Chapter 2108 Headbutt Breaks Defense
Although Blaze shouted as if he wanted to crush Zod with his momentum, backbone, fighting spirit and awareness, what he actually did was a highly technical and exquisite combo that flowed like water.

Previously, Blaze had always controlled the output of his power, and there was a very slight sense of incoordination between his moves, making him feel restricted. This was because the battles he had experienced were too extreme.

Either their strength is far inferior to his, and the damage caused by fully unleashing all their power attributes might exceed the harm brought about by the event itself; or more often than not, the enemy simply cannot withstand it.

Or it could be the complete opposite, where the opponent's strength far surpasses his, leaving him little opportunity to launch a series of attacks. Each strike must be delivered with the awareness that it is the only chance to deal damage, and he must unleash his full power.

Of course, there are also cases like Baldr, who is just a punching bag. Even if he unleashes his full power and performs combos, it can't be considered real combat.

Facing Zod, an enemy who can gain access to all of his attributes, titles, and class skills through totem connections, he no longer needs to hold back.

Compared to adjusting the attack rhythm on the spot and finding suitable move combinations, copying is obviously more convenient.

While Zod was rambling on and throwing heavy punches at him, he only cared about protecting his vitals, keeping his eyes fixed on Zod, observing Zod's every physical movement, and then reproducing it after he had learned it.

"You sly fox, I was originally copying your power, but now you've turned the tables and copied me." Zod's expression was somewhat inscrutable, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"It seems you didn't listen to a word I said just now; you were just secretly observing me."

"I took it to heart. I was so bored that I took the time to openly copy your movements!"

Blaze made a clasping motion with his hands towards Zod, and in the instant Zod dodged, he changed his claws into palms. The sound waves from the collision of his two palms created a shockwave that sent Zod flying.

The moment Zod's feet left the ground, he drew Mistletoe and fired a barrage of rays. These rays, compressed from the sun's fire, were powerful enough to pierce through mountains, but Zod simply spread his arms to block the sun's power.

"As expected, even the blood of silver has reappeared."

Although he had expected it, Blazer's expression still darkened when he actually tested it.

Although it was somewhat boastful, he still had to complain bitterly about how difficult it was to deal with, with no blind spots whatsoever.

It wasn't until he personally confronted his own competence template that he realized the error in his self-perception.

He had always thought that his greatest strength was his offensive capabilities, but after this encounter, he realized that offensive capabilities were actually secondary. The most troublesome aspect was his unassuming and usually inconspicuous defensive abilities.

Generally speaking, even a tortoise shell should have a crack, but this one was flawless. After just a few simple attacks, he realized that the only weakness of this defensive ability and resistance was greater strength.

The answer is ridiculously simple, and it's precisely because it's simple that it's so difficult to achieve. With his current physical abilities, even if he were to improve again in a short period of time, it would only be a change from a "slightly painful fist" to a "very painful fist," not a qualitative leap to a "fist that can kill."

He knew exactly how strong his physical vitality was, but injuries of the level of "a very painful punch" were meaningless, as he could fully recover in just a few breaths.

But what's more troublesome than defensive capabilities now is that Zod shares the same title and can do the same thing. Zod landed smoothly, his figure, clad in ancient ceremonial robes, resembling a towering mountain, his eyes seeming to see right through Blaze's thoughts.

"You want to warn the sun goddess behind you not to show herself, right? Don't worry, I won't steal it. I can't handle that kind of troublesome guy, and besides..."

Blaze's eyes were illuminated by the light source, which came from the enormous sun disc behind Zod.

"Isn't this more convenient?"

"Amaterasu? No, it's the power of Amaterasu!?"

The sole significance of the sun disc behind Zod is proof of possessing the power of the sun. Every sun has its own unique mark, and Amaterasu's is the enormous sun disc.

Seeing this, Amaterasu simply revealed itself completely, displaying a huge, identical sun disc that clashed with Zod's sun disc, the two identical solar forces colliding with each other.

Under normal circumstances, everything around would have long since turned to dust, but in this special place called the source of the dragon vein, even the eruption of two supreme solar powers only stirred up the surface of the underground lake.

Blaze once again recognized the power of the dragon vein. It did not show any more abilities, still only possessing the [Connection Totem]. However, he somewhat underestimated the value of the [Connection Totem].

"Is this the power of the dragon vein? But it doesn't change anything. In this battle, the power of the sun is just for show."

Blaze took a deep breath and charged again. He wasn't being reckless. Since his opponent had completed the totem connection through the power of the dragon vein and possessed the exact same abilities, the amplification of attributes by the power of the sun would be the same, and the body's resistance to the power of the sun would be the same. Having the power of the sun did not change the situation at all.

However, he has a slight advantage: Zod only possesses the power of the sun obtained through totem connection, while he possesses the true power of Amaterasu.

Zod needs to focus on the power of the sun, while he not only doesn't need to worry about that, but Amaterasu can also provide auxiliary attacks.

The sun's golden crown shone brightly, and the bow of the sun god was drawn back, arrows flying out and falling like a rain of light.

Zod weaved through the rain of light, raising his hands towards Amaterasu. Just as he was about to strike, Blaze appeared in front of him, grabbing his wrists and then delivering a fierce headbutt.

With a thunderous bang, the usually invincible headbutt ended up leaving Blaze bleeding from the head, because Zod was a multi-horned hybrid with irregular keratin on his forehead.

"Are you really an idiot? Are you blind? Can't you see the corner of my face?" Zod's face twitched in pain, and blood streamed from his nose.

"Is this how a battle between two near-gods ends? I've spent my whole life striving to become a god, and yet gods still fight like beasts?"

"I have nothing to say about that. Don't have so many expectations of a country kid like me!"
