Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 419 Signs of Inner Demons
When the two types of psionic energy collide, annihilation occurs simultaneously, from body to spirit… This was a desperate measure after being exposed; the puppet's disguise was erased, leaving only a face identical to Zhan Lan's. The next moment, even this face blurred abruptly, and the girl's figure twisted in the blinding blue light, transforming into the most primal simulated flesh.

The blue light engulfed the Phantom, the members of the Demon Squad, and the Umbrella Corporation building, before transforming into a blinding blue sun north of Raccoon City.

The sound of tens of thousands of reward points being deducted rang out. No one below the fourth rank in the Demon Team survived, and the Central Continent Team would also have to pay the price for these negative points...

Zero gripped the handle of the Gauss sniper rifle tightly, but his body was slowly collapsing, and even the self-healing ability of his troll bloodline could not save him.

A terrifying black hole erupted on the battlefield between the two Zheng Zha, and their fused bodies were destroyed... However, before the bodies were destroyed, they were no longer human. The two almost identical individuals, with their genes collapsing and their minds surging at the same time, transformed into the greatest terror in the world, which even Mu Xiang could not defeat.

Before this relentless, sweeping darkness of the mind, if Mu Xiang is touched, he will only fall into the eruption of his inner demons. At that time, there will only be two monsters left on the battlefield, and no one will survive!
The two heads of Zheng Zha instinctively devoured each other, yet tears streamed down their faces. At the same time, two hideous maws split open on their profiles, roaring for their teammates to kill them.

The Demon Eye unleashed its super-powered power, covering the energy explosion zone with causal points, then erasing the entire causal chain. The two Zheng Zha heads stopped devouring each other at that moment, revealing the same smile.

Brother... Rest in peace!
Zero's consciousness vanished completely at that moment, and the world seemed to fall silent, leaving only Mu Xiang's roar...

A black and white energy beam shot into the sky, annihilating more than half of the Central Continent Team members... Even without the energy super-gathering technology, the clone Chu Xuan still managed to construct the prototype of the Magic Cannon. It might not be able to wipe out the strongest member of the Central Continent Team, but it was enough to severely injure them.

Even if it cost the entire Demon Squad, he did it...

The monster that had been entangled with Mu Xiang could have been called a clone of Zheng Zha just minutes before… but after the Blazing Heart was stripped away, his genes completely collapsed under the influence of the inducer, transforming him into an unstoppable monster. Severely injured by its attack, Zheng Zha used all his energy to protect the Central Continent Team before being completely annihilated in the light of the Magic Cannon.

Mu Xiang roared and tore the clone Zheng Zha in two, and the two halves of the body transformed into new monsters in his hands.

Qi Tengyi stared blankly as Zheng Zha was completely annihilated. This was the complete annihilation of energy; even with Zheng Zha's immortality, there was no chance of survival. He suddenly smiled, and in the realm where time had slowed down, Qi Tengyi turned to look at his still-living teammates.

You've always been the ones protecting me... Now it's my turn to protect you.

Ancient runes, one above the other, merged into the turbulent void and the cracked ground. The upper part represented Li (离) and the lower part Zhen (震). Even Mu Xiang had to temporarily avoid its sharp edge, but this power manifested on Qi Tengyi's body. Then, the most terrifying devouring power transformed into a barrier, protecting everyone behind him and completely enveloping the black and white pillar of light in front of him.

Unfortunately, it will cost you your life...

The terrifying mental strain caused Qi Tengyi's head to explode instantly, and his mangled body was also swallowed up. However, this devouring power seemed to possess intelligence, posing no threat to the Central Continent Team whatsoever... But, after the mental strain spread, Zhan Lan, who was mentally connected to him, also smiled and fell to the ground...

Without the support of a super brain, Liu Xi was ultimately unable to stop Zhao Zhuikong. Her body was pierced by a dagger, and she was thrown out.

"The Rebirth Cross..." Zhao Zhuikong smiled, playing with the blood-stained cross in his hand. "This little trick can't fool Chu Xuan."

Behind him, countless metal wires stretched out a crisscrossing net, completely tearing Zhao Yingkong's body apart... [Did my plan still go wrong...?]

I'm sorry, I still can't be flawless... In front of Chu Xuan, even a single mistake can turn the tide.

These are all avoidable... The excessive use of power that I pointed out should not be used here!

If I'm going to die, it shouldn't be now... It shouldn't be because of my mistake...

The responsibilities I assigned to you should not have been the cause of your deaths... This is my dereliction of duty...

Countless fragmented images flashed before my eyes, without any sequence or order; there were only flaws, regrets, and death.

When the shattered faces overlapped one after another, Mu Xiang could no longer remain calm. Amidst the violent tremors, Mu Xiang opened his eyes, and a burst of intense light shot out from them, blasting the ceiling through.

"Why would I have such a dream..." Mu Xiang sat up, frowned, and glanced at the clock. It was only five in the morning.

It seems like this is the first time he's woken up early... Even before Resident Evil 2, when he was filled with anxiety, he hadn't been woken up by fright. How come this time, after winning, he's having this kind of dream?

Mu Xiang knew that under the Infinite Worldview, once one's strength reached a high level, one would not dream easily, because one's thoughts were already controllable... and dreams were less a construct of thoughts and more a form of information.

"What the hell is this information? This can't be a harbinger." Mu Xiang moved swiftly and grabbed the doorknob, and the ceiling that was about to collapse was repaired.

Mu Xiang decided not to sleep. He got dressed and went to the basement, where he put all the things he had taken from the clone Chu Xuan.

As he went downstairs, Mu Xiang adjusted his glasses, and a most likely possibility came to mind:

"Inner demons... These nightmares are all things I fear. Given my current strength, they are most likely signs of inner demons."

This is both good news and bad news... The good news is that Mu Xiang has finally seen a way to enter the intermediate level of the fourth tier, but the bad news is that the more people who fall into inner demons there are, the more dangerous it is for the Central Continent Team.

Especially since he and Zheng Zha both fell into their inner demons... Zhang Jie could handle two berserk, mindless beginner-level fourth-tier beings; but two near-intermediate-level fourth-tier beings who had fallen into their inner demons were a different story.

“Zhang Jie’s strength still needs to be improved… but he doesn’t need to strengthen anything anymore. The key is to reach a higher level on the basis of 100% performance.” Mu Xiang muttered to himself, “Only in this way can he keep the two of us in check. But his gene lock level can’t be too high, otherwise, if internal and external troubles erupt at the same time and all three of us lose control, our team will really be finished.”
