What does despair feel like?

For Liu Li, it was that year when she saw the city become an uninhabited forbidden zone.

The despair of that moment was something she could never forget for the rest of her life.

Later, when she was constantly hunted by anomalies and forced into a nomadic existence.

That was also despair.

And now...

At this moment when the Death God was swallowed by the deformed Giant.

The feeling of despair far exceeded any previous instance.

To gain the Death God's recognition and become an Anomaly Symbiosis Sequence user.

Liu Li had paid everything she could possibly give.

The Death God's immense power, and its stability unlike other anomalies.

All made the Death God one of the most suitable anomalies for symbiosis.

You must understand, finding a suitable anomaly is no less difficult than awakening to become a Superhuman.

Some anomalies possess intelligence not inferior to humans.

Symbiosis with such anomalies, unless you possess an absolutely rational and supremely intelligent mind.

Otherwise, you absolutely cannot last more than a month.

Anomalies are not human; much of their thinking is far beyond what a human can endure.

There are also anomalies with low intelligence but possessing absolute power.

The power of these anomalies alone is enough to corrupt a normal person's mental world.

And some anomalies are completely incapable of symbiosis with humans.

But the Death God...

The Death God possessed terrifyingly immense power, yet also had sufficiently stable emotions.

It was like the first silent person who had sealed off all their senses.

Such conditions were undoubtedly one in ten thousand.

Other Anomaly Symbiosis Sequence users endured the temptations of their anomalies every single moment.

Yet the degree of corruption Liu Li suffered from the anomaly's power was much weaker.

Liu Li didn't know the reason.

But this discovery still filled Liu Li with immense joy.

Otherwise, with her Sequence 4 strength, she could never have endured symbiosis with the Death God.

And now...

In her eyes, the Death God was swallowed whole by that deformed, bloated Giant.

Swallowed in one bite...

Liu Li's body swayed, feeling only darkness before her eyes.

The power within her body seemed to have been drained away.

It was like working hard to accumulate wealth for half a lifetime, only to lose it all completely in an instant.

This kind of blow...

Liu Li bit her lip fiercely.

Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth onto her chest, staining a blood-red rose on her white clothes.

Liu Li opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But she had no strength at all.

In the end, she couldn't utter a single word.

"Giggle giggle... Ding Shen, look... even that woman is finished, what are you still resisting?"

A charming, girlish voice came from the Tangled Crowd.

The girl had a face like a painting, an internet celebrity face, stunningly beautiful at just a glance.

Ding Shen's hand holding the longsword paused slightly.

He had also seen the scene just now.

He naturally knew the power of the Death God Liu Li was symbiotically bonded with.

During the last No-Rules Race, although the Death God hadn't used its full power, Ding Shen was still very wary of that symbiotic anomaly, the Death God.

And now...

Such a powerful Death God had actually been swallowed.

This...

Ding Shen also felt the emotion of despair.

Right at this moment, a pale, delicate wrist gently grabbed Ding Shen's arm.

"Ding Shen, join us, merge with us into one!"

"Then you will be the strongest!"

"We will all proclaim you as our master!"

"Even that bloated, deformed Big Fool probably wouldn't be our match!"

"Ding Shen, join us..."

More hands reached out, grabbing Ding Shen's arms, wrists, ankles...

At this moment, Ding Shen was like a patient who had lost control of his mind.

"Sigh..."

"Could it be... we really can't hold on?"

Right at this moment, the tail behind Ding Shen rose high like a venomous snake, its "head" "staring" at those hands grabbing Ding Shen.

Those "people" grabbing Ding Shen watched this tail warily.

As Ding Shen's "old friend" and "old rival," the "Tangled Crowd" knew very well the terror of this tail.

"Can't hold on anymore?"

"Even such a powerful Death God was eaten!"

"How can I alone possibly withstand this?"

Ding Shen murmured to himself.

"That's right, that's right, Ding Shen, you're too tired!"

"The entire Oasis depends on you, how could you possibly bear it?"

"The entire Oasis is full of trash, only you are giving!"

"You have it too hard!"

"Join us, join us and you will be a completely new person, a completely new Ding Shen!"

"Then, protecting the entire Oasis will be nothing!"

"Humans cannot possibly defeat anomalies!"

With each sentence spoken, a different voice rang in Ding Shen's ears.

Ding Shen shook his head: "On the day I became a Guardian, I understood my mission."

"From the day Oasis was founded, I knew I belonged here!"

Ding Shen raised the large sword in his hand.

Pointing at a line of characters on the blade, he asked: "Can you read?"

The girl who was desperately pulling Ding Shen toward herself was stunned for a moment, looking at the line of characters on the large sword.

She softly read it out: "Guard until breath ceases, or your name no longer exists in this world."

Ding Shen let out a bitter laugh: "I must be crazy, actually saying these things to an anomaly!"

"Compared to the Son of the Blood Moon sequence, I actually prefer the Guardian Sequence!"

"However, the Son of the Blood Moon sequence is really strong!"

"It's just that I've never used the Son of the Blood Moon's abilities in front of people before."

When he said this, Ding Shen secretly glanced toward the deepest part of the crowd.

"Kid, watch carefully, whether it's the Son of the Blood Moon or the Blood Moon Lord, both are very strong!"

"We... are different from them!"

As soon as the last word was spoken.

Ding Shen's entire body was seen beginning to burn with blazing crimson flames.

These crimson flames were completely different from the Mohawk teenager's black flames.

If the two were forced to be compared, it would be the difference between stars and the moon.

The moment the crimson flames ignited.

Those arms grabbing Ding Shen reacted as if scalded.

They instantly retracted, then looked at Ding Shen in horror.

"You... you... what exactly are you?"

"Ding Shen, you... what exactly are you?"

Ding Shen paid no attention to what the Tangled Crowd's words might mean.

He only knew that right now, he was very strong!

The blood moon in the sky had, at some unknown time, become exceptionally vivid.

If you looked closely, you could even see the blood moon seeming to pulsate like a heart.

The tail behind Ding Shen's black armor also underwent a tremendous change.

Ding Shen's previous tail was slender, like a venomous snake.

If forced to make a comparison, it was more like a scorpion's tail.

But now...

Ding Shen's tail was somewhat like the massive tail of a dinosaur.

Moreover, the entire tail seemed soaked in blood, continuously dripping red blood.

Ding Shen held his longsword, his face hidden beneath the black mask, his expression unclear.

Before his whole body even moved, the massive tail was seen trembling slightly, like a knight's lance charging forward.

It actually directly pierced through the 'Tangled Crowd'.

The tail lifted the "Tangled Crowd" high, like a knight returning from battle, a trophy raised on the tip of his lance.
