Garden of Eden || Apocalypse Paradise #2 [Complete]

126: Lin Sanjiu the Saint

Description: The ingredients the user used in the last dish she cooked would emerge from her body as a weapon. The weapon could be controlled psionically, but one thing to note is that it will change if the user makes a new dish.

PS: Only the ingredients that were cut by the user would be considered possible options for this ability. If the user dice a few different ingredients at the same time, she can choose from one of them.

"To be honest, this is actually a cucumber," Xueqin sounded a little awkward when she explained that while she still laid her face on the ground.

Lin Sanjiu was certainly a little dazed by this. With the help of the green snake—or rather, cucumber, the other female contestants quickly let out sighs of relief. At the same time, Lin Sanjiu could feel that the condition of her body was stabilizing.

At the end of any leveling-up process, there would not be any side effects, but the ability holder would instead feel revitalized. The moment her symptoms disappeared, Lin Sanjiu leaped up and shouted to Xueqin, "I'm counting on you!" After that, with a few bounces and leaps, she chased after the Grade 2 combatant who had just shot out a white beam.

The recharging time the combatants required was never more than 40 seconds. Lin Sanjiu had to grab this opportunity to act. She activated [No coincidence. No story] and immediately spotted her target, who was moving rigidly, hiding behind a group of duoluozhongs. She rushed in headfirst without hesitating, scaring the other female contestants behind her. The large cucumber was swept across part of the arena, but it wasn't long enough to reach the duoluozhongs around Lin Sanjiu.

The tall duoluozhongs started howling excitedly as they surrounded Lin Sanjiu and lunged themselves at her. Lin Sanjiu's expression remained the same. She stretched out both her hands, which were somehow wrapped again, and quickly pressed them over many enemies in a row.

She was surrounded by an explosion of blood and flesh in the next second. Blood spurted everywhere, and bloodied flesh, limbs, and body parts would continue raining down for almost a minute.

[A Twinkle in the Sky Dark Version: Mosaic Censorship]

"Enemies are drawn to disappear into the sky to compromise with the censorship restrictions on violent scenes..." Satoshi Akiyama, the editor of a manga magazine, thought as he was having a headache after seeing the darker 2.0 version of censorship in the drafts sent by other mangakas.

Description: Did you fail to activate [A Twinkle in the Sky] just moments before? That's right! As the user does not exist in a manga and is bound by the laws of science (huh?), the user is unable to launch their target into the sky when they are indoors or if there is something above their head obstructing possible trajectory paths.

Thus, the leveled-up version of this ability takes on a different style.

When the user places both her hands on the target, [A Twinkle in the Sky] is activated in both hands. As the target is hit by attacks from two directions, it will instantly dissolve into a pixelated mess.

Warning: After activating this ability, please do not hold your own face in your hand, trying to be cute.

Lin Sanjiu was covered with the stench from the shower of blood, but she remained composed as she pounced on the Grade 2 combatant and pressed both hands on his body. He had no chance to dodge. His body exploded, and innards, flesh, and machinery bits flew into the sky like a small fountain.

Following that, Lin Sanjiu got up and headed for the next combatant. As she made her way to him, she killed off the duoluozhongs in her path, sending their innards and body parts flying everywhere. There was a thick mist of blood in the air as the ground was covered with several lumps of dismembered body parts. The woman ran forward with a cold face, like a blood-soaked Death God.

The audience members, who were previously ranting and whistling quickly, grew quiet. Everyone in the audience who had been eyeing Lin Sanjiu gradually got cold feet.

Gong Daoyi suddenly snatched the hot dog from Lei Ming's hand and rolled it into a ball in a second.

"Mr. Gong, are you angry?" Lei Ming whispered, unable to understand the man beside him.

It took Gong Daoyi a while before he replied as if he suddenly realized that Lei Ming was asking him a question, "Huh? No... I'm not angry. I'm just pumped."

"Yup. It's exciting!" This was the first time Lei Ming felt that he actually grasped Gong Daoyi's logic and quickly added, "I didn't know Contestant 97 was so good at fighting! It's admirable..."

Gong Daoyi let out a quiet chuckle but quickly stopped himself, realizing that it wasn't appropriate here as he looked back at the battle arena, feeling a little embarrassed.

After successfully dodging another white beam attack, Lin Sanjiu had already consecutively killed off three of the five Grade 2 combatants. A large number of duoluozhongs had also been eradicated while the remaining few were still struggling against the other female contestants. But from the looks of things, the outcome of this match was already very obvious.

The remaining two combatants suddenly stopped and strode towards Lin Sanjiu. As they walked, they opened their mouths— they had already finished recharging their power.

Lin Sanjiu stood still, showing no intention to evade the attack.

"What is she doing?" Xueqin asked with her hoarse voice. She wanted to move, but with her broken limbs, there was not much she could do.

Lin Sanjiu shouted out the next second, "Dong Haohao, can you still use your ability?"

When Dong Haohao used her [National Tax agency] against that white beam previously, she found that it consumed her stamina like an endless black hole. But Dong Haohao gritted her teeth and replied, "I'll back you up."

Once she finished her sentence, the combatants shot two beams of eye-blinding white light directly at Lin Sanjiu.

She only had three seconds.

With the intensity of the white beam, nobody saw what happened clearly. They only saw a blurry image of Lin Sanjiu sprinting towards the combatants. The white beams began to vibrate violently, affecting everyone's vision. Just when Dong Haohao was at her limit, the white beams suddenly disappeared. When she narrowed her eyes and looked up, she saw that Lin Sanjiu had already taken down both combatants.

She pressed the face of one of the combatants onto the floor and signaled for one of the flying cameras with her jaw. A camera flew down and gave her a close-up. The audience glued their eyes to the large screen.

Tiny droplets of blood rolled down the lens of the camera as Lin Sanjiu spoke. "This person was once a posthuman, so I am not going to kill him. Take him back!"

The entire arena went silent as she said those unexpected words—'She's not going to kill other posthumans? But she had already killed three of them in such a gruesome manner.'

But Contestant 97 seemed to be genuine. She mustered her strength and crushed the beetle-like machine embedded in his head before standing up and walking toward the other female contestants. She whispered something to them softly.

There was a sudden buzz of commotion within the audience. Lei Ming was moved by this and commented, "Who would've known that Contestant 97 had such magnanimity."

As the female contestants walked back to their capsules, the combatant was taken away by the staff. Gong Daoyi suddenly pat Lei Ming's shoulder, "Enough nonsense, give me the Geiger counter."

Lei Ming paused for a moment before reacting. He quickly searched his bag and handed the device to Gong Daoyi furtively. Gong Daoyi crooked his head as he stared at the device. When he spoke again, he sounded extremely happy, "There is something we have to do now."

"What?"

"Take this. I need you to puncture everyone's anti-radiation clothes." Gong Daoyi handed him a small knife.
