Chapter 31: Ascension

Knock, knock!

When his fingertips touched the [Shattered Mirror of Io], Qin Ran's heart beat violently.

Not brutal demonic powers.

It is not the power of original sin.

Nor is it the power of the dawn or the plague that fits and is tenacious.

But......

The power of the Holy Thorn!

Among Qin Ran's five major source powers, this is the most inconspicuous existence that is covered by the Demon Flame and the Original Sin, but it cannot be ignored at all.

Because, whenever this power was used, it meant that Qin Ran was almost in a desperate situation, and he had to rely on passive counterattacks to get a chance to breathe.

Therefore, most of the time, the power of the Holy Thorn was treated by Qin Ran as a half-opened hole card.

And the hole cards are naturally the top priority.

Everyone knows what to do.

Qin Ran sensed the joy of the power of the Holy Thorn.

He watched as the pearl-like [Broken Mirror of Io] vanished into a streamer of light and melted into his body.

The power of the Holy Thorn began to explode almost at the same time.

Almost instantly, Qin Ran took out the [Dark Gold Stone (Small)] and chose to let the 'Gluttony' devour.

Balance!

It is the foundation of Qin Ran's five major source forces.

Otherwise, even if his heart is special, even if he has two hearts, he will not be able to withstand the rampage of the power in it.

And in order to deal with the possible situation, Qin Ran simulated in his mind more than once what to do after all kinds of situations occurred.

It's like this premise of a kind of source power skyrocketing, which is the focus of his simulation.

After all, whether it's the power of demons or the power of original sin, it's always so surprising.

Especially the former.

That kind of arrogant, unruly, and chaotic characteristics were enough to make Qin Ran, who was habitually vigilant, take precautions.

It's just that Qin Ran didn't expect that the way he was supposed to deal with the power of the demon turned into the power of the Holy Thorn.

And this is good news for Qin Ran.

Compared with the demonic power, which will inevitably expand once it skyrockets, the restrained power of the Holy Thorn is undoubtedly much easier to deal with.

Absorb the power of the transformed 'Dark Gold' from the Stone of Dark Gold (Small), and transform into the power of demons, original sin, dawn, and plague.

According to Qin Ran's thoughts, the four source forces gathered around the power of the Holy Thorn.

Almost instantly, an eerie balance was formed again.

Soon, however, this strange balance was shattered by the power of the Holy Thorn, which was still skyrocketing.

Such a situation was also expected by Qin Ran.

He immediately activated the backup plan.

Gluttony was detached from the power of original sin, and he staggered onto the cliff surrounded by the sea.

A 'knight' in heavy armor sat there.

And in front of him.

A translucent shard two people tall was exuding unparalleled power.

"W-This is that?"

Gluttony asked, stammering.

It's not fear, it's not nervousness, it's a stutter caused by habitual swallowing saliva.

"Hmm."

"Unexpected strength and ...... Tune. ”

The 'knight', who sat cross-legged, nodded, his eyes staring directly at the huge fragment with a hint of doubt and surprise in his eyes.

I was puzzled that there was a power similar to him.

Surprisingly, this power is so grand.

'Gluttony' ignored 'Knight''s thoughts.

He was already drooling as he stared at the shard.

"It must be delicious."

After saying that, 'gluttony' pounced.

The 'Knight' did not stand in the way.

He knew that 'gluttony' was in his camp.

In other words, he himself is Qin Ran's strength, so he naturally knows what to do.

An outsider.

A person of his own.

If you devour outsiders, you can be strong.

And those who let outsiders go will perish themselves.

How to choose, do you need to say?

'Gluttony' took a bite on the huge shard, like biting into a filled wafer biscuit, crispy on the outside and sweet and creamy on the inside.

'Gluttony' is a peck on it.

Suddenly, that faint sense of satisfaction filled the bottom of the heart of 'gluttony'.

This made the glutton's eyes light up.

There aren't many foods that can give him a sense of satisfaction.

And once it appears......

Definitely good stuff!

Can't wait, 'gluttony' opens its mouth again.

Click!

Click!

One bite at a time, one bite at a time.

The fragments filled the mouth of the 'Gluttony', and rarely, after the 'Gluttony' chewed it twice, it swallowed the fragments and let them transform into the four major source forces.

Immediately, the four major source forces grew together with the surging power of the Holy Thorn.

Qin Ran stood in place, sensing the changes in his body.

He carefully controls everything.

Don't dare to be careless.

