Chapter 1098 The weak and the strong
a few minutes ago.

Dead Sea

The Dead Sea, which should have dried up, barely accumulated a water level of 100 meters after a rainstorm full of murderous intent.

The kingdom of the dead, which should have been quiet, seemed a little lively.

The noisy sounds actually came from the center of the Dead Sea, the [Sunken Palace of the Dead]. Not only was there noise inside, but there was even a photo studio and various lighting equipment.

Because of the connection of the Tenth Disaster,

Even though the crew members were killed by Hannibal, because Yi Chen was right next to them, they were still swept into the Dead Sea after their death and came here as special dead people.

They are currently visiting the Hall of the Dead, and the director wants to take photos of this beautiful scene. If he wants to leave in the future, he will set the scene according to the photos and try to shoot a magical blockbuster.

in addition,

The Sunken Palace of the Dead also has additional changes.
A golden lung tens of meters long was hanging in the center of the Hall of Death, above the gallows throne of the Hanged King, through trachea that penetrated the roof.

Contaminated by death, the surface of the golden lungs was covered with black blood vessels, and the golden and black auras were intertwined.

As the master, Yi Chen (main consciousness) is not here.
Yi Chen, with a strong murderous aura emanating from his body and even his hair fluttering, was floating above the sea level.

Sit cross-legged with your hands clasped at your dantian, and look at the entire ocean with a wide-angle vision of the qi sea.

The trachea extending from the top of the Temple of the Dead are distributed to four different areas of the Dead Sea.

Buried in the depression on the east side of the sea is a huge and living white jade heart, which has been dyed half black by the immersion of sea water.

Every beat of the heart causes a slight vibration in the Dead Sea, making this dead sea area come alive.

There is a huge liver like a dead dragon buried among the mountains in the sea on the south side, which makes dragon roars from time to time. Some substances that fall into the Dead Sea and are difficult to degrade will be sent here to be digested by the dead dragon. You can even find the descendants of dead dragons around the mountains.

There is a living island shaped like a baby floating in the sea on the west side. It is actually a kidney. Any seawater flowing through here will be thoroughly filtered and purified, thus purifying the Dead Sea.

If someone lands on the island, they will find that all the vegetation here looks like babies, and they may even encounter a mother holding a dead baby asking for directions.

There are ruins of an abandoned city in the sea on the north side. If you get closer, you can see that there seems to be a translucent yellow spleen in the center of the city, like an oversized warehouse filled with high-purity black seawater for emergency use.

The dead people living in the city all have black blood bags hanging on their bodies that can store blood.

When these golden bodies of dirty gods were first introduced, they had extremely strong rejection reactions to each other.

But as they were buried in the Dead Sea, all were dyed black with death, and became part of the ocean, their mutual rejection reaction gradually weakened.

Finally, under the adjustment of the golden lungs and the adjustment of the mental method given by Tianzun, Yi Chen finally completed the perfect integration of the five internal organs.

Yi Chen lowered his hands from his dantian, feeling the wholeness while flying higher into the sky until he reached the highest point of the Dead Sea world.

When he looked down at the sea again,

What appeared before my eyes was no longer the completely dark and quiet ocean.

Rather, it is a "black human figure" with a human structure that can carry out physiological activities, or a true representation of the dead.

This is completely different from Hannibal's idea.
In Yi Chen's eyes, [people] are the most perfect and pure.

Whether it is a weak human being, a sick person or a god, they are all in human form. This is by no means a constraint, but a perfect form obtained after countless years of selection.

What Yi Chen is doing now is to further improve on the basis of human beings and raise the upper limit to the limit of the current universe.

In a trance,
He seemed to feel a "membrane" blocking him, which could not be seen or touched.

Once this membrane is broken through, one may be able to rewrite the future or even directly intervene in the direction of the entire universe.

"This feeling... seems like as long as I penetrate this membrane, I will be able to transcend? I can't find a way out at all. Let's deal with the matter at hand first."

Back to reality,

The black line closing Yi Chen's eyelids peeled off automatically.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Hannibal launching a fatal attack towards him. The opponent had completely lost his basic human form.

