Chapter 64 - The Final Battle Part 2

Zhihui ignores the mechanical voice of the system, as she focuses her attention on fighting the hive mind. Dodging four attacks by stepping to the side, the four spider legs pierce the place where she once stood. The spider's legs strike the earth, breaking it apart, with little to no effort.

Zhihui gathers the elements around her, earth, fire, air, and water started to gather at her back. Entering her body through the gems in her back. These four elements balance each other out, as her appearance slowly returns to normal. Her body temperate goes back to normal as well.

Zhihui throws a fist at the hive mind, as a strong gust of wind reaches the hive mind. The hive mind easily breaks up the gust of wind, by hitting it back with its own fist. The air disperses around the fist, stopping the attack in its track. The hive mind, using its superior biology and strength, rushes toward Zhihui. As it stands in front of Zhihui, its bottom spider legs, attack Zhihui from below, trying to pierce her stomach.

Zhihui clicks her tongue as she sees how fast the hive mind is, it is at least 2 times faster than she is. So, it would prove to be hard to dodge the attacks. With almost no movement, the earth started to protect Zhihui's stomach. Trying to protect her skin from being pierced by the spider legs. The spike end of the spider legs meets the earth's armor, breaking apart the armor, the strength and speed behind the spider legs, send shock waves across Zhihui's stomach. Shaking her inner organs, Zhihui was pushed back, her feet digging into the ground.

But before the hive mind could do another attack, Zhihui grabs the two spider legs, and she started to channel fire into her hands. In less than second blue flames appear from her hands, and its intensive heat started to melt the part of the spider legs. The hive mind would not allow this to happen, as it sends its other two spider legs to attack Zhihui's now defenseless head.

As the spider legs get closer to Zhihui's head, she channels more QI into her hands, causing the fire in her hands to explode. Spreading a wave of heat and pressure. This shockwave pushes the spider legs up, missing their mark by an inch, as they draw some blood from the top of Zhihui's head. The hive mind took a second to process this information, as its battle experience is not as great as Zhihui. But with every second this fight passes by, it learns and gets better.

But for now, Zhihui has the upper hand, as her palm strikes the chest of the hive mind. Her palm reaches the insect armor of the hive mind, and as palm and armor meet, it explodes into pure blue flames. The point-blank detonation melts and breaks parts of the insect's chest armor.

Pushing the hive mind a couple of feet away, Zhihui not wanting to let go of her aggression rushes toward the hive mind. Her hand is now black and burned after not being able to handle the heat of the blue flames. A single red pill appears mid-air as she opens her mouth, shallowing the 5-fate point healing elixir.

As she felt the energy of the elixir spread around her body, her hands started to heal. As she reaches the hive mind, she sends another punch, this time aiming at its head, as her fist gets enveloped in the blue flames. Landing on the right side of the hive mind face, the heat once again started to melt the armor, soon an explosion follows as she broke apart pieces of the hive mind armor. But this time the hive mind did not falter and move, as it launched its counterattack. One of its spider legs, pierced Zhihui's left leg, spilling blood. The spider leg pierces the flesh and muscle, coming out the other side and getting stuck in the soil.

With her left thigh damaged and wounded, her movement was restricted, the worst-case scenario. As she makes her left fist into pure earth, she grasps the spider leg, the part close to the fresh wound, adding her QI to her own blood. Controlling the blood and making it wrap around her fist. As she uses the blood to enchant her fist, increasing her grip strength. With her earth-blood-enchanted hand, she breaks the spider's leg in half.

Jumping to the side with a quick step, a spider leg hit where she once stood. But the hive mind expected this, as it landed a punch on Zhihui's exposed right side. Its strength transferred into Zhihui's body, shaking her organs, and causing internal bleeding. Blood spilled from the corner of Zhihui's mouth, as she pulls half of the spider's leg out of her leg. With the spider leg now in her hand, she uses it to defend against some of the hive mind attacks.

Zhihui was slowly being overtaken, as the hive mind's speed in combat was improving at astonishing speeds. The hive mind did not give her enough time to concentrate on her attacks. But she found a moment of peace as she stomps her leg and makes a ton of earth spikes appear between her and the hive mind. As the spikes attack the hive-mind insect armor.

Some of the spikes bounce off the armor, but some found a weak spot and wounded the hive mind. But the hive mind did not stop, as three of its spider legs attack through the earth's spikes, easily breaking them and hitting Zhihui. Piercing her arms and stomach.

Blood spills and paints the barren ground, as the hive mind's four arms go toward Zhihui, ready to attack her even more. But before it could do, two of its arms are blown out of its body. Blood spilling as the two arms fly in the air. At the very back, surrounded by the corruption horde, Mors attacks the hive mind arms using the new attack technique of his spear. Breaking the flow of the personal combat of Zhihui and the hive mind. The attack cut through the horde to reach the hive mind.

But soon he got surrounded again as he focused on fighting the army, with countless wounds on his body. But this is all Zhihui needs, as she grabs and walks through the spider legs, digging them deeper into her body, as her hands get covered in blue flames. As she reaches the hive mind, she grabs its head.

Soon Zhihui started to flow her blue hot flames into the hive mind-brain. Burning the head of the hive mind head in the process. But the hive mind proves to be very durable, as it tries to pull Zhihui's hands off. Its sharp claws dug into Zhihui's flesh and spilled more blood.

But Zhihui did not stop, her fingers dig deep into the now melting hive mind head. As her fingers get deeper, she pours more QI into her hand, making more flames and increasing the heat. As the head of the hive's mind started to melt and lose its shape, it started losing its strength as some of the monsters under its control started to die.

One of the biological tubes falls to the ground, and a shock wave spread across the world. Zhihui pulls one of her hands off the head of the hive mind. Another tube fell and another shock wave appear. Her free hand turns into a fist, as other tubes fall, and another shock wave appears. The very chains of fate breaking.

In a moment of silence, she punches the hive's mind's head. Her fist digs into the head of the hive mind, reaching its brain, and using her fist, Zhihui makes the flame explode inside of the hive mind's head. The powerful explosion burns the brain of the hive mind as its head blows into countless pieces.

The hive mind has died the next second its army falls to the ground lifeless. The corruption that has taken hold in the forest started to disappear. As a final groundbreaking shock wave spreads across the world.

As her chains break, Fate screams in pain. Her well-crafted chains did not consider someone of such unstoppable will. The base of her power, which she spent years cultivating and planning, is now showing cracks. She must find this anomaly and end it where it stands. She will show them, what it feels like to mess and break her well-crafted [Fate]