And the captive who had been trampled on the soles of his feet by 'gluttony' before was rolling his eyes.

Backlash?

The other party, who was familiar with some secrets, looked at Qin Ran, who was motionless, and immediately guessed something.

Immediately, a cruel smile appeared on the other party's face, and he was about to get up to complete his task.

Immoral?

Not honorable?

This kind of thing, for the other party, does not exist at all.

Morality, honor is only for the sake of the mission.

If it is contrary to the mission......

To hell with that!

A dagger appeared in the other party's hand, and the other party first tentatively approached Qin Ran, and when he found that Qin Ran was really unconscious, he immediately rushed towards Qin Ran.

And then......

Burst!

The palm of the opponent's hand holding the dagger was cut from the wrist.

The palm of the hand falls straight down.

The other party was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked down, and then, suddenly, found that not only his palm holding the dagger, but also his other palm and legs, I don't know when they also fell to the ground, he was like a loose puppet, and the whole person became scattered.

When?

The other party was shocked.

Then the pain flooded him.

Instinctively, this one is going to shout.

But a palm swept over his neck.

Burst!

The blood that spurted from his chest was replaced by a rushing skull.

Syllable!

Rounds!

The head fell heavily to the ground and rolled into the shadows on the side, and the superior demon shook his palms without looking at the corpse.

Although it is an important captive, since it is a shot at the boss, it is ...... Damn it!

You know, the countless contracts between it and the boss have long been decided, and once something happens to the boss, it has to be finished with it.

Although the current life is a little hard and tiring, it is better than death, right?

Immortality always comes out, doesn't it?

With this belief in mind, the eyes of the superior evil spirits looked at the shadows on both sides, and after a grinning expression appeared on their faces, they disappeared.

And at the moment when the superior evil spirit disappeared.

There was a cutting sound in the shadows on either side.

One by one, the corpses fell to the ground.

An irrepressible gathering of blood.

The scarlet liquid slowly approached Qin Ran along the gap in the ground.

Just when he was about to touch Qin Ran, White Jack appeared out of thin air with a bucket and a mop, and began to dip the mop in water and clean the ground around Qin Ran.

Although I don't have strong strength, I'm hardworking!

As long as I am diligent enough, adults will understand my goodness!

With such a simple idea, White Jack worked harder and harder.

As a result, there was such a strange scene on the battlefield: the 'Frozen Man' and 'Bloody Man' were fighting bloodily in the distance, and in the shadows, corpses were constantly falling to the ground, while a white skeleton was cleaning there.

Faced with this scene, the corners of Similede's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Although he knew when he came that this was definitely not a public outing, he did not expect to encounter such a strange thing.

So what is a skeleton?

A special shape of the home doll?

Or is it some kind of construct he doesn't know about?

But then, Similede's eyes were drawn to the battle in the shadows.

His vision saw through the shadows, and he could clearly see the superior evil spirits flashing back and forth in the air.

The way of fighting, which is in front of you one moment, appears behind you the next, and carries your head with his hand, makes Similede's scalp tingle.

Because, he can see the superior evil spirits.

But he couldn't capture how the superior evil spirit disappeared and appeared.

Assassin!

The ultimate assassin!

Similede, who had given such a definition in his heart, stood in place without hesitation, raised his hands high, and expressed his position.

Everyone has a different position.

They represent their own different choices.

Similede chose to do what he wanted.

But some people will choose to face the difficulties.

Because, they see it as an opportunity.

Hackard, from Princeton, strode out of hiding.

This supercriminal, who fled to Princeton and put down roots there, has all the knowledge that ordinary people know about supercriminals.

Tall, muscular, with a hideous face and covered in weird tattoos.

Without any hesitation, as soon as he appeared, Huck rushed directly towards Qin Ran.

The skeleton?

He didn't pay attention to it at all.

He will crush the other party.

As for the assassin-like guy?

Someone will help him entangle the other.

And he?

Just crush the target!

Roar!

With a loud roar, the already tall and sturdy Hucset instantly turned into a muscular monster with a height of two meters and five, beyond the limits of the human body.

With his head bowed, he half turned his body on his shoulders and elbows, and ran.

Woo!

The huge system brought a heavy sound of breaking the air.

The shoulders and elbows were even more like battering rams, aimed directly at Qin Ran.

White Jack saw the rushing Hackard.

The mops and buckets in its hands smashed into each other in arcs, followed by brooms, dustpans, rags, teapots, tea bowls, chairs, cushions, and so on.

