Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 756: Another fight against the final BOSS?

【Ding! 】

[You have successfully entered the game world, and your current location is: Highland Wild Forest. ]

[After completing the first contact, a reward draw will be conducted. 】

Li You opened his eyes and saw a forest covered with light snow.

Without the need to recall or confirm, he already knew exactly where this place was, which world it was, and where he was.

So now the question is, when did he enter this world?
Judging from the environment, this forest has not yet been covered by the endless snow. Yellow-brown soil can still be seen on the road, and the sound of streams can be heard in his ears. It seems that he has arrived relatively early.

As for how early exactly, we'll have to wait until we meet the person.

【Ding! 】

[Please note that due to the particularity of this world, the main quest will be released in stages and may change depending on your completion status. ]

[In addition, due to the particularity of this world, some functions will be temporarily restricted. ]

"Oh?"

Li You raised his eyebrows.

Having traveled through so many worlds, I have rarely encountered system function limitations in the main world.

He raised his head slightly, looked at the sky through the gaps in the woods, opened his arms to feel the breath of this world, and then he indeed noticed a clear difference.

In all the worlds he had visited in the past, he had never had the experience of clearly feeling the "different world levels". The ones with the highest combat power levels were probably Devil May Cry, Dark Soul, and Magic Ring, but only Soul and Ring could perceive some differences in world levels. For example, even common materials in that world could be extremely sophisticated and powerful materials in other worlds, but that was all.

But in this world, Li You could clearly feel that both the upper and lower limits of his power were quite high, especially the lower limit.

In other words, this world's ability to withstand various supernatural powers is much higher.

To give an example, in the biochemical world, Li You could almost tear the sky and split the sea when he exerted his full strength, but in the magic ring world, he could only open mountains and cut rivers at most, and in this world, he probably wouldn't be able to split a mountain at all.

This does not mean that the upper limit of the power of the Dharma Ring is lower than this side. It is hard to say what the upper limit is, but at least the lower limit is indeed lower than this land.

Supernatural powers exist everywhere in this world, and even "mortals" can often come into contact with them. In fact, they cannot be regarded as mortals.

What kind of power would the gods standing at the top of the pyramid of this world have? Li You was not sure at the moment, but he thought he would see it soon.

After feeling the difference in this world, Li You wanted to try which system functions were restricted so as to formulate a strategy. But at this moment, a strong warning suddenly rose in his heart!

Li You suddenly turned around and saw a man in strange clothes standing at the corner of the forest path not far away, looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

The man had a well-proportioned body, and even in this cold highland he was only wearing a rough corset and trousers, exposing his upper body which was covered with various dark tattoos.

He had his brown hair cut short on top and tied into a braid at the back of his head. He had a long beard of the same color, tied into small knots, and his facial features had distinctly Nordic characteristics.

But the key is still those eyes. When he was stared at by him, Li You felt like he was locked by a twisted poisonous snake.

His expression immediately became serious - because he also knew this man.

The man also knew that Li You had discovered him. After the two confronted each other for a moment, he spoke first in a sinister tone and voice:

"I've never seen anything like you... Who are you?"

The man's voice was not only sinister, but also carried obvious arrogance, and his tone was completely condescending. However, Li You did not answer, but just narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

It is not a good thing to meet this guy now. He has not yet figured out the specific power level of this world. If a conflict occurs, the risk will be very high.

After all, this guy who looks like a savage is actually one of the gods of this land.

Li You was still thinking about how to deal with this guy when he heard a prompt sound in his ear.

【Ding! 】

[The first contact has been completed, and the reward is being drawn. Drawing in progress... The drawing is completed. ]

[Please choose one item from the drawn items as your reward. 】

Before Li You had time to read it, the second prompt popped up.

【Ding! 】

[The specific target has been contacted, and the first phase of the main task has been issued for you. 】

[Main Mission 1-1: Defeat the strangers.]

Li You frowned immediately!
In just a short moment, the man on the other side was already impatient. He clenched his fists and said to himself, "Don't want to say it? Then... Hey!"

The next moment, blue magical light lit up in his eyes and body. His figure flashed quickly and he rushed towards Li You and threw a punch!
Behind him were traces of magic power that had not yet dissipated, and his fists were shining brightly, shining towards Li You's head and face!

At this moment, Li You felt the threat of serious injury from that fist.

"Tsk... I just have to fight!"

There was no need for the system to urge him to take the initiative. This man would attack at the slightest disagreement. Even for the sake of self-protection, Li You had to respond.

So when facing the man's fist, Li You seized the opportunity and dodged sideways. The wind pressure and magic trajectory passed through his face, causing him pain.

But the man didn't just use this one move. He turned around and threw a second punch at Li You!

This time Li You had no time to dodge, so he stretched out his hands to slap and block, reducing the force from his fist. At the same time, he quickly stepped back, making it impossible for his punch to exert any force.

But after cleverly dodging two punches, the man's eyes lit up - not the magical light that lit up when he attacked, but his eyes, including his face, which showed a hint of excitement and interest.

"You can dodge this? Interesting!"

As the man spoke, he let out a strange laugh, but his movements did not stop at all. Instead, he swung his fists faster and more excitedly, sweeping towards Li You like a storm.

Li You parried, blocked, and kept retreating, but it was gradually difficult to cope with the man's increasingly heavy and fast punches. This man was obviously testing the upper limit of Li You's strength, and his attacks were getting heavier and more destructive.

"Can you go faster? Haha!"

