A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 2565 - 1716: Corrosion (Going to Need a New Monitor Soon)
For Artimasia, having her head blown up by Duanmu Huai was nothing new.
But the impact she encountered this time was nothing like before!
Because......!
Why? Why? Why can he stop time? Even control me?
Artimasia’s mind was in chaos. You must understand that manipulating time was a power only she had. In the world where time stopped, only Artimasia and her followers were allowed to move, others couldn’t act at all. But Duanmu Huai not only moved, but actually reversed the situation and controlled the Time Realm where she had stopped time!
"No, no......."
Instinctively, Artimasia wanted to scream, but Duanmu Huai’s fist had already slammed back into her mouth, and as he knocked her teeth out, he blew up her head.
No———! I beg you, let me go!!
For the first time, the Wing King felt fear.
It was not the fear of death, although as a member of the Blood Clan, she certainly feared death as well. But that wasn’t the issue now. What terrified the Wing King was Duanmu Huai’s hideous smile and eyes at this moment.
It was the look of regarding her as a toy, wanting to play with her wantonly and then completely destroy her to gain pleasure!
Just like a child picking up an ant, twisting its limbs one by one, then tearing the head and body apart to reveal laughter!
So terrifying! Really so terrifying!
Whether it was the other party ruthlessly shoving a hand into her body to crush her internal organs, or ripping her head in half, it didn’t seem like trying to eliminate an enemy, but more like playing a game of "let’s see how long you can last."
Is it possible to live like this?
Oh, so this is possible too.
Then what if I smash this?
The soft insides are also pretty stress-relieving to crush.
Even though she was such a bitch, who knew she was still pink on the inside.
Even if Duanmu Huai said nothing, Artimasia could feel the thoughts and notions transmitted from the other side.
Why, why are you doing this to me!?
Artimasia only felt grievance and pain. Obviously, she always thought for the humans, trying to let them die unnoticed and painless, but when it came to herself, why did she have to suffer like this? Her body hurt, everywhere hurt, whether inside or outside, she didn’t want to resurrect, didn’t want to reflect time... but if she didn’t resurrect, she would die...!
If she could, Artimasia wanted to attempt a large-scale time reversal again, but such a magic power-consuming move could not be done a second time. If she attempted it again, then she would die from magic power exhaustion, like this.........
It doesn’t seem impossible?
A thought that shocked even herself suddenly flashed through Artimasia’s mind.
Simply, just die like this. What’s the point of continuing retrospection? Although her strength was formidable, her opponent had significant resistance to her time stop, making it useless against him. In that case, wasn’t it better for her to just commit suicide? It was certainly better than being tormented in this infinite cycle of hell!
"World, ah........."
Artimasia opened her mouth, trying to unleash her strongest trump card again, but before she could finish speaking, Duanmu Huai grasped her head and slammed it to the ground. Then he raised his hands, and the sharp fingers pierced like sharp blades into the girl’s body, forcibly ripping open her skin, fat, and bones!
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!"
"Hahahahahahaha!!"
Duanmu Huai raised his head and laughed loudly. At this moment, his armor and face were already covered in blood, but rather than calming him down, it seemed to have fueled him like gasoline, burning even more intensely! What could be more exciting than watching the enemy of humanity scream, wail, and twist in torment right in front of him!
There was nothing, absolutely———!
"Die once more!"
While shouting, Duanmu Huai raised his clenched fists high and smashed them toward the face of the silver-haired girl, showing terror in her eyes!
Just at this moment, a shriek resounded.
"Lady Artimasia!"
Accompanied by this voice, a diamond-shaped barrier suddenly appeared, enclosing Duanmu Huai. At the same time, a short-statured boy descended from the sky, lunging toward Artimasia!
"Humph!"
However, even when faced with such sudden events, Duanmu Huai remained unfazed, and his downward-swinging fists shattered the barrier enclosing him as if smashing glass. His momentum unabated, he continued to strike the silver-haired girl’s face, smashing her head into paste once more!
"Ahhhhh! Lady Artimasia!!"
Seeing this scene, the young man let out an angry roar.
"How dare you! How dare you treat Artimasia-sama like this! I’m going to kill you!"
