Timeline of West Asia Mercy Hospital.
Casino.
A revolver betting game is underway.
"Adorable little Zero..."
The Thief Ghost stared at Guan Ming across the table, "Your uncles will take good care of you~"
The Bank Ghost next to him also chimed in with a lewd, eerie laugh.
"I'm all in, you guys do whatever you want."
The Stocking Bandit, sitting on the other side, shoved the 540 Ghost Coins in front of him onto the center of the gambling table.
Cold sweat trickled down Guan Ming's forehead.
"Four... I was the last one to fire..."
Guan Ming's lips were trembling, and his murmurs were drowned out by the surrounding noise.
Facing these three unfathomable masters, if he made even one wrong move...
One wrong shot, and the consequence is a wildly Brain Hole death, utterly mutilated!
What to do?!
Guan Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration: That's it! Use Precognitive Dream! Let's see what the future holds!
Desperate, he activated his Precognitive Dream Supernatural Ability on the spot.
However, when he saw the bloody and mangled scene in his dream...
Guan Ming jumped up from his chair!
"Something's coming! Everyone run!!!"
Guan Ming roared and turned to flee the chessboard towards the door.
"Roar!"
They saw Gambler daring to abandon the game midway.
The [Supervisor], hanging upside down from the ceiling, roared and drew a cleaver.
He was crawling at lightning speed across the ceiling, ready to catch up and chop Guan Ming into mincemeat.
But the next second...
"Boom!!"
The ceiling suddenly collapsed!
A black figure stepped on the [Supervisor's ] back and crashed down from the upper level!
"Pfft!"
The Supervisor was instantly trampled into a pile of minced meat!
Thick, Black Blood exploded, splattering all over the faces and heads of the two scoundrels on the gambling table.
The newcomer was Zhang Lingqi, who had escaped to this timeline by following Time Fragment.
Ye Yilin and Liu Rui, standing beside the ruins, were completely stunned.
The two stared at each other, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
"Where... where did this amazing guy fall from?"
Liu Rui swallowed hard.
Zhang Lingqi paid no attention to the stunned audience.
His body churned with deathly energy as he frantically searched for traces of Time Fragment amidst the ruins.
The Abyss is closing in soon, we have to hurry!
Just then, the Stocking Bandit sitting at the gambling table muttered:
As the saying goes, CT scans have never been tilted back.
"Hey buddy, that aerial maneuver of yours was pretty unique."
Those words were a wake-up call!
Zhang Lingqi then realized that he had fallen from above, and he looked up.
Sure enough, Time Fragment were suspended among the ruins of the upper level!
Thanks!
Zhang Lingqi bent his knees and charged straight upwards!
But just as his fingertips were about to touch the Time Fragment...
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the surface of the fragment, and a figure stepped out from it!
It is the [Abyss]!
He stretched out his fair hand and grabbed Zhang Lingqi by the neck!
"A cunning little mouse..."
"Finally, I caught you!"
With that, He tightened His fingers, about to crush Zhang Lingqi's neck!
But the next moment, a cold smile appeared on Zhang Lingqi's face, which was flushed red from holding back his anger.
[The Executioner] is activated!
This is not River of Time the laws are absolutely Suppression!
In the mortal realm, the [Executioner]'s Intangibility ability is activated!
Zhang Lingqi's body transformed into a cloud of Black Mist in [Abyss]'s palm.
He slipped through the gaps in the Abyss's fingers and plunged once again into that Time Fragment!
"Damn bugs!!!"
The duck that was about to be eaten flew away again, and [Abyss] let out a furious roar.
He retaliated with a furious slap, striking down from a distance!
"Bang!"
The Thief Ghost and the Bank Ghost, who were still stunned at the gambling table, were instantly slapped into two puddles of mush!
[The Abyss] once again chased into the Time Fragment and disappeared.
The dust gradually settled.
The Stocking Bandit remained seated, glancing down at the two splatters of paste belonging to his fellow card players on the gambling table.
He glanced again at the 540 Ghost Coins in the middle, then silently took out a lighter and lit a cigarette.
Still want to gamble?
Soul Return Town, the main hall of Central Forest Garden.
The afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the windows into the main hall.
The Phoenix Emperor lay sprawled on its phoenix throne, heartbroken.
"Master, are you... thinking about Dragon God again?"
The Little Sparrow, who was wiping the vase nearby, noticed her master's absent-mindedness and teased him.
Two blushes rose on the Phoenix Emperor's beautiful cheeks as she turned her head away haughtily.
"You brat, I told you not to talk nonsense!"
Who would like that jerk?!
But as she said this, her fingers drew Circle on the armrest of the phoenix chair.
When Little Sparrow saw this tsundere appearance, she knew that her master had long been lovesick.
