Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 149 Why can birds fly?
The falling star crashed into the ground, not targeting the King of the End Times. Siming simply chose a structurally weak, open area and rammed into it. The powerful impact and explosions then erupted in all directions.

The earth was blasted open with fissures. Earthquakes and flowing fire erupted in the battlefield beneath their feet.

The King of the End of Dharma unleashed a true-air blade, but even after tearing through the shockwave, he couldn't touch Si Ming's clothes in time. Si Ming hadn't lingered on the ground; instead, he raised his battle aura wings again and, in the instant of ascent, briefly opened the summoning space.

Vast swathes of ground material were devoured in the impact, and Si Ming then carried them back into the sky. Just tens of seconds later, a rain of fire and falling stars plummeted down!
"what the hell."

The King of the End Times frowned, casually slicing through the impact debris and intense heat waves coming from all directions. However, many fine grains of sand still bombarded him from blind spots, staining his neat hunting attire with a bit of dust.

He can't fly.

He also didn't have a protective aura.

Even though his quantifiable body granted him a shield and a significant amount of fixed damage reduction, there were still high-speed flying debris streaks that pierced the air and caused him real HP loss.

"I'm thinking about something."

Si Ming's voice echoed once again between heaven and earth.

"If I destroy the earth, leaving only lava and boiling oceans on this battlefield, can you still survive in this environment?"

The biggest weakness of the shield is environmental damage.

If this guy could be thrown directly into the corona, he would probably be melted into dust within a second by tens of thousands of high-damage hits—even if he were truly immune to energy and thermal shocks. The high-frequency rotating solar wind would also inflict continuous and severe physical damage on him.

"You can try it!"

This may have truly stung him. It stung this arrogant and unruly king of the end times. His figure moved ceaselessly across the earth, not to avoid it, but to chase after the direction in which the meteor fell.

Vast buildings were sliced ​​apart before him, and the already shattered ground surged with waves of mud and rock as he ran. The figure moved at high speed, followed by a series of explosions. The meteor that Siming had transformed into changed course several times during its descent, yet the king still kept pace with the celestial phenomena.

Caught up!
The black longsword slashed forward without hesitation, colliding in mid-air with the Fire-Borrowing Shield, which had switched forms to adjust its impact stance—tiny spatial cracks were created as a result, but it could only futilely tear at the black and red shield surface.

That long black sword has the ability to destroy an opponent's weapon. However, this level of standardization is not yet sufficient to apply to valuable A-rated weaponry.

"A high-level divine artifact!?"

The king's astonished gaze collided with the god's indifferent gaze in mid-air.

The moment the Fire-Transmitting Shield blocked the black blade, the long-unused empty Sinful Greatsword appeared in Si Ming's free hand. The blade was then ignited and swung upwards with great force!
'Peng——'

What spewed from the blade was not residual fire, but a vacuum blade generated by the high-speed slash. The technique used by the King of the End of Dharma was instantly imitated by Si Ming, after all, he had witnessed similar power in his own source world.

A burst of blood erupted as the air blade operated on the principle of high-frequency slashing vibrations. It easily broke through the number of strikes limited by the King of the End of Dharma's shield, causing its center of gravity to shift. The next moment, the Fire-Transmitting Shield slammed into it.

"you--"

The laceration healed instantly. However, the two sides, who were once close enough, widened the distance again!
"You call this a high-level divine artifact?" The wings of battle aura rose again.

"Then I have some doubts. That God-King whose achievements you are so proud of might be entangled in Blue Silver." Si Ming's voice descended from the rapidly rising sky.

"Arrogant!" The king gritted his teeth. "You have already chosen your own death!"

"I can stop you once, and I can stop you twice, three times, countless times. I want to see how much energy you have left to use for flying!"

"Oh, really?" However, Siming had already reached the heavens once more. "You think you can stop me?"

He glanced at the edge of the earth, and a subtle feeling flowed through his thoughts—the sky seemed to have become higher, the earth seemed to have become farther away, and the invisible sense of oppression and obstruction above his head seemed to have faded away silently.

Then let's fly higher—higher, even higher.

Until the air thinned and the Kármán line appeared on the horizon. Even though Simin never paid much attention to astronomy and geography, he knew that the dimensions of the land beneath his feet were quite different from the area that Liesel and Valentina had previously measured.

This is no longer what a 'dimensional plane' should or should have.

It seems that while the Celestials were fighting on the front lines, the Supreme God, the big boss behind the scenes, wasn't just enjoying some leisure time the whole time.

It's a real shame that the main god could open the exchange list right now—if he could, Si Ming would definitely buy an unlimited ammo pulse projectile gun on the spot to test this guy's fixed damage reduction beyond the number of shields. If Gauss bullets could forcibly reduce even 0.01% of health after the damage reduction calculation was complete, this guy would know what brutality truly meant.

