Leviathan

This guy...

Ning Yu looked at the somewhat deranged young man, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

She used [Advanced Detection] in the direction of the young man.

Sure enough, she couldn't see the lines of death on him.

[Detected: Leviathan*Eye of Jealousy (Advanced)]

[Location: 11 o'clock direction, approximately 380 meters, vertical height difference less than 1 meter]

[Information: Symbolizes insatiable desires, crimes born from hatred and resentment towards others. Wields a scythe called "Bliss of Love and Hate," other abilities unknown.]

[Weakness: Unable to view weakness.]

Another advanced mutated zombie.

Ning Yu finally confirmed that these advanced mutated zombies all have their own names.

If considered from this angle, were they all humans before the mutation?

Then what exactly, combined with the T-virus, twisted the zombies into this form?

Gluttony, greed, lust, wrath, sloth, envy, pride.

Temperance, selflessness, chastity, patience, diligence, forgiveness, humility.

Virtues and sins perfectly embody the dual nature of humans.

Everyone is a combination of these to varying degrees, like yin and yang, light and shadow, always accompanying each other.

Starting from an innocent, unknowing baby, a person gradually forms their "self."

This "self" manifests as all their virtues and sins, drawing a chart where each person's unique image on the chart represents who they are.

Thus, although there are trillions of people in the world, no one is exactly the same as another.

But,

if all sins are pushed to the extreme and virtues are completely erased...

Ning Yu narrowed her eyes, glancing at the horde of zombies swarming towards her.

And the Leviathan in the form of a young man, calmly watching her.

Perhaps they are an answer, a form of humanity after losing all virtues.

Blood Kite floated around Ning Yu in a hostile state, then slowly tightened into her grasp.

She could indeed feel that Leviathan was strong, but it didn't have the suffocating pressure that Morning Star gave her.

With [Embrace of Fire] fully activated, Ning Yu also stared at the gray-haired Leviathan with her blood-red eyes.

Rather than continuing to escape, it was better to shatter him head-on.

No matter what, she still had the [Serene Moon] mode to escape.

This was a prepared battle, every cell in her body seemed to be burning, driven by intense excitement.

This might be a worthy opponent.

[Ding! Emergency mission triggered: Kill Leviathan*Eye of Jealousy 0/1]

[Mission reward: 200,000 points]

The system's prompt in her mind further confirmed this thought; this guy was worth 200,000 points.

At the same time, this was a long-awaited emergency mission, which also meant a very high level of danger.

"Boom!!"

An explosion suddenly sounded in the distance, with faint flames flickering in the distance.

Ning Yu didn't dare to turn her head, but she was puzzled—had the bomb she set been detonated early?

"You better keep me entertained."

Leviathan placed his scythe to the side, one eye covered by an eyepatch, the other staring at Ning Yu.

She felt as if she was being watched by a venomous snake.

"Whoosh!"

His figure disappeared from Ning Yu's sight.

But Ning Yu suddenly slashed Blood Kite to her side.

"Clang!"

Leviathan's scythe was much larger than Blood Kite, and the clash between them was particularly noticeable.

At the moment of the clash, Ning Yu could feel the sinister black aura emanating from the scythe, trying to flow towards her along the blade.

Feeling something was wrong, she quickly retreated.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Leviathan had no intention of letting Ning Yu escape easily, his scythe continuing to pursue her, and the speed was getting faster.

"Oh, your speed isn't bad."

He actually had the leisure to comment on Ning Yu while fighting.

"Suddenly, I feel a bit reluctant to kill you. How about I lock you up and keep you? I'll treat you well..."

But before he could finish, he noticed that the power of Ning Yu's strikes had suddenly increased.

She had activated the active effect of [Power Conversion], temporarily gaining +10 stamina for 10 minutes.

"I wonder if your blade is as sharp as your tongue."

Ning Yu retorted, deflecting Leviathan's scythe, and with Blood Kite, she unleashed a flurry of blade lights at him, taking advantage of the sudden opportunity.

The situation suddenly reversed; Leviathan, who had been controlling the offensive rhythm, was now at a disadvantage.

Yet, there was no expression on his face, and the eye not covered by the eyepatch was filled with a confident and eerie light.

"Slash!"

Blood Kite once again clashed with Leviathan's scythe, but Ning Yu directly released it, and Blood Kite, under her control, pierced straight into Leviathan's body.

At the same time, two Peacemakers suddenly appeared in her hands from space, pressing against Leviathan's body.

"Slash!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Blood Kite effortlessly pierced Leviathan's chest, and the Peacemakers blasted his head and stomach into pieces.

Ning Yu instinctively prepared to activate [Thousand Moment Slash], not planning to give Leviathan any breathing room—such monsters must be dealt with quickly.

However, strangely, [Thousand Moment Slash] failed to activate, startling Ning Yu.

But he was clearly flesh and blood, not a cybernetically enhanced human—how could he be immune...

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Leviathan's voice suddenly came from behind Ning Yu, sending a chill down her spine.

The shattered "Leviathan" corpse in front of her had turned into a tattered doll, with injuries identical to those Ning Yu had just inflicted.

Damn it!

Without the information provided by [Detection], the enemy's bizarre moves were all unknowns, and now Ning Yu felt she had been overconfident.

"Taste the bliss and ecstasy of love and hate!"

Leviathan grabbed his hair, letting out a maniacal laugh, taking advantage of the moment when Ning Yu had exhausted her moves. His scythe emitted thick black smoke.

He stood behind Ning Yu, raising his scythe high.

Suddenly, countless blood-red eyes opened on the blade of the scythe, densely covering every corner of it.

Anyone with a fear of clusters would feel intense discomfort at the sight.

And now, these eyes all came to life, writhing, glaring, and staring intently at Ning Yu, the prey of their master.

Just as Ning Yu turned to defend, Leviathan's long-planned scythe strike came down on her.