The man became more and more excited as the fight went on, with a hint of morbid excitement between his brows. After he said this, he suddenly threw another heavy punch, which was faster and heavier than the previous ones!
Li You didn't have time to react, and it was too late to dodge, so he could only punch back!
But not to mention that the strength of both sides was somewhat different, Li You rushed out with a punch, even if his fighting skills were superb, it was inevitable that he would reveal flaws in this level of battle. The two of them faced each other with their fists, and after a stalemate for a moment, a large amount of magic power burst out, and then Li You was pushed back quickly!
His feet plowed two deep grooves on the ground, and he retreated nearly ten meters before stopping. This was because the land of this world was strong enough to support him, otherwise it would not be surprising if he was directly blown away by this punch. But the man was already chasing him!

“Tsk… So, I really hate games that require me to fight the final boss right from the start!”

Li You was also annoyed. He was no match for the man in front of him in terms of punches and kicks. Although he had no intention of getting entangled, it was obvious that the other party would not give up easily, and he was extremely strong, so he had to use all his strength to deal with him.

So he let out a low shout, gathered all his strength and magic power into his fist, and punched out heavily, fighting hard with the man who was chasing him!
"Boom-!!"

A dull collision sound was heard, and after the two men exchanged fists, an invisible shock wave spread out and rolled around. They held each other for a moment, and this time they bounced away.

“Huh…?”

The man's eyes changed obviously, looking at Li You: "You are more capable than I thought... I have never seen someone like you before? You are not from this land, right?"

Although he expressed his approval of Li You, his eyes revealed a completely different emotion.

It was anticipation and excitement.

"Interesting. I don't know why an outsider would come to Midgard at this time... but let me see what else you can do!"

Li You frowned slightly, but was ready to take action. His magic power surged, and he raised his hand to summon the Undead Slash in his body.

Even the man noticed that Li You was making preparations, so he stopped and prepared to see what Li You was going to do.

...nothing happened.

Li You: "?"

man:"?"

"What are you doing?" the man couldn't help but ask.

Li You was also puzzled. He looked at his hand. The power of the Immortal Slash and the black dragon it transformed into were clearly sleeping in his body, but for some reason he could not summon them out.

【Ding! 】

[Please note that your weapon "Immortal Slash" is derived from divine power from another world and cannot appear in this world at this stage. ]

Li You:?
No, man.

You banned the Undead Slash for me?
...Well, judging from the system description, the Undying Slash was not sealed by the system, but because its power was incompatible with this world, it could not be summoned - which seemed to be in line with the setting.

But if that's the case, how should he deal with the man in front of him?

The man was getting impatient now. "Are you kidding me? This is going to cost you."

The tone he used when he said this was sinister and contained obvious murderous intent, and Li You frowned even deeper.

How would he fight without the Immortal Slash?

Not only does Li You’s strength have to be discounted because he doesn’t have the Immortal Slash, but more importantly, the man in front of him is not only a god, but also a true immortal!
He is the god of light in Norse mythology, Balder!
And this world, needless to say, is the world of "God of War 4".

Or to be more precise, the name given by the system was "New God of War", so Li You was not sure at first what period he appeared.

Now we know that Baldur's appearance in this forest is obviously the opening plot of God of War 4. He is going to find the protagonist of the game, the Greek god of war, Kratos, who wandered here.

As a result, Balder let himself be bumped into, and the system required him to be repelled.

But now it seems that although the Undead Slash cannot be used and it is not the system's fault, the system also knew this in advance, so it only requires repelling.

Before Li You could figure out how to respond, Bader pounced on him again and swung his fist!
This time it was no longer a test like before, this time it was a punch filled with anger and murderous intent!
"clang--!!"

With a clear sound, Balder's fist was blocked by a spiral sword with flames, blocking his attack. Balder was slightly startled, but saw that the flesh on his hand had been torn by the flames on the sword.

[Fire Sword (Add Fire +9)]

"Boom!"

The two men bounced away, and Balder shook his hands. The burn wounds on his hands healed in the blink of an eye.

Balder's immortality is not immortality, but that he will recover extremely quickly from any damage, even fatal injuries.

In the original prologue, he was temporarily repelled by Kratos after his neck was broken, but he emerged alive and kicking not long after.

Now that he doesn't have the Immortal Sword, all of Li You's methods will probably not be able to cause him fatal injuries. If he really wants to complete the task, he may only be able to learn from Kratos and use the bone-setting method.

Balder was looking at the spiral sword in Li You's hand at this moment: "It's another fire power I haven't seen before... It seems to be interesting. Come on!"

He doesn't use weapons, or rather, this immortal body is his weapon, and his fists and feet are his way of fighting.

Balder rushed forward quickly and punched Li You directly again!

The spiral sword unfolded into a spear in Li You's hand, flying up and down several times as he moved, and then pointed at Balder's fist!
"boom--"

Dull collision sounds were heard, and Balder's fist was pierced by the spiral gun and burned by the flames, but recovered in the blink of an eye, and his offensive never stopped!
"Come on! See if you can hurt me, come on!"

The more Balder fought, the more excited he became. Even though his fists were covered in blood and flesh, he refused to take a single step back.

"Whether you know it or not, I have to tell you...I can't feel anything! Hahaha!"

Balder fought vigorously, almost madly, and laughed continuously. Li You waved his spear, but could only barely maintain a balance with Balder who was getting more and more excited.

Just when Li You was considering whether to try to transform into a dragon man, suddenly, he and Balder were both stunned, and then they separated and kept a distance from each other.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked to the side, only to see a burly bald man wearing simple leather armor, holding a battle axe, and with red lines engraved on his pale skin appearing at the intersection over there.

He had a long beard, and his face and eyes were full of intimidation. He looked at Li You and Balder with a pair of deep and sharp eyes, and then asked in a low and echoing voice:

"……who are you?"

Li You was immediately startled. Of course, he couldn't possibly make a mistake. This man was the protagonist of the game series, the god of war who slaughtered the entire Greek pantheon - Kratos!
