Chapter 512 Life is both stinky and beautiful
When Mingnu originally assigned all the "heroes" to the Infinite City...she assigned everyone to areas that matched their "traits".

Li Nuo is a man who lives on the edge of a knife and always faces danger, so he went directly into the central area and faced Du Juan's interception.

Maljie and Nanami had a lot of things going on between them, so they got together.

Luo Lei and Johannesson are closest to each other and are also together.

Victor usually hangs out with mechanical life forms. Since he has military attributes, he squeezes together with dozens of interstellar hunters.

Karaka is a succubus who likes men, so she was squeezed in among dozens of men including Victor.

Because Jellal and Cassim were too dangerous and mysterious, they were moved to the edge of Infinite City and separated.

butterfly……

She is a killer.

Always hiding in secret corners.

So she teleported to the most secret place in Infinite City, inside the king's body.

Then... Malger took away the king's "protagonist halo", which gave Die the opportunity to use the [Eternal Spirit Sword] to hurt the king's internal body, and then he came out...

Now, the people watching in Basel also understood the situation.

"It turned out to be a funny cartoon..."

"How could Nanami be the heroine of a comedy comic?"

"Stupid* author!"

The audience is cursing.

Curse the protagonist who had just accepted it but had to face such a weird development.

Scolding the villain turned out to be so funny.

Curse their heroine for living in such an absurd world.

But the more they curse, the happier the author is.

Everyone was having fun, and the bizarre development actually made Li Nuo's story more popular.

【Current popularity 15%】

Everyone in Li Nuo was dumbfounded.

He could only sigh: "Sometimes one's fate is really unpredictable..."

The staff nodded: "Yes."

For example, he hit himself to death while picking up instant noodles.

……

Butterfly was pulled out by the king.

She looked at the angry king, and the killer girl showed fear.

"I...wait...I am here."

"you……"

The king's teeth gradually became sharper as they clenched together, making a grinding sound like the sharp teeth of a wild beast.

When it was trying to crush the butterfly to death, Cha Bai quickly activated the [Portal], but Wang's eyes affected its direction with the explosion of methane.

At the critical moment, Maljie used the grid function of his white coat to collect the butterfly.

Eyes facing each other.

The relationship between the two protagonists seems to be reversed.

Malger was not hurt by the king's next attack because Cha Bai's [portal] accidentally opened in front of Malger, helping him transfer the king's explosion to the subspace.

This is the "protagonist halo".

But the king was on the verge of complete collapse.

Everything it had worked so hard to build was destroyed at the last moment by an insignificant girl.

This reminds it of Shao Hong.

The appearance of that woman caused it to give birth prematurely, otherwise its strength would not have been so weak.

"I was ruined by a bunch of nobody..."

Wang looked at his hands, his eyes moved.

"The world is surprisingly vast..."

It calms myself down.

He lowered his eyebrows and fell into calm.

Ten or so meters away.

Die came out from Maljie's coat: "Brother Ma!"

"It's okay." Malger comforted: "What did you see inside it?"

Die said anxiously, "It's very dark, and there are a lot of people's voices lingering in my ears!"

"understood."

Maljie stared at the wound on Wang's body caused by the kitchen knife. It was dark with faint red spots.

soul!

The souls of the people of Minas City are there!
Maljie gritted his teeth and then shouted, "Miss Chabai!"

"Ah, I understand!" Cha Bai wanted to cooperate with him to open Wang's body.

"I'll come too!" Xiao Wu pulled the bowstring, preparing to use [You've Already Got a Way to Die] and Cha Bai's [Iron Man-Made Cannon] to give Wang a critical hit.

But at this moment, a strange energy burst out from Wang's body, and Chabai could only choose to move Maljie and Die to a farther place again.

The souls of several guards were forcibly confiscated by the king.

It had originally thought that when it encountered the most dangerous moment, it would use this power to reverse the situation and win the last moment of the protagonist.

