Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 630: The Mother of Finger and Ymir's Plot

Half a day later, at Manus Mete Cathedral.

By pressing the mechanism on Ymir's throne, the road leading to the underground was opened. The floor tiles moved, revealing a long ladder leading straight down.

Kara and V went down the ladder, while Li You picked up Ymir and the bound black-armored female warrior in one hand each, and then flew down.

There was a vast space underground, and the overall style was similar to the finger ruins, with finger-shaped boulders protruding everywhere. This space was filled with a faint blue mist, floating under the protruding boulders, looking like an endless sea.

The place where everyone settled was an "isolated island" that was much higher than the sea of ​​fog. Seen from above, the island was shaped like a twisted finger, and at the end in front hung another large bell that was the same as the other ruins.

Li You scanned the entire space, and then he realized that there was a very strange power hidden in the sea of ​​fog. It seemed to be a fog mixed with a series of powers such as space. Even if he broke into it, there was no guarantee that he could find the way out, which made him alert immediately.

He then landed and let go of Ymir, "Go get ready, don't play any tricks."

“…Don’t worry.” Arriving here, Ymir seemed a little excited, but she controlled her emotions and led everyone forward.

"Here it is. Just blow the bell..."

"You can see the Mother of Finger, right?" Kara on the side had already guessed, "You can go and activate the magic circle. We also need to make some preparations."

Ymir didn't get angry, and stood still in front of the clock and started to activate the magic circle. As he mobilized his magic power, complex magic patterns began to emerge on the ground and connected with Ymir's magic power.

The black-armored female warrior was thrown into a corner. Li You looked at Kara and said, "I still oppose it."

Kara smiled and said, "It is true that facing the Finger Mother alone is dangerous, but compared to her importance, this risk is bearable, especially since I am the one going."

"This is to confirm the existence of the Finger Mother for Meimei, and it will also give you, Master, more options for future arrangements, so it is necessary. If it really doesn't work, I can just teleport back to Blessing."

Melina also appeared: "But I don't want you to take risks for this. If the Finger Mother is really..."

"Okay, let's not waste time." Kara interrupted her, "I've made up my mind. Instead of all this, let's get ready quickly."

Hearing her say this, Li You and Melina stopped trying to persuade her: "Okay."

——Not long ago.

After forcing information out of Ymir, Kara took the necklace and went to the Finger Ruins to find the bell.

In order to meet the Mother of Finger, one must first blow two bells. One of them is located at the previous Leah Finger Ruins. As for the other one, it is not far away. It is located near the wizard village in the hidden place and is called Dio Finger Ruins.

V went with her at that time, while Li You stayed in the church to guard Ymir and the black-armored female warrior named Yolan.

When the distant and strange bell sound echoed in the sky for the second time, Ymir immediately perked up and stood up.

"I heard it... I heard the bells! The mysterious sound was floating in the air. Look, how bright and beautiful the starry sky is tonight, just like the glorious destiny!"

Li You glanced at him and said, "Although, it's fucking noon now. Also, sit still. Did I ask you to get up?"

Ymir was not annoyed after being scolded. After laughing twice, she asked Li You to liberate herself so that he could make some preparations.

Li You was confused at the time. Could it be that Ymir thought that he would let him complete the previous arrangements so that he could seize the power of the Finger Mother?

Ymir said that he saw that Li You was worried that Kara could not defeat Finger Mother alone, and he could help with this.

"You mean..."

"That's right. The magic circle I prepared earlier can absorb the power emanating from the Mother of Finger and use it to bless myself. And I can also bestow this power on other people... Do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean, you want to use the magic circle to help Kara?" Li You glanced at him, "What good will this do for you?"

"Haha, I won't hide it from you. This magic circle can only be presided over by me, and of course I will benefit the most." Ymir had a disgusting smile on her face, "This magic circle was designed for this purpose. Even if I divide a part of it to bless others, in the end, the scattered power will all return to me."

Li You understood: "Waiting for me here. Are you trying to plot against me?"

Ymir chuckled: "You can think about it. Following my plan is the safest option."

Before Li You could answer, Kara and V came back and he told them about it.

