Chapter 505: Chapter 502: "The Explosive at the Heart.

Eleventh second.

Immortal Skill expired.

— At this second, the fate of death descended upon him in an unstoppable manner.

All five senses vanished, breathing ceased, and his shattered heart stopped beating.

Thoughts fragmented, the intense pain disappeared instantly as if the power was cut off.

As the suffocating sensation ebbed away like the tide, Su Ming’an opened his eyes.

Before him, slime was spread all around; he was sitting on the rooftop of the Stone Fortress, with obedient tentacles lying next to him. They had not yet slipped from his control, and the eerie heartbeat from the swathes of black mud had not yet emerged.

The SAN value in the upper left corner was still a normal 65 points; it had not plummeted off a cliff.

...But his eyes were still filled with confusion.

The sudden impalement through the chest by a staff, the severe pain as his heart was gradually ground to pieces... The senses fading bit by bit, the loss of control over his body step by step, the ghastly agony akin to being pressed by a ghost... And facing that sticky substance, staring directly at the weird eyeballs, the endless strangeness and fear that clung to him from head to toe were still hammering at his nerves.

He had never felt such painful metamorphosis.

It was as if something had forcibly turned his body into a battlefield and waged a tug-of-war over his brain matter, muscles, and blood. He had been stripped of the ability to control his limbs and think.

...So, those players who became mentally ill after the "White Sand Paradise" instance had experienced such metamorphosis.

They had endured such pain.

The somewhat fiery wind of the calamity period brushed against his cheeks, and his knuckles made a slight "crack" sound involuntarily.

In the barrage of comments in the upper-right corner, the audience also noticed that something was seriously wrong with him.

It seemed that from one blink to the next, he had shown an unmistakable expression of pain.

[What’s going on? Why did Su Ming’an suddenly become like this?]

[Is Number One Player sick?]

[Adventurer Players seem to have a hard time getting sick, usually it’s just a debuff status, after all, we are all digitized bodies... Could this be poisoning?]

[I heard that top-ranked players *** have skills similar to voodoo dolls.]

[These symptoms don’t look like a curse, more like a fever. Number One Player, drink more water.]

[Hehe, sick Ming’an, hehehe...]

Without him needing to explain, this bunch of viewers came up with a hundred and eight possible reasons within seconds, like remote curses, sudden heart disease, acute illnesses, and no one thought of death and rollback.

...However, in fact, normal people shouldn’t think of that at all.

Meaning Noel is not a normal person.

He closed his eyes and calmed his state.

The aftermath of last week’s metamorphosis was indeed too intense.

However, his current condition was much better than those players whose minds really had issues, as his Mentality Points were far above theirs, almost more than eight times.

The extreme focus of 140 Mentality Points finally came into play; even after metamorphosis, though he couldn’t control his limbs, his senses were dulled, and his thinking ability stalled, he still maintained a stable state and could vaguely remember the post-metamorphosis condition.

He looked up into the distance; at this point in time, the battlefield task had just been released, and the silhouettes of players were gradually appearing in the sky.

He remembered that it was after he had stretched the tentacle monster to 10,000 yards, completing the "Path of Purification" task, that he started to hear the weird heartbeat from within the black mud, and his body began to mutate.

He had realized that there were actually many hints beforehand. For example, the Oracle said that humans cannot match the deity, so if he wanted to forcibly control the tentacle monster, a creation of the deity, he would inevitably pay a price.

Another example, he had digested the malice from the giant eyeball under an eightfold strength enhancement the day before, but as the time limit for the "Cursed Ghost vs. Man" instance expired and the eightfold enhancement was removed, this became a trap.

...An extremely sinister trap.

...

[Player (Su Ming’an), your strength has returned to normal for an extended period, and your Mentality Points are insufficient, you have lost control over the tentacle monster.]

[You will soon become... a follower...]

...

These were the system notifications he had heard in the last loop.

It was evident that this was the reason he had become "metamorphosed".

He could no longer suppress the tentacle monster, so he became its "follower".

That was why Noel had been so eager to kill him in the last loop.

Sometimes, for intelligent people, to kill is to save.

Noel killing him had three possibilities.

First, Noel did not know that his Cloning had already gone out to act as the boss rabbit. Thinking that he could resurrect through the Cloning upon his death, she wanted to kill him to release him from the metamorphosis.

Second, Noel had precisely guessed that he had a death rewind ability—although the likelihood was not high, considering from the last loop, Noel had only suspected he had a similar trump card.

Third, in the last loop, Noel had not spoken with him as the riddle man, and had not figured out he had a death rewind, which meant it was a sheer act of backstabbing.

However, overall, he was more inclined to believe the first hypothesis.

...Now, the tentacle monster had actually escaped from his control. If he showed any intention of wanting to stop the expansion, it would immediately bare its fangs and metamorphose him.

Therefore, he was unable to escape now, nor could he afford to.

He turned around and patted the face of Yamada Machiichi, who was lying unconscious beside him.

"Hmm, hmm..." Yamada Machiichi was fast asleep and woke up groggy from the slap, still full of bewilderment in his eyes.

"Did you see Noel?" Su Ming’an asked him.

"Ah, no, I didn’t," Yamada Machiichi said. "I passed out when I entered the Stone Fortress the day before yesterday."

"Hmm." Su Ming’an then woke up Migael, who was also unconscious beside them. Meanwhile, Yamada Machiichi passed out again. Players like him, whose spiritual power didn’t meet the standard, found it hard to resist in this kind of environment.

Su Ming’an inquired about Migael’s time authority and what it could achieve.

Migael explained that his authority wasn’t a true rewind of time but "creating a situation" — he could freeze the scene within a certain range and after a set time, activate ’rewind’ to return everything back to the frozen state.

"Understood." Su Ming’an’s fingertip manifested a white Mechanical Explosive. It was an Explosive-making skill he had learned in the Daylight Floating City. Although it was powerful, making one cost 40 Points, which was not cost-effective, and he hadn’t used it for a long time.

He vibrated the explosive, and before it went off, handed it to Migael.

"Freeze it for one hour," he said.

Migael froze the explosive, on the verge of detonation, and Su Ming’an tossed it out.

The explosive went off with a "boom".

The explosive’s lethal power was immense; at close range, it was enough to burst a person’s heart.

He moved forward, picked up the remnants of the explosive, and stuffed them into his pocket.

After pondering for a moment, he took a deep breath and then stuck it onto his chest.

It was next to his beating heart.
