Chapter 802: Archetype of Terminus and Genesis Has Entered
Retreat, retreat quickly!
This thought was incredibly strong in Fenrir's mind. At this moment, he had transformed into a fish less than a meter long, swimming through the sea.
Every cell in his body was trembling; it was his biological instinct warning him that he must escape now.
However, watching Ritsu, who fought to the death without retreating, being forced little by little toward the sea, his heart was filled with intense conflict.
He knew very well that there was absolutely no problem with him retreating now. Even if [Ritsu] died in battle, Yoko wouldn't blame anyone.
Even though [Ritsu] was practically the only newcomer in the [Song] assembly; even though everyone knew Yoko had a deep relationship with this young girl, and there were rumors that Yoko had traded a super-high-tier ability with the current King of Monsters of the East District just to exchange for the Demi-Human bloodline for her...
But Fenrir's heart kept contracting. He didn't want to see that King heartbroken. Although he was in terrible condition right now, he still had strong camouflage abilities. If Ritsu's immortality was truly as high-level as that of a Demi-Human...
He still had a chance to save her!
On the coast, Ritsu, wielding her Sea King Trident, wore an increasingly serious expression, her platinum-blonde hair drenched in sweat.
But the enemy before her, no matter how she attacked, stood as immovable as a mountain, exuding a steadiness that made her feel powerless.
The man in golden armor was massive, like a mammoth. Yet, his reaction speed and physical movements were extremely fast. Dragging a massive broadsword with one hand, he used his left hand to horizontally or vertically block the kinetic force and blade winds whipped up by the woman one by one.
Behind him, the corpses of two Reincarnators slowly vanished, turning into crimson streams of data that sank into his chest.
Harmo felt the delight of the deities. The lives of these heathens were the best sacrifices to please the Divine Court, even if...
These guys were pitifully weak right now.
Golden luster gleamed in Harmo's pupils. He continuously pressed forward towards the Reincarnator before him. Even though the opponent was actually much weaker than him, he showed no intention of rushing in rashly.
Nibbling away at the opponent's living space bit by bit, and then severing their path between life and death with a single slash when they were overwhelmingly anxious—that was his preferred fighting style.
Ritsu had been by Echo and Yoko's side for quite some time. She knew clearly that the person before her was roughly equivalent to the strength of a top-tier Reincarnator. Moreover, because of that so-called Void Paradise—which was probably a special world where gods truly walked the earth...
The divine power and Authority levels of these guys were very high, creating a considerable suppression effect when fighting ordinary Reincarnators.
Many abilities would see their effectiveness drastically reduced when facing high-level Authorities, or even fail completely in some cases.
Damn it...
From the corner of her eye, Ritsu glanced towards the sea. She had heard Fenrir's sonar a while ago, but because her companions had died, and the current Reincarnator faction score had reached -25, she desperately wanted to use the Demi-Human's traits to slay a powerful enemy here.
A Demi-Human's immortality was of an extremely high level; it was immortality on an informational level. Even if the physical body was blown to pieces, it could resurrect. But simultaneously, the pain and experience of a Demi-Human's death were incredibly real.
Ritsu was unwilling to endure that for nothing. After an intense mental struggle, she decided to feign an opening. Gripping the trident forcefully with both hands, it immediately shone with a blue-white light. She spun backward, abruptly thrusting the spear in a sudden counterattack.
Hum!
The active effect of the Sea King Trident activated. Intense, high-frequency water waves blasted out. The massive golden man following Ritsu's movements was instantly struck in the chest by the water waves.
Ritsu didn't expect this strike to actually hit, and with excellent effect. She saw the golden divine power on the golden breastplate flicker twice before completely dissipating.
The golden armor instantly cracked and flew off to the sides.
Ritsu changed her mind in an instant. She stomped on the air dozens of times, her figure flashing like lightning, turning into a blue-white streak of lightning as she charged back.
Don't!
The fish Fenrir had transformed into leaped out of the sea and spoke human words. Ritsu indeed possessed many high-tier abilities and items, and in terms of combat power, she was close to him. But lacking experience in facing powerful enemies alone, she was obviously being too reckless.
Sure enough, the next moment, the divine power on the massive golden man's body lit up again. The Sea King Trident, after piercing his chest, was immediately stopped by a terrifying force.
Ritsu's pupils also shrank, and then she saw the broadsword raised high.
Screech!
The air was instantly shattered by the golden divine power. The terrifying residual force of the strike surged madly towards the sea. The sea surface was cleaved open for nearly a thousand meters. The waves on both sides surged madly towards the gap, but the divine power inside prevented the seawater from flowing in.
"Gah~ Pfft!"
Ritsu didn't feel pain, but her mouth and nose were instantly blocked by spurting blood. She watched herself being sliced diagonally from her neck to her waist, her internal organs spilling into the air.
Tsk, what an ugly sight I'm making...
