Doomsday Jigsaw Puzzle

Chapter 381: Chapter 185: The Strongest Madman in the World

That bad feeling came again.

Jing Wu watched Bai Wu and Zero, recalling how he had once thought he would defeat his opponent, yet his opponent had risen again and again.

Now Bai Wu was weakened, but another monster had arrived.

Jing Er watched all of this, feeling somewhat uncomfortable inside.

He had taken a liking to the young girl, thinking that through love and compassion, she had subdued the grudge.

Originally, she was a perfect candidate to be his Guardian, but he did not expect his sincere devotion to be betrayed.

He sighed helplessly,

"My purpose for coming this time was only to kill the rebel foretold in the prophecy; I had no intention of killing you."

Jing Er had been injured and Bai Wu had forcibly implanted a weakness in him using a Doomsday Fragment.

But even so, he still possessed strength that Zero and Hong Yin combined could not surpass.

In such a situation, Jing Wu still had the power to fight.

Therefore, Jing Er very much hoped that the other party would be sensible.

"Killing should only be used on evil creatures; you are very kind, and I don’t wish to kill you."

Hong Yin now felt... this person wasn’t so pleasant to look at.

She turned her head away, deliberately avoiding looking at Jing Er and said to Bai Wu,

"Brother, he talks too much."

"Indeed."

Jing Er wasn’t angry but just sighed more heavily, his Buddhist light growing brighter.

Jing Wu also knew that as long as he joined forces with his brother, it would be easy to defeat Zero in this battle.

The black breath from the Soul-Devouring Swamp spread out, which was something even more terrible than Hong Yin’s grudge.

The young girl furrowed her brows slightly, wondering why her brother’s enemies were so strong? But... it didn’t matter.

Her thought process was simple: Bai Wu had saved her, so she had to save Bai Wu.

"Don’t hold me back, just protect Brother well," Hong Yin said to Zero.

Zero looked at Hong Yin with a complex expression:

"No respect for elders."

Hong Yin ignored Zero, and in the time it took to speak, a torrential grudge turned into a giant black deer!

Beneath the black deer’s hooves, black lotuses bloomed!

A perfect Mutation Entry, Super Grudge Manifestation.

Having survived Jing Er’s "Death Uprooting" style boost, Hong Yin could now directly morph into a monster of the Lake God’s level!

In an instant, the Lake God created an illusionary realm barrier with the grudge,

As if Zao Lake Village had reappeared, within the vast lake, the Lake God stared at Jing Wu and Jing Er.

Jing Er chanted Buddha’s name in a low voice, his golden pupils sternly watching the Lake God.

The next second, vast grudges began to steam, and under the Buddha’s light, the grudge-formed lake water boiled and rolled.

The Lake God’s body began to disintegrate like flying ashes.

Hong Yin was stunned; how could the strength gap be so large... hadn’t her brother just punched a hole through his body?

The seemingly endless grudge was casually dissolved by Jing Er, and Hong Yin seemed to realize just how powerful the monster she was facing was.

Suddenly, a scorching beam shot out from the grudge, and as Jing Er brought his hands together, ready to utterly dissipate Hong Yin’s attack—

Zero made his move.

This powerful beam forced Jing Er to erect a golden barrier.

But it was useless; Zero’s power was enough to penetrate this defense!

As the grudge dissipated, Jing Er’s body was scorched by the beam, and the force knocked him dozens of meters away, raising a cloud of dust.

Jing Er shook his head, still not used to someone able to confront him head-on.

As Jing Er’s body created a dust cloud, beyond the cloud of dust, Hong Yin glanced at Zero, who then stared at the dust and said,

"Keep Bai Wu safe and don’t hold me back."

The young girl pouted but did not respond. She realized that this white-haired individual was much stronger than herself.

Times seem to have changed.

Evil Fallen in the distance was very displeased.

"Why do you all have to help that human? Didn’t the four of us... kill the Traveler together! Why have you all gone over to the humans’ side?"

The appearance of Hong Yin made Evil Fallen’s mental state a bit shaky.

The four top Evil Fallen had been invited by the Traveler, and now two of them had turned sides to the humans!

Why, oh why? Why did they have friends among humans? Why didn’t he have any?

