Chapter 216 - 216 216 Strike Hard_1

Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Strike Hard!_1 Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Strike Hard!_1 “Just a piece of rotten flesh, and it’s actually been resurrected…”

Colin’s gaze flickered across the red eye in the chest of the Ancient God, quickly realizing that this was likely not His original bodily organ.

Without a doubt, it must be the true purpose of the followers of the Red Moon.

“Are these Fishmen really that stupid or just pretending, to believe in the words of the ‘Red Moon’ followers?”

Colin muttered to himself, unlike the desperate Fishmen seeking any remedy, he didn’t believe that the ‘Red Moon’ believers would sacrifice themselves for a Different Race without reason.

What stood before him must be the result the other party wished to achieve…

At this moment, flames danced around him, sheltering him as he faced the might emanating from the resurrected Ancient God. Even with the use of “The False Powerhouse,” he moved prudently and did not rashly advance.

At least for a short time, he figured he probably shouldn’t rush forward and deliver himself…

Then, he discovered the awkward truth: not only was defeating it uncertain, but escaping was also not guaranteed.

“No, that’s not right. The Ancient God might be strong now, but it seems to lack that divine essence. Creatures like ‘Hunger’ and even the ‘Tyrant’ have shown a similar aura, but this guy has none. It’s purely strong on its own…”

Colin suddenly remembered hearing that this “Ancient God” seemed to have been stripped of divinity by “His future self.”

The divinity had not returned with His return.

To put it plainly, He now seemed to be just a ‘knockoff’…”

A being endowed with “divine” versus one without, the disparity is not minor. The former seems to always wield power beyond reason to strike, overpowering all else, while the latter is just a slightly stronger being.

Although he didn’t know how that individual managed to strip away the divinity, upon confirming that this being had none,

Colin decided to strike hard!

While the monster chewed and savored his own Clan, he swung his right arm and lined up his gaze with his arm and the gun, aiming directly at the crimson eyeball on the chest of the massive creature.

“So what if it’s a God? Just a slightly stronger creature, that’s all. I shall slay it!”

Qin Chuan and the others behind him couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of their eyes upon hearing this—You really dare say that!

Without giving them more time to ponder, Colin pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang, bang!

Amidst the flashing firelight, three bullets trailing flames like comets shot out in succession, heading straight for that eye on the chest.

However, the bullets that were usually almost sure to hit aside from grazing, now faltered in mid-air as the flames died; and as they neared the faintly glowing red eyeball, the bullets unexpectedly sprouted eyes and mouths.

Then, with a jump of his eyelid, Colin saw the bullets, radiating red light, shoot back towards him at an even greater speed.

And in his mind flashed an image—of him being struck by these three tainted bullets and exploding instantly, his organs separating, emitting incomprehensible praise, and flying towards the blood-red eyes.

“Damn.”

Colin dodged the bullet attack with a swift sidestep, but the Fishmen kneeling beside him weren’t so lucky.

A few Fishmen hit by the bullets instantly disintegrated, turning into countless pieces of flesh that chanted praises in noisy whispers, flying towards Colin.

However, before they could get close, Colin reached out towards them and grabbed at the air, and a surge of flames erupted, devouring all of the scattered flesh and eradicating all their vitality.

It was exactly at this moment that Colin noticed the flames manipulated by “Revolver Contrarian” seemed to possess an extremely strong erasing effect on the activity of such entities…

And the flames that weren’t under his control didn’t suppress them quite as strongly.

Just then, without waiting for Colin to think further, a pair of large hands suddenly stretched out from the metallic base of the ground, attempting to embrace him.

Colin, as if he had anticipated it, stepped back to dodge the attack.

“Damn, this Red Moon’s ability is really troublesome,” he muttered to himself, “I always feel like even the air could come to life at any moment and slap me across the face or explode inside me…”

Muttering in his heart, Colin punched with flames wrapped around his fist, directly shattering the eerie activity on that thing.

He then aimed at the sea creature and fired again, attempting to strike the deep-sea monster itself.

Unfortunately, even though it didn’t have Divinity, its Ancient God body was still tough; numerous bolts of lightning flickered and directly melted the bullets midair, making it impossible to hit the target.

“Whoosh!”

Thick, terrifying bolts of electricity erupted on the surface of the ten-meter creature from the Deep Sea, attacking Colin. He was ready to use the Golden Card to counter, but before he could act, the lightning dissipated halfway through.

At the same moment, this terrifying being of the Deep Sea trembled on the spot, hugging its numerous tentacle-like limbs to itself, emitting extremely painful sounds, as if it was struggling against something.

“This is, it seems to be fighting against the parasite?” he thought. “No wonder, I was wondering why it just stayed in one place.”

Colin suddenly realized, who would ever want to be parasitized and used by something else?

Yet, despite the involuntary “help” from the opponent, Colin still couldn’t breach its defenses. He didn’t dare to get too close because at close range, once locked on, there was no way to dodge, not even with “Time Stop.”

Colin remembered that the red light could be affected by “Time Stasis,” but the effect was limited, and the chances of failure were significant.

“No good, I can’t hurt it at all right now…”

Colin frowned, but before he could think further, he wrapped himself in flames and quickly dodged to the side. Almost at the same moment, numerous tentacles wrapped in thunder struck the place where he had just been.

The reinforced metal floor was like butter cut by a hot knife, easily pierced with a large hole.

Looking at the large pit shredded by the tentacles in an instant, he felt a chill in his heart.

After narrowly avoiding several attacks, Colin felt the pressure increasing even further. At first, facing the opponent only felt like dealing with a “baby” that had mere strength.

However, as time went on, not only the precision of the monster’s attacks was increasing, but its strength was too.

What this represented was that it was being gradually replaced by the Red Moon.

Once the replacement was complete, this terrifying form wouldn’t stand still as it was now, allowing him to attack at will…

What was even worse for Colin was that, as the remaining Fishmen on the scene were killed from time to time, the effective approval from the “audience” decreased, and he could feel his strength starting to wane.

In the eyes of these Fishmen who had already transformed their life forms, Colin, who could contend with the “Great Will,” was naturally very powerful, constituting what one could consider “effective approval.”

For this reason, he even had to save some of the Fishmen who were crawling and kneeling on the ground.
