Colonial Suit

Blue light splashed, and halos of light exploded on the Blood瞳's spirit body. Fragments of blue light were peeled off.

In just an instant, his spirit body dimmed by another third. The loss of mental power gave him a splitting headache.

But what kind of tenacity did Blood瞳 possess? Even in such pain, he still gritted his teeth, made a balling motion in the air, and disappeared from the spot in the next moment. A gust of wind swept through, and his speed reached its peak, making it difficult to discern with the naked eye.

However, the bandage merchant on the opposite side didn't even glance at him, simply saying indifferently, "When the eyes can't keep up with the enemy's movements, you must choose intuition. Train your intuition, make it part of your instinct. Use intuition to replace your eyes. A strictly trained warrior's intuition can even be like a photonic hologram, reconstructing everything around them in their mind. No one can escape their tracking."

Before he finished speaking, the bandage merchant raised his finger and unleashed another chaotic wind, concentrating the point of impact at a certain spot in the void. With a bang, Blood瞳's figure was immediately blasted out of the void by him, flying out like a sack.

This time, Blood瞳 ultimately failed to recover his posture in time, and his body directly pierced into a rocky ground, blasting a large pit in it.

But this was just the beginning. Without seeing any movement from the bandage merchant, he floated up like a ghost and appeared above Blood瞳 in the blink of an eye. Immediately following was a stomp.

Earth and rocks splashed everywhere. Blood瞳 was instantly stomped into the ground by him.

Only then did the bandage merchant raise his right hand. Visibly, streaks of blue starlight emanated from his body, then gradually gathered on his right hand. As time passed, the light on his right hand grew brighter and brighter, eventually becoming like a miniature sun. The bandage merchant sighed and threw a punch.

Weight Bombardment!

Boom!!

The entire earth shook violently, and then, centered on Blood瞳's point of impact, streaks of black cracks spread out like spiders, instantly covering a range of thousands of meters. Immediately following was a loud bang, and all the soil and rocks exploded, floating into the sky as if weightless. Amidst the smoke and dust, the location of Blood瞳 and the bandage merchant was deeply recessed, forming a huge crater on the ground as if a meteorite had fallen.

But this only lasted for a short while, and the entire crater turned into a bottomless pit. The earth trembled violently, and streams of magma rushed out from underground. The bandage merchant's punch had directly pierced through the surface and reached the magma layer?

Of course, this was the effect simulated by the virtual world. But how was this different from reality? When did the bandage merchant possess such terrifying strength that even the Comet-class Blood瞳 was beaten without any power to fight back?

But this was no longer something Blood瞳 should be considering. At this moment, he was already in a desperate situation.

The bandage merchant's punch was too ruthless, directly blasting him deep underground. Deep in the unknown depths, Blood瞳 felt as if he had been thrown into a furnace. Not only was the temperature extremely high, but there was also an indescribable enormous pressure squeezing him from all directions. In just a moment, he felt a splitting headache, and the lines of his spirit body were dim and dull!!

So strong!!

No one could describe how painful Blood瞳 was at this moment. Although the Mind Particle Spirit Body was just a projection of his spirit, the pain was similarly reflected on his physical body, causing him to almost faint. At the same time, because of the mental trauma, his resistance plummeted, and the short few seconds felt like an eternity in hell.

In such a painful situation, Blood瞳 even felt his thoughts congeal. Even thinking became a luxury. He just roared and struggled constantly, trying to get out of this predicament.

However, with the bandage merchant's Weight Bombardment that pierced through the surface, how could he break free so quickly?

This unheard-of boxing technique was actually an extremely high-level combat skill. Through the guidance of mind and spirit, all the energy of the body was concentrated and erupted at one point. The instantaneous destructive power was comparable to the simultaneous firing of an interstellar fleet. And the most terrifying thing was that the attack effect of Weight Bombardment was not just once, but gradually increased with the enemy's suffering. Weight Bombardment would destroy the energy model of the surrounding environment, forming a brief energy vacuum, and erupting a second, or even third time by absorbing energy!

In the hands of Meteor-class or higher warriors, the destructive power of Weight Bombardment was enough to destroy half a small planet with one blow!! Creating a collapsing chain reaction!!

Amidst the roar, the entire earth was trembling. Streams of magma rushed out of the surface, as if instantly arriving in hell. The air was filled with the smell of sulfur. Centered on the landing point of the two, the ground within a few thousand meters began to collapse, splitting into pieces of rock layers.

In this doomsday-like scene, the bandage merchant quietly floated above Blood瞳, his whole body seemingly shrouded in an invisible energy shield, repelling all the impact. He calmly looked at the magma layer below and murmured softly.

"No sacrifice, no victory."

"No pain, no sublimation."

