Chapter 16 A Worthless Struggle

Looking at the black mist surging up to the third floor, the corpses hanging from the dormitory doorframes began to gather. The gray lines on their bodies all fluttered and trembled backward, as if in fear of the humanoid creature made of black lines within the black mist.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot; fools who overestimate themselves..."

A cold, ruthless sneer echoed from within the black mist.

The corpses parasitized by the gray lines seemed enraged by this mockery. They roared angrily at the humanoid line creature within the black mist, the gray lines on their bodies dancing wildly as if expressing their furious attitude.

But the humanoid line creature in the black mist merely snorted and waved its hand casually. The corpse monsters parasitized by the gray lines shattered into neat piles of flesh!

The gray lines writhed incessantly within the chunks of meat, appearing extremely disgusting and terrifying.

Shen Wei was overjoyed to see someone helping him intercept the pursuers. While running, he inquired about the battle situation predicted by the Evil God's right hand. When he heard that the terrifying corpses parasitized by the gray lines were no match for the black line humanoid monster in the black mist, Shen Wei's face turned green with fright, and he quickened his pace.

"Oh, my! This guy is too difficult to deal with. He's hot on your heels, determined to get your body and soul. Why don't you just give in to him..."

The Evil God's right hand had completely let go of itself at this point, beginning to slack off and lie flat.

Shen Wei's teeth itched with anger: "Why don't you give in to him and let those lines parasitize your hand? Wouldn't that be wonderful for you?"

The black mist followed closely behind Shen Wei, quickly reaching the fourth floor. The terrifying corpses parasitized by the gray lines on the fourth floor once again tried to block him. Meanwhile, the chunks of meat on the third floor had merged together, forming a giant corpse monster covered in gray lines all over its head and body.

They attacked from both sides, surrounding the humanoid black line monster in the black mist.

"Roar..."

The corpse monsters parasitized by the gray lines on both sides simultaneously roared at the humanoid line creature in the black mist.

"A bunch of boring fellows. Don't force me to get serious. If *he* came out, he might be able to exchange a few moves with me. Based on you guys, you're not even worthy of carrying my shoes..."

The humanoid line creature shrouded in black mist was very arrogant, clearly possessing high intelligence.

The corpse monsters parasitized by the gray lines ignored his wild rantings and launched another fearless attack.

"Laughable ants, always overestimating yourselves. Let me teach you a lesson..."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless black lines flew out of the black mist. These black lines sliced the corpse monsters parasitized by the gray lines into pieces.

Then, they entangled a large number of gray lines that couldn't escape in time and devoured them into the black lines, as if eating them. After eating those gray lines, the black lines in the black mist began to surge and let out cries of joy.

"Very good, very good! After I catch that kid and parasitize his soul, I'll come back to you and turn you all into my nutrients. Don't worry, I won't forget your contributions when I become a god. You will be immortal with me, hahaha..."

A frenzied laughter came from the black mist, but the laughter sounded like a death knell in Shen Wei's ears.

Shen Wei quickly ran to the fifth floor. The humanoid creature hidden in the black mist was still slowly pacing behind him. His speed wasn't too fast, but with each step, the distance between them shortened a lot.

Just as Shen Wei ran to the door where the gray line humanoid creature was imprisoned, the black mist was about to touch his back, and a black hand composed of black lines stretched out from the black mist, about to land on his shoulder.

"You belong to me. This is destiny. No matter where you run, you can't escape all this. Come, let us become one and recast the glory of the gods..."

The humanoid creature composed of black lines seemed to be some kind of fanatical evil god believer, appearing very perverted.

At this critical moment, a flash of bright light directly severed the black hand composed of black lines. The severed hand composed of black lines fell to the ground and was once again swallowed by the black mist. The black hand of the black line humanoid creature grew back at an extremely fast speed.

Shen Wei held a knife in his right hand, his body in a defensive posture. His left hand grasped the door imprisoning the gray line humanoid creature, looking at the humanoid creature composed of black lines in the black mist with a wary expression.

"You have some skills, but how much lifespan can you waste? Evil God remnant limb parasitized in that kid's hand, how have you been thinking about the conditions I discussed with you before? As long as you hand this kid over and let me parasitize his soul, this Rule Anomaly instance will end. You and I can escape the Rule Anomaly world and descend into the human world. At that time, we can divide the world equally, wouldn't that be great!"

The Evil God's right hand stuck the knife into the floor of the dormitory building, staring at the humanoid line creature in the black mist with the red eye pattern on its palm:

"Your skill in drawing cakes is really top-notch! Are you sure the Rule Anomaly will really end? And do you think the administrator of the Rule Anomaly will let us descend into the human world so easily! To be honest, I'm already used to this peaceful life, and I don't like fighting and killing anymore. After all, I haven't been a big brother for many years."

"Actually, it's already good enough to earn a little lifespan. You don't know, slacking off and lying flat is the real happiness. I was really too stupid in the past. I fought and killed every day just for the high and invincible false name. It's meaningless, too meaningless..."

After hearing the Evil God's right hand's words, Shen Wei was shocked: "This is really the ancestor of slacking off in the Evil God world! He lives a truly transparent life, and I am ashamed of myself!"

Not only Shen Wei, but the humanoid line creature in the black mist was also shocked by the Evil God's right hand.

"You are a disgrace to the Evil God world. You have a powerful strength, but you are willing to be a slacking salted fish. I really misjudged you. After I decide to parasitize this kid's soul, I must absorb all your energy. I will replace you and conquer these worlds..."

The Evil God's right hand was speechless after hearing this: "This guy is really hopeless, a late-stage chuunibyou (middle school 2nd-year syndrome), a proper evil villain..."

At this moment, Shen Wei finally couldn't help but speak: "Brother Line, we have no past grudges and no recent animosity. Why do we have to kill each other? How about this, let's each take a step back. I won't stop you from dominating the world, can you let me go?"
