Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense - Chapter 352 - 350: Don't Move, It'll Explode!

With the removal of the space barrier, Old Long glanced once more at Tu Hongwu without saying anything, turned around, and disappeared directly.

Old Long left without the slightest hesitation, without any delay.

He knew that this was the last chance Tu Hongwu had fought for him.

Old Long’s departure left Tu Hongwu, whose spatial attainment wasn’t particularly high, completely exposed. He didn’t continue to hide, just stood there boldly and openly.

Looking at the giant statues in the distance and the countless Buddhist Soldiers surrounding this space, Tu Hongwu instead sneered:

“What a grand array! Speaking of which, you’ve put on such a grand display now, but back when I was blocking the gates of the Buddhist Sect, how come I didn’t see you have the guts to arrest me then?”

Maitreya Buddha didn’t respond to this remark: “Since Donor Tu has revealed himself, why don’t you accompany this humble monk for a visit.”

As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation with his hand.

Tu Hongwu nonchalantly stuck a finger in his nose, dug out a dark lump, flicked it forward, and said casually:

“No rush, actually, I think it’s better to clarify things here. Otherwise, running back and forth is a hassle for me.”

Maitreya Buddha’s brows slightly furrowed: “Donor Tu, does this mean you don’t plan to cooperate?”

While speaking, he tried to extend his hand to capture Tu Hongwu. Even though they had set up an inescapable trap here, with so many Buddhist Soldiers, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and even himself as a Future Buddha had personally arrived, Tu Hongwu had no chance of escaping.

But their main purpose for doing this wasn’t for fear that Tu Hongwu might escape, but rather that he might die.

A net has been cast here for some time; escaping is simply impossible.

There’s really only two ways for a person to escape: first, find a gap, or secondly, break out with absolute strength.

But Tu Hongwu doesn’t meet either of these conditions, so he simply cannot escape.

There are only so many ways to escape, yet none are feasible for Tu Hongwu. However, there are many ways to die.

For ordinary people, dying might be difficult; after all, it’s impossible to kill oneself easily. But for beings like them, it’s very simple.

This is why power users are stronger than ordinary people—there are countless more ways for them to die.

The giant palm extended out, and the space, like a quagmire, trapped Tu Hongwu, but he didn’t struggle because he knew clearly that in front of such a force, any struggle was in vain.

Instead of struggling futilely, it’s better to lay comfortably in a more pleasant position.

The space instantly closed around Tu Hongwu, wrapping him up. Maitreya Buddha still spoke with a smile:

“Do not blame me, Donor Tu, this is merely a helpless act for ensuring your life’s safety.”

To this, Tu Hongwu didn’t contradict, and even showed a slight mockery on his face: “Finished talking? Have you finished setting the restrictions? If yes, then release them.”

Maitreya Buddha shook his head with a light smile, saying nothing.

The Bodhisattvas and Arhats standing nearby showed a hint of ridicule.

“You’ve been captured, and now you want me to release you? Are you crazy?”

“Even if you are crazy, you don’t think all people are, do you?”

Tu Hongwu, wanting to move his fingers, found he could move nothing but his mouth, and helplessly said:

“Looks like you’re not planning on letting me go.

But it’s fine. These 10 days I’ve been trapped in the void, I wasn’t just doing nothing.

I’m not a talent, but I have a little knowledge of various disordered things, and after mingling them together, I’ve set up a self-destruct system in my body that requires at least a quarter of an hour to crack, unless it’s me.

It’s not complicated, really. If my body stops moving for more than 5 minutes, my body will explode like fireworks, boom.

Also, let me add, talking does not count as action.”

Maitreya Buddha’s face changed abruptly upon hearing this, and terrifying spiritual power surged into Tu Hongwu’s body, beginning to inspect all his conditions.

As expected, after a moment, he found a set of disordered stuff in Tu Hongwu’s brain.

Though he didn’t fully understand it at first glance, being an apex Dao Ancestor, he quickly grasped the logic.

Though it seemed complicated, it wasn’t particularly complex, yet at the same time, it wasn’t that simple, just a little troublesome.

It was like a combination lock; its breaking methods were simple—two of them: first, forcibly breaking it open, or second, using a password.

However, the first method, as soon as it emerged in his mind, was vetoed.

Even the constraint of one’s body has a contingency; how might Tu Hongwu, this schemer, not have also accounted for forced breaking?

As for the second method of using a password, not knowing the password just means trying all possible combinations, which would also uncover a solution.

According to his estimates, with his strength, he’d only need 8 minutes to completely break it.

Tu Hongwu simply lacked understanding of his level of strength, creating such a gap.

Even so, it’s just ridiculous how Tu Hongwu planned for only 5 minutes without moving before exploding. What the hell was he thinking designing this?

At this moment, Tu Hongwu spoke again: “You might as well not try to forcibly control my body; it too would trigger the explosion.”

“Hahaha, I was just joking with you earlier. Donor Tu, why so earnest? Mere restraint, I’ll release it now.”

While speaking, Maitreya Buddha waved a hand, and Tu Hongwu’s body regained freedom of movement.

Tu Hongwu gently moved his limbs: “Haven’t eaten for 10 days. Let me eat something first.”

Saying this, he ignored the Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Buddha present, and took out a small table from his System Space, along with some side dishes, and began drinking by himself.

Maitreya Buddha and the surrounding Bodhisattvas and Arhats, standing in the void, watched helplessly as Tu Hongwu drank his wine and ate his dishes alone.

Finally, after two hours, Tu Hongwu finished everything on the table.

“Alright, is Donor Tu ready to come with me now?”

By this time Maitreya Buddha’s patience had reached its limit, and he had already summoned two other Buddhas to hurry over. If Tu Hongwu still refused to comply, then they’d handle it right here.

He had afforded enough time.
