Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave Chapter 4205 Modification And Adaptation

"Zen, are you okay? Can you hear me?" The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord was obviously worried.

It didn't matter how powerful Zen's body was. He still couldn't quite compare to the Treacherous
Beings. He must have suffered a great deal after being hit by the irregular heavy sword.

"Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me," responded Zen. He winced just as he finished saying this.

The problem was not the heavy sword itself, but this world. The rules in this place were completely
modified.

Nevertheless, he was very familiar with the modification of rules.

The universe, the divine land, the Source World, and the Other Shore all had different sets of rules.
They were set when these places were just constructed. But with enough strength, it would be possible
for someone to alter them.

It was the simplest to modify the rules of the inner world. For instance, it was fairly easy for Zen to
change the rules in his primitive land.

There was no doubt that the movements of the irregular heavy sword were extraordinarily fast. But with
his theurgy, he definitely could have avoided it.

Unfortunately, the rules of this boundless world had been changed. Therefore, his theurgy was totally
useless. The space theurgy he previously demonstrated was rendered ineffective.

Swish! All of a sudden, he heard a strange rushing sound.

The heavy armor that disappeared in the darkness reappeared unexpectedly. It reached out and made
a gentle grabbing motion. At once, the irregular heavy sword returned to its hand.



Afterward, there was a buzzing sound coming from where the heavy armor was.

Buzz! From a distance, Zen saw peculiar lights shining one after another.

The buzzing sound was apparently coming from those strange lights.

Upon closer inspection, those lights were actually coming from the runes embedded on the surface of
the black armor. They were lighting up consequently.

Earlier, the heavy armor seemed lifeless and impassive. After the runes lit up, it suddenly became full
of vitality.

When Zen confronted the armor a while ago, he merely treated it as a dead thing, although he could
clearly sense the unpleasant aura of the Treacherous Being. He thought that his real opponent here
was the irregular heavy sword.

Now, it seemed as though the irregular heavy sword had summoned the black armor. Slowly, it was
coming to life.

Soon enough, two blood-red dots lit up within the armor's helmet. It gave the black armor a more
menacing aura.

"What in the world..."

There was an unusually grave expression upon Zen's handsome face.

This time, the black armor felt like a living person to him. Maybe it was even an exceptional top master.

It radiated with a strong aura of life and soul. Meanwhile, the aura of the Treacherous Being still existed
within the armor. He could even feel its strength. This meant that Kincaid had not awakened yet.



However, Zen could not help it. He just had to ask. "Is that you, Master Kincaid?" he called out to the
black armor.

Kincaid was trapped within the Treacherous Being. When he heard Zen's question, he smiled bitterly.
'Yes and no, ' he thought silently.

'I do not wish to kill you.

But because I'm trapped in here, I have no choice.'

Kincaid felt utterly helpless and downhearted.

If he could just change his wish willfully, he wouldn't have to face such a shameful and unpleasant
situation now.

But then again, how could a wish be changed at will? If only he knew how.

Swish! Once again, Zen heard a rushing noise.

The black armor took a step forward and instantly disappeared from where it was standing. Out of
nowhere, the irregular heavy sword slashed towards Zen's head.

Actually, its speed was not that fast.

However, Zen's speed had decreased a lot in this world. There was no way he could dodge this sword
attack. His only option was to withstand it.

Crash! The collision between the sword and Zen caused a loud crashing sound.

He crossed his arms over his chest in a desperate attempt to block it. The sword effectively landed a
hit, and the impact sent him flying again.



While Zen was still helplessly soaring in mid-air, the black armor appeared above him at an incredible
speed. Boom!

The sword hit him hard on his back. After that, he began to plummet to the ground.

Swish! Hearing this, Zen already had an idea of what was about to happen.

As he predicted, the black armor disappeared again. This time, it reappeared beneath Zen and pointed
the irregular heavy sword upwards in an attempt to stab him once more.

Zen instantly thought that if the irregular heavy sword landed this hit, it would probably pierce through
his body.

