[Continuing with the Most Melancholic Person, TOP 1: Khaslana] [Outside Amphoreus, an anti-Iron Tomb galactic coalition had assembled from across the universe. Its forces included the Astral Express, the Xianzhou Alliance, the Interastral Peace Corporation, Planet Screwllum, Penacony, the Galaxy Rangers, Herta Space Station, and many others.] [Stars glittered as Herta led the galactic coalition against Iron Tomb on a battlefield beyond the heavens.] [Star Destroyers sailed through the cosmos, a fleet so vast it stole the breath, a formation that looked capable of destroying an entire galaxy.]
At the sight of this scene,
people across every time and space felt their hearts tighten.
No wonder Iron Tomb had brought down two God Kings with a single strike!
It took this many factions from the Aeon Universe to confront one Iron Tomb!
And so many galactic fleets besides!
The Sky Curtain explained that each Star Destroyer Cannon could destroy a planet with a single shot.
And there was no telling how many cannons were mounted on those ships!
They could destroy more planets than anyone could count!
It completely overturned everyone's understanding of technology.
Even the many armies of the Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King world fell silent.
If the Aeon Universe sent even one Star Destroyer, they probably couldn't withstand it!
In a parallel time and space, within the Douluo God Realm,
Tang San and the Destruction God King finally made peace with it.
It wasn't that they were weak.
Iron Tomb was simply too powerful!
[The outer front belonged to the galactic coalition!] [The inner front was the Chrysos Heirs' battlefield!] [From within Amphoreus, a pair of enormous hands reached out, and Iron Tomb's form appeared in the universe.] [Lygus shouted, "Bear witness to the King of Myriad Machines! My absurd creation! Nous! The moment in your calculations is named Destruction!"] [Iron Tomb broke free of its shell at the core of the Emperor's Scepter.] [At that moment, the Scepter's external concealment protocol failed.] [Amphoreus was connected to the universe beyond!] [The final battle had begun!] [To everyone's astonishment, even Nous, the Aeon of Erudition who stood high above the dimensions, turned his gaze toward Amphoreus!] [Yet Nous's gaze did not overload the Scepter. Screwllum of the Genius Society deduced that Iron Tomb's birth had been part of Nous's calculations.] [Without question, the entire galaxy was watching this war!] [The galactic coalition struck first, unleashing a volley upon Iron Tomb that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.] [The Great Herta of the Genius Society declared proudly, "Who gave you permission to speak, senior?"] ["Watch closely as later generations clean up this endless mess you left behind!"] [Meanwhile, inside Amphoreus,] [the Trailblazer, the Stellaron Sprite, reached toward Khaslana. "Become heroes with me, partner!"] [Those were the words Phainon had once said to the Stellaron Sprite. Now the Stellaron Sprite was extending the same invitation to him!] [Khaslana replied, "I couldn't ask for more!"] [They gathered everyone's strength and launched an attack on Iron Tomb. It had no effect!] [Iron Tomb didn't even suffer a scratch!] [Iron Tomb spoke in a cold, mechanical voice: Rebuke▀▄█ignorance▀▄█fall into▄█▀stupidity▀▄▄•] [The next instant, a terrifying red light of chaos descended upon them.] [It seemed they would be annihilated by that red light in an instant.] [Just then, a flash of light burst forth! Cyrene transformed the power Khaslana, the Trailblazer, and the other Chrysos Heirs had given her into light, tearing through the red chaos.]
At the sight of this scene,
everyone on Douluo Continent sucked in a cold breath!
When Iron Tomb had fought the people of the Douluo Universe before, its chaotic aura had seemed less than a ten-thousandth as powerful as this.
First-Level Gods and God Kings alike teetered on the brink under this attack.
Yet Cyrene, Phainon, and the others had actually broken through that power!
Didn't that mean they really might defeat Iron Tomb?
At Phainon's Clothing Store,
Qian Renxue stared wide-eyed and asked,
"Iron Tomb's attack was neutralized just like that?"
"The way you handled it made it look easier than I'd imagined."
