Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 474 A Forceful Opponent and a Fear

Mu Xiang quickly shared his speculation with Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie in his mind, which shocked them both. Back in the Main God Space, Mu Xiang had demonstrated the Spear of Judgment to everyone, and at that time, Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie only thought that it was an attack capable of reaching the fourth level.

But the problem is that using the Spear of Judgment consumes a lot of energy. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to use that energy to use your own ultimate move?

Mu Xiang hadn't expected the Spear of Judgment to have such a miraculous effect. It seemed this thing wasn't something those with weak strength could use... Thinking about it carefully, in the original story, Zheng Zha, until he seemingly lost the Spear of Judgment, was weaker than anyone else present. Given enough energy and sufficiently active runes, this thing could definitely achieve the destructive power of a spirit-level being!

However, if the energy is insufficient, the destructive power will naturally be far less than that of other uses of the same amount of energy.

The two of them had used the Spear of Judgment earlier as a last resort. They weren't completely overwhelmed by the Outer Gods, but they couldn't help Mu Xiang much either. After much thought, they decided to use the Spear of Judgment that Mu Xiang had given them, since Mu Xiang's energy couldn't power the Spear of Judgment, while their own energy could.

"But then again, why can that guy also use the Spear of Judgment?" Zheng Zha wondered to himself.

Mu Xiang pondered for a moment and then said, "Because he is a spirit tablet... or rather, at least a spirit tablet. A spirit tablet can already have preliminary control over energy, and this control over energy is a saint-level ability, which means breaking free from the shackles of special energy and simplifying complexity. So it is not surprising that he broke through the energy limit."

Zhang Jie said helplessly, "No wonder, it seems we have to use this... otherwise I would have given it to you so you could use it to fight him at close range."

Mu Xiang smiled bitterly to himself: "You two better be careful, he'll definitely have to put in a lot more effort to deal with you... but I'll hold him off."

Zheng Zha asked with some concern, "Is everything alright?"

“No problem…” A dazzling golden light emanated from Mu Xiang’s body once again. “As long as the Candle-Bearing Staff is still usable, he will absolutely not be able to defeat me. I believe you can maintain this balance.”

The next moment, Mu Xiang unleashed a double punch, causing the space in front of him to cave in. The powerful wind and spiraling golden light intertwined, sealing off Muroshi's body.

Muroshi reached out, and a miniature vortex reappeared, but this time it wasn't an attack; it was a feint that neutralized Mu Xiang's attack.

A sense of danger exploded behind Mu Xiang. Without turning his head, he reached out and grabbed Jiyue behind him. With a loud bang, the attacking trident was blocked by this strike.

The eerie blue light attached to the trident invaded Jiyue, causing the blade's light to fluctuate. But before Mu Xiang could expel the invading energy, a distortion of space appeared around him, caused by the eerie blue light.

"Watch out!" Mu Xiang shouted inwardly. This move, seemingly an attack but actually a hindrance, caused Muroshi to flee with a laugh, his terrifying aura sweeping towards Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie. He wasn't stupid; he knew that compared to Mu Xiang, Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie, wielding the Spear of Judgment, were like glass cannons. No matter how you looked at it, dealing with them was more cost-effective.

Ignoring his internal injuries, the golden light within Mu Xiang surged even more intensely, generating immense power that allowed him to forcefully tear apart the spatial distortion. The shattered space didn't even have time to brush against Mu Xiang before the trident, imbued with Muroshi's will, thrust and circled, attempting to block him.

The moonlit blade flashed with a brilliant light, first repelling the piercing cold light, then smoothly circling around to dissolve the obstruction. With a move of Water Moon Heaven, Mu Xiang swept the trident away, then headed straight for Muroshi.

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie were dealing with a group of Outer Gods. These twisted beings each possessed abilities even more bizarre than the Great Old Ones, but ultimately, they couldn't affect them. Zheng Zha was a fourth-tier being, essentially no weaker than them; and Zhang Jie's energy and spirit were also at the fourth-tier level, naturally isolating him from their influence.

Murrohi arrived with incredible speed; with a flap of his demonic wings, he traversed the spatial distance and arrived above the two. Two terrifying auras emanated from Murrohi; one rose, connecting with the terrifying being above, while the other sank, sealing off the space around Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie.

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie's expressions both changed. They hadn't even sensed any change in energy. Could it be that space could be sealed off simply by aura? Or was this some kind of authority of Muroshi as the Child of the Abyss?
At this moment, a dark blue light also spread out of the space, merging with the sealed and distorted space, and a huge dark blue vortex that encompassed Zheng Zha and the other two, as well as many outer gods, appeared.

Murrosh reached for the sky, but this time it was different from summoning a vortex or triggering a pull; instead, he was pulling something upwards from the concept itself. With his roar, a jet-black stream of light descended from the sky. It was a blackness that should have been indistinguishable from the void, but Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie knew it was an existence that could not be ignored.

At this moment, Nyarlathotep's many avatars descended. Although Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie couldn't recognize them all, a strong sense of dread arose in their hearts. These avatars, summoned by Murroshi, fell into the vortex and were then shredded by the swirling energy and space. But an even more terrifying aura emanated from them, causing Zheng Zha to roar!
The Asura Battle Body, which had only been resummoned not long ago, shattered once more. Its blood-red, hard armor transformed into a scorching, frenzied stream of fire that merged into the Branch of Destruction and slashed furiously at Muroch.

Mroshi chuckled coldly, but he wasn't arrogant. A miniature vortex slammed down from his palm, engulfing the oncoming torrent of fire. What actually struck him was only the embers left after the miniature vortex burst open; and in the midst of that explosion, another miniature vortex condensed.

"He's going to use the same trick again!" Zhang Jie roared, his telekinetic and spiritual powers surging, as if a colossal god standing tall and mighty rose up behind him, raising his Zanpakuto which swelled in the wind, and slashing at Muroch.

"A trick to bewitch people..." Muroch sneered, and with a flick of his empty other hand, his Zanpakuto materialized and was sent flying backward. The enormous image created by combining mental and telekinetic power also shattered with a crash.

In this back-and-forth exchange, the pervasive aura of terror enveloped the surrounding Outer Gods. Enveloped indiscriminately, they finally succumbed, countless screams erupting as a cacophony of noise, which was then pulverized by the vortex. But when this chaos clashed with the terrifying aura, even more bizarre and powerfully twisted beings were born.

"What the hell is this Dark Fusion?" Zheng Zha couldn't help but shout.

Just as Muroch looked impatiently at Zheng Zha, a golden hand silently appeared behind Muroch.
