Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 100 - You opened it first, I just forgot to close it
Si Ming pushed her back down.

He could clearly feel that before he made the 'press' action, the door that had opened a crack had already closed.

It is obvious that everything happening in this world is currently under Yu Zhiwei's control. The door behind her is merely a manifested concept, a symbol, a projection—a signal that she is suppressing the hidden dangers within her. Nothing more.

well.

Si Ming nodded slightly, his expression unchanged.

"what's the situation?"

"You don't seem surprised at all, Professor." Yu Zhiwei raised her head slightly, looking somewhat sullen. "Can't you care a little more about your dear teammates? They've seen my memories, and instead of asking if I'm in pain or tired, can't you at least offer some comfort to this hardworking young lady?"

"Did you do anything special?" Si Ming frowned slightly, recalling Yu Zhiwei's strategy for breaking the deadlock in World Two. He had to admit that it was indeed the most profitable strategy. But if it were him, he would probably have done even better, since he certainly wouldn't have wasted time rescuing those Indians.

Ah... so Yu Zhiwei used to be this helpful?

He tilted his head, surprisingly not at all surprised.

"you--!"

Yu Zhiwei stood up abruptly. Sure enough, the door behind her remained unchanged.

"I have sealed away something evil enough to destroy the world deep within my heart, and I am constantly enduring its corrosive influence! You know that Dot-Line Demon Eye, right? I use it on myself every time I open my eyes, severing my corrupted and twisted flesh and soul. And now, they have piled up to the size of a mountain in my personal space, in my shadow!"

So that's how it was. The Black Mountain of Corpses she used to attack Reinhardt and Julian was created this way. It seems pretty effortless. Hmm… but during her hundred-day trip to the Cursed World, she didn't seem to suddenly become weak or tired?

Thoughts turned.

Si Ming indicated that he understood, then raised his hand and clapped it.

"Wow! That's amazing, that must have been really hard work." He mastered the art of voice acting without any instruction.

Then——

"Crack—" Yu Zhiwei clenched her small fist and crushed her finger bones.

Then, restore.

Her spirit and body both returned to a state of completeness at this moment.

"...Never mind, I have nothing to say to you. Once I get out, I absolutely have to find Wa...find a wandering knight to really de-stress. Anyway, that's roughly the situation. The psychic from the West Sea team forcibly stuffed a ball of pure psychic energy into me. I can't get rid of it right away, so my internal balance has been disrupted..."

...However, the most troublesome things have been well suppressed; what's overflowing are just scraps from World One and World Two... Okay, I admit there were quite a few troublesome things among those that overflowed. But it seems like it's been handled reasonably well?"

It's not bad that they didn't completely shift the blame.

Si Ming frowned slightly—he recalled something, the first generation of the Zhao family's small island and the final battle of the bio-world—high-level mental power users and incomplete spiritual light could even have the effect of gene lock advancement in the fourth-tier realm. And now…

Julian is perhaps the strongest mental power user among the reincarnators at this point in time. And coincidentally, he also possesses the outstanding potential to develop the Light of the Mind before unlocking the fourth-tier gene lock.

At this moment, his all-out, unreserved mental energy fluctuations had transformed into final ripples, entering Yu Zhiwei's mental world.

His brows relaxed.

Si Ming suddenly realized that the fighting spirit that Vincenzo had slightly stirred within him was still burning fiercely deep within his mind.

The timing is perfect.

The memory battles that had previously copied Yu Zhiwei's will became the fuel to sustain the flames.

Her gaze suddenly turned scorching. The clueless creature in front of her jumped back as if she had been pricked by a needle—the door behind her suddenly transformed into a wide corridor, and in an instant, the distance between her and Si Ming had reached more than a hundred meters!
"Your gaze is so strange... Professor." She looked disgusted. "You just... you weren't thinking about some nonsense like office romances because you saw a bit of my memory, were you?"

Si Ming remained steadfast.

He knew that Yu Zhiwei's seemingly insane appearance was just an illusion.

The corridor had closed portholes on both sides, which were tightly sealed, but Si Ming could still clearly hear the clanging of metal, the clashing of weapons, and the spirited shouts of warriors fighting behind it.

“You seem capable of unleashing your full power here.” Si Ming’s dark battle aura flared up once more, like flames, until he ignited the Fire-Transmitting Greatsword in its greatsword form with tribulation fire. “And the form here also seems to be influenced by your own will.”

"...Uh, don't get angry if I reject you...Alright, you can't take a joke." The Vast Void Scepter quietly appeared beside Yu Zhiwei. All six floating mechs lit up, flashing with dazzling light. "However...well, more or less. This is my inner self, and also my spoils after returning to the surface world of the black hole multiple times. As long as I'm here, those sealed troublesome things won't leak out...so I can give it my all within a controllable range."

Si Ming nodded.

"Interested in trying to unlock the third-order gene lock here?"

Tiny stardust shimmered and fell from Yu Zhiwei's eyes.

"Is there such a theory?"

“It’s just a feeling.” Si Ming raised his sword slightly. “I think my genetic lock activation talent is actually quite good, but if I don’t want to spend three to five years waiting for it to overflow, I need a sufficiently intense battle as a stimulus. And coincidentally, I think you seem to be in the same state.”

"That werewolf will cry. The West Sea team and that evil dragon fought so hard, and they couldn't even get you to fight seriously?" Yu Zhiwei sighed softly, pretending to wipe away tears. "And... being at a critical point... why don't I feel that way? And will I really lose control if I activate Tier 3?" "You think you'll lose control?"

