Chapter 247 · Prototype
——I am not as good as him?
——Why do you say...I am not as good as him! ?
——I admit that he always makes the right decisions. He does a good job as a protector. His development and exploration of power is extraordinary. I was the best at the beginning. But he came later.
——But...but...even so...
——I don't think he is always stronger than me!
At the moment of sanity collapse, Zheng Zha no longer has any thoughts that he would not show on weekdays. All the restraints were completely destroyed and erased at this moment. The deepest emotion in his heart was manifested in the depths of his soul.
Jealousy.
How could there be no jealousy in his heart.
Because he knows and understands that this jealousy has been pushing him forward and making him gain more powerful power.
He doesn't hate Jiang Yu, because Jiang Yu is an important partner. But he is jealous of him, because he wants to stand in front of everyone to protect them from the wind and rain and guide them to the right direction of victory...he also wants to do it!
——Why can't I?
——Isn't it strength? Isn't it determination? Making sacrifices for the team, can't I do this? Refining my own strength and then defeating the intensity, haven't I been doing this? !
Never admit defeat.
Zheng Zha admitted that he was slightly behind in the previous competition. But he didn't think he had completely lost. He knew that all this had not reached the moment of final revelation. So he still had a chance to become the strongest in terms of combat power and voice.
He believed that he could do it, and he knew that he had been doing it. He knew that Jiang Yu was making continuous progress, but he himself could always keep up.
It was just a little bit, just a little bit. The gap between him and him was not that big. As long as he worked harder and made more breakthroughs. Then soon, the balance would return to the same as it was at the beginning!
Ah... That's right. That's it, that's what I thought. There was indeed only this idea in my head.
——'So, why are you jealous? '
A voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of my heart.
Everything came to an abrupt end.
Yes... Why be jealous?
Isn't Jiang Yu his companion? Isn't he confident that he can beat him? Isn't it more to make the team better than the desire for power of male creatures that he competes with him?
Then... why be jealous? Isn't this a fighting spirit? Isn't this a very ordinary... normal competition?
Doubt.
The doubt only lasted for a moment, or perhaps not enough.
Because all thoughts have been completely liberated, he is now forced to face his complete self.
So he saw it, saw the ordinary scene that emerged in his mind. He saw Jiang Yu holding up a shield and blocking in front. And he was among the many protected objects behind him.
——He tried to protect me.
An answer was clearly revealed in his cognition.
——He thinks I am weak, he thinks I... need protection like everyone else.
Zheng Zha is a warrior.
The duty of a warrior is to stand on the front line and face the battle.
Zheng Zha is a brave man.
A brave man shoulders the lives of his companions and will never hide behind his companions when he can.
So...
——It's not jealousy.
——I... am not jealous of him.
——My real feeling is disgust and hatred. Even though he is indeed an important companion. I can't stand his inadvertent arrogance that seems to be superior to me. It's as if I am a fighting beast in the arena, and he is just a member of the audience who accidentally fell into the arena.
——What qualifications does he have... to regard me as weak?
Attribute correction.
The sword of jealousy has become the sword of disgust. When the thought of that moment was transformed, the black flame sword also gained a complete form.
Zheng Zha did not hold the sword-because he did not need to hold it.
And at the moment when the sword of disgust was formed, he also knew the effect of this sword.
A very old skill that had even been eliminated long ago was integrated into the sword-that was the first war skill he learned in this infinite world. The first skill to show his own martial arts.
Zaku Thermal Axe-Heat Slash.
It was eliminated early, because even if the thermal axe was pushed to the extreme, it was still not as good as the random swipe of the demon axe - because the material itself has an upper limit. Even if the thermal slash skill can pour more energy to enhance the effect. But now he only needs to inject 30% of the energy of the demon's attack into the thermal axe, and the axe itself will collapse and break.
So, it can't be used.
However, the skill of "thermal slash" can still be developed - as long as a suitable carrier can be obtained!
Then... power gathers. Anchor the target...
- Release!
From the sword of disgust, huge energy gathered into a tide. And the next moment, Zheng Zha moved directly to the airspace where Zhang Jie was, and the gun, sword, axe, three black flame weapons, released the maximum power together!
Leave no room for maneuver, no hesitation.