The two had different opinions on this. Kara thought it was acceptable, even if it was just a safety net; V objected, thinking it was a conspiracy.

In the end, Kara asked Ymir to activate the magic circle he had prepared. After careful observation, he decided: "No problem, let him use it!"

The matter was settled. Then, the group came to the underground ruins of Mia's Finger.

——Time returns to the present.

"Kara, take this." Li You stepped forward, took off his pendant and handed it to her.

Kara was also surprised. She recognized the soul pendant that Li You used as his trump card when they first met. "You actually lent me such an important thing? Master is so generous. It just so happens that I also have something that I need Master to keep for me."

"Ok?"

Before Li You could react, Kara had already handed him a small leather bag, then took out another bag and handed it to V.

"I have one too?" V said so, but he still took it without hesitation, then flipped his hand and put the Pandora suitcase in front of him: "Then I can't be stingy, this is for you."

"Thank you." Kara smiled and picked up the suitcase naturally.

"Then leave it to me."

Watching her walk forward and touch the hanging bell, Li You's brows were still furrowed.

In fact, from Li You's perspective, he didn't want Kara to face the Mother of Finger. If what Ymir said was true, then the Mother of Finger was even on the same level as the final boss of the Ring, the Beast of Elden.

The Elden beast, commonly known as "Pidan", although its appearance is very abstract, is undoubtedly a real "god" - Li You is not even sure whether Pidan is an incomplete container god like Michaela, or a real god.

By analogy, in the worst case scenario, Kara will have to face a genuine god on her own.

But it is undeniable that the Mother of Finger, even now that it is broken, is still extremely important to the border area, and turning a blind eye to it is definitely not a good choice.

What's more, Kara decided to face the Finger Mother for Melina, and Li You couldn't stop her.

Now, we can only let her try.

Kara walked forward, held Ymir's necklace in one hand, then pressed the finger pendant and slowly blew a breath into the hole at the fingertips.

The bell did not make any sound, but a faint blue mist rolled out from it, wrapped Kara, and she disappeared without a trace.

Li You: "!"

At this moment, even Li You could not detect Kara's breath, which made him immediately alert and turned to look at Ymir.

"Don't worry, she has gone to the Mother of Finger."

Ymir spoke very consciously, "The space where the Finger Mother hides only overlaps with this place to a small extent. It cannot be reached by ordinary means, nor can it be interfered with... Oh, did I forget to say that before?"

Li You looked at him, his mouth curled up: "You are more impatient than I thought... Very good, you will know the price of playing tricks on me."

Ymir had already activated the magic circle and seemed somewhat fearless, but she still said, "This is indeed my mistake. Although I can't interfere, I can let you see what happened over there."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the magic lines spread to the finger pendant clock, and then an illusory water mirror condensed in front of it. In the water mirror was the scene on the side of the Finger Mother.

——In another space.

When Kara opened her eyes, she found that the scenery in front of her had changed again. She was moved from in front of the pendant clock to a strange space.

There was a shimmering surface of water under my feet, but the top of my head was deep and boundless, as if I were under the sea, making it hard to grasp. The whole world was a faint blue, with a faint light shining down from a farther distance, illuminating this space.

There are finger-shaped rocks of varying sizes in the water below your feet and in the air above your head. The ones sticking out of the water are the fingertips of the rocks, and the ones floating above your head are the roots of the rocks. Everything seems like a dream.

In the center of this space, there is a creature with a very twisted appearance. Its overall shape is close to that of a beast, but its body is made up of fingers of different sizes. Its head is a huge finger, and its tail is two smaller fingers that are intertwined and separated at the top. It looks very scary.

Supporting the raised head and tail is an equally strange body below. On both sides of the thick body, there is a whole row of fingers that serve as its legs. Near the head are two arms, and there is an opening in what should be the abdomen, with countless tiny fingers sticking out from it.

This is the "Mother of Fingers", whose name is Metier, the dazzling daughter of the Supreme Will.

His name came to Kara's mind the moment she saw his appearance, and she could not refuse it at all. At the same time, an indescribable sense of oppression also descended, falling heavily on Kara's body and consciousness.

