Great, we're doomed now!

Ye Shou pointed, and a slender blade of light flew out, heading towards the Queen of the Underworld—

Snapped!

The Shadow Mage swung his staff, deflecting the attack, and roared in fury, "You!"

"Looks like I was right... Since you value her so much, then you'd better stand there and don't move."

With a swift movement of his hands, Dark Radiance Baye Li drew the energy of the entire space towards this location.

"Ugh?"

The Shadow Mage glanced at the Queen of the Underworld behind him, then at Bayeri, who was calmly preparing his ultimate attack. He was bewildered and confused, his mind a complete mess.

This doesn't make sense...aren't our positions reversed?

Who is the bad guy?

Chapter 370: Heroes of Light Cannot Do This Kind of Thing (4.5K)

No!

We finally made it this far, how can we collapse here!

"Stop them!!!"

The Shadow Mage roared, raising both hands to unleash a deep purple light wave. Then, with a thought, the Queen of the Underworld also stood up, releasing golden divine power from her chest. The two combined their strength to collide with the Dark Radiance in mid-air, barely managing to block it.

In the midst of the intense exchange, Ye Shou suddenly withdrew his hand and dodged away with a side somersault.

boom!

Golden and dark purple energies intertwined and exploded, shockwaves swept around, the ground cracked open like a spider web, and rubble and black mist flew everywhere.

The ground was teetering on the brink of collapse, and golden-red magma could be seen flowing out of the cracks. The Shadow Mage and the Queen of the Underworld rose into the sky and hovered side by side, their bodies surging with energy, clearly indicating that the attack just now was not easy.

However, as the Queen of the Underworld's golden wings trembled slightly, the chaotic aura quickly stabilized, while the Shadow Mage's black robes fluttered, black mist surged around him, and his energy rebounded significantly.

Is this what they call authority? Ye Shou stood in mid-air, his brows slightly furrowed.

Although he was fighting two opponents at once, the intensity of their light waves didn't put much pressure on Ye Shou. Instead, he felt like he was being hindered by something... Indeed, the Queen of the Underworld had a clear advantage here.

Taking games as an example, it's like one side is receiving a buff while the other is being weakened, greatly reducing the original power gap.

If Ye Shou didn't have the [Dark Radiance] form and only challenged in the form of the Warrior of Light, he would inevitably be worn down if he couldn't win quickly!

But reality doesn't allow for "what ifs." Having progressed this far, the Shadow Mage has already lost the initiative.

Intelligence operations are part of strategy and tactics. To fail to understand one's opponent and assume that things will develop in one's own predetermined direction is undoubtedly a foolish arrogance.

Before battle, Ye Shou always formulates a sound plan based on intelligence, making the most efficient use of his resources. He would never be stingy or, like a traditional villain, constantly feed experience to the enemy.

Even if unexpected events occur, there are usually contingency plans in place to deal with them, which is the fundamental reason why he has been able to turn danger into safety time and time again.

Although this is a world with "light," who would be willing to gamble on such a slim probability unless absolutely necessary?

If he were like Shadow Master, confidently facing an enemy he knew nothing about with just a little bit of reliance and achievement... he wouldn't have enough lives!

"Don't think you can win easily. My power hasn't been fully revealed yet—oohhhhh!"

Before Ye Shou could launch another attack, the Shadow Mage's body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a thick black mist that instantly enveloped all the remaining monsters around him!

Wow~

The monsters' bodies disintegrated at a visible speed, and then the black mist contracted wildly as if it were alive, rapidly coalescing around the Queen of the Underworld to form a huge vortex cloud that obscured the view. The crisp sound of bones grinding together intertwined with the monsters' roars.

A moment later, a giant monster over two hundred meters tall appeared on the spot.

Its body was even more twisted than the Yamata no Orochi that roared in hell. Countless thick, sharp limbs extended from its torso, and its scales, claws, and teeth gleamed with a cold light. Heads of various shapes were piled up haphazardly at its neck.

Each face was emitting a different roar, exuding a suffocating ferocity.

"Hahaha... So what if you kill me!"

The monster's voices overlapped, as if countless people were speaking at the same time, hoarse and frantic.

Its massive maw opened and closed, spewing out a hot wind with the smell of sulfur: "The core of the Queen of the Underworld is bound to Hell. If I perish, this Netherworld will collapse along with her!"

At that time, the resentment of hell will break through the boundaries, turning all of Japan into a demon realm, and everyone will become a sacrifice to the souls of the dead!

"It doesn't matter."

"Varied--"

"What I want to protect is all of humanity, not just one person or a group of people. If you let it develop unchecked, it could endanger other realms of the underworld and the scope of the disaster could expand further. So it's better to stop the damage here."

"You...don't you have any compassion? That's hundreds of millions of people!"

"It wasn't me who killed them. On the contrary, I would have saved many more people."

These words seemed to have a huge impact on the Shadow Mage, as the conversation was completely different from what it had expected. All those heads simultaneously showed expressions of bewilderment.

"...Aren't you a hero of justice?"

"I will protect humanity, I just need someone to serve me."

After Ye Shou finished speaking coldly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Master!"

This sound was like a spell, causing barely perceptible, transparent ripples to spread in the void, like disturbed water, from which the figure of a ronin samurai emerged—

"coming!"

