Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 35 Gu, Just Kill Me! (5000, Short Chapter)
For Pivot, the most painful thing is that after calling for reinforcements for so long, no friendly forces came to rescue him.
And for Pivot, the most fortunate thing is also that after calling for reinforcements for so long, no friendly forces returned to save him.
Because that way, no friendly forces would see him in his current disheveled state.
Although he might die, at least he would save face even in death!
[Thinking about it carefully, such an ending isn't so bad]
Even this Darkshadow had time to ramble: [In the end, even if I die, I'll be dying against an alliance of other civilizations' Honored Ones and the Senostian Honored One group, holding the rear, and supporting bravely—at least my reputation will be good]
[Plus, they might not be able to obliterate me in a short time. When Apogee and Balance come to rescue me, I probably won't be eliminated, at most I'll need to slumber for a while!]
Valiant resistance, brave rear guard, loyal and righteous, truly a great warrior among the Entropy Shadows—of course, Pivot's thoughts were good, just too much.
Like Su Zhou, he didn't think about anything.
He simply circulated the 'Invariable Substance' (buyi wuzhi) Divine Power that Kromark had just transmitted to him, and happily slashed out with his blade!
Boom!
This slash didn't bring up any spiritual energy. The shockwave that should have been there only stirred up a brilliant nebula of radiation because it was located in the vacuum of space.
But this slash didn't need to cause any phenomena. Its most powerful and terrifying aspect was itself. The Blade of Annihilation, wrapped in a layer of invariable substance, was glowing, and the light on the blade became brighter and brighter, more and more intense, until finally it was like a nova flashing and disappearing on the edge of the universe, heading towards Pivot with a rapidly approaching momentum!
No energy overflowed, and no spiritual energy diffused. All the power was concentrated in the invariable substance, constantly accumulating and superimposing, with the destructive force rising exponentially.
Against this, Entropy Shadow could neither plunder nor influence. Even the overflowing light had no temperature, but only illuminated the dim twilight starfield, making the surrounding star debris and asteroids clearly visible.
Awakened by this slash, Pivot couldn't ramble anymore. The black cut surfaces all over his body flickered, and a huge wave surged on his phantom-like body—in an instant, the surrounding spacetime began to roll, time presented a strange state of acceleration, comets began to disperse, radiation began to dim, and the energy in all matter began to be condensed by him.
Invariable substance is indeed a powerful Divine Power that the Senostians and Entropy Shadows finally condensed after a long time of fighting. Kromark of the Adamantine Clan is even more of a leader in this area. He can infinitely pile up the power of his strike, without leakage, stacking it to his heart's content, until finally he throws a punch that even an Ω-level Honored One must avoid, otherwise their cultivation would be destroyed and they would fall into slumber on the spot.
However, Entropy Shadows are not without ways to deal with them.
In the dark Entropy Shadow, a strange matrix space folded from countless mirrors condensed, and invisible power was transmitted and diffused within it.
It could be seen that in this matrix space, a small star river similar to the Twilight Starfield appeared, identical to each other, and could be said to be a one-to-one replica!
[Pivot]
Facing the terrifying divine blade that Su Zhou was slashing towards him, the Darkshadow solemnly pointed at the small star river in his body, pointing at the youth's side.
Immediately, thunder rumbled at Su Zhou's side!
An invisible force surged out of the small star river, and finally converged into an unparalleled torrent in the real star river. It was the condensed power of all the negative entropy in the surrounding starfield. If it bombarded a star fortress, and the fortress had no Galaxy Star to protect it, it would probably be able to penetrate it with one blow.
But this blow was not an attack, but a peculiar reinforcement!
With the injection of this power, Su Zhou, covered in Adamantine Crystal, began to light up with a circle of crystal-clear patterns all over his body.
Buzz!
Su Zhou, who had just swung his blade, suddenly realized that his soul was rapidly growing—but not in strength, but in a kind of emptiness. To give an analogy, it was like the difference between a normal wrestler and a five-hundred-pound fat man, and this fat man's bloated body was still expanding and getting bigger, making him fatter and fatter!
