"Oh, so you collectives call yourselves Zenong. It does sound like the name of a demon king, which is quite fitting for you paradoxical collectives that grow by absorbing all kinds of negative emotions."

Just as Zenong was laughing strangely, a magnetic voice came, and at the same time, a figure in emerald green slowly walked in.

"Damn lackey of the World Consciousness, how did you find me? I deliberately concealed my aura and transformed so many Apostles. How could you get to me so quickly? As a human, didn't you help your fellow humans deal with the Apostles at all?"

"No, that's not right. The number of apostles I created is constantly decreasing. What exactly have you, a lackey of world consciousness, done?"

Zenong looked at Chen Xuan, who was wearing the 01 armor, and asked incredulously.

Although he guessed that Chen Xuan would definitely find him, after all, the Internet in the human world makes information transmission extremely fast, and there are also cameras that are ubiquitous in the city and can monitor various places at any time. It was only a matter of time before his location was exposed. That's why he changed so many times, in order to use these apostles to keep Chen Xuan occupied.

After all, judging from Chen Xuan's actions in forcing players to log out of SAO, Chen Xuan is clearly not a cold-blooded and ruthless person. When a large number of apostles wreak havoc on the world, he will definitely take action to deal with the apostles first and rescue his own kind. By then, he will have already completed the sacrifice ritual and forcibly descended to the world.

Once his true form descends, even if it's not at its peak, it can easily obliterate the apostles of Chen Xuan's world consciousness, and in an instant, it can devour the souls of all the creatures in this city. Even if his true form is sealed again, he can use the negative emotions generated by these souls to accelerate his awakening. Although even if he drains all these souls, his awakening speed won't be much faster, every little bit counts. As long as he's faster than those damned gods, that's fine.

Moreover, it's uncertain whether the world's consciousness can completely seal him again. The seals that the world's consciousness sets on these gods and monsters come at the cost of blocking the extraordinary beings of the entire world. Although such seals are incredibly powerful, they can be easily sealed even by many gods at the level of chief gods.

However, as the saying goes, powerful abilities often come with strict negative limitations, and the seals that keep them dormant are no exception. One of these limitations is that once they manifest their extraordinary abilities, their seals will loosen, which is why he was able to create this clone. The second limitation is that the seals are irreversible, meaning they can only take effect once, and the sealed object cannot be sealed a second time. This is the source of his confidence in forcibly bringing his main body down.

Of course, if the world consciousness comes up with new methods to kill him, then we can pretend he didn't say anything. But what child cries every day, or what gambler loses every day? Take a gamble and you'll win big. Zenong finally seized the initiative this time, so he would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't take a gamble.

"That's not something you should be concerned about. What you should be concerned about now is whether you can survive this attack from me."

RisingImpact

As Chen Xuan spoke, she patted the key to the Flying Locust at her waist, then leaped up with lightning speed, arriving in front of Zenong in an instant.

"So fast, there wasn't even time to dodge or defend."

"I can't dodge, I can't defend" was Zenong's last thought before he was kicked away by Chen Xuan.

The body of Kayaba Akihiko, who was occupied by Ze Nong and was hit by Chen Xuan, burst through the wall at an extremely fast speed like a cannonball, crashing through more than ten buildings before finally stopping on a wall.

"puff."

With his bones shattered, his body limp and covered in blood, and red and white muscles and sharp bone fragments piercing his skin, Zenong, whose body was clearly completely ruined, coughed up a mouthful of blood. Then, in a bizarre posture, he stood up again.

"Damn it, that's the downside of possessing a human body: the physical sensations will be synchronized with your own."

Zenong cursed and spat out the blood foam from his mouth. Then, all the black mist surrounding him surged into his body, clearly using the black mist to repair the damage to his body.

"As expected of a magical creature, it healed its body almost completely after taking my attack, although the technique was a bit rough."

Not long after Zenong stood up, Chen Xuan arrived at the scene. At this moment, Kayaba Akihiko's body had almost recovered. The shattered bones and torn muscles were forcibly pressed back together. Apart from the scars on his skin, which looked a bit scary, he was almost completely healed inside and out.

"Damn lackey, you came pretty fast, but don't underestimate me. You attacked me first, and I didn't have time to react, but things will be different next time. I'm going to use my real skills."

Zenong roared loudly, and then his body underwent a violent transformation. First, his size increased to three meters, then a pair of sharp horns emerged from the top of his head, his skin became extremely hard, a large number of bone protrusions continued to emerge and cover his body, his fingers became sharp and razor-sharp, and he had wings on his back. From a distance, he looked just like a demon described in mythology.

