Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 41 Three Flowers Gather at the Top of the Head, Five Qis Return to the Origin! (6k)

"Your Highness Aurora, leave this guy to me."

Hydra took off the hood of his black robe, revealing his pure white hair without a trace of impurities, and his enchanting purple vertical pupils sparkled in the cold wind.

"Change direction and go to the Unfrozen River. There are more important things for you to do."

She patted Aurora's back gently, helping the latter's minor injuries to heal.

Hydra yawned lazily, and a glimmer of light flashed across his vertical pupils.

In the Trinity state, the Eye of Horus is activated with a 100% success rate.

Those who see this text, please admire me. The one standing before you is undoubtedly and absolutely powerful. 】

[Brief comment on Horus: He lost his parents in childhood, his friends in youth, his wife in middle age, and his daughter in old age.

He has been trying to avoid loss all his life, and he has been losing all his life.

The former hero has been completely devoured, leaving only a pitiful shell to be influenced and driven by evil.

He had seen so many people who had rebelled against fate, and the prophecy had been revealed to them long before.

And he already knew where he would die.

"——You evil demons, do not... take a single step across the Unfrozen River!"

Morsi, give him death. 】

"This boss is really powerful. He is probably the most powerful one besides Lao Yuan."

Hydra wanted to kill Elric with a joke as usual, but she found that she couldn't laugh.

It was one thing not having teammates around, but the heaviness that came with that description was another.

Fortunately, if this wave can succeed, the novice world can finally be liberated.

You will become the first player to complete the Hardship level, and only use such scarce resources.

——It’s up to you, Lao Yuan, don’t be led astray.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Hydra's mind.

"Hey, Your Highness, don't even think about continuing to play, or Yuan Qingzhuo will be angry when he comes back."

Aurora, who had once again assumed a fighting stance, pouted in dissatisfaction when she heard this, but her figure still disappeared beside Hydra.

She wanted to go to the bottom of the Unfrozen River, fish out Susie, whose body was possessed by the evil fragments, and then wait for Yuan Qingzhuo to return and kill him.

In the vast and silent wasteland, there were only two people left, staring at each other from a distance.

The warrior stared at the terrifying evil demon not far away, his eyes unwavering.

Hydra's white hair, which originally covered her shoulders, gradually grew longer until it fell to her feet. She could feel a huge will and power being poured into her body.

The body is strong and the soul is bright.

The world that was originally extremely clear suddenly became blurred, as if the outer coat had been taken off, revealing patches of mosaics underneath.

In just a moment, the mosaic was erased by her countless superimposed eyes, allowing her to see the essence hidden underneath.

When the power in myths and legends was mastered by her, the originally invincible Elric seemed to become weaker.

[Remaining time: 10:00]

After once again scanning the introduction given by the Eye of Horus, Hydra suddenly felt that he should say something.

——Just like Sister Hope said, there should be that damn sense of ritual before fighting the final boss.

If there is no bgm, then I will make one myself.

Hydra, who suddenly developed a second-year syndrome, thought so.

Then the agents of the nine-headed giant snake and the hundred-headed giant dragon lowered their eyes, clenched their palms, raised their glasses to the dead warriors, and hummed a long tune:
“The oath was drained by. Death sufficed…”

The vows dried up and died...

Hydra was suddenly glad that he had been playing 2D mobile games. Otherwise, with his pathetic reserve of literary knowledge, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with even a suitable opening line.

Then Sister Hope will laugh at me again.

She smiled, and a wine glass filled with clear wine really appeared in her left hand, while her right hand tightly grasped the huge staff inlaid with countless gorgeous gems.

The weight of fate made Hydra tremble.

Hundreds of phantom figures that looked like humans and dragons were tearing and devouring the pitch-black clouds behind her, and they lowered their heads above the iron-lead sky and hummed in the same low voice.

"Wine on me, let's drink the taste of fate..."

Join me in raising a glass, and let us taste the taste of fate...

The warriors launched a desperate charge against the dragon.

This is the final sense of ceremony.

"Damn, it's making such a big noise. Magic Xiao Deng is so powerful."

Looking at the giant dragon standing upright from afar, Yuan Qingzhuo couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that Teacher Dahai is really hiding something, not just the plane ticket home.

At this moment, he was carefully releasing "Susie's Breath" to make the evil fragment - that is, the eyeball - move continuously towards the Unfrozen River.

After many attempts, Yuan Qingzhuo discovered that the evil fragment was only interested in Susie, and ignored him.

Fortunately, Yuan Qingzhuo has the "Martial Arts Will", a method that also does not follow rules and reasons. Otherwise, as soon as Susie is sensed by the evil demon fragment, it will ignore the spatial distance and merge with Susie.

