Almost instantly, Chu Zhenzhen poured all her spiritual power into the creation. She was enveloped in golden light. Behind her, a huge silver-white gear gradually emerged, rotating with a clattering sound. Her hair seemed like molten gold, cooling and solidifying in the air. Her pupils spun continuously, electronic codes iterating rapidly. At the same time, her right hand twisted and deformed, transforming into a photon cannon amidst the golden light, and her legs were replaced by machinery.
S-level deity: Mech Ancestor!
In the back row of the audience, Chu Zhi stood up abruptly, exclaiming in disbelief, "How is this possible? How can she summon an S-level deity?!"
Gao Yuan was watching the match in front of the immersion pod. When he saw Chu Zhenzhen's form after invoking the deity, he was so shocked he fell off his stool. "Am I crazy, or is she crazy? Isn't she like Old Master Chu Dao, only able to invoke the A-level deity Mech King? Call that old man back! I quit! I quit! At this rate, I won't see tomorrow's sunrise!"
Nothing related to Chu Ran ever went according to plan!
"It's the S-level deity, Mech Ancestor." Yu Mei frowned at the scene inside the field.
A Spiritist's invoked deity level was basically fixed, unless there was a qualitative change in spiritual power. Before this, Chu Zhenzhen had always been like Old Master Chu Dao, with the A-level deity Mech King. That was why Chu Dao valued Chu Zhenzhen so much, even condoning Lin Shenyin and Chu Heng's neglect and bullying of Chu Ran.
Chu Zhenzhen had undergone strict physical examinations before her release, with no signs of spiritual power improvement.
"The God Summoning Society!" Chu Zhi immediately understood, gritting his teeth in rage. "Idiot, what an idiot! Lin Shenyin sold out the God Summoning Society completely to protect Chu Zhenzhen. The God Summoning Society is always brutal towards traitors. As the traitor's daughter, why would they kindly help her improve her spiritual power? Chu Zhenzhen has destroyed her own future!"
The moment he cursed, a loud explosion sounded inside the battlefield.
A photon cannon shot straight at Chu Ran's head, exploding within two seconds. A blinding light covered the combat zone, making it hard to keep eyes open.
But when the light faded, there was no blood or gore.
Chu Ran's whole body was glowing gold, her expression calm.
The SS-level deity's Vajra Indestructible Body was enough to withstand an S-level deity's photon cannon.
Now her hair was as short as monkey fur, her cheeks covered in brown fur, a red cape wrapped around half her body, shielding her front. The black long rod in her hand had become the Golden Cudgel, standing by her side.
This time after invoking the deity, her form was even closer to the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. If measured by percentage, her deification level was close to ninety-five percent.
Chu Zhenzhen seemed to have anticipated this, but her expression darkened.
Chu Ran's fingers moved slightly. The Golden Cudgel, as if possessing its own consciousness, rapidly enlarged in the air and shot straight at Chu Zhenzhen's face.
Bang.
The Golden Cudgel smashed into a silver-gray metal shield, producing a cracking sound as cracks appeared.
With another finger lift, the Golden Cudgel flipped quickly.
Chu Zhenzhen didn't dare summon another shield to withstand it; she quickly slid backward. At the same time, her left and right hands transformed into multi-frequency electronic guns. Within seconds, dense electromagnetic bullets shot toward Chu Ran.
Chu Ran stood still, her eyelids slightly raised. The next second, a clone appeared in front of her. The clone held a golden long rod in both hands, spinning it rapidly, forming an indestructible barrier.
The electromagnetic bullets were deflected, hitting the combat platform, exploding into countless huge craters. Amidst the smoke, Chu Zhenzhen's resentful and unwilling eyes pierced through.
"If you don't fight with your life, you'll never hurt Chu Ran."
In a trance, the cold, seductive voice of the white coat sounded in her ear. "Talent is an insurmountable chasm. As an S-level spiritual power user, you should understand that deeply. Chu Ran summons an SS-level deity, while you, even after becoming a test subject, can only summon an S-level deity. You must want to avenge your mother, right? You must hate Chu Ran for reducing you to this state... Then burn your life. Let hatred become a bullet that can pierce any obstacle, penetrating Chu Ran's head. Making her fall with you is the best ending, isn't it?"
