Chapter 318 The God Who Controls Escape
Chen You stood on the high platform, looking down at the enormous thing kneeling in front of him.
At this moment, the BOSS, who should have been exuding a mythical aura, was supporting himself on his arms, his enormous head almost touching the tips of Chen You's shoes.
"No divine core?" Chen You asked calmly.
The Star Neptune projection nodded frantically, its movements so exaggerated that they stirred up a gust of wind.
"No, no! Brother, you can see the truth! I'm just a clone that the original body casually created three thousand years ago. I was captured by those bastards surnamed Meng and brought here to work as an illegal laborer."
"They drain my energy and force me to DJ here every day to keep the mining area running."
"I'm just a miserable working-class person, where would I get such a prohibited item as a divine core?"
The projected sound, processed with electronic audio, should have been oppressive, but instead carried a strong sense of grievance and heartache.
Below the dance floor, hundreds of spirits lay prostrate on the ground, their bodies flickering violently.
They couldn't understand why the supreme ruler who led them in a night of revelry had become like this.
Chen You ignored the complaints projected on the screen.
With a flick of his wrist, the Jade Emperor Sword emitted a clear, ringing sound.
The terrifying aura of the innate spiritual treasure instantly locked onto the projection's brow.
"Since you have no value," Chen You raised his longsword, the blade pointing directly at the massive projected head.
"Then I'll kill you. Your true form should sense your death here, right?"
The eerie blue flames in the Star Neptune projection's eye sockets suddenly contracted, startling it into waving its hands repeatedly.
"No, no, no! Big brother! You can't!"
A giant hand waved in mid-air, creating sonic booms.
"You don't know! The original body doesn't care whether I live or die! He created me just for fun."
"If I were killed, not only would he not avenge me, but he would also despise me for making a fool of myself and sever our spiritual connection!"
Chen You's eyes were cold as he lowered his sword by half an inch.
"I don't believe it. You mythical creatures are very concerned about your reputation. If I slap him in the face, he can't possibly remain unmoved."
Chen You's logic is very simple.
In the game's mechanics, the older ones come after the younger ones; that's an ironclad rule.
If this projection is destroyed, the system will most likely trigger a special event where the world leader descends.
"You really aren't coming!"
The projector's sound cracked in its anxiety, turning the deep bass into a shrill air raid siren.
Looking at the unwavering killing intent in Chen You's eyes, he knew that this human was definitely not joking.
"Wait a minute! Big brother! I have a way!" The projection suddenly raised its head and shouted.
Chen You stopped what he was doing.
"explain."
The projection swallowed a non-existent saliva, and the flames in its eye sockets flickered wildly.
"I...I have a unique secret technique. Although the original body despises me, I do possess a portion of its core energy."
"As long as I hold a specific 'Starry Resonance Ritual' here, I can forcibly lock his spatial coordinates and pull him directly over!"
Chen You raised an eyebrow slightly.
"How long will it take?"
"Soon! One minute at most!" Seeing that there was hope, the projector quickly seized the opportunity.
"Just give me a little space to perform the ritual."
"I guarantee I'll bring the main body over to you, and you can have as many divine cores as you want!"
Chen You stared at him for a few seconds.
"Let's begin."
He took two steps back, giving up the central position on the platform.
The Star Neptune projection, as if granted a pardon, quickly scrambled to its feet.
He took a deep breath, and the dark blue patterns on his body began to flash intensely.
"Will of the stars, heed my call..."
The projection spread its arms and began chanting ancient and obscure incantations.
As he spoke, the surrounding air began to vibrate violently, and a visible blue sound wave spread outwards from him.
The spirits lying on the dance floor were affected by the sound waves and stood up, raising their hands above their heads and mechanically swaying to the rhythm of the sound waves.
Chen You stood still, observing coldly.
The projected movements became increasingly exaggerated.
He started with a perfectly executed robotic dance slide, then suddenly turned around, his right hand frantically spinning in mid-air while his left hand made various complex hand seals.
"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom! The main body has arrived! Welcome everyone!"
The incantation gradually transformed into heavy metal electronic music beats.
The projection, while frantically twisting its massive body, kept its eyes glued to the back of the platform out of the corner of its eye.
There stood the metal wall he had just torn apart with his bare hands.
In the center of the wall, the spatial rift was slowly healing.
As the energy was depleted, the edges of the crack began to blur, leaving only a gap less than a meter wide.
Chen You watched the projected dance moves, which resembled an epileptic seizure, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
What kind of ceremony is this? It's clearly just stalling for time.
"You have thirty seconds left," Chen You said coldly.
"Almost there! Almost there! The climax is coming!" the projector shouted back, its hands moving even more frantically.
As he jumped, he subtly moved towards the wall.
With each step, the metal floor beneath his feet emitted a dull thud.
The width of the crack has shrunk to half a meter.
Just then, the projection suddenly turned around, facing Chen You, raising its arms high and striking an extremely chuunibyou (delusional) pose.
"Witness the moment of miracle! Lord of the Stars, descend!"
He let out a deafening roar, and the entire underground space trembled from the sound waves.
Chen You subconsciously narrowed his eyes, gripped the Jade Emperor Sword tightly, and prepared to face the formidable enemy that was about to arrive.
However, the terrifying pressure that was expected to tear through the void did not appear.
The moment the line was uttered, the massive body of the Star Neptune projection suddenly and strangely shrank downwards.
The five-meter-tall giant completed a perfectly executed low-sliding tackle in a mere 0.01 seconds.
"Sizzle—"
A loud scraping sound rang out.
The projection's enormous body transformed into a blue afterimage, skimming the ground and, in a manner completely defying the laws of physics, precisely slipped into the spatial rift that was only half a meter wide.
The movements were so smooth and the speed so fast that it was simply outrageous.
"Goodbye, brother! No, never again! You can have fun here by yourself!"
From the depths of the crack came an extremely arrogant electronic echo filled with the joy of surviving a catastrophe.
next second.
"Smack."
The spatial rift closed completely, leaving not even a trace of energy fluctuation.
The torn metal wall was restored to its original state, fitting perfectly, as if nothing had ever happened.
The entire underground space fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
Only the hundreds and thousands of spirits in the dance floor remained with their hands raised above their heads, staring blankly at the empty platform.
Chen You stood still, maintaining his attack stance.
A gust of cold wind blew in from the broken vent, swirling up several pieces of waste paper on the ground.
Just then, a system notification sounded.
The quest "Shadows of the Snowfield" has been completed.
Chen You slowly lowered his sword.
He stared at the intact metal wall for a full ten seconds.
They ran away again?