But within the influence of the martial arts will, no matter if you are a demon or something else...

Sorry, everything has to move according to Yuan Qingzhuo's will, so even the evil demon fragments have to cross these twenty meters to reach Susie.

However, the speed at which it crossed the twenty meters was far inferior to Yuan Qingzhuo's reaction speed.

Moreover, the evil demon fragment was soulless and without intelligence. It only operated according to some instinct. So even if Yuan Qingzhuo repeatedly used Susie as bait, it just followed stupidly.

Susie is now so nervous that she is about to explode.

Although she couldn't see the evil fragments, the calling voices in her mind and the nauseous feeling in her stomach were warning her that the thing was right beside her.

But Susie didn't show it. Even her heartbeat was controlled at a normal speed by her breathing.

Because she didn't want to interfere with Yuan Qingzhuo's judgment.

"To kill two 'Susie's' at the same time."

Yuan Qingzhuo had this idea - the logic was simple, there were two reasons for the destruction of the world.

First, in the vast majority of cases, the demons proliferate due to the demon fragments, and as more and more people know about it, they will become more powerful until they engulf the world.

Second, in the [present], Susie, who controls the demon fragments and sinks to the bottom of the Unfrozen River, will multiply endlessly, but she will not have any impact on the world, she will only kill people.

The dilapidated world that the top team saw when they first entered was actually a change caused by evil demons.

If Susie had the four elements in her hands and sunk into the river at the first opportunity, there would probably be only one more rule-based weird thing in the world that could not be killed and whose scope would become wider and wider.

In the current world line of suffering difficulty, the second cause of the destruction of the world is the cause of the destruction of the world, and in this case...

——As long as Susie is killed, everything will be over.

This is the greatest contribution of Susie's self-sacrifice.

She materialized the invisible and intangible concept of "evil" into a little girl like "Susie" who could be easily killed with a swing of a knife.

But under the influence of the curse of the Unfrozen River, Susie, like Elric, is immortal. If Susie does not accept the curse of the Unfrozen River, it will be impossible for her to successfully contain the evil fragments.

Sealing or containing is meaningless, Susie must be killed.

This becomes a complete vicious circle.

Therefore, General Yuan Qingzhuo gave this task to Aurora.

Because the world she sees is different from everyone else.

And if even Emperor Aurora, who specializes in extreme offensive power, can't do it, then he probably can't do it either.

As for why there were endless Susi's to suppress the proliferation of the evil demon fragments, Yuan Qingzhuo guessed that it was probably because the little thing's willpower was not strong enough and it was a pure side effect.

What has been said above is the completely [simple version]. All you have to do are "stop Elric" and "kill Susie at the bottom of the unfrozen river".

The key is the thing in front of you.

——It has not yet been contained and is still eroding the surrounding area and multiplying the evil eyeballs.

If Yuan Qingzhuo wanted to kill both the [present] and [past] "Susie" at the same time, in order to avoid any unforeseen hidden dangers.

Then we must first materialize the evil fragments.

There were few available candidates, only Susie, Elric, Hydra, and himself.

Among them, Hydra is a player, and the uncertainty is too great, so it is excluded first.

Elric was cursed by the unfrozen river again. He was strong but unfamiliar, so he was eliminated.

As for Susie's words, they have been proven to be successful.
Yuan Qingzhuo asked casually: "Susie, do you want to save this damn world?"

"Uh...it depends on the situation. Maybe."

Susie hesitated.

"What if the price is to put yourself through endless torture?"

"Do not want to."

Susie shook her head without even thinking about it, but she paused for two seconds, took a deep breath and continued, "If the gentleman insists that I do it, I will consider it, but I probably won't do it."

"Unless you force me, sir."

Look, the little thing has a very clear self-awareness. She is not the kind of saintly protagonist who wants to save others when she cannot see the situation clearly. That's good.

So, there is no need to say more about the selection of the remaining people.

"I am great, no need to say more." Yuan Qingzhuo said with emotion, which attracted Susie's puzzled gaze, but he did not make any extra explanations, just continued to pull the evil demon fragments.

In a few minutes, Yuan Qingzhuo and Susie saw the boundary of the unfrozen river again.

The huge shadow of the man standing in the air also discovered them. Hydra's voice came from afar: "Elric has been temporarily sealed by me. He can't escape for several weeks."

Before Yuan Qingzhuo responded, Hydra seemed to have noticed something, so a subtle look appeared in the phantom's eyes.

"Aurora seems to be almost ready to salvage that her. What are you going to do?"

Yuan Qingzhuo knew what Hydra meant.