At this moment, Evil Fallen even thought, how good it would be if he stood on the side of humans, if only he could survive, he could become friends with countless people.

He would become a hero, even if there were two Well Level monsters, he could bounce back their attacks...

He seemed to see a scene where everyone was shouting that he was a hero.

The days of being detested by humans and ghosts would end...

But quickly, he became dejected and returned to reality... he stood on the opposite side of humanity.

"I’m going to find that woman! She must hate humans too! I hate humans... because they hate me... She must be the same kind as me..."

Nie Chongshan listened to Evil Fallen’s ramblings, suddenly feeling that this creature was truly pitiful.

Should I tell it that the woman named Shen Shuyue actually has some connection to Bai Wu?

Somehow, saying this sentence out loud felt like an overwhelmingly strong attack that it wouldn’t be able to bounce back or defend against.

It’s indeed pitiful, willing to be a mere tool for Black Gold Island and Huangquan Island because of its loneliness.

Hmph, lonely trash.

In the end, Nie Chongshan didn’t speak out. What Evil Fallen was doing at this moment wasn’t important; what was important was whether the young girl and the robot could defeat those two monsters.

The dust settled.

The figure of Jing Er slowly emerged, and on the distant horizon, a hint of dawn began to break, scattering the surrounding darkness.

Jing Wu and Zero began their battle. With the support of Hong Yin’s Super Grudge Manifestation, Zero, being a robot, hid his life force extremely well, making it impossible for Jing Wu to sense his attacks.

Ray after ray shot out from the black grudge, Zero’s perception relied on technology, while Jing Wu’s perception relied on sheer numbness.

Although Hong Yin had become much stronger and was one of Bai Wu’s strongest supports, second only to Zero,

the gap between her and Zero was still too large for her to combat at the Well Level.

However, Hong Yin discovered that her attack could provide a bit of confusion for the high and mighty robot, serving some sort of feint function. freewebnoveℓ.com

The black grudge was like a fog of war that was only effective against the enemy.

Although she was unhappy that her role was limited to this, at least she was also protecting Bai Wu, so Hong Yin endured and increasingly exerted herself in manifesting the Grudge.

Outside the massive fog of grudge, Jing Er had a look of bewilderment in his eyes.

He had been completely confident in killing Bai Wu, but now, with Zero’s appearance, the process had become slightly difficult.

Watching Jing Wu being constantly suppressed by Zero and Hong Yin, Jing Er remained indifferent, his goal had always been Bai Wu.

But could he really still kill Bai Wu?

If the prophecy told by his younger sister was true, then his efforts should also be part of the prophecy’s effect. His sister couldn’t see the causality of these people, but if Bai Wu changing the world was the conclusion, did it mean that this causality would ultimately lead to his own death?

Zero’s strike didn’t injure Jing Er, that very strike was even less than Bai Wu’s final counterattack punch.

But with the arrival of Zero and Hong Yin, as well as Bai Wu showing his tremendous potential, Jing Er began to feel a "hindrance" within himself.

Suddenly, he felt that Bai Wu might be some sort of destiny.

So, at this moment, Jing Er’s eyes became even more enlightened, the Buddha light throughout the sky pierced through the dust, and he looked like a golden Buddha.

"If he truly is the one from the prophecy... then he must not die! But what if I make a full-strength strike, creating a situation where he must die?"

"Was I too foolish? As long as I can kill him, what does it matter if I bring a myriad of beings down with him? I have always worked to save the world with a heart full of great compassion; it comes with limitations."

"If I am to slay demons, I must become one."

A series of preachy thoughts flashed through Jing Er’s mind. Previously, because he didn’t want to take lives, he always had reservations, but now, he was afraid.

Fearful that the prophecy was true, fear made him set aside unnecessary hypocrisy.

A powerful aura continuously surged from Jing Er’s body.

At this moment, everyone felt an oppressive force, and all eyes were drawn towards the ever-growing golden Buddha above.

Jing Er, who was already muscular, grew even more imposing.

The sound of the wind came to an abrupt halt, and the dust floating in the air also came to a standstill; it seemed as if Baichuan City was paused, unless one intentionally resisted that force.

