I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 448 - 93: A Whimsical Idea
Survival of the Fittest, the primary trait of the Lord Sequence, the ability Yun You keeps up her sleeve.
Since comprehending it, she has only used it twice: once to deal with "Tai Sui" when on the brink of death, and another time against the Apprentice Death God, Yang Lie.
Normally, Yun You would not use this skill.
The reason is simple: its consumption... or rather, the cost is simply too great.
Similar to the Dragon Gun, using Survival of the Fittest requires deteriorating some part of her body to achieve an "equivalent exchange" effect.
But usually, the negative impact it brings is often larger than that of the Dragon Gun, because the Dragon Gun's devouring won't consume an entire organ, only half or a third. In such cases, if Yun You sacrificed her liver, an eye, or a kidney, it temporarily wouldn't greatly affect her body nor interfere with the battle.
However, Survival of the Fittest is different; its deterioration directly affects an entire organ.
If she chooses her eyes, then both eyes would go blind simultaneously. If she chooses kidneys or lungs, then both organs would deteriorate.
Therefore, Yun You hardly ever uses this move in battle, unless the battle is nearing its end, she is about to defeat her enemy... and can repair the deteriorated organs through Eating.
Even with repair through Eating, Yun You still vaguely feels that some hidden injuries always accumulate in those deteriorated organs, not fully restored despite sufficient nutrition.
But now she didn't bother caring so much.
"Choose your target to strengthen or deteriorate, and place the price you're willing to pay."
The voice of the King rang out, carrying a hint of displeasure.
In fact, as another colder, more rational Yun You, the King always believed Yun You was too soft-hearted.
If it were her, she wouldn't have allowed the Karma Remnant Buddha's birth; she would have abducted the girl on the very night she met Mokaka.
At that time, Tian En wouldn't have had time to instruct Jiang Xing to detonate the nuclear bomb, nor would the Karma Remnant Buddha's Death Domain Barrier have descended, indeed making it the best time to leave.
If Mokaka resisted, then break her limbs and forcefully take her away.
In doing so, Yun You herself wouldn't have to face the risks that followed.
"Hehe..."
Yun You, of course, understood the King's thoughts. She just never responded, and certainly never explained anything, just grinned foolishly.
"You..."
"Forget it, do as you wish."
The King, a bit helpless, could only let Yun You do as she wanted.
"I choose to optimize, optimization target—Dragon Gun."
Yun You placed the Dragon Gun onto the left tray of the Balance Scale.
Instantly, the tray sank due to the massive weight.
Seeing this, the King snorted coldly again.
"Equivalent exchange, you must provide a price equivalent to the weight of the Dragon Gun."
"Optimization target: Dragon Gun."
"Optimization effect: Power enhanced by 100%, Penetrative Power enhanced by 90%." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Equivalent exchange ratio: 1 to 1."
Without hesitation, Yun You directly said, "Kidneys."
Simultaneously, the image of kidneys appeared on the right side of the Balance Scale, causing it to sway back and forth.
For the human body, the importance of kidneys is obvious; if both kidneys simultaneously fail, a person may not survive long.
But concerning battle, losing kidneys is indeed the lightest cost, as it won't hugely affect combat in the short term.
However... when the Balance Scale gradually stabilized, Yun You discovered that a pair of kidneys' weight was insufficient to balance the scale.
"The weight of the kidneys isn't enough; offer a more valuable organ,"
the King said annoyingly.
"..."
Yun You thought for a moment and then projected her liver.
Yet, the final result was still not equivalent.
The liver's weight was not enough either.
As a result, Yun You tried the stomach, spleen, and gallbladder one after another... but clearly, none could balance the scale.
Finally, the young girl had to place her most valuable chip.
Heart.
The moment the crimson heart's shadow appeared on the Balance Scale's tray, the long-swaying scale finally settled, and the positions on both sides of the trays were perfectly level.
"Contract in effect, enjoy the privilege bestowed by the King's authority!"
"Come on."
Yun You licked her lips, her eyes ablaze with intense flames.
The Balance Scale slowly vanished, and the space and time around Yun You resumed their flow.
...
Amid the exhilarating piano music, beneath the crimson sky, Yun You stood at the forefront of the camp and raised the Dragon Gun towards the Karma Remnant Buddha, the gun glowing intensely blue, with spiral light patterns swirling around the muzzle.
At the same time, the Alef creatures stepped toward the camp.
Despite the high temperature emitted from the gun cannon, causing even the survivors far at the camp's end to feel an unusual heat, the glowing patterns radiating from it melted the surrounding sand, stones, and bricks into red molten liquid, the Karma Remnant Buddha never bowed, maintaining a gesture of clasped hands reciting scriptures.
"Fire!"
After silently chanting a phrase in her heart, Yun You unhesitatingly pulled the trigger.
"Buzz——!"
Instantly, the young girl's dragon-shaped cannon burst out with a bright turquoise glow, the laser emanating from the gun's muzzle no longer red but a dazzling cyan blue brilliance!
This ultra-compressed energy beam, enhanced by Survival of the Fittest ability, ionized the air into twelve layers of rainbow rings, even bending the light into a spiral.
