While I was chanting a curse, the system said I was Xiao Yan?

Chapter 187 Trading

Gojo Satoru withdrew his fist, stood still, glanced down at the lingering blue electric shock on his fist, and then turned his head to look at the stack of shipping containers that had been smashed through.

The torn edges of the sheet metal were still trembling slightly, and several broken pieces of metal fell from above, hitting the concrete ground with a crisp sound.

He pushed up his sunglasses and walked toward the dented container, his steps unhurried, the metal scraps crunching under his feet.

Lu Ziyun's body was embedded in the sunken surface of the box. There was a clear fist mark on the blue jacket on her chest, and blood was seeping out of the mark, flowing down the fabric.

His breathing was rapid and shallow, and bloodstains were slowly sliding down the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the metal beneath him with a soft pattering sound.

Gojo Satoru stopped about two meters in front of him: "I only used 30% of my strength in that punch just now, as a greeting. Considering you still have a use, I didn't go all out."

He stretched and said, "You should understand now that your attacks can't break through my bottomless pit. Continuing to fight is just a waste of time. Just obediently transfer your points, and I'll let you go, so I don't have to take action again."

Lu Ziyun lay in the dent of the metal sheet, silent for a moment, then he laughed. The laugh was bloodshot, spreading from the corner of his mouth to the depths of his eyes. It was a laugh that came from being cornered and then having all his fighting spirit ignited.

...Want points?

His voice was hoarse, but every word carried an indomitable spirit: "Then come and get it yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body sprang up from the dented metal surface. His movements were even faster than before. He pushed off the metal with both feet, and his whole body was like a compressed spring being released. However, the direction was not towards Gojo Satoru in front of him, but backward!

Lu Ziyun flipped halfway in mid-air before plunging into the seawater at the edge of the harbor in an almost vertical arc.

The water exploded where it landed, white foam spreading outwards before quickly subsiding, leaving only a slowly spreading ripple.

Gojo Satoru stood there, looking at the sea that was gradually calming down, a puzzled expression on his face:

...Jump into the sea? Water infiltrating your electric-attribute curse power—isn't that just courting death?

He slowly flew to the spot where Lu Ziyun had just entered the water and looked down at the surface.

The seawater was still churning on the surface, and blue light was flashing underwater. Countless fine electric lights were advancing, spreading, and dissipating in the depths of the seawater, illuminating that area as a constantly churning blue halo.

A massive amount of magical power was pouring into the seawater, and the electric lights flickered and jumped at an extremely fast frequency, forming a blue area that was reacting violently in the depths of the sea.

Gojo Satoru looked at the surging blue lightning and raised an eyebrow slightly: "This guy isn't planning to commit suicide in the sea, is he...? 'Since I can't beat you, I'll choose to die in front of you,' that's such a cliché plot!"

But before he could finish speaking, a sudden wave of dizziness surged from the depths of his mind. An abnormal white began to appear at the edges of his vision, as if someone had drawn a semi-transparent curtain around his field of vision. His breathing became somewhat sluggish, and a metallic, astringent taste rose from deep in his throat.

"poison?!"

He glanced down at the water and immediately understood that the electric sparks churning in the seawater were breaking down the sodium chloride in the seawater!

Hydrogen is rising, oxygen is dissipating, and it is slowly rising with the churning of bubbles, forming a layer of colorless and odorless, but highly toxic, chlorine gas on the surface of the sea!

Realizing that his attacks couldn't reach her, but finding that she still needed to breathe, did she choose to use poison?

As Gojo Satoru realized this, the dizziness became even more pronounced. His body swayed slightly, and he fell forward, plunging into the churning seawater.

He was enveloped by the cool seawater, which poured into his nasal cavity and mouth, exacerbating the corrosive effects of the chlorine.

The deep blue seawater churned in his field of vision, and bubbles rose from his lips, ascending through the chlorine-contaminated water.

Gojo Satoru saw Lu Ziyun, and the white-clothed man was still emitting electric shocks. This confirmed that, just as Gojo Satoru had predicted, Lu Ziyun would indeed suffer from adverse effects if he entered the water. He would lose his curse power uncontrollably until he died!