Bai Wu’s hands trembled involuntarily, fear evident in every eye within the balloon,

Zero had not expected that the power gap between Jing Er and Jing Wu would be so huge...

Furthermore, it seemed as if the opponent was executing some kind of highly exhausting, destructive technique!

Jing Wu looked at his elder brother in shock, not sure whether to laugh or cry, seemingly unable to react to the fact that his brother would use such immense power. But soon he burst into laughter:

"Such a level of power... Even if he wasn’t attacking me directly, just being caught in the aftermath... I would be seriously injured, right? Hahaha... This is your true face, my brother! Hahaha... To hell with merciful false Buddhists, you are truly an apocalyptic Asura!"

The six Well Glyph Monsters’ stances were hard to align completely, but at least until the High Tower was discovered and the monsters within were freed, Jing Wu thought that their goals were aligned.

Naturally, it hoped its elder brother would tear off the false mask and become an apocalyptic demon.

That was the attitude a superior being should have!

Once bereft of so-called mercy and Buddha nature, the power Jing Er was gathering at that moment was enough to make this city an absolute ruin and a land of death.

Zero’s core quickly provided feedback, swiftly making a judgment.

The chance of death was ninety-seven percent, and even with the three percent chance of survival, he would be left in a critically injured state, unable to fight!

However, Jing Er’s move was also greatly taxing on himself, looking at Jing Wu’s maniacal expression. Zero estimated that Jing Wu might also be severely injured, but certainly not as tragically as himself.

Even if his combat value reached the Well Level standard, ultimately, he was no match for these monsters birthed from the Well in other respects.

Despair spread throughout the entire city.

Even the weakest members of the Investigation Corps could feel the fear of imminent death.

Nie Chongshan, Gu Hailing, Wu Jiu, and Yan Zizai, these top fighters need not be mentioned, their faces were etched with unwillingness.

"Is it all going to be destroyed after all this effort..."

In the lengthy night, after endless fighting, countless comrades had died, the war had undergone numerous twists and turns—just as hope seemed within reach, it ultimately... fell short at the last moment.

Jing Er was indeed an apocalyptic Asura, those guarding near the Well finally revealed their most terrifying aspect.

"Run... Brother, flee as far as you can..." Bai Wu was afraid.

Her true form was that ball of grudge, but within that ball of grudge, countless eyes shared a single look.

Zero didn’t speak because he knew very well that there was no escape.

The blacksmith looked incredulously at the colossal golden Buddha, ready to bring about an apocalypse at any moment.

"Are we truly just disposable pawns in the eyes of the Great One?"

The judge couldn’t imagine this power; perhaps if the one on the plane came out, only the complete Power of Life and Death could contend with such a level of destruction.

He even felt a fear that suggested not even escaping into the Nether River could save him from death.

And what about Evil Fallen? Suddenly, it felt very happy.

It laughed and cried at the same time:

"Hahahahaha... At least when I die, I’ll have so many people to accompany me in death. You didn’t like me while you were alive, but in death, you can’t get rid of me, hahahahaha... cough cough cough cough..."

Everyone’s emotions were complex; Gu Hailing took steps forward, positioning himself in front, his massive body shielding both the prisoners and the members of the Investigation Corps.

It was meaningless; his body couldn’t stop Jing Er’s apocalyptic blow.

But at least... he could die in front of his subordinates.

Zero stood in front of Bai Wu, while Bai Wu protected Bai Wu. Zero then took up a full defense stance.

Jing Er floated in the sky, the massive golden killing Buddha finally made its move!

The endless majesty and murderous intent made every living being in Baichuan City feel the fear of death’s imminent arrival!

"All who threaten the Well will be erased completely! Including the so-called saviors!"

The world-ending strike descended; Jing Er shouted madly in mid-air:

"This world! Has no savior!"

His whole body enveloped in golden light, he became like a golden sun. With a final insane outcry, a terrifying power burst forth from his body.

The golden sun exploded.

Blinding golden light made it impossible for people to keep their eyes open; with eyes shut, they waited in the darkness for death to arrive.

All was over, the dust had settled!

Even if he himself would be blasted half to death, even if the executives of Black Gold Island were to accompany him in death, Jing Wu was still very content.