"Hehehe, this is my true fighting stance! Die, you lackey of world consciousness!"

Zenong laughed loudly, clenched his fists, and then used his leg muscles to rush in front of Chen Xuan in one step. His fist, carrying tremendous power and accompanied by the sound of air exploding, was aimed straight at Chen Xuan's face.

Chen Xuan didn't say much, and went to meet him with her right fist.

boom

The shockwaves from the collision of the two fists caused the surrounding air to explode with deafening noise.

Chapter 40 Assault on the Shining Locusts

"Your strength is not bad, but it's too arrogant for someone with this level of power to dare to yell at me."

Chen Xuan exerted force with her leg, kicking Zenong in the abdomen, and the enormous force sent Zenong flying again.

"Don't think I'm as fragile as before."

Zenong, who had been knocked away, flapped his wings, creating gusts of air, and forcibly stabilized his body.

Then, a small ball of magic imbued with a dark aura condensed in Zenong's mouth, and then transformed into a jet-black ray that shot out towards Chen Xuan.

Faced with Zenong's offensive, Chen Xuan took out a key and activated it. The random key instantly transformed into a jade-green longsword that looked very much like the Heavenly Crystal Mother Sword in the Legend of the Divine Weapon. Chen Xuan held the sword with one hand and met the dark ray head-on. The sharp blade split the ray in two, narrowly missing Chen Xuan.

"Yes, it has an corrosive effect."

Chen Xuan glanced at the emerald longsword, its blade corroded and tattered beyond recognition after the ray had been cut open, and felt a sense of novelty about the characteristics of the ray released by Zenong.

"Hey, you lackeys of the World Consciousness, how dare you lose focus during my battle? You're too arrogant."

Seeing that Chen Xuan dared to be distracted while fighting him, Zenong was furious. His wings flapped, and several wind blades shot out and attacked Chen Xuan.

"There's no trace of the spell being executed, but it's a bit more ingenious than the 'Powerful Brick Flying' technique."

While wielding her longsword and blocking all the incoming wind blades, Chen Xuan watched the report transmitted through the 01 armor.

"Kid, take this punch."

Zenong unleashed wind blades while clenching his fists and exerting force with his wings. Like a streak of light, he rushed in front of Chen Xuan in an instant. His right fist struck the 01 armor worn by Chen Xuan heavily, sending her flying.

"Ora ora, not enough, not enough!!!"

After knocking Chen Xuan away, Zenong accelerated again to catch up with her. He changed the angle and threw another punch, knocking her away once more. He continued this process dozens of times until he returned to the vicinity of the nightclub that Zenong had chosen, finally stopping and letting Chen Xuan freefall and crash into the wall outside the nightclub.

"Hehehe, you lackeys of the world consciousness, now you know how powerful Uncle Benzenon is."

Zenong stood in the sky, flapping his wings, looking smugly at Chen Xuan embedded in the wall.

"I thought you were some kind of powerful lackey, but you're nothing special. Looks like I worried for nothing. I even went out of my way to..."

RisingImpact

Zenong looked at Chen Xuan and said mockingly, but before he could finish speaking, a loud electronic sound rang out, and then a green figure arrived in front of him in an instant, kicking him hard in the stomach and sending him flying far away.

"Yeah, I was worried you might have some hidden abilities, but it seems you're just an ordinary first-tier, close to second-tier. Aside from your interesting attack methods, you're not anything special."

Chen Xuan, who had just kicked Zenong away again, said with considerable disappointment, while at the same time, a large number of red dots began to converge on his 01 armor display.

"puff."

Zenong spat out a mouthful of blood, his wings flapped behind him, and he stabilized himself in the air.

"Damn it, this guy named Kayaba Akihiko's body is still too weak. I even used my power to transform him into a monster and strengthen him, but he can only exert this level of power. Luckily, I had a trick up my sleeve, otherwise this body would probably have been forcibly destroyed before I could even forcefully descend into my true form."

After coughing up a mouthful of blood, Zenon cursed angrily in his heart, extremely dissatisfied with the body of Kayaba Akihiko that he had taken over. Although Kayaba Akihiko was very powerful as a scientist, his physical body was too weak, with the qualities of an ordinary middle-aged man. After being possessed, his daily activities were still okay.

