Multiverse Skill System

This was the thought that popped into Yi Shuihan's mind when he saw Carmen's posture. Without a doubt, Carmen in front of him was much stronger than the Hero King. The fluctuations emitted by those weapons were all high-end products. Even the worst one could deal with a Gold 1-star. The Hero King's full strength was probably not as good as any one of the weapons here.

"That's outrageous! What is that? That's so unfair!"

"Wow, what a tycoon! So many treasures, even a True Saint shouldn't be able to possess them."

"Isn't he afraid of being robbed because he's so arrogant?"

Now that you mention it, I'd like to try and snatch it too, but it's obvious I can't win!

"This is putting Yi Shuihan in a bad situation."

Yi Shuihan's classmates were filled with worry, while Carmen's classmates were all very excited.

"As expected of Carmen, she is indeed very strong."

"Look there, those trashy guys over there are all scared pale."

"We've got this in the bag! Even if Senior Constantine can't do anything to Carmen right now!"

Carmen wore a faint smile, showing no hurry to defeat Yi Shuihan. In his view, he had already revealed his true strength, and Yi Shuihan was definitely no match for him.

The only thing that puzzled Carmen was that he didn't see any panic on Yi Shuihan's face. He naturally didn't know that Yi Shuihan was confident in his own strength, which was why he was so calm.

"He's probably faking it. This is a virtual battlefield; even if you die, you're not really dead. Is he trying to maintain a semblance of dignity?"

Carmen automatically imagined what Yi Shuihan was thinking at that moment.

Yi Shuihan had no idea what Carmen was thinking. If he did, he could only tell her, "You're overthinking it."

"Do you need my help?"

Lu's figure appeared behind Yi Shuihan at some point, his voice sounding cold, yet warm to Yi Shuihan.

"Another one is coming, but unfortunately the Shadow Clan's attacks are useless against me. There are no blind spots on my body."

Carmen was surrounded by dazzling light, with no shadows to provide any glimpse into the Shadow Clan's legends. Moreover, even if one managed to pass through, they would be attacked from all sides, which was a perfect counter to the Shadow Clan's fighting style.

Of course, the Shadow Clan also has its own way of dealing with this kind of battle. When the Shadow Clan's secret techniques are cultivated to a high level, they can hide directly in the shadows of space. And the shadows of space are everywhere. At that time, the Shadow Clan will hardly rely on the shadows in the open. Carmen obviously does not think that Lu can reach that level.

Carmen was talking to himself, and Lu didn't even bother to look at him, waiting for Yi Shuihan's reply.

"I don't need your help. I can handle him by myself. You go and deal with the others, otherwise we'll probably only have the three of us left in a while."

At this time, the battle had already begun in Yi Shuihan's rear, and he was being driven back by several freshmen from the fourth floor of the Tower of Babel.

"it is good!"

The words were still lingering in the air when the sound of killing had already disappeared.

"Is it really okay to just let him walk away like this?"

"Hmph, if they can't even handle a mere Shadow Clan member, then they're truly a bunch of useless trash. You should worry about yourself!"

Tens of thousands of weapons rained down on Yi Shuihan like a meteor shower, a sight far more spectacular than the arrow rain of a large army in battle. It was not only spectacular, but also carried a strange, deathly beauty.

A deafening explosion rang out, sending up plumes of smoke that spread rapidly in all directions. The intense energy reaction interfered with perception, making it impossible to know what was happening at the center of the explosion.

"do you died?"

Carmen also didn't know the true situation of Yi Shuihan, but in his mind, Yi Shuihan should be dead.

"No one died!"

The sound came from Carmen's ear, causing him to reflexively fly a distance to the side. When he turned his head, he found Yi Shuihan smiling at him from where he had been standing.

"When did he appear there? I didn't even have time to react. If he had attacked me earlier, I would have been..."

Carmen was so frightened that he almost broke out in a cold sweat. This time, he finally stopped underestimating Yi Shuihan and regarded him as a formidable opponent. Of course, in his mind, as long as he didn't let his guard down, he still had a better chance of winning.

Chapter 1250, The Hidden, Chuunibyou Mountain King

"I admit I underestimated you. You'll regret not striking earlier. I'm going to use all my strength now, and you won't have another chance."

Carmen said with a solemn expression.

Why should I wait for you to make the first move?

Yi Shuihan suddenly smiled strangely, his figure disappeared from Carmen's sight, and his voice appeared in Carmen's ear again as before.

"Oops!"

A sense of foreboding shot through his heart, but Carmen no longer had the chance to leave the spot as before; Yi Shuihan did not give him that time.

With just one punch to Carmen's stomach, Carmen was knocked out of her enhanced Hero King mode. The enhanced Gate of Babylon behind her disappeared, and she was hunched over, her hands pressed against her abdomen, looking like she was about to vomit.

Without warning, the three orbs of light surrounding Carmen shot toward Yi Shuihan at an extremely fast speed, but Yi Shuihan easily dodged them all.

