Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

After saying that, Jiang Ming retreated to a place not far behind Youlandel, and at the same time, a faint blue halo burst out from under Jiang Ming's feet. Suddenly, starting from where he was, layers of ice mist gradually spread out, the temperature dropped rapidly, and the entire surface of the Thames instantly condensed into ice, and it was extremely solid.

After Jiang Ming finished doing all this, he reminded Youlandel.

"That's all I can do. Don't worry about affecting the Key of God. This guy exists to protect it. Of course, I'll take care of it if anything happens. Just go ahead and do your best."

"Thank you!"

After Yulandel nodded solemnly, the Eternal Heler appeared in her hand, and the Moon Soul Armor was fully released. She seemed to have turned into a silver bullet, and in a moment she rushed to the armed puppet, pointing her lance directly at the opponent's chest!

clang!

With just a crisp collision sound, Yulandel's powerful attack was blocked by the opponent so easily. No, it seemed not so easy.

Perhaps because it had no emotions, others could not tell its current condition from its expression. However, from the fact that the armed puppet was slightly bent over, Jiang Ming could tell that it had probably gotten serious in order to block Yulandel's fatal blow.

Jiang Ming put his left hand behind his back, and the huge amount of collapse energy gradually condensed and compressed into a small dark blue thunder ball in his hand, emitting bursts of electric arcs. Jiang Ming was ready to take it down at any time. If Yulandel asked him to hold him accountable later, he would just give her training for every day he spent at the Savior Headquarters.

At the same time, the armed puppet, which retreated with the help of the reaction force of Yulandel's attack, quickly injected the Honkai energy into the Pseudo-Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Perhaps it was because the opponent was too short, and Yulandel couldn't get used to such a battle for a while. If it was an ordinary Honkai beast or a human, Yulandel would probably be able to deal with it with just one punch.

But facing this powerful, extremely fast, and relatively short enemy, it is difficult to hit him. Judging from the data, this is only one percent of Kevin's strength...

Jiang Ming: “….”

"drink!"

Yulandel activated the thrusters of her armor and rushed towards the armed puppet, stabbing it again with the lance in her hand.

The armed puppet seemed to have anticipated this and dodged in an instant when the gun tip was just a millimeter away from its head, then smashed the gun away with its left fist, and the heavenly fire in its hand, emitting blazing flames, slashed towards Yulandel's slender waist.

clang!

There was another crisp blocking sound. With the armor's performance fully unleashed, Yulandel summoned the defensive hero Queen to block the fatal blow. Immediately afterwards, the attacking hero King held a heavy sword in his right hand and chopped down heavily as if there was no resistance.

However, just when everyone thought that the armed puppet would definitely avoid the attack, it did not dodge or evade, but directly took it with its left hand. Just as Yulandel was surprised at its body hardness, its figure flashed, and it suddenly jumped up and kicked Yulandel.

Although Yulandel raised her left arm in time to defend herself, she was still knocked away by the force of the attack.

"Strength, speed, defense, these are far beyond the capabilities of even some emperor-level Honkai beasts. I didn't expect such a thing to exist. Interesting..."

Yulandel was not frustrated because her attack had no effect. Instead, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a hint of excitement arose in her heart.

In addition to various basic trainings, she would try her best to ask Jiang Ming to come over and practice with her. In order to fulfill this request, she even agreed to taste the desserts prepared by the other party and have a weekend off every weekend.

But despite this, she would often have a headache when practicing with Jiang Ming because of his body movements. If Jiang Ming had not used the Ksitigarbha Soul to simulate various opponents for Youlandel in the simulation training room, she would have been angry.

Now that she has finally met an equally powerful opponent again, how can she not be excited?

She injected strength into her legs and flew forward again. The armed puppet seemed to realize that it would not stop until its opponent was completely eliminated, so it faced it head-on.

When the distance between the two was less than five meters, King raised the heavy sword in his hand and swung it at it. At the moment when it was about to hit it, the armed puppet quickly jumped up. With the injection of huge Honkai energy, the body of the Skyfire Sword burst into blazing flames. It changed to holding the sword with both hands and slashed at Yulandel with all its strength. A huge flaming sword energy slashed out!