Yi Chen did not rush to dodge or parry, but tilted his head in confusion, looking at the monstrous-looking Hannibal in front of him.

He could feel that after this seemingly strange and inhuman transformation, Hannibal had improved in all aspects, especially in speed and strength.

But the actual feeling it gave Yi Chen was much weaker, and was completely inferior to the state of ease when he first switched to [Prisoner] and his limbs were bound.

If you think about it carefully, there may be two reasons for this "weakness".

One is that Yi Chen's own "upper limit" has been raised, truly reaching the level of a top predator, causing Hannibal to be unable to exert the characteristics of "survival of the fittest".

Hannibal is more suitable for killing the weak, even if he is a little weaker than him, he will be quickly slaughtered. But once he reaches a certain level, his corresponding malice will hardly work.

Another reason is to abandon the human form and transform into a monster by attaching impure things to the body.

It seems that the complete control of these limbs through malice has made them stronger on the physical level, but in fact the "purity" of the murderous devil has been greatly reduced.

Doing so would be completely foolish, and would be a downgrading of one's own strength in a top-level showdown.

Hannibal's offensive was full of loopholes in Yi Chen's eyes.

【cut】

There is no longer any artistic effect of the beheading platform.
There is no more intuitive killing shock,
Yi Chen simply swung his arm, and with just the right amount of murderous intent and blood in his palm, he condensed a most ordinary butcher knife, and easily and without any hindrance, he cut open the neck full of teeth.

Hannibal didn't even realize at first that he had been beheaded.

When the head fell off, he was horrified.

He quickly opened the collection cabinet and devoured the offerings inside.

But just when he was halfway through eating, several knife marks suddenly appeared on the collection cabinet that existed between concepts and was formed by thick malice.

Bah!
The collection cabinet and all the collections inside were chopped into pieces.

"No!"

Seeing my hard work and crystallization destroyed,

Hannibal reattached the head and rushed towards Yi Chen like a madman.

But this time, before he could wave his arms,
In other words, when he wanted to swing his arms, he could no longer feel his hands, or even the existence of other parts of his body.

Turning around and looking,
His body was left in place, only his head, carrying malice, moved closer to Yi Chen.

Yi Chen loosened the black line around his mouth and whispered, "You've become weaker..."

Hannibal was about to retort, but his tongue was cut off.

Yi Chen continued, "You could have become stronger, but for some reason you went astray... What a pity! You could have been even stronger, even comparable to me in my current perfect state.

I could have learned a lot from you.”

Ah ah ah~
With his tongue cut off and the concept of speaking wiped out, Hannibal could only roar.

Having been humiliated in this way, Hannibal spared no effort to reconnect his head to his body.

Pop out all the ribs in the abdomen,
Open your bloody mouth,
At the same time, he waved his reattached arm, trying to completely destroy the "ingredients" in front of him.

hum!
Suddenly, something flashed vertically.
Hannibal only felt that his left and right vision became uneven.
Looking down,
His body had been cut in half lengthwise, and the clouds above his head and behind him were also cut equally.

Yi Chen in front of him had already retracted his butcher knife and turned away.

……

The concept of the second disaster is gradually dissipating.

The so-called top predator is dying, or it died a long time ago.

Yi Chen's guess was correct, Hannibal had already gone astray.

The reason why he thought that the human body was a kind of bondage was because he had completely failed in his attempt to fight against Reuben as a human.
From that moment on, he began to question his status as a top predator and tried to break through in all aspects.

His subsequent so-called disgust with others and leaving the City of Evil was more due to his own mental illness, as a top predator he was unwilling to be inferior to others.

He took the initiative to contact God and closed himself off, trying to achieve a breakthrough through means other than evil.

In the end, this anxiety and impatience led him to embark on the completely wrong path of limb transplantation...

The strong malice slowly dissipated,
In the last moment of his consciousness, Hannibal did not hate Yi Chen who killed him.

I hate that man.

The existence that made him lose his predator status early on and that he has never been able to surpass,
"Reuben..."
