The Battle's End

The ability to Mirror Image Clone is indeed terrifying.

The mirror can create as many clones as there are reflections of yourself, and what's most terrifying is that these clones possess the exact same special abilities and combat power as you.

This ability was the main reason why Noya Mei was able to join the Hunter from the beginning, and it also became the main reason why she was later promoted to captain of the Hunter squad.

However, due to the limitations of her ability level, she can currently only summon a maximum of twelve clones. But for others, this ability is already incredibly powerful. Against opponents of similar strength, it's essentially thirteen against one, a huge advantage.

Moreover, the Mirror Image Clone is indistinguishable from the real person, so most people would find it very troublesome to encounter someone with this ability.

However, for Sea Emperor, identifying the true form was not difficult at all. As long as it was within his detection range, he could easily detect the other party's biomagnetic field, thereby judging their physical condition. Those clones created through his abilities were not living beings and did not possess biomagnetic fields. Therefore, Noya Mei's clone was like a beacon in the darkness for Sea Emperor, easily visible at a glance.

After Noya Mei completed her clone, she immediately launched an attack.

The Sea Emperor whispered only one sentence in Gu Ding's ear, "The third one from the left."

Gu Ding lunged straight at her true form.

Noya Mei's base Combat Strength of nearly one billion points was boosted to nearly four billion points after using the fourfold amplification of the Limitless Body Technique. However, with the twentyfold defense amplification of the Advanced Iron Block and the 50% reduction in the damage of the Martial Dao Force Field to the enemy, this attack became essentially ineffective, and even Gu Ding's defense could not be broken through.

Gu Ding took several Shadow Step, relentlessly pursuing Noya Mei's true form.

Noya Mei swapped positions with her main body and clones several times in an attempt to escape Gu Ding's attacks, but Gu Ding completely ignored all the attacks from his clones.

After several chases, Noya Mei finally realized that Gu Ding had known her true identity from the very beginning. He had no intention of fighting his clones; he simply withstood all attacks, targeting only his true self. Realizing this, she knew that a fight was necessary, as her clones also had a time limit. Continuing to drag things out would be pointless.

Seeing that his opponent had stopped fleeing, Gu Ding pushed his Limitless Body Technique to its highest level, the twelfth level, doubling his Combat Strength once again, all in order to quickly end the battle. At this moment, Gu Ding's Combat Strength was directly boosted to 512 million, and his speed was also twice as fast as before.

This time, Noya Mei chose to take the initiative, launching an attack on Gu Ding from thirteen different angles, along with her twelve clones.

With a base Combat Strength of nearly one billion points, amplified fourfold by the Limitless Body Technique, along with silver qi carrying the force of wind and thunder, it mercilessly struck Gu Ding's thirteen vital points.

Gu Ding stood motionless, his Martial Dao Force Field fully activated. Noya Mei's attacks were weakened by half the speed and range before they entered within ten meters of him. His gaze, however, was fixed on Gu Ding 'Noya Mei true form.

Both being Limitless Body Technique, Noya Mei's flawed version of Limitless Body Technique was riddled with serious openings against Gu Ding. He clenched his fist tightly, and following the slight opening revealed on his opponent's side, a powerful Steel Fist flashed like golden lightning.

With a loud "boom," Gu Ding's punch landed squarely on Noya Mei's left waist, a vital spot.

Damage stacking also activated instantly, amplified by the double damage from the Martial Dao Force Field.

1.024 billion! 0.48 billion! 4.096 billion!

Three consecutive blows landed squarely on Noya Mei's waist without any suspense.

Even with her Gale Body activated and nearly 4 billion points of defense, Noya Mei's defenses were still breached by Gu Ding's triple attack, resulting in several broken ribs on her side.

The pain caused her to stagger backward rapidly.

Gu Ding was about to give chase, but at that moment, Jin Gang also noticed the battle on Noya Mei's side. He forced himself to appear in front of Gu Ding his path.

He launched an attack on Gu Ding with somewhat weak fists.

Gu Ding swayed and found another opening in his body, landing a powerful three-hit Steel Fist on his chest.

This time, he finally collapsed completely. Under the Limitless Body Technique of the twelfth level, Gu Ding's Combat Strength was twice that of when he fought him before, resulting in a complete crushing defeat in Combat Strength.

Seeing Jin Gang completely collapsed and unable to get up, while her own ribs were broken and her internal organs were slightly displaced, Noya Mei knew that she had completely lost this battle. This was the first time she had suffered such a crushing defeat since joining the Hunter.

Although her clone did not disappear, Gu Ding felt that she had lost all will to fight.

"Find someone to treat them as soon as possible. Don't delay too long for bone injuries, or they could leave lasting damage." After saying this, Gu Ding walked towards where Elsa and Tagore were.

"Our battle is not over yet!" Noya Mei stood up stubbornly, her eyes filled with tears, but she didn't let them fall.

"I told you, this is just a friendly spar." Gu Ding didn't intend to continue arguing with her.

