Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 185 35. We are not strong, nor can we decide our fate

Zhou Ke is here.

He didn't bring anyone with him, just the poisoned knife.

That famous sword heirloomed by Takahashi Santaifu, the first psychic weapon in the Badlands era, followed the coward to surrender to Chaos and also dormant in the body of the Time Lord with Takahashi Santaifu, undergoing the Chaos transformation together.

Takahashi's promotion was interrupted, and the bastard who almost ruined two world-saving projects by his own efforts was truly crushed to ashes.

But the knife was preserved.

It's always innocent.

A weapon is merely an extension of the will of its wielder.

What it can do depends only on the ability of the person holding the knife. In the hands of a villain, it can only hide in the scabbard and disappear in the shadows, but in the hands of a hero, it can create unprecedented achievements.

Zhou Ke is neither a scum nor a hero.

His self-positioning is always strange. For example, when he first arrived in the Badlands, he wanted to become a Badlands tycoon. When he was in the City-State District, he was also obsessed with the art of destruction. But now, Zhou Ke feels that he has grown up.

He finally chose a path that was most suitable for him, and he finally chose a clear enough goal for himself.

Well, first I'll take down that increasingly annoying Garden of Eden, light the first fire that will burn down Paradise with my own hands, and then watch its fall with wild laughter.

the rest
Let's talk about it after completing the first goal.

But to do this, Zhou Ke is now facing a small "trouble". He must rely on himself to kill the "strongest man in the evil land" in front of him.

To be honest, he never thought of himself as a violent person.

He always believed that his real weapons were his brain and courage, but there was no way. Fate would not always throw you into your favorite arena. No matter how lucky you were, you would encounter opponents that you could not defeat with your brain and plans.

But he came anyway.

After the deaths of Dr. Qin Ge and Takahashi Santai, there are only three of them left in the two timelines who are directly involved in the "Eternal Singularity" project.

Snake Man has formed an alliance with him, so he and Wu Qinhu must make a break as the "final work" of this damn project.

Just like no matter what product is manufactured, a quality test needs to be done after the physical product comes off the production line. Since it carries the name "Lan", the Wu Qinhu in front of him is his "final test".

Think about it in a positive way. If he can kill Wu Qinhu, he will definitely get an absurdly powerful permanent mask. Perhaps this is the destiny of those who like to watch some weird things.

Only when he got Wu Qinhu's mask could he be considered a "complete Lan".

"Hey, stop posing like you think you're cool but you're actually stupid. I'm coming!"

Zhou Ke appeared in the increasingly strong wind and sand and shouted to Wu Qinhu who was sitting on the hill.

The latter opened his eyes, grabbed the replica of the scissor blade stuck in front of him and stood up. As the exaggerated "God of War" cloak swayed, the old Tiger King stared at Zhou Ke below.

The weapons in their hands were exactly the same.

The only difference is that one is the genuine product and the other is a knockoff.

But this does not mean that there is any essential difference between the two knives. All the imitation blades are carefully crafted by Takahashi Sandayo, using the same materials and the same techniques and steps.

Theoretically, the difference in destructive power between genuine and counterfeit products is negligible.

The only difference is probably that the blade in Zhou Ke's hand has undergone a wave of time enhancement, giving it the eternal enchantments of "aging strike" and "time extraction".

But Wu Qinhu's one wasn't bad either.

Especially when the Tiger King covered the sharp blade with his sublimated power in the form of red fire, the direct destructive power of that thing was definitely greater than the knife in Zhou Ke's hand.

Uncle Ohm had taught him a long time ago that the destructive power of psychic weapons depends only on the strength of the wielder himself.

"That's quite courageous."

Wu Qinhu strode forward with his scissor blade in hand. As the red storm of power surged around him, the wind and sand around him, which had become increasingly noisy due to the collapse of the time maze, formed a rotating ring to make way for him.

"When the other people in the Bad Land hear that they are going to duel with me, eight out of ten will piss themselves on the spot, the remaining two will go crazy, and there may be a few cowards who run away. You are not a warrior, nor a samurai, Zhou Ke.

But you had the courage to come.

In this respect, you have surpassed most people in the Bad Lands and are qualified to become a true legend."

Wu Qinhu said slowly:

"Of course, it could also be that the piece I took away was very important to you, so you had to come."

"The 'practical sample' left by Dr. Fu Lan is indeed very important. With it, I can negotiate with Old Acholi and even the entire Garden of Eden."

