Chapter 18 - Summoning the Gods

"It hurts, it hurts!"

At that moment, Nero was roaring in the center of the fire whirl.

Jin Yuchen was the only one who could understand and heaved a sigh,

Nero had lost control and was releasing his terrifying power.

This was the most troublesome part.

However, when the external forces were drawn in, the situation had long been out of his control.

After all, he was not God.

Jin Yuchen stood up from the stands and drew his two daggers.

A large drop of lava fell beside his heel, giving off intense smoke. The air was filled with the smell of sulfur.

Jin Yuchen looked at the sky through the torn ceiling of the theater.

A large amount of lava was spreading down the fire whirl. Some of the lava fell down, and it looked like golden-red rain.

"It's so beautiful,"

Jin Yuchen was in a rare daze. He had excavated many tombs in his past life, and this cruel yet beautiful scene had deeply shocked him.

'I'm afraid it'll only take three minutes for the lava to be completely sucked here.'

Jin Yuchen estimated the time it would take for Rome Inverted to be submerged in the lava and rushed to Nero.

Whether he liked it or not, he had to kill Nero in a short time.

Once the lava was sucked into Rome Inverted, he would have no chance of survival.

The wailing Nero suddenly turned to Jin Yuchen.

Jin Yuchen walked through the golden-red lava rain and started singing.

"The sun has set!

"It's so dark!

"…"

As he sang, Jin Yuchen's facial muscles twitched. His mouth curved into an angle that was impossible for a human. His tongue moved in and out of the air, more like a snake than a human.

The Shamans' God Summoning!

Jin Yuchen's master was not from a martial arts family. In fact, he had watched a lot of martial arts movies when he was young.

That was why he, a northeastern man, went to the south to learn the standard Wing Chun fist.

However, this was far from satisfying his imagination of martial arts.

He was too weak.

This was definitely not martial arts!

Therefore, he had been working behind closed doors for more than 10 years and had pondered on a set of martial arts ideas on how to develop his body's limits.

One of the ideas was to develop one's subconscious.

Humans had many organs that they couldn't control. For example, they couldn't control their heartbeat or hold their breath.

This was the area controlled by the subconscious, not something that could be controlled by the surface.

Although this was a form of insurance, it also limited one's potential.

Jin Yuchen's master called this state of being able to control one's body as one pleased as "Opening the Heavenly Gate".

However, opening the Heavenly Gate was a problem for him. After many years of exploration, he could finally simulate part of the effect by using the idea of Spirit Strike.

For this reason, he accepted the Shamans' inheritance.

By deeply hypnotizing themselves, they fantasized about being possessed by a God and did things that humans could never do.

Jin Yuchen had fought non-human beings in his previous life, and his progress in this area had far surpassed his master's.

In the God-Summoning state, he was infinitely close to opening the Heavenly Gate.

His heart began to beat at speed far beyond that of a human, and a large amount of blood was pumped out from it.

"Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!"

This was the sound of a large amount of blood rushing through the blood vessels, which the outside world could even hear.

The blood rushed to the end of the capillaries, causing the peripheral blood vessels to die.

Jin Yuchen's exposed skin was livor mortis-like.

Jin Yuchen could sense that his joints and ligaments had been stretched to the extent that no ordinary person could achieve. There was even a tear in his joints as if rubber had been stretched to its limit.

As part of his muscles were torn apart, Jin Yuchen broke through the air.

A white shockwave appeared in the air. It was proof that Jin Yuchen had broken the sound barrier!

With a huge explosion, Jin Yuchen appeared in front of Nero.

He waved his dagger.

Straight stab!

"You're actually faster than me!"

Nero just reacted; he only had time to wave his arm to block it.

The dagger drew a spark along the bone of his forearm, and Jin Yuchen's attack was deflected. Then he turned around in the air with the help of the deflection force, and his leg was like a big knife, chopping at Nero's skull.

Nero pulled back his head. Jin Yuchen's leg didn't hit Nero's skull, but his shoulder blade, tearing off his right arm.

At that moment, Vera, who the cyborgs protected in the distance, finally heard the sound of their battle.

Vera's eyes were about to pop out. She knew the man was scary, but she didn't expect him to be this strong.

That was bone armor that even a rocket could not penetrate, but he had actually shattered it.

This power even surpassed that of a bullet!

Jin Yuchen's foot and even half of his lower leg had been shattered. After all, he was still made of flesh and blood and could not surpass the laws of physics.

If he used a Nero Gold Coin to strengthen himself, he wouldn't get hurt, but he couldn't use it in a fight with Nero.

The owner of the true treasure could take back the additional ability on the ticket at any time.

Jin Yuchen made use of the counterforce to land on the ground. He used his hands to support himself and then his fingers to prop himself up.

After many years of inhuman training, his fingers were able to support such a terrifying explosive force. The force brought by this was even far greater than that of other people's legs.

With the help of this momentum, his left foot went straight to Nero's eye socket like a javelin.

Jin Yuchen's target was not just his fingers.

In his previous life, even Louise didn't know about this secret.

His toes had undergone far crueler than the training he had received for his fingers.

Nero didn't even have time to react. The bone between his eyes was broken, and a big foot was stuck in it.

Nero let out a roar that resounded through the sky and earth and stepped back. But half of his skull had already flown out, revealing the burning red flame in his skull.

Drops of lava fell from the air and onto the fire, which made Nero even more painful.

Jin Yuchen didn't give chase. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't.

Bone spikes grew all over his body and pierced his skin. Blood flowing under high pressure sprayed into the sky like a mist from his wounds.

The blood mist and the rain of lava fell on his body again, dyeing him red.

"Damned barbarian!"

Nero, who had lost half of his head, kept screaming. His voice was getting louder and louder, but the red light in his eyes was getting dimmer and dimmer.

"You think you can defeat me, you cheap thing!?"

More bone spikes grew out of Jin Yuchen's body, and he floated to Nero's side.

"B*stard! I want to see your brain!"

With Nero's roar, a bone spike grew out of Jin Yuchen's right eye, and the broken crystal mixed with some unknown liquid flowed on his face.

Then, Nero licked his face and licked away some of the liquid.

There was a hint of pride in his ferocious expression.

"Idiot! Today is the day you die!"
