The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Very familiar...

As they continued to clash, Ye Xiao felt as if he had a complete understanding of his opponent's every move.

The angle at which the blade falls, the timing of the skill activation...

This is not an illusion, but a physical memory formed from countless practice sessions with the "self" in my dreams.

Now, as Ye Xiao recalls the strange cultivation method that the Dream God deliberately had him fight against his past self in reincarnation, he feels that the arrangement is somewhat subtle.

Did she even foresee that I would eventually have to confront "myself"?

A moment of surprise flashed through Ye Xiao's mind, but he quickly returned his focus to the battle.

The intense battle at hand left him no room for distraction. Although he had countless targeted combat experiences, Seren's strength was far, far greater than his past selves in his dreams.

The slashing lines fell like a net, and Ye Xiao, relying on instinct, found the only gap in the net and used his teleportation ability to dodge through it in an instant.

Now, having experienced the extraordinary journey across two realms, his understanding of spacetime magic has reached a new level.

No longer needing to imprint anchor points in advance, relying solely on his perception of spatial laws, everything within a ten-mile radius can serve as the endpoint for his leaps.

But the blade light that Seren summoned with every move covered an even wider area, and almost the instant Ye Xiao appeared, the line of slashes enveloped his figure.

If Ye Xiao hadn't reacted immediately and used his bone knife to unleash a slashing light to block it, he would have been torn to pieces in that single second.

"Clang clang clang clang"

The blade burst into flames under the cutting force of the invisible power, and it was only thanks to the hastily crafted divine weapon that it was able to withstand the attack at the level of the laws.

As for the slashing lines that Ye Xiao himself attached to the blade, they broke like cotton threads upon colliding with the opponent's slashing aura.

Although they have mastered the same rules, there is a world of difference between someone who has just learned them and someone who has practiced them for a long time.

Therefore, Ye Xiao was well aware that he could not rely solely on the Slashing Technique to fight his opponent head-on, even though it was his strongest offensive method at the moment.

Fortunately, he had been training with "himself" in this way during the trials given by the Dream God, and he was already quite adept at combining skills from various professions.

The next moment, Ye Xiao's figure quietly disappeared into the surging waves of pale tentacles. His murderous aura, which had been overwhelming just moments before, vanished in an instant, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

This is the Phantom Assassin's Shadow Step.

Seren's gaze sharpened, his eyes quickly sweeping across the flying tentacles. Then, as if he had immediately caught something, he decisively swung his longsword, formed from the flesh and blood of the black tentacles, across the air.

The blade's edge sliced ​​a figure out of thin air, but it was merely a fleeting afterimage.

"It's that boring trick again."

Siren quickly turned around and caught sight of Ye Xiao appearing from behind. Just as she was about to strike with her slash, she saw Ye Xiao suddenly tap the deep red molten core embedded in the hilt of her slash with a finger.

Turn the starry sky upside down!

Chapter 265 Spatial Tricks

In an instant, the phantom of a nebula appeared in the sky, with countless stars swirling and drifting, instantly obscuring Ye Xiao's figure from the space.

"Adam's authority?"

Seren frowned. No wonder he sensed the aura of a god from the other party's strangely shaped longsword.

But shifting positions was meaningless to him; he was quite confident that no matter which angle the empty shell filled with the remnant soul was moved from, it could never be his true opponent.

Such petty tricks are no match for absolute strength.

Despite the dizzying spatial shift, Seren was still able to accurately determine her location on the battlefield after the spatial teleportation.

A figure silently appeared behind him amidst the billowing dust as space shifted. Without the slightest hesitation, Seren swung his sword and slashed at the opponent's neck.

"Zi La"

The blade flashed, carrying a fierce slashing technique, cleaving through the dust and smoke. But what appeared behind it was not Ye Xiao, but a silver-haired girl whose gaze suddenly sharpened.

Ella Haviere...? No, it's my lord!

Seren was startled, while Lydia immediately swung her arm, creating a spatial rift that blocked the blade's edge.

A piercing sound, like glass scraping, echoed in the air—the mournful cry of a space being shattered by a blade's edge.

But this did stop the advance of the sharp edge. Lydia, who had come to her senses, glared at Siren with murderous intent in her deep red eyes.

