However, we weren't really of much help at all...
Despicable, despicable, despicable, despicable...
As the saying goes, you absolutely must win!
The hope for the future rests entirely on you...!
We're going ahead...
------
Time flows on, but the people here can no longer properly perceive the passage of time.
How should I put it...?
Sigh, I can't explain it.
"Ahem... It seems I've been slightly outmatched..."
"Ha, that's normal. Although I'm not good at 'quality,' my excessive 'quantity' is enough to overwhelm everything. Besides, although your body has been tempered a thousand times, it is still a mortal body. Cough... Although it is a bit damaged, it can still be worn. I will gladly accept your armor."
[Common saying] Dragging his bloodied and mangled body, he slowly walked toward a charred figure.
It seems that "Common Says" has won the match.
(Although I really wanted to describe the scene of the waves, I think it's better not to, leaving it to your imagination.)
Wait a minute, the author clearly stated that the titles would be restored after the winner was decided, but why is my name still "Chang Yan"?
Upon realizing that there was a trap, Changyan froze for a moment, then immediately ran back.
He no longer had the strength to fly.
The charred corpse on the ground, draped in tattered armor, opened its eyes, which seemed to burn like the sun.
This is an absolute determination.
"Although I lost the duel, in the end, I am still victorious—"
"This is my last trump card, take this, [Chang Yan]!"
Even in the last moments of his life, Chang Yan still made a joke.
At that moment, the shattered armor completely crumbled into countless fragments, threatening to pierce Chang Yan's body.
"Is this your backup plan? Hahaha, this is absolutely hilarious! AT Domain, open it up—!"
Seeing that Chang Yan's follow-up attack was this kind of attack, Chang Yan laughed loudly with his broken throat and opened his own AT domain.
The golden, polygonal barrier has transformed into an abyss of despair.
Absolute Despair Domain
Upon seeing this scene, Chang Yan burst into hearty laughter.
"Ha, you're the ridiculous one. I told you, I would lead everyone across the abyss."
A red meteor instantly pierced through the AT field and also through Chang Yan's severely injured collarbone.
This is—the Spear of Longinus!
impossible!
I remember this gun was with Michael, but why—
Before Changyan could finish thinking, the fragment pierced his body.
A black void appeared behind Chang Yan, and an incredibly powerful suction force slowly pulled Chang Yan into that black spatial void.
"saying------!"
[Changyan] roared and struggled. The Dark Lord, who was also severely damaged, flew over to try to drag [Changyan] away, but was struck away by a scarlet lightning bolt and helplessly sank into the darkness.
"asshole------!"
Without asking those people why they were helping Changyan, Changyan stretched out his hand forward as if trying to grab something, but the increased suction pulled him back a few steps.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh-"
Now, it was Changyan's turn to lie on the ground, his limbs gripping the earth tightly, waiting for the void to close.
"This is...the last great gift I'm leaving you...forever banished to...the darkness of the universe...a place where even light...can't escape..."
As Chang Yan lay on the ground, he spoke slowly, while displaying a terrifying smile.
"You...cannot be killed. I know that very well."
He spoke faster and faster.
"In the mysterious expanse of eternity, even death itself vanishes. We've already learned this the hard way once. So, we won't repeat the mistake this time..."
Chapter 284 Eat My Common Saying: Face-Breaking Fist!
Jiao Hua Changyan raised his head, then broke one of his teeth and swallowed it.
A strong vitality emanated from Chang Yan's body, and his body visibly and rapidly recovered. The carbonized skin was peeled off layer by layer, revealing his strong and perfect physique.
"As expected of the legendary Life-Creating Pill, although I'd rather call it a super-sized blood potion. Whew~ Power is surging up continuously..."
As Chang Yan was feeling his body refreshed, he suddenly felt something strange in his nose. When he reached out and touched it, he saw that his hand was covered in blood.
Nosebleed.
"Is its vitality too strong? Really."
Chang Yan shook his head helplessly, then looked around, trying to find something to cover himself, only to find that the surroundings were bare, with nothing but the broken ground.
Fine, I'll just stay naked. Anyway, I'm great in every way, and I'm not afraid of being laughed at.
"Damn it! Dam ...
[Chang Yan] roared and struggled wildly, especially after seeing Chang Yan recover from his injuries, the roar grew louder and louder.
Those sacred eyes were filled with a fury powerful enough to set the entire world ablaze.
