Sleeping, waking up, falling, all the eyes see are blurry blocks of color, and the fragments of the world shine like stars.

It seemed like I was back when I was practicing the Seal of Suffering, falling in the endless abyss without knowing where I was going. There is a shrill howl of wind in my ears, but there should be no wind outside the world. When he realized this, the sun and air enveloped his body, and he came to another reincarnation. As expected, this time it was also a bloody battle. The two sides of the battle were replaced by zombies with bloody flesh and monsters condensed by curses. Lord Shigure, wearing the outfit of the Jihui Division, fought bloody battles at the front of the battlefield.

"Gongsun——"

As soon as Rei Shigure saw him, Shigure-kun reached out to him. But Gongsun Ce didn't respond. He gritted his teeth and summoned the demon's hand, punched, punched, and kept punching. Three consecutive blows finally shattered the world. He shuttled through the rain for the third time, trying to find a way to get close to the King of Ping.

It’s no use, my friend.

In my world, pure power means nothing.

King Ping no longer appears, only his laughter lingers. His power became weaker and weaker with each failure. Gongsun Ce was no longer able to condense the Star God Sword, and was unable to prevent the reorganization of the world. So the fourth reincarnation began, and Gongsun Ce was once again trapped in a battle. People wore medieval armor and rode on tall horses to fight. The general holding the battle flag high was wearing a black and red uniform. He was Gaius Optimis...

"Broken!" Gongsun Ce shouted wildly and punched. This time he hit six times in a row before the world finally broke.

There is no point in taking a break, as the lost strength will not be restored. The reincarnation of Ara Dou Shen is constantly weakening his power, and he must find a way to break the situation before he is suppressed into a normal person. Even if he has a killer weapon at hand, he must fight the king to the end before resorting to it. But now he can't even get close to the equal king. He can't touch the enemy's attack, which is totally meaningless!

The world was broken again and again. Gongsun Ce kept waking up and searching, but he still had no clue. He couldn't even see the light of King Ping. After breaking the reincarnation, what awaits him is always the next reincarnation. Endless pictures flash before his eyes, like an illusion before dizziness.

How many reincarnations has this been?

10 times? 100 times? 1000 times? Isn’t the King of Equality tired?

He is the eternal king, he will not get tired...but Gongsun Ce is a human being...Gongsun Ce will still get tired...

Gongsun Ce opened his eyes and saw a new reincarnation. He and his friends were sitting in the classroom, and Onowell stood on the podium holding a pointer.

"Students, I want to emphasize three points. First, everyone has equal fighting power; second, the winner can plunder everything from the loser; third, the person who wins in the end is the one who kills the King of Equality. Brave." Onowell recounted the main points on the podium, and then took out a pistol, "Do you all remember it? The battle begins now!"

Pistols were fired, bullets brought out blood, and the school instantly turned into a hell, with people fighting amid the laughter of the king. Gongsun Ce could not accept such a world. He persistently punched the world itself until his skin and bones were stained red with blood.

This time, until the end, the world was only cracked with a crack. He ran towards the gap with all his strength, but fell to the ground on the way. The superpowers in the melee spotted him, and he easily tripped over a rope. Former classmates approached with weapons in hand, bloodthirsty and excited smiles on their young faces.

will die. Everyone has the same strength, and if they are besieged by so many "enemies", they will definitely die. The only way to survive was to fight back, but he didn't want to hurt innocent people... He didn't want to participate in the battle...

"Get away...away...!"

Gongsun Ce forcibly activated telekinesis and pushed all the enemies into the distance. He barely stood up and staggered away from the fight. The world in his eyes gradually blurs, and everyone who approaches has a fighting spirit and attacks regardless of likes and dislikes. He stubbornly pushed everyone away and fled with the inertia of his body.

pain. weak. Nausea and dizziness come from time to time. Many wounds appeared on the body at some point, and the dried blood stained the clothes red. How long have these scars accumulated? How long had he been fighting? How many reincarnations is this?

His thoughts were intermittent and his consciousness was dizzy. At the moment when the pain came, Gongsun Ce realized that he had fallen in the alley. He heard the rain again, just as cold and damp as he remembered.

It rained again, and the cold rain wet the body, and the heat drained from the body along with the blood. He seemed to be back ten years ago, and became that helpless child again, curling up in the alley to fight off the cold.

Gongsun Ce heard the sound of treading water, and he managed to open his eyes. A pair of leather boots appeared in the dim vision, and a woman in hunting clothes was looking down at him. Zero wore his black hair and used his face, and his eyes were as cold as when he betrayed him.

