Lan Mu had to die. This was the belief that Bast had locked in his heart.
This was the result of the contract with 001. Just like Victor, Bastet would follow this belief and fight to the death no matter what.
Lan Mu could not help but smile bitterly at Bastet's sudden change, but it was within his expectations.
Perhaps if he had compromised earlier, the situation would not have deteriorated so quickly, but he knew that the outcome would have been the same.
No matter what, Bastet would have chosen to sign the contract when he was in a desperate situation.
This was definitely a situation he would have to face.
The situation had deteriorated to such an extent that Bastet had suddenly become stronger. He knew that 001 would not let him obtain the power of the Kaleidoscope so easily.
He would definitely not accept the so-called win-win situation. Once Bastet escaped, even if he took a thousand steps back and did not oppose him, he would still play hide and seek with him. Lan Mu would not be able to do anything to him. This was a result that Lan Mu could not accept.
Because if Lan Mu wanted to live, if he wanted to reach the end … he had to obtain all of Bastet's power, and this was the key to defeating the Executor. Otherwise, if the Executor appeared within 500 days, with his current strength, how could he deal with the Executor?
If he could not even deal with one Bastet, and instead thought about how to settle things peacefully, when the Executor appeared, he would just surrender and wait for death.
No matter how difficult it was to deal with Bastet, it was still better than the Executor.
The Executor was 001's physical form! Against such an existence, Lan Mu would not have any chance of survival unless he improved himself to a certain level.
After seeing Bastet become stronger, Lan Mu's first thought was to defeat him! Steal his information and transform into his own!
Success! Then he would have the power to fight the Executor. If he failed, everything would be over.
Lan Mu had made this decision countless times.
Lan Mu began to think of a solution.
Now, Lan Mu had one less worry. Bastet had to kill him because of the contract. There was no other way.
Now that he was far away from the Milky Way, he could do whatever he wanted. If he had any misgivings, he could just escape to another universe. Bastet would definitely chase after him.
The adversity was that Bastet seemed to have at least obtained the characteristic of unlimited energy.
Just based on this point alone, Lan Mu would have a hard time dealing with him. At the very least, the Five-colored Divine Light would be useless.
"Ha!"
A massive energy bomb with a diameter of seventy-six million kilometers smashed down.
This power made countless amino creatures dumbfounded, and their bodies went soft.
However, this was a piece of cake for Lan Mu. With a wave of its hand, it changed the trajectory of the huge vitality bomb and headed towards the Ruins of the Abyss.
This amount of energy seemed to be a lot, but it was actually just a small amount for the Abyss.
Victor's Eight Billion Void Cannon Array was the most powerful. In the higher dimensions, it could destroy eight billion star systems at the same time. In a few minutes, it could even plough through the entire Milky Way.
This was due to the difference in productivity. Victor had a powerful level 6 productivity, and with enough energy, he could create eight billion Void Cannons in an instant.
However, Bastet's methods were just average. Even though he had obtained unlimited energy, his first attack was still an energy bomb, which greatly reduced the efficiency of his unlimited energy.
"If that's all … Bastet, your freedom is really cheap."
Lan Mu didn't need to hide his unlimited energy anymore. Using the huge amount of energy together with Sargeras's ability, he forcefully tore the space apart and opened a thirty-million-kilometer hole behind him.
Bastet's Kaleidoscope rotated a few times, and then its appearance changed from the Golden-Hooped Rod to a human form. Its appearance was similar to Lan Mu, but it was much more exquisite, and its temperament was completely different. Dressed in black, Zhang Yang didn't hide his demonic nature at all.
"Is that so?" Bastet smiled devilishly, and the corners of his mouth curved into a crescent moon. Coupled with his strange rhombus-shaped eyes, he looked even more demonic.
Lan Mu frowned. He didn't use the shaping algorithm in front of him, but Bastet actually knew how to do it.
He suddenly had a bad feeling, and thought that 001 must have given him an incredible ability.
"What big gift did 001 give you to deal with me? Let me think, with how much it values me, could it have made you a GM directly? Ha … Then I surrender! "Lan Mu sneered.
Bastet's face was gloomy. He was very unhappy with Lan Mu's words.
He said, "Hmph, my strongest ability is still my own ability! 001 only allowed my eyes … to see more! It only helped a little! "
Although he had accepted the contract, he didn't want Lan Mu to say that he relied on 001. What he was most proud of was that he was born with extremely strong abilities, and his potential was unprecedented.
"Hehe, you're quite arrogant." Lan Mu's expression didn't change, but he had already guessed Bastet's ability in his heart.
It was probably the ability to detect information. To use a non-standard term, it was the ability to 'see' information.
Until now, Lan Mu could only see information in the Life Sphere. Even if it was the Five-colored Divine Light, it could only count as half of it. This was because in the Five-colored Divine Light, he could know what an information point represented, but he didn't know what information was contained in that information point.
