Infinite reincarnation of glory

——Am I not as good as him?

——Why do you say...I'm not as good as him! ?

——I admit, he does always make the right decisions. He also does a good job as a protector. His development and exploration of strength was even more extraordinary. Obviously I was the one who did the best at the beginning. But he came from behind.

——But...but...even so...

——I don’t think he has always been stronger than me!

At the moment when his sanity collapsed, Zheng Zha no longer harbored thoughts that he would not normally reveal in his mind. All restraints were completely destroyed and erased at this moment. The deepest emotion hidden in the heart manifests itself in the depths of the soul.

envy.

How could he not be jealous deep down in his heart.

Because he knows, he understands that this jealousy has been pushing him forward, allowing him to gain more power.

He doesn't hate Jiang Yu because Jiang Yu is an important partner. But he was jealous of him, because standing in front of everyone, shielding them from the wind and rain, guiding everyone to the right direction of victory... He also wanted to do it!

——Why can’t I?

——Isn’t it power? Isn’t it determination? Am I not capable of making sacrifices for the sake of the team? Refining my own strength and then defeating intensity, haven’t I been doing this all the time? !

Do not admit defeat.

Zheng Zha admitted that he was slightly behind in the previous competition. But he didn't think he was completely defeated. He knew that all this had not reached the moment of final revelation. So he still has a chance to become the strongest in terms of combat power and voice.

He believed he could do it, and he knew he had been doing it. He knew that Jiang Yu was constantly improving, but he himself was always able to keep up.

Just a little bit, just a little bit pulled apart. The gap between me and him is not that big. I just need to work harder and make more breakthroughs. Then soon, the balance will return to what it was at the beginning!

Ah...that's right. That's it, that's what I think. There is really only one thought in my head.

——‘Then why are you jealous? ’

A voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of my heart.

Everything came to an abrupt end.

Yeah...why be jealous?

Isn't Jiang Yu his companion? Don’t you already have the confidence to defeat him? Isn't competing with him more about making the team better than just the male creature's desire for power?

So... why be jealous? Shouldn't this be a fighting spirit? Isn't this just a normal... normal competition?

Confuse.

The doubt lasted only a moment, perhaps not enough.

Because all his thoughts have been liberated, he is now forced to face his complete self.

So he saw it, saw the ordinary scene that emerged in his mind. He saw Jiang Yu holding up his shield and blocking the front. And he is among the many protection objects behind him.

-He tried to protect me.

An answer, clearly revealed in perception.

——He thinks that I am weak, and he thinks that I... need protection just like everyone else.

Zheng Zha is a warrior.

The duty of a soldier is to stand on the front line and face the battle.

Zheng Zha is a brave man.

A brave man takes the life of his companions on his shoulders and will never hide behind his companions when he can't.

so……

- Not jealousy.

——I... am not jealous of him.

——My real feelings are disgust and disgust. Even if he is indeed an important companion. I couldn't stand it either. He inadvertently showed arrogance as if he was head above me. It was as if I was the fighting beast in the arena, and he was just a member of the audience who accidentally fell into the arena.

——What right does he have to... treat me as weak?

Property correction.

The sword of jealousy has become the sword of disgust. When that moment of thought completed the transformation, the Black Flame Sword also acquired a complete form.

Zheng Zha did not hold the sword - because he did not need to hold it.

And the moment the Sword of Disgust took shape, he also knew the efficacy of this sword.

A very old skill that had even been eliminated long ago was integrated into the sword - it was the first war skill he learned in this infinite world. The first is the skills used to demonstrate one's own strength.

Zaku Thermal Ax - Thermal slash.

It was eliminated early because Thermal Ax even pushed it to the extreme. It’s not as good as a random stroke of the devil’s axe—because the material itself has an upper limit. Even the skill of Thermal Slash can pour more energy into it to enhance its effect. But now, he only needs to inject 30% of the energy of the devil's strike into the thermal energy ax, and the battle ax itself will collapse and break.

Therefore, it cannot be used.

However, the skill 'Thermal Slash' can still be developed - as long as a suitable enough carrier can be obtained!

So...powers gather. Anchoring goals…

--freed!

In the sword of self-hatred, huge energy gathered into a tide. The next moment, Zheng Zha moved directly to the airspace where Zhang Jie was. The gun, sword, and axe, the three black flame weapons, released the maximum power together!

