[Kingdom, Moon City]
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang, and Hua Yuan opened the door.
"Why are you back from work already looking so worn out and disheveled? Did the company lay you off?"
"Hua Yuan, stop joking around, I need your help with sothing..."
Hua Yuan seed indifferent, "How can I help? It looks like a dead end in this situation. Luo Di, no matter how skilled you are, you can't handle this guy.
He seems to be hosted in a lower god's body, but his divine sense is still that of a death row inmate from the Central Prison."
Luo Di continued with his thoughts: "Hua Yuan, you are best at targeting ntal and brain intrusions... Can you help erase all mories, including the deepest level of cognition?
Only retain my awareness of Emperor Mura and my body's instincts."
"Erase the deepest cognitive logic? You might end up becoming an idiot... Besides, you have specific requirents to retain so things. It's very difficult..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Di felt relieved, "Then that's it, I'm leaving."
"Hey! I haven't agreed yet."
"Please."
Seeing Luo Di already walking out, Hua Yuan hurriedly followed, standing at the door and shouting loudly, "Even if I really succeed? Can you really win?"
"I can't win, but maybe I can survive."
Luo Di knew better than anyone how strong this so-called Emperor Mura, with only a trace of divine sense escaping here, was, even surpassing the dangers of the Original Dungeon.
This was the standard of the Central Prison, this was the power that a mad god labeled as a "death row inmate" by the Prison Director should have.
Although he couldn't win,
Luo Di wanted to survive, wanted to continue chopping down.
Earlier,
His full-force strike under the Old Attitude, although aid at the opponent's head, couldn't even make contact... The opponent's reversal wasn't limited to techniques; Emperor Mura himself was a reversal.
To touch the opponent, he must move in reverse.
But Luo Di attempting to learn and apply this imdiately was impossible. All his action habits, all his combat modes were based on inherent forward fraworks.
If he relied on his brain to forcibly reverse, the massive data would quickly overwhelm his nerves, and every action would beco stuck. Any error would interrupt the reversal process, and it couldn't be considered true "reverse walking."
To reverse walk,
He must discard everything.
Right now, he could only seek Hua Yuan's help, he could only gamble!
He must survive, even if the chances were extrely slim.
Creaaak creak~
Tiny dense flower pistils spread throughout his brain, their thickness similar to neurons.
They integrated with his brain tissue, retaining only his bodily instincts and mories related to Emperor Mura, as requested by Luo Di.
After this process, Hua Yuan was exhausted, yet she wasn't the least bit flustered.
It seed that as long as she could die alongside Luo Di, it didn't matter at all.
It's as if she already knew sothing in advance; from the mont she saw Emperor Mura's true form, she completely relaxed, even a bit pleased.
...
Deep within the cave.
Luo Di began his "reverse walking."
This was not just simple backward walking; it included the reversal of all his arm swings, his steps, all his movents.
Emperor Mura, founder of the Reversed Sect, creator of the Reversal Technique, could see with a glance that this reverse walking wasn't an imitation, but instinctual.
"Your talent far exceeds my expectations... Even my sect's disciples couldn't reverse with such speed, of course, they never had the chance to face head-on.
Your approach is correct!
To reverse walk, everything must be overturned.
The longer you live, the harder it is to achieve. You are still young and have the ability to overturn it all, but it's such a pity... Ah~ what a pity!"
It seed Emperor Mura understood sothing, yet he didn't deploy any offensive techniques against the young man reverse walking before him.
He just stood there, waiting for the other's arrival.
Watching the step-by-step reverse walking, watching the inverse transition from the deepest level.
Emperor Mura liked it more and more as he watched.
Finally,
Luo Di reverse walked to his front, slashing down with his blade...
Slap!
Previously, facing Luo Di's full-powered slash, Emperor Mura neither dodged nor blocked.
This ti, seeing such a slow, ordinary slash, he raised his hand to block.
Furthermore, what ca slashing wasn't the blade edge, but the back of the blade.
Such an ordinary slash, and even with an unsharpened blade back, actually landed on him solidly.
The arm raised to block bled, filled with green-tinted blood.