In an instant, Pivot, who had long been locked on in Su Zhou's eyes, began to sway and blur. It began to merge with the surrounding black cosmic background, and the high-precision perception that could sense protons, neutrons, and even electron clouds began to become chaotic. Su Zhou was about to lose the atomic nucleus and fall out of the mesoscopic perspective.
Not only that, but the sudden increase in power within Su Zhou's body caused the energy circulation circuits to become disordered. Because of the coverage of invariable substance, this disordered power could not be vented out. Instead, it was like an explosion in an iron box, being transmitted and oscillating back and forth in a narrow space!
At this moment, Su Zhou's body stopped, like a crashed robot, motionless!
This was a three-pronged attack on the soul, body, and energy! By forcibly injecting poisoned negative entropy, it directly turned the enemy into a useless being who could not perceive, could not lock on, and could not attack accurately!
Using a little power to activate the negative entropy of the great universe, and using a little power to cause the balance in other people's bodies to be disordered, this was Pivot's true Divine Power secret technique, a combat skill!
But before Pivot could breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to delay for a while, planning an attack that could truly defeat the strong enemy in front of him.
This Ω-level Honored One suddenly realized in astonishment that Su Zhou was moving again! The dazzling divine blade was still slashing towards him with unparalleled power!
No, it wasn't Su Zhou!
It was Su Zhou's fist, and his blade!
Boom! With a loud bang, although Su Zhou's body stayed in place motionless, his arm flew out separately, opening a hole in the instant when the chaotic energy in his body was still frantically surging!
At Su Zhou's shoulder, and at the back end of Su Zhou's arm, bursts of restless flames erupted. The chaotic spiritual power was originally the culprit that harmed the youth's energy circulation, but now it had become the fuel for rocket propulsion, and the assistance for the divine blade's slash!
Without Su Zhou's control, without the need for Su Zhou's control, Su Zhou's hand held Su Zhou's blade, and used Su Zhou's best swordsmanship.
They had their own ideas!
[—This, this isn't Senostian at all?!]
The divine blade burned fiercely, slashing down, and Pivot roared, but powerless rage was obviously useless.
But what he said was right, Su Zhou was indeed not a Senostian.
But this was obvious, and it was hard to understand why he only realized it now.
The Dao Soldier slashed horizontally, and just as the crystalline blade touched the Darkshadow's shadow-like body, infinite power exploded instantly, like an earth-shattering explosion. Countless Adamantine Crystals exploded like shrapnel from a fragmentation bomb!
And this explosion scattered Pivot's body along with it. Fragments of Darkshadow mixed with bright crystal chips, flying in all directions like meteors, and the nebula in the Twilight Starfield created by the shattered stars was stirred up, creating surging tides.
This strike was terrifying, very terrifying. If it hit the moon, not to mention directly splitting it, cutting a large crack across the planet would be easy, but Su Zhou himself could completely do such an attack, such destructive power, at most it would take a little longer to accumulate power, and it would not completely eliminate Darkshadow.
However, it could be seen that the self-destructing invariable substance 'Adamantine Crystal', after releasing all the energy stored by Su Zhou, began to transform into 'absorption' once again!
It absorbed the entropy flow split from Pivot's body, and then absorbed it into its own body, completely imprisoning it!
This time, Pivot let out a real cry of pain. His immortal extreme soul, that is, the Darkshadow's body, was imprisoned and sealed. Su Zhou's power blasted it apart, which was considered a heavy blow, but for a Celestial Honored One, it was just a matter of time to condense the cultivation base. However, the Senostian's invariable substance sealed his body. As long as Su Zhou recovered those tangible substances, his intangible body would also be obliterated!
However, he had misunderstood Su Zhou's purpose.
At this moment, Su Zhou's head was still a little dizzy.
Swish—the flying arm and Blade of Annihilation flew back and were embedded in his body.
The Entropy Shadow's attack, the youth had encountered similar attacks before... attacking by amplifying them, he could do that too!
