As Ye Yang continued absorbing the energy,
the lightning within the rolling dark clouds began to weaken.
The thunderous blasts grew quieter, too.
Even some of the clouds showed signs of dispersing.
"He's going to absorb all the lightning.
"And according to the data displayed by my Dark Energy Calculation Group,
"he's already stored all the lightning in his cells.
"His overall strength has increased tremendously.
"To put it in Earth terms,
"he's a giant battery.
"Every cell in his body is charging up, turning into energy he can control."
A holographic projection filled with calculations appeared in the air before Angel Zhui.
It displayed all kinds of dynamic data.
"Yan, we can't let him keep absorbing it," Angel Zhui advised.
Yan heard her.
Her expression remained impassive.
Inside, she scoffed.
She raised her sword toward the sky and stepped forward.
Then she chanted:
"I am Yan, Thunder God of War!
"A direct disciple of Queen Keisha,
"and wielder of the strongest lightning power in the Merlot Heavenly Court!
"Let's see how much you can absorb—
"Infinite Thunder!"
(Note: Yan hasn't yet attained the Nebula-level power of Infinite Thunder. That's simply what this move is called.)
As Yan chanted,
electric currents crackled wildly around her body.
They indiscriminately bombarded the ground around her.
Every blast left a deep crater in the ground or a wall.
Her eyes, like Ye Yang's, blazed with silvery light.
Like laser eyes poised to fire.
Angel Zhui and Angel Moi, behind her, saw what was happening.
They realized Yan was getting serious.
Without a word, the two of them flapped their wings and flew away.
Clap!
Angel Yan switched to gripping her sword with both hands.
In an instant,
her output increased a hundredfold!
The sword blazed with silver light.
Then,
a thick column of lightning shot from the tip of her sword into the clouds, surging straight toward the clouded sky.
In the blink of an eye,
the pillar of lightning rubbed against the atmosphere.
It sounded as though thousands of divine birds were shrieking.
The noise was deafening.
"Let's see how much you can absorb."
Angel Yan stared coldly at Ye Yang, floating before her.
Sure enough,
after that surge of power from her,
the clouds that had nearly dispersed began churning with thunder once more.
Bolts of silver lightning radiated through the clouds, dazzlingly bright. Huang Village was lit up as if it were broad daylight.
Outside the village,
at the military camp,
the soldiers of the entire reinforced regiment watched the clouds, which had dimmed, erupt again with even brighter flashes than before.
They were all shaken to their cores.
Some were so frightened that their legs went numb.
But a large part of the reason was the powerful electric charge filling the air.
Even twenty kilometers away, the air carried enough electricity to make people feel a tingling sensation.
"Quick! Contact the Giant Gorge! There's a massive energy burst in Huang Village!"
"My god, could this be a weather weapon from a science fiction novel? What on earth is happening in Huang Village?!"
The two commanders at the military camp shouted in terror.
Meanwhile,
Ye Yang still floated above the ruined village street.
He sucked in the torrent of lightning connecting to the Sky Dome through his mouth and nose.
Thump!
Suddenly,
a deep, muffled sound burst from Ye Yang's chest.
"Ah, that's the stuff!"
Ye Yang let out a roar.
The three streams of lightning he was sucking in through his mouth and nose swelled in an instant, growing from trickles into columns several meters wide.
Like a whale gulping down water, he greedily devoured the lightning in the sky.
Angel Yan furrowed her brow.
Something felt wrong.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Suddenly,
Ye Yang's chest began pounding like a war drum.
The sound even drowned out the thunder overhead.
Above,
Angel Zhui and Angel Moi began analyzing Ye Yang at the same time.
The shock on their faces grew with every passing moment.
Angel Moi: "The target's body structure has undergone a sudden transformation. His cells no longer belong to the Shenhe body type. How is this possible? Lightning—his cells are made entirely of lightning. He has transcended the limits of humanity!"
Angel Zhui: "If his cells were like a giant battery before, then he himself is lightning now—a strange life-form with a body shaped like a human, formed entirely from lightning!"
Angel Moi: "The angels' Database has no record of any similar species or genetic makeup. This is incredible."
Angel Zhui: "This is bad. After absorbing so much lightning, his body seems to be undergoing some kind of evolution!"
Angel Zhui hurriedly used Dark Communication to warn Angel Yan below: "Yan, he seems to have evolved. Be careful!"
At that moment, Ye Yang's
T-shirt and jeans crumbled into scraps and vanished.
His entire body rapidly turned a brilliant silver-blue.
His once-close-cropped hair
became sharp blue flames, standing on end like a hedgehog's spines.
His eyebrows flickered like flames.
Behind his arms, shoulders, and neck,
a silver-blue ribbon of divine light formed out of thin air.
His once-proportioned body began to swell and grow.
In the blink of an eye,
he had become a three-meter-tall giant wreathed in blue lightning.
His belly and chest were especially enormous, round as balloons and sturdy as an ox. Spiral-patterned tattoos appeared along both sides of his ribs.
Lightning formed a skirt of scales around his lower body.
His overall appearance resembled the Four Great Vajras of Buddhist lore.
No!
More precisely,
he looked almost exactly like Enel's Thunder God Form from the Pirate King world, wielded by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
"After absorbing my lightning, he actually turned into this."
At that moment,
Angel Yan, who had always prided herself on being a god, stared blankly at Ye Yang in the sky.
Perhaps, just then,
Yan thought Ye Yang's form was more deserving of the title Thunder God.
At the same time,
Ye Yang, now in his Thunder God body, looked at Angel Yan.
He thrust out his thick right arm.
His finger pointed at her.
Angel Yan, sensing the provocation, snapped out of her daze.
Without losing her composure, she sneered:
"Quite the intimidating look, brat. In my seven thousand years as a warrior, you've got to be the most intimidating thing I've ever seen. I hope you can make this fight fun for me."
"You call yourself the Thunder God of War. Then I'll kill you in the field you're best at."
Ye Yang pointed at Angel Yan.
Then,
his lightning-filled eyes shifted to Angel Zhui and Angel Moi in the distance.
"You aliens are all a nuisance."
"Today, I'll kill one as a warning to a hundred."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Ye Yang roared:
"God's Sanction!"
BOOM!!!!
A muffled crash suddenly thundered through the clouds overhead.
A massive vortex opened in the cloud layer.
The enormous vortex was a full ten kilometers across!
It was as if the sky had collapsed.
Angel Yan readied herself, sword in hand, and stared up at the Sky Abyss.
Suddenly,
from deep within the abyss,
a silver wave of energy flickered, seemingly from an impossibly distant place.
Though it looked faint,
the next instant,
Angel Yan's expression changed dramatically!
She shouted to Angel Zhui and Angel Moi in the sky:
"Quick! Escape through a wormhole!"
[Since Ye Yang's form is based on Enel's, and he absorbed the power of Angel Yan's Infinite Thunder, his combat strength will far exceed Enel's original level.]
