Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 1035 The First Horizon War!

A deafening low-frequency roar suddenly erupted above the canyon, as if an invisible giant was tearing the sky apart.

[Drip stain~ drip stain~]

In that instant, the three Storm Kings, who were engulfed in impotent rage, all changed their expressions.

"What's that noise?" The Thunder King looked up abruptly.

The King of Clouds reacted the fastest, his pupils shrinking sharply: "Oh no! That's... the Horizon's Terrorist Mobile Company!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the clouds above the canyon were torn apart by a series of blue flames. More than twenty giant airships, like a steel fleet under the sky, were lined up above the canyon, like aerial winches pressing down!

Below it, accompanied by high-frequency mechanical resonance, a densely packed army of Fermi ant-like minions leaped down from beneath the floating vehicle like a torrent!
Clad in dark brown armor, they were tall and imposing, with limbs as sharp as blades, and moved with the speed and agility of a storm. Their armor was covered with nano-textured patterns of ablation, and every movement was controlled with the precision of a metallic nervous system. Their tail thrusters would occasionally spew out short bursts of blue flame, instantly enabling small-scale air jumps and distributed flanking maneuvers, dazzling the eye.

Amidst the rumbling of the ground, the six-legged spider-shaped heavy firepower platform emerged from the crack in the earth, its metal limbs firmly embedded in the rubble and soil. Its main gun system, with its rows of cannons and flashing cold-colored data lights, locked onto the target below.

These are recruits from the Fomi Ant Clan from Jawbone City. Xia Xiu specifically asked the Fomi Ant Queen for these recruits. It has to be said that the Ant Queen really knows her place. She really wants to get on the ship of Heaven.

Even if it means paying a tithe and accepting a enlightened dictatorship, it would still be a worthwhile investment for the queen ant.

She always believed that Heaven would win the Ivy War, and that all the heavens and the myriad realms had no chance of defeating Heaven.

Since she had chosen to follow the Lord of the Horizon, she had to go all in. So when Xia Xiu asked her to send her ground troops to fight, she did not hesitate to dispatch her elite forces.

This unit has a total of 10,000 troops!

Now, two complete terrorist mobile companies, together with a fully-fledged Fermi Ant Clan battle group, under Xia Xiu's [Möbius Ring] leadership, have directly jumped from Far East City to this location.

It came without warning!

The Cloud King's face was ashen. "Large-scale spatial displacement ability, the Lord of the Horizon is truly a master strategist. In this chaotic world, only the Black Wall he built can bypass spatial disorder."

The King of Thunder glared angrily, his halo of lightning flashing intensely above his head.

However, before he could even speak, the side cabin of the first airborne vehicle in the air had already opened.

Golden light instantly illuminated half of the canyon!
A giant humanoid figure stepped out!

Its massive body, over five meters tall, gleamed with golden armor that shone brightly in the sunlight; the surface of the armor was covered with armor projected from the [customized] ability.

As Xia Xiu entered his war stance, his long golden hair fluttered wildly in the air pressure waves, making him look like a conqueror who had broken through the clouds and descended from the realm of gods.

He looked down at the three native gods below the canyon, a smile playing on his lips, his voice booming like a judgment bell above the canyon:

Good morning, members of the Storm Alliance!

The expressions of the three Storm Kings simultaneously turned serious.

Facing that man, they knew there was no way out.

"Go together!!!"

The Thunder King roared, and then made the first move. He raised his arm, and the runes of authority unfolded layer by layer in the air, like nerves weaving an electric current.

[Elements of Thunder·Ten Thousand Thunders! 】

The King of Clouds exhaled a breath, and the dense clouds twisted, compressed, and churned at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming suspended ionized vortices on the ground accompanied by the vibration of extreme pressure particles.

[The Elements of Clouds: A Stormy Era!]

The King of Rain closed his eyes, and as his power flowed, the humidity in the atmosphere rose rapidly. The water vapor saturated to its limit in a very short time, and hundreds of crystal ripples rose from the ground, like a boiling altar.

[The Element of Clouds: Dark Rain!]

The next second, the sky suddenly exploded.

The enormous celestial anomalies slowly unfolded like the curtain of doomsday:

The gale tore through the air, with wind speeds exceeding 120 meters per second, directly creating a turbulent shear zone; lightning roared like the whip of hell, instantly achieving a supersaturated electric field discharge reaction within the clouds, with thousands of plasma chains simultaneously striking the earth.

The cloud layer collapsed, forming an overpressured cirrus cloud wall.

The rain blotted out the sky, enveloping the entire canyon; the ground collapsed due to concentrated rainfall, and the downpour was like a torrential ocean, with single-point hourly rainfall exceeding 900 millimeters.

At the same time, a massive thundercloud complex appeared above the heads of the three kings, and the storm domain formed by their authority had forcibly reset the weather rules of the entire canyon.

