Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 49 High-Efficiency Su Zhou
September 16, 2016, 3:17 PM, Su Zhou entered the two-realm teleportation fortress in the Slovenian Mountains of the Europa Union. After verification, he entered the Monster Beast Realm.
September 16, 2016, 3:42 PM, the dangerous and mysterious organization, the Divine Descent Society, six leaders, along with 17 elite transcendents holding third-generation exoskeleton armor, came to attack.
September 16, 2016, 3:46 PM, Su Zhou and the Divine Descent Society officially began to fight.
September 16, 2016, 3:59 PM, the Divine Descent Society, the Silent One, the Manipulator, and the Reborn, three leaders, and nine elite transcendents were killed. The Planter, the Summoner, and the heavily injured Exchanger fled.
September 16, 2016, 4:27 PM, the heavily injured Exchanger was captured by the Concordance Bureau agents who accompanied Professor Su in the pursuit. The Summoner chose to surrender, and the Planter disappeared. According to judgment, he abandoned his human body and merged into the plant will collective of the local Black Forest. In a sense, this was suicide in terms of human identity.
At this point, the main force of the Descent Society was almost completely annihilated.
In the first hour and ten minutes after Su Zhou entered the Monster Beast Realm in the Slovenian Mountains, the Europa Union lost the goal and reason for carrying out a joint operation that had been prepared for nine days.
Whether it was the higher-ups of the Concordance Bureau or the politicians and parliament of the Europa Union, in addition to feeling relieved that the matter was resolved, they would inevitably feel a headache, or even be inexplicably confused, wondering if Raphael or Junier were reporting some nonsensical April Fool's joke, but the truth was just like that.
As for the highly efficient Su Zhou, he naturally didn't have any extra thoughts.
"So tired, so hungry, I really want to eat."
Sitting on the Descent Society's exoskeleton armor that he had beaten into scrap metal, looking around at the Concordance Bureau staff who were cleaning up the final battle site, Su Zhou casually took a bottle of high-energy drink handed to him by a staff member. After taking a sip, he sighed again: "I didn't expect the Descent Society to be so strong. If it weren't for my recent progress in supernatural powers, and the Karma Fire especially being a perfect counter to this kind of wicked person who deserves to be struck by lightning, I don't know how long it would have taken to fight."
Su Zhou's body's resistance to various negative states was certainly stronger than that of ordinary people, but it wasn't like his 100% resistance to curses. At most, after a negative state appeared, he would quickly regenerate back to a complete state.
Before, when facing the negative state package jointly applied by the Summoner and the Exchanger, Su Zhou had actually taken all of it head-on—it was just that none of those negative states lasted for more than a second, and the price was that Su Zhou consumed a large amount of his fat reserves.
"At this rate, my body fat percentage will never exceed fifteen percent. I never thought that gaining weight would be so difficult."
Although this was just a joke, the strength of the Descent Society was indeed very commendable.
"The undying body's super regeneration ability has really saved me countless times. This time, when the Silent One's 'supernatural power' was used, and so many injuries reappeared, I really thought I was going to die."
Although he said things like 'this is all commonplace' with his mouth, the truth was, if Su Zhou didn't use boasting and talking trash to divert his attention at that time, it really hurt so much that he wanted to scream. It was difficult for ordinary people to imagine what it felt like for their entire body to sense all the pain they had ever felt in the most sensitive way.
But Su Zhou felt it.
Through some method, some cost, reappearing all the pain that an existence had ever encountered, this was probably the Silent One, Borneff's, supernatural power. Su Zhou guessed that in the decades he had been the leader of the Descent Society, he had been collecting human pain all over the world, and finally cast that pain into the Demon of Suffering.
That pain was the source power for him to use his supernatural power. As long as a person had painful memories, he could pay the pain power he had stored to reproduce all the injuries on that person, even the pain in the heart counted.