If the butterfly hadn't appeared, it might indeed have turned the situation around.

Everything is too late.

It's all over.

The king raised his arms.

"Since the protagonist's path cannot be followed, I will accompany you to finish the last scene of the story. As the evil god, I will give you, a group of brave men, a great gift."

It looks at the sky.

"And you, Destiny."

The ant king in the previous life was destroyed by human malice in "Hunter x Hunter".

As the ant king in this life, he is held tightly by fate in the "Infinite City" and cannot get close to anyone.

Its power expanded almost infinitely, and a huge shield covered its entire body, forming a translucent insect egg.

A crack opened up in the sky.

[Danger level: S (still increasing)]

The king's body was collapsing; it could not withstand the force of the sudden acceleration.

It's just like at work, if you try to ask someone to finish a week's work in just one hour, their spirit and brain will collapse.

It condenses countless souls within its body and raises its own souls to the sky.

The black cloud opened a door that only it could see.

Wang saw a pair of eyes with silver pupils behind the door.

Li Nuo stood up from his seat, and the king rebelled and came to him.

It crawled out of the frame, and the images disrupted by it seemed to have turned into a black line binding it, binding its struggle.

Reaching out to fate in the form of a paper man.

The king gritted his teeth unwillingly, and reached out to fate in the form of a paper man.

His eyes were filled with resentment towards the person who wrote the poem and a refusal to surrender.

Li Nuo slowly held its head down.

There was only cold pity in the silver eyes on the author's face.

"When you decide to step on other people's lives to complete your own milestone of challenging fate, you lose."

Li Nuo had really killed fate and higher-dimensional life before. He understood better than anyone how to break the impasse, but Wang didn't understand.

"Go back to where you came from."

Li Nuo activated the [Seal of Arden], and in an instant a purple light swept across the entire studio. The king's body materialized and was forcefully pressed back into the story by Li Nuo.

The king's soul returned to the "Infinite City".

When it fell from the sky, there was deathly silence all around it, and it wandered like a baby just out of swaddling clothes.

Bet everything and lose everything.

It hoped to challenge fate, but was ultimately pushed back by fate.

"what--!"

The soul returns.

The king let out an unprecedented roar!
Jellal's eyes widened at this moment, fear spreading throughout his body. He was smiling, but the corners of his mouth were shaking uncontrollably: "Damn... this thing is too strong..."

Xiao Wu nodded calmly: "Well, the blackened one is 70% stronger, which is reasonable. Killing it will make a lot of money..."

"What are you thinking? This bastard won't live long. If he explodes, we'll be in trouble!" Jellal grabbed Xiao Wu's clothes and said, "Sister Chabai! Teleport us away!"

"Okay." Cha Bai immediately activated the [Portal] and pulled away the irrelevant people.

At the same time, a strange light burst out from Wang's eyes. It was impossible to distinguish the colors in the black and white world, but the light was dangerously deep.

With itself as the center, a huge shock wave spread out and swept across the entire city.

Those citizens who were protected in advance by Maljie and Li Nuo are all in the underground area. Nanami and the gorilla princess are with them. Everyone is safe for the time being.

Lilolilo and Cardboard Ram climbed out of the cave. The strong wind almost blew off Cardboard Ram's head, but Lilolilo held on to it tightly.

Ominousness, destruction, doom, and a terrifying atmosphere almost swept the entire world.

Lilolilo's mother, who was far away overseas, looked anxiously in the direction of Minas City, her eyes full of worry for her child.

Above the sky, the Gorilla Enterprise's spacecraft detected an explosive aura coming from the planet and pointed its guns at the city of Minas.

Chaos descended.

In the terrifying atmosphere, only the tombstone erected by Johannesson for Shao Hong was waiting quietly.

"call……"

The king opened his eyes and only Maljie was still there.

"Are you still there?"

"Under the influence of the protagonist's halo, I was inexplicably teleported back." Maljie took a deep breath. Cha Bai's [Portal] was affected, causing him to be teleported back to the king.

