Chapter 808: Over-Spec, King of Monsters!
Golden Ki, like a miraculous torch ascending on this primal planet, shone with incomparable brilliance when viewed from the outer layer of the world.
The thick atmosphere on the planet's surface was blown away directly, and irrepressible rings of Ki fluctuations wantonly spread in all directions.
Then, a terrifying presence that could no longer be restrained rapidly expanded. Golden rings of Ki waves, almost tangible, crashed against the Sea Demon and Thor's bodies.
Zzt~ Zzt!
The divine power on the surface of Thor's body crackled under the impact of the golden Ki. He actually felt a faint stinging sensation.
It was as if this overly violent energy was madly compressing the divine power on the surface of his body.
The Sea Demon, transformed from the psionic ocean, had its surface caved in by the tidal wave-like impact. Its hollow facial features became twisted. The blue-white psionic energy violently scraped against the golden Ki, reflecting a myriad of colors in the surrounding air.
The Extinction Monarch Tassadar was terrified inwardly. Such a terrifying energy intensity would almost make one think it was another version of himself...
But he was a Protoss, a race innately dominant over psionic energy in the universe, and a standout among his kind. He was born to dominate psionic energy and used it as his sole means of survival.
The one opposite him... was a martial artist!
For a martial artist to command an energy intensity on par with his own...
The next moment, Tassadar overturned his own guess. Martial artists were different from psionic users. A mature martial artist would absolutely never let their Ki leak outwards; a martial artist's Ki should be tamed within the body. Every thread of Ki would erupt with multiplied power under the martial artist's control!
Could the person before him be the kind of weak martial artist who couldn't even control their Ki?
No, the person before him could be called a God of Martial Combat!
He was an ultimate martial artist who had at least stepped into the divine domain.
For Ki to be uncontrollable by such a person and erupt wantonly from within his body could only mean... a terrifying, extremely terrifying quantity!
The nerve cords behind Tassadar's head trembled incessantly. He was overcome by an almost irrepressible fear.
It was the fear of his one and only life approaching its end.
BOOM!
The powerful aura, which could no longer be concealed, fully exploded. Under the effect of the [Key of Miracles], which allowed him to activate abilities while ignoring almost any consumption or cost for a short period, Kaito Shirogane finally activated the Sixteen-Fold Kaio-Ken directly in this world.
Under the effect of the Key of Miracles, Kaito Shirogane's Tier 5 Physique of the Primordial Man sustained absolutely no damage. The golden miracle flowed within him.
The illusory stairway fully manifested behind Kaito Shirogane.
Absolute Good and Absolute Evil, Destiny and Miracles...
At this moment, the light of the stairway belonging to Miracles was incomparably dazzling.
The so-called miracle was the power to turn the impossible into the possible.
"Hah~"
For the first time when executing a high-multiplier Kaio-Ken, Kaito Shirogane didn't feel the agony of his flesh and body being torn apart at every moment, nor did the massive rupturing of blood vessels in his body turn the Ki on the surface of his body crimson.
This was the most perfect Sixteen-Fold Kaio-Ken.
A Sixteen-Fold Kaio-Ken tamed under the Martial God's Ultimate Intent.
Kaito Shirogane unconsciously exhaled and voiced out. It wasn't a loud shout; he merely spoke softly with a rising intonation, as if he himself were marveling at his own power.
At this moment, Kaito Shirogane was completely intoxicated by the unparalleled power within him.
Ever since he first entered the Infinite Dimensional Space and the Dragon Ball world, he had been pursuing such power.
Today, he had finally touched the realm of the Z Fighters.
Intoxicated by his own power, Kaito Shirogane's muscles relaxed. His physique barely changed; only his long black hair became fluffy and flowed upward due to the Ki escaping from his body.
He didn't even notice that his expression at this moment had become an arrogance that overlooked everything and everyone.
A being that is too powerful often fails to see existences that are far too weak.
Just as a human walking would hardly notice the ants beneath their feet.
Zzt~ Zzt...
The golden Ki naturally spread outwards like lightning. The psionic energy filling the sky and ocean was pushed aside by the intense Ki.
On the aerospace battleship, which had already been pushed away by the aftershocks of the previous terrifying battle, the few people were also completely frozen.
Ritsu, who had narrowly escaped death, had her golden trident pressed against the breastplate of an Astartes, but the intense psionic energy on the breastplate prevented her from breaking through.
Meanwhile, the Astartes' battle axe was raised high above Ritsu's head.
Behind her, the silver-white liquid metal robot was taking shape on the deck, its right hand transforming into a sharp blade, about to pierce Ritsu's chest.
But Ritsu's eyes were trembling, unblinking as she watched the golden wave of Ki soaring into the sky.
That place was as dazzling as the sun, and as intoxicating as the sun.
Mercenary Tao... Mercenary Tao... Mercenary Tao!
Yes, yes, yes! This is power, this is... power!
Ritsu seemed to have witnessed an absolute masterpiece. The rhythm of the heart within her could no longer be restrained, and ripples began to appear.
