My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 189 Liberation, Second Form, Pillar to Heaven (Thanks to "Listen to the Wind's Whisper" for the generous donation)

[Game Notification: Administrator "Mario" has granted you two special permissions: "Attack Effects" and "Damage Calculation".]

Twenty seconds ago, as Sun Changkong was flying towards Ke Qirui on her somersault cloud, a notification box suddenly appeared in front of her. Startled, she froze, speechless, and almost fell off the somersault cloud.

"What's this?" She opened her mouth, revealing her little tiger teeth in surprise.

As a complete novice when it comes to games, Sun Changkong naturally didn't understand the meaning of the hints. Only Mario, as the "administrator," knew that he wanted to use this opportunity to figure out the strength of the "Mythical Wonder."

Sun Changkong was a little annoyed, so he casually brandished his golden cudgel and poked at the prompt panel.

Just then, she noticed that the long stick was actually creating a series of pixelated cartoon stick flowers, which was clearly a special effect from the animated version of "Havoc in Heaven".

Her eyes lit up, and she swung the golden cudgel a few more times, with cartoon effects following her every move.

“It’s fun!”

"Aren't you going to attack?" Ke Qirui stared at her from a distance for a long time before finally choosing to launch the first attack to test the waters.

A retro-style one-way mirror flashed, and a movie screen formed behind Sun Changkong. Suddenly, the roar of a train engine followed, and a huge dark red carriage emerged from the screen, crashing into Sun Changkong's back.

Hearing the noise from behind, Sun Changkong raised an eyebrow. He twisted his body to gain momentum, gripped the golden cudgel with both hands, and swung it at the car body in a golf-playing posture.

The clubhead struck the front of the carriage, instantly deforming the entire carriage like a twisted snake, and then flying dozens of meters to the side like a golf ball hit by a club.

With a loud crash, the twisted and gnarled carriage landed on the grass, its windows scattering like rain across the ground.

At the same time, a prompt box popped up in front of Sun Changkong.

Damage: 999!

[System Evaluation: Perfect Hit!!!]

"What does it mean?"

Staring at the text in the box, Sun Changkong tilted her head in confusion. It was a mix of English and numbers; how could a country bumpkin like her understand it?
Ke Qirui was stunned for a while, then lowered the brim of his hat and gently curled the corners of his lips: "With a casual stick, you sent the train demon's carriage flying that far? It seems Mr. Black Chrysalis was not joking. He is indeed a monster among monsters."

"Forget it! That Cat Mario guy, how could he play such a trick on me?"

Sun Changkong shook his head, no longer looking at the prompt panel in front of him, but instead looking at Ke Qirui, who was several hundred meters away. His somersault cloud surged beneath his feet, carrying him forward at breakneck speed.

In the blink of an eye, the girl, seemingly floating on clouds, covered a hundred meters, her white hospital gown fluttering in the wind, her crimson eyes gleaming. Fortunately, Ke Qirui had anticipated this; with a flash of the one-way mirror, two movie screens appeared behind her.

The first curtain swallowed Ke Qirui and the traffic light beneath her feet; the other curtain revealed a train demon emerging from its carriage, roaring as it crashed into Sun Changkong.

Sun Changkong's pupils reflected the massive object rushing towards him. He spun his golden cudgel rapidly with both hands, drawing a circle and creating a series of pixelated stick flowers. A gust of wind roared out from the spinning golden cudgel, blowing the oncoming carriage more than ten meters away.

Damage: 369!

She stopped her flourishing movements with the stick, her fiery red eyes searching for enemies across the vast grassland, finally spotting Ke Qirui emerging from behind the curtain.

Are you playing hide-and-seek with me?

Sun Changkong curled the corners of his mouth, then once again sped away on his somersault cloud, raising his hand high and smashing his staff towards Ke Qirui.

On the other hand, Lin Zhengquan has now advanced to a third-tier exorcist, and his strength is naturally not what it used to be.

He unleashed the Sky Drive, his entire body covered in thick cybernetic prosthetics, and deep blue energy ignited every metallic pattern.
Xu Sanyan summoned the Sky Chaser, holding the dark red umbrella in his hand. A wave of smoke immediately surged from the tip of the umbrella, enveloping the two figures in it.

In an instant, the giant wolf, which had been rushing towards it like a black and white lightning bolt, lost its way. Its heterochromatic eyes, one white and one black, looked around in the mist. Suddenly, a bullet pierced through the mist and shot straight toward it.

Driven by its wild instincts, it displayed lightning-fast reflexes, raising its claws to deflect the bullet.

The bullet exploded with a deafening roar, turning into a curtain of flame. The smoke that filled the surroundings seemed to have turned into fuel. Towering flames rose, forming a sea of ​​fire that engulfed Filio, the flames corroding every inch of its fur.

