Chapter 300 - Divine Blessing

Chapter 300: Chapter 276 Divine BlessingWhiz!

The electromagnetic cannonball, carrying the summons of origami cranes, flew over the Divine Eagle Gunboat hovering in the sky, past the tall buildings, and arrived above the city.

In the subway station, Kurosaki Ichigo and the others sensed trouble and, despite everything, immediately unleashed skills like the Tail Beast Jade, Crescent Moon Sky Strike, and Rubber Machine Gun towards Li Cheng,

but, alas, it was too late.

Li Cheng snapped his fingers, and before being engulfed by the Crescent Moon Sky Strike and Tail Beast Jade, he activated the Demon Exchange Skill and teleported directly to the city center amidst the towering skyscrapers.

Here, a hundred meters above the ground, the traffic flow was ceaseless, as minute as ants.

He scanned the surrounding skyscrapers, with the Information Integration Glasses on his nose operating at full capacity, coordinating with the Multi-threaded Brain Domain Method to examine each glass pane.

There you are.

In the glass facade of a mid-level office building, that Eugene stood agape at the sight of Li Cheng who appeared out of thin air. Instinctively, he raised his Magic Wand, about to release the Phantom Shifting Spell in an attempt to make a distant escape.

Li Cheng, of course, would not give him that chance. He instantly raised the Electromagnetic Gun, loaded an Electronic Pet Egg, and pulled the trigger.

Bang—

The Electronic Pet Egg was electrically propelled out, shattering the building’s glass and opening automatically under the impact.

From within the Pet Egg sprung Gray Rain, who immediately caught sight of Eugene, wickedly drew the Skull Shattering Hammer, and swung it full circle towards Eugene’s head.

Eugene, with bandages still adorning his head, was acutely aware of the hammer’s might. Unable to release the Phantom Shifting in time, he quickly changed tactics, flicking his Magic Wand to cast a Floating Charm, propelling himself backward through the air.

Boom!

The Skull Shattering Hammer barely missed Eugene, crashing into the load-bearing wall, pulverizing it as if it were made of tofu.

Eugene felt a chill on his scalp and released various Evil Curses like a machine gun.

Judging just from the original text and films, the "Level" of the Harry Potter World wasn’t considered high. The ultimate villain Voldemort, whom the main characters confronted as if facing a formidable enemy, strictly speaking, might have only killed a little over a hundred people—barely more than a fierce serial killer or a mafia boss.

However, the mystique of certain magics in Harry Potter is genuinely profound, some even verging on conceptual.

Such as the Duplicate Spell, Resurrection Spell, Summoning Spell, Mind Seizing Spell, Enlarge and Shrink Spell, and so forth.

Gray Rain, with experience, preemptively activated the Subtle Spirit Raid Skill, merging most of his body into the wall to avoid the various Evil Curses,

and suddenly hurled the Skull Shattering Hammer, interrupting Eugene’s attempt to release the Phantom Shifting again.

At the same time, Li Cheng, using the temporary skill Leopard Jump Double Jump, kicked twice in the air and dived into the office corridor, gripping his right wrist with his left hand, and brewing a Medium Self-Aiming Gravity Energy Ball in his right palm before launching it.

Giant trash cans and potted plants along the way were sucked in by the unusual gravity, wildly swirling about.

The black Energy Ball, like a tenacious maggot, flew toward Eugene and, due to its self-aiming Trait, navigated flexibly to avoid obstacles and Magic Spells.

In a desperate stroke of ingenuity, Eugene tapped the right-side wall with his Magic Wand, causing the entire wall to shift abruptly, blocking it across the corridor and stopping the Gravity Ball in its tracks.

The Gravity Ball smashed against the wall, finally halting its flight. But upon contact with a solid object, its gravity intensified, pinning Eugene firmly in place through the wall.

Just like the cat in the "Tom and Jerry" cartoons stuck to the wall by a magnet.

Thump, thump, thump!

The sound of heavy footsteps drew nearer from behind the wall.

Eugene, with his limbs firmly held by the abnormal gravity, was sweating profusely as he frantically scanned the Backpack,

This fifth Gold Arrow was named the Holy Protection Decree.

He focused his thoughts on the item bar, took out the fifth Gold Arrow, and with difficulty used his mouth to hold the tail of the arrow, poking himself slightly with the Arrowhead.

Buzz—

The effect of the Holy Protection Decree manifested instantly; a golden light covered Eugene’s entire body, and he felt a sudden lightness, no longer affected by the Gravity Ball.

The next moment, the full-powered Skull Shattering Hammer burst through the wall and struck Eugene’s head dead on.

Clang!

The crisp sound, as soothing as a hammer capable of smashing the forward armor of a main battle tank, was effortlessly deflected.

"Hmm?!"

Gray Rain’s eyes widened, disbelievingly knocking several times, while Eugene just stood there, grinning and laughing, "Hahaha! That’s all?"

