Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 139: Sneaking into the shadows
"Boom!!"

The insect mist exploded to both sides, and the entities she touched changed abruptly the instant they were struck. What should have been a stealthy, lurking humanoid figure actually possessed a majestic and resolute physique.

It was a golden body.

It is golden in color, but harder than gold.

The person in this body was several meters tall, standing proudly like an iron tower. Yu Zhiwei's fist, which broke the speed of sound, futilely struck his chest and abdomen, only managing to cause the golden muscles to dent slightly.

"Titanium Gold Body?"

The giant's true nature was revealed in Yu Zhiwei's eyes. A smile even appeared on his resolute, indifferent face. And at the same instant, a heavy blow of equal magnitude to her own punch materialized out of thin air in her chest and abdomen!

"Well--"

It's damage reflection, a rule-based ability.

Yu Zhiwei's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Some of the organs disintegrated into powder, which then rapidly reassembled under the monstrous troll's super regenerative abilities. However, in that brief moment of paralysis, the golden giant's arms suddenly shot up like lightning.

It's fast, but not fast enough.

Using telekinesis to propel her body, Yu Zhiwei suddenly moved backward. Even though she wasn't particularly skilled in precise close-quarters combat, she possessed the ability to create distance.

but--

'Thud—' My shoulder was pressed down.

Her eyes widened slightly; she was certain she had created at least a thirty-centimeter distance between herself and her opponent. However, her body, which should have been out of range, had unknowingly found itself back in the area she couldn't escape!
Forced capture and throw? Is that another rule-based ability?
A sudden feeling of weightlessness washed over her, and her previously stable body was abruptly lifted by an unexpectedly powerful force. A sense of danger surged through her senses, and a strange stiffness filled Yu Zhiwei's body at that moment.

A burst of intense light erupted from the insect mist. The source of that light was the ghostly humanoid figure they had captured earlier. Evasion was now impossible, but even so, Yu Zhiwei was still able to withstand the immense psychic power protecting her entire body.

A tremendous explosion and impact came at once.

A tearing sensation spread throughout her body in an instant, accompanied by a series of violent impacts. The Azure Lotus was ultimately not a true protective armor. In a mere instant, Yu Zhiwei's body, propelled by that radiant blast, crashed through, shattering four adjacent, massive buildings!

A large amount of blood spurted out, then, upon contact with the air, it surged back into her body as if alive. Yu Zhiwei's eyes were tightly closed, and when she opened them again, they were stained with a deep crimson blood. Without even looking, she unleashed a horizontal chop with her hand, unleashing a torrent of plasma lightning formed from her psychic power!
"Kala——"

The fifth building, into which she was embedded, melted directly under the plasma's onslaught. Also vaporized was the second round of radiant bombardment launched by the sinister humanoid. A massive storm was violently unleashed, but the next moment, the burly giant with the Titanium Extreme Body shattered the lightning and plasma, swung his fist, and unleashed a deafening roar towards Yu Zhiwei.

"I am the guardian; you must not look upon anything other than me!"

His fists were powerful, but they could only cleave through thunder and storms.

Yet the sound he uttered possessed a strange, magical power. It was like fingernails scraping a blackboard, or a grain of sand wedged into a rusty door hinge. An indescribable, intense disgust filled Yu Zhiwei's mind and body at that moment, transforming into a tangible force that propelled her to launch the most decisive attack on her target.

We must take him down!
We absolutely cannot let this bastard continue to live in this world!
otherwise--

"Humph."

—The third stage of the gene lock is activated.

Her mental state snapped back to normal. The effect of the forced taunt vanished. But Yu Zhiwei still waved her hand, and the Azure Lotus that covered her entire body, disguised as the Virgo Dark Cloth, suddenly disintegrated.

The telekinetic floating cannon array activated. Immediately following, a torrent of light rained down, covering the entire fan-shaped space before them!

There were no blind spots, no escape routes. Neither the golden giant nor the sneaky individual hiding behind it.

She saw it.

She saw the exact entity that had unleashed the two beams of light—it wasn't ghostly, but rather slender. The woman with a third eye on her forehead wore Indian-style clothing that Yu Zhiwei found utterly repulsive. And this rain of light from the floating cannon array could definitely be fatal to her!

Then next——

"Ok?"

The dense fog formed by the swarm of insects suddenly gathered.

Instead of constructing a true dense fog capable of withstanding the laser rainstorm through the Tyndall effect, it went a step further, transforming directly into a gigantic entity visible to the naked eye—a colossal insect-beast, predominantly purple and black, with thick bone armor and ferocious claws, which stood before the three-eyed woman, attempting to shield her from the laser rain with its own body.

It was all in vain.

The insect-beast's body was riddled with holes in an instant, and it might die in the next moment.

Then--

"Drink-"

The wound disappeared.

All the trauma was transferred at this moment.

It didn't appear on Yu Zhiwei's body, but instead, it was proportionally shrunk and transferred to the body of the golden giant who called himself the 'Guardian'. It was indeed a severe injury powerful enough to shatter his titanium-golden body. However, in that very instant, the power carried by that fist, which had only barely managed to blast through the frontal plasma storm, suddenly changed!
It surged, exploded, and intensified! It was clearly just an insignificant punch, yet its power suddenly increased fivefold, tenfold, twenty-fivefold, and fiftyfold, until it reached the limit that the Titanium Extreme Golden Body could withstand!
Light, stretched into a straight line.

