227: What power of destiny

“You said destiny is on your side?”

Shui Yuqianxi looked at the woman in front of her, her hand holding the revolver slowly rising to her head.

“That’s right, destiny chose me, and I will definitely be victorious!”

“My power has become stronger than ever before; this is the gift destiny has bestowed upon me!”

Shui Yuqianxi pressed the gun to her head, yet her expression showed no fear.

The woman didn't know what confidence Shui Yuqianxi still had.

The stream of water from Shui Yuqianxi's pinky finger, which she put into the revolver, was weak.

It was impossible to block the fired bullet.

Nor could it wash away the toxicity that had permeated the metal.

But…

“Destiny has given you power, allowing your power to swell to the point where neither party can violate the wager.”

“This destiny is not meant to kill me, but to kill you.”

“Destiny is on my side, because…”

Shui Yuqianxi pulled the trigger!

In an instant, sparks burst from the muzzle, and the bullet quickly exited the barrel.

However, just as the bullet was about to hit Shui Yuqianxi, a spatial gate opened!

The bullet, which was about to hit her head, immediately shot into the spatial gate and disappeared without a trace.

Subsequently, Mumen Se also appeared in this space.

While Shui Yuqianxi was making her wager, Jia Gu Yiyan was not doing nothing.

He connected to the satellite via his Summoner, transmitting all information back to headquarters.

Shui Yuqianxi could not use armor or Card power, but Jia Gu Yiyan could.

White Feather quickly assessed the situation through Shui Yuqianxi's communication with the monster.

And instructed Mumen Se, who was guarding outside, to be ready at any time to activate her ability and divert the bullet.

“I am not alone.”

“Destiny will be pushed to your side by all of us, together.”

Shui Yuqianxi released the revolver, and under the powerful constraint of the monster's ability, the revolver slowly floated towards the woman's hand.

“Now, it’s 100%.”

“Destiny allowed your spirit to grow and bestowed upon you such immense power.”

“And now, under this immense power, you simply have no possibility of defying this Monster Power.”

The woman’s eyes widened, her lips parted, her tongue trembling incessantly, but she couldn't speak.

Her power, her second growth power, was now, under destiny, killing herself.

Destiny had given her growth, given her power.

In the end, it wasn’t on her side!

She wasn't even dying at the hands of a Sea Spirit Summoner, but at the hands of her own power, which had re-grown within destiny.

Unable, unable to defy!

Under this powerful Monster Power that belonged to her, her actions simply could not defy, could not defy the wager!

Her hand, uncontrollably, gripped the revolver, trembling non-stop!

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't resist this Monster Power that originally belonged to her.

It was too powerful.

Completely irresistible.

She aimed the revolver at her own temple; the poisonous bullet was already chambered.

“Sea… Spirit…”

“Why… something like… this…”

Bang!

A gunshot exploded, and in an instant, the light purple poisonous bullet directly pierced the woman's skull!

The immense force directly pulverized her brain, and at the same time, the toxicity contained within the bullet began to act upon her head.

In just a moment, her body, under the effects of the potent poison and brain destruction, collapsed to the ground, twitching continuously.

The wager was also lifted at this moment.

Jia Gu Yiyan's hands also returned to Shui Yuqianxi's hands.

Shui Yuqianxi picked up Jia Gu Yiyan's arm, quickly rushed towards Jia Gu Yiyan, and pulled out the Jellyfish Card.

The incision on the arm was clean, and the time it had been separated from the body was short.

According to the Summoner's body, which possessed superhuman, non-human vitality and cell activity,

It was estimated that if simply stitched, it would heal on its own in a month or so, leaving no sequelae except for a scar.

If there was Jellyfish M, it could even heal instantly, with no impact other than the lost blood.

“It’s on backward, Sister.”

Shui Yuqianxi was about to reattach the arm when Mumen Se quickly reminded her.

“Oh, it is backward!”

Jia Gu Yiyan: …

Aligning the incision, Shui Yuqianxi gripped the Jellyfish M, activating the power within the Card.

Immediately, a blue Jellyfish phantom materialized, floating and enveloping her fist.

“Jellyfish Punch!”

As Shui Yuqianxi slammed her fist towards the gun muzzle, the Jellyfish phantom also wrapped around the joint.

In an instant, the severed skin, muscles, bones, blood vessels, and nerves began to grow and connect rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the severed arm was restored to its original state, and the pale color of the arm quickly filled with blood and became rosy after being reconnected to the torso.

Seeing this, Shui Yuqianxi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly began to reattach the other hand.

The same operation as the previous arm, following suit, doing it again.

Soon, both of Jia Gu Yiyan's severed arms were reattached and restored to their original state.

“Do you feel any foreign sensation, or stiffness?”

“If any nerves or blood vessels aren’t connected properly, I can give it another punch.”

Shui Yuqianxi looked at Jia Gu Yiyan.

Jia Gu Yiyan swung his arm, feeling only a slight numbness.

It was like sleeping on two arms all night with his head resting on them.

As blood flowed back into both arms, this feeling quickly receded.

“No.”

“As expected of the Sea Spirit Armor, what healing ability!”

“Right, right, you can praise it a few more times, I was almost scared to death during that Russian roulette!”

“When we go back, you have to treat me to a few meals as compensation!”

Shui Yuqianxi was very poor, so getting a free meal often meant getting a free meal.

“I can treat you to meals for a month.”

“If possible, converting it to cash based on three meals a day is also acceptable.”

The woman on the ground completely died at this moment.

Due to the toxicity and continuous bleeding, she had already turned into black smoke without Shui Yuqianxi's intervention, leaving only a monster crystal.

She collected the monster crystal, converting it into a Monster Card.

The surrounding space also began to distort again.

Shui Yuqianxi and Jia Gu Yiyan instinctively moved, shielding Mumen Se in the middle.

Originally, this plan did not require Mumen Se to enter such a dangerous place to fight.

But plans change, and in the previous situation, the only option was to send Mumen Se in.

“Wait, what’s that ahead…”

Jia Gu Yiyan looked at the mist appearing at the front of the alley.

And a dim yellow light.

The current alley, thanks to the special dark power Jia Gu Yiyan had previously extracted, already had a faint moonlight for illumination.

And now, amidst that faint moonlight, the boy's dim yellow light appeared unusually conspicuous.

It was…

‘That streetlamp!’

All three clearly thought of the description in the intelligence.

In this alley, the intelligence mentioned only one streetlamp, and under that streetlamp was!

The mist slowly dissipated, and under the dim yellow streetlamp, everyone saw a pair of tightly closed ancient doors.

Like the main gates of an ancient mansion's courtyard!