Naturally, the Finger Mother also noticed Kara, the uninvited guest.

He immediately moved, and the fingers on both sides of his body moved quickly, turning that side of his head towards Kara. A pink-purple light lit up in the "one eye" on the top of his head, and then a beam of light of the same color streaked across the sky and pierced Kara directly!
Although the color is very girly, the power of this beam of light is no joke. Even though the distance was still far, Kara immediately felt the terrifying concentrated magic power in it.

However, Kara had not even gotten rid of the invisible pressure at this time. She raised the Dark Moon Staff with all her strength and swung it with difficulty. Fortunately, she was able to release Miriam's disappearance in time. Her figure suddenly disappeared, avoiding the beam of light from the Mother of Finger.

Kara reappeared in the distance, but her left arm was bloody. The pressure from the Mother of Finger even suppressed the flow of her magic power, making it more difficult for her to cast magic.

However, Kara still used her magic power and shot out a broom star!

"boom--!!"

But under the ubiquitous pressure, the broom star was only barely formed, and it had almost no effect when it hit the Mother of Finger.

"Ymir!" On the ruins side, Li You turned around and looked at Ymir. Ymir did not dare to delay this time. She waved her staff, mobilized the power of the magic circle, and dropped it on Kara on the side of the Finger Mother.

Kara over there immediately felt an external force enveloping her body, and the pressure from the Mother of Finger instantly disappeared like the tide. Not only was the magic power in her body no longer suppressed, but the flow speed even increased by two points, and the recovery speed was extremely fast.

"This is the effect of Ymir's magic circle... Why is it different from what I calculated? Shouldn't it be stronger?"

Kara's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't say anything. Li You couldn't hear what she said anyway. In front of her, the Mother of Finger seemed to be stimulated by something and moved hysterically. Her finger feet moved frantically, rushing towards her while emitting the previous condensed beam again!

But this time the situation was different. Kara waved the staff, and her figure suddenly disappeared. Before the Mother of Finger could react, two consecutive broom stars had already hit her tail finger from the side and back, causing her to let out a silent howl.

This whistling sound should have had an effect close to that of a mental attack, but Kara only felt a slight tingling in her consciousness and nothing else.

Ymir's magic circle collected the power exuded by the Finger Mother and blessed her with it in return. She used this power of the same origin to help her offset the pressure of the Finger Mother and the damage of many of her moves. The effect was indeed significant.

However, it was not known whether it was the Mother of Finger's own habit or if she had noticed something, but after this time she almost stopped using her magic power to launch attacks. Instead, she relied on her huge body to move quickly, and then used her physical strength to impact.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!”

After Kara dodged the Mother of Finger's three consecutive gyroscope spins and headbutts, she looked at Metier, whose head was slamming on the water for a long time without lifting up. She couldn't help but say, "Aren't you the daughter of the Supreme Will? Can you use a more tasteful attack method?!"

But at this moment, the Mother of Finger suddenly raised her head! Her power spread along the surface of the water, dyeing everything she passed into pink and purple.

Then, the colored water surface exploded!

"boom--!!"

This happened so suddenly and over such a large area that Kara's figure was not submerged for a moment.

However, when the magic power mixed with water mist dissipated, a soul crystal gun flew from behind and shattered on the side of the Finger Mother's body, followed by the second and third shots!

"boom--"

The sound of crystals exploding continued. The magic from another world also caused considerable damage to the Mother of Finger, forcing Him to step back a few steps.

Originally, the Soul Crystal Gun and the Broom Star were both considered top-tier magic in their respective systems. The Soul Crystal Gun had better single-shot damage and penetration, while the Broom Star was better in terms of being able to charge and fire continuously. In addition to its own characteristics, the output efficiency of the Crystal Gun was obviously not as good as that of the Broom Star.

But Kara studied this, and today, she is able to use the Soul Crystal Gun in a continuous manner, which instantly increases her output capacity. Moreover, when facing the Mother of Finger, the Soul Crystal Gun will not be suppressed in damage.

With the blessing from Ymir, she no longer needs to worry about the consumption of magic power, so now she has completely transformed into a crystal gun launcher, with beams of light almost forming a line, flying towards the Mother of Finger!

