Any Demigod who wishes to break through the bottleneck and advance to the True God Rank must obtain their own unique "Proof of Godhood".
The components of Proof of Godhood are complex, including physical strength, understanding of laws, causal relationships, and the magnitude of Fortune...
Only by fulfilling all the conditions can one ascend to the position of True God. The lack of any necessary factor will inevitably prevent one from succeeding. If the missing factor is a selective one, although success is possible, it will greatly weaken one's potential. Those who aspire to climb to higher ranks will do their utmost to obtain the most perfect "Proof of Godhood," and Lancelot is no exception.
However, for him now, destroying the King of Ashes, Diorus, is still too much of a challenge.
Maxwell and Jacqueline had never witnessed the power of True God, but Lancelot was fully aware of the might of God Level expert. Despite his significant improvement in strength, he was still utterly vulnerable before True God, able to withstand at most a few more blows.
Throughout the countless planes and Endless powerful beings of the Astral Realm, the number of Demigod who defied True God without the aid of external forces is extremely limited. Whenever such an event occurred, it was recorded and extensively documented.
"It's time to go into battle, but before that, it'd be good to warm up a bit..."
With that thought in mind, Lancelot flashed out of the secret room and appeared in front of Maxwell and Jacqueline, startling them both.
"Your Teleportation ability has improved again; I didn't even notice the spatial fluctuations..." Moon Poem Jacqueline's beautiful eyes widened slightly as she stared at Lancelot with a look as if she were looking at a monster, as if trying to see right through him.
Maxwell's expression was almost identical, the word "complex" practically written on his forehead. As a fellow Innovation School Ability Energy, he could only truly grasp Lancelot's extraordinary abilities. This guy could actually simultaneously possess two SSS+ level Innovation Skill —what was his gene chain made of? Was it so indestructible?
"A minor breakthrough, nothing to brag about..." Lancelot waved his hand dismissively, then extended a sparring invitation, "Would you two be interested in a match with me?"
"This..." Jacqueline hesitated.
Maxwell, however, said quite readily, "You've just broken through; rushing into the front lines might put you in danger due to your unfamiliarity with your surging power. Sparring with us to familiarize yourself with this power is indeed a good choice. I agree. Where shall we fight?"
"Let's find a barren planet, preferably far away from Planet Oklo, to avoid being detected by enemy probes," Lancelot replied.
"Well, I'll go too. It's just a friendly spar, no one's going to die. Just be gentle, Lancelot, I don't want to die at the hands of my own people," Jacqueline muttered. Lancelot nodded, indicating he understood.
"Wait a moment, I'll set up a long-distance teleportation array," Jacqueline said again.
Lancelot stopped her, and under their gazes, he extended his long, powerful hand, gently clenched it, and a powerful electromagnetic field surged forth.
With a deafening boom, the multiple dimensions collapsed and twisted under the influence of electromagnetic force, transforming into a dark, gaping wormhole.
The King of Electromagnetism's Innovation Skill allows Lancelot to control extremely high-intensity electromagnetic forces with ease, enabling him to perform many near-miraculous feats.
For example, creating wormholes with bare hands to teleport people over long distances; enhancing oneself and strength through electromagnetic forces to increase explosive power; and even directly controlling electromagnetic forces at the microscopic level to manipulate atoms in the environment and create everything...
In the eyes of ordinary people, Lancelot is now almost a creator, nearly omnipotent.
After creating the spatial wormhole, Lancelot took the lead and stepped into it, disappearing from sight. Maxwell and Jacqueline exchanged a glance, both seeing the numbness on each other's faces. They didn't want to say anything and followed Lancelot one after the other, disappearing into the Underground Space.
On the surface of a desolate planet in the edge of the universe, a space wormhole with a diameter of ten meters suddenly appeared out of thin air, and soon after, a strong human man stepped out.
Looking at the planet before him, which was entirely composed of black rock, Lancelot nodded slightly. This place was nice; even if it was damaged, it wouldn't matter, and it wouldn't attract attention from countless light-years away.
Maxwell and Jacqueline followed closely behind Lancelot, exiting the wormhole.
Are you ready?
Lancelot turned around and looked at the two of them.
"Of course... I'm ready!" Maxwell grinned, and countless tiny vortexes suddenly appeared on his body. A spiraling, strangling force condensed on his fists, and then he threw a punch, resorting to a sneak attack without any regard for martial ethics.