Zhou Ke stretched out his hand and pushed the Thunder Mask on his face that he had not taken off since he got it. He swung the sharp blade to let strands of electricity wrap around the blade, and said:
“But I didn’t come here for that thing. Even without it, with my brain, I can find something else to negotiate with the people in heaven sooner or later.

I came here to settle this shit!
Eternal Singularity
I just found out about the thing that changed the lives of you, me and old Yuri. It turns out that the "bad fate" between us was formed before I was born.

Well, just like the last time you and I fought, I'm going to ask this as if following some strange ritual.

Can it be reconciled? "

"Then I'll answer you with the same words!"

The ground beneath Wu Qinhu's feet was shattering, and he rushed forward like a blood-stained tiger descending from the mountain to kill. When Zhou Ke turned into lightning and retreated, he heard the tiger king's roar:

"Now? Are you kidding me?!"

"boom"

The sharp blade cut through the air but the force was unrestricted. The moment the red blade touched the ground, an exaggerated crack in the ground was transmitted along the blade and tore a hole in the ground.

Logically speaking, a fighter of Wu Qinhu's level has already perfected the control of his strength, and this kind of power leakage would not occur, but since it has occurred, it means that Old Wu no longer intends to hold back.

Life and death!

There is no third possibility.

"Come on, liven up the atmosphere, you boring guy."

Zhou Ke curled his lips.

Now that he was already here, he wouldn't feel comfortable hiding behind his lightning incarnation. Most importantly, Sasha, the user of genuine power, was no match for Wu Qinhu, so he shouldn't be so confident in using his "second-hand power".

If Wu Qinhu couldn't even deal with the elemental transformation, he wouldn't have the status and reputation he has today.

In order to avoid being caught in a flaw and killed in one move, Zhou Ke decided to take the initiative to attack. While Wu Qinhu was "swaying after the attack", he flashed over and slashed with his sword.

But guess what?

There's no such thing as "swaying forward and backward" for this guy. He has all kinds of martial arts in his mind, and he blocks it casually as if he knows what's going on, accurately blocking Zhou Ke's blade.

The double blades collided and cut apart, splashing dazzling light in the intersection of electricity and anger.

"Borrowed power!"

Wu Qinhu pressed forward step by step, brandishing his blade. He casually asked as he strolled in the garden with the intention of killing him:

“But will you really use it?”

"I'll still give you something to do, Lao Deng!"

Zhou Ke retorted. When the cutting speed of Wu Qinhu's blade exceeded his dynamic intuition and even his enhanced nerve reflexes could not capture the trajectory of the blade, he decisively gathered all the energy of the Thunder Mask into his body, and then temporarily improved his physical fitness by applying the electric current enhancement that covered himself like a "thunder suit".

This is a deep application of elementalization. Zhou Ke didn't come here to die on a whim. Before coming, he asked Sasha in detail how to use this mask.

Although this behavior of using someone else's power to ask for the method of use is somewhat like "NTR in person", for the sake of Snake Man and Xiaoya, Sasha, who was tied up all the way, reluctantly told him the method.

At this moment, the body was covered by thunder, and the stimulation of the active cells by the electric current made the knife light flashing in Zhou Ke's eyes suddenly "slow down".

And this "special effect" of blue electric current covering the body and running around is quite cool. Under Wu Qinhu's raised eyebrow gaze, each of his slashing and executing moves was actually blocked by Zhou Ke with not so decent but very practical moves.

This made the one-sided "hot-blooded fencing" even more entertaining. Just when Zhou Ke felt that he was gradually adapting to this fast-break rhythm, Wu Qinhu suddenly said:

"Adapted? Then I'll speed up."

"???"

Three question marks floated on Zhou Ke’s forehead.

The next second, the sword dance suddenly accelerated twice as fast, leaving him with at least thirty-two knife wounds all over his body.

How exaggerated is the speed of swinging the sword at this time?

Wu Qinhu used only his physical strength to perform the "Sword Light" move, which only appears frequently in high-level martial arts movies. That means his speed has exceeded the limit of Zhou Ke's secondary enhanced nerve reaction.

"whoosh"

Zhou Ke distanced himself in the flash, but before he could catch his breath, a big foot wrapped in red anger hit him in the chest, causing him to fly off on the spot, and the next moment he was "embedded" into the exploding boulder.

Zhou Ke knew he had to hide, but just as he stood up, the Tiger King flashed over again, even leaving a moving afterimage, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up from the rubble in front of him.

"Do you have any misunderstanding about the power of 'Infinite Enhancement', kid?"

Wu Qinhu had the look of a strong man who "couldn't have enough fun".

