Apocalypse: System of lotteries



"Heh~"

Seth chuckled coldly, "You're just trying to buy time, aren't you? But I'm very interested in why you're not afraid of me. Why? Don't you fear God? Don't you have faith?"

"Heh~ You may not know it, but I indeed don't have so many strange beliefs."

As Ming said this, he stopped smiling, and told him, "Actually, I only believe in myself. To sum it up in one sentence, it would be... Man can conquer nature!"

"Eh?"

Seth sneered, "How can man conquer nature?"

Ming replied with a smile, "Let me tell you a story. God created a flood and commanded Noah to build an ark. But, we defeated the natural disaster by dredging the rivers ourselves. And today, I still follow the path of my ancestors. I do not bow to the flood, but make it follow my will!"

Seth glared at him, "What do you want?"

Ming laughed, "If you stand in my way, I will kill you!"

[Your froggies have finally quietly reached Seth, simultaneously initiating their ability to take. Foodie takes his scepter, Merlin takes his crown, and Da Vinci takes all his equipment... Triggering the Strip Assistant, stripping the opponent of his talent*1~]

"!!"

Seth was stunned!

Scepter, crown, gold armor... They were... gone?

He looked at Ming, "You will die!!!"

"Come, kill!"

Ming pulled out the thunder hammer and was the first to jump out, followed closely by Lavia. The rest of them picked up their weapons and followed them, shouting loudly!

Angelo and the others roared. They didn't know why, but after the boss finished that story, when they looked at the 'god' again, the sense of awe disappeared!

Could this be the power of the boss?

"Come! Fight me one on one!"

Ming charged forward, immediately using his compulsory skill. While Seth was immune to regular negative effects, he couldn't resist the compulsory one. Suddenly, Seth was confined within a circular light grid.

"If you were truly a god, could you be restrained?"

Ming looked at the stunned 'god' while speaking to the people around him, "Everyone, stand outside the circle and attack."

The next instant, he jumped into the circle with his thunder hammer in hand and held out a begging bowl, "God should be rich, right?"

Taking advantage of Seth's momentary surprise, he jabbed a needle into him, testing the effects of a hallucinogenic potion. As expected, it didn't work.

At this moment, Seth raised his arms and invoked the fine sand to form a cone. But before he could launch it, he was handed a prescription.

Taking advantage of Seth's pause, Ming used all his strength to swing his thunder hammer. Influenced by the immense force, the electricity is out from the hammer. The next instant, the hammer had already smashed into Seth's chest, and the electricity scattered like fireworks.

Divine Defense -1000!

"…"

The electricity hit him, but it didn't kill him! Even if it didn't kill him, it should at least have paralyzed him, right?

Right, paralysis was also a negative effect, and Seth was immune to it!

"How dare you!!"

Seth roared, his arms lifted from bottom to top, layer upon layer of fine sand converging into the temple from all around.

"God, you still need casting time?"Ming laughed. 

Weren't you just asking for a beating?

He immediately activated [Fancy Footwork], each hammer blow landing on Seth's chest, abdomen, legs, arms, and head like it was carving a mountain. As his power increased, the electricity from the hammer changed from light blue to dark blue, then to violet blue! Bunches of electricity exploded on the 'god' Seth!

Divine Defense -1000!

Divine Defense -1000!

...

Divine Defense -1000!

"!!!"

Enduring successive blows, Seth finally managed to gather the fine sand around him into a shield. The hammer's electricity scattered on the sandy shield, failing to harm Seth.

"Water!"

"Got it!"

Lavia roared, clenching a few bottles of mental and physical potions in his mouth, and bellowed, "Water!!"

Boom!! 

Following that, numerous streams of water erupted from the pores all over his body. Under his control, the streams of water converged into a pillar, transforming into a crystal-clear water dragon that doused Seth. Being under the effects of the compulsory duel, Seth was unable to dodge, and all the water landed on the fine sand, permeating it and drenching Seth.

Now was the chance!

Ming leaped, swinging his thunder hammer with both arms. The electricity changed from violet-blue to deep purple, the massive electric forks spreading out and striking the surrounding stone pillars, hall, floor, and dome.

