Chapter 348: "He Should Be Dead This Time, Right?" |
Thirty minutes later.
Chen Mang's eyebrows twitched slightly. Feeling a connection, he gave a faint nod, gaining a bit more confidence in his heart.
Thirty minutes ago.
He had spent a heavy sum to find a Train Captain at the front of the line, paying the man to stuff a Refrigerator into his Space Bag and carry it through the Bronze Gate. Such a small matter had taken him quite a bit of effort.
Mainly because...
The other party truly viewed the Bronze Gate as a holy site, believing that this act might be a form of blasphemy and a massive disrespect to Satan.
Of course.
Faced with enough profit, the other party ultimately and willingly accepted this bit of risk.
And now...
The line was rather long.
However, they moved quickly. What he had worried about did not occur; there were no checks at the entrance of the Bronze Gate. One only needed a Train Captain credential to enter, simply proving their identity as a captain.
He had already spent a little money to purchase this item before setting out.
Soon...
It was finally Chen Mang's turn in line. As he led Biao Zi and the others through the Bronze Gate, a hint of shock flashed through his eyes at the sight before him, and he raised an eyebrow in surprise.
It was indeed quite shocking.
Before their eyes was an extremely mysterious and profound tunnel, much like a Wormhole. Mysterious, multicolored lights flowed rapidly backward along the tunnel's periphery, carrying numerous rusted runes within their glow.
At the front of the tunnel.
Stood three statues.
Three figures clad in armor, their faces obscured, standing in place with giant swords in hand. Their postures were different, but all exuded a murderous aura.
This was the Holy Land.
It was also Satan's residence.
Here, one might have the fortune to witness Satan with their own eyes, the deity of this level-four Extreme Evil Civilization!
Within the tunnel.
Many Train Captains and their subordinates continued to line up. A few tables were set up in front of the statues, manned by men wearing white robes and white veils over their faces. They were processing paperwork for the captains. Once the procedures were complete, they could leave the Holy Land. These men were the staff of the Holy Land.
"Quite interesting,"
Chen Mang muttered under his breath, observing the scene.
From the looks of it, Satan did not seem like a fabrication made to facilitate rule, but rather a truly existing entity.
Before coming here, he had called Qi Ya over to ask about this.
He had not gotten much of an answer. She mentioned that she had never heard of a deity named Satan in the universe, and she clearly stated that there were no true gods out there. If anything had to be called a god, only the God Race could count as such.
Right at that moment...
"Is my domain to your liking?"
A voice tinged with a chilling cold suddenly whispered into Chen Mang's ear, sounding utterly apathetic.
The next instant!
Before he could even react.
A fierce gust of wind struck from behind. A man materialized at his back, his five fingers curled into a claw, carrying a howling gale as it stabbed straight toward the center of his back. A faint, stinging pain suddenly swept through Chen Mang's entire body.
Borrowing the momentum to dash forward a few steps, Chen Mang quickly spun around, gently rubbing his chest as he looked at the man standing where he had just been.
He was completely naked, save for a cape draped over his shoulders.
He did not have three heads or six arms.
Like a normal human, he had one head and two arms. However, two horns grew from his head, and a pair of massive crimson wings sprouted from his back, large enough to completely envelop his entire body.
He was able to share the defense of his train, thus avoiding lethal injury, but he still felt a stinging pain.
This meant...
This man's casual strike had unleashed an energy range exceeding Level 500!
Absolutely terrifying!
Meanwhile, the crowd in the tunnel dropped to their knees, their faces filled with fanatical zeal as they gazed at the man and shouted in unison.
"Satan is immortal, darkness is eternal!"
This person standing before him was Satan.
"Phew,"
Chen Mang let out a soft breath and raised a hand to stop Biao Zi and the others from acting. He looked at the naked man and chuckled softly, "Does Satan not have the habit of wearing clothes?"
Satan narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Chen Mang, who stood there looking completely unharmed. He felt a stir of doubt. His previous strike might have looked ordinary, but it was a full-power blow in his untransformed state.
Its destructive power was immense.
And yet...
This man seemed completely uninjured?
How was that possible? In his perception, this man was clearly a lowest-tier lifeform with an incredibly low rank. How could he have blocked that attack?
