Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 787 Hasty Ending
"Boom——!!"

A violent roar echoed above the frozen river bend, and a blue-white lightning streaked across the sky!

The battle was almost imminent. Kratos roared and rushed towards Balder, while Modi went crazy and pounced on Li You!

Li You casually unfolded a fire field to weaken the enemy, but this time Modi seemed to be prepared. He summoned lightning with the spear in his hand and broke into Li You's field and entangled himself, thus blocking his weakening effect.

"...Oh? That's interesting."

Li You's expression changed, but he was not in a hurry. Facing Modi who was flying in the air and wielding a spear to stab him, he just smiled and said, "You are not the only one who needs to be settled."

"Roar--!!"

The man behind Li You roared, rushed out with a shield and an axe, and faced Modi!
"Boom!!"

His big shield collided with Modi's spear, and a light flashed on the shield, which absorbed and dissipated all the lightning wrapped around Modi's spear. Yuzu himself was not affected at all.

Modi's expression also changed slightly: "How is this possible?"

Li You said this was very possible.

Yuzu's shield was originally forged by fusion of the Dragon Hunter Shield and the Golden Tree Shield. In addition to its outstanding defense against lightning, it also has the enchantment effect of rebounding spell attacks. Modi's attack hit the shield, and Yuzu couldn't even shake his hand.

Moreover, if it was purely a contest of strength, unless Li You turned into a dragon, he would not be as good as Youzi. In the last encounter, if they had not been attacked by the two brothers together, and Youzi happened to be in the flying dragon form who was not good at close combat, she would not have been injured to that extent.

When seeing Modi again this time, Yuzu recalled what happened in the past, so she immediately went to greet him.

Of course, Modi, who was not weakened by the Fire Field, was not so easy to deal with, so Li You raised his hand and threw the Sun Sword to V, and motioned her to help.

As for himself, he went to the other side.

He was going to deal with Baldur.

On the other side, Balder and Kratos were wrestling. Kratos had started to charge with his left shield, but Balder held him with his crossed hands. The power that erupted from this guy's not-so-big body was not inferior to Kratos's, and the two were evenly matched for a while.

Atreus wanted to help, so he drew his bow and shot an arrow at Balder, but his quiver was filled with ordinary arrows, and the mistletoe arrow was still in Kratos' magic pocket. He had no time to get it, and he didn't even think of getting it.

So Atreus' attack was almost useless. Even though his shooting became more and more accurate and every arrow hit Balder's head, he ultimately failed to cause any harm to him.

Atreus was anxious.

But at this time Li You also arrived.

"boom--!!"

He transformed into a half-dragon and rushed over in an instant. The spiral sword turned into a sledgehammer and smashed Balder's head with it!

Balder's head suddenly tilted, and his body also tilted. Kratos took the initiative instantly, grabbed Balder, and smashed him down heavily!
"Boom!!"

Kratos then kicked Balder several more times, stepping on his head. Even the frozen ground cracked under Kratos's great strength when it collided with Balder's head.

But Kratos also knew that this would not kill Balder at all.

He delivered another kick while assessing the situation, and then shouted to Atreus, "Go and help the guy with the spear!"

Atreus was stunned, then looked at Li You beside him, nodded, and ran towards the battlefield on the other side.

Kratos also exchanged glances with Li You. Although he still remembered that Li You seemed to have concealed Freya's identity from him, now was not the time to care about it.

For the current Kratos, Balder is an opponent he must give his all to, but even then he can only defeat him at most, but there is no way to kill Balder. Balder's immortality is really troublesome.

So at this time, getting help from Li You is obviously the best situation, and Kratos will not risk his son's safety to get angry with Li You.

Therefore, in the moment their eyes met, Kratos and Li You reached a tacit understanding.

"ha--!!"

Balder, who was stepped on by Kratos, launched a counterattack. With a loud shout, he quickly stood up, grabbed Kratos' legs and knocked him down!
Normally speaking, a warrior like Kratos should have a very stable lower body, but Balder just pulled Kratos down with a single force, then rode on him and punched him wildly.

Of course Li You couldn't just watch, he immediately stepped forward and swung the sledgehammer!

"Boom-"

Balder was the same as always, he didn't dodge the attack at all and was knocked down by Li You's hammer!
Kratos immediately took the initiative, pinned him to the ground, and punched him down with a roar!

“Haaaaaa——!!”

