Chapter 117: Chapter 111: Fetus

Zzz!

Like a chainsaw, the spine buzzed between the walls of the Mother Nest.

With the Zombie Blade lodged in the wall, Luo Di secured himself at a high position, his gaze once again landing on the [Mother] at the center of the ceiling and the Blood Hand designated to protect it.

Facing syringes continuously thrown by the other two sisters,

Luo Di, under Open Spine condition, was able to clearly see the trajectory of each syringe, completely blocking or deflecting them with his left arm.

His feet were already accumulating power; the flesh wall where his soles stepped started to dent.

Isabella was already feeling the most direct threat; that the opponent possessed the capability to kill the Mother.

"Can’t let this monster get close to the Mother! Must hold him back by any means."

[Takeoff]

Ripples spread across the flesh wall.

The recoil from his legs propelling, carried Luo Di towards the Mother located at the center of the ceiling.

Seeing this, the remaining two sisters also tried their hardest to crawl over, taking off in succession, attempting to intercept him in mid-air.

However, merely upon encountering,

These speed-type clones, not good at close combat, were sliced into two before even getting close, unable to even perform basic blocking.

One clone was instantly killed,

The only remaining sister decisively gave up obstructing and shrank back alone to the farthest corner, trembling all over.

"I have drunk the fresh blood of my grandmother! I am a being Beyond Pseudo-Person, I’ve long reached the standards for victory in the Seam, it’s impossible for anything to go wrong here!"

At the moment,

Luo Di was less than four meters away from the Mother,

The Zombie Blade in his hand poised, ready to completely split the Mother open upon contact, retrieving the backpack that was so crucial for him.

The next second,

Buzz! The protective Blood Hand whooshed over, the nearly three-meter-long palm completely obstructing Luo Di’s vision, making it impossible to dodge in mid-air.

Yet a gleam flashed through Luo Di’s pitch-black eyes,

He never thought about evading, nor was he aiming to slash in mid-air, it seemed he had other plans...

Click-click-click~ Iron wires with sharp spikes drilled back and forth over his left arm’s surface.

The left arm from the Torture Room slowly lifted upward,

The iron wires congregated in the palm aiming at the ceiling, a trap different from the animal trap was rapidly created.

The Blood Hand swung down!

The expected slapping sound didn’t come through,

Instead, there was a sound of flesh being pierced,

Trap creation- ’Hook’

Four sharp hooks penetrated the Blood Hand,

Mr. Hawke’s favorite Hook trap was created on the ceiling, also the simplest trap, robust and stable, completely halting the approaching Blood Hand.

This also happened to be the torture device Luo Di experienced most in Hell’s Torture Room, appropriately used in the current situation.

After being restricted by the Hook, the protective Blood Hand paradoxically became a temporary stepping stone in mid-air.

Luo Di, having already climbed onto the arm, once again poised himself to jump!

This was his plan,

Jump!

A double jump in mid-air, directly pressing towards the Mother, and this time without any interference.

His gaze was already fixed on the highly protruding belly, ready to execute a high-difficulty "Cesarean section" in mid-air.

Whoosh!

The blade had already sliced through the tail end of the Mother, and was about to touch the core belly when,

Heh~

A bizarre laughter spread,

The Mother stuck on the ceiling suddenly contracted upward, or rather the entire flesh ceiling indented inward, causing the protruding Mother to completely sink into the interior of the ceiling, embedding within.

This sudden change disrupted the situation,

Even with his Spine Opened, Luo Di still didn’t possess the ability to fly, not even able to hang in the air for a second.

Seeing his target escaping right before his eyes, his body could only helplessly fall downward.

During the fall, he even thought about throwing the Zombie Blade with all his might, trying to slice open the belly.

Suddenly a stroke of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he halted the idea of throwing.

Falling downward,

He kneeled on one knee,

Returning to the starting point once more.

But Luo Di did not give up, his eyes still firmly fixated on the Mother embedded in the ceiling, ready to attempt again, not much time wasted.

Like a chainsaw, the spine crazily rotated, continuously channeling Hell Energy throughout his body,

From kneeling on one knee to a takeoff posture,

Sprint!

Swing arms and pump legs,

Equivalent to a textbook perfect takeoff motion,

But...

Just as the first step was taken, preparing to continue with the second step,

Crack!

His right leg suddenly lost strength, his balance disrupted,

Luo Di, due to inertia, fell forward several meters,

When he wanted to stand up, he found his entire right leg extremely weak, unable to receive signals from the brain.

Then, intense pain came!

The severe pain from his right leg told Luo Di that all bones inside were shattered, even the muscles were slowly dissolving.

[Physical Overdraft]

From creating the Jaw Splitter, the chopping almost never stopped.

Additionally, having been directly hit by the Blood Hand previously, his body was already scarred throughout.

Moreover, since stepping into the nursing home, he was affected by the curse of aging, and during the recent battle, he was poked by syringes, Luo Di’s current body was nearly fifty years old.

However, these were not the most critical issues.

The Opened Spine was the ultimate straw that broke this body,

Luo Di’s Open Spine was strange, as if forced open, incomplete.