"Undo the ability quickly, you fool!"
The divine power on Thor's body began to collapse. The brilliant thunder divine power had completely retracted into his body from the surrounding sky.
His tone was anxious, devoid of his previous composure.
The True Gods of the Void Paradise and the Monarchs of the Machina Court were generally considered to be of the same tier, both being the Fourth Sequence of their respective sides. But in actual combat...
When it came to single combat capability, True Gods were undoubtedly a notch higher, while Machina Monarchs were more adept at planetary-level warfare—battles against civilizations.
Yet at this moment, Thor felt a mixture of anger and fear toward this Extinction Monarch, who was slightly weaker than him.
He was angry at the other's stupidity. To actually divide his attention to check his own status while executing such an ability—did he want to get both of them killed by that God of Martial Arts?
And he was afraid because he too felt a shudder from that God of Martial Arts, who was erupting with a terrifying oppressive presence.
When did the Infinite Dimensional Space possess such a thing...
Over-spec! Absolutely an over-spec monster even among True Gods!
Besides those Black Kings of unknown origin, a new monster had been born in that newly established Space!
Thor's divine sense made it very clear to him that the Nameless God of Martial Arts' current state could be called an abnormal miracle, a fleeting spark of brilliance.
But this fleeting spark was a bit too dazzling—so dazzling that even he was afraid of being ignited!
Thor's divine sense crashed directly into Tassadar's mind. Adept at psionic energy, Tassadar's will and spirit were extremely resilient, but he was still stunned by the impact before quickly reacting.
The Sea Demon controlled by Tassadar abruptly shrank in size. He realized his stupidity. Amidst the great terror of life and death, Tassadar found that his so-called will of extinction was nothing more than an arrogant delusion born from the belief that he wouldn't die.
Because his own life wasn't threatened, he could form the ideology of wantonly depriving others of theirs.
He hated those Elite-level or even Authority-level mechanical lifeforms who lost their drive because they wouldn't die, simply because he himself had already reached the Monarch level.
Even in a Dimensional War, there were few events that could take his life. Until the intensity rose to that level, he could always survive.
Tassadar's brain, operating at ultra-high speed, rapidly changed his ideology: he wanted to live!
The moment the Sea Demon's size shrank, the psionic energy enveloping the entire heaven and earth and ocean instantly retracted. He abandoned the highly consuming technique [Grasping Heaven and Earth] because he had already noticed that the God of Martial Arts had broken free.
Therefore, Tassadar only left half of the psionic energy to precisely control... the space where Thunder God Thor was located!
On Tassadar's purple, gilded body, psionic energy flickered like patterns. He hadn't undergone mechanical modification, but the rationality rooted in the spirit of mechanical lifeforms persisted throughout.
Tassadar had no concept of treachery or breaking faith. He merely judged that facing such a terrifying over-spec Monarch-level martial artist, even if he joined forces with True God Thor, one of them would highly likely fall.
Since that was the case, he simply abandoned that option and turned to protect his own survival.
Sacrificing Thor to preserve himself was the natural choice of a mechanical lifeform.
Thor also realized this. Amidst his fury, his True God body was instantly liberated.
He had originally harbored the hope that Tassadar would release him and fully control the Nameless God of Martial Arts, and then he would liberate his Divine Body, activate Divine Words, and fight with all his might.
Thor believed that even against an over-spec True God, with him and Tassadar—two experts of the Fourth Sequence—teaming up, they still had a chance to win.
But he didn't expect the so-called Extinction Monarch to have absolutely no courage. Overwhelmed by anger, his elementalized body instantly collapsed. Golden divine power traced intricate divine patterns on the surface of his body.
The True Thunder God descends!
Zzt!
A bolt of lightning seemingly struck from beyond the heavens, hitting the frozen Thor directly. Heaven and earth were instantly illuminated. Everything else dimmed, except for...
Kaito Shirogane, enveloped in golden Ki.
Thor's pupils trembled. At this moment, with his Divine Body liberated, pupils resembling two lightning bolts pieced together appeared in his eyes. A massive halo of divine light perfectly manifested behind him.
His presence began to oppress the material world. Rings of divine power clashed with materialized psionic energy, allowing Thor to gain a bit of room to maneuver.
Electric currents began to wildly shuttle within the tiny space. In an instant, high voltage began to spread in all directions.
But Thor himself inexplicably fell silent at this moment.
He felt an abnormally terrifying focus sweeping over his body.
That God of Martial Arts, who had become terrifyingly strong after undergoing a transformation, had stopped his "self-admiration" at some unknown point and was now looking down at him and Tassadar with lowered eyelids.
"Are you ready, Monarch? True God?"
Deep, indifferent, cold.
The voice seemed to ring directly in his ears, its tone carrying unconcealed mockery and nonchalance.
Tassadar, standing on the seabed, was also swept by that gaze. His body stiffened, unable to understand why the other party still included him in the attack range after he had already helped control True God Thor.
He only needed a single spatial jump to escape this battlefield. The remaining Thor would completely allow the other party to "devour" him without any cost.