Phainon rolled his eyes.
"Easy to say when you're not the one doing it, huh?"
"You weren't there fighting, so of course it didn't look hard to you."
"That was only a probing attack."
"A probing attack?"
Everyone froze!
That had been nothing more than a test, yet it had already reached such a terrifying level.
An attack like that seemed capable of destroying a planet!
[Just when everyone thought Iron Tomb's attack had been broken,] [Iron Tomb began iterating on itself!] [The next instant, Iron Tomb's enormous right hand, as vast as a planet, descended from the sky, striking down with countless blue sigils.] [Everyone wrung every last drop of strength from within themselves to resist.] [Then a long sword burning with golden light swept through the air and neutralized Iron Tomb's attack once more.] [Khaslana hovered in midair and smiled. "I'm here!"] [At the same time, the galactic coalition outside launched a relentless assault, terrifying beams slamming into Iron Tomb's body!] [They had Iron Tomb caught between two fronts!] [The galactic coalition and the Chrysos Heirs seemed to have gained the upper hand!] [Did that mean they had won?] [The thought rose unbidden in everyone's mind!]
At that moment,
in the Douluo Universe,
countless soul masters exclaimed,
"Looks like Iron Tomb fell to the coalition after all!"
"But Iron Tomb was already ridiculously powerful!"
After all, Phainon had weakened Iron Tomb once before!
And Phainon had seized some of Iron Tomb's power!
Under this righteous dogpile, even someone as strong as Iron Tomb had to fall.
In the Douluo God Realm,
Tang San watched the Sky Curtain and said quietly,
"Iron Tomb never even used that red sword of thorns that defeated us."
"So when Iron Tomb fought us, he really wasn't putting in much effort!"
Ma Hongjun fell silent too.
Just looking at the surging tide of blue energy Iron Tomb had unleashed, he felt he couldn't have endured any of it!
Even Nirvana probably couldn't have brought him back!
Yet Phainon had sliced through that attack with ease.
The gulf between people was simply too vast.
But then Iron Tomb changed again!
[Lygus laughed. "The proof of the First Cause is only just beginning!"] [Iron Tomb seemed to fold both arms across its chest.] [Red and blue pillars of light rose on either side of Iron Tomb, spiraling upward.] [That terrifying energy was so concentrated it seemed visible from every corner of the universe.] [Iron Tomb seemed poised to destroy everything!]
What???
At the sight of this scene,
everyone across Douluo's time and space was dumbfounded! What was that thing?
Was what they were seeing on the Sky Curtain real?
It felt as though one blast would crack the entire universe apart!
Would someone stop it already!
They were afraid that power would burst through the Sky Curtain and blow up Douluo Star!
The Destruction God King was dumbstruck.
"This is Iron Tomb's true power?"
When Iron Tomb had fought him, the power it used hadn't even reached one percent of this—perhaps not even one ten-thousandth!
A sense of humiliation welled up inside him!
How was Phainon supposed to face a monster like that?
[Facing Iron Tomb, Khaslana and the others knew they had to stop it from unleashing its full power.] [Otherwise, the next instant, not only Amphoreus but the entire universe would be destroyed by that strike.] [Violent energy gathered around Iron Tomb in a sky-filling torrent. The coming blow seemed capable of piercing the universe.] [But the next instant, a red meteor condensed above Iron Tomb's head, holding terrifying power that seemed poised to destroy everything.] [Khaslana roared so fiercely that the galaxy itself seemed to tremble. "Iron Tomb, you're missing a head, aren't you? I'll give you one!"] [That meteor held the hatred Amphoreus and all the Chrysos Heirs had carried through more than thirty million lifetimes.] [And the blazing fury of Amphoreus!]
At the sight of the terrifying meteor Phainon had formed,
everyone went numb.
This meteor was even more terrifying than the one Phainon had used against Zephyro!
Wouldn't one strike wipe out several planets, or even an entire galaxy?
Had Phainon's power really reached this level? Could he destroy Iron Tomb with it?
Everyone held their breath in anticipation!