Almost instantly, Hackard was overwhelmed by the clutter.

But, it's useless!

The moment the debris touched Hackard, it was shattered by the tremendous force of the impact.

The soul fire in White Jack's eyes began to beat rapidly.

Unstoppable!

Looking at the rushing Hackard, White Jack instantly recognized this fact.

If it stood in front of Qin Ran, it would definitely be shattered!

Not an adjective.

It's a real piece of flesh and bones!

But......

If it didn't stand in front of Qin Ran, it knew very well what it would face.

Mistrust.

was squeezed out of the increasingly competitive entourage circle.

It doesn't want to be a fringe person.

What it wants is the recognition and appreciation of adults.

Only then can you become strong!

Moreover, even if it is crushed, it will not necessarily die!

There is a reward for paying!

Sit back and enjoy it?

There is no such thing!

Fight!

In an instant, the beating soul fire is certain.

A black carriage appeared in front of Qin Ran, and White Jack jumped into the carriage and shook the reins.

"Drive!"

With a low shout, the carriage rushed towards Hackard like an arrow from a string.

"Stupid!"

A sneer rang out from Hackard's mouth, and instead of retreating, he rushed faster towards the galloping carriage.

Don't say it's just a horse-drawn carriage.

Even if it's a truck, he's able to smash it to pieces.

The carriage approached quickly with Hackard.

Between breaths, there was only a distance of less than one meter.

Not only could White Jack clearly see Hackard's hideous face, but he could even hear the other party's heavy breathing.

In the same way, it also saw the other party's eyes full of murderous intent.

White Jack's heart trembled.

But there is no choice to regret it.

It's already at this time, what do you regret?

"Drive!"

It flicked the reins again, and the carriage went a little faster.

Even if it can't be stopped, it will cause some trouble for the other party!

The carriage crashed into Hackold's torso.

But it didn't make any noise.

Because, Hackard is gone.

Just disappeared in plain sight.

What happened?

Similede's eyes widened to find Huckard.

He knows the other party, and the complete control of muscle ability, under the premise of full firepower, can shake the cannonballs of the chariot.

He was once wanted for robbing the federal treasury, and eventually disappeared from Princeton.

What happened to the other side and what happened to him in Plimpton, Simile did not know.

But the appearance of the other party was enough to attract the attention of Simi Ryde.

Everyone wants to know what's inside Plimpton.

But now the other party just disappeared under his nose.

How did that guy do it?

Simmile looked at White Jack who was driving, and his expression couldn't help but become solemn.

He thought of the scene when White Jack took out the miscellaneous items at random before.

Spatial ability, very rare.

The spatial ability to accommodate powerful transcendents is extremely rare.

If you add the supreme assassin just now, what kind of consequences will the two cooperate with?

More importantly, the two themselves are under the rule of the same person.

Suddenly, Similede began to raise Qin Ran's danger level by two levels.

And just when Similede secretly raised Qin Ran's danger level, Huck continued to charge, even if the scene changed to a library, he did not pause in the slightest.

Hallucination?

Just smash it!

With this thought, Huck saw a little girl in a pink dress with a golden ponytail sobbing not far away, and immediately laughed and charged at a faster speed.

"Crush you!"

Hackard yelled.

He likes to torture and kill this innocent and harmless villain the most.

It always gives him an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"Boom, such an ugly person, so scared."

"Go away!"

The little girl crouched there with her head in her hands, as if waving her hand in fear.

Listening to the sobbing, Hulkard became more and more excited.

The flesh on his face trembled.

And then......

His whole face stiffened!

He looked at the palm that was long in the wind, and in an instant, it grew from a white and tender little hand to the size of a grinding plate, and more importantly, it was blacker, bigger, thicker, and more powerful than his!

Woo!

As if scraping the actual wildness, the palm of his hand hit the charging Hulkard.

Bang!

After a slight stalemate of about a second, Huck flew out like a battered baseball.

Where did you come from, and where did you go back.

He came in a complete body.

Fragmented when returned.

Hucset was confused when he crashed into a row of houses, lying in the rubble, looking up at the sky.

What's going on?

At the end of life.

Hackard was puzzled.

A trace of strange power appeared from Hackard's body at this time, and he borrowed Hackard's body to look at Qin Ran, who was standing still in the distance, his eyes closed.

It just so happened that at this time, Qin Ran opened his eyes.