His short gray hair stood up in burning anger, and even his eyes seemed to be covered with a faint light. The wrinkles on his forehead caused by eternal cutting really made him feel oppressive at this moment, like a "tiger pouncing on its prey."

他 说:

"I warned you at the beginning that you are not a warrior! Don't try to defeat me in the field where I have already reached the top. You cannot win without using the true power of 'Lan'. Don't use your half-baked psychic power to embarrass yourself!
As the 'Eternal Singularity', it is impossible for you to obtain the true blessing of chaos.

You and I both know this!

That bastard Takahashi Santaifu tried to destroy you in the most insidious way, but the subspace failed to defeat you. Since you have survived the misfortune that even I could not resist, let me see your true abilities, Zhou Ke.

Or is it that the pressure I put on you in my current state is still not enough? In your words, how about I improve it a little and give you a 'whole life'?"

"No need, I've tasted enough."

Zhou Ke replied, and then the Shadow Warrior appeared and defeated Old Wu with a series of moves. Of course, Old Wu retreated on his own initiative, as he had already seen the Shadow Warrior's moves during the chaos in Research Institute No. 2.

That "first kill" allowed Zhou Ke to stab him in the heart, almost forcing out Old Wu's "second form".

But this thing is only effective the first time for a warrior of Wu Qinhu's level. To use an old saying, the same trick will not work a second time on the Tiger King.

"Well, let me make it clear in advance."

Zhou Ke rubbed his broken chest, spat bloody saliva to the side, and said to Old Wu:
"I've never used this trick before, so I can't say for sure what will happen. If I can surprise you, I'll be happy. If I disappoint you, don't blame me."

As he spoke, he took off the Thunder Mask from his face and flicked his fingers lightly. All the masks in Zhou Ke's hands were suspended in front of him and thrown to the three shadow warriors who were protecting him.

Old Merck, you work hard and the Thunder will give you that.

Uncle Ohm, you have made great contributions to the enlightenment, so Shadow takes it. Ajie, you have worked hard and made great contributions, so Black Beast rewards you.

As for Zhou Ke, the commander-in-chief of this "four-man combat team", he needs to maintain absolute rationality, so the Metal Hunter is brought along.

To be honest, Zhou Ke didn’t know if this would work.

After all, the Mask of Power is an ability bestowed by Chaos, while the Shadow Warrior comes from the Power of the End. Judging from the degree of opposition between the two, a random combination might cause a tragedy of explosion on the spot. But now it is time, as Wu Qinhu said, if he doesn't show some "talent", he will probably die here today.

Although the snake man was hiding in the wind and sand not far away and peeping at the screen, he would definitely intervene if Zhou Ke was about to die, but it was a duel we agreed on, right?
Although Zhou Ke is not a warrior, he still has to have some dignity.

He took a deep breath and grasped the edge of the Metal Hunter's mask. As if with a 400% synchronization rate, the other three shadow warriors also raised their hands and grasped the masks in front of them, putting them on their faces at the same time.

The next second, there was no strange phenomenon in heaven and earth, no fifty-fold increase in power, and no exaggerated performance. It seemed that everything was normal.

But just when Wu Qinhu lost his patience and came with a knife to kill Zhou Ke, the dazzling thunder burst out in an instant like a roaring beast, and its power was even able to compete with Sasha, the "genuine power holder".

While Old Merck raised his hands in the classic scene of "Redemption of the Kidney-Cutter" and slowly rose up like the God of Thunder, causing lightning and thunder to fill the sky, Ajie completed the full coverage of the "Black Beast Armor" with the movement of his shoulders and then shaped two ferocious biological battle axes with the swing of his hands.

The most low-key Uncle Ohm took the blade handed to him by Zhou Ke, took a step back, and hid in the shadows like an assassin.

"Ha, I did it!"

Zhou Ke, who was absolutely rational, chuckled, stretched out his hands and took off the two Mechanical Sage specialized plasma pistols and melta pistols from the mechanical arms moving at his shoulders.

他 说:

"As you wish, I have brought out all my abilities, Tiger King. J's demons challenge you!"

"1V4?"

Wu Qinhu shook his numb fingers and looked at Zhou Ke in front of him. He finally showed a satisfied smile for the first time since the battle began and said:
"Ah, the duel is finally fair. Come on, Zhou Ke, monster! Let the blood reach the heavens and see who will win the final fate!"

"boom"

The collision of the sharp blades caused Old Wu to block Uncle Ohm's assassination attempt amidst the black smoke. However, the next moment, the dancing thunder hit the Tiger King directly, causing no damage. But Old Merck didn't think about dealing any damage. The paralysis released by a true psychic master was not something that Zhou Ke, a half-baked one, could compare to.

