Volume Five: Return from the Other Shore - Breaking God's Two Wings (Part Two)

"Phew... phew... whoosh... I escaped death~~~"

Little Ying finally removed the protective bubble. Although it was still as hot as a steamer outside after the giant Lycoris radiata had just exploded, it was somewhat bearable.

This is terrible, Xiao Ye!

Moaning, Little Ying swayed as she stood up and leaned against a wall that was half melted.

If you keep playing like this, people might--

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, get out of the way, go, go, go, go!!!!"

"--I'm going to die!!!"

Thump!!!

A pale red crystal ball, about the size of a campervan, fell from the sky and landed squarely where Little Ying had been standing just seconds before!

With a crack, the crystal sphere shattered.

What was revealed were two girls, a little girl and a loli, sprawled together in a very awkward position. Their eyes were swirling like mosquito coils, and their skirts were casually rolled up. The little girl with black hair and a single ponytail was wearing a very mature-looking black lace thong, while the long-haired loli with pink gradient hair wasn't wearing panties—wait, not wearing any!?

"A crazy girl suddenly appeared? And she's so pretty and pink--wait, what am I thinking! Look closely, aren't these Little Butterfly and Xiaozhizhu? No, what's my relationship with them? They're Xiao Ye's daughters, and I'm Xiao Ye's... friend? And I'm younger than Xiao Ye... so they should call me... aunt? No, auntie?"

The little spider swayed as it stood up, clutching its head and seemingly cursing. Then, Little Butterfly also groaned and propped herself up.

"Gulp... that idiot woman..."

"Where am I...? Huh? Who are you...?"

"Call me Auntie!"

""Clam!?""

"No, no, what am I saying! It's me! Your Little Ying- jie!... Or should I call you Aunt Little Ying? Call me whatever you like!"

"Oh, it's you! We were all so worried about you! I'm so glad you're alright! Since you said you'd call me whatever you want... how about Auntie? Sounds really cool!" Little Butterfly was quite cheerful.

"What's so cool about you, you [beep--]!" Spider-Man blurted out.

"Wait, am I hallucinating? The quiet and cute little spider is actually swearing?"

"... Ah! Um, big sister? Are you alright...?"

(What the hell is going on?! I was just thrown out by that bastard Ye and now I'm sandwiched between two idiots! Ye and Madam are having a big fight, and I could get caught in it at any moment. It's too dangerous here, we can't stay a moment longer! We should call the two of them first--)

Buzzing-----

A strange sound suddenly rang out.

It evokes the sigh of the Deep Sea monster.

Buzz--rumble--buzz--

The three of them stopped moving simultaneously, a strange sense of oppression spreading through their hearts. The strange noise seemed to resonate with their hearts, awakening the fear deep within their consciousness.

"What's that sound... it's terrifying!"

"Where did that come from...?"

The three looked around but couldn't pinpoint the direction of the sound. The buzzing came from all directions, as if the entire space had become a giant sound generator.

Look over there!!!

Little Butterfly suddenly pointed to a very distant place... The other two looked and were immediately stunned.

It was probably the Gloria City, the edge of the city, that suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light, even covering the crimson stain that the sky had been stained by the explosion of the giant Lycoris radiata, making it incredibly magnificent!

Upon witnessing such a breathtaking scene, Little Ying was moved to write this:

"On the golden mountain in Beijing~~ its light shines in all directions~~ Meow meow meow, that's the golden sun~~~"

"What are you singing?"

"A song that Xiao Ye sometimes hums."

"How dare you ruin the atmosphere!"

Just as Spider-Man was making his rant--

An enormous golden hand rose slowly from the edge of the city.

The enormous light and shadow covered half the city, with its outermost edge reaching the Cathedral of the True God.

Considering that the giant hand itself is located roughly on the edge of the city... its coverage area is as large as the entire Gloria City.

Directly below it, a purple lightning bolt, clearly visible even from this distance, erupted, transforming into a purple beam that shot straight into the sky.

