Chapter 336
The Tonghua, which launched its 53rd attack in a new projection form, went completely unnoticed by the God of War.
"Thud!" The two high-speed spinning chainsaws were plunged into each other's wounds by Tonghua.
The chainsaw spun with difficulty, but when the War God's attack landed on Tonghua 0.02 seconds later, the number of bleeding layers on the opponent increased by dozens.
It's so tight, it's really too tight.
Moreover, the other party reacted very quickly.
This also proves how powerful this evil god is.
The Tonghua, having suffered a fatal wound, chose to disband itself, revealing a mocking smile to this final evil god.
Although it was the Tonghua that died, it was the other side that lost.
I can make countless mistakes, but you only have one life and can't afford to make even one.
Tonghua has no intention of defending herself, after all, she needs time to heal from her injuries, but if she dies, she'll be a hero again after getting a 1- Starstones!
"Oh dear, I've already wasted two lives on this war god... The amount of health he loses every second is already in the 25-digit range (2 to the power of 80). He's really tough." Tonghua commented, looking at the "blood cloud" above the God of War's head.
That wasn't a blood cloud; that was actually his health bar.
The opponent only needs Tonghua to advance to the final evil god. Tonghua only steals a couple of bites from each evil god she defeats, so her total strength is only about two or three evil gods. The divinity of the remaining evil gods all belong to the opponent... This is the reason why the opponent's health bar has skyrocketed.
However, the health bar is already half empty, and it is decreasing at a visible rate.
"Two more times will be enough," Chen Li reminded him.
"But if we wait another two or three minutes, the other side will die on its own. I don't think we can keep sending my projection to its death."
"But each of his attacks can break the limit of the Friends Circle, which means that he loses 1 Starstones every four seconds (one second of invincibility, three seconds of invulnerability), 15 Starstones per minute, and 45 Starstones in 3 minutes. All the Starstones you save are yours."
"Go, you must go! I'm not trying to save Starstones, I just don't want you Chen Li, to waste your Bonds!" Tonghua equipped her projection with that set of Miraculous Items once again.
"Go to hell! Just admit you're greedy!" Projection Tonghua rolled her eyes at Tonghua, then grabbed [God Must Die] and charged into the sky again.
"Speaking of which, do I really need to sharpen my knife so many times? Anyway, my projection won't last more than 100 seconds. Wouldn't it be enough to just let them waste 1% of their stamina every second?" Tonghua suddenly asked Chen Li a question.
"... That makes sense." Chen Li nodded.
But you'd better not let your projection hear you say that... Oh, no, the next second you'll be your new projection, so never mind.
You'd better pray that this projection will end the battle, or you're in for a beating.
"What an admirable enemy! What a thrilling battle!" Tonghua, whose head had been knocked askew by the final blow from the God of War, stood up from the recliner.
When Tonghua utters these words, it also means that the last evil god besides Tonghua will fall.
But...
"I think I understand what the God of War was thinking back then." Tet stroked his chin.
"Self" could crush all the gods hiding in the shadows except for himself with just a single finger, yet the strongest version of himself was defeated by the weakest human, and even had his throne stolen by a Game God who appeared out of nowhere...
It sounds like I'm even more despicable than Tonghua.
I'll go back and grab a bottle of good wine, then go chat with the God of War for a while.
"War never ends... Even if I fall, new flames of war will still devour everything! Like a game that never ends!" One of the six righteous gods known as the God of War, he finally fell in the Friends Circle.
His health was already at zero, but his figure remained upright.
"Since you feel so satisfied, why don't you go and have a chat with him?" Chen Li suggested.
"No need, a king cannot meet a king," Tonghua refused.
Although the other party is dead, Tonghua always feels that the other party is full of resentment. What if the corpse beats her up?
"War is a dirty game, and I'm an even dirtier player!" Tonghua sighed.
"It is indeed filthy."
"It's so filthy."
"How despicable!"
"You lot, don't go too far. Once I've consumed all their divinity and become the world's evil god, you won't be able to reach me! Hmph!" Tonghua said smugly.
"Can you even finish it?" Chen Li reached out and gestured, causing the Friends Circle floating in the sky to gradually shrink until it landed in Chen Li's hand.
Within the Friends Circle, the divine flame, condensed to a chilling degree and radiating a dazzling yet eerie light, sends shivers down one's spine upon seeing it.
"Uh...it doesn't look like anything good." Tonghua took a step back.
"After all, it's the divinity of an evil god. Come on, Tonghua, take your medicine. Everything will be alright after you take your medicine." Chen Li took the Judgment of All Things from Sirin, inserted the blade into the Friends Circle, cut the only burning flame in the Friends Circle vertically, projected another Friends Circle, put half of the flame into it, and then put it to Tonghua's mouth.
"Do you want to watch me choke to death and then inherit my entire world? This thing will kill you, won't it?" Tonghua was worried that her esophagus might be burned when she thought about the ball of fire in front of her, which was what she was about to eat.
You have to eat it no matter what.
"Ah, I have an idea!" Aqua suddenly raised her hand.
"What plan?"
"Why not just break this flame into pieces and let your clones eat them? At worst, the clones will die a few more times, or even dozens of times... or maybe hundreds of times. But it'll be faster."
Aqua suddenly realized that after the projection gains power, it dies and returns to the original body, which can quickly digest this power.
"... Very good suggestion, please don't make such suggestions again. If you don't mind, try this." Chen Li took out a gem that shimmered with a strange color.
"This is?"
"A projection of Gourmet Cells. In other words, food that can help me eat everything."
"I can instantly digest all this power just by using this Miraculous Item?" Tonghua's eyes lit up.
"That's right."
"If you had such a good thing, why didn't you bring it out sooner?"