It roared angrily in the flames, but showed no sign of pain.

Just then, a giant covered in cybernetic prosthetics, radiating a deep blue technological glow, charged toward Firio. Simultaneously, the metallic patterns on his right fist charged, and a burst of intense flames erupted from the opening at the back of his arm, propelling his fist forward.

Filio was sent flying several meters, his claws carving four black furrows in the ground, causing weeds and soil to tumble up.

Lin Zhengquan looked up confidently, but he couldn't find a single scratch on Philio, not even a single hair.

He frowned. "Is it that hard?"

“I don’t want to kill you… so please surrender.” The giant wolf slowly raised its head, its heterochromatic eyes looking at them, and a hoarse sound came from its throat.

At this very moment, Mario, perched on a distant cliff, stared at the screen of his handheld console and murmured to himself:
"The demon... is indeed much more powerful than ordinary demons. My mentor was right."

While he had the Quetzalcoatlus and Tyrannosaurus Rex chase after Su Zimai and Xia Pingzhou, he glanced at the situation on the other side of the grassland.

Ke Qirui pulled her hat brim down low.

Through the previous rounds of combat, she had roughly calculated the speed of the Somersault Cloud. So whenever Sun Changkong rode the Somersault Cloud and shot towards her like a whirlwind, she would have the Movie Demon create a screen to swallow her up.

Then he appeared at a relatively far distance, maintaining an absolutely safe distance from Sun Changkong.

This safe distance must ensure two things: first, that she can react to the speed of the somersault cloud; and second, that she has enough time to use the movie screen to leave.

Ke Qirui knew very well that Sun Changkong could make countless mistakes, but if she made even the slightest mistake, she would immediately become a victim of this child's stick.

After several rounds of maneuvering, Sun Changkong finally showed signs of impatience.

"Is all you can do to run?" She frowned her fiery red eyebrows.

Sun Changkong had learned her lesson. She ignored the train carriages Ke Qirui summoned with the curtain, realizing they were just illusions. So she sped up her somersault cloud, bypassing the carriages one by one, and shot straight toward Ke Qirui.

The somersault cloud was so fast that the gale it generated almost flattened all the weeds along the way, carving out a clean path. However, at that very moment, Ke Qirui, having anticipated this, was swallowed up by the movie screen.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Changkong looked up and found that he was surrounded by movie screens.

Thousands of curtains formed a circle in mid-air, with Sun Changkong at the center.

"What?" Sun Changkong was taken aback. "You can play it like that?"

The next instant, the train demon's torso emerged from every curtain, and dozens of fragmented carriages converged on Sun Changkong from all sides, forming a seamless attack. It was likely that no one could escape this relentless assault!

Ke Qirui appeared in the distance, silently watching this scene.

Without a doubt, this was the strongest weapon she could muster at this stage. She thought to herself, "This time, surely I won't let her escape unscathed?"

Sun Changkong hovered above the somersault cloud, staring blankly around. The shadows of the train carriage swallowed her small figure. The next second, she lowered her face and closed her eyes as if resigning herself to fate. Suddenly, a bright crimson light enveloped her entire body, and then the golden cudgel in her hand expanded dozens of times in an instant, becoming a giant pillar that pierced through a train carriage, letting the light in.

"She can even make the golden cudgel bigger?" Ke Qirui frowned.

In the blink of an eye, the colossal pillar spun around, carrying with it a howling atmosphere, turning dozens of carriages that were crashing in from all directions into a pile of dust.

Under this extremely destructive force, even the embers would likely be completely destroyed. A crater was created in the ground within a hundred meters radius. The earth sank inwards violently. Weeds fluttered into the sky like butterflies.

When she came to her senses, Ke Qirui saw an unbelievable figure.

Meanwhile, Su Zimai and Xia Pingzhou escaped from the primeval forest. The two stopped on a branch of a giant tree, watching the terrifying shadow on the somersault cloud in the distance.

“What is that…?” Su Zimai’s face turned pale instantly.

Xia Pingzhou's expression also turned somewhat grim, and he thought to himself, "Oh no... Sun Changkong really broke the high-level seal?"

At this moment, what came into their view was not a girl with dark red hair, but something completely different.

With yellow hair and a golden headband, a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, and a dark gold armor that was burning red, two crimson feathers stood out on his head.

Scorching steam billowed upwards from the gaps in the armor, as if a demon god had descended upon the world.

The wind was howling, the earth was trembling, and the whole world was screaming.

At that moment, Sun Wukong opened his fiery golden eyes, and a beam of golden light shot out from his pupils, even overshadowing the midday sun. A terrifying pressure swept over like a tidal wave, seemingly tangible. Thousands of green grasses swayed in the wind on the grassland, and grass clippings and pebbles danced and swirled into the sky.

