"What a clingy pest!"
Within the spatial rift, Gustavo flew while sensing what was behind him, repeatedly using the Four Element Runes in battle, almost draining his Devouring Divine Power. However, at the same time, he gained a basic understanding of Daciu's combat strength, obtaining fairly complete information.
This Upper God, who is clearly from the Floating Light Civilization, is most likely at the peak of the True God Tier Seven and is about to break through to the True God Tier Eight. Without the use of artifacts or other assistance, his combat power should be around 300,000 Dale. Gustavo himself is around 130,000 Dale, which seems to be more than twice the number.
In reality, combat strength levels are not simply a matter of stacking numbers; they involve extremely complex calculation formulas.
A numerical difference of more than double translates to a difference of more than ten times in a real combat scenario, resulting in an absolute crushing defeat.
Gustavo was able to hold out until now because he was weaker, so the artifact helped him more. In addition, the Four Element Runes combined to form a high-quality Upper God Artifact, far stronger than the staff in Daciu's hands. Therefore, he was able to barely resist Daciu's attack.
But that's it. At most, there will be one or two more clashes, and Gustavo will definitely be defeated. After all, that's Upper God, an existence that is a whole realm above him.
"However, from now on, I won't need to fight by myself anymore!"
Looking into the distance, Gustavo smiled.
After leaving the Vera Brood Nest, he made a point of noting the locations of many Zerg strongholds along the way, just in case, and now they came in handy.
"Damn it, this guy's strength is obviously average, but the Upper God Artifact he has is too powerful. It's most likely of Rare quality or higher!" Daciu's eyes burned with anger and fervor.
The Divine Path Configuration is of great importance, and once obtained, it must be handed over to the clan. However, this is not necessary for Upper God Artifact artifacts. As Upper God, according to custom, he is entitled to keep this spoil of war.
"With this Upper God Artifact, my strength will definitely reach a new level, and my status will rise accordingly!"
Thinking this, Daciu's expression turned cold, and the accumulated Elemental Magical Energy surged out, like raging pythons intertwining and coiling, the terrifying energy converging at the tip of the staff.
' Realm-Shattering Spear!'
Boom!!
Centered on Daciu, elemental fluctuations spread outward in a circular pattern, the energy level reaction expanded to its maximum, and finally all the power collapsed instantly, contracting and condensing into a golden spear that spanned the dimensional Void.
Daciu stood on the other side of the spear, staff in hand, his face grim as he thrust out this deadly strike.
Click!!
Space shattered beneath the spear's edge, and dense elemental divine light, like streams of liquid light, swirled and rose around the spear, enhancing its speed and attack power.
"This is... a spell that has reached level 26! Oh no, my Divine Power is almost exhausted. Even if I activate the power of the Four Element Runes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand this attack!"
"Hmph, do you really think I don't know what you're up to? It's nothing more than using one enemy to devour another. If you can't stop this attack, the Zerg are right next to you. What can you do?! You can only watch yourself die!!" Daciu sneered.
Those who can cultivate to the level of Upper God are not fools; they are all shrewd and insightful individuals with keen observation skills.
From Gustavo's escape route, Daciu sensed something amiss. Combined with the Destruction Realm Abyss, the invasion of the Void Insect Clan, and the relationship between the Thousand-Eyed Race and the Insectoids as vassal races, this was enough for Daciu to make a judgment.
Realizing this, Daciu maintained basic Upper God- level attacks throughout the journey, while secretly accumulating power and preparing his trump card, the 26th-level spell "Realm-Shattering Spear," in order to catch the Thousand-Eyed Race's True God off guard and kill him in one fell swoop.
The deadly threat from behind made Gustavo realize that he had been somewhat arrogant.
Ever since he manipulated the Thousand-Eyed Race and the Water Mirror Race with the Divine Law of Cause and Effect and the Divine Law of Fate, his arrogance had been secretly growing, though Gustavo himself was unaware of it.
Constant victories can cloud one's judgment, and arrogance can devour the soul.
Gustavo suddenly realized that taking a shortcut by having Logo help him devour the Mind Beast might not be entirely beneficial. The lack of mental tempering made him prone to losing himself after acquiring power far exceeding his current life level.
Daciu's blow to the head jolted Gustavo awake. The stinging pain in his back assaulted his soul in waves. The deadly threat made Gustavo's mind clearer than ever before, and he thought of many things in an instant.
"Even with the Four Element Runes, I definitely can't withstand this attack. The Zerg stronghold is still some distance away, and they can't send reinforcements. Right now, it seems that passively triggering the Gate of Myriad Worlds is the only option... No, I have another choice, Miracle Creation: Illusory and Real Prism..."
Gustavo recalled the description of the Miracle Creation.
"Miracle Creation" usually possess a very special structure and the property of Eternity Immortal, making the vast majority of them almost impossible to Destruction.
"It's almost impossible to Destruction... Hopefully, the Illusory and Real Prism isn't one of those extremely fragile entities like the Eye of Insight! Otherwise, we'll still have to use up the sub-body of the Gate of Myriad Worlds!"
In a flash, Gustavo made a decision. He poured all his remaining Divine Power into the water and earth elemental runes, creating Swamp Black Hole. He then leaped into the core of the Black Hole, where he was obscured by the black water.
"Ha, trying to pull the same trick again? Wishful thinking!!"
In the distance, Daciu smiled contemptuously, his staff pointing forward with a bang, like a fencing strike, plunging the Realm-Shattering Spear into the Swamp Black Hole.
The moment the two made contact, the Swamp Black Hole cracked open, and a dazzling, sharp light shone from the cracks. It was only a momentary Radiance, but in an ordinary plane, it would have been enough to instantly wipe out a high-magic planet.
Boom!!
The explosion originated from the core of the swamp, and the devastating power directly tore the surrounding dimensions apart, turning the Space-Time storm within a radius of billions of miles into nothingness.
Daciu's Mage robes fluttered wildly in the Void Torrent, his hair danced wildly, exuding the aura of a super strongman, until his senses fed back a scene.
In the Core Zone of the explosion, amidst the chaotic and scattering energy, a silver meteor, like a free bird, gracefully and nimbly traced a beautiful trajectory, landing in a distant location. It then dusted itself off, stood up, and... was completely unharmed!