When the feeling of incapacitation and collapse came with the darkness of fainting, what Zheng Zha saw was Zhang Jie's relieved eyes, and a little surprise.
…………………………
When Zheng Zha opened his eyes again, he saw a broken wasteland. There were still flames burning in the huge pits and narrow rifts. The rising smoke column set off a huge heat wave in the sky.
"How does it feel to witness the destructive effect caused by your last round of explosion? This permanent change of the terrain within a radius of ten kilometers, even if placed in the field of the fourth-level gene lock, is barely a bit of a card power?"
Zhang Jie's voice came from not far away-Zheng Zha supported himself to get up, and the pain and weakness in his body were subsiding with his breathing. He found himself lying on the top of a cliff. And Zhang Jie was sitting on the edge of the cliff.
Just like before, when he was at the top of the church.
"It feels... quite strange." The corners of his lips curled up a bitter smile-he didn't know why it was bitter, but anyway he was smiling. "I figured out some things and was forced to accept some facts. But... I feel very relaxed now. It's like some burden has been removed from me and I didn't even realize it before."
"It's normal." Zhang Jie took a puff of cigarette, and the white breath he exhaled did not affect his speech. "The original power you developed is very strange. It works by devouring negative emotions. However, you don't have too much pain in your heart-in normal times, you can still use the black sea of emotions you mentioned as fuel. But once you need to explode and need high-purity power, you can only rely on your own thoughts."
"You are not a person with deep hatred and hatred, and you can't hate even if you want to. But you know you have to do it, so you subconsciously prepare an emergency method-you make yourself emotional, making it easier for you to feel pain and anger. As long as you find an opportunity, you will find a way to intensify your emotions no matter how far-fetched it is."
He shrugged.
"A forced melon is not sweet, but it quenches thirst. However, your hatred is too limited to the single emotion of 'hatred', and you ignore the power of other negative emotions. And you don't want to hate others, you can only hate yourself. And this leads to all other negative emotions being forced to be directed at yourself. But they exist for a long time, even with the third-level gene lock, they can only be suppressed, but not eliminated."
"And now I can do it..." Zheng Zha muttered to himself, and in front of him, a sword, an axe and a gun appeared.
He sighed silently.
"It's okay to tell me directly... "
"Will you listen?" Zhang Jie asked back.
Zheng Zha opened his mouth, and finally, there was only silence. For those who are confident enough, it is impossible to change their thinking easily without personally verifying the mistakes.
"...Thank you." In the end, he could only reply with such a sentence.
"Well, I accept it." Zhang Jie waved his hand. "However, it's better to find a solution as soon as possible for your method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Either buy some special props, or develop your ability to ignite the dark ocean of emotions - you have already gained a foothold at the stage of the third-order gene lock. But if you want to go further, I suggest you keep your mind normal."
"... Yeah." Zheng Zha nodded. "I know. This time, I also found that divine power can amplify the hate fire. And the divine power consumed now is not enough. If there is more, maybe it can complete the complete transformation. And by then, the new hate fire should no longer be limited to hatred, it will be more powerful. Moreover, the burning effect on emotions should also be better... At that time, I should be able to change the supply source to burn."
"Have you considered changing a new name?"
"Yes." Zheng Zha thought for a while, and a short noun appeared on the surface of his mind.
"Negative emotions... resentment. The completely transformed hate fire is called 'resentment fire'."
"It sounds good." Zhang Jie nodded in agreement. "Li Yan... your naming ability is much better than Jiang Yu's."
"I am sure I am better than him in some ways." Zheng Zha shrugged. Now, this sentence is no longer harsh - he raised his hand and took the cigarette thrown by Zhang Jie. He and Zhang Jie sat down on the edge of the cliff together, and then neither of them spoke.
He did not ask Zhang Jie how he and Jiang Yu were now.
He did not ask Zhang Jie how big the hidden crisis in this world was.
He did not ask Zhang Jie why Zhang Jie was so urgent that he wanted to find him alone to show his strength - he just sat there, because the conversation between the warriors had already been fully expressed in the previous battle.
Time passed bit by bit.
Soon, when Zheng Zha recovered. He got up and returned to the base where the seniors were before dawn with Zhang Jie.
Hate Fire → Li Yan → Original Darkness
It's about like this.
