Chapter 2014: Weakness Is the Original Sin
Boundless sharpness burst forth from Wuzang's body!
The surrounding high-temperature, high-pressure iron-nickel liquid substances seemed to become an extension of Wuzang's body at this moment!
Lance stared at Wuzang in disbelief. "I never knew you had an ability!"
Wuzang's entire body was glowing red, holding his sword with both hands as the iron-nickel substances around him churned endlessly!
As if they all carried the edge of his blade!
This wasn't just Quinn's home turf—it was Wuzang's turf too!
Even as the void fire burned his body, it couldn't stop Wuzang from swinging his blade!
"Full concentration!"
He raised the Godslayer Blade high, his spirit and energy highly condensed, merging his will with the blade!
"Mountain of Blades, Sea of Fire: Slash!"
In that instant, Wuzang's Godslayer Blade slashed fiercely toward Quinn's massive Yang God Body!
Extreme blade light bloomed in that moment, blazing like the sun's corona!
At the same time, all the iron-nickel liquid metal within his domain was also infected by the sharpness!
With Wuzang's slash, those liquid metals all condensed into crimson blade edges!
Numbering a million, forming a magnificent torrent of blades, they wildly slashed toward Quinn!
One slash from me is a million slashes!
And the power of those crimson blades was no weaker than Wuzang's own strikes!
Even though Quinn's Yang God Body radiated astonishingly high heat, it couldn't burn away a million blades!
In an instant, the giant Yang Body was slashed to pieces!
But it constantly absorbed heat from the surroundings to sustain itself!
"Damn it! I told you, you can't kill me. The Sacred Flame is immortal!"
Even so, Quinn had almost no strength left to attack the star core shield anymore!
He could only focus on defending against Wuzang's attacks!
But Wuzang's slashes never stopped since he deployed his domain!
A million blades washed over the Yang God Body again and again, shattering it!
This terrifying attack power was insane!
Just then, Jiang Ning suddenly charged into Wuzang's body, using Bose particles to cool down the void fire on Wuzang while also replicating his ability!
"Domain Expansion: Endless Sharpness! Mountain of Blades, Sea of Fire!"
Instantly, Jiang Ning deployed two domains simultaneously, the liquid metal condensing into countless crimson blades that slashed at the Yang God Body!
But the power was far weaker than Wuzang's attacks. Jiang Ning's blades lacked spirit and energy, lacking the resolve to cut through everything!
Only form, no intent!
Yet it still damaged Quinn!
At this moment, Quinn was being sliced ten thousand times!
But he still tried to break through the star core shield!
Suddenly, Lance's eyes bulged. "Soul Sever!"
Infinite psychic power turned into a spiritual attack and burst forth instantly!
"Boom!"
The moment it struck Quinn, large areas of the Sacred Flame on the Yang God Body scattered, and even the rate of energy absorption stalled!
Lance's eyes lit up. Right! A form like this requires consciousness to control. If I cut Quinn's mind into a vegetable…
The Sacred Flame would also be extinguished!
"Slash again!"
At the same time, Jiang Ning also launched a Soul Sever attack at Quinn!
The three powerhouses poured everything into Quinn, determined to cut him down!
Even so, Quinn still endured!
"Void Fire: Six Viscera! Burn! Let's see who outlasts who!"
Instantly, the void fire on Lance and Wuzang flared even brighter, as if they might be scorched to charcoal at any moment!
Lance screamed in agony, but Wuzang completely ignored his body. He didn't care—he just kept slashing!
Jiang Ning could only continuously use Bose particles to cool and freeze them both!
Lance gritted his steel teeth. If they didn't find a way to sever Quinn's ability to absorb heat, who knows how many years it would take to kill him!
Before that, he and Wuzang would both be burned to death!
"To hell with it! Soul Echo: Stillness!"
A strange psychic wave burst forth violently, slamming into the Yang God Body!
The raging Yang God Body suddenly calmed down, and even the rate of heat absorption slowed!
Quinn seemed to fall into a daze!
But he still maintained heat absorption, as if it had become instinct, though far weaker than before!
Lance's forehead veins bulged, his eyes bloodshot. "Quinn's willpower is strong. This state won't last long. Take the chance! Now!"
In that moment, Wuzang and Jiang Ning used all their strength, wildly slashing at the Yang God Body!
…
Quinn felt everything distancing from him. He wasn't at the planet's core, not on a mission!
Instead, he had returned to his weakest moment. Everyone has memories they least want to recall, but can't forget, buried deep in the heart, never brought out!
Soul Echo plunged people into those memories, because only the memories you least want to recall make you sink into them, unable to escape—like a nightmare!
It was a room filled with warmth and family love—at least, that's how it was in Quinn's memory!