"This time, I'm sure! I can avoid it! If I could just..."

During the most crucial moment, the ancestry-level bloodline activated the ability of the space-time
quadrant once again.

It wouldn't be able to change the basic rules of this space. However, it could immediately adapt to such
rules.

As soon as the power in Zen's elixir field emerged, he quickly disappeared. Shortly after, he
reappeared dozens of miles away from his previous location.

After his spatial transference, Zen did not stop. He continued to move further away.

He went from ten to a hundred miles away. A few more seconds passed, and he was already a
thousand miles away from the black armor.

In just a short span of time, Zen had managed to move thousands of miles away. However, the entirety
of this space seemed to have no end.



Meanwhile, the black armor appeared as if it wasn't in a hurry to chase after him. It merely hovered in
the air and waited patiently.

Once Zen was already ten thousand miles away from it, it took one step forward.

Despite the vast distance between Zen and the armor, it still appeared precisely beside Zen. Obviously,
it was perfectly in control of this entire space.

Instinctively, Zen stepped back and tried to keep his distance.

However, a strange thing occurred. As Zen retreated, he collided head-first with the irregular heavy
sword.

Crash! A loud booming sound echoed throughout the space.

The collision between Zen and the sword was so forceful that it left a huge dent on his forehead. The
gash was an inch deep.

"Zen, are you alright? Answer me!" Once again, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord asked him anxiously.

"Well, I..."

Before Zen could answer, the black armor had already moved to his left side. Naturally, he moved to
the right to avoid it.

Oddly enough, he slammed once again onto the irregular heavy sword. It caused a deep gash on his
shoulder.

Thankfully, Zen's bones were extremely strong and hard. His body was also unbelievably tough. No
blood gushed out from the wound.



Finally, the ancestry-level bloodline gave him a helpful reminder. "The basic rules of this space are
reversed. Therefore, the left and right, up and down, and the front and back directions are actually the
other way around."

"I see. So how should I deal with this?" Zen asked as he tried to think about his next move.

"Here, let me adjust your perception!"

A stream of life energy rose from the primitive land and flowed directly into Zen's mind.

While this was happening, Zen's eyes began to flicker. All of a sudden, he felt dizzy. In the blink of an
eye, the world was reversed.

"Now, to the opposite direction..."

The heavy black armor slashed at him again. This time, Zen's reaction was perfect. He was able to
dodge the attack with ease.

Inside the Treacherous Being's body, Kincaid was deep in thought. He started to process what he just
witnessed.

The Death Sword was able to make the basic rules.

All living beings in this space had to follow the basic rules in order to survive.

No one could ever go against the rules.

However, Zen was still alive after battling with the sword for such a long time!

Where on earth did he come from? How strong was he?

This was completely beyond Kincaid's understanding. He couldn't quite figure out why.



'I see. You can adapt to the rules that have already been changed by the Death Sword twice now. You
really are as talented as I was in the past. But if it continuously changes the basic rules, you are going
to be in grave danger, ' he thought to himself.

Everyone's ability was limited and fixed. Perhaps Zen's bloodline power could withstand the twice
revised basic rules purely by luck and coincidence. But if the Death Sword frequently adjusted the
basic rules, in the end, he would still be killed.

Kincaid wanted to warn Zen about this. Unfortunately, he couldn't.

Just like Kincaid predicted, the irregular heavy sword modified the basic rules once more. Zen's body
suddenly became awfully heavy. It seemed like it was made of lead. Moreover, the weight of all the
materials in this world increased ten thousand times over.

If Zen didn't figure out the right technique, he would suffer another blow like last time.

Fortunately, the ancestry-level bloodline had also adapted. Whenever any of the basic rules were
changed, it would use a new ability to help Zen adjust.

When the rules were altered for the third time, it only took Zen a brief moment to readjust his
perception.

The black armor didn't quite expect that Zen would manage to adapt in such a short span of time.
Nonetheless, it carried on with its assault.

But this time, Zen was ready to fight back.
