Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 305 Restriction
"Stop him!" the chief military officer roared. The giant puppet immediately changed tactics, slamming its two palms on the ground. The huge body then rose into the air and chased after Mu Xiang at an unbelievable speed.

The enormous hand swept past Zheng Zha, scorched by the black flames, yet it didn't even flinch. This palm left a large crater in the ground where the crimson giant had left its mark, enraging Zheng Zha. The crimson giant roared in return, swinging its two arms like swords and striking down with all four arms, launching itself towards the giant puppet.

The space that had been disturbed by the green light now emitted a sound like shattering glass, which slowed Zheng Zha down. He only managed to leap up about ten meters before his momentum came to a halt.

The swirling green light formed a chain that swept across the top and bottom, and with a single movement, it seemed poised to encircle Zheng Zha.

The ambassador looked down at the crimson giant: "Your opponent is me!"

Mu Xiang had already exited the fourth-tier gene lock; at his current level, unlocking it would be tantamount to insane. The reason he was able to find another way to exit besides victory or exhaustion was because he borrowed Zhang Jie's power.

The ring's function is to store spiritual energy. It came from Feng Yang of the Beiyan Continent team... This ring was a token of love given to him by Farid, but its more practical function is to allow him to activate Farid's storage items as well.

Mu Xiang originally intended to give this to Qi Tengyi, but after their experimentation, they found it wouldn't work. The reason was simple: just as a button battery can power a car key, it can't power the car itself.

Through the energy storage array in the ring's inscription, such a ring can store the mental energy of others and use it in simple situations—such as taking out a storage bag; but Qi Tengyi has to carry the dictionary, so how could he do it with just this little bit of mental energy?

In the battle in "Final Destination 2," Mu Xiang used this ring to trick Zhang Jie. Back in the Main God Space, when researching the fourth-order gene lock, Mu Xiang and Zhang Jie used it again.

Since Zhang Jie was able to forcibly absorb Mu Xiang's berserk consciousness and force Mu Xiang to exit the fourth-order gene lock, could a mental energy storage item achieve a similar effect?

The answer is yes, it's possible, but with this D-grade ring, it can only be used once, regardless of the cost. Before entering the fourth-tier gene lock, Mu Xiang had calculated the opponent's strength and estimated a suitable activation time. After that, he only needed to unleash a massacre, and wait for the ring to unleash Zhang Jie's mental power to awaken Mu Xiang.

Mu Xiang needs to fully unlock the fourth-order gene lock, which is also the inevitable path for any fourth-order gene lock powerhouse; without using the fourth-order gene lock, there is no way to complete oneself; without using the fourth-order gene lock, one cannot even face the berserk consciousness, let alone touch the inner demon... without touching the inner demon, it is impossible to understand the inner demon, and it is impossible to enter the intermediate fourth order.

He was no longer in the fourth-tier gene lock state and was clearly weaker than before. But even in his weakened state, Mu Xiang wasn't afraid of his opponent. Besides, he also had Zheng Zha, who had also entered the fourth tier!

The giant puppet reached below Mu Xiang, and two hands, even larger than Mu Xiang himself, grabbed at him.

Mu Xiang did not flinch at all. With Ji Yue right in front of him, he actually let the two large hands grab him.

The next moment, clear moonlight bloomed in the giant puppet's arms, and the two fleshy hands that glowed green were twisted into flower shapes. Mu Xiang then unleashed a burst of sword light, blocking the green light that the two broken fleshy hands were swinging.

Taking advantage of the momentary clash, Mu Xiang thrust out his blade, but the back of the blade struck the giant puppet's shoulder, causing it to stagger. Mu Xiang then accelerated again, flying towards the statue's hands.

Mu Xiang held a burst of boundless sword energy in his other hand and immediately reached for the mask. Just then, a demonic rune appeared in the void, its shape quite similar to the upside-down head summoned by the chief military officer outside.

The Limitless Sword Qi, powerful enough to severely injure even a legendary expert, vanished without a trace before this demonic rune.

[Tsk...] Mu Xiang had guessed that there would be a backup plan at the place where the mask was stored, and he had even made preparations for energy counteraction. But the situation before him was like this, which made him curse inwardly.

No wonder they only sent this giant puppet without any independent consciousness. It seems they are not worried about me forcibly breaking through the defenses, but rather they want to prevent me from calmly breaking the deadlock.

Its only task is to cause disruption.

A ripple erupted from Mu Xiang's foot, dazzling like golden lightning. The next moment, he stomped hard on the giant puppet's head, sending it plummeting downwards. Even the massive head bore a dented footprint.

The giant puppet did not cry out in pain. Its massive body was falling, but its already shattered hands reached out again. From the broken pieces of flesh, countless branches shot out, forming a net that swept towards Mu Xiang from below.

Mu Xiang glanced at Zheng Zha, who was being besieged by two demigods, and looked at the Asura Battle Body that was getting stronger and stronger. He thought to himself that the balance was not bad, and there was no need to cut him down... Then, a sky full of sword light scattered and cut off the attacking tentacles one by one.

The net formed by countless tentacles shattered, and amidst the extinguished sword light and scattered severed limbs, a half-moon emerged. The next moment, the crescent moon, illuminating the entire space, descended from the sky, cleaving half of the giant puppet's body in two, its power undiminished, before falling back into the battle below.

The chief military officer was exerting all his strength, his hands glowing with green light like blades, about to sever Zheng Zha's arm; at that moment, a chill ran down his spine, and the terrifying threat made him tremble uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to turn around to defend, a green light blade rising from the ground to meet the downward slash head-on.

The ambassador frowned, and a beam of green light shot out, swirling and spreading in the air to form a barrier against the chief military officer's back. Zheng Zha's punch, enveloped in black flames and Asura battle aura, arrived, shattering the barrier and blasting the chief military officer away. Fortunately, the ambassador's timely support ensured that only the chief military officer was impacted, without being touched by the black flames.

"Good teamwork, Zheng Zha!"

A loud laugh accompanied the sonic boom, and Mu Xiang kicked through the air, suddenly appearing behind the ambassador and wielding his knife straight for his back.

Another giant hand came hurtling in; it was the arm of the giant puppet that Mu Xiang had severed. It flung the severed arm out, grabbed the ambassador, and rushed in another direction, avoiding the blow.

The next moment, another burst of blade light erupted from the hand. The giant hand immediately shattered, and the ambassador inside screamed in agony as his body was slashed open with wounds that emitted a blinding green light.

This was the residual force left by Mu Xiang's earlier strike, originally intended for the giant puppet, but unexpectedly it injured the ambassador. Blade light also burst from the remaining parts of the giant puppet's body, rendering it temporarily unable to participate in the battle.

The chief military officer finally returned to defense, unleashing a green light from his palm that grazed past Mu Xiang. Mu Xiang dodged the attack from behind, and in a flash, he was behind the charging chief military officer, kicking him away and sending him hurtling towards Zheng Zha at an absurd speed.

Just kidding, you guys absolutely have to go and beat up Zheng Zha, give him some trouble... otherwise he'll have no target, and I'll be fighting four of us at once.

With a sweeping motion, Ji Yue blocked the path of the giant puppet on the left, then swept a protective green light behind the chief military officer, and finally unleashed a moon blade, aiming straight for the ambassador in the distance.
