Becoming God of a Dystopian World

Zhao Luo swooped towards the level 50 puppet.

"Show me what you got."

Zhao Luo shouted as he closed in on the puppet while swinging Ifrit and Blackey 2.0 in a cross form.

"Cross Wood Drop."

Zhao Luo shouted the name of his technique.

Zhao Luo had thought of this method on the spot 

Instead of bringing both swords down on the puppet while using 'wood drop,' Zhao Luo decided to empower Ifrit. He used 'Wood Drop' of blackey 2.0 on Ifrit and then simultaneously used Ifrit to perform another 'Wood Drop.'

'Clang, Clang.'

Zhao Luo's Ifrit came in contact with the sword arms of the puppet.

The collision caused sparks to fly around Ifrit and the sword arms of the level 50 'Second Sword Warrior: Dual (Trickery).'

The puppet was pushed away by Zhao Luo's Ifrit, which was boosted by 'Blackey 2.0'.

Zhao Luo followed the puppet without giving it any space to reverse the momentum on him.

'Clang, Clang.'

Zhao Luo kept on swinging his swords at the puppet. The level 50 puppet couldn't do anything except block Zhao Luo's attack.

"Eat my Dual Burst Drop."

Zhao Luo shouted as he brought down both Ifrit and Blackey on the puppet's shoulder.

Surprisingly the puppet didn't dodge it neither tried to block Zhao Luo's swords.

Instead, it just went ahead with pushing its sword arms towards Zhao Luo's stomach.

"I am not backing down."

Zhao Luo screamed as he faced the puppet's attack head on; and instead of just facing it, he sped up his sword swing.

'SWOOSH.'

Zhao Luo's swords sliced the puppet's body from its shoulder to its abdomen as Zhao Luo's swords stopped there.

Bang!

The puppet's sword arms were stopped before even coming in contact with Zhao Luo's abdomen.

It was a semi-visible shield. The shield had an image of a Lion beating a drum.

"DRION!"

Zhao Luo exclaimed as he could see and feel the shield covering him like a barrier.

The recoil from hitting the shield struck back at the puppet, throwing it away from Zhao Luo.

"Creak."

The puppet screamed as it went flying in the silver space.

Thud!

The puppet dropped on the ground with a great impact causing the other destroyed bodies of the puppets to bounce up and fall on it.

Zhao Luo had partially destroyed the puppet, and now it was buried under a pile of other puppets.

"Is it over?"

Zhao Luo questioned as he raised his eyebrow and looked around, waiting for the 'clapping' sound to enter his ears.

He waited, but he couldn't hear anyone clapping.

"This could only mean."

Zhao Luo squinted his eyes as he looked at the pile of the destroyed puppets.

"Where is it?"

Zhao Luo tried to find the level 50 puppet, but he couldn't see its status anywhere.

Thus Zhao Luo moved towards the mountain of puppets to find and destroy the last boss once and for all.

"Come out, you puppet."

Zhao Luo insulted the level 50 puppet as there could be nothing worse than calling it a puppet.

'Cling, Clang, Cling, Clang.'

Sounds of metal clashing started coming out from under the pile of the puppets.

The destroyed puppets whose names had turned gray after being destroyed by Zhao Luo glowed once again.

'Tap, Tap, Tap.'

A puppet got out from under the pile of the puppet and stood on top of the puppet pile.

"Creak."

The puppet made a metallic sound as the puppets from the pile started attaching themselves to the level 50 puppet.

Zhao Luo could see the other destroyed puppets being absorbed by this level 50 puppet.

After a while, Zhao Luo felt shocked.

'Will it ever stop?'

The size of the puppet kept on increasing as it was already covering half of the silver space.

'How am I supposed to defeat this?'

Zhao Luo questioned himself as he felt despair while looking at the size of the puppet.

This was the first time since getting out of the capsule that Zhao Luo felt a tinge of fear grasping his innocent heart.

'Ting.'

Ifrit started shaking in Zhao Luo's hand, making him calm as the trembling passed to Zhao Luo's heart through his hand.

'Clench.'

Zhao Luo grasped Ifrit even more tightly than before as a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

The growth of the puppet had finally stopped as it looked at Zhao Luo from top of hundreds of puppets under it.

"CREAK."

The puppet roared with its metallic sound.

Zhao Luo's silver hair blew back because of the pressure from the puppet's roar.

The status on top of the puppet completely changed as its transformation came to a stop.

<LVL 100++>

"Giant Sword Warrior: Dual (Trickery *Activated*)"

Zhao Luo saw the status flowing over the puppet's head and couldn't control his urge to shout.

