Doomsday: with unlimited warehouse system

Chapter 322 Self-blame ?

At this moment, Edmund also sensed David's murderous intent. However, he remained remarkably calm. He controlled the entire wasteland world, so he was in control of everything that happened within it. While Edmund was practicing in that massive nest, he had already learned of David's strength. That's why he was so composed now because he knew that David wouldn't confront him here.

Because this was the apocalypse, not part of the wasteland world. In David's mind, he had to defeat his enemies within the wasteland world. So, Edmund felt confident. In his view, whether it was David's strength or his character, he had a firm grasp of it all.

But the next moment, Edmund froze in place, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion. David at this moment resembled an enraged lion, glaring at him fiercely. In David's deep eyes, a powerful aura burst forth, freezing the surrounding air instantly.

"The one who killed me... will die!" David didn't care where he killed Edmund. No matter where, he was determined to eliminate the Zerg. He had originally thought that the Zerg would gradually launch attacks against him. He had never expected Edmund, the highest leader of the Zerg, to provoke him in such a way. How could he tolerate it?

So, at this moment, David unleashed Absolute Zero. Space froze, and the flowing air turned into crystal-clear ice pillars. It seemed as if the world suddenly transformed into a frozen ocean.

Though Edmund was surprised, he didn't show any fear on his face. He looked at David and gave a faint smile. Then, countless black insects erupted in flames, and when these flames met the ice pillars, a silent battle between fire and ice began. The ice pillars were constantly melted by these fiery insects, and at the same time, numerous insects extinguished the flames, freezing them into ice clumps that fell from the sky. It seemed that both of them were evenly matched, using their unique abilities to try to subdue the other. Watching this scene unfold, Viola stood still, biting her lip.

In the next moment, Viola's iron fan rapidly expanded in her hand, and with a strong swing, a hurricane mixed with countless ice pillars flew towards Edmund.

Edmund, however, didn't even bother to take Viola, who was of a lower level, seriously. He casually waved his hand, and hundreds of insects appeared out of thin air, directly devouring the hurricane.

At the same time, these insects that had devoured the hurricane rushed towards Viola in a massive swarm. This left her stunned, standing still and unsure of what to do.

David saw this and clenched his fist, smashing hundreds of insects with a deep surge of light that flashed and vanished.

"Not bad! You've got some strength!" Watching David's powerful punch, Edmund praised him with a smile.

"But I don't want to waste time here with you. Next... I will unleash all of the Zerg's power. Then, you'll understand the true terror of the wasteland world! Hahaha!" Edmund laughed maniacally.

Then, with a light wave of Edmund's right hand, all the insects around his body disappeared into thin air, and he slowly vanished from his original location, leaving no trace.

"Watching Edmund flee, David didn't immediately pursue him because he knew that Edmund had just challenged him. Additionally, he had a sense that the survival rules of the wasteland world had changed. If he were to attack recklessly, he could likely fall into an ambush set by the enemy.

David's guess was correct. The moment Edmund transformed into a human form in front of Viola, the wasteland world had completely changed. All the zombie monsters had been infested by the insects, and in just half a day, all living beings with combat abilities in the wasteland world had become puppets of the Zerg. In their perception, merely seeing David would immediately trigger their desire to kill. So, in the current wasteland world, all living beings had become Edmund's subordinates.

And David, in an intangible way, had become an opponent to everything here. If David were to chase after Edmund now, he would undoubtedly be surrounded by these zombie creatures. Even if he managed to break through and deal a heavy blow to Edmund, he estimated that he would still sustain some injuries.

In David's eyes, this was definitely not the most favorable deal. So, David looked at the dark light in the sky, his deep gaze filled with determination. This time, he must kill the Zerg, kill Edmund. He had to avenge Bernard and, more importantly, seek justice for his beloved Rainbow.

Walking to a corner of the courtyard, David saw a skeleton with only bones left and a dimly lit incense burner figurine. The skeleton looked extremely miserable, its body twisted to the extreme, as if it had been struggling desperately before dying.

The incense burner figurine had been shattered into two halves, seemingly beyond repair. David picked up the incense burner figurine and held it in his hand. Viola also approached.

"If it weren't for me, Bernard and Rainbow wouldn't have been in trouble," Viola said with guilt. "It's my fault for bringing Edmund here and into the courtyard. Maybe none of this would have happened today."

With that, tears of self-blame streamed down Viola's face. David placed the incense burner figurine into the system storage and turned to Viola, speaking softly, "We can't stop anyone who wants to kill us. If we had gone to the Zerg, we might have done the same. Don't forget that this world is full of deception and treachery. So, this is not your fault."

From start to finish, David never blamed Viola, and he could only attribute it to Edmund's exceptional disguise, which had even made him lower his guard. Plus, the fact that Edmund managed to escape from his Absolute Zero ability.

David felt that he had encountered a formidable opponent this time, and he even thought that Edmund's strength might surpass his own. Listening to David's words, Viola finally lifted her head. Her face was streaked with tears, and she said with anger, "We must avenge Bernard and Rainbow! Even if we have to sacrifice every member of the Kui tribe, I won't regret it!"

And so, the flames of vengeance ignited in Viola's heart. Thinking back to how her blow had seemed ineffective in front of Edmund, Viola decided to intensify her training for the sake of Bernard, Rainbow, and for David, with whom she spent her days and nights. She had to become a capable warrior under David's leadership.Viola clenched her fists in determination.

And like this, David saw someone connected to him die in this world for the first time. In this moment, he seemed to have changed as well."