But at this moment, instead of being shaken by the sight of herself being sliced open, Ritsu's mind was unprecedentedly focused. She even felt as if there was no one else between heaven and earth.
Fenrir's backup plan, waiting for reinforcements, the Demi-Human's immortality—she forgot it all completely.
She was going to slay this person right here!
Harmo felt the reverberation of force in the air. His golden pupils trembled slightly, quickly realizing that the intense battle intent came from the person he had just sliced open.
The opponent isn't dead yet? The opponent possesses immortality that my divine power cannot interfere with?!
Harmo inverted his massive broadsword mid-air. That unstoppable kinetic force instantly changed direction under the amplification of divine power. With an exertion of force impossible for an ordinary human, he executed a reverse slash that defied the laws of physics.
Screech~ Pfft!
In just an instant, seven or eight terrifying slashes erupted directly.
Ritsu, entirely unresponsive, was instantly hacked into pieces of a corpse. But her expression was unbridled, as if she had achieved her goal.
Black particles appeared from the corpse. Soon, a black humanoid creature materialized at a speed unobservable by ordinary human eyes, instantly appearing behind Harmo.
The moment Ritsu resurrected, she and the black humanoid creature, as if merging, flew towards Harmo simultaneously with symmetrical movements. Their speed was like a flash of lightning.
Pfft!
This time, Ritsu directly pierced through the massive golden man's body. She let out a hearty roar, the sound no different from a wild beast's.
Harmo looked at the weapon lodged in his chest; one of his hearts had already been shattered.
To think he would be injured by this kind of enemy, this so-called Reincarnator—it filled him with immense rage.
Zzt!
Golden lightning lit up in the sky. The lightning rapidly traveled in a circle through the clouds, like thunder tearing across the sky, swiftly crossing an unknown distance and crashing down from above.
"Harmo, hurry up and finish off this small fry. The reinforcements from that Space will probably arrive very soon."
A cold voice sounded behind Ritsu, followed by the flare of golden thunder. Ritsu shuddered violently, already pierced by the thunder.
The IBM particles were almost unable to condense within this lightning. She immediately felt the shadow of death enveloping her.
Zzt!
The lightning pierced through the IBM particles and struck directly into the sea. The well-prepared Fenrir in the sea immediately evolved eel-like traits to protect his skin.
BOOM!
The concentration of oxygen produced by the electrolysis of the sea was extremely high. Fenrir's brain experienced a moment of chaos. The next moment, he was gripped by a magnetic force and pulled out of the sea into the air.
He landed in the palm of a short-haired blonde man. This man, whose eyebrows seemed to be broken in the middle, was over two meters tall, with well-developed muscles. His body was covered in faint divine power and a layer of golden armor.
"So you're the one who slipped through the net, hiding in the sea and using ultrasound to communicate. Heh~ Reincarnators of this generation can only play these bug-like tricks..."
The man exerted slight pressure with his palm, gradually increasing the electrical current. Fenrir let out a groan of pain. On the other side, Harmo raised his broadsword again, aiming it at Ritsu, who was controlled by the golden thunder.
Fenrir closed his eyes in despair. But the next moment, a crimson prompt appeared before his eyes.
[The third batch of Reincarnators has begun entering]
[Attention: Special Unit Archetype of Terminus and Genesis has entered]
Special Unit?!
As a top-tier Reincarnator who had frequented many secondary and primary worlds, Fenrir had heard of such situations.
But that was generally... the warning given by the Space when a member of the Black King Association appeared.
Archetype of Terminus and Genesis—this title was somewhat familiar to him. His thoughts, muddled by the electric shock, turned quite slowly at this moment.
Finally, a cruel smiling face appeared in his mind.
It's... it's Mercenary Tao!
A silver-white stream of data appeared from the sky, like a beam of light cast directly downwards.
This beam of light split into two mid-air, shooting off in different directions.
One of them shot directly toward the vicinity of this island, the silver-white data stream dissipating mid-air.
Harmo possessed excellent kinetic vision. As a dependent of Hercules and a demigod with thin divine blood, his eyes could capture movements dozens of times the speed of sound.
His gaze followed that data stream, clearly recognizing that it was likely the third batch of Reincarnators deployed by the Infinite Dimensional Space.
They were also the true competitors they had to face.
As long as they eliminated those people and completely erased the coordinates, the Infinite Dimensional Space would lose its right to observe this world.
And right now, [Thunder God Ebito] was right beside him!
With such an excellent opportunity, how could Harmo not seize it? He shifted his gaze away from the data stream and tightened his grip on his broadsword, his Authority of Strength pushed to the limit. He intended to slay this woman while her special abilities were controlled by Ebito.
Hum~ BOOM!
The atmosphere was shattered in an instant. The terrifying shockwave blasted directly from the beach into the mountain forest, tearing through the sea surface on the other side of this small island.