Queen stepped in front of her in time and used the shield in her hand to block the sword energy, but the next second, after the flames dissipated, the armed puppet had already appeared in front of Queen, and swung the Heavenly Fire Sword again to slash down. With a "click", the huge heroic soul was immediately cut in half along with the hard shield, and turned into particles and disappeared.

Seeing this, the armed puppet immediately took advantage of the situation and pursued. Just as Yulandel controlled King to swing the heavy sword at him again, its body suddenly overturned the laws of physics and instantly came behind Yulandel in its floating state.

Just as the armed puppet was about to chop down with a sword, Yulandel seemed to have anticipated it and let King hold the sword just right to block the opponent's Heavenly Fire Judgment. Then, the Honkai energy was condensed in her right hand, and she punched the armed puppet.

boom!

Right in the chest!

The armed puppet was instantly knocked away by this terrifying force, and deep marks were torn on its body on the ice. If it hadn't inserted the sky fire into the ice to cushion it, it would have been knocked directly out of the entire lake.

"..."

Jiang Ming watched all this silently. As for the unreasonable behavior of the armed puppet just now, he speculated that the other party borrowed a small amount of the power of the Second God Key to perform a short-distance space teleportation. As for why Yulandel's reaction was so quick...

In order to ensure that he would not get hurt, Jiang Ming decided that he should not rely on his body skills to teleport behind the opponent and launch a sneak attack during his sparring with Yulandel in the future.

At this moment, the armed puppet seemed to be aware of something. Its emotionless and cold eyes narrowed slightly, and it kicked the ice with determination. Immediately, cracks appeared on the solid ice surface. It attacked Yulandel again at a speed far exceeding that of before, and its attack was as sharp as lightning.

However, because the lance in Yulandel's hand was too long and the armed puppet was too aggressive, she was unable to take it down for a while, and she couldn't even launch an effective attack. She had to defend herself.

Seeing this, Youlandel frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

"What's going on? Why does it feel like its attack is much messier than before, as if... it's trying to end the battle quickly..."

Soon, her guess was verified. Just when Yulandel finally seized the opportunity and stabbed it with all her strength, it did not dodge or evade and took it head-on with its weapon.

Despite this, the body of the armed puppet still shook and flew backwards, and the point of its fall was exactly the location of the Second God's Key!

Perhaps it consumed too much Honkai energy in the battle with Yulandel, and there was no remaining Honkai energy in its body to support it to continue fighting, so it decided to use the Second God Key to open the passage to the Quantum Sea and sink into the sea with it.

Yulandel seemed to know what it was thinking, but it was too late to rush over now. However, Jiang Ming, who was standing aside and watching, would not do as it wished. He swung his hand and a deep blue lightning ball shot out at an astonishing speed, and in a flash it appeared in front of the armed puppet.

The sudden scene also made the armed puppet stunned for a moment. It reacted quickly to block the sword. What was amazing was that the lightning ball did not explode quickly when it touched the sword. Instead, a huge impact force appeared and knocked the armed puppet away.

As the armed puppet gradually left the range of the Second God Key due to the impact, Jiang Ming shouted softly: "Explode!"

boom!

The condensed thunder ball exploded instantly, and the scattered lightning quickly reacted with the ice on the river surface, producing a large amount of smoke. After the smoke dissipated, all that was left lying on the ice was the armed puppet with its energy exhausted and a broken Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire.

After Jiang Ming recovered the armed puppet, he prepared to bring the huge locomotive in front of him back to Tianming with Youlandel. But just as Jiang Ming touched it, something different surged into his mind, shocking him so much that he opened his eyes wide instantly.

It was not until Yulandel noticed something was wrong and shook his body that he reacted.

"what..."

"what happened?"

"...No, it's okay...I'm just a little surprised..."

Jiang Ming swallowed gently to relieve his nervousness.

"Is it......"

........................

The memory ends.

"Speaking of which... the successful completion of this mission is really thanks to Jiang Ming's contribution..."

Yulandel looked at her own reflection in the black tea, slightly dazed. It seemed that she was not able to help Jiang Ming in any way.

"This mission was assigned to me and Lord Jiang Ming from the beginning. Lord Youlandel, you are just going there for a trip. Rita believes that Lord Jiang Ming will not care about people in this regard. On the contrary, he may even hope that you will not even participate in this mission and enjoy your vacation."

