Inner Destroyer

　The high temperature scorched the air, and even the stone slabs that had been buried by volcanic ash for thousands of years exploded in the extreme heat wave, turning into fragments flying all over the sky, like flowers of death blooming in flames!

　"Rip Man" leaped into the air during the blast, using incredible strength to block the raging fire. He could withstand impacts that would have been unbearable for ordinary humans, yet he remained unscathed.

　The same is true for Romani Domingo.

　"Welcome to my place, 'Rep Master'! You've brought a really big firework!"

　He walked out of the fire cloud, like a god rising from hell, opening his arms to welcome Qi Xing, grinning widely.

　"Your aura has changed so much! Have you finally found your desire?"

　Good question. Romani is so perceptive, almost a little perverse!

　How would Qi Xing respond? How did Romani think he would respond?

　The answer is, he doesn't answer.

　"Thunder Fist!"

　The incomparably powerful punch was like a thunderbolt from the sky, exploding with a bang! The power of this punch was more powerful than thunder, more domineering, and more ferocious!

　Without Romani dodging, the punch went right into his stomach, sending the bullshit and him flying!

　"Hahaha!"

　He flew out in circles, laughing loudly, flipping and flying horizontally, smashing ten ancient houses and being buried in the rubble.

　But the next second, he floated back like mist, seemingly unharmed.

　Damn Brahma blesses me with immortality.

　"What a powerful punch! Twice as strong as before! I guess you've finally been freed from those mundane affairs of the ants?"

　He came back clapping and laughing, and asked with interest,

　"Or did you come here just to kill all the garbage that was in your way?"

　After saying this, he waved his hand around. It turned out that the bodies of the long-dead Black Voodoo warriors were scattered everywhere in the ancient city ruins, now being burned by the flames ignited by the missile explosion.

　"A mere ordinary duel would be too demeaning for both of us. Let us use the ruins of this ancient city and the corpses of these ants as sacrifices for our world-shattering battle!"

　"You and I are the only ones who can act so recklessly! My kind, my brother! Shouldn't you give me a smile too?"

　The flames gradually died down, and black smoke billowed into the sky, like a mournful lament of death once again shrouding the ancient city. The ruins of the ancient city, having weathered thousands of years of wind and rain, were to be completely destroyed by the prelude to their battle—not even the formal aftermath of the battle. Romani couldn't help but laugh.

　Using missiles—they actually forced the Vatican to urgently acquire NATO cruise missiles and then, without a word, blew up historical relics! Such recklessness, of course, is something only people like them could do. Aren't they the same kind of people?

　So, Qi Xing, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

　"Wrong. I'm not you."

　Unlike the noisy and laughing Romani, Qi Xing's attitude seemed very calm and composed.

　"I will not kill or abandon those who love and respect me."

　Even as he spoke, Qi Xing's offensive didn't stop at all. With a flick of his hands, ten lightning bolts shot through the air, blasting towards Romani!

　The same electric flashes as before, these were still the "Five Thunder Demon Slayer Swords" that Qi Xing could easily unleash. However, its power was now even stronger, more brutal, and even more terrifying than usual!

　Such a dramatic improvement overnight couldn't possibly be due to the comprehension of new technology. Clearly, at least in Romani's view, there was only one explanation for this sudden surge in strength—a clear understanding of one's own desires, further fueling the power of the silver coin. This was the source of their "Silver Coin Messenger" strength.

　Romani dodged Qi Xing's lightning blade and continued to observe him with interest, thinking about Qi Xing's desire and the source of his power. He could see that Qi Xing's heartbeat was faster than usual and the blood in his body was accelerating. He said calmly and his face was indifferent, but in fact he was also very excited.

　.

　What is he excited about?

　"But you still came, 'Rep Master', and came alone, which made me feel very relieved."

　Romani grinned.

　"I was a little worried that if you brought all the masters of the Holy See with you, it would be an insult to our decisive battle. But you didn't."

　"You're here to enjoy this battle, too. You've left those rubbish behind and come here on your own, eager to kill me for pleasure, just like me!"

　These words finally made Qi Xing, who seemed calm, suddenly change his expression.

　But he wasn't angry this time.

　He wasn't even embarrassed.

　He wasn't even afraid of being criticized.

　Qi Xing smiled this time, a smile that he couldn't help but slide onto the corners of his mouth... a very disgusting smile.

　"That's totally wrong, nigger—I didn't come here alone."

　what?

　This finally startled Romani slightly. Instantly, he unleashed all his senses, his clairvoyance and insight, scanning the surroundings—but of course, there was no one else. Qi Xing had indeed come alone.

　No way, "Rep Zhenren"? You're even telling a lie that's instantly exposed, just to show off your quick wit. You can't be that low, right?

　Perhaps noticing Romani's strange look, Qi Xing continued talking - and his next sentence finally really shocked Romani!

　"I came here with the expectation of people who trust me and love me."

　Qi Xing said.

　Although he tried hard to appear solemn and serious, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He was smiling.

　A smug, disgusting smile!

　Romani had never thought that "Rep Master" would have such a weird smile on his face. He was even stunned for a moment.

　What kind of smile is this?

　It was a smile that Romani Domingo would not understand.

　——It’s the kind of smug smile that only a virgin, who has lived two lives, can reveal after a beautiful girl confesses her love to him!!

　“Hehehe…Hehehe…Hahahaha!”

　Qi Xing could no longer suppress the smile in his heart!

　What was rising in his chest was not the murderous intent and the thrill of fighting against Romani, but the joy that made his blood boil.

　Just thinking of Elaine's slightly flushed shy cheeks an hour ago, and the shyness and anticipation flashing in her downcast eyes, Qi Xing's heart would beat faster, and his pulse would beat at an indescribable speed.

　All the anxiety and fear disappeared.

