Chapter 807: King vs. King, Ultimate Power!
"What a weak god."
Kaito Shirogane slowly stood up in the air. His relaxed posture gradually returned to normal. The Qilin Armor on the surface of his body reflected the sunlight, displaying magnificent colors.
There were distinct scorch marks on his fist. The guy who suddenly descended from the sky was indeed quite strong. The power of thunder attached to his fist was on a completely different level compared to the previous Ebito.
But Kaito Shirogane still felt it wasn't enough.
The blood in his body was accelerating like boiling water. The Third Star Particles continuously proliferated and surged within him, almost matching the madly surging Senra Intent of Death.
Kaito Shirogane's true power at this moment could no longer be simply measured by numerical values. The existence of the Martial God's Ultimate Intent made it so that he essentially had a special efficiency converter constantly equipped on top of his Limiter - Second Stage.
And the efficiency of this converter far surpassed any other trait.
The so-called Abyssal Domain, the Ultimate Intent of Martial Arts, lay exactly in this: manifesting any tiny bit of power exponentially. Combined with Kaito Shirogane's current monstrous physical attributes...
Caught off guard, this True God of the Void Paradise and the Monarch of the Machina Court were sent flying without any resistance.
Zzt!
Golden lightning instantly pierced through the void. Kaito Shirogane, as if possessing foresight, tilted his head. The thunder flashed past, thoroughly throwing the elements in the atmosphere into chaos.
The terrifying gale spawned phenomena like fiery winds and more.
Kaito Shirogane stood his ground, allowing the elemental fire and howling winds to assault him, completely unaffected. Only his long black hair danced wildly in the gale.
A massive whirlpool thousands of meters wide appeared in the ocean, as if some invisible behemoth had been born within the sea, directly parting the seawater.
Blue-white psionic energy began to expand. Energy bred energy, psionic energy bred psionic energy. This was an abnormal energy conversion effect. In just an instant, Kaito Shirogane saw the entire ocean as far as the eye could see turn completely into that special blue-white color.
Roar!
A sea beast roared. Defying the laws of physics, the seawater rolled backward directly toward the sky. Kaito Shirogane stood above the sky, watching countless massive tentacles from the blue-white ocean coil toward the heavens.
Each tentacle was over a thousand meters long. The blue-white psionic energy within was like blood vessels. Infused with that liquefied psionic energy, blazing white energy ripples emanated from around these tentacles, vibrating the air into gales.
Amidst this apocalyptic scene, Kaito Shirogane remained motionless. He merely looked at the golden man emerging from the deep sea and beckoned with a finger.
Zzt!
With a burst of the Thunder God's anger, the weather phenomena changed accordingly. Compared to Ebito, who had to reveal his Divine Body to alter the weather, his father was clearly on another level.
A mere fluctuation of emotion caused thunderclouds to churn in the sky once more, and the electrical currents in the air began to flow abnormally.
[You have engaged Special Unit: Thor (Void True God)]
[Under the influence of the Authority: Thunder, your Ability: Mantra Network has been restricted]
[You have entered the Thunder God Domain. Abilities other than Thunder-attribute have been restricted]
Zzt~
Golden electric sparks spawned out of thin air, instantly enveloping the entire space.
"You are too arrogant, Nameless God of Martial Arts."
Thor's voice was like muffled thunder, churning and echoing within the thunderclouds. Feeling the increasingly strong oppressive pressure in the air, Kaito Shirogane gained a clearer understanding of what a True God-level divine power and Authority could achieve.
Hum!
The next moment, the Extinction Monarch Tassadar, who had been ignored all this time, completed his psionic gathering. Countless terrifying tentacles slammed from the sea surface towards the sky.
The entire ocean shook as if boiling. The terrifying kinetic energy sent ripples vibrating everywhere through the air.
Kaito Shirogane lowered his eyelids, watching the psionic tentacles crashing towards him. He reached out his right hand, and the moment the massive tentacles reached him, he gently swiped.
Hum~
A bizarre sound of impact rang out, like a force of a thousand jun striking cotton. A commotion that should have bombarded heaven and earth became abnormally soft.
Under the amplification of the Martial God's Ultimate Intent, Kaito Shirogane's Shaori technique was beyond what Sea King Kaku could imagine. The massive psionic tentacles were deflected directly.
Zzt!
A bolt of lightning instantly pierced through the void and appeared before Kaito Shirogane.
Kaito Shirogane's pupils focused instantly. Thor's eyes had no pupils, only whites. Enveloped completely in divine power, he raised his hand high in front of Kaito Shirogane in a flash.
Zzt!
An Axe of Thunder appeared. The next moment, it cleaved downwards accompanied by golden lightning.
Clang!
Kaito Shirogane raised his left hand, grabbing the axe at a speed almost equal to Thor's attack.
Thor was shaken inwardly. The reaction speed of this God of Martial Arts was terrifyingly fast. No, that was no longer reaction speed. His attack was the speed of lightning!
That was anticipation, a special intuition that completely dominated the battle.
Despite his inner shock, Thor remained steady. Ebito was merely an offspring carrying his bloodline. Being killed wouldn't make him overly resentful. As long as his eternal life didn't end, as long as his bestowed divine throne didn't disappear, he could have as many Sons of God as he wanted!
