Chapter 144

Carrie currently looks very powerful, suspected of having telekinesis, able to easily crush and knead iron cars.

Not to mention that giant moth, suspected of being a Maya deity, with strong recovery, strong defense, and the ability to create illusions; while its abilities seem singular with no world-destroying moves, its base stats are actually very high, making it very difficult to deal with!

Can I, as I am now, handle these two guys?

Counting the techniques he had learned so far, Louis felt it was a bit risky; one-on-one would be fine, but one-on-two? Not really.

The Poisonous Fire Art, which usually serves as his trump card, could have an effect on the moth, but the effect is average—or rather, the toughness of the opponent's soul far exceeds that of an evil spirit, so the burning of the poisonous fire only brings pain and cannot burn it to death in a few seconds; Carrie has little sin on her, so it has no effect.

The most commonly used Fire-Manipulation Art might be able to contend with Carrie after receiving magic power enhancement, but it would likely have little effect on this moth.

As for other techniques, after excluding most of the folk methods and auxiliary techniques, only a few might be useful.

The Divine Horse Movement Art has a good effect, allowing him to speed up his movement, attacking and retreating freely.

The Blood Curse Art, Beast-Creation Art, and Demoncraft might also come in handy.

Louis had a plan in mind.

Actually, if he weren't in a standoff with this moth, his Yin Spirit could completely go out of his body to forcibly wake Carrie up.

But obviously, he can't do that now, so he should just be clean and decisive; he won't seek to defeat both of them, but rather stall for time, and after Madison and the others leave, he will activate his Hidden Arts and retreat.

Leave the mess to the American government.

As for accidents, Louis isn't too worried; no matter what, he still has the substitute doll as a safety net, so he's not afraid!

At this time, the dazed Carrie had her black hair dancing wildly; before her eyes, she couldn't see anything clearly, only one strange monster after another, and they were attempting to kill her!

Therefore, I must kill them!

Hum!

The massive telekinesis was unleashed once again.

The earth began to tremble, and cracks appeared on the ground.

Taking this opportunity, Louis threw Madison to the driver, Lunca, and Alan, who had already climbed up, and made a gesture; the driver, possessing professional gangster instincts, understood immediately.

He and Lunca supported Madison and retreated rapidly; although Alan hesitated, he realized he wouldn't be of much use on this kind of battlefield, so he also began to retreat.

Carrie's eyes flashed, veins bulging, and two steel bars flew out like javelins.

Boom!

Scorching flames rose from the ground, turning into a barrier to block the steel bars.

Louis stood at the very front, his black clothes flickering in the light of the fire; around him, clusters of orange fireballs the size of human heads condensed and rotated, sparks flying everywhere, turning into a wheel of fire.

Creak, creak—

A teeth-grinding bending sound rang out; the ground actually began to flip over on a large scale, and the steel bars inside the concrete began to bend, as if they were being kneaded into a ball like a child's toy, beginning to roll on the ground.

Rumble!

Watching the ten-meter-diameter reinforced concrete stone ball rolling over, Louis swallowed hard. Fuck, this ability is so strong, I want it; I hope my Yin Spirit can have this kind of expressive power in the future.

Then, a white light flashed and vanished from his hand, and twenty-some orange fireballs converged; a fireball nearly ten meters in diameter smashed out like a cannonball.

Bang!

The two collided.

The flames exploded rapidly, and rolling heat waves swept toward the surroundings in waves.

But unfortunately, Louis's fireball ultimately couldn't block the giant stone ball reinforced by telekinesis; it bore the impact of the explosion and continued to crush forward.

At this moment, a gale rose behind Louis, and two thick gray claws suddenly grabbed at Louis's head.

It's the Moth God!

This guy launched a sneak attack!

Louis, however, had a calm expression; his five senses were sharp, and he had been guarding against this guy from the start.

However, a pincer attack...

Veins bulged on Louis's legs, and the phantom souls of two spirited horses lit up around his calves; in an instant, he dodged between the gray claws and the giant stone, his movements as elegant as ice skating.

Bang!!

The gray claws met the giant stone, and the gray sharp claws easily pierced into the stone, but the stone was of such massive volume.

The next second, the Moth God let out a sharp roar, and the giant stone crushed straight over it; creak, creak, creak—even the Moth God's hard body, which had blocked Louis's attacks several times, was crushed into the soil at this moment, even emitting an unpleasant squeezing sound.

Crack, crack, crack!!

