Rise of the Zerg in the World of Gods

Chapter 145: Striving to Win at All Costs



However, he didn't know that in this world, there was a species called Zerg that could plunder others' genes.

So the current misunderstanding wasn't surprising at all.

Anyone who saw this would likely come to the same conclusion.

Using behemoth strength and being able to use magic, if not a Golden Behemoth, what else could it be?

"So what if it's a Golden Behemoth?" Moloudo stuck his staff into the ground, clasped his hands together, and instantly, endless light radiated from his body.

His pupils turned golden at this moment.

"I'll disable your eyes first, let's see how you fight then."

It was no secret that behemoths disliked light. For such powerful creatures, every civilization naturally studied their strengths and weaknesses thoroughly.

So when encountering behemoths, various light powers became the first choice. Even without light powers, fire powers were used to deal with them.

But Moloudo didn't know that Xu Luo had only used behemoth power briefly earlier, and had already switched to something else.

The chopping knife in his hand turned completely red, and in an instant, he directly approached his opponent and slashed.

Moloudo, having fought countless times, reacted very quickly, raising his staff to block.

However, the next moment, he threw the staff away.

His figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared dozens of meters away.

At this point, his palm was a bloody mess, and the wound showed signs of continuous spread.

"Undying Flame?" Moloudo was shocked.

It was behemoth power just now. How did it suddenly become the phoenix's Undying Flame?

He wasn't careful for a moment, and when the staff contacted the chopping knife, the Undying Flame spread to him.

Although he had thrown away the staff promptly, it was still too late.

At this moment, Moloudo was very decisive. An invisible knife appeared in front of him, directly cutting off both his palms.

The pain from the severed palms made him grunt involuntarily.

The spectators were very surprised to see Moloudo suffer such a loss after just a brief exchange.

They didn't understand Xu Luo's background.

Some quick-witted individuals even started inquiring about his background.

This could potentially be a future star of the arena!

If they placed bets now, they might get substantial returns.

A burst of starlight descended from the sky, enveloping Moloudo entirely.

Xu Luo attempted to attack but was directly repelled by the starlight, unable to reach Moloudo himself.

The starlight only appeared for a moment. When it disappeared, Moloudo reappeared, completely restored.

"I was careless!" With a wave of his hand, he retrieved his staff. Moloudo's expression was very serious.

"I'm a battle priest, but I'm also a mage!"

As he spoke, lightning flickered around him, as if the Thunder God had descended.

Xu Luo currently had a mantis appearance. If it were his real body, his hair would probably have curled up under the electric arcs.

The other was obviously about to use a powerful move, and Xu Luo naturally wouldn't foolishly wait for the attack in place.

At this moment, he quickly switched his talent, directly giving himself the talent and power of a blue dragon.

Although he couldn't possess it for long, just using it briefly was enough.

He didn't have the genes of the Hellfire Dragon with lightning attributes, but facing lightning, water attributes could also neutralize it.

Mainly because lightning power was relatively rare, and he hadn't obtained the genes of creatures with lightning power like Thunder Behemoths or Thunder Nagas.

On this side, after switching to the blue dragon talent, Xu Luo quickly set up various water-based magical protections to neutralize the electric shock.

He had just finished these preparations when a terrifying lightning beam descended from the sky, enveloping half of the arena.

Moloudo was far away; otherwise, he would have been within the attack range himself.

After the lightning struck, the arena was covered in smoke, as if immersed in fog.

Moloudo knew Xu Luo wouldn't be easily dealt with, so he plunged into the fog with various magical shields on his body.

As soon as he entered the fog, Moloudo felt he was being watched, as if some terrifying existence was staring at him from the darkness.

Moloudo in the arena couldn't see the situation in the mist, but the audience watching wasn't affected by this mist ability and could clearly see everything happening on the field.

At this moment, everyone was puzzled.

What exactly was Xu Luo's ability?