"You forgot to add your hundreds of hands in there."

Zhao Luo shouted while looking at the hundred blade like limbs coming out of the Giant puppet's body.

They were the sword arms of the destroyed puppets.

The silver space was enveloped with silence as Zhao Luo stood in front of the Giant puppet whose level had already surpassed 100.

Zhao Luo had Ifrit and Blackey 2.0 in his hands as he looked at the giant puppet and took a deep breath.

"Hah."

Zhao Luo was preparing himself mentally to fight this enormous thing.

Ifrit started shining as Zhao Luo leaped towards the top of the giant puppet.

'Swoosh.'

'Swoosh.'

'Swoosh.'

.

.

.

.

.

The countless swords on the body of the puppet slashed towards Zhao Luo.

'Tap.'

'Tap.'

'Tap.'

.

.

Zhao Luo dodged them and kept on stepping over the swords to push himself upwards.

Zhao Lup continued this while dodging the sword arms and using some of them to propel himself up.

'Ahhhh.'

Zhao Luo screamed as the giant puppet was blocking his sight with its thick sword.

'SWOOOOOSH.'

Zhao Luo stepped on another sword to throw himself right towards the big sword of the Giant puppet that was coming towards him while cutting through the air itself of the silver space.

"Fwoosh."

Zhao Luo dodged the big sword by spinning around the sword as he advanced towards the head of the Giant puppet.

"Multiple Wood Drops."

Zhao Luo brought down his Ifrit, and Blackey 2.0 on the Giant puppets head vigorously.

He didn't end just there.

Zhao Luo threw Blackey 2.0 towards the head of the giant puppet.

In mid-air, Zhao Luo stepped on Blackey 2.0 with tears filling his eyes to use the foot movement of his most powerful sword technique.

"Miserable Dual Burst Slash." 

Zhao Luo shouted as Blackey 2.0 fell downwards.

Zhao Luo brought down Ifrit on the head of the Giant puppets head.

"Fwoosh."

In a second, the glowing crimson sword passed through the giant puppet splitting it into two halves.

Thud!

Zhao Luo landed next to the broken Blackey 2.0 while biting his lips as he watched the two halves of the giant puppet slowly falling on the floor of the silver space.

"Finally, it landed, but at what cause...."

Zhao Lup felt dejected as he had lost both Blackey and its brother against these trash puppets.

'Thud.'

"Clap"

Zhao Luo could hear the clapping sound as the puppet fell to the ground.

*Cough* 

Zhao Luo coughed a mouthful of blood as in this stage he had been using more than his full power. It was also his willpower to pull out his sword techniques again and again.

"I can't give up now."

Zhao Luo said with a serious look on his face as he looked up at the bubble that was floating in the silver space.

"Whaaa...."

Zhao Luo almost passed out when he saw the stage information in the bubble.

<Stages Cleared>

"Did the moonstone challenge end already?"

Zhao Luo whispered questioningly as he put Ifrit back in the storage of his space.

Shwaa!

Zhao Luo heard someone passing behind him, so he turned around while pulling Ifrit from the storage space.

'What?'

Zhao Luo felt something, but there wasn't anyone behind him.

Shwaa!

'Again.'

Zhao Luo thought as he turned back after hearing the same sound from behind him.

'Nobody's here. Hmmm.'

'Swoosh.'

'Clang.'

Zhao Luo swung Ifrit while spinning even before he heard a sound this time, and it struck something.

"A Puppet."

Zhao Luo jumped back and got ready for another fight.

"Hahaha."

The puppet started laughing like a human.

Zhao Luo scratched his head. He didn't know that these metallic puppets could laugh like a human.

'Maybe this puppet will give me my reward.'

Zhao Luo smiled creepily while storing Ifrit back in the storage space.

"Hahaha."

Zhao Luo laughed as the puppet stopped laughing, which continued for a while.

"Hahahaha."

The puppet then took its turn as it started laughing again.

After it stopped, Zhao Luo looked at it with squinted eyes.

'I want to have the last laugh.'

"Hahaha."

Zhao Luo started laughing again as he didn't want to lose to this puppet even though the battleground was laughing.

"Enough."

*Cough, Cough*

The puppet suddenly shouted at Zhao Luo, causing him to cough like a guy with some number virus.

"You were terrific."

"Especially that sword of yours."

"So you will succeed that guy. Hah, Bellum."

The puppet kept on rambling on and on while looking up and down at Zhao Luo.
