What is it like to be on the verge of death?

Before this, Mo Lan had a vague understanding of this concept because he always thought he could control the whole situation.

Fight if you can win, run if you can't.

Just like playing a game, it's relaxing and enjoyable.

After defeating Flanders Sith, he was blinded by this inexplicable confidence, believing that he had snowballed his success and that the rest of the story would be a smooth ride.

Until he met Kishu.

There was no wasted words, no unnecessary moves; it was merely a test and a misjudgment.

He was instantly critically injured and on the verge of death.

This battle made Mo Lan fully understand the difference between a life-or-death battle and a casual fight, and how naive his previous ideas had been.

The purpose of the game of fate has always been to torment them to death; it is no exaggeration to describe it as a process of natural selection.

After the game of destiny came into existence, the three major alliances together comprised a total of six billion humans, but the total number of players remained at around ten thousand for many years.

Yesterday's players are tomorrow's graves and tombstones.

But it was precisely at the moment of facing death that Mo Lan completed a self-evolution and awakening.

A lingering attachment to life and a burning desire for revenge left Mo Lan with only one thought in her mind:

I can't die yet....

"Evolution has begun. 'Electricity Drive' has been added to your evolutionary system, which will no longer be restricted by the [Game of Fate]."

"You have grasped the true power of magnetic fields."

"Electric current driven (Class D)" → "Magnetic field rotation, 50,000 horsepower (Class C)".

[Skill: Magnetic Field Rotation - 50,000 Horsepower.]

[Rank: C]

[Synopsis: When the force of electric current and emotions reach their critical limit, one either collapses or crosses the threshold to reach the legendary realm of the gods... "Magnetic Field Rotation!"]

[Effect: After comprehending the rotation of the magnetic field, the power of the magnetic field will comprehensively enhance the user's strength, speed, physique, spirit, soul, and charm. The higher the rating, the higher the base stats.]

At the same time, magnetic field power can be compatible with almost all external forces, achieving a synergistic effect where 1+1>2.

[Message: To master the magnetic field is to be a god among men.]

Under the pressure of death and driven by an unwavering will to survive, Mo Lan successfully crossed that threshold and completed his awakening.

......

"Clatter".

Blood dripped from Adela's fingertips onto the ground.

"Is that all?"

Ji Zhou, with one hand around her neck, looked somewhat disappointed and casually threw the already seriously injured woman aside.

They didn't even bother to finish off the enemy.

After all, doing that would offend the Vatican too much, and it's unnecessary.

His agreed-upon job with the True Ancestor was simply to protect him until the ceremony was completed; he wouldn't do anything else.

At this moment, the area in front of the bronze gate of the True Ancestor's Underground Palace was littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

The players were either dead or wounded, and had completely lost the ability to fight again, including Han Jiang and Bart.

The Black Hawk unit was also completely wiped out.

"At this point, it's probably about time. Let's go outside and see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, and then we'll wrap things up."

Just as Kishu turned around and leisurely climbed the stairs...

A figure that seemed somewhat familiar appeared and blocked the entrance to the underground palace.

As the sun rose in the east, its brilliant and dazzling sunlight shone on the man, casting a long shadow that loomed before him.

Kishu raised a hand, pressing it against the sunlight. After seeing the person's appearance clearly, his pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.

"Really...?!"

Kishu was filled with disbelief.

"Long time no see... no, it doesn't seem like that long, but it really feels like a long time!"

The visitor smiled, his eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement, and offered him his sincerest greetings:

"You didn't expect that, did you? I'm still alive and well..."

Mo Lan smiled and raised her hand to lift her forehead, where traces of blood that hadn't been washed off remained.

Apart from that, only a barely visible scar remains.

And in front of him, the wound that tore his entire chest apart was now just a blood-stained bandage wrapped around his waist and abdomen.

Kishu frowned subconsciously: "My senses can't be wrong. You should already be dead."

"Even if he doesn't die, he will never stand in front of me."

What sent chills down Kishu's spine was that

The Mo Lan who appeared before him now seemed to have completely fallen into an uncontrollable frenzy.

