Survival of the fittest, the special ability of the lord sequence.
"King" once said, [lord] is different from other sequences, its own characteristics are quite rich, and survival of the fittest is just the most basic usage.
In this regard, Yun You didn't care much because the current performance of survival of the fittest was already quite strong.
Earlier, when fighting against Taishui, she used the "deterioration" ability, temporarily deteriorating Taishui's heart, causing its beating to instantly decrease, achieving the effect of paralyzing Taishui's body.
And now, she intends to use this ability on Yang Lie.
"Deterioration."
Yun You murmured.
Buzz——
The next moment, the golden balance scale suddenly shook violently, and then, a bit of black aura suddenly emerged, dyeing the entire scale into ink color.
And on the surface of the scale, a "equals sign" pattern slowly emerged.
"Please select a target."
The teasing voice of "King" came from within the scale.
Yun You looked at Yang Lie.
Under her gaze, the body of the Apprentice Death God was laid bare.
Internal organs, brain, skeletal nerves, and even the ethereal soul, were all seen clearly by Yun You.
Without a moment's hesitation, the little girl directly extracted Yang Lie's heart from a distance and placed it on the left tray of the scale.
The scale slightly sank, and then another line of text appeared.
[Deterioration Target: Tier Two Apprentice Death God Heart]
[Deterioration Effect: Instant aging 90%, Function decline 95%]
[Equivalent Exchange Rate: 1 to 0.7]
The so-called equivalent exchange rate actually refers to the cost Yun You has to pay and the proportion of the deterioration effect.
As a privileged "King," naturally she wouldn't need to pay a cost completely equal to the deterioration effect and would receive a certain degree of "discount".
For example, she imposes deterioration on a person, causing the opponent's organs to lose 100% functionality for 10 seconds... but she herself would only lose 70% of organ function, for 7 seconds.
Previously, her equivalent exchange rate with Taishui was 1 to 1.2.
And now, the reason for the 1 to 0.7 "loss" ratio is because Yang Lie himself is stronger, his life level is higher, so Yun You must pay more to deteriorate this guy.
But this is not a big problem.
Because the free choice of deterioration targets greatly compensates for the shortcomings...
After a little thought, Yun You extracted three phantom organs from her abdomen.
Appendix, duodenum, left kidney...
Yes, this is where the power of the survival of the fittest ability lies.
Although equivalent exchange is viewed as the most basic rule, it never said that the same organs need to be exchanged...
Yun You can completely use her less important and non-lethal organs to deteriorate the opponent's brain or heart! Directly affecting the outcome of the combat.
And in fact, this is exactly what she did.
"The equivalent exchange principle has been satisfied, a fair trade is now in effect."
"Enjoy the 'Monarch' privilege!"
The King laughed, and then, along with the balance scale, slowly faded away.
Time resumed, as if nothing had happened.
But suddenly... as Yang Lie was throwing a punch, his step paused, and his body seemed to be electrified, standing still in place.
His strength hadn't disappeared, the limbs created by "Wolf Blood Pursuit" were still there, burning in midair, emitting a scorching energy aura.
But he couldn't move, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take a step!
He looked down incredulously at his chest.
Yang Lie knew where the problem was.
Half a second ago, his heart suddenly trembled violently, hurting him into a daze, and his heart rate suddenly reached at least 300!
However, under such violent beating, the heart's ability to supply blood decreased by at least ninety percent! Directly stripping him of his ability to move.
Yang Lie even felt that the piece of meat beating inside his chest wasn't his original heart, but the organ of a dying old man, on the verge of stopping at any moment.
As it turned out, he wasn't wrong.
The "aging" displayed on the scale was in the literal sense of senescence.
And this aging wasn't a fixed number of years but a proportional aging.
Yang Lie's body was healthy, if he stopped training and remained a Tier Two Apprentice Death God for life, he could probably live up to 300 years.
And now, Yun You's aging directly brought his heart to the state of being 270 years old.
This is an age where one would be bedridden, needing care from others 24 hours a day.
That heart now couldn't even allow Yang Lie to go to the bathroom on his own, let alone provide a young Apprentice Death God the freedom to act?
Of course, Yun You also wasn't feeling all that great.
The simultaneous deterioration of the appendix, duodenum, and left kidney left her somewhat weakened too.
However... compared to Yang Lie, who couldn't even stand properly, this little issue was nothing at all.
"I thought to survive, you would truly repent."
Yun You shook her head and said calmly: "At least pretend, act like you're going to repent in front of me."
"But now it seems, I overestimated you, scum."
"Die."
Having said that, the little girl without any hesitation laboriously raised the Red Scale Giant Claw.
Her body wasn't tired or in a state of exhaustion.
Ever since she completely devoured Taishui, her physique had undergone a qualitative leap.
This enhancement did not manifest in strength or speed, but in her stamina.
She felt as if she possessed inexhaustible energy, previously she could only unleash the Red Scale Weapon four or five times even by over-exerting her body, but now, she could keep going non-stop.
But indeed, she was somewhat mentally exhausted, even the pleasure of revenge was slowly abating.
"Let's finish this quickly."
Yun You thought, then directly plunged the massive blade into Yang Lie's chest.
Splurt——!
Yang Lie's eyes widened, blood vessels surfaced in his eyeballs, as if they were about to burst from their sockets.
The threat of death, along with pain, washed over his brain.
After all these years, he finally experienced the suffocating feeling of impending death up close.
The instinct to survive made him clench his teeth, straining his muscles with all his remaining strength in a vain attempt to resist the blade.
Simultaneously, he tried to compress his heart, hoping this aging organ could still play one last part.
Perhaps due to an adrenaline rush, he actually managed to move a finger, slightly bending an arm...
But at that moment, a silvery light suddenly shimmered at the joints all over his body!
And then...
Chop~ chop~ chop!
Thousands of silver metals frantically pierced through Yang Lie's body, creating small wounds all over him.
They seemed insignificant, causing little damage... but they precisely severed Yang Lie's arteries, completely cutting off all the ligaments and nerves at his joints!
"Wow!"
The bloody limbs created by "Wolf Blood Pursuit" could no longer maintain themselves, dissolving into a pool of pus and blood, splattering onto the ground.
The silver metal responsible for all of this slowly floated out of Yang Lie's body, flying into Yun You's palm...
