Decades ago, the gods of death in the underworld ushered in a new army, with talents emerging in large numbers.
The fierce competition for talent also started from that time.
Under the gray sky, there is a huge square. Many Death Gods who are already sergeants are standing in every corner, surrounding the group of Death Gods in the square who are participating in the assessment and preparing to be promoted to sergeants. At least for now, they can still only be called
Executor.
"They are a pair of siblings. They all act together as executors. Their tacit understanding is very good." Putting his legs on the table and lazily looking at the data projected in front of him, Blood Crow couldn't help but tremble.
Yawning, "The judgment of ability is... Well, unfortunately, it is a useless level." "Weapon transformation, magnetic attraction, and so on... have no effect at all in our underworld. Even the ability to strengthen the body is better."
Use it." Xuanji, dressed in rich clothes, was lying on the bed specially prepared for her, with four handsome gods of death standing beside her. No matter where she was, this woman was so attentive to pomp and circumstance.
"I don't need this kind of guy under my command." After looking at her brother's ordinary appearance, Xuanji lost even more interest.
"Judging from the actual combat data, these siblings are too weak." Claude sat upright on the chair like a little adult, with his eyes closed, not even bothering to look.
In the square not far away, Eric was kneeling down in front of his opponent. His sister Erica was also defeated neatly.
"Damn it...Damn it..." This is the third time they have participated in the assessment. Earlier, Eric and Erica had evolved Disaster to LV3. However, they failed again and again, making them continue to despair.
, I heard that a LV2 executor was promoted to the status of a sergeant under special circumstances. He was personally selected by Blood Crow, and it seems that his name is Zhuo Ling. Could it be that my ability is completely inferior to him? It is obvious that my disaster is LV3!
Even if the ability is useless, it shouldn’t be like this!
"I'm not convinced..." Eric stood up from the ground, his eyes full of pain. Knowing that his abilities were insignificant, he worked hard to train his basic combat effectiveness, coming again and again, full of hope, until the end
The ending is still the same.
"Does it mean that no matter how hard you try, you can't surpass your talent... I don't accept it!" Standing up, the invigilator who came towards him glanced at him lightly, "Eric, Erica, you two are out, I hope you can
He tried hard once, and then..." "Wait a minute!" Eric suddenly grabbed the opponent's shoulder and stopped the opponent from leaving. However, this action had already offended the majesty of the invigilator, and there was a loud "boom".
After the sound, many Death Gods gathered around, mockingly admiring the scene of Eric's face being severely stepped on the ground.
"The invigilator's words are authority and everything. In the examination room, I need to teach you what will happen to those who offend me." The invigilator, Sergeant Zhen, is a god of death under Claude, even if he has the same status.
As a sergeant's companion, he did not dare to provoke him easily.
"I'm not convinced...Why, why do my sister and I always get rejected? You are basically discriminating against us!" Eric, who was stepped on, was overwhelmed with anger. He kept roaring and hissing, reaching out to grab the opponent.
legs, and then suddenly found that he was picked up directly from the ground by the other party, and was thrown out fiercely. He looked at Eric rolling and struggling on the ground coldly, "Discrimination? You think too highly of yourself. With your siblings'
Your useless abilities are not even qualified to be valued by me. To be honest, I'm tired of it. Even the executors who came after you couldn't beat you in three exams. It's so stupid to say that hard work can surpass talent.
." He walked closer and spat at Eric's distorted expression, "Waste is waste. No matter how hard you work, it won't change. Do you understand?"
The candidates around him burst into wild jeers.
After that, no one paid attention to him anymore.
The exam is over.
Eric sat in the square, staring blankly at the dim sky. Then, there was another person beside him, his sister Erica. Compared to her brother's confusion and anger, she was relatively calm.
This is reality, cold and cruel.
"Sister, when we were still alive, were we very close siblings?" After becoming the God of Death, they will only remember the blood relationship between each other, and all related memories will disappear. However, over the years, we have been ridiculed and despised by our colleagues.
Next, the relationship between Eric and Erica is like the closest brother and sister.
"Who knows." Erica put her hands behind her back and spoke softly.
"I... am already very tired. No matter how hard I try, the result is the same. Can I give up, sister." I have been defeated by the opponent again and again, tried hard, and then was destroyed. I have seen this kind of drama at least three times, "Just
She couldn't even reach out and touch her, even though the title of sergeant was right in front of her eyes." "I don't know either..." Erica was also confused, and would also ask herself whether she had worked hard to train herself, but in the end she was no match for the talent given by God.
.
"Do you think it's painful to work hard?" A sudden voice joined the conversation. The two siblings turned around and saw the tall Death God standing behind them, Mingwei Qiudao.
"Aki...Akimichi-sama!" Eric stood up helplessly, and Erica was also anxious and uneasy.