Wang said: "Sometimes, even the aura of a protagonist cannot resist all misfortunes."

"Hmph... How do you know if you don't try?" Maljie raised the corner of his mouth: "For this last scene, please cooperate with me to make it an interesting ending."

The king was silent, then slowly smiled: "Come!"

It opened its five fingers, and magic elements and marsh gas condensed together, and dark light waves rolled the air and rushed towards Maljie.

Li Nuo, who was paying attention to the direction of the comic, finally picked up the dip pen.

He wrote down the ability on a piece of paper and gave it to Malger for temporary use.

【Pixel Slash】!
The fireworks from the light wave explosion extinguished themselves on Malger's body.

Maljie's figure was infinitely repaired in pixelation in the air explosion.

The king just stood there, the force of its expansion causing cracks to appear on his skin like an aging wall.

Positive and negative, light and shadow, it seems that it no longer matters at this moment.

Robot Picasso helped the leader at the last moment. It emerged from the ground with its remaining body and shouted in a distorted voice: "For, leader..."

boom!
The king shattered it with a wave of his hand.

The small mechanical life form that jumped out tried to self-destruct in front of the king, but was taken into Malger's coat.

“No more deaths.”

In the square, all the spectators stayed for the fun, but they were watching Maljie's meaningless last struggle.

As Li Nuo said, this is a male protagonist who has been walking on thin ice for half his life but remains tenacious and indestructible.

[Pixel Slash: Blade of Destruction]

The new moves that Uncle Cairo taught Li Nuo were used by Maljie.

He clumsily used his right arm as bait, and the moment the king took off his arm, he held a [piece of shit] in his left hand, and the methane turned into pixelated spots, piercing the king's chest with the [Blade of Destruction].

“So that’s how it is…” Wang lowered his head, looked at Malger’s hand that had pierced his body, and smiled: “You saw the souls in my body, do you want to free them?”

"Hey, I'm a doctor."

【Current popularity 18%】

"The protagonist's halo will lose its effect at the last moment." Wang's forehead veins popped out, and he said with a smile: "Because some protagonists will die at the end of the story."

Maljie's hand was sucked into the king's body and he couldn't escape.

[Rescuer: Resist three fatal attacks (all consumed)]

The pixel repair is being absorbed by the king. This guy has the ability to repair pixels, and uses Malger's [Pixel Slash] experience card ability to repair his body.

The pixel spots suddenly appeared vividly and shone on Maljie's face.

【Current popularity 19%】

Wang: "The Chimera Ant's last ability... Devour. If I fail, you will die with me."

Malger: "Who told you I could survive?"

king:"!?"

Suddenly, Wang felt something strange flowing through his body.

At this moment, Maljie crushed the [piece of shit] in his hand.

[Rescuer: Crush the methane particles spread by the "shit block" to slowly restore the health of creatures other than yourself, about 0.5% per second]

"you……"

"Do you think there is no way to save the soul?"

Malger grew out his left arm and quickly pulled out a [YoRHa Tactical Sword] from his coat, cutting off the right arm that was imprisoned by the king.

Driven by inertia, he retreated hastily, and his right arm regenerated, while the right arm that was stuck in Wang's body disappeared, and Wang's shattered chest was exposed to the air.

"Ha..." The king widened his eyes. He didn't dare to imagine it but could only believe it.

A large number of souls poured out of the king's body. They were given the property of "recovery" by the [Shit Block] of the [Savior], so they rose into the sky and searched for their own bodies.

In the black and white world, white light is gathering in the sky.

These souls broke through the dark clouds, accompanied by the stars lighting up the sky, and fell to the earth like a meteor rain.

The light shines on every face.

In an instant, the king's fear disappeared.

The king stood there, looking up at the sky, his eyes clear: "In the end, the brave man defeated the evil god... What a clichéd story."

Maljie: "Actually, I am also an evil god."

