From the end of the world

Chapter 470 VS Dog 1
With the crash and explosion like a meteorite hitting the earth, the dog appeared in front of me. Previously, I had talked with Liu Shuying about whether I would be exposed by the real apostle of the virtual realm if I "impersonated" the apostle of the virtual realm. At this moment, a genuine apostle of the virtual realm actually appeared, and the speed of "responding" was beyond my expectation.

Of course, the dog came here to catch the "fake virtual realm apostle". It was more like he wanted to attack me because I destroyed this branch base. This behavior was like saying that he stood on the side of this branch base - on the side of the extreme transcendentalists.

And this is what puzzles me the most.

Although I have not communicated with Dog many times, I can see that under his cold attitude, the fire of enthusiasm and kindness has not been completely extinguished. When I first met Xiaowan, he seemed to suspect that I was a bad person and tried to cover up for Xiaowan.

In addition, knowing how many evil things those extreme supernormalists have done in this branch base, Xu Gou is even less likely to stand on their side, because he used to be a test subject of the Humanitarian Department and suffered countless abuses and oppressions that ordinary people can't imagine. Although in the Humanitarian Department, ordinary people treat demon hunters as test subjects, while here demon hunters treat ordinary people as test subjects, it seems to be completely opposite, but in Xu Gou's opinion, it should be the same.

Because according to the information I have, Xu Gou was just an ordinary person before he was forced to undergo the transformation surgery of the Twelve Gods Plan.

The original intention of the Twelve Gods Project was to better research the technology to transform ordinary people into super warriors of the Great Perfection level. Cases like Chen Long, who was already a Great Perfection level demon hunter before undergoing the transformation surgery, were special. If Chen Long became a Great Perfection level in the Twelve Gods Project but was still not recognized as a successful case, it was because of his original strength; then Xu Gou was because he had a fragment of the God Seal implanted in his body, which made it very difficult to replicate.

The Dog should be extremely hateful of the powerful people who carry out human experiments on ordinary people.

No matter what, since the other party attacked with hostility, I should also fight back. This sudden change made me feel excited. It is indeed less dangerous to just overwhelmingly destroy enemies who are much weaker than me. It is reasonable to have such a hard bone to chew.

A violent flash of light erupted from the palm of my hand again, and a heat-destructive ray of light powerful enough to burn through a mountain blasted towards the direction of the Dog.

Facing this attack, the armor on Xu Gou's right arm rapidly deformed and turned into a gigantic black metal blade, which chopped down with a force that seemed to be able to split the ocean.

Just like an indestructible reef blocking the turbulence, the orange-red thermal destructive light was actually split into two by the slash, passing by his body on both sides.

At the same time, he raised his left arm. The armored arm rapidly transformed into a gun barrel, the muzzle pointed at me, and a silver-white light burst out from it.

A huge beam of light, enough to blind a normal person's eyes upon seeing it, blasted towards me.

Compared with the black and red light of Fate Turbidity, his beam attack was still a little weaker in terms of speed and hit rate. The hit rate mentioned here is not about accuracy, but involves the level of manipulating fate and cause and effect. Although I did not expect his left arm to turn into a cannon in advance, I still avoided the attack at the critical moment.

However, this attack seemed to be just a feint to distract me. When I turned my attention back to the dog and the surroundings, the scene around me had changed.

The wreckage of the building complex that I blew away, the explosion smoke caused by the dog's arrival, and the living people such as the Great Perfection Level Impermanence who stayed nearby were all gone. Although I was still in the original place from the terrain, my intuition told me that this was another place. It was as if the enemy had created a copy space exactly the same as the original place just now, and transferred me to it.

This is probably not a metaphor... I carefully sensed the spatial state around me and found that I had entered a different spatial area that was similar to an independent real space without knowing when.

"——Who are you?"

The dog's voice rang in my mind. This was telepathy. Not only was he wearing "powered armor", but he also communicated in a way that was like talking through a communicator.

"Like you, Dog, I am also an Apostle of the Void Realm," I said, "You can continue to call me 'Number Three'."

Compared to the cold "No. 3", I actually wanted to choose a more handsome name as my code name for the virtual world apostle debut in the real world. But it happened suddenly, I didn't have time to prepare in advance, and Lu Chan had complained about my poor naming taste not long ago, and I lacked confidence, so I couldn't think of a good name for the time being.

