Chapter 204
Sizzle!
A sharp sound, like cloth being torn apart, appeared out of nowhere.
Xiao Huasheng actually tore open a crack that flickered with chaotic light with her bare hands in the locked space in front of her!
Without a second thought, she slipped inside, her figure disappearing from the real world.
The next second, she was already at the end of the corridor, continuing to run wildly without looking back!
239 watched helplessly as his prey escaped once again. He was stunned for a moment, then an expression of near-frustration appeared on his empty face.
She stomped her foot and shouted in a shrill, childish voice:
"You bastard! You're cheating!!"
Before her shout had even faded, her Reality-Warping Ability was activated at full power once more.
The spatial structure, which had just been restored to normal, was forcibly altered again, the rules were Distortion, and the concept of distance was blurred.
In the distance, Xiao Huasheng, who was running for his life, once again felt that familiar, desperate pulling force.
Her forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and the surrounding scenery flashed back rapidly like a film playing in reverse.
No matter how hard she tried to fight back, she was still uncontrollably pulled back to 239's front.
The space was locked once again.
Xiao Huasheng: "..."
239 stared intently at her, the energy fluctuations emanating from her body indicating that she would never allow the same thing to happen a third time.
However, just as 239 thought everything was foolproof and was about to make his move to capture the enemy...
Sizzle!
The space in front of Xiao Huasheng was torn open again by her bare hands!
This Angel possessed an alarmingly high level of Reality-Warping Ability, easily altering everything 239 had done.
The red-haired Angel's figure disappeared into the rift once more, reappearing in the distance, continuing to run.
"Ouch!!!" 239 was so angry he almost jumped up, and without hesitation activated his ability again.
Pull back!
Locked!
Sizzle--
Tear it open! Run away!
"You scoundrel!!!"
Pull it back!
Lock it again!
This cycle repeats itself endlessly.
But the red-haired Angel kept moving forward.
I'm drenched in sweat!
This is how the red-haired Angel describes herself.
239 has grown so fast, she's even using tricks now. Before, she would just throw some stones to change the terrain, but now she's directly using spatial laws.
Xiao Huasheng's speed advantage was immediately neutralized...
At this moment, Xiao Huasheng was thinking about what Doctor. Clef had just told her, and that clear memory map.
Clef: 'This is a very simple task. You just need to guide 239 to the location I've sent you in my mind.'
Xiao Huasheng: 'What's so simple about it?'
Regardless, Xiao Huasheng accepted the task and even mocked 239's incompetence.
Now 239 is going to chase after her regardless of everything else.
"Angela, how much further do we have? We really can't hold on any longer," Xiao Huasheng asked her.
Now 239 has learned to compress space, so no matter how fast she runs, she can only go in circles.
The red-haired Angel was like a hamster on a rolling drum, constantly running around.
Unless you break the roller with force, you can't escape at all.
Even if it breaks, it's quickly pulled back into the drum and needs to be broken again.
As a result of these back-and-forth exchanges, Xiao Huasheng's energy has been depleted by as much as 56% since the start of the war.
If it were the energy before the upgrade, she would have been too weak to continue and would have melted down, lying there helplessly at anyone's mercy.
It was only then that Xiao Huasheng realized just how terrifying the monsters in this cesspool world were.
Clearly, she was only playing BabyBus before, and now they're going to give her a much more intense experience.
[One more breakthrough is just ahead, Manager.] Angela reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huasheng no longer hesitated and immediately activated his Reality-Warping Ability.
Her 5% energy was quickly depleted, and then she broke through the sealed space and leaped forward.
She covered her head with her hands and smashed through the door, rolling into a room with a mirror.
"So, this is your choice?"
At that moment, 239's emotionless voice rang out, and she slowly floated in from outside the door, her face filled with hatred and anger.
The Foundation's long-term imprisonment and the act of putting her to sleep caused her immense suffering.
All she wants now is to return it all to the Foundation.
Let's start with this Angel in front of us!
239 thought resentfully.
"Then take a look behind you."
Xiao Huasheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, 239's pupils contracted slightly, and he turned around abruptly.
In the shadows of the corner of the room, Entity-343 had quietly appeared, still wearing that kind and benevolent smile.
Without any hesitation, or even a moment to think, 239 instinctively launched an attack on this uninvited guest!
Her eyes sharpened, she chanted an incantation, and gently pointed her slender finger in the direction of Entity-343.
In an instant, the air in the room changed drastically. All the gases in the room were replaced with yellowish-green chlorine gas, which was highly corrosive and instantly filled every inch of space around Entity-343, intending to completely engulf him.
