A Fight to the Death
Lu Li took out all the speed-boosting items, strength-boosting items, magic explosion items, and life-sacrifice explosion items, and placed them on his little assistant. Then, through dream magic, he imprinted all of these items onto the cloned crows, and then made those crows start to self-destruct.
Several dark, crystal-like objects floated around Lu Li, continuously providing him with magical energy. These crystal-like objects, to put it nicely, were crystallized magical energy generated by Lu Li's own body; to put it bluntly, they were the waste expelled by his own body.
Lu Li's true form resides within his own Dreamlands, absorbing shadow energy from the void through the Dreamlands and his own abilities to continuously strengthen himself. After undergoing the baptism of the world, Lu Li's true form's status has been elevated once again, Shadow Magic he possesses is extremely pure. Therefore, some of the shadow energy he absorbs needs to be refined.
The result of refining is that a large amount of impure shadow energy is expelled from the body. The body is like a picky Diner, absorbing only the purest part and expelling the rest. Some of this energy forms this magical crystal.
These magic crystals are worthless to Lu Li's physical body, but to other shadow creatures, they are supreme treasures, containing an astonishing amount of shadow energy. In the world of cultivation, they might not be worth top-grade spirit stones, but getting mid-grade or high-grade spirit stones would be no problem.
As an avatar of his main body, Lu Li has an abundance of these things, enough to satisfy any demand. Supported by this magical power, some one-time-use items have become inexhaustible, which is one of the reasons why Lu Li dares to come and tackle what he has rated as an A-level creature.
There's a saying among the Technology Church: "If you can't kill someone, it's not because the bomb is bad, it's just because the explosive yield isn't high enough!"
Lu Li's realism couldn't materialize those powerful props, so if the quality wasn't enough, quantity would make up for it. No matter how weak the firecrackers were, if there were enough of them, they could still kill people.
An endless stream of crows, like a black torrent, rushed towards the distant god, then merged together and exploded in various ways. Finally, the dark crows formed a sphere more than ten meters high, and Lu Li far away before they all detonated together.
The greatest sound is silent; the terrifying impact caused three surrounding buildings to collapse, but fortunately, they were all properties of the Gale Society, so it didn't matter. A gale swept through, making Lu Li's wizard robes flutter loudly, and more and more crows spawned around Lu Li before flying towards the center of the explosion.
An Arc Light flashed, and a somewhat disheveled god leaped out of the explosion's epicenter. The violent explosion had destabilized the surrounding spatial structure, and the god's Arc Light ability was, after all, new to the craft. Even though He could utilize this ability to the fullest extent, comparable to His own powerful abilities, the Arc Light failed several times in the face of spatial instability.
"You lowly insect! You have angered me!" the god said coldly, and then saw more crows surround Him.
Another loud bang, and when the god reappeared, his dust armor was cracked layer by layer, with small pieces of dust constantly falling off. Although more dust quickly covered it, it showed his limits.
If a crow of this magnitude can shatter your armor, then a crow of even greater magnitude can completely shatter your armor and injure you. Furthermore, Lu Li began applying his scientific knowledge to explosions.
The crows don't necessarily explode simultaneously; the intermittent stacking and compression of the impact force can increase the explosive power to a higher level. Also, the arrangement of the crows, tightly packed together, allows a large amount of the impact force to cancel each other out. A reasonable arrangement can increase the power by several levels.
By modeling the mathematical space and calculating the explosion timing of the impact force, and applying it to the crow explosion, the explosion was truly transformed into a force, increasing the explosive power several times over for the same number of crows.
With a series of flashes of Arc Light, the God broke through the encirclement of crows and appeared not far from Lu Li. Then, he threw a punch, and the Invisible Impact, carrying his own power, shattered Lu Li's figure into pieces. A small explosion occurred, causing slight instability in the spatial structure, and countless crows surrounded the God.
"Boom!!"
A terrifying explosion rang out, but the outward impact was much smaller than before. The explosive power was not reduced; on the contrary, it was much stronger because more of the power was concentrated at the center of the explosion.
Lu Li stood on the rooftop of a building in the distance. The colors of the magic crystals around him were becoming dull. Even with such immense magic power, it would gradually be depleted after such endless consumption.
Beside Lu Li, Shadow B sat on the edge of the railing, whistling and swinging his legs. Although Lu Li could also use Envy's perception interference ability, when it came to blocking perception, Shadow B, this mutated individual, was the most powerful.
"Boss, is this really okay?" Shadow B whistled for a while before saying, "On the surface, he's fighting to the death alone, while his real body is hiding here with my help, playing games with him using illusions. That's one thing, but what's the point of sending someone to cut off his cheat codes? And that's not all, you even sent someone to poison the faith (or rather, the beliefs) of his brainwashed fans."
"Boss, you're so mean." Shadow B chuckled mischievously. "And Boss, my perception shield couldn't interfere with him for long. His perception ability keeps improving. If you weren't here, I would have thought he was the main character. Wait a minute! Good heavens, Boss, you're the Boss! So, does that mean that guy really is the main character?"
"If you don't shut up, you can forget about coming out next time," Lu Li said calmly.
"I understand, I understand." Shadow B pulled on his mouth, conjuring a zipper to seal it. He clasped his hands together, staring wide-eyed at Lu Li, looking like a good boy.
"Boom boom boom!"
Another series of explosions rang out, and an invisible shockwave emanated from God's body from all directions, blasting away all the crows that tried to get close. Just as Shadow B had said, God's abilities were rapidly improving, or rather, becoming more aligned with his abilities.
After using the Invisible Impact superpower multiple times, God finally combined it with his own abilities and sublimated it to form this move: Shinra Tensei - Pseudo.
Furthermore, he also possesses the ability to Arc Light. Slight spatial structural oscillations can no longer interfere with him. He can even briefly linger within the Arc Light, transforming it into: Divine Might - Low-End Version.
The deity resided in Zhang Yanqige's body. At this moment, a piece of flesh fell from Zhang Yanqige's cracked face, revealing the white mist within. This symbolized that Zhang Yanqige's Ability Synchronization was being rapidly absorbed, and the perception abilities derived from this ability were also rapidly improving.
In His words, God is bearing the power of others, constantly becoming stronger, and all his flaws are being compensated for in this process, so that his strength truly becomes A-, rather than being forcibly increased by external forces as before.
