It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

The data streams originally connected to her body seemed to have been blocked, and some of the light bands became intermittent.

Chapter 939 Then You'd Better Kill Me

In terms of combat power, Bai Lin would definitely make a profit by using such an arm to put the opponent into such a state.

However, Bai Lin is a flesh and blood body after all, so it seems that the breathing of the god of death is more stable, and the impact she has suffered is not as great as Bai Lin's.

Even now, she was a little shocked by Bai Lin's actions. She looked a little puzzled and asked Bai Lin,

"How did you do it? You were clearly completely at the mercy of my high-calculation attack mode, so how did you suddenly catch up and even surpass me?"

Even though her body was beaten to pieces, our Bai Lin still showed her healthy and confident smile. She chuckled and said,

"In martial arts, specifically close combat, I always have my own methods. You've practically transformed the entire city into a giant calculator, continuously feeding you the results of my moves. To ensure accuracy, I've set the output to the maximum value."

"I really can't do anything about that. I'm not a hacker, so I can't paralyze your computer right now. But so-called calculations and speculations are only the beginning of martial arts."

Based on the opponent's previous move, one can predict their next move. For example, if the opponent slashes to the left, the next move is likely to come from the left as well. This may seem like a form of prejudgment based on experience, understood through reaction, and then countered. However, when this experience, reaction, and countermeasure are all brought to an extreme, it becomes a precise "calculation."

When facing lower-level opponents, masters can manipulate their moves throughout the fight, blocking every one of them. It looks like a fierce battle, but in reality, masters can end the fight at any moment.

At least, Bai Lin has this ability.

Our Bai Lin straightened up, loosened her arm that was pressing on the wound, and left a burning hemostatic scar on it with her own Mi Yan. She pointed to her head and said,

"If it's just in the realm of martial arts, I can completely calculate this kind of thing with my own brain. In this way, I can achieve the same effect as you."

"Although your movement ability is much faster than before, it obviously has a limit. Then I will use my own methods to break through my own limits, and occasionally surpass yours with one or two moves. In this way, I will be able to hit you."

These words immediately refreshed Death's understanding. She now fully understood that Bai Lin, standing before her, was not someone she could defeat. If Bai Lin were in his full state, he could easily dismantle her with just his bare hands.

Unfortunately, Bai Lin wasn't. She was weak now, and had lost an arm. After the battle, she had rebuilt her own body, and even put her life on the brink of danger. Therefore, she still had a chance, and she had to be careful when facing this dangerous beast, even if she had already reached the end of her rope.

"I really don't understand why someone like you would do such a thing. What benefit would that bring to you?"

Death sighed and asked. Bai Lin quickly said,

"Just take it as it is. At least, there's no confusion in my eyes. I do want to ask you, when we were fighting before, even though we were fighting across the machine, I could clearly sense hesitation hidden in your seemingly decisive and tough attacks. Why have you changed now?"

As he spoke, Bai Lin raised one arm and looked around.

"Looking at this dilapidated city, you should understand that you've already lost. Those who used you as pawns must have completely given up and returned here. There's no need for you to fight me anymore. Even if you win, you won't gain anything. What made you suddenly become so powerful? What's the reason you're fighting me?"

Death fell into a brief silence at this question. Then, she placed her hand on a core part of her body and replied,

"Imitative-Zero. This is the name of the core installed in me. We generally call it the Soul-Reaping Demon. Once used, it will devour our lives until death. At the same time, it will also provide us with an endless supply of power, tens of thousands of times greater than our original capabilities."

"Unfortunately, it's only a prototype. If you had arrived a little later, what you'd have seen would have been a group of brainwashed mechas burning their own lives. In that case, they would have killed you."

As he spoke, the Grim Reaper raised his eyebrows slightly, and pointed his finger into the distance.

"Do you see this long-lost moon? Now, I only need to strike with all my strength to destroy it. Although they can't catch up with me, you can imagine how powerful they are."

"...It's truly terrifying. I'm terrified that now that you can finally see the pure white moonlight, you only want to destroy it."

Bai Lin said jokingly, as the neon lights gradually faded, the light of the night sky itself could be seen clearly, but it seemed that no one had the leisure to appreciate the moonlight. And the God of Death slowly responded to Bai Lin's other question.