"It's okay, I just happened to pass by here. You are the brother and sister Shinigami who have participated in the sergeant promotion exam three times." Akido did not praise excessively, nor did he belittle him in any way. He just chatted casually, "Yes... yes, you can
It's such an honor to be remembered by you!" Eric suddenly puffed up his chest in excitement, but then he remembered today's failure, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.
Akido looked at the two of them and continued to care about himself: "I asked you just now, is it painful to work hard? Maybe, you will definitely tell me that it is not painful, but I think it is painful, and talent often overrides hard work.
Even if some people succeed through hard work, it is only a small part." After hearing Akidao's words, the two siblings fell deeper and deeper into the abyss.
"I...we understand." Even Charon's tone sounded like he was persuading himself to give up. Erica finally couldn't bear it and lowered her proud head. "We will give up, recognize the reality, and become a team."
An outstanding executor." Akido watched the expressions of the two siblings gradually become desperate. He was silent for a while thoughtfully, and continued what he had just said: "But I don't hate you two naive fools. You can't compete with your efforts.
So what about talent? So what if we can’t do it despite our efforts? Who are we? We are warriors, warriors of the underworld, warriors who guard this world. We can even call ourselves gods. For warriors, what is important is not talent, but that
It doesn't matter if the person who charges towards the goal is so persistent. God has given every weak person the fairest power, which is... the power to challenge the strong! Work hard, work hard, work hard, don't worry about other people.
Yes, since you have chosen this road, don't think about whether it is rugged or difficult. You just need one thought, get stronger and move forward." These words made the two siblings freeze in place, and it took them a long time to get excited.
When he realized it, Master Akimichi was motivating himself!
"I seem to have said too much. Just choose your own path." Qiudao turned and left, not because of any favor, but because he felt that the two people in front of him had worked hard to persevere until now, and it would be a pity to give up like this.
A few years later, the two passed the exam and were personally accepted by Akimichi into his service.
He slowly stood up from the ground, waving the floating white uniform with his right hand. The scene in front of Eric returned to reality. The enemies were the Moon Rabbit and the Crazy Ape. No, to be precise, there was only one Crazy Ape to deal with.
.
"I remembered a lot of things in the past. I must have slacked off recently, and I was actually injured by a mere human. When I was training hard, I should have been killed before I touched him." He twisted his neck,
Eric adjusted the flow of spiritual energy in his body and grasped the battle ax tightly with his fingers. It was indeed an unexpected attack just now. He underestimated the speed of this ape.
The Moon Rabbit in the distance frowned slightly after seeing Eric standing up as if nothing had happened.
The initial blow just now was also an opportunity to seize the opponent's slack. The mad ape must have used all his strength, but it seemed that it did not cause any damage at all?
"No, the damage is there, but it hasn't been revealed for the time being, and... maybe it's still within his tolerance." The mad ape closest to Eric took a deep breath and bent his body. No matter what, he had to do it as soon as possible.
Defeating his opponent, however, he seemed to see Eric's mocking and sinister smile. The battle ax was thrown out, along with the chain. However, this time the direction it flew to was not the crazy ape, but the moon rabbit in the distance!
The tomahawk was like a launched missile, approaching quickly with a harsh roar.
The body and brain reacted simultaneously.
The Crazy Ape's body was already in front of the Moon Rabbit, and he opened his thick palms to catch the blow.
"As expected, you value this woman very much." Eric's smile as his plan succeeded gave the Crazy Ape an ominous premonition. Then, his body left the ground, and his arms holding the battle ax couldn't move away, "Since
If you value her so much, then it is possible to die for her?" Pulling the chain, Eric threw the mad ape directly into the air, and then smashed it towards the ground, falling violently with a "bang"
With the blow, the mad ape's flesh and blood body smashed a huge hole on the ground, but it was far from over. The body floated into the air again, flying sideways, breaking rows of tall trees along the way, and in consciousness
At the moment when he was almost lost, the Crazy Ape finally separated from the battle axe, glided in mid-air without any force, and finally fell at the feet of the Moon Rabbit.
From the beginning to the end, Moon Rabbit's expression was too calm. Even when the scarred Crazy Ape was lying less than ten centimeters in front of her toes, she never screamed or had a frightened expression.
Eric took the battle ax back in his hand. He wanted to appreciate Yue Rabbit's distorted expression, but finally mocked in disappointment: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that your sacrifice is meaningless. This woman doesn't take you seriously at all."
I mean, poor man." "What did you just do? Since you can only attract iron objects, how did you absorb the body of the mad ape?" Yue Rabbit asked unmoved. She, who had been watching the battle, had
It was obvious that when the mad ape blocked the battle ax for him, the opponent's aura had undergone subtle changes.
