Chapter 107 A battle between monsters, with no clear winner.
The golden beast's shadow was covered in barbs, each one like a golden blade capable of piercing a person when it crashed down.
The viewers in the live stream felt completely overwhelmed by this display of skill.
[That's fucking cool!]
[It looks scary, but it's definitely cool!]
For some reason, there's a kind of grotesque beauty about it that makes me want to kneel down...
Do you have one too? I thought I was the only one with it.
[That only applies in games... There's no way in reality that a monster could possess such a combination of beauty and grotesqueness.]
【…】
Yes, aesthetics.
When something has an extremely unique design, it creates a sense of uniqueness.
This uniqueness could perhaps be called "beauty".
Anyway, such cases are rare in the world.
Every demonic monster possesses its own unique "beauty".
Each one is unique, and each one is exceptionally powerful.
Each one represents that they have brought their own "Tao" to its extreme.
Only in this way can it be called a "demon".
"—So you have no chance against him! Run!!" Yin Hun shouted at the top of his lungs in Liu Ren's mind.
It had originally planned to just stand by and watch.
It turned out that Liu Ren not only had no intention of avoiding it, but was going to confront it head-on.
Isn't this like an old man eating poison—courting death?
"Don't worry, I won't die." Liu Ren snorted lightly, a smile spreading across his face.
He is laughing.
Although he felt an unprecedented pressure crashing down on him, almost crushing him to pieces.
But for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart.
It's like a player who has been grinding levels on their own for decades without anyone noticing, and suddenly one day, they realize that what they've leveled up is going to come in handy.
The excitement of wanting to give it a try was palpable.
For Liu Ren, his strength expanded too quickly.
Previously, in order to farm kill points, I used some low-level monsters.
Just now, in order to break the deadlock quickly, he discovered that even Pi Xinjie, who was at the level of a demonic soul, was no match for him at all—he could only be instantly killed.
At this moment, Liu Ren had only one thought in his mind.
“…The Demon King is truly powerful…” Liu Ren murmured. As the golden monstrous shadow pressed down, his entire body was once again enveloped in a pale white bony substance, transforming him into a ferocious monster himself. “Let me see if I can actually pull you down—!”
Liu Ren's body became even more ferocious than when he used trickery before. Under everyone's gaze, his height grew to more than three meters, until he was only a little bit humanoid. Most of his body turned into a ferocious beast covered with barbs and a bony shell.
"Roar--"
The white beast let out a furious roar, and leaped up, its two long, blade-like arms propelling it into the midst of a barrage of golden sword strikes.
The crisp, crackling sounds, like firecrackers exploding in unison, echoed in everyone's ears. The white blade repeatedly collided with the golden barbs, and the flying debris, like rapidly spreading metal blades, sliced through the ground and everything around them, embedding itself deeply.
"No, get out of the way!"
The few people who had been watching the commotion immediately changed their expressions, hurriedly took out their magical tools, and began to retreat, making room for a larger battle.
They looked up in horror and saw two enormous monsters, one white and one gold, fighting each other at a speed imperceptible to the human eye.
The fierce killing intent that swept over them sent chills down the spines of everyone around them and those watching from outside the screen.
It's as if modern humans have suddenly traveled back to ancient times and happened to encounter two enormous ancient beasts fighting each other—they dare not linger, fearing that the other might accidentally trample them to death.
At this moment, everyone, whether inside the atrium or outside the screen, was stunned.
[Holy crap, I thought the streamer was going to run away, but he actually went for it!]
He went ahead with it!?
[This Tamagotchi can be used for fighting... no, it actually can!?]
【…】
With Xiao Yu's analysis, Yuan Baiming within the Special Investigation Bureau was able to clearly see the danger of this battle.
Neither the white monster that Liu Ren had transformed into nor the golden monster opposite him were on the defensive; both were attacking with all their might, repeatedly leaving terrifying wounds on each other's bodies.
It's like throwing someone into a meat grinder; the wounds appear so quickly, so ridiculously.
This makes one wonder how much longer these two monsters can fight.
After slowing down the speed by a hundred times, Yuan Baiming could clearly see that the wounds on the two monsters healed themselves shortly after they appeared.
These two meat grinders, relying on their powerful physiques and high-speed self-healing abilities, kept grinding each other without killing the other.
Both sides have the same physical strength and mental fortitude, so it seems that neither side can defeat the other in the short term.
This might just be a disguised form of perpetual motion machine...
But Yan Ziheng and the others, who had been watching for a few minutes, clearly wouldn't let this perpetual motion machine continue.
"...It seems that Liu Ren does indeed possess the strength of a demon-level being," Yan Ziheng said in a deep voice to the people around him.
Fang Congyu glanced at him but didn't say anything.
"But that's all." Yan Ziheng's stern expression returned to calm as he continued, "The battles between demons are extremely long, and it's impossible to determine a winner in a short time. But... if we add two opponents of equal strength to him, the outcome will be completely different. Chairman Fang, since we were all invited here, if we don't act now, when will we?"
Fang Congyu remained silent, but quietly raised her right hand, and a silver ring appeared on her right middle finger accompanied by a few wisps of pale blue energy.
Seeing this, Yan Ziheng smiled and unfolded the folding fan he was holding with one hand.
Suddenly, two variables appeared on the battlefield where the fighting had been fierce and evenly matched.
Two demonic forces joined the battle without warning, and Yan Ziheng and Fang Congyu even sensed a certain excitement emanating from the monsters.
It's like someone seeing a feast and wanting to devour it all immediately.
And now, Liu Ren is that feast.
A fierce wind and a deep blue, icy sea rushed toward him from above and the side.
The two strange creatures, concealing their forms within, displayed undisguised greed.
After mastering the Soul-Drinking Technique, Liu Ren knew that the way for the strange creature to improve its strength was very limited.
In short, it's all about eating.
Whether it's eating one's own kind or eating humans, the fundamental goal is to become stronger.
In this bizarre world where the big fish eat the little fish rule prevails, he has become that little fish that can be devoured.