Unfortunately not.

But—"So, what should you do on the other side?"

The summoning gates opened once more. A shower of meteors rained down once more. And appearing alongside them was the Five Emperor Dragon, its massive body now fully extended. The wound inflicted upon it by the King of the End of Dharma had been completely healed by the summoning space, which had been enhanced to its peak.

It was larger, and as a meteorite, its effects were far greater. And this time, it crashed violently down onto the vast ground below, together with Siming!

Two cores, two collisions.

This time, the King of the End of Dharma doesn't need to chase after Si Ming, because this time, Si Ming will take the initiative to confront him!

The meteorite is already upon us.

Before even touching the ground, a massive earthquake had already torn apart vast swathes of earth. It was as if what fell with the twin meteorites was not just compressed and displaced air, but space itself. And Si Ming's shield and sword had already precisely locked onto their target.

"This is against the rules! The sky shouldn't be this high!"

The black longsword slashed out swiftly, but it only collided futilely with the Fire-Connecting Shield. The stance was immediately reversed, and the slash was followed by another, even faster, side kick, with the power of rules being imprinted on it as well.

Forced hit rate, forced critical hit, forced tenfold damage increase!
However, in the next moment, the fighting spirit of darkness emerged from Si Ming's body. It solidified into a warhorse with the color of dusk and blocked the side kick.

Battle Qi Transforms into a Horse!

Its priority is above the forced hit of the King of the End of Dharma—no, not the collision of rules. Rather, this manifested night battle aura is originally equivalent to a part of Si Ming.

The warhorse was smashed to pieces by the kick.

However, the returning battle aura had no effect on Si Ming—on the contrary, the Greatsword of Sin, which he wielded in one hand, slashed out even faster and more viciously. This high-frequency vacuum slash directly wiped out one-thirtieth of the King of the End of Dharma's maximum health bar.

Large amounts of blood splattered out, but what made the king even more nervous than the splattered blood was the dark battle aura that appeared up close and remained unharmed under the power of the end of magic.

"True divine power!? The primordial light of the heart!?"

"You actually possess this kind of power!?"

The great shield continued its advance, and the impact of the Five Emperor Dragons struck the ground not far away. A massive fireball with a radius of one kilometer immediately ignited at the core of the impact. As the wounded Five Emperor Dragons fell back into the summoning space, the wall of scorching winds, tearing apart and melting everything, crashed towards the direction where the gods and kings were located.

"So you know about the Light of the Mind." However, Si Ming didn't linger in the fight. His momentary advantage was enough for him to raise his twilight-colored battle aura wings once more. The wall of scorching winds arrived immediately, and he flew upwards again, skimming over the wave of flames.

"True divine power? Hmm, that's an interesting term. Is it a benchmark of power that prevails across the multiverse?"

The multiverse contains countless worlds, and in even the weakest of these worlds, life forms with only first or second-tier strength can reign supreme as gods within their shells. Therefore, there must be a tangible standard to accurately measure the forces that constantly collide and intertwine in the multiverse.

Now it seems that one of those within this scale is the Mind Light that Si Ming controls, which he calls the Night Battle Qi, and which is still in its nascent stage.

My thoughts only shifted for a fleeting moment.

The King of the End of Dharma, who had initially only been slightly annoyed by the meteorite impact, had already taken to the air to catch up—his powerful physique allowed him to leap hundreds of meters and run on air and wind. His jet-black blade, propelled rapidly, slashed upwards again towards Si Ming.

"Don't try to escape!"

Si Ming did not flee.

Si Ming merely parried with the Fire-Transmitting Shield, seemingly casually. And at the very moment that upward strike landed—

—The Night Runs On, Full Power!

It wasn't an overload state strong enough to cause his physical body to collapse. Even a full-force burst was enough to instantly accelerate him to a speed that would catch the King of the End of Dharma off guard. His battle aura wings spun rapidly in the air. And then, the direction changed from upward to downward!
"What!?"

The King of the End Times suddenly turned his head, and a deep red spear materialized in his empty hand.

However, before he could swing down, Si Ming, who had moved directly below him, slammed the transformed Fire-Transmitting Great Hammer upwards!
Home run!
While the limited-damage shield effect is an excellent mechanic, the kinetic energy effect cannot be erased. The King of the End of Dharma, having suffered a heavy blow from behind, was propelled upwards by the sonic boom.

Ground and air are two completely different battlefields. Because all known fighting techniques originate from the principle of 'power originating from the feet,' from the manipulation and application of friction. And precisely because of this—

When this monarch, who lacks proper aerial combat skills, arrives in the thin zone where he cannot walk on the wind, he will become a pitiful punching bag with no ability to resist!
