Chapter 551

"Do you see that! This is the true power of me, the 'King of Conquerors'! Woman, submit to me, and the new world will be beneath my feet. You are fortunate enough to witness this!"

Upon hearing Bozelido's words, Luo Mio smiled and said to him.

"So, can you see me punch you hard in a second?"

"Huh?"

Just as Bozelido voiced his question.

Luo Mio's figure suddenly flashed.

Before Bozelido react, a golden, blazing streak appeared in his sight.

"Bang—!"

With a loud bang, Luo Mio appeared in front of 'Aiji Dahaka', and along with Luo Mio's previous attack, scorching golden flames struck 'Aiji Dahaka's' other mechanical arm, with golden sparks scattering around Luo Mio.

Before Bozelido could even react, he saw that a section of his Divine Machine Dragon arm had been blasted away.

"What?!?!?!"

Bozelido stared at the scene before him, his face contorted in disbelief.

Luo Mio's figure quietly returned to its original position.

Luo Mio's expression was indifferent, with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, as if she were mocking or ridiculing Bozelido.

"So, Mr. 'King of Conquerors,' did you foresee my actions four seconds from now?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's mocking words, Bozelido bulged and his face contorted. Luo Mio's words had insulted his pride and arrogance. However, now somewhat calmer, he used the ability "Wise Blood" he had obtained from the "Thousand Illusions" the instant he heard Luo Mio's words to foresee the next few seconds.

But in the next scene, all of Luo Mio's actions became distorted, blurry, and unobservable in his vision.

Upon seeing this Bozelido's mouth dropped open.

"How..."

But before Bozelido say anything, Luo Mio's figure suddenly appeared in front of him in the next instant.

And holding the blue, crystalline 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear', she thrust it at him with a fierce attack!

With Bozelido reacted instantly, instinctively maneuvering 'Aiki Dahaka' into the sky, narrowly avoiding Luo Mio's attack.

However, at the same time, 'Aiki Dahaka's' left leg was pierced and torn by Luo Mio.

Bozelido gritted his teeth in anger, then flew at high speed through the sky.

"Bingeing!"

Behind 'Aki Dahaka', the Divine Gear Array Pattern belonging to Bahamut appeared, and suddenly, five seconds later, Bozelido's speed became even faster.

With Fafnir and Eltizea's Wyrm, and the energy boost from both dragons, controlling them for extended periods was not a difficult task for him.

However, he would never know the details about his opponent...

Then, suddenly, Luo Mio an incredibly terrifying pressure from her entire body, and a golden light flashed in her azure eyes.

Then—

"Martial Immortal: Sword Forged with Glory"

Luo Mio's figure quietly floated in the air, and the golden, shimmering armor solidified and gathered around him.

Perhaps out of instinct, Bozelido manipulated the Special Armament 'Twin-headed Maw' on his shoulders and aimed it at Luo Mio on the ground.

"Nisnei——————!"

With a distorted, exaggerated facial expression, the 'Twin-headed Maw' suddenly unleashed a dazzling purple beam of light at Luo Mio.

The scorching high-temperature beam attack further heated up the surrounding space.

Then, under Bozelido's gaze, Luo Mio was struck head-on by his attack.

"Boom------!"

The moment the terrifying attack struck the ground, the powerful impact and gale blew everything around it away. Even Lux and Kurokushifa were a little further away, couldn't help but squint their eyes because of the gale.

Bozelido looked at the billowing dust he had blasted out and burst into laughter.

"See that? This is my current strength!"

However, Bozelido forgot a law, a law that will be triggered 100% regardless of the scene or location—the law of no harm even with smoke!

Then, a clear, melodious voice reached his ears.

"—Star Anchor, Cast!"

"Call out----!"

From the dust, a dazzling golden-red light began to emerge, and a golden figure burst forth from the dust.

Then, Luo Mio, wearing 'Star Armor', appeared before Bozelido.

Looking at Luo Mio's golden form, which resembled that of a goddess or a warrior, Bozelido couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment.

Luo Mio smiled gently at Bozelido.

"Bye now."

After saying that, Luo Mio pointed the 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear', which had turned into a dazzling gold, at Bozelido.

Upon seeing Luo Mio's initial attack, Bozelido instantly activated 'Wise Blood' to foresee Luo Mio's subsequent attack.

But...

A few seconds into the future foreseen by 'Wise Blood', all that Bozelido saw was distorted, blurry, and completely invisible to the naked eye.

"... How is this possible?!"

It should be noted that even Bahamut's near-limit, teleportation-like speed after 'Gluttony' was within 'Wise Blood's' expectations, but why was Luo Mio's figure completely undetectable!

Just as Bozelido was in the moment of his 'Wise Blood', Luo Mio's voice suddenly came from ahead.

"Predicting the future is indeed a very powerful skill, but it depends on who you're predicting it from."

"What?"

No sooner had Bozelido finished speaking than Luo Mio's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Luo Mio's azure eyes remained calm and serene throughout, while her light golden hair swayed slightly with Luo Mio movements.