"But the downside is that you might not be able to control your suddenly increased power, such as destroying an entire city with a yawn."
This is why Chen Li rarely takes out this Miraculous Item.
Chen Li has the ability to allocate resources, while they do not.
"No problem, we evil gods can adapt to the growth of our bodies by going into a deep sleep."
"Sure, but be careful not to sleep until the very end." Chen Li nodded.
"How is that possible? This power takes several months to adapt to... well, several months... never mind, let my projection go to its death!" Tonghua thought for two seconds and then said decisively.
It may take several months to reach the finale, but it will definitely put you far behind others.
"???"
"Or could you help me create a Miraculous Item that allows me to control my body's power?"
"You're still crafting Miraculous Item? Here, I'll lend you this Miraculous Item." Chen Li thought for a moment, then took off one of the earliest Miraculous Item he had ever crafted—the [Constraint Bracelet]—and handed it to Tonghua.
"Oh, isn't this the bracelet you always wear? By the way, what's the effect of this bracelet?" The Great Herta recognized the bracelet.
"It's very simple. Restrain your abilities so that they only work when they benefit you. I use this to restrain my transmigrator abilities," Chen Li explained.
"Is it really appropriate to lend me this Miraculous Item?"
"You are welcome."
"Chen Li, I'm so touched."
"No need to be moved... I will create an even better Miraculous Item for myself," Chen Li said softly.
"... If you hadn't said that last sentence, I would have been even more touched. Never mind, let's just pretend we didn't hear it." Tonghua took the bracelet and put it on her wrist, then pinched the Gourmet Cells in her other hand and swallowed the half-flame-covered Friends Circle post into her mouth with the last bite.
After seeing the divine essence enter his mouth, Chen Li canceled the summoning of the projected Friends Circle.
With the help of the Gourmet Cells, the immense power—so great that even an evil god would need years to tame—was instantly digested. Pale green flames engulfed Tonghua's entire body, and within the endless flames, Tonghua's form began to dissipate, finally transforming into...
"A Tonghua book?" Chen Li touched the book curiously.
Because the book's title is "Tonghua".
But as the flames rose, the word "Tonghua" gradually distorted and transformed into two other words. "World."
[Here's a Wondrous Brush: Use the Source Text "world" to replace the characters used in this world.]
"Oh." Although he didn't know what benefit the Pixie's suggestion would bring, Chen Li still took out his Wondrous Brush and gently touched the green flame burning on the Fairy Tale Book.
The flames were instantly absorbed by the Wondrous Brush and turned into paint, and the Fairy Tale Book fell silent in an instant.
As Chen Li slowly wrote the word "World" on the book cover, the flames blazed up again, even more fiercely than before! Startled, Chen Li and his group members took two steps back.
The Fairy Tale Book, enveloped in flames, gradually transformed into human form, and the Tonghua reappeared before everyone's eyes.
"You're welcome." Sensing the eerie gaze from the seemingly unchanged Tonghua, Chen Li gestured for her to stop.
"You scoundrel... I wanted to say that, but I suppose you don't even know where your scoundrelness lies. Never mind." Tonghua suddenly sighed.
"???"
"Let's go, let's set off, the next stop, which is also the last stop," Great Herta Chaoxing gestured.
A genius must learn to read between the lines. Chen Li must really want to change the subject now, like to change the world!
Xing nodded, then threw out Poké Ball and chose to release the Astral Express.
That's right, you can also capture the Astral Express, and it even comes with a Pixie — Pom-Pom.
"Wow, is this the Core Flame that ignites the world?" Pom-Pom asked curiously, looking at the flames that were constantly burning in her Friends Circle.
"No, this is half of the world."
"Oh, what about Chen Li?"
"He's just sitting there... Ah, where's Chen Li?"
"I don't know, it just disappeared in a flash. Maybe something urgent happened."
"No black holes or teleportation portals?"
"No."
"Are you sure Chen Li left because he had an emergency, and not because he got lost?"
"Getting lost? Is this some new setting?"
"It's hard to explain in a short time, but anyway... Chen Li has disappeared! He must be out flirting with other women again!"
"Achoo! Where the hell did I end up? Is this still the Honkai Star Railway?" Chen Li sneezed, looking at the scene before him in a daze.
The white marble pillars seemed to stand in a vast, empty place, seemingly suspended in the clouds.
Chen Li felt that this place was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
"Intruder, your intrusion ends here." A black and red spatial rift suddenly opened, and an unfamiliar deity appeared before Chen Li.
"??? Kiana??? What are you doing here???"
No, isn't this the Heavenly Principles' Maintainer?!
Chen Li quickly realized what was happening.
So this isn't the Honkai Star Railway after all!
To be transported to such an outrageous place... that's going too far!
"Let's discuss this. I'll leave now, and you can pretend you didn't see anything, okay?" Chen Li had no ill intentions as he looked at the guardian of Heavenly Principles before him.
"Heh. You radiate an aura of Destruction. Do you think I'd believe you?" The Sustainer sneered.
The aura emanating from this person... it's like he just Destruction a world, isn't it?
"You might not believe it, but I'm a good person..." Chen Li tried to explain.
You are consuming "World Evil God," not "World." Don't misunderstand.
"Despicable stranger!" The Heavenly Principles' Maintainer waved his hand casually, and countless black and red cubes surged towards Chen Li, looking very much like the Imaginary Power of the Herrscher of the Void.
"How dare you talk to me like that? Is your mother a wholesaler?" Chen Li was enraged by the words "despicable stranger."
Not all time travelers are despicable outsiders; at least I wouldn't smash pots and pans or ransack other people's homes!
"Snap!" Chen Li his fingers, and countless imaginary rifts opened up behind him. However, the imaginary rifts did not contain the devastating Spear of the Void...
