051 Sever-Sky Sword

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Countless golden swords fell from the sky, piercing Archduke Gamos's body like a cage in an instant. The swords dragged the chains, their power to destroy evil not yet sufficient, and the sword hilts and the swords plunged into the earth, dragging the Grand Duke's massive body and almost causing him to fall backward.

The spiritual power was constantly melted away like ice and snow under the golden sword that embodied the law.

Gamos was slightly surprised.

Even with his physique, the wounds inflicted by the golden sword had lost some of their sensitivity to spiritual energy—no, not just spiritual energy, but it was as if something like Original Sin, which was wrapped around him, had been directly removed by the power.

"Punishment Officer from the Old Era, you can actually communicate with Beccaria's Criminal Contract..."

Amazing.

Gamos roughly understood that the woman in front of him was probably already prepared to die and drag him down to hell with her.

So that's how it is. If she really still has the contract with Beccaria, then she can indeed try to destroy herself.

The power of the Punishment Officer could easily inflict considerable damage on his enormous body, even dragging him directly out of the spirit world.

"Perhaps, given more time, you can indeed do it."

But that's not enough! Gamos's outstretched hand still gripped Alexia, and with a forceful squeeze, he slammed her to the ground.

Right now.

Alexia's spine slammed into the ground. Thirty meters was far from fatal for a physically strong person from the Old Era, but the Grand Duke's forceful grip had allowed evil spiritual energy to surge into her body. Her internal organs felt as if they were filled with ice, and her body was covered in frost at a visible speed.

Spiritual energy erosion.

Shamans' magical damage abilities are simpler and more direct than those of mediums. They only need to strike someone with their spiritual power to steal their body heat. Furthermore, by injecting spiritual power into the opponent's body, they can continuously reduce the opponent's health.

Humans are, after all, humans. Once their body temperature drops below 20 degrees Celsius, the hypothalamus can no longer regulate body temperature, blood pressure stops, organs fail, and death is inevitable. Even superhumans are no exception. The better a superhuman's physique and willpower, the more cruel the pain they endure during the process of freezing to death. Their consciousness will be more clearly aware of the loss of their life. At that moment, the pain is like piercing, squeezing, and draining every cell in their body. This pain will continue until they become spirits, wandering in the mortal world until their soul dissipates.

She was unable to move for a while, but Alexia didn't hesitate at all. As soon as the violent impact ended, she shouted into the air:

"Aoz!"

Without Alexia's prompting, Li Aoz had already changed the momentum and launched an attack in an instant, the pods on his arms popping open and bursting with strange light.

This was his only chance. If he didn't win in one fell swoop, he wouldn't be able to deal with so many enemies on his own.

All the Aoneng he possessed converged here, and the crystal Tachi in his hand was completely swallowed up and disappeared by the flowing power under the influence of Aoneng.

[Gravity·Contact] - Superposition

The gravitational field expands to its maximum.

[Sever Life] - Stacking

The tentacles that popped out instantly wrapped around the spirits of the two evil spirits, dragging them directly toward Li Aoz, and in a frenzied devouring, drained them of their soul essence.

[Soul-Inscribed Sword Saint — Wargod]--Dieja

Dark purple resentment swirled around the longsword like a banner, and the warrior behind him materialized, completely enveloping Li Aoz's body.

[Blood of Immortality] - Digg

Flesh and blood rapidly proliferated, covering the armor and forming stable connecting parts.

[Mountains Armor]—Diega

The obsidian armor re-covered the rock strata, gradually elongating into a flattened structure during high-speed movement.

[Natural Ignition] - Stacking

Amidst the raging flames and the surging firelight, the faint sounds of violent white explosions could be heard.

'...pity.'

Accompanied by the mournful sighs of Suzan's sword spirit, gravity instantly flung Li Aoz's figure high into the sky, dragging a series of Mach rings through the air, all the way to the dome.