At first, they, like Moloudo, thought it was a Golden Behemoth, but then he clearly used phoenix power, followed by blue dragon power, and now he was using mirage power, hiding in the mist.

Obviously, none of these were his true abilities.

But to say he possessed all these powers simultaneously was impossible, because he only used each power once and didn't use it again.

It seemed more like he had recorded these powers and was now releasing them.

Or it could be a mimicking ability, only able to mimic one ability at a time.

Such abilities did exist.

In the World of Gods, with myriad species, there were all kinds of abilities. Some being proficient in mimicry wasn't surprising.

At first, when Xu Luo was wildly slashing with his chopping knife, everyone thought he was a close-combat fighter.

But now that he had truly brought out his trump cards, they realized he actually possessed many abilities and techniques.

"Ha—" Moloudo, in the mist, had been constantly attacked by various mist-formed assaults, and finally couldn't help but let out a shout.

Power surged, directly dispersing the surrounding mist.

At this moment, Xu Luo was less than three meters away from him, his chopping knife just needing to get a bit closer to slash him.

"Many techniques, quite skillful!" Moloudo slowly retracted his divine light, praising.

As he spoke, he stepped forward, not pulling away but getting closer to Xu Luo.

Xu Luo, facing him, felt a sense of danger and hurriedly retreated.

"Too late!" Moloudo laughed loudly, directly bursting out with dazzling light!

"I can't lose, so I can only ask you to lose. You still have a bright future, while I've reached my limit. If I lose, I'll have nothing left. We're different!"

To protect everything he currently had, he had to win, to keep winning.

After getting used to a luxurious life, who could go back to eating chaff and vegetables?

Light!

Extreme light filled the entire arena, instantly dazzling Moloudo's eyes.

Light was gentle, one of the sources of existence for all living beings.

The light descending at this moment was also warm.

A huge figure opened its arms, as if wanting to embrace Xu Luo.

Giant light wings formed from light encircled into a ring, directly blocking all the divine spells Moloudo had unleashed.

"Angel's Protection?" Moloudo cried out involuntarily.

This was an angelic secret technique, only they could use it.

It was a blessing from the Lord of Light to them.

Had he seen wrong?

Now someone had actually used this move.

His expression showed a slight daze.

This battle had too great an impact on him. These were all abilities of top-tier creatures, but they were all concentrated in one person. Now, even the ability of the mythical creature, angels, had appeared.

Was the world too crazy, or had he fallen behind?

As the strongest battle priest in the novice area, in terms of individual strength, he wasn't the strongest, but when it came to being troublesome, he could definitely rank in the top ten.

Being able to skillfully use various divine spells and blessing spells, he had many techniques, often giving opponents headaches.

Many people said fighting him was a form of torture.

Their strength might not be weaker than his, but they might not be able to beat him. Even if they could, it would require a lot of energy. Rather than fighting him, it would be better to fight ten quick matches with another opponent.

But now, the situation had reversed. He felt fighting Xu Luo was a form of torture.

Both used various techniques, exchanging blows back and forth, fighting spectacularly. The spectators also found it thrilling, with various rewards flying around.

At first, Xu Luo had the upper hand, but when Moloudo used his trump card, using the God Descent technique, which was like going berserk, even though Xu Luo used various top-tier creature abilities, he couldn't quite hold on.

At this point, their battle was more about comparing their own strength, especially their control over power.

The scars on both of them kept increasing.

But they both had their own beliefs, both wanting to win.

Moloudo was fighting for his future life.

Xu Luo's thoughts were very simple: someone had bet one million star coins on him!

How much money was that?

Ten billion credit points!

A bottle of cola only cost fifteen, a pound of meat only fifty. How much meat and cola could ten billion buy!

An ordinary worker's monthly salary was about two hundred. Ten billion could pay the monthly salaries of fifty million people, supporting fifty million families!

How could he lose here like this!

Although this money had nothing to do with him, it absolutely couldn't be lost because of him.