Whoosh!!

With a downward swing of the hammer, the electric forks followed the water flow, passed through the fine sand, and hit Seth all over. Boom!!!

Divine Defense -3000!!

The compulsory duel ended!

"Today, you all will die!!"

Seth regained his freedom and immediately backed off. Raising both arms, the fine sand around him started to gather and condense into thousands of javelin-like sand spikes, pointing menacingly at everyone in the temple.

"Die!!"

Seth roared, and thousands of 'sand spears' launched simultaneously.

"Heavenly Arrival!!"

"Heavenly Shield!!!"

At this moment, a big body in the crowd swelled in size, with a psionic shield protecting everyone behind him. Lavia blocked the other side with a water shield, warding off the piercing sand spikes. However, there were still gaps, and some were hit and fell to the ground injured.

Seth, who had retreated to the temple's entrance, showed no signs of stopping. In the desert, he could endlessly manipulate sand, creating an unlimited number of sand spikes.

"Take the injured into the tent!"

Ming took a step forward, shaking both arms. A golden light exploded around him, and a giant bell's shadow appeared, forming a Golden Bell Shield!!

Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!

He marched forward, the sand spikes shattering upon hitting the Golden Bell. The next moment, he was already in front of Seth, swinging his thunder hammer down.

Divine Defense shattered!

"Boss, I'm ready~ what do I do?"

At this moment, Kelly, covered in blooming flowers, was standing at the entrance of the tent, shouting.

"Do I even need to say it? Hit him! Use all your power and hit him!"

Ming formed a fist with his left hand and held the hammer in his right, launching a frenzy-like assault on Seth. Under his relentless attacks, Seth could not manipulate the sand and could only resort to physical combat.

"Uh! Alright!"

Kelly lifted both hands, shouting, "Godly Vines!"

Then, numerous sturdy vines as thick as arms sprang from between her arms, like an army charging toward Seth.

"She's so powerful!"

Bang!

The moment of distraction allowed Seth to land a punch on Ming's chest, -3000 Defense Value.

"Damn!"

Ming rubbed his chest, taking advantage of Seth's moment of retreat to offer a bowl and simultaneously hand over a prescription, asking Seth if he had any terminal illness. It's a triple pause!

Kelly's vines arrived, with hundreds of them surrounding Seth in the center, lashing down on him like whips!

Smack, smack, smack!!!

"Ahh!"

Seth raised his hands high, "Sandstorm!!"

Whoosh!!

A roaring wind howled.

Ming turned to look outside the temple gate, and a boundless rolling sand wave was rushing towards them. 

This was not good!

"Kelly, hold him down!"

Ming stepped forward and offered the bowl. At the same time, hundreds of vines, like snakes, entwined Seth.

"Everyone, lift him into the tent!!"

"Got it!!"

Everyone rushed up, Raoul and Frank included, lifting Seth, who was wrapped in the vines, and sprinting towards the tent.

"You guys actually..."

Seth's words were cut off.

Ming slapped him across the face before he could finish, continuing his mental attack, "Is a god also so disheveled? You're not a god at all, you're just a puppet being used by the rules!"

"Shut up!"

Seth roared, using all his strength to resist the vines, the vines breaking one after another.

"Boss, I can't hold on much longer!"

"You can do it, I believe in you!"

"Boss..."

Kelly bit through the bottles of spirit and physical strength potion, howling like a mad woman, "I'm going all out today! Ahhh!!!"

At this moment, all the flowers on her body bloomed, fresh vines appeared in endless succession, flowers wilted, and new flowers bloomed, withered, and bloomed again!

The next moment, Seth was thrown into the tent by everyone.

Kelly!"

Ming looked at the woman, noticing her somewhat pale face, "Can you continue?"

Kelly nodded, "Yes!"

"Everyone, hold this guy down!"

Ming leaped up and seized Seth's left arm. Frank and Raoul grabbed his right arm, and the rest firmly locked his legs. He then looked at Keli, "Whip him!!"