Under Kara's continuous bombardment, the flesh and blood of the Finger Mother was constantly eroded, and her huge body trembled. During this process, Kara also realized a very critical thing. "...He doesn't know how to fight at all, right?"

Mother Finger Metier, the daughter of the Supreme Will, came to the original meteor at the border with the Beast of Elden. Even though she has been abandoned, her status is unquestionable.

However, perhaps it is precisely because of his identity that even though Metier possesses terrifyingly huge power in his body, he does not know how to use it to fight the enemy.

The beam attacks he had used before were actually more of an instinct. Although the power contained in one attack was already terrifying, compared to the vast power in his body, it was only a tiny fraction.

"That's not a bad thing, but on the other hand, it would be difficult to inflict fatal damage to Him."

This was understandable. Even though the Soul Crystal Gun's continuous fire tore apart a large amount of the Finger Mother's flesh and blood, she was still very energetic. It was only because she was not used to pain that she reacted so strongly.

“Although they look pitiful, both fingers are your children. You are also responsible for the chaos in the border area now.” Kara raised the Dark Moon Staff, and a large amount of magic power began to condense, and the soul torrent was ready to go.

With the power of the Mother of Finger, Kara was not sure she could inflict serious damage on Him without using the two most powerful output magics, Soul Torrent or Comet Azrael.

"Just let me get it done as quickly as possible."

The next moment, a blue and white beam of light rushed out!

The soul torrent quickly washed over the flesh and blood of the Finger Mother, and the intense pain made Him tremble. Kara's magic power could be replenished quickly, and the battle was about to end safely.

But at this moment, a pink and purple magic cyclone suddenly erupted around the Mother of Finger, and the cyclone rolled up into a storm, actually cutting off the soul torrent!

Kara: “!!”

Li You: "!"

Ymir's eyes also moved slightly as she stared at the scene in the water mirror, wondering what she was thinking.

On the Mother of Finger's side, after stirring up the magic storm, Her body also floated up. At the tips of the two entangled tail fingers, a bit of darkness emerged, and then expanded into an extremely deep black sphere, like a virtual projection of the universe, and even stronger magic fluctuations burst out from it!

"boom--!!"

The magic frenzy spread out and extended to a very far distance. Fortunately, Kara reacted quickly and flashed in the opposite direction, just avoiding the wave.

However, at this time, the body of the Mother of Finger was still floating in the air, with her tail finger raised high, and the illusory small universe projected light. One after another, miniature universes rose from under the water, surrounding Kara in the center, and then exploded one after another!

This is not over yet. The illusory microcosm on the Mother of Finger's head began to expand, like a gamma-ray burst. Terrifying beams of light erupted from both ends, sweeping over indiscriminately at friend or foe!

The range of the light burst was very large, and Kara's expression was extremely serious. She saw at a glance that it was absolutely impossible for her to survive being hit by the light, and to avoid it, she had to seize the one thousandth gap.

But Kara was sure of this, she had extremely precise control over her own magic, which was her talent.

However, at this moment, beside the ruins outside this space, Ymir saw the Mother of Finger releasing rays, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "That's it!"

Then, he suddenly began to mobilize the magic circle at maximum power, sending all the collected energy to Kara!

Kara: "!?"

She instantly lost the ability to move, and the energy that had originally been used to help her resist the pressure from the Mother of Finger now turned into shackles that bound her!
But at the same time, the rays of the Mother of Finger were abruptly interrupted, and the original light was bound within the illusory microcosm, while His body floated in the sky, seemingly unable to move independently.

Despite this, the scattered power absorbed by the magic circle is still gathering towards Kara regardless of the consequences!

Li You was also shocked when he saw it: "What...Ymir, you fucking bastard!"

Although I don’t know what Ymir wants to do, if he continues like this, Kara’s body will surely explode because it cannot withstand such a large amount of power belonging to the Mother of Finger!
V on the side reacted immediately, and rushed towards Ymir in a flash, with the lightning and moon shadow stabbing down on her head!

But a red spirit appeared at some point and stood in front of Ymir.

"clang--!!"