He was practically like a mentally unstable patient.

You should know that at that time, he first stabbed Mo Lan in the head, and then stabbed him through the chest, tearing apart his entire chest cavity and heart.

Theoretically speaking, no human could survive such injuries.

But... only Mo Lan himself knew that he was not a 100% pure human being.

At the moment he evolved and awakened the rotation of the magnetic field, the strength of the cells in his body reached an unprecedented level.

At the same time, the near-death experience caused the progenitor virus in his body to enter a state of unlimited proliferation, where it would do anything to survive.

This resulted in two forces within Mo Lan's body, with the left foot pressing down on the right.

Not only did they slowly heal his fatal injury, but they also formed a perfect partnership and complementarity, ultimately achieving their current tacit cooperation.

Mo Lan pointed to her forehead and told Ji Zhou with a smile, "You know what? The reason you failed is that you didn't completely destroy my brain, which is why I survived from the brink of death."

The time spent in the extreme brink of death is very short.

If the injuries had been any more severe, or if Ji Zhou had been any more ruthless, Mo Lan wouldn't have had time to complete the awakening of the magnetic field rotation.

But there are no "what ifs" in life, and he has already accomplished it!

"fail?"

Kishu seemed to laugh in anger, letting out a cold laugh as he raised the dagger and wiped the blood from his arm.

"Isn't the battle only just beginning?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Lan's smile widened with even greater excitement:

"Really? You're right, the battle has only just begun!"

thumping!

The blue brick slab beneath Ji Zhou shattered instantly, and before that, his figure had already flashed to Mo Lan's side.

That extremely strange dagger, capable of penetrating all defenses, still posed a strong threat to Mo Lan.

He simply turned slightly to the side, easily dodging Kishu's attack at an extreme angle.

Mo Lan suddenly raised her left hand and aimed it at Ji Zhou.

The deep blue lightning crackling in his hair gradually turned from blue to deep black in that instant.

Under his control, the pitch-black lightning bolts continuously condensed and compressed at his fingertips.

Magnetic field rotation – 50,000 horsepower!

At that moment, an alarm bell rang in Kishu's heart.

Danger!

But time seemed to stand still at that moment, and Ji Zhou could only see the infinite calm in Mo Lan's eyes, and the strange substance that was spreading rapidly.

"Imaginary Zero".

This is a deadly move that Mo Lan created after comprehending the rotation of the magnetic field, drawing on many inspirations from his memories of his previous life.

It's a bit complicated to describe, but you just need to know that its only characteristic is that it releases quickly and has great power.

It is an unstoppable, self-destructive nuclear weapon, comparable to the Buddha's Wrathful Lotus.

Just a second before the Virtual Zero exploded, only one sentence remained in Kishu's mind:

"madman...!"

boom!!!

The next second, the magnetic field power that had been condensed to its limit between the two exploded instantly.

Even Ji Zhou had no time to react and could only barely use his dagger to block in front of him before being instantly engulfed by a white light.

The only drawback of this move is its short attack range; it will explode instantly once it leaves Mo Lan's control.

However, its extremely fast wind-up compensates for this.

As the thunder gradually dissipated, Mo Lan's left forearm, which had been used to unleash the Void Style: Zero, was completely shattered.

Kishu, who took the hit head-on from the virtual zero, was blasted into the wall, half of his body charred and crushed.

His head hung low, and a trickle of black blood slowly oozed from the corner of his mouth.

The reason he was defeated so quickly was that Mo Lan's Void Zero skill abandoned almost everything that could be sacrificed, only pursuing short pre-cast animation and high damage.

Caught completely off guard, Kishu suffered a severe blow.

Secondly, Kishu's true form is, in the end, just a human being, and once he suffers a fatal injury, he will quickly lose his fighting ability.

"This trick works better than I expected."

Mo Lan didn't care about his severed arm. He walked up to Ji Zhou, raised his second hand, and aimed it at the other man.

"Any last words?"

The boy's tone was calm.

