Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 368 Pennywise: The Most Just Episode in My Life

"Warm..."

The spider's roar sounded in Wen Lie's mind. It could not speak, but used telepathic power.

"Shut up!"

Wen Lie's eyebrows twitched, and the dazzling sword light cut through the space of the cave.

A sticky liquid spurted out from the spider's eye sockets, emitting colorful light like a rainbow.

Its ruby-red eyes looked like crushed tomatoes, flesh and skin hanging from its sockets, and pus trickled down its face.

"Come to think of it, I should thank you. My foundation was a little weak. I didn't expect to be infected, nor did I expect to be able to make further progress. I was probably just a step away from a breakthrough."

A fiery fighting spirit emanated from Wen Lie's body, and the temperature of the cave rose sharply. The rocks melted into a hot and sticky liquid, slowly sliding down the wall.

In an instant, the cave turned into a crater with boiling magma.

"We should avoid fighting among ourselves."

The spider's eyes recovered, and its evil red pupils stared at Wen Lie.

"Oh? Are you scared? That's right, you said I don't know what fear is, I don't know what death is, and that my arrogance and ignorance have made me fearless. What about you? For a long time, you have created pain, fed on pain, and have never experienced pain. Isn't that the same as me? You are afraid of pain, but because you are born strong, you have never experienced the trials and tribulations like me."

The corners of Wen Lie's mouth curled up, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

"You are the most cowardly one, the one who is most afraid of pain and death."

"I am eternal, the Devourer of Worlds."

The spider's angry voice rang in Wen Lie's mind.

Wen Lie scoffed at Spider's remarks.

"I'll make you admit that your last meal was a long time ago."

The spider screamed impatiently and its body twisted. Wen Lie saw its bulging abdomen, which was so large that it almost dragged on the ground.

That's its egg sac. The spider is female, and a pregnant one at that.

"My power is greater than yours. You can't kill Eternity. Even with the help of the turtle, you may not be able to destroy my body. Will the turtle help you? Is it still alive? Is it awake? You can't give a definite answer to these three questions."

"You're in a hurry."

Wen Lie said lightly.

The questions the spider asks are the key to defeating it.

In the original novel of IT, the reason why the protagonists were able to defeat Pennywise was because the creator god turtle had already fallen asleep and died in the mouth of the Death Ray. The turtle gave the protagonists the power to transcend themselves, allowing them to defeat the Death Ray.

However, Wen Lie could not judge whether the turtle was awake, alive, or willing to lend its power to outsiders like them.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the turtle, there is no difference between the Zhongzhou team and the Death Ray. Even since the birth of the Death Ray, the number of humans killed is not as many as the number killed by the Zhongzhou team in one day.

"Hey, dead light, how many people have you killed?"

"A few hundred, maybe a thousand."

"Very good. What about yesterday?"

"???"

The spider saw through Wen Lie's thoughts and played two roles at the same time. Wen Lie's voice and its voice communicated in the cave.

"I eat once every 27 years, and each time I eat no more than ten people. So far, I've only eaten about a thousand. What about you? If you kill them once, that's hundreds of thousands, hundreds of millions... I think the turtle might help me defeat you. What do you think?"

Spider suddenly realized that compared to Wen Lie, he was actually a very kind person.

None of the people it had seen had died at Wen Lie's hands.

It created the town of Derry, and although it treated Derry as a pasture and its residents as lambs, it did give millions or even tens of millions of people a chance to survive.

"You, a butcher, a murderer, a heinous criminal, do you deserve the turtle's help? You killed me indiscriminately, but I killed you to punish evil and uphold justice. So, is the turtle helping you or me?"

The spider raised his head and spoke righteously.

The light of righteousness shines on the spider. The ferocious-looking spider appears majestic and majestic at this moment, and its temperament becomes upright and bright.

"……Oh shit!"

Wen Lie's mouth twitched a few times, and he was unable to refute Spider's words.

The most unexpected thing happened, Pennywise competed with him to see who had higher morals, and it seemed that he had never won the competition.