Louis, having dodged away, saw this and his eyes lit up, thinking of something, but seeing Carrie's gaze look over, he still immediately used his Hidden Arts, lying flat on the ground and hiding in the lawn.

Presence lowered, soul fluctuations restrained.

Carrie scanned the surroundings; the monsters closest to her were gone, but there were still more not far away, many more—destroy, destroy everything!

The dazed illusions before her eyes continued, and she stretched out both hands.

Vast telekinesis spread, fluctuated, and trembled rapidly!

Bang, bang, bang!!!

The fire hydrants along the entire street burst simultaneously, water columns shooting into the sky; accompanied by the heat evaporation, they impacted the clouds, and rainbows, some short and some long, actually appeared.

Carrie stood in the sky, watching below, like a deity.

However, this was a deity specialized in destruction; people living in the nearby neighborhood had long noticed the situation here. Although this apartment building was in a relatively remote part of the block, with such a big commotion—explosions and roars—it was hard not to hear it.

After all, they weren't blind or deaf.

And the scene they saw through the windows only made them feel their worldview collapsing; although this country is a religious one, most people only believe in religion in name, and the scene before them was truly devastating!

"God, is this the devil?"

"The Lord says..."

"Fuck, is this the police station? Fuck! You guys..."

"Ah, ah, ah! Help!"

"Run! Run!"

"..."

Total chaos.

And the moment Carrie turned her gaze over, everyone watched by her eyes became nervous; although they were at a distance and couldn't see what the devil in the sky looked like, being watched still made them feel an inexplicable trembling—that was the body's instinctive fear, warning them that death was approaching!

For a time, silence fell.

On the other end of the phone, the police officer's inquiry became exceptionally loud, "Hello? Hello? What's happening?"

Until a trembling voice came from the other end of the phone.

"He is looking at me."

Snap!

The phone hung up abruptly.

The signal was lost.

Louis, lying in the lawn, watched this scene with much emotion; for mortals, this appearance was probably enough to be called a god, right?

However, it was limited to this; after all, those living near this remote apartment were all fools of "happy education" with low awareness.

If it were a cultivator like Louis, he would only feel that the opponent's strength was powerful; as for whether to call it a god, it probably wouldn't qualify.

A local god, maybe.

However, even so, on a purely physical level, it was enough to pick him up and beat him, unless his Yin Spirit left his body to start from the soul level.

Louis didn't feel discouraged by this; after all, he had just broken through, and he didn't have many Yin Spirit Realm techniques yet; he could still develop in the future and would sooner or later be able to reach this level, or even go further.

Wait, the soul level.

He couldn't attend to it earlier because he was being attacked from both sides, but now, if he let his Yin Spirit leave his body...

Louis thought of the scene he had just seen; perhaps the Moth God didn't truly control Carrie—otherwise, Carrie should have stopped just now instead of letting the stone ball crush over.

It's worth a try.

But he had to take a look at that Moth God guy first.

Since this guy is a Maya deity and also devours the souls of human offerings, it likely possesses soul-attack methods; he needs to be careful and cautious, not careless.

Louis looked up slightly at the giant stone.

He saw that at the edge of the giant stone, a gray claw had already emerged and was digging hard; soil and mud were being quickly shoveled away piece by piece, and it looked like it was about to break free.

Good fellow, a down-and-out deity digging dirt online?

What a pathetic god~

Sure enough, the opponent was probably just a small local god, not a true or great god.

Now that the opponent was about to break free, how to verify his hypothesis? Louis turned his gaze to the water from the fire hydrant that was drizzling down.

Got it.

Louis's eyes lit up.

Left Path techniques are complex and very demanding of a person's combat intelligence—how to adapt to circumstances and combine techniques.

Coincidentally, Louis is not bad in this regard.

Magic power circulated slightly.

The Moth God, which had already crawled out more than halfway, shook its head; ever since some things happened a long time ago that it didn't know about—civilization destroyed, sacrifices lost, power inexplicably weakened—and it sealed itself in an alien space to survive, it hadn't been this miserable in a long time.

The wisdom that had been worn away while sealed in the alien space box still felt anger; it wanted to eat this woman who sent out a delicious feeling!!

But just when it was about to act.

It discovered that beside it, above a small puddle, a figure had appeared at some point, vivid and lifelike, as if a living person.

A living person?

When did they come?

The next second.

Carrie, who had been wantonly scraping the ground, pulling up utility poles, and causing ground fissures, suddenly froze and turned her head to look at the "living person" who had appeared beside the Moth God.

"Monster, die!"

Hum!!

