Life in North America, you call this an autopsy officer?!
Chapter 84 - 76: Since there’s no retreat, fight with the resolve to do or die!

Chapter 84: Chapter 76: Since there’s no retreat, fight with the resolve to do or die!

Bang~

Roaring gunfire exploded.

Almost simultaneously, Billy slightly tilted his head.

The next moment.

The thick door behind Billy was immediately torn apart, leaving a huge dented crater.

Hiss~

Brian took a sharp intake of breath.

This reaction speed is unreal!

He refused to believe it, pulling the trigger three times in a row, emptying the chamber.

The massive recoil numbed Brian’s arms, even with his current physique.

This time, Brian was cunning. Under Supercomputer Perception, his bullets locked onto a large area where Billy might dodge. In such a narrow space, if the opponent dares to move, he’s bound to be hit by a Cross No. 12 bullet that could blow a bear’s head off!

A Cross Bullet that fragments on impact, spinning and splattering shards.

A graze cripples, a hit kills!

As long as the opponent is still a Carbon-based Life,

It’s impossible to withstand!

Faced with this situation, Billy just smiled indifferently.

The moment Brian fired, Billy stood in place, silently taking out a cigarette, then lit it amidst the barrage of shrapnel.

Billy took a deep drag of his cigarette, surrounded by smoke, indifferently watching Brian, who was trying to reload:

"Don’t waste your time, Brian!

I’m surprised that you showed up here ahead of time.

Your performance has even exceeded my previous understanding of you.

But none of that matters!

Your destiny was sealed when you turned eight!

Only when all that is good in your heart is destroyed, the resulting emotions become the best catalyst for the Divine Favored.

This is the dream I’ve spent over a decade weaving for you!

Now it’s time to wake from that beautiful dream!

Brian, my nephew!

You have no choice now!

Become a Divine Favored.

Or you die!

Everyone you care about must die too!"

"Fuck your beautiful dream!"

Brian was completely infuriated by Billy’s condescending attitude, thinking he could control his fate like an ant!

No one can control his destiny!

If the problem can’t be solved,

Then eliminate the one who caused the problem!

Brian roared internally: Fury!

A surge of adrenaline burst forth, spreading throughout his body.

The next moment.

In Billy’s surprised gaze, Brian charged like a cheetah.

"Such speed."

Surprise crossed Billy’s face.

How could Brian’s physique have improved so much?

The seven or eight-meter distance vanished in a blink of an eye!

Just as the two were about to clash in close combat.

Brian violently stuffed the gun barrel into the butcher-style leather apron, concealing the direction of the muzzle. Without aiming, he pulled the trigger repeatedly while his left hand recklessly grabbed the pull wires of the detonators strapped to his waist.

A chilling, inescapable Death Warning surged in Billy’s heart.

Shock flashed in his eyes, but his hands moved quickly, grabbing the special Steel Shield beside him like a Middle Ages shield warrior. With a roar, his body instantly swelled by a third, transforming into a charging warrior, thundering toward Brian.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Three loud, dull thuds echoed in the narrow space.

Dust showered down from above.

Hit!

Brian felt a surge of elation.

At such close range, the bullet impact would have shaken even a sedan, let alone Billy with just a shield!

He didn’t believe Billy’s flesh and blood could withstand that force!

Strike when your enemy is sick, take his life!

As long as Billy was destabilized by the bullet’s impact.

Brian would pull the trigger, sending the last bullet into Billy’s head!

Shockingly!

Billy, hit by three bullets on the shield, had merely slowed down slightly, showing no signs of being pushed back.

In Brian’s unbelieving gaze, the Steel Shield slammed forward ruthlessly.

At this distance, there was no room to dodge!

The next moment.

Thud~

Like a monk striking a bell, a deep resonance sounded.

An unstoppable great force hit Brian’s chest.

Brian just felt a buzz in his ears as if struck by a heavy truck, his body forcibly launched seven or eight meters, the pig head mask on his head flung off, crashing hard onto the ground, spitting blood profusely, his body limp.

The twisted, broken shotgun flew off to the side.

The steel barrel was slightly bent.

It made one wonder if it hadn’t been for the barrel taking some of the impact, Brian might have been crushed to death by the terrible force of the shield.

One shield blow sent Brian flying.

Billy cracked his neck, the friction of his bones making a loud crack: "The struggle of an ant is so boring."

Warily eyeing the detonators on Brian’s waist, not approaching, he put down the shield, now with two dented bullet pits, and took out a metallic-looking syringe from his belt, tossing it in front of Brian seven or eight meters away: "Brian, I’ll give you another chance. Inject this vial of Divine Awakening Class I into your heart. If you survive and become Divine Favored, you’ll still be my good nephew, we..."

