Pre-death assessment

Shouldn't this guy already be dead?

Shouldn't it have already vanished into nothingness and ceased to exist completely?

Why are you here?

Why... is it so persistent?

Is there really no way to kill him in this world?

Even Death couldn't do that?

The giant baby's scarlet eyes stared at Ling Wu from afar, at that tiny figure.

Enhancement? Summoning-type chess summoning ability?

Are these the only two single powers he possesses now?

If that's the case, then perhaps... we can kill him right here!

Although it's unclear why he's still alive, it seems he's been reduced to his original form.

He returned to the starting point and stepped into the pre-death assessment space once again.

Then... we absolutely cannot let him continue!

"die!"

The next moment, a sharp roar came from the giant baby's mouth.

His massive body shot out with a whoosh, hurtling towards Ling Wu and Lei Yun.

His enormous body blotted out the sky, and his huge fist clenched tightly as he slammed it down towards Ling Wu and Lei Yun.

In that instant, Lei Yun gripped Ling Wu's hand tightly.

Should we... leave?

Why isn't Ling Wu reacting at all?

"Stop hurting my sister!"

Just then, a thunderous roar erupted.

Lei Zhenyu immediately burst forward from behind at full speed.

A massive golden body of lightning blocked the view above Ling Wu and Lei Yun.

The giant baby's enormous fist came crashing down, but he grabbed its wrist.

Then, two arms stretched out from behind his thunderous golden body and grabbed the giant baby's neck.

His entire body erupted with lightning, and he suddenly grabbed the giant infant and pressed it into the distance.

Take the giant baby and get away from Ling Wu and Lei Yun.

He knew all too well how powerful this giant baby was.

If they were to meet head-on, his sister and Ling Wu would certainly have no chance of fighting back.

Therefore, the boss of the second level of the pre-death assessment space can only be defeated by oneself!

"court death!"

The giant baby roared and suddenly stretched out its fist in mid-air.

A sharp, purple-gold-red blade extended from his fist, and he delivered a punch.

laugh!

The purple-gold-red blade pierced through the waist of Lei Zhenyu's massive golden thunder body in an instant.

Fuck you!

Lei Zhenyu gritted his teeth, his four arms gripping the giant infant tightly: "Thunder Pool Purgatory!"

Rumble!

Suddenly, a burst of lightning erupted, engulfing both him and the giant infant.

Unfortunately, his lightning, powerful enough to destroy everything, could only cause negligible damage to the giant infant.

"Since you want to die, then I'll let you die first!"

The giant baby roared and then grabbed Lei Zhenyu's arm, pulling it sharply.

With a hissing sound, one of Lei Zhenyu's massive golden lightning body's arms was torn off alive, along with the dissipation of lightning...

But his remaining arm did not loosen its grip, still holding tightly to the giant baby's body, while lightning surged wildly and bombarded it relentlessly.

Blinding lightning flashed across the sky above the second level of the pre-death assessment space.

Thunder rumbled, its force overwhelming.

On Ling Wu's side, some giant cannons were also summoned for long-range attacks to wear them down.

Just then, the giant baby suddenly raised its hand and waved.

boom!

The giant eggshell that the purple-gold-red bell, which had been standing in place, transformed into suddenly flew up.

With a clang, they landed on either side of Ling Wu and Lei Yun.

Then, they suddenly merged together!

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Ling Wu, Lei Yun, and the surrounding land were completely enveloped by the giant egg.

Upon seeing this, Lei Zhenyu's expression immediately changed: "If you protect them, it will save me the trouble of worrying about them."

"Protect?"

The giant infant sneered, "Only by trapping them inside this giant egg can they be prevented from reaching the third level."

He knew that Ling Wu and Lei Yun had already met the requirements for passing the test.

They can teleport to the third level at any time.

However, if they are enclosed in a sealed space made of this purple-gold-red metal.

Any attempt to teleport will be futile.

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhenyu's face immediately darkened: "Damn it! Open it for me!"

"That guy... must die!"

The giant baby sneered, "But before that, you have to die."

After he finished speaking, the muscles made of purple-gold-red metal on his ugly and huge body suddenly bulged.

Then, he suddenly gathered his strength and unleashed a powerful punch.

With a loud thud, Lei Zhenyu was sent flying backward by his terrifying brute force.

The enormous, thunderous body slammed heavily onto the purple-gold-red giant egg.

He quickly got up, looked at the giant egg beside him, and raised his fist and punched it several times.

The fist, accompanied by lightning, slammed fiercely into the giant egg.

Unfortunately, the entire giant egg remained perfectly sealed, its powerful defenses preventing him from breaking through.

"A defensive ability user at the third realm, when defending with all their might, can be comparable to black metal."

The giant infant's voice slowly drifted over: "Under the full force of defense from all four realms, it is comparable to moonlight metal."

"And a defensive ability user who has reached the fifth level, when defending with all their might... is comparable to this purple-gold red metal."

"A defense comparable to the strongest in the fifth realm; even if you possess fifth-realm lightning, you won't be able to break through it!"

