Chapter 195: Gu Ding Who Got Caught In The Middle Of A Fight

“Boom! Boom! Boom! …”

Violent, catastrophic booming vibrated from afar. It sounded like thunder as it swept in from the distant horizon.

The giant and python flashed through the air nonstop, every flash was met with a violent collision. The collision between them was also crazy. Each impact brought about a fierce roar, giving people a sense of mountains collapsing. Nothing was intact wherever the two had passed under the energetic shock of the impact.

The earth cracked, mountains collapsed, trees smashed, and rivers evaporated…

Standing at the top of the building, Gu Ding could even feel the ground shaking under his feet, where he was in fact more than two hundred kilometers away from the battlefield.

Since this was only the projection of the deity’s will, there were many abilities that he could not use. Besides, it was not hard to tell from the strength of his body that this guy was a close combat martial artist, so it did not surprise Gu Ding that he was engaged in close combat like that.

Under the resolution of the intelligent glasses, the speed of the two was slowed down by nearly ten thousand times and Gu Ding could finally capture their movements with his eyes.

According to Neptune’s calculations, in less than five minutes of combat, the two collided an average of more than eight hundred thousand times a second. On top of that, the time period accounts for more than just the collision. It also includes the time it took for both to move through the air, dodge, and make other movements.

The fabled indestructible Leoben Prison was completely destroyed in the aftermath of the battle. Carbide alloy could still only withstand forces lesser than a demigod at best. With this deity’s level of strength, it was as fragile as glass under a hammer–it absorbed less than three energy shocks before collapsing.

The collapse of Leoben Prison gave people an idea of what other ordinary buildings would look like. Fortunately, Leoben Prison was located in the northern outskirts of the city, not a residential neighborhood. There were no casualties other than those who passed out in prison.

As Gu Ding looked at the cracked ground, he finally got a grasp of the deity’s terrifying power. Both the deity’s projection and the python collided in midair–never touching the ground, but for nearly twenty kilometers, almost no piece of ground was intact. Each violent shock caused by the wave of energy caused the ground to shake violently. The ground ruptured amidst the shaking.

“How strong. I could feel a strong vibration from so far away, it was like an earthquake took place.” Gu Ding could not help exclaiming.

“An actual deity’s fight is enough to make a whole planet tremble. This fight is a notch lower, because one is only a projection of will, and the other one is not even a complete god item. You are standing about two hundred thirty kilometers from the center of the battle ring right now, and based on the vibrations of your current position, I’ve calculated that you would still feel subtle tremors on the ground about three thousand and six hundred kilometers away.” Neptune revealed the results of his calculations. He was indeed very boring right now.

A deity’s will projection usually comes with a time limit–usually not very long. Weaker deities might not even last half an hour. The deity seemed a little anxious after nearly twenty minutes of not being able to take the god item down. He finally used an ability he was reluctant to use.

Gu Ding saw through his glasses that as the snake launched a new wave of impact, it suddenly slowed down after reaching some distance from the deity’s will projection. Besides that, the will’s projection attack speed was more than ten times faster.

There was a loud crash, and the python was knocked upside down by the blow.

“What happened?” Gu Ding did not understand at all. The two were neck and neck before, and it was as if the deity had suddenly become stronger, with no warning.

“It’s a combat effectiveness field. There are many different types of combat effectiveness fields. The one he used is the martial arts field. Within a certain distance, he can suppress the opponent’s speed and strength, and enhance their own speed and strength. ” Neptune explained.

“Being able to suppress opponents while simultaneously improving yourself, and not just against one person… This ability is just too awesome.” Gu Ding could not help sighing.

“Of course, force-field abilities tend to evolve from other abilities. Very few people have an innate force field. In the entire Cosmic Sea, there are more than thirty million known special human abilities, less than three hundred of which can evolve into force fields. Of your current five special abilities, only rage ability can evolve into a rage field.” Neptune’s explanation put into perspective the uniqueness of this ability.

