Chapter 206: Final Slaughter, I Know His Weakness!
The merciless scorching sun that "Sun" had transformed into flickered once, then erupted with a ring of fire that rippled in place.
The entire plaza was swept in rolling waves of heat. On nearby buildings, the glass was covered in fine cracks, and all kinds of combustible materials, like cloth, had begun to burn.
It was like “Sun’s” fury—furious that Chiyo Eine, that Japanese chick, didn’t leave this final duel opportunity to him.
If he could still talk, he’d probably open all comms and curse nonstop in Tokyo for hours. In that case, Chiyo Eine’s attempt at control would probably be useless.
But now, for some reason, he couldn’t make a single sound. Clearly, he could still howl across all of Tokyo when he turned into a fireball earlier.
Yet now, he could only rage helplessly. This powerful Sun had one major limitation—he couldn’t control his own movements.
Thinking about it, that made sense. If this man-made scorching sun could move freely, then just based on combat power alone, he would definitely shake up the rankings.
“Ha!~ Hahahahaha!”
From a distance, Lu Ce hovered in the air, watching Sun’s performance with perfect clarity, laughing loudly without any of that so-called expert decorum.
In fact, his final plan had always been based on one thing—he knew very well that at the crucial moment, Chiyo Eine would “help” him.First, he was the Strongest Player, and though “Sun” was ridiculously powerful, the flames around him gave off a vibe like he couldn’t sustain that peak state for long.
So from the start, he knew Sun would end up being used by him. And even if Sun realized it, the outcome would be the same. Someone like that would never give up the chance for Perfect Completion.
“Just didn’t expect your trump card to be so damn funny…”
At the moment, Lu Ce was sitting on the head of a Divine Creation, gripping that triangular head tightly with both arms and legs, swaying as he muttered to himself.
“If you could explode or something, that’d probably be pretty insane.”
“Like this…”
Saying that, Lu Ce let go with one hand, fingers pressed together and slowly raised it high into the air, then suddenly spread them open.
Like lighting off fireworks.
Divine Creation: ?
It had been trying to shake Lu Ce off its head for a long time and failed completely—like it was being attacked by a face-hugger.
It thrashed its limbs wildly, smashing toward its own head, but most of its attacks landed on itself. Some brushed against Lu Ce, spraying blood, but he didn’t care at all.
“Sigh, guess it’s confirmed—you’ve got no brains, huh.”
After mocking Sun for so long, the Greed-driven Lu Ce seemed a bit tired and lowered his gaze to the Divine Creation beneath him.
“You’ve gotta aim for the vital spots. This level of skill is a joke, right?”
“Maybe you don’t get it, but yeah, your strength has definitely increased. If more of you guys die, will you evolve into something like that?…”
After wobbling around on its head for a while, he finally twisted it clean off—another one down.
Without missing a beat, he downed a Healing Potion and charged toward the next location.
Even with all his buffs stacked, Lu Ce could feel it—killing these things was starting to take effort again.
“Hey, got any more coordinates?”
Lu Ce tapped his earpiece twice and asked with a smile. But this time, there was no reply for a long while.
Xie Antong lay in the Black Water like a corpse.
She heard “Sin’s” voice, but right now she just didn’t feel like speaking.
She wanted to say, “Now they’ll come after you,” but didn’t have the strength to open her mouth.
Forget it. He’s probably fine.
Over on Chiyo Eine’s side, she could clearly sense that the number of Divine Creations was rapidly decreasing. There had been so many at first, and now they were running low.
But she didn’t care much.
These Divine Creations, due to their strange design, were basically traps in the early game.
Say there were ten of them. Kill one, and the remaining nine would have the combined power of all ten.
The math wasn’t exactly that simple or evenly distributed, but that was the concept.
If you killed until only one remained, that one would possess the power of all the rest combined!
The purpose of the Divine Creation Hunters was never for Players to kill them! The game’s name was “Battle Royale,” not “Brawl Royale.” Of course it had ridiculously broken mechanics.
“Cough, cough.”
Chiyo Eine coughed violently, even spitting up blood. Her body slumped against the tree she had created.
To control the Civilians one last time and guide the Divine Creations, she had burned herself out.
The safest move was to wait until all the Players were dead, then attack the Strongest Player together. But she couldn’t hold on.
She figured she’d use what strength she had left to gang up on “Sin.”
Drained, she sat down in the Black Water and started recovering her energy.
At this moment, all the key figures in Tokyo were down.
Only Lu Ce was still carrying out his final slaughter in this insane city he’d shaped with his own hands.
And in an unremarkable corner, a bald guy was sitting in a taxi, yelling like crazy at the Black Water Man in the front passenger seat.
“It’s just the Strongest Player left now, right?! Sin, right?!”
“Pass a message to Lady Chiyo—I know his weakness, I know it for sure!”
The Black Water Man was frozen in place, not moving an inch.
Chiyo Eine didn’t have the energy left to control every one of her mental constructs.
The bald guy was getting desperate!
“I swear I know! Can you pass the message or not?! If not, just tell me where Lady Chiyo is and I’ll go tell her myself!”
The Black Water Man was silent for a moment, then stiffly turned his head and pointed in a direction.
The bald guy didn’t think twice—he yanked the wheel hard, tires screeching as he sped off.
His eyes were bloodshot. Thinking back to the “humiliation” he’d suffered at the start of the game, he was fired up.
At the very beginning, Lu Ce had stolen his locator device. He’d been too scared back then to resist.
As a result, he was sidelined the whole game. Out of all Tokyo, only a hundred people were chosen to be Escorts—what a rare chance that was!
All because of him…
Strongest Player, huh? You think you’re better than me? I’ll make you pay for that!
…
And elsewhere, after over an hour of pursuit and intense fighting…
Lu Ce had just twisted off the head of the second-to-last Divine Creation.
