146: Chapter 146 Road Redemption: A Duet of Violence and Tenderness

On the infinite uphill of the dark red Doomsday Highway, the crumbling dark clouds continued to expand at a speed of 100km/h, and the magma-cracked fissures wove deadly patterns on the road surface.

Meanwhile, the two teams, [Road Overlord] and [Fairytale Town], were [Redemption]-ing Souls on this Doomsday Highway with completely different styles.

Golden Soul light spots rose continuously from the zombies, weaving a warm golden light net under the dark red sky.

[Road Overlord] Team: Violent Redemption in a Torrent of Steel

The engine roars of the five motorcycles shook the wilderness.

The [Road Overlord] team tore through the zombie horde in a wedge formation.

The sound of metal colliding and zombie roars intertwined, staging the most direct Redemption Law.

Captain Walker drove the [hurricane motorcycle] at the very front, his B-rank Talent [Storm Vortex] fully activated.

The spiral air cannon at the front of the bike rotated at high speed, compressing the air into a tangible, violent airflow.

"Boom!"

A spiral air cannon shot out, instantly swirling over a dozen zombies into mid-air, their limbs torn into fragments in the airflow.

As soon as the white Soul light spots condensed, they were dyed into golden light spots by the "directly consume dream coins to [Redemption] Souls" setting he had pre-configured.

"Focusing only on killing zombies, this is the style of our [Road Overlord]!"

Walker's rough voice rang out through the communicator.

His fingertips swiped across the motorcycle control panel, and the spiral compressed air cannons fired continuously at the zombies, causing a large area of white light spots to appear in mid-air, instantly dyed with golden light, like guided stars shooting straight into the sky.

Phil's [scorching motorcycle] followed closely behind.

The [giant molten gatling] beside the seat spewed raging flames, and his B-rank Talent [Rapid Heating] pushed the temperature of the molten bullets to the extreme.

Burning projectiles poured out, and the zombies' rotten bodies sizzled as they were roasted, instantly carbonizing and disintegrating.

He glanced at the kill count on the panel and grinned: "Firepower at full throttle!"

As his voice fell, twenty-one golden lights rose from the carbonized remains, merging into a light belt with the Souls Walker had redeemed.

Flora's [mech-flower motorcycle] provided cover on the flank.

The metal vines spawned by her B-rank Talent [Mechanical Plant] were like flexible tentacles, continuously throwing metal flower buds into the distance.

The flower buds bloomed in the zombie horde, and the sharp metal petals swept through like a storm, cutting the zombies into pieces.

"Robert, I need more gears so the metal vines can grow metal flower buds!"

She shouted into the communicator.

Robert's [gear motorcycle] immediately tossed over a bag of parts.

The blue light of the [portable crafting module] purchased at the supply station flickered, and the parts instantly reorganized into new gear bullets, which were loaded into the launcher, while the old gears recycled from abandoned vehicles on the roadside were re-smelted to form an efficient closed-loop supply.

Si'en's [giant sound motorcycle] activated the [360° global loudspeaker] upgraded by the supply station.

His B-rank Talent [Frequency Resonance] precisely locked onto the bones of the zombies within 20 meters.

Under the sonic oscillation, the zombies' bones cracked one after another, and their bodies went limp and collapsed to the ground.

As soon as the white Soul light spots drifted out, they were dyed golden by the synchronously triggered Redemption mechanism, requiring no extra operation—efficient and violent.

The blue taillights of the five motorcycles intertwined on the highway.

Wherever the torrent of steel passed, the zombies all fell, and golden light spots continued to rise like a meteor shower, showcasing [Road Overlord]'s unique violent [Redemption] method.

[Fairytale Town]: Gentle Redemption Under Starlight

The Seven-Colored Cloud tent glided close to the ground.

The five girls of [Fairytale Town], dressed in battle suits specially made by Sugar, performed a poem of gentle Redemption using starlight as magic.

Captain Sugar wore a pale yellow waisted long dress, holding the dim [wishing star lamp], her A-rank Talent [Dream-Origin Star] already overdrawn by more than half.

"Little star lamp, hold on a little longer."

She whispered softly, her fingertips brushing across the lamp body, and the last wisp of starlight overflowed, drifting toward her sisters.

"I wish for everyone to be able to [Redemption] these Souls easily."

The moment the starlight fell, the Talents of Gummy, Popping Candy, and the others were instantly strengthened, but Sugar's legs went weak, and she leaned against the inner wall of the tent, her face as pale as paper.

Gummy, wearing a pale pink tracksuit, rode the [Unicorn] and rushed out of the cloud tent.

Pale pink [Soothing Fluctuations] spread with the starlight ripples of the horse's hoofprints.

The affected zombies gradually slowed down and finally collapsed softly.

The white Soul light spots, like awakened fireflies, automatically dyed themselves golden and rose leisurely into the sky.

"Gummy, watch out! There's a mutant on the left!"

Popping Candy stood on top of the tent, her orange jumpsuit covered in Sugar dust, holding the shrunken [candy jar] in one hand, tossing handfuls of candy at the target.

The candies exploded upon landing, and the stardust wrapped around the candy coating enveloped the mutant, rendering it unable to move.

Golden light spots drifted out from the gaps in the candy coating, merging with the Souls redeemed by Gummy.

Marshmallow controlled the four cloud cannons built by the [Seven-Colored Cloud] to fire alternately.

The starlight clouds expanded into swamps as soon as they landed on the zombies, gently wrapping them up.

She looked back at Sugar inside the tent and shouted to Chocolate: "Quick, replenish Sugar's energy!"

Chocolate immediately aimed the [Crystal Heart] at Sugar, and the crystal light beam condensed by the [True Love Covenant] Talent fell, dispelling some of her fatigue.

At the same time, the crystal light beam swept toward the distant zombie horde.

The irradiated zombies melted in the crystal starlight, and the golden Souls rose with the rotating starlight, like a small meteor shower.

Countless [Redemption]-ed Souls drifted slowly toward the sky in the gentleness dotted by [Fairytale Town] with starlight.

Even without wearing lazy pajamas, every girl in [Fairytale Town] still treated all enemies with gentleness.

The Redemption actions of the two teams ran in parallel on the highway.

The violence of [Road Overlord] and the gentleness of [Fairytale Town] formed a sharp contrast.

Golden Soul light spots gathered continuously, like rivers of light flowing upward.

On the dark red highway, violence and starlight intertwined, and the golden river of light continued to extend, foreshadowing a more magnificent Redemption storm about to descend with a bang amidst the quiet buildup of the [dream chaser].