"A mortal dares to touch the weapon of a True God!"
Zzt~ BOOM!
Terrifying thunder divine power erupted directly from the axe. The overly intense divine power clashed with the kinetic force on the surface of Kaito Shirogane's body, instantly producing an explosive reaction.
Electric light flowing, Thor sped backward once more. Meanwhile, the psionic ocean, which just moments ago was full of tentacles, had changed again in an instant.
Seeing that the physical attacks of the psionic tentacles couldn't shake Kaito Shirogane, Tassadar in the ocean, his eyes almost bursting with psionic light, brought his hands together.
Countless psionic tentacles merged together. The blue-white ocean itself rose upward from the seabed. The sea level within a radius of thousands of nautical miles dropped simultaneously.
A massive sea beast over ten thousand meters tall rose from the ocean.
It was a giant, monster-like entity, its entire body covered in psionic energy, with numerous tentacles dancing behind it like hair.
Hum!
The overly concentrated psionic energy produced a terrifying howl. The atmosphere was instantly filled with that abnormal vibrating sound.
At this moment, even Thor, who had transformed into lightning to shuttle through the air, felt a chill down his spine.
Psionic energy was an energy with a very high upper limit in the universe, widely applicable and versatile in its usage. More importantly, overly concentrated psionic energy could produce highly terrifying destructive effects.
Thor didn't completely trust Tassadar. He had heard of the Extinction Monarch's name. Having carried out completely destructive massacres in multiple target worlds, causing those worlds to lose their colonial value, he was consequently isolated by the Machina Court.
To Thor, there was no way to estimate what a guy shunned by his own race might do. Perhaps the other party was even planning to kill him along with the enemy.
In the ocean, Tassadar had already transformed into the Sea Demon. Watching Thor rushing about as lightning, he felt somewhat regretful in his heart.
Of all True Gods, it had to be a troublesome guy like Thor who came—someone with poor affinity towards him. Moreover, this battlefield was a wide-open environment like the ocean.
He quickly gave up the idea of killing Thor and began wholeheartedly dealing with the God of Martial Arts from the Infinite Dimensional Space.
Countless sea-hairs behind the Sea Demon's head abruptly lifted, and highly concentrated psionic energy erupted directly.
Hum~ Pfft!
The ocean, the atmosphere, the sky—all were sliced open like tofu.
This psionic beam, condensed with devastating destructive power, was an extremely exclusive energy.
In Kaito Shirogane's perception, even the thunder and divine power permeating the air were directly sliced through.
Although the Extinction Monarch didn't display any special Authority, he had mastered energy—a Second Step element for Reincarnators—to an unimaginable realm.
Kaito Shirogane gained a trace of appreciation for this person.
But appreciation aside, he walked through the air as if strolling in a courtyard. Every step he took perfectly dodged the psionic beams.
For a time, the sky was filled with afterimages, and countless sea-hairs danced madly.
Attacks capable of slicing islands were unleashed hundreds, thousands of times in this sea area in an instant.
The terrifying destructive power could no longer be concealed.
Almost all figures of a certain tier in this world began to realize that this battle was taking place.
Tassadar sensed the phantom-like Kaito Shirogane but wasn't anxious.
In fact, there was no absolute counter-relationship between the martial combat faction and the psionic faction. Perhaps in the early stages, when their strength hadn't reached a certain level, the martial combat faction could use distance advantages to execute low-to-high instant kills against the psionic faction.
But at his stage, as long as he wasn't approached within a hundred-meter range by such a powerful God of Martial Arts like at the very beginning...
The advantage lay entirely with him, the psionic user.
Psionics weren't afraid of fast opponents!
Tassadar's pupils completely psionized, and the dancing nerve cords behind his head completely assimilated with the tentacle-like sea-hairs behind the massive Sea Demon.
He gained the most direct control over the Sea Demon.
Kaito Shirogane, flying like a bug in the air, was perceived by him. The next moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and shrieked.
"Hah~"
The psionic energy that had long since spread everywhere via the ocean lit up from the sea in an instant.
The entire ocean, the entire sky, was completely enveloped in the light of psionic energy.
In just an instant, the ocean was frozen, and the sky completely solidified.
The Sea Demon raised his hands, as if grasping the entire world.
Even the tides of the ocean were halted by the overly terrifying psionic energy at this moment. Such an action was a terrifying burden even for Tassadar; thus, he could only maintain this control for a mere instant.
But even an instant... was enough!
Hum hum hum hum...
Countless sea-hairs had already locked onto Kaito Shirogane, who was frozen mid-air.
In this instant, Tassadar also noticed True God Thor on the other side, frozen from his lightning form.
Thor's hair had turned blazing white, sparkling like lightning. His entire body was wrapped in dense thunder. He had completely elementalized, yet even so, he was frozen by him.
If I were to now...
The moment this thought appeared, a wave of divine consciousness crashed directly into the Sea Demon's mind. The divine consciousness clashed with the psionic energy.
"Fool! Watch the enemy!"
