Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 384 Questioning the Heart
"You haven't experienced the fear of almost losing Lily again, is that your reason to relax?"

“Right now you have the realm and bloodline, but you have no corresponding strength. One day, the danger you face will exceed your actual ability. What will you do then?” The clone Zheng Zha was panting heavily. He and Zheng Zha were almost face to face. “Every moment you relax will make Li’er and your companions more dangerous. Do you want her and them to sleep with you in the boundless darkness?”

Zheng Zha closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his expression had become extremely indifferent.

He touched the bridge of his nose and said with a hint of sarcasm, "No matter how right you are, it can't change the fact that our two teams are locked in a life-or-death struggle... Three of your teammates have already died. From the perspective of the overall battle, you don't seem to have the right to lecture me like this, do you?"

The clone Zheng Zha paused for a moment, then raised his fist: "So what?"

"Don't you think you're contradicting yourself?" Zheng Zha said calmly. "When the two teams face off, we are bound to be enemies... I can destroy your partners and loved ones, and you can destroy mine. The fact is, as the captain, you didn't protect your partners... because you didn't go where you should have gone, but wasted your time on an opponent you could have defeated long ago."

Are you seeking death?

Zheng Zha shook his head: "Who would want to die? Especially since I was rendered unable to exert my strength by some of your methods... I don't admit that I really lost, so I won't accept your lesson."

"Hmm?" A hint of doubt appeared on the face of the clone Zheng Zha.

"Chu Xuan allowed you to do this because you play a greater role here." Zheng Zha touched the bridge of his nose. "Then what about your companions when you're detached from the battlefield?"

A detached voice rang out: "You were right, but I'm surprised you didn't activate the third-order gene lock's thought simulation."

That's what he said, but his tone was completely calm.

Beneath the high platform formed by the Ten Directions Reincarnation Array, the sea of ​​blood surged, and a blood-red human figure rose up, the voice emanating from it. And this enormous human figure was clearly Chu Xuan's appearance.

“If it’s just about absorbing the energy from our collision, that kind of benefit doesn’t seem enough,” Zheng Zha glanced at “Chu Xuan” in the distance. “After all, the people over there can’t threaten Mu Xiang at all.”

"You need me and my clone together... what is your purpose?"

Chu Xuan's voice rang out: "You see it so clearly, but you can't change anything..."

A strange sense of unease made the clone Zheng Zha loosen his grip, and both he and Zheng Zha froze on the spot. It was as if something in the high heavens was watching them, and before that gaze, their skin, bones, and souls were as if they were nothing, as if they had been directly peeled away.

After all that was stripped away, all that remained of the two people before him was the name, or rather, the code name, "Zheng Zha".

Yet, within their consciousness, endless questions surged forth. These weren't questions from others, but rather the amplification of the void within their hearts. These doubts, rarely arising under normal circumstances, now surged forth under external pressure.

"What am I fighting for?" "My hands are already dirty, but what about my heart?"

Before any question could be answered, another would arise. This question, seemingly insignificant amidst the many perplexing questions, even appearing trivial, was enough to completely break down their defenses.

Who exactly is this Li'er we're talking about?

The real clone of Chu Xuan was walking in the air, holding a blood-red sphere in his hand. This sphere was crystal clear, like a crystal ball, but it possessed an extremely strong sense of fluidity… clearly a mass of blood. Within the flowing light and shadow was a miniature Raccoon City; he could look anywhere with ease.

The core of the Netherworld Blood Sea Formation had long been in his hands.

After confirming the status of the two Zheng Zhas, he increased his speed and flew towards a battlefield in the southern part of the city. The power of conviction beneath his feet was operating at extremely high power, so he didn't need to worry about being sniped from below.

Anything that happens within the world, no matter how far-fetched the ideas of external interference, will be reflected to some extent. Conversely, forces outside the world may not follow logic, but when implemented within the world, they must follow logic. Since the author needed the two Zheng Zha to clash at this moment, and for one to win and the other to lose amidst hesitation and confusion, this is how it is reflected.

The clone Chu Xuan wasn't worried about the clone Zheng Zha for two reasons... While the resurrected Loli was indeed copied by the main god according to her memories, the clone Zheng Zha and his own Loli were both products of the demon team's replication, so it would be easy for him to overcome this hurdle. However, it wouldn't be easy for the original Zheng Zha to face this fact directly.

Awakening someone from self-deception might only result in psychological breakdown in the real world, but in the cycle of reincarnation, shaking their mind is hardly better than death itself. Especially when they are still in the stage before overcoming their inner demons…

Another reason is that he, or rather, the "he" above him and "he" need a Zheng Zha with complete power... As for the rest, it doesn't matter. Whether it's recognizing the flaws and preparing in advance to enter the intermediate fourth tier, or acknowledging the flaws and sliding down into one's inner demons, it has nothing to do with power itself.

This is actually the most flexible approach.

“Nochard, those two Central Continent team members’ concealment isn’t without a time limit… When they enter an opening, use the Magic Eye and the Miniature Shrink Bomb to wipe them out.” The clone Chu Xuan ordered, “You will definitely hit them… As for the Central Continent team’s sniper, I will take care of him.”

A massive amount of faith power gathered around him, and a Gauss pistol appeared in his hand, immediately tinged with that inexplicable brilliance. He had finally truly entered the fray... as a fourth-tier combatant.

That's right. With Peng Qiu's level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to bear the power absorbed by the Ten Directions Reincarnation Array. Putting all the overflowing energy into the Netherworld Blood Sea Array would be meaningless... The majority of the power from the collision between the two Zheng Zha was actually transmitted to Chu Xuan through the array core.

He glanced in the direction of Li Xiaoyi and the others, where a blood-red giant shadow stood up, holding a phantom of a celestial sword, and slashed down at a person below.

"Let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve... Your partners haven't even gained a small advantage. Is your strategy too weak, or are you trying to use them to secure victory?" The clone Chu Xuan said calmly, then raised his gun and fired in that direction. "The author certainly needs the Demon Team's perspective, but can you wipe out the Demon Team before everything settles down?"

A rainbow of vibrant, multicolored power of faith pierced the sky, shooting straight towards Mu Xiang. His voice suddenly became fervent:
"I can definitely shoot through Mu Xiang's defense, I definitely can!"
