I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!
Chapter 25 The Valkyrie Appears
Ultimately, Mao Xingzhou wasn't the kind of fierce person who was willing to die for his cause.
He had just taken out several grenades from his spatial watch, intending to take Su Yu down with him, but this was mostly driven by emotion.
Seeing his plan fall through, and as Su Yu dragged him closer and closer to the female zombie, feeling death approaching, Mao Xingzhou's body trembled uncontrollably, and he kept begging for mercy.
Su Yu did not answer, but dragged Mao Xingzhou along and walked firmly toward the female zombie.
Mao Xingzhou must die!
Things had progressed to this point, so it was no longer possible for Mao Xingzhou to beg for mercy.
Even if Mao Xingzhou's mother knelt in front of him and promised to do anything as long as her son was released, Su Yu still wouldn't change his mind.
Seeing Su Yu dragging Mao Xingzhou closer to her, the female zombie let out a low growl from her throat.
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, I've brought him here!"
With great interest, Su Yu teased the female zombie, not caring whether she could understand him or not. With a flick of his right arm, he threw Mao Xingzhou in front of her.
Attracted by the fresh flesh and blood, the female zombie, now only half a body, struggled to climb onto Mao Xingzhou and began to devour him.
In an instant, Mao Xingzhou's screams echoed throughout the entire street.
"Su Yu, you bastard, you'll die a horrible death!"
"Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."
"If the boss finds out you dare to lay a dirty hand on me, he'll definitely kill you."
"Your fate will be even worse than this, just you wait!"
In his final moments, Mao Xingzhou looked at Su Yu with eyes full of hatred and uttered vicious curses.
Su Yu paid no attention to Mao Xingzhou's curse.
Why is he arguing with a dead man?
Moreover, the more fiercely the other party curses, the more pain they are in.
Seeing Mao Xingzhou's agonizing state, unable to live or die quickly, the female zombie pulled out his intestines through the tear in his protective suit. Su Yu's lips curled up slightly.
"What happens to me is unimportant; what matters is that you die before me, and that's enough!"
As the saying goes, anger can kill without consequence. Even though Mao Xingzhou was already barely breathing, Su Yu had no intention of letting him enjoy the pleasure of verbal sparring.
As the female zombie bit down on Mao Xingzhou's exposed throat outside his protective suit, this arrogant young man, who had been rampant from the Red Cube room all the way into the survival killing game, finally shut his mouth forever.
True to his nature, Su Yu was ruthless and taciturn. He rushed to Mao Xingzhou's corpse in two strides and kicked the female zombie away.
"Alright, it's time for your meal to end."
Su Yu wouldn't allow this female zombie to endlessly gnaw on Mao Xingzhou's corpse.
One of them is a female zombie as the mission objective; the mission issued by the Red Cube cannot be completed without killing her.
Secondly, Su Yu was worried that if Mao Xingzhou's body was left out any longer, it might turn into a zombie!
What a joke! He went through so much trouble to kill the other party. If he turns Mao Xingzhou into a zombie and then tries to take over his abilities, but ends up with the ability to become an ordinary zombie, wouldn't that be the biggest joke in the world?
Better safe than sorry. On such matters of principle, Su Yu always seeks stability.
Crouching down beside Mao Xingzhou's corpse, Su Yu decisively activated the Sevenfold Spiral, which was the special ability he had awakened.
To be honest, the feeling of plundering Mao Xingzhou's superpowers was quite strange.
Even though he was a newcomer and had barely used his special abilities, Su Yu felt as if he were eating and drinking when he activated them. It was as if the ability to use his special abilities had been unconsciously etched into his genes by some mysterious force.
Having given up the ability to become a Licker, Su Yu replaced his special ability with the ability to summon Valkyries.
Gazing at Mao Xingzhou's ashes, Su Yu stood up slowly from the ground, expressionless.
"Fill it up, fill it up, fill it up..."
"It goes on and on, endlessly."
"Where your heart leads, my will follows."
"Your life is entrusted to my command, and my fate is tied to your sword."
"We met amidst the flames of war, when smoke and fire obscured the sun."
"Walking on the edge of life and death, fulfilling the duty of killing."
"Using the body as the medium, and the soul as the bond."
"Never betray, I hereby swear."
"Answer my call, and here reveal your true form."
"Come forth, Valkyrie!"
As he chanted the long and complicated incantation, Su Yu unconsciously raised his voice when he reached the last line, almost shouting it out.
