Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 475 Threat to the Balance
hum-

An invisible pressure surged like a tide, and at that moment Wu Wang felt as if he had been sunk to the very bottom of the deep sea.

The water pressure from all directions made it hard for him to breathe.

He could hear the blood flowing through his body, his heart pounding at an extreme speed, and even the gaps between his bones made a creaking sound as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

What a load of rubbish!

How can someone control you like this before even fighting?
Wu Wang sighed and asked, "Won't the Cyber ​​Monk break his vows by killing someone?"

The warden remained silent, but slowly rose from his cross-legged position and began to approach Wu Wang's location step by step.

As he passed by Ryan, the usually arrogant prison guard captain was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

He could sense a murderous intent emanating from the warden that he had never felt before.

I was surprised and even a little scared.

At the same time, there was also some doubt.

Before the widow arrived at the Demon Prison, the warden himself told her that Heaven Prison would be sending a rather dim-witted guard to participate in stopping the [Doomsday Prophet's] undercover plan.

If the warden already knew about the widow's existence, why did he wait a day or two in prison before killing him?

And wasn't the widow transferred from Heaven Prison? Why is Charlotte, the origin consciousness of Demon Prison, in Heaven Prison?
But Ryan dared not ask these questions now; he could only lie on the ground trembling.

Perhaps after things have settled down, after the widow has been killed by the warden.

He can only tentatively ask before he leaves.

Boom--boom--

The warden's metallic feet pounded on the stone floor, the sound of his footsteps echoing through the empty temple.

The sound was both lonely and ethereal.

It also carried a sense of oppression.

"I am about to kill this individual, the widow, whose consciousness is possessed by you, without any hatred involved."

"As the origin of this demigod body, I have always held you in high esteem. After all, those who dare to face the gods are certainly not mortals."

"But you are already dead, and you have failed on the path to meet the gods."

“Please accept this fact and be willing to become the key to my progress. In this way, I should be able to preserve a wisp of your consciousness so that you can witness my pilgrimage.”

Even when the warden was trying to persuade Wu Wang to surrender, his voice remained completely devoid of emotion, just the calm, electronic tone.

Faced with his explanation.

Wu Wang forced himself to lift his head despite the immense pressure on his body, grinned, and asked, "Become the key? What do you want me to help you unlock?"

He certainly couldn't be bothered to argue with the warden about not being Charlotte.

It's obvious that the other party won't listen at all.

Why not use Charlotte's name to ask the person in charge of the Demon Prison about all the anomalies here!

Upon hearing Wu Wang's response, the warden paused in his tracks.

As he said, he actually respected Charlotte very much, and he wouldn't hesitate to answer questions that he could answer easily.

Then the warden said, “I need the eternal divine power within your remains; that will be my hope of meeting Him.”

"However, the uncontrolled divine power was imprisoned and completely unusable. I could only start with the products born from the residual influence of its power, which was memory ore."

"The divine power that can be extracted from memory ore is too thin. I don't know how many years it will take for me to truly obtain divine power based solely on this."

“Now that your consciousness has returned from the distant past, I believe you must have a way to control your remains. If you can unleash the divine power within them, I promise you I will never break my word.”

Listen to what the warden said.

Wu Wang's lips twitched slightly.

Brother, the "divine power" you speak of is actually "spiritual pollution" that could destroy countless worlds!

They're even going to pay homage to the Abyss God?
If this thing were to be truly unleashed, the first person you'd encounter would be God, whose brain would be so contaminated it would explode on the spot!
"That's not right. If I could really control the release of divine power, why would I be subject to your control? Why can't I just control a Gundam and let you crush me?"

Wu Wang retorted.

In response, the warden let out a mechanical, electronic laugh.

"Hehehe, I've already told you, you're already a loser. This remains have essentially become a shackle of out-of-control divine power. It won't be so easy for you to take back everything you've lost."

"Even without my help, if you rashly try to awaken the power of the gods, you will not only fail, but you will also be completely devoured by them. At that time, you will truly die."

The warden raised his hand and waved.

A fist-sized stone suddenly fell off the statue behind him.

Only after it landed in front of Wu Wang could one observe that it was not a stone artifact, but a mass of liquid metal changing shape like slime.

