Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 779: A Life-and-Death Struggle (Subscription Requested)

Pei Yan's taunts made Detrich furious yet helpless. He stared at Pei Yan's mischievous eyes, revealed after removing the mask, while adjusting his mindset and stalling for time by asking, "When did you switch places with your clone? When you pulled us into this space, you were in human form, which should have been your true body. But during the battle, we kept fighting. Why didn't I notice!"

Pei Yan tilted his head and chuckled, "That's because I had already switched with my Mechanical Puppet before engaging you. From the beginning, I hid in the shadows, directing my mechanism to fight and converse with you."

Detrich frowned upon hearing Pei Yan's explanation, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "It was the smoke bomb! During the release of the smoke bomb, you took the opportunity to swap bodies!"

This time, Pei Yan nodded in agreement, not speaking. Seeing this, Detrich cursed silently, feeling he should have figured it out earlier. Since then, Pei Yan hadn't taken off his mask to reveal his human face, but for those who don't know the whole story, who can detect anything wrong in the heat of battle? Thinking about how he exerted all his efforts just to deal with a clone, Detrich held his forehead, smiling bitterly with a sense of helplessness arising, realizing there's no way out now that Pei Yan and the other are both present.

"So, you haven't actually fallen for my supernatural ability at all. Your mechanical body was just acting!" Ignoring Detrich, who had lost his fighting spirit, Amendina held her abdomen and struggled to stand from the ground, glaring viciously at Pei Yan.

"That's right. Your ability is indeed impressive; to form images within a pure mechanical body. And it is through the transmitted information that I learned of your powers," Pei Yan said, recalling the image transmitted by Pei San. He looked at Amendina, still with lingering fear, and said, "I must admit your powers are formidable. If you hadn't revealed prematurely your excellent control over the mind and soul, prompting me to take precautions, my real body might have fallen for your trick and you could have exploited it."

"Hehe, what's the point of saying this now? We've already missed the best opportunity to kill you! Just tell us what you're going to do with us." Amendina said as she extended her hand towards her chest.

"If they were players from other dimensions, I'd let them rip off their wristbands and quit the match themselves. As for you, hehe, I believe you already know that the hostility between us is irreconcilable—it's either you die or perish! You haven't removed your wristbands to quit until now, seems your organization issued some kind of death order! So what's there left to say? Will you go yourselves, or should I send you off?" Pei Yan finished, putting his mask back on, and with Pei San beside him, flanked the two, sealing their escape route, ready to strike if they made a move.

"Self-terminate? Pei Yan, you underestimate the people from Divine Will! I've killed at least one or two hundred men. I anticipated this day would come, but hoping I'll surrender to execution is your delusion!" Amendina, who had been hesitant, suddenly showed a firm demeanor, shouting angrily at Detrich beside her, "Detrich! Look at yourself now, how long do you plan to indulge in despair? At this final moment, do you want to die less dignified than a woman?"

"Shut up! It's not for you to lecture me! Effects don't matter now! Even if I die, I'll tear a piece from Pei Yan!" Detrich retorted, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a vial containing an orange-red liquid, uncorking it. A pungent smell spread quickly. This vial contained hormones extracted by Suhabaru using his powers, refined with various materials across dimensions. Since Suhabaru's death, these became scarce, given out by the organization for desperation at the match's critical point.

Upon consumption, it would instantly boost one's physical capabilities to twenty times battle power, duration based on individual constitution. Yet, due to its severe potency and instability, the user risks spontaneous combustion after consumption, even if miraculously surviving, facing numerous side effects: lighter, requiring a year of recuperation; heavier, bedridden and disabled forever.

Nevertheless, these concerns were negligible at this moment. Gulping it down, Detrich drained the vial, throwing the empty bottle forcefully to the ground, hearing the glass shatter. He felt intense heat from within, heart rate accelerating, his body heating up, vision blurred, muscles spasming uncontrollably, pain spreading throughout his body, a force swelling within, akin to a flood beast breaking free, ready to obliterate the world!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Detrich roared like a beast, now dyed crimson, muscles constantly cracking and healing in a cycle, adapting to the bodily changes amidst severe pain, instantly locking onto his target with predator eyes.

Boom! The powerful force stomp formed a collision that shook the entire parallel space. Detrich, now holding a military dagger, transformed into a gust, charged straight towards Pei Yan, targeting him relentlessly with face-to-face direct combat without deceit, trading life for life!

Pei Yan, standing still, ignored Detrich completely, silently snapped his fingers towards Pei San, his gaze fixed solely on Amendina, who had suddenly turned defiant.

As expected, after successfully instigating Detrich's desperate assault, Amendina seemingly readied to unleash abilities but her alluring gaze darted around, assessing whether to stay or flee in the field.

But Pei Yan quickly made the decision for her. Amendina, who was initially just pretending to assess the situation, widened her mouth in shock at the unfolding scene ahead. She glanced at the Mechanical Puppet, which transformed into a Demon God exuding killing intent, releasing immense power during the collision with Detrich. Amendina's last hope was completely shattered, as she immediately tore off the sleeve of her shirt, activating the hidden wristband within her body. The wristband appeared on her wrist, prompting her to reach out and hastily tear it away.

"After seeing the secret of my clone, do you still plan on leaving here alive to relay information?" Pei Yan's ghostly voice whispered in her ear.
