You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

Iori observed the behemoth with great interest. The moment he saw the black dragon, he realized that it was not a summoned divine beast, but the strongest god-slayer, Voban himself. Moreover, it was not a true physical transformation, because this black dragon was actually a product of the materialization of a soul!

There is absolutely no mistake; matters of the soul cannot be deceived by his discerning eyes.

Only when the soul becomes a dragon can it remain unharmed even if the body is destroyed. Could this be the secret to his immortality? — This thought flashed through Iori's mind, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"The immortality of the soul... is a similar ability to mine!"

"Don't get too cocky, kid! Roar!!!"

When it comes to dragons, creatures that stand at the pinnacle of mythology, people's impression of them is often of wings that blot out the sky and incredibly powerful bodies. But if you ask what is the most representative feature, it is naturally the dragon fire that burns everything!

Sure enough, the black dragon opened its huge mouth towards Iori, spewing out flames that were almost solidified, burning through the atmosphere and shooting into the sky.

However, Iori showed no fear in the face of this attack. He did not defend himself but simply extended his right hand. As a result, the terrifying flames parted like water and did not harm him in the slightest.

"Roar!"

A hint of shock appeared in the eyes of the black dragon that Voban had transformed into; it was the first time he had ever seen anything resist dragon fire like this. But considering the physical strength displayed by that punch earlier... this seemed quite ordinary.

"Among all the flames, none can compare to my teacher, not even the power of the gods."

After the flames dissipated, when Iori reappeared in Voban's sight, she had already teleported in front of him. The black dragon's massive body had no way to dodge... How ridiculous, this kind of transformation ability is meant to crush the opponent with absolute power. Has it ever considered the technique of dodging?

The marquis refused to admit defeat and opened his mouth wide to bite down hard!

"One bone."

Iori's face betrayed no emotion; the only thing that could be sensed was the immense power brewing beneath the destructive red aura.

Zheng!

A brief, dazzling burst of light, as brilliant as a bursting firework, before being rapidly stretched into an illusory glow.

Click!

The sharp fangs were shattered by sparks. Amidst the dragon's painful roar, the pale, translucent air currents and deep crimson light swirled around Iori's fist. With a punch capable of splitting mountains and seas, it blasted directly into the dragon's body from its mouth!

hum! ! !

Unimpeded traffic!

The surging magical power ripped apart flesh and blood, and the enormous black dragon was pierced through from head to tail. Its vertical pupils lost their light, and its body fell limply downwards.

Iori coldly looked down, and suddenly a dark ripple spread from behind him. An owl flew out from it, turning into black mist that slashed across the black dragon's body like the Grim Reaper's scythe!

"The power of the underworld, the soul... Little devil... Is this what they call... death...?"

The Marquis's soul fell silent, and the cursed power that formed his black dragon body began to slowly dissipate, after which there was no further movement.

Having dominated the world and amassed so much power, possessing a multitude of methods that made him arguably the foremost god-slayer, he was now defeated by Iori in such a wild and direct manner—something the Marquis probably never anticipated.

"Even with a thousand variations, nothing compares to the 'one' that has been honed to its ultimate form."

Iori sighed.

"Okay, that makes two."

"You really know how to talk nonsense, what do you mean by the ultimate... You say that, but I see you have quite a lot of power."

Tony stood on the ground that had already been plowed, and pouted: "I'm the one who has mastered the 'one' to the extreme, okay?"

You're a greedy cultivator like the old man, only you can wield each ability with the same precision as my sword... Tsk, you're a monster!

"..."

He turned his gaze to Tony and smiled kindly: "What, do you have a problem with that?"

"Yes!"

Tony laughed heartily. Seeing the scene of Voban's defeat just now, how could he not know that he was no match for Iori? But he still carried the knight's sword, which was wrapped with huge magical power, and went to meet him without hesitation.

"A sword is meant to charge forward without hesitation!"

Chapter 401: The Demon King's Civil War Ends in One Day

Seeing Tony's seemingly resigned attitude, Iori couldn't help but smile, but after a moment's thought, she released the "Hado Sei" restraints, returned to normal, and drew her Zanpakuto from her storage space—

Clang!

Just as she drew half of the sword, Tony's magic sword collided with it. Iori remained unfazed, her Ama no Kusanagi sword and the all-severing Silver Hand sword holding up against each other.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

"My soul blade is theoretically as sharp as my spirit is strong. If you can cut it, you will surely be able to defeat me."

After saying that, Iori shook her head: "But it's too difficult for you."

