Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 136: Divine Body
When Simon heard that Li Nanke wanted to snatch the arm of God, he laughed out loud and lifted the cloak covering his back.

The terrifying hump-like creature spread from Simon's left shoulder and covered his entire back, forcing him to hunch over.

It turned out to be a huge "flower bud" composed of numerous flesh and blood tentacles, with blue crystals growing sporadically on the tentacles. Through the gaps between the entangled tentacles, one could vaguely see a half-blue blurry human figure in the center of the flower bud.

This horror scene gives people the feeling that Simon is using his own flesh and blood as nutrients to support the growth of the flower bud, and that half of the blue figure is constantly absorbing nutrients from flesh and blood and self-element, evolving towards a higher life form.

"I have become one with the God's Arm!"

A large amount of ego elements fell from the sky, rushed together, materialized in Simon's right hand, and condensed into a huge round-headed hammer.

The entire heavy hammer glows azure blue, like the weapon of a legendary god.

He held the hammer with one arm and smashed it to the ground, causing a storm of blue flames!
As the sky shook, the earth rocked, and the entire round tower was on the verge of collapse, Simon's cold words echoed throughout the venue.

"Bow down to your god! Use your death to witness the birth of the gods!"

A battle to the death...is about to begin!
The surging flames were not hot at all, but they made Li Nanke's sense of danger reach its peak. The blue flames seemed like the wrath of a god that could bring death to anyone who touched it.

In an instant, flames burst out and blaze exploded!
The glorious flames filled all vision and occupied all thoughts.

The round-headed sledgehammer blasted through the chaos, dragging a wave of blue flames towards the giant puppet - the war machine.

Inside the cockpit of the war machine, the beating power heart in Pinocchio's chest is the final step in the ceremony of becoming a god!
"Boom!"

The earth rumbled and shook. The giant puppet weighing thousands of pounds raised its fist to resist, but was knocked back dozens of meters. Its metal feet plowed two deep grooves in the ground, and countless pieces of rubble and bricks splashed everywhere.

A huge dent appeared on the iron fist of the war machine, and the place hit by the heavy hammer showed signs of explosion, as if that hammer had detonated ten thousand tons of explosives!

The azure flame clung to the iron fist like a thorn in the flesh. Rust quickly appeared on the metal surface. The entire iron fist was full of pits and pits, rapidly becoming brittle and aged, and constantly shedding pieces of red fragments.

This blue flame seems to be able to control the passage of time, and also seems to be able to absorb the essence and vitality of all things!

Li Nanke knew very well that Simon must be extremely powerful, but he could not imagine that the enemy was so terrifying. Just one hammer could cause considerable damage to the war machine.

As the super BOSS of the hidden node, Simon's powerful strength is simply terrifying!
"Go together!"

Facing an enemy with such terrifying strength, we must not give them the chance to defeat us one by one. Only if the three of us work together and take advantage of the current numerical advantage can we hope to win.

As he gave the order, in an instant, Li Nanke, the Puppet King Romeo, and the super giant puppet war machine all attacked Simon together.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The roaring sound filled the round tower, like a carpet bombing by tens of millions of tons of artillery. The ground cracked and shattered, and huge pieces of rock fragments kept falling from the top of the round tower.

Romeo is the strongest among thousands of puppets and the king who commands all mechanical puppets. There is no need to elaborate on how powerful he is.

The super giant puppet is a war machine created by sacrificing countless special puppets based on a large amount of data from the puppet factory. In terms of strength alone, the war machine can even surpass the champion Victor.

Li Nanke's strength has been improved several times, and now his second-order beast essence "Pain" has been upgraded to the maximum level. His physical strength is so terrifying that even Romeo calls him an alien.

With the combined might of the three, even the complete Laxia was beaten back step by step, unable to fight back. She could only evolve forcefully to stop the enemy at the cost of burning her life.

But now in the battle with Simon, the three of them joined forces, and it was the enemy that had the upper hand... and the enemy had an absolute advantage!

