Yes, Madam Prime Minister

Page 315

Dinia held the warhammer in her left hand, while her right forearm and palm were like burnt-out charcoal, only gray and white, with the skin constantly drifting away in the wind and turning into ashes.

The same applies to the right side of the waist, the outer side of the right thigh, the right calf, and the right half of the face.

This burning-out effect is Hina's strongest power, using the opponent's soul as a ignition point. Although it does not harm the demonic body, no matter how many times they are reborn, they cannot get rid of it.

Dinia was able to suppress "burnout" only by using the regular power of "Rebirth Power" at full power. Her own body's super-fast regeneration could not suppress this power, and she could only be burned to ashes and reborn again and again. The magic power consumed would be several orders of magnitude higher than it is now.

Even so, Dinia's body is now half-crippled, with her entire right hand, half of her right leg, and one right eye ruined.

However, as the spellcaster Xinash's life gradually came to an end, her body was slowly repairing itself.

A hundred meters away from Dinia, Shinash, who was in a state of fusion with the summoned spirit, was originally a strange monk with no pupils, only the whites of his eyes, a bald head, a height of over two meters, a thin body, and bronze skin covered with scriptures.

Now, his appearance can only be described as terrifying. His body and limbs are covered with dozens of decaying holes of all sizes. The edges of the holes look like dried flesh that is about to completely decompose. No blood has flowed, and you can see the bones through the holes. The hole on his chest is so big that you can see the beating heart inside his chest cavity.

The body was covered in hundreds of wounds, like the cracks in a dried-up riverbed.

Shinash is now like a decaying, mummy riddled with holes, as if a gust of wind would turn him to dust.

But, he is still alive.

Little Nigan knelt on both knees, his hands bracing against the snow, his spear embedded in the ground, hot, wet blood splattering onto the snow. He was furious and bewildered. He simply couldn't understand why Dinia and Ronan suddenly wanted to attack, and no matter how he explained, begged, surrendered, promised, or questioned, Dinia didn't answer him at all, only responding with even more ferocious and violent attacks.

Dinia and Ronan certainly wouldn't let him go.

Dinia is a man of principle. If someone wants to kill him, he will absolutely kill them unless there are special circumstances. And if someone he has already killed, he will not let them go. Should he leave them alive to wait for their revenge in the future?

Unfortunately, Xiao Nigan had the idea of ​​killing her, not under special circumstances, and he was already being hunted down by her.

As for Ronan, his idea can be summed up in one sentence: nip it in the bud.

“You’re incredibly strong, but it’s time to end this.” Dinia said, gripping the hammer tightly in her left hand, preparing for the final assault.

If she hadn't reached the seventh rank, and if she hadn't inherited Lavini's legacy, she would already be locked in a fierce battle, needing to consider temporarily disengaging and then using a more mage-like sorcerer to kill her target.

Unfortunately, no if.

“Strong? This is a power that leads people to their deaths.” Shinash sighed. Once his power was activated, he himself would die, irreversibly. Yet even this power, which cost him his life, only weakened Dinia, and only to a very limited extent.

Reflecting on life, Shinash looked at Little Nigan and said, "It's coming. Get ready. This is our last chance."

They can't win, but if they can cripple Dinia, they can escape.

As long as he escapes, he still has hope. He is constantly heading towards death, but he still has the ability to reincarnate. The reason he kept that woman was to use her as a vessel. However, even if she escapes now, he can only find another one.

"An opportunity?" Little Nigan was somewhat skeptical.

Hinash knew that no amount of explanation would help now, so he could only say, "She was determined to kill us. If she didn't make a last-ditch effort, was she just waiting to die? There was a reason why she brought you here."

This snow valley looks like a place where no one has ever been before. In fact, there used to be a temple and many cultivators. It was the place where he achieved the seventh level. But now the temple and the people no longer exist.

Chapter 728 A Last Glimmer of Light: You're Not Worthy, Let Me Do It

The battle resumed, but the combined Rodi, Shinash, and Little Nigan were nowhere to be seen, neither in the sky nor on the ground.

All that could be seen was the continuous collapse of thick snow, pouring endlessly into the valley and sweeping everything within it. The hard glaciers were constantly cracking and falling to the ground, exploding into countless pieces of ice.

In that life-or-death moment, the impact of the battle between the two sides, fought without holding back, was already akin to an apocalyptic catastrophe.