This unreasonable ability was worthy of being the power of the 'Twilight'眷族 (Juan Shu), which leads people to the end. If this power evolved a little bit, I am afraid that all the negative emotions in the world could become the Silent One's power. If Su Zhou didn't have an even stronger cheat, it would be very difficult to fight.
As for the Descent Society leaders who were previously evaluated as trash fish and rotten shrimp, if it weren't for the restraint of the Karma Fire, Su Zhou wouldn't have been able to kill them so quickly one by one—just the Reborn alone would have required him to punch a thousand times in a row to completely kill him, which was very troublesome.
Slightly calculating, if Su Zhou could throw a hundred punches per second, and each time he could kill the Reborn, that would still take a full hundred seconds!
What's more, the Reborn's regeneration also takes time, how can it be as fast as the Karma Fire's fully automatic burn.
After a bottle of high-energy drink, but this thing can't relieve hunger, so Su Zhou gently jumped down from the wreckage of the armor—although there were still remnants of the Descent Society fleeing in the Monster Beast Realm, but those were all trivial matters, which could be left to the local Concordance Bureau or the joint forces. There was no need for him, this great killer, to come forward.
Just now, Raphael said that after returning to Earth later, he would treat him to a meal, and Su Zhou didn't know what politeness was. This time, he must eat to his heart's content.
And speaking of eating, he thought of delicious food, he thought of evil people, he thought of evil souls. Su Zhou's imagination could only leap forward so much at this time. He couldn't help but look at his soul space.
Unfortunately, in order to quickly get rid of Borneff and avoid the other party recovering his strength and escaping, Su Zhou, who was also seriously injured at the time, could only choose to use his evolved Power of the Evil Devouring Demon Lord to turn the evil soul into a soul soldier, attach it to the Extinction Blade, and then burn it with Karma Fire, cutting it in half with one strike.
This was indeed a powerful burst skill unique to Su Zhou, but the price was that only a little bit of residue remained of the evil souls of the Reborn and the Manipulator.
[Reborn · Brown's Evil Soul]
[Those who devour human blood souls will surely be devoured by others. Although retribution is not complete, burning to the end is also the end]
[The remnants of the evil soul burned by the Karma Fire may still have some use]
[Manipulator · Levitt's Evil Soul]
[Those who regard their minds and destiny as playthings in their palms, who can know that they are also just a delicious meal for others? Although retribution is not complete, burning to the end is also the end]
[The remnants of the evil soul burned by the Karma Fire may still have some use]
The Manipulator was the only 'strong enemy' that Su Zhou had not directly fought against, and was theoretically very strong, but she directly installed the power of the world's願力 (yuàn lì) shield and directly扑街 (pū jiē, fall to the street, die). The fact that she could generate evil souls proved that with her power, she was probably only one step away from the leader level, and could even advance to the leader level at any time with her own power, about the same strength as Dao Saint and Number Saint that Su Zhou saw in Tiandu two months ago.
And the Reborn was even more so. Su Zhou had blocked his Naraka Demon Fire, which was a ferocious thing that was not inferior to Karma Fire in terms of lethality. It could burn all feelings of happiness, good memories, and optimistic perceptions. Even the aftershocks could turn an optimist into a patient with severe depression.
Su Zhou couldn't completely block the power of this demon fire. The reason why he was able to resist the erosion of the demon fire before was mainly because at that time, he thought it was so happy to be able to kill so many bad guys that the demon fire burned happiness slower than he was happy.
It's like you quickly select certain heroes in some kind of competitive game and shield nine people as quickly as possible, so that the pain can't catch up with your happiness.
Therefore, before Su Zhou suffered from depression and became more manic and dangerous, the Reborn was hit and ignited by the Karma Fire Gatling. I don't know if it was lucky or tragic—after all, as everyone knows, depression is very likely to be accompanied by mania, and Su Zhou himself can't guarantee what he will become if he suffers from mania.
Maybe he would use the Reborn to light the sky lantern and see how long it could burn with the smallest amount of fire?