"It’s I who will kill you, you lowly subspace scum!!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Duanmu Huai stood up, stepped on the corpse of the silver-haired girl, and crushed her fleshy body to pieces like stepping on a bug!
"Your only purpose of existence is to scream, suffer, and die miserably! Let your soul’s wail please me! Then die like a filthy insect!"
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Seeing Artimasia’s body so desecrated by Duanmu Huai, the young man immediately let out an angry howl, then he spun around, transforming into a pitch-black giant dragon, opening its bloody mouth and lunging at Duanmu Huai!
However, Duanmu Huai just stood there motionless, staring at the opponent, watching the opponent’s open giant mouth appear before him, and then clamp shut.
But it didn’t clamp shut.
Facing the merging massive mouth, Duanmu Huai merely extended his hands and placed them there. The next moment, the opponent’s closing mouth was pressed directly onto Duanmu Huai’s hands. If it were a normal person, this alone would be enough to crush him whole. But the dragon’s experience was akin to accidentally biting into an iron plate; its teeth crumbled completely!
Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai grabbed its open upper and lower jaws and forcefully tore!
"Rip———!"
In just an instant, the colossal dragon the size of a bus was torn in half by Duanmu Huai!
"No——! Nebrim!"
Artimasia, resurrected once again, screamed in distress upon seeing this tragic scene. Her gaze toward Duanmu Huai was filled with anger and sorrow!
"Why! Why are you doing this to us? What did we do wrong?"
"Huh? What are you babbling about?"
Yet, faced with Artimasia’s pained questioning, Duanmu Huai merely gazed at her with a mocking smile.
"Things like you are, of course, only destined for such an outcome!"
"So cruel! We didn’t want to kill either, but this is the will of God—————!"
"What does the will of God matter?"
This time, before Artimasia could finish speaking, Duanmu Huai grabbed her throat and lifted her up, coldly staring at her.
"Listen, bitch, I couldn’t care less about all that God crap, any existence daring to threaten humans must die, even gods aren’t exempt! Even if it’s the Dragon God you worship, once it appears before me, I will shred it to pieces just like I deal with you, allowing it to feel the true meaning of pain, and making it regret the choice of opposing humans!"
"Ah... ah... ah....."
Stricken by fear as she gazed into Duanmu Huai’s eyes, burning with anger and the flames of destruction, Artimasia trembled uncontrollably, unable to believe what she was hearing.
God, why would such a person exist? Why? Why would someone disregard even the divine’s majesty and threaten to obliterate gods? What a desecration......
"But enough playing around, let’s get down to business."
Duanmu Huai’s voice rang out again, pulling Artimasia back from her blank state. She widened her eyes, staring at Duanmu Huai as he looked at her with disdain.
"Honestly, I don’t like getting involved with such filthy and despicable creatures, but there’s no choice now... Oh well, for the sake of humanity, let’s call it a self-sacrifice."
"You, what exactly are you saying... uh!"
But Artimasia didn’t finish, because the next moment, Duanmu Huai drew close, sealing her lips with his.
———————!!
For Artimasia, it was a sensation far more shocking than a mere kiss. She could feel, from within her mouth, a continuous flow of cold, rotten, swamp-like tremors creeping into her. It was akin to a tentacle with countless eyes and mouths stretching from her mouth into her throat and then into her chest, thereupon melting and beginning to permeate, corrode, merging with her body.
No, no, no!
Swamped by this bizarre feeling, Artimasia almost went mad, trying to struggle, attempting to revert to her dragon form, even considering invoking time retrospection to end herself. But now, her body refused to obey, and Artimasia even felt her soul being swallowed, becoming sullied. It was like pure white paper being imbued by filthy water.
Xiao Ai... what is she doing?
Watching this scene from a distance, Hei Chuan Chi Yin was also quite surprised. She certainly didn’t think Duanmu Huai would suddenly be driven by desire simply because the opponent was a well-figured beauty. She could see that as Duanmu Huai tightly embraced the silver-haired girl, the shadow under the sun at his feet quivered and twisted, transforming into towering tentacles that tightly wrapped the shadow of the silver-haired girl he had bound!
For some reason, seeing this familiar sight, Hei Chuan Chi Yin couldn’t help but remember that time, that nightmare! She too had faced a similar experience back then!
What on earth... is happening?!
