Samsara Space: They're all begging me to heal them one more time.

V and Ah Qiang were both dumbfounded.

"What kind of cheating skill is this?!"

Ah Qiang picked up the Gatling gun and fired a burst.

Da da da da!

Countless bullets struck Bridget, but the next second, the bullet holes were like ripples on the surface of water—they existed, but caused no real damage.

She was still standing there unharmed.

"Is this absolute defense...?" V gritted his teeth.

"No, this is not defense."

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking at Bridget. The [Tactical Data Terminal] was frantically analyzing:

"A very creative use. It infinitely prolongs the harmful effects and infinitely accelerates the beneficial ones. She turned herself into a river. Any stone thrown in will be washed away by the flow of time."

Zhang Yuan attempted to activate the power of the [Greed] chip, but only received a cold system notification:

[Warning: "Arrogance - Domain of Reign" has been used, the Original Sin System is overloaded... Greed Module cooldown: 180 seconds.]

"Tch, they let us down at the crucial moment."

Zhang Yuan curled his lip. Without the forced collection of [Greed], breaking through this rule-based tortoise shell was indeed a bit troublesome.

"Hmph, have you had enough? Now it's my turn."

Bridget gave a cold laugh and finally launched her counterattack.

She raised her hand, manipulating the gray data stream within the domain, transforming it into more than a dozen corrosive "whips of time," which lashed fiercely at the crowd, each whip carrying the effect of [Time Stripping].

If it were an ordinary Reincarnator squad, even a seasoned melee tank, a single hit would instantly age them and destroy their armor.

This is precisely the most disgusting aspect of Bridget's move—I can't kill you, but I can wear you down until you die of old age.

however……

"Watch out!" Ah-Qiang instinctively tried to dodge, but his heavy armor made it impossible for him to dodge in time.

Just as the gray whip was about to strike Ah Qiang's face—

Om-!

A huge hexagonal light shield radiating holy golden light appeared out of thin air in front of A-Qiang.

【Holy Guardian Badge】!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The whips, imbued with the corrosive power of time, struck the light shield, but instead of corroding it, they sizzled from the divine attributes attached to it and instantly retracted.

"Is this your attack?"

Zhang Yuan stood at the very back of the line, not moving an inch. He glanced at the tiny crack on the light shield and curled his lip.

"Is its attack power that weak? It can't even break through the defense of one of my D-rank skills?"

"This is impossible!" Bridget's face darkened, and she waved her arms, unleashing a barrage of gray energy projectiles like a torrential rain.

But in front of Zhang Yuan, it was no different from tickling an itch.

[A homophone for "heaven"!]

The team's maximum health has been greatly increased!

[Holy Light Protection]!

The invincible eggshell, immune to physical damage!

[Fast Healing]!

Even if V accidentally scrapes his skin, a flash of green light appears the next second, and not a scar is left.

Purification!

Bridget had painstakingly stacked several layers of the Aging Debuff on Ah-Qiang, but it was casually removed by a Purifying Wave!

What's most infuriating is Zhang Yuan's nonchalant attitude, which makes Bridget grit her teeth.

At this moment, if any other reincarnator team were to face Bridget, it would be a nightmare of difficulty—

The attacks landed on Bridget without any feedback, and her defenses couldn't stop the eerie erosion of time. In the end, she could only watch herself age and die in despair.

But with Zhang Yuan... the style suddenly changed.

This completely turned into a bladder-scraping session of "scraping each other's bladders".

Bridget couldn't break through Zhang Yuan's turtle shell, and Zhang Yuan hadn't broken through her Time River Defense for the time being.

"Huff... huff..."

A few minutes later, Bridget was the first to start panting.

Maintaining this high-dimensional attack puts a tremendous strain on her mental health, while the group on the other side... didn't even have their hairstyles messed up!

Especially that man wearing the fox mask, his endless defensive buffs were even more blatant than her cheating!

"Why did you stop fighting?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Bridget, who had stopped attacking, with a mocking smile on his face:

"Since you can't break through my defenses, now... it's our turn to conduct a 'damage test'."

"V, A-Qiang, Qingyue."

Zhang Yuan's voice rang out in the team's chat, tinged with a hint of mischievousness:

"This is a rare target. Maximum defense, almost zero movement, and negligible attack power... It's perfect for testing the maximum burst damage we can unleash when we're fighting the colonel."

"Everyone assemble! Stack buffs!"

hum!

Zhang Yuan raised his hands high, and the first golden holy light shone down.

[Weapon Blessing]!

V felt as if the gun in his hand had become lighter, and the kinetic energy of the bullet seemed to be enhanced by some mysterious force.

boom!