However, this also made Gojo Satoru lower his guard, thus giving Lu Ziyun a chance to turn the tide!

Lu Ziyun quickly rose from below, his deep blue hair swaying slightly with the buoyancy of the water. His left hand reached forward, moving extremely fast in the water, almost unaffected by resistance. With his five fingers spread, he precisely gripped Gotiao Wu's throat!

The hand tightened its grip with great force, and the numbing sensation of electricity traveled through the contact surface into the muscles and nerves of his neck, causing Gojo Satoru's neck muscles to relax as if he had lost control.

Lu Ziyun's hand was like a pair of pincers, blocking his trachea and main arteries, pressing him into deeper seawater. Lu Ziyun's voice came from the water, muffled and distorted, as if through several layers of glass: "Glug glug (You are strong, but you are still too young!)"

In the seawater, Lu Ziyun could feel the young man's body in her hands becoming softer, as if he were sliding from consciousness into unconsciousness!

Something flashed in Lu Ziyun's eyes—something called satisfaction.

It seems that this victory has finally come to us!

But this feeling didn't last long; he sensed it!

In his palm, Gojo Satoru's neck was hardening again!

The change was completely opposite to what it had been before. Now the tension was returning inch by inch, spreading outwards from a very subtle point, as if something was supporting those loose muscles from the inside.

It's a technique with no limits!

Gojo Satoru's eyes opened!

In the seawater, those eyes were initially somewhat unfocused, but then, like mist struck by lightning, they quickly converged and reformed into a single focused point, fixing on Lu Ziyun's face!

A small smile curved his lips, then gradually widened: "Glug glug! (Thank goodness I've been practicing the automatic operation of the reversal technique!)"

"Glug glug! (Otherwise, this time it really will be a disaster!)"

His mouth opened, and he exhaled a cloud of bubbles from his throat, carrying all the chlorine in his body. The bubbles rose upwards!

The reversal technique was operating at full speed within his body!

The toxicity of chlorine has been eliminated, and the damaged lungs and respiratory tract are being repaired at a visible speed. The paralyzed nerve endings are regaining their activity!

He clenched his right hand into a fist at his side, the fist drawing a short arc in the seawater before slamming it towards Lu Ziyun's abdomen above!

The fist was still covered with a very faint blue force field, but this punch was different from the previous ones; it was unleashed with rage.

Gojo no Gojo had no intention of holding back!

"boom!"

Then, the already boiling sea surface suddenly seemed to detonate a powerful bomb underwater, creating waves as high as thirty meters!

Along with the seawater, a figure covered in blood also flew up!

Lu Ziyun landed on the ground in an arc, blood splattering into a red flower beneath him, but even so, Lu Ziyun was still alive!

He lay sprawled on the dry ground, panting heavily, seawater and blood gushing from his mouth and nose, slowly flowing down his face.

His gaze was unfocused as he stared at the sky. His magical power was completely exhausted, and his fingers were still twitching slightly. He didn't even have the strength to clench his fist.

"Let's get started."

His voice was hoarse, as if squeezed from deep in his throat: "You win, kill me now."

Gojo Satoru, who had flown ashore from the water, squatted down beside him. He didn't rush to attack, but just tilted his head and looked at him for a moment: "Your vitality is really strong. But my anger has subsided, and if I kill you, I'll only get five points, but if you transfer them to me, I can get more."

Lu Ziyun turned her head to look at him: "I told you, kill me!"

Why would I kill you?

Gojo Satoru's tone remained casual: "I don't need your life."

"The loser has no choice!"

He paused, his gaze lingering on Lu Ziyun's pale face, which still held a certain obsession: "Besides, you didn't use your own magic from beginning to end, did you?"

Lu Ziyun's body stiffened slightly. She turned her head and looked at the sea in the distance, illuminated by the dark red skylight: "...My spell can only be used once. I originally intended to save it for him."

"Shu Nuo?"

"right."

Gojo Satoru nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Let's make a deal."

Lu Ziyun's gaze returned to him.

"Transfer your current scores to me in exchange..."

