When two small hills collided, the earth trembled at the impact.
The Chain Prison Demon laughed wildly, its massive muscles swinging its heavy fists crazily.
It could sense that the guy opposite looked powerful, but the Abyss Aura was actually not dense enough.
In the plane of the Abyss, most life forms are the result of long-term Abyss Transformation, and those with a rich Abyss Aura are not necessarily super strong, but the strong ones all possess enough Abyss Aura.
It could feel that the muscle strength of the one opposite also couldn’t compare with its own, and this was the basic of the Abyss inhabitants!
Having a God Soldier without knowing how to use it, and stupid enough to engage in hand-to-hand combat with itself!
Abyssal life forms wouldn’t reject any form of one-on-one combat... as long as they could win!
Its fist gave it feedback, even vaguely sensing that the metal shell was deforming... It seemed hollow?
"Haha, Amlok picked up a great bargain...."
The Imprisoned Demon laughed wildly, just like a gorilla that had found a banana.
For it, strength and weakness were already clear; the moment the other party foolishly chose to put down their weapon and fight hand-to-hand, the outcome was certain.....
But suddenly, something felt off.
That heavy and slow Abyss Knight, the great waste it was riding on, seemed to be resisting with more strength than before.
Blazing flames ignited in its eyes, and from the pitch-black wrist, flames could overflow; the next moment, the strength on it doubled.
"How is this possible..."
The Imprisoned Demon couldn’t understand, the opposite’s Abyss Aura hadn’t changed, it was still so weak, how could it...
"Where did this power come from..."
The Troll, beast-like, roared angrily, its muscles swelling once again, bursting forth with an even stronger Abyss Aura.
Using the power of the Abyss to enhance oneself was the basic instinct of an Abyssal creature like itself.
And the metal man opposite only intensified its flame by a bit more.
"The power... doubled?!"
The severe pain in its wrist warned it that something was wrong, the previously vaguely advantageous absolute strength was now being suppressed.
This time, the flames burst forth directly from the armor.
The Imprisoned Demon’s pride, its brute force, was completely overpowered, and with the sound of breaking bones, it felt fear for the first time.
"Aaaaahhh!"
The beast screamed, its mouth widening, not in ineffectual rage but in agony.
The next moment, accompanied by a mouthful of Poison Fog, towards the metal knight, numerous black dots burst forth.
And each black dot, as it approached, transformed into many miniature Magic Monsters... They looked like smaller versions of the Imprisoned Demon.
Imprisoned Demon potentially offspring, or replicas, each one also about the height of a person, muscular to an absurd degree.
As soon as they appeared, they climbed onto the Metal Knight, hitting it with short clubs and trying hard to beat it.
One-on-one? This creature, where is the promise...
And more dangerously, some of them tried to drill into the cracks in the armor... In this moment, the Metal Knight paused for a moment, not out of fear or unease, but because in these "monkeys" he saw familiar faces.
"...Imprisoned Demon offspring, huh?"
Lu Ping’an’s gaze shifted to that metal cage, where some unfortunate souls had just been caught, some now barely recognizable, transformed into half-gorilla, half-human beings.
[Imprisoned Demon Upbringing (Silver Lower Ability): Find some humanoid life forms, place them into a cage constructed of Soul Chains, and after assimilation, they become ’children’ of the Imprisoned Demon.]
Lu Ping’an looked at the "monkey" that had jumped onto his side, some of which had completely mutated into demons, frantically pounding and screeching, while others were crying with tears, smashing their heads against the metal as if seeking death.
There was no saving them now. The most dangerous part of the Imprisoned Demon was the Soul Lock cage it formed, constantly pouring "its own soul" into it and assimilating the prisoners within.
To be honest, after a certain degree of "young" transformation had been completed, at that point, that person was already dead, having become the flesh clone of the Imprisoned Demon... and thus, even if the original Imprisoned Demon was killed, as long as one offspring escaped, a new Imprisoned Demon would inevitably emerge.
Lu Ping’an sighed and reached out into the void.
The metal giant likewise made the exact same motion, raising its hands....