Thor was almost enraged by this Extinction Monarch's greed and stupidity, but the terrifying oppressive feeling emanating from the deity's intent forced him to warn Tassadar.
Tassadar retracted his thoughts, only to see the God of Martial Arts, frozen in mid-air, the corners of his mouth curling up bit by bit. His pupils trembled downwards, revealing a bizarre smile.
Arrogance, indifference, mockery—various expressions seemed to blend together.
Finally transforming into golden light soaring into the sky, the terrifying presence directly distorted the atmosphere, pushing away and dispersing the psionic energy he had spread throughout the space.
The psionic energy couldn't envelop that God of Martial Arts!
"Empress Yoko, 7,000 nautical miles to the southeast, there are terrifying energy fluctuations. The magnitude is at least Disaster tier."
[Energy Tyrant: Aka] possessed an extremely keen perception of energy. He frowned. As a Chosen One, and even a standout among them...
Aka had always possessed ample, arrogant confidence. But standing before this woman, he felt somewhat ashamed of his inferiority.
The other party continuously exuded a majestic aura.
Whether in power or action, she even made him feel an illusion that as long as he followed behind this woman, they could win no matter the predicament.
Only now did Aka realize how terrifying Yoko was. Her ability to completely conquer the West District in just a cycle and a half, and to gain the title of the strongest in the entire Infinite Dimensional Space, was no accident.
"Hmm. Mercenary Tao has probably encountered a Sovereign-level opponent ahead of schedule."
"That's a good thing."
Yoko's gaze was calm. Her relationship with Mercenary Tao wasn't exactly cooperation; at best, they were mutually utilizing each other right now.
Mercenary Tao and her sister needed her to draw and hold the enemy's attention at the front, and she also hoped Mercenary Tao could initiate a slaughter from the rear to reduce the enemy's numbers.
But the reverse effect was equally acceptable.
If Mercenary Tao engaged the enemy from the rear first and drew their attention, she could force a victory through a frontal assault.
Yoko had absolute confidence in her own power. Sovereign-level enemies were no match for her!
"Forward, attack!"
The massive seagoing vessel Yoko was on was less a ship and more a massive raft pieced together from hundreds of giant logs several meters thick.
But propelled by Aka's energy control, this massive raft sailed unhindered across the sea.
Ahead, seven or eight aerospace battleships stretched across the sky.
Between heaven and earth, a massive number of robots flew in the air. These robots emitted high-energy particles from their hands and feet, clearly possessing considerable destructive power.
Top-tier experts with technological enhancements possessed an unmatched advantage at the military force level compared to any other type of enhancement.
Given time and resources, they could practically conquer a planet single-handedly.
And the [Emperor Ultron] blocking the path of the Infinite Dimensional Space was clearly this type of enemy.
Dozens of Reincarnators stood behind Yoko. This was the maximum number they could contact and absorb within the current short timeframe. There might be other Reincarnators remaining in this world, but the number wouldn't be high.
Yoko drew her [Caliburn], slowly raising it and pointing it forward.
"There are absolutely no matching opponents before us."
"Attack!"
The golden Concussive Pulse of the Spiritual Light violently swept forth like ocean waves. In this instant, Aka felt his heartbeat pushed to the limit. An irresistible, passionate emotion surged from the coldest corners of his heart.
He felt that in this moment, he was fearless. And it wasn't an illusion; he felt his abilities had been massively amplified.
[You are affected by the Concussive Pulse of the Spiritual Light from Heaven's Pilgrimage]
[All your abilities receive a 75% amplification]
[Your Authority is temporarily increased by 1 Tier]
[You have gained the Temporary Trait: Fire of Humanity (World's Rarity): The fire of the heart never extinguishes, and neither does the fire of life]
Aka clenched his fists. Before he could speak, the numerous Reincarnators behind him, who had previously been somewhat intimidated by the power of the Machina Court and Void Paradise, once again gathered their courage and fighting intent, letting out mad roars.
"Kill!"
"Charge!"
"Hah-ah!"
The churning fighting intent agitated the golden Concussive Pulse of the Spiritual Light even more intensely, which in turn acted upon Yoko. Yoko took a step into the sky, bright yellow flames blooming beneath her feet.
BOOM!
A pillar of golden Ki soared into the sky from the distant sea area. That terrifyingly extreme kinetic force even transformed into ocean waves and gales sweeping over to their location.
Looking from the sky, the golden shockwave seemed to tear open the atmosphere, directly dispersing everything in the sky.
The golden Ki was pure and powerful.
Yoko's hair was blown up by the Ki, and her emerald eyes closed slightly.
"Mercenary Tao... truly pure power~"
"How wonderful, how truly wonderful~!"
Fenrir was completely ignited by the Concussive Pulse of the Spiritual Light. Listening to Yoko's murmur, he felt a highly unnatural rhythm in the trailing notes of Yoko's voice for the first time.
It was an uplifted, ascending, and even somewhat twisted, bizarre tone.
As if... it was something Mercenary Tao would utter.
Screech!
The next moment, the Crown of Heaven's Pilgrimage lit up. Yoko transformed into a golden sword light, shooting straight toward the horizon.
