My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start-Chapter 557 - Why Aren't You Dead?
Chapter 557 - Why Aren't You Dead?
Beta had truly pushed the boundaries of evolution.
In the planetary fortress, Delta looked at the black fog in the sky and the giants with human faces appearing all over them. She had a conflicted expression on her face.
"Beta has gone crazy. Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to return to his original form after these unlimited evolutions?" One of the elves behind Delta frowned, while the other elf shook his head. "Judging from Beta's current state, he definitely can't control himself. However, that is also good. In the face of unlimited evolution, no matter how strong the enemy is, he won't be a match for Beta. At the very least, Beta will be victorious."
What in the world could compare to the unlimited power of evolution?
There were none.
As the two elves spoke, their eyes subconsciously glanced at King Landhar III beside them. Even now, King Landhar III had a calm appearance. However, in the eyes of the two elves, King Landhar III was most likely pretending to be calm.
Beta had already broken through the upper limit. The longer it dragged on, the stronger he would become. Watson's strength was fixed. No matter what they thought about it, Watson would die. Perhaps King Landhar III was calm on the surface, but he was already thinking about how to escape.
While the two elves were silently cursing, King Landhar III's body began to tremble. That proved their guess.
'A fusion ability that can fuse everything to become stronger, as well as the ability to evolve in an unknown direction, and the ability to continuously become stronger as a pawn of the elven race. Let's see which of those two powers is stronger.'
As King Landhar III pondered, his body could not help but tremble with excitement. He could not wait to see the collision of those two powers.
In the sky...
After Beta threatened Watson, the huge body suddenly appeared in front of Watson. Its huge fist smashed fiercely on Watson's head, like a small mountain crushing an ant.
Before the attack landed, the ground had already sunk several meters. The hurricane formed a circular shape and blew in all directions. Watson subconsciously raised his arm to block it.
Boom!
Beta's fist collided with Watson's arm. An explosive sound erupted. Immediately after that, Beta's fist fell at an even faster speed. It did not stop like a violent storm. His fist landed on Watson's arm, again and again, and it left clusters of black on it. The color spread to Watson's body at an extremely fast speed, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of black blood.
Something was squirming in the black blood. It was pieces of organs with green fur on the surface. They were squirming slowly, and they looked ominous.
"The power of death is the most terrifying power in the world. Everything in the world will decay into dust. Even the Spring of Life and the gods, which symbolize eternity, are the same. Only death is truly eternal! What do you think, Watson? My power of death can cause instant death, and it can curse too. Right now, there are at least a thousand kinds of curses on your body. Those curses won't immediately take your life, but they will make you die in extreme pain."
Beta attacked Watson while the human face on his body spoke, using different voices of men, women, and children to sneer and ridicule Watson.
"Indeed, the power of that curse is very strong. Right now, my entire body, including my soul, is in pain, and even breathing is becoming difficult! However, if I endure it for a while, I can still get used to it. Do you have any other stronger methods to deal with him?" Watson used the divine kingdom of Agares, the God of the Wind and Navigation. The divine kingdom was covered with arrowheads in different directions, deflecting Beta's attack. At the same time, he touched his cheek. Other than his nose, his eyes and ears had started to ooze black blood.
"Hmm."
Watson's body was beginning to decay, but his expression was still calm. So, Beta snorted unhappily. "I'll let you witness my strongest move. After you die, I'll absorb you into my body and make you a part of me. Let's see if you can still say those words."
"I will completely release the death energy. Starlight-tier spell—the End of All Things!"
A cold voice drifted in the sky. Everything within a thousand meters of Beta immediately turned black and white. All the colors were withering. The world within the black and white colors was filled with the aura of death. The earth was melting. The plants on the ground were withering.
If the life of every living creature was a straight line that kept moving forward, and the starting point represented the end of life, which symbolized death, then Beta's move was to allow all living creatures to skip the starting point and immediately enter the endpoint. That was an ability that forced others to be in a state of death. Even the immortal gods would know the concept of death upon being hit by that move.
Even an eternal existence could be killed with the concept of death. In ancient times, gods who had consumed water from the Spring of Life were immortals, but they were still killed. Many of the gods had died under the God of Death's sickle.
At that moment, Watson's body was covered by the black and white world. The colors on his body disappeared, along with his aura of life. Cracks appeared on the surface of his body, and he began to collapse.
"It's over."
Beta panted and escaped from the black and white area. He collapsed on the ground, stirring up smoke and dust.
Releasing that move had also taken a significant amount of his energy. The accumulated power of death in his body was almost completely exhausted, and he could no longer suppress the faces of the undead that appeared on the surface of his body. At that moment, the faces began to wriggle out of his body. It was obvious that it would not be long before his body would break into pieces and turn into the ugly undead.
"I have completed the task that His Majesty had given me. I might receive His Majesty's praise and obtain the title of the strongest assassin, even though I won't be able to live to see that."
The scarlet-patterned mask covering his face cracked open, and then the crack grew bigger. The mask broke into two pieces, revealing Beta's appearance. At that moment, Beta's face had already changed from the pride and despotic youth to a wrinkled and aged face. His white hair drifted along his face.
The End of All Things spell would give all living creatures in the black and white area the concept of death, including himself. His own life had also come to an end after releasing that skill.
At the last moment of his life, the chaotic memories of the deceased souls that he had absorbed did not appear in his mind. Instead, it was a memory from when he was young.
He had lost his parents when he was very young. At that time, he had been bullied by the other elves. The Elven King had taken a fancy to his talent and handed him to Elder Daphne to train to become a skilled assassin. After becoming an assassin, not only did he have to participate in strict training, but he also had to carry out dangerous missions. He endured all of those. In just a few years, he became the second-best assassin in the Elven Kingdom. Elder Daphne even praised him.
After obtaining the ranking, the first thing he did was dismember all the elves who had bullied him in the past in a cruel way. The higher-ups who knew about that matter only severely punished him; they did not execute him. That made him understand the benefits of power. No one would bully him if he were powerful. Even if he killed someone else, they would forgive him.
Therefore, he needed more power, so much that he could do whatever he wanted without being bullied by anyone. Then, he would use that power to repay the Elven King. After all, the Elven King was the first person to discover his talent.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Beta had already begun to imagine the Elven King praising his achievements after learning about that.
At that moment...
The black and white world formed by the End of All Things spell had collapsed. Watson, who should have turned into ashes, walked out unscathed. He shook his head and muttered to himself, "What a terrifying attack. If I hadn't used the fusion system to fuse the attack, I would have died."
"What's going on? Why aren't you dead?"
Beta stared at Watson.. The beautiful fantasy that surfaced in his mind was mercilessly shattered, and his eyes widened.
