Chapter 193: Thorso’s Persistence

After more than forty minutes of intense confrontation with thirteen men of the same rank, Thorso, who was standing at the prison gates and was like a mountain in front of them, eventually let something slip.

Instantly, several figures who had been hiding in the dark attacked at the same time.

They had waited so long for this moment… They knew very well that the prison gates would not open as long as Thorso still stood there. Killing Thorso was the simplest way to escape this cage in which they had been imprisoned in for hundreds or even thousands of years.

A gray figure darted out as fast as Breid and appeared out of nowhere behind Thorso. By the time Thorso managed to react, it was already too late. A sharp thorn penetrated the left side of his chest without the slightest hindrance. It went through his heart and out of his body. Seeing that his chest had been pierced by a thorn that was maroon in color, Thorso knew that the one behind him was Abyss’ Ghostwalker.

At the same time, a huge figure appeared in front of Thorso and reached for his belly with one hand. Under the shock of his palm’s Righteous Force, the person easily broke through Thorso’s defense. The palm penetrated Thorso’s abdominal muscles as well as internal organs directly and continued going deeper until his big hand had pierced through Thorso’s back. However, that was not the end… He savagely grinned at Thorso as he clenched Thorso’s vertebra with the palm of his hand. After doing so, he yanked his hand away from Thorso’s body, and out came a piece of Thorso’s vertebrae. The gruesome technique was the Dark Sectors’ Tulu’s favorite killing method.

Nevertheless, strangely enough, even with his spine broken, Thorso still stood proudly like a giant tower that would not fall. Although parts of his intestines had slipped out from the hole in his abdomen Tulu’s had created, and scarlet blood ran all over the floor, Thorso still stood tall. He could be seen holding the chain in his hand while the prison gates remained locked.

Gu Ding could not bear to watch the video anymore.

Thorso spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Tulu coldly. “None of you will be able to leave this prison unless I die.”

“How can that guy say such a thing with that kind of confidence after getting hit by an attack like that?” The crowd looked with suspicion at Thorso who was still standing in place, as well as the gates that remained locked. There was no logical explanation for Thorso to be able to survive such an attack. Not to mention, to be able to stand up despite the absence of his spine which completely broke the laws of physiology. Nevertheless, it was happening in front of everyone’s eyes.

“How strange…” Even Neptune was surprised. “My analysis showed that after the last two attacks, his heart stopped beating. Besides that, his cellular and brain activity had begun to decrease rapidly. They’re signs of death. How can he still talk like it was nothing?”

Before Neptune could understand it, Tulu struck again. This time, he went for Thorso’s head with his big hand because he suspected that Thorso had a special ability similar to immortality. Chopping off a person’s head was generally the best way to deal with such abilities.

Hence, Tulu sprung to his feet. However, just as his large hand was about to land on Thorso’s head, several dark figures appeared without warning and rapidly moved up his palm. In less than a hundredth of a second, Tulu’s entire arm was covered.

Tulu activated his Righteous Force, hoping to break free of the shackles on his arm but was unsuccessful.

Ghostwalker who saw this seemed to realize something. He was now the closest to Thorso. Hence, he immediately retreated out of sight. However, at almost the same time, several dark figures appeared from thin air and wrapped around his right foot like spiritual snakes…

Tulu and Ghostwalker’s struggles were futile. In less than three seconds, they were both completely wrapped in chains. Two seconds passed and the two were completely silent.

“How strong!” Gu Ding had not expected such a sudden turn of events. He had thought that Thorso was dead for sure, but the latter became at least a notch stronger. Thorso was on par with Tulu and Breid, but he managed to instantly kill Tulu and Ghostwalker; it was unbelievable.

Neptune did not give any comments. He seemed unsure of what had happened to Thorso.

Inside the prison, the black chains that had wrapped themselves around Tulu and Ghostwalker finally broke into pieces of their own accord and dispersed into thin air. As a result, the two people fell to the ground. Although there were no injuries on their bodies, it looked like they had passed out and their breathing was very faint.

Breid lost his nerve. Thorso’s current combat effectiveness was incomparable to before. If he was so sure that he had exhausted Thorso before, then there was no certainty that he would be able to escape the prison now.