I definitely can't use my real name, so I can use "Dawn"? But Fa Zheng will definitely recognize it if he hears it; or like the water master Xuanwu, I call myself "Suzaku" with my own power seed as the source? Then people who know that I am the descendant of Liangyi will probably be suspicious.

The dog said in a cold voice: "Do you think I will believe you just by saying something nonsense?"

Like the Great Master, he also showed an attitude of distrust. The difference was that his distrust was not self-deception, but seemed to be certain. He continued as if he was observing the space itself: "You called yourself the 'Third Apostle of the Void Realm' to those people before... In other words, you want others to think you are 'Number Three'?"

He may have historical research abilities and be able to see things that happened in the past.

"You can deceive those who don't know the truth, but you can't deceive me!"

At the end, the armor on his right arm turned into a cannon, firing silver-white beams at me from both sides.

Now it became difficult for me to dodge. I also needed to disguise my identity, and I couldn't directly summon fire to fight back; and if I just manipulated light, the counterattack would not be enough to offset this silver-white beam. In terms of defense, light is not a defensive force, and the orange-red light barrier it formed was not enough to block the opponent's attack.

According to my observation, the density of this silver-white beam is similar to that of me in my normal state, and cannot be compared with "solar eclipse". However, the magic power that constitutes the beam has a special nature, which makes its destructive power rise to a big level. In terms of pure destructive power, it is even close to the level of life turbidity.

This property feels familiar to me, as if it is similar to the "gold and killing power" used to forge the Yama Sword. This is the most destructive attribute among the descendants of Liangyi.

It is very likely that when Ying Lingyun transformed the Dog in the Twelve Gods Project, he also incorporated his research results on the White Tiger's killing power. However, the Dog does not really have the White Tiger's killing power, but only has similar characteristics to it.

Among the five elements, fire can overcome metal. If I fight with the real descendant of the White Tiger, even if I can only manipulate light, I can still suppress him at the same level. But the power of the dog does not follow the framework of the four images and five elements. It is obviously an imitator of the killing power of the White Tiger, but it only takes the benefits and does not seem to have any disadvantages. It is really cunning.

But this is not incomprehensible. In essence, the power of the dog comes from the fragments of the divine seal. Compared with the power of the fragments of the divine seal, even the five elements of the Shan Liangyi magic power is likely to be inferior. Using the power of the upper level to simulate the power of the lower level is to present a more advantageous form than the power of the lower level.

At the same time, I also understood why the Luoshan branch base that I attacked was shrouded by the power of the divine seal fragment.

That was probably the work of the Dog. Although I didn't understand what effect the power of the God Seal fragment shrouding there had, it could explain why I could sense the power of the God Seal fragment but couldn't sense where it was. As both were Void Realm Apostles, they wouldn't react to each other's God Seal fragments.

So... how should we fight next? It is not convenient for me to take out the slag weapon here. The power inside is too compressed and too "heavy", even I can't control it, let alone extract the light part. And if I release the flame in front of the dog, my identity will still be exposed.

While thinking quickly, I asked back, "Oh? How am I not number three?"

"I know the true identity of Number Three, and I have personally witnessed his power. His power form and mana fluctuations are completely different from yours." Xu Gou said in a deep voice, "Now that you have been exposed to this extent, do you still have the audacity to continue pretending to be an apostle of the Void Realm?"

He said he had seen my power... I remembered that at the last moment when the virtual world was broken, I released flames in front of everyone to protect Xiaowan. It seems that my behavior at that time left an impression on him. Now he must have known that "No. 3" is "Luoshan Dawuchang Zhuangcheng".

I don't mind if he knows this, the problem is that "I who am here" must be recognized as an apostle of a certain virtual realm.

Since Xu Gou was on the side of the branch base that I destroyed, he probably had a connection with Taoyuan Township, or even with the Taoyuan Township Lord. I needed to make the Taoyuan Township Lord treat the attack on this branch base as "the Void Realm Apostle's attack for the God Seal Fragment", otherwise it would not end well.

How can I make Xu Gou believe that I am number three? This route is definitely not feasible... Even if I am not number three, at least I have to make Xu Gou believe that I am also a virtual realm apostle.

I had a general idea in my mind, and then I said meaningfully: "——Pretend? I don't understand what you mean, No. 1."

"You...!?" Xu Gou made a surprised sound.