A notification popped up on the system panel. Li Aoz glanced at it subconsciously. He was speechless due to the high-speed flight, but his pupils immediately contracted.

[Huh? This skill can actually be synthesized like this—]

bite--

In the blink of an eye, a striking red line was briefly cut off from the dark red and black Esha Clouds.

In that instant, people seemed to see a vast, boundless dark blue starry sky, shining with unknown morning stars.

Those who had never seen a sky other than red and black and Artificial Sun since birth were immediately stunned.

They gazed intently at the distant horizon, the deep, Unknown Airspace bringing tears to everyone's eyes.

Is that... the starry sky?

The Grand Duke, trapped on the ground, trembled all over. He used lightning to shatter the chains, and as soon as he turned his head, a red light pierced through his brow.

The Grand Duke stood frozen in place, while the meteor streaking across the sky crashed down on a distant mountain, instantly piercing through a 600-meter-high mountain and creating a fireball that was far brighter than the Artificial Sun.

A deafening explosion resounded across the land, causing the entire Speria City to tremble violently. A surging shockwave swept across the land, creating a snowstorm and sandstorm tens of meters high in the city.

"This is... a six-in-one."

Li Aoz crashed through the mountainside and plunged into the lake. The intense heat evaporated the lake water, creating a torrential downpour in the air.

He struggled to slowly rise from the crater in the ground. His body was almost completely burned to ashes. The power of the [Blood of Immortality] activated, allowing the remaining cells to regenerate rapidly and reconnect the broken bones. The pain all over his body almost made him faint.

The Grand Duke, who had caught his attack from a distance, stood still. Even from more than ten kilometers away, one could see his imposing body slowly melting and disintegrating under the violent heat, like a black butterfly drifting away between heaven and earth.

"Qiu Ran, the destructive power of your Aoneng is truly terrifying..."

Li Aoz collapsed to the ground, his whole body trembling.

Although he had a premonition that Qiu Ran's Aoneng, when combined, would be extremely destructive, he never expected that the six-in-one combination would possess such destructive power.

Only at this moment did he slowly raise his head and look up at the 'scar' in the sky that had not healed for a long time. In that Malefic Calamity wound, the deep dark sky and the captivating Star Abyss were revealed.

[Your title 'Cataclysm' effect has been triggered! This attack is a 'Critical Strike'! (Triple damage, weak point attack, high chance of fatal)]

[Cat fatality determination in progress...]

[Perpetual: Arbitrary - Effect activated!]

[Perpetual · Love Hunter - Effect activated!]

[Detection successful; lethal effect has taken effect.]

[Villainous Outlaw - Effect Activated]

The critical hit rate for this attack is 160%.

[After correction, the damage dealt was: 64,798 points of True Damage (instant death)]

[The tyrannical ruler's downfall will see his crimes and history buried deep within the verdant mountains, unworthy of praise by outsiders.]

[Main Quest: "Roar of Freedom" has met the initial settlement conditions]

The system notification slowly refreshed at the edge of his vision. Besides the news of the terrifyingly massive damage inflicted on the Grand Duke, at the top of a series of data, the skill name of this sky-ripping strike was calmly displayed: "Morphedria's Sever-Sky Sword".

Thank you Hobart for being the leader of the aurora project. Thank you, boss. Sorry, I just noticed.

By the way, so many people gave me tips this month, I'll have to make another thank-you list next month.

The Overlord Form is mainly inspired by Tekkaman Evil from Tekkaman Blade, and its bio-material texture is similar to Warframe and Archbishop Artanis from Warframe.

The design of the Li Aoz's visor can be easily imagined: Optimus Prime's visor mode, the Zeta Gundam, or Delta Plus, with the mouth sealed off, unlike the Brave series robots which can show their mouths. (Although the teeth under the visor are as exaggerated as Tyrannosaurus Rex.) The prototype for Mouldy Crotch's armor, although based on a unicorn + Banshee, actually has a face design more like Jesta, resembling Sunglasses- style device.
