260: Chapter 260 Your system is very powerful, but now it is used by me.
"What?!"
Lin Tianhe was struck by lightning! His mind went blank instantly!
System?!
Lin Mo also has a System?!
How is this possible?!
"No... impossible! You're lying to me!!!" he shrieked!
After a while.
Lin Tianhe's screams abruptly stopped.
He was like a puppet with its spine removed, slumping in the blood pool, letting the dark red spear piercing his chest draw out his pain. The terror of his Infinite Blood Qi System being devoured completely crushed his last shred of pride.
He looked at Lin Mo, dressed in Cosmic Overlord attire under the blood moon, like a supreme ruler, and the alluringly dangerous Queen Sumeru beside him.
He resigned himself to his fate.
He truly resigned himself.
That last bit of cunning, hoping to use his infinite life to stage a comeback, was completely extinguished.
"Then..." His voice was dry and hoarse, with a final plea, "You... you also have a System, and you are the undisputed king here..."
"Can you... let me go?"
"I am willing to be your most loyal dog! To be at your beck and call! I can live in anonymity, or serve you diligently! I have infinite life, I can be your eternal servant! I can handle all the things you don't want to dirty your hands with!"
This was the only humble way out he could think of, having completely abandoned his dignity.
Lin Mo looked down at him, slowly extended a finger, and gently shook it.
"No, no no no no no..." His voice carried a hint of playful mockery.
Lin Tianhe's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
"I can't let you go."
Lin Mo's lips curved into a smile, his eyes sparkling with a light as if he had discovered a rare treasure.
"You are my..."
"Treasure."
"And..."
"You are the most precious kind."
Lin Tianhe was utterly bewildered: "Tre... treasure? What treasure?"
"Of course, it's..." Lin Mo smiled slightly, "Brain Quantum."
A faint sense of energy from the cold system prompt when he killed Earl William flashed through Lin Tianhe's mind.
"Brain Quantum...?" He recalled with difficulty, "That... thing obtained after killing? I got... a few hundred points back then... but what's the use of that?"
"What's the use?" Lin Mo's smile deepened, as if explaining to a bewildered child, "Every time you kill a creature, you will gain more or less Brain Quantum. This thing..."
He pointed to the magnificent Cosmic Overlord equipment on his body.
"Is universal fuel."
"To strengthen your own attributes..."
"Or..." His tone intensified, "to summon back the imprint of power you once possessed, the essence of your soul, from the depths of the Quantum Sea!"
Lin Tianhe looked at the extremely familiar equipment, horrified: "You... you mean... this equipment..."
"It's not an illusion." Lin Mo interrupted him, his fingertip gently brushing over the flowing star gems on his robe, which glowed in response, "It's real. It's a true projection forcibly pulled back from my former high-level Multiverse Battlefield 'Cosmic Overlord' status, using your Brain Quantum combined with the coordinates of the Quantum Sea! Like a part of your System, it has descended into this world!"
"Impossible!!!" Lin Tianhe instinctively retorted, his logical instincts flaring, "Even if you can obtain Brain Quantum! Even if killing me yields a lot! How could that amount possibly support summoning a projection of this level?! The energy required to extract the equipment imprint of a Cosmic Overlord would probably not be enough even if everyone in the world were killed!"
"You're right." Lin Mo actually nodded, his smile growing even brighter, "Ordinary people, or rather, ordinary methods of killing, indeed won't work. Even if Earth were emptied, it might only summon a phantom. But..."
He leaned down, close to the despairing Lin Tianhe in the blood pool, like a devil whispering in his ear:
"You're different."
"You... can die and be reborn."
"Kill you once, refresh once."
"Kill you ten million times, and you can refresh ten million times."
"Every second, you are continuously providing me with... the top-tier, unique 'living point-farming cage' experience card!"
"Such an efficient, sustainable, self-healing resource point..."
"Do you think I still lack that bit of Brain Quantum?"
Boom—!!!
Lin Tianhe's mind went completely blank!
All his calculations, struggles, and pleas, at this moment, turned into extreme absurdity and chilling despair!
He... had become a point-farming cage!
