I Can See Health Bars in Real Life

Chapter 786: Chapter 43: Bluffing and the Cost of Rewards (Part 2)

If I were to descend upon Earth, and coincidentally be captured...

I would die... wouldn’t I...

......

...

Sea of the Moon.

Within the deepest secret building, there lies a management array controlling the entire Moon Sea’s data and operations. Furthermore, the root of the Imaginary Tree is also here, making this space the most heavily guarded area, with layers upon layers of Techniques, numerous Talismans, various technological closures, and dimensional disruptions...

From the perspective of Magic, this is a battlefield far above the Level of the Great Divine Hall.

From the perspective of technology, this is a doomsday sanctuary.

Everything is as it should be, and all the facilities are core secrets. Even the fixed "hole," the path related to the Great Holy Grail on the other side, is located within this space... Compiling events, pruning events, this is undoubtedly the Power belonging to the universe itself, the true Power to unfold worldlines and create history.

The records of Anomalous history manifest as a vivid and real world.

Multiple spatiotemporal lines unfold as such.

"Cough cough..."

A person who left a profound impression worldwide upon returning to this space could no longer hold on.

His body is like a precious ceramic that has been collided, with cracks spreading continuously. Just now, he was able to barely sustain himself, yet was at the end of his rope. And after releasing the fusion with Tamamo no Mae, he directly faced self-destruction, as if the bonds of particles had disintegrated, molecular cycles collapsing...

Gu Mo’s figure was breaking apart bit by bit, as if fading into oblivion.

That’s why he didn’t take action, like directly cutting down the Imaginary Tree of the Atlantic Anomaly Zone or casually eliminating the Fire Giant King of the Nordic Anomaly Zone to earn a great reward... He was truly powerless, already without any margin to act.

Had he returned a bit later, he wouldn’t have maintained that commanding and domineering appearance...

He would have directly shattered into pieces, blood spraying across the sky.

In such a situation, how could he continue to take action? So, after targeting the Imaginary Tree of the Atlantic Anomaly Zone and discovering clues about the Fire Giant King, Gu Mo pondered for a while but didn’t dare to act recklessly.

"Master!"

Miss Tamamo no Mae was both anxious and angry, hastily supporting him while trying to use a Curse Technique to heal his severe injuries. However, the Effect seemed minimal, watching him in unprecedented pain and embarrassment made her heartache and anger uncontrollable.

"There was no need for this! I could also bear it... Master, you’re... you’re too much..."

This time, she was really angry.

This damn dog of a man, at first discussed with her properly, saying he would rely on her Power to jointly sustain a Technique, to further enhance the Possession Fusion, pushing their Attribute Power into a domain even the Gods would fear.

At that time, she was filled with joy, as Master truly needed her Power, needed her help, making her feel the significance of her existence and life value... truly a limited good wife model, geared specifically towards her beloved.

However, when the plan was actually put into motion...

The other party directly utilized his occupied authority to take full control of all their Power at once, bearing all the costs and pain entirely on himself.

The result is the current situation. The reason why Gu Mo’s condition is so severe, aside from the injuries from the annihilation functions left by Zeus and Chaos, the major part stems from the backlash of Sun Sovereignty. The concept and Power of a star were indeed too heavy.

Moreover, the simulated supernova Burst used afterward, to put it simply, was the strongest force attempting mutual destruction as a star.

Even if it wasn’t real, but for Gu Mo, who had incarnated into the will of the Sun at that moment, this symbolic meaning was vastly different; it was truly a jade-and-stone-burn-together kind of move... this was the real heavy blow; otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up injured like this.

After all, the blow of the Star Destroyer Cannon was shrugged off entirely unharmed using the True Name Release of Avalon.

As long as this blow could be withstood, the rest posed no threat.

"Ahahaha... I didn’t expect such a hypnotized state; didn’t even remember such a thing, next time definitely, next time definitely..."

Gu Mo forced a hearty laugh, wiped the fresh blood seeping from his features, and tried to constrain his own mass field, attempting to utilize the Authority of Life to capture and reintegrate his flesh material, but similarly, the Effect wasn’t too good, to use trendy immortal cultivator terms, this truly harmed his "source".

But he cared not in the slightest, his eyes still glimmered with shining light, and unrestrained joy.

Even though the price was heavier than expected, it no longer mattered...

What’s important is, he felt he vaguely touched a sliver of Chaos’s Power essence, seemingly understanding a fragment of that level of truth, this was his greatest achievement.

Although he didn’t defeat Chaos, even though after thwarting its plan this time, it was foreseeable that this supreme biomachine will likely face complete annihilation... since its Energy was completely exhausted, and it merged entirely with the spatial gap, it would never appear again.

For a mechanical body, complete silence and absolute death are not different.

However, Gu Mo exerted his all, merely barely breaking the defense, without truly reducing the opponent’s hit points. And the opponent’s automatic shutdown destiny, according to system judgment, wouldn’t count as him achieving the kill, thus no rewards were given.

However, the battle itself still calculated experience...

Moreover, didn’t the biomachine Zeus get terminated by him? This verdict couldn’t be wrong. Even the falling light spots were properly collected by him.

——These are the greatest harvest.

Leaning quietly against the smooth wall with the barrier of the Giant Tower constraining the Imaginary Tree, Gu Mo consoled the anxious and angry Tamamo a bit, then closed his weary eyes.

He is the real body now... After all, one couldn’t rely on a Clone to shoulder this plan, that would be overly arrogant. Only by exerting 100% of his strength could he have a chance to complete this not-so-difficult but also not-so-easy tactical arrangement, though harvesting abundantly, the cost was indeed somewhat huge.

Although not to the extent of being directly killed and failing the mission to forcibly exit the instance, it wasn’t far off.

These injuries would require some time to heal, even in the instance with the fastest Time Flow Speed, it felt somewhat lengthy...

Currently, all Clones have ceased activity——

Next, the entire self has to enter a period of recuperation.
