Chapter 1104 Level 5 vs. Level 5
He grinned, revealing crystal fangs, and pointed to the defensive line below, which was being fiercely attacked but remained steadfast.
"Look at this setup, the troops are ridiculously numerous and very united, plus this alchemical foundation..."
"Tsk tsk, no wonder they threw all five of us over here in one go, and they were all tough nut to crack. The civilization of this world truly deserves this level of 'lavish burial'."
The King of Resistance's smooth, crystal-clear face remained unmoved, as if the Ape of Destruction's assessment was merely a passing breeze.
His invisible "vision" pierced through the chaotic energy field, locking firmly onto the "iron flower" structures floating above the Sighing Barrier, slowly rotating like giant metal flowers.
That was essentially a miniature projection of divine power.
"Those things..."
The King of Resistance's cold, metallic voice resounded directly, carrying an unprecedented solemnity.
"The rules that operate within... are very unfamiliar. They are not any known in the astral plane. They are a unique product of this world, new rules that have not yet spread outwards."
As a supreme being who once touched the gates of divinity and almost ignited the divine fire, his sensitivity to rules far surpasses that of other apocalyptic beings.
"Huh? New rules?"
The giant eyes of the Destruction Ape narrowed as it looked at the "iron flowers" with interest. It had sensed something unusual before, but had not investigated it further.
"Perhaps this is the world's 'trump card'? If it weren't special, it wouldn't be worth all five of us coming."
"not only that."
The King of Resistance's voice grew even colder, "Within there... emanates divine power. A powerful divine power, deeply intertwined with the rules."
"Divine power?!"
The Ape of Destruction slammed its giant paw down on the ground, causing a small tremor.
"Under these circumstances, would the gods dare to intervene directly? Aren't they afraid of attracting the 'giants' from the void? That would only make the destruction come faster and more thoroughly!"
"It's not direct intervention."
The King of Resistance corrected, saying that his perception was like the most precise probe.
"That divine power is contained within; it forms the foundation and driving force of this new set of rules. It is cleverly integrated into the underlying rules of the world itself, becoming part of the 'world phenomenon'."
"This completely circumvents the judgment of 'direct divine intervention in the war.' The Void Will will only regard it as a 'characteristic' of this world's tenacious resistance, rather than an invasion of external divine power."
He paused, a hint of inquiry seeming to creep into his cold, detached voice.
"The leader of this world, who can grasp the 'rule boundaries' of the void so precisely and use the rules of the world itself to carry divine power, is not only a god, but also an being who understands the logic of the void's operation extremely well."
"what!"
The Ape of Destruction let out a low, enigmatic growl, its enormous purple eyes glancing at the King of Resistance beside it with a hint of amusement.
"New rules again, knowledgeable gods again, alchemical civilization combined with an ironclad life force..."
"With so many advantages piled up together, the progress of the Void can only follow the progress of the Devouring." His words seemed to carry an indescribable, almost gloating expectation.
However, the King of Resistance remains as unchanging as an iceberg.
His smooth, crystal-clear face reflected the intense energy flashes of the distant battlefield, expressionless, and offering no response to the Ape of Destruction's lament.
Only the bone-spiked crown emitted an even more profound and chilling purple light amidst the surging void energy.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the battlefield before him, landing on a more distant place, the core that radiated unique divine power and fluctuations of rules—the City of the Ring Tower.
He could sense it.
In that faraway place, there exists something that is impossible to break.
Perhaps it was because of the existence of that thing that they sent down five powerful apocalypses.
……
On the battlefield, torrents of energy surged like raging waves.
Areris, Lelia, and Apis were like three bolts of lightning of different colors, relentlessly attacking the tall, grey-purple figure of the Rift Queen.
The giant skeletal shield, wreathed in pale soul fire, charged forward with ferocity; the crimson spear tore through the air with a piercing shriek; and invisible whispers of blasphemy coiled and eroded like venomous snakes.
However, the Cracked Queen, who was at the center of the storm, moved with a chilling composure.
With a flick of her amethyst-veined hands, she easily tore through space.
He deflected and veered away Lelia's ferocious attack, and refracted and devoured Areris's deadly blood spear. Deep within his cold, purple-flaming eyes, he seemed to be calmly analyzing the energy composition, the application of rules, and even the rhythm of the three's cooperation in each attack.
She is fighting, but she is also "reading".
Read about the forces of resistance in this world, and read about how this unprecedented set of "data-driven" rules works.