Ji Zhou slowly raised his head and saw the virtual Zero that Mo Lan had condensed a second time in his right hand. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly....

He smiled as if he had let go of his worries.

"monster...."

He had nothing to say about losing to such a monster.

"If it happened again, I definitely wouldn't leave you with a whole corpse." He curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with the helplessness of encountering something inhuman.

But what's done is done, a loss is a loss.

The dagger that Ji Zhou was holding tightly fell into the rubble, and at the same moment, he slowly closed his eyes.

"..."

The illusory zero that Mo Lan had condensed in his hand gradually dissipated.

[Fate Game: You have defeated the boss-level character "Ki Shu" in this instance.]

The system's prompts don't lie, so I'm too lazy to waste my energy on further retaliating.

In fact, Mo Lan was quite grateful to Ji Zhou. If it weren't for him, she would never have been able to awaken so quickly.

If Ji Zhou hadn't woken him up from his "naivety" early on and told him what a life-or-death battle was, he would definitely have suffered a major setback in the future.

Ultimately, the strong respect each other.

Mo Lan picked up the dagger from the ground, then punched the wall next to her, shattering it and burying Ji Zhou's body inside.

[Weapon: May Rain.]

[Category: Cold Weapon - Dagger]

[Grade: C]

[Characteristics: Special Attack for Dark-type enemies, Special Attack against Field Forces.]

[Introduction: May is the month of the devil's death. Weeping, trembling, and then facing death!]

"Ah Qiu, go check on their situation."

Mo Lan shouted.

"no problem!"

Ah Qiu, who had been peeking in from the doorway, only ran in after hearing Mo Lan's voice, and began to stabilize Adela and the others' injuries.

Mo Lan, holding a dagger, stepped through the blood on the ground and arrived at the bronze gate of the underground palace, taking a deep breath.

Li Ang, leaning weakly against the wall behind him, said, "Lan Meng, that guy inside... is dangerous! Be careful!"

Han Jiang, who had been lying on the ground seemingly dead for a while, suddenly came back to life and tossed something to Mo Lan:

"There's nothing more to say. So you were the hidden mastermind all along. Here, take this. I'm counting on you from now on. I'll die for a bit first."

"If you can beat the game in thirty minutes, my injuries can still be treated."

After saying that, he tilted his head to the side and collapsed to the ground with a thud, completely exhausted.

Although they had just witnessed Mo Lan's formidable strength in killing Ji Zhou, they were still worried about his next move.

Mo Lan caught the thing Han Jiang threw at her.

[Item: Sage's Eye]

[Category: Remains of a Saint]

[Introduction: Legend has it that after a sage's death, countless bones were scattered throughout the world.]

[Instructions for use: Integrate the remains into yourself to unlock the Sage's Vision, gaining unobstructed views and the ability to perceive all attacks.]

Bart, who had been kicked halfway through his body by Kishu, lay nearby. Seeing this, he twitched his brow and said helplessly:

"This idiot Han Jiang and I spent ages fighting over this thing inside the Shadow Church, but... as long as you can kill the True Ancestor, it's not a loss."

"After all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a glorious death..."

After reading the introduction, Mo Lan gently placed the Sage's Eye on her forehead and merged it into it.

His eyes changed from their original dark brown to deep blue.

In an instant, countless pieces of "information" flooded into Mo Lan's mind, things that his original eyes had never been able to see clearly.

"Go, go!" A-Qiu encouraged Mo Lan from the side.

Unfortunately, the summoning-type dungeons in the game of fate don't allow bringing the Silver Moon Armor in yet, otherwise she would have taken it out long ago.

With her skill set, at best she can only look for opportunities to launch sneak attacks from the sidelines.

The battle ahead will still depend on Mo Lan alone.

Bart raised his watch, glanced at the mission countdown, and asked Moran, panting, "..."

"There's still time; the ancestral ritual isn't finished yet, but do you think you can win?"

After briefly closing her eyes and experiencing the new visual experience, Mo Lan couldn't help but reveal a confident smile.

"We will win."

After saying that, he pushed open the door to the underground palace.