However, when faced with an opponent like Chen Xuan, who was evenly matched or even surpassed Ze Nong's clone, he was clearly outmatched. Chen Xuan was unharmed after taking so many of his full-force punches, while his physical body coughed up blood after taking just one kick from Chen Xuan. The difference between the two was ridiculously large. Fortunately, Ze Nong understood the flaws of his own body and made other arrangements during the battle; otherwise, he might have been completely crushed by Chen Xuan. He didn't have any extra strength to use on Kayaba Akihiko.

"So you're just a lackey of the world's consciousness, huh? You've got some skill, haven't you? You took so many of my heavy punches and you're still fine. But I'm not someone who relies solely on fighting power!!!"

Zenong roared, and strange figures sprang out from every corner, rushing straight at Chen Xuan.

"An ability similar to a herd of beasts calling to its companions?"

"No, is it simply a matter of superiors controlling subordinates?"

Chen Xuan glanced at the densely packed swarm of at least a hundred strange men rushing towards her, and then took out a key with a handle that looked different from ordinary keys.

"Although I didn't want to use this form to clear out monsters, it's clear that relying solely on ordinary keys isn't enough."

Chen Xuan looked at the strange people still converging on his armor monitor, activated the newly taken-out key, and inserted it into the 01 driver.

Nochanceofsurvivingthisshot!

Accompanied by rousing electronic sounds and a dazzling flash of light, Chen Xuan's 01 armor successfully switched from the High Leap Locust form to the Shining Assault Locust form.

"Let's test the performance of this form next."

As Chen Xuan spoke, she exerted force with both legs, bursting forth with a speed even faster than Gao Yue Fei Huang. At the same time, because the Shining Assault Key was connected to the satellite Zea through a deep link, thanks to the satellite Zea's super computing power, in Chen Xuan's eyes these monsters were not only slow, but every move they made was calculated by the satellite Zea. Furthermore, the satellite Zea would calculate the best attack plan based on these speeds.

With her superior calculation and deduction abilities, coupled with data that far surpassed basic keys like Gao Yuefeihuang, Chen Xuan moved through the monsters as if they were nothing, easily taking down hundreds of monsters in just a few seconds and turning them back into humans.

"Damn, the lackeys of this world consciousness can actually reverse the monster transformation technique. No wonder I was wondering why so many transformed monsters lost their connection."

Zenong was shocked to see Chen Xuan moving through the monsters as if they were nothing, and in just a few seconds he had dealt with hundreds of monsters and turned them back into humans. At the same time, he finally understood why so many of the monsters he had turned into had lost their connection with him. It turned out that Chen Xuan could use a reversal technique to turn those monsters back into humans.

"Damn it, I can't delay any longer, I have to bring my true form here as soon as possible."

Seeing that the number of monsters he had summoned was decreasing, Zenong immediately rushed into the nightclub without hesitation. He wanted to take advantage of Chen Xuan being blocked by these monsters to forcefully descend with his true form. Otherwise, with Chen Xuan's new form, Kayaba Akihiko's body would not last more than a few rounds before he was blown up.

After all, Kayaba Akihiko's physical body was barely able to withstand Chen Xuan's High Leap Hopper form. Now, Chen Xuan's newly switched Shining Assault Hopper form is obviously faster and stronger than the High Leap Hopper form. How the hell is he supposed to fight this?

"Hmm, so you want to forcibly descend into your true form? Then let me see what you, this embodiment of sin and desire, are capable of."

Chen Xuan glanced at Ze Nong rushing towards the nightclub. Based on the scene inside the nightclub, he already knew what Ze Nong was planning to do. However, Chen Xuan did not intend to stop him. After all, Ze Nong, who had only taken over Kayaba Akihiko's body, was not of much research value to Chen Xuan and was also pitifully weak. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to observe what special abilities Ze Nong might have, he would have let Ze Nong give him a beating from the air.

However, it is obvious that Zenon, possessing Kayaba Akihiko, is greatly suppressed in strength. Although his attacks are somewhat interesting, they are only somewhat interesting. In essence, he is still weak and feeble. To be honest, it is just a circus act for fun. If Chen Xuan really wanted to fight, he could suppress Zenon with just the High Leap Locust form. Not to mention that Chen Xuan also has a key that is theoretically enough to solo a third-tier nation-destroying power. Zenon possessing Kayaba Akihiko is not a match for Chen Xuan no matter how you look at it.

So instead of bullying Zenong in his weak state, it's better to fight Zenong's main body when he forcibly descends. At least he shouldn't be instantly killed by Chen Xuan's kick.