Zheng!

The clash of the two sharp blades unleashed invisible waves that tore through the atmosphere.

"This time, I won't use brute force; I'll go all out in swordsmanship... let's have a pure and simple contest."

"it is good!"

Tony licked his lips excitedly, rousing himself like a lion, and his longsword, which had been tracing a path, suddenly slashed horizontally.

……

Meanwhile, Hades and Luo Hao had clashed at some point and were engaged in a massive battle.

On one side is a giant who can wield spears of fire and thunder and control lightning, whose appearance is similar to that of the smoke mirror Tescatlipoca from South American legend.

He was extremely robust, with skin as black as the night sky, his face painted with black and yellow stripes, his right foot made of smooth obsidian, and the strips of cloth covering his body in bright red, yellow, and black. He carried a wooden tube with several long spears on his back, and his head was decorated with the feathers of a seven-faced bird.

This is the power of Hades' incarnation, granting him a certain size and strength in exchange for the sacrifice of something. This time, she offered the Statue of Liberty as a sacrifice—since the Americans have no use for it anyway, its massive steel mass and special symbolic meaning transformed her into a hundred-meter-tall giant, whose every move could wield immense divine power.

On the other side is a Vajra Warrior of the same height, but compared to when he fought Iori, the current Warrior's figure is clearer, his face is like an angry Vajra, and a golden light of merit even appears behind his head, making his moves even more powerful!

Thud—thud—thud!

The collisions continued, and the space in front of Luo Hao and Hades resounded with continuous explosions and gusts of violent wind, making the space itself seem about to collapse.

This small world was clearly not able to withstand their antics. Even though most of the power fell on the enemy, the residual effects were still quite astonishing.

Hades' incarnation has more tricks up her sleeve than Vajrapani. She can control thunder and fire and throw spears from a distance, but Luo Hao is superior in both defense and strength. In addition, she can sing songs and create shockwaves. The combination of these two abilities has already firmly suppressed Hades!

"Hey...are we still going to fight?"

Hades stepped back a few paces, temporarily avoiding Luo Hao's pursuit, and said, "Look at the current situation. Marquis Voban displayed such powerful might, yet he was still no match for the War King. I imagine that even if it were you or me, we wouldn't fare much better."

In such a chaotic battle, with such a uniquely powerful individual appearing, shouldn't the normal approach be to join forces and eliminate him from the arena first?

"Hmph! You think you can shake His Highness? Even if I were included, it would be the same!"

Luo Hao raised both hands: "Get past me first!"

"So you were already subdued by him long ago... Humph!"

Hades then revealed her feminine arrogance, but quickly immersed herself in her new role, continuing her large-scale battle with Luo Hao.

"What Prince I? Isn't his name Aizen Iori?!"

"A name is just an external thing; he's not someone you can judge with common sense!"

Luo Hao was in high spirits, and the more he fought, the more energetic he became.

She was now practically Iori's subordinate, and to avoid making her feel resentful or that obeying a foreign demon king would damage her reputation, Iori specifically explained to her that he came from another world, China, and that, according to their souls, they were compatriots.

Luo Hao finally let go of the past and began working for Iori, as punishment for her failed challenge. However, she did not call Iori by his full name, but instead used "I" as his Chinese surname, making her the only person to address Iori in this way.

Her raw strength was already above Hades', and after years of training in the spacetime turbulence, she became even more proficient. Once she got serious, she could force Hades to retreat step by step. Even if Pluto changed several abilities, he could not turn the tide against Luo Hao's simple and pure power.

"Fine! Since you insist on making things difficult for me, then I won't hold back!"

Hades roared, "To carry out this annihilation, I have laid out my grand plan—"

I am omnipotent and can make use of the people, treating them all as my slaves. I am the wind of the night, I control the heavens and the earth, I am the noblest magician!

I am the Night Axe that summons the end, the messenger from the underworld who brings down the curtain of world's demise!

This is the power that Hades usurped from the Aztec demon [Tescatlipoca], and can be used to obtain different incarnations by consuming different sacrifices.

The giants are effective in both offense and defense, but the most powerful one is the one currently being chanted—

“Ahhhhh!

"Flame of Annihilation"

Suddenly, scorching flames erupted from the inside of Hades' massive body, and ominous black shadows spread out from beneath his skin, distorting the surrounding atmosphere with intense heat.

This is the power to destroy everything by burning one's own body, transforming into a powerful, dark blue flame, which is the embodiment of the "sun," and its power is no less than that of the God of War's incarnation, the White Horse!