　Now he felt that he could do anything! He could tie his legs and beat a Formula One car, beat seven billion people in a tug-of-war, and even shoot down the sun with a slingshot!

　Sensing something was amiss, Romani immediately unleashed a ferocious War Dance Axe Kick. His kick was like a mountain collapsing, smashing straight into Qi Xing's face!

　But somehow, Qi Xing was able to force out an even more powerful punch, blocking Romani's kick with a perfect block, and then counterattacked with a thunder fist with 120% of the power, hitting Romani's nose!

　Even with Brahma's immortality, Romani's body was still uncontrollably sent flying by the punch, crashing through one, two, ten buildings—completely piercing the entire ancient city! Human-shaped holes were left in the walls of half the ruins of the city, and the thunder fist blasted through the ground like a meteor, creating a deep crater!

　Debris flew everywhere, and the shock wave spread out like a hurricane, even blowing out the fire caused by the missile explosion in an instant!

　"Hahaha! Your war dance is nothing but a kitten's paw to me now!"

　Qi woke up and laughed out loud.

　Just those words from Elaine were more powerful to him than any blessing buff! He was now filled with infinite power!

　Is this a virgin? How scary!

　"I see."

　Romani jumped out of the human-shaped pit, dusted off his body, and was still unharmed.

　But Qi Xing wasn't even bothered by it anymore. It was just immortality, wasn't it? What was so scary about immortality? He could slowly kill Romani five hundred times.

　Besides, Francesca also said that Romani's "wife" was hiding deep in the "inner world" here.

　"What worldly affairs, what about throwing away trash? You idiot, you think you've abandoned others, but in fact, no one really loves you, black man!"

　So Qi Xing was still laughing!

　"All they love is your ice-coated dick!"

　These words finally made Romani frown.

　He was clever, after all. After a moment's hesitation, he guessed about 70% of the answer. "I see. I understand what's going on, Master Leipu. You're probably using desires like 'love' to propel the coins."

　"Your silver coin's power is 'dominance' or something like that, so you'll crave long-term relationships, just like the previous owner of your coin."

　Although he was ridiculed by Qi Xing, Romani remained calm.

　"But I'm afraid my silver coin possesses the power of 'change'."

　"So I don't need the love you're talking about. I can't get pleasure from it either."

　"The lives of mortal ants are too fragile, and human emotions are unreliable and can be easily shaken."

　"Even if she really meets someone she truly understands, after a hundred years she will just be reduced to dry bones."

　"Since we're all going to die sooner or later, what's the difference between dying now and dying eighty years from now?"

　"Become my subordinate

144

　At least their names will be recorded in history, right?"

　The chatter continues and the fight continues.

　Romani's steps were so light, his body seemingly weightless, twirling and leaping in a round dance, dodging every incoming punch from Qi Xing. His figure rolled like waves, sometimes bending to the ground, sometimes leaping into the air, his toes slicing through the air, his fierce kicks piercing the wind.

　Qi Xing responded with overwhelming force. Each time his heavy fist landed, it was like thunder cracking the earth. The wind from his fists roared like a storm, and the power burst forth instantly with each blow, shaking the air with a shriek.

　The battle was intertwined in an instant, with both sides going back and forth, as if time was stretched at this moment.

　After all, the immortal strongman is not so easy to defeat. Qi Xing, are you going to keep fighting so slowly?

　of course not.

　Suddenly, Romani felt a terrifying aura sweeping across the sky like a hurricane. The air was violently trembling, dust was pushed aside by invisible air waves, and gravel tumbled in the tremors, as if foreshadowing the impending destruction.

　Taking advantage of a gap when Romani was beaten back in the fierce battle, Qi Xing raised his fist high.

　"I am Osiris! Lord of the Underworld, Neb-ertcher!"

　"My roots reach deep into the world, my will rends the earth!"

　His veins bulged, his muscles tightened, and then he slammed his right fist into the ground with tremendous force!

　Instantly, a resounding explosion erupted like divine wrath! The ground of the ancient city, unable to withstand the king's command, instantly crumbled, and the entire ruins wailed!

　One punch!

　A single punch, brimming with the power of "Domination," sent cracks raging from the point of impact! The stone slabs of the ancient city fractured layer by layer, the immense force causing the earth to explode. Buildings instantly lost their support, and the remaining stone pillars collapsed with a thud. Dust and rubble transformed into a torrent, propelled skyward by the shockwave!

　The next second, the entire ancient city collapsed and sank! The ground roared and shattered in a chain reaction, rocks rolled, streets collapsed, and everything was dragged into the abyss beneath the ruins!

　It was as if the earth was torn open with a horrible wound, revealing unfathomable darkness!

　This is the "inner world" of "Black Spartacus" hidden beneath the ancient city!

　Qi Xing actually smashed the entire ancient city of Herculaneum into the depths of the "inner world"!

　055: The greatest hero, personal attack

　Do you still remember the basic structure of the "inner world"?

　The "Inner World" is located in a dimension deeper than the human material world.

　Located between the "dream of all beings" of all mankind and the material world.

　In other words, if the material world is compared to "air" and the collective unconscious of human beings is compared to the "ocean", then the "inner world" is the bubbles floating in the ocean, rising and falling.

　Therefore, the surface of each "inner plane" overlaps with the material world. Only the deep layers and "heart chambers" are hidden in the dream world, like an iceberg floating on the sea.

　Long before the missile crashed in, Qi Xing had already felt that the ancient city of Herculaneum was the surface of this "inner world".

　Breaking through from the surface to the deeper layers might require solving a puzzle. But since Francesca had already revealed the answer, and since Qi Xing already understood the mythological symbolism of Romani, why delay?

　He would use his "dominant" power to blast the iceberg directly into the sea!

　One punch!
