The Heavenly King's Defeat (5K single update)
Experiencing the unique perspective granted by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, the Giant Shark's resentment soared like a hypertensive patient attempting suicide by wrist-cutting. So, who would die next? Needless to say! It would be Jeanne d'Arc, who dared to insult him!
"You bitch! Die!" The Giant Shark's massive hand struck straight at Jeanne d'Arc, aiming to kill her beyond any hope of survival!
With a loud bang, Bai Mo stood in front of Jeanne d'Arc of Arc, and the collision of their arms created a huge shockwave. Under Bai Mo's deliberate control, Jeanne d'Arc was blown behind him. Bai Mo stood in front of the Giant Shark, his face pale, as if he would die at any moment, but he blocked the Giant Shark's attack.
"Giant Shark, don't rush, our battle isn't over yet, why are you already looking for a new love?"
Bai Mo's tone was relaxed, but this relaxed tone only further enraged the Giant Shark Giant Shark, which sneered:
"Yeah, it was my fault. I haven't even shattered you into pieces yet, how could I be half-hearted? Come on, since you're asking for death, then I'll grant your wish!"
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception at Bai Mo, as if trying to see through his soul.
The Giant Shark unleashed its immense power, causing the Daichi to tremble, the sea to surge, and the rain to pour down. On the face of the Giant Shark Heavenly King, the final battle markings resembled burning wildfire.
"Boy, I'll tell you one thing, so you'll die knowing why. Your Magnetic Field Power originated from that ghostly system merging a Source of Power with your soul, giving you this Magnetic Field Power."
But you are different from us born that way. The system left a contingency plan: the Source of Power is not fused with your soul, but rather pieced together. This means that it is distinct from your soul and can be severed.
The Giant Shark is poised to strike, and the Mad Giant Shark in my hand seems to be roaring menacingly.
"So don't even dream that your Primordial Spirit will be immortal like those powerful beings. I'll make sure you die a swift and complete death!"
Faced with this irresistible force, Bai Mo remained silent, only glancing back at Shiki Ryougi. Shiki Ryougi, who had lost her eyes and entered darkness, seemed to sense Bai Mo's gaze and raised her head as well.
Bai Mo's lips moved as if he were saying something to her.
The next moment, Bai Mo's Magnetic Field Power surged violently, his trench coat shattered piece by piece, and his aura continued to rise.
The Giant Shark laughed loudly, "Damn it! I knew you had a trick up your sleeve. Now you're worthy to face my final blow!"
The Magnetic Field Power roared like a colossal beast, distorting the surrounding light and causing the wind to weep softly, as if the entire world was bowing down to its power. It was the Giant Shark Heavenly King, relying on his martial arts experience and wielding the power of 850,000 horsepower, creating a power unattainable by humankind!
The entire world was torn apart, destroyed, and strengthened by the Giant Shark Heavenly King!
Eighty-five hundred thousand bolts of power— the God-Severing Thunderbolt!
Faced with this terrifying and unavoidable attack, Bai Mo simply raised his right hand. His trench coat was now tattered beyond recognition, with only the sleeve of his right arm remaining. The rest of the coat, as if burned, fluttered behind Bai Mo like a battle flag in the wind!
Orca Heaven and Earth Way - Ultimate True Form, a move prepared by Oga for the Ultimate battle. Compared to the exquisite skill of One-Second Hell and the terror of the God-Slaying Strike, this move seems somewhat ordinary.
It was like a group of people preparing for a fight, while everyone else was armed with chainsaws and guns, and this was a person who had been physically trained to the limit and was unarmed.
For Oga, there was no room for further optimization, but the simplified version created by Bai Mo had a lot of room for improvement. Instead of amplifying the whole body, it focused on strengthening the next strike, betting everything on this final punch with all its might.
While it lacks the weight and solidity of Oga, it offers far more variations.
Simplification does not mean weakening, but rather transforming it into the most suitable form for use. And when the dust on the ground swirled around Bai Mo like birds, the power of this strike reached an even higher level!
Five hundred thousand horsepower, Anti-Gravity Realm!
Then, this punch, which gathered all the power, became even more lethal, far exceeding the power that the horse could have unleashed.
Orca Heaven and Earth Way - Orca Tyrant Fist!