At this moment, Shinash was like a withered tree coming back to life. His previously dry, necrotic, and riddled-with-holes body not only recovered but also regained its vitality. Moreover, he became stronger and stronger in battle.

This is because he turned the thousand monks into the living dead and buried them along with the temple under the snow. At this moment, he is empowered by the evil will.

The power of his vow was composed of the spiritual and magical power of a thousand monks. The magical power rapidly restored his depleted life force and magic power, even temporarily surpassing his peak. Meanwhile, the spiritual power, like a thousand monks continuously chanting sutras in his ears, constantly interfered with and invaded Dinia and Ronan's consciousness, making it impossible for them to concentrate.

With just a moment of distraction, Dinya was pinned against the iceberg wall by Shinash's single-handed grip on her neck. Shinash flew at supersonic speed, and Dinya instantly began to slide violently along the iceberg wall. In an instant, ice chunks and rocks flew everywhere as she slid, and Dinya was pressed deeper and deeper. In the blink of an eye, a huge scratch, hundreds of meters long, wide and deep, was carved into the massive iceberg.

Just as Shinash stopped, preparing to receive the next blow, Dinya delivered a powerful, cannon-hammer-like kick, sending Shinash flying like a cannonball. Then, Dinya, with her body perpendicular to the mountain wall, bent and pushed off, propelling herself into the air towards Shinash.

The moment she flew out, the mountain wall, which already had a huge scratch, was subjected to a tremendous force and began to crack and collapse.

The next instant, Dinia was already above Shinash's body, gripping the warhammer with both hands, yelling, "Aaaaaah, die!"

The last time he roared like that in battle was more than thirty years ago, when Dinia went to the battlefield for the first and last time.

With a single blow, Dinia slammed Shinash into the valley floor, which was already covered by snow from the avalanche. Dinia then dashed to the ground and slammed the hammer down on Shinash, who was still stuck in the snow. The impact sent snow swirling for hundreds of meters around him, and the mountains for thousands of meters around shook.

“Oh no, Didi,” Ronan suddenly exclaimed.

"What's going on?" Dinia asked.

“You missed. No, you should say that your kick earlier didn’t even land,” Ronan said. “It’s not just that your consciousness was affected; your senses were controlled when he grabbed you. How could you possibly kick backwards with both legs and grip the hammer in your current state?”

Dinya missed her kick on Shinash, who had already released her grip and retreated before she could even strike. The subsequent hammer blow was a complete illusion, as Shinash was a kilometer away at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Dinia immediately woke up. Yes, she was currently in a disabled state. "Then, continue switching like before?"

Fortunately, this kind of conscious control is not precise manipulation, but a kind of guided illusion.

Ronan denied Dinia's statement, "No, I'm affected too. In a little while, I won't be able to realize that I'm being controlled anymore." At this moment, he was slightly more clear-headed than Dinia, but that might not be the case later.

"Then dissolve the fusion. Buy me a little time, and I'll get it done quickly," Dinia made a decisive decision.

She wasn't stupid. She had long suspected that Shinash had come to this place with ulterior motives. The reason she stopped earlier was to send countless bacteria deep underground. As it turned out, her guess was correct. Then, she began to destroy the abnormal power underground.

The speed is not high simply because they also have to focus on the battle.

Faced with this situation, she had to change her approach and first get rid of this annoying thing completely.

After the fusion was broken, Ronandinia was no longer a person, and the control of her consciousness was temporarily released, allowing Dinnia to regain full consciousness for the time being.

On the other side, a kilometer away.

"Why didn't you make a move just now?" Shinash questioned Little Nigan, the first time he had spoken harshly to this new generation of divine messengers.

"Why didn't I make a move?" Little Nigan asked like a wronged child. "Wasn't it because I was cooperating with you the whole time that she fell into the illusion?" The evil power summoned by Shinash did not have the ability to control perception. It was only with the addition of Little Nigan's power that this effect was achieved.

“You don’t need to expend a lot of energy controlling this. You could have attacked together just now, which would have not only depleted her strength but also severely injured her again,” Shinash said, clearly dissatisfied with Little Nigan.

Little Nigan was annoyed by Shinash's question and retorted, "In my current state, wouldn't it be very dangerous if she hit me?"

“I used to think you were just immature, but now it seems you lack the courage a young person should have,” Shinash said. “You are not worthy to be a messenger of the gods.”

“You…” Little Nigan was furious. He harbored deep resentment towards Shinash, feeling that if it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t have been hunted down. If Dinya had been willing to let him go before, he would have turned against her long ago. But Dinya deserved to die. Why wouldn’t she let him go?

