Score a Double Kill!

Scythe Man’s eyes were bloodshot. His chest was packed with fury with nowhere to vent it, while his mind had to remain highly focused. He pushed his speed to the limit, constantly dodging the laser fire from the sharpshooter.

"Where did he get a Laser Gun?" Scythe Man could not figure it out, nor did he have time to think. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kyle somehow pull another black disc from his body and throw it toward him.

"Another bomb?" Scythe Man gritted his teeth, leapt high, and kicked off the outer wall. The disc was far easier to dodge than the lasers, spinning past beneath his feet.

Snap!

The black disc struck the ground behind him without exploding.

Scythe Man was still puzzled when, in the next instant, an unexpected pulling force dragged him downward. His supersonic body stalled in midair for a moment, causing him to crash into the wall.

Seizing that brief opening, Kyle took aim and pulled the trigger. A blinding, scorching laser blasted straight through Scythe Man.

His scream echoed through the underground passage. Scythe Man’s chest was completely pierced by the laser, leaving a bloody hole as he fell stiffly onto the floor behind him. Thick blood rapidly spread from the wound.

His eyes were wide open. Even at death, he could not believe that he would die here in such a stifled, humiliating, and frustrating way, unable to use his strength at all.

"His vitality was way too tenacious. He actually made it through that carpet bombing of ammunition." Kyle relaxed slightly, putting away the Laser Gun whose energy had just run out. Leaning against the wall, he let out a long breath, then took out another similar disc and used it to pull the one on the ground back to him.

The item that had ultimately decided victory was the Gravity Magnet.

This high-tech device could only double underground gravity, and it normally had a noticeable effect only on ordinary humans.

But in that life-or-death battle just now, the increase in gravity had produced an unexpectedly effective result. Even Scythe Man, with his supersonic speed, had suffered a hidden setback. It became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

"Then, next…" Kyle stood up, but Viss’s warning suddenly sounded in his ear. "Warning! A massive creature is rapidly approaching!"

"A massive creature?"

Kyle frowned. His body, which had only just relaxed slightly, tensed once more as he faced the front of the passage.

As the ground trembled faintly, an enormous shadow shot out from the end of the passage. Its body nearly filled the entire underground corridor. Two vicious serpent heads flicked crimson tongues, their vertical pupils coldly looking down on Kyle.

The Giant Two-Headed Snake.

"You want to come too?" Kyle raised his eyes without backing down and coldly confronted the Two-Headed Snake. Though his body was exhausted after one battle, the pressure and bearing he gave off were not the least bit inferior.

The Champion’s Match had not even started, and already two semifinal challengers had appeared? No, counting the child Venom had once possessed, there were three…

The Two-Headed Snake lowered its head. Its two pairs of eyes glanced at Scythe Man’s corpse on the ground, and humanlike mockery and contempt surfaced in its snake eyes. Then its gaze turned to Kyle as if it were looking at a dead man.

"Master. Twenty Guard Ships have already sealed off the surface area above the Underground Prison, at the Interstellar Arena," Viss warned.

"That makes it simple. Kill this monster, then fight our way out!"

Facing trouble from both within and without, Kyle was so calm that he hardly seemed human. Without concealing anything, he directly drew a card, and a large Laser Gun appeared in his hand.

When the Two-Headed Snake saw the laser weapon, it actually bared its fangs in a smile. Its body tilted back slightly. Before showing any obvious intent to attack, its upper body had already shot forward like a spring. Both heads lunged at Kyle with their bloody maws wide open.

Kyle’s expression changed. He raised the Laser Gun and pulled the trigger without needing to aim. A laser immediately pierced through one snake head’s mouth, sending blood splattering everywhere.

Yet the Two-Headed Snake’s attack did not stop. Instead, it became even more violent and crazed. Its intact bloody maw savagely bit down. With nowhere to evade, Kyle swiftly raised the gun in both hands and wedged it vertically between the intact jaws.

The Two-Headed Snake let out a shrill hiss. Its jaws clamped down with force, and the large metal Laser Gun creaked loudly as its barrel bent under the terrifying bite force.

Kyle gripped the gun with both hands, his body hanging outside the Two-Headed Snake’s mouth. Less than ten centimeters away, he could clearly smell the stench inside its bloody maw.

"This monster wants to swallow me whole." Kyle remained impassive as he watched the gun in his hands slowly bend, about to lose its hold on the snake’s jaws. He made his decision, released the gun, planted both feet against the lower jaw, and pressed his palms against the upper jaw.

With strength ten times that of a human, weighing over a ton, erupting from him, Kyle slowly forced the snake’s jaws open again through sheer brute force.

"Have something good to eat!"

With a thought, he drew an Item Card, which transformed into a tangible high-explosive grenade and slipped into the pried-open snake mouth.

Boom!

Several wisps of black smoke rose from its mouth. In pain, the Giant Two-Headed Snake violently twisted its body and crawled faster and faster, darting wildly through the looping underground passage.

"A monster among monsters."

Kyle’s scalp tingled. The alien Two-Headed Snake had swallowed a high-explosive grenade directly and was completely unharmed, apparently feeling nothing more than pain in its abdomen.

Hiss! Hiss!

Kyle’s body was half trapped inside the snake’s mouth. He used his body, as tough as forged steel, to forcibly brace its upper and lower jaws apart. But the Two-Headed Snake suddenly seemed to have an idea and violently rammed its head into the outer wall.

His back slammed into the wall, and the impact forced Kyle entirely into the snake’s mouth. At the same time, the Two-Headed Snake increased its bite force, slowly closing its bloody maw to swallow him whole.

"It won’t be that easy!" Kyle held his breath, pouring all his strength into his limbs. His waist was straight as a dragon, refusing to bend even slightly.

Their fierce struggle became a tug-of-war of pure strength.

The Two-Headed Snake kept smashing its mouth against the outer wall. Already unable to bear the sustained ammunition explosions, the outer wall finally began to crumble.

Kyle desperately held on, but the discomfort in his body intensified. Exhaustion washed over him like a tide, and his strength gradually began to weaken.

Working together with the Two-Headed Snake’s biting and swallowing, its jaws began to gain the upper hand and close.

"Damn it, why now?" Kyle’s eyes widened. The weakness from his Gene Disease had come too suddenly. The abilities granted by his extraordinary physique would temporarily vanish.

And at this critical moment between life and death, once he lost those abilities, even temporarily, it would be fatal!

"Master, don’t give up!" Viss transformed back into Mechanical Life and stood on Kyle’s shoulder. Tiny electric sparks flickered from its hands as it paralyzed the snake’s mouth, but it was clearly too little, too late.

The snake’s mouth closed inch by inch. Just as Kyle was about to be completely swallowed by the darkness of its maw, he suddenly remembered an item in Card Space.

"Right, there’s still that!"

Kyle’s mind swiftly entered Card Space, and he quickly drew an Item Card radiating a dense purple glow.

The card floated within the nearly closed snake mouth, becoming the only source of light in his eyes.

"Become tangible!" Kyle roared inwardly.

The next moment, the purple card returned to its original form: a broken axe with a sharp fractured edge. Its terrifying weight gave it the force of ten thousand pounds as it viciously plunged into the snake’s belly!

With a ripping sound, the broken axe pierced straight through!

Taking a chapter off. Watching League of Legends matches is just too good—IG, awesome.