Simon was completely suppressing the three of them in the battle. If it weren't for the fact that Li Nanke's main quality of pain had been upgraded to the maximum level, making him the main core among the three and sharing the pressure with the other two, the situation on his side would have collapsed long ago.

"boom!"

The heavy hammer formed by the condensation of ego elements dragged a wave of blue flames, suddenly blasting away the sickles and giant metal fists attacking from both sides!

A violent wave of flames erupted, burning the mechanical tentacles that tried to sneak attack and wrap around its body into fragments and rust all over the ground.

Then, Simon laughed wildly, and the sledgehammer in his right arm tore through the air and exploded, delivering a devastating blow to Li Nanke!

Li Nanke shouted angrily, and his courage and strength suddenly burst out.

In an instant, the trait of 'Fanatical' was activated.

In his eyes, the whole world became black and white, and the enemy in front of him was the only color.

Li Nanke's entire energy and thoughts were focused on the enemy. His eyes were like burning flames and his gaze was extremely fanatical.

Fierce power filled his whole body, and several kinds of animal qualities made his muscles bulge and his blood vessels and meridians stand out.

He took a big step forward and stepped on the ground, and instead of retreating, he moved forward.

Bricks and stones shattered and flew under his feet, spider-web-like cracks spread, and the entire round tower seemed to tremble under this step.

The power is transferred from the feet to the knees, rushing to the waist and hips, and as the body twists and the arms swing, the strong muscle fibers in the back, chest and abdomen exert force at the same time, and all the terrifying physical strength is mobilized in an instant.

With two muscular arms, all the powerful force is transmitted to the bloody hammer in his hands!
Like a heavy artillery piece being fired, the air exploded!
"Boom!"

The red flames and the blue flame waves hit each other, and the bloody hammer and the self-centered heavy hammer clashed against each other!
Romeo, who had just been swept away by the enemy's attack, widened his mechanical eyes, and felt as if a 10,000-ton bomb had exploded.

When the two men clashed, a shock wave instantly exploded, sweeping across the entire arena.

The blinding light from the waves of flames made everything white in front of one's eyes, and the rumbling explosion made one's head buzz and almost lose all senses.

Romeo felt that if it were him, whether replacing Li Nanke or Simon, he would not be able to withstand this blow. Even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured and disabled under such a terrible blow.

Li Nanke felt a tightness in his chest, his vision went dark, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

He seemed to be a lot shorter, and his calves below the knees were blasted into the ground, deeply embedded in the earth.

Simont was also feeling uncomfortable. A hint of redness appeared on his already pale and ferocious face. He retreated dozens of steps and couldn't keep his body steady.

"It's now!"

Romeo's mechanical eyes suddenly flashed red, and it clearly understood that this was a great opportunity that Li Nanke had gained by sacrificing his injuries.

If they fail to seize such a good opportunity, I'm afraid all three of them will die here today!
Its figure flashed at such a fast speed that the air exploded, and a series of blurry afterimages appeared behind it.

Romeo held the sickle tightly in both hands. Before he arrived, the sharp energy of the sickle had already caused deep cracks in the ground.

No matter how powerful the enemy in front of it is, it has the confidence to cut it in half.

Not only that, Pinocchio in War Machine fought side by side with Li Nanke for a long time and realized faster than Romeo that this was a unique opportunity.

Compared to Romeo, who was extremely fast and had never been harmed by the enemy, the slightly bulky war machine was in a miserable state at this time.

The super-giant puppet was covered in rust. The original silver giant was now covered with blood-like rust marks, the metal body was full of pits and holes, large pieces of steel shell had peeled off, and some of the limb joints had been completely rusted.

Even if a few people could win this battle, the war machine would be on the verge of being scrapped.

Although War Machine is in a very bad condition now, Pinocchio still wants to grasp the only hope in front of him. This is the only hope that the boss has gained by exposing his injuries.

