My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 146 Black Chrysalis VS Silver Devourer, The Cherry Blossoms of My Hometown are in Bloom (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The moonlight was hazy, and Hongyue Commercial Street was brightly lit, yet deserted. Only a few cars were abandoned on the road, leaning precariously with their doors open.

Visible to the naked eye... this is the deterrent power of the supervillain "Ghost Bell".

To give an example, if it were a minor character like "Green Wing" causing trouble, people might still want to stay and watch the fight after seeing Blue Arc appear.

Because they were certain that Blue Arc would eliminate Green Wing and protect each and every one of them.

Compared to Green Wings, Ghost Bell's name is obviously terrifying. Even if Blue Arc arrives, no one will dare to stay at the scene of the incident for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

Not to mention that the person who came here is "Swallowing Silver," a guy whose public image has recently plummeted, turning from a public hero to a comedian.

On the long street, Tun Yin was standing on top of the traffic light, while the culprit that caused his public image to change dramatically was holding a book and hanging upside down under the advertising sign in front of him.

The two, one with eyes downcast and the other with eyes upcast, gazed at each other across the long street.

“Black Chrysalis,” Tun Yin paused, then said through gritted teeth, “I’ve been searching for you for so long…”

"Your words are a bit heavy, like something out of a TV drama about a lovesick woman. To be honest, I find them a bit cheesy... Mr. Ghost Bell also likes me a lot, but he expresses his love with his iron fist."

As Hei Yong spoke, he flipped through the book, thought for a moment, and then said, "I feel like it would be better to use a bit of the subtlety of Japanese literature, like, uh... the moonlight is really beautiful tonight?"

"I've been thinking these past few days about how I'll kill you a thousand times, ten thousand times, when I run into you again, you worm." Tun Yin rubbed his hands together, his tone sinister. "The weather tonight is indeed quite nice, perfect for sending you to your grave."

"That's not something an outsider should say. Be careful your public image doesn't plummet... well, there's not much room for it to fall any further."

At this point, Black Chrysalis raised the finger that was turning the pages of the book and scratched her chin.

“Before we fight, I need to hire a lawyer to determine whether you, as an outsider, have the right to kill me. Otherwise, it would fall under the category of vigilante justice. If word gets out, the soft and innocent image I’ve cultivated for you will collapse overnight.”

He paused for a moment: "What a waste of all my hard work. I've paved the way for your comedic career; all you need to do is kick it off."

"Shut up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a metal opening appeared on the back of his legs, back, and even the back of his arms.

Enraged flames spewed forth, and the five thrusters roared to life, as the Silver Devourer transformed into a giant silver bird that crashed into the Black Cocoon.

"Okay, that fits my stereotype of you perfectly."

Black Chrysalis shrugged, closing the book as she spoke, letting it slip into the sleeve of her trench coat. Then, four restraint straps extended from her fingertips, instantly activating the "Restraint Strap Blade".

With a "clang," the silver blade shot out and stuck to the edge of the restraints.

He remained in an upside-down position, as if wielding long swords, and suddenly slashed forward with the restraints.

With a loud bang, the Silver-Swallowing Fist, accompanied by a terrifying shockwave, slammed into the surface of the restraints and struck four layers of blades.

Sparks flew from the blade, and each restraint band undulated like a tide, the force being distributed smoothly throughout the body to ensure that the defenses were not breached.

The restraint belt's blades vibrated and emitted a buzzing sound, a sharp screech tearing through the night!

Black Chrysalis narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that he was no match for the opponent in a brute force battle. So he kicked forward with his Silver-Swallowing abdomen, and his body flew backward like a paper doll, then stuck tightly to the surface of the glass curtain wall.

The silver-powered flamethrower chased after him, but at that moment, a restraint band formed a curtain that blocked his vision and obscured the figure of the black pupa.

"Trying to be cunning again!" Tun Yin frowned.

Instead of rushing forward rashly, he quickly bit into a piece of red metal, raised his right palm, and a burst of flame shot forward, causing the restraints that formed the curtain to blaze with a hissing sound.

Just then, another restraint strap swiftly emerged from beneath the "black curtain," like a venomous snake that had been lying in wait, lunging at Swallowing Silver, its blade slashing upwards along the edge!
As the firelight flickered, a flash of cold light appeared on the restraint belt blade, slicing straight through the silver-plated metal breastplate and leaving a horrifying ravine on his chest.