While kicking Uncle Ohm away, Ajie's double battle axes also smashed down head-on with tremendous force.

The combat skills of this biochemical warrior who had fought with Wu Qinhu were also much higher than those of the half-baked Zhou Ke. He was not afraid of the Tiger King in short-term close combat. Zhou Ke, who was in the state of a sharpshooter, had already started to carry out diversionary attacks at medium distance.

The most important thing is that Wu Qinhu missed one thing.

There are more than four people on Zhou Ke's side.

Yes, five!
"37° deflection at the lower left corner! Scattering on the right wing! There is a 37% chance that the opponent will go straight to the center, be careful to keep your distance! The enhancement of the mask has given the shadow warriors complete combat instincts. You don't need to care about how others fight, you just fill in the position and divert the opponent!
Do your job, Joker."

Wuneng constantly reminded Zhou Ke of the best decision at this time through bone conduction. The "Perfect Wuneng" whose brain was liberated was no longer the idiot who suggested Zhou Ke to gamble his life.

It has enough plans and strong enough computing power to build a tactical information collection platform for Zhou Ke. Zhou Ke doesn't even need to observe with his naked eyes. He only needs to concentrate on fighting and responding. As for information collection, even if Zhou Ke's visual nerves and reaction ability are improved to the limit, he is definitely no match for Wuneng's supercomputing brain.

This is how groups are formed.

This scene stunned the others who were hiding in the wind and sand and peeking.

Amanda opened her mouth wide, watching the "J" Legion in front of her trap Wu Qinhu on the battlefield like a tiger. Even in the seventeenth second of the resumption of the battle, Wu Qinhu was forced to undergo "three-stage strengthening" in order to withstand the siege of four sublimators at the same time.

Sasha and Levi, the loving couple, held hands and exchanged glances. Sasha made a ten gesture, meaning that under such an attack, she could only last ten minutes at most, while Levi shook his head and made a three gesture.

What I mean is, my dear wife, stop flattering yourself.

With the J Corps' current integrated "Super Sublimator" offensive, you'd be considered impressive if you could hold out for three minutes without running away.

Even the snake man stood up and looked.

You know, when Zhou Ke was fighting alone just now, this old man was sitting on the ground and didn't even show any interest. This change in attitude made Qiao Ya blink.

She knew she couldn't understand, so she asked humbly:

"Old man, what are the chances of winning now?"

"Let's go fifty-fifty."

Snake Man stared at the battlefield. He said:
"Zhou Ke's masks were not fully enhanced, otherwise Old Wu would have lost. But on the other hand, Old Wu's vitality that was taken away by the Eternal Cut was too fatal. He could not really enhance himself to the most perfect 'Demigod Critical' form, otherwise Zhou Ke would have lost.

But given the current situation, I’m not too sure about the outcome.

So, this is the true power of the Eternal Singularity?"

"how about you?"

Qiao Ya whispered:
"If it were you."

"If Zhou Ke could break a piece of my skin against me 20 years ago, he would win, but now..."

Snake Man shook his head and said:
"I failed to stick to my belief under such heavy pressure and have lost the possibility of reaching the top. Zhou Ke, maybe he can. Old Wu has always believed that only the strong are worthy of controlling their destiny, but what is a strong person? Only those who suppress all those who disobey can be called strong!
He is the one who crushed Zhou Ke’s will to resist with two punches just now and is what we call a strong man.

What now?
He was entangled and could not make the final decision even if he strengthened himself again.

Most importantly, this was the first time Zhou Ke used the power of 'Lan' in this way, which meant that his skills were far from reaching their peak!
But Old Wu has reached a point where he needs external help to complete his transformation, and his potential has been fully tapped.

According to his philosophy, he is no longer a strong man, and his hegemony has been lost.
He lost! "

"puff"

It's like the highest level of crow's mouth.

The moment Snake Man finished speaking, Uncle Ohm broke out of the shadows again, and the scissors in his hands crossed and stabbed into Wu Qinhu's lower back.

The damage caused by this knife was not high, but the moment the poison on the knife came into contact with the poisonous blood that Levi had already injected into Wu Qinhu's body, the erosion was intensified tenfold in a short period of time, making Wu Qinhu feel painful and weak.

His response speed suddenly slowed down, which was equivalent to dropping his weapon and passively taking a beating in this high-intensity confrontation.

How could Zhou Ke miss this opportunity?

