I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 597 161: Two-Faced

Until the moment before being blasted by the Dragon Gun, Hikamu was still thinking about turning the tables and killing Yun You through his series of plans and schemes.

Those plans were not mere fantasy but had a real chance of being executed. For instance, this tactic of luring Yun You into close combat was a decision that Hikamu made after careful consideration.

His physical strength wasn't severely depleted, and his Death God rank was higher than Yun You's. In a sneak attack scenario, he absolutely had a chance of winning.

Yun You's physique was smaller than his, which meant he could endure much more damage. The same level of attack might only cause him minor injuries, but if it hit Yun You, it would be fatal for the girl.

A plan almost without flaws, but the only problem was that Yun You wasn't fooled at all.

From the start of this duel until now, she had firmly controlled the entire pace of the battle.

She knew Hikamu too well, understanding that his favorite thing to do was to construct a perfect battle... or rather, a hunt through his so-called calculations.

So now, she used his methods against him, controlled the larger situation from a higher level, and had thoroughly unraveled Hikamu's arrangements.

The Dragon Gun was her only method of ultra-long-range attack in its normal state. Yun You later tested it in a specialized company weapons laboratory; if fired using her internal organs as fuel, the laser temperature of the Dragon Gun could instantly reach a million degrees Celsius and sustain for about three seconds, with an energy output equivalent to the main cannon of a battleship.

And even without using internal organs as fuel, just a dry fire could achieve roughly one-third of its full power.

Moreover, this thing had an advantage that all laser weapons possessed—once a target was locked, there was virtually no chance of dodging unless it was pre-judged.

After all, its travel speed was the speed of light.

"That guy isn't dead yet, damn he's tough."

Suddenly, the "King," who hadn't spoken for a long time, opened his mouth.

Yun You was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood.

The "guy" the King mentioned was clearly referring to Hikamu.

Yun You looked in the direction of the King's voice.

Just as he said, Hikamu, who had taken a solid hit from the Dragon Gun, was still not dead.

His lower body... to be precise, the area below his waist and abdomen had been completely vaporized by the laser, with most of the internal organs in his torso also lost, leaving only his heart and half a lung barely functioning.

But even relying on these two organs, Hikamu stubbornly held onto his life, using his half-vaporized arm to continuously crawl, trying to leave the ring.

"Go kill him, with the most brutal methods."

The King whispered in Yun You's ear, his tone filled with an irresistible allure.

"Those four people, no, not just those four, everyone involved in the massacre, whether they were front-line operatives or support, deserves to die!"

"Kill them in the most bloody and cruel ways, let them pay for their blood debts with blood!"

Listening to the King's whispers, Yun You said nothing, but silently walked step by step to Hikamu's front.

Each step accompanied by the cheers from the entire Supreme Heaven Purification Field, the purest praises and words of encouragement emerged from the mouths of the audience, who all stood up and made "inverted thumbs up" gestures towards the ring, signifying they urged Yun You to quickly act and end the opponent's life.

"Kill me... kill me!"

Seeing that Yun You blocked all his escape routes, the flame of hope in Hikamu's heart was completely extinguished, and immense despair surged through his brain like a tide. Regret mixed with pain, making it temporarily impossible for him to breathe.

He had once made countless people experience despair, and this time, it was finally his turn.

But a Death God is still a Death God... even knowing he was doomed to die, he did not give in, instead, he forcibly turned around, putting on a grim smile.

"Heh, you talk about... replicating my actions... making me experience despair too... portraying yourself as a justicar... hehe..."

Hikamu spat out a mouthful of dirty blood mixed with bits of innards, sneering, "But in the end, aren't you and I essentially the same?"

"If... I'm not mistaken... you're probably... also enjoying the pleasure of seeing me tormented like this, right now?"

"Watching your prey bleed, seeing them squirm on the ground like ants with their antennae ripped off, you must feel an unprecedented thrill. It's a sensation thousands of times more exhilarating than any drug, nothing in the world can compare..."

"Do you feel ashamed? It's normal, such things can never be accepted by human society, but it's our nature, no matter how much you repress it, you can't control it! Ultimately, you'll crave this feeling more and more, until... your brain is completely consumed by desire."

"So now you keep looking for reasons, using flimsy excuses like 'revenge' and 'bringing justice' to cover up your desire to hunt, but it's meaningless, because one day, you'll become just like me..."

"Cough... cough...!"

Hikamu spoke more and more excitedly, his face flushed red. It was unclear whether these were his genuine thoughts or delusions to cover his despair.

"Kill me, use this broken life of mine to bring you more pleasure... that way, even when I'm in Hell, I can laugh at you from that ghostly place, waiting for you to meet the same fate as me!"
