this infinite world

"Hmph...well done."

While Shura Heshen slashed down the "Thunder Cast Sky Sword" in his hand and tore countless insects to pieces, the extremely cool replica of Zheng Zha, who was riding on the back of the Skeleton Nightmare and standing in the void, seemed to sense the huge energy fluctuations coming from the distant universe and withdrew his gaze in that direction.

Although the distance between the two sides was extremely far, and even needed to be calculated in "light years", the replica Zheng Zha still had an expression of understanding, as if a world-shaking explosion had occurred before his eyes: "...I guess I didn't embarrass the Devil Team."

However, before the expression on the replica Zheng Zha's face faded, a calm voice came from beside him, making it impossible for him to maintain his master's demeanor: "You are obviously very pleased with the progress of your teammates, so there is no need to deliberately suppress your feelings."

"...Stop talking nonsense."

The clone Zheng Zha's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he looked at Yi Qi beside him with murderous eyes. At the same time, the flames around his body surged, symbolizing his uneasy mood: "Don't act like you know me very well... What do you know about me?"

"Well, maybe I don't quite understand you, but the strong will always be strong, and the free mind is the witness. A person's strength has nothing to do with the feeling he gives others. Whether he uses 'absolute tyranny' to shape his own power, or 'unbreakable coldness' to forcibly suppress his inner heart, it is the same."

Although he was clearly locked in by the aura of the replica Zheng Zha, Yi Qi just pretended to be indifferent. Not only did the man move casually, he even took out a cucumber from somewhere and ate it while saying, "Eat when you want to eat, sleep when you want to sleep, laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry, don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself... This is the so-called true nature."

"...That's enough."

The clone Zheng Zha was already on the verge of an outburst, but when he heard Yi Qi mention that man, his raging rage instantly vanished, leaving only absurdity.

Indeed, just as Yi Qi said, the man named "Da Yunyang" was the strongest and most terrifying man that the clone Zheng Zha had ever seen. Although the other party claimed that his realm was only the "God of Heaven" equivalent to that of a primary saint, the clone Zheng Zha had no doubt that the other party had far surpassed it and reached an incredible realm...

But such a strong man behaves just like an ordinary uncle next door. He can be happy, frustrated, begged for mercy by his wife, and cough when cooking... But when he gets serious, it's easy for him to overturn an entire plane with a flip of his palm. Even if anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is worried about not doing his best, his aura alone is enough to overwhelm Zheng Zha, a clone at the advanced level of the fourth-order gene lock.

It can be said that Da Yunyang is a collection of contradictions, a man that Zheng Zha, the replica, can never see through. So when Yi Qi mentioned him, Zheng Zha, the replica who had suffered a lot at the hands of Da Yunyang and learned a lot of valuable things, could only choose to remain silent.

"So, how about being frank?"

Seeing that the replica Zheng Zha was speechless, Yi Qi smiled again and said, "Your companions trust you wholeheartedly, so you should also give them the same trust. Even if you don't show it on your face, occasional praise and encouragement will surely become their motivation to move forward."

"Okay, I get it...if it's good for them."

After thinking for a while, the replica Zheng Zha finally nodded in response. As the saying goes, work and rest should be combined. After a slap in the face, you should also give a piece of candy. A little praise really costs nothing.

But when the clone Zheng Zha thought about the members of the Demon Team around him whose strength was improving rapidly but were developing in a strange way in many ways, the slight tenderness in his heart was immediately replaced by indifference, and he glared at Yi Qi fiercely.

After all, whether it's the mind controller who threatens to commit suicide in front of him every day to show his loyalty to the captain, or the hot-blooded idiot who trains his body every day to fill his brain with muscles; or the little boy who is obsessed with showing his "beauty", the innocent foodie who is always a beat slower to react; and the fanatical "meal replacement" fan who looks like a thousand years of black ice but is more dramatic than anyone else in his heart, they are all closely related to this guy who looks serious but is actually the most unserious...

"Eat cucumbers?"