He had become Lin Mo's infinitely regenerating... experience baby, to be taken as he pleased?!
Every time he was killed before, every time he revived, every time he stubbornly believed he could wear down his opponent... it all became a cyclical power source for the other party to harvest wealth!
A huge wave of indignation and humiliation instantly drowned him!
"You... you... Pfft!" He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, splashing ripples in the blood pool, his body trembling violently.
"Don't cry," Lin Mo straightened up, his tone carrying a lighthearted cruelty, "See, you can't die anyway."
Lin Tianhe listened to this taunt, which was more hurtful than any insult, and was on the verge of collapse: "Then... then can you... at least... not let me experience this pain... it's... too painful..."
Lin Mo blinked, seemingly thinking for a moment.
"Oh? You find it painful?"
He smiled, apparently finding the request amusing.
"I can grant you this small request."
He lightly snapped his fingers.
"Just got a lot of energy, so I'll give you a... more efficient recycling method."
As the snap of his fingers fell.
Space slightly warped.
A figure abruptly appeared beside Lin Mo.
It was a devilishly-figured, tutu-wearing, angelic-looking figure, but she had a pair of curved black horns on her head, purely black vertical pupils for eyes, and a terrifyingly innocent, seemingly insatiable hunger at the corners of her mouth!
It was—Daughter of Taotie!
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her voice soft and muddled:
"Master... where is this? So much red water..."
She seemed completely unfazed by being in a blood pool hell, only focusing on the strange color.
Lin Mo pointed to Lin Tianhe in the blood pool and said to Daughter of Taotie:
"Don't worry about where this is. I'll give you a meal, do you want to eat?"
Upon hearing the word "eat"!
Daughter of Taotie's purely black vertical pupils instantly erupted with terrifying light! All her muddledness vanished!
"Eat eat eat eat!!!" She jumped up and down excitedly, saliva flowing like a waterfall from the corners of her mouth, her eyes fixed on Lin Tianhe with an indescribable greed! "Master is the best! You give me good food! Of course I'll eat!"
Lin Mo's smile was gentle, but his words were incredibly cold:
"Alright. But remember..."
"Don't chew slowly."
"Swallow it whole."
"Got it! Efficiency first!" Daughter of Taotie cheered, impatient!
The next second!
Her back suddenly split open!
A terrifying, black hole-like giant maw, large enough to swallow mountains, filled with layers of rotating sharp teeth and wriggling flesh, appeared out of thin air!
The giant maw opened!
An irresistible, terrifying suction force that pulled everything into nothingness suddenly erupted!
Buzz—!!!
Lin Tianhe had no time to react! He only felt the blood pool churn, and he, along with the spear on his body, was like a speck of dust falling into a whirlpool!
Instantly!
He was swallowed whole by that bottomless, terrifying giant maw... in one gulp!
He didn't even let out a scream!
The giant maw closed, and a faint... muffled thud of something being forcibly crushed was heard.
Daughter of Taotie smacked her lips, her body returned to normal, and she patted her little belly contentedly, as if she had only eaten a candy bean.
"Burp~ Master, I'm done eating! Full!"
Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction, casually waving his hand.
With his movement, Queen Sumeru smiled slightly, bowing gracefully.
Buzz... The blood moon, the blood pool, the giant bell... rapidly faded and dispersed like phantoms.
Broken sunlight once again covered the ruins of the Rocky Mountains.
Lin Mo quietly sensed deep within his consciousness.
On the panel, the number representing Brain Quantum was ticking up at a terrifying and constant rate, astronomical numbers flashing every second!
The residual power of Lin Tianhe's "Infinite Blood Qi" System's core rules, combined with Daughter of Taotie's "efficient recycling mechanism," maximized the function of this "living point-farming cage."
Every second brought massive returns.
He let out a long sigh, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
He scanned the five Ghost Servants standing respectfully before him.
His gaze swept over this land that had witnessed too much death and endings.
"Let's go."
His voice was calm and distant, carrying a sense of relief after everything had settled.
"Everyone..."
"It's time to go home."
All the karmic entanglements, ambitious schemes... finally... concluded.