In the upper troposphere, supercritical water vapor begins to condense abnormally, forming a rain cone structure resembling a mirror. Micro-seismic events and electroosmotic effects appear on the surface, and grayish-white electric sparks flash continuously in space, indicating that the physical constants of the entire canyon are undergoing subtle changes.

"Die, Hugh Abraham!" the Thunder King roared, as if billions of thunderbolts were roaring from his mouth.

However, the man standing at the forefront of the hovercar, clad in golden armor and with a figure as imposing as a god, simply reached out and took a long silver staff, commensurate with his height, from behind him.

Two elemental inscriptions appeared on [Lever of Heaven]: [Lightning] and [Clouds].

"You think..." Xia Xiu's voice was low, yet like a thunderbolt piercing through a storm, "that I would let you take away control of the skies?"

He thrust the [Lever of Heaven] into the ground with a bang. The moment the long rod touched the earth's crust, it triggered a strong resonance feedback. Rings of silvery-white echoing ripples spread out like radar scans, piercing directly through the sky.

[Information hacking initiated!]

The target area has been identified as a semi-independent meteorological tectonic domain.

【Analyzing——】

[Multiple information authority interference detected]

[Analysis of Dominant Authority: Storm Domain (Constructed by the Collaboration of Three Kings)]

[The process of seizing sovereignty begins—]

[Simultaneous Unlock: Information Authority "Thunder" - Overwrite Successful]

[Simultaneous Unlocking: Information Authority "Cloud and Mist" - Coverage Successful]

[Reverse projection: Initiating a black box intrusion...]

[Data Simulation Mode Activated]

[Activate – Information Overload Clash!]

In that instant, it was as if three super quantum processors were hacking at Xia Xiu's information authority.

[A battle for data access is underway...]

Before the physical world collapsed, the battle for virtual authority had already begun.

The divine cores of the three Storm Kings have all been unlocked and are operating at the first threshold (10 times/second), constructing a vast neuromorphic information network. The authority logic unfolds like a series of distributed firewalls, resisting Xia Xiu's intrusion in the high-dimensional information domain.

The King of Thunder manipulates polarization authority encoding, attempting to construct a reverse ring link using the reverse charge distribution to circumvent data intrusion.

The King of Clouds then released a smokescreen of information using a disguised redundant hash, with a large number of fake nodes spreading like a torrential rain in the intelligence layer, attempting to overwhelm Xia Xiu's privileged crawler.

The King of Rain was even more radical. He initiated a sovereignty verification mechanism, requiring every instruction to be verified by a logical key jointly encrypted by the three kings, attempting to completely isolate external signals from the source of the protocol.

However, their computational intensity has always remained at the first threshold, which is around 2×10 times/second (20 trillion).

At this moment, Xia Xiu's [Triple Crown] was rotating synchronously behind him, and his floating-point resources rose to the second threshold of 5 × 10 times/second (50 trillion), just like a high-frequency ether engine burning at an overheated temperature, which was not even in the same order of magnitude.

——【ACCESS OVERRIDE】 Enter permission overwrite mode.

"Hack complete." Xia Xiu's face showed a pleased smile.

The electric arc transformed into a raw electrical signal stream, erupting from the crown node that emerged behind him, piercing directly through the clouds and tearing out an ether-level connection channel in the information space.

Ethereum sidechain bootstrapping complete.

Target node location in progress... Namespace reconstruction.

Permissions replacement successful.

Xia Xiu's calculation system has taken over the data flow of the entire celestial system.

Instead of launching a direct attack, he directly wrote the mixed information leader's signature from the Cloud Mist Authority into the Thunder King's main brain, causing the opponent's permission feedback to fall into an infinite loop of logical deadlock.

[Permission variables cannot be updated; the current control chain has been taken over!!!]

[Ray Elephant Variable: Offset.]

At the same time, the master control script of the lightning authority was replaced by a forced variable, the ionization path was directly hijacked, and the discharge structure of the cloud was reversed and closed, forming a controllable ring voltage circuit, forcibly shutting down the sovereignty of the King of Lightning.

Next is the King of Clouds.

[The neural network deception has been cracked—startup permission shadow tracking.]

At that moment, Xia Xiu's ethereal thought transformed into an invisible ghost, forcibly climbing backward from the bottom of the intelligence chain—that is, the source of the fabricated logic constructed by the Cloud King—precisely severing those seemingly redundant pseudo-nodes one by one, like a nanoblade precisely cutting a virus.

"...Permissions have been changed."

When Xia Xiu completely conquered the second authority node, the celestial system of thunder and clouds collapsed instantly. The surrounding discharge phenomena and fog calculations were interrupted simultaneously, and the authority naturally leaked out, like a crown falling.

