Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　But from a sensory perspective, deep inside the giant snake's body, there was an undeniable sense of "deadly" danger.

　Almost at that moment, Cong Yu reacted swiftly—

　"Jormungandr Train!!!"

　As Cong Yu cast his spell,

　He fell and disappeared into space very quickly, and when he reappeared, he was already outside the giant snake's mouth.

　"..."

　"call……"

　Cong Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Amidst the worried gazes of some people on the battlefield below, he glanced at the snake tail of the now-vanished "Jormungandr Train"... The outer body of the Jormungandr Train had been eaten.

　From an internal perspective...

　That carriage was already half full.

　Fortunately, the number of Jormungandr trains is unlimited.

　However, the giant snake was not surprised by Cong Yu's escape. With a slight movement of its body, the torn wounds on its body began to throb.

　Just like a boiling swamp, the dark substance on it began to rise rapidly and extend out of the giant snake's body.

　The pitch-black substance transformed into countless sharp spikes that attacked Cong Yu, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

　Before Cong Yu had even come to a stop in the air, he saw countless sharp blades beginning to thrust towards him.

　This move is...

　Then... let's respond with the same move!

　"Ouroboros, the Ouroboros!"

　Behind Cong Yu, countless black spikes and blade tentacles condensed from his back, imbued with the power of faith, and attacked like a torrential rain.

　Intertwined with the "darkness" of the giant serpent, and then...

　It crumbles at the slightest touch.

　It's not fair to say it collapsed at the slightest touch...

　But the power of faith did not last long before it was quickly shattered... along with Ouroboros.

　Even the "power of faith" seems unable to escape the "possibility" of the opponent's attack, which has transcended common sense and status.

　Logically speaking, the power of faith is definitely greater than that of magic.

　If you say so...

　The power wielded by the giant serpent... which is another source of darkness, Apophis, contains magical elements, but it is definitely not just magic.

　It doesn't seem to be the power of faith either.

　What force drives you?

　Cong Yu couldn't help but ask, while simultaneously re-entering the Jormungandr train to avoid the spikes' attack.

　What power is higher than the power of faith?

　Damn it, the appearance of the "Power of Faith" had already given Cong Yu a major headache, and then during the final battle...

　Finally, a truth called "There are other powers, stronger and more powerful than the power of faith, and you need to master them" was instilled in me.

　Cong Yu absolutely cannot accept this!!!

　Amidst this gritted teeth, Cong Yu swiftly appeared in the air and slashed at the giant snake's wound with his sword.

　As for Cong Yu's attacks and words...

　The giant serpent did not respond to the latter's thoughts, and merely tilted its head slightly in response to the former, so the sword light did not hit the existing wound.

　Instead, it grazed its scales, sparking a string of sparks and creating a larger tear.

　Then, a hint of impatience flashed in the giant snake's eyes, and it suddenly swung its body, its huge tail sweeping across like a mountain.

　Cong Yu's figure retreated rapidly in the air.

　He barely dodged the blow that was meant to flatten him. But he was still grazed by the tail and was instantly sent flying.

　"boom!!!!"

　It fell heavily to the ground!

　Cong Yu's figure created a huge crater in the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust... He's incredibly difficult to deal with.

　As Cong Yu was thinking this, countless snake scales began to surge towards them, only to be dispersed by magic and beams of light...

　"Lord Congyu! We're here to help you!"

　"Congyu-chan! Are you alright?!"

　The rabbit man and Hikaru Yokawa, who were fighting nearby, rushed towards the spot where Murasame had landed... Etzel also flew over quickly.

　The rabbit-man and Yaochuan Guang's eyes were filled with worry, while Etzle's were burning with fighting spirit: "I'm here to help you!!!"

　Cong Yu: "..."

　"Need not."

　As Cong Yu stood up, his wounds had completely healed: "That guy is beyond your capabilities, even if you possess 'Determined Burning'."

　As instructed by Cong Yu, Yao Chuan Guang and the others obediently continued to kill snake scales, while Etzel crossed her arms.

　"However, the power used by the giant serpent was also a determined burning... apart from that, magic only accounted for a portion of it."

　Etzel said this simply, looking up at the giant snake swooping down: "Using it so recklessly, I feel like it could easily burn you to death..."

　After quickly finishing speaking, Etzel, to Cong Yu's astonishment, swiftly raised the lance in her hand towards the approaching, ridiculously large behemoth.

　"Determination to Burn - The End of the World!"

　"..." Cong Yu: ...

　So, it's a decision to burn...?

　……

　Is the limit of its combustion really that high?!

　Chapter 1157 The Giant Serpent (Part 2)

　Cong Yu himself does not intentionally burn, so it is indeed quite difficult for him to identify the source of energy for a certain move or style as the intention to burn.

