Above Destiny

Chapter 276 You come and I go
In the countless refracted scenes, Ji Jue saw one figure after another rotating and changing. In the end, the changes came to an abrupt stop. Through the mirror-like phantom light, another gloomy face appeared in front of Ji Jue.

His hair was disheveled, his beard was untidy, and his eyes were bloodshot.

His skin was pale, as if he hadn't been exposed to sunlight for a long time.

The moment he realized that his opponent was so young, he could not hide his contempt. But then, when Ji Jue's name appeared on the projection, his expression froze on his face.

At the same time, Ji Jue also saw his name.

White Sail Workshop——【Helmut Neumann】

Ranked ninth in the series, with 272 points.

After the initial surprise, Helmut showed a hint of uncontrollable ecstasy in his shock.

Staring at him, unbelievable.

Unfortunately, the time was only enough for a brief encounter, and in less than a second, the phantom disappeared without a trace.

"Ji Jue..."

Helmut was already extremely excited. If he could take the top spot in one fell swoop, the points he would get would definitely be enough for him to leap forward and enter the top three!
If he were honest with himself, he would never think of himself as inferior to anyone since he set foot on the Road of Embers.

Even though he was defeated miserably by the stone monster in the bell tower, it was only because of his own negligence. The reason why he signed up for this exam with such great enthusiasm was to prove that he was not inferior to that guy.

If he could beat Ji Jue, wouldn't that indirectly prove that he was superior to Andrei? !
Having said that, he became more alert.

Determined to give it your all without slacking off!

Then, as another ring sounded, he saw it.

Outside his own workshop, a mirror-like phantom gradually walked out of the violent black rain.

The strange armored giant was completely red, as if bathed in flames. The steel beast face was raised, and the scarlet pupils had locked onto his presence.

The murderous intent was ferocious.

……

At the same time, just outside Ji Jue's workshop, Helmut's figure also appeared in his observation.

The only difference was that the expression on that face was different from the shock and hostility before. Now, the expression on that face had become as calm as dead water, without any wavering. A ray of light was floating around the body, erratic and strange.

After just a quick look around, his eyes fell on Ji Jue in the workshop.

Then, a gorgeously decorated mirror appeared out of thin air in his hand, rotating silently and refracting many crystal lights.

boom!
A loud bang suddenly erupted from far away.

The artillery in the jungle that was originally used to drive away the mutants changed direction, completed the lock, and was fired instantly. The bullets pierced through the heavy rain and whistled towards them.

Although the details are unclear, let's try to find out the depth and length.

Then, Ji Jue was stunned.

After the gunshot, Helmut's head exploded on the spot.

Blood gushed out.

From the black rain, the headless corpse fell to the sky.

died?

I originally thought that everyone would fight for three hundred rounds and the outcome would be decided by me in one move, but in the end I just shot them in the head as a greeting?
"What the hell?"

In the breeze from the workshop, Ji Jue couldn't help but straighten his body and stare at the mercury screen in front of him.

But then, it was horrifying...

The sealing standards for the core furnace operating room are the most stringent, with absolute dust and static removal, and isolation between the inside and the outside. How could there be any air leaks?
At that moment, his collar suddenly rolled up, stretched, and hardened, covering him like a large shield. The silent armor beside him suddenly started up and crashed into the source of the wind.

Bang! ! !
In the void, there seemed to be a flash of some strange outline, and sticky liquid dripped onto the ground, leaving behind patches of ink marks.

The ink marks seemed like living things, wriggling and gathering, and then spreading out with a dull sound like a quagmire. The ink color spread, and strange tentacles like octopus extended from it, covering the whole sky and stretching out!

Such a huge and strange monster appeared in the core of Ji Jue's workshop without any warning!

But now, without Ji Jue even having to react, countless mercury shot out from all directions like a rainstorm, crisscrossing and binding him like a rope. Then, the rope changed, and countless sharp blades penetrated from the outside to the inside, and from the inside to the outside!

The stench spread and blood rained down.

The broken limbs fell to the ground and piled up in one place, like a mountain.

But Ji Jue's expression remained indifferent and unwavering.

The interior of the workshop was his sensing range, and the countless mercury was the extension of his limbs. From the instantaneous penetration and tearing just now, he could clearly feel that there was no dissipated spiritual essence, and no blood or soul.

At best, it's just an illusion!

fake!

But the illusion can actually erode reality at this moment...

Is it the blessing of the mirror?

Ji Jue's mind raced, and he waved his hand. Countless mercury blades rose up like a storm, tearing the violent phantom apart again and again. However, among the shattered phantoms, a black dot appeared out of thin air.

The black spot was rapidly expanding, magnifying, and extending, turning into a familiar black garment, and the unfolded black garment actually turned into a space crack!
After entering a too narrow crack, Helmut's body ignored the crushing and contraction of the crack and forced its way out.

Falling to the ground, a bloody mess!
He let countless mercury blades sweep and slash at him, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed it at Ji Jue.

In an instant, his body was pierced by mercury, but in his other hand, the strange mirror began to shake violently, and Ji Jue's face was finally reflected in the originally pitch-black mirror!

At that moment, deathly silence descended. The entire workshop seemed to come to a sudden halt.

