“How did you know my location?”
Ning Yu felt a wave of confusion, her mind flooded with countless questions.
How had she appeared here? Why had she suddenly gained these abilities?
“There’s no time for that now, Xiao Yu.”
Shen Yiyue pulled out the familiar sniper rifle from the weapon case on her back.
In the distance, the Leviathan clones, which had been momentarily halted, began to move again. It seemed that the enchanted bullets could only stop them for a short time.
Ning Yu stared at Shen Yiyue’s confident profile, feeling a strange sense of unfamiliarity. This was a far cry from the playful and teasing Shen Yiyue she had known just a few days ago.
Though she still wore an optimistic expression, Ning Yu couldn’t shake the feeling that Shen Yiyue was carrying something heavy on her shoulders.
The way she handled the gun with such ease, the precision of her earlier shots—it all seemed to have improved significantly.
But there was no time to dwell on it. They had to deal with the threat in front of them first.
The two exchanged a glance, and in that moment, they understood each other perfectly.
For some reason, Ning Yu felt as though they had fought side by side for a long, long time—a sense of tacit understanding and trust that brought her comfort.
Ning Yu stepped forward, activating 【Mist Walk】, and disappeared into the seams of the world.
Shen Yiyue fired a grappling hook behind her, pulling herself backward to create distance from the Leviathan clones.
“Bang!!!”
“Bang!!!”
While moving through the air, Shen Yiyue had already set up her sniper rifle and began firing.
The muzzle spat out flames, and the bullets, adorned with purple patterns, flew toward the nearest Leviathan clones.
Ning Yu appeared in front of the closest Leviathan clone, which had been immobilized by Shen Yiyue’s enchanted bullets, its movements frozen in mid-air.
Emerging from the mist, Ning Yu swiftly dispatched the clone with a few strikes, feeling as though the Blood Kite in her hand had become even faster.
Wait.
Ning Yu realized that her entire body seemed to be moving faster, as if she were in a state of acceleration, though time itself hadn’t sped up.
It was more accurate to say that her sensory world, which had previously felt like 60 frames per second, had suddenly become over 100 frames—everything was now incredibly smooth.
She noticed a new status bar on her system panel.
【Accelerated Thinking: 04:42】
A countdown timer was ticking down.
Ning Yu turned back and saw Shen Yiyue flash her a thumbs-up, her eyes seemingly saying, “See how awesome I am?”
It was definitely Shen Yiyue’s doing. She must have added this buff while healing her earlier wounds.
Just how many secrets was she still hiding?
The clones that had tried to ambush Ning Yu from behind were accurately struck by Shen Yiyue’s bullets.
While the physical damage didn’t seem to affect the Leviathan much, the time-stop effect of the bullets made things much easier for Ning Yu.
Even though the Leviathan had now figured out the flaw in 【Mist Walk】 triggering 【Lunar Moment】, it still couldn’t pose a threat to Ning Yu.
Especially now that she had the 【Accelerated Thinking】 buff.
The Leviathan’s expression shifted among its many clones, and it was clear that his mood had darkened.
This awakened girl who had appeared out of nowhere had such bizarre abilities.
Not only had she healed the flames of sin that couldn’t be removed from Ning Yu’s body, but she had even reversed the T-virus infection.
It was obvious that this girl could manipulate time. The bullets she fired could even freeze his clones in time for an instant.
His demonic eye burned with rage.
While focusing on Ning Yu, a large number of clones began to close in on Shen Yiyue, aiming to take her out as well.
“Yiyue, be careful!”
Ning Yu sensed the Leviathan’s intent and stepped into the mist, preparing to turn back and assist.
Faced with the sudden onslaught of Leviathan clones, Shen Yiyue quickly retreated. With the aid of 【Future Reading】, she barely managed to dodge their attacks.
“Boom!”
Just as she was struggling, her figure suddenly vanished from the spot, and several grenades bounced out from where she had been.
The grenades exploded, disorienting the clones that had surrounded her, and Ning Yu swiftly finished them off with her blade.
Shen Yiyue reappeared at the spot where the two had initially met.
However, using this ability didn’t seem easy. Ning Yu noticed that Shen Yiyue was breathing heavily, her face slightly pale.
This ability, which strongly influenced the rules of reality, seemed to take a heavy toll on her body.
It was different from stopping the time of an object—it was as if she had forcibly rewound her own timeline.
Yet another ability Ning Yu hadn’t seen before.
“Got you.”
Shen Yiyue suddenly felt a chill behind her. A broken doll at her feet suddenly expanded, transforming into the Leviathan’s true form.
He had actually moved his real body next to Shen Yiyue!
Ning Yu immediately noticed, but then she caught Shen Yiyue’s expression—it was as if she had anticipated this all along.
That confident, victorious look inexplicably calmed Ning Yu’s racing heart.
Just as the Leviathan’s scythe was about to pierce Shen Yiyue’s body, she dodged it with a swift movement.
Instead of retreating, she grabbed the Leviathan’s scythe and his arm, a slight smile playing on her lips.
“Yes, I’ve finally caught you.”
The Leviathan’s expression changed instantly. He tried to use his clones to escape, but he found that nothing responded.
“Impossible! How could I fall to...”
Before he could finish his sentence, his entire body froze in mid-air, just like the clones that had been hit by Shen Yiyue’s special bullets—trapped in time.
In the same instant, all the Leviathan clones froze in place.
These clones, controlled by his mind, had ceased to move. This meant that even the Leviathan’s thoughts had been frozen by Shen Yiyue in that moment.
“Now, Xiao Yu!”
Shen Yiyue called out to Ning Yu with a determined tone, though her face was pale to the extreme. Freezing the Leviathan’s time seemed to be taking a heavy toll on her.
She was gritting her teeth, holding on.
Ning Yu had already moved before Shen Yiyue called out. The moment her name was spoken, Ning Yu emerged from the mist.
In her blood-red eyes, the sharp edge of the Blood Kite was reflected, along with the blood butterflies fluttering around her.
“Ssshh!”
The Blood Kite pierced through the Leviathan’s body, followed by countless blade lights that spread across his form like intricate threads.
The blood butterflies circled Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue, dancing and swirling.
【Thousand Moment Slash】 was activated.
The Leviathan’s body turned to ash, disintegrating into black dust under the countless, intense slashes, slowly drifting away.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