Jin Tianjinglong's figure shifted from illusion to reality, and with a nimble leap, he appeared from the void!

There's no need to ask what happened, nor to care who the enemy is; the two can fight side-by-side with absolute understanding without needing to communicate, because no matter what—

"Just cut it down!"

As the katana was drawn, countless spiritual particles transformed into streams of light and surged towards Ye Shou.

Ye Shou's gaze swept over the monster that the Shadow Mage had transformed into, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly smiled.

"I want to thank you...you gave me a little inspiration."

"What did you say?"

"I've always been a bit troubled. Although I've collected several 'badges,' I can't seem to integrate them well with my giant form. It's not a matter of power attributes, but rather that they are fundamentally different from my purpose, making it impossible for them to work together."

But seeing your posture gave me a new idea:

If the giants of light don't work, what about the warriors of darkness?

With a flick of his wrist, a golden light flashed in the void, followed by two circular badges that lay quietly in his palm:

One is a silver-haired demon with horns, and the other is a one-eyed, red-eyed machine.

【Ryomen Sukuna】&【M·A】!

One is the "first enemy" Ye Shou encountered, and the other is the AI ​​core of the super battleship that was shot down in the world of "Iron Blood". The latter does not even have a soul in the ordinary sense. It is the result of Liuli extracting a "living spirit" and then fixing it in the "Prosperous Country".

If there's anything they have in common, it's that they're all filled with murderous intent towards humans!

Previously, Ye Shou couldn't find a suitable way to use it, but now that he has a basic grasp of "Dark Radiance," things are quite different, after all—

"Darkness is all-encompassing and devours everything."

hum!

As the two badges also disappeared into the giant's body, the dim light suddenly surged, and under the intimidating aura, Ye Shou's upper body was covered with silver-gray mobile armor. The energy circuits shone with a crimson glow in the gaps, while the shoulder armor gleamed with a cold metallic light.

Two swords, one black and one white, appeared in his left and right hands respectively. They were heavy in appearance but sharp in appearance, leaving no doubt about their power.

"Damn it!" Seeing Ye Shou switch forms again, the Shadow Mage, already traumatized, immediately sensed something was wrong. Its massive and bloated body took flight, it was unclear whether it wanted to fight or flee.

Meanwhile, Dark Radiance Bayeri streaked through the air, his mobile armor leaving a red trail of flames behind him, propelling him to the monster's side in an instant. Ye Shou gripped a longsword infused with the spiritual power of the Jinglong, its blade gleaming with a faint golden light, pointing directly at the giant monster.

"The power to ward off evil?"

The monsters, sensing danger, couldn't resist launching the first attack.

The topmost beast head spewed forth raging flames, and a crimson pillar of fire, carrying the force to incinerate everything, crashed down upon Ye Shou—

Clang!

The long sword cleaved it in two, as if it were a solid object.

At this moment, the demon on the left opened its mouth and shot out several bolts of purple lightning. Before the ear-piercing thunderclap arrived, the lightning had already torn through the air.

Ye Shou dodged to the side and flew out of the gap, facing the lightning!

wow~

A mouthpart emerged from below, spewing and stirring up black mist, which transformed into a pungent miasma that spread outwards. When it hit Ye Shou, it felt like countless fine needles piercing him, exploding into countless tiny sparks.

However, Ye Shou showed no sign of retreating. Ignoring the harm from the miasma, he charged forward with his longsword, the blade carrying the power to ward off evil, and slashed fiercely at the foremost beast head—

Click!

It was like steel clashing, but the beast head fell to the ground with a thud.

However, the next second, black energy gushed out from the severed neck and quickly condensed into a new head!

"It's no use!" the monster roared, as countless limbs attacked simultaneously, their claws and scales gleaming coldly.

Ye Shou swung his sword backhand to parry, his qi blades crisscrossing and colliding with the monster's limbs, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound, and sparks flew everywhere in the sky.

He moved with incredible agility, circling the monster like a streak of light. His black and white swords relentlessly sliced ​​through the monster's flesh, occasionally even severing its head. The ground was already a wrecked mess from the corrosive effects of the poisonous blood...

The battle didn't last long. The monster's attacks became increasingly frenzied, with flames, lightning, and poisonous mist attacking in turn. It was quite monotonous, but its stamina was inexhaustible, and it had a strong home-field advantage. This kind of offensive was chaotic but extremely difficult to deal with.

However, the energy hub on Ye Shou's shoulder armor also turned red—

A large amount of data analysis and low-voltage circuit locking appeared before Ye Shou's eyes!

The M·A module records and analyzes the monster's fighting style, which seems random but is also influenced by the Shadow Mage's own habits and experience, resulting in a kind of "pseudo-random" indiscriminate attack.

For a super AI that once drove all of humanity to the brink of despair, analyzing this amount of data is a piece of cake.

--drop!

With the help of AI, Ye Shou seized an opening and leaped up, his long sword slashing fiercely across the monster's abdomen with a sharp gust of wind!

wow...

A foul-smelling, dark green viscous liquid poured down, sizzling as it hit the ground and corroding deep pits.

However, the cut did not bleed; instead, it suddenly split open!

It transformed into a gigantic, blood-red maw, its inner walls covered with sharp barbs, and with a powerful suction force, it instantly swallowed Ye Shou, who was still in mid-air.