The two forces intertwined, like two giant waves clashing, fighting until the sky collapsed and the earth trembled, causing ghosts to wail and gods to scream!
Viewed from the sky, the forces appeared evenly matched! Each formed a semicircle, pressing down the heavy Daichi like a sponge, and turning the towering structures into powder.
As the shockwave dissipated, a soft thud was heard, and Bai Mo collapsed, his body gradually disintegrating into fragments.
The Giant Shark stood still, his expression revealing no joy of victory. He simply raised his arm, and a broken bone from his forearm protruded from his body.
"What a disappointment. You could have dealt even greater damage with that attack, but you wasted your power protecting those people." The Giant Shark looked at Ryougi Shiki and the Shiki Ryougi behind Bai Mo and spoke slowly.
"What's the point? What's the difference between dying now and dying in ten seconds?"
The Giant Shark scoffed and immediately prepared to use its power to repair its body.
"What do you mean, Giant Shark? You're talking as if you can kill them in the next ten seconds."
Bai Mo collapsed to the ground, speaking weakly. Giant Shark frowned, but the next moment, he was horrified. No matter how much power he exerted, his arm could not be restored. Worse still, he sensed that the life force of this body was rapidly waning.
It's like the Magnetic Field Power isn't acting on an injured body, but on a dead corpse!
Death has come.
"What the hell is going on?! What the hell is happening?! Cellular Regeneration, give me Cellular Regeneration!"
No matter how he tried to harness the power, the body could not be reformed, as if the object he was harnessing was an inanimate object.
"Giant Shark, it seems you have absolutely no understanding of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception." Touko took off her glasses and said, "The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are different from artificial Mystic Eyes. They are the power of a soul that has died and returned to the Root, directly seeing all things after death. This transcends the power of Magecraft and is deeply connected to the soul. Even if you lose your eyes, it doesn't mean the original owner has lost their Death Perception. What they could see, they can still see."
"How is that possible? Without eyes, how could the soul perceive things so easily? Besides, the one I fought to the last time was Bai Mo, not her..."
The Giant Shark Heavenly King suddenly seemed to realize something and looked at Bai Mo and Shiki Ryougi.
Bai Mo finally conveyed these words to Shiki Ryougi.
I will be your eyes.
Bai Mo was too exhausted to explain, but Touko explained, "That's why Magnetic Field Power is so convenient. The world that Bai Mo sees is transmitted into Shiki's brain through Magnetic Field Power. Shiki's soul analyzes it, and then Bai Mo reads Shiki's mind. In this way, the Lines of Death that Shiki's soul is looking at will appear in Bai Mo's eyes! Since you entered Shiki's brain, Bai Mo has been coming to me every day to practice this move."
If visual transmission were achieved through Magecraft, it would be impossible. After all, without the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, cutting along the line would be meaningless. It could only be achieved if the two people completely opened their hearts and communicated at the spiritual level through Magnetic Field Power.
When Bai Mo first met Shiki Ryougi, he left behind a portion of his power as a precaution to prevent Shiki Ryougi from harming herself again.
When the Giant Shark snatched the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Bai Mo was surprised to find that the power he had initially stored in the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception had not disappeared! Was it that the Giant Shark hadn't noticed, or that it simply didn't care? In any case, this was the only chance of victory.
After all, for the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, a mere dab across the Lines of Death is enough to kill the target, whether with a knife or a baby's finger.
However, achieving this victory is no easy feat. First, the power stored in the eyes is extremely weak; the slightest movement would be detected by the Giant Shark, which would immediately expel it or neutralize it. Second, how could the giant shark not detect the level of spiritual exchange between Shiki Ryougi and the Giant Shark?
The Giant Shark laughed, somewhat relieved, but still filled with intense anger, and said, "So that's how it is. You were holding the deadly dagger, able to endure until the very last moment before unleashing it. But when I, the king, fought you to the last, mobilizing all my power, that weak power in your Mystic Eyes finally came into play."
"That's right, while it's the direct cause of your failure, it's not the root cause," Bai Mo whispered. At this moment, the Giant Shark, enraged, turned and roared!
"That's right, the root cause is that I trusted the wrong person. You damned system! How dare you betray me! Don't you know that I, the Giant Shark, hate betrayal the most!"