'

Gojo Satoru paused for a moment, then gave a wicked smile: "You can fight him before I defeat Sukuna. If you beat him, come back and fight me. I won't hold back then. If you lose to him... well, at least you'll have fought him."

He's already done his job, so he didn't lose out.

"How about it? Sounds good, right?"

Zi Lu Yunyi lay on the ground, looking at Gojo Satoru squatting beside him. He remained silent for a long time, then laughed out loud. The laughter was tinged with a split mouth and the lingering smell of blood, but it was genuine: "...You are truly arrogant!"

He paused, then shook his head: "They actually put themselves in the position of the final boss!"

"Ha, then it's decided!"

Gojo Satoru stood up with a smile. With his score exceeding 100 points again, he summoned the Golden Beetle and added new rules.

"Global rule change detected! New rule: Players can freely enter and exit the barrier of the Death Migration."

A new layer of rule fluctuations spread out above the Tokyo Barrier!

Satoru Gojo stood on the wet pile of rubble, his white hair swaying gently in the breeze. He glanced up at the thinning sky, then looked away. "Now we can go help others. But since we haven't found Guy yet, let's evacuate the rest of the population first!"

"You still need to do some work occasionally!"

Inside the Star Palace, the warm amber light still flowed slowly between the crystals of the dome, enveloping the entire space in an almost eternal tranquility.

Tianyuan sat on the stone chair, his four eyes half-closed, his hands folded on his knees, in the same posture as before, like a white stone statue carved in time.

Yuki sat on a chair opposite the stone table, her legs crossed, her long golden hair cascading down her shoulders, gleaming softly in the warm light.

She glanced at Tengen, then at Tennori standing in the corner, as if she had suddenly remembered something.

"You mentioned before that if something happens to you this time, Riko Tengen will become the new Tengen."

"But logically, you should have merged with her."

Tianyuan's four eyes shifted slightly, his gaze falling on her: "The essence of the fusion is to use the physical information of the Starmatrix to reset my physical state and prevent my evolution from exceeding a certain critical point."

"Then why don't you continue? Riko is still here, and the fusion can still be carried out."

Tianyuan was silent for a moment, then spoke, his voice still steady: "Because I accepted that possibility."

66

"What's the possibility?"

"The possibility of evolution."

Tianyuan's four eyes narrowed slightly at the same time, an expression that resembled deep thought: "I spent thousands of years avoiding my own evolution because I was afraid of what would happen after that step, afraid that I would no longer be human, afraid that I would become a harmful existence to this world."

"And now?"

"Now..

'

Tianyuan paused here: "Now I think that perhaps evolution itself is not something to be afraid of."

Tianyuan's voice remained calm, but beneath that calmness lay a certainty that seemed to have been considered many times: "Every few decades or centuries, we have to find someone willing to sacrifice themselves to maintain the status quo. That doesn't count as a solution; it's just a delaying tactic."

Ninety-nine curled her lip: "What's the use of saying all this now that things have come to this?"

"After all, I've never thought highly of your actions!"

She turned her head and glanced at Nenriko beside her: "If the Panxing Cult had chosen to protect the stellar plasma instead of hunting it down from the beginning, I might have sided with them long ago."

Riko frowned; she had absolutely no goodwill towards that organization: "Even if those guys wanted to protect me, I wouldn't go with them!"

Tsukumo Yuki chuckled: "You, as a stellar body, don't know how, but I, who am also a stellar body, might not."

Upon hearing this, Riko immediately realized something and her eyes widened: "You're also a Stardust Body?!"

"Haha, this is the first time you've heard of this, isn't it?"

Tsukumo Yuki laughed: "Yeah, I'm also a stellar body, but I'm different from you. I'm the kind of..."

They were rather rebellious, so they didn't choose to merge.

Riko looked at Tengen in shock, and Tengen nodded: "She has never liked this identity of hers, so most people don't know this."

Yuki Tsukumo: "I simply don't like you."

Tianyuan chuckled lightly: "That's true."

Then He narrowed His eyes and interrupted Nen no Riko, who was about to speak: "Although I really want to continue talking to you, but..."

"Someone has come in!"