The cloned Zheng Zha glared at him fiercely, but Yi Qi, the "culprit", was totally unaware and just handed over a juicy green cucumber: "It's fresh and tastes good."

——So, why cucumbers? How much does this guy like this vegetable?

"...You keep it for yourself."

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the urge to complain, the clone Zheng Zha waved away the cucumber that Yi Qi handed over, suppressed the three-foot-high flames that had risen around his body, turned his head and looked at the clone Chu Xuan on the other side and said, "Are you still not well? We've wasted enough time."

"The charging of the Donghuang Bell was completed ten minutes ago."

The clone Chu Xuan seemed to be studying something with his head down, and above his head was a simple and solemn exquisite bronze bell. Hearing the clone Zheng Zha's question, the young man who lost to his original body in Resident Evil 2 but was still the most intelligent person in the reincarnation world replied calmly: "I am just studying how strong the adaptability of these Zerg cells infected by the 'Holy Way' is."

"...Then why not just activate it?" The clone Zheng Zha glanced at the container in the other's hand. He didn't know what experiment the clone Chu Xuan had done. The internal space of the container after the space transformation was already filled with chaotic tentacles. Compared with the original body outside, these experimental objects in Chu Xuan's hands were obviously more ferocious and powerful...

"Because... observing your bickering is also part of the 'research'."

The clone Chu Xuan looked at the skeleton nightmare under the clone Zheng Zha's crotch with some regret, clapped his hands, and annihilated the Zerg cells that seemed to have undergone some strange changes. With this action, the small bronze bell above his head began to turn slowly...

The next moment, the bell rang loudly, and the energy spread out like ripples, rolling in all directions.

And under this seemingly ordinary bell sound, there were swarms of insects, void energy, chaos infection, and the ten-sided sky...

…At this point, everything froze and was fixed in place by invisible shackles. …

Roaring, wailing, roaring, wailing, threatening, screaming, cursing—

The terrifying life form that had integrated the entire planetary system's two stars, several planets, and the dark void into one was now struggling in anger.

As the Starship Troopers dimension was barely surviving under the "great purge" of humans, it unexpectedly waited for the arrival of the holy way of the "Overlord", and the Zerg will, which was trapped and ascended to heaven in one day, was completely unable to understand the current situation.

At the very beginning, the Swarm Mind devoured the planetary system containing two stars. In the long-term operation, it even made it independent from the original universe, turning it into its own parasitic host, a completely independent living plane.

In the cognition of the hive mind of the insect swarm, the consciousness of this universe can no longer stop its own assimilation. It only needs to devour all the stars and all the life in it, and finally devour and assimilate the consciousness of the universe. Then, it can sacrifice itself to make the mother body descend, and then it can welcome the arrival of the great master, embrace the blessing engraved in the source of blood since birth, and return to the warmest embrace of the insect hive...

——However, all these beautiful wishes were ruthlessly shattered by two ordinary and inferior creatures who were called "human beings".

How can this be?

The memory engraved deep in its genes constantly told it that life below the "holy" level could not disobey itself. However, whether it was the completely frozen time and space, the countless Zerg guards, or the impregnable independent plane being burned and trampled by the pitch-black flames, all of these caused the Zerg's will to constantly show fallacies and contradictions.

It was incomprehensible and beyond common sense, and what the swarm felt from the dark flame was endless anger and murderous intent. When the swarm will saw the dark figure that looked like a demon, with a tiny body but a strong presence, it understood a fact.

——If I were to be touched by that black flame, I would only face death in the end. And it would be the kind of death that is completely opposite to the Holy Way of Domination, a death in which both the body and the soul are annihilated, a complete death...

"boom!"

Even ants try to survive, let alone the will of the swarm at this moment? Overwhelmed by this killing intent, the instinctive stress of the will of the swarm when it was being hunted to death in the past was aroused... or in other words, the emotions that should not have appeared, which can be regarded as "anger" and "reluctance", triggered the glory of the holy way from outside this plane!

