Diablo is confident that he can change his fortunes.

Because of his scarlet king's stand-in ability, in a sense, it is a divine power to change fate.

The "Epitaph" can see the picture of the next ten seconds, which is actually revealing the fate of Diablo in the next ten seconds.

As long as he sees that the fate of the next ten seconds is not in his favor, Diablo can directly use "time cut" to delete this unfavorable future, so as to change the fate that has already been written.

Every time you use "Epitaph" and "Time Cut", you are actually changing your fate.

Diablo believes that he will not be bound by the so-called fate, which was and is now:

"The Crimson King—"

"Epitaph!"

Because dialogue and thinking basically do not take time in this world, Diablo actually did not give Li Qing any respite.

At the moment when Li Qing was trampled under the feet of the Crimson King, the picture of the next ten seconds had already appeared in front of Diablo's eyes.

First second:

The Crimson King raised his arm as a knife, gathered all his strength, and blasted straight towards Li Qing's head.

The red and white arm turned into a bolt of lightning in midair, a gust of wind, and a cold-lit blade.

Facing this "Crimson King Guillotine", Li Qing suddenly slapped the ground lightly with his palm: "The sky is thundering!" ”

A visible white shock wave erupted from the ground and spread outward like ripples on the surface of the water.

However, it is a shockwave, but it is actually more like a soft white light.

The light didn't cause any damage to the surrounding objects, but only shook the bodies of the Crimson King and Diablo as it pierced their bodies.

The damage caused by this shock and vibration was not very high, but what was really surprising was what happened next:

After his body was hit by that shockwave, a white light suddenly flashed around Li Qing's body again.

Second 2:

And the moment this light lit up, the speed of the Crimson King slowed down.

It seems that because of Li Qing's "stand-in ability", it is like a video character with 0.5 times slow play, and his movements and eyes have doubled down.

The Crimson King is stuck in a 1-second "slow motion" state, and the high-speed hand knife, which was too fast to be seen, becomes sluggish and easy to dodge.

Taking this opportunity, Li Qing flashed to the side violently.

Because the palm of his hand was still nailed to the ground by the steel bar, and his arm was still stepped on by the Crimson King, Li Qing's dodge with all his might actually only twisted his head slightly to the side.

The vital point of the head was barely saved, but the right arm and shoulder were still exposed to the Crimson King's attack.

And although the speed of the Crimson King was slowed down by Li Qing's "stand-in ability", somehow, the power of the hand knife was not reduced in the slightest because of the slowdown.

Like a hot knife cutting through butter, the Scarlet King's palm split Li Qing's shoulder without hindrance.

Third second:

Something unexpected happened.

After the hand knife split his shoulder, a stream of hot blood shot out of Li Qing's wound.

Bleeding occurs when injured, which is normal for ordinary people.

However, it is very unexpected for Li Qing, who can heal his injuries in an instant and maintain his body integrity forever in the digital mode.

And Diablo only noticed from the picture at this time that the blood bar on Li Qing's head was missing.

Yes...

He himself dismantled the data-based model.

Fourth second:

Li Qing lifted the data and withstood the hand knife of the Crimson King with his body.

The knife sliced open his right shoulder without hindrance, removing his entire right arm and his right shoulder.

Scarlet blood gushed out, and Senbai's stubble was exposed, just by looking at the picture, he knew what kind of pain Li Qing would feel at this time.

But that's what he wants.

Like a lizard with a severed tail, he unloaded his right arm, which had been pinned to the ground by steel with the hand knife of the Crimson King.

Before the crimson king's castrated hand knife could be pulled out of the pool of blood, Li Qing had already left his unloaded right arm and rolled out nimbly to the side.

Fifth second:

The Crimson King hurriedly adjusted his body and swooped towards Li Qing, who had escaped not far away.

At the same time, Diablo, as the ontology, is inevitably a little lax.

Because Li Qing's only right arm that could release the Tianyin Wave Light Cluster had been unloaded by Qi Gen, even if he escaped a few meters away in this decisive way, there was no way to change the overall situation.

Sixth second:

The Crimson King soon caught up with Li Qing.

Li Qing was covered in blood, and there was nowhere to escape, so he had to grit his teeth and turn around to face the attack.

At this time, he turned on digitalization again.

The physical injuries were reflected in the amount of blood of the digitized body, and when the blood bar appeared on the top of Li Qing's head again, the health displayed on it was less than fifty percent.

The joy of victory on Diablo's face welled up, and the Crimson King swooped down like a tiger from the mountain.

The seventh second:

Without warning at all, without warning...

The Scarlet King's chest suddenly opened a gaping hole.

The hole was opened in the vital part of the heart, and when the injury was restored to Diablo's body at the same time, Diablo's chest immediately spurted out large swaths of bright red arterial blood like a high-pressure water gun that opened the valve.

Eighth second:

He collapsed on the cold ground, suffocating from the blood gushing up his throat.

Consciousness blurred in pain, and the Scarlet King vanished into nothingness.

At this moment, Diablo could even clearly see the frightened, dazed and frightened expression on his face eight seconds later.

And Li Qing is very cautious, even if he successfully knocks out Diablo, he will not stay here for a second longer.

He didn't even check Diablo's injury, he immediately turned around and blasted a celestial sound wave into the distance, and he had the posture of flying directly into the sky.

The ninth second:

There's no ninth second, no tenth.

Diablo's life has come to an end, and he won't be able to come out for a second.

......

"This?!"

Diablo suddenly woke up from the vision of the future.

The way fate gave him death was too bizarre and too sudden, and the sudden picture made his breath become heavy and cold sweat oozed from his forehead, making him subconsciously cover his chest and find his still beating heart.

"Even the Scarlet King's tough body is unstoppable, and that bald man is..."

"Is this still the way to attack?"

Recalling the scene he had just seen, Diablo couldn't help but feel a sudden moment:

The Crimson King has a strong body that matches its strength, and can even bounce bullets with his body if he blocks it with all his might.

But in the face of Li Qing's treacherous attack, its body was easily pierced like a fragile and thin piece of paper.

It's not just that...

Diablo couldn't help but recall the white light released by Li Qing in the first second.

As long as it is affected by that light, whether it is the main body or the stand-in, it will enter a terrible state of "slow release".

"How much power does this guy still have?"

"In less than half a day, has he grown to such a point?"

Diablo felt a deep fear in his heart.

Thereupon...

Barely hesitating, Diablo ordered the Crimson King to raise his arm and slash with all his might, as the future image showed.

Yes, even after seeing such a cruel future, he did not change the established attack strategy.

Because after years of practice, Diablo has understood:

It may be that there are ghosts and gods in the dark, no matter how hard he tries and how he tries, the future will be realized as seen in the "epitaph".

For example...

Even if Diablo doesn't attack with a knife, Li Qing can take out a dagger and break his arm to survive.

Or, even if he asks the Crimson King to switch targets to attack Li Qing's left arm, he may end up hitting Li Qing's right arm for a comical reason like "slipping under his feet".

Li Qing will still escape, he will still die.

No matter how Diablo changes his way of acting when he sees the future, the predetermined fate will happen to him as he sees the future with his "epitaph".

Because, fate cannot be changed by the power of mortals.

The only thing that can change this future, this fate, is the Scarlet King's "time cut" that overrides the rules.

"That's right, the fate that Rolling Stone foresaw was right."

"I am indeed a 'dying man', and fate has shown me to die."

"But so what?"

Diablo watched with bated breath at this familiar scene:

"Let's let the future go on as fate has written..."

"I will erase that fate with time!"
