After Qonas Kilgor finally figured out which Beyonder Pathway the enemy belonged to, Gehrman Sparrow, simultaneously raised his left hand, bending his middle, ring, and little fingers, and extending his index and thumb to form a simple pistol shape.
The index fingers representing the barrel and muzzle swiftly aimed at Qonas Kilgor in mid-air, and their forearms jerked upwards in unison as if due to the recoil of the shot.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Amidst the deafening noise, a series of ethereal white doves appeared beside the " Earl of the Fallen," dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, flying in all directions in a spectacular and aesthetically pleasing display.
This is that " Iron Sheet " pocket watch. The random mutation brought about by the " Concerto of Light and Shadow " turned Air Cannon that could destroy houses into "peace doves" with no power!
Qonas Kilgor, saw this scene unfold, watching the white doves take flight and disappear into the sky, and was not surprised at all.
He had already prepared himself mentally.
He has been suffering from the negative effects of that Sealed Artifact for several years!
Seizing the opportunity, he did not hesitate to raise his hands, which were holding the " Iron Sheet " pocket watch and the strange pistol, and make them collide.
This is " Distortion," a " Distortion " targeting all of the following Gehrman Sparrow.
For Qonas Kilgor, the most troublesome aspect of fighting " Bizarro Sorcerer " is that he can't distinguish whether the enemy in front of him is Marionette or the real body, unless the Marionette is of poor quality.
As a result, he dared not use many of his extraordinary abilities, because they were ineffective against the Marionette.
A range-wide "prohibition" is fine, but a " Deprivation " of a single target is completely meaningless in combat. No matter how much extraordinary ability of Marionette is " Deprivation," it will not affect the puppet itself. In the end, the opponent can simply replace the Marionette to solve the problem.
Based on a similar principle, Qonas Kilgor strategically and temporarily abandoned the "amplification" of the negative effects of the magical items on the Marionette.
Similarly, the " Earl of the Fallen's" " Bestowal " will be ineffective, even less so than " Deprivation." " Deprivation " at least deprives the " Bizarro Sorcerer's " Marionette of its corresponding extraordinary abilities, while the negative status provided by " Bestowal " cannot interfere with the Marionette at all. Whether it is being passive, losing fighting spirit, or being anxious and impatient and only focusing on money, it is meaningless to a Marionette that is essentially dead and has no ability to think or act on its own.
Therefore, Qonas Kilgor decided to first solve the problems of Marionette and ontology identification.
In this regard, others may not have a solution, but a High-Sequence powerhouse through the " Lawyer " pathway certainly doesn't have such concerns.
Everything has rules and follows certain patterns, and these " Lawyer " Demigod are adept at finding loopholes in these rules and exploiting them.
Having already fought against other " Bizarro Sorcerer " and having seriously considered how to handle similar situations afterward, Qonas Kilgor was quite certain that " Distortion " could counter the enemy.
He knew that the " Bizarro Sorcerer " could seamlessly switch between its main body and all its Marionette, and he intended to " Distortion " this so that the " Bizarro Sorcerer " could only Marionette Swap!
In this way, the difficulty for him to distinguish between the real body and the Marionette will be minimized.
Of course, if " Distortion " wasn't limited to the necessary limits and the ranged "Prohibition" had already reached its limit, Qonas Kilgor would certainly have dealt with it in a simpler way, such as limiting " Bizarro Sorcerer " to Marionette Swap, or directly "prohibiting" everyone from Marionette Swap.
Snap!
Qonas Kilgor touched his hands together, holding " Riveir's Desperate Scream " and " Concerto of Light and Shadow " respectively, as if making a movement to compress a large area into a small one.
" The Earl of the Fallen ", " Distortion!"
Without a sound, a red flower tinged with deep shadows appeared in his hand, seemingly intended as a gift to the Gehrman Sparrow in the garden, vineyard, and estate, while those mad adventurers, whether thick or thin, normal or frightening, showed no sign of abnormality.
Qonas Kilgor also encountered a random mutation, a random mutation brought about by the " Concerto of Light and Shadow "!
It changed the " Distortion " effect to summoning a flower from the garden below.
At this moment, the illusory white doves transformed from the Air Cannon had not yet dissipated!
At this moment, the battle between the two Demigod took on a somewhat absurd, comical, and laughable quality.
Of course, neither Gehrman Sparrow nor Qonas Kilgor thinks so, especially the latter, who once again felt a familiar sense of helplessness.
Without pausing, he immediately clasped his palms together again to complete the " Distortion," using quantity to counteract the randomness of the mutation.
However, Gehrman Sparrow was not dead, nor would he abide by the etiquette of taking turns attacking. That large group of crazed adventurers either brandished pistols or aimed at the " Earl of the Fallen " in mid-air with what appeared to be a "death Death Knell " revolver.
At the same time, Qonas Kilgor's heart stirred, and he turned his head slightly to look up. He saw another figure emerge from within the huge red moon that hung silently atop the dark spire.
