Chapter 36: The Impossible Task – Section 9

“Die!!”
A furious scream filled with murderous intent, its anger capable of burning the sky. Even Fat Henry was stunned for a moment, a chill spreading through his heart. At that exact moment, those sharp black bones shot in like lightning from beneath his right rib and out through his left shoulder!!
A blood hole the size of a bowl appeared instantly on Henry’s obese body. Streams of bright red blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing all over his black hair and face.
From Black Hair’s perspective, he could even see the internal organs writhing inside the wound.
Feeling a sense of relief, a cold smirk appeared on Black Hair’s lips. The black bone in his left arm suddenly emitted a clear cracking sound before disintegrating into thin black threads. Soft and smooth, they slowly slipped out of the wound.
The threads were soft, smooth, and had a shiny black color, just like a beauty’s hair. If it weren’t for that lightning-fast strike earlier, no one would have guessed that such a delicate thing could be a deadly weapon. Nor would they have imagined it possessed invincible strength.
In fact, Black Hair himself didn’t know how he had done it.
As he had guessed, his nervous system had already been completely severed, leaving him unable to control his body. But for some reason, during his furious rage, a mysterious force emerged in his mind, instantly connecting him to his most aggressive arm. In his rage, Black Hair hesitantly grasped this deadly weapon and delivered a fatal strike.
But was it really fatal?
Relaxed as he was, Black Hair didn’t consider this. Until… that familiar laugh rang out in the fighting room again.
“Hehe. What powerful murderous intent… Young man, I never expected you to have such abilities. You can still control your body even after my nervous system was severed. Is this the power described in the genetic map? I’m growing increasingly curious.”
What!? Black Hair’s eyes widened in shock; he couldn’t believe his ears!!
The wound ran diagonally from below up through his entire chest cavity, twisting all his internal organs beyond recognition. Such injuries would likely be fatal to any creature. How could this fat guy… still seem fine? Not even his annoying smile had changed?

Blood continued to gush, turning Henry’s clothes blood-red. He stretched out a finger, dipped it in the blood, and put it in his mouth, sucking on it a few times. His small eyes narrowed with laughter.
“Mmm, quite good. How many years? It’s been so long since I’ve suffered such severe injuries. Haha. Young man, you know what? You really surprised me. I never knew bones could change this much in color. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed such changes could occur in a human. Tsk tsk.” As he made these sounds, the fat Henry laughed while licking his finger repeatedly, cleaning off all the sticky blood before finally sighing in satisfaction.
“Great. So my blood is still sweet. This makes me even more convinced that I’m still alive.”
“How did you do that?” The black-haired man stared at the incredible scene in front of him for a long time before finally speaking.
“How did I do it? That’s a long story.” Henry smiled slightly and touched the wound under his right rib. Miraculously, the huge hole in his flesh began to shrink and heal at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, it returned to its original state, with not even a trace of scar left on his fleshy flesh.
The black-haired man’s pupils contracted as he suddenly thought of the regenerative ability of the Core. How similar this scene was!
He was the creator of the Core. No wonder… His heart grew colder.
Could it be that he was truly powerless?
Meanwhile, Henry, seemingly unaware of the black-haired man’s feelings, continued to laugh and say, “You’re fighting so hard just for this gene map? But what options do you have now? With your nerves severed, you’re just a cripple. And that killer of yours can only be used once, right? That kid once told me not to underestimate you. But now I see no danger from you at all.”
Saying this, he pointed at the healed wound and shook his head. “If that’s all your ability, then a few more attacks won’t matter. Since I can create infinitely regenerative cells, I can also endow my body with those abilities. It’s just a penetrating wound—nothing serious. Maybe chopping off my head will kill me?”
At the same time, the small black crystal in front of the black-haired man suddenly emitted a faint glow, and the familiar voice of the Core rang in his heart once again.