This leads one to speculate whether, if this "common saying" were released now, he might unleash a terrifying divine punishment upon the world in his rage.
Yes, as the saying goes, people don't care about the consequences when they're venting their anger.
Right now, all he wanted was to shred everyone in front of him to dust.
Yes, everyone!
Friendship? Don't fucking joking with me. What right do these trash have to be my friends?!
This is just the mentality of a homebody from my past life. I'm just curious because I rarely see a real male protagonist!
But what? What have you brought me?
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit! Not only can you not help me with anything, but I have to clean up your messes every day! And now you dare to betray me!
What use are you to me!
Damn it!
The rage burned ever brighter, this boundless fury scorching away at Chang Yan's remaining rationality, threatening to completely engulf him, then to utterly incinerate the world, and finally crush its ashes!
"Ah ah ah ah ah----!"
Completely enraged, Changyan roared like a wild beast once more, managing to resist the hollow suction force for a moment, and pounced on Changyan.
"Ha, close combat? Come on, that's what I'm best at!"
Seeing Chang Yan rush over, Chang Yan laughed instead of getting angry. He delivered a spinning kick to Chang Yan's throat, the force of which shattered Chang Yan's throat, and then kicked back.
"...Do you think I'd die so easily? I've been cramming on physics and chemistry lately!"
(It's fake. I don't even have enough time to write my novel, let alone read those things. This isn't a science fiction novel or Fullmetal Alchemist fanfiction.)
Hidden beneath that fury is an essence of madness taken to the extreme.
Rage? That thing is like the size difference between a tardigrade and a whale compared to my madness—laughably ridiculous!
One by one, bright red gems, as red as blood, appeared in Chang Yan's hands. Then, under the effect of the alchemy array, countless claws and chains shot out in all directions.
At the same time, countless invisible gases began to emanate from Chang Yan's body, drifting in all directions on gentle breezes.
"A fog of delusion!"
He summoned his Stand, unleashed his ability to shrink distances, and strode confidently forward—
The ability didn't react; it seems those bastards set up a spell to block spatial abilities.
However, I had already anticipated this. All those chains were just to block your view!
"Art is an explosion!"
[Chang Yan] shouted in a strange voice, and a pistol appeared in his hand, which he then pulled the trigger towards Chang Yan.
This gun was a reward the government gave him for an operation a long time ago. [Chang Yan] never actually used this gun, but now, he took it out for convenience.
"Ping—"
The pistol spat fire, and bullets flew out.
“BOMM————”
A violent explosion occurred, and thick smoke containing poisonous gas was released.
A figure in white robes, gripping a grappling hook, struggled to run forward.
"Don't even think about escaping—"
As the saying goes, with a loud shout, his blood surged and he strode forward.
The wind was howling, and as Chang Yan approached the figure in white robes, he threw a vicious punch.
The moment the fist touched the white robe, Chang Yan's face lit up with joy, but then his expression changed drastically, and he tried to retreat.
—This feels off!
The figure in white robes had also removed his disguise, revealing himself to be a mysterious man in black robes, his face obscured only by the darkness hidden beneath the endless mist.
—This is what is commonly known as a stand-in!
—Damn it, I've fallen for their trap!
Chang Yan immediately realized he had been tricked, but when he tried to leave, he saw the illusionary fog striding toward him.
The fragments of armor pierced Changyan's body, sealing his spirit and flesh, and ensuring that the void would only attract Changyan.
But this Stand should have been sealed off, right? Did he not recall the defeated Stand before, but instead let it hide?
That's terrifying, I think.
While sighing, Chang Yan endured the attacks of the illusory fog and searched for Chang Yan's figure in the smoke.
"Wind, heed my command—"
A very authoritative voice came, and a gust of wind suddenly descended, blowing away the annoying smoke.
[Chang Yan] was struggling to move forward, clinging to several chains. After realizing that his whereabouts had been completely exposed, he couldn't help but glare venomously at the mage who had come flying in.
He didn't say anything kind or beg for mercy, nor did he utter any curses, but he made a mental note of this guy.
In the future, he will definitely treat this guy and his relatives and friends well, and let him experience eternal pain.
—I will win!
—I will walk out of here unharmed!
—The one who ultimately wins will be the one I always say!
"Stay here—"
"Get the hell out of my way—"
As the saying goes, "He'll throw a punch right away," and "Changyan" raised his hand and delivered a powerful punch.
"Pfft-"
"Gah—"
Both of their fists landed on each other's faces.
