Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 96 - The only way to repeat a grade is through a terrible trick.

What other tricks does he have up his sleeve?
What other tricks can he pull?
Si Ming also wanted to know the answer, and the next moment, four figures draped in black robes suddenly appeared on this not-so-narrow battlefield.

Telekinetic cannon, unleashed.

The air was torn apart in massive swathes. The sheer volume bypassed what should have been a delicate art. It was a chaotic yet powerful random bombardment, each strike possessing the power to easily pierce a building.

They descended along with the Yellow Dragon's breath, sweeping wildly forward like a storm. Large swaths of rubble were kicked up and melted in the air. Even the swift wolf shadows couldn't escape suffering some scratches!
The flames of calamity raged and swirled.

The air was filled with the stench of burning fur and a few black, burnt remnants.

From the edge of Huanglong's breath, the swift wolf shadow reappeared—the werewolf lord's gaze remained focused, his movements steady and efficient. Even so, Si Ming could still sense a slight decrease in the opponent's life force!
Is that all?
A mocking question only needs to be uttered once; a second utterance is merely a waste of each other's time. Si Ming's thoughts raced silently, and the next moment, the several fiery warhorses still on the field suddenly melted together. Their black and white forms remained, but their shapes transformed into those of dragons. And the enormous yellow dragon that had previously guarded his side swung its massive claws sharply forward!
'boom--'

Twin Dragons!

Solid matter and flames intertwined, forming a swift and fierce storm. At this moment, the Headhunter, who had launched the bombardment, contracted his psychic power, creating an invisible barrier. And beneath the Night Demon Armor, the encrypted battlefield commands, simulated by electromagnetic abilities, continued to be transmitted silently.

"—Ranger, maintain the Millennium Falcon's altitude. In case of unforeseen circumstances, prioritize your own safety."

"—Bishop, prepare teleportation and suppression spells. Especially spacetime countermeasures, in case these guys suddenly turn desperate."

—"Traveler, always be aware of your surroundings. Especially on my side, victory is assured, but we still need to take precautions."

Thoughts raced through his mind. His body, surprisingly, reacted instinctively to the battlefield. The next moment, Si Ming abruptly shifted to the side. His spiral staff traced a perfect arc in mid-air, the tip of the staff colliding precisely with a wolf shadow hurtling through the air!
'Boom——'

The piercing scream that pierced through the psychic layer finally erupted. The wolf shadow that had split off and used the West Sea team captain as bait to carry out the assassination was ultimately futile.

The next moment, Si Ming tightened his grip on the cane.

"You used the same move twice."

He said.

The spiral staff did not transform into a sword, but this time, the moment it was swung, it burst forth with a blazing light like the release of embers!

..............................

——It’s time.

Vincenzo breathed silently, suppressing the excruciating pain and trauma coursing through his body. His wolf-like ears stood erect, taking in the surrounding scenery. He stared at the vast sea of ​​fire approaching, his peripheral vision sweeping over the Celestial Team members who were now forming an encirclement, and the disc-shaped spaceship that continued to patrol the skies at a safe distance. The aura of death washed over him, and he knew he could no longer escape.

The third stage of the genetic lock allows his body to react before his consciousness. Theoretically, he can successfully evade any attack within his physical capabilities.

however……

It was a wall, and an ocean.

A raging torrent of black and white flames crashed down upon him. His opponent, the leader of the Celestial Team, finally abandoned his playful, tit-for-tat approach and unleashed an overwhelming area attack, leaving him nowhere to escape.

With nowhere to escape, he could only stand still and wait it out. But he had already proven that his Heavenly Battle Qi was no match for the strange, raging fire possessed by his opponent.

We can't beat them, and we can't outlast them.

If he had a slight chance of winning at the beginning, now that they have already clashed, he only has one option left.

— "Julian".

He raised his hands, unleashing all the power within him towards the oncoming wall of fire. A pale gray barrier took shape, and in this final moment, he would perfect his performance.

—"Use [that]."

The order has been issued.

The initial insurance was triggered silently.

The protective barrier of battle aura, which had been desperately held up, cracked piece by piece. However, just as the black and white flames were about to break through the barrier and pour down—

Everything came to a standstill.

The sun's radiance faded quietly at that moment.

The entire world before Vincenzo's eyes was veiled in a faded mist. The ground, the sky, and the ruins of the dragon's nest, shattered by the battle, all fell into stillness, remaining unchanged.

He saw the leader, protected by the golden dragon, raise his eyebrows.

The woman with the cane looked up.

Seeing the black and white flames that were rushing towards him transform into thousands of claws, the closest one of which was even about to successfully chisel off his skull!

Just a moment's difference, a hair's breadth away, and the fate of destruction was about to devour his life.

but--

A soft click.

The soft sound originated from the depths of this faded realm, from beneath the shattered dragon's lair. As close collaborators with the evil dragon Bragi, the West Sea Team naturally knew the location of the central power supply for this malevolent nest. This meant that after such a long delay, the buried secret had now completed its loading process!