Leave no room or hesitate.

When the feeling of incapacity and collapse came together with the darkness of fainting, what appeared in Zheng Zha's eyes was Zhang Jie's eyes with relief and a little surprise.

……………………

When Zheng Zha opened his eyes again, what he saw was a broken wasteland. Fires were still burning in the huge craters and narrow chasms. The rising smoke column set off a huge heat wave in the sky.

"How does it feel to witness with your own eyes the destructive effect caused by your last round of explosion? This power of permanently changing the terrain within a radius of ten kilometers, even if it is placed in the realm of the fourth-level gene lock, is barely considered a card? "

Zhang Jie's voice came from not far away - Zheng Zha stood up with support, and the pain and weakness in his body were diminishing with his breathing. He found himself lying on the top of a cliff. And Zhang Jie was sitting on the edge of the cliff.

Just like how he looked at the top of the church before.

"It feels... quite strange." A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips - he didn't know why he was bitter, but he was smiling anyway. "I figured out some things and was forced to accept some facts. But... I feel very relaxed now. It's as if some burden has been removed from me and I wasn't even aware of it before."

"Normal phenomenon." Zhang Jie took a puff of cigarette, and the white breath he exhaled did not affect his speech. "The original power you have developed is very strange. It works by swallowing negative emotions. However, there is not much pain in your heart - under normal circumstances, you can also use the sea of ​​black emotions you mentioned as fuel. . But once you need to explode and require high-purity power, you can only rely on your own thoughts."

"You are not a bitter and resentful person, and you cannot hate even if you want to. But you know that you must do it, so you subconsciously prepared an emergency method - you make yourself more emotional and more It’s easy to feel pain and anger. As long as you find an opportunity, no matter how far-fetched it is, you will find a way to intensify your emotions.”

He shrugged.

"Forced melons are not sweet, but they can quench your thirst. However, your hatred is too limited to the single emotion of 'hate', but ignores the power of other negative emotions. And you are unwilling to hate others, so you can only hate by force. Yourself. And this causes all other negative emotions to be forcibly directed at you. But they exist for a long time, and even with the third-level gene lock, they can only be suppressed, but not eliminated."

"And now I can do it..." Zheng Zha murmured to himself, and swords, axes and guns appeared in front of him.

He sighed silently.

"Just tell me...it's okay."

"Will you listen?" Zhang Jie asked.

Zheng Zha opened his mouth, but in the end, there was only silence. For people who are confident enough, it is impossible to easily change their thinking without personally verifying the error.

"...Thank you." In the end, he could only reply with this sentence.

"Well, I'll accept it." Zhang Jie waved his hand. "However, it's best to find a way to deal with your method of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause as soon as possible. Either buy some special props, or develop your ability to ignite the dark ocean of emotions - you have already reached the stage of the third-level gene lock. You have a firm footing. But if you want to go further, I suggest you keep your mind normal."

"...Yeah." Zheng Zha nodded. "I know. This time, I also discovered that divine power can increase the effect of hatred on fire. But the divine power swallowed now is not enough. If there is more, maybe it can complete the complete transformation. And by then , the new hatred should no longer be limited to hatred, it will be more powerful. Moreover, the burning effect on emotions should also be better... At that time, I should be able to change the supply source to burn. "

"Have you considered a new name?"

"Yes." Zheng Zha thought for a moment, and a short noun appeared in his mind.

"Negative emotions...violence. The completely degenerated hatred of fire is called 'violent inflammation'."

"Sounds good." Zhang Jie nodded in agreement. "Li Yan...your naming ability is much better than Jiang Yu's."

"I must be better than him." Zheng Zha shrugged. Now, the words were no longer harsh - he raised his hand and took the cigarette thrown by Zhang Jie. He and Zhang Jie sat down on the edge of the cliff together. After that, neither of them spoke.

He didn't ask Zhang Jie how close he and Jiang Yu were now.

He did not ask Zhang Jie how big the crisis was hidden in this world.

He didn't ask Zhang Jie why he was so anxious to show his strength alone - he just sat there, because the dialogue between the warriors had already been expressed in the previous battle.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, when Zheng Zha returned to good condition. He got up and, together with Zhang Jie, returned to the stronghold where the seniors were before dawn.

Hate Fire → Violent Flame → Original Darkness

Something like this.