"hateful."

A hint of resentment flashed in Carmen's eyes, as if she really had no other choice.

"You can't fool me with such a little trick."

Yi Shuihan swung his hand a few times, slapping the three orbs of light that had turned back down below. Instantly, three mushroom clouds, comparable to nuclear explosions, rose from below. It must be said that the energy contained in these three orbs was truly astonishing; each one was capable of severely injuring a True Saint.

"Actually, you were quite good at pretending. It's just that I wasn't really looking at you just now. I usually don't get distracted when I'm fighting."

Yi Shuihan was telling the truth. Carmen's performance just now was completely for show. The move of attacking from behind with those three light orbs was actually not bad. However, Yi Shuihan noticed it from the beginning. With Yi Shuihan's combat experience, he would not make such a basic mistake. The light orbs could be controlled in direction. Yi Shuihan had guessed this from the start.

Even though he didn't see it, Yi Shuihan heard it and could deduce the previous situation from Carmen's reaction. This is why Yi Shuihan said Carmen's act was convincing.

"Your only mistake was not solving my problem immediately."

A vortex appeared around Yi Shuihan from all sides, and six silver chains bound him up. Carmen straightened up again, a smug look on his face.

"Heaven's Lock?"

"Oh! You know their names too, so you should also know that once you're bound by the Chains of Heaven, you're destined to be unable to break free unless you can unleash ten times more power than me."

Carmen seemed confident of victory and wasn't in a hurry at all, explaining things to Yi Shuihan as if she were showing off.

"It really is the Lock of Heaven, but it's slightly different. Is it just a coincidence of names?"

The Chains of Heaven mentioned by Yi Shuihan refers to the Chains of Heaven of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes. It is a treasure that serves as a "restraint against the gods." The higher the divinity of the captured person, the harder the chains become, making it more difficult to break free. It is one of the very few anti-god weapons.

The one in front of us is also called the Chains of Heaven, but its effect is completely different. It can bind a captured person who is no more than 10 times stronger than its user.

Yi Shuihan could feel strange energies emanating from the chains, trying to invade his body, but they were blocked by his Chaotic Body and had no effect whatsoever.

“You punched me just now, so it’s my turn to do it. But I won’t be so rough. I’ll let you try it.”

Carmen stretched out his hands, clenched his fists, and then his fists emitted a golden light, revealing a pair of exquisitely crafted full-body suits on his fists.

"This looks familiar! Hmm, let me think... that's right, isn't this the space gauntlet worn by the loser protagonist of a certain Katekyo Hitman Reborn!? It really looks like it. First it was Gate of Babylonia, then Chains of Heaven, and now this gauntlet. What a knock-off king!"

This internal monologue manifested outwardly as Yi Shuihan staring at Carmen's boxing gloves with a look of astonishment.

Fortunately, Carmen didn't strike a pose like a protagonist unleashing a powerful attack next, but instead used the most basic swing. Otherwise, Yi Shuihan would have been inwardly cursing again.

"boom"

The gauntlets struck Yi Shuihan's body with a loud thud, and a tremendous force erupted at the point of contact, spiraling and surging wildly into Yi Shuihan's body, but it still did not shake the Chaos Body in the slightest.

"Oh ho, you're still tough, aren't you? You can really hold your tongue! I hope you can keep going. These gloves aren't for increasing strength, but for generating a strange kind of force. Once the force enters your body, it will have a special effect, producing an itchy sensation. This itchy sensation is not pleasant, like having thousands of ants crawling all over your body."

"For us, the itch of a million ants on our bodies is tolerable, but what about the itch of the soul?"

Carmen, like a typical villain, said things that were courting death, completely unaware that Yi Shuihan was looking at him strangely.

"This is the hidden chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) attribute. Compared to Ba Tianhun's overt chuunibyou, this kind of chuunibyou is even more terrifying! Fortunately, he and I are not roommates, nor are we in the same class."

After taking a punch, Yi Shuihan had no intention of continuing. He wasn't a masochist; part of the reason he took that punch was because he was stunned by the design of the boxing gloves.

He activated his Chaos Body, and power surged within his body, impacting the chains. The originally incredibly strong chains became extremely fragile under the impact of this fierce power, shattering like a counterfeit product.

A hand caught Carmen's outstretched fist, and Yi Shuihan's cold eyes met Carmen's bewildered and incredulous gaze.

"Alright, you're no longer fit to play. You should leave now!"

With a sudden burst of strength, Yi Shuihan crushed Carmen's gauntlets and hands, leaving her no time to even scream in pain. Her other fist landed on Carmen, who was instantly obliterated like sand and forced to retreat from the battlefield.

"How is this possible? Boss Carmen was actually...?"

Those who had been watching this side were utterly shocked to see Yi Shuihan's figure. Just a moment ago, Carmen had the upper hand and was tormenting Yi Shuihan, but the next moment, Yi Shuihan had completely defeated him. The change in the situation was too fast, and they couldn't accept it at all.

