Ren Zhong was well familiar with this state of his.
As an Armored Soldier, he had used drugs, a clear sign of Ruins Beastification.
This drug must have side effects.
Ren Zhong felt a sense of emotion.
Compared to the first time he faced the Cold-blooded Butcher, aside from the Brain Reaction Index, his other personal parameters hadn’t improved much.
But now the one fighting with desperation induced by drugs had become the opponent.
"Since you are stubborn; don’t blame me."
The Butcher laughed madly, jumped powerfully, soaring skyward, descending like a dark cloud.
Ren Zhong met him head-on again.
The Butcher finally dared to engage Ren Zhong head-on.
He swung his fists, bombarding Ren Zhong’s Ice Flame Giant Blade with wild fury.
Ren Zhong advanced at times, retreated at others, as the long knife in his hand cleaved down like a chopping knife, hacking vehemently one strike after another.
The confrontation between the two was extremely fierce.
The entire venue was silent; no one dared to breathe audibly.
Even the host responsible for commentary, Xiao Xingyue, was no longer so dedicated, not speaking a word for a long time.
After a long while, when Ren Zhong finally pulled away again, retracting the severely damaged Ice Flame Giant Blade, then drew out the restored Corrosive Blade, Xiao Xingyue finally commented: "Now, the only thing that can restrain Ren Zhong is his physical stamina."
"But it’s clear he hasn’t reached his limit yet. The Butcher’s medium engines in his armor are completely destroyed; his mobility has plummeted. If he doesn’t surrender, only death awaits him."
This time, Xiao Xingyue’s judgment was correct.
Just a few minutes later, Ren Zhong finally seized a power gap in the Butcher’s body, detonating the Air Burst Bomb, blasting him into the air.
The Butcher, without his medium engines, lost the capability to change direction mid-air.
Ren Zhong pursued downward fiercely, the Corrosive Blade swinging wildly, striking multiple times in a second.
Finally, after hacking repeatedly at the same spot, the energy shield within the Butcher was breached, his body was sliced in half!
Death!
Ren Zhong won, triumphantly and vigorously.
Just like when he first met the Butcher, relying on an overdose of Stimulants and Super Armor Frenzy Potion to win.
But this time, he didn’t use any drugs, yet held the upper hand throughout, not giving the opponent even the slightest chance to catch his breath.
He also gave the opponent the choice to surrender and live.
The opponent chose to risk everything with drugs but still suffered a crushing defeat.
He won openly and honorably, indisputably.
...
After speaking lines with Xiao Xingyue, Ren Zhong still hovered quietly in the air, watching the crowd rushing toward him.
He laughed.
The same time, the same people, a different outcome.
I made it.
In the next second, Zheng Tian, Chen Hanyu, Ju Qingmeng, Yujin, Wen Lei, Bai Feng, Ou Youning, and others stood before him, faces flushed.
Ren Zhong slowly landed, saying with a smile, "See. Just a motley crew. I said I’d only give him two choices, surrender or die. He chose death."
Ren Zhong looked toward the Ma Family father and daughter in the distance again.
He didn’t speak, but Ma Dafu understood his gaze.
Ren Zhong was saying, "What I promise to do, I will always fulfill."
Ren Zhong looked again in the direction of Starfire Resources.
In the previous timeline, he did not die in Starfire Town.
This time he still did not die.
So he couldn’t see the "giant fountain" composed of countless white filaments like Earth’s magnetic field lines in the Underworld God’s Eye View after death.
That "fountain" came from the Demon Infant Crystal Core.
This time, the memories of the people within the crystal core would be copied into the brain of the cancer baby.
What changes would that "fountain" bring?
This was a mystery Ren Zhong could not yet know, only waiting for the baby to give him and Sun Miao the answer.