She smiled slightly, but then couldn't help but sigh.
He walked to the bedside, picked up the feather duster, and continued cleaning, muttering to himself.
I wonder when the Dragon God will return...
Just then!
"Whoosh! Boom!"
Two shooting stars streaked across the sky above Soul Return Town!
Upon closer inspection.
That wasn't a shooting star at all; it was Jiangnan and Hislay engaged in battle in mid-air!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew in mid-air.
Jiangnan wielded his Three-Point Double-Edged Spear, deflecting his opponent's deadly attacks multiple times with lightning-fast reflexes.
Even so, quite a few sharp spear points still managed to penetrate the defenses.
Bloodstains were left on Jiangnan's body!
Because of the combined power of two Divine Grade stats, Hislay's speed and strength are simply too great!
"Hahaha! Didn't expect that, did you, Dragon God?!"
Hislay, with a face exactly like Jiangnan's, let out an extremely arrogant laugh.
"You, who are so high and mighty, will one day be brought down by your own strength!"
Jiangnan did not respond to His mockery.
He ripped off his already tattered helmet mid-air.
It slammed into Hislay's face!
At the same time, Jiangnan's face finally lost all its casualness and revealed seriousness.
He used the strong wind to spin at high speed in the air, maximizing the centrifugal force, and the brick flew with tremendous force!
He flung the Three-Point Double-Edged Spear out of his hand!
"Not good!"
The careless Hislay's vision was blocked by the flying helmet.
When He Tug based on instinct, He ultimately suffered a great loss due to his real-world experience in life-or-death combat!
"Bang!!!"
The Three-Point Double-Edged Spear struck Hislay in the waist and abdomen!
He spat out a mouthful of white divine blood, which crashed into a corner on the edge of Soul Return Town.
Jiangnan flashed and landed on the bluestone street of Soul Return Town.
Inside the main hall of Central Forest Garden.
Little Sparrow, who was cleaning, saw what was happening in mid-air through the window.
Clang.
A tattered helmet, by sheer coincidence, pierced through the window and fell to her feet.
There were still bloodstains on it.
Little Sparrow picked up the helmet with trembling hands.
That familiar scent...
And that fleeting glimpse of that cold, handsome face in mid-air just now!
Without a doubt, it was him!
"Master! Master, look!"
The Little Sparrow had just turned its head to report the good news to the Phoenix Emperor when its voice abruptly stopped.
Because she discovered that the large phoenix chair was already empty.
A cool breeze blew from above, Little Sparrow looked up to see the newly renovated, luxurious roof of Central Forest Garden.
At this moment, someone has smashed a skylight open from the bottom up!
A broken roof beam crashed onto the phoenix chair, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Clearly, the Phoenix Emperor had smashed through the roof and rushed out without regard for anything else!
"..."
Little Sparrow looked at the helmet in her hand, then at the drafty roof, and remained silent for a full half minute.
Finally, she sighed helplessly.
He picked up the broom, silently accepted the reality of cleaning up the ruins, and muttered to himself.
"Little Sparrow, you've worked hard. Your master is the Phoenix Emperor..."
"This time, the Dragon God must pay for the roof repairs!"
Smoke and dust filled the deep pit on the edge of Soul Return Town.
Jiangnan emerged from the smoke, his body swaying slightly.
Blood was flowing from the wound on his head, and there were bruises at the corners of his mouth.
And in the ruins across the way.
Hislay crawled out of the pit, a large hole punched into his chest from the bullet.
White divine blood is flowing continuously.
"Ahem... As expected of the Dragon God veteran of countless battles."
Hislay wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"In terms of pure combat experience, I truly cannot defeat you, you monster..."
"Well, since we can't compete in terms of skill, let's just play with pure numbers!"
Hislay formed hand seals, attempting to replicate Jiangnan's divine skill, while chanting.
"The Eternal Torrent halts in my palm! The past is gone, the future is yet to come... the River of Time!"
But...
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding air became still, without even a breeze.
There is no Shadow of the River of Time!
"How is that possible!"
Hislay stared at his hands, his face filled with disbelief.
"My [Myriad Forms of All Beings] can perfectly replicate the target's divine skills and all Sequence Supernatural Ability!"
"Why... why can't I use it?!"
Seeing this, Jiangnan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly sneered.
What he used wasn't some kind of Sequence Supernatural Ability at all.
Hislay was able to replicate the Chaos Armor because, although the armor was transformed from Word Spirit, it had already solidified into a physical elemental weapon.
But...
What about [Word Spirit]?
Word Spirit has no Supernatural Ability circuits and no spiritual power operation!
No matter how extraordinary the Myriad Forms of All Beings may be, it cannot replicate a language!
