Chapter 138: Chapter 138: The Last Resort
Translator: 549690339
“Hm…escaped?”
Breaking open the [Exit] isn’t that easy.
The former Mutant Doctor consumed hundreds of defective aberrants to create a small crack in the [Exit], only big enough for one resident to pass through.
But Han Dong’s peculiar abilities were a cause for concern for the Clown.
It’s not the time to open the exit yet.
“I’ll deal with you later…I need to see what that kid is up to.”
The Clown injected himself with a serum which instantly unleashed a terrifying power…ignoring the constraints of the chains, he suppressed Togu, lifting him into mid-air with one hand.
“Haha, have a candy!”
A miniature balloon was stuffed into Togu’s mouth, one hand held Togu’s head while the other held his chin.
The balloon rapidly inflated in his mouth~
Pop!
An intense explosion from within.
Togu was forced to his knees, a hot ‘stone oil’ seeping from his eyes, his consciousness muddled, no longer able to maintain his actions.
Just as the Clown was about to imprison Togu with ‘toy house’.
Hum!
A wave of spatial fluctuation enveloped Togu’s body.
And right in front of the Clown, he disappeared.
“Space manipulation…where did the kid get this power?
Hehe…if I can figure out how to manipulate space, I can further accelerate the implementation of my ‘Great Plan’.”
The stranger the abilities Han Dong revealed, the more excited the Clown became, he didn’t care about the loss of Togu at all… As long as he can kill Han Dong, everything will be back on track.
“Let’s see where Nicholas has run off to.”
Two red balloons were pulled from the Clown’s pocket, tucked into his eye sockets…the inflated balloons instantly morphed into two round eyes.
At the same time, the Clown blew air around his body.
With this act, the locusts’ long legs severed by Han Dong, as well as the flesh torn by the chains, was restored.
It has to be said that compared to [Other Resident – Togu], although the Clown was slightly inferior in combat quality.
But Clown’s ‘Super Fast Regeneration’ ability, his bizarre tricks involving red balloons, and his exceptional ‘wisdom’, outperformed Togu.
That’s what made the Clown tough to handle.
If the Clown can’t be directly defeated by strength.
With the Clown’s resilience, Han Dong could only default to subtler tactics.
Skipping back to nine hours ago.
It was when the Clown was luring away Togu from the [Exit], and Han Dong was filling the gaps with red balloons.
Having successfully repelled the ‘black-haired resident’, Han Dong momentarily lingered near the [Exit].
No one knew what transpired during this period.
Because Han Dong was intrigued by something.
Why does destroying the [Exit] require so much manpower? Moreover, these aberrants might be defective, but they’re still stronger than humans.
Trading the lives of hundreds of aberrants for just a few minor cracks… why?
“These aberrants, were they attacked by the creatures lurking in the[Middle Layer]and died? No, that’s not it…”
Han Dong found a ‘complete’ mutant corpse and conducted a detailed examination.
He discovered blood oozing from all seven orifices. Upon touching the body… it was incredibly soft, as if there were no bones.
Out of curiosity, Han Dong performed an autopsy.
As soon as he cut it open, Han Dong was shocked by the ‘view’ inside!
“What!”
There wasn’t a single intact part inside the body; it looked as if it had suffered some indescribably internal injury.
Han Dong continued to examine other deceased, discovering that some with stronger constitutions, despite the support of their muscle or hair, had maintained their external completeness.
Internally, however, they were ‘ravaged’.
As for those with weaker constitutions, they disintegrated outright.
With this thought, Han Dong grabbed a relatively intact aberrant body and threw it at the repaired[Exit].
Just as the exit wall flashed a dim light,
Shhh! (Solid-Liquid Separation)
Han Dong got the outcome he wanted.
Upon contact with the exit wall, it met with a formidable energy blast.
Time rewinds.
The Joker stares in the direction of [Exit].
He sees Han Dong standing right in front of the Exit wall, looking a bit worse for wear.
Han Dong holds a hand to his chest, struggling to breath.
Even though that blow didn’t pierce the soft armor, it shattered three ribs in Han Dong’s body.
With his physical strength severely depleted, he had lost most of his combat abilities.
The Joker saunters toward him, urging him non-stop:
“What are you planning on doing? Not…not something stupid, I hope… Don’t touch the [Exit], I warn you! There are still many things I want to learn from you.”
But Han Dong glares at him defiantly.
The situation is dire… Han Dong is simply not in a state to continue fighting with the Joker.
Togu is also unconscious.
Without any decisive action, they will ultimately be caught by the Joker and subjected to a fate worse than death.
Han Dong speaks with a resigned look on his face:
“No matter what… we have to try!
If I can disrupt the Exit, countless residents of the other plane will swarm out, devouring both of us… Taking you down to hell with me, that wouldn’t be a bad deal.”
Upon hearing this, the Joker panics slightly.
“Damn it! That’s a terrible idea… Stop fooling around! There are many things on you that interest me.
I swear, I absolutely won’t torture you. If you behave, I might even consider letting you join our ‘Great Plan’.”
Despite his reassurances, the Joker doesn’t truly believe that Han Dong can destroy the exit, his greatest concern is that Han Dong will commit suicide when he has nowhere to go… At that point, the Joker would lose a substantial amount of information and may even lose Togu, a crucial insider.
Accelerating at full speed.
The sprinting Joker tries to prevent Han Dong’s suicidal act.
“Haha…”
Han Dong laughs crazily, his eyes devoid of any further attachment to the world.
Deploying his tentacles,
He touches the [Exit]!
Crack! (Sound of flesh and bone breaking)
This body of Han Dong’s, barely reaching the standard of a normal person’s, simply cannot withstand the impact… Limbs snap off.
Apart from the head, which lands on the spot, all the other body parts are blasted off in all directions.
This scene greatly disturbs the Joker.
It isn’t the visual disturbance, but the annoyance that Han Dong chooses to ‘commit suicide’ and end everything this way.
Sheep of a flock.
Despite his anger at Han Dong for disrupting his plans, the Joker actually admires him and feels it’s a rare thing to meet such an intelligent player.
In the end, Han Dong chose to conclude everything by ‘committing suicide’, leaving the Joker somewhat disappointed.
“Sigh… Well, let’s take your body back for research.
The Mutant Doctor might even be able to turn you into a Living Dead.”
The battle ends.
(As the current Fate Event has concluded (Togu has been contained), the Joker is not considered the event BOSS, he doesn’t receive any ‘Decrease in Survivor Count’ prompt)
The Joker’s terrifyingly robust muscles, deflate like a balloon, slowly reverting back to their original form.
Stepping forward lightly, he begins to collect Han Dong’s body parts.
He puts the arms, legs, and trunk into a bag, preparing to take them all back.
Approaching the [Exit].
Just as he was about to pick up Han Dong’s brain…
The Joker’s keen senses notice something strange about the [Exit] wall.
On the wall, besides being smeared with a lot of ‘oil’ due to the explosion, there is an inconspicuous ‘Oil’ Formation Method on it!
“Hm!”
The brain processes the data rapidly.
The Joker’s ferocity is unveiled as he steps on Han Dong’s brain.
Splat…
His foot goes through the floor and doesn’t hit anything solid.
Through the mycelium that has grown from his neck, the brain dodges in time.
Moreover, most importantly,
The brain is now stuck to the Formation on the [Exit] wall.
Formation activated!