"As for why I'm here, I'm here just for the man who just stopped you, my master."

Hearing this, Bai Lin pretended to be surprised. She tilted her head and replied,

"Your master? I remember... he just came here not long ago. I heard that he's not as loyal to the company as you are. I never expected you to have feelings for him."

"From the beginning, I could tell he wasn't our type. But there was indeed much to learn from him, so I always treated him with respect, always with the goal of improving myself and safeguarding the company's interests."

The words of the God of Death were indifferent, as always, without any personal feelings. She looked at Bai Lin and said,

"Now, my goal no longer exists. I failed. But as an outsider, he doesn't need to die here like the rest of us. So I will return here to complete my beginning and end."

"It's just that he might be dead now, so you'll just attack me directly, right? If you can't get the body, then at least get some revenge."

Bai Lin raised his eyes slightly and asked in return. But Death gave a shorter answer.

"So, how is he now?"

Bai Lin smiled slightly and spoke lightly.

"Then you might as well kill me."

Chapter 940: Beyond Death: Zero Wave Cannon

The seemingly predictable words echoed in the Death God's ears. Her eyes dropped slightly, and the next second, she flashed, charging directly at Bai Lin. The crushing blows, which shattered the earth, rock, and rubble, effortlessly pierced through the city, barreling towards Bai Lin's face. Like a tank crushing the grass, Bai Lin, frail as ever, mustered her last bit of energy and headed straight for the onslaught.

Theoretically, Bai Lin's condition was worse. According to her usual style, she would never choose to distance herself if she could continue to pursue. This was because constant pursuit allowed her to control the rhythm of the attack, making it difficult for the opponent to make unexpected moves.

Moreover, judging from the very beginning, the Grim Reaper was not the kind of character that could be reconciled with, so this way of handling the matter was completely different from what Bai Lin would usually do.

So why did she make this choice?

Of course, this is because there is another variable.

At that moment, a figure, also battle-scarred but fully armed, swooped down from the side. It was Xiao Nuo, who hadn't been seen since arriving on the surface. She had been lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

At this moment, Bai Lin and the opponent have already fought with each other, causing the conditions of both sides to decline significantly, and the computing power system on the Death God has not returned to normal. It can be said that this is the most suitable time to insert variables.

Since one of Bai Lin's arms has been broken, she can no longer exceed the opponent's ability by going beyond her limits, so Xiao Nuo will have to replace her lost hand and launch the attack.

This was the best chance, this was the only time. This was the moment when the God of Death attacked Bai Lin wholeheartedly.

Xiao Nuo was no show-off by any means. Her sharp blade cut through the sky with the force of sweeping across thousands of troops, and attacked the God of Death directly from an extremely tricky angle. Bai Lin also punched out and quickly attacked the body of the God of Death.

The attack hit, the armor was damaged, and the combined force of the two men was undoubtedly a great success! The Death God was immediately wounded and his position was disrupted.

Xiao Nuo swung his blade in a circle, stepped forward, and slashed forcefully at the Death God's face. After the latter struggled to resist, Bai Lin charged again, sending him flying and following up with a flying kick. Xiao Nuo charged again, spinning his blade and slashing, striking the opponent squarely in the waist.

Their combined attack was truly more terrifying than two rabid dogs chasing and biting you. They seemed to disregard their own injuries, intent solely on killing you. After all, that was their shared fighting style. The wounds on the pursued Grim Reaper quickly worsened. In this passive defense, her demeanor remained unwavering, as if the pain she felt was fake, not even a hint of panic.

I only heard her slowly say in the midst of this constant attack,

"Have you had enough?"

Although these words shocked the two, they were not the type to stop their attacks just because of emotional fluctuations. The Death God naturally withstood their attacks, like a statue, standing firm in the powerful destructive force.

"No, stop!"

Bai Lin seemed to have seen something and quickly stopped Xiao Nuo's actions.

Her right hand gradually raised up, and the carapace on her body gradually became tougher. A red light gradually spread from her heart and spread to her whole body. At the same time, it released a shock wave that directly shook the two apart. Xiao Nuo, who fell into the ruins, said breathlessly,

"This didn't kill her?"

