Yuan'an's False Hope / A Funny Misunderstanding
"Damn it! Fuxk!!!"
"Thirty million! Awesome!!!"
Cong Yu passed away at the age of 17 years and an unknown number of months.
Thus, this King of Wind City, worthy of being remembered, also met his end amidst the intricate machinations of humankind.
His life has come to an end.
[Brother, you're finally dead... As expected, even a host standing in the heavens will eventually be brought down.]
[Although I don't know why I feel a little regretful, it's time, it's time! It's time for the world to embrace this future, to embrace what is destined...]
[Welcome this ruin, welcome this destruction, welcome this loneliness, welcome this end, welcome this...]
[Extinction! Annihilation!!]
Chapter 540 Source Darkness Joy
Cong Yu is dead.
Next up to take over the body is--
[Yeah--]
Yeah, just kidding, Cong Yu didn't actually die.
Ignoring the narrator's persecution of Source Darkness- chan, let's shift our focus back to the people present.
On a distant high-rise building, a group of assassins, who themselves thought they were incredibly daring, attacked the Monster King —it truly took courage.
However, tempted by money and profit, these hotheads did it anyway, and... it seems they really did win.
They really did kill the King of Wind City.
From then on, let alone thirty or forty million and making a name for themselves, they might even become the spiritual leader of the resistance among mankind.
Even the company members who were in contact with these assassins couldn't help but blush in front of the phone, moved by the achievements they had made.
Only then did they finally understand.
The so-called Monster King is nothing special, nothing extraordinary, and nothing invincible...
The so-called "walking natural Calamity" is not so unattainable.
If you are killed, then you will die... This is the ultimate truth for all living beings, the ultimate truth of this world!
So, if a sniper rifle kills the King of Wind City, a missile can take down the Rap King, and a nuclear bomb can eliminate the King of the Wild Hunt.
The Monster King is nothing special!!!
"..." Meanwhile, the members of "Diaomao" company were smug about this conclusion, feeling that their lives were already complete.
The passengers on the Jormungandr Train, however, were not so calm.
"Cong Yu! Cong Yu!!!"
"Aaaaaah!!" x2
Amidst Shuten's tense shouts and the screams of the two human women, Tamamo wagged her tail in confusion, wondering what Shuten was thinking.
Although feeling the bullet coming at her made Tamamo tense for a moment, the unexpected failure of Cong Yu to dodge made her tense for another instant.
But they're still trapped inside the train's protective spell, and the spell hasn't been dispelled, which clearly proves that Cong Yu is unharmed, doesn't it?
Cong Yu, meanwhile, remained standing, her hands still in her pockets... completely unharmed?
Well, it wouldn't be accurate to say she was completely unharmed, since Cong Yu's head is still recovering... and recovering quite quickly.
This is very abnormal.
Everyone clearly saw the bullet pierce through his chest and head simultaneously, yet he was completely unharmed.
Apart from some of his own blood and a torn shirt at the chest, there was absolutely no sign of injury on his body...
It shouldn't have been like this, with two vital points breached simultaneously.
So, was Cong Yu's heart truly struck?
"I've been tricked..."
As he said this, Cong Yu reached into his chest and rummaged around, digging out the bullet that was stuck inside.
This is perhaps the power of modern firearms... and the opponent's sniper rifle is clearly custom-made, designed with a powerful monster as the hypothetical enemy.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy for someone as powerful as Cong Yu, the Monster King, to penetrate Murasame's body.
"Although I really want to say that I deliberately took the bullet, just to make you face reality and thus enhance my own image."
"But I'm sorry... as Monster King who couldn't even dodge bullets like that, I think it's better for me to admit my laxity."
Cong Yu remarked with a sigh, gazing at the distant rooftops, not caring whether the other person could hear her. "People have really become much lazier lately."
Thinking about it carefully, it's probably because I've been having too many comfortable days lately.
The land of gentle pleasures is a graveyard for heroes...
However, for Cong Yu to now blame Yaochuan Guang and the others for his "burnout"... even if it's just a complaint, he...
It's something they don't want to do.
To be frank, it really can't be blamed on Yaochuan Guang.
"Ugh, how embarrassing..."
As he sighed, Cong Yu showed no sign of anger. Instead, his face was full of emotion as he stomped on the scalp, bone fragments, and brain matter that had fallen to the ground.
He then reached out and combed his newly grown hair back, wiping the bloodstains from his forehead.
That was his head, now fully restored, proof of what had just been opened.
To be honest, if someone really loses their head or their heart explodes, they can only wait for their companions to save them, and even the Monster King is no exception.