"Countless Krodir war souls... wandering in the ancient beyond. You struggle in hell, praying for redemption!"

"There is no hope, because you have lost your glory!"

"There is no future, because you have forgotten your faith!"

"Victims who have been sleeping for countless years... can your roar pierce through time and space? Can your unwillingness destroy the star layers?"

"The past is the past, but the future... will eventually come..."

Extending his hands forward, he slowly clasped them together. A chilling light suddenly flashed in the bandage merchant's eyes. At this moment, where did he still have half the appearance of a merchant? He was clearly a battle-hardened warrior full of fighting spirit! An unprecedentedly powerful aura was released from his body, like a beast that had been sealed for countless years, roaring to the sky. The virtual grid of the sky swayed for a while, and was actually shaken by this sudden burst of aura.

The entire world seemed to be shaken by the bandage merchant's aura.

A strong wind rose, and countless soaring magma columns were swept in, turning into fiery tornadoes connecting the sky and the earth.

Standing in this boiling world, the bandage merchant's expression was calm, just looking at his hands. His hands... were slowly pulling apart. In the palms facing each other, there was a small blood-colored light sphere.

"Only pain can stimulate that ancient sleeping will."

"Only death can awaken that never-yielding soul."

"Don't blame me, it's you who want to open that... forbidden door." In the next moment, the light sphere was thrown down by him, directly hitting Blood瞳 in the magma.

"Ah!!!"

Blood瞳 cried out in pain, feeling as if his whole body had been torn into pieces. All his spirit, all his flesh seemed to be shattered in an instant. The only thing left for him was pain. Seemingly boundless, endless pain. What terrible pain it was, even the always-tenacious Blood瞳 could not control himself. Under this severe pain, even the pain brought by the previous implants could be ignored. Immediately following, his vision went black, and he fell into a sea of blood.

That was a familiar place to him, in countless nightmares in the past. Every time he failed, he would come here.

This is the origin of nightmares, the beginning and end of all pain.

But this time it was different from the past. In the past, the entry was very hazy, but this time it was so real. Blood瞳 could even see every hair and eye of the blood people. They rolled in the sea of blood, each showing ferocious claws and teeth. Seeing Blood瞳 enter, they immediately pounced over, some grabbing his body, some grabbing his hands and feet, tearing Blood瞳 apart little by little. Blood瞳 could clearly see his muscles being peeled off strip by strip, and his bones being torn and bitten.

Pain, fear... wave after wave swept through Blood瞳's heart, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami raging. The pain was so great that Blood瞳 wished he could die immediately to get rid of this hellish nightmare.

But he couldn't do it...

Only at this time did he realize that in the past he entered the sea of blood from a dream, so death could break free. But this time it was not, he was knocked into here by the bandage merchant, everything here was not a dream, it was reality!!

How is this possible??

Blood瞳's eyes widened, looking at the blood people close at hand in fear. These blood people, while tearing at his body, grinned at him ferociously, revealing a mouthful of blood-stained teeth. Their eyes were very fierce, stealing ferocity from the inside out, like hungry ghosts who had been hungry for who knows how many years.

Blood瞳 struggled desperately, waving his fists. But here, his strength, which he was so proud of, seemed to have completely disappeared. He couldn't stop the blood people from tearing at him at all. His ears were filled with the strange sound of them tearing at his flesh, which was so terrifying and desperate.

Speaking of which, maybe Blood瞳 behaved very fearlessly in reality. But it definitely didn't include this sea of blood. Because this sea of blood was a nightmare that had entangled him since he was a child. It was the only place he feared and was afraid of. If everyone had the thing they feared most, then this was the source of Blood瞳's fear.

So here, Blood瞳 couldn't even struggle, let alone resist. He could only watch countless blood people climb towards him, gradually drowning him. He heard the sound of them devouring himself, and felt his hair stand on end.

I... am I going to die?

In extreme fear... Blood瞳 thought this way. Just as he was about to admit defeat as in the past, he suddenly thought that this was not a dream.

In a dream, his death meant liberation, but here, his death meant the end!

No!

I don't want to die! How could I die!?

A strong desire to survive suddenly surged in Blood瞳's mind, and he remembered the days and nights he spent in x35, he desperately fought and struggled for a hope of survival. He finally walked out of the apocalypse and became a cosmic mercenary, how could he die here? How could he be a coward, not even struggle and just wait for death?

That's a disgrace... a warrior's disgrace!

In the sea of blood, Blood瞳's eyes suddenly opened, bursting out with dazzling sharpness. At this moment, even his spirit body's eyes showed blood spots, and instantly condensed into a pair of pupils.

A pair of blood-colored pupils!!

Roar!!

Above the sea of blood that had been boiling for who knows how many years, a roar from ancient times suddenly sounded.