　However, he really didn't expect this...

　Determination to burn > Power of faith...

　No, it can't be described as "greater than" as absurd as that.

　Say

　To be more precise... perhaps whether it's magic, the power of faith, or the burning determination, before discussing strength, we must first look at quality.

　The strength may vary from person to person, but it also depends on the user's level... just like how Su Ge would most likely be no match for Cong Yu before he became a god.

　However, this also raises a problem...

　As is well known, in order to learn Determination Reload or even Determination Burn, one must at least have Determination.

　But now it seems...

　What kind of people are those who have learned to make a decision?

　A self-destructing dynamo that, for the sake of its inner conviction, can unhesitatingly blow itself into an empty shell, neither human nor ghost.

　He was originally a stubborn person who was always thinking about "how to save the world", and later he became a super madman who was half-mad and half-crazy.

　A war maniac who doesn't care about his own life or death, and will try to test the enemy's strength to determine his own strength no matter what.

　While they may not all be good people, they are at least enlightened individuals who will move forward without hesitation and keep the road going.

　On the other hand, the giant snake... isn't that just a complete gimmick?!

　How did this guy, who always slacks off, with an extinction spell and a super AFK player, master the Will to Burn?

　"Why would your other self use such determination?"

　Cong Yu asked this question, looking up at the lance in Etzel's hand that burst forth with intense light, as if it were about to set the whole world ablaze.

　The beam of light from "Determined Burning - Final Apocalypse" shot straight towards the giant serpent's head, containing boundless determination and burning power...

　It undoubtedly struck the giant snake's head, then was simply pushed away by the motionless snake and flown to an unknown place.

　The giant serpent lowered its head slightly, and the crimson light in its eyes flickered. But it still didn't even glance at Etzel's attack.

　As always, this other entity, Source Darkness Apophis, simply stared at Cong Yu... nothing more.

　Cong Yu, however, seemed to have thought of something...

　"I know! It must be the 'Possibility of Mastering the Burning Determination' that's at work! Source Darkness Apophis!"

　Cong Yu spoke loudly.

　[Source Darkness Apophis: Huh?]

　Amidst Yuan An Apophis's questioning gaze, Cong Yu solemnly raised the blade in his hand: "I command you to immediately master the Burning Will!"

　[Source Darkness Apophis: Huh?!]

　[Source Darkness Apophis: I can't do it!]

　[Source Darkness Apophis: Even if it's a "spell of possibility," it still needs to be used according to basic rules, okay?!]

　"..." Just as I expected...

　Cong Yu sighed, then quickly looked at Etzel, who hadn't been able to participate in the battle... It's starting again, risking his life again.

　It fell from the sky, its body exploding with blackish-gray ash.

　With a sigh, Cong Yu reached out and caught the falling Etzel in a princess carry... then looked at the giant snake's head.

　Because the apocalypse was deflected, the giant serpent seems to be completely unharmed... or something like that?

　Cong Yu thought to herself, then narrowed her eyes.

　"look……"

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's outburst, Yuan An Apophis stated with certainty: "I see, Etzel is going to die again. So inhuman."

　"..." Indeed, it's time for some treatment.

　Cong Yu used the power of faith to quickly replenish Etzel's life force, but that wasn't what he wanted to say.

　"Let me show you the cracks on the giant snake... those are the black holes we drilled earlier."

　As he spoke, Cong Yu stared at the giant snake's eyes, which he had pierced, and the deep marks on its neck: "It's never been repaired, has it?"

　Whether they are magical girls, monsters, or any other race, they all possess extremely strong self-healing abilities.

　While it may not be considered bringing the dead back to life or healing the wounded, it's certainly to the point where "limb regeneration" is taken for granted as a normal occurrence.

　Cong Yu also gradually began to regard "high-speed recovery" as a normal ability that everyone should have, with each version update.

　The only difference is the degree of "strong" versus "slightly weak".

　but……

　The cracks on the giant snake's body, the wounds torn by Cong Yu and Etzel's attacks, were still clearly visible.

　The black mud slowly seeped from the wound and gradually shaped into sharp "thorns," but there was no sign of it healing.

　"see it?"

　Cong Yu said in a low voice, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "The giant serpent... it doesn't have the ability to repair itself."

　[Source Darkness Apophis: Hmm...]

　[Source Darkness Apophis: By the way, I don't have any either.]

　The voice of Yuan An Apophis echoed in Cong Yu's mind, carrying a thoughtful tone.

　Well, that makes sense now.

　Cong Yu recalled for a moment, then thought carefully for a second, and continued, "Neither Warcraft nor the Pokémon."

　Whether it's colorful magical beasts or little sprites that are "creations," they all seem to lack the power to heal themselves.