She could see the demonic fragments not far from the two of them.

She also knew Yuan Qingzhuo's character.

So she knew better what Yuan Qingzhuo was thinking at the moment.

——He didn’t want Susie to merge with the demon fragments and die as a result.

Hydra's fingertips stroked the edge of the scepter, and the slight gentleness in her eyes gradually turned into indifference.

This doesn't work.

This is not okay.

She could give in to everything else and follow the thoughts of the invincible Yuan Qingzhuo...

But this is probably the only way and chance to pass the difficulty of suffering and save the world.

So no.

Hydra is actually not a realist. This can be seen from her love of playing silly and soft card-drawing two-dimensional mobile games and her tendency to suffer from middle school syndrome at critical moments.

But now, in this almost unrepeatable opportunity and situation, she had to be realistic.

Because when the next time comes, it will be very difficult to gain Yuan Qingzhuo's trust, and it will be almost impossible to get the Lantern of Suffering.

What she suspected even more was that Yuan Qingzhuo, a boss that no one had ever encountered since the launch of "Fairy Tale!", was "one-off", or "the only one".

Because Peak was not the first team to enter the novice world of the difficulty of suffering. If any player had met Yuan Qingzhuo before, it would have been impossible for them to keep quiet about it.

Maybe when the next time the peak team is fully prepared and enters the difficult "Burial of Hibiscus King" again, they may not encounter a gatekeeper boss with a hundred hands and thousands of fingers in Susie's house.

Without the Lantern of Misery, it would be almost impossible to deal with countless attacks from Susie.

"Hydra, how many minutes do you have left in your transformed state?"

Yuan Qingzhuo stroked his chin and guessed with interest: "Three minutes, or two minutes? Don't you think it's a bit stupid to use the things I gave you to deal with me?"

"You'll know if it's stupid or not if you try it."

The dragon-like and human-like shadow leaned over to the front of Yuan Qingzhuo. She almost instantly analyzed that the influence range of Yuan Qingzhuo's strange power was twenty meters in diameter.

As long as Susie is dragged away from Yuan Qingzhuo, the evil demon fragment can be integrated with her...

No, no.

Because if Yuan Qingzhuo didn't want Susie to repeat the same mistake and sacrifice herself, then she probably hadn't accepted the curse of the Unfrozen River.

Hydra suddenly realized this key issue. If Susie had not accepted the curse, she might have died before she merged with the evil fragments.

In that case, there would be no point in killing Susie.

Judging from the current situation, the evil fragments that have been following Susie will never give her the opportunity to throw Susie into the unfrozen river.

What's more, the curse must be accepted voluntarily by the person involved. Given Susie's personality, even if she died tragically, she would not be willing to obey her wishes and save the world.

Trouble.

Countless eyes were watching Yuan Qingzhuo who was as calm as ever, and Hydra slightly exerted force on the hand holding the scepter.

Did you even consider the possibility that she might be a traitor?

Is this guy really a martial artist?

"Why, you're not going to do anything?"

Yuan Qingzhuo tilted his head and asked curiously. He took Susie towards the water column rising into the sky.

"Your words are useless to me..." Hydra bared his teeth, and his huge shadow looked very scary. "I advise you to throw Susie out now."

Susie stared at Hydra - Miss Hydra had obviously liked her just like her husband, so why did she want her dead now?

The love is real and can be felt.

Susie thought she and Miss Hydra could become friends.

It seems that it is not possible now.

"You're right, so why don't you kill me quickly and then grab the little thing to clear the level with one click?"

Yuan Qingzhuo thought to himself that it was fortunate that Teacher Dahai was not a fool who could not see the situation clearly, otherwise if she really attacked in this ultimate form, he might not be able to defend against it.

"Because I think you are my friend, and I don't want to kill you unless it is absolutely necessary."

"So if I dunk the little thing in the river and teach her to eat a curse, will you no longer be my friend?"

Yuan Qingzhuo couldn't help laughing. He squinted his eyes and glimpsed Aurora who looked dazed in the distance: "Teacher Dahai, stop being so stubborn. It would be bad if you were cremated and you were left with nothing but an open mouth."

Hydra stared at the remaining thirty seconds in silence.

"Hydra, there is nothing shameful about pursuing success, but people must have a bottom line."

Yuan Qingzhuo said softly, loosening his left hand that had been holding Susie's. He shrugged indifferently: "Call me daddy and I'll take you through."

Hydra was silent, her expression became uncertain, and then her face twitched continuously. She closed her eyes and yelled:
“Dad! Dad! My dear dad! Take me through the level—!”

"Yes, my dear Haier!"