I wanted to reach out, but I didn't even have the strength to move my fingertips. He could only watch helplessly as she leaned closer, watching the fingertips that had cut out his heart pierce his chest again.

The fingertips stopped on Gongsun Ce's chest, and the warm liquid slipped from his face. Zero grabbed his wrist tightly, her nails dug into the skin, blood flowed along the skin and fell towards his face.

"Don't be discouraged. Think of a way."

As if to encourage her, she gave an ugly smile.

"I really don't want to hurt you again..."

do not do that.

I'll figure it out. I will definitely defeat him. So Zero, don't worry... don't look sad...

I wanted to speak, but I couldn't open my lips. He wanted to grab her cold hand, but there was no strength in his body. In an unprecedented sense of loss, Gongsun Ce lost consciousness.

The last memory in my mind is the familiar blue flowers.

"Wake up." Someone else said softly, "Gongsun Ce, wake up."

Gongsun Ce opened his eyes and sat up instantly. He still clenched his fists subconsciously, and his bones creaked from the excessive force. This is a room with good lighting. The floor-to-ceiling windows are decorated with overhead green plants, and the light-toned wooden furniture is simple and warm. He was lying on the comfortable big bed, and the person who called him was sitting beside the bed, wearing thin pajamas. She just shrank back, she was frightened.

"Where is Zero?" he said stiffly, "Where has she gone?"

"Rei Shigure left after sending you here." Maho said, "She was worried that she would not be able to control her urge to fight. It might be better not to meet each other for now..."

"That's it." Gongsun Ce murmured to himself, "That's it."

Gongsun Ce slowly rolled his eyes, as if waking up from a long hibernation. He saw himself in Maho's eyes. His eyes were numb and his expression was distracted. Only his facial muscles were tense and his angry expression was frozen on his face, like steel that had melted and then solidified.

"I'm sorry, Maho-san." He lowered his head and rubbed his face, "The situation is a bit bad... don't be afraid, it's okay."

"I'm not afraid." Maho said softly, "Eat something and sleep for a while, you need to rest now."

Gongsun Ce waved his hand and shook his head vigorously, trying to recall the details of the previous battle as much as possible: "It's okay. It's okay if I don't eat or drink now. Thank you for your kindness. I don't have time to rest. I will find a way to solve the problem outside right away. matter……"

"I think you..." Maho hesitated.

Gongsun Ce sat up, his whole body was in severe pain, and his telekinesis was as weak as a child's trick. He tried his best to smile: "It's okay, Maho-san. I know it's very chaotic outside and you're very uneasy. I've found the culprit, but there's just a little trouble that needs to be dealt with. I'll be able to think of a solution right away, and everything will be fine soon." Solve it, and then the world will be safe...it will be fine soon, just wait for me a little longer..."

Halfway through, Gongsun Ce realized that his voice was hoarse and ugly, sounding so weak and ridiculous. He summoned up the energy to get out of bed, but Maho held his shoulders firmly.

She opened her arms and hugged Gongsun Ce. Her movements had never been so strong, leaving Gongsun Ce at a loss. His head was pressed against the soft ridge, and he could feel her warm heartbeat.

"Stop, Gongsun Ce." Maho was so determined that there was no doubt, "Your current state is terrible, not much better than four years ago. I know that you have grown up, you have become stronger, and you are an amazing big shot. But now I am a doctor and you have to listen to me."

The tense fists were released silently, and the stiff muscles gradually relaxed. Gongsun Ce exhaled and leaned half of his body against hers.

"Sorry, sister." He whispered, "Charge it, it only takes ten seconds."

"Get some sleep." Maho stroked his hair gently, "We'll talk about it after we wake up."

At the moment when consciousness relaxes, sleepiness hits like a heavy hammer. Gongsun Ce really fell asleep, not in an exhausted coma, but in a normal sleep.

He felt like he'd slept for ten hours, maybe more. When he woke up, he felt refreshed, and the last trace of fatigue in his body disappeared as his muscles stretched. He opened his eyes and could recognize Maho in his arms even without his glasses.

"Sorry, I..." Gongsun Ce was a little embarrassed.

"I just said you were too tired." Maho smiled, "Don't worry, just keep lying down."

"I can't stay too long-"

"You can." Maho said, "Jihuiji is very powerful this time. We are in her sanctuary and are safe for the time being."

Gongsun Ce fell silent. He realized that Maho had a sufficient understanding of the situation, and he also realized that he was no longer the "strong one". He will be injured and exhausted, and will be in danger if attacked by multiple people. He is not even one point stronger than anyone else.

