Chapter 434: Dragon Slaying (1)
While Feng Bujue had temporarily left the scenario, an earth-shattering battle was occurring beneath the Blast Tunnel. The leader of Demons raised his right arm. ROOT said lightly with no change to her expression, “An unreasonable creature who likes to fight can be seen as god.”
“Laughable.” The leader of demon scoffed. “The Gods are naturally a presence beyond the natural. What does the moral standard of those creature who I have trampled got to do with me? The God’s will is the truth and the god’s action is the principle, so how is it unreasonable?” His index finger pointed sharply at ROOT. “Just like the Master of Time, King of Nether Abyss, Court of Truth… and you, Anomaly. Each of you have your own standpoint and perspective, you each have your own batch of ‘followers’, but at the end of the day…’godliness’ depends on power.” As he said, the energy exploded at the tip of his finger. A black flame shot out towards ROOT. This blast was at least 3 times more powerful than the lazer unleashed by Y2-Bright Glow in his ultimate form. Even though ROOT was guarded, when the demon flame came at her, she realized she was unable to avoid it and was hit.
“The world that the travellers came from is filled with lies.” The leader of Demon looked at ROOT who was engulfed in flame and said, “Because religion provides comfort to their weak and lost souls. So they have created religions and Gods. But… those are just self-serving illusions. The conflict between religions are nothing but the altercation between their own set of justice and power. And our world reflect theirs. Every God and every factors stand behind their own believes and refuse to budge. The only way to solve the problem is still through force. To put it simply… there is no ‘god’ in the world, or rather… every creature, is their own ‘god’.”
By then the demon flame had ended and ROOT said, “Is that so…” her body turned into a Newtonian state of mercury and was slowly recovering. “What you mean is that… for different consciousness, the standard of good and evil is different… and that make the concept of ‘principle’ meaningless.” She paused. “Everything is chaos and only power is truth. Therefore, the powerful… is god.”
“Ha ha ha…” The leader of Demon appeared to know that ROOT would not die so easily. He chuckled. “Very good, now I shall give you two choices.” The four evil eyes were glowing strangely. “One, get out of my territory, two, disappear.”
“But your statement is laughable in itself.” ROOT had returned to her normal state and looked unwounded. “Even though I cannot use my full potential here… but you have greatly overestimated yourself.” She focused her gaze. “What makes you think that I am weaker than you?” Then, suddenly, a light beam shot up into the sky, enveloping the Leader of Demons inside it.
…
Faraway, on another battlefield.
“That is…” D1-Drake raised his eyes to look at the light beam that was conspicuous in the dark. The explosion of light reflected the jade-like pupils in his eyes until they shone. “It has finally started…”
“Qie… he is still free enough to look about…” in the air, Brahma rushed forward, a whirlpool-like energy gathering in his palm. “I squash your face like a melon!”
…
Even though D1-Drake was surrounded, he looked very much at ease.
“Hmm?” Drake recovered, narrowed his eyes at Brahma and scoffed. “When did you stand up again?” Then with a wave of his finger, a flame wall appeared in the air. This casual skill forced Brahma back.
[This thing is too powerful… there is no weakness at all.] Vishnu thought internally. [It’s the same thing when we fought ‘that kid’ last time… the number advantage means nothing.] At this moment, he was already injured so he retreated further away from the battlefield so he could observe the battle better.
“We can’t let this go on anymore.” Yama who was behind the enemy used her whip to make a long distance attack, “I’ll have to try that…” At that moment, she seemed to make a decision. She suddenly turned and retreated for 10 metres. Then she ran up the side of a building and reached to the top.
“Boss!” After she steadied herself, she screamed. The four from Brahman had worked together for so many years so their cooperation was unquestionable. They knew very well each other’s skill and items. Therefore, without any other words, Shiva knew Yama was preparing to use ‘that skill’.
“Leave it to us!” Shiva’s eyes swept Brahma and Vishnu, the two nodded back. The three separated and used their skill.
“Going to make those harmless and meaningless attempts again?” D1-Drake assessed the change coldly. For him, no matter what the four did, it posed no threat to him. The only reason he allowed the battle to go on for so long was because he was told to capture the players alive. If he wanted to end the battle soon, he could have killed all four of them in one minute.
“There’s only so far you can look down on someone!” At this point, Brahma was a boiling pot of fire. Seeing the chance of victory, he was hyped. He dashed forward and with a shout, activated his title skill. When he was about 5 metres away from Drake, Brahma raised both of his arms, opened his palms and attacked.
BANG! The heavy blow did not aim at D1-Drake but fell from the sky above. Even though the skill Earthshock was not that powerful, it had a very high accuracy rate. Basically no one would be able to avoid it. D1-Drake only felt a heavy gravity pulling him down, causing the blood in his body to boil. In that moment, he felt like he was free-falling and his feet failed to find purchase. Even for him, he almost tripped and fell backwards. But Drake’s child size gave him the advantage. Since he was light and had a low centre of gravity, he only took half step back to steady himself.
“Hmph… Another worthless trick…” before he finished, a shadow appeared before him. The fist as large as an elephant trunk shot at him. The person behind it was Vishnu. At that very same moment, while the giant fist block Drake’s view, Shiva used his fastest speed to move to Drake’s side.
“Why? You still wish to try to come into direct contact with my body?” Drake turned his face calmly around and told Shiva who was right next to him.
The dishevelled hair before Shiva’s forehead did nothing to hide his beast like gaze. “At worst, it burns.” He said darkly and reached out his arm to grab Drake by his shoulder. Then, there was a spark…
It was the sound made when Shiva touched Drake’s shoulder. His whole hand felt like he was touching an iron plate and it was smoking. The shirt sleeve caught on fire instantly.
“It feels like I’m touching lava directly…” Shiva glared at the man and hissed, “A rare experience indeed…”
“Hmph… I believe this is what you humans call ‘having nothing to lose’ is it…” Drake scoffed with derision and with a swat of his hand, easily flung away the player who was currently on the second place on the combat stat ranking. Ignoring the danger of their boss, Vishnu controlled the giant copper hand and blasted the enemy with it.
“I can use a single finger… to deal with this thing…” Drake stopped because he noticed something was wrong…
Dong..
With a strange noise, Drake was like a baseball that was hit and flew into the air.
“Qie… Null-G Contact is it?” Drake grumbled with annoyance.
With Shiva’s skil, even though the Copper Fist did no damage to Drake, it managed to send the man flying to the air.
“The three gave everything to send me into the sky, but why…” Drake soon realized something was up. He instantly lowered his head and started to search and analyse.
As he expected, when Yama entered his gaze…