But if it really happened to him, and he didn't prevent it in the first place, he would definitely suffer.
Fortunately, he was used to suffering anyway. He had an immortal body. It was better than mutually digging out each other's hearts and lungs with other powerful enemies, forcing him to strategically transfer his body.
Then, since the first strike was effective, then the second strike!
[Starting to load 'Lightning Brand', Divine Power name: 'Invariable Gale', starting spiritual power connection]
The sound of spiritual power loading and Divine Power connection sounded for the second time.
And this time, Pivot clearly saw that in the nebula not far from him, a storm containing endless lightning suddenly rose, and then condensed into a towering giant hand that seemed to support the sky!
Any spiritual power, any power, any material change, requires power, that is, brings about changes in 'entropy'. A blade and armor is friction, and friction is the collision of contact surfaces. The force of the blade slashing down and the force supporting the armor offset each other, and material friction naturally results in loss.
A simpler example: electricity is conducted in a circuit, and heat is generated due to resistance. Heat is the loss of electricity, and it is the entropy it adds to the world.
Whenever power does work in the universe, it causes changes in entropy.
And invariable substance, invariable gale, although they are not truly immortal, before encountering Divine Powers of the same level, they can ignore all 'friction', ignore all resistance, ignore all insignificant 'obstacles' that can wear them down.
It's like this now.
The gale, howling like a black hole jet stream, was controlled by Su Zhou with the 'Great Heavenly Cycle Azure Seed Method'. It had to be said that if the founder of this Divine Power, which Su Zhou had upgraded from the innate secret technique of the Divine Wood World to its current realm, knew about it, he would definitely sigh in admiration. It was enough to make people achieve the status of Immortals and Gods, carve planets and continents, and blow away the storm spewing from the sun.
However, even such a Divine Gale Divine Power was difficult to bear the 'Lightning Gale'.
The ultimate Divine Power that condensed all the insights of an Ω-level Honored One even made Su Zhou completely serious. His expression was solemn, he raised his right hand high, and focused all his attention like never before, controlling this endless Divine Gale that would blow everything away as soon as it began to breathe, ignoring entropy until another high-energy body completely obliterated it.
Then, the lightning fist of the storm slammed down on the black mist where Pivot was located!
The Honored One who could control entropy let out another painful cry.
Then, he let out the second cry, the third cry, the fourth cry—
[Star Flame Brand] [Solid Magnetic Brand] [Heavenly Attraction Brand] [Shock Flow Brand]...
The immortal brands of one Senostian Honored One after another were loaded onto Su Zhou's body amidst the other party's gleeful cheers.
Not only was Su Zhou very happy, but they were also very happy.
For no reason—being able to use their own power to beat their old rivals before they had fully recovered, was this not ten thousand times more refreshing than bombarding dead objects and targets?
Especially since Su Zhou's resonance rate was so high, Su Zhou's attack was almost like their own attack, and might even be more outstanding!
[That's how you should fight... no, you can only fight like this!]
The Honored Ones who were attached to Su Zhou along with the Divine Powers laughed heartily. They had been slumbering for so long, and this battle was a gift to celebrate their return!
[...You win!]
At this moment, the battle that took place around the cosmic rift in the Twilight Starfield was coming to an end. Su Zhou was currently using the brand of the Ω-level Honored One [Glorious Damos], condensing thousands of shining 'Light Sealing Swords' around him, firmly locking the Entropy Shadow that wanted to escape in place, unable to move.
Although it was said to be light, it was not bright at all. The Light Sealing Sword did not release any heat, nor did it transmit vibrations outwards. This divine light, which could last forever, was one of the achievements of the Invariable system. It surrounded Pivot, forcibly imprisoning this heavily injured Honored One in place.
At this point, Pivot completely fell into despair, knowing that he could not escape, and might even be captured and taken to the Senostian ancestral land to be obliterated, he only wanted to die quickly: [Gu, kill me!]
But Su Zhou stopped attacking.
——If he lets him kill, he'll kill. Does he have no face?
