death gap

Chapter 4 Mask of God
The pale monster chased after it, spiraling up the ring-shaped building wall. The huge figure was not affected by gravity at all, and the only sound was the whine of the wind when it moved.

When it was still more than 20 meters away from Su Chen, it paused momentarily, and immersed its deformed and swollen face into the building wall as if facing the lake.

Because the hard wall does not form any obstacle to the monster, it is like a shadow.

"Let's die together. Since you leave me alone...even if I die, you can't live alone!"

"I can't just go on the road casually. Even if I die, I have to drag someone with me to be buried with me."

"Die together, let's die together... Hahahaha!"

In the cage-like room, the wealthy old man laughed nervously, his face turned green and white, and his tears and saliva flowed out from his laughter.

He didn't even notice that the space he was in was rapidly deforming.

The ceiling became a jagged roof of the mouth filled with countless sharp teeth, the floor was covered in swollen tongues filled with pustules... pale, bloated carrion flooded the walls.

It wasn't until the entire room was replaced by the stench of rotten mouth that he realized it and laughed.

"Don't come here, don't!"

"Don't eat me!"

"Don't just eat me..."

The old man raised his hands in fear and crossed them in front of him.

The next moment, the foul-smelling tongue on the floor rolled up, wrapped him up and sent him deep into the dark and deep throat.

After swallowing the old man, the pale monster withdrew its face from the wall, whipped up strong wind again, and continued to wind up chasing Su Chen's figure.

"It's getting closer!"

Su Chen, who was climbing hard, felt that the danger was getting closer and closer, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. At the same time, he glanced down subconsciously.

I saw towering building walls connected into a ring, presenting a bottomless cylindrical world.

Lying on the wall, I felt like I was climbing a mountain.

And in this cylindrical world, a terrifying monster that seemed to crawl out of a nightmare was quickly winding up the wall; as the monster approached, a pale and greasy color gradually filled the cylindrical shape. world.

With his fear reaching the extreme, Su Chen calmed down and continued climbing with all his strength.

"The way of martial arts lies in perseverance and perseverance."

"The highest principles of boxing are all learned from life and death fights."

"How many fighters who challenge the way to the strongest struggle until the last moment even though they know that the road ahead is death!"

He adjusted his breathing, tried to keep his breathing steady, and continued climbing regardless of everything.

The cold rain mixed with the strong wind hit his body, giving him a stinging sensation like needles, but the boy didn't notice it, as if there was a fire burning fiercely in his heart.

At this moment, Su Chen almost forgot that he was running for his life, imagining that he was climbing the peak of martial arts.

During the selfless climb, the monster silently approached behind Su Chen, opened its abyssal mouth, and stretched its neck to bite him.

But he didn't realize this at all. He looked straight at the height of the wall with no end in sight, gritted his teeth and continued climbing:
"Don't even think about it, you can't even think about eating me easily!"

During this process, the scene around Su Chen began to change.

The solid walls were quickly replaced by rotten flesh.A row of jagged and sharp teeth appeared in front of them, and quickly pressed against the wall. The sky shrank and bulged, and an unbearable smell floated around.

"I'm already in the monster's mouth!"

Su Chen realized this and was slightly distracted for a moment, but then continued to climb up.

Suddenly, two blue light traces intertwined into a V shape lit up between his eyebrows.

At the same time, a subtle but extremely clear voice sounded in my mind:
Increased calamity!
Increased calamity!
Increased calamity!
Meet activation conditions.

activation!
Mask of God - Courage!
With Su Chen as the center, the airflow within a radius of ten meters converged, forming a clear and transparent air shield.

Light bends forward through the thickened air medium, making the outside scenery appear slightly distorted.

A ripple-like rainbow halo floated on the outer wall of the gas mask, and the inside was slightly twisted like a liquid. From time to time, black electric light like thin snakes flickered past.

Amidst the noise of the arc splashing, his eyes flashed like broken gold, and bright silver carvings intertwined into circuits appeared on his body.

Every strand of hair bursts out with silver light from the inside out, burning like a flame.

At the same time, irregular white-gold fragments appeared on Su Chen's face.

These fragments were quickly joined together, eventually forming a gorgeous white-gold mask in the shape of a kite shield and an inverted triangle. The eye holes were V-shaped, and the left and right corners became sharper as they went up, and finally the horns generally went over the top of the head.

At this moment, the thunder light in the unknown space dimmed several times, as if the light of the entire world had gathered on Su Chen.

One second, he was still a handsome young man, and the next second, his body had swelled and deformed in the concentrated silver light.

As mist-like golden flames ignited from his shoulders, Su Chen's muscles and bones all over his body swelled, and his height suddenly rose to two meters upward.

The entire body was transformed into a molten golden metallic texture due to the terrifying expansion, and there was no trace of flesh and blood anymore.

In the depths of the flames and light, metal vibrated like mechanical assembly. The armor parts quickly spread along his body surface, covering his whole body and turning into a set of golden armor full of iron-blooded atmosphere. .

The shoulder straps on both sides are in the shape of an angle and are covered with thorns and spikes. The outline of the breastplate is close to a shortened bird's beak - the exquisite carvings on the surface converge towards the chest, forming a structure similar to that of a sun wheel.

Below is a skirt armor made of long strips of carapace. The legs are also covered in armor protection. The feet, calves, and thighs have streamlined armor with no gaps. Only the joints are connected by armor pieces. .

Finally, the horns extending diagonally above the visor are combined with the blade-shaped crest behind the helmet to form a murderous crown.

……

In the unknown mysterious space, strong winds raged and heavy rain hit.

The pale monster lay on the wall of the building like a gecko, its ugly and huge head stretched forward, and its neck was stretched extremely thin, like a string tied to a balloon.

It closed its huge mouth soundlessly.

However, at this moment, golden fire suddenly seeped out from the gaps between the monster's teeth.

boom--!
The next moment, the monster's entire head exploded, bursting into a ball of hot and dazzling golden fire. The strong light directly illuminated the entire ring-shaped building.

Light poured into all the rooms, illuminating the faces of several humans and also reflecting many strange figures.

After the explosion, the fire spread into a oscillating shock wave, which violently shattered the black rain curtain, forming a rapidly expanding spherical outline, causing the rain to stagnate in a very short time.
