I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Su Ze reacted instantly. He immediately formed his armament into a large, umbrella-like shield above his head, covering both himself and Chen Suifeng.

Chen Suifeng, standing beside Su Ze, was also within range of the golden feathers’ attack.

But the golden feathers were layered and incredibly dense, falling like rain.

The umbrella-shield only blocked the first volley of golden feathers. The ceaseless stream that followed instantly riddled it full of holes, turning it into a sieve, and continued to slash down toward Su Ze and Chen Suifeng.

Seeing there was no escape, a look of resolve hardened in Chen Suifeng’s eyes.

He charged forward and slammed into Su Ze.

’The hope of the Human Race rests on your shoulders. Carry on my will and live!’

He didn’t say a word, but his eyes clearly conveyed that message.

BAM!

Su Ze stumbled from the impact, staggering back two or three meters, but he was still within the attack range of the golden feathers.

’Is he crazy? Why the hell did he just slam into me for no reason?’

Su Ze was completely bewildered.

Chen Suifeng was bewildered, too... ’What the hell, why are you so heavy? Did you swallow a scale weight, kid?’

’It’s over. All my effort was for nothing...’ As he watched the golden feathers about to descend on his head, despair filled Chen Suifeng’s eyes.

And just as quickly, Su Ze understood Chen Suifeng’s intention.

’He’s trying to sacrifice himself to save me?’

’Using his own sacrifice to make me remember him forever, so I’ll inherit his will and bear the responsibility of saving humanity?’

’Isn’t that how it’s always written in novels?!’

’Some supporting character who’s like a mentor and a friend to the protagonist sacrifices his life to make the hero grow, forcing him to take responsibility and save the world.’

’But... I don’t fucking want to!’

’Did you even ask me? Did I agree to this?’

’This kind of cliché isn’t allowed in the script for my life!’

’Get lost!’

Su Ze used Space Jump to appear beside Chen Suifeng, kicking him out of the golden feathers’ attack range.

At the same time, his entire body underwent Liquefaction. His form expanded as he faced the sky full of feathers head-on.

Watching Su Ze get engulfed by the golden feathers, Chen Suifeng squeezed his eyes shut in agony, unable to bear the sight.

In his eyes, Su Ze was the hope of the Human Race. He would rather die a hundred or a thousand times over than see that hope be extinguished.

Su Ze, having expanded to thousands of times his normal size, was dismembered by the dense barrage of golden feathers, sliced into countless pieces. Each feather was imbued with a sharp Qi Force, making its lethal range far greater than it appeared.

SPLASH... Su Ze splattered onto the ground as pools of liquid, but they immediately began to converge again.

In his liquid state, while not completely immune to physical attacks, he could virtually ignore them.

Chen Suifeng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Su Ze was unharmed.

His judgment had been clouded by worry, but it was also because the oppressive presence of the Golden Falcon was simply too intense.

Though both were Tier 6 mutant beasts, the Golden Falcon felt like it was in a completely different league than beasts like the Two-headed White Tiger. The gap in power was enormous.

As his body re-formed, Su Ze casually electrocuted a few low-tier mutant beasts to extend the duration of his Bloodthirsty skill. He had maxed out the stacks for Bloodthirsty’s power boost back in Lihai City and had been maintaining it ever since by farming the beasts caged on the airship.

Thus, he was still enjoying the full bonus from Bloodthirsty.

In this state, when combined with skills like ”Expansion,” he possessed Legendary Combat Power.

As he finished re-forming into the shape of a giant liquid man, the Golden Falcon in the sky finally descended through the clouds, revealing its form.

”It’s that one! The legendary king of the Myriad Beast Mountain Range!”

”The Golden Falcon! The king of kings of the Myriad Beast Mountain Range!”

Someone recognized the Golden Falcon and cried out in alarm.

Chen Suifeng’s expression also grew grim. He had clearly heard stories about the Golden Falcon. He sent a telepathic message to Su Ze: ”This beast became famous near the end of the War of Evolution. It once clashed with the legendary Lin Hua. It was already a Tier 6 mutant beast five hundred years ago. I can’t believe it’s still alive today! Su Ze, you must be careful.”

This Golden Falcon may have lived for over a thousand years. It was part of the first wave of mutant beasts after Blue Star’s Era of Evolution began. It was also one of the first on Blue Star to reach Tier 4 Saint-level, and one of the very earliest to advance to Tier 6.

A human Legendary-grade evolver has a lifespan of five or six hundred years at the absolute most. And even if they reach that age, their bodies are old and frail, their strength completely spent, just like Mr. Ke.

But clearly, this thousand-year-old Golden Falcon was still at the peak of its power and showed no signs of decline.

Although the Human Race, as one of the Intelligent Races, surpasses mutant beasts in most aspects, when it came to longevity, many mutant beasts held the advantage.

Hearing this, Su Ze regarded the Golden Falcon with even greater caution.

Just as Legendary-grade evolvers varied in strength, so too did the power levels of Tier 6 mutant beasts.

And this Golden Falcon was, without a doubt, a top-tier powerhouse among them.

Su Ze guessed the Golden Falcon’s power might be comparable to the Mirage King’s.

If the Two-headed White Tiger was an A-rank or B-rank Tier 6 beast, then the Golden Falcon was unequivocally S-rank.

Su Ze immediately activated his strongest combat form. Combined with the full bonus from Bloodthirsty and wielding his Tier 6 weapon armament, he was now in his most powerful state.

Sensing the terrifying, shudder-inducing aura radiating from Su Ze, Chen Suifeng, who had planned on providing support from the sidelines, knew this was no longer a battle he could take part in.

”Catch!” Chen Suifeng tossed his Tier 6 Beast Tail Whip to Su Ze. It was the only help he could offer.

Su Ze caught the Beast Tail Whip. With the whip in his left hand, his armament in his right transformed into a hundred-meter-long greatsword. He then fired a Gravity Chain toward the Golden Falcon in the sky.

The Golden Falcon’s gaze was arrow-sharp. It actually tracked the trajectory of the Gravity Chain and flicked a single feather from its wing, blocking the chain mid-flight.
