Early Final Battle

After being shot three times, with one bullet in his palm, the wound on his palm faded to a pink scar in less than two hours, with no abnormal feeling at all.

Li Changan knew that after surviving, he had become much stronger. His reflexes and hearing had improved dramatically, allowing him to try his best to evade the gunman. No bullet had hit a vital spot.

His strength didn't change much and was still about the same as before. His speed had also improved slightly but not significantly. The biggest change was his self-healing ability. Now the wounds could be seen healing with the naked eye.

Maybe I need to die a few more times to get stronger? Once the thought came up, he couldn't stop thinking about it. Li Changan recalled every battle he had fought. He felt like his guess was probably right—the closer he got to death, the greater the growth.

Why not try it once? Such a dangerous idea, yet I just can't stop myself. Let's try it once, just once. If it fails, there won't be a next time. But what if it succeeds?

"What are you thinking about?"

Wen Anran's voice interrupted Li Changan's thoughts. He smiled helplessly, "It's nothing. Charles is about to win. Keep your focus and see if his danger level goes down."

Ninety meters away, Wen Anran was hiding in a metal box, looking at Charles in the distance through the scope of his sniper rifle. His ability was telling him that he was one of the most dangerous people here. With Charles' strength shown so far, there were still three people in this city whose danger levels were comparable to his.

The mighty dragon that once dominated the world had lost all its prestige. After a day and a night, it was at its last gasp. Even spreading its wings looked powerless. As it fell from the sky to the ground, the battle had come to an end.

All that was left was futile struggling.

"Charles! Spare me, I can't die here!" the dragon begged in a human voice. Looking closer, there was a man standing in the dragon's mouth—he was the ability user, hiding in the dragon's belly to ensure his own safety.

Charles did not speak, only threw out lightning, one after another, from his hand as if endless. This monstrous boy seemed tireless. From the start of the fight until now, he had never shown any fatigue.

"No!" The dragon raised its tattered wings to block the attack. "Please spare me. I can serve you as my master. As long as you let me grow, I will definitely be your help."

"I can't die here! Please, I still have vengeance to take. My parents and brothers all died at that man's hands. At worst, I'll surrender and leave. Please spare me, I can't die here!"

Hearing the chaotic pleas, Charles paused briefly before raising his hand again. "What does that have to do with me?"

The silver lightning blossomed, the dragon's painful roar like the accompaniment to fireworks. The fireworks had yet to fade, but the music had already stopped.

The hundred-meter long dragon's body was charred black like coal. In its unclosed mouth was a human corpse, still showing unwillingness and ferocity at the moment of death.

"Everyone has their own story, but what do your stories have to do with me? You and I are just opponents who should decide life and death." Charles spread his hands like a crucifixion, then placed his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly.

"It was an honor to fight you, but that's all."

At this moment, countless eyes focused on Charles, waiting for him to show fatigue and reveal flaws.

Li Changan was hiding in a large fish tank with his whole body underwater, only half his head exposed. He said in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Far away, Wen Anran still held his sniper rifle and said softly, "No good. The sense of danger has not decreased, but has risen instead. His danger level now is increasing steadily, even higher than at the beginning."

Li Changan frowned, climbed out of the fish tank and landed silently, carefully hiding in the cluttered room next door without windows. He dried himself off and changed clothes.

After making sure no one was around, Li Changan replied gloomily, "He most likely has dual abilities, maybe even three. It's been over twenty-four hours since the start of the battle. This can't be explained by talent alone."

"The information says Charles' family was aristocratic before the apocalypse, which didn't affect them much. He awakened his ability at birth and was identified to have extremely strong psychic power, far beyond ordinary ability users."

"But by my calculations, the psychic power he consumed in this day and night of fighting is enough to drag down twenty A-levels. This has nothing to do with talent. He probably has another ability supporting him."

Wen Anran put down his sniper rifle and started changing positions while asking, "Do you already have a guess?"

"Yes," Li Changan instinctively nodded before realizing they were communicating remotely. "There are two possibilities. One is the Restoration ability from the Support series, the other is the Law God ability from the Myth series. I hope it's not the latter."

"Law God from the Myth series!" Hearing these words, Wen Anran's heart raced before he finally calmed down.

The universally acknowledged strongest series was the Combat series. Every ability was extremely suited for fighting, but the Myth series still had the highest ceiling. It's said that among a hundred thousand ability users, not even one would have a Myth ability.

It's called Myth because the abilities in this series are all related to mythological stories. Before the apocalypse, there were no ability users in the world, but various mythological stories were still passed down.

Like Nüwa Mending the Heavens in East Continent, Xihe Bathing the Sun, the Creation in West Continent, the World Serpent in North Continent, all belonged to mythology.

After the apocalypse, abilities started appearing. But some people awakened abilities similar to mythological figures, thus giving birth to the Myth series, said to have unlimited potential.

A certain Gabriel in West Continent was an S-level as soon as he awakened, and was said to already be under the empire's secret protection.

The Law God that Li Changan mentioned was more of a support ability. The user would have near endless psychic power and extremely high resistance to any elemental ability. Only one Law God ability user was known to exist.

Perhaps Charles was the second.

"Someone made a move." Li Changan, who was about to leave, looked back again.

A figure leapt high from the rooftop. Ice and fire wings unfurled behind him. With a raise of his hand, the sky turned into a flaming hell, dark red flames surging towards Charles. And the man was covered in ice armor.

Another dual ability user, and extremely suited for combat!

Li Changan swallowed, having a hunch that despite one third of opponents remaining, the final battle had probably begun!
