Chapter 602 163: Are You Going to Kill Me, Friend?_2
Earlier, when Hikamu was blasted into "乂上䒤," He Dong watched clearly from the sidelines.
Although his rank is higher than Hikamu's, He Dong doesn't think his defense is stronger than the Close Guard Sequence.
Moreover, he doesn't dare to bet on whether the middle-aged main combatant's Brocade Bag will be effective. If it works, that's good, but if it doesn't, wouldn't he follow in Hikamu's footsteps?
Though he is one of the fighters carefully selected by the middle-aged main combatant, aware of the other's plan, just like the Collection Clan's Tributor Traveling the World, how many coins can he earn in a month, risking his life? He is not willing.
Thus, almost
Without much thought, he immediately made a decision in his mind.
"I surrender!"
A phrase devoid of dignity and professional ethics, but indeed able to maximize his chances of survival.
"But War Master doesn't like those who surrender voluntarily, so I ask you, miss, to send me off."
He's really something, not wanting to lose even a bit.
But Yun You doesn't mind. Taking down a Tier Four Apprentice Death God without effort is a great thing for her and Mokaka.
So without hesitation, the little girl overcame the restrictions of the "Chaos Gift," and with a flying kick, knocked He Dong off the arena.
"Round twelve, Wu Ming wins! The left main combatant loses a chessman!"
The middle-aged main combatant's face was almost turning green with anger.
He Dong's voluntary surrender not only cost him the battle power of a Tier Four Apprentice Death God but also wasted a precious Brocade Bag.
Now, he only has one Brocade Bag left!
Moreover, the most frustrating thing for him is that he can't retaliate against He Dong. After all, the main combatant's ability to control the chessmen is limited; he can only arrange battles without any punishment measures.
He can only watch helplessly as He Dong slips away with no means to stop him.
"Let me go in the next match."
This time, Shen Ye's voice appeared again in the middle-aged main combatant's ear.
The latter did not respond, merely pondering to himself.
Although Shen Ye is not his "direct subordinate," at least in terms of combat will, this guy is reliable and won't flee the battlefield.
After all, Shen Ye and Hikamu are sworn brothers, and the latter was just killed by Yun You, in a manner close to an "execution." It's impossible for him not to harbor a fire deep inside.
Between him and Yun You, there's no option for reconciliation. Once they meet, it's either life or death.
Yet, the middle-aged main combatant is still not prepared to send Shen Ye into the arena.
"Wait a bit longer, Shen Ye, brother. Your strength is considerable, more suitable for 'finishing touches.'
"I still have two loyal 'chessmen' here; let them exhaust the opponent first."
Seeing the main combatant insist, Shen Ye had no choice but to sigh helplessly.
He truly dislikes taking advantage of others in distress.
To Shen Ye, even if he wants to kill Yun You, it should be in a fair one-on-one match where he defeats her, not by such despicable means, waiting for others to deplete Yun You's stamina before "harvesting."
This never aligns with his way of handling things.
But he has no choice, as chessmen cannot decide when they take to the stage; they can only follow the main combatant's arrangement.
Shen Ye suddenly feels suffocated. He's already a Tier Four Apprentice Death God, a considerable figure in Nest City, yet why... why can't he decide his own fate, being manipulated like a puppet on strings? He can't even choose.
Throughout his life, this frustration of not being able to choose his destiny has occurred countless times.
The last time was a year ago, during that inhumane massacre.
When the slaughter order was transmitted from above to Shen Ye, his instincts and humanity screamed at him, telling him it was wrong, no matter what reason was given, it shouldn't be done.
These executioners represent nothing but sin and cruelty, not justice or reason.
In the future, they will forever be burned by hellfire until the end of their lives.
At that time, Shen Ye could have refused, and at worst, face some economic retaliation. The Death God Organization would at most punish him a bit, surely they wouldn't really kill this Tier Four Apprentice Death God?
But Shen Ye ultimately went along with it all.
He closed his mouth, shut his eyes and conscience, and under duress, chose to become one of the executioners.
Back then, he felt an unprecedented sense of defeat.
"But what can I do? I have no choice."
He sighed deeply, gently shaking his head.
In this era, not everyone has the right to choose their destiny. Even strong individuals like him face various constraints, helplessly going with the flow.
Sometimes, to be honest, he really envied Mokaka, who was relatively more free.
...
Afterward, the middle-aged main combatant successively sent two chessmen, both Tier Four Apprentice Death Gods with strong combat spirits, far surpassing He Dong.
The first Death God is from the Mad Dog Sequence, and through agile movement and incredibly strong physical attributes, managed to close in on Yun You, engaging in a fierce battle with her, repeatedly evading one "Super Heavy" and one "Phantom Blade Man," proving to be a rather troublesome enemy.
In the end, Yun You utilized the Invisible Sequence, using Divine Concealment to cover her form, then employed Divine Extraction to remove his heart valve, causing him a momentary heart attack, barely allowing her to cut off his head.
The second Death God is from the Regulator Sequence, capable of controlling the Gravity Field to some extent.
Yun You's attacks were repeatedly repelled by his Force Field, unable to get close, while from a distance, he produced endless Air Cannons to bombard Yun You.
Though not very powerful, a single shot has power equivalent to a large-caliber howitzer. However, the sheer number of Air Cannons made getting repeatedly hit quite unpleasant.
Thus, after being bombarded unilaterally for almost half a minute, Yun You could no longer bear it and directly activated one of her three trump cards, the Gale Shadow Flowing Form Mecha, forcefully breaking through the Gravity Field and smashing the Regulator's head with a palm.
Taking the opportunity, she also activated the [Eating] ability, absorbing the Blood of the Death God splattered on her palm to replenish stamina.
Just like the rule "the body cannot be sealed," though theoretically combatants cannot restore stamina through abilities, "obtaining energy from natural eating" isn't restricted.
This means, if participants acquire food through some method, some stamina can still be restored.
Hence, Yun You's Eating ability is not restricted, similar to Red Scale, as it is also her inherent skill.
However, the Great Colosseum already made arrangements strictly prohibiting anyone from providing food to participants, so theoretically, warriors can only eat one kind of thing.
Which is the 'flesh' of the enemy.
Unfortunately, after each duel ends, the staff immediately rushes forward to transport the deceased's body, leaving Yun You no chance to eat.
So she can only rely on squeezing the enemies' heads to obtain some blood, to replenish stamina.
A dozen drops of blood went in, her stamina slowly restored up to 70%.
Although unable to return to peak condition, Yun You feels it should be sufficient to handle the remaining three opponents.
However, soon, she realizes her plan to conserve stamina might need adjusting.
Since her next opponent has stepped onto the arena.
And this person...
Is Shen Ye.