"Hmm... I don't have a feeling that things will get out of control."

He asked, she answered.

There was only one thing he was absolutely certain of. Because if the things within Yu Zhiwei's body truly hindered the further unlocking of the gene lock, then they wouldn't be forcibly preserved by the gene lock-based main god as an external enhancement of Yu Zhiwei, but would be directly treated as defects and smoothly repaired.

This is the bargaining chip of the visionary.

The two looked at each other and said nothing more.

The air grew thicker and thicker without anyone noticing, and the already seemingly endless corridor appeared to have stretched even further. A chill seeped in from the portholes on either side, and then…

A drop of water, seemingly formed out of nowhere, falls.

'clatter--'

Yu Zhiwei's form vanished abruptly, her initial advantage allowing her to adjust the battlefield's spatial structure. Her form suddenly reappeared dozens of meters behind Si Ming. The instant she raised her scepter, a mental barrage of artillery fire and laser beams was unleashed!
'Boom—' The flames of destruction erupted.

The sudden burst of flames dispelled the shadowy structure that was about to form beneath Siming's feet. However, the boiling flames were extinguished in an instant, for the demonic eye of the dotted line had anchored the death of the Calamity Fire!

The fire died down, but the sword remained. Siming's body shifted rapidly in mid-air, the afterimage left by his high-speed movement instantly compressed by an invisible force. Left, forward, he swung the greatsword. But at the very moment of the strike, his secondary hand released power to the side once more!
Evil explosion.

The corresponding energy circuit is applied directly to the air using the battle aura of darkness.

If the speed and force are sufficient, it will unleash a sudden burst of fiery light. The enclosed corridor will be shattered by the flames. The powerful negative pressure will then generate extreme cold and howling winds from the vacuum!
Unable to resist, his body unleashed its power with the howling wind. The sword he slashed collided with an invisible psychic blade, while shadowy claws leaped from the curtain torn apart by the evil explosion. Their gazes met for a fleeting moment in mid-air. And the next instant, a sudden surge of impulse tore at Si Ming's body from the inside out.

The ringing of a landline phone echoed in the air.

The moment he heard the first sound, a thought suddenly burst forth in Si Ming's mind, urging him to touch it as quickly as possible.

Go touch that landline, go answer that call!
Every muscle in her body trembled, causing her movements to become slightly distorted. This power, never before used by Yu Zhiwei in the real world, was undoubtedly a legacy from the world of ghost calls. And from the surging shadows, sharp claws once again stretched out, grabbing down towards Si Ming!

The outcome is decided; there is no escape.

The moment the shadow claws extended, all six floating mechs glowed. And those six locked-on dead points were enough to instantly nullify the armor on Siming's body!
However, Yu Zhiwei was not the only one who held trump cards that she never needed to use.

--"liberation!"

Lightning flashed.

The Night Demon Armor's active skill, not based on negative emotions, was thus unleashed. It was an electromagnetic ability he hadn't practiced in the Main God Square. And now, it was proving its effectiveness.

"Kala——"

The flickering lightning was a fraction of a second faster than the activation of the floating mechs. And in that instant, the entire vast corridor was enveloped in terrifying electromagnetic sparks!

Active skill: Thunder Prison.

Active skill transformation, Thunderous Prison!
The hovercraft anchored to its target tilted in the electric field, and the ubiquitous sparks were instantly replaced by blazing inferno. Black and white filled the entire area at that moment, the machine carrying the 'ghost call' suddenly short-circuited and melted, and all the shadows had nowhere to hide!
Yu Zhiwei was exposed to Si Ming's gaze.

No superfluous movements, no superfluous words. The genetic lock was pushed to its limit. The body, expanded to its limit, propelled a series of sonic booms as it slashed down with the sword. The sound of the wind being torn apart was stretched to its extreme in this rapid exchange of blows. And the next moment, the wielded Fire-Borrowing Greatsword struck the psychic-enhanced Vast Sky Scepter!

The sound didn't even have time to travel; the second sword was faster than the first. Yu Zhiwei's raised arm, which had transformed into a tough bone shield, was instantly severed, and the third sword that followed was about to pierce her heart!

That's too late.

Can't escape.

Yu Zhiwei's face was as cold as ice, but deep within her thoughts, invisible chains collided. An invisible shackle appeared in her perception and then suddenly collapsed, while the path to victory that should not have existed before came into her view as the invisible thing in her sea of ​​consciousness dissolved!
That was a technique called psychic penetration—a technique that could be slightly modified with her currently increased computing power and directly applied to her telekinesis. It could greatly enhance the penetrating effect of telekinesis, thus enabling her to directly break through weak external barriers and achieve a fatal strike beneath the shield.

Third-order gene lock, open!

The Flame-Borrowing Greatsword was almost within reach, and her gaze could also capture Si Ming's face. A death spot located between his brows came into her view. That was the death of the Night Demon Armor, protected by the aura of darkness.

She still couldn't see Si Ming's death line, yet she could already pierce through his aura and armor. The instant Si Ming's greatsword pierced her heart, she could also blast his brain apart!
Without hesitation, she channeled that power into her—

But at that very moment, she saw in the depths of Si Ming's eyes a transcendent light that was identical to the light she herself was seeing at that moment!

—You fucking wait for me here!?

An impossible opportunity for victory suddenly appeared. The blade pierced her heart, psychic power penetrated her brain. However, before her fatal point could be breached, her opponent unleashed a directional, malevolent explosion—a disruption of the psychic strike—using only one of his eyeballs!

A loud 'bang' rang out.

And immediately following that, the flames of calamity erupted!
