Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1559 Dual Protection

The violent punches raged, and the shattered power of "authority" swept everywhere.

The spatial structure... no, this "eternal cage," as part of the divine kingdom and as a relatively independent "small world," was shaken, cracked by Gu Mo's fist.

A look of astonishment and rage appeared on the face of the God of Shadows. This god, who held the power of "pain" and always inflicted "pain" on others, felt pain for the first time in a long time... Pain was happening to Him!

That shattered "Shadow" authority... has already affected His original avatar!

The shadowy giant standing between heaven and earth began to show cracks on its body.

Even gods can be wounded before a 'Grandmaster'!

Shen Bingmiao's maniacal laughter rang out from the sticky note.

"See that? This is Grandmaster Gu Mo's 'Heart Domain'!"

"It's so simple it's almost brutal... but precisely because it's so simple, even 'gods' would suffer at her hands!"

As Lin Yu felt the chaotic power of authority and watched Gu Mo's fist, imbued with the "will of the world," shatter the nightmare monster and then extend to the entire shadow, he felt a sense of powerlessness, even though he knew Gu Mo was on his side.

"So this is a top-tier 'fourth-tier' 'player'... truly a monster."

"No, this is just 'Grandmaster'..."

Shen Bingmiao's leisurely voice rang out.

“An ordinary god’s original avatar would be able to return to the divine realm after taking such a punch, but… this ‘God of Shadows’ is indeed difficult to deal with.”

Even though the shadow had begun to crumble and cracks appeared on its original body as if it were about to shatter, the God of Shadows calmed down after a moment of shock and pain.

“Impressive, demigod, I understand… You’re not just arrogant and reckless, you truly possess this strength,” the God of Shadows whispered. “‘Grandmaster’… is that so? I will remember you—it’s a waste for someone like you to exist in this world, you should…”

"To become one with me, and then to become the most terrifying 'nightmare' in the world!"

The words of the God of Shadows fell...

Her original avatar suddenly "exploded"!

"Oh!"

The shadows surged outwards like a tidal wave, then began to engulf the world.

Previously, the "shadows" simply "covered" the surfaces of all objects, but now they are beginning to multiply and thicken.

Gu Mo stomped her foot on the ground, instantly annihilating the shadows around her, just like extinguishing a flame.

“Just ‘increment’...that doesn’t mean anything to me.”

Gu Mo said calmly.

The God of Shadows looked at Gu Mo and said, "I'm not dealing with you right now—although you're on my 'list,' what I need to do now is... eliminate my 'target.'"

"Although you are very strong... but—you don't seem to be very good at 'protecting' people."

Gu Mo sighed: "This is really an arrogant prejudice. You self-proclaimed 'gods' and high-ranking beings of the Ten Realms who have some 'authority and power'... always look down on people unexpectedly in places like this."

"This might be the reason why you people are inherently 'disregard human life'."

"Perhaps your power is objectively strong enough, but that is not a reason for you to trample on human life."

"And you... still underestimated the power of 'martial arts'."

As Gu Mo spoke, she then turned her hands into fists and claws, reaching out towards the shadow in front of her.

This is no longer the punching method she usually uses, which is derived from "Bajiquan" and "Taijiquan" and carries some shadows of "Xingyiquan" and "boxing".

What Gu Mo used at this moment wasn't even a "striking technique," but rather a kind of "grappling technique."

In one-on-one combat, when absolute strength is not the advantage, "grappling techniques" that can dislocate tendons and bones are sometimes far more helpful in defeating the enemy than "striking techniques".

of course……

Most of the "grappling techniques" that Gu Mo learned in the first half of her life were designed for humans.

While techniques targeting human joints and the physiological structures of humanoid creatures can be transferred to other beings in the Ten Realms, since most creatures also possess joints and throats, these techniques, which require attacking the opponent's structure, are indeed not very versatile.

Especially when dealing with high-level beings like "gods," beings that are hardly even "physical" but rather closer to a "concept," even with Gu Mo's current attack empowered by the "world's will," it's unlikely to be effective.

This sounds as "ridiculous" as throwing an axe into the sky.

but……

The God of Shadows, who was the recipient of Gu Mo's "grappling technique" at this moment, did not find it ridiculous at all.

Because He truly felt "threatened"!

After all, a master of Gu Mo's caliber is no laughing matter when she makes a move.

She would use grappling techniques against the God of Shadows simply because...

Gu Mo was quite certain that this trick really worked.

After she grew to the fourth tier of strength and became the pinnacle of the players, Gu Mo's understanding of "grappling techniques" was no longer limited to "form".

For Gu Mo...