Jiangnan raised a finger.
"The Finger of Sacred Judgment swept across the sky, erasing five breaths of time..."
"All things return to their origin, cause and effect are re-established..."
"Chronos!"
"Buzz!"
A golden clock appeared behind Jiangnan, its hands rapidly reversing!
"Isn't this just Void Supernatural Ability?! How could you..."
Hislay had barely uttered a sound of shock when, in the next instant, five seconds had been erased!
In those five missing seconds, Jiangnan had already retaliated in kind!
"Bang!"
The instant time resumed its flow, Hislay was already airborne, spitting out divine blood.
Jiangnan followed closely behind, executing a tomahawk-style downward slash in mid-air.
It cleaved Him from top to bottom into the hard ground!
"Boom!"
The earth cracked, and half of the Chaos Armor on Hislay's body was completely shattered.
It revealed His original divine mask, half laughing and half weeping!
Jiangnan landed lightly on the ground, his spear pointing diagonally.
"Hahaha... I get it! I finally get it!"
Hislay staggered to his feet in the deep pit.
Instead of being angry, He burst into wild laughter.
"No wonder you're so difficult to deal with, no wonder your growth rate is outrageously fast!"
"So... what you were using wasn't Supernatural Ability at all!"
"Because Void didn't die at all, and your Supernatural Ability weren't obtained through hunting and plundering!"
"You're a cheater who broke all the rules!"
Jiangnan remained expressionless, neither denying nor denying the allegations, but instead issuing an ultimatum.
"Now that you understand, just admit defeat."
"Admit defeat? No, no, no, that's too early!"
"This grand drama has only just reached its climax!"
He opened his arms as if embracing the entire sky.
This is the second divine skill of the Deception God, activated in the Soul Return Town!
"The boundary between illusion and reality, the final chapter of joy and sorrow, separation and reunion."
"Tear apart this hypocritical facade, descend!"
"Twins of the Other Shore!"
"Sizzle!"
With a sound of flesh being torn apart, Hislay's body was split in two!
The Smile Face and the Cry Face split apart, becoming two independent entities!
Even more critically, their personalities diverged dramatically.
The one on the left, with Smile Face, is arrogant and confident, exuding an extremely violent aura of killing intent.
The person on the right with Cry Face is extremely self-conscious, crying and covering their face.
But what's most devastating is that their strength is an exact double superposition!
Seeing this, Jiangnan's gaze darkened.
This reminded him of [No-Self], which he had encountered in the Rose Middle School instance.
At that time, the other person also possessed a similar capacity for separation.
However, [No-Self] cannot directly split into two fighting forces!
"Hahahaha! Dragon God! Are you ready to be crushed into mincemeat?!"
[Smile Face] charged forward, laughing wildly, each move deadly, all were wide-ranging and deadly attacks.
"Feel the thrill of being deceived! Feel the exhilaration of being torn apart by despair!"
"Waaaaah... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hit you..."
A Cry Face then appeared behind Jiangnan.
While apologizing profusely, he thrust out the Sharp Blade in his hand.
"But why aren't you dead yet? If you were dead, you wouldn't feel pain... I'm sorry..."
Jiangnan was caught in a tough battle, fighting two opponents at once.
These two gods not only coordinated perfectly, but their frenzied attack rhythm was also impossible to defend against.
Even if Hislay cannot replicate the Word Spirit, he can still achieve Divine Grade stats simply by combining them.
That's enough to crush everything on a physical level!
"Bang!"
Under the perfect combined attack of the two gods, Jiangnan finally revealed a weakness.
He was kicked in the chest by the [Smile Face] and sent flying backward.
Most of the Chaos Armor on his body shattered.
Die!!!
[Smile Face] let out a wild roar, descended from the sky, and brandished Three-Point Double-Edged Spear.
Heading straight for the head of Jiangnan!
They want to eliminate him!
In an instant...
"Boom!!!"
A white pillar of fire shot into the sky in front of Jiangnan!
A figure appeared above Jiangnan!
She was engulfed in white flames, and in her hand was a battle blade formed from Hellfire.
He met [Smile Face]'s deadly attack head-on!
"Bang!"
The recoil force sent the [Smile Face] flying back!
"Ouch... it hurts so much! It hurts so much! How can I put Undying this fire?!"
The [Smile Face] tumbles in mid-air, flicking the white flames that cling to the back of its hand.
"Waaaaah... Are you alright? Let me blow on it for you..."
[Cry Face] quickly moved closer and breathed on [Smile Face]'s fingers with heartache.
And below.
Jiangnan was slightly taken aback as he looked at the figure that was blocking his way.
She turned around, with that smile on her face.
"Jiangnan, you're back..."
