Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 192 - 190: The Fall of Tu Hongwu

Lagros’s heart wavered, as he had just received the system prompt.

The human, who in his eyes wasn’t even as significant as a parasite on his body, had actually cleared his dungeon!

Which meant he had lost the bet!

Losing wasn’t that big of an issue, since ten years was just a blink of an eye for a being like him.

Even if his subordinates inside were all killed by this guy, it didn’t matter.

There were plenty of Divine Level beings in the Abyss, especially on his 30th layer alone, with over 700 Divine Level entities.

Among them, mid-tier and high-tier gods were not in the minority, so that wasn’t important either.

The key issue was that this guy had actually opened his military warehouse.

The items inside, if discussed, weren’t particularly precious, mostly just weapons and equipment for Kings and Divine Levels, or resources.

But most importantly, there was an item that could unseal Earth inside.

This item was originally intended to be given to his subordinates, as he didn’t need to approach Earth; merely entering the Solar System would cause irreversible changes to Earth.

But now, that kid had taken it!

The failure of the bet meant he couldn’t take action against the Human Race anymore, lest he risk being erased by the system at any moment.

Just as he was hesitating, Su Mo’s figure slowly emerged from the dungeon entrance.

Lagros’s enormous eyes glanced at him as if trying to etch his form into memory, then turned and left without a word.

Ten years was nothing; he could afford to wait!

And this kid was doomed!

It wasn’t because he had taken something he shouldn’t have, but because his talent was too threatening to let him live in this universe.

Exceeding one’s peers could be called genius, far surpassing all peers could be called a prodigy.

But when one’s strength far surpassed all peers and even threatened the older generations, they could be called a marvel.

Yet a being like Su Mo couldn’t just be called a marvel; he could be deemed a universally intolerable prodigious marvel.

If a being like him were to grow, he could disrupt the balance of all races in the universe, even the Abyss.

But to this day, such beings were exceedingly rare because they were hard to nurture.

A prodigy showing initial signs can draw attention, while a marvel can make all surrounding races covet them.

As for such prodigious marvels, if they show the slightest hint, every race would surely want to eliminate them!

Unless they can hide until invincible across the world before emerging.

Only then could they avoid everyone’s attention and dominate an era.

There have been such beings before, like the Emperor beside them...

Seeing Lagros turn and leave, Tu Hongwu and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, they were genuinely worried about that guy becoming desperate.

Especially after such a long confrontation, Tu Hongwu’s forcibly elevated strength began to decline.

But he had always tried hard to conceal it; if it came to a fight, he’d doubt making it through even three hits before being exposed.

But it seemed their worries were unfounded; since the other side made such demands, it showed they weren’t looking for a fight or injury.

After Lagros left, Tu Hongwu and his companions continued to stand quietly in space, watching.

Only when the blood-colored Treasure Tower in Tu Hongwu’s hand detected that the foe had completely exited the Human Race’s star realm did they finally relax.

Once the tension vanished suddenly, the blood-colored dragon behind Tu Hongwu dissipated instantly, and even the Blood Sea beneath him began to transform into specks of starlight, drifting through the universe.

Moments ago, brimming with vigor, Tu Hongwu now looked as if he’d aged a decade instantly, his face paling, muscles withering, and blood-red hair dimming.

The nine-layered Blood-Colored Treasure Tower slowly merged into his palm as Tu Hongwu spat a mouthful of fresh blood.

Bai Yuanhao and Chu Tian hurriedly rushed forward to support him upon seeing this.

"Old Tu, are you alright?"

"You old killer, don’t tell me you can’t hold on after just a short while!"

Tu Hongwu spat bloody saliva to the side and wiped the blood from his mouth, "Pah, nothing good can come from a dog’s mouth, if you two are fine, no way I’ll have trouble!"

He then pushed them aside, took a few faltering steps forward.

Bai Yuanhao followed behind, full of worry, as Tu Hongwu’s pace slowed.

Chu Tian remained where he was, his icy facade slightly furrowed as if pondering something.

But the faintly raised brows gave away his concern for Tu Hongwu’s health.

Perhaps due to his inherent personality, he still appeared cold.

Seeing Tu Hongwu’s state, Su Mo hurried over with a worried face, saying, "Master, what’s wrong with you?"

Tu Hongwu only gently patted his head, "You’ve reached Silver level, well done, very well done.

The disciple ceremony we spoke of was delayed for various reasons, so take these few days to rest well. Seven days later at Qingbei University, I will officially hold the ceremony. Everything you wanted will be ready then."

"Master, you..." Su Mo started.

"Your master is perfectly healthy. It’s just a minor injury, nothing at all. You did an exemplary job this time, and during the disciple ceremony, I will personally award you a medal and announce it nationwide. Make sure you’re prepared and alert so you won’t embarrass me."

Without giving Su Mo time to respond, Tu Hongwu vanished.

The next instant, he appeared in the Three-Eyed Realm.

About to teleport back to his residence, he suddenly staggered and spat out a mouthful of blood.

As the blood hit the ground, it quickly spread, forming a blood-colored lake.

Gongsun Mu appeared just in time to support Tu Hongwu. Looking at the blood lake on the ground, his white eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Before Gongsun Mu could speak, Tu Hongwu waved his hand, saying, "I know my body, nothing serious, just need a few years of rest.

But now I am most worried about the Human Race; our strength is still inadequate."

"You’re..." Gongsun Mu began but was interrupted by Tu Hongwu once more, "Don’t speak, listen to me. I hope you can consolidate all resources to customize the best equipment and weapons for Su Mo, as he is the future of our Human Race."

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. But say no more; this time you’ve harmed your foundation, it might be impossible to become Super God in this lifetime..."