On the field, the only thing that could keep these little tricks from the Giant Shark was the system orb that kept supplying him with power. Only he could prevent the Giant Shark from noticing the power hidden in the Mystic Eyes, and only he could conceal Bai Mo's spiritual communication with Shiki Ryougi!
At this moment, the Giant Shark's hatred for this thing far surpassed that for Bai Mo. Compared to his opponent, being stabbed in the back was even more unacceptable to him!
For Bai Mo, this was a high-stakes gamble. Initially, in the Giant Shark Space, when he was about to suffer a fatal injury, he was alerted by the system. At that moment, he knew that the system wanted him to live. When Bai Mo was Life-Severing Way, the brief drop in his life force prevented it from being completely drained, further increasing Bai Mo's confidence.
In their final struggle, both fought with all their might. Facing Bai Mo's improved Orca Heaven and Earth Way, the Giant Shark had no choice but to give it its all, as the power of this attack was not to be underestimated. With all its strength at its disposal, the small power within its Mystic Eyes could slowly swim to the Lines of Death of "Araya Souren"'s body and gently brush past it.
At that moment, the Giant Shark had devoted all its energy to this final strike, completely unaware that the dagger of death had already succeeded. Even if the Giant Shark had noticed then and been distracted by dealing with that power, it would have created a tiny opening for Bai Mo, allowing Bai Mo to trigger the Lines of Death with complete confidence.
In battle, victory depends not only on strength, but also on many other factors. This time, the Giant Shark fell.
If this had happened during the era of the God of War, and 850,000 horses and 500,000 horses fought to the bitter end, resulting in mutual destruction, no one would believe it. If it were truly proven, it would be a legendary Tianxia, leaving an indelible mark on history!
The Giant Shark stared intently at the system orb behind it, but then Bai Mo's voice came from behind.
"Wrong, Giant Shark. The real reason isn't the system, it's you."
"You dare insult me, you brat?!"
The Giant Shark was enraged, and Jeanne d'Arc immediately stood guard beside Bai Mo. Bai Mo continued, "Isn't it your own character that caused all this, that makes you keep experiencing this fate?"
Why did Chaya betray you and kill you at the most crucial moment when you and Bai Chou were both severely injured? Why is it that when others gain unparalleled power, there are always people standing by their side, instead of making the whole world your enemy like you are?
Why was he betrayed? Why, when he gained unparalleled power, were his former mortal enemies able to set aside their hatred and kill him?
Bai Mo walked past Jeanne d'Arc and stood before him. Looking into the eyes of this dying man, the Giant Shark was momentarily shaken.
In the end, what determines your destiny is your character.
As these words were spoken, the system's voice also rang in the Giant Shark's mind.
"Giant Shark, you've gone too far. I've already made it very clear to you before: I want a complete body, not a Life-Severing Way. In the end, you're still too uncontrollable. The current situation between you and him is actually what I wanted to see."
It was a very pleasant collaboration, and I hope we won't have to meet again.
As soon as she finished speaking, Araya Souren's body began to disintegrate, her body, strengthened by the Magnetic Field Power, began to crumble into fragments. Bai Mo's body, however, crumbled into magnetic field fragments much more slowly. Beneath Bai Mo's feet, a dark substance mixed with power surged. It was the very thing that the Giant Shark had given her life, the thing Fran had mentioned before, the thing that had been twisted and modified by her and was once called Angra Mainyu.
The system's voice appeared in Bai Mo's mind after a long absence, saying, "Now that things have come to this, I have no reason to hide anything. But you don't have enough time for me to start from the beginning, so I'll keep it short. I want to use Shiki Ryougi's body to transform this world into Magnetic Field World."
"So, how many people will die in this process?" Bai Mo asked, seemingly completely unconcerned about his own life or death.
"Everything, after all, will directly alter this world. They won't experience the feeling of death; there will only be a whimper, and everything will end like a movie with the power cut off, then a new film will begin. So, I'm asking you, will you continue to cooperate with me? You've always been the ideal choice, but..."
"Impossible."
Bai Mo refused without any hesitation. He absolutely could not accept the idea of destroying a world for the sake of a world that had not yet been born.
Even though he was an outsider, after experiencing so much in this world, he could no longer ignore it.
The system seemed to have anticipated this, saying, "Indeed, then farewell. It's a pity that you only have a body from beyond the realm and no soul, but oh well, it's enough."