Everything was left unsaid. She had almost been beheaded by her own people. Although a dignified Chaos Incarnation wouldn't die like that, it must have made her extremely angry.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Seren's forehead. Before she could even express her remorse, the world in her field of vision instantly transformed into countless scattered spatial fragments that shifted and reassembled.

Again! ?

Seren was filled with rage amidst the dizzying sensation, but she cautiously gripped the black-bearded longsword in her hand.

He must understand this clearly first.

The spatial teleportation paused in an instant, and a petite figure reappeared amidst the dust and smoke stirred up by the swirling wind.

Seren carefully focused his divine power into his eyes, his gaze quickly piercing through the smoke, and soon he could see the lovely appearance of the silver-haired girl.

His grip on the long sword loosened instantly. Damn it, she was trying to trick him again... Wait, why is she wearing a white dress?!

"boom--"

A torrent of holy light erupted from Ella's raised fingertips, the surging light piercing through Seren's chest in the blink of an eye.

The latter's body was suddenly engulfed by white light, and it was blasted into the ground from thousands of meters in the sky by a straight beam of light.

The converging streams of light burst into a dazzling hemispherical firework, blasting a huge crater in the ground.

But then several blades of light shot out from the center of the explosion, actually shattering the towering light curtain into several pieces.

Siren's figure appeared suddenly amidst the raging wind. He roared and took a step into the sky, about to cleave Ella's body with his sword.

But the annoying "Reversed Starry Sky" was activated again. As the stars in the sky spun rapidly, when she came to her senses, a silver-haired girl in a black dress was standing in front of the blade that Seren had brought down.

His eyes widened suddenly, abruptly stopping his sword strike, but the girl's mocking smile immediately made him feel uneasy.

With a flick of her black dress, several pale tentacles bloomed like anemones, instantly emerging from beneath the intricately patterned hem and piercing through Seren's body.

"How come you can't recognize me just because I changed my clothes?"

As the light and shadow shifted, Ella's black dress returned to pure white. This was just a small trick created by the elemental mage using water waves mixed with black rocks, but because of its underlying principle, it was more real than any elaborate illusion.

After all, illusions are merely products of magic and can be seen through, but black paint is simply the color in its physical appearance.

"A dog that can't even smell its owner's scent is not a good dog."

A white halo shone from the tips of the tentacles that ran through Seren's back, and many tiny tentacles poured in from the wound, attempting to take the opportunity to erode Seren's mind.

But then black flames erupted from its chest, and jet-black tentacles pierced down from the sky, snatching away Seren's body and flinging it into the drifting rain of mud.

A short while later, Seren, with a large hole still in her chest, swayed as she stood up. Countless tiny tentacles grew from the wounds on her body, weaving together new flesh and blood.

"what--!!!"

But as her body recovered, Seren suddenly went berserk, clutching her head and screaming.

"Humph."

A spatial ripple then spread out, and Lydia slowly walked out from beside Seren, digging her hand into Seren's head as if it were mud and stirring it a couple of times.

The latter then quieted down and stared intently at Ella with a terrifying gaze that seemed to want to devour her.

"You've turned the authority of gods and men into a troublemaker; that's quite an achievement."

Lydia said with a cold laugh.

"humor."

Ye Xiao flashed through the air, his bone knife twirling gracefully. "If my move is a troublemaker, then what are you two who got messed up?"

Lydia's face immediately darkened.

These two idiots are actually no match for them in one-on-one combat, but they work together very well, and more importantly, they are incredibly disgusting when it comes to words.

With that move of reversing the starry sky, the opponent could always create a two-on-one situation in the air. Although Lydia knew very well that she would not fail because of such a stupid trick, she was the supreme god of chaos. Now she was being bitten by these two ants and they just couldn't kill her. It was really annoying.

Ella Hevil's Holy Light tentacles were also quite strange; even though their power and the number of tendrils they produced were less than hers, they could still grow continuously.

At the same time, Ella's mind was racing, trying to figure out how to deal with the two people opposite her.

After that exchange, Seren seems to be experiencing strange problems after suffering a fatal injury, and it seems that Lydia needs to be by his side to resolve or suppress them.

Could it be that a trace of the original spirit's will remains, resisting corruption?

