Chapter 2478 - 1118: Lin Baici, the Human Rights Card (2)
Boom!
The king flew out, crashing against the wall.
Lin Baici charged again, landing another punch!
Smack!
The king caught Lin Baici’s fist.
"You’re stronger than I anticipated."
The king glanced at Lin Baici’s chest: "And more resistant than I expected!"
"But..."
Swish!
The king kicked.
Lin Baici teleported ahead of time, retreating to dodge.
"Even at this level, you can’t beat me!"
The king smiled confidently.
"..."
Lin Baici knew this was a fierce battle, but didn’t expect it to be this difficult.
Great Impression Hand was his trump card, yet it failed this time, even after hitting.
Lin Baici had other powerful Divine Grace abilities, but Great Wish Technique, God’s One Hand, Judgement of Heaven, all these activations required time.
Against someone like Dudek, Lin Baici didn’t dare use them, because he’d definitely be caught in the time gap and killed, even more so against this king with higher combat power.
No chance!
Yet, Lin Baici wasn’t discouraged.
He realized that perhaps because he consumed several gods, his body was exceptionally resilient, with terrifyingly fast recovery.
Just like the chest bones broken by the king, they were almost healed, aside from some stabbing pain, it didn’t affect his movements.
"If one strike can’t kill it, then exhaust it to death!"
Lin Baici spat blood foam.
[Daydreaming!]
[It’ll probably exhaust you to death instead!]
Eater God remarked.
"..."
Lin Baici frowned.
It shouldn’t be!
If it was a sure-death battle, Eater God would definitely warn him against coming, yet it now says he couldn’t exhaust his opponent.
Wait a minute!
Eater God didn’t say he couldn’t kill it!
Definitely not in a direct confrontation.
Lin Baici thought of this, suddenly having a flash of insight.
My hunger!
Ever since entering this royal palace, especially the main hall, Lin Baici felt a constant hunger, causing him to overlook this point.
After all, he thought the hunger was directed at the king.
Because it was god-like, he was eager to consume it.
But now...
Upon closer inspection, the hunger direction wasn’t entirely towards the king, but marked nine o’clock.
Could it be...
There was a stronger god?
No!
If that were the case, he’d definitely be outmatched, Eater God would have told him to escape earlier, so this hunger implies...
That’s the true body over there?
This king in front of him, just a part?
Damn!
Lin Baici felt frustrated, why hadn’t he noticed this earlier?
Bang!
Lin Baici used the king’s punch, intentionally landing in the pool.
He intended to create distance, buy time, find the key to victory.
"Haha, scared?"
The king didn’t know Lin Baici had discovered the abnormality, thinking he retreated which was interpreted as cowardice.
"No worries, everyone feels fear at times, it’s human nature!"
The king revealed an expression of discomfort, sighing heavily.
It recalled the battle before fleeing its homeland!
Even as a hero of its kind, it couldn’t win and had to flee like a stray dog.
Back then, it felt fear and dread!
"Human, I’ll offer you one last bone... olive branch!"
The king looked at Lin Baici, initially intending to say bone, but Lin Baici’s wit and combat power earned its respect, so it changed to olive branch.
"You don’t have to doubt my ulterior motives towards you!"
"As a god, humans are indistinguishable from snakes, insects, ants, pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep in my eyes!"
"I can’t be watching over you all day long!"
"So I need a steward!"
The king wasn’t a foolish god. Since arriving in this world, it had to plant intermediaries, monitoring humans constantly.
Although they currently can’t harm it, what about a thousand or ten thousand years later?
The evolutionary path holds endless possibilities.
Thus the king must plan ahead, ideally locking down the technology tree of human civilization.
"I’ll admit, I’m fond of geniuses. If one day you cease to be exceptional, no longer charming to me, I might kill you!"
The king walked with its hands behind, with assured victory: "But I believe, with your wit and ability, that day won’t come!"
"Besides, being my hunting dog, though lower than me, you’d be one below me, above the masses in your world!"
"I’ll bestow upon you supreme strength!"
"And eternal life!"
The stronger Lin Baici became, the more the king valued him, akin to collecting generals in a Three Kingdoms game.
Lin Baici was the human rights card, without which the gaming experience would plummet.
What?
The possibility of being bitten back by Lin Baici?
If the king lacked the confidence to overpower Lin Baici, it wouldn’t deserve the throne.
"I’ll give you a quarter-hour to consider!"
The king halted, turned, and looked towards the seven o’clock direction: "Before that, I’ll show you my true strength!"
"After hiding for so long, you’ve heard enough?"
The king taunted: "Come out!"
Lin Baici’s brow furrowed in surprise; someone else arrived?
He looked towards the seven o’clock direction.
There’s nothing there, just intricate frescoes, but the next second, Wang Sen walked down from the wall.
Wang Sen, as a member of Dark Erosion, possessed formidable strength. He had a divine taboo item named Divine Coffin, which saved him once from death.
"I can agree to your demand!"
With no sense of justice, Wang Sen wanted to live freely, so he accepted enslaving and slaughtering humans.
"Ha!"
The king sneered.
Wang Sen felt exhilarated at the king’s expression: "Based on strength, I’m stronger than him!"
"Don’t believe it?"
"I can kill him and prove it to you!"
The king examined Wang Sen: "You’re mistaken about one thing!"
"I admire him not for his combat power, otherwise I’d have kept someone stronger than him before!"
The king’s face darkened: "What do you admire about him?"
"Beauty!"
The king stated bluntly.
I love beauty, whether they are beautiful women or handsome men, the world’s beautiful things should belong to me.
"..."
Wang Sen was dumbfounded.
This...
Damn it!
Can’t compete!
Unexpectedly, this god king turned out to be a superficial beauty chaser.
Wang Sen was wrong. Who doesn’t like attractive opposites?
It’s a creature’s instinct!
"God Lin, let’s go together!"
Wang Sen knew the king truly dismissed him, so he immediately tried to ally with Lin Baici.
"Don’t rush, there’s still a rat!"
The king laughed: "Come out?"
Wang Sen and Lin Baici looked left and right.
Crash!
The water surface of a pool suddenly rippled, Dudek floated up from it, then landed on the floor.
"Did you purify the rule contamination in the palace? Or flee on your own?"
Lin Baici queried.
"Apologies, God Lin, there’s nothing I could do for your friends!"
Dudek bowed apologetically.
"Can you kill these two?"
The king taunted, flexing its limbs.
"Can’t kill!"
Lin Baici spoke frankly, one-on-one might create a possibility.
"Now watch me slay these two!"
The king declared, charging at Dudek.
"God Lin, let’s go!"
Wang Sen yelled.
In such a moment, escape isn’t possible, only fighting courageously offers a shred of hope.
Dudek could no longer entertain Lin Baici and Wang Sen; the god king fully unleashed its power, leaving Dudek no choice but to go all out, without any distraction.
Swish!
Wang Sen took the lead, proactively working with Dudek to assault the king, but Lin Baici wasn’t moved by his actions, instead he teleported towards the main door.
"God Lin!"
Wang Sen was infuriated, he never expected Lin Baici to flee at such a crucial point.
Dudek frowned deeply, doubting Lin Baici would flee, yet had no means to verify.
The king’s offense was overwhelming!
"Can you run?"
The king sneered, intending to first take these two heads, hang them under the grape rack, then deal with Lin Baici.
Not submitting?
No matter,
It’s akin to taming a horse, patience is key. If that human quickly submitted, the god king would find it uninteresting.
