"Renew?"
Xiao stood frozen in place, the fear on his face briefly turning into bewilderment.
He glanced down at his hands, then at Chen Mo's undamaged black and red armor, and suddenly all the details of their fight flashed through his mind.
At first, Chen Mo had to actively defend himself against his attacks.
But as the fight progressed, Chen Mo even stopped bothering with defense.
The energy, powerful enough to shatter mountains, did not spread or explode after landing on Chen Mo; instead, it all disappeared into his body.
Xiao's breath caught in his throat for a moment.
"You copied my abilities?"
Don't put it so harshly.
Chen Mo patted his chest and laughed, "Knowledge is the common wealth of all mankind. I just learned a little on the spot."
"Impossible!"
Shaw stared intently at him. "This is a talent unique to Mutants. Even with Blood of Woden, it can only enhance existing abilities!"
"That might be because your teacher isn't teaching well."
Chen Mo raised his right hand, and several dark gold lines appeared on his wrist, which were quickly covered by the black and red substance.
See, I've learned it now!
The Deep was deathly silent.
Looking at the golden lines that were exactly the same as his own, Xiao's last shred of hope vanished completely.
Chen Mo didn't simply withstand his attack; this guy stole his abilities.
The arm that was just torn off wasn't meant to humiliate him, but rather became a sample of Chen Mo's analytical abilities.
Thinking about this, Xiao felt a real chill for the first time.
It wasn't the low temperature brought by the surrounding seawater, but a chill that kept spreading outward from deep within my bones.
We can't win if we fight.
Escape is even more impossible.
Azazel's spatial abilities have fallen into Chen Mo's hands. As long as the dark red smoke appears, no matter whether he escapes to Europe or Americas, Chen Mo can immediately catch up.
Moreover, he doesn't have much energy left.
Continuing the attack will only give Chen Mo more strength.
Xiao forced himself to calm down.
It's not over yet.
As long as you're alive, there's still a chance.
Chen Mo has just gained Energy Absorption, so his skill in using it is definitely not yet proficient. As long as he stops releasing energy and concentrates his strength on defense, Chen Mo will no longer be able to replenish himself from him.
Delaying time.
Find the flaw.
Then, with his last bit of energy, he shattered Chen Mo's brain with a single blow.
Xiao slowly closed his arms, and the originally dazzling golden light on his body quickly dimmed. All the leaked energy was forced back into his body, and the broken golden patterns reconnected, forming a tight defense under his skin.
Chen Mo waited a few seconds.
Why isn't it moving?
Xiao did not answer.
"Out of power?"
Chen Mo stepped forward and earnestly suggested, "I know there's seawater nearby. If all else fails, you could circle around a couple of times and see if you can generate some tidal power."
Xiao still did not attack.
As soon as Chen Mo stepped into the attack range, he immediately raised his arms to protect his chest. Layers of energy accumulated within his body, making him resemble a golden reef sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Chen Mo slammed his fist down.
Bang!
The fist struck Xiao's arm, and the terrifying impact was quickly absorbed by the golden patterns.
Xiao's feet sank into the rock, and his body slid backward for dozens of meters, but he was not obviously injured.
The absorbed kinetic energy was not released, but was immediately replenished into the defense.
Chen Mo's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"You've gotten smarter?"
He reappeared before Shaw, his armored fists raining down repeatedly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The seabed rock formations shook violently.
Xiao maintained a defensive stance throughout, and no matter which direction Chen Mo attacked from, he simply used his arms and body to block the attacks.
Each time he was hit, he absorbed some of the kinetic energy.
The unabsorbable power is dispersed to the surroundings by the outer energy defense. Even if the golden light is cracked, the kinetic energy from the next punch will immediately repair it.
The battle between the two sides has once again reached a stalemate.
Chen Mo kicked Xiao in the side.
The golden defense caved inward, and Xiao's body crashed through the rock layer, stopping several hundred meters away.
He still did not fight back.
"Sure."
Chen Mo followed into the crack and looked at Xiao, who was huddled up in a ball. "He was a berserker just now, and now he's become a punching bag?"
Xiao looked up at him, a cold glint in her eyes.
efficient.
Although Chen Mo can absorb energy, it is impossible to forcibly extract reserves from his body. As long as he does not release it voluntarily, Chen Mo will not gain any benefit.
And every attack from the opponent replenishes his energy reserves.
If this drags on, Chen Mo will eventually reveal his weakness.
A way out has finally appeared.
Xiao regained his balance and put his arms in front of him to protect himself.
"Don't you want my abilities?"
He sneered, "Come and get it."
Chen Mo stopped.
The way you're saying that makes it sound like I didn't take enough.
Xiao's face darkened.
Chen Mo glanced at him, then flexed his wrists.
"I was hoping you'd live a few more minutes so I could practice my new skills."
Black and red substance continuously gushed from his shoulders, and the armor that had been clinging to his body rapidly thickened. Numerous fine lines intersected and connected along his arms, finally converging on his right fist.
The surrounding seawater began to recede.
The hope that had just risen in Xiao's heart instantly froze.
He could feel the energy stored within Chen Mo's body being forced into his right arm. The power he had just released was now entirely fueling Chen Mo's next attack.
"Since you like saving electricity so much..."
Chen Mo took a step forward.
"Then I'll turn it off for you."
The fist landed.
Xiao roared, crossing his arms in front of his chest. All the remaining energy in his body surged out, and his golden defense instantly thickened by dozens of layers.
The next second, the fist collided head-on with the golden light.
Click!
The outermost layer of defense shattered on the spot.
Xiao's pupils contracted sharply as he frantically activated his abilities to absorb the impact, but the power in Chen Mo's fist continued to erupt.
Second layer.
The third layer.
The tenth floor.
The dense golden barrier shattered one after another, unable to hold out for even a single breath.
The black and red fist smashed through Xiao's arms and landed squarely on his chest. The unabsorbed power pierced through his body, blasting a bottomless, enormous hole in the rock behind him.
Xiao opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Chen Mo's fist stopped in front of his chest.
Immediately afterwards, the five fingers spread open.
Pfft!
The black and red palm pierced through flesh and blood, tore open the sternum, and probed into Xiao's chest cavity.
Xiao's body suddenly stiffened.
He could clearly feel that hand gripping his heart.
"Etc..."
Chen Mo didn't give him a chance.
His arm was suddenly pulled backward.
Large amounts of blood mixed with bits of flesh surged into the seawater, and a heart covered with golden patterns was forcibly ripped out of Xiao's chest.
Xiao looked down at his empty chest.
He did not fall.
The body, modified by the Blood of Woden, still relies on energy to sustain life. The golden patterns remaining in its body flicker wildly, and the flesh writhes rapidly, attempting to fill the huge void in its chest.
How is that possible?
Xiao's consciousness was beginning to fade; he bit his tongue to try and stay awake.
The bones closed up again, the blood vessels connected, and a new heart grew rapidly.
Thump!
The newborn's heart beat for the first time.
Chen Mo lowered his head and looked at the old heart in his palm that was still radiating golden light.
"It can regenerate?"
He grinned.
"Then I'll have a few more bites."
Black and red tentacles emerged from between Chen Mo's fingers and instantly pierced his heart.
