Stars Descend Again

Li Aoz slashed open the opponent's faceplate and tore flesh off the opponent's pretty face.

Nefes then broke his shoulder and ripped the bone out of his forearm.

—Bloodthirsty Carnival: Normal attacks will tear the opponent's body apart. If the opponent is a carbon-based creature, it will gain a 'bleed' effect for 10 seconds. Each consecutive attack will stack the bleed damage. Every 10 stacks will immediately deal physical damage equal to 26.7% of the opponent's current maximum health.

Despite the constant bursting of blood from Li Aoz's body, his expression grew increasingly excited.

That's it, that's how it has to be! It's been far too long since I've experienced such exhilarating, pure combat since I transmigrated.

What techniques, what numerical calculations, what positioning tactics?

Asking more questions is useless!

Li Aoz hooked his arm around Nefes's neck, lifted him up, and slammed him to the ground. The earth instantly collapsed dozens of meters down, and Nefes suddenly broke free at the deepest part of the pit.

She clamped her feet around his head, slapped the ground, and sprang into the air, twisting rapidly.

Death Roll!

In an instant Li Aoz's head was twisted off, revealing a gray spatial fluctuation like flames. He thrust his sword into Nefes's abdomen with a backhand, pinning her to the ground. Then, he flicked out an Echo Blade from the back of his hand, aiming straight for her eye socket! Clang! Nefes tilted her head, crocodile scales rapidly growing on her cheeks. The moment she deflected the blade, she immediately raised her hand and slapped Li Aoz's armpit, causing him to tighten his upper arm. His sword-wielding arm subconsciously relaxed. Then, Nefes immediately stood up and charged forward, bracing herself against the maggot-infested blade.

Sizzle—

She let Li Aoz's entire arm pass through her lower abdomen, wrapped her legs around Li Aoz's ribs, and used all her strength to press Li Aoz down. She slammed down an elbow, breaking Li Aoz's spine, and then extended her claws, tearing and pulling wildly at his back.

Her attack speed increased, and with her super armor activated, even gravity had no effect on her. Even though her spine and neck were bent and fractured by gravity, her fervent fighting spirit supported her to keep attacking.

Gabros was fearless and ruthless.

[Dark Light] was released, and the angel's Sulfur Fire crashed down, twisting her visor, but the momentum of the attack did not stop.

Gabros, never to be betrayed.

[Calamity] slowly drove, letting all kinds of flying sand and stones confuse her vision. A building crashed down on her in the strong wind. Alloy fragments pierced her armor and pierced her carotid artery, but she still continued to charge.

Gabros is loyal to the company.

[Crescent Moon]'s large hand landed on her forehead, unleashing the power of his Overlord form to negate the dimensional reduction effect. Li Aoz then flicked his wrist, distorting and folding the light before her eyes, quickly forming a lens that burned away her retina.

Pfft!

Nefes's claws pierced through Li Aoz's chest, grabbing his heart and lungs, and pulling them out along with his ribs. Thick blood seeped into her battle suit through the cracks in her armor, clinging to her skin.

Thump!

Just as Nefes raised her claws, ready to end Li Aoz's life, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Bloodline...

That supreme aura returned. And it successfully awakened the fear within me.

No matter how many surgeries one undergoes, the survival instinct as a biological being cannot be erased.

"... the most important point."

Li Aoz's voice says, "Even if you really have nothing, at least you have your own life."

A person who has nothing is not afraid of death.

"...ah."

Nefes lowered her head, her burned eyes not affecting her attack at all. Following the scent of blood, she pounced on Li Aoz again.

"Clang! It seems you already have the answer, Nefthys Cleopatra."

Li Aoz raised the back of his hand to block the sharp claws.

"... to survive."

Nefes continued to exert force forward:

"I want to... live."

"I don't want to be destroyed."

Even if I have nothing left, I still have this life... I don't want to die!

"This is exactly the answer I wanted to give you."

Li Aoz gently deflected her attack, his eyes immediately turning black and red. He smiled slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Well then, it's time to pay for the answer."

Li Aoz twirled his sword, and the flesh and blood on his head proliferated and regenerated rapidly. The scattered alloy, dust, and rocks merged with the blue aura emanating from his body, coalescing into a helmet with sharp edges and corners.

[Dictator Form Activated]

"Nefes Cleopatra, you have the answer, and you must pay for it."

One by one, red and black crystals pierced his skin, releasing a cold, radiant light that instantly enveloped his body in azure light, gradually merging and transforming.

Never Disobedience

Not only that, not only that.

The best way to show respect to Martial Artist is to give it your all.

"Since you have nothing."

Li Aoz popped out of the Ability Pod with his elbow.

Even before setting off this time, in order to prevent any accidents, he had already reconstituted some of his previous Aoneng.

[Gravity], [Dark Light], [Crescent Moon], [Calamity], [Bloodline], [Sever Life], [Soul-Inscribed Sword Saint], [Death Link], [Eye of Truth], [Mountains Armor], [Pegasus Force], [Transposition of the King's Chariot]! Ten in one.

Suddenly, the blind Nefes looked up and, through the faint light of her burned retina, she could glimpse a magnificent figure.

Tap, tap, tap...

The enormous figure slowly walked past her, oscillating between reality and fantasy, and gradually came to stand behind Li Aoz.

"That is..." Nefes murmured, "What exactly is it?"

A colossal god, shrouded in deep blue and pale silver, appeared behind Li Aoz, his arms outstretched as if bestowing supreme grace and blessing.

"Nefes, as payment, I'm taking you away."

Li Aoz's will seemed to become ethereal all at once, and the armor on his body assembled on its own, causing his body to grow to more than three meters tall.

Fu ——————

The radioactive dust that had enveloped the Tomb Stars quickly dispersed, revealing the original appearance of the universe through the damaged celestial barrier.

Thousands of stars gathered at the top.

As Li Aoz's voice echoed through the universe, faint responses could be heard from the depths of space.

Realze... Realze... Realze...

The stars whispered an ancient name.

It was as if at that moment, a miracle from this Star Abyss descended.

Deep blue armor was covered with intricate and mysterious golden runes, and stardust swirled rapidly around him like loyal guards. His porcelain skin reflected a crystalline, opaque, dark glow, exuding composure and restraint.

Click-clack—

His face no longer had human features, but was completely covered by a helmet, with fragmented meteorites colliding and converging around his head as if bound by gravity, forming an inconspicuous crown.

The Lioz's Armor returns!