He was also very curious about what the Valkyrie he had summoned would look like.
Based on the clues about abilities that appeared out of nowhere in his mind, Su Yu knew that even the same ability would have different effects depending on who used it.
Especially for summoning-type abilities, the difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
Swish...
As Su Yu activated his ability, he felt the temperature of the entire street instantly drop below zero.
A large, ice-blue door came into Su Yu's view.
Unlike the golden gate that appeared when Mao Xingzhou summoned the Valkyrie, Su Yu could clearly sense that the Valkyrie he summoned was not the same type as Mao Xingzhou's Valkyrie at all!
The ice-blue door slowly opened, and a figure walked out.
"It's you..."
With his eyes fixed on the beautiful figure, Su Yu realized that the one he had summoned was the one who best fit the image of a Valkyrie in his mind.
Fair skin, exquisite features, a high nose bridge, and full, glossy lips.
Her long, icy blue hair, eyes, eyebrows, and eyelashes, along with her sharply defined facial features, gave her beauty a strong sense of distance and aggression.
"hiss......"
Su Yu gasped. When the other person got closer, he realized that his height of 1.72 meters was no match for this Valkyrie in high heels!
The Valkyrie, wearing high heels, is almost 1.8 meters tall.
Based on his visual estimation, Su Yu estimated that this Valkyrie, even without her high heels, would be at least 1.7 meters tall.
If we're talking about something just as eye-catching as her appearance, it has to be this Valkyrie's figure and attire.
The Valkyrie's figure was incredibly voluptuous and shapely.
She was dressed primarily in white, with a black military uniform on top, a white military cap with a black brim on her head, and a black scarf tied around her snow-white neck that reached down to her legs, with a fluffy ornament at the end of each scarf.
A V-neck top, a white battle skirt, a rapier at her waist, and fitted white high-heeled over-the-knee boots.
The Valkyrie's overall image gives people a powerful yet calm visual impact. She exudes a powerful aura and sense of oppression that looks down on all living beings, truly living up to Su Yu's summoning of her.
"Lao, Lao Ai?"
Subconsciously calling out the other person's nickname, Su Yu swore that plundering Mao Xingzhou's ability to summon Valkyries was the best decision he had ever made in his life, without exception!
That's right, the Valkyrie standing in front of him was Esdeath, a female character that Su Yu had fallen in love with at first sight many years ago when he was bored and watching anime to pass the time.
Upon seeing Esdeath up close, Su Yu was incredibly excited. If he had to describe it in one sentence, it would be "tears welling up in his eyes." This was a dream come true for him.
"What kind of weird nickname is that?"
Esdeath frowned slightly and said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"You...you can talk?"
Upon hearing Esdeath's words, Su Yu froze on the spot.
Do Valkyries have their own consciousness?
This is not right, it's extremely not right!
Recalling when Mao Xingzhou summoned the Valkyrie to fight the zombies, he also gave her combat orders.
Looking at his own side, the Valkyrie he summoned could not only speak, but also express her dissatisfaction to him.
Why can't I speak?
Esdeath's expression darkened slightly, seemingly quite displeased with Su Yu's reaction.
"Being able to speak means you have self-awareness, but do you know where you came from, and where this place is?"
Su Yu asked Esdeath in front of him, as he knew how to use his abilities.
But the fact that the other party has independent consciousness makes Su Yu somewhat puzzled. Does Esdeath know anything about the Rubik's Cube Space and the Survival Killing Game?
The ice-blue gate gradually disappeared into the street after Esdeath stepped out, and the surrounding temperature rapidly rose, returning to normal.
Despite her slight dissatisfaction with the guy in front of her, Esdeath knew exactly what was going on and answered Su Yu's question.
"Of course I know where I came from and where this is. I was leading troops in battle in the northern border of the empire when I was summoned by a mysterious force. Although we didn't communicate, I was able to obtain a lot of interesting information from this force. This is a place called the Magic Cube Space. As long as you are alive and participate in the survival killing game, I can keep challenging powerful enemies, keep fighting, and enjoy the thrill of crushing my opponents, right?"
"That's exactly right."
"That's settled then. If there's any other problem, it's that your strength is too weak, and my strength is also greatly limited because of this."
"this......"
Upon hearing Esdeath's words, Su Yu immediately understood.
"You mean you're not at your peak right now?"