In the drowsiness and dizziness, Ji Jue felt suffocated and his face was numb and itchy. When he raised his hand to touch his face, he found that the place where he touched was flat and his face had disappeared without a trace!

And on Helmut's face, his features gradually emerged.

So weird.

Not only that, as the face shifted, it seemed as if he had lost touch with the entire workshop. As the face shifted, the control of the workshop gradually fell into the hands of the other party!
In the dead silence, he couldn't help but want to gasp.

Shock.

There is actually such a strange way of invasion...

Unfortunately, he doesn't even have a mouth now.

If we don't react, the entire workshop might be taken away!
But in these short and crucial three seconds, Ji Jue did nothing. Instead, he took two steps forward, raised his head, trying to make the mirror reflect more clearly, and allowed the other party to take away his identity and face.

Until the mercury blocked and penetrated him, Helmut slowly raised his head, revealing a brand new face.

In a flash, the workshop roared.

Everything fell into the control of the other party!

If the person here was not the craftsman's reflection but Helmut himself, Ji Jue would definitely be able to see his mocking and hideous smile, right?
Likewise, one should not miss the horror and despair that should come from the heart!

To be fair, Ji Jue also sympathized with the other party's situation.

At the same time, I am more curious.

In this world, how could there be someone else like this besides me...

--act recklessly?
Bang!
At that moment, a dull sound suddenly rang out from that suddenly stiff body!
It was like swallowing a bomb voluntarily and burning out its fuse, and then...

Exploded!

"Won!!!"

In another independent simulation, in a heavily guarded workshop, Helmut calculated the time again and again, and then he could no longer hold back his ecstasy and laughed out loud towards the sky.

He estimated the progress of his own mirror at the moment, and could no longer suppress the urge to curl the corners of his mouth.

The victory of this round has been completely grasped in his hands!
There is no other possibility.

Perhaps if it were any other occasion or any other opponent, he might still have some concerns, but in this exam, all the participants, even the stone monster in the clock tower, would never be able to defeat him!

No, it should be said that when he realized the inherent mechanism of this simulated attack and defense, victory was already within his grasp!
After repeated attempts in the last attack and defense, he has determined that in a mirror-simulated attack, the invader can ignore any disguise and hiding and instantly lock onto the opponent's position!

No matter how thick the defense is or how fast you run, it will be of no use.

As long as the host of the workshop is still alive, even if he runs to the ends of the earth, this sense and lock will not be lost!
Because of this, he put all his points and efforts into creating this work with the mechanism, which can decide the victory or defeat of anyone in a single encounter!

His masterpiece, the [Shadow of Nothingness] created with the blessing of the mirror system, can evolve illusions based on the consciousness and perception of the observer. The moment it is perceived, it can directly act on the other party's consciousness regardless of distance, and thus begin to interfere with reality, forming an indispellable nightmare.

While the Shadow of Nothingness is buying time and attracting attention, the [Shadow Conversion Robe] blessed by the Gate of Eternity will transform its own image into a shadow state and pass through the narrow space gap to reach the opponent.

Finally, when the opponent's face was reflected in the [Mirror of Usurpation], the battle was over!

At that time, the craftsmen hiding in the workshop will instantly lose their own unique spiritual verification and many characteristics, and will no longer be able to mobilize the assistance of the workshop. Under the restraint and interference of the phantom shadow, they will not even have time to resist.

No matter how much you struggle, everything will fall into your hands.

Now, the struggle on the other side has probably been settled, right?
All we have to do is defend with all our might, safeguard the fruits of victory, and avoid the tragic end of perishing together with the opponent.

To this end, he had already fully strengthened the defense of the workshop and set up countless traps and defenses around his workshop.

No matter how powerful the opponent is, it is enough to fight him until dawn.

By waiting for the invader to become confused and exhausted by the numerous illusions and counterattacks, you can then attack calmly and destroy the opponent.

I’m afraid that by then, the people on the other side won’t even be able to reach the door of the workshop?
Defeat your opponent, win! Seize the workshop, win!
Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win!
Helmut suppressed the urge to laugh wildly, and tried hard to remain calm, forcibly suppressing the curve at the corners of his mouth.

No, calm down, Helmut! Calm down! It's not over yet!

At the very least, be vigilant.

At this moment, right in front of the workshop high on the mountain top, beyond the cover of countless traps and illusion fog, the invading power armor seemed to be in a daze.

Stand still.

There was no movement at all.

He just held his chin and looked at the scene in front of him.

Think carefully and analyze seriously.

He raised his hand and roughly measured the distance between himself and the workshop.

Finally, he rummaged through the metal backpack on his back, which was several times larger than himself, and took out a bunch of spare parts.

The mercury flowed and changed, hardened and reshaped, and just like that, under Helmut's blank gaze, it was assembled into a... White Tiger twelve-barrel rocket launcher!
"?!" Helmut stared blankly.

For a moment, I was unable to react.

Just like that, in front of Helmut in the projection, the Assault Ox-Horse carried the huge and heavy launcher on its body, squatting and aiming.

Although I don't quite understand what's going on...

Anyway, let’s start with two rounds of salvos of evil-mutated phlogiston rockets to say hello!
