Life Dungeon Game

At that moment, the giant lizard monster jumped back onto the rooftop.

Its empty eyes looked around, as if searching for He Ao's figure.

Finally, it 'looked' in the direction of He'ao, supported its body with its two claws, and a terrifying purple glow gathered on its abdomen, then rippled outwards like waves.

This is an indiscriminate, map-wide attack.

In the instant that radiance swept over him, He Ao felt an immense force tearing at his soul, trying to drag it out of his body and rip it apart.

His body leaned forward, and he fell forward uncontrollably.

He Ao focused his divine sense, concentrating his gaze on the lizard monster.

At this moment, the energy network on the lizard monster's entire body was lit up. It was gathering all its energy in its abdomen and then outputting it indiscriminately.

This skill didn't seem to do much damage to the lizard monster either; as its energy was drained, the energy points in its body shattered one by one.

He stared at the lizard monster's body, lying on the ground, the soul-stirring power constantly acting on him, trying to tear his soul apart.

He has very little control over his body and can hardly stand.

He stared at the monster ahead, feeling his life rapidly slipping away. His body and soul ached as if countless tiny blades were cutting him back and forth.

A pained, grotesque expression involuntarily appeared on his face.

At that moment, it seemed as if a gentle voice whispered in his ear, urging him to give up. He had suffered enough; if he let go now, all the pain would end.

He looked at the monster in front of him, gripped the ground with both hands, and moved his body step by step towards the giant lizard monster.

Every movement he made brought even more intense pain, as if a fine knife was cutting and twisting his body and soul.

But he moved forward little by little, and he was not far from the lizard monster. Although it was slow, he quickly climbed to the front of the lizard monster.

"Huh——"

At this moment, the lizard monster seemed to realize some kind of crisis, but it couldn't see its surroundings, and it seemed unable to make any moves during the release of this ability. It could only urgently mobilize the energy in its body, and an even more powerful radiance burst out from its abdomen.

Heo, who was crawling forward, suddenly stopped. This powerful force instantly ripped a large portion of the soul attached to his body again. His body paused, and the last vestiges of his soul and body...

Connections drive this body.

His body began to move again, inching forward. His movements were so light that they seemed to make no sound. He crawled to the lizard monster's feet.

At this moment, He Ao's soul was almost completely ripped out, and he was finding it extremely difficult to control his body.

At this point, He Ao did not go any further and crawl towards the lizard monster's belly, as that would definitely frighten the lizard monster.

The skill the lizard monster unleashed at this moment was both a danger and an opportunity; the lizard monster's most vital part, its abdomen, was now exposed before him.

He Ao first used his hands to support his upper body, then pulled his legs in to assume a squatting position, and then slowly straightened his upper body.

The lizard monster seemed to sense something; it suddenly contracted its abdomen, and the light dimmed.

But He Ao was right in front of him at that moment. After withdrawing his skill, he could easily strike He Ao with a single claw.

To dodge or to attack.

hide!

In that instant, He Ao keenly grasped this thought amidst countless frantic thoughts.

EasyThink!

He changed the selection of the lizard monster.

attack!

The lizard monster did not retreat; it raised its claws and slammed them down on Heo without hesitation.

But He Ao was faster. He suddenly rolled forward, and as his soul merged back into his body, the combat model that Super Memory had finally completed planned out all the possible directions the monster might attack. His body narrowly dodged the lizard monster's attack and rolled into the lizard monster's belly.

The lizard monster immediately tried to retreat, but it was too late.

The sharp axe blade cleaved open the monster's abdomen, splitting open the energy node that had gathered.

The shimmering energy network suddenly shattered, and the scattered light transformed into surging waves that rippled through his body.

Countless tiny wounds opened up on the lizard monster's body, and blood gushed out.

The surrounding dreamscape of flames receded rapidly, revealing skyscrapers shrouded in the dreamscape—the lizard monster was losing control of the dream.

At this moment, the lizard monster could no longer afford to attack He Ao. Its strength was rapidly waning. It arched its body, gathering all its power in its legs, and leaped towards the direction where the dream was dissipating.

It wants to hide back in its dreams.

However, He'ao was faster; the silver metal wire suddenly swung out and wrapped around the lizard monster's head.

He Ao gripped the metal wire with one hand and the axe handle with the wire attached to it with the other. He turned around abruptly and pulled hard!

"Get back!"

The giant lizard monster that had already leaped out was suddenly pulled back and slammed onto the rooftop.

He walked up to the lizard monster, gripped the metal wire with both hands, and stepped on the lizard monster's head.

