Bang——!!
John fell from high altitude to the ground, but fortunately, she is a God Slayer, and her body is exceptionally tough, with bones harder than any alloy in the world.
So she survived; if it were an ordinary person, they would have died from the fall long ago.
"Taurus, Virgo, and now Pisces... could it be that his techniques are all based on the Zodiac signs that rotate around the Sun...?" John propped himself up with both hands and stood up, guessing; through the broken part of the mask, a look of contemplation could be seen.
John barely managed to stand up and activated the ultimate transformation of the [Super Transformation] authority:
"To destroy you, I shall tell you of my great deeds—I, the almighty, can utilize the people and make them all my slaves. I am the wind of the night, I govern heaven and earth, the most noble Magus! I call upon the Night Axe of the End! God of creation and destruction! Burn away along with my flesh!"
While chanting the Kotodama, John's own body began to burn, and the moisture accumulated in the surrounding clouds instantly flew to John's side.
'Flames of Annihilation.' If this transformation is used without a powerful body, the user themselves will be burned to death. After use, the local area will fall into a drought without rain, so only the powerful bodies of heretic gods and God Slayers can use it.
John's entire figure vanished, transforming into a powerful pale-black flame, a concrete symbol of the'Sun,' obtaining the power to destroy everything by burning her own body.
"Beast of the Apocalypse! Now that I have obtained the power to destroy the world! Can you still oppose me now?!" John's voice rang out from within the pale-black flames, speaking loudly.
As the words fell, the Flames of Annihilation flew into the air and turned into a pitch-black sun, then launched terrifying pale-black flames at Huang.
"Hāṃ (Acala)!!" Huang pressed his palms together and loudly chanted Sanskrit; as the word meaning 'immovable' came out, a wall of light with flowing Buddhist scriptures appeared before him.
The Buddhist light, full of uprightness and mercy, blocked out the evil pale-black flames; Huang defended against this move.
Huang's eyes revealed a look of seriousness as he looked at the Flames of Annihilation in the sky, saying in a ready stance: "Since you've used your most powerful form, then I shall return the favor with my most powerful secret technique."
As soon as Huang's voice fell, two different kinds of Cosmos emanated from his body: one was a golden Cosmos symbolizing angelic kindness, and the other was a purple Cosmos symbolizing demonic evil.
Clack!
Huang raised his hands high and crossed them; the two completely different Cosmoss blended with each other, and the Gemini constellation of the Zodiac appeared behind him.
'The intertwining of good and evil is indeed a characteristic of Gemini! That's the fourth Zodiac constellation. What technique will it be this time?' John, transformed into the Flames of Annihilation, thought while looking at Huang's peculiar pose.
In the instant John was thinking, the surrounding environment changed into outer space, with countless unknown planets floating about, while John, as the Flames of Annihilation, hung in the center like a pitch-black sun.
"Galaxian Explosion!!" Huang's crossed arms swung forcefully to the left and right sides.
Boom boom boom boom boom——!!!
All the planets within the space suddenly exploded and shattered, and a massive amount of energy turned into a terrifying shockwave that poured entirely onto the Flames of Annihilation; its power was comparable to a galactic explosion that could destroy the Milky Way.
Although it is a wide-range destruction technique, it can also compress the energy that destroys a galaxy to only destroy the intended target.
"Aaaaaah——!!" The Flames of Annihilation felt the terrifying shockwave generated by the crushing of the galactic stars; the flames on her body began to dissipate continuously as she let out wails of pain.
Huang controlled his strength and did not completely destroy John. After receiving that terrifying impact, she was covered in wounds; the transformation deactivated, and she reverted to human form.
She fell to the ground with a thud. With a "crack," the mask covering her face shattered, revealing her true appearance.
After seeing John's true face, Huang discovered that it was not a "he," but a "she." She was a heroic-looking woman with glasses and short red hair. At first glance, she looked male, but a closer look revealed she had no Adam's apple, and from the scent on her body, she was indeed a woman.
"I didn't expect John Smith's true identity to be a woman," Huang said, looking at the fallen John, and then slowly reached out his hand toward her.
John used the last of her strength to open her eyes and struggled to use her hands to push herself off the ground and away.
After putting some distance between herself and Huang, John's trembling hands reached into her bosom, took out a glass bottle containing an orange liquid, opened the cap, and drank the liquid inside in one gulp.
The damage brought to her by the Galaxian Explosion was entirely eliminated, and her physical condition was restored.
God Slayers possess a powerful resistance to magical energy; whether it is benevolent or malicious magic, it will be deflected unless the magic (or potion) is injected directly into the body through mouth-to-mouth contact, otherwise it will not take effect.
Furthermore, what she drank was the 'Water of Life,' known as the secret medicine among secret medicines in alchemy. She had obtained it through many underground channels, and there was only one bottle, but the effect was excellent—it could restore one's physical state to its peak.
Huang looked at John, his gaze seemingly piercing through everything about her: "Who are you? John Pluto Smith should be your pseudonym. What is your true name?"
"Annie. Annie Charlton," she said her true name directly, her voice sounding very heroic.
After speaking, Annie took out a magic gun; it was a steel-colored gun, a six-shot large-caliber pistol. It had a steady steel color and a heavy, resolute appearance.
This gun was forged by a Dark Elf blacksmith living in the Nether Realm, who collected rare Orichalcum to specially make the world's only magic gun for Annie; no one else could use it but her.
If Annie were not present, this magic gun would indeed be like scrap metal.
"Do you still want to fight? Even if you've endured one Galaxian Explosion, you are no match for me," Huang said, stepping forward in an arc while looking at Annie.
Annie moved in the opposite direction of Huang, as if the two were circling each other, and gripped the magic gun tightly with both hands, saying: "True, I am indeed no match for you, but I cannot tolerate an evil beast like you committing atrocities here."