With a "plop," blood splattered down like ink, staining the silver-clad armor and neck of the man.

At the same time, the curtain made of restraints was burned away, revealing the black cocoon behind it. He stretched out a restraint strap and swiftly used a blade to cut down the burning restraints.

They turned into embers and scattered downwards, unable to spread the fire to the surface of the black pupae.

“I mean… if my restraint belt blades were coated with neurotoxins, wouldn’t you be kneeling on the ground right now?” Black Chrysalis said. “Hmm… that’s a good area for development. I wonder if there are similar abilities on the skill tree.”

Tun Yin glanced down at the wound on his chest, his face twitched slightly, and then he charged forward in a fit of rage.

The black pupa distributes the weight across the restraints throughout its body.

Relying on the high mobility of the restraints, he leaped between glass curtain walls and neon signs, using the blades of the restraints to collide with the oncoming iron fists, trying his best to neutralize the powerful force.

In each clash, sparks flew from the restraint belt's blades, and cracks gradually appeared on the silver-plated metal gauntlets.

The restraints on most of the black pupae showed signs of heating up due to excessive force.

In the next instant, Swallowing Silver created distance, suddenly biting the silver chunk seeping from his palm. Then, the metal glove expanded several times its original size, and his five fingers clenched into a giant iron fist.

He spun around, using the momentum to his advantage, and the thrusters on the back of his hand spewed out a curtain of flames. Bursting with terrifying kinetic energy, his giant fist swung towards the black pupa like a hammer!
Black Chrysalis had anticipated this; he grabbed a restraint strap connecting to the aerial work platform on his right and swung around, dodging Iron Fist. The howling wind whipped up his swallowtail coat.

With a loud bang, the glass curtain wall was shattered by the giant, silver-swallowing fist.

Glass shards fell like a torrential rain, scattering across the supermarket canopy and the roofs of cars, creating a series of crisp echoes.

Suddenly, Tun Yin turned to look at Hei Pupa, clasped his hands together, and created a huge metal cage in mid-air to trap Hei Pupa. Then the cage rapidly contracted, as if trying to squeeze Hei Pupa's body directly into a pool of blood!
Black Chrysalis reacted with lightning speed. Before his body was crushed by the metal cage, he suddenly curled up in mid-air and released his mecha skill, "Restraint Belt Torrent".

【Binding Belt Frenzy: Centered on the user, numerous binding belts rotate at high speed, generating a torrent of energy around the user (this skill can be used even when the user is "controlled").)

In an instant, countless restraints rolled up inside the metal cage.

Centered on the curled-up body of the black pupa, the restraints spun at high speed, and the silver-white blades formed a storm that howled as they sliced ​​the silver-white cage apart.

It's like peeling the rind off a watermelon from the inside out and letting the watermelon burst out.

The next moment, the restraints stopped rotating, the storm of blades subsided, and the metal fragments turned into a torrential downpour.

The black pupa's body resembled a swirling, falling leaf, treading on swirling metal shards as it slowly descended to the ground.

Tun Yin stared in disbelief: "What? Why did his restraints suddenly become faster? With only a fraction of a second of reaction time, he made such a fast move that he shredded my metal cage?"

This is his biggest trump card to date. The reason he dared to challenge Ghost Bell with such confidence is because he believed that even Ghost Bell could not escape his cage and would be squeezed into blood foam in an instant by the shrinking cage!
But right before his eyes, the black pupa broke free of his cage in a way that was almost beyond human imagination!
In a mere 0.1 seconds, the restraint straps rotated at high speed, creating a storm of blades?
No, that's something no human could do... yet it all happened so naturally right before the Silver Devourer's eyes.

Only four words can describe this scene: "divine intervention," as if a player had exploited a special game mechanic or a bug.

Lost in thought, Black Pupa and Silver Swallow landed almost simultaneously.

Black Pupa gave Silver no chance to catch its breath, crossing its arms in front of it and suddenly extending two restraint straps from its palms. The black ends grabbed the walls on both sides of the street, pulling its body back, tightening the restraint straps, and then releasing them at the extreme limit.

With a loud "bang!", his body shot out like a taut spring.