Thorso did not move, but that did not he did not have any ideas. Once again, the black chain moved. This time, countless chains solidified and soon merged to form a black python. The python, as if it could see where Breid was, launched itself at him before it had fully solidified. It had its mouth wide open as it lunged at Breid.

Breid immediately tried to dodge it. He saw what had happened to Tulu and Ghostwalker–they were only entangled for a few seconds before they were locked down. Once he was caught by the chain, he would not have a chance to turn things around. Thorso’s attacks were significantly more violent than his previous ones, and Breid was not prepared to fight back when Thorso was at his strongest.

Nevertheless, Breid’s men were not so lucky. Only two of them managed to escape the python’s attack in time, while the rest were swallowed up. Breid did not know what would happen if he got caught, but he did not want to know because he knew it was not going to be good.

Moments later, the python spat out the men, and it could be seen that they were in a similar state to Tulu and Ghostwalker– they lied motionless on the ground, and their breathing was imperceptible.

The python continued its pursuit to catch Breid, and at last, its body managed to fully solidify itself. The fully solidified black python was dozens of meters long and had a diameter of more than a metre. It uncontrollably slid through everywhere in the prison, chasing after Breid. Nevertheless, Thorso remained where he was at the gate–not moving even the slightest bit.

The others saw it as a good opportunity to attack him because it definitely took him a lot of energy and strength to control the python to pursue Breid. Hence, it was possible that Thorso was defenseless.

A Rank-13 Gene Body initiated the first attack. He had been hiding in the dark for a long time. It was just that he was not as fast as Tulu or Ghostwalker and did not manage to grasp the opportunity to strike earlier.

He leaped and appeared beside Thorso. However, he felt his feet become heavy before he could reach Thorso. Unconsciously, he looked down and saw that his legs had unknowingly been wrapped around by chains. Seconds later, he was completely wrapped by black chains.

Meanwhile, Breid had been cornered in a dead-end of the prison. The black python had already killed his remaining two men and swallowed up everyone it had met while chasing him. It was like a monster that never had enough to eat, powerful and terrifying.

In the video projection, Breid could be seen struggling before he was swallowed by the black python. Gu Ding was completely stunned as he witnessed what happened. He could not understand how Thorso had become so strong out of nowhere. After all, he had examined the prison bully, Breid’s information. Although he was only a Rank-13 Gene Body, he had been able to fight a demi-powerhouse when he was only Rank-12. Now that he was a Peak Rank-13, his combat effectiveness should only be higher than before. Nevertheless, he was unexpectedly killed by Thorso with one move. Gu Ding even began to wonder if Thorso had promoted to demigod level, but the surveillance footage showed no signs of his wounds healing which disproved that theory. After all, reaching demigod level was beyond humankind. A man could suffer many mortal wounds, but they were nothing to a demigod. Moreover, a demigod’s cell strength was hundreds-fold greater than that of a Rank-13. Their resilience was nothing a Rank-13 Gene Body could compare to.

At the prison gates, another Rank-13 was easily killed by Thorso. It made the others who were hiding in the dark more afraid of Thorso, and they dared not take any more rash action.

In less than two minutes, the people who had been wrapped in black chains were released. Without exception, they were in the same state as Tu Lu and the others–passed out and faintly breathing.

After spitting out Breid and the others, the black python suddenly split into countless little black snakes, each of which seemed to have its own consciousness as they darted in every direction of the prison, taking over all the passageways in an instant.

“Is he trying to kill everyone in the prison with that move?” Gu Ding asked. He had witnessed the scene and a glazed expression was on his face. He thought that people who could come up with such ideas were extremely imaginative and had a surprising amount of courage. Killing more than eighty-eight thousand people alone was far beyond the ability of a human. “That’s the kind of thing I always thought only deities could do… I wasn’t expecting him to do this at all but why doesn’t he heal himself now that no one is attacking? Even with an ability like immortality, isn’t it dangerous to lose so much blood?”

“It’s no use, this Thorso is no longer the Thorso you once knew,” Neptune suddenly said, his statement was somewhat difficult for one to understand. Nevertheless, he quickly followed up with an explanation. “The real Thorso is dead, my detection results just revealed that all his cells have stopped working, even his brain activity has come to a stop-his brain waves have no response at all.”
