Lee Sin’s Bizzare Adventure Chapter 123: The scary future
Diablo is confident that he can change his destiny.
Because his Crimson King’s stand-in ability is, in a sense, a divine power that can change destiny.
“Epitaph” can see the scene ten seconds in the future, which actually reveals the fate that will happen to Diavolo in the next ten seconds.
As long as Diavolo sees that the fate of the next ten seconds is not good for him, Diavolo can directly use “Time Deletion” to delete this future that is not good for him, thereby changing the fate that has already been written.
Every time you use “Epitaph” and “Time Cut”, you are actually changing your destiny.
Diablo believes that he will not be bound by the so-called fate. This was true before and is true now:
“The Crimson King”
“Epitaph!”
Because dialogue and thinking basically take no time in this world, Diablo did not actually give Li Sin any chance to breathe.
The moment Li Qing was stepped on by the Crimson King, the scene of the next ten seconds appeared in front of Diablo’s eyes.
First second:
The Crimson King raised his arm with his sword in hand, gathered all his strength, and struck straight at Li Qing’s head.
The red and white arm turned into a bolt of lightning, a gust of wind, and a cold blade in mid-air.
Facing the “Crimson King’s Guillotine”, Li Qing suddenly tapped the ground with his palm: “Thunder breaks!”
A white shock wave visible to the naked eye burst out from the ground, spreading outward like ripples on the water’s surface.
However, it is said to be a shock wave, but it is actually more like a soft white light.
This light did not cause any damage to the surrounding things, but when it penetrated the bodies of the Crimson King and Diavolo, their bodies were slightly shaken.
The damage caused by the impact and vibration was not high, but what is really surprising is what happened next:
After his body was hit by the shock wave, a white light suddenly flashed around Li Qing again.
Second second:
The moment this ray of light lit up, the Crimson King actually slowed down.
It seems that because of some kind of “stand-in ability” of Li Qing, it is like a video character with 0.5x slow-motion enabled, and its movements and eyes are twice as slow.
The Crimson King fell into a “slow playback” state for one second, and the high-speed hand knife that was originally too fast to be seen became slow and easy to dodge.
Taking this opportunity, Li Qing suddenly dodged to the side.
Because his palms were still pinned to the ground by steel bars and his arms were still stepped on by the Crimson King, Li Qing’s best effort to dodge was actually just a slight twist of his head to the side.
The vital parts of his head were barely saved, but his right arm and shoulder were still exposed to the Crimson King’s attack.
Although the Crimson King’s speed was slowed down by Li Qing’s “substitute ability”, somehow the power of the hand sword was not reduced at all because of the slowdown.
Like a hot knife cutting through butter, the Crimson King’s palm split open Li Qing’s shoulder without any hindrance.
Third second:
Something unexpected happened.
After Li Qing split his shoulder with the knife, a stream of hot blood spurted out from the wound.
Bleeding occurs when injured, which is normal for ordinary people.
However, it is very unexpected for Li Qing, who can heal his injuries instantly and always keep his body intact in digital mode.
It was only then that Diavolo noticed from the screen that the health bar on Li Qing’s head was missing.
Yes
He himself lifted the digitalization mode.
Fourth second:
Li Qing de-digitized and withstood the Crimson King’s sword with his body.
The hand knife split open his right shoulder without any hindrance, and removed his entire right arm and his right shoulder.
Scarlet blood gushed out, and the white bone stubble was exposed. Just by looking at the picture, you knew how much pain Li Qing would feel at this time.
But that’s what he wanted.
Like a lizard trying to survive with its tail cut off, he used the Crimson King’s hand knife to remove his right arm, which was nailed to the ground by a steel bar.
Before the Crimson King had time to pull out the castrated hand knife from the pool of blood, Li Qing had already left his removed right arm and rolled sideways flexibly.
The fifth second:
The Crimson King hurriedly adjusted his body shape and pounced towards Li Qing, who had escaped not far away.