For these legendary powerhouses who stand before the divine gate...
They can see the differences and discord in the rules at a glance.
Not to mention, everywhere you look, these unprecedented rules are in effect.
It can also be combined with almost all rules and activated at its underlying level.
Such a rule is unimaginable.
So naturally she had to take it slow, analyzing it bit by bit.
The legendary warriors on the city wall felt a chill in their hearts.
They could tell that this Apocalypse wasn't incapable of ending the battle faster; she was deliberately delaying and greedily absorbing intelligence.
Areris and her two companions are already among the most powerful forces in the Alliance, reaching the peak of level fourteen. To have achieved such a height in just thirty or forty years is truly astonishing even in the vast astral realm.
Data has accelerated their growth, but every step after becoming a legend requires a deep understanding of the essence of the rules, and cannot be achieved simply by accumulating energy.
They had already touched the limits of the mortal realm, but level fifteen, and the vast divine realm beyond the gates of the gods, were still unattainable stars for them.
Unlike Kana, that monstrous being, who could ignite divine fire at an unbelievable speed, they were not like that.
They are geniuses, yet they are also trapped by the constraints of the mundane world.
Just then, a golden streak of light, tearing through the sky and accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, descended upon the heart of the battlefield at a speed beyond comprehension.
The light was so dazzling, containing an overwhelming dragon's might and precise alchemical rules.
A glint flashed in the eyes of Alyris and the other two, and they did not hesitate at all.
Leilia's skeletal shield slammed forward, using the momentum to retreat.
Apis's whisper abruptly ended.
Alyris then transformed into a streak of blood and retreated swiftly.
The three worked in perfect unison, instantly disengaging from the battle and falling back to the top of the Wailing Wall like shooting stars, completely relinquishing the battlefield.
The Rift Queen did not pursue.
Her smooth, cracked "face" lifted slightly, and for the first time, her cold, purple eyes revealed a clear seriousness as she locked onto the dazzling stream of light that descended from the sky.
She could clearly sense that the energy level contained within this stream of light was completely on the same level as her own—the peak of the fifteenth-level legendary realm. A true opponent who could pose a threat to her.
As the light faded, it revealed Bugret's awe-inspiring alchemical dragon body.
Its massive body, composed of mithril and arcane alloy, shimmered with a liquid-like luster, and its internal energy circuits were like a living galaxy, dazzling and brilliant.
This is not a body of flesh and blood, yet it exudes a vitality and aura of rule that is even more powerful than that of the ancient dragon race.
"Ah……"
A cold, mocking laugh, like countless shards of glass rubbing together, rang directly in Bugret's mind.
The Crack Queen's gray-purple figure hovered, her posture still elegant, yet carrying a condescending scrutiny and... pity?
"A radiant dragon that should have soared through the stars is now imprisoned in this alchemical cage built by mortal ants, becoming their weapon against the void?"
Her mental fluctuations were filled with undisguised sarcasm: "Having lost the wings of a dragon soaring freely, having lost the glory of basking in the starlight, all that's left is this cold metal shell... What a pathetic and laughable existence."
Burghert's enormous, intricately crystal-like dragon eye blinked, as if momentarily stunned.
Immediately afterwards, an even louder, more unrestrained, and unbelievable dragon roar exploded forth.
"Ha! What kind of stinky void fart are you spewing, you ugly monster with a cracked face?!"
The alchemical dragon's massive body was instantly reconstructed and compressed in the blinding light.
The streamlined dragon body disappeared, replaced by a terrifying dragon-human battle body that was over ten meters tall, half dragon and half machine.
The giant claw, covered in golden metallic scales, suddenly plunged into its own chest cavity, which was shimmering with energy.
With a tooth-grinding metallic friction and an energy hum, a giant light blade, composed entirely of highly compressed golden-white energy and with spatial cutting ripples flowing along its edges, was forcibly "pulled out".
"A cage? Sorrow? You don't know anything!"
Bugret's voice boomed out like thunder through the amplification device of the battle suit, filled with fanatical pride and extreme contempt for the opponent's "ignorance".
"Open your eyes, those fiery purple holes, and take a good look! This is the supreme battle body that Kana personally crafted for me!"
"It's the ultimate masterpiece that combines divine wisdom with astral treasures! Freedom? I can fly whenever I want, and transform whenever I want! This body is ten thousand times stronger than my old, tattered skin!"
Biglett had been quite proud of his alchemical dragon body for a long time.
