Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

"You'd better concentrate all the Jenova power of the entire planet into one person, otherwise you won't have the slightest chance of winning." Rhode held a spiked club in one hand and a fel greatsword in the other, letting out a cold laugh.

You're not even as durable as my father-in-law! Even if my father-in-law went all out, he could still hold his own against me for a few rounds.

"You are ruining the fate of this planet! Ruining the fate of everyone! This could even lead to the collapse of the entire planet." Some black Fez in the sky gathered together once more, and Sephiroth reappeared.

This time, however, Sephiroth and Rhodes maintained a considerable distance; the difference in their fighting strength was quite significant!

In a head-on battle, relying on his own combat experience, he was completely outmatched? Are you kidding me?

Fighting this guy was incredibly frustrating.

The opponent's speed was unimaginable, and each attack was mixed with several special energies, including energies that could corrode life and forces that could disrupt one's mind.

Moreover, this guy seems to be able to predict my attacks. It's as if all my attacks are known to him in advance. After his eyes turn that blood red state, he has an illusion ability.

It can interfere with one's thinking and cause subtle hallucinations.

Otherwise, Sephiroth wouldn't have had such a huge opening, allowing his head to be smashed multiple times.

He was no match for him, not even in his true form. He would be defeated by this guy, even if he came in his real body. Sephiroth could tell that this guy wasn't using his full strength.

The battle that just happened seemed incredibly dangerous, but in reality, I was the one being played. It's unbelievably powerful!

If it weren't for the fact that I'm currently blessed by my mother and have gained unimaginable power, and my life form has been elevated, I probably would have been killed already.

“However, you are disrupting the destiny of the world, which is tantamount to going against the entire world!” Sephiroth waved his hand.

Countless black, ghost-like monsters flew out from behind it, blotting out the sky and covering the entire sky in black.

"Hmph! A frog in a well, unaware of how vast the world is!"

Rhodes snorted and released another Homi creation of his, Helios, which resembled a small sun.

You dare show up in front of me and act all high and mighty!

Then there's only one way out: to be killed by me.

"Helios, burn all those black phantoms around you to death!" Rhodes ordered.

"Yes, my master!" The enormous fireball instantly swelled, releasing terrifyingly high-temperature flames. Some black Fiss creatures around it were instantly burned to ashes upon contact with these flames, and the entire sky was covered in crimson flames.

In an instant, the black monster that had filled the entire sky was burned to ashes. Sephiroth, in the distance, looked on incredulously. What kind of monster was this in front of him? It was like a miniature sun.

Logically, ordinary flames shouldn't pose much of a threat to his flying silk. But the flames this guy released could instantly incinerate the black Fiss he summoned.

How can it be!

These black Fes are their own creations, monsters created by stealing planetary energy and utilizing the power of Genoa, taking advantage of the Mako power mined by the Shinra Corporation.

What kind of flame could possibly kill them completely? It could even burn away the planet's energy!

However, Rhodes had no intention of explaining to Sephiroth. Holding a spiked club in one hand and a fel greatsword in the other, he increased his speed to ten times the normal speed and arrived in front of Sephiroth's clone in an instant.

Once again, the silver-haired handsome man's head was smashed.

The green greatsword unleashed its evil power, instantly binding Sephiroth's soul. At the same time, his eyes transformed into purple Rinnegan, activating his Soul-Soul Fruit ability.

Then the spatial abilities were activated.

"You think I can't break your immortality, kid! You have a soul, and so does Genova! Your appearance before me was the biggest mistake of all." Rhodes finished speaking and began to increase his strength.

Just then, another Sephiroth suddenly appeared behind Rhode, wielding his long sword and slashing at Rhode's head.

But then a bizarre thing happened: Sephiroth's longsword seemed to have struck thin air, slicing right through Rhode's head.

"I forgot to show you this move! Because you can't hit me at all! You idiot! Take this!"

Rhodes turned his head and gave a cold smile, then swung his spiked club, smashing Sephiroth's head once again.

Your current life form is extremely monstrous, practically immortal, and you can use Genoa's abilities to create various clones.

Then I'll be even more monstrous than you! Your abilities are abnormal, but mine are even more abnormal.

How big is Rhodes's private space now? It's half the size of a planet!

He himself can also unleash Kamui abilities like Obito Uchiha, and even more perfectly than Obito's.

He can make his body intangible without any time limit, and parts of his body can also be exposed to attack, unlike Obito Uchiha who had to expose his entire body when attacking.

Furthermore, you have the ability to try and break my spatial ability. If you can't break this move, any attack will be ineffective against me, whether it's an energy attack or a physical attack.

In the entire sky, all of Sephiroth's clones and the black monsters were annihilated by Rhodes.

Even a portion of Sephiroth's soul energy was collected by Rhodes.

"Wow, Rhodes! That Sephiroth is no match for you at all!" Alice pounced on Rhodes, clinging to him and kissing him on the cheek.

“Of course, if that kid dares to show his true form, I’ll destroy his entire body as well,” Rhodes said.

“Mr. Rhodes just communicated with me through the planet’s consciousness,” Alice said, jumping off Rhodes.

“Oh! The will of the planet, what did it say to you?” Rhodes asked.

Unexpectedly, the planet's will actually contacted me. I'll discuss moving with it.

"It wants me to take you to the Forgotten City, to the Temple of Setra," Alice said.

