"The good news is that the other side can’t kill me, the bad news is I also can’t kill them..."
The giant monster had nearly infinite Life Force, and with it came almost boundless physical strength.
But its body...
"...It can’t fully digest those professionals, the Professional Skills it uses are quite low-end, its main mystery (Contamination) even comes from my Bloodvine, but..."
The monster was going berserk, every one of its attacks created new craters and earthquakes.
"...With a body of this size, punches and kicks alone could destroy the world, and to top it off, it truly has an Undying Body."
If the three-wishes monster hadn’t ingested the "Bloodvine," its low degree of mystique might have been a weakness.
But now, having evolved with Bloodvine armor, most of Lu Ping’an’s attacks were rendered ineffective... Even if he pierced through its skin and flesh, it could easily regenerate.
With its surging Life Force not yet depleted, it was truly an Undying Body, and if Lu Ping’an took just one punch, he would probably be ready for burial.
The blaze that burned Life was meaningless to it, the Biochemical Nuclear Bomb’s breed improvement that granted it fire resistance, in turn, became an issue for Lu Ping’an’s side.
This is the trouble with the "Life force snowball"; as long as it keeps on Fusing, it can evolve almost infinitely.
"Rotten flesh..."
The obvious weakness seemed to be its limbs made of rotten flesh and rubble, not to mention being tough, they would fall apart while fighting.
But then, the infinite expansion of Life Force would resuscitate it.
What frustrated Lu Ping’an the most was still his own "Bloodvine"; the opponent unreasonably made it a part of itself, not only enhancing its physical defense but also forcing Lu Ping’an to be careful of a death caused by the Bloodvine draining him.
He lightly patted the stone in front of him and created a large number of "wild cats."
At this moment, the battlefield was littered with Lu Ping’an’s Summoning Beasts, real forests, wildly roaring Beasts, and countless so-called "Life forms," real and fake.
Lu Ping’an’s new ability was not particularly strong, but it was very convenient and versatile.
Lu Ping’an was wearing down the opponent’s "physical strength" and was also disrupting their scouting methods... but he knew that even if he tired himself out, he couldn’t outlast the opponent.
"It has been thoroughly cleared out..."
"Most people have gone mad meow, it’s too late meow..."
That message was perhaps the only good news.
At least for a short time, Lu Ping’an didn’t have to worry about a second wish being made by an outsider.

"What is your wish..."
"Lu Ping’an, what exactly do you want..."
Lu Ping’an gently patted his head, suppressing the surging desires within.
Even with the Life Bank resisting the Curse of the Life system, Lu Ping’an was still under tremendous pressure... Such power might not compare to a Deity in absolute strength, but it is vaguely superior in terms of "quality."
"Want to eat."
"Want to sleep."
"I wish I could just be a homebody for ten years...."
But when Lu Ping’an’s true desires were unearthed by the other party, he himself found it a bit amusing.
He never had too many life goals, and in fact, after his cravings for "food and clothing" and "health" were satisfied, he was just living his days in a relatively "active" manner.
He took this step today, probably due to external and internal pressures... As the team leader, he carried a lot of things he couldn’t refuse, and as someone with power, he wasn’t cold-blooded enough to ignore so much misfortune and injustice.
"Since I’ve come this far, I might as well keep going."
"Since I can’t ignore it, I’ll just do a little something within my capabilities."
Lu Ping’an’s "calm" might be because he simply had no great "luxurious desires."
He was actually a bit hopeful, a bit expectant that this master of wishes could really extract something from himself....
"My greatest desire is merely ’a peaceful life’?"
When his greatest longing turned out to be "not going to work and being a homebody for ten years," he himself felt it was peculiar.
He was a bit disappointed, after all, he had heard that even pursuing the rules or even the World’s Reason, is a part of "the road of concept," whereas his desires seemed "petty" compared to others’.
He was also somewhat pleased, because the moment he suddenly looked back, he realized he had changed a lot, but some things had always remained the same....
"The pursuit of power is to live more comfortably...."
Lu Ping’an took a deep breath, feeling a bit satisfied but also apprehensive; he didn’t dare to call for reinforcements for help anymore.
Unlike him, each one of them carried "misfortunes" and "extreme desires," and if he was barely able to cope, they likely wouldn’t be spared either.
The Giant monster before him was clearly unbalanced; it was extremely powerful, but 99% of its strength came from its massive Life Force reserves translating into "Physical force," and what really posed a threat was always the power of its "desire" at the core.
Once again using Life-points, he created a group of losers using the omnipresent stones.
With the Naming ability, as long as he had enough Life-points, Lu Ping’an was also nearly an "Infinite" existence.
Infinite Life encountering infinite "Life-points," it’s hard to say who would ultimately win....
"If this continues, it will surely be a losing battle."
Lu Ping’an himself didn’t want to continue depleting his resources.
He faintly sensed that the opponent seemed a bit anxious... If the opponent really gave up on him and chose to leave, finding a densely populated area, he likely wouldn’t be able to stop it.
"All elements are effective, but not very impactful...."
"Physical damage works, but the recovery is too fast...."
"The Left-behind Student’s ’adjective’ empowerment all failed, most Rule System abilities are meaningless against this creature... Its grade is too high."
Lu Ping’an was both depleting and probing, yet he was faced with the near invincibility of his opponent.
In some sense, this was a low-budget version of a "High-dimensional god," possessing an "Infinite divine body" and the "Unique authority," but lacking the accompanying powers - otherwise, Lu Ping’an would have been finished already.
It was like an engine with immense horsepower that, even without the corresponding systems to utilize its full potential, was not something Lu Ping’an, a mere bicycle, could transcend.
Lu Ping’an had tried all the chips at his disposal, excluding a few too dangerous and uncontrollable ones, the rest had been essentially deemed ineffective.
The fundamental gap in "absolute power" made all of Lu Ping’an’s attempts eventually futile.
He took a deep breath, knowing he probably only had one shot left to gamble on.