In the Giant Shark's eyes, the hostility towards Bai Mo had completely disappeared, and there was even a sense of sympathy for him.
"Kid, it looks like we've all lost this time."
Just when everything seemed to have settled down, Bai Mo was still smiling. He looked at the Giant Shark and slowly said, "No, Giant Shark, my power has disappeared, but you still have some left, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, the Black Mud beneath Bai Mo seemed to tremble, and the Giant Shark's face regained its extremely energetic smile.
"Hahaha! That's right, how come I only just realized now that you two get along surprisingly well! How could I be the kind of person who would just offer my neck for slaughter!" The next moment, the Giant Shark's body shot out, heading straight for Bai Mo, carrying his last bit of strength.
"Giant Shark, you're delusional!" The system's voice rang out, and the next moment, the Giant Shark's soul was instantly drawn back into the system's light sphere. However, its remaining body, still carrying its last bit of power, continued to fly, like a shark separated from its pack and dying, using its last strength to rush into the endless deep sea.
The Giant Shark Heavenly King is incredibly clever! By using his last strength to destroy Bai Mo's physical body, he completely thwarted the system's plan. The Giant Shark Heavenly King truly possesses astonishing wisdom!
He touched it, but the power was different from what Bai Mo had expected. It wasn't a destructive power, but a gentle one. This power had no origin and seemed to be about to dissipate along with Bai Mo's soul.
"Giant Shark, what do you mean by this?"
"Hehe, what's the point of doing it your way? I'm leaving now. My friend, I look forward to your brilliant performance."
Bai Mo frowned, but he couldn't care less about anything else and could only settle for second best.
The system yelled, "No!"
"No" is useless. Five hundred thousand bolts of power, Magnetic Field Heavenly Lock! The Black Mud swarmed forward, but Bai Mo's hands were already clasped around his body. Then, as if he had fulfilled his last wish, he turned around and glanced at the crowd behind him.
Goodbye... Take care.
His body collapsed and disappeared into the Black Mud. The Black Mud surged, and soon a person with a completely different appearance from Bai Mo emerged from it. He looked at this body and was at a loss for what to do.
He cried out, "Father! This Magnetic Field Heavenly Lock is impossible to break! I have no strength at all!"
The system, somewhat exasperated, said, "Shut up! How could I not know? Now, let's get out of here!"
Leave? Can you even leave? A strange voice rang out, and beams of light bloomed all around, as heroic Heroic Spirit appeared on the battlefield, with seven Grand Servant leading the way.
Grand Saber - Arthur Pendragon
Grand Archer -Orion
Grand Lancer -- Romulus Quirinus
Grand Rider - Noah
Grand Caster-- Taigong Wang
Grand Assassin -- Hassan al-Sabah
Grand Berserker -- Tezcatlipoca
As the Magecraft who had arrived with Bai Mo perished one by one, seven incredibly powerful Heroic Spirit appeared before the man, followed by an army of countless Heroic Spirit. From a place beyond his sight, Alaya Consciousness roared, "Charge! Kill this thing! I'll skin him alive, tear him apart, and reduce him to ashes!"
The Alaya Consciousness has a set of ways to deal with outsiders.
Bai Mo, who leans towards good and doesn't kill, clearly maintains a friendly attitude towards humans. Therefore, despite being an outsider with terrifying power, the Alaya Consciousness never tried to trip him up. Rather, it's more accurate to say that the Alaya consciousness welcomes outsiders like Bai Mo, whose past experiences can be easily sculpted into a super fighter—he's a real powerhouse.
Don't kill those you can't beat. For creatures like the Giant Shark, you're doomed no matter how many you send. Just send Jeanne d'Arc to protect the potentially valuable Shiki Ryougi. This plan seems perfectly sound so far.
Then, what about this thing before us that clearly threatens Human Order and currently lacks power?
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Cut him open and chop him into pieces at all costs! I'll use his skull as a bowl to eat his teeth!
At this moment, the Alaya Consciousness that had gone all in had also collapsed. They had done everything they could. No matter what, they couldn't possibly be no match for something sealed by the Magnetic Field Heavenly Lock, right? He turned his gaze to another direction, to a place in the air that no one else was aware of.
A single thread is protecting a soul, carrying it towards the Greece Aeaea Island.