Before he could finish.

Boom~

The massive explosion reverberated, echoing through the cave.

Billy only realized as he was thrown into the air that the sense of imminent danger he had been feeling wasn’t from Brian detonating the charge on his belt, which could have caused the cave to collapse, but from the charge Brian had sneakily tossed beside him the moment he fired his gun!

This kid really has changed!

...

"Ha ha, cough cough, ha ha!"

Brian laughed while coughing up blood.

Damn it!

You really thought I wasn’t aware you have an ability like a danger warning!

The previous shots were just probes and traps.

Brian’s real killing move was the undercover high-explosive charge while pretending to repair the road!

Billy could sense the danger of each bullet in advance.

What about a bundle of charges?

That was Brian’s tactic!

And it meant he won!

At such a close distance, an ordinary person would have been torn to shreds by the explosion or had their organs shattered and their brains scrambled, dead as dead gets!

Mutants are still human.

And humans can die!

Brian didn’t believe Billy was strong enough to withstand the blast with his flesh and blood!

...

The explosion was so loud.

Brian was worried more guards would come rushing over, so he didn’t hesitate to use up the last unit of Gift Energy to heal his internal injuries!

Thank goodness for the solidly built shotgun.

Otherwise, the crushing force of the shield strike just now would undoubtedly have broken a whole row of his ribs.

At that point, it wouldn’t have been a matter of one or two units of Gift Energy to fix the problem!

Feeling the sharp pain subside and his chest clear up, Brian dared to get up from the ground.

He wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth: "Damn, I wasn’t feeling right yesterday, charging in with just two units of Gift Energy like a teenager with a hero syndrome, completely out of character for me."

Brian couldn’t help but think of Susan’s constant talk of mutants losing control.

He hadn’t felt it before.

Not until the life-and-death crisis that just passed did Brian realize his state was somewhat abnormal.

Losing control of your emotions isn’t scary.

What’s scary is not realizing you’re out of control when you are.

That can make it easy for you to do something foolish and put yourself in danger!

"Billy has survived for so long, he seems pretty normal usually, he must have a way to handle it. Even if he doesn’t, by the time thirty years have gone by, I’ll be over fifty — good enough, why live any longer..."

Brian comforted himself.

He forcefully suppressed his wandering thoughts, picked up his pig-head mask, and put it on, preparing to check if Billy was dead or not.

He turned around.

Brian was stunned.

He saw a towering figure slowly emerging from the dissipating dust and smoke, standing tall amidst the rubble and reappearing at the entrance of the cave.

...

Billy was in a bad state.

His right hand was torn off, bone shards and strips of flesh hanging out, the clothes on his chest turned into rags by the blast, exposing a big chunk of mutilated flesh and skin on his upper body, through which the movement of internal organs could be indistinctly seen in his abdominal cavity.

Apart from that.

One of Billy’s eyes was forever closed.

Long trails of blood slid down his dust-covered face, adding an iron-clad touch to Billy’s already formidable demeanor.

"Fuck!"

"He’s not dead???"

Brian licked his lips tasting of iron as he drew out another charge.

The crippled state of Billy’s body didn’t ease Brian’s tension; in fact, it only made the pressure even greater than before.

Brian felt he wasn’t facing a man but a monster that was impossible to defeat!

It was as if he was back to the night when the Blood Moon arose, and he was under the bloodthirsty gaze of Billy.

When Billy’s remaining eye turned his way, Brian felt the air around him solidify!

"Cough cough~"

Billy coughed a few times and spat a black sputum mixed with organ fragments on the ground.

He looked at Brian hidden beneath the mask and grinned:

"Brian, your tense muscles give away your nervousness.

You’re like a scared wild dog right now, baring your teeth and trying to look fierce when in reality, you’re just terrified.

You’re afraid!

That won’t do.

This is a dark jungle world where only the strong survive!

Without a strong will!

Even if you become a Divine Favored, you’ll always be nothing but a terrified rabbit.

Come!"

Billy pointed at himself, "Come here! Kill me! I’ve already sent all the guards to secure the evacuation route. Only by killing me can you leave with those pieces of trash safely! You have no choice!"

His eyes burned with fervor as he looked at Brian.

This nephew had given him a big surprise today.

Ever since he knew about Brian’s failed Awakening, and his mental anchor had started to crack, he was on the verge of losing control.

The Kamor family could not fade away like this!

If possible.

Billy didn’t mind using his own blood as the sacrifice for Brian’s Awakening!

...

Looking at the robust figure standing like a wall in front of him, and within the depths of his heart, Brian took a deep breath and put the charge back at his waist.

"As you wish!"

Seeing no way out.

It was a fight to the death!

Today, he would personally shatter the great mountain that was Billy, looming over his
