Chapter 32: Transition
“… This lottery is poisonous! ”
After deciding the opponent for the next battle by drawing lots, Yu Sheng's face suddenly darkened... Of the remaining fifteen, he had the misfortune of drawing a speedster once again.
This is the last opponent he wants to face at the moment... Because Yu Sheng knows very well that once the other party goes all out, then judging from the current situation, the outcome of this battle may be exactly the same as the previous one.
After all, relative to the rest of your life ... Or, to be more precise, for almost all of the competitors in Division 4, Pietro's speed has reached the point where he is almost completely unmanageable.
If you can't even capture the opponent's actions, what capital do you have to fight the opponent?
However, if you really want to win the championship in Division 4, this true speedster is a mountain that you will have to climb for the rest of your life.
"So, what the hell is going to do... Do you want to find a way to enhance the speed that you have manifested? ”
In the next second, Yu Sheng denied this idea... He knew very well in his heart that even if he tried his best to upgrade his speed ability, I am afraid that he would still not be able to keep up with the speed of the other party - his illusion manifestation could indeed attach almost all forms of self-enhancement abilities to him at present, but the consumption of using this embodied ability was much greater than that of those who had awakened the same ability themselves, and the effect would be worse.
For example, the ability awakened by Ability A is rapid regeneration, and he needs the power of X to regenerate an arm, so if he wants to do the same thing through fantasy embodiment for the rest of his life, he needs to pay 2X or even 3X of the power of ability (this ratio changes with the strength of the ability to be manifested for the rest of his life, the stronger the proportional coefficient)... If he had only used the same amount of energy, there was a good chance that the arm he had regenerated would have been dysplasia, or that it was missing some parts.
Therefore, when it is known that the opponent's ability level is definitely higher than his own, it is a very stupid thing to forcibly manifest the ability to be exactly the same as the opponent's to be tough.
What's more, even if he could really burst out with a speed comparable to Pietro in his best efforts for the rest of his life, he wouldn't dare to do so in actual combat, for the simple reason - his body couldn't bear the load of that speed.
Before he was promoted to the strong level, he could only use the speed mode for a short period of no more than ten seconds due to his physical fitness, and now, with the physique enhancement effect brought by the upgrade, he can barely withstand the pressure of the previous level of speed for a long time, but if he continues to accelerate... Wait a minute.
Thinking about the rest of my life here, I suddenly found a problem.
How did the other speedsters solve the above problems?
If you talk about physical strength alone, in this respect, you still think you are stronger than Pietro for the rest of your life... After all, he can also manifest abilities like petrified skins to increase his defense.
However, even so, under the load generated by high-speed movement, I still felt great pressure for the rest of my life... But Pietro, who is theoretically more fragile than him, seems to be completely immune to air resistance?
In the next second, Yu Sheng thought of something—the pair of 'suppressors' on Pietro's wrists.
"If that's the case... Well, I'm not out of the question. ”
He didn't know if his guess was right, but now for the rest of his life he could only hope that he had guessed correctly.
…
In the face of the death that seemed to be determined to stop him, Famine also flashed a trace of determination on his face after a short hesitation, and gently flicked the balance in his hand...
The next moment, a pale yellow curtain of light spread out from the body of the thin girl, as if it was about to wrap up the entire positive area.
And those passers-by who happened to be here at this time were also a little surprised when they saw this, and their eyes focused on this girl who dared to violate the ban and use a wide range of abilities in public without authorization... As everyone knows, he has lost his last chance to escape.
After being covered by a pale yellow light curtain, everyone in the area collapsed to the ground... Under the influence of the famine, their vitality has turned into food for the former, constantly making her stronger.
"Do you think that with the power gained by squeezing these ordinary people dry, you can defeat me?"
Although she was very aware of the growth of the opponent's abilities, the little girl named Death still watched the opponent continue to grow stronger through 'eating', as if she was not worried that she would be at a disadvantage in the next battle.
"I want to try."
After the 'eating' was finished, Famine, who looked a little plump, licked his lips unsatisfied, and looked at the little girl with strange eyes, as if... It's like a delicious cake.
"My stupid sister... Hopefully, you won't regret making this stupid choice in the future. ”
With a soft sigh, the little girl's figure quickly faded under the gaze of Famine, and then disappeared in place.
The next moment, a pitch-black scythe appeared behind Famine, its blade quickly slashing down towards the latter's shoulder.
At the same time, the thin girl who had gained a little weight naturally noticed the slash from behind, but she found that she had no time to dodge the knife, so she could only twist her body slightly, trying to minimize the injury.
However, just as the edge of the scythe is about to make intimate contact with the shoulder of the thin girl...
'Ding'!
A white arrow from nowhere landed on the blade of the black scythe, causing it to shift slightly, and did not cut off Famine's arm as the little girl had planned.
"Plague, you are looking for death!"
Seeing that the blow she had been accumulating for a long time was completely missed by this chaotic arrow, the little girl snorted in the direction where the arrow flew while swinging her sickle to resist the famine counterattack that finally reflected it.
"It's two to one now, and it's not certain who will die in the end..."
The handsome young man in white no longer hid his whereabouts at this moment, swaggering with a longbow and wearing a gorgeous crown slowly walked out of the shadows, exuding a strange momentum on his body.
"What's more, even if it's just me, I should be able to defeat you easily enough, my dear little sister of death."
After realizing that the other party should have come prepared, the little girl's heart also swelled with a wave of unease... Although theoretically she is far superior to the other 'older siblings', she can easily defeat any of them, even... All three of them together may not be her opponent!
And the plague in front of him, as the longest of the four of them, could not be unaware of this.
But he's still here... And claimed to be able to defeat himself on his own?