A shot hit Bridget, and although it still didn't break through her defenses, Bridget's swaying frequency seemed to increase by a tiny bit.

"That's interesting. Let's do it again."

Zhang Yuan waved again...

[Angel's Blessing]!

The demonic blade in Lin Qingyue's hand ignited with an even more intense red light.

"Keep up the good work."

【Honor and Blessing - The Golden Rhythm】!

This time, Ah Qiang felt as if he had become Superman. The recoil of the Gatling gun had completely disappeared, and every bullet was accompanied by a golden tail flame.

Da da da da!

Dense barrage of bullets rained down on Bridget like a metal storm, while V and Lin Qingyue, both at full buff level, unleashed their full power!

Bridget's previously calm expression finally changed.

She felt the gray "River of Time" shield begin to vibrate violently, and the damage that could originally be infinitely distributed actually began to accumulate.

"What...are you doing?!"

"They're conducting an experiment."

Zhang Yuan smiled, and finally, he moved himself.

He slowly raised his left hand, and a huge golden hammer of light materialized out of thin air.

At the same time, he pulled out the menacing Redeemer shotgun with his right hand.

【The Hammer of the Holy Spirit - Judgment】!

"Now, we are testing at full capacity."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zhang Yuan fired a gun with one hand and swung a hammer with the other.

Bullets and the holy hammer intertwined to form a web of destruction.

Bridget finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Although "Time River Undying Body" is still in effect, the continuous damage is simply too high and too dense.

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth, and her body began to tremble slightly.

"Enough!!"

Bridget screamed, and a burst of gray energy forcefully repelled the attacks.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with resentment and venom:

"You think you can kill me like this? Dream on!"

"I have slowed down the flow of time in my physical body infinitely! Any damage you cause has been stretched out to a thousand times the duration of time!"

"No matter how strong your attacks are now, spread over a thousand years, they'll only be a tickle to me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan suddenly stopped what he was doing.

He looked at Bridget with a strange, even slightly... pitying, expression.

"You're saying... you amplified the damage a thousandfold?"

"That's right!" Bridget declared proudly. "That's the rule! As long as the power of [Sloth] remains, I am invincible!"

"I see."

Zhang Yuan nodded and put away the light hammer and shotgun.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a dazzling ball of lightning condensed in his palm.

"What if..."

Zhang Yuan's voice was as cold as ice:

"...What if my attack speed was the speed of light?"

"What?" Bridget was taken aback.

"The speed of light is... 30 kilometers per second!"

Even if you slow it down a thousand times, it's still 300 kilometers per second.

The ball of lightning in Zhang Yuan's hand gradually grew larger, its flashing light so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes. It was none other than the ultimate technique he had been infusing with divine authority—[Light's Vengeance - Thunder Judgment]!

"Moreover, the kinetic energy carried by the speed of light is infinite."

"To your body, this is still something that cannot be reacted to, cannot be distributed, and cannot be understood... an instant kill."

"Ms. Bridget, thank you for your cooperation. The experiment is over."

boom------!!!

The lightning ball in Zhang Yuan's hand suddenly exploded.

There was no flight path.

The moment the lightning flashed, it had already struck its target.

It was a pure, golden bolt of lightning imbued with the power of rules.

Bridget's "River of Time" domain did indeed take effect.

It tried to capture the lightning, to stretch it out and slow it down.

But it was too fast!

Lightning at the speed of light disregarded the quagmire of time.

Even if it is slowed down a thousand times, the energy density that bursts out in that instant is still enough to evaporate all obstacles within a microsecond.

"No--!!!"

Bridget only managed to let out a short scream.

The bolt of lightning pierced through her chest, instantly burning her heart and the so-called "time realm" to charcoal.

So-called absolute defense is like a thin sheet of paper in the face of absolute speed and violence.

pat.

Bridget's body lay on the ground, her chest charred and still emitting blue smoke.

The gray "Sloth" chip rolled out from the wound, still emitting a faint glow.

"Did you see that?"

Zhang Yuan walked over, picked up the chip, and blew off the dust.

"That's the charm of physics."

"Even time can't outrun light."

[The original sin chip, Sloth, has been detected.]

[Limited to the current world, you gain the power: Time River Immortality.]

"The last piece of the puzzle is complete."

Zhang Yuan held the cold, gray chip in his hand and turned to look at his teammates behind him.

"Let's go."

"V, your operating table is ready."

"The colonel's troops will arrive soon. Before that..."

A glint of fervor flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes:

"We are going to create a... true god of war."