Then, the giant hand clenched tightly into the void—

The second Super Divine Spell, Sovereign's Grasp, is the strongest offensive divine spell. Its effect is to crush everything within a certain range centered on the user, along with space itself, leaving no room for struggle.

The attack range is described as "a certain range," but in reality, this "certain range" is enough to cover the entire Gloria.

Fortunately, the monster unleashed this deadly attack on the outskirts of the city, so the affected area covered half of Gloria and the suburbs outside the city, an area equivalent to half of Gloria, totaling an area larger than Beijing on Earth.

The ancient architectural complex that had existed for 1,500 years, the bedrock that had been fixed for tens of millions of years, the slowly flowing air, and several of the dozens of shelters that housed the city's Big Figure were all crushed along with the entire space.

If someone were to stare intently, they would surely perceive a gigantic glass sphere detached from space, with translucent cracks spreading across it until the entire sphere twisted and caved inward, vanishing into nothingness. Space repairs itself rapidly, but objects within it are not included. Reflected by what appears to be countless shattered crystals, a spherical void, as if scooped out with an ice cream scoop, exudes a powerful presence, overlapping with a colossal, pitch-black crater exceeding the length and width of the entire city.

The giant crater was a perfect sphere, with smooth, flawless walls, and everything that had once existed in this space was gone.

Except for that monster.

It streaked across the edge of the giant crater, landing on its wings which had returned to normal size, and countless eyes scanned its surroundings.

"No vital signs, confirmed."

The cold, mechanical sound suddenly stopped, and the rustling sound became extremely grating.

"--Warning! Unknown massive energy source, proceed with extreme speed--"

Rumble rumble rumble!!!!!

Before it could finish speaking, the massive kick struck its side squarely, the overwhelming force sending it hurtling straight into the center of the crater! A frenzy of purple lightning rippled through the atmosphere, causing the ground at the crater's edge to collapse instantly. And amidst the exploding hurricane, a purple meteor was rapidly pursuing it!

"Chirp--!?"

Xiao Wu was unharmed.

The moment the Sovereign's Grasp was activated, Sin Annihilation told her the key points for dealing with this move.

Everything within range will be completely annihilated along with space; all defenses are futile, and even the strongest body will turn to nothingness.

Don't try to withstand it head-on—in other words, just avoid it.

Li Bai Shi 4: Li Guang Ying Kui is Xiao Wu's fastest movement skill. Thanks to this move, she was able to circle around the crushed "sphere" with a circumference comparable to the entire Gloria and return to the monster's side in three seconds!

"You let your guard down in the last ten seconds? You bastard!!!!"

Each punch Xiao Wu threw left a bright purple arc in the air, and at the other end of the arc was the monster's body, battered by repeated blows! Each strike left a deep dent, which was immediately replaced by a new one before it could even heal! The monster's shrill screams continued, but this was far from enough to kill it completely! Ten seconds, just ten more seconds. Although ten seconds was a long time for Xiao Wu at high speed, it was still too short here!

Make up your mind.

Xiao Wu deflected the holy light scattering from the lotus-shaped face with a palm strike, followed by an elbow strike that bent its body into an arc. In a flash of lightning, she teleported beneath the monster! The lightning patterns on the rest of its body dimmed instantly, but those on its right foot grew brighter and brighter, like a star illuminating everything! Her power, the power of Sin Annihilation, was all concentrated in this one kick!

It was the last ten seconds that led to defeat.

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Or, do it yourself--

"Fly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Break the wings of God!

The immense force was compressed to its limit, and the right foot sliced through the ionized air, striking the monster squarely in the back! At that moment, it was as if the entire space was compressed by the overwhelming force of the kick, like a giant spring being pushed to its limit, the resulting elasticity instantly propelling the monster high into the sky! The shimmering blue rocket broke the sound barrier repeatedly, leaving a massive gaping hole hundreds of kilometers in diameter in the pierced clouds! Looking down through the gap, Gloria and the crater below appeared only the size of a fingernail!

