It had to be said that Wang Shu and Kesha's battle had truly been spectacular—at least, that was how He Xi saw it.
Kesha had been invincible for thirty thousand years. This was the first time she had suffered a setback at someone's hands, and it felt quite satisfying.
On the canyon road beside the river, Wang Shu still kept his distance from Kesha.
The second-stage burst of Entangle covered the entire road and formed an enormous Vine Prison.
After being passively enraged, these vines became incredibly resilient—thick and tough.
Ordinary attacks could not destroy them at all, and the more she struggled, the stronger their binding force became.
In midair, Kesha was bound tightly from head to toe by the vines, especially around her legs, waist, and arms.
Even so, it still could not hide Kesha's gorgeous figure!
Wang Shu was an absolutely pure person. He had truly resorted to this only for the sake of battle, without the slightest improper thought. After all, he was still just a child.
Ahem, ahem.
Though she had initially panicked, Kesha was battle-hardened and experienced. She quickly calmed down.
A golden light suddenly rose around her body. It was incomparably brilliant, like a blazing sun!
Wherever the radiance passed, those hateful vines were like shameful evil spirits, burned to ashes one after another!
The Holy Angel hero had been modeled after the Angel Civilization, so flight was one of an angel's most basic abilities.
Wang Shu recognized at a glance that the golden shield around Kesha was caused by her activating the angel's Ultimate Move, Holy Sanctuary.
This skill could grant herself or an ally invincibility and remove all control effects from herself. It was an extremely overpowered ability.
"Oh? That's quite a nice ability."
Kesha felt the changes in her body, surprise appearing on her face. Though this was only a game, she had not truly regarded it as mere entertainment.
This was virtual reality technology, and the Holy Angel's abilities undoubtedly interested Kesha as well.
For example, this Holy Sanctuary. If angels truly possessed such an ability, it would be unimaginable.
"Why don't I have that ability?" He Xi asked.
Looking at her skill bar, everything seemed grayed out. She checked the total time of her previous duel: one minute and twenty-nine seconds. So she had been instantly killed that quickly.
No wonder she had felt like something was missing.
He Xi understood!
"What an interesting...!"
Kesha suddenly spoke... but before she could finish, the screen went dark. Her final awareness was of her body suddenly collapsing for no reason.
"???"
Three seconds later, Kesha revived on the spot. Her expression was complicated. Clearly, she could not accept the defeat, especially since she had lost so inexplicably.
"What happened?" Kesha asked, looking at Wang Shu with suspicion.
"Uh... the Lieyang Celestial God hero's skill deals continuous true damage. Although the Holy Angel's Ultimate Move can negate all control effects, you had already lost too much health," Wang Shu explained.
It had to be said, since it was his exclusive hero, how could it not have a few bugs?
"Hahaha, Kesha, a loss is a loss. Don't act so petty," He Xi said.
Though the duel had not been as exciting as she had imagined, seeing Kesha suffer and lose was still rather pleasing.
"He Xi, do you think I'm that petty? A loss is a loss."
Kesha said so, but the light in her eyes betrayed her. Clearly, she was unwilling to accept it.
"Hehe." He Xi smiled without saying anything.
"Actually, Sister Kesha, you're pretty amazing too!" Wang Shu praised.
Upon hearing that, the stern expression on Kesha's face softened slightly. Her brows relaxed, and a confident smile returned to her lips.
"You brat, why do you call every woman you meet sister?"
He Xi could not help rolling her eyes at Wang Shu, though she was still very satisfied with him inside.
Mm, as expected of my student! He's just a little too young... No, what am I thinking?!
He Xi hurriedly shook her head and forced herself to forget that embarrassing thought.
"Continue."
Kesha spoke. If she lost, then she had to win it back. Wherever she fell, she would rise again.
That was what it meant to be a king—unyielding and indomitable!
"No, fight me first!" He Xi said.
"Tch, He Xi, you couldn't even last two minutes. You're just a defeated opponent. There's no fun in bullying a weakling." Kesha stared down at He Xi, the meaning in her eyes unmistakable.
No matter how well-mannered He Xi was, Kesha's contempt still enraged her. Her chest rose and fell as she took deep breaths to calm herself.
"Sister, take care of your health. Getting angry is bad for your body. It can cause endocrine disorders," Wang Shu said.
He Xi glared fiercely at Wang Shu, but then her eyes lit up. Looking at Kesha with an even more arrogant gaze, she said disdainfully:
"Tch, Kesha, Wang Shu is my student. Even you can't beat him, so what right do you have to call me weak?"
"The waves behind drive on those before; the ones before die upon the shore. That's perfectly normal. He Xi, you have to face reality—Wang Shu's excellence actually has very little to do with you."
Kesha was exceptionally eloquent. Her verbal sparring with He Xi was practically a clash of needle against awl, neither yielding an inch.
It was no wonder. Even Morgana, that universe-exiled founding ancestor of tricksters, was always angered terribly whenever she faced Kesha.
And He Xi spent most of her time on research, so naturally she lacked Kesha and the others' experience and sophistication.
Thus, the fire that He Xi had only just managed to suppress blazed up fiercely once again.
"Wang Shu, teach this... a proper lesson for your teacher," He Xi finally said angrily.
Kesha smiled smugly and brushed the hair beside her ear. Invincibility truly was lonely!
He Xi! No, Pi Pi He Xi, my dear sister, you were still far too naive!
Wang Shu and Kesha entered Summoner's Rift once more. Kesha believed she had merely been careless last time, and that she would definitely win this time.
Thus, she was brimming with confidence, her fighting spirit high. She raised her chin proudly and looked down at Wang Shu.
What she did not know was that this marked the beginning of an eternal stain upon her life, one she would never be able to erase!
Many years later, after losing again and again, Kesha finally understood the true essence of players who used cheats!
Earth, the Nile River basin.
After the "natural disaster," a massive rift several thousand meters deep had appeared in the ground. For a thousand li around it, the land was scorched black and barren.
The air was filled with an extremely high temperature. No life could survive in such an environment.
Whoosh!
Space twisted into a vast, deep-blue vortex that continuously spun above the great rift, stirring up fierce currents of wind.
A figure emerged from the vortex. He wore an elegant blue robe that wrapped around his entire body, making him seem exceedingly mysterious.
He was Death God Karl, who had opened an interstellar Great Wormhole Bridge from the Styx River and rushed here.
Carl's expression was calm. His eyes were pure, seemingly containing nothing and yet everything. In a voice only he could hear, he said:
"In the blink of an eye, twenty thousand years have passed here. I never expected civilization to have emerged already. It seems the Big Clock's calculations were not wrong."
