The Six-armed Asura, having finally broken free from the body-controlling restraints with its powerful physique, was surprised by a fierce gust of wind from the seemingly empty space ahead. Before it could react, it instinctively raised its two greatswords in a cross-guard in front of its chest!

With a clang of metal on metal, the Six-armed Asura was sent flying backward, its long tail whipping back and forth to maintain its balance.

Just then, a sudden sense of danger washed over it. It quickly raised a spear with one of its middle hands to block, but it was a complete miss. It couldn't see its opponent at all, only feeling a sharp pain in its waist and ribs, followed by a long gash from which blood spurted wildly!

The Six-armed Asura immediately stabilized itself. Its two bottommost hands wielded the greatswords in a tight, impenetrable defense. The middle hand passed the spear to the upper hand, then covered the bleeding wound. In a short while, the wound began to heal.

"Charge! Take my sword!" a slightly immature female voice came from nowhere, accompanied by a dull thud. The Six-armed Asura felt its sword-wielding arms go numb from the impact. Just as it was about to pinpoint the enemy's location and thrust its spear, Wei Zitong's "Immobilization Technique" struck again!

"Mengmeng is still too young!" Lena shook her head with an air of maturity upon hearing Rui Mengmeng's spirited shout. "Watch this! Retreat!"

With that, she summoned a miniature Solar Flare Bombardment and hurled it at the immobilized Six-armed Asura!

A deafening roar erupted, and flames soared into the sky!

However, as the smoke and dust cleared, the Six-armed Asura was nowhere to be seen. Lena blinked her beautiful eyes suspiciously and asked uncertainly, "Did it... did it blow up?"

Just as Wei Zitong was about to say something, Zhao Xin's roar of "Careful!" echoed. He rapidly increased his engine's core processing speed, enhancing his dynamic visual acuity. He spotted a charred figure descending from high above at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow. It held guns in two hands, with one hand preparing to throw a spear, all aimed directly at Lena!

"You're not allowed to move!" Wei Zitong yelled at the charred figure in mid-air. He realized that this so-called "Six-armed Asura" had a strong immune system against purely non-contact superpowers. The first time he used "Immobilization Technique" on it, it lasted three to four seconds; the second time, only one to two seconds. He wondered how long it would last this time...

Lena also noticed the Six-armed Asura. While raising her shield to block, she fired several ultra-miniature, radiation-free Solar Flare Bombardments, which managed to slightly deflect the Six-armed Asura from its rapid descent...

After a series of dull clangs of metal, a terrifying shockwave followed, shattering the ground of the ruined turret where Lena stood!

Lena knelt on one knee, blood seeping from her gritted teeth, but she refused to yield. She swung the Sword of Dawn and fiercely thrust it at the Six-armed Asura!

The Six-armed Asura effortlessly parried the Sword of Dawn's attack with its sword. The two middle hands holding spears tossed the spear shafts upward, then gripped them in reverse, ready to stab down fiercely. However, it was hit by Wei Zitong's "Immobilization Technique" for the fourth time, causing a momentary delay.

In that critical instant, Lena erupted!

She unleashed a miniature Solar Flare Bombardment right where she stood, blasting herself away while also sending the Six-armed Asura flying backward!

Wei Zitong utilized his teleportation ability, which defied distance, to reappear behind Lena and catch her. Simultaneously, he used his last bit of energy to cast an "Immense Strength" buff on the now visible Zhao Xin!

Zhao Xin immediately felt an explosive power surge through him. With a stomp of his foot, he shot forward like a cannonball towards the Six-armed Asura, which was still flying backward!

The Six-armed Asura had taken a direct hit from a miniature Solar Flare Bombardment, its body already covered in wounds. Three of its six arms were gone, leaving only the two uppermost arms holding guns and one arm holding a spear, which was in a backward-charging stance, relatively intact. It had become a disheveled "three-armed" Asura...

Seeing Zhao Xin's swift approach, the Asura hesitated for a moment before directly using its heavy sniper rifle to block. Its current condition was terrible; it wasn't confident it could block Zhao Xin with one hand, and in the urgent situation, it didn't have time to switch the spear to its upper hands!