If it weren’t for the Body Tolerance Value increase brought by more than half a month of excruciating training, Luo Di would have collapsed long ago, managing to Open Spine and perform so many actions already exceeded the estimates.

Now is the time to pay the price,

The pain in his right leg had just started not long ago, and the left leg also started soon after.

Bones shattered,

Muscles dissolved,

The intense pain and physical weakness also forced the "Open Spine" state to close.

Even with Luo Di’s strong obsession now, he couldn’t prevent the disintegration of his body.

Hahaha!

When "Isabella", the last of the "Three Sisters", saw this scene, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and her brain’s fear towards this young man instantly cleared.

"I knew it~ merely a Human, how could you become such a Monster so suddenly, I who have accepted the grandmother’s blood, an high difficulty anomaly, how could I be suppressed by you.

It turns out there’s a ’price’ to pay, almost got my Mother Nest cut by you.

But even if you really did hit it, it would merely cause me severe injuries. The flesh resources within the nursing home could continuously supply the Mother.

As long as I am in the nursing home, I cannot be killed! I am a core member of the Sisterhood!

Game over!

Goodbye, Wenwen’s boyfriend! I will smash you first and then send you inside the Mother to be reshaped, and slowly savor thereafter."

The previously severed Blood Hand also repaired itself, raising high, targeting the young man who couldn’t move on the ground.

No longer slapping with the palm, but clenched into a fist.

A continuous stream of flesh was sent to the Blood Hand, giving more flesh density to ensure a lethal strike.

Luo Di had deactivated Hell Mode, reverting to an ordinary, even a broken ordinary person.

Once hit by such a fist, probably not even a complete organ would be left.

He couldn’t move,

Even his arm started to malfunction,

Yet his gaze didn’t stop on the descending fist, still focused on the Mother, still trying to take back the crucial item inside.

Here it comes!

The Blood Hand fell along with Isabella’s sharp laughter.

Before Luo Di’s view was blocked, he unexpectedly saw something, saw something wriggling in the abdomen of the Mother, seemingly about to give birth again.

Isabella seemed completely unaware,

Her eyes only saw Luo Di as the Monster, only watching him smashed into mush could she truly relax, could she clear the residual stain of Fear in her heart.

Even imagining the scene of making mincemeat,

Snap!

The pummeling hit,

Flesh mud all over,

But the amount of this mush was far more than what one person could squeeze out.

This flesh mush did not come from Luo Di,

Instead, the structure of the Blood Hand suddenly collapsed, scattering into a pile of mush.

The blood and flesh energy sustaining this whole suddenly became insufficient, causing the collapse of the Blood Hand.

Impossible!

Isabella completely did not understand why this happened, the whole nursing home’s flesh reserve was completely enough, even smashing a hundred times would not use it up.

Not right...

A sudden pain struck Isabella’s abdomen, feeling an anomaly from the Mother.

She fiercely looked towards the Mother embedded in the ceiling,

Unexpectedly,

The once plump Mother had already become incredibly emaciated.

All the inside nutrition, even the Mother’s foundation, had been completely drained. These core nutrients should have been used to create the perfect Isabella, but now were given to a new "unknown fetal".

A fetal that not even Isabella knew,

The entire Mother was her Fear Embodiment, the womb could only birth "her," and only Isabella was supposed to have the breeding rights of the womb.

Why would there be another fetal?

Who disguised themselves, even fooled the Mother’s recognition system?

Unable to find the answer,

Isabella watched the almost drained Mother, watched the arduous birthing process, seeming like as soon as the child was born, the Mother would die.

It felt like she returned to her young age, watching her mother struggle and ultimately die in childbirth on the operating table, a longstanding psychological trauma. Her father also indulged in alcohol because of this, and soon died in a drunk-driving accident.

Splash!

A large amount of amniotic fluid flowed from the abdomen, pulling Isabela’s thoughts back, she could feel the Mother was already dead, all her years of accumulation gone.

But she still held a sliver of hope,

Hoping that this new-born entity might just be her complete form, a perfect birth realized in her emotional turmoil.

Merely a split of consciousness had occurred.

Swoosh!

A pale, slender leg, clearly adept at running, emerged, the sole still coated with pure white sticky fluid.

Following this, a pair of similarly pristine hands, blooming like lotuses, emerged, slender fingers resting on the Mother’s abdomen,

Hands supporting,

Woo~

A female head carrying damp black hair appeared,

Just like a young girl freshly bathed,

Her tongue still licking the nutrient-rich slick mucus,

Through the umbilical cord connected to the abdomen,

Slowly landed,

The viscous fluid hanging on her body just covered the private parts,

The girl looked first at the area where the Blood Hand turned into flesh mud, confirming something, then gracefully turned.

Her eyes shifted to the corner of the ceiling, the only remaining, weak incarnation like a stick insect, also Isabella’s remaining body.

A youthful smile spread across the girl’s face,

Tip-toed,

Raising her arms as high as possible,

Waving back and forth,

"Sister Isabella, long time no see... Thank you for your womb, so warm! You’re still the kindest to me, I knew sister would leave everything to me."
