I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 14 Let the Buddha Mother come!

Seeing that Cao Yu refused, An Li reminded him:
"There's no need to hide it, we're the same."

"?"

Cao Yu said, bewildered:
"Are you misunderstanding something? I'm not interested in piecing together corpses."

"Oh, then we'll talk about it next time."

An Li did not persist.

Anyone who frequently dismembers bodies knows that when someone outside the medical field can dismember a human body with a cold gaze, a calm expression, and swift movements, without any psychological burden afterward... he is either used to it or has psychological problems.

An Li guessed that Cao Yu was the latter.

The other person rejected her, probably because they were shy, or because their good friends were present and they didn't want to expose this niche hobby... It's okay, they can do what they love together when they have a chance to be alone together in the future.

"What does she mean?" Chen Ran nudged Cao Yu.

Cao Yu shook his head: "I don't know."

He recalled a rumor—that to awaken superpowers, one needs a certain adaptability. This adaptability might be related to factors such as mental talent and psychological state.

Although he didn't know exactly what An Li's superpower was, one of its effects was to create corpse puppets... Could this guy be a pervert?

While Cao Yu was inwardly complaining, An Li had already finished refining the three corpse puppets.

Without the hindrance of the "Eternal Wound Curse," the shattered corpse pieces successfully reassembled into a human form, stood up, and exuded a chilling aura, reminding Cao Yu of the legends of corpse driving in western Hunan.

The three corpse puppets each presented a bizarre posture: one was tall and broad, one was short and thin, and the last one had arms like long, thin noodles.

An Li drank the mental recovery potion and explained:

"The wide, flat corpse puppet moves slowly, but it gathers all the blood from the three corpses and uses a 'blood shield' that is defensively specialized, stronger than the one Du Ruo used before."

The dwarven corpse golem is the fastest and suitable for frontal harassment attacks, but it has low defense.

The long-armed corpse puppet's arms can restrain enemies, but the rest of its body is relatively vulnerable.

"..." Chen Ran swallowed hard: "Your superpower... is so evil! It can even retain the abilities and characteristics of people from their previous lives?"

"Not only that... change your physical form, sacrifice other attributes, and specialize in a single attribute?" Cao Yu narrowed his eyes: "This ability is not simple."

Evil is indeed evil.

It's impressive, really impressive.

This superpower's serial number is probably quite high.

“The methods are ready,” An Li said. “We should prepare the battlefield.”

“I’ve already made a choice about the venue,” Cao Yu said. “Let’s go.”

……

7:00 in the evening.

Inside a large gym on the first floor of a shopping mall, An Li manipulated three corpse puppets to lie on the ground, disguised as corpses.

This is the battleground chosen by the three.

If "Tiouyuan" could fly, it could use the ceiling to block the opponent's flight advantage in indoor battles.

If we can't beat them... there's a cat cafe not far from the gym, but the owner has already run away, leaving behind more than twenty cats.

Cao Yu said to Annie, "The sun is about to set, let's begin."

Annie, sitting on the yoga mat, nodded and began to murmur:
“Hābhaṭa, Rikatākī, Nagāgā…”

After reciting the Rebirth Mantra backwards, she picked up a fruit knife she had bought for free from the supermarket and stabbed it into her carotid artery.

She chose to bleed to death as her method of suicide.

She had already pasted the Buddha Mother's image sticker on her back.

She has also prepared herself mentally.

Therefore, she stabbed cleanly and decisively, without any hesitation.

Soon, her blood gushed from the wound, splashing more than a meter away and covering the ground.

Chen Ran, who was watching from the side, immediately held his breath.

An Li felt a sharp pain in her neck, accompanied by a large amount of blood flowing out. She became dizzy, her vision blurred, and she had difficulty breathing.

Time passed by minute by minute.

She felt like she was dying, and began to experience hemorrhagic shock. Her face turned pale, and her limbs became cold and clammy. With a "thud," she collapsed onto the yoga mat, her hoodie soaked with blood.

"Will it really work?" Chen Ran was filled with worry.

As soon as he finished speaking,

An Li suddenly pushed herself up with both hands and sat up again.

Her eyes were cold and clear as she spoke calmly:
"It's done."

Her wound had stopped bleeding, her complexion had returned to normal, and her aura had become deeper, giving off an immense pressure.

Upon seeing this, Cao didn't hesitate. He started reciting the Rebirth Mantra backwards, and then he slashed his own carotid artery...

……

Fifteen minutes later, all three of them completed the Buddha Mother ritual.

With the strength of a bear, the speed of a leopard, and the eyesight of an eagle, Cao Yu felt his physical abilities undergo a leap forward, comparable to a "corpse ghost" after absorbing a large amount of blood.

His mental power was so strong that it was almost tangible, like his arms and legs, which he could directly sense and control with instinct.

It was as if they had awakened telekinesis.

Cao Yu knew this was an illusion, because when he tried to unleash his spiritual power, he couldn't even stir up a speck of dust.

He wasn't disappointed.

With strong mental support, it meant that from this moment on, he could use his superpowers at will... No, that's not all.

Cao Yu grabbed the barbell bar next to him. It was a 20-kilogram metal bar. He held one end and swung it with extraordinary ease, as if he were swinging a wooden stick.

He activated the "Immortal-Slaying Spell," attaching it to the bar and swinging it at the dumbbell on his left, instantly slicing it in two—indestructible and unbreakable. Once his mental strength reached a point where it could be projected outwards, his superpowers extended to the weapons in his hands.

The attack range has undoubtedly been extended.

"So big! Cao Yu, it's so big! My strength has become so great!"

Chen Ran's voice brought Cao Yu back to his senses.

