634: Chapter 686: After defeating the demigod, I stepped into Sequence 7!

Kui roared at Xu and the other demigods while defending himself.

He demanded they come to help.

Otherwise, if things continued like this, he would undoubtedly die.

What frustrated Kui was that An Ke's move was essentially trapping a turtle in a jar.

He estimated that from the moment An Ke captured them, he had already planned to kill anyone who didn't take his side.

However, after exchanging looks, Xu and the other demigods tacitly chose to turn a blind eye.

What a joke.

Help Kui at a time like this?

Wouldn't that mean they would also have to face so many demigods?

They were still rejoicing that they hadn't been dragged in; why would they go looking for trouble themselves?

Even lower organisms wouldn't go looking for death.

Therefore, it was best to just act as if they hadn't heard anything.

Kui watched as Xu and the other demigods turned their heads to look in other directions, as if they were admiring the scenery.

He was absolutely livid.

He roared maniacally, "If you don't act, you'll die too!"

"It's better to join forces and resist; maybe there's still a way out."

"Xu!!! Don't you guys understand yet?"

"Aaaahhh!!"

The beam erupted by Nicole blasted through the corner of Kui's clothes and pierced through his origin.

This strike made Kui scream in agony; it hurt too much.

His origin being pierced was something that had never happened before.

At that moment, little Roman, holding Three Hairs, arrived behind Kui.

She said with a chuckle, "Don't waste your breath."

"Everyone here is a smart person."

"How could they possibly let you drag them down with you?"

"To be honest, the fact that they aren't kicking you while you're down is already very benevolent of them."

"You really are a bad person~~"

Kui clearly knew that his death was inevitable today.

His frantic attempts to get Xu and the other demigods to act were just to drag several people down with him.

He didn't intend to be the only one to die.

But since they had all grown to become demigods, how could they be so foolish?

Everyone knew clearly that since An Ke hadn't moved against them yet...

As long as they maintained the right attitude afterward, there was a high probability An Ke wouldn't strike again.

Anyone who wanted to live wouldn't possibly intervene.

"Bye-bye now!"

Little Roman brought down the dagger that was Three Hairs, slashing toward Kui's robe.

Having suffered attacks from the other demigods earlier, Kui was already at his wit's end.

Little Roman's strike made it impossible for him to continue sustaining his life; his robe was slashed open, shattering into pieces.

"No!!!"

Kui hissed in despair.

But very quickly, his gaze became ruthless and venomous.

"If I'm going to die, I'm taking you all down with me!"

Kui didn't just want to drag a few people down as cushions; he also wanted to prevent An Ke from obtaining the core.

The method was simple: self-detonation.

He would make his origin undergo fission and explode, just like a planet's core.

“Hahahaha!”

“You forced my hand!!”

Lines of fire began to appear within Kui's darkness, looking like a sun about to crack apart.

Energy continuously surged and poured out.

The expressions of Xu and the other demigods changed drastically.

They knew all too well what Kui intended to do.

Self-detonation of the origin.

At such close range, even if they didn't die, they would lose a layer of skin.

Their origins would very likely suffer heavy damage.

If they were outside, they could use their spatial abilities to leave.

But right now, they were inside An Ke's storage space.

The space was only so large; there was nowhere to escape to.

They might even suffer greater damage from the origin explosion due to the limitations of this space.

Xu and the other demigods all looked toward An Ke.

Ai Li, Yi Wu, and the others also turned their gazes to An Ke.

"Excellency, throw Kui out quickly."

Ai Li hurriedly reminded him.

"A demigod triggering their own origin to explode is incredibly terrifying in power."

"It's about ten times his usual strength."

"If we get caught in it, there will be big trouble."

All the contestants present watched An Ke with fear in their hearts.

They were afraid An Ke didn't know the terrifying power of an origin explosion.

Or perhaps they hoped An Ke had a trump card that could resolve this crisis.

But everyone felt that such a trump card didn't exist.

The reason was simple: the explosive power was too great.

However, everyone saw that An Ke was still deep in thought, as if he hadn't noticed the impending disaster nearby at all.

“Hahaha, hahahaha!”

Kui laughed maniacally as he looked at the indifferent An Ke.

His dark cheeks also began to crack.

“Are you reluctant to lose my origin?”

“Since you're reluctant, then let's gamble and see if you can suppress my origin explosion.”

“Here it comes~~ feel the terror of an origin explosion!”

“Before you die, remember to feel regret!”

Kui: "Boom!!!"

Kui provided his own sound effect and immediately triggered the self-detonation.

But soon, he was shocked to find that his self-detonation actually didn't work.

His origin was like a jammed machine, showing no reaction at all.

Even though he urged it, he couldn't feel the slightest movement.

"What's going on?"

Kui looked shocked.

He kept urging it, "Explode! Explode already!!"

"Why! Why!?"

Kui grew anxious, screaming at the top of his lungs.

Meanwhile, Xu and the other demigods were also completely bewildered.

What was the situation?

Why wouldn't it explode?

The origin belonged to Kui himself; as long as he willed it, no one should be able to stop the origin explosion.

But now it had malfunctioned, like it had lost its signal.

Just as everyone was wondering, Hua Hua came flying through the air.

She was still holding a bamboo stalk in her hand.

While eating, she said with a smile, "Why else? Because this is my home court."

"If I want the origin not to explode, it won't explode."

"So, no matter how long you try, you won't succeed."

Hearing this, Kui couldn't help but be stunned.

He looked at Hua Hua in confusion. "This world is your home court? What does that mean?"

"Wait..."

Kui seemed to have thought of something.

When he first saw Hua Hua, she had easily raised a paw and shattered Xiao's illusion.

"Could it be that this is a mental domain you created?"

Hua Hua's mouth was stuffed with food, but she praised him upon hearing this, "Not bad, not bad! Your guess is quite good!"

"You're absolutely right!"

"This is indeed my mental domain."

Kui only felt shock in his heart.

When had he been affected by the opponent?

He hadn't noticed the slightest thing.

But now was not the time to think about such things.

Since he knew this was a dream, Kui planned to break the mental domain and return to reality.

In any case, he would just do everything he just did all over again.

But at that moment, Kui felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

The pain was so great that he couldn't even maintain his demigod form, revealing his true appearance.

It was a giant toad.

However, it had a human-like form.

With this strike, Kui felt his body go limp and powerless.

At the same time, the surrounding scenery began to change.

The originally devastated space returned to its original state.

There was sunlight, grass, and a beautiful day...
