(The chapter order is incorrect; Chapter 43 is at the end.)
As Volcano Giant, Pusluo's Earth Element Clone possessed the strength of Six-Star Fiend and had extensive knowledge of Earth Travel Technique. He directly led Jason underground into Moonwheel City.
The Moonwheel City had a warning array on its ground, which naturally detected the two "intruders." It wasn't until a city guard captain saw that it was Jason that he dismissed the city guards who had surrounded him.
Jason led Pusluo to his city lord's mansion.
After merging with the other clones who had been waiting for a long time, Jason breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the first time I've reached my peak condition."
"Ah! Grandpa has another clone!" A lively girl said to Jason, hands on her hips, with a hint of jealousy in her voice.
Jason, holding his granddaughter Talina's hand, introduced her, "This is my granddaughter, Talina. This is Mr. Pusluo."
"Hello, Mr. Pusluo." "Hehe, hello."
Monica and Olivier have been married for over a hundred years, and their daughter Talina is ninety-eight years old. She is somewhat lively but not immature, thanks to Jason and Veronica's dedicated upbringing. Talina is very much like Monica in her early years.
Linley walked over with a little boy by his hand; this was Linley's second son, Wade.
"Pusluo?" Linley was a little surprised.
"Brother Linley, it's been a long time."
"Ah, long time no see, what's up this time?" Linley was straightforward and asked without hesitation.
Jason picked up the conversation, saying, "Oh, Lord Beirut has entrusted us with some tasks, matters within the Indigo Prefecture."
"That's how it is." Linley didn't press further.
Jason patted Talina on the back, and she tactfully grabbed Linley's youngest son, Wade, and left.
Only Jason, Linley, and Pusluo remained before Jason spoke up, "I mentioned before that someone was targeting me, and this time Lord Beirut entrusted Pusluo to help me out of this predicament."
Linley suddenly realized.
Pusluo chuckled and said, "Jason and I agreed on the way here that we'd have a spar once all his clones are gathered together. Could you please arrange a venue, Brother Linley?"
Linley looked at Jason, and seeing that the other nodded, he said, "Let's go underground. I'll dig a hole."
Linley's understanding of earth element and Earth Travel Technique far surpassed that of Pusluo. The three of them directly infiltrated ten thousand meters underground into the city lord's mansion, creating a cavity with a diameter of five hundred meters. Using the Black Blackstone Space in reverse, the powerful repulsive force compacted the surrounding soil, and the Blackstone Prison reinforced the entire cavity like a city wall.
"I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, Brother Linley, how did you come up with this amazing move? To have this level of skill with the strength of Midgod, I reckon you'll crush you when you reach the Highgod." Pusluo clicked his tongue in amazement.
Linley said modestly, "I was just lucky, and I took a shortcut. With your strength, even if I were trapped in the Blackstone Space, I couldn't hurt you, Pusluo."
The two were ready.
"Keep it as quiet as possible, we'll all fight using Midgod," Jason said.
Linley is only Midgod now. If Jason and Pusluo fight at full strength, his Blackstone Space will most likely not be able to withstand it, especially since both of them have Sovereign Artifact.
Pusluo nodded in agreement and transformed into a fire giant, charging forward.
Pusluo is a typical character with strong attack power, high physical strength, and an offensive Sovereign Artifact, making him extremely adept at head-on combat; his speed is average, and apart from his soul, he has almost no weaknesses. He is considered one of the stronger of the Sovereign's Emissary.
As for how many Profound Mysteries were integrated, Pusluo only vaguely said, "almost completely integrated five kinds," without specifying which five kinds.
Nine water dragons surged upwards around Jason, but Pusluo dodged four of them and shattered five more with a flick of his red cone. Jason then channeled his Water Element Divine Power, manifesting the "ice form" of his Crystal Space to completely protect himself. Pusluo's cone pierced through the ice after a brief moment of resistance. Jason's "Frost Chill" manifested on his hand, colliding with the cone, and both men were forced back.