The country bumpkin in front of me actually said that this was some kind of junk, that he had no taste.
Before the words were finished, the void beneath the dragon-man's body exploded.
Burgret transformed into a golden comet that tore through space, its massive energy blade trailing a destructive wake as it slashed down at the Rift Queen.
Its speed and power far exceeded the combined attack of Alyris and her two companions!
"clang--!!!"
The Cracked Queen's amethyst-covered claws crossed in a lightning-fast parry, colliding fiercely with the energy blade.
The ear-piercing clang of metal against metal transformed into tangible sound waves, instantly pulverizing the low-level void creatures within a radius of hundreds of meters below.
The violent energy shockwave spread in all directions like a tsunami, causing the sturdy walls of the Sighing Barrier to tremble violently, and the affected areas were instantly cleared.
The combat level skyrocketed instantly.
The clash between two level-15 beings transformed this space into an absolute death zone.
The Rift Queen was shaken by the violent attack, and a tiny crack appeared on the amethyst armor on her claws.
Her eyes blazed with purple flames, and her mental fluctuations carried a deeper malice and a hint of offended anger.
"Like it? Even a trapped soul has learned to deceive itself?"
"Pathetic creatures! Enslaved without even realizing it, a disgrace to the Astral Dragons! I'm starting to admire the life in this world. They use this cold cage to ensure that you traitors can never rise again. What a... wonderful punishment!"
Astral dragons are able to roam the stars and discern the potential of a world.
Therefore, they will settle in some new worlds and become a part of that world.
While helping the world grow, we also gain what we want from it.
Therefore, the astral dragons are very well-known.
But it is also because of their heritage that they are able to know whether their world is being watched the moment the void shifts.
Once they are being targeted, they will not hesitate to begin their evacuation plan.
This news will come before the world itself.
Therefore, when the world is destroyed, most of the astral dragons will evacuate unless there is an accident.
For the original life forms of that world, this was undoubtedly an act of betrayal.
unfortunately.
In the world of the Rift Queen, there once lived a group of astral dragons who were considered traitors.
As she spoke, her figure flickered like a ghost, dodging Bugret's subsequent sweeping attack. With a backhand swipe, five purplish-black cracks that tore through space lashed out at the joints of the dragonman's body like venomous snakes.
"You ugly freak spouting nonsense!"
Burgret roared, his dragon-man body displaying incredible flexibility and speed.
With an extreme twist that defies the laws of physics, the energy blade dances into a golden storm, precisely slicing through the incoming spatial rift.
"Betrayal? I can leave whenever I want! But I love staying here! I love using this body!"
"Kana made this for me, I can enhance it however I want! You piece of junk, your brain eaten away by the Void, do you even have the right to comment on my body? You ignorant bumpkin! You deserve to have your world crushed to dust!"
Astral dragons are dragons, and they are all proud beings.
This clueless guy in front of me is babbling on and on, and he's so arrogant. It's infuriating to listen to him.
Bougret's words struck at the deepest wound in the Cracked Queen's heart.
The icy purple flames instantly transformed into raging inferno.
"court death!"
The Rift Queen was completely enraged; her elegance vanished, and her attacks instantly became ferocious and deadly.
Her figure left countless afterimages in the space, and each swing of her amethyst claws carried the power to tear apart the rules. The space around her was like a fragile canvas, constantly breaking and rebuilding.
She no longer held back in her probing, each move aimed directly at the Bugret energy core and the transformation hub.
However, Biglett's fighting style is wilder and more unpredictable.
The dragon-human battle body sometimes clashed head-on, relying on the terrifying defensive power enhanced by god-level materials and rules to withstand the spatial cutting.
Sometimes it transforms instantly, with parts of its body becoming streamlined fighter jet structures, escaping the attack range at incredible speeds and spewing out devastating arcane dragon breath from tricky angles.
At times, the structure partially reorganizes, and the arm transforms into a giant drill or chainsaw, launching a counterattack with the force to tear everything apart.
The alchemical rules at the level of gods and the silver creation rules were perfectly integrated into this body, giving it a solidity and versatility beyond mortal imagination.
The Rift Queen's spatial cuts could easily tear apart legendary weapons. When they landed on Bugret's battle body, they would often only leave deep marks, which were quickly repaired by the flowing, liquid metal-like energy circuits.
Each counterattack from Bugret, imbued with the power of rules, forced the Rift Queen to respond with all her might, causing the cracks on her amethyst armor to slowly widen. (End of Chapter)
