The True Way to Use Divine Equipment

A yellow figure and a silver figure collided at high speed on the streets of Washington.

When Abomination's bulging, vein-covered right fist collided with the Dark Gold Round Shield Xi Nian raised in his hand, the American soldier watching the battle from a rooftop behind a building witnessed a horrifying scene he would likely never forget for the rest of his life.

At the very instant fist met shield, the air froze, and half the street lost all sound!

The silence was so absolute that they could hear their own heartbeats and breathing, causing the survivors to unconsciously hold their breath.

The next instant.

Centered on the green monster and the Silver-Haired Boy, a terrifying translucent shockwave swept outward. The ground beneath them was instantly stripped of a layer, while the already battered streetlights, windows, car windshields, and glass doors along the street were completely blasted to pieces!

It was like a modern missile had detonated on the spot, or a meteor had fallen from the sky!

Even from nearly thirty meters away, the American soldier was blown back by the aftershock. His ears rang incessantly as his body was hurled into a living room, and the immense wind pressure pinned him down, leaving him unable to rise!

And this was only the beginning of the battle!

Abomination's fist remained pressed against the Dark Gold Round Shield, continuously exerting force. A hazy Divine Light Energy glowed across the shield's surface, blocking much of the force and impact. Yet even the small portion that remained shattered the ground beneath Xi Nian's feet!

Xi Nian used the shield to withstand Abomination's punch. His peripheral vision swept past Abomination's arm and landed on the longsword stuck diagonally into the ground behind it.

Without the Retro Longsword, he could not even break through Abomination's surface defenses.

That was also why Xi Nian had chosen to take the initiative.

Bracing the Dark Gold Round Shield, he did not retreat a single step. He wanted to slip past Abomination and reclaim the Retro Longsword.

Abomination seemed to know Xi Nian's intentions. It grinned viciously and brought its other fist crashing down from above, giving him no chance to escape!

Bang!!

The cracked road beneath them, already covered in spiderweb-like fissures, was the first to collapse under the pressure, forming a round crater half a meter deep.

Xi Nian stood at the center of the crater, his combat boots deeply embedded in the ground. Even facing this unprecedented danger, he stood tall with his head raised, both hands firmly holding up the Dark Gold Round Shield.

Just this afternoon, he had still been nothing more than an ordinary middle school student.

Yet Xi Nian was so calm now that even he found it unbelievable!

Perhaps inheriting the divinity within his aunt's abilities had made his emotions, once those of an ordinary human, become transparent.

Or perhaps he was simply born for battle!

While using the shield to endure Abomination's frenzied blows, Xi Nian rapidly considered countermeasures in his mind.

Other than the longsword, what else on him could serve as a weapon?

Right!

Xi Nian suddenly thought of something.

At that moment, Abomination abruptly released its fist and instead grabbed the Dark Gold Round Shield, while its other hand hammered toward Xi Nian's head from the side!

Xi Nian did not hesitate any longer. His right hand immediately let go of the shield and raised his arm alone as a shield!

The massive green fist slammed into the back of Xi Nian's hand. No—more precisely, it struck the Silver Bracelet around his wrist!

Buzz!

A surging silver energy erupted from the bracelet, forcefully neutralizing Abomination's punch as well!

"I knew it!" Xi Nian cried in delight.

Being covered in divine equipment really was no joke!

When its attack failed, Abomination suddenly thrust its head forward with savage force. Like a giant green hammer, it blasted Xi Nian and his shield fifty meters away.

His body skipped across the ground several times before he slammed into a car door, causing the entire vehicle to cave inward in an exaggerated deformation.

"That was too close. So the coronet isn't defensive equipment?" Xi Nian nearly lost his breath. Lying flat atop the completely wrecked car, he felt a burning pain on his forehead and simply removed the Silver Coronet from his head.

The Silver Coronet did not bear even the slightest damage. Its engraved patterns were intricate and luxurious, but as defensive equipment, it seemed a little too weak—compared to the round shield and bracelet, which came with Divine Power protection.

But as Xi Nian looked at the Silver Coronet in his hand, he soon froze. Why did this coronet resemble some sort of ranged weapon?

"Could it be..."

Xi Nian thought of a possibility. Holding the Silver Coronet, he rose to his feet, looked up at the pursuing Abomination, and suddenly hurled the coronet forward with all his strength!

If Aunt finds out, she won't hit me, will she?

That thought flashed through Xi Nian's mind.

Swoosh!

The coronet streaking through the night Blinked, transforming into a tiny silver gleam too subtle to perceive!

Abomination, charging forward, abruptly halted. A spray of blood burst from its left eye, while the Silver Coronet curved around its body from behind, spun once, and flew back into Xi Nian's hand.

Looking at the silver crown in his hand, still unstained by even a trace of blood and as magnificent as ever, Xi Nian felt a chill run down his spine.

Who could have imagined it?

The Silver Coronet, which appeared to be the most elegant and noble, was also the most unpredictable hidden weapon!

Or rather, this was the true way to use Divine Equipment!

After its right eye had become a bloody hole of flesh, its left eye now bore a distinct wound as well. Abomination could not accept what had happened. It opened its one blood-filled, cracked eye wide, its bloated body howling with the wind as it lunged madly at Xi Nian without regard for anything else!

Abomination's rapidly approaching figure was reflected in Xi Nian's silver eyes. Without hesitation, he swiftly raised his left arm, with the bracelet on it, in front of himself. Feeling that this was not reliable enough, he raised his right hand as well.

What Xi Nian did not expect was that when he crossed his hands in front of himself, the bracelets clasped around his wrists collided.

It was as though this triggered some unique mechanism.

The bracelets on his left and right hands clashed with a clear chime. In that brief instant, Xi Nian felt the Divine Power in his body burn and evaporate, gathering at the point where his wrists crossed!

Buzz!!

An enormous unknown energy exploded just in front of Xi Nian, yet it caused no harm whatsoever to his body. Everything around him, including the dust, as well as Abomination charging at him, was blasted away by this devastating energy!

Bang! Bang! Bang—

The flying Abomination crashed into a building behind it, tore through the building, and flew out through its rear, continuing on into a second building farther behind!

Finally, it struck the outer wall of a third building. As its body came to a stop, Abomination was furious and so frustrated it wanted to cough up blood!

Could anyone imagine it?

Just when it had finally reached level one hundred and thought itself invincible in this world, a level-seventy brat had provoked it. When it tried to grind its opponent into the ground, that opponent revealed an entire set of max-level Divine Equipment!
