This villain is too popular.

Chapter 51 If your body reaches its limit, let your willpower carry you out of the encirclement.

"Sorry, jailer, I misunderstood you before!"

'Chen Kong: I may not be a genius, but I'm certainly not a coward!'

'Prisoner, you're a real man!'

A reversal, a major reversal.

When the audience saw this boy who had once been labeled a 'coward'.

When his first reaction in this life-or-death situation was to protect a group of complete strangers, Chen Kong's image as a cowardly, introverted, and self-conscious person in their eyes instantly crumbled.

Instead, there is a brave man who is equally insecure and introverted, but dares to face death.

At that moment, the viewers of the anime suddenly realized something.

That is, what they hate is never genuine kindness, but those hypocrites who spout benevolence and morality but only know how to use moral blackmail.

You can choose to remain silent and hide in a corner, but please don't laugh at or even slander those who are braver than you.

Because the light they fought for with their lives will also shine on you.

boom!
The jet-black Sky Pattern bullet pierced through the flames and smoke, and, to the anticipation of countless viewers from different dimensions, precisely struck Lava Mountain between the eyebrows.

But then something unexpected happened.

Although the bullet with the Void Pattern hit 'Molten Mountain', it passed directly through his forehead and struck the empty cash register behind him.

It turns out that the molten mountain that appeared behind the dust was not a real person at all, but an illusion that was so realistic that it could be mistaken for a real person!

"What a pity, you almost killed me."

Chen Kong suddenly turned his head, just about to raise his gun and fire in the direction of the sound.

But a powerful punch struck his abdomen before he could react.

boom!
His body flew out like a rag doll, crashing into a shelf before falling heavily to the ground.

Where he had originally stood, the true figure of Lava Mountain suddenly appeared.

At this moment, Lava Mountain was still in the action of throwing a punch, with two 'volcanic tumors' protruding from his right elbow like jet generators, slowly emitting smoke.

"Although he is just a kid, the Star Envoy's biggest taboo is to act rashly without knowing the type of Star Source of the enemy."

"Kid, I've completely seen through you."

"If I'm not mistaken, your Star Source should be some kind of Specialty Star Source that can nullify Star Source abilities, right? That's quite an exaggerated Star Source."

"But it's okay, I'm not the kind of useless person who has no fighting power without Star Source."

"Besides, the weakness of your Star Source is too obvious."

"cough!"

Chen Kong huddled in the ruins, his broken ribs possibly piercing his internal organs, and warm liquid was seeping from the corner of his mouth.

How many ribs are broken? One? Two?

Or more?

Chen Kong didn't know the specifics of his physical condition; he only knew that the scorching air around him was like a knife, and every breath was accompanied by intense pain.

He was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

His body seemed to have reached its limit.

Without a doubt, Chen Kong was now in a desperate situation.

Even at his peak, he was no match for Lava Mountain.

Not to mention his current serious injuries.

Actually, if he had chosen to ignore the people in the supermarket from the beginning...

That's due to the low presence brought about by the Void Pattern.

Dust Sky was fully capable of shaking off Lava Mountain and successfully escaping to heaven.

However, if he actually did that, the enraged Lava Mountain would likely kill everyone in the supermarket to vent his anger.

Therefore, Chen Kong decisively chose to stay.

He needed to buy precious time for the others to escape.

Is it really necessary for him to risk his life for a group of complete strangers?

He didn't even know the names of those people.

Even if he has done so much for these people, they may not even thank him after the matter is over.

So, is everything he's doing right now really worth it?
In a daze, Chen Kong felt his head growing heavier and heavier, his vision blurring, and memories flashing by like a revolving lantern. 'Brother Tiandao, why does everyone reject me so much? Am I really that disliked?'

'Hmm, that's a good question. Have you ever considered that perhaps people don't dislike you, but rather fear you and are afraid of you?'

'Huh? You're afraid of me? Why?'

Because while people are filled with curiosity about the unknown, they are also filled with fear of it.

"You must understand, ferocious beasts only bare their claws and fangs when facing other threatening predators. But if they're facing a harmless little rabbit, they'll not only leisurely nap, but they won't even entertain the thought of standing up to scare it."

Therefore, the more ordinary and unremarkable you appear, the more fearful and terrified they will be.

Because they have no idea whether you're deliberately pretending to be weak, or if you really are that weak.

"But if you ask me, none of that really matters, because you're living for yourself, not for anyone else."

Therefore, what others think is completely unimportant; what matters most is what you think yourself.

As the flashback ended, Chen Kong's initially confused gaze gradually cleared and became resolute.

Yes, what others think is completely unimportant; what matters most is what I think.

Because I live for myself, not for others.

Since I think I should do it this way, I'll just do it directly.

Whether doing so will be rewarding or whether it is right or wrong is not important.

Because I believe it to be right, then it must be right!

Thinking of this, Chen Kong decisively chose to suppress the Void Runes within his body.

He then used all of his remaining star energy to activate his Star Source Dreamer.

A visionary with the ability of 'synchronization' can replicate up to three star sources.

The replica star source that Chen Kong chose to use at this time was Mirror Glaze - Daydream, which came from the No.3 of the Star Children.

'Huh? You mean you want to copy my Star Source?'

'No, is that not allowed?'

"No problem! My Star Source isn't anything special anyway, so feel free to use it if you want."

"There's one thing I must remind you of: the effect of my daydreams isn't fixed. Its effectiveness depends entirely on your mood and thoughts at the time; after all, you can only dream about something you think about during the day."

"The reason everyone thinks my daydream only creates sweet candy to restore everyone's condition is because my idea is to make everyone in the base happy every day, so I put all my happiness into the candy."

"But everyone's thoughts are different, and everyone's feelings are different. I feel very happy at the base, and I really want to maintain this happy life. So the effect of the Dream Candy I created is to make everyone happy every day and keep them healthy."

'But this is my daydream, not yours.'

'Therefore, if you don't clearly know what you want, you can't be sure what effect the dream candy you create will have. I hope you remember this.'

'Yes, I understand.'

The reason why Chen Kong chose to use the Daydream from Jing Liuli at this moment.

It's because he is very clear about his feelings at this moment, and he understands his thoughts at this moment.

His daydream was simply to live!
This will to survive is stronger and more resolute than ever before.

"Um?!"

To Lava Mountain's astonishment, Dust Void, who should have already reached his limit, was now in a state of shock.

But at this moment, it erupted with a star energy fluctuation that was far stronger than before.

His physical condition has also improved significantly.

It was as if he had never been injured at all.

All these changes stemmed from a strange, entirely blue candy he had just eaten.
So, the real effect of this guy's Star Source isn't to nullify Star Energy?

Or is it that he actually has two star sources?

Faced with this problem, Lava Mountain had no time to think.

Because Chen Kong, who was not far away, had already stood up again, raised the specially made black gun in his hand, and pointed the muzzle at him once more.

The faint blue light emanating from the black gun body seemed to be the best proof of Chen Kong's unwavering will to survive at this moment!
He wants to live, and he will definitely live; his tomorrow will surely come as scheduled!
【Dream Candy - Blue (Fake): Temporarily blocks all pain sensations, briefly restores and increases one's star energy and constitution, lasting for three minutes.

[Side effect: After the effect ends, the user will enter a state of weakness for one day, with all attributes decreasing by 50%]

[Creator: Chen Kong: Blue represents the sky, freedom, and the future. This candy, which carries the future, will surely allow the user to witness that bright tomorrow.]

So, if your body has reached its limit, let your willpower carry you out of the predicament!