The strike can be imbued with the will of the world through one's own "mental domain" and the effects of "the power of heaven and earth and the subtlety of limbs," thus enabling a single punch to shatter even authority...

Therefore, grappling techniques... naturally can be more than just a skill for locking human "joints".

The so-called "grappling" is essentially about finding the "vulnerable" connection that plays a key role in "movement" and then applying pressure and influence to this part to hinder the "movement" of the recipient.

After understanding this...

Even if the object being captured is not humanoid, or even has no physical form, but is a concept such as energy or "authority"...

Gu Mo can also exert influence on it.

"Crack——!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the shadows emitted a sound as if something was "breaking."

Then, the process of the shadow engulfing the entire world came to a halt.

even……

These shadows once again revealed cracks—through these cracks, Gu Mo could even see Lin Yu's location once more.

"Are you kidding me... that's way too much!"

The God of Shadows looked at Gu Mo before him, his dark eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"Are you really just a demigod?"

At this moment... the God of Shadows, which had originally turned into a large patch of shadow, has now reformed into a figure as tall as a person!

However, this was not His own will, but rather influenced by "Gu Mo"—Gu Mo's "capture" reshaped the original avatar, which had been transformed into pure authority and power, into human form.

and……

At this moment, Gu Mo firmly locked the hands of the God of Shadows.

Gu Mo looked into the eyes of the God of Shadows and spoke in a low voice.

“It is not only by wielding ‘power’ and becoming what you call ‘god’ that one can be ‘powerful’… The world is vast, and there are many ways to be powerful.”

"If you haven't grasped this point... then your character is truly unworthy of the power you possess."

As Gu Moping spoke calmly, the God of Shadows laughed.

"What beautiful words! I knew I didn't like you!"

"However... I admit, you are indeed very strong—I really couldn't complete this mission with just my original avatar."

"However, in any case, you still have a weakness—although you have made up for many of the shortcomings of your own combat style through the privileged power of your 'player' 'demigod', such as when facing enemies of a higher level, or the power of intangible abilities and authority, you can use the 'world will' to deflect the 'reality' in the battle in the direction you are good at..."

"But I told you, you're just not good at 'protecting others' no matter what!"

"After all... I do have allies!"

As the God of Shadows spoke, new tiny shadows emerged from the wrist of his avatar, which Gu Mo had forcibly reshaped into human form—these shadows coalesced into numerous nightmare monsters the size of thumbs, which bit Gu Mo's wrist tightly.

The nightmare monsters were connected and merged together, like a pair of shackles, wrapped around Gu Mo's forearm!

Although Gu Mo had locked down the God of Shadows...

But the god of shadows has now also locked Gu Mo in his grasp!

After sealing Gu Mo in shadow, the God of Shadows spoke again.

"Make your move, God of Oblivion!"

Gu Mo frowned upon hearing this: "There's another god? What a complicated situation, and what a grand scheme!"

"You're actually targeting a second-tier member of our 'Order' like this? That's... really strange!"

Gu Mo said this with a hint of resentment in her voice.

but……

She was indeed unable to free her hands from the Shadow God's seal for the time being—although she had used all her strength, the power of the Shadow Authority was crumbling every second, and the nightmare monsters wrapped around her hands were dying one after another.

However, the God of Shadows seemed to have fully grasped Gu Mo's power, so he chose this form... which indeed made it impossible for Gu Mo to break free immediately!

Although the price was that He, as a deity, could no longer influence the entire "Eternal Kingdom" for the time being...

However, in the eyes of the God of Shadows, it was all worthwhile.

Because after the shadows recede...

The mist gradually rose and began to swirl around Lin Yu.

"careful!"

Gu Molang reminded him loudly.

"As expected, the gods are not to be underestimated... Even a 'Grandmaster' who is this powerful and possesses such an almost 'unsolvable' 'mental domain' can still be restricted?"

Lin Yu also let out a breath and looked at the secret communication stick in his hand.

"So, what should we do now, senior?"

He was prepared; if all else failed... he would reveal his ultimate trump card in front of the senior and the master.

but……

Shen Bingmiao clearly wouldn't disappoint Lin Yu.

"Don't worry... I told you from the beginning..."

The pale man's figure appeared behind Lin Yu, and without anyone noticing—or rather, without anyone noticing his existence being forgotten each time he was noticed—he silently reached out his tentacles toward Lin Yu's neck.

Just as His attack was about to touch Lin Yu.

"Ding Dong!"

A crisp sound rang out, followed by crackling electricity that coalesced into a slender figure wearing a hoodie.

A skeletal left hand gripped the tentacle.

Shen Bingmiao's cheerful voice rang out.

"...I've assigned you 'Dual Protection'!"