The sturdiness of this purple-gold-red metal is unique in the entire pre-death assessment space.

Even a fifth-realm expert specializing in pure attack would find it difficult to open.

Besides, Lei Zhenyu now... has to deal with him too!

After failing to land another punch on the giant egg, Lei Zhenyu turned and stared at the giant infant.

Then, he said coldly, "If I kill you, this broken eggshell should be able to be opened."

"Can you do it?"

The giant baby's shrill voice sneered, "If you can't do it, they'll be trapped inside forever."

"There's no food, absolutely nothing."

"They will starve to death inside."

"Oh, maybe when they're starving, they'll even eat each other."

"After all, things like this are often seen in this pre-death assessment space."

When starving to the extreme, they will eat other people.

Many people might think that such a thing is almost impossible.

But in reality, the power of hunger is strong, and so is the instinct for survival.

When people are extremely hungry, many people will do this.

Such things happening in the pre-death assessment space are nothing out of the ordinary.

"And... Ling Wu is a man, and your sister is a woman."

The giant baby then sneered, "Tell me, if they were all so hungry they'd go crazy and eat people, who would eat whom first?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhenyu's face turned extremely gloomy.

He then roared, "My brother-in-law and my sister would never kill each other!"

"Heh, you really underestimate human nature."

The giant baby sneered, "Of course you think that way when the conditions haven't reached that level."

Let alone couples, if it really comes to the point of madness, the act of exchanging children to eat is a real phenomenon.

"You underestimated my brother-in-law!"

Lei Zhenyu snorted coldly, and then lightning erupted from his body.

Then he rushed towards the giant baby.

Now, he truly has no other choice.

The only solution is to kill this guy.

No matter the cost, we must kill this guy and release my sister and Ling Wu.

Immediately, the two enormous bodies collided violently in the apocalyptic ruins.

Lightning and the aura of death filled the second level of the assessment space.

The already chaotic second assessment space became even more disorganized.

This second level of assessment is like that; it will never be reset.

Therefore, every act of destruction will remain forever.

This vast space will only increasingly resemble a post-apocalyptic ruin…

……

Meanwhile, inside that giant egg.

"Ling Wu!"

Lei Yun was a little scared at this moment, and couldn't see anything.

He could only hold Ling Wu's hand tightly.

Ling Wu raised his hand, and the chessboard unfolded, summoning a chariot and turning on its headlights.

"What do we do now?"

Lei Yun frowned: "The material of this giant egg is even more sturdy than that of a high-level hunter. Are we... just going to be stuck like this?"

"Unless that guy dies, we really won't get out."

Ling Wu let out a soft sigh: "Moreover, now that we're trapped inside this giant egg, we can't directly teleport to the third level."

"this……"

Lei Yun's face immediately darkened.

How can this be good?

Inside this giant egg, they were both just ordinary ability users.

You can starve to death!

"I can only leave it to your younger brother."

Ling Wu then slowly said, "A fifth-realm lightning elementalist, if he were to risk everything... could take down that guy."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yun looked at Ling Wu.

Then he could only sigh helplessly.

Therefore, all of this was arranged by Ling Wu.

If they are still outside, they can leave at any time.

Now, there is nowhere left to go.

There is no choice but to defeat that clone seed.

Ling Wu deliberately led himself into this trap by that guy.

In this situation, Lei Zhenyu has no choice but to fight desperately!

"I'm sorry, this is indeed a bit cruel, and I am indeed... very selfish!" Ling Wu said softly.

He made Lei Zhenyu do this in order to seize the power of that seed.

Lei Yun had no choice but to endure the pain of losing a loved one once again.

Lei Yun took a deep breath. What else could she do?

Since I promised to help him, I can only help him to the end.

Moreover... his younger brother was merely summoned; he could be resurrected.

He is also a fourth-level expert.

Indeed, there is no one more suitable than him.

If Lei Zhenyu were a real person, she wouldn't have agreed to Ling Wu's request.

After all, no matter how much you like someone, you wouldn't risk your loved one's life for their happiness, would you?

"Just remember that you owe me a favor," Lei Yun then whispered.

I do owe you a favor.

Ling Wu smiled: "In return, I will do my best to take you out of the pre-death assessment space and back to the present world!"

Lei Yun forced a smile; in truth, whether or not she went back wasn't that important to her.

Because she already had no relatives or friends in this world.

"After this, will I be able to summon him at the Fifth Realm?"

Lei Yun then asked another question.

Lei Zhenyu has now reached the fifth realm.

After this, if I can summon a Lei Zhenyu at the fifth realm...

It will certainly be much more convenient in the future.

Ling Wu shook his head: "Right now, he's just a summoned creature, while you can summon your family, not a summoned creature."

Therefore, this is impossible.

The Lei Zhenyu she could summon at most... was only the first level, the Lei Zhenyu before his death.

Any stage is acceptable, as long as it's before.

But afterwards, Lei Zhenyu was just a summoned creature!

Upon hearing this, Lei Yun gave another bitter smile.

So then, I'll have to explain to Lei Zhenyu why he's still alive...