But coincidentally, Cong Yu brought her companions with her today.
Although their companions hadn't been of any use yet, there really wasn't any need for rescue after the attack.
Other side...
It's clear they never actually attacked the Monster King.
No, that's beyond doubt.
You could even say that the guys from this company were among the first mortals in the world to dare to challenge the Monster King.
Before this, even when trying to deal with the Monster King, it was always magical girls who did it... Now, technological advancements have given humanity confidence.
In a way, I witnessed history.
Clearly, monsters that have reached the King Level are no longer easy to ambush, although their weaknesses remain unchanged.
It remains both Mana-Supplying Organ and an organ for thinking.
However, the margin for error has increased considerably...
It's much taller.
Monster King aren't so easy to kill. Their reaction speed is enough to avoid the sound of air being pierced and hit their vitals. It's pointless if their brains and hearts aren't completely crushed.
Yes, at the King Level, while the vital points are still vital points, they require [Complete Shattering☆Jade Shattering] to be effective...
It's pointless to blast open half of it or flip open its head.
Furthermore, it could even be argued that, disregarding raw strength and focusing solely on survivability, Cong Yu is relatively weak among the Monster King.
After all, there are quite a few creatures with the ability to resurrect.
The truth behind Cong Yu's apparent apparent innocence was revealed in the very instant just now.
If someone could slow down the footage, they would see that the spiraling bullet did indeed strike Cong Yu squarely in the chest.
Then...
"Thump--"
After striking Cong Yu's heart, the bullet made a brief, dull thud as it compressed itself into a small disc.
The bullet pierced Cong Yu's chest, wobbling and tearing open the cavity before striking... his heart, as black as ink, shrouded in a faint, dark mist.
No, is that really a heart?
That thing, resembling a heart in shape and like a dark silhouette, was the Doctor's proud creation and proof of the fusion of Cong Yu.
The Monster Core, equipped with "Steel Hide" and "High-Speed Recovery".
"..."
"It's not that it's recovered, it's that it's gained rock-solid physical immunity... A sniper rifle? If it evolves any further, it'll be more like Gustav Cannon."
Cong Yu said this, she gently waved towards the distant rooftop, and the howling Giant Serpent instantly swallowed it.
Humans these days are incredibly bold! You know... the world was just trembling with fear.
[Oh...]
Chapter 541 An Interesting Misunderstanding
The King of Wind City has been making quite a stir lately, sending Takemikazuchi to Central City to become the Monster King, and also taking down the Wystan Entertainment Group in the United States.
It's almost as if one person is commanding the world's eccentrics...
All the Monster Group became his foils, including the United States Monster Group... but they didn't seem to mind.
Or rather, they think the King of Wind City is truly awesome.
If it were any other corporation that ousted the boss of a large company, they would definitely be met with a barrage of criticism, and might even be suppressed by public opinion.
Then magical girls from all over the world will be attacking their company.
But what about the King of Wind City?
Look, the public opinion is full of comments like "Well done," "The King of Wind City is so handsome," and "The heartless boss should have died long ago."
What's this?
This is mind control!
These Monster Group figured that before long, humanity would be kneeling before the Monster King and completely accepting his rule.
To be honest, nobody knows why.
Even the Rap King couldn't quite understand why Cong Yu was so popular in United States. He was clearly Monster King himself...
Although his strength is rather pathetic compared to other Monster King, ordinary people shouldn't even know that.
If you're saying you're ugly, then that doesn't count.
Do you even know what hip-hop is?
Cong Yu hasn't even shown his face yet, so it can't possibly be because the Rap King is ugly, which means...
The Rap King can only think of one possibility right now--
"As expected, people nowadays still prefer dark green tones and don't like black? Or rather, anything that isn't black..."
Before the Rap King could finish his self-talk, Cong Yu's speechless voice came from beside him. "Because it's fashionable... they don't care what color scheme you use."
To ordinary people, before he was a tanned man, the Rap King was first and foremost a Monster King, and the latter identity was more important than the former.
And it needs to be much more eye-catching.
"Ah, Cong Yu... you're in United States again?"
The Rap King is no longer surprised by Cong Yu's unpredictable appearances... Cong Yu feels a bit like the magical girl Bat from the manga.
They would always suddenly speak from behind, and then suddenly disappear mid-sentence.
Superheroes, I guess.
"Hmm, they're here to kill someone again..."
As he said this, Cong Yu stepped out of the train and simply sat down next to the Rap King, watching the program playing on the big screen.