A loud explosion rocked the air. The Asura and Zhao Xin passed each other, the sniper rifle was knocked away, and its two arms and more than half of its chest were ripped open by Zhao Xin's spear, leaving a gaping, bloody wound!

Yet, it remained silent. Instead, it used its only free hand to raise its spear, preparing to thrust, intending to kill Zhao Xin, the only enemy comparable in speed, in mid-air during this lightning-fast moment!

But ultimately, it was alone and outnumbered. Due to its warning system still not being restored, its allies couldn't track the opponent's movements, limiting its firepower support...

What caused this mid-air counter-kill to fail was Wei Zitong, or rather, Wei Zitong's "Immobilization Technique"!

Although it no longer had a substantial effect on the Asura by now, for opponents moving at supersonic relative speeds like the Asura and Zhao Xin, even a momentary hesitation would mean losing the optimal attack window!

The Asura's eyes flashed with fierce light. It turned and glared fiercely at Wei Zitong, who had revealed himself while holding Lena. As soon as it landed, it made a swift turn and lunged at Wei Zitong and Lena!

"Come on!" Lena shouted, a miniature Solar Flare compressed to its absolute limit gathering in her hand. "Control it!"

Wei Zitong didn't respond immediately. The Asura's figure rapidly enlarged in his pupils. Just as its terrifying, massive form almost completely filled his vision, he roared, "Release!"

Lena understood immediately and the compressed miniature Solar Flare in her hand flew out!

The Asura had suffered from this move twice. If it were just Lena, it wouldn't have charged so recklessly. But Lena was being held by another enemy, and it seemed like they weren't going to put her down. The Asura had made its calculations.

When it first jumped, it was extremely wary of the miniature Solar Flare in Lena's hand, always prepared to use its tail to forcibly twist its body. But as it got closer, this wariness almost completely vanished...

It was completely unexpected that even with teammates nearby, the red-robed female war god, who was possibly the Sun of Light, would still unleash a miniature Solar Flare Bombardment, and the command to unleash it was given by that teammate!

At that very moment, Wei Zitong had once again depleted the overflowing energy within his body, teleporting hundreds of meters away while holding Lena!

Lena, with perfect coordination, pressed a ball of energy into Wei Zitong's chest and gently patted it a few times.

Wei Zitong's mouth twitched, but his gaze remained locked on the fiery explosion of the Solar Flare, his mind rapidly calculating the Asura's possible escape routes...

He dared not underestimate any powerful alien creatures appearing in the Super God Universe. Based on the current combat situation, the combat power of this Asura could rival a third-generation Super Soldier, even surpassing it in some aspects, because this monster could wield God-Slaying Power!

Perhaps in the original battlefield of the "Strongest Defense Position," the reason the enemy failed to capture the position despite suffering tens of thousands of casualties was not due to the traps and powerful firepower, but this terrifying God-Slaying monster!

Suddenly, all thoughts in Wei Zitong's mind came to an abrupt halt. He turned to look at a ruin that was not significantly affected by the Solar Flare Bombardment!

Soon, dirt and rubble shifted, and a battered, massive figure shakily stood up!

"Not dead yet? So powerful!" Rui Mengmeng, who had already revealed herself, exclaimed as she picked up one of the greatswords the Asura had used and swung it. "Brother Zitong, can this kill it?"

"No!" Wei Zitong and Lena shook their heads simultaneously.

"Huh? Why?" Rui Mengmeng didn't pay attention to how synchronized their answers were, simply asking.

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

"Besides, God-Slaying weapons are useless against Asuras!" Lena added. "Because they are not Super Gene warriors and lack the gene engine to drive their Super Genes. The decomposition effect of God-Slaying weapons on Super Genes is ineffective against them. They are purely powerful combat creatures!"

"Oh!" Rui Mengmeng accepted the lesson humbly. She then swung the greatsword in her hand again and said regretfully, "What a waste of such a good weapon. If we could take it out, it would be great for Brother Chuang!"

"Alright, stop regretting it," Wei Zitong said. "The immediate priority is to see how much combat power this Asura has left..."

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

"Okay, it's fine to keep regretting it!" Wei Zitong said with a wry smile.