At the same time, Diavolo, as the main body, could not help but feel a little relaxed.
Because Li Qing’s only right arm that can release the Tianyin Wave Light Group has been removed by Qi Gen, even if he escapes a few meters away in this decisive way, he cannot change the overall situation.
Sixth second:
The Crimson King quickly caught up with Lee Sin.
Li Qing was covered in blood and had nowhere to escape, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and turn around to face the attack.
At this time, he restarted digitization.
The physical injuries were reflected in the blood volume of the digitized body. When the blood bar appeared above Li Qing’s head again, the health value displayed on it was less than 50%.
The joy of victory appeared on Diavolo’s face, and the Crimson King pounced forward like a mountain tiger.
Seventh second:
Without any warning, without Diavolo noticing
A big hole suddenly opened in the Crimson King’s chest.
This big hole was opened in the vital heart. When the injury was restored to Diablo’s body at the same time, Diablo’s chest was like a high-pressure water cannon with the valve opened. Generally, large areas of bright red arterial blood spurt out.
Eighth second:
He fell on the cold ground, suffocating on the blood that surged up from his throat.
Consciousness became blurred in pain, and the Crimson King also disappeared from sight.
At this moment, Diavolo could even clearly see the horrified, confused and frightened expression on his face eight seconds later.
Lee Sin was very cautious, and even if he successfully knocked down Diavolo, he would not stay here for one more second.
He didn’t even check Diavolo’s injuries. He immediately turned around and blasted a sky sound wave in the distance, as if he was about to fly away directly.
Nine seconds:
There is no ninth or tenth second.
Diablo’s life has come to an end, and there is not even a second left
“This?!”
Diablo suddenly woke up from the vision of the future.
The way fate gave him death was too bizarre and too sudden. The unexpected scene made his breath become heavy and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He couldn’t help but cover his chest subconsciously, looking for his A heart that is still beating.
“Not even the Crimson King’s tough body can stop him, but that bald man”
“Is there still such an attack method hidden?”
Recalling the scene he just saw, Diavolo couldn’t help but feel enlightened:
The Crimson King has a strong body that matches its powerful strength. If it blocks with all its strength, it can even deflect bullets with its body.
But in the face of Li Qing’s weird attack, its body was easily pierced like a fragile piece of paper.
It’s not just that
Diablo couldn’t help but recall the white light released by Li Qing in the first second.
As long as it is affected by that light, whether it is the body or the substitute, it will enter a terrifying “slow-motion” state.
“How much more ability does this guy have?”
“Has he grown to this point in less than half a day?”
Diablo felt a deep fear in his heart.
So
With almost no hesitation, Diavolo ordered the Crimson King to raise his arm high and strike out with a hand knife with all his strength as shown in the future scene.
Yes, even after seeing such a cruel future, he did not change his established attack strategy.
Because years of practice have made Diavolo understand:
Maybe there are ghosts and gods in the dark, and no matter how hard he tries, the future will come true as seen in “Epitaph”.
For example
Even if Diavolo doesn’t attack with his knife, Li Sin can still take out his dagger and break his arm to survive.
Or, even if he asked the Crimson King to change his target and attack Li Sin’s left arm, he might end up hitting Li Sin’s right arm for some funny reason such as “his foot slipped”.
Lee Sin will still escape, and he will still die.
No matter how Diavolo changes his actions after seeing the future, his predetermined fate will happen to him unchanged just like the future he saw with the “Epitaph”.
Because fate cannot be changed by mortal power.
The only thing that can change this future and this destiny is the Crimson King’s “time removal” that is above the rules.
“Yes, the destiny predicted by the Rolling Stones was correct.”
“I am indeed a ‘dying man’, and fate has already shown the appearance of my death.”
“But, so what?”
Diablo watched the familiar scenes with bated breath:
“Let the future go as destiny has written it”
“I will erase that fate along with time!”