The red spirit wore the same armor as Yoran, and her weapons were a pair of long claws. She crossed her claws and blocked V's attack.

V bounced back, his brows furrowed. "Red Spirit? It looks like you were prepared."

Over there, the newly appeared red spirit waved her hand and threw out the sharp claw in her hand like a flying knife, cutting the rope that bound Yoran. The thrown claw reappeared in her hand, and she stood in front of Ymir, ready to fight.

Yoran looked at the red spirit, but he was a little dazed: "...Anna? How could it be...Mr. Ymir...?"

Ymir didn't even turn her head, she just said: "I'll tell you slowly later. Stop them first!"

Li You spoke up at this time: "You are indeed scheming, but do you think that you can stop me with just the two of them?"

The spiral sword had appeared in his hand, and as he grasped it, flames began to burn on the blade.

Ymir smiled and said, "Of course I know how powerful you are. You guys are the ones who defeated Mikaela and Latarn. It's impossible for Yoran and Anna to resist you. But just delaying you for a moment is enough."

Ymir raised her staff and said, "My preparations are complete! Do you want to try and see if you can still touch me now?"

Li You: "Huh?"

V sensed something was wrong and swung his sword, but this time Anna didn't move. Before V's sword could land on Ymir's head, it was bounced away by an invisible barrier!

V: "!?"

At the moment the barrier was attacked, a pink-purple light spread out, and Li You also saw the clue: "I see... You turned the power of the Mother of Finger that you collected into a barrier to protect yourself. Without a corresponding 'destiny', no matter how strong the power is, it can't hurt you."

Ymir finally laughed out loud: "That's right! Even you can't threaten me! Your failure comes from your arrogance! If you had taken action at the first moment, you could have stopped me, but now, you can only watch your apprentice die!"

Li You didn't comment, and then asked: "What is your plan? Just to trick me?"

"Of course not!" Ymir denied flatly, "I've said before that I have no ill will towards you. All of this is to make me a real mother. So, I will use everything I can!"

"I will focus the power I absorbed on the faded one, and then explode it in the opposite direction, detonating the power that the Mother of Finger has accumulated at this time, so that the broken guy can be completely destroyed. After that, his power will wander in that space, and finally gather through the magic circle and become mine!
"In this way, I can become a true mother, and even you won't be able to stop me, who is as good as... no, even better than the gods!"

Li You understood, but shook his head: "It's a nice idea, but it doesn't have much style. I thought you could give me something different to do."

Ymir looked at him and finally realized something was wrong: "Why aren't you worried at all?"

Li You grinned: "Guess? Friendly reminder, it's not that easy to trick my apprentice."

Ymir turned around and saw that in the water mirror, a black suitcase had appeared in front of Kara. The suitcase was like a bottomless abyss, madly absorbing the magic power that Ymir sent over, and the lines on the surface of the suitcase became brighter and brighter!
"This is impossible!?" Ymir blurted out in shock for the first time.

"Don't worry, there are more surprises to come." Li You said, and raised the spiral sword, which extended into a javelin. Then he raised the javelin and made a preparatory move to throw it.

Ymir looked at him. "You still want to attack me? It's useless. You will never be able to break through... Puff——!!"

Before he could finish his words, the spiral gun flew out and turned into a fire meteor that pierced through his body!
The barrier that Ymir had built with the power of the Mother of Fingers, which she thought would never be broken, seemed to be non-existent in front of the spiral gun.

Yolan: “!?”

Ymir was carried away by the spiral gun and nailed to the huge rock on the side with a "bang". He looked at the spiral gun on his chest with a puzzled look on his face: "How... is this possible!?"

"Destiny is indeed a mysterious thing, and it can be transformed into a perceptible force at the border." Li You walked forward and also ignored the barrier.

"Before the stars moved, the fate of the Kalia royal family remained unchanged, and Teacher Se Lian could not be killed. This is the manifestation of the power of destiny at the border."

"However, because of this, the 'power of destiny' here can be sensed, perceived, and... transferred."

As he spoke, Li You opened his collar and took out a small amulet.

Kara's Amulet of the Night.