If this attack fails, the three of them will surely be defeated!

Without thinking, he controlled the war machine like a conditioned reflex, and the only remaining mechanical tentacle behind the giant puppet suddenly shot out.

"Whoosh!"

The mechanical tentacles ignored Simon's blue flames and instantly wrapped around the enemy, creating a better opportunity for Romeo to launch a full-strength attack.

Romeo's speed was simply too fast. Simon was still retreating and hadn't even stabilized his body when he flashed in front of the enemy.

Facing an enemy briefly restrained by mechanical tentacles, even if the mechanical tentacles have rapidly aged and shattered under the azure flames, it can only create a brief moment of opportunity for it, which is enough for it to launch a fatal blow!

The cold edge of the blade flashed with a sudden brightness that made it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

The sickle flashed with a sad and swift blade edge, as if tearing through time and space, and slashing out a beam of death light like a waterfall!

Even if the enemy is a god, he cannot withstand its attack with his flesh and blood!
"Ding!" Romeo's heart sank and he almost lost all hope.

The sickle's strike did not bring the feeling of tearing flesh and blood, but was blocked by the enemy's weapon!

The moment the attack came, Simon burned the mechanical tentacles that bound his body and blocked the fatal blow.

Before he could steady himself, he forcibly blocked Romeo's full-strength attack, causing the sledgehammer to tilt and his body to stagger.

Romeo's eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and took a step closer, flipped his wrist, and the sickle blade spun along the long handle of the hammer, cutting off two bloody and thick fingers, and the hammer fell from the enemy's hand.

This is the only result it can achieve.

As it approached, Simon smiled grimly, clenched his right hand, which was missing two fingers, into a huge fist, and punched out fiercely!

Romeo had no way to avoid it, and he flew backwards and fell into a pile of rocks.

The chest made of extraordinary metal collapsed completely, damaging the power heart. It struggled to get up, but fell to the ground instead. Electricity surged throughout its body, its limbs twitched constantly, and it could no longer get up.

"it's all over……"

Romeo was disheartened and unable to move, knowing that he was doomed to failure.

The three of them were already at a disadvantage when fighting the enemy together, and now the war machine was almost scrapped. It was seriously injured and fell to the ground unable to move, having lost all its combat power. It was impossible for it to win.

"I'm sorry, Carlo. I've tried my best..."

It let out a miserable laugh and was about to accept its fate in despair, but suddenly its eyes widened and it tilted its head slightly to look at the fierce figure that leaped high into the sky.

Simon's weapon was knocked down, and before he could pick up his sledgehammer, a fanatical figure suddenly attacked him!

What kind of eyes are those?
Blood was flowing from the corner of Li Nanke's mouth, his clothes were tattered and he was covered with scars, but his eyes were like burning torches.

He seemed to have forgotten everything, with only the enemy in his eyes. All he pursued in his life was just for one goal, which was to kill the enemy!

He can give his life for it, and sacrifice everything for it, just like burning everything to release the last flame.

A raging flame suddenly erupted into the sky, and the red flame filled the vision.

In an instant, the bloody hammer transformed under the scorching flames and turned into a terrifying flaming hammer!

For the first time, fear flashed in Simon's eyes. He didn't understand why this human being, who was obviously injured and exhausted, could still burst out such a powerful and terrifying attack!

Now he only knew that if he didn’t resist this attack with all his strength, he… would definitely die!
Simon roared and clenched his fist to punch forward!

"Boom!"

Like a mushroom cloud, blazing flames swept across the entire place.

The ground cracked into many deep gullies as if there was a major earthquake, and huge rocks fell from the top of the round tower.

A powerful gust of wind swept through, causing Romeo, who was lying on the ground in the distance, to roll over several times and then lie face down on the ground, looking extremely miserable.

Countless gravel and sand splashed in the high temperature, quickly glowed and melted, and when they fell to the ground, they had cooled into irregular crystals.

