Chapter 151: Christianity will not disappear, so you can rest easy ()

~7 min read 1,341 words

"This is... my power?!"

Looking at the aura emerging from Lin Que's body, Sariel widened his eyes in disbelief.

"You only just ate my concept, yet you've already successfully analyzed it?"

"Can't be helped."

Lin Que shrugged: "As the only plan for the moment, if I didn't analyze it quickly, wouldn't I be letting you run away?"

This was the truth. Regarding an enemy like Sariel, Lin Que still felt a certain degree of trouble.

It was not that Sariel could threaten him, but that he had no way to easily slaughter the opponent.

Sariel had no physical defects in the conventional sense; whether his head or torso was blown apart, he could complete regeneration in the blink of an eye.

For Lin Que, who currently relied on physical output, there were only two ways to deal with the opponent.

Either use [Omniscience and Omnipotence] to peer into Sariel's past and future to find the root and weakness of his regeneration.

Or use [Ultimate Lifeform] to strike directly at the opponent's concept and deal true damage.

However, the moment he thought of these two points, Lin Que passed on the former.

Sariel had a two-digit being behind him; simple combat was one thing.

If he accidentally met the gaze of that Holy Son while peering into Sariel's past and future, it would be equivalent to self-destruction.

Having gone through so much trouble to disguise himself, it was better not to act like a clown unless necessary.

And after excluding [Omniscience and Omnipotence], Lin Que's only remaining means was [Ultimate Lifeform].

But even the seemingly useful [Ultimate Lifeform] could not be activated easily.

Devouring an enemy's concept was already equivalent to engaging in a battle at the conceptual level with the devoured one at their peak.

If one could not beat the devoured one into losing combat capability on the reality level, it was equivalent to fighting on two fronts simultaneously.

To prevent a flip, Lin Que had previously always beaten enemies until they lost combat capability before using [Ultimate Lifeform] to devour them.

But this time was different; Sariel's regeneration ability was simply too troublesome.

Even if Lin Que left not a single cell of Sariel remaining, the opponent could still appear out of thin air.

Strictly speaking, this had already surpassed the realm of regeneration; calling it resurrection would not be an exaggeration.

"To be honest, this time I really owe it to you for giving me the opportunity."

After completely digesting the portion of 'Sariel' he had devoured, Lin Que looked at the opposite North North North Side with some emotion.

"If you hadn't deliberately exposed a flaw to give me a chance to feed in order to make me relax and be careless, I really don't think I would have been able to keep you."

"And I only devoured a part of the concept."

An ominous premonition gradually rose in Sariel's heart: "How much did you learn from my memory?"

"Well~ only a very small part, but for me, it's already enough."

After all, in the intelligence provided by White Yaksha, the descriptions regarding Sariel were already quite extensive.

Lin Que's understanding of Sariel was only missing that crucial part the opponent had hidden.

If it were before, even if he devoured a portion of Sariel's concept through [Ultimate Lifeform], Lin Que could only rely on luck to obtain information.

But now, with [Omniscience and Omnipotence], there was no need to be so troublesome.

Lin Que could not easily peer into Sariel's past and future to prevent meeting the gaze of a two-digit being.

But in the next second that was about to arrive, choosing the successful path from those infinite possibilities was still not a problem.

Combined, this was the reason why Lin Que could hit the mark in one go and obtain key information by devouring only a small part of Sariel.

"I was wondering why your regeneration ability was so strong; I didn't expect you to have two main bodies."

Scanning his surroundings, Lin Que's body suddenly disappeared from where he stood, then immediately reappeared.

But unlike when he left, this time when he appeared, he was holding another Sariel in his hand.

"How about it? Now that the other you is also in my hands, do you still have the confidence to run away?"

"...... It seems you were indeed not bluffing."

Seeing the other self dragged out by Lin Que, the expression of the Sariel standing before Lin Que turned completely ugly.

That's right, whether it was the Spear of Longinus or his four-digit breaking strength, those were only his trump cards on the surface.

As for the trump card Sariel had always hidden in the dark, it was his other main body that was hiding.

His two main bodies shared power; as long as one North North North Side was in a complete state, the other North North North Side would permanently be in a peak state.

Added to that was the light-dark regeneration he mastered after comprehending light and dark, which was why he could recover even after being beaten until not a scrap remained.

According to Sariel's plan, he had originally intended to use the No. 1 main body to drag Lin Que down, while the No. 2 main body would go to crack the Gift Game, thereby completing his escape.

As a result, he didn't expect that the portion of the concept Lin Que devoured happened to contain this information.

Not only did he find the hidden No. 2 main body through the power taken from him, but he even grabbed it instantly.

"There's no other way; I can only gamble on it."

"Gamble on it?"

Pop~! Pop~!

Two crisp cracking sounds rang out, and Lin Que's body appeared behind Sariel's No. 1 main body.

Grabbing a head in each hand, he caught both of Sariel's main bodies simultaneously, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Although it is still regeneration at the level of creating something from nothing, as long as a certain part of both main bodies is injured at the same time, the regeneration speed will be significantly reduced."

"Having lost this trump card for protracted combat, do you really think you are still qualified to gamble with me?"

"How is this possible?!"

Both of Sariel's main bodies widened their eyes in surprise simultaneously, looking at Lin Que in disbelief.

Although he was forcibly grabbed by Lin Que, his two main bodies should have had their power increased after approaching within a certain range.

The current him was clearly in a theoretically peak state, yet he still could not detect Lin Que's movement.

"Could it be... the speed you showed during the battle before was not your limit?!"

"Is it very strange?"

Lin Que tilted his head: "You were able to keep a regeneration ability as an ace at the beginning, so isn't it very reasonable for me to keep a billion speed aces?"

"...... How about we stop here?"

Sariel was completely convinced this time and gave up the idea of fighting Lin Que.

"Compared to Raziel, I am the most important existence for Christianity in the lower levels."

"As long as you let me go, I can promise on behalf of the Christian North North North Side to stop here and no longer pursue your faults."

"Pursue my faults? What strange things are you saying."

Smashing the torsos of Raziel's two regenerated main bodies, Lin Que smiled with a smirk on his face.

"Christianity is the murderer that destroyed [Arcadia]; now it is I who am pursuing your faults."

Sariel's heart sank: "It could have stopped; do you really want to fight Christianity to the end?"

"Fight Christianity to the end? That's not quite it."

Pitch-black shadows followed Lin Que's palms, covering both of Sariel's main bodies.

Just as the terrifying, excruciating pain came from the depths of his soul, Lin Que's final words reached his ears.

"Christianity will not disappear; I will become the new 'Christianity', so you can rest easy."