Wang: "Is that so... So I am the hero..."

The ant king relies on the souls brought by the Charmer to become powerful. When all these souls leave it, its body can no longer bear the burden.

Maljie lit a cigarette, raised his head, looked at the souls in the sky that were still looking for their bodies, and showed a relaxed look for the first time in a long time.

“Isn’t life beautiful?”

But because of the [shit blocks], the light spots cast by the soul had a bit of a stink, and gradually turned into stinking rain containing methane that fell in every corner of the city.

So life actually stinks.

Cha Bai opened a portal and pulled Die over with him.

She took out the hammer, which turned into an umbrella and covered Maljer's head.

"Miss Chabai, you just placed me beside the king sincerely, right?"

Cha Bai blinked those huge, damn beautiful eyes.

"Otherwise, guess how Li Nuo will send you here to fight that guy in a one-on-one duel?"

Malger: "Maybe they'll use a dump truck to hit me..."

Cha Bai asked, "How did you guess that this method could be used to send the soul back?"

Maljie said: "First, those who fainted are not dead, which means that part of their souls are in their bodies. Secondly, the king used the power of the soul to strengthen himself, which means that the soul is still active. Finally, the treatment method of [Shit Block] means that the soul is being healed. As souls, they will look for their original bodies. Finally..."

Maljie took a deep breath and said, "There is no reason in the Cairo world."

Die translated: "What Ma Ge meant was that he was also just guessing."

Maljie agreed. He thought that even if his method failed, Li Nuo would have a way. In fact, Li Nuo had no way. He just simply believed that Maljie could do it.

Just like Lilo Lilo and Cardboard Ram, as long as the partners trust each other, there is no need to delve into each other's plans.

Butterfly said, "It's this rain, it smells a bit bad."

Cha Baiqian smiled and said, "Who told you that Brother Ma is the hero of a comedy comic?"

"By the way, Miss Chabai, what are you doing here?" Maljie pointed at Die and said, "Although I know you brought her here so that we don't appear in the same frame in the comics."

"I found out something." Chabai wanted to give the umbrella to Maljie.

Maljie did not take the umbrella: "Then wait a little longer. I'll ask you to kill the king later..."

Cha Bai looked at the king who had withered into a stone statue and stood there, doubts welling up in his brows.

"what?"

"Well, wait a minute..."

Malj is waiting.

……

There are some things that you have been waiting for to come back, but in fact they have already died in secret. But sometimes, they will come back in an unexpected way.

For example, life.

The first person to wake up from the coma was a girl.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of souls found their home and returned to their bodies.

The gorilla princess was standing by and when she saw her "subjects" waking up, she burst into tears.

Nanami pulled the stick out of a monster's body, turned to look at the princess in the distance, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll just say that the doctor is fine."

Then... everyone who woke up started vomiting crazily.

"It stinks!"

“I feel like eating shit!”

“Ah! Help!”

"Just kill me!"

If someone who doesn't know the situation comes across this, they would think that there are horrible human experiments going on here...

Nanami watched and suddenly laughed: "Haha, hahahahahaha!"

……

[The people of Menas City have been saved]

【Rescuer Promotion】

Maljie received the reminder, but he was not in a hurry to see the results of the promotion.

Instead, he turned and looked at Cha Bai.

"Help me collect the body."

Maljie clasped his hands together and a huge cross appeared behind him.

[Rescuer: Exchange your life for the rebirth opportunity of those who believe in the second life. You can revive up to two players at a time. If the resurrected person does not complete the script, you will die permanently.]

Life goes round and round.

Cassim opened his eyes.

He touched his neck and said in surprise: "I am really alive! Captain Ma is awesome!"

Maljie was already kneeling on the ground, silent.

[Player 5899 has died]

Cha Bai nailed the umbrella to the ground to shield him from the stinking rain falling from the sky.

"Die, keep an eye on him."

"Yeah, okay." Die nodded: "Sister Cha...what are you going to do?"