The figure wore a silk top hat, a black trench coat, and human skin gloves. He gripped a black iron revolver, his face was cold and his features were sharp—it was another Gehrman Sparrow!
He glided down, carrying the red moon on his back, his figure growing larger and clearer, the long, iron-black revolver in his hand already raised, aimed at Qonas Kilgor.
Bang! Bang!
A bullet with alternating transparent and semi-transparent sections was fired from the muzzle, heading straight for Qonas Kilgor.
This is the " Deprivation Bullet," a " Deprivation Bullet " made from the " Worm of Time " left behind by Amon's clone!
Unlike the " Deprivation " through the " Arbiter " approach, it is essentially " Stealing," which allows the target to steal the three extraordinary abilities they have most recently used, in chronological order, for their own use.
However, the " Deprivation " through the " Arbiter " pathway can be directly " Deprivation " once a target is selected. Although the " Deprivation " of this bullet does not necessarily require hitting the enemy to be effective, the opponent must be within a certain range and not leave that area. In other words, one cannot dodge it and can only rely on the level of position and the characteristics of its own Sequence to resist or weaken it. The other can be effectively dodged if it can be detected in advance.
Klein abandoned his sneak attack and stalled for time. On one hand, he wanted to allow Qonas Kilgor to use up all of his "Prohibition" or " Deprivation " abilities on extraordinary abilities that seemed important to him but were not the key to this battle. On the other hand, he was also waiting for the first occurrence of the random mutation, and then, seizing the gap between the two mutations, he would use " Deprivation Bullet " to Stealing Qonas Kilgor's three powerful abilities.
For these two purposes, he even gave the " Death Knell " revolver and the " Creeping Hunger " to the " Winner " Enuni, making him like the real Gehrman Sparrow, rather than Marionette.
From the current perspective, Qonas Kilgor will lose the " Distortion," "chaos," and "magnification."
Bang bang bang bang bang!
The players below, including Gehrman Sparrow, also began firing in unison.
Suddenly, all those Air Cannon, that " Deprivation Bullet," exploded, turning into dazzling fireworks of red, purple, yellow, and green, yet they could not illuminate the deep night.
The " Concerto of Light and Shadow " has once again created a random and unpredictable change!
It produces effects repeatedly, seemingly without pause or interval.
Qonas Kilgor immediately broke into a smile and clapped his hands together.
Suddenly, the young men wearing silk hats and black trench coats, who were under the light of the huge red moon, began to dim, leaving only two who remained in their previous state.
The Earl of the Fallen's " Distortion " has taken effect!
This means that Gehrman Sparrow can only Marionette Swap!
Without pausing, Qonas Kilgor swung his arm and threw the flower he was holding with the "pocket watch" away.
The flower suddenly accelerated, and seemed to gain some unknown weight, shooting towards one of the normal Marionette like a sharp arrow.
This attack was amplified and also had a " Bribe-Weaken " effect!
Boom!
The flower crashed to the ground like a cannonball, causing a violent tremor.
The shockwave it generated lifted up all the normal and abnormal humans around them, tearing them apart or severely injuring them. In particular, the two Marionette that could swap positions with Gehrman Sparrow's main body were turned into pieces of flesh and blood.
Qonas Kilgor remained calm, Distortion and twisting in mid-air while raising " Riveir's Desperate Scream " and aiming it at Gehrman Sparrow, who was descending from the red moon.
At the same time, he quietly prepared a " Bestowal ".
He wants to put his target into a negative state of "lack of fighting spirit"!
Just then, Qonas Kilgor's mind suddenly went blank for a moment, and his thoughts became slightly sluggish.
This... Marionettization... Qonas Kilgor tensed up, realizing his predicament.
He then saw that the Gehrman Sparrow who had descended from the red moon was no longer as far away from him as before; the distance between them was only about a hundred meters.
The other party had unknowingly entered the range where he could Manipulation the " Spirit Body Threads " and remained there for at least three seconds, without him noticing!
" Deceit!"
The " Deceit Bullet " created by Amon's clone!
Just now, when Klein, also known as " the Winner " Enuni, pulled the trigger and fired " Deprivation Bullet," he didn't fire one shot, but two!
This is his method for preventing random mutations.
If the mutation has already occurred once, even if two bullets with a slight interval encounter a similar situation again, only one of them will be affected. After all, it is an intermittent random mutation. It is possible to have it two or three times in a row, but the probability of it happening four or five times in a row is extremely low. Therefore, in multiple attacks, there will definitely be one or more times when the mutation will not occur!
At that time, the firing of the second " Deceit Bullet " was concealed by the volley of shots fired by the Marionette.
This is another reason why Klein let " Winner " Enuni use the " Death Knell " revolver – by relying on his luck!
Ultimately, he successfully " Deceit " Qonas Kilgor, allowing the " Winner," Enuni, to quietly intrude into the opponent's 150-meter safe zone, Manipulation the " Spirit Body Threads," and complete the initial control.
Once this begins, it means that the extraordinary ability is in effect. Since no mutation has occurred, there will be no more mutations!