Jason suffered a setback; even after the buffer of the Crystal Space, his direct attack power was still inferior to Pusluo's. On one hand, the laws Jason cultivated were indeed not strong in physical attacks; on the other hand, physical defense Sovereign Artifact were less effective at amplifying attacks than offensive Sovereign Artifact.
(I find it strange that Pusluo's Sovereign Artifact is a cone, and is Bluefire some kind of pleasure-seeking monster? That's so perverse.)
Jason manifested his Thunderwing Angel form. He did not use the bloodline of the Four Divine Beasts Clan; in fact, his Azure Dragon form was not much weaker than Pusluo's. Jason had absorbed three drops of Azure Dragon's essence blood back then.
The Crystal Space fully opened, and this time Jason used the "water form".
The water-sphere-shaped Crystal Space almost completely filled the underground cavity, even enveloping Linley at the edge.
Linley, of course, deliberately allowed himself to be enveloped, taking the opportunity to move slightly within the Crystal Space: "Both of them are sparring using Midgod. While both are Midgod, Uncle Jason's Crystal Space has a slightly weaker binding force than my Blackstone Space, lacking that freely changing repulsive and attractive force; however, this Crystal Space is very convenient for switching between various forms, capable of handling multiple situations, and has a strong suppressive effect on divine sense and vision. I need to use that 'black stone' to achieve this effect."
Pusluo stood still, flames swirling around him, hissing as he touched the surrounding water. A large amount of water mist gathered around his body, forming a vacuole.
He wasn't good with souls, and in fact, Pusluo concealed the fact that he possessed a Soul Defense Divine Artifact. He had acquired it shortly after becoming Sovereign's Emissary, exchanging two drops of Sovereign’s Might with a renowned lord.
However, the Soul Defense Divine Artifact could not enhance his soul abilities. Although he was not afraid of the soul attacks attached to the Crystal Space, he could not see through the layers of water and the ice walls hidden within them.
Jason's figure appeared in the water, and he punched Pusluo in the back. Pusluo did not turn around, but instead, a violent explosion erupted from his body. The powerful flames collided with Jason's fist, which was covered in "Frost Chill". Jason's figure was pushed back and disappeared into the water again, while Pusluo lunged forward and regained his balance.
Even without the Sovereign Artifact, the Long Cone, Pusluo's physical attacks are comparable to Jason's attacks when enhanced by the Sovereign Artifact's physical defense.
Pusluo stared at the gray light that had collided with the Soul Defense Divine Artifact in his sea of consciousness, and roughly estimated. "Jason should specialize in water and death, specializing in defense, binding, and soul attacks. According to the data, his Lightning Clone is also very fast, so he probably didn't use it. Hiss—with his characteristics, why did he choose a physical defense Sovereign Artifact his main artifact? He should have prioritized making up for his weakness in attack."
Pusluo, of course, did not know that Jason was still Midgod when he obtained the Sovereign Artifact, and that preserving his life was of paramount importance.
The two exchanged more than a dozen blows, neither able to gain the upper hand. Pusluo tried to break through the Crystal Space, but Jason blocked his way every time.
Jason then removed the Crystal Space and demonstrated his Arc Flash.
The two had a general understanding of each other's strength. Pusluo had obviously kept a backup plan; but Jason held nothing back. Apart from the fact that the Four Divine Beast Bloodline and the "Annihilation Eye" were given to him by Beirut and could not be shown, he even revealed that he possessed Soul Defense Divine Artifact.
Jason is different from Pusluo. Pusluo will basically not make any further progress in his life; while Jason's strength is still growing rapidly, and he has four clones that are only Midgod. His current trump card for survival will probably be reduced to ordinary attacks in a few thousand years.
Moreover, this time Pusluo was assisting Jason in defeating the enemy, so Jason was naturally very frank with him.
The two stopped.
"Happy!"
"Now we await His Excellency Beirut's final instructions."