"Mighty Vajra Divine Skill!"

Luo Hao naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch the other party unleash their power. He roared and unleashed his golden giant palm to strike, but the moment they touched, Hades' body turned into a sky full of flames.

"Mudada! I don't have a physical form right now, so you can't hurt me!"

boom!

Soaring black flames enveloped the Vajra Warrior, whose invulnerable golden body melted away as quickly as ice and snow!

"If that native giant is a South American deity, then this black flame must be the day of destruction recorded in the original texts, the legendary tyrant's smoke mirror... the temperature of the sun?"

Luo Hao looked up at the melting phantom of the warrior, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he remained calm.

During her wandering journey, she gained new powers, the ability to deny the sun and the monarchy, a reversal technique that replaced the heavens with the yellow heavens. Although the flames were scorching, they could not break her!

"If you are at the age of sixty, the world will be blessed!"

In an instant, the sky turned to the color of dusk, and a blood-red sunset enveloped the earth. The dark flames were suppressed by an invisible force and stopped before the unseen boundary line.

"I have seen three volumes of heavenly books, and the decrees of the immortals!"

Using the number nine, one sees a group of dragons without a leader; this is auspicious!

Luo Hao's eyes shone brightly, and the hundred-meter-tall Vajra Warrior instantly reshaped his golden body. This time, the halo behind him transformed into a Taoist-style ribbon, and he held a long halberd like a divine guardian, slashing fiercely down at the dark sea of ​​fire!

boom! ! !

The sea of ​​fire collapsed with a deafening roar!

This collision seemed to have exceeded the critical point, and the entire small world shattered. Amidst the turbulence, the demon kings returned to the mortal world.

The ripples of magical energy swept across the surrounding area, passing over the super city built of steel and concrete, shattering countless panes of glass that flew into the air and transformed into an inorganic blizzard!

"Well!"

A graceful figure flew out from the dissipating magical power, her consciousness blurred. This self-destruction ability had taken a huge toll on her, even requiring her "life" as the price. Although she was still alive, she was in an extremely dangerous situation.

"Haha...I haven't lost yet!"

Even at this point, Hades still has no intention of surrendering. Although she loves playing the role of a superhero to fight evil, she is essentially a godkiller—an anomaly whose bones are harder than alloy!

Moreover, wounded god-slayers are recognized as ferocious beasts, and no one knows how sharp their hidden fangs are until the very last moment!

Hades still has a fighting chance, but Luo Hao is not in top form either. Having exhausted a lot of her magical power, can she successfully defeat Hades?

"To transport us to that distant land... O blessed fairy child, please display your incredible power here!"

A melodious chanting sounded, and the ground beneath Hades' feet suddenly transformed into a cave resembling the mouth of a giant beast, instantly swallowing her inside. Then, lush trees and flowers sprouted around her, completely covering the cave entrance.

When Luo Hao's attack arrived, all the plants were pulverized, but the cave entrance was nowhere to be seen.

Of course, this is only invisible to the naked eye. In reality, a "cave" has already appeared here, which will open at a certain time to release the returning person... but it is uncertain whether it is Hades.

Seeing this, Luo Hao frowned, but also looked somewhat helpless: "Aisha...why are you stopping me?"

"We are brothers and sisters who are all god-slayers. We should love each other. If it weren't for the reasons behind this incident, there would be no need for us to fight and kill each other."

Lady Aisha emerged with a saintly smile—no one had noticed her presence before, not even Iori seemed to have forgotten her; the [Map of Mountains and Rivers] could not restrain her movements.

How strange and wonderful!

Luo Hao felt a bit of a headache, but she had spent some time with Aisha and knew how peculiar this person's thought process was. What she said was not false... She genuinely hoped that the demon kings could love each other.

Because she had saved him during the time-space turbulence, Luo Hao felt indebted to Aisha and could only wave goodbye at this moment.

Of course, even if she made it clear that she wanted to fight Elsa... it wouldn't have any effect.

This person's offensive and defensive capabilities are probably the most mediocre among the Godslayers, but when it comes to the ability to protect oneself, she is probably unmatched. Luo Hao is not confident that he can do anything to her.

Moreover, during his long life of wandering, Wuxia Wang had already witnessed the kind of "luck" that Aisha possessed... If you were to be her enemy, putting aside everything else, it wouldn't be surprising if you were so unlucky as to run into a meteorite falling from the sky when you went out!

Where did you send Hades?
