I'm the Real Surtr

Clear the area; these small fry simply cannot survive in this realm where the average temperature is six thousand degrees Celsius and the Dusk Flame engulf the heavens and earth. Their tactics of buzzing and leaping like flies are utterly useless against this absolute power. Unless...

A hand silently reached out from the nothingness behind it.

Silence does not mean absence of trace.

The World-Destroying Deity turned around and swung his sword, but this time, the Flame Sword that annihilated all things was held in that slender and pale hand.

"Haven't you noticed that this place is no longer considered Earth?"

Relative coordinates, altitude, 483 kilometers. The boundary of the exosphere, the edge of the Earth.

Miss Surtr, at this moment, sensed the removal of restrictions.

—Just as I expected. The Grand Mystery of the God Slayer is also a shackle that restricts mortals.

—The whole Earth is nothing more than a blue cage.

With a light breath, the martial arts level that had previously crushed the Great Knight, the peak of the Martial Saint realm, suddenly broke through. Using the endless particle radiation in the universe as fuel, his body rapidly reorganized from the inside out.

With the attainment of a flawless body, the calamity of the living Buddha's hole was instantly eliminated. However, the three flowers on the crown of the head did not disappear, but became more and more stable with the leap in the level of life.

The body of a celestial being naturally endowed with the Three Flowers Gathering on the Crown. And the acupoints within the body are instantly filled, leaving no gaps.

The reason Big Dipper Ruyuken was chosen is because this style of martial arts involves 1,109 acupoints. While this is not a perfect number, the remaining 185 can be quickly filled during combat.

She gazed at Surtr before her, at the astonishment in the god's eyes, and at the Flame Sword struggling and trembling between her fingers. The intense heat of the second day could no longer harm her celestial body, and when she tightened her grip, the massive Flame Sword cracked and hissed.

"Really..."

"... What you are using is not the real Laevateinn, but merely the manifested power."

She gazed at the Giant King, and for a fleeting moment, a clear understanding flashed between them—yes, yes, only a battle of sheer willpower, a fight to the death, would be worthy of releasing Laevateinn from her sheath!

With this Unwilling Body?

Based on this immature body?

—As expected of you!

—That's so me!

The stalemate was broken in an instant, the shattering of the Flame Sword accompanied by the falling of the sun.

In an instant, the sky over the Western Hemisphere turned from pale pink to deep red Twilight, and then a fiery meteor, as large as a mountain, crashed down from the top of the sky toward the land!

Chapter 119 - I am Surtr

Come down.

The moment the Meteorite struck the ground, countless square kilometers of land were turned into a desolate wasteland.

Mountains collapsed, forests burned, and vast lakes vaporized. Accompanied by large-scale atmospheric discharge, a ring-shaped cloud vortex with a radius of nearly 100 kilometers was formed and expanded outward.

The ground landing point at the center reached an elevation of one kilometer, which is negative.

In an instant, the huge circular crater was cracked and filled to overflowing, shooting out a massive amount of lava and fire!

'Boom—'

A deafening explosion, thick smoke, and earth-shaking tremors erupted as an active volcano burst forth from the earth, spewing millions of tons of scorching lava. And from the very center of the fiery pool, a giant's perfectly intact hand suddenly stretched out.

"Excellent, excellent! My Other Self is now able to fight to my heart's content!"

The shattered Flame Sword reformed into a stronger and more robust second form from the flames. The giant king sat atop the eye of the volcano, his entire body radiating intense and fiery energy. His adversaries, however, resided above the heavens, atop ring-shaped clouds, overlooking the vast wilderness.

Then, it descended! With billions of thunderbolts that roared suddenly at her breath.

—The acupoints are still being filled, and it is expected that they will reach the number of one yuan in a few minutes. Sure enough, once the shackles are unlocked, they will no longer be suppressed.

—And my current activity time limit is... forty-four minutes and sixteen seconds. Hmm, is it still a bit too far from the Twenty-Seventh Limit of ultimate power?