With joy on his face, he awaited the golden light to swallow Zero, Bai Wu, and Bai Wu’s damned obsession!

But at that moment... suddenly, Jing Wu shuddered.

That damn feeling was back! The kind that always happened just when he thought victory was at hand, but an unexpected turn would inevitably occur. It had fucking come again!

But this time, it was different.

The golden light halted, and Jing Wu didn’t know why it stopped, nor did it know why it felt afraid.

It was too frightening, an overpowering, unknown, unprecedented fear completely immobilized it.

Jing Wu realized that it was just like those onlooking ants... unable to control its own life!

And in that moment, a heart demon descended upon Jing Er.

"Why is he here... why does it have to be when I’ve fought with all my strength... is this really fate... can this human... really not be killed?"

"Could this human... truly be the savior, and the Well will be destroyed by his hand? Impossible... the Power of Causality my sister wields comes from the Well, how could it possibly see through the Well..."

"But if not so, why time and again... does this damned human continue to survive?"

Before destroying everything, Jing Er felt a flicker of doubt. But if he could kill Bai Wu, the fear brought by the prophecy, that feeling of doubt, would be utterly shattered.

That’s why he unleashed such a powerful force, capable of annihilating all life forms.

But what he hadn’t anticipated was that a true monster, the strongest lunatic, would appear here.

Jing Er’s mightiest strike was pushed back with an unreasonable force, forcibly reversed.

It was like a sun about to explode, instantly compressed back into itself by a dominating power several times greater.

The released energy was ruthlessly and brutally stuffed back inside Jing Er.

A voice rang out, somewhat confused, somewhat dazed, and slightly mad:

"I beg you, please save Baichuan City. Heh, I beg you, please save Baichuan City! I beg you, please save Baichuan City! Hahaha, you must save Baichuan City!"

Sadness, madness, joy, confusion - the phrase ’you must save Baichuan City’ was spoken in several different intonations.

It was a madman, endlessly repeating a sentence communicated with the life of an old friend.

That old friend had been killed by it, once again.

"Hahahaha... I beg you, please save Baichuan City!"

When that laughter erupted, the core of Zero couldn’t even estimate the threat it posed, causing, for the first time, Zero to show a look of terror on its face.

For others, this was beyond their comprehension; ants can’t feel the difference between a cat and a tiger, they can be easily killed by a cat, and in their eyes, a tiger is nothing more than a cat.

Therefore, the weakest ones couldn’t sense the vast gap in that enormous power.

Upon hearing that terrifying laughter, whether it was Evil Fallen or humans, they simply thought another super monster had appeared in Baichuan City.

But for Jing Wu, Jing Er, and Zero, this feeling was completely different.

When Jing Wu heard that laughter, it was somewhat unfamiliar, but it quickly remembered.

"Impossible... impossible... impossible..."

Jing Wu struggled to break free from the immobilization, looking in the direction of Jing Er.

The gigantic golden Buddha in the sky had completely dimmed, with a blanket of stars above Jing Er.

Beneath the stars stood a man, chained, with his upper body bare, and an evil smile on his face.

It was Zero’s first time encountering such a being, it looked at Jing Er’s terrified expression and then at Bai Wu. freewebnσvel.cøm

Bai Wu was calm.

Even Prayle’s Eye, in its current state, couldn’t make any assessment of the malevolent creature high in the sky.

He hadn’t known this monster would come, but he could see that Baichuan City would ultimately be victorious.

So he was clear, Jing Er’s all-annihilating move would inevitably be interrupted.

He just didn’t expect that such a terrifying annihilating power would be... snuffed out so nonchalantly.

It came suddenly, without any warning, and even Jing Er, Jing Wu, and Zero couldn’t sense it, but when it went wild, its vast aura caused everyone to tremble.

Bai Wu saw its true form for the first time.

"You seem to know it?" Zero was surprised by Bai Wu’s calmness.

"Yes, now it’s best to completely conceal our presence, do nothing, don’t move; this battle is over, we’ve won. But let’s leave the celebration of victory until after it leaves."

"Who is it?" Zero couldn’t imagine there being such a terrifying existence in the world.

Bai Wu didn’t know how to describe Jing Si, simply looking at the sky and saying:

"It is the most terrifying monster in this world."