And it wasn't just Maxwell; Jacqueline Moon Poem did the same. Without even uttering a word, the spell "Holy Radiance of the Moon," which she had been preparing in the wormhole, suddenly detached from her staff, like a moon crashing down with terrifying force.
Seeing this, Lancelot's lips curled up slightly. Without any panic, he raised his right hand, condensing electromagnetic force to form a high-intensity ionization barrier out of thin air, steadily blocking Maxwell's attack. His left hand extended his index finger, with a cross-shaped blue light flashing at the tip, and finally fired a thick plasma cannon that collided with the Holy Radiance of the Moon.
Boom!!
The collision between the three Peak Demigod instantly created a powerful shockwave that spread in a ring across the barren planet. Mountain peaks were flattened in the blink of an eye, the earth cracked open, and magma gushed out from the fissures.
With the intention of testing the "King of Electromagnetism", Lancelot suppressed the "Undying Holy Spirit" and used only the former against the enemy. Countless dense electric arcs surrounded his body, and majestic dragon horns once again appeared on his head. His entire body swelled up, transforming into Dragon Giant.
Maxwell's attack was blocked, but he was not discouraged at all. He activated his Vortex Tyrant Body to the fullest extent, and the extremely penetrating Power of Spiral covered his body. He seemed to have transformed into an indestructible physical cannonball, rushing straight towards Lancelot at an extremely fast speed.
Upon seeing this, Jacqueline immediately extended her magic wand, and Elemental Magical Energy surged, transforming into a complex magic circle beneath Lancelot's feet. Multiple nested hexagrams extended from the circle, with countless translucent tentacles extending outwards. Under the influence of these tentacles, the surrounding space became chaotic, making it difficult to Teleportation to evade Maxwell's attack.
The two worked together seamlessly, and in the blink of an eye, Lancelot seemed to be trapped in a cage.
Faced with this predicament, Lancelot remained calm. With a wave of his hand, the Calamity Domain descended, storms and thunder danced together, and the tornado formed by the Vacuum Blade enveloped his entire body, destroying the writhing tentacles beneath his feet.
As Maxwell attacked, he was immediately subjected to countless cutting attacks from vacuum blades. Due to the "Extreme Sharpness" attribute, these vacuum blades were extremely sharp, and any one of them could slice through a giant mountain.
However, Maxwell lived up to his reputation as the strongest Pillar of the Nation of the Crimson Alliance. His Vortex Tyrant Body was incredibly powerful. Not only was the vortex covering his body strong enough to resist most attacks, but his physical strength was also top-notch. In the end, the Vacuum Blade Tornado still couldn't stop him, and Maxwell broke through it with great force.
The two figures collided amidst the lightning storm, exchanging blows numerous times in a very short period of time. Their speed was so great that countless afterimages appeared in the air, and the barren planet's ground was covered with fist marks and smooth cut surfaces.
whoosh whoosh--
The fierce wind lashed at their bodies, yet could not budge them in the slightest.
Jacqueline spread her arms, her Mage robes fluttering in the wind, and unleashed powerful Demigod spells as if they were free, scattering magical Radiance and stirring up waves of Magical Energy.
The combined attack of two Peak Demigod was something that only a handful of beings in the entire Elven Plane could withstand. However, for the thick-skinned Lancelot, even without using the Undying Holy Spirit, he could easily withstand the onslaught of attacks with his physical body alone and launch counterattack after counterattack.
Boom!!
Another plasma cannon shot rained down from the sky. Jacqueline quickly used a short-range teleportation spell to dodge, almost like teleporting, and avoided the bombardment.
However, the barren planet below was not so lucky; the powerful plasma cannon pierced through the thick rock layer, creating a bottomless hole.
If viewed from outer space, one would be astonished to find that Lancelot's casual attack instantly pierced through the barren planet, completely penetrating it. Moreover, the plasma cannon continued its trajectory into the depths of space, moving at the speed of light like a gamma-ray burst.
Jacqueline, who witnessed this scene through a higher-dimensional magical perspective, was completely dumbfounded. She glanced at Lancelot, who was frantically unleashing plasma cannons, and at the unyielding body that remained motionless no matter how Maxwell attacked, and couldn't find a way to win.
After a long while, the two Pillar of the Nation, panting heavily, called a halt to the battle. Looking at Lancelot, who was still full of energy and seemed to have no energy left, Maxwell and Jacqueline exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning behind each other's expressions—this monster!