As for the evil souls of the other leaders of the Descent Society, it seems that only the evil soul of the Silent One is still complete.
[Silent One · Borneff's Evil Soul]
[A soul that can listen to people's hearts and is wrapped in pain]
[An evil soul with pure demonic power]
[After use, it can greatly increase all-round mental resistance, greatly strengthen soul toughness, and increase resistance to pain]
[It can also be made into the enchantment of 'Shared Suffering' through spiritual forging, attached to all equipment and props]
[Using special techniques for forging, it can be cast into a soul soldier of 'Suffering Punishment · Twilight Balance']
[Using special techniques to reconcile, after taking it, you can obtain the inheritance of 'No Thought Heart']
[People's hearts are full of nothingness and pain. The child who can listen to people's hearts has been immersed in the bottom of this ocean since childhood, never surfacing, witnessing the sea surface]
[Therefore, seeing the light that penetrates deep into the seabed is like seeing a drowning person seeing a straw, tightly grasping it with the strength of not hesitating to pull it all into the seabed]
[You can see peace, and you can also see suffering. The silent water surface is just a mirror]
"No Thought Still Heart... so that's how it is. Because the Silent One was born with a supernatural power similar to telepathy, so he can naturally hear the voices of everyone around him?"
"And after being affected by the Twilight, the power to communicate with other people's hearts has turned into the power to share pain—this guy, from the moment he was born, began to bear the pain of everyone around him, listening to all the sad or self-defeating voices of the heart, so that he himself felt that pain is the truth of everything in the world."
The Evil Devouring Demon Lord supernatural power, which has been strengthened by the True Soul, can already slightly analyze the essence of the evil soul without eating the evil soul. At this time, Su Zhou roughly understood the past of this monster he had killed through his supernatural power. He couldn't help but shake his head: "Borneff, if he had grown up in a happy, beautiful, normal and happy environment, he might have become a good person."
"Born in that era of Ross Country, and encountered those people... Evil, this thing is like a flower. Although it is most eye-catching when it blooms, the soil that allows it to take root is the most deserving of eradication."
Although he said so, Su Zhou also knew very well that the Silent One, who held the 'No Thought Still Heart' and was born with a clear mind, could never become an ordinary person, even if he grew up in the kindest and most beautiful environment.
A guy who is born abnormal is destined to become an anomaly.
Just like himself.
Thinking like this, Su Zhou put the Silent One's evil soul back into the soul space, passed through the space-time gate, returned to Earth, and prepared to wait for Raphael to treat him to a meal—the environment in the Monster Beast Realm was really bad, he didn't care about miasma, but he didn't want to stay any longer.
And at this moment, a high-level official of the Concordance Bureau who Su Zhou had seen on TV and at the United International Conference was walking towards him with a kind-faced young Zheng Country youth.
"Mr. Leffler, you are really late."
Su Zhou joked to the blonde middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and hair that seemed to be fixed with hairspray—he was talking about the fact that it took three minutes after he defeated the Silent One for the reinforcements from the Concordance Bureau to arrive in a hurry.
"Professor Su, we arrived within five minutes. This efficiency has nothing to do with being late."
The Concordance Bureau high-level official named Leffler spoke Chinese quite well. He was quite helpless about Su Zhou's joke: "I can only say that your efficiency is too high—no one would have thought that you could solve the Descent Society group even if you stayed where you were."
"It's all luck, it's all luck."
Su Zhou responded, he looked at the kind Zheng Country youth who was smiling at him, and asked with some doubts: "But, this is..."
"I am Wu Chongwen."
Facing Su Zhou, the youth showed a very perfect, but somewhat overly standard smile. He stretched out his hand, seemingly wanting to shake hands with Su Zhou: "Of course, I haven't used this name for a long time."
"You can use the method you are more familiar with to call me, for example, 'Yan Sheng' (偃圣)."
