But Wen Xishu was different; his mind was quite nimble:
"It indicates that the number of splits is in some ratio to the number of eyeballs."
"And when we first saw him, he already had many eyeballs in his eyes, but back then, he was all alone."
"So where did the other split bodies go?"
Enzo was puzzled, and instinctively responded:
"Were they killed?"
Wen Xishu shook his head and quickly swept out a clearing with an Ultimate Kick, although it was soon filled with more enemies.
He said:
"No, the more you kill, the more there will be! Once the killing starts, the splitting wonât stop. With the division now at this scale, itâs impossible to halt!"
"Thereâs only one way: donât kill them, drive them away."
"The tavernâs precise recruiting suggests thereâs indeed a way to restrain such splitting."
"But it certainly isnât through slaughter."
Enzo seemed to understand:
"Sealing?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Enzo, Iâll cover you. You think of a way to âlock them all up.â"
Enzo completely understood, smacked his foreheadâah, how could he forget that tactic?
For monsters that multiply when killed, they shouldnât be killed; they should be sealed away, shouldnât they?
The city was shattered, but in his painting, there were still many cities.
With a finite brush, constructing an infinite worldâthatâs the essence of an artist.
In that moment, Enzo had an idea.
"Indeed, I shouldnât summon things from the painting but rather think of a way to get things from outside into the painting!"
"I understand now!"
Wen Xishuâs combat power became extremely strong due to the upgrade of the Ultimate Kick.
Armor break, division, critical hit, stun...
These effects stacked up so much that even the little boy who held an absolute advantage found it hard to win in a short time.
Enzoâs painting style had always been sloppy, but this time he started to paint very meticulously.
Because he was about to challenge his own limits.
"Iâve never tried dragging monsters of this level into my painting. I donât know if my ability is enough!"
Wen Xishu suddenly laughed:
"Itâs enough, brother, itâs enough."
As his words fell, Enzo felt as if his physical exertion from painting vanished.
The energy core obtained in the second level began to bring him an endless supply of power.
Wen Xishu even thought: the appearance of the energy core might itself be a sign.
Getting an energy core that removes ability consumption in the second levelâdoes it hint at the presence of some infinite power later on?
Actually, thinking about it now, he really did see it.
The infinitely splitting little boy essentially embodies such an existence.
The split bodies were also shouting, "Kill... kill you all, kill everyone... then I can... find my true self, kill you!"
They seemed to possess similar intelligence.
Wen Xishu felt increasingly horrified.
This sentence might reveal the fate of this child. But clearly, it was not the time to explore boss storylines now.
Wen Xishuâs Ultimate Chain Kick was strong, but the number of enemies was truly overwhelming.
Later, these split bodies seemed to change their tactics.
When Wen Xishu unleashed the Ultimate Kick, they began fearlessly biting his leg.
Finally, a piece of flesh was bitten off by a split body.
Initially, Wen Xishu thought, this should be no big deal; his Self-healing Ability was enough to handle such injuries, and he just needed to be careful not to get bitten.
But soon, he realized something was wrong; that piece of flesh began to grow.
Clearly just a piece of meat from his leg, but the piece grew into a human shape.
Wen Xishu was shocked to discover that it was himself!
Only in a few seconds, a new version of himself grew out.
"Did I also gain this power?"
He thought of the weeds he had seen earlier.
He immediately understood; it wasnât that he gained the power of infinite splitting...
But in this area, he passively possessed this power.
Yet evidently, although that piece of meat grew into Wen Xishuâs form, the eerie part wasâwhat it shouted:
"Kill... kill you all, find myself!"
The things split out seemed not yet perfect, as if only by killing the original body could they become complete.
The split body Wen Xishu made an Ultimate Kick towards Wen Xishu, which startled him.
Power, speed, almost no difference from his own.
Ultimate Kick collided with Ultimate Kick.
Wen Xishu and split body Wen Xishu both took a step back.
"If I kill him, will there be more splits of me?"
At this moment, Wen Xishu remembered Scorpioâs words.
"In this area, you wonât die, but make sure not to court death, suffering fatal damage, otherwise really nasty things will happen."
Wen Xishu could now imagine countless "Wen Xishu" trying to kill himself.
Luckily, at this point, Enzo finally utilized the energy core and completed what was, to him, a rather overpowered painting.
The cage within the painting.
Imagination is the greatest weapon of an artist.
At this moment, what Enzo painted was an infinite space, as well as gates leading to the world inside the painting.
Many doors appeared around Wen Xishu and Enzo.
They seemed extremely ethereal, so much so that in the split bodiesâ eyes, they could see the figures of Wen Xishu and Enzo.
The split bodies continually launched attacks on Wen Xishu and Enzo, as usual.
But eerily, their figures rapidly began to be devoured.