This time, flames spurted directly from his arms as Lu Ping’an activated the "reserve engine."
[Lu Ping’an’s Power Gloves (Upper Brass Cursed Artifact)]
[Function: Heat to Kinetic Energy Conversion (Upper Brass): As mechanical gloves, they can convert heat into kinetic energy.]
A very simple and straightforward explanation, because it was a low-level taboo item temporarily converted through craftsmanship.
Just these gloves alone, they would have been rated at this level.
However, its core was embedded with a pair of "Divine Bone engines," and on the other side of the conventional "flame drive," Lu Ping’an also stored the "Pure Holy Fire" of the Beast God.
Lu Ping’an deliberately downgraded its "level," which could avoid many unnecessary troubles. The real core components were external, to be connected when needed.
Now, it was time to open the "engine module" and start the trial ignition...
The golden Holy Flame scattered quickly, and the power of his arms was erupting.
"Ignition over....10, 9, 8...." Zhi Xi’s countdown still echoed in his ears. This thing was still not stable enough; it was best to keep it within ten seconds.
"Crack." A brittle sound of something breaking echoed across the empty field.
"Awoo awoo awoo awoo!"
But the brittle sound of his arms breaking off, and the monster’s screams of despair, both indicated that Lu Ping’an had overestimated it.
Looking at his own two broken arms, Lu Ping’an thought for a moment and chose to leave them behind... In any case, they were core parts from a high intelligence, high-level magic monster; they should be worth a lot, right?
He picked up the two arms that were wildly spurting blood and looked towards the Imprisoned Demon crawling on the ground.
He stomped down on it, and this time, Lu Ping’an did not hold back.
One stomp, then another, Lu Ping’an had no intention of stopping.
The head that resembled that of a monkey instantly turned into a smashed watermelon, red and white splattering everywhere.
But even just at this level, the Imprisoned Demon still wasn’t finished.
When Lu Ping’an snapped his fingers, the fire lit up the wilderness.
Flames engulfed the body of the Metal Knight, and the juveniles crawling on him turned to ash, some screaming in despair, some attempting to flee, and some revealing smiles of relief.
"Wuu wuu wuu!"
"The Great King of the Abyss, he has won..."
And in that moment, the abyssal denizens and residents watching all cheered.
They were the most neutral audience, never needing to take a predetermined stance; whoever won would receive their cheers, and the winner was the boss.
𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
But at this moment, it still wasn’t over.
Lu Ping’an cast his gaze towards the cage and sighed helplessly.
Giant fingers pried open the cage, releasing the victims inside, who were overjoyed, sobbing uncontrollably, and then...
A massive palm descended from the heavens, and a "human" was instantly reduced to a bloodstain.
"He, he..."
Screams accompanied by despair spread, but Lu Ping’an didn’t feel the need to explain; he just silently watched, looking towards the next one...
Another was hammered to death, and the ground was strewn with another patch of flesh.
Soon, the two "human" corpses began to change; their skin peeled away, their muscles swelled up, transforming from human corpses to muscular monkey corpses.
"Juveniles can infiltrate the mortal world and can even use the victim’s connections and memories, but their intelligence is limited to that of a monkey, and they often have a craving, at most causing a few bloody cases...."
Listening to Big Cat’s words, Lu Ping’an opened his eyes.
He was capturing the life fluctuations of "it," searching for its last.....
This time, it was the last half-monkey still rolling around in the cage.
When everything ended, the metal chains and the cage also lost their luster, seeming to turn to a gray stone structure.
Soulbound Weapons lost their souls and turned into tangible rare soul materials... but unusually, Lu Ping’an couldn’t be happy.
The one he had just killed was from Ancient City University.
Although they had only exchanged a few words in training and never spoken privately, he still recognized the person.
He sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.
"...Is this the Abyss?"
This time, it was still a question, but the tone was affirmative.
"This is the Abyss, one of the largest quagmires of the multi-universe, the Land of Despair with no hope and no future." Big Cat gave a heartfelt answer, for even at her most desperate she hadn’t thought about mingling with the abyssal quagmire.
