Godslayer: The different abilities represented by the twelve two-hour periods of the day

Just as Lina Alto raised her longsword, a golden sword aura, imbued with the power of the 'Klein' realm, surged forward in a fan shape like a raging torrent. Wherever the sword aura passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

However, at this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her like a ghost.

He was a tall man with flowing black hair that flew wildly in the wind.

His appearance was completely unexpected, as if time in this space had been frozen. Only he could walk in that frozen spacetime and suddenly appear in front of her, emanating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Just as Lina's sword aura was about to strike, the black straight blade in Wangmian's hand shot out with the swiftness of a venomous snake, easily piercing through the pale golden barrier surrounding her and going straight into Lina's chest, passing right through her body.

"team leader!!"

In that split second, Lin Shi and Tian Ping, members of the [Masked] team, finally saw the figure that had suddenly appeared.

Here, only their captain could appear silently in front of Lina Alto and pierce through the pale golden barrier with a single strike.

This was the king's full-force attack.

Currently, the gap between Lina Alto, who is at the 'Sea' Realm, and Wang Mian, who is at the peak of the 'Boundless' Realm, is simply too great.

Moreover, Wangmian is also a representative of the gods. The fact that Wangmian had to use all his strength to pierce through Lina Alto's pale golden barrier in an instant is enough to prove the defensive capabilities that Lina Alto's scabbard provided.

Lina Alto's pupils suddenly contracted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

She looked down at her chest, where blood was slowly dripping down the blade, staining her clothes red.

The golden longsword in his hand fell limply to the ground, and the originally imposing golden sword energy vanished in an instant.

Then, Lina Alto's body slowly collapsed, blood pooling beneath her to form a crimson puddle. Her consciousness gradually faded, and finally, she slowly closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, the battle on the other side also quietly came to an end.

On a vast expanse of white snow, two figures darted across the landscape like lightning, one deep red, the other pure white, as if two completely different beams of light were colliding fiercely in the white snow.

The sounds of metal clashing and bullets leaving the barrel were incessant, each collision igniting dazzling sparks.

The two were moving at an extremely fast speed, almost impossible for the naked eye to catch their movements. All that could be seen were two afterimages flashing in the air, sometimes approaching, sometimes separating, and sometimes a gunshot would ring out.

At this moment, both Lin Shi and Bai Wang Lin Shi were clear about each other's purpose.

Lin Shi fought Bai Wang Lin Shi not for a life-or-death struggle, and he knew that he was not capable of killing his opponent in his current state. So he wanted to take this opportunity to improve his combat experience.

He wanted to know how high he could fight his opponent, given the difference in their cultivation levels.

Bai Wanglin, on the other hand, had no interest in killing Lin Shi. His gaze would occasionally drift to the distant King's face as he weighed his options in his mind.

He knew very well that with Wang Mian, the special team leader at the peak of the 'Boundless' realm, present, he had no chance of finding the spirit crystal hidden in Lin Shi's shadow space and successfully bringing it out during the brief interval after killing Lin Shi.

With my current strength, the moment I enter Lin Shi's shadow space, it will probably be the moment I die.

Therefore, Bai Wanglin's true purpose was not Lin Shi, but to test Lina Alto, whom he had created but who was gradually slipping out of his control.

His gaze occasionally swept in Lina's direction, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

When Bai Wanglin saw Lina Alto being stabbed through the chest by Wang Mian and then falling to the ground dead, he felt no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

Death was merely a temporary state for her, for she possessed the ability to resurrect Lina.

Whether it's her body or her soul, all it takes is to fire a Scorpion Bullet at an empty shell to revive it and bring it back together.

However, his expression remained complex, not because of regret for Lina's death, but because of a deeper contradiction—he had created a "monster" that he could not fully control.

Lina Alto, the one whom White King Lin Shi personally shaped and bestowed with the identity of "knight," did not become an absolutely loyal puppet who served him without reservation, as he had initially envisioned.

Just as she awakened from the forbidden realm, an indelible sense of independence seemed to surge into her soul, an independence that gradually freed her will from Bai Wanglin's control.

She is no longer a tool that blindly follows orders, but an individual with self-awareness and judgment.

What's even more troublesome for him is that he now only has three chances to force Lina Alto to do things she doesn't want to do.

These three opportunities were his last trump card and his final means of maintaining control over Lina Alto.

However, Bai Wanglin knew very well that if he used any of these three opportunities, his relationship with Lina would be completely broken, and he might even push her to the opposite side.

This contradiction led Bai Wanglin to deep reflection.

He understood that while forcibly ordering Lina Alto might achieve his goals in the short term, it was undoubtedly a short-sighted and ultimately detrimental approach in the long run.

Each forced command further erodes Lina Alto's trust and loyalty, potentially leading to her complete escape from his control.

Therefore, his primary goal now is to cultivate a relationship with Lina Alto and become the king she is acknowledging.

At this moment, Lin Shi and Bai Wanglin Shi's figures were separated.

Before long, Lin Shi arrived beside Tian Ping and the others, while Bai Wang Lin Shi stood in the void, dozens of meters away from Wang Mian and the others.

As Lina Alto died, with the King's Mask piercing her chest, everyone's attention shifted from Lina Alto to White King Lin Shi and Lin Shi's side.

This is why Bai Wanglin suddenly increased the distance between them.

Bai Wanglin smiled at everyone, then raised his silver pistol and pointed it at the void beside him.

The next moment, an empty shell of Bai Wanglin appeared beside him, not far from the muzzle of the silver pistol.

"Scorpion Bullet".

Bang--!!

A gunshot rang out, striking the empty shell of Bai Wanglin's body that had just appeared.
