Six-armed Asura had barely broken free from the uncontrollable restraint on its body with its powerful physique when a fierce gust of wind suddenly swept in from the empty space ahead. With no time to react, it raised two greatswords and crossed them in front of its chest to block!

After a metallic clang, Six-armed Asura was sent skidding backward, its long tail whipping continuously to keep its balance.

At that moment, a warning flared in its mind. It hastily raised a spear with one of its middle hands to block, only to hit nothing. It could not see its opponent at all; it merely felt pain at its waist and ribs, where a long gash appeared and blood sprayed wildly!

Six-armed Asura immediately steadied itself. Its bottom two hands swung their greatswords in an impenetrable blur, while one of its middle hands passed the spear to an upper hand and pressed directly against the bleeding wound. Before long, the wound began to heal.

"Charge! Take my sword!" A slightly childish girl's voice came from the void. Accompanied by a dull bang, Six-armed Asura felt the arms wielding its greatswords go numb from the shock. Just as it roughly pinpointed its opponent's position and prepared to thrust its spear, Wei Zitong's second Immobilization Technique arrived!

"Mengmeng is still too young!" Hearing Rui Mengmeng's spirited shout, Lena shook her head with a mature air. "Watch me. Fall back!"

As she spoke, she directly summoned a Micro Solar Flare and hurled it at the immobile Six-armed Asura!

With a thunderous boom, flames shot into the sky!

Yet when the smoke cleared, there was no sign of Six-armed Asura. Lena blinked her beautiful eyes suspiciously and asked uncertainly, "Did... did I blow it up?"

Wei Zitong was about to say something when Zhao Xin suddenly shouted, "Watch out!" He abruptly increased his Gene Engine's Core Computing Speed and enhanced his dynamic vision, discovering a charred figure diving down from high above at a speed too fast for the naked eye to catch. Two hands held a gun, while another prepared to throw a spear. Every target was Lena!

"Don't move!" Wei Zitong hurriedly shouted at the charred figure in midair. He had discovered that this so-called Six-armed Asura possessed powerful resistance to purely non-contact superpowers. The first time he used Immobilization Technique on it, it had lasted three or four seconds. The second time, only one or two. This time, he had no idea how long it would last...

Lena also noticed Six-armed Asura. While raising her shield to block, she fired several Super Micro Radiation-Free Solar Flare Bombardments in succession, only barely knocking Six-armed Asura slightly off its high-speed trajectory...

After a dull clash of metal, a terrifying shockwave followed, directly shattering the ground beneath the ruined gun platform where Lena stood!

Lena dropped to one knee, blood once again spilling from between her clenched silver teeth. But she refused to yield, swinging the Sword of Dawn and fiercely thrusting it at Six-armed Asura!

Six-armed Asura easily knocked aside the Sword of Dawn. Its middle two spear-wielding hands tossed the spear shafts upward, then caught them in reverse grips and prepared to stab down viciously. But it unexpectedly suffered Wei Zitong's Immobilization Technique for the fourth time, its body slowing for an instant.

At that critical moment, Lena erupted!

She released a Micro Solar Flare directly where she stood, blasting herself away while also sending Six-armed Asura flying backward!

Using Negate: Distance's Teleportation Ability, Wei Zitong appeared behind Lena again and caught her. At the same time, he used his last bit of energy to cast an Immense Strength buff on the now-visible Zhao Xin!

Zhao Xin instantly felt explosive power flood his entire body. He pushed off the ground and shot toward the retreating Six-armed Asura like a cannonball!

Six-armed Asura had taken a Micro Solar Flare head-on and was already covered in wounds. Three of its six arms had vanished somewhere. Only its upper two gun-holding arms and one spear-holding arm, which had been drawn back for a powerful thrust, remained mostly intact. It had become an utterly miserable "three-armed" Asura...

Seeing Zhao Xin charge in with tremendous speed, Asura hesitated only briefly before directly using its heavy sniper rifle to block. Its condition was terrible. It was not confident that one hand could stop Zhao Xin, and with the situation so urgent, it had no time to transfer the spear to its upper two hands!

A violent bang exploded in midair. Asura and Zhao Xin crossed paths, the sniper rifle was knocked flying, and Zhao Xin's spear tore a huge, bloody gash through both of its arms and most of its chest!

