Chapter 305: Chapter 281: Spacetime

Like a skipping stone, Gouchen tumbled and flew out, bouncing several times on the ground before crashing headfirst into a tree trunk.

The right hand hastily raised to block the Skull Shattering Hammer with a long sword was blown into a bloody mist under the impact of the shockwave.

"With all that nonsense, you think you’re the protagonist?"

Gray Rain sneered, leaping high and swinging the iron hammer down again.

At the critical moment, the short sword in Gouchen’s left hand instinctively pulled him sideways, creating distance.

"In my story, I am the protagonist."

Suspended among the treetops, Gouchen’s beast-like face squeezed out a smile.

The Qilin bloodline within his body activated passively under the worsening injuries, accelerating the healing process together with the alchemy magic potion.

On the right shoulder’s severed end, numerous granulations grew, intertwining to form a tiny, rudimentary baby arm, barely gripping the sword handle.

"In another part of my life, I was born into a noble family, apprenticed at four to learn the sword, enlightened at seven with sword intent, graduated at eleven, and the same year, I entered the Wuyun Eighteen Villages alone, challenging hundreds of bandits and pirates with my sword. At fifteen, I joined Zhao Royal Mansion and became a guest elder..."

Gouchen was speaking loudly when he suddenly sensed something and dodged sharply.

A barrage of dense bullets shot out from the depths of the forest, closely pursuing Gouchen’s figure. Accompanied by the roaring sound of gunfire like a loom, trees were destroyed, branches snapped wherever they went.

Gouchen weaved through the forest, seizing the chance to throw the light, agile short sword.

The short sword danced up and down, avoiding the metal storm, and with a "clang," it hit the invisible target — Li Cheng in the People’s Power Armor.

In the "Radiation" series settings, China and the United States broke out into an energy war in 2066, with the United States pioneering the technology tree of power armor while China excelled in invisibility technology.

This includes invisibility suits, invisibility submarines, and this set of power armor equipped with an invisibility module.

Li Cheng held the Gauss revolving machine gun built into the power armor, stepping on the Earth Evil short sword. The struggling short sword interfered with the invisibility module, causing the power armor to flicker intermittently.

"With all that nonsense, you think you’re the protagonist?"

Li Cheng’s contemptuous voice echoed through the forest via a broadcast speaker. He placed a gravity energy ball on the ground, firmly attaching the Earth Evil short sword.

He then activated the jet backpack and invisibility module, retreating into the forest, pulling the trigger, and firing a chain of bullets.

The Gauss machine gun, as a technological creation in a near-future world view, had a firing rate, bullet speed, and power even surpassing the Avenger Cannon.

When Gouchen heard the gunfire, the metal storm was already upon him.

At the critical moment, Gouchen flipped his hand, clutching a blue card.

[Item Name: Time-Space Wander]

[Type: Consumable Item]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Special Effect: Savor the moment. After use, slows down the movement speed of all objects within a 200-meter range, increases self-reaction speed and movement speed, for up to three seconds]

[Consumption: None]

[Cooling Time: None]

[Use Conditions: Perception attribute greater than or equal to 13]

[Note: The time flow change is limited to a spherical region with a diameter of 200 meters and does not follow the user]

[Note: If I could store time in a bottle, the first thing I’d do is save every day, until eternity fades away, then share it with you]

[Note: Can be placed in Backpack, cannot be taken out of Script World]

This card, like the People’s Power Armor, was also a reward Gouchen received from Ye Shen Yue.

Originating from the game "Binding of Isaac," its effect was unpretentious but powerful.

In the first second, as the card instantly burned away, the oncoming metal bullet chain suddenly slowed down, allowing Gouchen to narrowly dodge.

In the second second, he dove down, releasing a skill.

[Skill Name: Fire Cloud Burning Sky Palm]

[Type: Spiritual Energy]

[Special Effect: Burning Sky Refining. Summon a giant burning palm to grasp and burn the target at high temperature]

[Consumption: 200 points of spiritual power value, 150 points of physical value]

[Cooling Time: 10 minutes]

[Use Conditions: Level greater than or equal to 20, martial arts expertise at master level]

[Note: One grasp and instant refining]

This skill required the target to remain stationary, so it couldn’t be used on Li Cheng who was using the jet backpack, and had to aim at Gray Rain.

A giant hand burning with fierce spiritual flames appeared out of thin air, grasping Gray Rain in its palm, intensely roasting him.

Meanwhile, Gouchen pushed off the ground; during the last second of Time-Space Wander’s effect, he charged towards Li Cheng, holding the long sword in his left hand, aiming for the vulnerable neck joint of the People’s Power Armor.

Just as Gouchen thought this sword could severely damage Li Cheng, the power armor suddenly raised the Gauss revolving machine gun, blocking the sword edge with a "clang."

?!

Gouchen’s pupils contracted; he withdrew before Li Cheng could swing the machine gun, frowning, "It’s impossible! How did you react so quickly?"

[Time-Space Wander] slowed the movement speed of surrounding objects, and since the essence of thought is neural network electrical signal transmission, which is material, it would also be slowed.

"Adidas, impossible is nothing."

Li Cheng’s voice came from the Power Armor speaker. He glanced at the ruined Gauss revolving machine gun, casually threw it aside, and drew the nearly broken rusty machete.

Indeed, [Time-Space Wander] had slowed Li Cheng’s thinking speed; however, he possessed the multi-threaded brain domain method.

Normally, generating a thought in the brain advances the task from 0 to 100.

With the multi-threaded brain domain method, Li Cheng generates a thought by advancing ten task processes simultaneously, each counting from 0 to 10.

Like a computer’s multi-core processor, thus the deceleration effect of [Time-Space Wander] was relatively small.

Earlier, he first activated the [Instant Thunder] skill, forcibly increasing body movement speed, then used the title skill [Life-Sacrificing Gambler], betting on which direction Gouchen would attack from, predicting and making a blocking action in advance.

As it turned out, he won the bet.

"Are you alright?"

Li Cheng shouted into the distance. Gray Rain, already smashing the flaming palm with his hammer, fell to the ground, wheezing, "I’m fine, just a bit hot."

Fire Cloud Burning Sky Palm’s temperature was roughly equivalent to the fourth level of the Nuclear Energy Lighter, enough to melt copper and iron.

Gray Rain walked through it without being injured, just flushed red and needing to breathe to dissipate heat, with no combat power for a short time.

"First take down Bartmos, then Eugene. To reach this point with a mere Lv16 level, it’s truly... impressive."

Gouchen narrowed his eyes, looking at Li Cheng with interest, "Someone as talented as you shouldn’t be so obscure. How about I introduce you to a job?"

"Huh?"

Li Cheng looked at Gouchen as if he were an idiot, "Dude, you must have read too many old-school god-like novels, thinking you can exude overlord aura and make everyone bow?"

"It’s not for me, but for my brother."

Gouchen calmly said, "He’s competing for the position of Southeast Asia regional head of the Global Supernatural Alliance, and he’s short of a deputy."

The Southeast Asia population is over six hundred million, and the GOC regional head there is akin to a supreme emperor.

His deputy is pretty much equivalent to an executive vice goat.

"Oh, impressive, throwing such a fantasy. Haven’t gotten the job yet but issuing empty promises?"

Li Cheng sneered, "Taking you down and getting all the keys is better than being some Southeast Asia executive vice goat."