The King of Rain gritted his teeth and struggled to maintain the integrity of the last piece of the intelligence network, but it was only a belated defense.

Xia Xiu did not turn around to look at the two deities whose systems had been shut down.

He whispered the name "Vasak".

A silver incarnation appeared behind Xia Xiu, and the two eyes on the inverted triangular skull suddenly lit up.

"Vasak, stop time!"

A silvery-white light emerged from behind Xia Xiu, like the light of revelation as the sky split open.

Amidst that dazzling light, a tall, menacing figure, shrouded in shadow and silence, slowly descended.

Vasak's figure seemed to emerge from nothingness, wearing an inverted triangular bone helmet, his face shrouded in darkness, with only two deep purple pupils shining like the sharpest light in the eternal galaxy.

Xia Xiu's voice resounded through the heavens like a decree of judgment:
"Vasak, stop time from flowing."

"Buzz——"

In that instant, the world fell silent.

It's not a delay, not a slowdown, but the very essence of time being forcibly frozen.

The hovercar remained stationary in the air, the flames of the cannons were frozen at the muzzle, lightning hovered in the air as steel needles, the dark clouds in the sky faded like an oil painting, and raindrops hung in the air like an unfallen judgment.

[Time-stop start confirmation]

[0.49s——]

[0.48s——]

In the gray, frozen world, Xia Xiu took a step forward, his movements devoid of superfluity, displaying only a godlike certainty.

The Möbius strip beneath his feet folded space, like igniting a twisted superstring track in a time-stopped space, and each of his steps traversed tens of meters of space.

Fold, unfold.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the three Storm Kings—Thunder, Cloud, and Rain. The three supreme divine crowned beings were frozen like statues at this moment, as if they had become a scene in a still scroll of history.

At this moment, the two avatars behind Xia Xiu appeared simultaneously:
Behind him, [Sisyphus] unfurled with a roar, his purple-gold body burning with runes of pure power, his fists clenched like a collapsing mountain; [Metatron] descended like divine revelation, his three pairs of wings unfurling, holy flames burning on the holy swords in his hands, the wings constructed of light particles like a projection of the divine court.

In this gray-white time dimension, Xia Xiu did not use any weapons, but instead, in his five-meter-tall golden powered battle form, he punched the King of Thunder in the face!

[0.37s——]

The Thunder King's facial defensive runes began to crumble, and before his body could even react, a giant golden fist had already ripped away his divine defenses.

At the same time, Sisyphus struck the Cloud King in the chest with unreasonable force, and the sonic boom echoed in the frozen world.

Metatron, on the other hand, crossed his twin swords, his holy flames scorching the rules, and directly cleaved the Rain King from his shoulder and neck, the light particles of fire burning across the runic structure on the projection of his crown.

[0.12s——]

Time will soon resume.

Xia Xiu stepped back, his three avatars intertwined and returned to their positions, transforming into three illusory figures echoing with divine power and merging back into his main body.

The next second, the frozen world shattered like a broken mirror.

"Buzz——"

The world began to flow.

Real time has been restored!

At that moment, it seemed as if heaven and earth had been truly punished by the gods.

The thunder was silent, the storm vanished without a trace. The bodies of the three Storm Kings were flung high into the air as if struck by a divine hammer. Thunder, clouds, and rain, like three kites with broken strings, were blasted hundreds of meters away without dignity, crashing heavily onto the earth!

The Thunder King's helmet shattered upon impact, cracks spreading like a spiderweb across his forehead, metal fragments mixed with divine blood scattering everywhere, his entire face filled with horror and... bewilderment.

The Cloud King's sternum collapsed instantly, causing his internal cyclone system to explode in chaos. The wind pressure on his body surface surged back like an out-of-control blast wave, and he murmured but could not utter a word.

The King of Rain was in the most disheveled state, a scorched mark appearing on his shoulder—a remnant of the divine runes after being burned by the ultra-high-energy flames. Grayish-white steam, carrying the smell of burning, filled the air, and his eyes were filled with confusion and shock.

But they had no idea how they got hurt.

It was as if the whole world suddenly froze for a frame, without warning or any indication of an attack.

Even the ripples of soul perception were completely blank.

"...What...just happened?"

The Thunder King struggled to prop himself up, the divine emblem on his forehead flickering erratically, as if trapped in some kind of data synchronization failure loop.

The King of Clouds was covered in cold sweat, his heart pounding wildly. In an instant, he lost control of his power, the Wind Domain.

"We...we've been hit?" The Rain King gritted his teeth and whispered, a hint of bewilderment in his voice.

Just as they were all severely injured and struggling to get up, they finally saw clearly that the giant golden figure standing in the center of the canyon had raised his hand.

He stopped fighting and reached out to grasp the sword.

That miraculous object, standing at the deepest part of the canyon, symbolizing the condensation of Abelio's core rule and will.