“Black Hair, give up? The Father God is immortal. He doesn’t want to hurt you either. He just wants to know the contents of that gene map. Trust me, he won’t destroy it. After he analyzes it, you’ll still be the same as before.”
“Is that so? Even you are going to betray me?” Hearing Nuo’s voice, Black Hair was initially stunned. Then his face twitched, as if he were smiling—a grotesque smile.
“Fine. He’s your Father God, your creator. You can’t resist him. I don’t blame you.”
“But!!” Black Hair’s voice suddenly rose, his eyes turning blood red in an instant. “You don’t understand. As long as I’m alive, I won’t allow anyone to touch that map! Not even your Father God!! Yes, I can’t be killed, but that doesn’t mean I can’t resist!!”
“What? Wait!! Black Hair, don’t…” Nuo’s voice suddenly rose in panic as he realized something. At the same time, Henry, who had been standing by, also froze slightly, letting out a soft exclamation.
“Pfft!” A gush of blood sprayed from Black Hair’s mouth. Amidst the bright red blood, his voice sounded like that of a vengeful spirit.
“I swear by Black Hair’s name—unless Huaguo truly rises and becomes a dragon among the heavens, no one shall obtain this map. As long as I live, the map exists. If I die, the map vanishes!!”
The once-made oath was spat out word by word by Black Hair, each word seemingly carrying his immense pain. His once resolute face was twisted beyond recognition. The mouthfuls of blood made his face look monstrous like a ghost. By the time he said the last few words, his eyes seemed about to burst.
Suddenly, a shrill screech came from the stone slab beside the jade platform. Henry’s smile vanished completely. In horror, he realized that just those few words had caused his life energy, accumulated over countless years, to increase its consumption drastically—many times more than before. At the same time, the data he had just obtained became chaotic. The golden heart was pounding loudly, even showing signs of surging.
“Damn it, he’s committing suicide!!!”
In the blink of an eye, Henry finally understood what this human intended to do. He was going to kill himself!! Although he didn’t know what method he used, the rapid consumption of life energy was proof enough. The life energy connected earlier to save Black Hair’s heart had now truly saved his life. Otherwise, based on the energy consumption shown in the data, Black Hair would have died dozens of times by now!!

Yet Henry knew this was merely a temporary fix. If Blackhair truly wished to die, no amount of life energy could save him—because he had completely extinguished his own vitality. Even with an astronomical amount of life energy, it could only provide temporary relief.

Was it worth it? I don’t want to destroy your map, nor take it. I’m just analyzing it. Is it worth refusing with your life? Also, that ability to commit suicide must come from those strange genes, right? How can I bear to give them up?

For a moment, Henry’s thoughts raced, his expression shifting rapidly. His sweet smile was gone. Seeing his state, Core beside him became panicked, emitting chaotic frequency waves frantically.

“Father God, Father God! Please save him! He’s my companion—he can’t die! He must not die!”

Companion? Another human emotion. I didn’t expect this little guy to have evolved so highly. Amidst his chaotic thoughts, Henry suddenly had this idea—but he didn’t notice that due to the massive loss of vitality, Blackhair’s eyes now shone a hundred times brighter than usual.

In the ancient language of Earth’s Huaguo, this is called a final flicker of life!!

Silently, the once-destroyed black threads surged again, springing up like venomous snakes. From soft hair, they instantly transformed into sharp blades. Amidst Core’s horrified screams, they swung through the air!!

The dark blades left layers of illusions in the fighting room, sweeping past Fat Henry’s head as well. With a soft crack, his head was severed. A thick gush of blood sprayed from his neck. Henry’s massive head rolled through the air, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

“Hehe, hahaha… cough cough…” Laughing maniacally, Blackhair spat out blood in big gulps, yet his eyes showed satisfaction.

“This… was what you said yourself… cough cough… cutting off the head would kill you. Now… I can finally rest easy…”

“Blackhair!!!” Core screamed. “What are you doing?! Are you insane?! Only Father God can save you here!!”

“And so what?” Blackhair shrugged indifferently, his face twisting again. “Cough cough… If he wants my secrets, he must die…”

“It’s just… I still haven’t revealed the coordinates of this universe… I… really can’t accept it…” His voice grew weaker. Blackhair felt the scene before him growing blurrier. He knew this was a sign of impending death.

In the dim light, the black-haired figure saw with satisfaction as the obese headless corpse swayed and fell to the ground. Everything around was pitch black…