"Oh, you must not be trying hard enough."

"Nonsense! You didn't even take out your sword and just used your fists to fight. The iron is your problem."

While the two men were climbing to their feet, they had already concluded another argument. Death, on her part, seemed to have completed her preparations as well. Her body was engulfed in a crimson glow. The light, blazing like a crimson sun, swirled behind her, obscuring her face, revealing only her gleaming red eyes.

The impact, the rise, the collapse, began with the earth cracking and bridges collapsing. And the ocean, far away, seemed to be affected by her light, with surging tides and violent storms.

The oppressive feeling weighed down both of their minds to the utmost. The devastation, the oppression, the dread of being torn apart sent chills down their spines, their bodies numbing. When Xiao Nuo regained consciousness, he realized he couldn't move. The flames behind the Grim Reaper, like energy finally freed, transformed into a long stream of light, soaring into the sky and illuminating the city.

Then, she raised her right hand and pointed forward. This time, everyone knew what they were about to face.

Beyond Death: Zero Wave-Motion Cannon

A crimson light pierced the heavens and earth. Just as the sun illuminates the sky, so too did this light completely obliterate Xiao Nuo's vision. In the next second, it seemed as if her consciousness would be ripped away by this light. She had no answer to how the outside world would be destroyed.

She didn't know what she could do, and probably couldn't do anything. Even if she reacted, she wouldn't be able to complete even the simplest escape.

At that moment, a blurry figure emerged from the overflowing red light into her sight. The figure, his long robe fluttering like straw in a storm, was buffeted and eroded by the red light. Yet, he remained rooted to the spot, showing no sign of retreating.

She raised her hand, holding a small black shield, protecting Xiao Nuo. Bai Lin was naturally the only one carrying a shield in such a place. Despite her best efforts to protect herself, the massive jet of water ripped her body apart, leaving burns all over her body.

This also made her legs, which were already gripping the ground, increasingly unstable. She was impacted by this energy and was pushed back.

Xiao Nuo was stunned when he saw this scene.

Is this guy really going to die? It seems she's different from me, having enough time to react and dodge. At least, she won't take the most direct damage. So why did she choose to stand in front of me? Was she trying to protect me?

Watching her back gradually sliding towards this side, it was just like the situation of these dark knights in the city.

Chapter 941: The Obscure and Obscure Restlessness

They fought hard, and although they were also very strong, the enemy's strength was also too strong. This was not something that could be solved by willpower alone, but they were like this, knowing that it was impossible, but they still did it.

Finally, her body was touched by Xiao Nuo. Realizing this, Bai Lin turned her head and glanced at Xiao Nuo, who was still unable to do anything. Her sunglasses finally fell off under the strong impact, and like her gradually crumbling figure, she floated away.

Her lips moved slightly, and the faint characters were inaudible, but Xiao Nuo could see them clearly.

She is saying

"The next step is up to you."

A blinding red light engulfed the entire city, crumbling countless buildings in an instant. It was as if the world had been split in two. The red light became a line of death, destroying everything that crossed it. It wasn't until a long time later that it slowly dissipated.

The originally dilapidated streets could no longer be seen in their entirety. This downtown area was even more dilapidated than the corners seen on the edge of the city before.

The Death God revved its engines and slowly descended to a ruined area. A figure sat there. She held the half-burned remains of a pair of sunglasses, her eyes downcast, her thoughts etched in her mind.

This seemed to be the first time that Xiao Nuo showed such an expression. She was probably not too sad. The complex expression in her eyes was mainly composed of emotion and loss, but when she clenched her teeth, it seemed to turn into anger.

"Why would you do that?"

"In battle, rationally assessing and handling the situation is the key to victory. That's what you taught me, right? Even if it seems like I'm recklessly pouring out my emotions, in reality, it's the best option arrived at after careful analysis."

"But right now, no matter how you look at it, if you run away, it will be more hopeful for you to survive because you are stronger. Why did you choose to protect me?"

A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Nuo's lips. She slowly stood up. Raindrops fell from the sky, washing away her wounds that were dripping with blood. A gentle breeze blew the biting cold into her thin body.

"Even if you can't win, waiting for rescue... obviously your chances of survival are higher."