If the turtle really woke up, and Death Light shouted, and talked about some chivalry with the evil demons, and called on the turtle to beat him together, the turtle might really help Death Light.

Of course, what is more likely is that the lazy turtle was indifferent and did not help the dead, nor did he help him.

The death ray has been coming to Earth for so many years, and the turtle has only helped the protagonists of the Loser Club.

"If you want to fight, just fight. Why are you whining? Do you think I care whether the turtle will help me? Do you think I thought about whether I could win when I wanted to attack you?"

"..."

This time it was Si Guang's turn to be speechless.

It could see through people's hearts and naturally knew that when Wen Lie was about to take action, he not only did not consider whether there was anyone who could help him, but also did not consider the chances of winning. He was a simple-minded person. No! Not a simple-minded person, but a narrow-minded and reckless man.

In the past, he'd considered the odds of winning, but now that his strength has greatly increased, he'd immediately pay back a thousandfold if he suffered a loss, without even considering the odds... He thought he could live, and even if he died, he could be resurrected? Damn it! Why wasn't he the same person in the original novel, but instead a person confined to an infinite worldview?

The spider gnashed its teeth. When Wen Lie made a move, it panicked even more and immediately shouted, "Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Zhao Yingkong, Chu Xuan...are you also ignoring them? A fight between us is enough to destroy the planet, and your teammates will also die in the aftermath of our battle."

"No, according to the intelligence I've obtained, your power lies in the spirit. If nothing unexpected happens, our battle will likely be on a spiritual level. You'll throw me into your true form, hurling me into the ray of death, and using your true form to disintegrate me. I'm certain that your Earthly form isn't strong enough to fight me head-on, otherwise you wouldn't need to use illusions to deal with me. You know full well that after overcoming my inner demons, my mental will is indestructible, yet you still try to exploit a loophole and keep trying to persuade me to compromise. This shows that you have no confidence in defeating me."

Wen Lie raised his right hand, and layers of golden ripples appeared in his palm, and the light energy that was no less than a flare rose and fell in his palm.

"Don't forget, I have the power to interfere with reality. Even when under the influence of the turtle, I can still create horrific natural disasters on the ground. Wen Lie, you know that before we can decide the winner, I will kill all your teammates. There is such a possibility."

Corona Palm - Sunquake.

Wen Lie struck out with his palm while the spider was still negotiating with him.

His figure quietly appeared in front of the spider, with his right palm covering the spider's head.

A solar flare occurred in Wen Lie's palm. The plasma fell rapidly, and the moment it fell back into his palm, the vibration generated was violently amplified. The power erupted at zero distance was enough to destroy all defenses.

"Oh!"

The spider's head exploded, and the sticky brain matter evaporated due to the heat of the sun shock before it could spray out of its head.

At the same time, a tangible force was released from the spider's body. The impact of the two forces caused Wen Lie's body to be thrown backwards, crashing into the cave wall, leaving a large, human-shaped hole in the wall. "You've already tried. You can't kill me quickly. Continuing to fight will do us no good."

The spider shook its body and its head grew back, as if time was going back.

The pair of scarlet eyes looked at the human-shaped hole on the cave wall, transmitting a telepathic communication to the man inside.

"Okay, our showdown will be postponed."

A nonchalant voice sounded, and Wen Lie walked out from the hole in the human shape, with a calm expression and spotless body.

"Strange humans."

Spider discovered that Wen Lie changed his mind very quickly and calmly, with basically no hesitation. Instead, he was still thinking about letting it deal with the other members of the Zhongzhou team, letting his teammates accept the test of their inner demons and seek opportunities to break through their inner demons.

If you can't kill it, use it.

No, using it to help his teammates overcome their inner demons was his idea from the beginning, and he didn't know whether his teammates could overcome their inner demons, just like he didn't know whether he could defeat it.

He just thought about it, decided on it, and did it.

"Scary guy."

Spider sighed from the bottom of his heart.

The lives of his men were millions of times more valuable, and even their spirits were so elusive.

"See you in a few days. I hope that by then, you will be brave enough to fight me head-on."

