Have They Won? Entering Phase Two!

Xiao's body was locked in a tug-of-war with the laws of physics.

The speed he took such pride in had become a viscous burden here.

Every inch he moved forward required a thousand times, perhaps even more, the strength it normally would.

The surrounding air, light, and space had all become invisible walls, pinning him firmly in place.

Flash Shadow's divinity roared madly within him, yet it could not effectively transmit its power.

He felt like a race car welded to the ground—possessing overwhelming power, yet unable to move an inch.

"Struggling is futile."

Annihilation God's voice echoed in everyone's mind, calm and utterly devoid of emotion.

"In my divine kingdom, the concept of 'motion' does not exist. Everything you rely on, whether the flow of magical energy or the brute force of the flesh, is founded upon motion. Here, all of it shall return to nothingness."

His words were the harshest verdict upon Di Jia Ling Yu and Song Ling.

The frozen tidal wave suspended in midair and the Destruction Ice Spear hovering before her brow silently confirmed his proclamation.

Their strongest attacks had become trophies that displayed the other party's Divine Might, a ridiculous decoration.

Di Jia Ling Yu's fingers around Frost Blade turned white from exertion.

She could clearly sense that her laws of ice had not been dispersed or destroyed. They had merely been "shut down."

A command from a higher dimension had forcibly halted all of their activity.

This was pure, conceptual suppression.

Just as helplessness began to spread through everyone, Jing, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly moved.

She neither attacked nor defended.

She merely raised her hand and gently pointed at Song Ling's Doomsday Ice Spear, frozen in midair a hundred meters away.

Silver spatial ripples spread from her fingertips.

The next moment, an identical dark ice spear appeared out of thin air behind Annihilation God.

It did not fly. There was no energy trail. Like a three-dimensional model printed out of nowhere, it carried the exact same destructive aura of Ice Hell as the original, its tip aimed directly at the back of Annihilation God's head.

Mirror Flower Water Moon.

What it replicated was not energy, but existence itself.

For the first time, Annihilation God's eternal, unchanging posture stiffened ever so slightly.

His Stasis Divine Domain could halt all objects in motion.

But this spear had not moved.

It had simply appeared there.

That lay beyond the jurisdiction of his divine authority.

He had to divert part of his attention and apply the power of stasis to the replica behind him as well.

"Now!"

Ji Xing's voice sounded through the team channel, calm and precise as she seized that fleeting ten-thousandth of a second.

"The law field has fluctuated by 0.013%. Target lock has developed redundancy! Xiao!"

He needed no reminder.

The instant Annihilation God was distracted, the invisible mountain pressing down on Xiao loosened slightly.

It was enough!

Xiao did not attempt to Charge again.

He abandoned all superfluous movements and gathered all the Flash Shadow divine power within him, which had accumulated to its limit from having nowhere to vent, onto the Mekong Jaw Blade in his right hand.

He did not swing the blade. He merely aimed its tip at the figure atop the spire.

Then, he detonated it.

Boom—!

An inaudible explosion erupted throughout the entire divine kingdom.

It was neither an energy shockwave nor a physical explosion.

It was speed itself, forcibly unleashed from a single point.

Centered on Xiao, the space around him was brutally torn apart, shattered, and then completely erased by an indescribable force.

The Kinetic Energy forcibly suppressed by the law of stasis transformed at that moment into the purest power of annihilation, forming a fan-shaped zone of destruction that instantly swallowed everything ahead.

Annihilation God's proud Stasis Divine Domain let out a strained wail before this unreasonable, pure concept.

Crack...

A crisp shattering sound rang through the deathly silent world.

The frozen tidal wave resumed its motion.

The suspended Doomsday Ice Spear regained its killing intent.

Freed from the suppression of the Stasis Divine Domain, the two destructive forces that had been building for so long were instantly unleashed, striking the top of the spire with perfect precision from opposite sides.

Icy blue absolute cold intertwined with pitch-black infernal power, becoming an energy storm that swept across heaven and earth.

The spire began to collapse amid violent tremors.

Upon the throne, Annihilation God's figure began to slowly dissipate within the storm.

"Did... did we win?" De Ba De's voice in the channel was filled with disbelief.

From being completely suppressed to turning the tables in an instant, the entire process had happened too quickly for anyone to react.

Di Jia Ling Yu and Song Ling watched as their power finally struck the target. Both of them let out a breath of relief, but there was not the slightest joy on their faces.

They understood that in this battle, they had merely provided the ammunition. The ones who had truly fired the shot were that brother and sister.

Yet Qin Chuan, in the Command Center, frowned.

"Something's wrong."

On the battlefield, Annihilation God, who was about to dissipate, suddenly gave a soft laugh.

There was no resentment or unwillingness in that laugh. Instead, it held a kind of... fulfilled satisfaction.

"So that's how it is... so that's how it is..."

His body did not turn to ash. Instead, it became a strange, semi-transparent substance that was neither ice nor crystal, exactly like the material that made up the spire.

"My Ultimate Silence was never destruction."

His voice became ethereal and majestic, as though it had fused with the entire divine kingdom.

"It was... an eternal seal."

The instant his words fell, a sudden change occurred.

The ground beneath their feet, the surrounding air, the collapsing spire, even the raging energy storm, all began transforming into that semi-transparent crystal at an astonishing speed.

The entire world was becoming a colossal piece of amber on the level of laws.

Everyone felt their bodies sink as an irresistible force of solidification surged in from all directions, intent on sealing them here forever.

"Get out!"

Xiao roared, trying to activate Flash Shadow again, only to find that his divinity seemed to have been filled with cement, becoming incomparably heavy.

Jing's Mirror Flower Water Moon also lost its effect. Space itself was being "crystallized," leaving no gaps through which to shift.

Ji Xing operated frantically in the Command Center, trying to open a Space Gate, but a blood-red warning flashed across the screen.

The target area's spatial dimension is solidifying. Unable to establish a stable channel!

The crystal formed from Annihilation God's divine kingdom was stripping Peak Squad, along with this entire space, out of the universe, turning them into an eternal specimen isolated from the world.

The crystallization spread with incredible speed and had already reached everyone's ankles.

Just when everyone was at a loss, En En Shixiong, who had been standing silently in the rear, slowly raised his head.

He looked at the world being completely sealed and gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"A sword is used to cut things apart."

He murmured softly, then drew his sword.
