After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS

In the dead of night, the rain poured heavily, lightning slashed through the dark sky, illuminating the desolate wilderness.

Ou Chenyu, battered and wounded, ran through the rainstorm, his clothes in tatters, shaking off a mixture of blood and mud with every step.

Vaguely visible, the energy core inside him flickered, very unstable.

Obviously, tearing out someone else's core and installing it in oneself as an emergency measure was too rough; many parameters had not been adjusted, issues were inevitable.

But now he couldn't worry about that; as long as he could keep moving, it was enough.

Running, he arrived at a canyon.

The canyon at night was shrouded in darkness, with the cliffs on both sides faintly visible, like the gaping mouths of giant beasts, the roar of waterfalls drowning out even the thunder above the sky.

This place, "Meteor Canyon," is a scenic spot on the outskirts of New Moon City, known for its waterfall with a drop of over eight hundred meters.

Meanwhile, Meteor Canyon is also the city boundary of New Moon City. Reaching downstream from here, you could access an extensive waterway network, a hopeful escape route to freedom.

Looking at the mountain path ahead, Ou Chenyu recalled his previous encounters and chuckled deeply, "Heh heh, what about Alpha Squad? Didn't I still get past them?"

"The foolish Su Mo is too young and shortsighted. With Meteor Canyon's terrain, if a supreme master were ambushed here, then..."

He stopped mid-sentence, instinctively covering his mouth, warily looking around.

Seeing nothing unusual, he sneered and finished his thought, "Then I would truly be dead without a doubt, hahaha."

"Clang, clang, clang..." Without warning, the cold clanging of metal suddenly sounded.

The entrance to the mountain path, originally pitch-black, suddenly shone with sparks from the clash of blades and stone walls.

Each clang brought it closer to Ou Chenyu, a tangible force pressing towards him like a wall.

Ou Chenyu stood still, stunned. When he saw the figure walking through the rain curtain, he was shocked.

It was a slender girl, her snowy long hair drenched and clinging to her body, contrasting sharply with her black combat uniform.

The girl held a sharp Tang Blade, its blade reflecting the occasional flash of lightning in the sky, the cold light illuminating her pale mask and those cold black eyes.

Seeing Nuobai, Ou Chenyu's eyes widened, cursing, "I must be quite the spectacle, all these legendary figures from New Moon City coming for me in one night!"

"Silent Death God, weren't you supposed to be retired already? Why are you out again?! I have no enmity with you, never even met you, why block my path?!"

Nuobai didn't answer, just rotated her wrist, guiding the Tang Blade to reflect a gleam, the eerie light like a cold star tearing through the darkness, emitting a terrifying killing intent, and even the wind carried the scent of blood.

Knowing that words were useless, Ou Chenyu drew the battle-scarred Fire Lizard Laser Combat Knife from his back, cursing, "Come on then! Let's fight! I don't fear Alpha Squad, why should I fear a Promoted High Tier like you?!"

"Boom—" Nuobai, with few words and ruthless action, vanished in an instant, stirring up a curtain of water that surged towards Ou Chenyu like ocean waves, the blade light occupying his entire vision.

The speed was astonishing; Ou Chenyu instinctively raised his knife to block.

"Clang!" As the blades clashed, he felt an irresistible weight pressing from the knife, the ground beneath his feet cracking.

Ou Chenyu was instantly horrified.

Earlier, he'd heard from intelligence analysts that Silent Death God's Blood Code rank was Promoted High Tier... how could she be this strong?!

"Clang!!" The second strike came violently again, Ou Chenyu couldn't withstand the force, being crushed to his knees, sparks of malfunction erupting from his body.

"Clang!!!" The third strike followed closely, the tremendous force knocking him flying, crashing into the rock wall, the cliff rock layers collapsing, countless debris striking his body.

Ou Chenyu struggled to push off the debris and hadn't managed to get out when he felt a deadly pressure approaching from the front, a chill rapidly creeping towards his head.

Using his hands and feet, he barely escaped the pile of stones, desperately dodging.

As he heard a "clang" by his ear, the Tang Blade grazed his scalp, part of the blade embedding into the rock wall behind, the noise of metal clashing completely drowning out the waterfall's roar.

Seizing the moment when Nuobai's Tang Blade was stuck in the rock wall, Ou Chenyu thrust his knife at her throat.

In Ou Chenyu's judgment, Nuobai would either abandon her blade and retreat or have her throat pierced.

If it's the former, she would lose her weapon.

If it's the latter, even with the Crimson Rose Blood Code's strong regenerative power, such a critical injury like a pierced throat wouldn't be easily recoverable.

He calculated well, but what happened next was entirely unexpected.

Nuobai neither abandoned the blade nor took the damage; those black eyes flashed a cold light, explosive power spread fiercely, the Tang Blade cutting through the rock wall like tofu, directly slashing towards Ou Chenyu's head.

The chill of death spread throughout his body, almost paralyzing him.

"Ah!!!" He bit his tongue to regain consciousness, the energy core taken from Ivan's body began to shine brightly, his prosthetic components forcibly exceeding their limits, entering a second phase of overload.

Previously, from his intense life-and-death struggle with Ivan, both his prosthetic and organic body had suffered severe damage, and this energy core wasn't inherently his own.