Wen Lie waved to this monster, whose true form was at least a saint, and said something to oppose Tian Gang, then walked back the way he came without looking back.

"..."

The spider was just speechless.

Back on the ground, the morning sun shone on Wen Lie's face. He raised his head, looked at the sky, took a deep breath, and exhaled.

"It's really dangerous."

Wen Lie rubbed his brows, and a tired look appeared on his unscrupulous face.

This psychological warfare is really difficult to fight.

"The bottle is empty. We need to go back quickly."

At the stream in the forest, Eddie took another sip from the medicine bottle, only to find that the potion inside was empty.

He couldn't help but get nervous. He didn't prepare the spray in time and it ran out. This phenomenon caused his body to instinctively produce the same negative reaction as his emotions.

"Don't be nervous, Eddie. Let's go back first."

Billy also became a little nervous and stammered.

He supported Eddie and was about to leave the forest.

The two of them walked hurriedly on the muddy road in the forest. Although this was not the first time such an emergency had happened, every time it happened, the two children would feel uneasy.

"Hey, kid, what's wrong with him?"

Suddenly, a voice came over, as if greeting them.

Billy and Eddie looked around and saw several figures appearing on the road above the forest path ahead.

People on the road were walking towards them, and Billy was surprised to find that they were foreigners, Orientals he had only seen on TV.

"I, I, I, he, he, he..."

Billy, who already stuttered, stuttered even more when he saw the unfamiliar members of the Zhongzhou team. He couldn't say a complete sentence and his expression became very anxious.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous."

Zhan Lan stepped forward to comfort Billy. She used some mental techniques to calm Billy down.

Billy was stunned. He was surprised to find that being comforted by a strange adult woman actually relieved his tension. What was going on? This was just a stranger.

A little confused, Billy said stiffly: "My name is Billy, he, he, his name is Eddie, he has asthma, we, we are out of medicine, he needs an inhaler."

Although he still stuttered a little, Billy said a few words within ten seconds. Even Billy himself found it unbelievable that he could speak so fluently to strangers.

Eddie also looked at Billy in surprise. This feeling of surprise replaced the panic and uneasiness, making his demeanor a little better than before.

"Asthma? I'm a doctor, let me take a look."

Cheng Xiao volunteered.

In the real world, he certainly cannot cure asthma, at least without medication and treatment equipment.

However, with his current level of internal strength, he can relieve not only asthma but even cancer.

After all, true energy is a healing energy comparable to the light of the mind.

Eddie looked at Cheng Xiao blankly, subconsciously wanting to refuse.

No one would believe that a person who suddenly appeared on the street, or no, from the side of the forest, was some miracle doctor who could cure asthma.

In Eddie's opinion, these people who suddenly appeared seemed a little suspicious. No foreigners had come to Delhi for many years. At least in the ten years that he was aware of, he had never seen a foreigner.

"It doesn't cost any money, so you might as well trust it."

Cheng Xiao spread his hands and said with a smile: "Look, I don't have a knife in my hand, nor do I have any medicine. It won't have a worse effect on your body, and it won't delay you for much time."

Eddie glanced at Billy, who hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly, "There's nothing wrong with trying it. Just try it. We need to go to the pharmacy right away."

Because of Zhan Lan's mental comfort just now, Billy subconsciously felt a little close to Cheng Xiao and Zhan Lan, and did not firmly reject Cheng Xiao's proposal.

Of course, Zhan Lan's comfort is not a very strong mental interference. This is to prevent the protagonists' spirits from being affected and making mistakes when fighting against Pennywise.

Another reason why Billy agreed was that he didn't dare to disobey the adults.

With so many adults here, it’s better to listen to what they have to say if they don’t have any bad intentions.

Billy agreed, and Eddie didn't have the courage to refuse, so he stood cautiously in front of Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao gently pressed his palm on Eddie's chest, transferring his true energy into Eddie's body to sort out the unsettled energy in Eddie's body.

The power of the true energy was effective immediately, and Eddie's demeanor improved visibly.

Billy, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but open his eyes wide with a look of shock.