Immediately afterwards, he released the Blue Arc's power in mid-air, his entire body covered in a layer of deep blue, dazzling lightning.

[The superpower stored in the restraints has been released—electric current surges from within your body, allowing you to precisely control each arc of electricity (Source of superpower: Superpower user "Blue Arc")]

Amidst the roar, electricity surged through the black pupa's entire body, stimulating its cellular activity, and its speed increased dramatically at that moment.

At the same time, the Silver Devourer, who was directly opposite, saw a black and blue lightning bolt rushing towards him.

"Blue, Arc?" Tun Yin was startled, as if he were hallucinating Blue Arc running towards him. The black pupa was like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, or like an inflated hedgehog, with electrified restraints expanding and rising from its back, like a black and blue curtain.

The curtain parted, transforming into more than ten restraints that spread out from all directions, entangling and binding the Silver Devourer.

Tun Yin raised his arms and crossed them in front of him. The restraints covered too much area, as if a giant whale was opening its mouth to swallow him. No matter what part he blocked, it was wrong. He had no choice but to protect his most vital part—his heart!
The next second, the ferocious face of the Silver Devourer was illuminated by black and blue electric light, and violent arcs of electricity spread to every joint.

He convulsed, roared, and knelt on the ground. Electricity traveled down his knees to the ground, like small black and blue snakes crawling in all directions.

The neon signs on the street flashed on and off, and the whole world went dark.

Several seconds later, the electric current covering the restraints slowly dissipated, and the cruel electrocution came to an end.

The neon lights came on again, and Tun Yin was finally able to catch his breath. At this moment, the black restraints had wrapped around every joint of his body, turning him into a trapped beast that could not struggle.

He gasped for breath, and after a moment of silence, his Adam's apple bobbed as he knelt down and asked hoarsely:
"Why...do you possess...Blue Arc's abilities?"

"A man's knees are worth gold; he must not kneel."

Black Chrysalis covered her eyes, shaking her head and waving her hands, her expression like someone receiving a red envelope from a relative during Chinese New Year, saying "No, no, no," but her actions were a mixture of reluctance and acceptance.

"Answer me!" Swallowing Silver's pale lips moved.

"Oh, Mr. Swallowing Silver, you're still so energetic after a fight. Why don't you do a set of calisthenics for primary and secondary school students? It'll help you live longer and stay healthy."

As Hei Yong spoke, he used restraint straps to bind Tun Yin's waist and then hoisted Tun Yin's limbs off the ground.

He crossed his arms and, while manipulating his paralyzed body, which was induced by swallowing silver, began to do radio calisthenics, humming the tune of "one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four".

It's like a physical education coach blowing a whistle to supervise the students doing exercises.

The atmosphere, which had been tense and bloody, suddenly relaxed, replaced by a youthful energy. Fortunately, no one was watching, otherwise, Swallowing Silver would have earned yet another derogatory nickname.

"Why do you have the Blue Arc's abilities?!" Swallowing Silver gritted his teeth and asked, "Why?!"

“Good question… Why?” Black Chrysalis scratched his chin. “Is it possible that… just now, I killed Blue Arc?”

Swallowing Silver's pupils contracted to their maximum size instantly. He stared at the black pupa for a long while before uttering a single word:
"Do not……"

However, it is not.

Two days ago, Black Chrysalis stole Blue Arc's superpower at the auction house—that's right, it was at the moment when Black Chrysalis used Robert and Qi Yuanyuan to make a deal and exchange hostages with the other party.

At the time, he used restraints to bind the unconscious Blue Arc, thinking that such a good opportunity was too good to pass up, so he took advantage of it and stole Blue Arc's superpower.

Due to the influence of the "Li" branch's skill [Capacity Increase], the Black Chrysalis's restraints are allowed to store two different supernatural abilities, and the maximum storage time is increased to 48 hours, or two days.

The reason Ji Minghuan was in such a hurry to come out and find trouble was clearly because the supernatural power stored in the restraint belt was about to reach its maximum storage time limit:
— 47 hours and 50 minutes have passed since the superpower was stolen.

With less than 10 minutes to go, this precious superpower would disappear. So he quickly piloted his first unit out of the house to find an opponent to have some fun with.

This is the eldest brother's superpower!

