Chapter 39: Winter Goes to Spring, Flowers Bloom (Part 6)
"You must be surprised, right?"
Nalan Twilight walked over slowly, holding Yuxiang's head with both hands. It wasn't until her vision slowly rose that she saw her broken, bloody body, and realized that she had been dismantled.
"No wonder," she thought to herself, "there is no feeling at all from the neck down." β
"'Why didn't this nirvana work for me, it worked very well last time?'
Nalan Yu placed Yuxiang's head on a charred stump next to him, burned by Fang Cai's magic cannon. Then he crouched down, his eyes at her eye level, hugged his knees, and smiled:
"It's a pity, it's a pity, the same trick won't work twice against the Saint Seiya. β
Yuka moved her lips slightly, obviously trying to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. Right now, she only has one head left, and no matter what she says, it doesn't seem to be very convincing.
Then she saw Nalan Twilight stand up, and in front of her, unbutton his black shirt one by one, revealing to her the well-defined chest and abdomen that had been drawn by diligence and self-discipline. He pierced the skin of his chest with the tip of a little finger, and the scalpel gently slashed from top to bottom, from the chest to the navel, and then cut a hole between his chest and abdomen that was large enough to accommodate a volleyball. He pulled the hole to the sides with both hands, showing Yuka his abdomen, which was empty.
The heart, lungs, stomach, liver, gall bladder, kidneys, all the internal organs used for life are nowhere to be found, only a small flower composed of flesh and blood, blooming lonely.
Yuuka's eyes widened, barely able to believe what she was seeing. Then, she saw Nalan Twilight, pointed to his own head with her index finger, and said with a smile:
"Of course, there's here, too, it's empty. β
"In fact, if you're lucky enough to punch me, you'll find out," he continued, "that I'm unusually lightweight, and there's a lot of air under my skin." Then you'll realize that you're fighting an empty shell. β
"Of course, I won't let you hit. He added.
"Deep underground in the Red Devil Pavilion, there is a small room that has been completely sealed. The walls are thickened with steel plates, and the cracks and keyholes of the doors are filled with lead water, and then a layer of lime is pasted, painted, and wallpapered to completely integrate into the walls and erase all traces of existence. β
"In that room, there was a drop of my blood. β
"Originally, it was only used as a shelter in case of emergency. When the pigeon is dying, it fights, and teleports back instantly, you know. β
"But just now, the moment you appeared, I suddenly thought of another, more interesting usage. β
"Since my 'connection' ability can transcend space and unite two points separated by 108,000 miles, why don't I store all my internal organs, including my brain, in a sealed safe room, and then rely on remote connections to manipulate my body? β
"So I did it, and at that moment, the moment you declared war on me, I completed the separation of myself, and sent all the internal organs back to the Red Devil Pavilion alone, and established a cross-space connection channel for transporting blood and nerve signals. β
Nalan said as he gestured to assist in the explanation. He put his left hand together with the index finger of his right hand and said:
"It's like the internet, and more specifically, like a VPS, where you use a local computer to remotely manipulate the server. I don't know if you can understand this analogy. β
"No," Yuka said lightly, "but, how you did it, I already know very well. β
"That couldn't be better!"
Nalan smoothed the opening on his chest and abdomen and closed it, but it didn't heal itβthe battle wasn't officially over, and he was still following the rules. He rebuttoned the buttons, and then, politely, said:
"So, Miss Yuka, can you throw in the towel?"
The situation is clear.
Under the premise of "not being able to regenerate herself", Yuka at this time has "lost the ability to fight", and according to the agreed rules, she has already lost. Of course, Nalan Yu doesn't have the ability to kill Yuka with one blow, let alone one blow, in any case, he doesn't have the ability to kill Yuka Kazami, he is not qualified enough. But on the premise of prohibiting regeneration, he has a way to make Yuka lose the ability to fight with one blow.
Up to this point, everything was within his plan, not an inch worse.
Luckily, at this point, he has completed his plan perfectly.