Suddenly, before Nigan could react, he was grabbed by Shinash. "Let me be the messenger of the gods. Having received the most memories of the messengers of the gods, I am more worthy than you, a child who doesn't even understand the greatness of the messengers of the gods."

Little Nigan struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free at all. He was already weaker than Shinash, and he had also exhausted himself by being chased all the way. If it were the Shinash who was exhausted before, he would definitely not be able to do anything to him. But this time, he was in a final burst of energy, even stronger than Shinash at his peak.

Shinash activated his reincarnation ability.

Little Nigan felt his consciousness rapidly fading away. "You despicable, shameless dog! What divine messenger, what teachings, it's all lies! You bastard! Ahhh! You old dog, you wanted this body of mine from the very beginning! You'll die anyway, die!"

As he grew increasingly powerless, all Little Nigan could do was curse incessantly. Unfortunately, as a child, he didn't have many words to use for cursing, and as his consciousness gradually faded, he became even more powerless.

Soon, Shinash completed his reincarnation, and his original body collapsed to the ground, quickly withering away.

He tried clenching his fist and shook his head slightly. His own magical constitution was not very compatible with this body. The girl who worshipped the Naga God who controlled life and death was more suitable for him, since many of his spells were about life and death.

At this moment, his strength has declined considerably compared to the brief moment of his final burst of energy before his reincarnation. He can only be said to be barely at the seventh level, but his strength lies in its stability. His final burst of energy cannot be maintained for long, and once it dissipates, he will die immediately.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have wasted time talking to him." Shinash quickly realized that the blessing of his will was weakening.

The moment he realized something was wrong, Shinash immediately flew towards Dinia's location.

Ronan blocked his way.

Chapter 729 Battle to the Himalayas, If I Were You, I'd Take a Bet, But There Are No Ifs

There was no wind or snow in the snow valley, but the fierce battle that had just taken place, resembling a cataclysmic disaster, had stirred up a storm of wind and snow.

Ronan, a sixth-order being, and Shinash, a seventh-order reincarnation, stood facing each other in the sudden, yet soon-to-disperse, snowstorm.

Without a word, the next second, the blades of the twin swords collided with the shafts of the twin-pointed spears, and the violent aftershocks rippled outwards in a circular pattern from the two of them, breaking through the wind and snow.

Ronan was taken aback. He considered himself an expert in martial arts and had fought against Little Nigan twice with Dinia. The opponent's spear technique was characterized by speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. Some of his moves seemed fancy, but they were actually deceptive and extremely vicious. It was definitely not the kind of approach he was taking now, where he used a spear like a stick and just brute force his way through.

Upon further reflection, it turned out that it was Little Nigan who had arrived, not Shinash.

Ronan had already guessed a lot in an instant.

"Reincarnation? You seem much weaker now, and you don't have that kid's original gun skills anymore," Ronan mocked.

“Enough to deal with you.” Shinash’s voice was short and sharp. As he spoke, he swung his weapon with tremendous force, attacking Ronan.

At this moment, his top priority was to quickly deal with Ronan and then interrupt Dinia. However, having just completed the reincarnation in a moment of panic, he was still in the process of adapting. He could use his own magic, as well as Little Nigan's gun skills and superpowers, but he couldn't fully utilize them.

“If I were you, I would never choose to play it safe at a life-or-death moment. Instead, I would gamble with that surge of strength I just gained. And if it were me, persuading that brat to come and share the burden would be no problem at all,” Ronan added, his words both sarcastic and truthful.

The resurrected Hinash was much stronger than he was at this moment. If the merged Roddy wasn't careful, he would beat him up, causing the "Burnout" effect, which had just been alleviated, to deepen again. Hinash's normal attacks had almost no real damage to the merged Roddy. Only when he hit Roddy and the "Burnout" effect deepened could it be considered damage.

Of course, judging from his condition, after using the "burn out" move, his own life force was also rapidly dissipating.

If Ronan were Shinash, he would definitely gamble, betting that he could force Dinah to retreat before he dies, and then find a way to survive.

Instead of using Little Nigan as a vessel for reincarnation now, which would not only weaken his strength but also render him a useless helper.

“You’re truly living up to Seris’s saying: the older you get in the world, the bolder you become…” Ronan hadn’t finished speaking when he was already gone.

