Chapter 2118 - 1626: Reversal (Second Update)

Su Mo tried desperately to suppress the pain brought on by the Genetic Potion, but even breathing was excruciating, let alone standing up, much less fighting.

Moreover, in this situation, even if he were in his prime state, he might not be able to turn things around. It’s truly misfortunes never come singly!

"Cough, cough, is it?"

At this moment, the old man rasped, as he pressed down on the armrest of the wheelchair with sudden force.

Instantly, a hidden needle made from a concentrated Meat Erosion Sunflower shot out from the wheelchair armrest, injecting into the old man’s body.

In an instant, despite his withered appearance, the old man’s face showed a hint of color.

Then he slowly stood up, his solemn gaze fixed on Coret, his entire presence exploding with a terrifying aura.

In an instant, Coret and his subordinates took a step back in fear, their eyes revealing a look of incredulity.

"You’re not paralyzed?"

"Paralyzed, how could I really be paralyzed? But if I wasn’t, how else would you reveal your treacherous ambitions."

The old man stared coldly at Coret. In fact, he had given him several chances, but in the end, he just couldn’t hold back.

"My treacherous ambitions, wasn’t that forced upon me by you? How many years have I followed you, risking my life, venturing through countless fire and sword dangers? My father and grandfather all sacrificed for the Black Light Empire. And then what? What did you do to me? Not only do you not pass everything down to me, but you guard against me as if I were a thief, finally wanting to pass everything to this outsider. Am I mad, or are you?"

Coret, as if his sore spot was hit, fumed with rage and reproach.

"Hmph, always blaming heaven and others. I gave you opportunities, it’s you who couldn’t seize them. And colluding with the Fallen God Sect, you thought I didn’t know? I just didn’t want to expose you. But your actions now make me very disappointed, further proving that my previous decisions were not wrong. As for passing it to Su Mo, that is my decision, and it’s not for you to question!"

The old man’s gaze became ever more piercing as he retorted.

"Ha-ha, it’s truly laughable, but forget it, I am the muddle-headed one here, arguing with you about all this. Old man, even if you’re not paralyzed, what waves can you stir up amongst so many of us! If you obediently surrender and beg me, I can still leave you with a bit of dignity."

Coret’s expression became increasingly manic.

"Is that so? Do you really think you’ve won?"

The old man’s expression was very calm, without a trace of fear.

In contrast, Coret felt increasingly uneasy at the old man’s calm demeanor, also fearing that prolonged time would bring changes, so he waved his hand!

"Seize the old man!"

However, only a few dozen people raised weapons, the others remained unmoved.

"You guys!"

Seeing this scene, Coret was full of disbelief.

The old man rasped, "See whether they listen to you or to me."

In an instant, most of Coret’s subordinates on site aimed their weapons at Coret and his men, releasing Katu and others.

At this moment, Katu and others were stunned.

Right then, Yue Ji, who had been informing Coret, his assistant walked in with a smile and said to Coret.

"Sorry, Lord Coret, I too am the old man’s man."

"Good, good tricks, original means, so it turns out you planned all of this beforehand."

In his fury, Coret finally understood.

"Hmph, those petty tricks of yours, I grew tired of playing with thousands of years ago."

The old man looked at Coret like a clown.

Su Mo, seeing the complete turn of events, was extremely surprised at how clever the old man’s schemes were.

To be able to reverse the situation, and so thoroughly too.

"Big brother, what do we do now?"

Balken and the loyalists, who didn’t defect, anxiously asked.

"Fight them to the death."

Driven into a corner, Coret snatched up a Light Blade and charged at the old man.

Seeing Coret make his move, Balken and the others also went all out.

When the old man saw Coret coming, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. His body swift as an afterimage, he dodged Coret’s strike and landed a heavy punch on Coret’s chest.

Crack!

The Bio Armor covering Coret’s chest caved in.

His whole body flew away upon impact, hitting the ground hard, spewing a mouthful of blood.

With a horrified expression, he looked at the old man, who in his eyes, suddenly appeared as terrifying and ferocious as a fierce beast.

Simultaneously, screams rang out.

One by one, Coret’s loyalists were taken down, even Balken was swiftly subdued by Katu, Attic, and Adomo, pinned down hard against the ground.

In an instant, Coret was isolated and surrounded.

At this moment, Coret got up, swinging the Light Blade in his hand, and shouted viciously.

"Come on!"

"Facing death, you still resist stubbornly!"

The old man gazed intently at Coret and said gloomily.

Coret, seeing his downfall, suddenly showed a twisted smile, saying to the old man.

"Don’t get too cocky, old man. I lost, but you didn’t win either. How long do you think that body of yours can last? Before long, you’ll die too, and do you really think you can revive the Black Light Empire? Fool’s dream! Let me tell you, the Black Light Empire is finished, forever buried by your hand! Just like when the Black Light Emperor was pinned alive to the throne, your brothers didn’t help you, they became stooges of the Alliance, turning against you. Isn’t it laughable, huh?"

"Shut up!"

The old man, usually calm and composed, reacted as if deeply wounded, roaring in anger.

"What’s the point of you telling me to shut up, what I said is the truth, regardless of the treasures you find, the Black Light Empire is beyond saving, ha-ha!"

Coret, consumed with madness.

"I see you’re looking for death!"

The old man erupted with terrifying killing intent!

"No need for you to act, the victor writes history, I’ll go on my own, but I’ll be waiting for you on the yellow springs road, ha-ha!"

Saying so, Coret lifted the Light Blade to his neck and sliced it fiercely!

Crack!

Blood splattered everywhere.

Coret fell to the ground as the icy floor was soaked in blood.

"Heh-heh~"

Still uttering a faint, mocking laugh from his lips.

Then his eyes gradually glazed over, life slipping away.

Seeing Coret’s suicide, Katu and others fell into silence, their hearts a mix of emotions.

"Everyone out."

The old man rasped.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing that, Katu and the others withdrew from the storage room.

Suddenly, Su Mo felt a burst of Negative Energy erupt within his body, and the black power instantly turned half of the Light Sequence genes into a Dark Sequence.

After a long time, Su Mo began to feel the pain diminish, the strange patterns on his body gradually faded, feeling unprecedented ease, he slowly got up.