"Ah...are you talking about what you just said? That is not my ability. In fact, if my ability is not too mediocre, I will never learn this kind of thing. Ye Wudao has only done this for Netherland
His contribution is to promote the art he developed. Of course, many Shinigami are too lazy to learn the art because they despise humans, thinking that it is a meaningless skill. Only my sister and I will do anything to become stronger.
To absorb it." Turning the black battle ax in his right hand, Eric said with a bit of self-mockery, "The moment this ape touched my axe, I used spiritual energy to bind him to my body.
On top of the weapons, it's a very simple trick, but combined with my weapons, it can exert 150% of its power." "150%... I really dare to say that." The strong arms supported the body, Crazy Ape
He struggled to stand up. Even his strengthened body had already suffered a lot of damage. Several ribs were broken and his internal organs were probably also impacted.
After seeing Yue Rabbit's indifferent gaze, Crazy Ape smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I made you worry." "Really? I don't think you will lose." Yue Rabbit's answer was unusually straightforward, which made Crazy Ape and Ai
Rick was stunned.
"Haha, that's right, I won't lose to him at all." Crazy Ape turned around and bent down, as if he was preparing to continue fighting, "Besides, if it was really 150% of your strength just now, it would be too weak.
." "Huh, arrogant." Eric swung the battle ax and sped up, "Now, let me show you my full strength." The human light in his eyes disappeared, and the mad ape spoke from his mouth.
The harsh roar comes from the awakening of the wild!
"What?" Eric did feel that the opponent had changed somewhere, but before he could take precautions, the mad ape was already in front of him, and his speed became faster than before? "Roar" right fist was very
It hit him hard on the left side of his face, and his whole body staggered back a few steps. By the time Eric stood firm, the wild ape was no longer in sight, "No, it's down there!" It was too late when he lowered his head.
With one step, the mad ape lying on the ground swept its legs ferociously, hitting Eric's feet, causing him to lose his center of gravity and fall to the side, lying on the ground with his legs in the air. When he wanted to get up, the mad ape
The ape reached the top again, merged its legs, and fell from the sky!
It hit Eric's chest, which didn't look very strong.
"Well" it was the pain from the soul, as if the body was almost torn apart, reminding Eric of the long-lost pain.
"How could I... lose to a human being!" The intense pain made Eric calm down. Countless days of hard training, and the moment he was promoted to sergeant, those memories were his motivation to fight.
A human who has turned into a beast cannot continue to be proud!
"Pa", the five fingers of Kuang Ape's left palm spread out and pinched Eric's face, as if he planned to end the battle in one go.
"Now!" Finding a chance to fight back, Eric ignored the pain of his head being crushed, but threw out the chain and wrapped it around the left arm stretched out by the crazy ape, "leave one arm first.
Let's do it!" He suddenly retracted the chain and almost embedded it in the Crazy Ape's arm, and he could still clearly hear the sound of bones breaking.
After all, there is still a fatal difference between humans and the God of Death.
That’s the physical difference!
"Ahhh!" After throwing away Eric, the Crazy Ape rolled backwards and distanced himself. His left arm was already bloody and even became a little twisted.
Eric stood up panting, holding the battle ax in his hand tightly.
Both sides were injured to varying degrees, and the battle would not last long.
"I'm different from you. Human beings will become weaker and weaker due to excessive blood loss and physical exertion. But we, the God of Death, don't need to worry about these problems. The winner... is me." Eric declared confidently.
, but the mad ape did not answer. Now, he has lost the basic ability to speak. He tilted his head, looked at his left arm, and suddenly roared angrily. He only saw that the broken skin was slowly healing.
The healing power of the wild comes into play.
Witnessing this scene, Moon Rabbit sighed silently. The Crazy Ape was recovering faster than usual, which was not good news.
"A protracted war is something none of us want to encounter. Do you know why, Death?" Yue Rabbit looked at Eric with almost pity in his eyes.
"Huh? Stop looking at me with that look, human being!" Eric's dignity was faintly stung by the too familiar look. He is a powerful warrior, so he doesn't need the pity of others!
"The longer the awakening mode lasts, the mad ape will get farther and farther away from humans and closer to monsters. Under normal circumstances, he will not be willing to let me witness it." Yue Rabbit seemed to have seen the ending.
"What..." Eric failed to understand the meaning of Moon Rabbit's words.
However, you will soon understand.
The crazy ape pounced again...
The more ferocious attacks, and the chill that made Eric tremble all over, climbed up his back.
As a god of death, he actually felt... fear?
After a while, the sound stopped.
On the battlefield, calm returned, leaving only the strange sound of chewing.
If you look carefully, you will find that the mad ape is squatting next to Eric who fell to the ground, tearing his body apart and devouring...his soul.
