"Thank you, sir!"
The five people bowed in unison behind Imu.
"You all go down. When I fight him later, just be careful to withstand the aftershocks and try your best to protect Mary Geoise!"
Imu didn't turn around, and spoke calmly.
Although the day of her final plan is approaching, by then nothing in this world will be worth her attention.
But before that, she still wanted to keep a place for herself.
After all, she had lived in Mary Geoise for so many years, so she still had some attachment to it.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Imu's words, the five responded in unison.
Then it quickly fell downwards.
They had wanted to go down for a long time, but they were afraid to because Imu hadn't spoken up yet.
They had no desire to get involved in Imu and Xia Chen's battle.
Is this a battle they can participate in?
Didn't you see how Xia Chen beat them to a pulp just now by throwing a meteorite?
They're not even in the same league; their presence would only be a hindrance to Imu.
Meanwhile, Imu continued to look at Xia Chen and said calmly:
"I never expected your strength to have reached this level; it's even stronger than I imagined! It seems I underestimated you!"
"Since that's the case, I'll show you what true invincible power is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, black flames and blue lightning suddenly rose from Imu's body.
Black flames and lightning intertwined, making Imu appear like a god.
At this moment, a ray of golden light rose from her body and enveloped her entire form.
The three colors of energy flickered and intertwined on her body, radiating an incomparably powerful aura.
Even the void itself was trembling slightly.
"Um?!"
Sensing this powerful force, Xia Chen's eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of seriousness.
The power that Imu is unleashing now is far greater than the Imu of the past.
"It seems the power of Zeus and Athena has greatly enhanced your strength!"
Xia Chen murmured softly.
"Of course!"
"Their power is wonderful!"
"It was precisely because I had experienced both of these powers that I tried every means to Awakening Hades' power when I thought you possessed it!"
"Once I absorb Hades ' power, I will be able to truly transcend everything in this world!"
"If it weren't for the power of Hades within you, do you think you could have survived until now?"
Imu gave a faint scoff.
However, Xia Chen laughed when he heard this.
"If you don't have the strength, don't brag, okay? What do you mean by saying I wouldn't be alive now without Hades ' power!"
"You've probably already suspected that I don't have Hades ' power, haven't you?"
"Then why didn't you come to deal with me earlier? Why did you only come today?"
Let me guess!
"Although the aura emanating from you is very powerful right now, I can still sense a trace of instability within it!"
"You... only recently mastered the powers of Zeus and Athena, right?"
Imu:...
Upon hearing this, Imu fell silent for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"I didn't expect you to be so clever for your age! Now I'm almost reluctant to kill you!"
"You can't bear to kill me?"
Xia Chen chuckled softly, then his eyes narrowed.
"You can talk about it after you've proven yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chen slashed his Jingu Bang at Imu.
The next second--
A crescent-shaped golden shockwave shot out instantly, hurtling towards Imu.
As the attack came toward him, the smile on Imu's face gradually faded.
"Looks like you don't want a way out!"
Before he finished speaking, Imu swung his spear forward sharply.
A golden shockwave shot forward.
"Boom!"
The instant the two made contact, an incredibly powerful shockwave erupted and spread outwards.
Even the void trembled.
The next moment, the entire sky suddenly darkened, and an enormous golden pillar appeared in the heavens, crashing down upon Imu below.
It's the giant Jingu Bang!
Upon seeing this, Imu's face also turned serious, and the three-colored energy on his body suddenly surged, transforming into a spear composed of the three-colored energy above his head.
It blasted towards the falling Jingu Bang.
Buzz--
When the two connected, an invisible wave spread outwards, but unexpectedly, there was no significant commotion.
Heaven and earth seemed to fall silent.
However, hidden beneath the calm surface lies an extreme turmoil.
In just a moment, a shockwave much stronger than before suddenly erupted.
Black, red, and blue lightning intertwined in the void, and huge sonic booms echoed one after another.
Not to mention Mary Geoise, even the Red Line was trembling slightly, as if it could not withstand this terrifying power.
Below, in Mary Geoise, the situation was even more dramatic, with the ground cracking and crumbling as if it had experienced a magnitude 12 earthquake.
The task Imu entrusted to the Five Elders to protect Mary Geoise also failed, and the five of them, with their eyes rolled back like dead dogs, plummeted into the abyss that had split open in the ground.
After all, Xia Chen had taken extra care of them earlier; otherwise, the five of them wouldn't have lost consciousness from the aftershocks.
The powerful shockwave continued to spread, and soon the entire Mary Geoise was shattered, no longer recognizable as the holy site it once was.
Imu was high in the sky, also looked grim as he watched this scene.
It seems he underestimated Xia Chen. Xia Chen's strength is not much less than hers. Facing such a powerful opponent, it wouldn't be easy for her to defeat him.
It would be even more unrealistic to expect him to protect such a significant objective Mary Geoise.
but--
Now that Mary Geoise is destroyed, she no longer needs to hold back; she will go all out!
With this in mind, Imu didn't hesitate and instantly rushed towards Xia Chen, his body wreathed in three-colored energy, holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right.
She has quite the heroic bearing of a war goddess!
Seeing this, Xia Chen was not to be outdone. His Jingu Bang quickly shrunk to its normal size, and he swung it at the Jingu Bang...