But none of these inner thoughts showed on his face. Instead, he flashed a dismissive smile. "Lowly human, your understanding is as foolish as ever."
"Adventurer from the Human Civilization."
"Congratulations."
"You have found yourself a fine graveyard."
"You will die here."
"Of course, you do have a second choice. If you are willing to tell me detailed information about the inner workings of the Human Civilization, and explain how you crossed 780,000 light-years to reach the Extreme Evil Civilization, I can spare your life. I might even make you the Knight Commander of the Holy Land, a position of great power and authority."
"This is a promise made in the name of Satan."
As his words faded.
The surrounding Train Captains and Holy Land staff cast looks of deep envy and jealousy toward Chen Mang. The Knight Commander of the Holy Land was truly a supreme position. It was akin to being a security captain, but being the security captain of the Holy Land was an entirely different matter.
"Is that so?"
The very next moment...
The brooch on Chen Mang's chest suddenly transformed into the massive Stellar Train, hovering above the tunnel. Simultaneously, he led Biao Zi and the others in a swift stride into the portable Refrigerator they carried, reappearing inside the train's control room.
The tunnel was massive and cavernous.
Even after undergoing multiple expansions, the Stellar Train still appeared extremely tiny within its confines.
From just a single exchange.
He knew his opponent was incredibly strong.
The energy released from a casual sneak attack was nearly at or above Level 500. But so what? His armor could repair itself rapidly. As long as the opponent did not exceed Level 500 by too much, they still wouldn't be able to shatter his defenses.
Without wasting another word.
As the train materialized.
The patterns on the six Akhenaten Light Energy Main Cannons atop the carriages lit up, entering a state of rapid charging. Immediately after, scorching light swept through the entire tunnel as six consecutive blasts from the Level 500 Akhenaten main cannons locked onto Satan and blasted outward.
The idle bystanders within the tunnel.
Were vaporized almost instantly.
In a battle of this magnitude, one could not spectate up close without possessing genuine strength.
This was nearly his strongest attack at present!
Level 500 Akhenaten main cannons. He had never used main cannons of this caliber against an enemy before. Their power was astonishing. Under the earth-shattering explosion, the tunnel was destroyed in an instant.
Revealing a vast, sprawling expanse of plains outside.
The tunnel was an artificial structure built by Satan.
The plains were the true Holy Land.
Meanwhile, the six Level 500 light energy beams from the Akhenaten main cannons blasted Satan to pieces, then continued hurtling into the distance without losing speed. They tore several holes into the horizon before gradually disappearing into the pitch-black voids.
"Is he dead?"
Chen Mang looked at the Target-Acquisition Radar on the screen, which showed that there were no living beings left in the vicinity.
The next second...
"Boom!!!"
A massive impact suddenly struck the bottom of the train. The previously hovering train was sent flying high into the air by a single punch, tumbling several times before stabilizing itself. Carriage No. 7 was left nearly battered to pieces by the blow.
Under the dual repair processes of the armor's own Overlimit Effect and the nano-spiders, it began mending rapidly.
Sitting at the control console, Chen Mang stared unblinking at the massive monster floating in the air not far ahead.
Its facial features looked somewhat similar to the Satan from earlier.
But its physical size had grown several times larger. The skin on its back had long been torn open, becoming rougher, harder, and deeply flushed. The hands that once resembled a human's had twisted into demonic claws and hooves, looking grotesquely swollen as if afflicted by severe gout.
The fleshy crimson wings on its back flapped slowly, each motion stirring up a powerful gale.
Its body appeared...
Without a single scratch.
"How is that possible?!"
Chen Mang's expression shifted slightly. He knew this battle might be tough, but he hadn't expected the enemy to be completely unharmed. He had clearly seen on the Target-Acquisition Radar that the opponent had been annihilated by that strike, his life force rapidly draining away.
Did he resurrect again?
That made sense.
Since Satan could resurrect his followers, he could naturally resurrect himself.
He quickly checked the Doppelganger Radar's scan of the area. There could be no resurrection without a cause. The enemy must have relied on some structure or method to revive. To truly kill Satan, he needed to destroy that structure first.
"Good, very good, you are very good..."
Hovering high in the sky, Satan looked down at his demonic claws, his eyes brimming with ruthless, bloodthirsty glee as he sneered. "My Past State died so easily by your hands. That took me three thousand years to cultivate."