Ke Qirui's face gradually paled. Knowing she couldn't just sit and wait to die, she summoned a curtain, from which the train demon's carriage flew wildly out.

Sun Wukong casually swung his staff, and the surging power stirred up the atmosphere and shot straight into the sky, even blowing away the clouds on the sky.

This time, the carriage wasn't even blasted away; it vanished in less than half a second before the expanding golden cudgel could blast it away. The auspicious seven-colored clouds beneath their feet began to stir, shooting forward like light, traversing a distance of a thousand meters.

Sun Wukong, with his back to the sunlight, slowly raised his head, his fiery eyes gleaming with a violent golden light in the shadows.

He raised his hand high, lifting the golden cudgel that resembled a giant pillar supporting the sky.

In fact, Mario's "administrator maintenance time" had already ended three seconds earlier. But Ke Qirui was so shocked by the scene before her that she didn't react for a moment.

In that brief yet seemingly endless second, Ke Qirui faced the ghostly figure before her and the colossal pillar soaring into the sky. In a daze, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Should I call it luck..." she thought. If Sun Wukong hadn't made the golden cudgel so much bigger, causing the speed of swinging the cudgel to slow down, she would probably have died under the cudgel in that second, without even having a chance to react.

"Fortunately, the one who controls this power is a little girl with little combat experience..."

With that in mind, Ke Qirui manipulated the movie demon, creating movie screens across the grassland.

Before the colossal pillar could fall from above, the movie screen swallowed up the traffic lights on the grass, Lin Zhengquan and Xu Sanyan who were locked in a standoff with the giant wolf in the distance, and Xia Pingzhou and Su Zimai who were watching from afar.

In the dead silence, the curtain disappeared, and their figures vanished without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Wukong's staff finally came crashing down.

【Damage (damage calculation): ? ? ?】

The damage calculation panel pops up.

All sounds are silent.

The colossal pillar crashed into the earth. The mere gust of wind blasted a deep crater across the entire grassland, resembling a meteorite impact. In an instant, the weeds within a radius of several hundred meters were torn apart by the aftershocks, turning the grassland into barren wasteland.

The earth trembled violently under the immense impact before the pillar finally made contact with the ground. At that moment, all the light in the world seemed to go out, making one feel as if they were in the primordial darkness at the beginning of the world.

It took a good ten seconds for the commotion to subside.

On the distant cliff, Mario watched this scene in shock, cold sweat slowly trickling down his forehead.

He bit his thumb and took a deep breath: "That's outrageous. A question mark-level attack? I thought I could measure its value with the system... Looks like I overestimated myself."

On the auspicious seven-colored clouds, Sun Wukong closed his eyes, his figure gradually becoming blurry, even his dark gold armor slowly faded away, and the feathers on his head drooped down. The giant pillar deeply embedded in the ground also visibly shrank, finally turning into a needle that flew into his ear.

Before long, it transformed back into a dark red-haired girl wearing a hospital gown.

Philio, now a giant wolf, sat motionless on the grassland, staring at the long, cylindrical chasm carved out by his golden cudgel. The chasm was bottomless, almost enough to cleave the entire grassland, with large chunks of land continuously plunging into it.

Startled, it transformed back into human form, staring in disbelief. Its bare bottom shrank back, trying to avoid falling into the pit with the shifting sand.

Mario, perched atop the head of Quetzalcoatl, flew in from afar and spoke:

“Sun Changkong, you made a mistake… If only you hadn’t made that stick bigger, it would have been fine. It was too big, so it hit the ground slower and that woman got away.”

"I know without you telling me!" Sun Changkong shouted angrily at him, "It's all your fault for distracting me with all that nonsense."

Mario remained silent.

He had always thought he was the most capable child in the Salvation Society besides Ji Minghuan. But seeing today, he realized that the position belonged to someone else. For a moment, Mario's spirits were dampened, and he didn't even want to play the game anymore.

“It’s alright…we can still catch up with them if we leave here now,” he said softly.

Filio, who was in the distance, finally came to his senses.

He pricked up his wolf ears, sniffed the air, quickly retrieved his hospital gown from the grassland, put it on his naked body, and then ran towards the two of them while shouting, "Big Sister, Mario, we have to go protect Ji Minghuan and Kong Youling!"

Sun Changkong was taken aback, only then realizing that Ji Minghuan and Xiao Ling were still waiting for them at the bar!

"Let us go back, Mario!" She looked up sharply at Mario on the pterosaur's back and shouted anxiously, revealing her trembling little fangs.

"Okay, don't rush me..." Mario said listlessly, clicking the "Exit Game" option on the handheld console.

"What if those bad guys send people to attack Little Ling?" Sun Changkong said.

"The mentor will send people to protect them, don't worry," Mario said speechlessly.

Game Over.

As a notification box appeared, the figures of the three children disappeared from the game scene.

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