Only Li You felt helpless.

No, one of you was busy performing physical techniques and exposing your back, and the other one only knew how to attack when you started fighting. Both of you ignored me regardless of friend or foe, right?
How can I help you, Mr. Kratos?

Fortunately, this state did not last long. During Kratos' attack, Balder seized the opportunity to retract his body and kicked out with both feet. This explosion kicked Kratos' tall body into the air!

Balder stood up quickly, and this time he ignored Kratos who was still in free fall, and instead pounced on Li You!

"Boom-!!"

There was another dull thud, and Balder's fist hit Li You's sledgehammer. Li You had clearly chosen the right moment to accumulate strength and swing, but he only ended up drawing with Balder. At this moment, he was even being pushed back by Balder.

"You!" Balder looked at him and laughed, "You used tricks to escape from me last time, but this time! You won't have that chance!"

"It's hard to say who will run away this time!" Li You responded tit for tat. He held the sledgehammer in his hands with both hands and stomped his feet on the ground. The frozen soil cracked under him, and he used this to stabilize his body.

"Oh? You think you can beat me with two more people and a head?" Balder laughed crazily, "Just the few of you? Don't forget, I can't feel anything!"

"We don't need so many people to deal with you." Li You just said.

"Drink!!"

With another loud roar, Kratos fell from the air and rushed up again, this time wielding the Leviathan Axe, slashing at Balder from behind and aiming at his neck!

Obviously, Kratos intends to try to chop off Balder's head like he did to Mimir.

Maybe his immortality was lost after he was beheaded?

Even if it doesn't work, beheading him should be able to destroy his fighting ability.

But Balder had already seen through Kratos's plan. After all, he was just crazy, not stupid.

Although Li You was also very curious about whether he, who had an immortal body, could be beheaded, it was obvious that he had no chance to verify it this time.

Balder pushed Li You hard, forcing him to retreat, and then quickly turned around to face Kratos' axe!
"Pfft-"

Balder crossed his arms and blocked Kratos' axe. His flesh was torn, but healed quickly. He laughed and kicked Kratos hard, forcing him back several meters. Then he rushed forward again. Li You was free for a while. He frowned and watched Balder chasing Kratos, thinking in his heart.

Otherwise, why don't we take out the big arrows made of mistletoe and pierce this guy through the heart?
Balder is indeed very capable, but the reason he was able to suppress the combined forces of Kratos and Li You on his own is because of the protection of his immortal body.

This power can be considered as his passive skill, and even self-healing will not consume any of his own strength. So it goes without saying that in a war of attrition, even an opponent of equal strength will not be able to outlast him.

Otherwise, Kratos's full strength alone would be enough to defeat Balder and either break his neck or chop off his head.

Li You certainly would not forget that Balder's weakness was mistletoe. Although Atreus' mistletoe arrow could not be used at the moment, Li You kept his three large arrows.

But he also had to consider another issue, which was the subsequent impact of killing Balder.

There is a consistent description in Norse mythology and the game setting of God of War, that is, Balder's death will bring Fimbulwinter, which is a super cold winter that ends all winters and covers all realms. Fimbulwinter also foreshadows the coming of Ragnarok.

In the game, it started snowing in Midgard immediately after Balder's death, and according to the plot of the fifth generation, the snow kept getting heavier and heavier, and finally froze the entire Lake of the Nine Realms, turning Midgard into a snowy country.

At the end of the fourth generation's story, Balder was supposed to die, but now Kratos and his son have only completed half of their journey. Li You is not sure if it would backfire if Balder was killed by him at this time.

After all, Kratos's wife Faye had actually foreseen the fate of the father and son and had made arrangements.

But he soon discovered that he didn't need to worry about this issue anymore.

because……

“Ahhhh——!!”

A roar full of anger yet childish sound suddenly came from the direction of the snowfield. Kratos, Li You, and even Balder all stopped what they were doing and turned to look over there.

"child……?"

Over there, outside the battle circle where Yuzu, V, and Atreus were fighting Modi, Atreus stood there, with golden-red flames dancing all over his body, which was obviously the same power as Kratos's Spartan Fury.

Balder stopped when he saw the flames and looked at Atreus with interest: "This kid..."

However, the flames that came out of Atreus' body not only did not help him, but instead burned and corroded his body.

Atreus' roar was interrupted, his feet went limp, and he fell to the snow, losing consciousness.

