Chapter 223: The Art of Humanity

Breathing heavily, the pungent smell of blood mixed with the sweet scent of cream, cloying enough to make one nauseous.

Zhang Tie regained his composure, gulping down a mouthful of saliva.

It could be said he is broad-minded and has strong acceptance.

The scene before him was shocking to the extreme limit of human endurance.

Wen Ya's face turned pale; unlike Zhang Tie's feeble mental strength.

In her mental perception, the scene before her was filled with an aura of both holiness and evil.

These two completely opposite feelings almost drove one to collapse.

She forced herself to steady her mind and asked Chu An:

"What is the Buddha Son's conception diagram?"

"Do you mean this... thing?"

Unable to comprehend, she could not connect the female corpse, the boy, and the Buddha Son's conception.

One is a brutal hellish scene, the other a symbol filled with religious meaning.

Chu An walked calmly to the boy's side, carefully lifting the upper half of the boy's skull with both hands:

"Look."

"This is his mother's."

As the skull was lifted, the soft, slightly trembling brain tissue was exposed to the air.

"The paste-like substance in the woman's hand is the child's brain matter, while inside the child's skull is her mother's brain tissue."

"This exchange symbolizes wisdom and self-reflection."

"A novel angle, it reexpresses the meaning of nurturing."

"It symbolizes the Buddha Son's 'I think' and offering."

"Just..."

Chu An, as if appreciating a painting, stroked his chin and gave his final evaluation:

"It lacks too much detail, and the expression is too blunt...."

Zhang Tie couldn't swallow it in one gulp, his face grim.

"Damn, this is a pervert! Captain Lin, what the hell is this monster?!"

Lin An let out a quiet sigh, gesturing for everyone to follow behind him:

"It's hard to explain in a single sentence..

A memory flashed.

Special creature: Immortal Asura.

As a monster that in a past life nearly destroyed half of Wangjiang Province.

Its fame is great, surpassing even a peak third-rank mutant.

It's not because of the monster's strength.

But because of its brutal methods.

If the Bloody Witch is only somewhat known in Linjiang City, her means of killing players can be considered cruel.

But as the once-notorious Immortal Asura, its horror can only be described as hell and nightmare.

Before it was completely eradicated, it once built a stupa from human corpses, i. e., a seven-story tower.

Using skin as canopy, bones as pillars, eyes as inlays, flesh and blood as foundation, hair as carved beams.

The 'art' it created almost always used human organs as materials.

It truly treated living people as timber and stone.

Lin An had once seen someone post information about a monster hunt in the chat channel.

According to rumors.

At that time, after the monster slaughtered a medium-sized Safe Zone, it habitually stayed in place and began creating its 'art' works.

Thus it attracted a large number of players to hunt it.

And in the final hunt led by third-rank Awakened Ones, more than half of the Awakened Ones who reached the destination suffered mental collapse.

Having seen the monster's 'art,' their minds shattered.

Fortunately, the hunt went relatively smoothly, successfully sealing the monster.

Later participants in the operation, to avoid causing panic, deleted all information about that battle.

Thus, what exactly the Immortal Asura created in its final moments remains unknown.

Only some vaguely suspect it might be related to Buddha statues.

Steady steps, Chu An followed behind with a calm expression, while Zhang Tie harbored many questions.

"Captain Lin? Are we going to look for that monster?"

"I can tell, someone is surely luring us here..."

He isn't afraid of fighting, but thinking about how strange this monster is, there's also someone secretly watching.

Going deeper in, isn't that just being a fool?

Lin An shook his head and spoke slowly:

"We have no time to waste."

"According to the information Chu An provided, the nearest military region is a two-day journey away."

"Counting the round trip and the time to load and unload trucks..."

"At least six days."

"This doesn't even count the time we might lose if we clash with the military region."

Therefore, there is not enough time.

But we must get our hands on the weapons and equipment.

Not only does training take time, but familiarizing oneself with the weapons also takes time.

Expecting base personnel to be able to use them right away is completely unrealistic.

Zhang Tie opened his mouth, but could only lower his head in silence.

He knew that in a few days they would have to carry out a compulsory mission.

According to Lin Dui, it's a dungeon mission involving some kind of insect.

Not going means being wiped out, with no room for choice.

Lin An didn't pay attention to Zhang Tie's worries.

After all, this monster is probably the strangest one they have encountered so far.

If it weren't for the information about the Indestructible Asura, he would have already led everyone away.

Weapons and equipment are important, but life is more important.

Indestructible Asura is just a nickname, a title.

It stems from the monster's fondness for creating Buddhist-themed 'artworks,' but essentially it has little to do with Buddhism.

At least in the information from his past life, nothing more was mentioned.

The monster's strength is not strong, especially its attack power.

According to the information from his past life, what is truly terrifying about the Indestructible Asura is its regenerative ability.

It can withstand any damage, including nuclear explosions.

The same means of damage often become completely ineffective after being used against it several times.

And the monster's strength will therefore increase.

In short, it cannot be killed, and the more you fight it, the stronger it gets.

Even if, by luck, it is killed by a burst of damage, it will instantly revive on any corpse.

Of course, under such an abnormal ability, it naturally has a weakness.

Otherwise, this monster wouldn't just be slaughtering the Safe Zone; it would be destroying a nation.

The danger level is not horror level, but death level.

The weakness is deadly.

Although the Indestructible Asura has gained an almost undying characteristic, it has no special attack methods, relying solely on physical strength.

Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to directly trap it and lock it up.

As long as we don't inflict damage that lets it increase its strength, with its power it cannot possibly escape.

So, in his past life, this monster had been sealed many times.

But due to the monster's unique value, each time it is sealed by a faction, it inevitably brings bloodshed.

It is like blood bait in the sea; each time it appears, it draws countless factions to contend for it.

Therefore, the faction where the Indestructible Asura resides will periodically erupt in large-scale battles.

This also leads to the occurrence of accidents.

After several consecutive uses of heavy weapons and tactical missiles,

its strength continually increased in the blast's aftermath, to the point that afterward almost no one could seal it.

Fortunately, the Awakened Ones in other war zones realized that if the Indestructible Asura were left to grow, the entire Huaxia would be in danger.

Working together, they completely sealed it and sank it into the river to prevent further trouble.

Therefore, Lin An isn't too worried about the danger of this trip.

Indestructible Asura, if nothing unexpected happens, is still quite weak now.

If we can successfully seal it...