He turned his head and saw Chen Ran punch the air, creating a huge explosion that formed a visible shockwave that shattered the floor-to-ceiling window seven or eight meters away.

If such a punch were to land directly on a person, the impact wouldn't be as dramatic as tearing apart a Japanese soldier; it would likely blast the person into a bloody mist.

"So big?" Cao Yu asked in surprise, "What about its spirit? Has it been boosted?"

"My mental state has also improved," Chen Ran replied. "All the auditory hallucinations I was experiencing have disappeared."

The stronger one's spirit, the stronger one's resistance to mental interference.

It's normal for auditory hallucinations to disappear, and Cao Yu was no exception.

They will most likely not experience hallucinations again.

Chen Ran continued:
"However, the increase in mental strength is not as great as the increase in physical strength."

“It’s the other way around for me,” An Li said, looking at Cao Yu. “What about you?”

“Same as you,” Cao Yu said. “They should have superpowers, mainly mental amplification. Those without should mainly have physical amplification.”

"So humane?" Chen Ran was a little surprised.

"After all, it's a method to clear the game, so there's bound to be some balance involved," Cao Yu speculated. "There's no point in giving players without superpowers a huge boost to their mental strength."

“We didn’t actually die or become ghosts just now,” An Li said. “We were amplified while in a near-death state, so we didn’t even need to go through the resurrection process.”

All three understood that this should be a privilege reserved for the player.

This dungeon challenge isn't actually meant to kill the players.

All you need to do is find the real way to pass the level, muster the courage to do it, and you will get everything.

"Have you sensed the location of any other ghosts?" Cao Yu asked.

"I sensed it," Chen Ran replied, "It's like having a full-map cheat."

"A ghost is rapidly approaching us!" An Li became alert.

The sun had completely set, and it was dark and dimly lit outside the gym.

It was 7:25 PM.

All three realized that "Tiouyuan" had come to claim their lives!
Looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows toward the west side of the street, they saw a massive, dark shadow that stretched across the concrete road, approaching at an incredible speed.

As they got closer, with the help of the streetlights, they finally saw its true form.

It was a mass of wriggling red hair, and through the gaps in the hair, you could barely make out two human figures in the middle.

These red hairs extended from one of the humanoid figures, each over ten meters long, writhing on the ground and in the air like snakes, causing Cao Yu and the other two to feel both psychologically and physically uncomfortable.

"Hehe... Little mice, I've found you."

A hoarse yet shrill voice came from the massive ball of hair and reached the ears of Cao Yu and the other two.

Immediately afterwards, red hairs lashed out like whips, each one as sharp as a sword, slicing through glass, breaking through walls, and shattering ceilings and floors... Boom! The gym was completely destroyed, and part of the mall was also affected, collapsing amidst the roar.

"Holy crap..." Chen Ran was so shocked he almost blurted out a curse.

One hit and the building explodes!?

She quickly and vigorously waved the huge staff in her hand.

The greater the force with which this "flaming staff" is swung, the stronger the heat generated.

With her current strength, each swing of her weapon produces a directional explosion, fully reaching the power limit of this E-attack item.

All that could be seen was a continuous explosion of fire and impact, shattering and blasting away all the debris falling from the buildings above.

At the same time, it also lifted and burned the red hairs that were attacking Chen Ran.

On the other side, An Li protected herself with the force field of the "Dust-Free Golden Ring". This D-grade item was brought to its full effect by her powerful mental strength, and a surge of repulsive force was generated, repelling all the falling wall fragments and those long red hairs.

She simultaneously controlled three corpse puppets to move silently, circling around to other directions to approach "Tiouyuan" in an attempt to launch a sneak attack.

Cao Yu went even further, seemingly abandoning all acting and completely ignoring the issue of mental exhaustion. He fully unleashed his superpowers, covering his entire body with the "Immortal-Slaying Curse" and forging himself into an invincible weapon.

A piece of wall hit him and shattered.

The ceiling collapsed on his head and cracked.

The long red hair was pulled over and broke.

It is indestructible and can break anything.

A corner of the mall collapsed, and apart from Chen Ran being somewhat covered in dust, An Li and Cao Yu didn't even have their clothes torn.

Upon seeing this, "Tiouyuan" stopped laughing and his face became contorted.

Her long hair was twisted together like hemp rope, intertwining and merging, eventually transforming into something resembling nine giant pythons.

This action also removed the concealment effect of the hairball. Cao Yu and the other two could then see the human figure next to "Ti Ou Yuan" clearly... It was Song Shi'an! Apart from his slightly translucent body and dazed eyes, he was almost exactly the same as the Song Shi'an they had seen in the photograph before.

Song Shi'an was "Liu Ou Yuan"... no, it should be called Xia He. A red hair on Xia He's body extended out, wrapped around Song Shi'an, lifted him up, and suspended him beside her.

So that's what "提偶怨" means... Cao Yu and the other two understood.

The nine giant pythons that Xia He had conjured began to writhe, and her roars, filled with resentment, seemed to tear at one's eardrums:

"You three rats...! I'm going to skin you alive and tear your flesh off piece by piece!!"

Cao Yu, who was standing directly opposite Xia He, was the first to be attacked by the giant python. The terrifying force of the attack distorted the atmosphere, and the shockwave blew away all the dust and smoke.

A shadow loomed over Cao Yu, but he remained calm and composed, gripping one end of the barbell and slashing it out like a sharp sword.

The pole, over two meters long, instantly tore through the air, cleaved the giant python in two, and shattered everything in its path.

"It's just a supernatural creature, yet it dares to spout such nonsense. Let the Buddha Mother come!" Cao Yu's voice was cold.