Then he focused his divine sense on the metal wire, exerted force, and severed the monster's neck.

Accompanied by the separation of the enormous head from the body.

He let go of her hand and staggered to the ground.

The overdraft of hypermemory, the excessive use of energy, and the injuries sustained in battle have exhausted the last bit of strength from this body.

"Woo——"

At that very moment, that soul-stirring cry resounded once more.

A phantom, humanoid shadow slowly crawled out from the monster's corpse.

He Ao turned his head and looked at the illusory shadow.

Jess, where are you?

Even if they killed me, it wouldn't help.

The shadow grinned, its form gradually fading as it moved step by step toward Heo along the massive corpse.

This is Wells' soul.

It is unknown whether it was because of his exceptionally strong spirit in life that he was able to maintain his soul for a period of time after death.

"The ritual is still ongoing. The gods are returning from their eternal slumber. Even if this time the effect is not good, even if the gods have only returned a small part of their power, as long as this power remains, the great being will eventually be able to descend upon this world again."

He spread his hands and looked at Heo. "Jess, you are no different from me, you know? You are also a person who was bestowed by a great being. The gene serum you took to advance from F level to D level was mixed with the power of a great being."

He approached He Ao step by step, his soul fading little by little.

"Otherwise, why do you think you can so easily glimpse the essence of the world? Otherwise, why do you think you can so easily create something like gene serum? It's all a gift from a great being!"

He pointed at He Ao, laughing loudly, "Your soul is actually more in tune with the Great Being than mine, otherwise why do you think you can so easily command the power of the Great Being and compete with me for control of the dream world?"

He leaned closer and whispered in Heo's ear

"Have you ever quieted down and listened to the whispers of your soul? Those whispers will accompany you throughout your life, and you will eventually become a believer in the great being, His most faithful servant, standing where I now stand."

His lower body was completely illusory, only faint outlines remaining. He chuckled.

"As long as you live, the Great Being will continue to intervene in this world. One day, He will return from His eternal slumber, and at that time, I will meet you again in the Great Being's heavenly kingdom."

Do you believe that your great being is truly a god?

Heo turned to look at Wells's soul and suddenly asked.

"what?"

Wells's fading soul paused for a moment.

He Ao didn't speak, but just sighed softly.

He had seen the mountain-like corpse of the dead war god in a dream within the instance of Rock City, even if it was just in a dream, even if it was just a dead god.

The shock of facing the gods almost drove Heo completely insane at that time.

When Wells first revealed his power, the 'great being' that Heo believed in seemed more like an angel. Now, even though he has revealed the enormous body hidden deep within his mind and displayed power far exceeding that of any angel Heo had ever seen, the 'great being' that Wells worshipped has not yet revealed.

But He Ao still felt something was missing.

It didn't feel like the dead war god he had once looked directly at.

Approaching divinity, but not divinity.

This 'great being' probably also shrouded in some kind of hidden story.

"What do you mean?"

Wells's illusory soul gazed at Heo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after a short but long wait, the system has finally been restored."

At that moment, the television screen on the nearby building began to change, and the host looked excitedly at the camera, "The winner of this Senate election is..."

"Hahahahaha,"

Wells also saw this scene. He took two steps back, and a huge tentacle stretched out from the void and pierced into his soul. His illusory soul quickly began to solidify.

Behind those illusory tentacles, a crack appeared in the silent starry sky, from which countless illusory tentacles stretched out.

"Jace, I've waited for this, the ritual was a success!"

Wells looked at Heo,

"Even if you schemed and plotted, you didn't expect that even without a physical body, a great being could still unleash its power, right? You've missed your last chance. You're out of strength. You can't fight against the power of a great being. You can't kill me anymore. Hahaha, the great being will be resurrected from this world."

"The reason your god saved you is because you are key to maintaining the ritual. Even without a physical body, he needs to sustain your existence and project his power as much as possible before the ritual is complete. Although this ritual was not entirely successful, he is preparing for his next resurrection ritual."

Heo stared at Wells.

"so what,"

Wells scoffed and retorted, "Can you hurt me now? Can you stand against the gods? It's all over, Jess. Can you hear the whispers of the gods in your soul? Soon, you will be just like me, the most loyal servant of the gods."

As the illusory tentacles appeared, the mad thoughts that had been lurking deep within He Ao's soul exploded in an instant.

A distorted and chaotic world unfolded before He'ao's eyes.

Those illusory tentacles also reached out to Heo, attempting to control Heo's soul.

Heo gazed at Wells, whose soul was gradually solidifying, and asked, "Do you want to witness the power of a true god?"