Pure power is meaningless, but now he doesn't even have the power.

Maho hugged him hard, and she noticed her brother's emotions.

"You still have us." She leaned her head on Gongsun Ce's shoulder, "You never have nothing."

"……Thanks."

"Don't worry, you can definitely think of a way." Maho said briskly, "I'll make something for you."

Maho got out of bed and opened the curtains. The rain had stopped when Gongsun Ce fell asleep, and the warm sunshine penetrated the silk, covering the girl's fair skin with a golden veil. She walked out of the room briskly and when she came back, she changed into her usual doctor's uniform and brought two sandwiches and a cup of hot chocolate.

Gongsun Ce took the chocolate and took a few sips. The heat poured into his stomach with warmth, adding a warm current to his body. He let out a long, long sigh of relief.

"I feel better."

"That's good." Maho rubbed his head, "You were already semi-crazy before, didn't you notice? Your mind is full of fighting and killing, just like the guys outside."

Gongsun Ce smiled bitterly: "In the end, I was also infected by the madness. How shameless."

He leaned on the bed and ate breakfast slowly, listening to Maho describe the current situation. The "world view" of this reincarnation still has the Capital of the Sky. This time, the Jihui Division is quite powerful and has secured a stable area without struggle. People live in their own houses and avoid meeting and communicating in order not to hurt each other.

"You are very lucky, Rei Shigure knows where I live, otherwise you might really die on the street." Maho said.

"Is it any luck..." Gongsun Ce lowered his head, thinking about the gift given by his friend, and his mood was particularly complicated.

"It's so shameful to be reduced to this state."

"It's not like you're embarrassed for a day or two. Then you can find a way to come back handsome." Maho knocked his head, "Sister doesn't understand what's going on now, so she may not be able to help you more, but there is Say it anytime you need to.”

"It's been a big help." Gongsun Ce put down the cup, "I'll sort out my thoughts by myself. Don't worry, there won't be any problems this time."

Maho responded with a gentle smile, kissed his cheek, and walked out of the dormitory. He lay on the bed for a while, then slowly got out of bed and walked slowly in the single villa.

There wasn't much life in the room, and Ayane couldn't be seen either. He could predict what had happened here. Ayane also fell into madness, but Maho, who still maintained his sense, fought with her. After the fight, Ayane left...

Gongsun Ce didn't want to think about it anymore. He suppressed his anger and forced himself to start thinking. King Equality is right about one thing, pure violence is meaningless. Alandia suggested that he collect information, which was the right idea. To defeat your opponent, you must understand your opponent, and the prerequisite for reasoning is sufficient intelligence...

He fought against King Ping several times... What did he gain? What did he find?

Gongsun Ce wandered unconsciously in the house. The scorching sun raised the temperature inside the house, and the cicadas outside the window chirped endlessly. The collapsed power system turned the air conditioner into a decoration, and Gongsun Ce was covered in sticky sweat. He was not aware of his state at all and was only focused on thinking. When the mind functions smoothly, the truth of the previous battle becomes apparent.

——The King of Equality is not an invincible enemy.

Several consecutive battles presented a one-sided and desperate situation. He and others were unable to do anything against King Ping, but the more this happened, the more the problem became clear. If the strength gap between them is really insurmountable, then there is no need for King Ping to go to great lengths to reincarnate again and again. The King of Pingping can kill him with any trick, or directly force him to become a dependent.

For a powerful and invincible opponent, why is there any need to use reincarnation to weaken the enemy's combat power in a subtle way?

"That guy is indeed a strong enemy, but the gap in combat power is not as terrifying as when he fought Situ Yi." Gongsun Ce said to himself, "Alandia and Ling can also control themselves to a certain extent, and Qiluo can also He reminded me that my eldest brother and senior sister also vaguely noticed something was wrong. This world is not perfect."

"And King Ping Ping is not a fool who underestimates the enemy. He will let me think about countermeasures, which means... he 'can't' stop me from thinking..."

This isn't fair. He seemed to hear the king's voice. I am already the master of the world, how can I interfere with other people's resistance? I am happy to defeat an opponent who gives me a fair fight, but I will never bully the weak. My friend, never.

Gongsun Ce was not too surprised to find that he could easily imitate King Ping Ping's thinking, and even the bastard's tone of voice was perfect.

"Just catching up with your thoughts." Gongsun Ce pinched his chin, "The next thing I have to think about is why you are so strong..."