Unfortunately, his plan has come to an end and there is no more "plan".
That is, from this moment on, everything is outside his plan.
So, when Yuka spoke, he showed a consternation that had never appeared before on his unfazed smiling face.
"But I refused. Youxiang said clearly, "I like to say 'no' to those who think they are higher than me!"
"Huh?" Nalan Yu's right eyelid jumped a few times, "You're saying that you still have a way to reverse it?"
"Come then!" he exclaimed, spreading his hands, a little arrogantly:
"Hurry up and play this card that you have hidden in your hand! If you can still lose, then I will admit it!"
Different from the conceit shown on the surface, his heart, hidden deep in the underground of the Red Devil Pavilion, was beating faster and faster at this time, and the more he beat, the more bottomless he became. He smacked his chest twice with his fist, and cheered himself up in his heart:
"I can't turn it over, even if it's a good fragrance in this case, it's impossible to turn it around! Why should I be afraid? Why? Please, this guy only has one head left! Even if she is so capable, she only has one head, and what can she do with this head? Why should I be afraid of this head?"
Why are you afraid? Isn't it all too clear why?
In the depths of his heart, Nalan Yu understands, but he just doesn't want to admit it.
Fighting an opponent like Kazami Yuka is like climbing to the top of a murderous peak like Chogori's Peak, the last few hundred meters.
You've come a long way, the cold, the lack of oxygen, and the exhaustion almost crush your fragile spirit, and every step it takes seems like a year. You can't open your eyelids, but you know that once you're asleep, you'll never wake up again. So you're still fighting, not for the honor and ideals agreed upon before going up the mountain, but to avoid being caught by the Grim Reaper behind you.
There is only one chance, you have to go forward and not look back. Either you defeat the mountain, or the mountain buries you, either win or die.
Nalan Twilight was almost at the top, and he had already touched the stone at the top of the mountain with one hand. At this time, Shan said to him, "I'm sorry, but you haven't been there yet." So he slipped a step from the top of the mountain and fell into the abyss of despair. The physical strength is exhausted, and the oxygen is not enough, a stone's throw away, the nine-fold sky.
He has exhausted his chances, and next, he has no choice but to die.
He felt that the soil was rolling, the air was boiling, and some huge, unimaginable force was sprouting from the "environment" around him.
"You are worthy of respect, Nalan Twilight. He heard Yuka say, "Step by step, the mechanism is exhausted, almost, you have reached the peak that mortals can achieve, right?, even though you are a vampire, in my eyes, you are similar to 'them'......"
"You are flesh and blood, life and death, mortal. β
"But I'm not. β
"You cut off my 'body' hands and feet, and I lost the ability to continue fighting. It's excellent, no, remarkable. In fact, no one knows what it means to push me to this point. Those who tried to do so eventually died, and those lucky enough to do so died. β
"Man created 'God' according to his own 'respect', and created 'demons' according to his own 'fear'. The essence of both is the collection of wills and the embodiment of virtual images. From this point of view, the 'demon' is just the other side of the 'god', just like light and shadow, which are the inside and the outside of each other. β
"For example, the fox demon is a monster transformed into a fox, and its human form is the 'incarnation', and the fox form is the 'body', which represents the 'will' of the fox. β
"And I, I'm a youkai too. β
"I am a monster of 'nature', born out of the 'fear' of the great and unpredictable forces of nature. This human form is the 'incarnation', and all things in nature, every flower and tree, are my 'essence'. β
"What I represent is the 'will' of nature itself. β
"You can't defeat the land beneath your feet, Nalan Twilight, and even if you dye it red with blood, it will only be a new nourishment for it. β
"Well, I heard what you said. Nalan clenched his fists and took a fighting stance. At this point, he was relieved - there was nothing to fear.
"Come," he said, "take your 'whole world' and press it over my head!"
When the fragments of Yuka's body began to "sprout", he was ready to face the wrath of the planet and its irresistible power.