Then he casually slashed a few more times with the Blade of Annihilation, cutting Pivot's already fragmented Entropy Shadow body to pieces.
——By the same logic, if he lets him kill, he won't kill. Wouldn't that make him seem childish?
Su Zhou didn't care that he was childish. Anyway, he was an Honored One, and saying 'good night' could be interpreted in seventeen different meanings, but he slashed very smoothly and happily.
The Senostian's Divine Power secret techniques were truly precise and profound. Even though he had used so many invariable Divine Powers in rotation, he still found it difficult to master the true essence of them.
However, this was not important. If he didn't know, he would learn. Presumably, these Ω-level Honored Ones wouldn't mind teaching him and forming a good relationship for the Senostians.
"You say you want to die?"
He poked the other party again with the Blade of Annihilation. This time, Su Zhou didn't use invariable Divine Power, so this strike wouldn't cause much damage to the Entropy Shadow. Instead, it was like a human patting his shoulder: "Why do you want to die? What did you do?"
[...?]
Hearing this, Pivot was confused: [What?]
——Shouldn't he die already?
You should know that they, the Entropy Shadows, were invading the Senostian civilization, intending to invade this universe, and he was at least in the Extreme Soul Realm, an Honored One, right?
Wasn't an Honored One worthy of being respected, of being killed with caution?!
You are insulting the dignity of an Entropy Shadow Honored One for one hundred and twenty thousand years!
He was even a little angry, feeling that his dignity had been damaged.
However, this time, Pivot reacted quickly—he remembered something very important.
That was, Su Zhou was not a Senostian!
Sensing the sudden soul fluctuation coming from the Entropy Shadow, the youth couldn't help but nod: "Okay, it seems that you roughly understand the current situation. Presumably, you fought with the Senostians for I don't know how long, and ultimately both sides were injured, and both sides killed I don't know how many Honored Ones, and finally the Void Cult took advantage..."
[The Void Cult!!!!]
As soon as the Void Cult was mentioned, Pivot, who was a little dejected and had no will to resist, immediately became furious: [These contract-breaking, damned liars! What do you mean the Senostians don't have any Ω-level powerhouses guarding them, and the Golden Fleet is also very empty internally because it has been dispatched before... How dare you deceive my race, how dare you...]
Pivot was more than just angry. His shadow-like body was like a black lake, suddenly rising with a great wave. If he had a human body, he would gnash his teeth!
It was all the false information given by the Void Cult! Otherwise, what couldn't they, the Entropy Shadows, have done? Why did they have to launch such a large-scale invasion?
Even collecting a little more information could have completely saved the current terrible situation!
"You see."
Looking at Pivot's angry expression, Su Zhou exchanged glances with the Senostian Honored Ones in the soul space. Although the Honored Ones looked unhappy, they still nodded.
Of course, they didn't want to let this old rival off, but as Su Zhou said, their fight with the Entropy Shadows was just giving the Void Cult an advantage.
Although the Entropy Shadows had lost an Honored One, their foundation was still strong. Even though the situation in the Veil World had been bad in recent years, judging from this situation, it wouldn't be strange to bring out a few more active Honored Ones, and even more slumbering Honored Ones.
At that time, the situation would become troublesome again.
Therefore, it was better to simply give Su Zhou full authority over the operation.
The youth who had been authorized smiled, and he looked down at the broken Darkshadow in front of him. A few rays of light flashed in his cyan-purple dragon pupils, as if he wanted to see through everything about the other party: "I don't have any old grudges with you Entropy Shadows. You don't have to worry about me retaliating."
"So, Pivot."
So he said, and then the youth stretched out his Blade of Annihilation and pressed it against Pivot's body.
He said lightly, "You have another choice."
"That is to surrender and stop the Entropy Shadow's invasion plan."
"Then, swear allegiance to me... Ah, no, then, join us and fight against the conspiracy of the Void Cult."
Originally, there was still a part of the plot to follow, but unfortunately I've been tinkering with the software for too long today, and I haven't finished writing it. Big chapter tomorrow!
