Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 145 Red Lotus
An unusual smell immediately emanated from the severed tentacle, but it wasn't a burnt odor. The severed tentacle turned into a black liquid, but before it could drip or corrode anything, it was burned to nothingness by Zheng Zha's hands.

Although Zheng Zha had always wanted to acquire a magical, legendary weapon, like a greatsword... he had to admit that focusing his mind on developing his body, though tedious, was worthwhile. When he merged with the crimson flames, he would become incredibly powerful; at that moment, he himself would be an incomparably scorching blade!

This isn't an ability inherent in the vampire bloodline itself, but rather a skill that Zheng Zha diligently developed after unlocking the third-tier gene lock. Strictly speaking, it can be considered a skill in itself. Unlike the crimson flame he obtained from the main god, and unlike the three heads, six arms, bat wings, and dragon scales bestowed upon him by his essence blood, as the developer, Zheng Zha can easily unleash its full power.

Zheng Zha was unaware that he had already mastered a fully-developed self-created skill... but he felt it must be quite impressive.

He called this state the Crimson Lotus Transformation!
Saigeia's giant green eye fixed on Zheng Zha, immediately causing a burst of red flames to erupt from Zheng Zha's body. However, Zheng Zha was not alarmed by the attack but rather pleased, as it seemed that the gaze's ability to obliterate ordinary matter was no longer effective against him.

Therefore, Zheng Zha instead used the opportunity to launch the ball of red flames towards Saigeia's giant eye. Judging from the momentum of the flames, it was almost another explosion. If it were the old Zheng Zha, he would have no way to control the red flames that were separated from his body.

Saigea seemed quite wary of this flame as well. A glint appeared in his eyes, and some invisible force struck the red flame out of thin air, causing it to explode prematurely, but it failed to have any effect.

In that brief moment of opening, Zheng Zha had already streaked across the sky in a dark red light, circling behind Saigeya. This Ancient One was so enormous that even Zheng Zha had to exert all his strength to get behind it.

But before Zheng Zha could continue his attack, a large green sun suddenly rose from the darkness. The instant sense of crisis made Zheng Zha unleash a burst of dark red flames to block in front of him.

"This guy can open his eyes anywhere?" Zheng Zha watched as the burst of red flames was forcibly blasted open, and immediately flashed away again.

In fact, Zheng Zha still doesn't understand this kind of thing at all... Although the combat power of these ancient rulers may only be at the fourth level, their greatest characteristic is that they are bizarre and cannot be judged by common sense.

Although Saigia descended through the body of a corrupted mortal, it still possessed most of its former power. Known as the Darkest One, the Wandering Darkness, and the Eye of Destruction, in its prime, it could easily merge into the pitch-black sky, roaming freely through the darkness. Any mortal that gazed upon the sky would meet its colossal eye from its own perspective, becoming a follower of hatred and destruction.

This is not something that ordinary fourth-tier powerhouses can do. Although its combat power can only be compared with the stronger fourth-tier primary native gods in many planes, its ability to infiltrate and transform is beyond the reach of ordinary gods.

Although Zheng Zha knew nothing about these things, he could tell from the aura and appearance that Saigia's power was gradually being unleashed... Her originally flesh-colored body was becoming increasingly dark, and the area around her eyes was now completely black. Zheng Zha deduced that the more Saigia's strength recovered, the stronger the erosion here would become.

But he dares not contact the rest of the Central Continent team now, as they communicate through headsets... It is known that ordinary corrupted individuals can infect ordinary people through sound. What if the commotion here gets over and directly causes his teammates to be deeply corrupted?
Therefore, Zheng Zha could only figure out the opponent's characteristics first, and then destroy the monster as quickly as possible!

"The crimson flame attack is effective, so it seems you're not something I can't understand..." Zheng Zha pushed up his nose. "Who told me before that you guys are all indescribable? You seem so-so..."

Saigeia did not use its tentacles to attack Zheng Zha, whether because it did not possess such an attack method or because it feared Zheng Zha's crimson flames. A giant green eye quietly appeared in front of Zheng Zha, followed by a faint ripple.

Zheng Zha twisted and dodged, leaving a long, worn-out mark behind him! Without looking back, Zheng Zha knew what had happened. He pushed off with both feet and climbed onto the wall, then transformed into a blood-red meteor, engulfed in a massive amount of red flames, and slammed into Saigya's eyes. The blood-red meteor deepened in the air, almost turning black; but around it, it emitted a blinding red light. The terrifying heat made the air in the entire prison area scorching, and the bricks and metal at the point where Zheng Zha and Saigya clashed melted completely.

Saigea's giant green eye silently watched the crimson meteor, then an invisible force peeled it away. Each strand of dark red flame that was stripped away exploded into a blinding red light, accompanied by deafening explosions and shrill screams as the air was torn apart.

Saigea's giant eye dimmed slightly, clearly indicating that such a powerful confrontation was no easy feat. However, the crimson meteor that was fighting against it was also weakening. The previous crimson fireball, though much smaller than the giant eye, was no less powerful; but now, the fireball was only the size of two people, utterly insignificant like a spark before the giant eye.

The blinding red light continued to peel away, eventually revealing the core of the blood-red meteor...

It was just a small ball of black flame.

The moment it was spotted by Saigeia, the black flame the size of a human head advanced instead of retreating, suddenly accelerating and even creating a sonic boom, shooting directly towards Saigeia's enormous pupil.

A piercing scraping sound rang out as countless black tentacles formed a protective barrier before the giant eye, while an invisible force blocked the black flames. Clearly, even this arrogant Old One lacked absolute confidence in stopping this attack!
Black flames and an invisible force are annihilating each other.

Black Flame is Zheng Zha's final form after condensing Red Flame, but he himself wasn't particularly surprised by it...

The more the red flames condense, the darker they become, eventually turning into black flames. Isn't that reasonable? This is probably the highest quality form of vampire energy. If it were Zheng Zha at the beginning, even after being squeezed a hundred or eighty times, the total amount of red flames squeezed out wouldn't be as much as this.

Each advancement in bloodline brings an extremely terrifying leap in both the quality and quantity of vampire energy... From viscount to earl, the vampire energy increases thirtyfold in terms of quality; and from earl to marquis, it is an even more terrifying advancement.

If this ball of black flame had hit Kayako in the last match... unless the main god gave her a major boost, even if she was a third-tier ghost, she would have been instantly defeated.

The invisible force is not telekinesis, but rather Saigia's innate ability... This force contains destruction and hatred. The former can obliterate mortal objects, almost at the conceptual level; the latter can transmit the hatred that Saigia has possessed since birth to other living beings, making them its puppets and slaves.

The black flames were finally about to be forcibly wiped out. Although it had cost Saigia a lot, for such a being, this fireball the size of a human head was still too small.

Just then, the black flames suddenly exploded, forming an impenetrable barrier at the point of impact. As the red light and black flames finally dissipated, there was nothing left before Saigia's eyes.

There was no Zheng Zha either!