It quickly took the shape of a lock.

The next second, a wire-like object was inserted into the keyhole and began to twist, just like a thief picking a lock.

when--

However, a moment later the wire snapped with a crisp sound, as if vividly illustrating the situation the warden had described.

He looked at the lock and wire and said calmly, "This is your fate."

“But if you choose to assist me, I can use the fact that this remains were once the vessel of your soul to mold you into a key.”

After saying that, he reached out and pinched the broken piece of wire.

When he opened his hand again, the wire had transformed into a simple bronze key, which he then slowly inserted into the lock.

Click——

This time, the seemingly unbreakable iron lock was successfully opened.

"Although you have lost the right to possess divine power as the key, you can at least witness the revival of this power again. I believe you, as a fellow pilgrim of the gods, can understand that."

He casually turned the lock and key back into liquid metal and threw them behind him. They floated upwards as if they were not subject to the laws of gravity, and finally returned to the broken part of the statue to fill it in.

The warden's cold, red-glowing optical lens scanned Wu Wang from top to bottom.

He stepped forward again.

Clearly, his words were not a request for Wu Wang's opinion, but merely a notification.

Whether Wu died willingly or not, his actions would not change.

Feeling that tidal wave of pressure surge over him again, Wu Wang struggled to keep from collapsing.

Suddenly, with a stomp of his foot, several ghostly figures emerged from the shadow, attempting to alleviate the eerie pressure by attacking the warden.

However, even though the ghosts of the [Five Ghosts Moving Technique] are among the top in terms of pure physical strength.

However, each attack that struck the warden's metal body had absolutely no effect on it, except for the clanging sounds.

It couldn't even budge the opponent's body, not even a slight twist of the head.

This scene made Wu Wang's gaze freeze.

It then conjured several more clones.

The cooldown time for [Seven Star Steps of Heaven] has long since passed after a night's rest.

He now plans to attack the warden on two fronts: using his clone to restrict his physical body and his ghost to attack his soul and consciousness.

Yes, since the Five Ghosts Transporting Technique creates ghosts, it can naturally cause damage to the soul at the spiritual level to a certain extent.

However, Wu Wang usually carries his elder sister's [Laughing River] sword. This weapon is far more effective at damaging souls than ghosts, so he has never used ghosts for this kind of attack.

Now, without any props.

This highlights the importance of one's own skills.

Even Ryan hadn't expected that the widow would still have room to resist under such suppression, and even display abilities he had never seen before.

This guy……

Is it really as the warden said?
It turns out that his origins are so mysterious and powerful.

"Charlotte, are these the personifications of your newly split personalities?" the warden said calmly. "They don't seem to have their own consciousness. It seems you are also growing and will not allow your other personalities to have the idea of ​​replacing the original. You have them under control."

At this point, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The vertical pupil of the Abyss God mark on his forehead gleamed with a faint, eerie red light.

But there was still no sign of it opening.

The warden then continued, "Or rather, you're not actually Charlotte..."

That's right, bro! Absolutely right!
You finally realized this problem!
Wu Wang, expressionless, controlled his clones and ghostly figures to pounce forward.

Before he could say anything, the warden continued, as if talking to himself, "You might just be one of Charlotte's split personalities."

"Since you don't think of yourself as a false personality, but rather believe that you are the main body of this body, you subconsciously want to regain control of this body. I see."

So that's how it is, you bastard!
Wu Wang was utterly speechless.

This guy is completely absorbed in his art and has lost all sense of the world around him.

He sees his ability to create clones as a manifestation of his personality, and his own existence as Charlotte's personality. In any case, the warden always has a logically consistent explanation.

What else is there to say?
Hit it!

But when faced with clones suddenly surrounding him, and even attempts to invade his brain to see if he could find the ghostly figure of this mechanical body's soul through the network cable.

The warden simply unbuttoned his plain robe and tossed it casually toward Wu Wang.

【The Ascetic's Robes (Masterpiece)】

The target equipped with this item will be unable to use any of their skills while the item is equipped.

Wu Wang's [Sight of Truth] instantly revealed just how extraordinary this seemingly ordinary robe was.

Its effect is simple and unpretentious.