Romeo twisted his neck hard to turn his head slightly and see the final result clearly.

Simon was seen kneeling on the ground with his body charred black, his head drooping limply, as if he had lost all life.

Li Nanke was still standing, and a blue butterfly landed on his shoulder, flapping its wings continuously, as if whispering something.

His eyelids were drooped, his eyes were dim, and he looked extremely tired, as if he was about to collapse and immediately fainted from weakness.

Romeo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had escaped death.

Although Black Rabbit is sinister and cunning, and has nothing to do with being a good person, if you fight alongside him and stand on the same front with him, he is still a very reliable and powerful companion.

Seeing that the enemy was dead, Pinocchio opened the cockpit door of the war machine and quickly jumped down to support Li Nanke.

But he heard the blue butterfly's anxious tone constantly reminding: "Black Rabbit, Simon is not dead yet, go and kill him quickly to avoid any accidents!"

"Simon can provide his vitality to the divine body that is being nurtured behind him, and the divine body can also feed back Simon's strong vitality."

"It won't be long before he wakes up and recovers."

"Quick! Go kill him!"

Pinocchio was startled, and immediately ran towards the enemy, holding the Thunder Judgment Sword tightly.

He knew that the boss was now exhausted and had no energy to deal with the enemy. Naturally, he could take care of the rest without the boss's instructions.

"Pinocchio, don't kill Simon yet, cut off his limbs and pry open the thing behind him."

Hearing the boss's order, the puppet boy was stunned, but did not ask any questions and immediately followed the boss's order.

"Black Rabbit, what are you doing?"

"If you want the God's Arm, you can get it after you kill Simon completely!"

"Kill Simon first! Hey! Are you listening to me?"

Li Nanke ignored Sophia and watched Pinocchio swipe his sword a few times. In a flash of lightning, he cut off Simon's hands and feet, turning the enemy into a human stick.

The puppet boy swung a few more swords at the huge flower bud behind Simon, cutting off many tentacles and revealing the blue figure gestating in the bud.

The so-called "divine body" is azure blue all over, with a hazy and transparent color like crystal.

The divine body was only half broken, as if a complete person was split from the right shoulder to the left waist and abdomen, with only the upper left body left, and even the head was blurred, twisted and irregular, as if it had not been fully conceived.

The color of its left hand is unique, different from the azure blue of its entire body, and it has the same azure color as the self-crystalline stone.

Compared to the hazy and illusory body, this left arm appears extremely solid, and is the so-called "arm of God".

The divine body was connected to Simon's shoulder and back. The two had the same origin. Simon's serious injury seemed to have also caused severe damage to the divine body. The overall color and luster dimmed a lot, and cracks appeared on the originally smooth crystal body like a mirror.

The puppet boy held a huge sword, aimed it at the god's arm, and looked at Li Nanke, asking whether he wanted to cut down the target.

Li Nanke shook his head, walked slowly to the puppet boy and said, "Pinocchio, do you believe me?"

"Of course, you're my boss."

"Okay, remember to trust me and don't resist."

Li Nanke reached out and touched Pinocchio's head, ruffling the puppet boy's hairstyle into a bird's nest.

Pinocchio nodded in confusion, but saw Li Nanke's eyes become fierce, and he suddenly stretched out his five fingers and grabbed, piercing his metal chest.

With a pinch and a twist of the palm, and then a hard pull, a heart entwined with metal and flesh came out.

The unique and powerful heart that belonged to him, the only one in the world, was beating vigorously in the hands of the person he considered to be the boss.

Pinocchio's vision quickly blurred, his limbs lost strength, and he fell to the ground, losing all consciousness.

His last thought was: I believe you, but... why?
"Carlo!!!"

Romeo's eyes were bloodshot and he let out a heart-wrenching roar.

It couldn't believe it. They were companions fighting side by side just now, but after defeating the enemy, Li Nanke turned around and attacked his companions.