Yet it did not make a sound. Instead, it raised its spear with its only free hand, preparing to thrust it out and kill Zhao Xin in midair—the only enemy who could match it in speed—in that split second!

But in the end, it was outnumbered. Since its warning system had yet to recover, its other warriors could not catch sight of their opponents at all, leaving their fire support limited...

And the one who foiled its aerial counterkill was Wei Zitong—or rather, Wei Zitong's Immobilization Technique!

Although the technique could no longer have any substantial effect on it, at the supersonic relative speeds of it and Zhao Xin, even a moment of hesitation meant losing the best chance to attack!

A vicious gleam surged in Asura's eyes. It turned and glared fiercely at Wei Zitong, who had revealed himself while holding Lena. The moment it landed, it made a sharp turn and pounced toward Wei Zitong and Lena!

"Good!" Lena shouted, a Micro Solar Flare compressed to its absolute limit already gathered in her hand. "Hold it in place!"

Wei Zitong did not answer immediately. Asura's figure rapidly expanded in his pupils. Just as that terrifyingly massive body nearly filled his entire vision, he roared, "Fire!"

Lena immediately understood. The compressed Micro Solar Flare flew straight from her hand!

Asura had suffered from this move twice. If Lena had been alone, it would not have rushed in so recklessly. But Lena was being held by another enemy, seeming unwilling to come down, and it made its calculations.

When it had first leaped, it had been extremely wary of the Micro Solar Flare in Lena's hand, ready at any moment to forcibly twist its body with a swing of its tail. But once it got close, that vigilance almost completely vanished...

What it never expected was that even with an ally beside her, that red-robed female war god suspected of being the Sun of Light would still release a Micro Solar Flare—and that the command to unleash the Solar Flare Bombardment had actually come from her ally!

At that moment, Wei Zitong once again exhausted the overflowing energy within his body and teleported several hundred meters away while holding Lena!

With perfect coordination, Lena pressed an Energy Orb into Wei Zitong's chest, her little hand even stroking it a few times.

Wei Zitong's mouth twitched, but his gaze remained fixed on the flames from the Micro Solar Flare explosion as his mind rapidly calculated the possible directions Asura might flee...

He did not dare underestimate any powerful alien lifeform appearing in the Super God Universe. Judging by the battle so far, this Asura's Combat Power could rival that of a Third Generation Super Soldier, and in some aspects it was even stronger, because this monster could wield God-Slaying Power!

Perhaps, on the original battlefield of the Strongest Defense Position, the reason the enemy had suffered dozens of times more casualties and still failed to capture this position was not the traps and powerful firepower, but this terrifying God-Slaying monster!

Suddenly, every thought in Wei Zitong's mind came to an abrupt halt. He turned to look at a patch of ruins that had not been heavily affected by the Solar Flare Bombardment!

Soon, dirt and broken stones shifted, and a battered gigantic figure swayed as it stood up!

"It's not dead? So strong!" Rui Mengmeng, who had already revealed herself, exclaimed as she picked up one of Asura's greatswords and gave it a swing. "Brother Zi Tong, can this kill it?"

"No!" Wei Zitong and Lena shook their heads at the same time.

"Huh? Why?" Rui Mengmeng did not notice how perfectly in sync their answers had been. She simply asked.

"Because none of us here can wield God-Slaying Power," Wei Zitong said. "Without the ability to wield God-Slaying Power, this weapon is just a relatively high-end weapon..."

"Besides, God-Slaying Weapons are useless against Asura!" Lena added. "It isn't a Super Gene Warrior and has no Gene Engine to activate the Super Gene in its body. The effect God-Slaying Weapons have of breaking down Super Genes does nothing to them. They are simply powerful combat organisms!"

"Oh!" Rui Mengmeng humbly accepted the lesson. Then she swung the greatsword in her hand again and said regretfully, "Such a good weapon. Too bad we can't take it out. Otherwise, it would probably suit Brother Chuang!"

"Enough regretting it," Wei Zitong said. "Our top priority is to see how much Combat Powe—"

Before he could finish the word "power," Zhao Xin, positioned behind Asura, dashed forward and thrust his spear into Asura's chest.

"Fine, I suppose it's not bad to keep regretting it a little longer!" Wei Zitong said with a wry smile.