Kelly downed the spirit and physical strength potion and guided dozens of vines to stand erect. One after another, they lashed down, creating a ceaseless smacking sound.

"You!!"

Seth roared, "Sand Puppet!!"

[The tent effect is triggered, silencing the opponent.]

"…"

Inside the tent, the vine whips lashed.

Outside the tent, the wind and sand howled!

The Defense was broken!

"Kelly, that's enough!"

Ming looked at the woman, who mumbled 'I'm fine' before collapsing to the ground.

"Kill!"

Everyone swarmed Seth, their weapons striking his body.

Bang bang bang bang~~ Without the support of Kelly, the vines were broken one after another by Seth's mighty force!

Seth abruptly got up, "Let you see what the power of a god is!"

Whoosh!

He sent Angelo flying with one punch, breaking his defense and causing him to fall to the ground vomiting blood! Seth then shifted his shape, hurling a punch at Lavia, who immediately used water as a shield. The water shield was shattered by the tremendous force, and the punch hit him square in the chest, sending him flying!

Seth seemed to be in a territory with no one to stop him, causing chaos wherever he went, with people being thrown around!!

At this moment, the sandstorm outside the tent broke the temple's door. The raging wind and sand swept wildly inside the temple, buffeting the stone pillars, dome, and tent simultaneously. The defense value of the tent was being eroded!!

Ming had already unwrapped the bandage on his left hand!

He clenched his fist and then released it!

After several times!

"Hey!!"

Ming looked at Seth, stepped forward, and punched him in the stomach.

"…"

Seth hunched forward in pain, followed by another punch to his chin.

"Come! Fight me one-on-one!"

"Rush Fist!!"

A circle of light landed, Ming activated  [Fancy Footwork], his fist speed was like a storm, his strikes like thunder!! The absolutely powerful heavy fists, like the beating of celestial drums, all landed on Seth's face!!

Boom boom boom boom!!! The people around collapsed to the ground, enduring the intense pain in their bodies, watching the mad Ming, suppressing the 'god' with a mortal body.

"You see, this is our boss!"

"With such a boss, I am content!"

"This... he can even kill a god! What else can't he do?"

"!!"

Lavia, clutching his chest and spitting blood, watched as the boss broke Seth's left arm, shattered his right arm, fractured his left leg, and smashed his right leg to pieces. He hurriedly pulled out a small knife, "Bro, don't break it, I want to skin it alive!!"

Bang!

Ming's fist landed heavily, collapsing Seth's nose bridge. He looked up, his face covered in blood, and said, "Come on~ Hurry up~"

"Okay~"

Lavia crawled forward while enduring the intense pain, "Damn it, let's just kill it, I can't hold on any longer."

As soon as his words fell, he collapsed to the ground.

"…"

Ming shook his head, took out a syringe to draw blood, and gave Raoul a shot, followed by Frank, the chef, and Lopene.

[The puppets look at you... with nothing to say...]

[...]

"You want to kill God!?"

Seth coughed out a mouthful of blood, laughing wildly, "Sooner or later, you will die!"

"Yeah~ everyone will die, but as a mortal, before I die, I have to send God on his way first, you... rest in peace!"

Ming raised the thunder hammer high and slammed it down!

God Seth... is dead! The electricity dispersed from Seth's body to the ground, and along the water flow on the ground, it reached every corner of the tent.

"Fuck!"

"sh*t!"

"Boss, you actually woke me up with a shock! Damn it, I can't do it again~"

[Your foodie lands on the ground, looking at you, ming, come, I'm not afraid of electricity~ do it again~]

"Heh~"

Ming smiled and slumped to the ground, physically exhausted, unable to hold on any longer. Raoul, Frank, the chef, and Lopene immediately guarded their master, glaring coldly at their surroundings.

The next moment, Ming suddenly woke up, took a syringe to draw blood, and gave each of them a shot... Divine blood, a bit more...

[The puppets look at you... Turns out you're pretending!!]

[...]

Ming smiled, "When I get home, I'll show you a dance~"

[The puppets look at you... and retreat...]
