Chapter 1796: World Breaker Limbs!
Chapter 1796: World Breaker Limbs!
Cain and Meylin surged forward at shocking speeds, defying conventional limits. Cain moved first, each stride brutally tearing through the fabric of space itself, leaving behind rippling distortions that stretched and cracked under the immense force of his advance.
Meylin moved in tandem, yet her approach was entirely different; space held no meaning for her. She assumed an ethereal form, shimmering like a mirage, effortlessly phasing between dimensions. Reality seemed to ripple gently around her ghostly presence as she glided through barriers no physical entity could bypass.
The Beast God’s eyes sharpened dramatically, shifting from normal irises into blade-like slits. Each eye moved independently, meticulously tracking the intricate and lightning-fast maneuvers of the Depravita and the Neo-Demon. The precision of Lucius’ observation was terrifying—he anticipated their movements with chilling certainty.
Just as Cain and Meylin closed in, ready to strike, Lucius unleashed his own move.
"ZNNNNNNNN!"
A peculiar sound echoed sharply and in that instant, all the vibrant colors of reality faded, consumed by an eerie, monochrome gray. The world felt suspended, trapped within an unnatural void, leaving both Meylin and Cain momentarily bewildered. Before their minds fully processed the strange phenomenon, Lucius was already upon them.
Somehow, impossibly, the Beast God had moved faster than their minds could perceive, appearing before them with ruthless aggression. Without hesitation or mercy, Lucius launched a savage attack targeting Meylin. His monstrous claw aimed directly for the Depravita’s head, intending to destroy her brain.
Even though such a strike wouldn’t be fatal to Meylin due to her extraordinary physique, the damage would temporarily paralyze her—a potentially fatal consequence in a battle of this magnitude.
"THUMP!"
At the brink of disaster, a heartbeat more powerful than a cataclysmic storm thundered through the void. Cain acted swiftly, his reaction nearly instantaneous, pulling Meylin behind him protectively. He then responded to Lucius’ attack with his own sword strike, the weapon blazing with raw destructive energy.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!"
A deafening explosion erupted flooding the battlefield with silver and dark energies as sword met claw. The collision rippled outward, shaking the foundations of the universe itself. Cain and Lucius stood locked in a fierce stalemate, neither warrior able to immediately overpower the other.
Surprise flickered through Cain’s eyes. His physical strength alone typically overwhelmed any Prima Deity, especially when augmented by his potent red flames and destructive aura. Yet Lucius withstood him effortlessly.
A chilling realization dawned on Cain: Lucius had somehow attained the power of a Half-Step Arch-Deity.
The thought sent alarm bells ringing in Cain’s mind. Even with the energy drained from his kingdom’s inhabitants and the improvement of Origin Power, Lucius should not have reached such a profound level of strength. Clearly, an unknown force had intervened to push Lucius far beyond his expected limits. Yet this revelation did not alter Cain’s resolve.
Meylin didn’t remain idle. Seizing the advantage created by Cain’s stalemate with Lucius, she swiftly reappeared above them. Her twin swords, Abyss and Hell, radiated with the golden brilliance of her Pride, channeling overwhelming energies from the surrounding cosmos.
In a single breath, she unleashed two devastating arcs of energy in the form of an enormous ’X,’ slicing through space as they converged mercilessly on Lucius.
The Beast God’s confident smirk faded abruptly, replaced by a deep, frustrated scowl. The realization hit him hard—Cain and Meylin posed a legitimate threat from the very beginning, placing his life in imminent danger. Unable to escape Cain’s hold, dodging Meylin’s attack seemed impossible.
But just as Meylin’s attack neared him, Lucius’ eyes flashed again, returning reality briefly to that unsettling gray void. When color returned to the world, Lucius had vanished, and Meylin’s potent arcs collided harmlessly with the empty air, ultimately slamming into the Divine Kingdom below, causing the massive structure to tremble violently.
Confusion briefly clouded Cain and Meylin’s faces. But then, Cain’s eyes widened, sensing Lucius’ menacing presence directly behind him. Lucius’ claws lunged forward with lethal intent, their edges glittering ominously.
Cain couldn’t evade. Blocking seemed equally impossible. Yet, even confronted by imminent danger, his heart held neither panic nor fear. Calmly, Cain activated one of the Unified Blood Elemental Forge’s abilities.
A magnificent force erupted from Cain’s body, forming a radiant force field of ancestral power forged from dozens of Third Realm Bloodlines. Lucius’ claws collided against this formidable defense with a resounding blast, sending shockwaves echoing through the battlefield.
Although the claws pierced the barrier, their destructive force was significantly reduced. They barely penetrated twenty centimeters into Cain’s dense flesh, failing even to breach his muscles, let alone touch bone.
Frustration flashed briefly in Lucius’ eyes—a critical mistake. That fleeting moment of rage provided Meylin the perfect opportunity. Capitalizing on Lucius’ momentary lapse, Meylin instantly teleported right behind him, her swords already blazing fiercely with lethal intent.
Lucius, caught off guard by the Depravita’s unique teleportation, desperately tried once more to invoke his mysterious gray world—but he was too slow. Meylin’s swords slammed mercilessly into Lucius’ exposed back, shredding through flesh, tearing muscle, and violently striking bone in less than a heartbeat.
Agonizing pain surged through Lucius, momentarily stunning him. But he refused to yield. Instead of retreating into the gray void again, he released a devastating gravitational pulse directly at Meylin, blasting her away violently and shattering several of her bones.
Cain was also caught in the powerful gravitational surge, nearly overwhelmed by its tremendous force. But the Neo-Demon resisted defiantly, summoning another hidden strength of his Primordial Genesis Body.
"Gravitational Suppression Field!" Cain roared defiantly, unleashing his own potent gravitational wave. The two colossal forces collided spectacularly, shaking the entire Divine Kingdom, fracturing the realm with relentless tremors. Yet Cain’s gravitational field began to falter beneath Lucius’ overpowering might.
Refusing defeat, Cain activated his ultimate physical technique—"World Breaker Limbs!" His muscles expanded dramatically, veins bulging with overwhelming power. His limbs pierced deeply into the fabric of space itself, anchoring him solidly against Lucius’ onslaught.
With unyielding resolve, Cain lifted Sky Devourer, his mighty sword. It radiated a terrifying intensity as Cain channeled every ounce of his strength into the strike. The blade gleamed ominously, poised to deliver a blow strong enough to shatter worlds.
