Chapter 81: Chapter 79 The True Talent

"Why the hell are you yelling?"

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but cover his ears, somewhat annoyed.

Clearly they weren’t far apart, yet Dick called out his name so loudly—was there something wrong with his brain?

Sheraya, on the other hand, knew the reason but didn’t care.

Even if Dick discovered they were Sekiro, it didn’t matter; after all, they still had two days and two nights, and now there were only four people left in the village.

In other words, no matter how you looked at it, the Sekiro had already won.

Dick finally realized that all his efforts up until now were nothing but a ludicrous clown show, and moreover, he had lost, so going mad was only natural.

"Is that so? So, you two are the Sekiro, huh."

Compared to Dick, Yuzuki Hibiki’s reaction was unexpectedly calm and composed.

Then, Yuzuki Hibiki took a step that took everyone by surprise.

He knelt down before Xiao Yi and pleaded, "Tonight, could you not kill us? I want to live until tomorrow and personally cast the vote that will lead to Dick’s death!"

Yuzuki Hibiki wasn’t using his Talent; this was his genuine plea.

"What did you say...?" Both Sheraya and Xiao Yi were taken aback.

"Yuzuki Hibiki!" Dick, too, could no longer concern himself with anything else; he hurried over, grabbed Yuzuki Hibiki by the collar, and roared, "What do you mean by that!?"

"Don’t yell at me like that," Yuzuki Hibiki coldly said. "I’m a person, too. What gives you the right to look down on me and order me around? If you want to live another day, show me the respect I deserve! Then kneel before me! Apologize to me!"

Yuzuki Hibiki’s voice grew increasingly hysterical. He had always sincerely followed Dick’s orders for the sake of the so-called contract, hoping that Lighthouse Country, which Dick represented, would treat him and his own country better afterward.

But when Dick ordered him to die, Yuzuki Hibiki understood that groveling and submission were useless.

If Yuzuki Hibiki truly died, his homeland would face a great crisis.

However, Yuzuki Hibiki also knew that this was just an excuse; his real desire was to have Dick, who looked down on him and trampled him, kneel before him and apologize.

This defiance was a natural trait of the Japanese people.

For this, Yuzuki Hibiki was willing to do anything! He knew it was a mad thought, but he didn’t care.

"Hahaha..." Dick laughed once again.

Trusting two Sekiro and suspecting Yuzuki Hibiki, who was also human, led to Yuzuki Hibiki’s desire to drag him down even in death—was there anyone more ridiculous than himself in this world?

Even if he could return, he would likely have to endure everyone’s scorn, living on as the butt of jokes.

That was something Dick absolutely couldn’t accept, but he also absolutely didn’t want to die!

So, Dick decided to become the embodiment of fear itself so that no one would dare disrespect him!

At this moment, there was nothing left to worry about! He had to survive! He had to become the synonym for fear! For that, no matter how many people had to be sacrificed, it was acceptable!

Therefore, Dick decided not to hide his real Talent any longer!

Dick still didn’t take Yuzuki Hibiki seriously; he turned his gaze to Xiao Yi and Sheraya, once again revealing a smile on his face.

"Xiao Yi, Sheraya, you don’t think you’ve won already, do you? Don’t forget! The premise of being killed by a Sekiro is that the Sekiro have the strength to actually kill someone! Do you two have enough strength to defeat me?"

"What did you say?" Sheraya seemed to have noticed something, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Isn’t your Talent to resurrect by sacrificing others? Could it be! Your Talent isn’t just that, is it!?"

"That’s right." Dick couldn’t help revealing the expression of a victor, "The Country has no means to detect our Talents, they can only learn about them through observation and inquiry, so! Hiding one’s own Talent is only natural, right?"

"Hiding one’s own Talent?" Sheraya frowned, no wonder Dick still had such confidence.

The Talent he had revealed was already at S-rank, which meant that the true Talent he was hiding possessed power beyond that!

"There’s no point in hiding anymore! Right now, I’ll tell you and everyone in the whole world, what my real Talent is!"

Dick laughed crazily as he announced his true Talent!

"My Talent is an SS-level Talent—[Survival of the Fittest]! Talent Effect One is to randomly sacrifice the lives of a thousand citizens from Lighthouse Country to resurrect!"

Upon hearing Dick’s words, everybody, including everyone in the livestream, now knew the true nature of Dick’s seemingly infinite resurrection Talent!

Everyone was stunned, but not Yuzuki Hibiki.

He only knew that Dick still didn’t take him seriously.

"Dick! Look at me!"

Yuzuki Hibiki charged towards Dick, and at that moment, Dick also revealed the second ability of his Talent!

"Talent Effect Two is to sacrifice the citizens of Lighthouse Country to enhance myself! The effects of the enhancement correlate with the number of people! Here and now, I sacrifice the lives of ten million citizens of Lighthouse Country!"

Just as Yuzuki Hibiki got close to Dick, he was swallowed by a sea of flesh.

"...!" Sheraya gasped in shock, hastily pulling Xiao Yi away from Dick.

"What’s going on?" Xiao Yi stared at the meat mountain that was still growing, completely dumbfounded.

Afterward, countless chunks of flesh were destroyed, torn, or sliced, floating into the sky to form a cloud made of flesh, covering the entire mountain’s sky!

The pieces of flesh took on various shapes and sizes, some were fresh red muscle, others were yellow and white chunks with fat. They drifted slowly in the sky.

Through the gaps between the chunks of flesh, one could see fragments of human bodies, like arms, legs, or pieces of faces, creating an intense feeling of nausea!

Xiao Yi looked at the cloud of flesh, his eyebrows tightly knotted.

For a Professor in Lighthouse Country, it was not surprising to modify themselves with such special abilities, but...

"The lives of ten million citizens?" Xiao Yi addressed the cloud of flesh, "You, you actually sacrificed so many lives?"

Dick’s voice came out from the cloud of flesh.

"So what? In this world where Analog Horror has descended, only the strong can survive! Those citizens should hate themselves for not having the ability to become elite, for just being ordinary people!"

"That’s a typical social Darwinist statement." Sheraya also couldn’t help but clench her fists, "No wonder you kept talking about eliminating the useless, it’s your true nature!"

"Are you serious?" Xiao Yi asked again, "Human life is not just a number."

"It’s just the lives of the useless! Those with the ability should naturally be more free! They shouldn’t be limited by those ordinary people! Lighthouse Country thrives because it is driven by the elite! And even the incapable can make such a contribution! Those useless people should feel honored!"

Dick’s voice was full of conviction. Madness peeled away his polished façade; these were his genuinely held beliefs.

Hearing Dick’s true thoughts, Xiao Yi sighed, "To be so afraid of death yourself, yet so readily sacrifice the lives of others... you... are truly beyond redemption."