"It may be for you, but for me, this is a real battle. The battle will only end when one side is defeated! But I will not admit defeat!" Noya Mei looked at Gu Ding with a hint of provocation.

Gu Ding stared at her in silence for a long time before finally nodding. "As you wish."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took another Shadow Step forward, this time appearing directly in front of Noya Mei.

This time, Noya Mei didn't run away. Instead, she unleashed a Steel Fist, relentlessly striking Gu Ding's chest. Gu Ding didn't block her attacks.

He raised his left hand, but instead of a powerful Steel Fist, he unleashed a sharp, deadly Absolute Finger strike. The Finger Force strike delivered three consecutive attacks, three sharp beams shooting out and striking Noya Mei between the eyebrows.

After suffering this triple blow, Noya Mei collapsed to the ground, her body limp.

Gu Ding's attack target is the "weak point that causes dizziness" described in the Limitless Body Technique, and only the Absolute Finger can achieve this point attack effect.

Seeing these people lying all over the ground, although a few were still conscious, they were unable to move easily.

Gu Ding shook his head helplessly and dialed the emergency center's number again.

"Hello. There are eight wounded people at the port. Please come here as soon as possible."

After hanging up the call, Gu Ding waved to Elsa, and Tagore leaped onto Gu Ding's shoulder. The two people and the cat walked towards the Golden Eagle, which was not far away.

The Golden Eagle quickly departed from Jer Star and headed towards its next target location.

Meanwhile, on the Jer Star, the events that were unfolding continued.

The emergency center quickly transported Noya Mei and the others to the hospital for treatment. In fact, they weren't seriously injured; most only had fractures and external injuries. Those with slightly more serious injuries had some internal organ displacement, but these guys were naturally very resilient, and after drinking the Cellular Repair Agent, they recovered quickly.

When Noya Mei woke up, her bed was surrounded by people.

"Big Sister, are you alright?" Jin Gang arrived in a wheelchair; his injuries were the most severe, but he had woken up earlier.

"I'm fine. How long was I unconscious?" Noya Mei was more concerned about this question.

"You were unconscious for three and a half hours," Four Eyes and Monkey returned from the mission point.

"So long? Four Eyes, have you finished your mission?" Noya Mei suddenly realized, "Did you send the video of the scene to the captain?"

"It was sent out a long time ago, and reinforcements have already arrived. Both sites have been cordoned off, otherwise how would we dare to leave there and come to the hospital?" Four Eyes nodded.

"What did the Captain-General say?" Noya Mei asked next.

"He said he would send the video footage to the Marshal and the King. How to handle this matter afterward depends on the King's decision. Until then, our squad can stay put. If needed, he will contact us immediately. However, the Commander-in-Chief hasn't sent back any message yet, so the outcome is probably still pending," Four Eyes explained.

"Did you find anything at the scene?" Noya Mei propped herself up with her hands and sat up. Actually, her injuries weren't serious. It was just a common fracture. As for Gu Ding's Absolute Finger blow, the effect was basically only dizziness; it didn't even cause a concussion.

"No signs of a battle were found near the Edifice Building."

The Edifice Building is the building where Gu Ding previously watched the game.

"However, at the Rioben Prison, almost everything was destroyed. Rioben Prison completely collapsed, and there wasn't a single survivor, including Warden Hammer Lock." The bespectacled man said, projecting the video he had filmed.

The group stared intently at the video projection, afraid of missing anything.

In the projection, Rioben Prison completely collapsed, as did all other nearby buildings. The ground cracked like a spider's web, and the nearby trees and flowers were reduced to dust...

"This is absolutely not something that could be caused by human power," Noya Mei said with certainty. "Even a top-tier demigod could not have done this! The only cause of this battle is the clash between two gods."

When people on the Jer Star were discussing this matter.

A similar scene unfolded in a virtual conference room on the planet Tianwang.

The meeting was attended by two women and three men.

One of the men, Kapting, the leader of the Hunter, also projected the video footage he had previously obtained in front of everyone.

After the five people at the conference table silently watched the two complete videos, an elderly man with white hair spoke up.

"According to your previous description, Kapting, one of the combatants should be Will Projection. Indeed, only a god could pull off such a battle. But there is still a lot of missing information, such as what is the purpose of this divine projection? Why is it fighting someone? Who exactly is the opponent? Why was the battle location chosen to be near Rioben Prison on Jer Star?"

"I've seen the Hammer Lock of Rioben Prison before," a tall woman in a black dress suddenly spoke up. "He has an incomplete divine artifact in his possession. I personally think it's very likely that the god came for this artifact, and the thing fighting the god's projection is very likely that artifact. However, we will have to see the scene of the battle to make a final determination."

"Miss Medea, when do you plan to depart? I'll arrange the spaceship," suggested the Middle-Aged Man with graying hair sitting to the side.

"We'll leave immediately after the meeting!" The tall woman seemed very decisive.

"I'll go with you..." the woman in the purple dress suddenly spoke up.
