Chapter 1603: Chapter 1601 Victory and Defeat

[Mad Laugh]

A unique trait exclusive to Han Dong,

Even if you search through the myriad worlds controlled by the Black Tower, you will not find a second “mad laugh trait.”

Originating from ‘Clown – Pennywise’, recognized by the Black Tower as an ‘out-of-control attribute’ mad laugh factor,

It complements the ‘madness’ for seeking knowledge deep within Han Dong’s heart and combines with the manic laughter attribute of the Scarlet Count,

Ultimately accepting the “Body of Pennywise” to obtain the ultimate derivative – [Mad Laugh].

Even Green, as the first element, showed endless interest in mad laugh,

Even in that center of chaos,

That supreme abyss filled with endless madness couldn’t find a similar kind of madness.

Here.

With the Swollen Doctor’s strategic simulation, to defeat Pope here… the only choice is to hide the “mad laugh” in the darkest “hidden card,” as an unexpected trump card that even Pope couldn’t predict.

Present the infinitely possible G-virus as an “open card” to Pope.

Meanwhile, use the Count as the visible bait in this plan and the crucial “signal point.”

Before undergoing G-mutation,

First, sever the right arm in front of Pope, handing it over entirely to the Count… the scene of blood soaking into the ground will naturally linger in Pope’s mind, keeping him alert.

When most of Pope’s attention is drawn to the out-of-control G-virus,

The Count consolidates his body, and due to concerns about the Holy Sword, Pope will inevitably spread all remaining attention to deal with the Count.

When that moment comes, it’s time to reveal the “hidden card.”

The Count uses himself as the signal source,

Tearing the corners of his mouth, laughing wildly.

Han Dong, whose mind is far beyond its limit, deeply comatose, and even on the verge of collapse,

Is forcefully awakened under the influence of the mad laugh factor.

The Swollen Doctor also injects all cerebral essence into Han Dong at this moment.

“Lord… the rest is in your hands now.”

The doctor, with exhausted resources, cannot maintain his true state and automatically returns to the brain.

At this moment.

A clear and bright G-eye opens on the chaotic, disordered surface of the flesh, overseeing the situation, perfectly aligned with the final scenario of the strategic simulation.

“Did we succeed! Next is the final step…”

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh!

The chaotic rotten flesh surrounding Pope starts to wriggle,

Tentacles covered in grey spots drill out from the surface,

Simultaneously shooting at Pope from all directions… However, among these tentacles, there seems to be one special tentacle shining with starlight.

Faced with this sudden situation, Pope immediately activates defense mode.

“Hmm?

Real-time simulation… the trait of the Old King Grey?”

When he tries to block the tentacles with “space repulsion” by expanding the void realm,

He discovers that these tentacles with grey spots are surprisingly mimicking the void trait, significantly reducing the effect of repulsion.

Like being stuck in a quagmire, the tentacles are slowly infiltrating.

Left with no choice.

Pope can only once again wield the lightsaber, personally cutting off these tentacles.

However… faintly.

Pope senses a very subtle abnormal scent, and in his star-studded mind, some unusual cosmic rays also appear.

This feeling occurs rarely but cannot be ignored.

Quietly reactivating the “Revelation Crystallizer” within him… swinging the lightsaber with one hand and providing spatial assistance with the other, while secretly guarding against possible crises.

Buzz buzz buzz! Lightsaber slashes continuously.

As a large number of grey-spotted tentacles infiltrate the void realm, being cut off by Pope one by one.

One tentacle, mixed among the group, shoots towards Pope at the fastest speed,

This shining starlight tentacle, completely unaffected by the “void realm” repulsion, approaches as close as ten centimeters to Pope.

Before being cut by the lightsaber, the void special trait contained within it rapidly triggers

“Contact teleportation”

Han Dong also holds the ability of void, though to Pope, he may just seem like an outsider… but if he could use this move at a critical moment, it could close the distance to victory.

“It’s bad!”

When Pope realizes something is wrong, it’s already a step too late.

“Contact teleportation”

The essence is to connect a point through void tentacles and then teleport the main tentacle to the position of this [point].

Currently.

The entity corresponding to the tentacle is this mass of proliferated flesh filling the arena, belonging to Han Dong.

– Teleport activation –

All bodies proliferated due to the G-virus are squeezed into the center of the arena due to teleportation.

Because the “teleport point” is located within the void realm, spatial repulsion has no effect at all.

The chaotic, swollen G-virus flesh instantly engulfs Pope, wrapping him within Han Dong’s body.

Field withdrawal

Even so.

Pope, at the last moment, retracts the void realm to the body surface, creating a surface film to prevent the flesh from devouring him… but his mobility is greatly reduced, and the energy reserves within him aren’t enough to destroy such a massive amount of proliferated flesh.

At the same time.

The faceless skull floating among the flesh also drifts to the count’s side.

“Count, lend me your final arm of strength!”

[Head replacement]

Directly replacing the humanoid body with the right arm-derived of the Count,

Swish! The holy sword is simultaneously summoned in the palm…

The next moment

The blood-dripping holy sword is already poised at Pope’s neck… a mere horizontal slice away from severing the head of the son of void.

However.

Han Dong can clearly capture any slight movements of Pope’s entire body through the hidden G-eye within the flesh.

Among them,

Pope’s left hand, hidden behind his back, is emitting an extremely sinister aura.

Five fingers are completely twisted and deformed, bending backward… a hair’s breadth from being fully bent.

“Has he anticipated the abnormality in advance, deliberately holding back? Pope, truly formidable!”

“What a clever method~ Nicholas… next, it depends on who is faster.

However, before that, I have a question I want you to know.

[Is this game] really worth you fighting to such an extent? The treasures hidden here might hold value similar to the demon book, but is it truly necessary?”

Pope still remembers the battle scenes before,

Where Han Dong’s main body suffered erosion from the demon book, even when his soul was extensively pierced, even when both legs were completely torn, he still crawled forward.

He also acknowledges that he fell into Han Dong’s [trap].

“It’s necessary…

I can’t afford to lose, not because I can’t accept losing, but because I cannot lose.”

Han Dong did not explain his reasons, only looked at Pope with equally resolute eyes.

Their gazes locked, persisted for five full minutes, as if each saw another universe’s starry sky in the other’s eyes.

Suddenly.

The proliferated flesh filling the venue retracts entirely into Han Dong’s body, the G-virus stabilizing and lifting the zombie state.

Pope also withdraws the demon book, raising his right hand to signal concession.

Before the referee could announce the result, Pope had already turned back to leave the arena, saying in a low voice:

“The next time you wield the sword, remember to add more killing intent… at least make the act convincing.

Don’t think with that, I will disregard my concerns about you and your connection with Green.

See you at Mi University.”