“Atreus——!!”

Kratos was also shocked!
——Not long ago, Atreus listened to Kratos' words and rushed over to support Yuzu and V to fight Modi together.

In Kratos's opinion, it was obviously too dangerous to let Atreus fight against Balder. After all, Kratos himself could not guarantee that he could protect his son safely in the fierce battle against Balder.

Although Atreus was worried about his father, he still listened to him. After all, Li You was also on Kratos' side.

But Kratos doesn't know another thing, that is, Modi himself is also dangerous... and not just in terms of combat power.

In the game, it was Modi who angered Atreus several times, causing him to awaken the power of Spartan Wrath prematurely, thus causing the divine power to backfire on himself.

During the two encounters, he used foul language to insult Atreus' mother and Kratos' wife. Atreus, who had poor qi-cultivation skills and could not control himself, was induced to suffer from an old childhood illness - in fact, it was a chronic illness caused by the conflict between his self-cognition and his nature as a god.

In this world, although the process is very different, the final result is very similar.

Originally, Li You's instructions to Youzi and V were to delay time as much as possible and prevent Modi from coming to disrupt the situation.

After all, no matter how useless Modi is, his fighting ability is not weak. Li You doesn't think that Yuzu and the other two can defeat or even kill his physical body.

Yuzu and V followed Li You's instructions and kept dealing with Modi. The two worked together seamlessly and successfully trapped Modi, preventing him from achieving any results.

After all, to put it the other way around, although Modi is quite strong, he is indeed stupid.

But then Atreus got involved.

This child has inherited some of Kratos' temperament, and in this world he has missed several opportunities to grow due to Li You's interference. His mentality is even more immature than his counterpart in the game.

Modi saw this and immediately started to provoke Atreus, using words similar to those in the game to anger Atreus and irritate Atreus' nerves.

"Can you hold on? Can your little branch-like arms hold the bow?"

"Is your mother ugly? Is it because you look like her that she carved words on your face with a knife?"

"Your mom must be a bitch who only sleeps with people like your dad..."

Atreus was already inexperienced, and more importantly, there was no Kratos to suppress him. Under Modi's repeated verbal stimulation, he finally became so angry that he lost his judgment and even gave up shooting. He roared, drew his knife and rushed towards him!
Atreus' recklessness also shocked Yuzu and V. They naturally wanted to stop him, and Yuzu even planned to transform into the second stage on her own initiative, but Modi suddenly swung the lightning spear in his hand, and several lightning bolts that were almost solidified fell from the sky, trapping the two!
After all, Yuzu and V were not like Li You, who could leave enough room in the battle with Modi. At this moment, they were unable to break through this obstacle. They could only watch as Modi knocked Atreus down with his shield and stabbed the dagger into Atreus' shoulder with his backhand!

"Little devil, you really overestimate your own abilities!"

Modi sneered sharply and lifted the exhausted Atreus from the ground with one hand.

"You should just stay with your dad and stop trying to play with the bow - you're a burden to everyone!"

Atreus was originally injured and could hardly resist, but when he heard these words, the anger that was already boiling in his chest ignited even more fiercely!

then……

“Ahhhh——!!”

With a roar, the flames of Spartan rage burst out from Atreus' body. The burning power frightened Modi so much that his hands hurt, and he subconsciously let go of Atreus.

However, Atreus was unable to control this power. He only felt the rage burning fiercely in his chest, as if it was going to burn him to ashes!
Then, unable to withstand the flames of Sparta's wrath, he suffered backlash and fell.

——Although it is somewhat different from the game process,

At this moment, seeing Atreus fall, Kratos no longer cared about Balder. He roared, and his arms ignited with flames of divine power!

The real wrath of Sparta!
"boom!!"

Kratos, whose divine power suddenly burst out, punched Balder who was blocking his way and rushed towards his son!

Modi was planning to withstand the attacks from Yuzu and V and carry Atreus away, but then he saw Kratos rushing towards him!
"Boom-!!"

Modi was knocked away in an instant, flying farther than Bader!
Balder over there was simply blown into the river and had already climbed up from the ground.

But he did not chase him. He just saw Kratos pick up Atreus and frowned slightly: "That kid, could it be... Humph, let's stop here this time."

As he spoke, he whistled to call his mount, the red dragon, jumped up, grabbed the red dragon's claws, and flew into the sky.