At that time, the Spiritual Energy Revival had just begun, beast tides ravaged the world, order collapsed, and cities burned!
Ten-year-old Quinn was frantically carried by his mother into the bedroom closet and hidden, covered with clothes!
His mother repeatedly instructed, "No matter what! No matter what happens, don't come out, understand?"
Quinn was scared. He wanted to ask, but the closet door was closed. He could only hide in the closet, looking through the gap in the door into the room!
"Bang!"
The door was violently kicked open. His father, who had been blocking the door, stumbled into the room, blood at the corner of his mouth!
Seven or eight fierce-looking, tattooed men burst into the room!
His father begged desperately, "It's hard for everyone, please don't hurt us. Do you want money or…"
Before he finished, the leading tattooed man's arm turned into a metal long blade, piercing through his father's chest. Blood stained the floor!
Quinn's eyes widened, his hands and feet cold, his body trembling. The light through the closet crack shone on his face. The people who rushed in seemed like demons!
His mother collapsed in tears, rushing recklessly toward the twitching, blood-spitting corpse of her husband!
"How could this be? What did we do wrong? You'll get your retribution, you bastards! The Enforcement Team won't let you off!"
The tattooed man sneered. "Law? The whole world is screwed. You talk to me about law?"
"Housewife? Cute little thing, huh? Cry, cry. The more you cry, the more flavor you have!"
"Wail under your husband's corpse. Just thinking about it gets me excited. Serve me well, and maybe I'll let you live!"
As he spoke, he licked his lips, grabbed Quinn's mother by the hair, and dragged her toward the bed!
"Let go! Let go of me! You animals!"
Struggle as she might, she couldn't resist the tattooed man. The sound of tearing clothes mixed with desperate screams!
And the wild laughter of the seven or eight men!
"Slap!"
"Be good! What are you squirming for? Move again and I'll kill you! No one can save you. If you want to live, do as I say!"
A slap landed on Quinn's mother's face, immediately swelling her cheek!
Quinn's mother stared at the closet, tears streaming, shaking her head continuously!
Close your eyes! Don't come out!
Quinn clenched his fists, staring at this scene, his golden eyes seeming to burn, everything inside him boiling!
Why! What did we do wrong? Why treat us like this!
Hatred grew wildly in his heart. He wished all these people were dead!
"Boom!"
The entire closet, along with the clothes inside, burst into raging flames!
The tattooed man flinched, swung his blade, and slashed at the closet:
"What the hell!"
Little Quinn's whole body was burning. The tattooed man pulled up his pants and immediately slashed at Quinn!
"Missed a brat? Don't ruin my fun!"
But Quinn, fists clenched tightly, erupted completely. Golden flames suddenly erupted from the seven or eight men, burning fiercely!
Screaming, struggling!
The raging fire swept through the entire room, glass shattered, everything turned to charcoal under the intense heat!
He had completely lost control!
When he came to his senses, everyone in the room had turned to charcoal!
Quinn walked numbly to his mother!
She, too, had become charcoal, her face still frozen in desperate terror!
"Mom… wake up…"
The moment he touched her body, the charcoal-like corpse crumbled to pieces!
Quinn's eyes were full of terror. He stumbled back two steps and fell to the ground, tears flowing endlessly!
"S-sorry… I didn't mean to… I…"
Did he kill his mom? Yes…
Just then, a squad of over twenty people burst into the room, looking at the charcoal everywhere, then at Quinn sitting on the ground, their expressions ferocious!
"What's going on? Damn it! Little brat!"
Black gun muzzles aimed at Quinn!
But Quinn just stared blankly at the shattered charcoal…
The next moment, a flash of Bose light filled the room, endless cold enveloped everything. Igor appeared in the room with Ruisen and Ruiya!
Everyone turned to frozen ice and shattered!
Igor looked at Quinn, his eyes flickering. A good seedling. His ability was interesting!
Quinn kept wiping his tears, his face pale. "Why? Why did this happen? What did we do wrong? Mother, she…"
Igor said calmly, "You did nothing wrong. Your only fault is being too weak!"
"In this world, weakness is the original sin! No matter how strong you become, there will always be someone stronger who takes away everything you care about!"
Quinn looked up, his face streaked with tears, looking at Igor!
"Weakness is the original sin?"
Igor nodded. "If you don't want to lose what you care about anymore, then turn this world into the way you want it to be. Become the maker of the rules!"
"Become the master of this world! Then everything will go as you wish!"
"Come with me. I'll let you stand at the pinnacle!"
Quinn clenched his fists, wiped away his tears. To no longer be weak, to protect those he cared about—even if it meant hurting others!
He didn't care!
"I'll go with you!"
At that moment, only ten-year-old Quinn took Igor's hand, and on the back of his hand appeared a slave mark…