He imagined that for that newly born Infinite Dimensional Space, the [Information] of a True God would already be an extremely delicious harvest.
Thor understood what this meant even better than Tassadar. It meant that contrary to Tassadar's plan of using him as bait to escape, and contrary to his own plan of cooperating with Tassadar to fight to the death...
In the eyes of that Nameless God of Martial Arts, he and Tassadar were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
He didn't want to let a single one go!
"Truly... arrogant!"
Thor bellowed loudly. Thunder instantly expanded in all directions like a shockwave forming a plane.
Lacking the will to fight, Tassadar instantly retracted his psionic energy. The space behind him cracked piece by piece like glass, and a pitch-black rift directly swallowed his body.
He chose to abandon the battle and flee the battlefield outright.
The range of the golden Thunder God Domain was immense. In almost an instant, it occupied an area of thousands of kilometers like a cross-section, and it was rapidly eroding the space occupied by psionic energy.
In this desperate situation, Thor erupted with unprecedented power, overwhelmingly shattering half of Tassadar's [Grasping Heaven and Earth].
BOOM!
Terrifying divine might swept through heaven and earth. The ocean directly caved downwards, exposing a massive crater thousands of kilometers wide. A True God walking the earth had begun to exert a massive influence on the material world.
Thor clenched his right hand in the air, condensing his Thunder Authority into a manifested golden spear. He looked toward the God of Martial Arts, only to find the other party's figure empty.
Shattering and dissipating amidst the golden frenzy he had stirred up.
He escaped?!
Hum~ Bang bang bang bang bang bang...
Countless sonic booms erupted from extremely close to extremely far away, and in an instant, from extremely far to extremely close.
Fan-shaped sonic boom clouds linked together into a dense chain in the sky.
At the end of the chain...
BOOM!
The atmosphere seemed to blow apart, bursting into a blazing white sonic boom cloud in front of Thor. Naturally, the pure kinetic force and high heat generated by air friction couldn't affect the True God Thor.
But his pupils still shrank abruptly. The two lightning-like pupils unconsciously rotated.
"Ugh~ Urk..."
The Extinction Monarch Tassadar's mouth opened and closed, but no complete sound emerged. Only liquefied psionic energy flowed out along with blood from his severed neck, mouth, and nose.
This highly renowned Fourth Sequence Monarch of the Machina Court, in the instant after executing a spatial jump to escape, was actually presented before him, his head held by the Infinite Dimensional Space's Nameless God of Martial Arts?!
Zzt...
Imperceptible electric currents shuttled from his tailbone all the way into the Divine Sea in his brain, and even the divine light behind him shook violently once.
Thor felt that terror known as trembling. His divine power collapsed. He opened his mouth, activating Divine Words.
"Thunderclap!"
BOOM!
The Thunder God Domain, having lost the influence of Grasping Heaven and Earth, had long since expanded to an unknown range. But accompanied by Thor's explosive shout, the entire domain instantly exploded with golden thunder.
Devastating high heat and penetration swept through everything, carrying the Thunder God's domineering authority that forbade all foreign energies.
Pfft!
In an explosion where light and heat lost all meaning, Thor saw a hand enveloped in a golden luster tear open the lightning before him, revealing the indifferent and terrifying face behind it.
Thor dropped the Thunder Battle Axe in his other hand, gripped the projected Spear of Gungnir tightly with both hands, and thrust forward.
That God of Martial Arts seemed to reveal a look of joy—it might have been an illusion—but Thor only felt the other party's left hand grab directly towards the tip of Gungnir.
Amidst the spread of some pitch-black lightning, a terrifying shockwave erupted from that hand and Gungnir.
Zzt~ Crack!
The force on that hand was incredibly terrifying, more fearsome than any Hercules Thor had ever felt.
That was no longer the physical strength a Fourth Sequence should possess.
Thor felt his hands being pushed back bit by bit. The next moment, the index finger of the God of Martial Arts' free right hand extended, slowly pointing towards the space between his eyebrows.
Thor felt a stinging pain between his eyebrows; his divine power was almost disintegrating.
Screech~
"Forbid!"
Divine Words activated again, but the golden divine power flashed by, and the golden Ki at the other party's fingertip remained condensed and unscattered.
Pfft!
Golden Ki pierced the space between his eyebrows. Thor's Sea of Consciousness went black, and his figure involuntarily flew backward.
His consciousness began to darken.
Am I going to die?!
No, I can still live!
Intense divinity scraped behind Thor. Divine fire was instantly ignited. As long as the divine fire burns, a god will not die!
Screech~ Pfft!
Another golden light pierced through.
Thor saw golden lines condense in front of the God of Martial Arts, followed by the appearance of a special long spear. The next moment, that long spear was covered in pitch-black intent of death.
This is...
Swoosh!
The speed at which the Spear of Longinus was thrown wasn't fast; Thor even felt he could have easily caught it when he was in perfect condition. But that spear effortlessly pierced his chest.
Intent of death permeated.