In a secluded space, Sephiroth's true form was leading a large number of black Fes in a fierce battle against the giant monsters created by the planet and the white Fes.

Originally, Sephiroth and Jenova had the upper hand in this battle, and the planetary will could only passively defend.

But Rhodes's battle just now directly annihilated one-third of the entire Sephiroth Legion.

This allowed the planetary consciousness, which was originally on the defensive, to gain the upper hand and launch a counterattack.

"Planetary Will, you just saw the power this guy used!"

"That's also a kind of planetary life energy, the emerald green energy, and that blue energy, all planetary energy," Sephiroth's true form said.

"Roar!" The giant white fish roared and led the white Fiss to attack Sephiroth once again.

"Although I stole the power of your River of Life, I merely transformed it into black Fes; in essence, the planet's energy was not consumed."

Moreover, I will follow the predetermined path of fate, and I will be defeated in the future, but are you sure you want to use this outsider's hand?

"The portion of your planet's life-giving energy that he just destroyed should have felt completely and utterly vanished, without flowing back to you," Sephiroth said.

The portion of black Fes that Rhodes just destroyed was created using planetary energy.

Originally, after they were killed, they would return to the planet's life-giving river.

It increases the power of the planet's will, but those killed by Rhodes were completely erased by fel energy.

A strange white fish! It showed a hint of confusion, but still continued its attack on Sephiroth.

“My goal is indeed to turn you into Mother Genova, but this guy might eat you whole. His goal is the same as mine, or even worse.”

Sephiroth gave a cold smile, then led his Black Fez Legion in a retreat; the war was over.

The giant, monstrous fish, the manifestation of the planet's will, did not lead its white Fiss in pursuit, but instead retreated back to the planet's source of life.

Chapter 311 Planetary Trial: Alice Becomes the Soul of the Planet?

After defeating Sephiroth, Rhode and Aerith arranged for Cloud and the others to continue their journey, while Rhode and Aerith went to the Setra people's temple.

A few days later, Rhodes brought Alice to the ancient Temple of Setra, a great wonder built on this planet by the Setra people!

This is a very special temple. It was built by Setra in ancient times to communicate with the planet. No one can enter this place without the guidance of a Setra person.

Ordinary people cannot get close to this place, because all they see is a desolate ruin.

Only by using special methods can this temple be rebuilt, transforming it from ruins into a complete temple.

Alice arrived at the center of the altar and quickly activated the special magic circle there, causing countless small black patents to begin to combine.

Soon, an ancient temple that blotted out the sky appeared.

The two nodded to each other and then entered the temple, heading towards the central shrine.

For more than a month, Rhode has been frantically infusing Alice with life force every night and has taught her how to use chakra. Now the girl's strength has increased, and her Ancient Zoan abilities are slowly awakening.

However, there was one thing that puzzled Rhodes. Logically speaking, he had already raised Alice's power to an extremely exaggerated level, making her one of the strongest in the Fetra even in ancient times.

Logically, even without coming to this temple, Alice should have been able to communicate seamlessly with the planet's consciousness. But for some reason, the planet only conveyed a message to Alice, instructing them to come to this temple.

No matter how much Alice prayed or how much she used her race's abilities to try to communicate with the planet, the planet simply avoided the topic.

Even recently, neither Sephiroth's black Fira nor Planet Soul's white Fira has appeared again.

Along the way, Rhodes encountered no obstruction from Fila and arrived unimpeded at a temple that shone with emerald light.

In the very center of the temple is a place for prayer.

"This is the place. Two thousand years ago, my ancestors prayed here and communicated with the planet's consciousness," Alice said.

“Alice! Do you know anything about the Righteous Ones?” Rhodes asked.

Rhodes always felt that the Soul of the Planet had brought him to the Temple of Setra for some unspeakable reason.

“I know that the Righteous Ones, like the Genova, are also an alien race, but they are peace-loving, unlike the vicious Genova.”

However, because they are not native to this planet, their souls cannot merge into the planet's river of life after they die, and they cannot find peace.

It is said that this race created a black magic crystal through the power of prayer, and this black magic crystal is hidden in this temple.

It also possesses a very peculiar function: summoning world-destroying meteors. Alice recounted what she knew.

Upon arriving here, she felt disoriented, and fragmented memories began to flash back: she was kneeling here praying, while Sephiroth descended from the sky with a sword and killed her with a single blow.

This was his original destiny. He would enter the River of Life, pray with the planet, borrow the power of the Settra race, and mobilize the energy of the entire planet to stop the world-destroying meteor.

But things are very strange. If the apocalyptic meteor was summoned by humans, it was summoned using black magic crystals.

So the planet must have known this all along. If that's the case, why not destroy the black magic crystal? Wouldn't that have made the planet safe?

“Alice, contact the planetary consciousness immediately and tell it my thoughts. Also, tell the planetary consciousness that I have no ill intentions and that I have already given you detailed information about Titan,” Rhodes said.

Alice nodded upon hearing this, went to the very center of the temple, knelt on the ground, opened her arms, then clasped her hands together and began to pray.

"Great planetary soul, hear my prayer! A god from another world wants to help you defeat the evil Genova and take you to a new universe, a new world."

"It might even help you awaken, become a true living being, and guide us toward a more glorious future." Alice began to murmur to herself.

He also conveyed Rhodes's thoughts and the message of becoming a Titan to the planetary consciousness.

“We heard it, we heard the needs of this outsider, but how can we trust him?”