Dozens of utility poles twisted and kneaded together, turning into a spiral long spear, which shot out under the reinforcement of Carrie's telekinesis.

In an instant, the air even emitted a sonic boom.

Bang!!!!

The terrifying spiral long spear pierced the Moth God, which had just broken free, in an instant.

When telekinesis, wrapped in human-made steel, collided with the skin of an old-era local deity.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment; Louis stared intently. Sure enough, his guess was correct—he had arrived just in time to interrupt the Moth God's illusion; the Moth God hadn't had time to fully control Carrie, only driving her into a frenzy and making her ignore it and not launch attacks against it.

Now, he had used the water Carrie created to cast the Illusory Light Art, directly launching an attack in the direction of the Moth God; being this close, it had to suffer the aftermath of the attack.

However, he hadn't anticipated that Carrie had such a move; under these circumstances, could this Moth God block it?

If it can block even this, should I run away immediately?

The speed of thought is fast, but Louis thought too much, so much so that by the time he thought about whether to run away.

The result was already out.

Crackle! Crackle!

One utility pole after another disintegrated and fell at this moment, colliding with the ground and making a crackling sound.

But Louis breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Because more than half of the Moth God's body had been blown away, leaving only a head and a small part of the upper body connected to a tentacle-like arm; four-fifths of it was gone directly.

A large amount of pink blood gushed from the severed part, and pink blood mist permeated the air; clearly, it hadn't fully withstood the blow just now, only barely saving its life, with even its body blown into blood mist.

Snap!

The Moth God fell down; its ability to quickly recover for Amber didn't seem to work as well on itself.

The tentacles grabbed slightly, trying to stand up several times but failing, and that face covered by a membrane opened its mouth wide, as if screaming silently.

A god, reduced to this state.

It is simply miserable.

Louis finally let go of his worries at this moment and turned his gaze to Carrie, who was like a deity in the sky.

Yin Spirit leaves the body!

A phantom figure detached from his body, light and airy; with a tap of his toes, he flew into the sky.

And Carrie, who was still being influenced by the illusion and going crazy, couldn't see Louis's Yin Spirit at all; Louis crashed straight into her.

Hum!

The blood circulating at high speed in Carrie's body emitted a faint power, wanting to block Louis outside.

But Louis was a professional after all, and the Yin Spirit was a new stage of the soul, not something that mere bloodline instinct could block; therefore, Louis still got in.

The world of the soul is wonderful.

Most people's souls reside within their physical bodies, and the body and soul are closely related and interconnected.

And Louis came this time to resolve the dream illusion, not to possess her body, so he didn't go to seize the body but compressed himself, shaped like a ray of light, straight into Carrie's Mud-Ball Palace.

Here.

It was filled with all sorts of Carrie's mental secrets.

Louis directly used his own power and began to break through quickly.

Bullying? Die!

Exclusion? Die!

Oppression? Die!

Ignoring? Die!

Family oppression? Die!

Under his brutal force, he broke through dozens of obstacles in a row, and the entire Mud-Ball Palace was tottering.

Finally, he arrived at the last hurdle.

But it made Louis pause briefly.

It was another version of himself, surrounded by a group of beauties, holding them left and right, and still tossing and turning on a big bed, while Carrie was hiding in a dark corner biting her fingernails.

???

Holy shit? I am actually her biggest obsession?

Are you kidding me!

How am I supposed to break this?

After a brief contemplation, Louis decided to destroy his kin for the sake of righteousness, killing himself off, and incidentally killing those beauties too.

Sigh, sorry, other me, who told you to be just a fantasy.

Bang!

Louis descended from the sky, his intense mental power killing himself, and he also destroyed that group of beauties while he was at it.

Finally, he reached out to Carrie in the corner.

He squeezed out a kind and sunny smile.

"This is all a dream, wake up."

No choice; having seen Carrie's frenzied state, he couldn't even look at her with his original attitude.

Carrie tremblingly placed her hand in Louis's.

But the next second.

A massive force came, and Carrie hugged him completely and tackled him onto that big bed.

She muttered to herself.

"Since it's a dream, then... doing a little something... should be fine, right?"

Immediately, like a female knight, she forced an unlock!

Louis was stunned for an instant, but he immediately reacted and began to seize the initiative.

Alas, this was her home field, and her soul power was far stronger than his; combined, the pathetic Louis couldn't struggle at all.

He could only passively engage in the great cause of unlocking.

And don't say, this new lock of Carrie's is a different style from Emma's—green, shy, yet forcing herself to stay calm.

It has a unique charm.