"You should be grateful if you're still at your peak. You're not even one-tenth as strong as you used to be. Let alone one-tenth, I'm afraid you're not even one-hundredth."
"What should we do then?"
"What else can I do? My strength is tied to yours. That means the stronger you are, the stronger I am. Try to become stronger, and don't hold me back in battle."
Esdeath's words were cruel, but they were also the reality facing Su Yu.
That makes sense. If Esdeath were summoned to this world at her peak, I dare say, but wouldn't it be an instant kill for people like Chen Bin and Chu Tianyang?
Killing those two would be as easy as killing a dog.
The problem would be even bigger if Esdeath's strength were severely weakened.
As the manager of the Rubik's Cube space, or one of many managers, the Red Rubik's Cube obviously wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
Su Yu turned his gaze back to Esdeath, confirming his guess once again.
"You say your strength has been weakened, but what about the combat experience you've accumulated over the years? Do you still have it?"
"Absolutely. These combat experiences are ingrained in my bones, and no one can take them away from me."
"That's good."
Su Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even though his strength had been weakened, his opponent's combat experience was still there.
This means that Esdeath is still the incomparably powerful first female general of the empire in his memory.
Esdeath's strength can be gradually improved. As long as she works hard enough, she will eventually return to her peak.
But exceptional wisdom and combat experience are what he urgently needs right now, because Su Yu needs to find a reliable person to keep an eye on his back.
Su Yu had no desire to deal with Zeng Fuyuan and Liu Xin, who died while searching for food, anymore.
Cheng Li was very obedient, but unfortunately she couldn't adapt to the rhythm of the survival killing game. Even if she survived this round, she would be eliminated sooner or later.
The death of Song Yuewen, a female bank employee, was so unjust; it was even less worthwhile than the death of Cheng Li.
Secretary Xu Zhiwen died too young, so it's impossible to discern anything about him. Su Yu's assessment of him was that he had some sense, but not much.
Xu Zhiwen had no idea what he should or shouldn't do, what he could or couldn't do.
If you use the same methods from real life to deal with the rhythm of the Rubik's Cube space, he'll die, and who will?
Listening to the leader doesn't mean listening to them like this!
As for Li Ping, Lu Renjia, and Xiao Bingyi, Su Yu was too lazy to comment; they were all complete idiots.
Chi Feng, the bank's foreman, is ambitious and wants to thrive in Chen Bin's clique, but unfortunately, he is narrow-minded, has limited abilities, and lacks the most important insight.
If Chun Zhongding had a good team leader who was steady and reliable, he could have become a key player in the team. Unfortunately, he was too unlucky. Apart from An Qiluo and Fu Xueying, none of the veteran players, led by Chen Bin, had thought of taking care of the newcomer.
An Qiluo and Fu Xueying's care was also limited. The reason why Jun Zhongding died was largely because he was tricked by Liu Xin.
Given the quality of this batch of new recruits in the Cube Space, let alone one or two, even if you gave them ten new recruits, none of them would be as reliable as Esdeath.
On the other hand, is the Esdeath he summoned truly the invincible female general he remembered?
Is it possible that the Esdeath he summoned was just a clone, and that her original memories, like the information in the Rubik's Cube space, were forcibly added into her mind by someone?
Or is the Esdeath before him merely a replica based on his memories?
Su Yu's head was throbbing with thought, but these questions were difficult to answer without verification.
Regardless, the only thing Su Yu was certain of was that Esdeath was absolutely trustworthy; she was summoned by him through his abilities, and that couldn't be faked.
"Although I'd love to know why you gave me that nickname, let's put that aside for now; trouble is brewing."
As she spoke, Esdeath turned her gaze to the distance not far away.
Following Esdeath's gaze, Su Yu noticed the female zombie whose waist he had previously broken, leaving only half a body, was now causing trouble again.
After devouring Mao Xingzhou's flesh and blood, the female zombie seemed to have evolved.
Countless tentacles grew from the severed area at her waist, reconnecting her severed lower body.
"Damn it, can't you just let me lie down and coast until the game ends?"
Seeing this, Su Yu was completely bewildered.
The reason he said "lying flat" was that he felt that Chen Bin, An Qiluo, Chu Tianyang, and Fu Xueying should have no problem taking down the other four mutated zombies.
Now look what's happened! The half-dead female zombie has gotten up again. If Su Yu had known this would happen, he would have killed the female zombie first before slowly trying out his new ability.
