No good … He's controlling … the Spirit Body Threads … As a senior Beyonder and demigod existence who had interacted with Faceless, Nimblewright Master, and Bizarro Sorcerer, to the point of directly fighting them, Qonas Kilgor wasn't unfamiliar with the present situation. He was even rather familiar with it and had a certain level of understanding.
Therefore, he knew very well that he had fallen into a fatal trap. The amount of time he had to save himself didn't exceed fifteen seconds!
And in these fifteen seconds, his thoughts would become more and more sluggish. Eventually, just thinking of a solution would take him a few seconds, and his stiff body would take quite a bit of time to put his thoughts into action. This also meant that Qonas Kilgor only had slightly more than ten seconds to save himself!
Of course, he had previously considered how to deal with the final few seconds. It was to give up control of his body and reveal his Mythical Creature form, using this to delay the time he was turned into a marionette. He could also use his existence to interfere with the enemy, causing him to suffer a certain impact.
However, this way, even if he successfully escaped his marionette state and even defeated the enemy, Qonas Kilgor wasn't confident that he could continue living.
He wasn't a demigod who could freely switch between human and Mythical Creature forms. He wasn't confident that he could maintain his rationality in his Mythical Creature form.
In other words, by releasing his Mythical Creature form to escape his marionette state, there was a high chance that the "person" Qonas Kilgor would die on the spot, and a monster with the same name would occupy his body.
And it was precisely because of this that Qonas Kilgor wouldn't make such an attempt unless he had no other choice.
Taking advantage of the fact that his thoughts weren't too sluggish and the fact that Revel's Roar of Despair rang in his ears, the military demigod quickly came up with the first plan to save himself.
At a speed that wasn't too slow, he moved his right thumb.
Earl of The Fallen, Magnify!
Qonas Kilgor didn't want to "Magnify" a particular state of his or the attack of a particular Sealed Artifact, but the negative effects of Revel's Roar of Despair!
This strange revolver would occasionally make the wielder hear a roar of despair. To creatures without godhood, this was very serious. It was easy for them to lose control, go crazy, suffer a mental breakdown, or have their minds go blank. And at Sequence 4, due to them possessing the side of a Mythical Creature, the effects of the roar were greatly reduced.
To Qonas Kilgor, the shout only left him in a daze and made him a little irascible. It didn't affect him too much, and he was even beginning to get used to it.
And at that moment, he wanted to magnify the "roar of despair" to the point where even a demigod couldn't withstand it. This would cause his psyche to experience a piercing pain, allowing him to escape the control of the Spirit Body Threads!
As "Magnify" didn't require any obvious actions, it took effect extremely quickly. Opposite him, the German Sparrow, who was holding Death Knell and wearing a half top hat, wasn't able to stop it in time. This allowed the Earl of The Fallen to successfully use this Beyonder power.
But in the next second, what Qonas Kilgor waited for wasn't a terrifying roar, but silence.
The normal "roar" that was still present also disappeared!
This was a random anomaly brought about by the Concerto of Light and Shadow!
How … unlucky … These thoughts slowly flashed through Qonas Kilgor's mind. Without the time to be depressed, he immediately began his second attempt to save himself.
He raised his right hand and aimed Revel's Roar of Despair at the German Sparrow who was 150 meters away. He was about to pull the trigger.
At the same time, the strong winds that were blowing at his right hand suddenly disintegrated from within, quickly dissipating into air currents.
Earl of The Fallen, Chaos!
Qonas used this to resist German Sparrow's interference.
Right on the heels of that, there was a series of banging sounds. Revel's Roar of Despair was like a machine gun, spewing out dangerous bullets without stopping for a long time.
The black-cloaked German Sparrow's body trembled continuously, but he wasn't hit.
The bullets brushed past his silhouette and flew into the distance, shattering the windows and walls of Maygur Manor, causing one of the houses to silently collapse. Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The subsequent storm of bullets continued attacking. Finally, German Sparrow was hit multiple times in a row!
Amidst the splattering of blood, German Sparrow was like a paper figurine in a gale. He constantly swayed and struggled, as though he could be torn apart at any moment.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The strange pistol finally stopped its "roar." As for German Sparrow, apart from his head, every other part of his body had hideous bloody holes.
Typically speaking, this was definitely a state that only a dead person would have, but German Sparrow continued controlling his Spirit Body Threads as though he wasn't affected at all.
The exaggerated wounds on his body were slowly but resolutely healing.
This was the effect of the Flower of Blood ring.
This German Sparrow was essentially Winner Enuni!
The reason why he didn't die from the whirlwind of attacks was because he had released the "luck" he had accumulated. It was because Qonas Kilgor was sufficiently "unlucky"!
And the "roar of despair" brought about by the bullets was equivalent to nothing to a marionette.
Seeing that the violent attacks hadn't achieved the desired effect, and that the time he had to save himself was dwindling, Qonas Kilgor followed the plan he had just thought of. Without any thought, he slowly released his left fingers.
The iron-skinned pocket watch left his palm and fell to the ground.