"Let's end this." Cha Bai took out the [Encyclopedia of Dark Magic] and pulled out a [Magic Gatling Gun] that he usually didn't use.

Then she swung the Gatling gun and smashed Wang's dried body into pieces.

Die especially wanted to complain: You treat everything as a hammer, right?

[Main quest completed: Kill the King]

【Will be back in fifteen minutes】

Chabai found a strange parasite in Wang's body.

It looks like a worm, but has a demonic face.

[Hidden BOSS location code] shows that this bug is most likely the hidden BOSS.

As for why it looked like this... Cha Bai's imagination was limited, so he stuffed the bug into the [Encyclopedia of Dark Magic] and planned to give it to Li Nuo when he returned.

Actually...

When Li Nuo first arrived in Minas City, he received a special message, which roughly said that the creature that Dante had chased in the other world was in Minas City.

That creature is this bug.

At this moment, Cha Bai discovered that there was a huge shadow pressing down on the sky.

She looked up.

The army of Gorilla Corporation landed over the city in a giant spaceship that was as big as half the size of Minas City.

……

The story should end here.

Li Nuo still didn't move.

The staff member asked, "Are you waiting for us to call you a taxi to take you home?"

Li Nuo: "It's not over yet."

"But... your main quest has already ended." The staff member asked curiously, "You don't want to use your current abilities to greatly strengthen your teammates... Let me remind you... this is impossible. Although you are the creator, the framework still exists. You can't jump out of the framework to do other things, such as suddenly strengthening a guy who shouldn't be strengthened, or killing a particularly powerful guy."

"What if he's not particularly powerful?" Li Nuo asked.

"Not as good as yours...it's likely to work." The staff didn't know what was going to happen.

[Personal main mission: Cartoonist]

[When the popularity exceeds 20%, you can switch to the comic world screen]

Li Nuo drew a picture frame on a piece of white paper and wrote on it: At the same time, the apes who were spying on "Miens City"...

The audience thought the story was over, but a new chapter suddenly opened here.

The scene came to the spaceship.

The apes sat together and discussed the matter of the chimera ants.

"That guy is dead."

The gorillas in the working group reported back the news.

The death of the ant king was captured on camera.

A sturdy chimpanzee sat on the sofa, holding a chocolate popsicle in his mouth and sucking out the smoke from it.

"I was so scared just now. The power of the Chimera Ant King was so strong that it could overturn the spaceship."

A white-haired gorilla opposite it said: "It will be easy from now on."

A chimpanzee across the street said, "Yeah, as long as we catch the person who knows the answer, and then disperse the city, and then build a large amusement park, hehe... just think about it and you can make a fortune."

Gorilla Enterprise once used this method to force Mr. Cairo to almost lose his family.

And now, this group of guys have set their sights on the entire city, blaming the conflicts in the problem on the "Cairo Ramen Shop" and those troublesome "players", using the storm of public opinion to divert attention, and by the time everyone understands, the entire city has become their cash cow.

The sturdy chimpanzee picked up the phone, and the banana-shaped phone was connected to the company headquarters.

The scene changes.

Gorilla Enterprises, Star's president and the princess's father, answered the phone.

"Find the ant king's body. Its genes can be used to make weapons."

"Also, don't forget about the energy gem."

Li Nuo looked at this scene, took out marbles from his pocket, and flicked the so-called "energy gems" to the staff.

"Your reward."

"That's it?" The staff member was unhappy: "Who wants this?"

Li Nuo smiled, looked at the gorillas in the painting, and said, "They want it."

As he spoke, he unscrewed the cap of the white ink, picked up the brush and dotted a little in the ink.

The brush strokes across the last few pages of the picture frame.

The spaceship above the city of Menas disappeared.

The gorilla president disappears.

The third party force, Gorilla Enterprise, disappeared completely.

Li Nuo threw the brush into the thermos.

The Warrior of Light mission is over.

The comic ends.
