Ultimate Life Begins with Injustice

"Yamagami-kun, calm down."

Suren gently tugged at the shoulder on the mountain.

Although the two men opened the door, no one in the entire room looked at the two intruders.

His knuckles were already white, his clenched fist trembled slightly, and his whole body tensed up.

His gaze wasn't fixed on the face of the speaker leading the chant of "immortality is inevitable," but rather on a particular audience member in the front row.

The woman in the audience was middle-aged or elderly, and her eyes were now filled with a fervor that Su Lun had never seen before.

She was clapping vigorously, her face contorted so distorted that it was hard to call her "human," as if her hands were merely tools for making noise.

Even based on his five senses, which were both divine and tyrannical, Suren could still see the tear stains that hadn't been wiped away from the corners of her eyes.

"But it's really noisy..."

Suren picked at his ear, then clasped his hands together, pointing the four fingers forward.

This starting stance is the strongest offensive skill in the Kamo family's "Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique" among the three starter families—Hundredfold Blood Piercing.

This move is indeed not difficult to execute. It involves using magical power to continuously compress the liquid inside both palms, and then shooting the liquid out like a high-pressure water gun from the middle finger area.

However, with the blessing of Shikigami Manxiang among the ten shadow spells, Suren doesn't need to use his own blood as ammunition.

If they coordinate well with the elephant, using the strength of the water jets it sprays from its trunk, Suren only needs to manipulate his magical power to create a "gun barrel".

boom!

A sound like a cannon firing came from the doorway.

People didn't even have time to look back and see what had happened.

The speaker, who had just been waving his arms and leading the crowd in applause on the stage, suddenly stopped.

His smile was even frozen on his face, and he could only look down to see what changes had occurred in his body.

What came into view was his chest, a bloody mess with bone fragments visible.

Before he could react, his body collapsed, completely exhausted.

Tick, tick.

Water droplets splashed onto the ceiling and then fell back down.

The once bustling scene suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop; Suren could even hear their own breathing, which hadn't yet calmed down.

"Baka yarou!"

From a corner of the venue, a bald man emerged from the crowd, accompanied by a large, obese body.

Each step he took was like a small earthquake as he rushed towards Suren.

Sizzle...

Suren did not continue using "Blood Piercing," but instead changed his palm into a claw and grabbed directly at the opponent's neck.

A powerful electric current instantly pierced through the heart of the charging fat man.

Before Suren could actually catch his opponent, the electric charge had already pierced the air, bringing with it the aroma of ripe, caramelized fat.

Pfft!

The sound of the body hitting the ground was like a heavy bomb, silencing all the remaining noise in the room.

All eyes were now on Suren and the mountain, who were blocking the only exit.

"I'll give you ten seconds. Anyone who hasn't left yet will end up like him."

Suren resumed the "Blood Piercing" starting stance.

silence.

It was deathly silent, as if only Suren and the two people on the mountain existed in the entire room.

Thump, thump, thump!

To Suren's surprise, before she could even begin the countdown, the drum set next to the podium started playing.

Then, electric guitar, guitar, triangle, harmonies, and various other sounds mingled together, creating an intro comparable to the cry of a cursed spirit.

"In the past, I blindly forged ahead, on a path that led to my short life..."

"The passage of time stings the soul, leaving one unable to find the direction one once had..."

Everyone in the venue swayed from side to side like sunflowers in Plants vs. Zombies.

"Hey?"

Suren never expected that these people's faith was so unwavering.

Even when supernatural phenomena occur before their eyes, they seem to still firmly believe that they are the chosen ones, the ones who will gain eternal life.

Without hesitation, he pointed his fingertip at the believer closest to him.

His own "water penetration" technique was far too crude. He couldn't even achieve "concentrating on one point and reaching the pinnacle" when fighting an ordinary person without magical power.

It's more accurate to say it was "smashed" through rather than "pierced" by the water.

The Ten Shadows spell's power utilization efficiency is indeed not high, requiring constant practice.

Although they couldn't find any government officials, they only found fanatical believers who believed in "eternal life," and they couldn't find out about the plans of Lu Suo colluding with the government and high-ranking figures in the sorcery.

But as the saying goes, since we're already here, Suren doesn't mind leveling up his skills.

boom!

Wow!

Oh!

As Suren took his next step forward, the sound from his hand grew fainter and fainter.

It's no longer the powerful stream of water that can shatter a person's ribs and leave a large, uneven hole in their chest.

Instead, it can precisely cut into the heart of Dongchuan, creating a smooth incision, like a trickle of water.

At the same time, the echoing singing throughout the room gradually became softer and softer, almost imperceptibly.

click!

Tear!

Suren did not simply use the water flow of the [Full Elephant], but also practiced the claws and teeth of the Jade Dog and the electric shock of the Nue.

The option of escape was not in the minds of these fanatics; at most, they would only put up some resistance.

Some of them, though they would close their eyes tightly and tremble when Suren aimed at them, would still open their mouths and hum along with the crowd.

Or rather, the choices they made in the past have forced them to firmly believe in their faith.

Before long, Suren was already in the front row, standing in front of the woman that the mountain king had been staring at.

Although she looks somewhat old, you can still see the beauty she had in her youth.

At this moment, her gaze toward Suren held no fear or resentment, but rather a kind of almost contemptuous devotion.

thump.

That was the sound of Yamagami-kun kneeling on the ground, who had been standing at the door the whole time.

His eyes were vacant, his expression blank, as if he were thinking about something from a very distant past.

[A swimmer has added a rule for the "Death Returns" event: players can transfer points to each other.]

Just as Suren was watching the last person lose vital signs, Xiao Jin's voice rang in his ear.

"It's faster than I expected..."

Suren shook his hand, and used all the curse power converted from the [Forge of Hatred] to increase his skill proficiency.

The addition of this rule is clearly intended to allow swimmers who are unwilling to compete to openly engage in "passive play".

Although it may lead to scams, the ability to efficiently utilize the scores of high-scoring players and refresh the "points unchanged time" by transferring points clearly means that this rule is considered "acceptable" by the official team of Death & Resurrection.

"Alright, the investigation during the window period has been somewhat effective. Now, it's time to gather them and get down to business."

Suren looked around the room. The hall, which had just been neat, orderly, and full of life, was now a mess.

But he felt nothing at all.