"It's too difficult. What you taught me is too hard to understand. The task you left me is too arduous."

I wonder if tears drifted from the corners of her eyes, melting into the wind and rain. Xiao Nuo said this with a slight tremor, then tucked her sunglasses into the lining of her armor. Her face was gloomy, even darker than the sky.

"I have no intention of becoming your enemy. Logically, she should have kept the location of the person I want. Do I kill you and then take it, or do you hand it over voluntarily?"

The Grim Reaper spoke. She was now overflowing with energy, looking no worse than when she first arrived. She had burned her life force, but also, through her special outer armor, she had converted some of the incoming energy. Because of this, her computing ability had almost fully recovered.

Although Xiao Nuo can't see those light strips.

However, Xiao Nuo, with her long hair, didn't seem to hear what the other person said. She took a deep breath and said,

"I can't do this kind of thing."

"How could I possibly suppress the urge to crush this person right here, right here, right now, just because of you? Rational? If you can still be rational in this situation, try it yourself!"

Xiao Nuo's words gradually became illogical, her voice approaching an unusually discordant tone. Every word she spoke revealed the emotions surging and churning within her mind. After she finished her last sentence, she raised her eyebrows, her face filled with madness.

The madness of wanting to chop the opponent into pieces.

Anger, rage, and all other emotions pushed her to raise the blade in her hand. She did not have the habit of provoking her opponents like Bai Lin did, and she was too lazy to say harsh words. If she used her own words, it should be,

"Have you ever seen anyone go to a funeral home and talk to the dead?"

In her eyes, she would completely crush the other party, this was an established fact without a doubt. At least, Xiao Nuo had mastered Bai Lin's teaching of "believing that you can achieve your goals."

However, her fighting style was no longer entirely identical to her master's. As she had said, rationality was no longer something she could maintain. Her attacks were no longer airtight, but rather more surging than usual. Taking a blow from her was definitely not a pleasant experience.

It's a pity that if we just talk about the value becoming higher, the opponent's value is higher than hers.

The mechanical punch withstood Xiao Nuo's attack, leaving a deep wound. Death didn't care. Then, with a single blow, it shattered Xiao Nuo's sternum. Xiao Nuo gushed out blood, her upper body aching as if it were being burned by flames. But she didn't retreat a step. She forced her arms forward, lowered her body, and collided with Death's waist.

According to her calculations, Death had already steadied herself, even though the opponent's impact sent her flying dozens of meters away. As the momentum peaked and began to dissipate, she stepped back to steady herself on the ground. While Xiao Nuo was still holding on, she grabbed him with both hands, raised her knee, and slammed him into her body.

Like the sound of a hammer striking a decaying animal, it slowly began to resonate, a thick and heavy sound. From the first blow, the feeling of being shattered spread throughout Xiao Nuo's body, along with the excruciating pain. She felt as if her bones had completely disintegrated, no longer the strong framework that held her body together, but a pool of broken pieces mingling with blood.

The second time, she felt that her internal organs seemed to have turned into lumps, which were compressed into a glaring red, and could no longer support the flow of her life.

The third blow sent Xiao Nuo flying. This time, it was her consciousness that was shattered. The excessive pain caused her mind to dissipate. The light from her eyes shattered, leaving behind a darkness that made her pause and contemplate.

She couldn't win. Her manic self-confidence was so fragile in the face of reality. When she fell to the ground, everything had disappeared, and what was left was perhaps only sadness.

Soon, she opened her eyes again because she felt pain in her body.

Chapter 942 How Can I Believe It Again

Flames burned in the ruins around her, but her body could not feel the heat from the outside world. Only her throat felt as if it had been burned by magma, and every breath was painful.

Her body was trapped in the crumbling ruins, her face soaked in the cold rain. Even if she opened her eyes, it seemed as if only endless rain poured down on her, and she still felt helpless, that kind of sorrow.

Every inch of my body was paralyzed, and my heart seemed to have already stagnated.

Oh, I knew it would be like this.

Even though she was showing immense anger, she couldn't believe she could actually kill him. That was why she abandoned her rationality and tried to be as brave as possible.

Xiao Nuo seemed to be thinking so.
