Dokter VS Biggins
The battle between the two sides lasted less than three minutes. Dokter had already rendered eight of his men Combat Strength. The original nine-man top-1 regular team was now reduced to just one lone commander Biggins.
This outcome was unexpected by everyone, including Biggins himself.
Biggins even doubted whether he could have achieved the same level of success if he were in Dokter's position. He knew he had encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, whose cultivation level was only demigod.
Biggins had been number one in the top tier for over two years, and he had always believed that among the Low-rank God in the entire Universe Sea, his strength, if not the strongest, was definitely among the top two. His long winning streak had solidified this belief. Only today, for the first time, did he begin to doubt his own power.
Dokter stood before Biggins, unleashing a terrifying aura without any attempt at concealment. That aura was like that of an enormous, colossal Starry Sky Giant Beast, so powerful it was suffocating.
Among the onlookers were many Low-rank God and Mid-rank God, all of whom vaguely felt the suppressive effect of that aura. In reality, the main target of Dokter's aura was Biggins, and the residual force was only distributed to the others.
Gu Ding and his group also sensed this aura.
"Dokter seems to have gotten a little stronger again," Gu Ding remarked.
"His aura is stronger than it was a few days ago." Bigge nodded in agreement.
Biggins's perception was more direct. He could sense that Dokter's aura was no weaker than his own, and might even be stronger. So he released his own aura without reservation.
"This guy is quite strong too, no wonder he can sit in the top 1 position." Gu Ding realized that Biggins' strength was far superior to the other members of the top 1. In fact, it could be said that they were not even in the same league.
"He seems to have a special bloodline as well." Elsa, who was standing to the side, vaguely sensed something.
Sea Emperor remained silent for a moment, then quickly found Biggins' information. "Elsa was right after all. This guy is called Biggins, and he has half of the blood of the Abyss Sea Serpent. He can transform himself into Abyss Sea Serpent."
"How could a human possess the bloodline of the Abyss Sea Serpent?" Liliath was somewhat puzzled by this. Since the Abyss Sea Serpent was a demonic beast, it wouldn't be surprising if someone obtained bloodline factors from their blood marrow and gained corresponding abilities, but these bloodline factors couldn't be inherited. This was because such bloodline factors were acquired temporarily and were not heritable.
"This goes back to Ancient Era, to a powerful being revered as the Great Emperor Bei Feng. This guy named Sorrowful Wind was an oddity among humans. He never liked beautiful human women like normal human men do. He slept with almost every female race in the Universe Sea. So he was also known as—the man who single-handedly created countless races."
"He also has a famous saying: Regardless of its race, gender, age, whether it is alive or dead, whether it is a carbon-based life form, a silicon-based life form, or a metal cell organism, they all have their own charm, and I am the man who protects that charm for them."
"You mean, this guy named Sorrowful Wind and the Abyss Sea Serpent... had offspring after...?" Liliath covered her mouth.
"That's right," Sea Emperor replied affirmatively.
After hearing what Sea Emperor had to say, everyone looked at Biggins with a hint of sympathy.
Biggins didn't hear the discussion on Gu Ding's side. He always disliked others revealing the origins of his bloodline, but it was undeniable that his current strength, far surpassing that of other humans of the same rank, was indeed inseparable from his bloodline.
The tension between Dokter and Biggins quickly reached its peak, and the two finally couldn't hold back any longer. They shattered the ground with one step and charged madly toward each other.
Many onlookers were puzzled by this scene, wondering, "Isn't Dokter, a member of the Gu Ding Team, good at ranged attacks? Why is he charging towards the enemy?"
They had previously witnessed Dokter using throwing knives for ranged attacks, effectively neutralizing the top eight Combat Strength, leading them to believe that Dokter was only skilled in ranged combat. However, after inheriting the Crimson Blood Beast's legacy, Dokter's melee abilities were in no way inferior to his throwing knife attacks; he had practically become an all-rounder with no weaknesses.
The two on the battlefield clashed fiercely. At first, many people could still vaguely catch a glimpse of their figures, but gradually, the onlookers could no longer see their movements. They could only hear the booming sound of the impact, like thunder exploding in the sky, one sound after another, and the ground trembled.
Their speed was already extremely close to that of High-rank God. At the scene of the battle, only the other members of Gu Ding Team could track their movements. As for the other members of Top 1, they couldn't even see their actions clearly, because the difference in their strength was simply too great.
"It seems that the two are about the same strength." Although Gu Ding couldn't tell who was stronger, he didn't think Dokter would lose.
The exchange of fire lasted for nearly three minutes before finally stopping, with each person standing on their own side.
"Let's end the warm-up here; continuing is just a waste of time." Biggins knew that dragging it out wouldn't make much sense.
"I think so too." Dokter also realized that his opponent's strength was actually about the same as his own, and it would be difficult to win if he didn't use his best skills.
"That was just a warm-up???" Many onlookers were speechless with astonishment. The two had practically overwhelmed all Mid-rank God experts, yet it was just a warm-up...
Biggins was determined to finish the battle quickly and unleash his strongest weapon. He knew the mission had failed; Dokter alone was already incredibly powerful, and the rest of Gu Ding Team, even if not stronger Dokter, were certainly no weaker. Now, he only wanted to settle things with Dokter.
He stood there, fists clenched, his eyes turning an eerie blue, and then his body began to undergo drastic changes. His muscles began to swell rapidly, scales began to grow, and his size increased dramatically.
To everyone's astonishment, they watched Biggins transformed from a human into a giant python tens of meters long.
Even Dokter, who was fighting against Biggins, looked surprised. He couldn't believe that his opponent had transformed from a human into a giant python.
Although Sea Emperor told Gu Ding and the others about Biggins, he didn't tell Dokter because he was in the middle of a battle. Therefore, Dokter was unaware that Biggins possessed that special bloodline.
But for Dokter, having followed Gu Ding and the others for so long, he had seen it all, and he quickly calmed down. Although the opponent had turned into a demonic beast, he'd killed demonic beasts before; what was there to be surprised about? Besides, after receiving the Crimson Blood Beast's inheritance, he had never tried any of the killing techniques within its Inheritance Memory, and he'd always wanted to find someone to test his skills against. Now that one was offered up, why not take advantage of it?
Thinking of these things, the divine source within Dokter's body immediately began to operate in a strange manner, and a powerful force began to automatically gather in his fist.
The giant green python quickly locked its gaze on Dokter's location and suddenly lunged forward. But Dokter was not afraid at all, and his eyes revealed a burning fighting spirit. He also pushed off with his feet and pounced on the giant python.
The two soon clashed in mid-air, and Dokter threw a punch, aiming a powerful blow at the giant python's head.
Although Biggins' defense was much stronger after transforming, he didn't dare to be careless. It would be unwise to use his head to ram into the enemy, so he dragged his long tail and swung it wildly.
Dokter remained calm and suddenly changed the direction of his fist, striking towards the huge tail.
"Boom!" The ferocity of this impact far exceeded the sum of the previous ones. The aftershocks from the explosion were probably enough to annihilate an ordinary Mid-rank God into dust.
Gu Ding and his group were naturally fine, but they frowned slightly, fearing that the onlookers were likely to suffer in this brawl.
Just then, a circular shield suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping Dokter and Biggins, who were locked in combat. Not a single shockwave from their attacks escaped.
Gu Ding and the others looked at the powerful figure who had thrown out the circular shield in the sky with some astonishment—it was actually a woman!