This incredibly heavy punch had already reached Yu Zhiwei.

It was unstoppable and unavoidable. In the next moment, more than 80% of Yu Zhiwei's body mass was instantly annihilated by this heavy blow.

—So that's how it is. Not only can it force throws and force damage reflection, but it can also forcibly absorb the injuries of its comrades and convert them into its own instantaneous attack power.

—What a pity.

A massive explosion. Starting from the fifth building where Yu Zhiwei was located, she and the hundreds of meters behind her were instantly vaporized by the impact. The aftershocks of the destruction transformed into a massive wave that surged in all directions, toppling tall buildings, tearing apart bridges, and sending large swathes of concrete flying and crashing about.

This is indeed a powerful force.

This attack could easily defeat the vast majority of Tier 3 professional fighters. It could even catch some members of the Celestial Team off guard and knock them down. However—

"it's a pity."

The lotus, dyed a deep blue, fell to the ground.

The lotus, dyed in shades of blue, blends into the shadows.

In the opposite corner of the battlefield, Yu Zhiwei's unharmed body suddenly appeared from the shadow of a broken ruin. The Azure Lotus, which also leaped out of the shadow, reformed into a huge blade, and unleashed a fierce slash towards the front and the enemy's rear.

Death arrived as expected.

The three-eyed woman was torn into several broken pieces from her chest and abdomen—the golden giant who had charged too far ahead suddenly turned around, and the Azure Lotus had already been reshaped, transforming into a huge mirrored spiral.

"Thunder comes!"

A massive bolt of lightning, as thick as an iron tower, was pulled from the void by her and struck the golden giant's head directly—no matter how well a metal-based body is trained, it is destined to have the flaw of conductivity—causing him to freeze for a moment, while Yu Zhiwei's figure reappeared in the shadows.

—You guys are really unlucky to have chosen me.

—Besides me, there are really not many people here who can withstand your combination of punches.

Her form appeared to the side of the giant insect beast. The massive size of the beast cast a shadow that allowed her to appear smoothly. She raised her hand, and in the instant it appeared, a swift, slender fist struck. The giant insect, which had shifted its injuries, might have tried to move away to avoid it, but Yu Zhiwei's fist had already struck the surface of its carapace.

Shadow Blade.

The shadow is used as a blade.

From the giant insect's shell, hundreds, even thousands, of jet-black shadow blades burst forth. The enormous insect beast was instantly cleaved into hundreds, even thousands, of pieces by this implosion shadow blade fist. However, being cleaved did not mean being defeated.

I have a strange feeling.

Yu Zhiwei turned the tide of the battle in the blink of an eye, but a strange feeling still welled up in her heart.

She felt that something was wrong, that there was a problem. However, the problem had not yet been discovered.

What is it?
The telekinetic energy was released in large quantities, crushing the flesh and blood of countless insects and beasts in the air. However, the ground was still stained with blood.

Where did the mistake go wrong?

A thick carpet of fungi sprouted from the blood-stained ground, and the guardian, struck by lightning, broke free from its agony. A shredded doll suddenly sprang from between the three-eyed woman's eyebrows, and the fatal wound rapidly healed.

Substitute puppets are not uncommon even in the cycle of reincarnation. The three-eyed woman was clearly weaker than the others. Yu Zhiwei simply raised her hand, and a suddenly formed psychic attack was about to strike the face of the person she disliked once more.

A woman's face emerged from the carpet of fungi spread across the ground. Undoubtedly, it was the insect-beast itself, but its tricks were utterly ineffective against Yu Zhiwei.

So……

--I see.

As their figures intertwined, a glint of wisdom flashed in Yu Zhiwei's eyes. Her mind captured an inspiration, and her body dodged the guardian's swift punch, which was once again delivered through the transfer of injuries.

It's the number of people!
Ten shining stars, ten people.

There were three in front of him, while on Siming's side were the turret clown and the assassin, and two others were entangled with the Rossoneri duo. Of the remaining two, one was fighting Liesel, while the other was exchanging spells with Jacob.

The number of people appears to be complete.

but--

Dot-Line Magic Eye, activate!

The view suddenly shifted. The three enemies before me were all equipped with rapidly shifting points and lines. They were protected by the Nightmare Space, and it would take time to capture their most fatal point. However, if the goal was only to severely injure them rather than kill them instantly, it might not be impossible to seize that crucial opening.

And the next moment——

A silent explosion resounded from the void.

The woman born from the fungal carpet lunged forward, her arms transforming into mantis-like scythes that tore Yu Zhiwei's body apart in the instant she was casting her spell. However, at that very same moment—

'Waaah—!'

The three-eyed woman suddenly covered half her face. Her spirit and soul had also been ripped apart by the invisible blade. And Liesel's relieved voice finally appeared in the mental network.

Liesel: [Everyone! I've barely managed to get through this part, now let's begin the scan—]

Sure enough.

Both the guardian and the daughter of the insect beast paled.

The next moment, the mental damage was forcibly transferred and shared by the guardian. However, no matter how fast he moved, the hidden secret was exposed to the reincarnators of the Celestial Team.

The psychic is right here. She multitasks, disguising herself as one of the combatants.

The tenth person, who is hiding, has not yet shown himself!