“Is that so…?”

"Of course it is, don't you think so, Lord Jiang Ming?"

"..."

There was no response. Jiang Ming was still staring at the tea in his hand. Rita raised her eyebrows slightly, walked slowly to Jiang Ming's side, leaned down and put her mouth close to Jiang Ming's ear and whispered.

"Master Jiang Ming, are you okay?"

"Ah...very...very good!"

Jiang Ming's body suddenly shook, and he responded somewhat intermittently, but Yulandel and Rita didn't think so.

"Master Jiang Ming, you seem to have been in a state of thinking since we came back from England. Is there something wrong?"

"..."

Jiang Ming seemed to be thinking for a while. After taking a long breath, he closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"No, nothing serious happened..."

Seeing that Jiang Ming didn't seem to want to say too much, Yulandel and Rita didn't pursue the matter further. After all, it would be quite difficult for them to help with something that was giving Jiang Ming a headache.

What's more, if Jiang Ming really needs help, he will definitely take the initiative to ask for it.

"I see... By the way, the bishop can't wait to study the Key of God. He said that in view of your outstanding performance, Jiang Ming, you will have a week's rest."

After hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then he fell into his own thoughts again.

After all...although he didn't know why, something suddenly appeared in Jiang Ming's mind that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, or in other words...ability.

He couldn't help but repeat its name in his mind once again -

[Rules of the Space Universe — Getting Started! ]

..................................

..................................

Chapter 163: The universe rules come one after another, and the God-killing armor is on the agenda

"..."

'System? System?'

Feeling somewhat unbelievable, Jiang Ming kept calling the system in his mind.

[What is it, host? ]

'Did you notice anything was wrong?'

【Something's wrong?】

The system didn't seem to notice anything, but instead asked Jiang Ming why he asked this.

[What's wrong, host? You seem to be restless since you came back from England. Are you worried about the owner of the Thunder Universe Rules? ]

[In fact, you don't have to worry to this extent. Even if the other party has realized or even mastered the rules of the universe, as long as I am here, a one-for-one exchange will at least save you.]

'Ha...hahaha, I am very grateful, but since you have such strength, why don't you just help me? As the inheritor of the Ultimate Star God, this is how He entrusted me to you, right? '

[The inheritance of the Star God level needs to be gradual. If you don’t have a strong foundation and physical body, the result of accepting it all at once will only lead to your body exploding and death. It would be better if you can comprehend it on your own.]

"That's true..."

Jiang Ming scratched his head in annoyance and said helplessly.

'But I always feel like... every time I'm on my way to enlightenment, something seems to be blocking me, just like the progress bar that was almost reaching 100% suddenly turned back to 20%...'

【...】

[The rules of the universe are extremely difficult to comprehend, whether it is this world or the world where the [Extreme] Star God lives. Moreover, He was only pursuing strength at that time and rarely cast a glance at other creatures.]

[So, even if the holder of the lightning universe rules really got the inheritance, the best he could achieve in his entire life would be enlightenment.]

'Why? ’

【...】

There was another very short silence, and the system's answer was just...

[Maybe you will know it later? Of course, even if you don’t get the answer, it won’t affect your future life.]

[You will never imagine what the [Extreme] Star God did for you. It may be extreme, but it is also for your own good.]

'Varied.....'

[You will know later, host]

"..."

Just when Jiang Ming decided not to ask any more questions, the system spoke first.

[If this is not what you are worried about, then it is the space and universe rules that you just obtained from the Second God Key, right? ]

"——!?"

The corner of Jiang Ming's eye twitched slightly.

"You...know..."

[Of course, among all the realms in this universe, apart from the [Ultimate] Star God, the one who understands the rules of the universe best is me.]

[Back to the topic just now, if you are worried that this special cosmic rule has an unknown origin, then don’t worry at all. Perhaps everything is someone indirectly helping you.]

"..."

"【Ultimate】Star God?"

【You will know later】

"..."

It seems that there is no way to get more information here. Jiang Ming is grateful to the system for helping him, but if it is...

If the system is a scam, a scam designed to allow the Ultimate Star God to possess his body and fully revive him...

He would have to be on guard, and the worst result would be that he wouldn't even have a chance to resist...