Just as Wu Wang was about to use the [Seven Stars Step] to dodge, the red light in the warden's eyes intensified, and the pressure on Wu Wang's shoulders suddenly increased.

click-

Even though he didn't move an inch, the stone bricks under his feet were already cracked like a spider web, which was enough to show what kind of pressure Wu Wang's body was under at this moment.

If it weren't for the passive skill "Copper Skin and Iron Bones," this level of pressure alone would have been enough to crush all his bones, and he would probably be a pile of mud on the ground by now.

Damn it! One step! Just one step!

Wu Wang's forehead veins bulged, but he was still unable to lift his leg and take even a single step forward to activate the Shrinking Earth skill of the [Seven Star Steps of Heaven].

He could only watch helplessly as the long robe slowly fell onto him from above.

brush--

In an instant, the ghostly figure that had almost touched the warden roared and fell back into Wu Wang's shadow, while the clones melted away on the spot like snow.

"Now that things have come to this, have you made up your mind?"

"Will you assist me voluntarily, or will you make me use force? I have always preferred to subdue the enemy without fighting."

Upon hearing the warden's words, Wu Wang cursed inwardly.

Where is there no fighting? Aren't you already using force? You damn hypocrite!
He sneered, "Where did this female student from X University come from? Trying to turn me into a guaranteed graduate school admission pill, huh? If you push me too far, I'll just kill myself right here!"

The warden, who couldn't understand what Wu Wang was saying, stepped onto the mechanical body that exuded precision, with gears and various air pumps visible through its chest cavity, a stark contrast to the strong and mysterious aura of the temple.

He raised his hand and slowly placed it on the top of his head.

It seemed that what happened to the Ghost Lion was about to be reenacted on Wu Wang's head, and freshly squeezed watermelon juice was about to be spilled all over the temple's stone bricks again.

"Then I'm sorry..."

call--

Just as the warden was about to make his move, a whooshing sound came from the entrance of the temple and instantly arrived between him and Wu Wang.

when--

The next second, a butcher's knife covered in dark bloodstains pierced the stone bricks and stood firm.

Wu Wang and the warden looked at the butcher's knife with different expressions. This was the first time Wu Wang had read emotions from the warden's electronic eyes.

That was helplessness and a hint of anger.

The warden then slowly stepped back.

He didn't put his hand down on Wu Wangtian's head. It was only then that Ryan, who was not far away, suddenly realized that the warden's hand was broken!

The butcher's knife severed the mechanical arm that was patting Wu Wangtian's skull the moment it flew over.

"Old friend, you're too attached to appearances."

A rough, heavy breathing sound came from the doorway.

The tall, pig-headed figure emerged from the shadows, casually pulled out the giant butcher's knife from the ground, stood in front of Wu Wang, and threw the severed hand to the ground, crushing it.

The warden didn't say anything when he saw this.

He simply waved with his other hand.

Another piece of stone fell from the statue, turning into liquid metal that enveloped the warden's severed arm, transforming it into a completely new arm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The benefits of cybernetic prosthetics have become apparent.

This part can be disassembled and installed immediately.

"This is an intruder from another world, not Charlotte as you claim."

Oink's appearance relieved Wu Wang.

After all, he had said he could fight the warden to a standstill, so at least the threat level was balanced between the two sides.

But then he heard what Oink said.

The warden responded in an electronic voice: "You've become cowardly because of appearances, Butcher. From the moment he was able to disregard the rules, you should have realized his close connection with this prison. Otherwise, why wouldn't he be drained of his energy by the prison playground?"

"Furthermore, the divine aura emanating from him is also attracting my soul. How could one possess such a wonderful feeling without witnessing the existence of a god with one's own eyes?"

"So please step aside; this is the best way to help you leave this place."

Wu Wang: "..."

Every sentence matches perfectly.

However, my situation was completely different from the warden's analysis, which is why the misunderstanding couldn't be explained.

You can't exactly tell him that you weren't ignoring the rules, but rather that you were exploiting a bug by being "immortal," can you?
Wu Wang, who had disguised himself as someone else countless times using the "Fake Smile Mask," was mistaken for someone else for the first time without any disguise.

He couldn't even find a way to argue his case.

What the hell is going on?!