At this critical moment, Qonas Kilgor decisively abandoned the Concerto of Light and Shadow and made it leave the battlefield so as to avoid the effects of the random anomalies.
Following this, he might only have one or two chances to save himself. If any negative anomalies happened, there was no way to salvage the situation!
As the Sealed Artifact, which was half Order and half Chaos, rapidly plummeted, Qonas Kilgor moved his finger with great difficulty at the rapidly healing German Sparrow's wounds.
He should've had two choices. One was to follow the third method of saving himself that he had originally thought of, acting without thinking. The second was to "magnify" his enemy's injuries, making him die on the spot.
However, while Qonas Kilgor was still able to think quickly, he didn't expect that German Sparrow wouldn't die after being shot so many times. Even his control over his Spirit Body Threads wasn't affected. The plan didn't have a corresponding follow-up.
And at this moment, his mind felt like it was stuffed with paste. He couldn't think too much, and he didn't wish to waste time. All he could do was act according to the plan.
Whoosh!
Wearing a transparent glove and holding a black revolver, German Sparrow was surrounded by strong winds that carried him as he spiraled high into the sky.
Whoosh!
German Sparrow was carried by the strong winds, and under the witness of the gigantic crimson moon, he ran towards the pitch-black night sky.
Earl of The Fallen, Magnify!
The strong winds that helped German Sparrow fly were "magnified" into a tornado!
This way, the distance between him and Qonas Kilgor would quickly be pulled to more than 150 meters. As a result, his marionette transformation would fail!
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the expression on Qonas Kilgor's face, who had yet to escape control, suddenly turned complicated.
The tornado rapidly expanded and swept over. It affected him and threw him high into the sky, preventing him from pulling away from German Sparrow.
How unfortunate.
Under the night sky and the crimson moonlight, the two figures became smaller and smaller.
Soon, the tornado returned to normal, and their upward flight was alleviated.
Seizing this opportunity, Qonas Kilgor's thoughts that were about to freeze gave him another thought.
"Stop …"
He stopped maintaining his flight, and with the help of the earth's gravity, he rapidly plummeted down like a meteor, rapidly opening up a distance between him and German Sparrow.
Then, he ignored the German Sparrow who was riding the strong winds and turned around to chase after him. He slowly pulled his left arm in front of him as though his joints had rusted.
This was the action of "closing the door."
He wanted to use the Distortion of an Earl of The Fallen to create a wall-like seal in the air, preventing German Sparrow from chasing up to him.
At this moment, the marionettes, the German Sparrow, who were still alive, raised their left arms and gestured for a gun to be fired. Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets shot out, blanketing Qonas Kilgor in midair.
By the time the shockwave dissipated, Qonas Kilgor's body had a few bloody holes.
After being hit by the first few bullets and cannonballs, he had used the intense pain and the trembling of his body to finally escape the control of the Spirit Body Threads, allowing him to regain the speed of his thoughts.
Following that, he "Disrupted" the subsequent shots at the critical moment and "Distorted" the injuries he suffered. Ultimately, he didn't die, but was severely injured.
As for the German Sparrow, who was falling from a high altitude with many mystical items in hand, he was blocked by the invisible wall he created, preventing him from chasing up to him.
With another "Distortion," Qonas Kilgor's falling speed instantly slowed down as he gently landed on the ground.
Before he could do anything else, his body stiffened again as he stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
He felt that his hands and feet were resisting him, no longer listening to his commands. He felt that there was an unfamiliar object hidden in his body!
Then, under the illumination of the gigantic crimson moon, a figure walked out of the master's room in Maygur Manor and stood on the balcony.
He had black hair and brown eyes. He wore a silk top hat and a black trench coat. His facial features were chiseled and cold. He was another German Sparrow.
This German Sparrow's right hand was also in a shooting stance. Then, he retracted it and brought it to his mouth to blow at it.
This was Klein himself.
What he had just shot wasn't an Air Bullet, but a Parasitic Bullet that had been pushed out with the strength of an Air Bullet!
A Parasitic Bullet made from a Worm of Time left behind by Amon's avatar!
It could create a Worm of Time that couldn't live for long, allowing it to "Parasitize" the target's body, allowing the user to control it.
Klein had deliberately taken out the bullet and held it in his hand because he was waiting for an opportunity. He was waiting for Qonas Kilgor to throw away the Concerto of Light and Shadow while in a state where he couldn't dodge or Distortion.
The former was already foreseeable after the Earl of The Fallen had his Spirit Body Threads under initial control. This was because he wouldn't allow random anomalies to affect his ability to save himself. As for the latter, patience was needed.
Just now, his patience had paid off. An opportunity had appeared. Klein was the first to raise his hand and shoot. Without the interference of the random anomalies, he accurately shot the Parasitic Bullet into Qonas Kilgor's body!
If it wasn't a Deceit Bullet but a Deprivation Bullet that had taken effect previously, it would have been a different method of attack.
Temporarily unable to control his body, Qonas Kilgor looked at the German Sparrow on the balcony. Under the gigantic crimson moon, he took off his top hat, pressed his hand to his chest, and bowed slightly.
As his black trench coat fluttered, even his thoughts turned sluggish.