Yuan Qingzhuo laughed happily, stepped into the surging unfrozen river, gladly accepted the so-called curse of immortality, then took out a violet crown from the collection area and put it on his head.

Susie stood there, feeling inexplicably that something bad was about to happen.

Suddenly, the evil demon fragments flashed twenty meters in front of Yuan Qingzhuo like a shark smelling blood.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Qingzhuo knew that his guess was correct. The complex knowledge system of his previous life flashed through his mind in an instant, and he shouted:
“Three flowers gather at the top of the head——!”

The three flowers of spirit, energy and soul that he had already cut clearly appeared above Yuan Qingzhuo's head, and took the so-called curse of the unfrozen river on his behalf.

The power that was surging exponentially was telling Yuan Qingzhuo that the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head might be a path that predecessors had taken, but it was definitely not a dead end.

But it is a smooth road!
Then, the evil fragments also rushed in.

The three originally crystal-clear and bright flowers were instantly drenched in black, and then quickly faded, but Yuan Qingzhuo felt that the power he could control was becoming increasingly powerful.

But an inexplicable whisper began to echo in my mind.

It doesn’t matter, just pretend you didn’t hear it.

But the next moment, the number of whispers suddenly increased, as if ten million devils were grinning in his ears at the same time.

That is the link from the outside in.

With the evil demon fragments as the center, Yuan Qingzhuo was connected to all the "evil demons" in the world that were born from them.

What they see, hear, and feel are all received by Yuan Qingzhuo at the same time.

"No wonder even the little thing couldn't hold out before." Yuan Qingzhuo took a deep breath and couldn't help clenching his teeth: "Which normal person can withstand this thing?"

But it seemed that they discovered that "Sanhua" was not a normal life form, and the fusion of the evil demon fragments was stopped.

Want to rush to another more attractive place.

Ok?
Yuan Qingzhuo looked in that direction and caught a glimpse of Susie who ran out of the range of his will alone.

The moment he saw Susie's expression, Yuan Qingzhuo understood her mood and thoughts, and also understood what she wanted to do.

The little thing was quite brave. It only took him a few seconds to think through the consequences and make a decision.

But how could I be so careless as to give you the opportunity to act out a melodramatic drama, little thing!
"Humph, you're inside my body and you still want to escape?!"

Yuan Qingzhuo grinned grimly, and a huge martial arts will descended, distorting reality and stuffing the evil fragments into the three flowers on the top of his head bit by bit, allowing them to completely merge with the three flowers.

The icy water of the Unfrozen River created huge waves that smashed him to pieces.

"Five Qis Returning to Origin——Melt the damn thing into me!"

Strength and will surged again at this moment. If you open the panel, you can see that Yuan Qingzhuo's four-dimensional attributes are doubling every second.

At the same time, Yuan Qingzhuo used his collection [Old Ancient Witchcraft Fragments]. While he could connect to all the evil spirits in the world, he would be doing a disservice to these big eyes if he didn't copy himself so many times and then kill them all.

Give the whole world a one-click screen clearing!
Desktop Cleaning Master Original Qingzhuo is online!
As for side effects?
——Anyway, the object of use is the five kinds of qi generated in his chest, so what does it have to do with his original purity!
The Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to Origin, which are things that ordinary martial arts masters would find difficult to glimpse in their entire lives, and would be impossible to achieve even if they did, were crossed in an instant by Yuan Qingzhuo, who had figured it out.

why?
because……

The three flowers have already passed through the intestines, and the five qi do not remain in the heart.

What the hell is this Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, what's this Five Qis Converging to the Origin, you're just gathering here to reward me, I've already said I won't walk on a path that has already been walked.

All of these things are just handy tools to store side effects.

Yuan Qingzhuo would like to call it the Ultimate Powerful Sailor Experience Card!

He winked at Susie on the river bank, as if mocking her, or as if patting her on the shoulder and saying, "It's a hundred years too early for you, little thing, to be a hero."

Under the oppression of the boundless martial arts will, even though the evil demon fragments tried to break free several times, they finally merged into one with the three flowers on Yuan Qingzhuo's top, and could no longer be distinguished from each other.

Yuan Qingzhuo raised his hand and aimed it at the center of his eyes.

In this way, everything in his [past] was ready.

leftover,
Just waiting for the moment when Aurora in the [present] can kill Susie who has already died.

Five seconds, ten seconds, one minute...

Until a long, long time later.

Aurora, who had been swinging the sword continuously, seemed to realize something. She threw away the red-soaked blade in her hand, then knelt on the ground and raised her hand with great joy.

"So this is ah……"

She shook her head as if drunk, and murmured softly in a daze,

"My whole life..."