He rolled over and rushed over amid Wuneng's screams, and like a Holy Lance Ranger, he opened the firing rate of both weapons to the maximum, hitting Wu Qinhu with a bang, making him retreat repeatedly, while Ajie and Uncle Ohm tried to steal damage like crazy, and even the old Merck who was controlling the field made a terrifying "spirit bomb" to hit him.

The Tiger King was defeated in an instant, as if he was thrown into a storm of blades and rolled around. Franny was about to rush over to help with her tomahawk, but just as she started, she heard a soft bang and a bullet hit her feet.

Biao Wei looked up and saw Qiao Ya rushing out from the wind and sand with a gun aimed at her.

This girl has no deterrent power at all, but the people who followed her, such as Snake Man, Sasha, Levi, Amanda, Vulture, and Afu, can bury her with just a snap of their fingers.

The other Biaowei did not appear in the wind and sand, perhaps they had already made their own choices.

But Wu Qinhu is still fighting!

He was at a disadvantage but did not stop. He risked getting injured and took the opportunity to crush Uncle Ohm, who was the most threatening, on the spot. The shadow mask also shattered, leaving Zhou Ke with no chance to retrieve it. However, the return of energy brought by the shattered mask made him even more powerful.

He grabbed the blade left by Uncle Ohm and continued to rush forward with the gun in one hand.

The second person to be crushed was Ajie, and the black beast mask also collapsed.

Poor Qiao Shan who doesn't even know where he is fighting now. This thing was originally a means for him to break through and sublimate, but it was taken away in advance by an unscrupulous "banker".

But that’s about it.

Wu Qinhu had no chance to continue defeating the old Merck who was in control of the situation. The moment he swung his sword to charge, Zhou Ke flashed out and at the cost of having the melta gun in his hand cut off, he used a tricky "Phoenix Flying Through Flowers" posture to pierce Wu Qinhu's heart with his blade.

Quick and accurate.

Old Wu seemed to have lost the strength to resist all of a sudden, and the sword in his hand dropped down.

But he and Zhou Ke both knew that this was not the end.

The secondary heart will start up soon, and then Zhou Ke will have to face the completely enraged Wu Qinhu.

However, for the Tiger King, the duel was actually over.

A strong man like him who has "ruled" the evil land for more than 30 years would not bother to play with concepts. The fact that Zhou Ke was able to take away his "first life" by his own means has already demonstrated the value of the "Eternal Singularity".

The most direct example.

It took him more than thirty years to improve himself to this level, and Zhou Ke had only been in the Bad Land for less than seven months.

"I ask you"

Old Wu lowered his head and let the blood on his face drip onto the blade in Zhou Ke's hand.

He said hoarsely:

"If your master commands you to carry out the order of destruction"

"Owner?"

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"I am a mad dog thrown into the apocalypse. My purpose here is to devour anyone I choose. I will keep running until I rot. That is my only ending. I have no master, and I will never have one!"

"You have! You and I both know that one day you will have to face the End. You have a piece of Him in your body. You are a part of Him! You cannot resist the orders of the End!"

Old Wu asked:

"What would you do if He asked you to destroy? If you could resist, would you use this power to save as they expect?"

"Well, it depends."

Zhou Ke pulled the blade out of Wu Qinhu's heart bit by bit.

He shook off the blood on the dusty blade and answered seriously:

"I'm not stupid. If anyone tells me to destroy something, I'll do it. Don't I need to use my own standards to judge whether something should be destroyed? If someone insists on forcing me, what do you think I would do given my personality?"

As for salvation
Do not make jokes!
The left side of my brain is chaos, the right side of my brain is the end, and if I shake my head I can turn it into a pot of pig brain soup.

I don’t know what’s in that thing, just like sometimes I can’t control the inspiration that will burst out in the next second, but I can be sure that saving it is not my job. ”

He turned around to look at the people behind him and said to Old Wu:
"But maybe they'll be willing to accept the mess I leave behind. After all, isn't that what a strong collaborator is for?"

"Hmm, so your self-image is the 'inquisitor' before the end, right?"

Wu Qinhu let out a low laugh.

As his breathing became more and more rapid, like the breathing of a wild animal, he said:
"Okay, okay, it's not the worst result. At least they gave the civilization that was doomed to perish a chance to stand before the judge. Even though the judge is a monster who calls himself 'Mad Dog', I can't ask them to do any better.

周柯
I use my failure to express my recognition of you. This "Martial God" mask is a gift to you."

"Thank you. Your recognition will stay with me forever."

Zhou Ke swung his sword and it rang. He said:
"I enjoyed this battle immensely. Of course, it would have been even better if there hadn't been a second phase."