It was a set of interlocking gears that, in the instant of its destruction, released its hidden power, usable only once. Its name was 'Oggel,' derived from a world known as 'Shakugan no Shana.' Its single activation was enough to successfully unleash a vast and complex ritual barrier.

Sealing! It appears to be a time-stopping phenomenon, but its actual operating principle is a powerful secret technique that halts the interaction of causal chains within the frozen area. Anyone falling into this domain called 'Sealing' will find their cause and effect isolated. Unless one possesses a superior power called 'Power of Existence,' which is essentially an intertwined web of causal lines, even the most powerful life form will be powerless to resist within this sealed domain.

Vincenzo possessed a wisp of 'existential power' within him, and upon acquiring this one-time treasure, he fused with it without hesitation. Instead of keeping this trump card as his own, he entrusted it to Julian, who had the best access to intelligence, and instructed his henchman, who preferred to conceal his abilities, to place it in the most suitable location.

He placed his trust in the company, and that trust has now been rewarded.

The secrets that a psychic can keep are the deepest secrets hidden within a team. And when he stepped forward to attract most of the Celestial Team's attention, his henchmen finally succeeded in driving this weight.

Everything came to a standstill.

Vincenzo gasped for breath. Even with the support of the power of existence within him, his injuries were difficult to heal in this causally isolated space.

after all……

"I can only do one thing."

The werewolf lord gently pressed his chest, scorched by the flames. A sliver of his remaining life force pulsed silently. Within this ritual space, where the causal chain was severed, any action he took to alter the workings of the world meant the complete depletion of this irretrievable wisp of high-level power.

Only one item is allowed.

There is only one.

It could be by swinging a weapon or activating an item. Tearing open a scroll that teleports everyone together is certainly a good option. But equally, it could be used to slay a powerful enemy.

He looked at the celestial leader standing in the shadow of the dragon, his gaze complex. Because his third-tier gene lock, which had gradually adapted and gained some development, was already able to somewhat empathize with the enemy's thoughts during prolonged battles.

The leader did not lie.

He genuinely harbored goodwill and did not harbor ruthless hostility towards the reincarnators of the West Sea Team. Even at the moment he descended from the sky, the promise of freedom in exchange for all items and equipment was not a lie.

"A good person".

The captain of the West Sea team looked at his target with a hint of respect.

"To have come this far with such naive thoughts, you certainly possess undeniable power. But in this vast cycle of reincarnation, weakness ultimately means death."

The heavens' fighting spirit is almost gone.

He wanted to leave more, but before 'Ogel' was fully charged, he had to do everything he could to gather as much information as possible and attract enough attention.

The next moment, he strode forward. A pale gray battle aura enveloped the giant wolf's claws, and he thrust them towards the chest of the powerful enemy before him, who perhaps hadn't even used half his full strength!
"Rest in peace. Your death will serve as a deterrent between our two teams until our main quests come to an end."

Wolf claws, stabbing down.

However, the next moment, Vincenzo's wolf-like maw was about to let out a roar of shock and anger!

This all-out attack, imbued with ninety percent of his fighting spirit, only managed to touch the target's chest. An unparalleled feeling of obstruction followed, and his wrist also bore immense pressure!

The lockdown is still in operation.

The leader of the gods, however, rediscovered the light in his eyes in this isolated space of cause and effect!

The colors on his body had become vibrant. And his hand, far stronger than steel, was already locked on Vincenzo's wrist!

"You—" A low, whimpering howl escaped the werewolf high lord's throat. "How could this be—"

“Surprised?” His adversary stared at him, a half-smile playing on his lips.

His power of existence was being consumed silently. Although it was the other party who was taking action, it was his power that was being depleted—a terrifying thought arose in his mind, and his adversary was not afraid to give an answer.

"What makes you think... I would be careless and arrogant when things are still far from certain?"

It was those fires, it was those wounds!
Those peculiar black and white flames were simply an extension of the opponent's will, regardless of any other plans he might have. As long as he continued to use his physical body and power, the opponent would see through him!

Despair gripped the werewolf lord's heart.

However, what was sharper and more ruthless than despair was the hand of the Celestial Leader, covered by the flames of twilight.

It pierced through his chest.

It removed his heart.

The 'one thing' that the power of existence could drive was thus carried out. And the next moment, the boundary of the sealed domain was covered with shattered light!

It's all over.

Everything is beyond saving.

Even so, Vincenzo's heart, which burst forth from his body, was still filled with determination and ruthlessness!
"Let's die together!"

The thought can still be turned.

A storage ring embedded in the finger bone, showcasing its functionality.

The instant the seal shattered, a Tsar Bomba, seemingly determined to make sure everyone knew what it was, appeared out of thin air beside him. And the timer for this 100-megaton nuclear bomb had already reached its final second the moment it was retrieved!
