Chapter 783: War! Crisis! Turning Point!

War! Crisis! Turning Point!

No sooner had the words fallen than countless living tentacles surged from 0221's front. They intertwined to form two giant hands; one grabbed toward Cheng Shi, while the other dragged 0221, slowly approaching the trunk of the Bizarre Mother Tree. It seemed that before "splicing" with Cheng Shi, he intended to merge with this Mother Tree first.

Cheng Shi's expression sank. Facing the giant hands that had locked down every direction in front of him, he retreated three feet with a snap of his fingers, dodging the sharp edge of the giant hands. Then, he kicked off the finger formed by the tentacles, shattering countless tentacles with raw force, and used the recoil to charge fiercely toward 0221, who was moving in mid-air.

At this moment, he was like a hunting falcon, with only the prey 0221 in his eyes.

At the same time, Wang Mou also moved. Shocked by Cheng Shi's compact offensive, this assassin of 【Truth】 finally regained his senses. With a solemn expression, he followed Cheng Shi's attack rhythm, leaping through the omnipresent shadows to charge straight into the sky, arriving in front of 0221 in the blink of an eye.

A short blade from a Peerless Concentric Dagger suddenly slashed out from the shadow plane, stabbing straight at the throat of the main body.

The Doctor's assassination angle was extremely tricky. He did not choose the bloated, fat half of the body as his target, fearing that the abnormal fat would affect his judgment of human weaknesses, yet he still underestimated his own main body.

Although 0221's other half looked like skin and bones, its hardness was almost no different from the skin and muscle of a mummy blessed by 【Decay】. The tip of the Doctor's blade sparked blindingly against 0221's withered neck. The moment they touched, a thick force of 【Decay】 began to erode and spread along the Doctor's dagger toward his arm.

Wang Mou's expression changed, and he turned to leave, but at this moment, Cheng Shi arrived.

The Pointer Warrior did nothing—he didn't even pay attention to 0221, who had victory in his grasp—but instead grabbed the leg of the Doctor, who was about to escape into the shadows, and dragged Wang Mou, who was preparing to change positions, out of the shadows.

"???"

Why was he attacking his own side?

Wang Mou was stunned, but what made him even more stunned was yet to come!

Cheng Shi offered no explanation; he just snorted, grabbed the Doctor's leg, and threw him backward fiercely. Then, he himself lunged forward, letting the opponent's blade tip graze his arm. Just as the blade tip, stained with the power of 【Decay】, broke the skin of his arm, a more vigorous and pure force of 【Decay】 exploded, transforming Cheng Shi's left arm into a withered, emaciated 【Decay】 hand just like 0221's!

The dignity of the Faded One took effect once again at this moment!

Now, the two scholars present were both bewildered, and 0221's pupils shrank as he laughed heartily.

"Hehehe—

Good, good, good! No wonder He took a fancy to you; so you have also spliced 【Decay】!

Cheng Shi, you are very good. Now let me see where you have hidden the 【Prosperity】 you spliced!"

No sooner had the words fallen than a gap suddenly split open in the giant hand formed by the fusion of tentacles beneath 0221's feet. Immediately after, countless figures shot out from within.

They were "players" with fierce looks in their eyes. It seemed they had all been brainwashed by 0221. Cheng Shi had assumed this was another creation of some inhumane 【Truth】 experiment, but when he saw countless familiar figures mixed into the army charging at him... Li Zhi, Wang Weijin, Yan Chun... he realized these were not players, but...

0221's army of slices!

The opponent had released all his slices.

In that instant, countless talent attacks swept toward Cheng Shi, who was close at hand, like a flood. The Wall of True Knowledge blocked his retreat, the Shadow Lock locked down the surrounding space, tentacles harmonized between blades and guns, longbows fell like a forest of arrows, and various debuffs were crazily stacked upon his body. Given the intensity of this offensive, even if the Warrior was brave today, he would have to take a heavy hit.

Indeed, if Cheng Shi were only a Warrior today, he might truly stumble, but don't forget, he was not only favored by 【Fate】 now; 【Time】 had also shown him Her favor. Therefore, Cheng Shi was not panicked at all in his heart, because the Pointer Knight's ability had already allowed him to find the best moment to break the situation. He only needed to use "Vitality" to withstand the initial firepower suppression, and he would soon be able to sweep all these slice-trash away.

But just at this moment, an accident that neither side expected occurred!

A giant sword flowing with blood and fire suddenly flew out from the slice formation, sticking into the air in front of Cheng Shi before any other attack. Immediately after, the giant sword "clicked," seemingly unlocking some kind of seal, and then a fire that blotted out the sky ignited before Cheng Shi's eyes.

The scorching flames instantly ignited in the sky, and terrifying tongues of fire grew crazily like branches toward the surroundings. In this instant, the spectacular scene of the tentacles turning into a giant tree was staged once again, only this time, what composed the giant tree was no longer the newborns of 【Birth】, but the flames of 【War】!

In a flash, an "apricot tree" burning with world-ending fire "bloomed" beside Cheng Shi, burning all the incoming attacks to nothing.

Cheng Shi was "saved," rescued by a giant fire.

Watching this scene, Cheng Shi's eyelids twitched. He knew who had come, but he hadn't expected the direction the person came from to be within 0221's army of slices!

No, Brother Hu, how did you get over there!

Wait, hiss—he seemed like he should have been there!

Because he was never any God-Chosen Grand Marshal of 【War】; he was the God-Chosen of 【Chaos】, a comrade of different blood who always made people unable to distinguish his camp!

And as the player who had walked the furthest distance on the path of 【Chaos】, he should appear in the place that made people feel the most chaotic!

That's right, the owner of the giant sword was none other than Hu Wei.

Ever since he shattered the jar in the experimental field and sent the Bizarre Mother Tree into complete madness, this Grand Marshal had not been idle. While the Big Cat Mo Li was in a standoff with the giant tumor, and while Cheng Shi and Wang Mou were "negotiating" with 0221, Hu Wei, relying on a talent that made people unable to detect any abnormality, wove left and right through the sea of tentacles. He soon completely blended into it, moving against the tide of tentacles toward the most critical and important place of this experiment.

Again, those who are good at defending hide under the nine earths. Since there was chaos everywhere in this experimental field, he, this believer of 【Chaos】, relied on his intuition to sneak toward the least chaotic place. And there, Hu Wei felt, must be the core area of this experiment.

To be fair, he did achieve it, but what Hu Wei didn't expect was that the core area he snuck into was not the control center at all, but... the place where Zainjier was temporarily stored in reality after leaving the Star Dagger!

In other words, while everyone else was fighting until their heads were broken and blood was flowing, this Grand Marshal relied on his own talent to quietly sneak to the most core position of this experiment, right in front of Zainjier! ===== CHAPTER 784 =====