Also, back in the two-dimensional world, he used the GM authority to cheat and directly see through the information of all things.
That was undoubtedly a more convenient way. Lan Mu now realized that Bastet might have obtained this kind of detection ability.
Lan Mu could tamper with the algorithm and transfer the algorithm. Together with his detection ability, he could tamper with information and transfer the information.
Bastet knew how to copy information. Together with his detection ability, as long as he could see the information of all living things, he could copy it to himself. He was simply too powerful.
But fortunately, Bastet's ability could only copy information of living things. This restriction still existed. Otherwise, Lan Mu would really have surrendered.
As for why Lan Mu was so sure, it was because if Bastet could copy the characteristics of non-living things, the first thing he should do was copy the characteristics of the Abyss. But Bastet didn't do so.
"Phew, at least I'm not in the most desperate situation. I can only copy information of living things. Who in this world is stronger than me? In other words, he's at most as strong as me … And I … have an additional trump card, the Life Sphere! "
In this way, Lan Mu wasn't in the most desperate situation, because he still had a theoretical possibility of defeating his opponent.
While he was thinking quickly in his mind, Bastet wasn't idle on the other side.
Bastet kept browsing Lan Mu's information, and his scalp was numb! He was both excited and scared.
He was excited because Lan Mu had too many terrifying and powerful abilities. If he could copy them, no one in this world would be able to stop him!
He was scared because fortunately, Lan Mu didn't kill him before. If Lan Mu really wanted to kill him, he could have killed him when he gave up Bastet's metal body and escaped from Lan Mu.
But Lan Mu didn't do that because he wanted to obtain his abilities.
"Hahaha! Your abilities are all mine! Lan Mu! You will die because of your greed! You tried to obtain my abilities in vain, but you'll still die by my hands! " Bastet crazily copied all kinds of information, prioritizing absolute information, and constantly making himself stronger. While he was stealing and 'copying' Lan Mu's abilities, he was also crazily mocking Lan Mu's stupidity.
Lan Mu said leisurely, "Greed? This is competition! "
"I'm competing, you're also competing … If you don't compete, you'll be doomed eternally. You were forced, but I was also forced to do the same. Time doesn't allow me to stay where I am. If I don't become stronger, I'll die. "
Hearing this, Bastet said angrily, "Ha! I was forced by you, wasn't I? You bastard! I wanted to be free in the world, but you forced me to fight to the death with you. This is all your fault! "
Lan Mu's eyes were empty, and he actually smiled.
He said, "You're right, Bastet. Just take it that you're blaming me. Victor was also like this back then. He blamed me for not dying obediently … Haha, but I've never blamed you for anything."
Bastet was stunned and looked at Lan Mu in surprise. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
From the beginning to the end, Lan Mu had never blamed him. He simply wanted to deal with him, obtain his abilities, and contend with him. Even so, Lan Mu, who was the enemy on the surface, had never said that Bastet was' unpardonably evil 'or' sinful '.
Lan Mu didn't blame Bastet for any of his choices, but faced them calmly.
He simply stated everything, and his words carried an inexplicable sense of seeing through everything.
Lan Mu saw Bastet's confusion and smiled. "Your enemy is only me, but my enemy isn't only you … I have my own goals. I know what I want to do, and I'll do it. Your suggestion is really unrealistic, and I can't accept it. Just like how you can't accept handing your life over to me, if I say that I'll let you go after I strip you of your abilities, you'll still have freedom. Even if you don't have the ability to copy, you'll still be able to move unhindered in the universe with the ability you've copied. If I told you about such a suggestion, would you agree? "
Bastet was silent.
Lan Mu smiled. "You wouldn't agree, so I didn't even bother to mention it. I naturally had my reasons for not killing you before. Even now, I don't regret it. Just take it as my greed. If I die because of this, there's nothing to be upset about. Since I can't even defeat you, how can I be an Agent? "
"Just like how I had no choice, you also had no choice in that situation. In the end, you gave up your freedom and became a contractor. To me, this is a huge problem, almost to the point of despair. However, I don't blame you at all, because to you … this is the 'right' choice. "
Bastet stared blankly at Lan Mu. It turned out that Lan Mu had already seen through his thoughts. In the current situation, even though Lan Mu seemed to be at a disadvantage, he had already accepted it. He wasn't surprised, and he didn't complain at all.
He had pushed all the blame onto Lan Mu, but Lan Mu didn't blame him at all.
At this moment, Lan Mu was extremely calm. He saw everything so clearly, as if he was watching from a high vantage point. His vision was at an unimaginable height.
To be honest, Bastet couldn't understand how far Lan Mu could see.
However, he realized one thing.
That was, even if he, Bastet, could copy all of Lan Mu's abilities, and even Lan Mu's Mind Expanse, Intelligence, Calm Instinct, and so on …
He was still him, and Lan Mu would always be Lan Mu. The two of them were ultimately worlds apart.