By the end, both had become spent arrows, no longer able to use any magic, only fighting in the most primitive way, with their bodies.

Xu Luo's chopping knife slashed Moloudo, while he was also hit hard by the staff.

Both fell down at the same time, then struggled to get up.

Xu Luo's mantis body image was thin, and the places hit by the staff had caved in.

Moloudo wasn't much better off, with blood flowing from where he had been slashed.

At this point, they were both persevering solely on willpower.

Xu Luo sincerely thanked Zhang Jian. If not for the experiences of repeatedly breaking through his limits at No. 1 High School, he would have given up long ago.

He also greatly admired Moloudo. He was actually cheating in a way, repeatedly borrowing the power of other creatures. Otherwise, he would have given up long ago. Yet Moloudo still hadn't fallen.

Both struggled to stand up and attack, then fell down again.

However, after falling once more, Moloudo finally didn't get up again.

After all, he was a magic-type profession. Although his close combat ability was fiercer than many warriors, there was one unchangeable problem: he was fragile.

When he still had magic power earlier, he didn't need to consider these issues. But when all magic power was exhausted and they needed to engage in close combat, the mage's fragile weakness was exposed.

It wasn't really extremely fragile, but a mage simply couldn't compare to a warrior of the same level.

Xu Luo wasn't actually much better than Moloudo, but he had been constantly borrowing the abilities of physically strong creatures, literally outlasting his opponent.

Additionally, when borrowing the abilities of those powerful creatures, he would enjoy powerful recovery abilities. As long as Moloudo didn't directly smash him to death, he could persist. Moloudo, on the other hand, relied on his own recovery ability, but he was actually at a disadvantage in terms of weapons.

The staff's damage when hitting wasn't low, but in this kind of endurance battle, the wounds from slashing bled continuously.

Rather than saying he was outlasted by Xu Luo, it's more accurate to say he bled to death.

Regardless, the result was out. Xu Luo had won the final victory.

Spectators on both sides gave enthusiastic applause for this battle, followed by various rewards.

Those who lost their bets didn't mind; betting was just for fun, and even if they won, they wouldn't get much.

The only angry one should be the person who bet one million, but at this point, no one was paying attention to him anymore.

When the winner was decided, that money was directly sent to the corresponding person.

At this moment, the audience was in a frenzy, recommending this battle to others everywhere, letting more people know about such a spectacular battle.

After winning, Xu Luo directly exited the arena. In reality, lying in the game pod, he was now soaked in sweat from head to toe.

This was definitely the most intense battle he had ever experienced.

Using all his skills, he finally won relying on his special identity.

Without this ability to borrow other creatures' powers, he couldn't have beaten Moloudo at all.

This battle was fierce and exhilarating. For him, the gains were numerous.

However, now sleep was the most important thing of all.

Having exhausted his mental strength, he didn't want anything else and directly fell into a deep sleep in the game pod.

But the storm he had triggered was just beginning.

Across the universe, countless civilizations took notice of this battle.

Not to mention the various techniques used by both sides during the battle, which could be said to be the ceiling of the current level, just the various creature abilities Xu Luo used were enough to attract their attention.

No one could influence the consciousness of the World of Gods, so various civilizations could only inquire about this person's identity through various channels.

If possible, they would try to recruit him. The All-Race Conference was about to begin, and it was another round of benefit distribution. At this time, all geniuses were worth recruiting.

Of course, if recruitment was truly impossible, then they would directly eliminate him. Such a person couldn't become their opponent and affect benefit distribution.

In such matters, every civilization was very tacit. Every year, they eliminated countless geniuses from other civilizations.

Everyone had been doing this for so many years, no one mentioned it.

On the human side, everyone knew Wild Slash Street was human, but faced with such a major issue, no one sold out his identity to exchange benefits with alien races.

Of course, it might also be because they didn't know the specific identity yet, just knowing he was human wasn't useful.
