At this moment, countless satellites in the sky were fixed intently on this place.
The Giant Beast and the Giant were in combat to the death.
The Giant Beast was repeatedly regenerating, infinitely expanding, possessing nearly infinite Life Force as well as nearly infinite gambles.
At this moment, even though many could see that the Beast had lost its mind, very few had faith in the powerful and swift Golden Knight.
"He’s quite formidable, but... the gap is just too large."
In fact, the more knowledgeable the observer, the less they believed Lu Ping’an could win.
𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Via certain channels, wagers on how long the Golden Knight would be killed had started again... This time, ninety percent of those qualified to bet, chose the seemingly invincible Magical Beast.
"It’s not his fault, but this is reality, the two sides are just on entirely different magnitudes."
The Life system, just like Lu Ping’an’s essence, is the terrible Profession that treats Life as currency, chips, weapons, and toys.
A gambling table... needs chips... Theoretically, as long as the chips reach a certain level of overwhelming advantage, it’s impossible to lose.
"Tenfold? Hundredfold? Thousandfold?"
Countless Extraordinary surveillance measures concluded that the monster’s energy levels kept changing, but no matter how you calculated it, the lead was always in the triple digits.
"Lu Ping’an can’t win, Bane... that monster that once was Bane, after losing its mind and self, also obtained an extraordinary strength that has long surpassed Quasi-God. The monster can make countless mistakes, but Lu Ping’an can’t afford even one."
A hammer smashing an egg—that’s the prediction most top figures had made.
Once "collided" with once, that glorious and powerful Golden Knight would turn into fragments scattered on the ground.
But that "mistake", however, was long in coming.
"....Clumsy."
The smaller Golden Knight maintained control of the battlefield, despite being only a small fraction of the opponent’s energy level, yet never receiving the "fatal blow" predicted by the Big Shots.
"Perfect bodily Skills."
"Godlike combat Skills."
"The true Martial God."
Praises were continually being heaped upon that "driver."
The top combat powers watching this battle certainly had the eye for appreciation.
That woman dancing amidst Blade Edges, that soul wielding the perfect body, continually danced flawlessly, never once making a slip.
That was the true Martial God, a master of perfect physical control, and perhaps, was also facing the Dead from her own past...
Another strike, and the massive Magic Monster was again torn through the middle, with that huge gash still undergoing Crystal Erosion.
Ripping and Regeneration, within just over ten seconds, it was fully restored.
The twisted beast’s head roared, perhaps, a Life had perished... replaced by a new controller, the creature from the "Beast Nest" let out another roar.
As many had assessed, a battle between Life systems is a competition of "chips" from both sides, Undying-nature is almost basic, but now it seemed, the Beast’s chips were potentially hundreds of times that of a "person’s."
And the Golden Knight, though also regenerating rapidly, even if their consumption was merely a fraction of their opponent’s, was still full of cracks, riddled with wounds, and seemingly struggling to keep up.
"Deferred payment..."
Suddenly, the massive Metal Knight became brand-new.
"Holy Flame..."
The burning blaze expelled the Beast’s poison and Erosion.
"Crystal Body..."
The damaged body’s fissures had closed again, and this time, the fragile areas had been reinforced with armor, and the less efficient parts had been directly replaced.
Eve, Lu Pingfan, Little Flame, and so on... one by one, "Biological Components" had been renewed, and the Golden Knight, reborn and rejuvenated, became even stronger and more perfect.
"Let’s end it all," multiple voices merged into one as the Golden Knight again displayed formidable suppressive force. The vast Magic Monster was relentlessly torn, segmented, and eroded, with large amounts of "life currency" turned into worthless flesh fragments.
"Incredible, how did it integrate so many ’existences’?"
"This body, it’s unbelievable, a perfect war platform..."
"With a pilot like this, with a machine like this, perhaps a miracle can truly happen."
The perfect Quasi-God’s soul was the software foundation that dared to triumph over the strong as the weak, to fight one against a hundred.
And Lu Ping’an, the architect and coordinator of this tactical platform, the silent support who always endured everything, the young man who entrusted his and his companions’ lives to that soul, was their hardware core.
"I... we, will win."
A calm male voice and an angry female voice ultimately merged into one.
No slogans, no oaths of certain victory, just a matter-of-fact statement.
Perhaps, they didn’t have the advantage in numbers, perhaps, there were orders of magnitude differences in hardware power, perhaps, a single existence couldn’t possibly resist even a casual strike...
"We, are stronger..."
Yes, it wasn’t about triumphing as the underdog, but simply that when we combined forces, we were stronger, and so we would win.
The Golden Knight no longer remembered how many times it had torn its opponent’s body, how many times it had "killed" its foe in a mortal sense.
The Way of the Mother God’s infinite life? Ha, there’s no such thing as true infinite in this world.
Not enough to kill once? Ten times? A hundred times? A thousand times?
"I won’t make a mistake, I will crush it completely."
"I won’t break down, I will endure to the very end."
No need for spoken words in the channel of thoughts, no need for impassioned slogans, just completing their own "jobs."
Sword? Bow and arrow? Long spear? Facing the endlessly evolving Beasts, the Golden Knight also displayed almost infinite martial skills.
Claws? Ripping? Slamming? When necessary, she was more a beast than her opponent.
The relentless battle continued, veins burst and were reattached.
Death repeated infinitely, both sides continually spending the currency of life.
One coin, two coins... a hundred coins, a thousand coins; blood will eventually run dry.
Night turned to day, and the beast lived and then died.
Fighting, rending, struggling... the will persisted, and at some moment, the Beasts became afraid, but the Golden Hunter could not let it go.
It could still regenerate, but much slower.
It could still evolve, but the newborn was much more cowardly.
It was still reviving... but this time, the newborn had shrunk significantly.
"The day has brightened again..."
At that moment, even the steely resolve felt a tremble, as the Northern Land sunlight poured down, making Lu Ping’an and Chris feel a hint of warmth.
The Golden Knight stood atop the hill, surrounded by various golden weapons, all of which were thrust into the once invincible Magic Monster.
He... they put down the beast’s head, staring at the Giant Beast’s body that was gradually turning to ash, somewhat in a trance.
"Did we win?"
"Mm, we won."