"Great! Yi Shuihan won. The strongest ones have all been taken down, and there's nothing left."

Chapter 1251, The Resilient Overlord Soul

As Yi Shuihan kicked Carmen out of the arena, the momentum of Yi Shuihan's side soared. Even though there were only 9 people left on Yi Shuihan's side and 18 on the other side, the difference of two times was the same. The side with fewer people actually seemed to have the upper hand.

Apart from Yi Shuihan, Ba Tianhun, and Lu, the other students were weaker, which is why so many were killed in such a short time.

"Huh? It didn't collapse! Well, it's not like they're really dying anyway. Killing one is better than nothing, it'll be more interesting."

Looking up in the direction of Ba Tianhun, they found that the attacks of the 10 new students from the fourth floor of the Tower of Ba Tianhun had not slowed down, but had become even more fierce. Ba Tianhun could barely hold on before, but now he was being attacked from time to time, and the situation was not good.

"Brother Han, come help me quickly!"

Ba Tianhun shouted loudly, but Yi Shuihan put down the foot he had raised, then turned around and silently went to rescue the other classmates.

"People with bad memories should just die first!"

With Yi Shuihan, the powerful figure who killed Carmen, making a move, the freshmen, whose strength far surpassed Carmen's, were naturally powerless to resist and were easily killed by Yi Shuihan. They couldn't even self-destruct, because Yi Shuihan would end their lives before that.

In less than 3 minutes, apart from the 10 who were besieging Batianhun, all the other opposing freshmen had entered the fray, and Yi Shuihan's side was able to free up their hands again.

Lu seemed to notice Yi Shuihan's thoughts and did not help Ba Tianhun. He stood there at a distance, like a statue.

As for the other students, their strength is completely insufficient to participate. They would probably be killed without even making a move. For someone with the strength of a level 4 student in the Tower of Babel to kill someone with the strength of a level 3 student is not much more difficult than a person killing a chicken.

"Why not go help Ba Tianhun?"

One of the students mustered up the courage to ask Yi Shuihan a question.

"As the leader of the Overlord Gang, his strength is far more than this. Don't be fooled by his current disadvantage; he hasn't even shown his full power yet. If he really needs help, he will definitely ask."

Yi Shuihan explained it this way.

"Something feels off!"

The student muttered to himself but didn't say anything more. In his opinion, he was sure he would win this virtual battle, so there was no need to dwell on the details. If Ba Tianhun lost, Yi Shuihan could just take his place.

With Yi Shuihan watching from the side, the new students who were besieging Ba Tianhun were also a little scared. They had to spare some attention to guard against Ba Tianhun so that he could have a little time to recover.

After fighting for a while, seeing that Yi Shuihan really had no intention of intervening, the hostile freshmen intensified their attacks on Ba Tianhun, leaving Ba Tianhun in a very sorry state.

"Brother Han, come help quickly! I promised I'd only handle eight, ten is really too much for me!"

"How can a man say he can't do it? You have to believe in yourself, and I believe in you too. Keep going, you can do it."

Yi Shuihan encouraged him, his face full of trust in Ba Tianhun.

He held on for a few more minutes.

"Brother Han, I really can't go on. If you don't come soon, I won't be able to hold on any longer."

"You must persevere! As an assistant to the Overlord Gang, you can do it. If you fail, I will avenge you."

"..."

At this moment, the other freshmen also sensed Yi Shuihan's malice. Although Ba Tianhun was a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), he wasn't stupid and naturally noticed it as well.

Finally, with one of his arms broken, Ba Tianhun's mind cleared considerably. He understood the cause and effect and shouted loudly.

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"Will you still call me 'Brother Han' from now on?"

"I won't shout anymore, I absolutely won't shout anymore."

"Given the serious mistake you made, I think you can hold out for another 3 minutes. Do you hear me? I'm going to make my move in 3 minutes. If you want to kill him, go all out now."

Yi Shuihan's words made the surrounding classmates shudder and look at him fearfully. He was too ruthless. Wouldn't saying that force the other side to take drastic measures?

Sure enough, the other side really went all out, with some even risking injury for injury, and one even went so far as to self-destruct.

Three minutes later, Ba Tianhun was in a terrible state, covered in wounds, and looked like he could die at any moment.

"You're so strong! If it were me, I'd rather die than suffer like this."

One of the students looked at Ba Tianhun with admiration and said.

When Yi Shuihan entered the arena, he was already exhausted from fighting the nine new students who had fought against the Overlord Heavenly Soul. The students were killed by Yi Shuihan with almost no resistance, as if they knew they couldn't win and were deliberately throwing their lives away.

Compared to Ba Tianhun's disheveled state, Yi Shuihan's killing style was flamboyant, taking down enemies one by one with ease. He was simply incredibly cool, and the difference was immediately apparent.

"It's a wonder you could last 3 minutes."