—Then let's reduce the remaining lifespan to less than ten minutes.

Her bone age changed abruptly, Rakshasa Demon God Art's characteristic of approaching divine power and death the closer she got to twenty-seven years old immediately erupted. The girl's aura more than doubled again during her descent. And with each breath, a sea of positive and negative ions gathered like a tide, following her will!

"Nine Heavens Mystic Temple, forged into divine thunder, its majestic heavenly might, is commanded with a fist!"

Lightning bolts converged into a beam.

Using the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique from the Jade Dynasty universe as a reference, the concept is structured to summon heavenly might. It is then modified and adapted to suit a particular individual's personal style. The final result is billions of bolts of lightning converging into a single punch!

The Flame Sword and the thunderous fist collided, silencing the entire land in an instant. And the moment the balance was broken, the volcano, centered on Surtr, suddenly collapsed and reversed—the earth's crust cracked, and terrifying spiderweb-like patterns, hundreds of meters thick, crawled wildly across the surface. Massive amounts of crustal material were forced to the surface by the uncontrolled pressure, then instantly transformed into magma upon contact with the air!

The Second Flame Sword, shattered.

Several underground water veins, hidden tens of kilometers underground, collapsed and rose, transforming into powerful shockwaves that were then controlled by the Flame-haired maiden in the instant they dissipated. Millions of tons of pure water rapidly converged towards her, and at the moment the third Flame Sword was generated, it formed a massive, towering mountain-like, yet incomparably sharp and razor-sharp single-molecule pure water blade!

—The concept shift is feasible.

—So that's how it is. In the world of God Slayer, the power that is commonly used is called Curse Power. In other words, as long as one casts a curse on nature, its essence, its elements, and its creations, one can obtain the power to control their true essence.

But this still cannot explain divine power and authority...

Thoughts raced like lightning; the meaning of "lightning" was to use the thunder in one's heart to ignite the thunder in the sky. The filled acupoints rapidly approached the number of one, while above the heavens, thunderstorms rained down like rain.

Then, the even more powerful Third Flame Sword collided with the Pure Water Blade.

The blade shattered, but the evaporated pure water flowed around the Giant King. And this pure water, deliberately mixed with impurities, naturally attracted lightning!

"My Other Self is impervious to the power of nature's lightning!" the giant roared with laughter, unleashing the third Flame Sword in a single strike, which this time shattered the even more resilient and stubborn second water blade. Countless bolts of lightning struck the giant's body, yet failed to damage it in the slightest!

—It has been confirmed that purely physical phenomena are unlikely to have a tangible impact on the divine body. However, the previous punch could cause damage, suggesting that the Unwilling God's body is a conceptual product of semi-energy properties. The possibility of destroying it with a nuclear explosion has been reduced.

—Can't sheer force produce miracles? Tsk, I was even planning to handcraft a massive Tsar Bomba with a yield of 100 million tons to send it to its demise, but it seems that unenchanted natural forces can't inflict any real damage on the Fire Giant King.

Just like on Terra, no matter how hot the fire or how intense the light, it couldn't burn me in the slightest!

The plan was readjusted, and in an instant, even more water blades were generated, clashing with the Flame Sword thousands of times—a draw, as Surtr was also familiarizing herself with her sword techniques as her Twenty-Seventh Limit approached. With each second of delay, the Giant King's swordplay became increasingly ruthless and vicious!

"Frey's swordsmanship is inferior to yours, my My Other Self. But you, too, cannot inflict any real damage on me!"

The Pure Water Blade completely vaporized, and the third Flame Sword slashed down, splitting the one who had lost the blade in two—naturally, at some unknown time, that body was replaced by an avatar constructed from essence. As the sword's momentum extended, and the surging flames stretched across the earth, creating a molten chasm several kilometers long, the girl's form appeared in the clouds near the sky.

The first body was destroyed, but the second body stood side by side with the original. And around the second body floated a Pure Uranium Flower drawn from the depths of the Ley Line!