However, this fatal transformation lasted only a moment.
Without even seeing Entity-343 make any move, the thick chlorine gas was wiped away as if by an invisible hand, instantly returning to the original colorless and odorless air.
Xiao Huasheng and Clift were both amazed by this battle of wits from afar.
Even Xiao Huasheng was seeing a battle of this caliber for the first time.
Chapter 31: What does it mean to have great luck? [1 update]
A flicker of surprise crossed 239's face, but it was quickly followed by a deeper anger.
Unconvinced, she waved her hand again.
This time, the floor beneath Entity-343's feet instantly turned into a pool of bubbling, strong acid.
The acid surged, yet it couldn't stain the hem of his pristine white robe in the slightest.
Before the pool of acid even touched him, it had silently transformed back into solid floorboards.
239 bit her lower lip and waved her arms repeatedly, as various malicious Reality Warping followed one after another.
Entity-343 suddenly increased hundreds of times, enough to flatten steel, but he still stood firmly, without even the hem of his robe twitching.
The temperature around him instantly dropped to near freezing point, then instantly became as scorching as flames that could burn a witch to death. Entity-343 smiled slightly, unable to leave any mark on him.
Each time 239 launches an attack, the violent and deadly Reality Warping effect is barely manifested before it is silently "corrected back to its original state" by a greater and more fundamental force.
Entity-343 wore a smile throughout, and made no apparent retaliatory move.
He was like a patient old man watching a naughty child haphazardly knock over the building blocks, and then patiently and gently picking up each block and putting it back in its rightful place.
But destruction is always much simpler than repair, and repair requires far more work.
Turning air into chlorine is a simple idea, but turning chlorine into air requires dozens of ideas.
And the slight disadvantages among Reality-Warping Ability users... will be magnified infinitely.
Before long, blood began to slowly trickle down Entity-343's nose.
Do gods bleed?
The confrontation between the two intensified, with 343 frantically repairing while 239 wreaked havoc.
Space itself began to wail!
The focus of the power struggle between the two was that the structure of reality could no longer withstand this repeated ravages and repairs.
Click!
A pitch-black spatial rift, its edges shimmering with chaotic colors, appeared out of thin air in the center of the room, like a torn canvas!
A chilling suction force emanated from the rift, drawing in all the surrounding debris!
This scene made Doctor. Clef stop and watch for a while, his hands momentarily frozen in place.
At this moment Entity-343's expression finally became slightly serious.
He had to allocate some of his resources to stabilizing this space to prevent the cracks from widening and causing the entire site structure to collapse.
And in that moment of distraction—
239's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Sensing that 343's mind was elsewhere, she gathered even greater power, preparing to launch an even more powerful attack!
At this critical moment!
Doctor. Clef, who had been leaning against the doorway and observing coldly, finally made a move.
The nonchalant expression on his face vanished instantly.
With astonishing speed, he pulled a revolver from his pocket.
With his thumb, he pried open the hammer, and with his other hand, he produced a bullet of the same material, covered in strange patterns, and swiftly loaded it into the cylinder.
With a flick of his wrist, he raised his arm and pulled the trigger!
Bang!
A gunshot, though not loud, rang out.
Should we fire at this time?
Xiao Huasheng looked at Doctor. Clef in shock. In this level of Reality Warping, even pulling out firearms would be almost useless, wouldn't it?
At least, she herself never tried to fire guns at the Reality Bender; instead, she used the same Distortion abilities as the Reality Bender.
After all, even Xiao Huasheng himself found this thing strange; it was impossible to take down the opponent with firearms.
As I said before, only magic can fight magic.
As it turned out, Xiao Huasheng was completely wrong.
This bullet was not simple to begin with.
The Distortion space surrounding both objects was enough to block all attacks from firearms, yet this bullet easily pierced through this spatial barrier.
That special bullet, made of Mind-Shielding Alloy, with its eerie shriek that tore through the mind, ignored the distance in space, instantly pierced through the room, and shot straight into 239's temple!
At this moment, all of 239's attention was focused on Entity-343.
She didn't even bother to defend herself against the seemingly ordinary gun and the bullet that emitted no energy fluctuations!
Splat! Blood splattered everywhere!
The bullet pierced her skull with pinpoint accuracy, releasing tremendous kinetic energy instantly, causing her head to explode like a smashed watermelon!
A mixture of red and white substances and bone fragments splattered radially backward, leaving shocking marks on the walls.