Chu Zhenzhen felt as if she were hallucinating. She seemed to be back in that dark interrogation room, surrounded by disgusted and disdainful looks stabbing into her like needles. She could still feel the warmth of her mother's embrace before she was taken away. Everyone said her mother was unforgivable, but she didn't believe it, she didn't accept it. It was just bad luck; Chu Ran was just lucky. If the world truly judged right and wrong by good and evil, then how could Chu Ran have been forced to go to the garbage dump to wait for death?
The victor is king, and can set all rules!
A maniacal rage gradually ignited in her eyes. Her mother would never come back, and she could never be the proud daughter of heaven again. Rather than saying this was their retribution, it was more like a wake-up call from heaven.
She would do everything, at the cost of her life, to correct the error of fate!
Golden light gradually appeared in the field. One by one, phantoms rose from the ground and gradually solidified.
Chu Ran frowned slightly. She naturally didn't intend to wait until Chu Zhenzhen had prepared her ultimate move before attacking.
Once again, she poured spiritual power into the Golden Cudgel. Countless figures appeared beside her. Mist rose beneath the many clones' feet. In an instant, Chu Zhenzhen was surrounded by clones.
Long rods raised high, forming an airtight cage.
Chu Zhenzhen seemed to sense something. She quickly merged her life force and spiritual power, pouring them into her creation. Blood and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and the countless mechanical snakes on the ground came to life.
Without any command, the mechanical snakes, like hungry beasts seeing delicious food, viciously leaped and bit at their target.
Clang, clang—the mechanical snakes bit at the Vajra Body but couldn't penetrate, falling down.
Ants can kill an elephant.
With too many mechanical snakes, one finally managed to bite Chu Ran's thigh.
Blood splattered; the bitten flesh turned into energy in the mechanical snake's mouth.
Chu Ran's expression didn't change, as if she felt no pain. She lightly tapped her finger, and the Golden Cudgel flashed back quickly, like a huge grinding wheel, swiftly harvesting the lives of the mechanical snakes.
Outside the field, Gao Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Good, good. It seemed that the crushing power could prevent any unexpected tragedy. His requirements were now extremely low—as long as this mess was something he, no, something Yu Mei and Andrew could clean up.
The clones' raised long rods had already come crashing down.
The audience seemed to hear the sound of Chu Zhenzhen's skull breaking.
But no one expected that Chu Zhenzhen could still move at this moment. Her entire body transformed into a huge pistol, with the creation as a logo at the bottom of the pistol.
Without any pause, the howling bullet, like a scythe of death, precisely aimed at Chu Ran.
The life force, spiritual power, and faint divine power contained in this bullet were completely materialized on its surface.
"Watch out!" Jian in the audience couldn't help standing up and shouting.
Chu Ran's expression was indifferent. Her eyes fixed on the bullet as if thinking about something. At the same time, the Golden Cudgel instantly became extremely thick, like a primordial divine tree billions of years old, blocking in front of Chu Ran, preserving all life.
That bullet got stuck inside the Golden Cudgel.
Half the bullet head was embedded, but it didn't penetrate.
Almost the moment it got stuck, it began to dissipate.
A sharp alarm sounded within the battlefield: "Combatant is facing death! Combatant is facing death!"
The Spiritist Tournament preliminaries were set in StarNet to avoid unnecessary casualties. However, the original founders never imagined that someone would choose to dissipate their soul within StarNet.
The long rod hit the ground.
Chu Zhenzhen was nowhere to be seen.
A long beep: "Dri—"
"Spiritist Tournament preliminaries, Central Star time 10:28, combatant Chu Zhenzhen deceased."
"Upon inspection, it was self-inflicted death. No party responsible."
Chu Ran touched her heart with her right hand.
In her original world, death was the end of everything. But in this world with divine power, she didn't know where people went after death.
If the original owner's consciousness still had traces, then may she rest in peace, briefly.
None