Continuous kinetic force churned in the air, completely turning it into a blazing white smoke dragon.
Harmo's pupils shrank. He clearly swung his sword, but where was his... sword?
No, his pupils trembled as his gaze shifted. He saw his right arm still maintaining the posture of a slash, but both his forearm and the broadsword were planted in the sand beside him, sunk almost to the hilt.
My hand... is severed?!
Zzt!
Golden thunder exploded. Ebito, in the form of lightning, instantly materialized in front of Harmo and pierced straight forward.
At this moment, the figure of a tall, slender human man wearing a dark green trench coat finally condensed on Harmo's retinas.
"Harmo, return!"
Ebito's voice exploded in Harmo's mind like thunder. The majesty in his voice was irresistible. Harmo instinctively prepared to pray to his patron god and request a return.
But the next moment, he felt a void, his brain's thinking speed incredibly slow.
His field of vision was instantly pulled away. Harmo clearly saw the human man's figure at the spot pierced by the lightning vanish like a phantom.
Ebito, who had always been cold and indifferent, turned around. Looking at his eyes, for the first time, Harmo saw anger and astonishment.
Pfft!
Blood mist shooting into the sky rushed into Harmo's nasal cavity. Through his darkening vision, he finally saw the headless corpse of a giant wearing golden armor crash to the ground.
That is... me...
Harmo's incredibly sharp eyes trembled, rolling upwards, finally catching sight of that slender hand holding his own head.
[You have killed Void Paradise Elite-level Contractor: Harmo]
[You have obtained A-Rank Singularity Point * 1, Dimensional Points * 18,000]
[Faction Score +1. Current: -24]
Kaito Shirogane casually tossed the giant man's head aside, then looked at the blonde man who could move as lightning and exuded chilling Authority and divine power.
"He was Elite-level. What level are you?"
A smile danced in Kaito Shirogane's eyes. A silver-white stream of data condensed before him, and the headless corpse of the massive golden man gradually dissipated.
The Infinite Dimensional Space extracted a considerable amount of information from this corpse.
Ebito clenched and unclenched his right fist. Looking at the person before him, the divine power within him began to surge violently.
A phantom had already manifested behind him.
He was certain his intuition wasn't wrong. This guy in front of him, this Reincarnator... was very strong. His current state of having completely no presence was proof that he had surpassed him by an entire tier.
Only in that instant when the other party attacked did he feel a sliver of that presence, that wavering ultimate intent, as if a god of martial combat had descended.
And effortlessly plucked Harmo's head off.
Although Harmo was only a demigod with thin blood, as a descendant of Hercules possessing a Tier 6 Authority, his physical constitution shouldn't have been weak.
Extraordinary speed, extraordinary power, and that technique that completely mastered everything...
Ebito understood in an instant: this was likely the trump card sent by that newly born Observer.
Zzt!
Golden thunder exploded from within Ebito. The golden armor on his body shattered bit by bit. For those favored by gods below Tier 6, this thing was protective gear.
But for him, it had become a restraint.
After Tier 7, the Divine Body manifested, and one could already be called a god. The divine artifacts of others would only hinder him.
"I am Void Paradise Authority-level Contractor: [Thunder God Ebito], and I challenge you here!"
Zzt~ BOOM!
In the sky, golden thunder instantly rolled like lightning snakes. The clouds high above gathered instantly and surged downwards.
Kaito Shirogane stood his ground, calmly watching countless storm clouds and golden thunder sink into the opponent's body.
Soon, the blonde man's figure expanded to about six meters. He naturally floated in the air, a golden divine halo appearing behind him.
Blazing thunder continuously spread in all directions.
That violent thunder began to repel the magicules, spirit particles, and elements in the air. Aside from the lightning element, all other powers began to be expelled.
[You are within the domain of the Thunder God's descent. Abilities other than lightning-type cannot be executed. Authority priorities below Tier 7 cannot be immune to this effect.]
Zzt~
The spreading thunder brushed past Kaito Shirogane, but an invisible force field seemed to separate it. Standing in the center of the thunderstorm, Kaito Shirogane remained completely unaffected.
He merely frowned. After excessive electrolysis, a foul stench began to permeate the air.
Seeing that the other party made no attempt to stop him from activating his Divine Body, nor did he show any intention of attacking proactively, the fighting intent in Ebito's heart burned even more fiercely.
"I have killed one of your Authority-level Reincarnators and seven or eight Elite-level ones. Please fight me to your heart's content. I am very strong and will not disappoint you~"
Ebito was very eager to fight a strong opponent. He had a premonition that the person before him was probably the opponent he yearned for.
Zzt~ Pfft!
Blue-white lightning flared explosively. Ebito felt a sharp pain in his neck. A figure had already walked past him, and a mixture of lightning plasma and blood spurted from his neck.
So fast, so strong...