This floor of the office building was occupied. Despite the terrorist attack and the explosive scandal at City Hall in the past 24 hours,

those hard-working employees didn’t receive any notice to work remotely from home, so they still had to earnestly show up for work.

At this moment, hearing the deafening noise, they poked their heads out of their cubicles one by one, looking down the corridor, then witnessed the "terrorist" who was unscathed despite being repeatedly hammered by a large sledgehammer in the ruined hallway.

"It doesn’t hurt at all, not in the slightest,"

Eugene stood still, leisurely straightening his clothes, tauntingly asked: "Didn’t you eat?"

Gray Rain couldn’t stand this provocation with his hot temper. He spun in place, whipping the hammer around and striking Eugene’s chest, only to be repelled again. The Skull Shattering Hammer flew out with a "thud" and embedded into the ceiling, shaking loose a large amount of dust.

The employees on the floor belatedly realized what was happening, that a terrorist attack was in progress, and they began to scatter and flee in panic, crying and screaming.

Amidst the chaos, Li Cheng strode to the middle of the corridor, his first words being "You’re not Eugene."

A person’s appearance can be disguised, but their expressions, the minute twitching of facial muscles, the subconscious movements of hands and feet are hard to hide.

The man in front of him, while bearing Eugene’s appearance, emitted a completely different aura.

His second line was, "This layer of golden light is some kind of highly mystical protective barrier that blocks external damage. As a trade-off, you can only stand still and can’t move, attack, or use items or skills."

is considered one of the most valuable spells in the Harry Potter World with a short casting time. Its low threshold and consumption allows for extremely long teleportation distances.

If running had been an option, Eugene would have used to escape already.

"So what?"

Eugene, or rather the joker possessing Eugene’s body, crossed his arms with a confident smile, his legs stuck firmly to the ground as if glued, "No matter who I am, you can’t break through my defense, and reinforcements from City Hall could arrive at any time."

Holy Protection Decree is a conceptual type of protection, impervious to blades and guns, untouched by water and fire. So he was utterly unconcerned while still able to trash talk.

"So you’re called Ant, huh? Kneel and call me ’master,’ and I might spare your life."

"From Immortal Peak, I stand above all; where I, Eugene, am, so is heaven. Dare to defy me, and your later years shall be damned."

"Those who have seen me in action are all dead, do you also wish to dance?"

"F***, ***? ****! **."

Li Cheng used the Multi-threaded Brain Domain Method daily and had long become immune to psychic attacks,

while Gray Rain was used to foul-mouthed singers and piano players typing insults at the speed of light from playing video games, so he was unfazed.

The two circled the Oscar statue-like, golden-glittering Eugene, exchanging a glance and immediately coming up with a plan,

they took out a thick black plastic trash bag from the Backpack and adeptly pulled it over Eugene’s head.

"Hey, hey, I’m here to participate in a deathmatch, what are you guys doing?!"

Eugene finally panicked, struggling to break free, but his strength was no match for Gray Rain’s. His hands were twisted behind his back, while Li Cheng covered his head with the plastic bag, squeezing the air and tightening the bag.

True, the Holy Protection Decree had an extremely high level of mystique and priority, not even the Skull Shattering Hammer could penetrate it. However, asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen did not constitute direct attack.

"Heh, heh..."

Gasping for air, Eugene, like a fish out of water, trembled violently, struggling, "I, I Can’t Breathe..."

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds.

As the air in the plastic bag ran out and Eugene’s trembling lessened, he still didn’t die, leaving Li Cheng puzzled.

What’s going on, the strongest king of endurance to suffocation?

Or is it that he seems normal on the surface but actually enjoys suffocating himself for fun, building up resistance.

While tightening the bag, Li Cheng searched Eugene and indeed found several fresh needle marks on his shoulder.

The Information Integration Glasses scanned clearly that these needle marks came from the latest injection from Gen-sys Company, greatly enhancing the body’s self-healing and impact resistance, acting as a substitute for Life Potion.

The downside was that the side effects were particularly severe, aggressively retaliating against the body a few hours later.

No normal person would inject themselves with so many needles. Holding the bag closed, Li Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "You’re indeed not Eugene."

"Right guess, but no prize for you."

Eugene grinned hoarsely, "Players brave enough to join this deathmatch are all capable. If you think you can kill me this easily, you’re being too naive..."

Before he could finish, he saw Gray Rain pick up the Skull Shattering Hammer again, not to hit him, but to start slamming the floor around him.

Unease surged in Eugene, he quickly asked, "What are you doing?"

"Smashing the floor."

Gray Rain matter-of-factly replied, "I’ll break through the floor, toss you down into the septic tank below, and then I don’t believe you can breathe in there. Only Tom can pull that off."

So tell me what exactly is Tom, huh?! A maggot?