The high-level saints had already combined the four elements into one, and were recognized by the entire multiverse. Therefore, to disobey a high-level saint and deny their holy way is tantamount to disobeying the rules of the multiverse, and rubbing their face and dignity on the ground...

Well, as long as this high-level saint is not a corpse, or as long as he is really unable to defeat him and has to surrender, how can such a thing be tolerated?
"Clap!"

There was a sound like glass breaking, and the sound of illusion exploded. The stagnant time and space of the Donghuang Bell resumed its former flow. The executor of the holy way who had completely transformed into the "master" also used the cause and effect connection in the dark to bring down his own heavenly punishment!

The wrath of the high-level saints means the coming of judgment. In just a moment, an endless torrent of energy, an endless wave of energy. The vitality of 362 trillion insect swarms was instantly drained, turning into insignificant dust in the void. Then, a surging torrent of murderous intent was generated from the gaps in the void, directly distorting reality to determine the life and death of mortals!

Just like the immune system that eliminates allergens through inflammation, the infinite dust and endless void all released a curse that brought death. The resentment born from the root materialized into a scarlet and black source flow that engulfed the entire galaxy within light years, rushing towards the outsiders who dared to invade it, intending to completely wipe out the two enemies before its eyes with the power of the Holy Way that was enough to extinguish the stars!
"How? Even if it is just a glance from a high-level saint from afar in the endless void, it has a destructive power that exceeds the limit of the fourth level."

Watching the terrifying attack coming down from the void, Yi Qi seemed to be completely unconcerned. Not only was his tone leisurely, he even had the leisure to take another bite of the cucumber in his hand: "Do you feel pressured in the face of such an attack?"

"not bad."

Facing the overwhelming pressure like the abyss and the attack that could destroy the galaxy, the reaction of the replica Zheng Zha was just a sneer on his face. Not only that, the flames of violence in his body burned even more fiercely: "But no matter what, I am just a 'false saint' who relies on the power of others."

——A false saint is like an agent who borrows the will of the world to reach the advanced realm of the fourth stage. He is infected with the holy way of a true saint and becomes a puppet of the other party's will. He can also be called a "false saint".

In fact, this was not the first time that the replica Zheng Zha had encountered the so-called "false saint". In the world of "Dragon Knight", after killing King Gobatar, who had a strength close to the fourth-level intermediate level, and his mount, the black dragon, he stepped into the plane called "Abyss" alone... and it was there that he encountered the Abyss Lord, Skeleton Knight, who had a strength of the fourth-level advanced level and was blessed by the will of the abyss.

That was the most difficult battle that the replica Zheng Zha had fought since Resident Evil 2. The Sainthood deprived the life of those who did not possess the Sainthood, just as it was easy for the pen holder outside the painting to kill the people in the painting. Even the strong who had the prototype of the Sainthood could only feel the scouring at the same level, just like a person who fell into the water facing a tsunami, and would drown if he was not careful, which was no different from death in most cases.

It was during that battle that the replica of Zheng Zha survived in a desperate situation, and at the last moment, he initially created the prototype of his ultimate move that he had been thinking about for a long time. He turned himself into a black hole that could attack and defend at the same time, which was both the strongest spear and the strongest shield, and completely swallowed up, crushed, and annihilated the extremely powerful Skeleton Knight and the entire Abyss Plane...

“Although he is still a puppet in the hands of others, a pseudo-saint under the watchful eyes of a high-level saint is no longer an ordinary pseudo-saint.”

The clone Zheng Zha muttered to himself, and the dark calamity flames turned into blazing wings. The skeleton nightmare under his crotch disintegrated by itself, and then turned into a skeleton armor draped over his body. In his hands, the calamity fire that evolved from the Nine Nether Abyss gathered crazily, condensing all the energy between his palms, constantly compressing and collapsing, until the surrounding energy and matter disappeared, and time and space collapsed...

"Well, I'll use you to try this move that I finally mastered after my training—"

"——The end of the original dark universe!" (End of this chapter)
