After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS-Chapter 226 - 178: Reckoning at the Crow’s Nest

(Triple Combo Chapter)

...

The warehouse was in chaos, and the bone ball lay like a mountain in front of Su Mo.

Su Mo tried to attack the bone ball from various directions, but no matter how he hit it, it was useless. This absolute defense left him at a loss.

The blood code is a power with vast unpredictability.

The same blood code, the same level, can manifest vastly different strengths in different people.

Those lacking combat intelligence who only know how to use the blood code power rigidly are often easily seen through and targeted by enemies.

But some people can create many different moves based on their understanding of the blood code, making them effective in combat.

For example, Nuobai's "Scorching Blood" and Su Mo's "Blood Crystal Skeleton" are powers they comprehended on their own.

This "bone ball" of Simon's, Su Mo had never seen in any Mad Corpse Blood Code Carrier, clearly a power Simon invented himself.

In the game, Simon was just an insignificant side character with very little screen time and never showed this move, leaving Su Mo clueless about the bone ball's characteristics.

Facing the unknown technique, Su Mo refrained from acting rashly and started with a round of trash talk, "Is this the Crow's Nest Seven? Curling up into a ball? That's really impressive indeed."

"Are you planning on dragging this out with me for days and nights, seeing who starves first?"

A dull sound echoed from within the bone ball—Simon's cold laughter.

Then, a mutation occurred.

"Crack, crack, crack..." Sharp hooks and spikes grew over the surface of the bone ball, which began to spin at an accelerating pace under Simon's control.

The ball spun faster and faster, creating a piercing noise against the ground, akin to a high-powered meat grinder.

Su Mo was dumbfounded, his mouth gaping open, "Oh my..."

With a "boom—," the bone ball was set in motion.

The high-speed spinning bone ball barreled towards Su Mo, its rolling momentum terrifying enough that his instincts told him it must not be blocked head-on.

Su Mo hurried to dodge, but the bone ball's path was more agile than expected, changing direction almost simultaneously.

"Screech—," his arm was scraped by the spikes and hooks on the ball's surface, tearing off a patch of flesh.

He had barely steadied himself before the bone ball turned again and rushed at him once more.

Wherever the bone ball passed, debris, covers, and pillars were crushed like tofu, shattering instantly. The warehouse resounded with cracking sounds, debris flying everywhere.

"Damn, what a genius, here comes the rolling wheel!" Su Mo dodged all over the place, looking rather awkward for a moment.

Though agile, the bone ball was still just a ball, not comparable to a human with limbs.

Simon knew he couldn't tire Su Mo out indefinitely, so he didn't bother with him further and directly turned to rush outside.

"Boom!" The warehouse wall crumbled as if it were paper, the bone ball rolling to the exterior.

"Whoa, what is that?!" The Edge Mercenaries, locked in combat, were shocked.

The Crow's Nest Thugs were also bewildered, clearly having never seen Simon in this form.

"Boom—," the spinning bone ball restarted fiercely, rolling towards the Edge Mercenaries.

In no time, the Edge Mercenaries scattered in all directions, the ground crushed wherever the bone ball went. Fortunately, they were agile enough not to get swept away.

The Edge Mercenaries had no idea what was going on, a ball suddenly appearing mid-fight, yet they weren't dumb.

Regardless of what this giant ball larger than a tank was, they knew to run.

But, well, some people's thought processes differ from the norm.

When Dongdong saw such a huge "ball" rolling her way, her first reaction wasn't to run, but instead to pick up a baseball bat and adopt a batting stance.

"Home—run!!!" Dongdong maxed out her prosthetic power, channeling her full strength into the bat and swinging fiercely.

"Bang!!!"

The outcome was unsurprising, the baseball bat flew from her hands, and Dongdong was knocked off her feet, landing awkwardly.

"Ouch, that hurts like hell..." She whimpered, holding her swollen wrist.

Chu Nanyi was stunned: "Sister Dong, you're a real talent! Not dodging and going for a home run here???"

He quickly initiated his prosthetic program, with two cannon muzzles appearing in his palms, continuously firing laser beams at the speeding bone ball.

"Pew-pew-pew—"

The lasers hit the bone ball's surface, leaving only shallow pits and scorched marks, unable to have any other effect.

Chu Nanyi's expression turned grim: "Hey, hey, this isn't fun at all!"

He dived to the side, expertly evading this assault.

Despite the ridiculousness of this scene, Simon's entry completely disrupted the original situation.

The Edge Mercenaries had been on the upper hand, now all busy evading Simon.

With Simon's assistance, the Crow's Nest Thugs launched a counterattack, several mercenaries already wounded.

Su Mo rushed out of the warehouse, frowning at the rampaging bone ball.

Chu Nanyi shouted while running: "Captain, quick, think of something, or they'll end up playing us!"

Su Mo thought for a moment, then sprinted towards the black ark in the nearby ruins, opening the door and getting in.

He started the driving system, steering the vehicle towards the bone ball.

"Like crashing? Then let's crash!"

He floored the gas pedal, the black ark roaring like a released beast, its speed rapidly rising.

The black ark and the bone ball were on a straight collision course, neither yielding, colliding head-on.

"Boom!!!" The intense impact sounded like a hammer striking the heart, leaving the Edge Mercenaries and Crow's Nest Thugs momentarily dazed.

The black ark indeed lived up to being a vehicle crafted by the Mark Reading Company for political elites, its sturdiness absurdly high. The windows and headlights shattered, yet the dragon steel-made vehicle body remained intact and undeformed.