Shinash's furious all-out attack shattered Ronan's magic armor and defensive membrane, sending Ronan crashing like a cannonball into the snow-covered mountain hundreds of meters away, embedding him deeply into the snow until he was completely invisible.

Having defeated Ronan, Shinash sped toward Dinah, who was in a meditative state.

As long as Dinia is prevented from fully committing to releasing the will, the will can be maintained for a long time.

If we delay a little longer, until he fully adapts to his new body, he will be able to use all his spells except for Reincarnation, which requires a long cooldown, and Burnout, which is no longer usable. He can then combine these with Little Nigan's perception control, magic manipulation, and self-repair abilities.

Dealing with Diniya's offensive will not be a problem.

Then, continue to drag it out until you have enough time to control Dinia and Ronan's perceptions and lead them both into an illusion. That will be the time when the situation reverses.

In short, as long as he stops Dinia, then it will no longer be him who is anxious, but Dinia and Ronan.

Conservative? What a joke, he's just playing it safe.

He was right in front of him, so close. At this distance, he only needed two seconds to stop Dinia. But just then, ten flying swords with sword-like blades surrounded him, launching attacks relentlessly. These flying swords' attacks almost ignored his defenses, directly causing him damage.

If it were Little Nigan, with his superb marksmanship, Ronan's flying sword couldn't get past his gun barrage.

If it were Shinash in his final moments, with a speed that only the combined Ronan could match, Ronan's flying sword wouldn't even be able to scratch him.

But now, Shinash is in the body of Little Nigan, and not only his magic and superpowers, but even his movements are clumsy, making it impossible for him to easily break through Ronan's flying sword attack.

"Damn it!" Shinash cursed and chose to charge headlong into the enemy.

Ronan's flying swords ignored defense, but their damage wouldn't be enough to seriously injure him in a short time, so he just took all the damage and charged forward.

Unfortunately, Ronan possessed not only flying swords, but also flying shields.

The flying shield created layers of obstruction, delaying Shinash for a few more seconds. By the time Shinash broke through the shield's obstruction, Ronan had already reappeared in front of him.

Ronan was a sixth-tier warrior after all. Even with his last burst of energy, surpassing even the peak Shinash, he couldn't kill him in one strike, let alone now.

Ronan stretched out his left hand, fingers spread wide. "Try it out, fight it out. Five more tries at most, and I probably won't be able to get up for the time being."

"You're asking for death!" Shinash unleashed another furious attack, shattering Ronan's defenses and sending him crashing into the snowy slope. This time, he didn't ignore Ronan; instead, he flew right up to him, ready to give chase.

Shinash struck again, this time hitting Ronan. The surrounding snow was shattered, and the mountain was cracked, but Ronan was not knocked away this time. "Idiot," Ronan cursed under his breath, a smile appearing on his lips.

Seizing the fleeting opportunity, Ronan grabbed Shinash's arms with both hands. At the same time, six flying swords pierced through Ronan's and Shinash's left and right hands respectively, pinning their arms together. Meanwhile, four other flying swords pierced through Ronan's chest from behind, entered Shinash's chest, and then emerged from his back, completely pinning the two of them to death.

Meanwhile, Ronan, whose left arm possesses the ability to absorb magic, continues to draw upon Shinash's mana.

"Heart tremor."

When Shinash unleashed one of his spells, it instantly triggered a vibration in Ronan's own magical energy, like a continuous drumbeat, growing more and more intense with each vibration.

Seven seconds later.

Ronan lay on the ground, his skin torn and bleeding, blood gushing from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. He was covered in blood and looked very badly injured. However, he was still quite conscious and had a lot of magic left. He could still control his flying sword and shield, but his body was temporarily unable to move.

Shinash had been driven somewhat mad by Ronan. Ignoring his flying sword and shield, he gathered all his mana and charged straight towards Dinia, abandoning all movement, direction changes, and attacks.

Faced with the already lost composure of Shinash, Ronan barely needed to control his flying sword or shield; he simply charged straight at him.

Three seconds. In just three seconds, Shinash broke through Ronan's sword and shield formation once again and finally managed to get close to Dinia.

He charged up and closed in for one second, then launched his attack in the second. Just as he had said before, it only took two seconds.

But just as he launched his attack, it struck the warhammer. The immense recoil propelled him backward across the snow for dozens of meters until his legs sank into the snow before he came to a stop.

After stopping, Shinash stopped all movement and stood there like a statue.

He lost.

"If those people hadn't insisted on opposing me back then, if that brat hadn't been so cowardly, if it weren't for you just now..."
