"Boom!"
The moment the two came into contact, the heavens and earth seemed to lose their color, and the whole world turned gray.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, showing no sign of flowing.
The next second--
An incredibly powerful shockwave spread outwards from the point of contact.
"Puff!!"
The Five Elders were the first to be hit and naturally suffered the most. They all spat out mouthfuls of blood as their bodies crashed down towards Mary Geoise at incredible speed.
In the blink of an eye, they landed on the ground.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar followed, instantly creating five massive craters in the ground. The entire Mary Geoise trembled from the force of the impact.
Countless Celestial Dragons were terrified, staring at the enormous black shadow above, their bodies trembling, and shouting:
"Someone come here! Someone come quickly!"
Having always lived a life of luxury, they had never experienced anything like this before; the enormous meteorite overhead brought them immense pressure.
In an instant, countless members of the Cipher Pol appeared in front of these Celestial Dragons, protecting them behind them.
Looking up at the meteorite above, feeling the oppressive aura emanating from it, even though they were professionally trained, they did not show their emotions.
But their biological instincts still caused their legs to tremble slightly.
But they cannot escape!
Their duty is to protect the Celestial Dragons, even if it costs them their lives!
Even if they are powerless against the meteorite above their heads, at least let them die before the Celestial Dragons.
As the meteorite drew closer, its immense pressure caused cracks to appear in the castle, and the ground also began to split open.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air and slowly raised his palm.
"Boom!"
The next moment--
A blue energy wave shot out from his hand, hurtling towards the meteorite.
Soon after, the blue energy wave landed on the meteorite, but this time it did not cause the same huge impact as the Five Elders had done before.
The blue energy wave created ripples upon impact with the meteorite before disappearing completely, as if it had no effect whatsoever.
A few breaths later, the blue energy wave disappeared, and the meteorite continued to fall downwards.
One breath, two breaths...
Suddenly, the surface of the meteorite cracked open, revealing countless tiny fissures from which countless beams of blue light emerged.
The next second--
The massive meteorite exploded with a deafening roar, shattering into countless fragments, while an incredibly powerful shockwave emanated from it.
This energy shockwave was many times stronger than the previous one.
It would cause immense destruction if it landed on Mary Geoise.
However, the figure above simply waved his hand, and a golden defensive shield appeared in the sky.
The incoming shockwave struck the golden defensive shield, creating ripples of energy, but the shield remained as stable as a mountain, showing no signs of breaking.
Then the figure waved his hand again, and the rubble in the sky exploded once more, turning into fine stone dust that dissipated into the air with the wind.
The figure slowly raised her head, her figure graceful, her long golden hair flowing down her back, and her face exquisitely beautiful!
And in the sky above where her gaze was directed, a figure stood atop a golden Flying Nimbus.
It was Xia Chen!
At this moment, he looked at the woman below, a strange glint in his eyes, and asked in a calm voice:
" Imu?"
"It's me!"
The woman smiled slightly and answered softly.
Upon hearing Imu admit his identity, Xia Chen asked again:
"What is your current appearance like?"
The current Imu is completely different from the Imu that Xia Chen saw in the 'past'.
Her figure and face were completely different, even her aura was entirely different. That's why Xia Chen asked her earlier if she was Imu.
Because they are not the same person at all.
"Heh~"
Upon hearing Imu chuckled and said:
"Strictly speaking, Xia Chen, this is the first time I've met you!"
"The question you're asking is probably why I look different from my 'past' self, right?"
Imu paused for a moment, then looked on with admiration and said:
"To be honest, your strength is beyond my imagination. Since you said that, it means that the 'past' me has already been killed by you, right?"
"To have such strength at less than twenty years old, I'm very curious about how you cultivate!"
"That's a bit unreasonable!"
"As for my current appearance... it's Athena's appearance!"
"Well, isn't it beautiful!"
Imu spread her arms wide, displaying her graceful figure to her heart's content.
But Xia Chen felt a chill run down his spine when he saw this scene.
From Vegito, he learned that Imu, who lived eight hundred years ago, was a man.
However, whether it was Vivi before or Athena now, they both have female bodies!
This... made Xia Chen suspect that Imu might have some kind of unusual fetish!
Otherwise, since he absorbed the power of Zeus and Athena, there's no reason why he could only transform into Athena's appearance, right?
What about Zeus?
In the end, Zeus was simply not worthy, wasn't he?
Just then, Imu suddenly spoke up and asked:
"Your fruit isn't Hades Fruit, is it?"
"I absorbed the power of Athena and Zeus, so I have some understanding of Hades. His power is indeed considerable, but it's definitely not on your level!"
"I never said I ate the Hades Fruit!"
Xia Chen said calmly.
"Do these things matter to you? You're going to die here today anyway!"
"Hahaha..."
Upon hearing Imu burst into loud laughter, which lasted for a long time before he stopped and said:
"You're kidding me! Do you really think... you have that kind of ability?"
"Whether you have the ability or not, you'll find out once you try!"
Having said that, Xia Chen said no more, and golden flames rose up from his body.
At this moment, Xia Chen, enveloped in golden flames, resembled a god!
With a thought, countless flames began to swirl around him.
The next second, a massive pillar of fire suddenly erupted, shooting towards Imu below...