At the sa ti.
Caw!
Lady Nightingale's self-birth was complete, and she took the opportunity to launch a swift sneak attack from behind.
The sack heavily struck Emperor Mura's head, ripples spreading out, yet it still couldn't hurt him in the slightest.
"...Can't you see I'm busy? Get lost!"
Emperor Mura's seemingly weak body, which didn't appear to have trained much physically, turned and punched, directly sending Crow's true form flying.
Followed by another giant fireball that exploded, completely destroying the body.
His thoughts remained focused on Luo Di,
dodging and blocking repeatedly, Luo Di's speed increased rapidly, and his body was quickly adapting to the reverse, with astounding learning and adaptability.
However...
This was, after all, the first day of learning, and this fundantal, subversive behavior pattern soon pushed the body to its limits. Luo Di's speed no longer increased, attack strength slowly plateaued, and his breathing gradually beca erratic.
Pop!
Emperor Mura grabbed his throat, lifting the entire person into the air.
The reversal technique was transmitted through the skin, completely locking down the body, making any movent impossible.
Strangely,
He did not deliver a killing blow but showed a relieved expression, as if he had seen the final outco of this duel during the reversal.
"Alright! Let's end this child's play... Senior Ito, co out now! I've proven that, even if I unleash power far beyond the Dungeon's, this place won't bother about it.
The Prison Director is dead, and you're still so cautious.
I knew that a thin-skinned creator like you wouldn't just let it go and would surely follow here. Just didn't expect you'd use this young one as a dium.
Looks like you're getting along well with the people of this world~ I'm honestly envious of you."
As he finished speaking,
Flowers sprouted from all seven of Luo Di's orifices.
However, these flowers were all "two-dinsional," weaving together on Luo Di's back, forming content of a black-and-white comic.
Depicting a small alley,
Deeper in the alley was a comic store.
This was still a dynamic comic; one could see the doors slowly sliding open.
A middle-aged man in glasses and impeccably dressed in a suit walked out.
As the man approached,
Emperor Mura's body gradually beca strange, his skin flipping like pages of a comic, hiding grotesque, strange creatures between the skin.
The shop owner did not fully co this way but stood in comic form on Luo Di's back area, staring directly at Emperor Mura.
Despite the deep hatred, there was no imdiate deadly strike.
The shop owner's voice ca out from between the comics:
"After all these years on the run, your heart has cald considerably. Didn't expect you to not kill Luo Di, which truly surprised ... I can offer you a chance.
Just admit your mistakes to , retract those rude and impolite words of the past.
I will leave then, and you can use the reversal technique to gradually restore to your forr appearance.
Of course, we will need to have a detailed discussion afterward."
Emperor Mura suddenly laughed aloud, "Hahaha! Admit mistakes? What did I do wrong? Your comics are indeed impressive, but on a literary level, they are just so-so, I just don't like them, I just find them aningless.
A person like you who lives in their own world might indeed have unique characteristics, but surely won't make it to the end.
No... You seem to have changed a bit! You seem to be actively interacting with the creatures of this marginal world, no longer so arrogant.
It seems my words were indeed useful, isn't proper criticism good?
At this point, there's nothing more to say.
In my eyes, you are indeed just rubbish! Also, can you show a little respect, could you co out and speak with face to face?"
As he finished speaking,
Emperor Mura ignored the dismantling comics all over his body and the grotesque monsters hidden within, reaching out to grab at the middle-aged man among the comics.
But as soon as his fingers touched, they began to disintegrate from the tips.
He had long been exhausted,
This temporary body was never ant to last long, much less withstand such comic disassembly.
The shop owner had already retreated, expressionless, without the relief of having killed his nesis.
Snap...
The remnants of Emperor Mu'er collapsed to the ground.
All the past events flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and before his mouth could dissipate, he spoke softly:
"Finally t a kindred spirit... No regrets.
It's just a pity you never saw in my pri; of course, even in my pri, I couldn't fully exploit the reverse technique.
Luo Di~ Central Prison has many who are crazier than , if you want to go there, rember to walk backward..."
