A King Who Loved Explosions!

"You are a worthy opponent! I was thinking, if I were to devour you, wouldn't I be quite lonely?" Tarune King asked while maintaining the energy shockwave in his hand.

"Regret now? It's too late! You're destined to devour the lifeblood of every planet, eventually planting the God Tree, harvesting its fruit, and consuming it! In that case, the entire universe will be destroyed by you!"

"You have no chance to turn back, Otsutsuki Tarune King!! Be reduced to nothing by my attack! Remember me! The one who killed you is called Otsutsuki Shigure!" At this Shiyu had used all his power to maintain the Heaven and Earth Break.

"Heaven and Earth Break" is just a name; it's simply a metaphor for Shiyu unleashing a shockwave at full power.

Shiyu used all his strength and sustained his energy to attack, and Otsutsuki Tarune King also used his full power - Ultimate Soul Break to defend against it.

The two remained locked in a stalemate, each draining the other's energy.

"Ah!" Shiyu broke through his own limits once again. The power within him continued to accumulate, and soon he gradually surpassed Tarune King.

"Impossible! Your power has surpassed mine!?" Tarune King could clearly feel his energy waves gradually weakening, and he was already at a disadvantage.

"I won't be so easily killed by some unknown enemy!" Tarune King, and the energy shockwave in his hand, which was slowly losing power, suddenly changed.

It immediately went from stable to unstable.

The Soul Wave was suddenly detonated, and the power of the detonated chakra was extremely strong. Otsutsuki Hoshiyo was very afraid of Shiyu detonating his chakra before. If Shiyu's level of chakra were detonated, the entire space would be completely destroyed.

Shiyu never expected that Tarune King would deliberately detonate his own Soul Wave. Since the detonation started from his own side, Tarune King had essentially abandoned his own physical body.

"Boom!!!" The explosion was extremely loud, and thick smoke rose up around them, followed by the voice of Otsutsuki Tarune King.

"Haha! Otsutsuki Shigure? Didn't expect that, did you? I would so decisively choose to explode! This level of explosion is almost the next level of new types of explosions. Even you couldn't survive!" Otsutsuki Tarune King said with a laugh.

"Huff, huff, huff," came the sound of Shiyu's panting.

"Oh? Still alive? How interesting." Tarune King had already spotted Shiyu's figure.

Shiyu wasn't killed instantly by the explosion. Instead, at the most critical moment, she withdrew her power and quickly created a protective shield that could be considered Absolute Defense.

However, even the seemingly invincible protective shield had become quite weak at this moment due to Shiyu losing too much power.

"Besides praising you, I have nothing else to tell you. Your strength is truly formidable. Anyone else who gets hit by this move would be 100% dead!"

"Not bad! I'm becoming increasingly reluctant to kill you. Fine! I won't devour you! I'll just merge with you directly, that way you can become a part of my body."

"How about it? By then, you'll still retain some independent thinking instead of being completely devoured by me. I've already given you a way out, so why don't you give up as soon as possible?" Tarune King once again extended an olive branch to Shiyu.

However, Shiyu once again disdainfully rejected Tarune King.

"No matter what, I'm a transmigrator who isn't the protagonist. Becoming part of a major villain sounds absolutely disgusting."

"Since you want to merge with me, that's not impossible, but the prerequisite is that you must use me as the core, as the main body, and merge yourself into my body as the merging agent," Shiyu said with a smile.

"Get out! That's impossible!"

In other words, Shiyu actually wanted to absorb Otsutsuki Tarune King, but how could Otsutsuki Tarune King agree to that? He wouldn't be foolish enough to let Shiyu devour him directly.

"So there's no room for negotiation?"

"This is your last chance. Have you thought it through?" Tarune King asked again.

"I've thought it through. Either you merge with me, or I'll kill you!" Shiyu said firmly and resolutely.

"You... you really think I can't kill you?"

"You obviously can't withstand that attack anymore, but I can use it one more time. Don't blame me if you die then!" Tarune King then gathered his energy once more, clasping his hands together. Finally, the energy was adjusted to the appropriate ratio, and then Tarune King compressed it. After the compression was finished, he immediately released it towards Shiyu once more.

"You think I haven't held back?" Shiyu also used the Heaven and Earth Break to retaliate.

The two energy waves collided once again. Although the power of the energy waves was not as great as before, the strength of the two sides was clearly even more even.

This time, however, the two did not intend to waste any more time. Not long after, Otsutsuki Tarune King ignited his own chakra once again, and the energy wave exploded once more.

However, at that Shiyu's side, and Shiyu disappeared from the spot, leaving behind some smoke. Clearly, Shiyu had taken the opportunity to use Shadow Clone earlier.

"This is!? I see! So it's not the real thing!? But it doesn't matter, I'll make the explosion even more intense!"

The explosions came suddenly; the loud "boom boom boom boom!" sounds rang out.

The chakra detonated by the Tarune King suddenly became much more powerful, forcing even Shiyu to use his energy shield again for defense.

However, this time Tarune King was smarter. While detonating, he discovered Shiyu's true form, so Tarune King Teleportation to Shiyu's side at top speed. Shiyu was subjected to a close-range, frenzied explosion by Otsutsuki Tarune King.

"Boom! Boom!" In no Shiyu was completely shattered. In the end, Shiyu had no choice but to suffer the explosion caused by the energy wave, and was completely targeted by the explosion.

Shiyu withstood the explosion from the Tarune King. Because of his strong physique, Shiyu survived the explosion once again.

"Haha! Impressive! But this is the last time." At this moment, Otsutsuki Tarune King quickly arrived at Shiyu's side, and the energy wave in his hand once again materialized.

"Soul Slash!" The energy sword technique in his hand was once again detonated by Otsutsuki Tarune King.