Although it's somewhat unbelievable that a dead person could resist the corruption of chaos, this guy was, after all, "Ye Xiao," and it's not impossible that he possessed something extraordinary.

"We need to find a way to separate those two."

Almost simultaneously, the same thought popped into both of their minds.

The next second, Ella raised her hand and summoned a large number of tentacles, while Lydia decisively set up a gravity magic circle that covered an area of ​​ten miles.

The powerful gravity instantly caused everything in sight to fall into the earth.

Ella suddenly felt as if she were weighed down by a thousand pounds, and the tentacles she had summoned were also pressed to the ground.

Ye Xiao gritted his teeth, bearing the immense gravity, and was about to activate the bone knife to unleash "Reversal of the Stars" when Lydia raised her hand and rippled through space. Ella, who was beside him, suddenly disappeared from the spot as if erased by an eraser.

Chapter 266 Divine Power Appears

The icy wind lashed against my face, and the biting chill permeated my entire body.

In the blink of an eye, Ella's vision was transformed into a vast expanse of white ice.

"Where did you put this in for me?"

Completely bewildered, Ella looked around in astonishment. Amidst the vast snow, she could see the blue sky being pierced and shattered by the tentacles.

...The North?

Ella's lips twitched. Good heavens, this was practically banishing her to the other side of the continent.

This is terrible. Ye Xiao is going to get beaten up by two people at once. The teleportation ability can only support a jump within a ten-kilometer range at most. If she tries to rush back, Ye Xiao will probably be buried with grass growing two meters high.

But right now she only has the divine authority of light. The other divine authority she previously obtained through the authority of life, including the ability to open spatial gates, is with Chaos, and it seems she can't get it for the time being...

No, not necessarily.

With a thought, Ella opened the system panel and was astonished to see that the "Evil God Skill Tree" was still there.

Apart from the newly added "Nameless Man's Scepter" shining with golden light at the base, all other divine power skill icons are grayed out.

So she closed her eyes, calmed herself, and slowly raised her fingertips in the howling wind.

In the past, when manipulating the divine power of life, it was actually just replicating the application of laws by other divine authorities; in essence, it was still the effect of the highest-ranking divine power of life in the present world.

Light and life share the same origin, so in theory, the divine power of light should also be able to replicate the effects of other divine powers.

Thinking this, she began to slowly trace her memories and search for that feeling of manipulating the laws of space back then.

As her thoughts shifted, the glow in the skill node named "The Nameless One's Scepter" on that gray skill tree gradually spread along the trunk, as if flowing golden blood was slowly pouring into the gray branches.

The withered trees, which were originally filled with decay and death, now seemed to be infused with life, sprouting new leaves, while the fruits, which originally symbolized other divine powers, slowly lost their original gray color and began to shine like stars.

Of course, the tendrils and large eyes that were wrapped around the tree trunk were still there, but they were now tinged with white and gold, making them look even more eerie.

……

On the other side, Ye Xiao was desperately using the Reversed Starry Sky technique to dodge the dark tentacles coming from all directions and Seren's slashes.

He felt like a laundry ball in a washing machine, spinning wildly around the entire area for miles around, making him feel like he was about to throw up.

But he dared not stop for even a second, for there were deadly tentacles everywhere. Without Ella, he would be doomed if Lydia or Seren caught him.

But he wasn't the only one feeling uncomfortable; Seren was also disgusted. This bastard wouldn't fight back, but instead led everyone on a giant swing ride. Even with the best willpower, his head would start to throb.

He really felt that calling that guy a troublemaker was too lenient; this was already the biggest troublemaker out there.

"Damn it!! All you do is sit here like a rat with your rat hole, going around in circles???"

"Can't you act like a normal person and fight me fair and square?!"

"Do you think I'm stupid? I won't fight you if it's one against two!"

Ye Xiao's voice seemed to be wandering everywhere, each word popping out from all directions.

Lydia was also annoyed by the rotation. The key was that Adam's divine power analyzed the mapping relationship between stars and space. By rotating through the starry sky, it completely disrupted the original coordinate system in space. Even if she could use spatial magic, she could only travel within the established spatial coordinate system and could not stop the abstract changes that were constantly happening within the coordinate system itself.

Unless... she directly destroys everything within this area.