This time it was a complete fluke, they only managed to steal it by sheer luck. Next time it won't be so easy to steal it. Binding Blue Arc with restraints will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Ji Minghuan felt like someone playing an online game who had gotten a rare, one-time legendary item that was about to expire. If he didn't use it in the right situation and let it disappear, it was hard not to feel like he'd lost a fortune.

On the other hand, Ji Minghuan did this to save Tunyin's life—who knows if Old Man Guizhong would roast and eat Tunyin if he was pushed too far.

Of course, besides that, the most important reason was that he wanted to test the strength of the first unit.

If it can't even defeat the Silver Devourer, then it means that the No. 1 unit still needs to hone its strength.

However, judging from the current situation, the strength of the first unit is undoubtedly close to the peak of the Dragon-level. After all, it had already defeated the evolved Silver Devourer even before using the "Restraint Belt Avatar".

“A near-catastrophic event is just around the corner…” Ji Minghuan thought. “When that time comes, the Black Chrysalis will be able to take center stage.”

Thinking of this, Black Chrysalis said, "According to a friend of mine, Mr. Silver Swallower, you should have been at the top level of the Kui level before... but you seem to have suddenly become much stronger these past few days, even reaching the mid-stage of the Dragon level."

He paused for a moment: "Unfortunately, your progress is still too slow compared to mine. Keep improving yourself amidst shame and resentment, and maybe one day you'll actually have a chance to get rid of me."

"Shut up!" Tun Yin shouted, both embarrassed and furious, while rhythmically doing calisthenics. "I'm going to kill you!"

"Actually, I'm just here to borrow your abilities, that's all."

After saying that, Black Chrysalis suddenly tightened the restraints, binding Swallow Silver's entire body, and then released "Power Stealing," storing Swallow Silver's power in the restraints.

[The "Power Theft" has been activated; the "Silver Swallowing" ability has been stored in the restraints for 48 hours.]

As the system notification sound faded, the black pupa squinted and suddenly noticed that "lip teeth" had grown above one of the restraint straps.

Yes... eerie lips and teeth. This mouth is craving to eat metal, saliva dripping from it, wetting the restraints.

But as the black pupa stirred its mind, its lips and teeth slowly closed, turning back into a deep, dark black.

“I see…” he thought. “Does it mean I have to use the restraints to devour metal to meet the conditions for releasing my power? It seems I don’t have to gnaw on iron with my own mouth like a silver rat. That sounds pretty friendly. Sure enough, my power will be fine-tuned according to my preferences.”

Having stolen the superpowers, Black Chrysalis continued to manipulate the restraints, making Silver Swallow do elementary and middle school students' calisthenics on the long street.

"Why do you have the Blue Arc's power?!" Swallowing Silver shouted. "Did you really kill him?"

"Alright, alright, I know you two are really close, but can you stop yelling so loudly?" Black Chrysalis shrugged. "Blue Arc is sleeping soundly at home. I have his abilities because I helped him out at the underground auction, that's all."

"You'd better not lie to me."

“Mr. Silver Swallow, I don’t actually intend to be your enemy. I think you’re at least a somewhat promising esper, although ‘somewhat’ is a bit too ‘some,’ but you still have potential.” Black Chrysalis paused. “One day you’ll need me, so how about we exchange contact information?”

"Get out..." Tun Yin lowered his face and exhaled like a mad buffalo.

"The moon is beautiful tonight," Black Chrysalis said as she read.

"You beast! Get out of here!" Tun Yin shouted angrily while doing gymnastics.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

"Get lost, you bastard! Beautiful my ass!" Tun Yin shouted, on the verge of tears. He thought to himself, "Are you fucking going to leave or not? If you don't get out of here, some passerby will see me doing calisthenics in front of you! Do you even want me to be human?!"
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving, I'm leaving."

Black Chrysalis shrugged, loosened the restraints binding Swallowing Silver, then stretched out the restraints to grab a street lamp, and flew upwards, its figure disappearing into the shattered neon lights.

Swallowing Silver felt a wave of relief wash over him, his limbs dangling to the ground. He slowly raised his head, his face gloomy as he watched the black cocoon depart.

On her way home, Black Chrysalis sent a message to Ghost Bell on her phone.

[Black Chrysalis: By the way, Mr. Ghost Bell, didn't you want to know information about the members of "Rainbow Wing"?]

[Black Chrysalis: Perfect, I have some right here.]