"Style 195-- "

High in the sky, directly above the monster's trajectory, the strongest creature, operating at full power, had already arrived and was poised to strike!

"--Earth-shattering, heaven-shattering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Ghost God's Fist struck the center of the monster's torso, and the impact of the two massive kinetic energies from high above caused a gaping hole to burst open in the monster's chest! The plasma stream that shot out with the downward punch resembled an inverted celestial river, instantly piercing through the sky and forming a gigantic waterfall of light thousands of feet thick! And within this waterfall of light, where mortals would die at the mere sight of it, the monster and Xiao Wu hurtling towards the ground at dozens of times the speed of sound!

--Not enough!

The monster's vitality is incredibly strong!

Even such severe damage cannot guarantee the complete removal of its mobility!!!

We must deliver another blow!!!!

"Sin Annihilation! I'm afraid not only me, but you too will have to overdraw your power!"

"It's alright, Xiao Wu- mai—take everything I have!!!"

An eruption of power aided by the Sin Annihilation!

Pushing your own limits by overdrawing your life force!

Just to break the wings of this god!!!

The monster's body, pierced and worn down by the cascading light, became extremely grotesque, bursting with fissures, each containing countless wildly rotating eyes! The large hole in the center of its torso writhed violently, being filled by a newly formed crimson giant eye! For the first time, the mechanical voice let out an emotional roar, and crimson light streamed from every eye on the monster's body!

"A major overhaul—once again—Lord—I entrust myself to you—"

The instant the two figures crossed paths--

"--Divine Descent: Burial!!!!"

The divine light sliced through the torrent of light.

But Xiao Wu bravely stepped forward to fight back!

It doesn't matter if you hit or strike.

It doesn't matter if I kick or prick.

It doesn't matter if I take a picture or if I collide with something.

All techniques are merely external manifestations.

Eliminate the differences between moves, forget the dazzling techniques.

Tracing back to the source, until we find the most fundamental "attack"

This is the decisive blow.

If this ultimate purity is refined to its absolute limit and infused with absolute power and speed...

"Style 200-- "

Because it is not any move, it can be any move.

"--The Great Secret Technique-- "

Everything external is discarded, leaving only pure "power".

This is --

"--Heavenly Instantaneous Annihilation!!!!"

Clang!!!!!!

The purple plasma stream that stretched from heaven to earth vanished in an instant.

Only two figures remained, almost touching the ground.

Those were Xiao Wu and the monsters passing by.

The monster was above, Xiao Wu was about a hundred meters below it.

Xiao Wu lost her speed, Sin Annihilation separated from her body and reformed, leaving both of them in a state of extreme exhaustion.

As for monsters--

"Grrrr--jarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

The wings symbolize the majesty of God.

Wings that have never been injured,

Always keep your wings pure white.

The more it is struck, the more its wings, the more eyes it opens.

Under the combined full force of Xiao Wu and Sin Annihilation, it was finally broken at the root!

The two enormous white objects, having lost their support, disintegrated into countless fragments of light that scattered in all directions.

It illuminated someone who had just returned from the moon.

"Six seconds left... Thank you for your hard work, I think that's enough."

She gently caught the nearly unconscious Xiao Wu and Sin Annihilation, then looked up at the monster that had completely lost its ability to move.

A rune floated in front of her.

Let's put an end to this farce...

With her command, the dazzling runes overlapped with the monster, locking onto the coordinates.

If "Mirror Flower Water Moon" means throwing people or things to the moon, then what she's doing now is exactly the opposite.

"Golden Moon, Moonset!"

Thank goodness, we finally defeated Boss #1, and after defeating the Lady, this volume will truly be over. It's time for Yu He and Gustav to take the lead in Volume 6.

What's going on lately... Everything was fine before, but recently, starting from New Year's Eve, people have been criticizing me in the comments section every day, ruining my mood for the New Year holiday.