He crossed his hands, holding the 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear', and then swung it down fiercely at Bozelido.

"Hunter's String - A Gale of Wind!"

"Zheng—!"

"Snap!"

The golden slash instantly shattered the Howling Roar barrier on 'Aiki Dahaka's' exterior, and then slammed the entire machine and Bozelido into the ground.

"Boom----!"

Bozelido then crashed heavily to the ground.

Then Luo Mio slowly floated down from the sky.

Seeing this Lux from afar, a bead of cold sweat quietly rolled down the side of Lux's cheek.

If Lux knew from the previous Rebel Army coup battles that Luo Mio possessed terrifying and powerful strength, now that he has witnessed it with his own eyes, he only feels that Luo Mio's strength is even more exaggerated than he imagined.

That extraordinary explosive power and speed, the terrifying output comparable to... or even surpassing the Mech Dragon and the Divine Machine Dragon, and that... mysterious Star Armor that shines and glitters like stars all over the body, and the golden spear that symbolizes the stars of the world.

Finally, there's the power to manipulate golden-red flames, similar to 'divine armor'.

This is a power that ordinary people like them cannot wield; even Kurokushifa, a survivor of the 'ruins,' probably couldn't do it.

However, this also made Lux somewhat curious about Luo Mio's identity.

Someone like Luo Mio wouldn't have been so unknown before.

But when Lux thought about how Luo Mio usually acted so low-key and was no different from an ordinary mortal, Lux felt relieved.

No matter how powerful Luo Mio is, the gentleness that emanates from her very being will never change.

Lux already knew this from Luo Mio's usual attitude towards Airi, Tirfa, Nokote, and their students.

As Lux watched the dust settle around Bozelido, suddenly—

"!"

Lux froze, for he spotted a very familiar figure in the dust.

That was Bozelido's 'Aiki Dahaka'!

In the next instant, 'Aki Dahaka' burst out of the dust!

At this moment, 'Aiki Dahaka's' appearance underwent a complete transformation. His hands and one leg, which had been smashed by Luo Mio, now grew out strangely like worms.

Unlike its original dark color, the newly grown limbs were a deathly white, covered with purple stripes.

Even the other foot is gradually turning white.

However, what made Lux, Kurokushifa shrink and their faces turn extremely ugly was the current appearance of Bozelido.

The once noble young master's appearance is now grotesque and twisted, no longer human. His golden hair has turned into an eerie, snow-white color, just like his skin, and his eyes have turned white.

Bozelido can no longer even be considered human.

"What... what exactly happened?"

Kurokushifa looked at the mutated Bozelido grim expression and muttered to herself.

"Could it be a side effect of the 'Thousand Illusions'?"

"I don't know either..."

What Lux and Kurokushifa didn't know was that at this moment, Bozelido had been nearly 100% corrupted and assimilated by 'Honkai Energy' and was about to become Shiit, along with 'Aigi Dahaka'.

Luo Mio looked at Bozelido, stroked her chin, and pondered slightly.

Even he never expected that initially, he wanted the Honkai Energy to slowly devour his life, torturing him until he finally died.

However, now, fueled by Bozelido's negative emotions, Honkai Energy has begun to grow wildly.

This was an ending that Luo Mio never expected.

At this moment, Bozelido is still miraculously able to maintain his own consciousness, although... he has fallen into a state of madness.

Bozelido stared at Luo Mio with his white eyes, then burst into laughter.

"Power! Power! Your power now belongs to me! Woman!"

Upon hearing Bozelido's words, Lux's face immediately paled.

Could it be that during their recent clash, 'Aiki Dahaka' accidentally bumped into Teacher Bianca?!

Then Lux yelled loudly at Luo Mio.

"Be careful, Teacher Bianca! The true nature of the 'Thousand Illusions' is the ability to steal other people's energy and divine equipment!"

However, while Lux was reminding Luo Mio, Bozelido had already rushed towards Luo Mio.

"Too slow!"

Just then, Bozelido, piloting the 'Aki Dahaka', arrived in front of Luo Mio extended his hand to her.

Then, a strange energy fluctuation appeared on the hand that 'Aki Dahaka' extended towards Luo Mio.

In Bozelido's vision, thick streams of energy, as large as water, flowed into Bozelido body.

Feeling the intense energy coursing through his body, Bozelido showed a very comfortable expression, and looked at Luo Mio with eyes full of desire.

"Woman, woman, I never imagined you possessed so much power."

Then, Bozelido opened his arms and spoke to Luo Mio.

"Come, submit to me, and I will become your master! I will lead you to rule the whole world."

But then, Bozelido noticed that Luo Mio's calm expression, which had remained unchanged throughout, had now changed.

But instead of showing the shock or fear he had imagined, he did not.

Rather, it's... playful, amusing, pitying, or even... admiring?

He had an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.

Then Luo Mio shook her head and said to Bozelido.