"With some special gadgets, I can temporarily gain the power of destiny, and it will be easy to break through your barrier."

Ymir was angry, horrified, but even more confused: "Then why... did you have to watch me do all this?"

Li You said, "Do you think I have a bad taste? I am giving you a chance, hoping that you can be more self-aware and self-respecting. But unfortunately, you had bad intentions from the beginning, so there is only one outcome."

"You...Puff!" Ymir wanted to say something, but his throat felt sweet and a mouthful of blood rushed up, blocking his subsequent words.

"Goodbye then."

Li You was about to deal with him, but then several sharp claws wrapped in black air flew towards him, followed by a knife also surrounded by black mist, which slashed towards him!

"clang--"

Li You didn't move at all, and a light blue magic barrier appeared, blocking the attack. He turned around and looked at Yoran and Anna who were surrounding him, and V who was standing outside Ymir's barrier and spreading his hands to him, and said, "You... No, you still want to fight?"

He said this to Yoran, "Although I don't know the details, but this Anna is related to you, right? Can't you see that she is a pure puppet? You still want to help Ymir in this situation?"

Yoran gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Ymir... is my star. Even so, he must have a reason..."

"I don't understand." Li You was too lazy to say more to her after listening to half of it. He waved his hand, and the Shield of Aegis exploded, turning into a turbulent flow of magic that knocked Yolan and Anna away.

Then, Li You turned to Ymir and said, "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. I'll take you on your way now."

He then drew out the Bloody Immortal Sword and swung it down without stopping. As the blood-soaked blade approached, a revolving lantern appeared before Ymir's eyes, and she murmured:
"Yuri... I really hope to be your mother..."

"Stop disgusting me, go to hell."

"Shua——!!"

The Blood Immortal Slash split Ymir's body in half along the center line, and blood spurted out, but before it fell on Li You, it was bounced off by the magic barrier.

Li You then put away his knife and rummaged through Ymir's body, and sure enough, he found another stone necklace, so he turned to V.

"I'm going to help the Mother of Finger. I'll leave this magic circle to you."

"Tsk, why do I have to do this?" V curled his lips. What Kara had given Li You before was, of course, the Amulet of Night, and what she gave V was a letter that recorded the simple method of operating Ymir's magic circle.

Ymir probably never dared to imagine until her death that Kara had basically seen through his magic circle in just a short period of time during the previous simple inspection, so she made the subsequent arrangements.

V said that but still stepped forward to accept the magic circle. Ymir's barrier had disappeared after his death, and Yoran and Anna were no longer able to rise, so she was safe alone.

Li You then blew the pendulum bell, and his body was wrapped in the mist and came to the space where the Mother of Finger was.

When he came over, Kara was activating the soul source ability of the soul pendant. Relying on the almost unlimited magic power provided by the pendant, she resisted the suppression of the Mother of Finger and attacked again with the Soul Torrent.

Kara still has the elixir holy grail bottle in her hand at this time. After basically collecting all the crystal dew drops, the holy grail bottle can also provide her with infinite magic power, so she can still hold on.

On the contrary, the Finger Mother was obviously in a bad condition. Although she had broken free from the restraints, her body and flesh were still torn apart by the soul torrent. Her body was covered in blood and she was struggling hard.

When he first came to this space, Li You also felt the sudden pressure, but the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal in his body immediately transmitted a divine power, which helped him eliminate the oppression of the Mother of Finger.

And then, the reinforcements from the magic circle presided over by V also fell on the two of them, and Kara's expression was much more relaxed now.

Li You immediately drew out the Spiral Sword and the Immortal Slash, put the two weapons together, and flew towards the Mother of Finger with the long-handled sword in hand.

The Mother of Finger sensed something was wrong, and immediately released rays from the illusory microcosm again, forcing Li You to retreat. At the same time, she herself passed through the black hole generated by the microcosm, and her entire huge body flashed and escaped.

Kara immediately felt the power of remembrance falling on her, and was stunned: "He ran away?"

But Li You over there instantly transformed into a dragon-man, and even a white dragon shadow appeared behind him: "He can't run away."

"It's just a mutated spatial power. I already understand it!"