“It looks like the python is going to lose.” Gu Ding knew that if it went on like this, there would be no doubt as to the outcome of the fight. “I just don’t know if the deity will leave immediately after he gets it.”

At the same time that Gu Ding made this judgment, the deity’s projection also moved. Without giving the python any breathing space, he kept throwing devastating punches. Under the suppression of the force field, the python had no resistance. After all, it was an incomplete god item. In the absence of a host, it could only fight by instinct. Relying on his instinct to fight, he could easily run over those who were weaker than him. However, when facing an opponent who was stronger than him, for example, this deity’s will projection, it would be defeated once the opponent figured out its attack patterns.

At last, with nearly a hundred blows, the python’s body finally collapsed and turned into tiny black snakes, which fled in every direction. Even in defeat, it seemed unwilling to give in and fled.

Seeing this reaction from the chain, the deity’s projection was stunned but quickly reacted. He cursed and once again attacked, crushing most of the small black snake-like chains. Then he locked on to the direction of the remaining eight chains and went after the direction of the first chain…

One of the chains sprang out in Gu Ding’s direction.

The chain was like a small black snake. It leaped out extremely fast. It arrived within seconds from a distance that was more than two hundred kilometers away. Before Gu Ding could react, the black chain rushed into his body.

“Damn it! The chain will not acknowledge the deity as its master and has chosen you instead.” Neptune immediately responded. “That deity is going to come after you next.”

“Is that considered an unexpected calamity?” Gu Ding was speechless at the prospect of this. He was only an onlooker who was more than two hundred kilometers away, he did not expect to be involved. “I just wanted to see what the commotion was… How did this happen?”

“We cannot escape. The deity had left his mark on the eight chains just now. He can instantly know where we are. Running away would only anger him…” No sooner had Neptune uttered these words, a huge figure appeared in front of Gu Ding.

Floating in midair, the deity’s projection looked down at Gu Ding. “You’re the boy who’s been watching us fight? You stole the god item?!”

“He came leaping in on his own.” Gu Ding found the word “stole” offensive.

“Is that so? Do you mean that he would rather choose a mortal for his master than a deity like me?” The deity was visibly displeased.

“It was a choice he made. I don’t have to explain myself.” Gu Ding did not like the deity’s condescending attitude although he was indeed stronger than him and could easily kill him with a single pinch.

Upon hearing this, the deity’s projection pondered for a moment. ‘A god item with a complete consciousness would not simply acknowledge anyone as its master. There must be something in this boy that attracted the god item. Let’s see what this guy’s secret is, and if it’s right, I’ll obliterate his mind and take over his body. This way, I will not only get a split-body for nothing but also get the god item.’

Thinking of this, he suddenly reached out his palm and put it over Gu Ding’s head. Gu Ding instantly felt that his body could not move, and a strange energy began to infiltrate his body at the same time.

“This guy has infiltrated your body with soul energy to check out your special abilities. Once he finds out that you own taboo energy, he will definitely choose to abandon the will projection and use soul energy to possess you. He has now barred your body, and the chain’s weapon spirit cannot escape from your body any time soon. Once he’s done possessing, he can use your body to slowly refine the chain. For him, not only has he acquired a rare split-body, but also the god item, killing two birds with one stone.” Neptune immediately understood his intentions.

Gu Ding may be able to hear Neptune, but he could not respond. He could not even move his lips. In fact, he could do nothing but blink.

The deity’s soul energy quickly explored Gu Ding’s body. Gu Ding’s soul space was not small, but that was relative to someone in his rank. Compared to a deity’s soul space, his soul space was miniature. In less than three seconds, the deity found what it wanted in Gu Ding’s soul space.

It was a huge execution pillar, grounded in Gu Ding’s soul space. It was entirely black, and it was engraved with complex ciphertext. The deity was momentarily stunned. “Taboo energy… The kid had such a horrible thing in his body. No wonder the chain chose him…”

He walked toward the depths of the soul space with some reluctance because that was where Gu Ding’s soul’s original body was hidden. Once he killed Gu Ding’s soul’s original body, this body with taboo energy would be his…