"I didn't even have time to transform."
"Your strength exceeds my imagination. With this kind of power, you couldn't possibly be a nobody in the Human Civilization. In fact... it is highly likely that you are the leader of the Human Civilization."
"A single blast from a Level 500 Akhenaten Light Energy Main Cannon requires the consumption of one quadrillion units of iron ore, if I remember correctly."
"Six shots make six quadrillion."
"To casually throw away six quadrillion units of iron ore... has that remote star system of the Human Civilization become this wealthy?"
"Good."
"Very good!"
"It seems there's no need to mobilize an army. If I just capture you today, invading the Human Civilization will become incredibly simple."
"Next..."
"Experience the true form of Satan!"
The next moment...
The blood vessels all over Satan's body suddenly bulged, rising like mountain ridges until they ruptured in unison. Countless clouds of blood mist enveloped Satan, followed immediately by a furious roar that echoed across the plains.
"Blood Slaughter!"
A beam of crimson light, mixed with terrifyingly destructive power, smashed heavily toward the Stellar Train!
Piercing alarms instantly rang throughout the train.
"Warning, warning!"
"Incoming attack energy range is at Level 800."
Chen Mang's expression turned glacial. Plunging into a state of absolute calm, he swiftly shoved the control stick all the way forward, distancing himself from the blast zone as much as possible, while simultaneously pressing the Train Special Skill button on the console.
"Absolute Defense!"
The Level 50 SPY-7 Doppelganger Energy Shield and the Level 500 armor stacked their defensive attributes at this exact moment, pushing the total defense to Level 550!
This was already the train's maximum defensive capability.
But it still wasn't enough.
At the same time.
He tossed out two depleted, discarded Ore Stars, placing them right in the path of the incoming attack.
The next moment!
The crimson beam crashed down. After obliterating the two Ore Stars in rapid succession, it slammed heavily into the armor of the Stellar Train, which was attempting to evade sideways. The tremendous impact sent the train tumbling end over end multiple times.
The sound of agonizing wails and shrieks echoed through the train's speakers.
Clearly.
The situation inside the carriages was utterly catastrophic.
Many had died.
"Seems rather ordinary after all."
Satan was momentarily taken aback. Although he was a bit surprised that his ultimate attack had only inflicted this much damage, there was no way those two suddenly appearing Ore Stars could have weakened his strike that significantly.
But he didn't dwell on it.
After all, this opponent was quite strong.
In that case...
"How about taking another shot?"
Satan rolled his neck with a sinister grin. The blood vessels on the surface of his body rapidly bulged once more, bursting open to form clouds of blood mist that wrapped around him as a crimson beam gradually condensed in his hands.
"Why aren't you fighting back?"
"Are you out of resources?"
"Foolish train civilization, are you nothing but paper tigers without resources? This attack of mine requires zero resource consumption, you know."
Meanwhile, inside the control room of the Stellar Train!
Xiao Ai was busy broadcasting some frantic, disaster-themed background audio clips that Zhang Yiren had stored in the data drives.
Inside the train...
Not only had no one died, but their strength had reached an unprecedented peak!
"..."
A smile played at the corners of Chen Mang's mouth. Sitting at the console, he stared intently at the screen.
"Train Armor Level: 580."
After the train's armor was upgraded to Level 500, the Overlimit Effect it gained allowed it to absorb all incoming energy and temporarily convert that energy into armor defense. The reason he had made such ample preparations earlier...
Was simply because he wasn't sure if the phrase 'incoming energy' included attacks like Satan's, or if it only counted things like light energy main cannons.
In uncertain circumstances, one must always prepare for both outcomes.
The facts proved it.
He was completely immune to Satan's ultimate move, and it could even enhance his own strength.
All he had to do now was goad Satan into using that ultimate attack on him a few more times. That way, he would be able to completely crush him.
Right at that moment...
Another crimson beam smashed down!
This time, the Stellar Train didn't even attempt to dodge. It was blasted straight into the air, tumbling along the ground several times before struggling to hover again. Its armor level had surged to Level 660!
In reality.
Once the energy attack was absorbed, it carried absolutely zero kinetic force. All the tumbling was purely the result of his own manual controls.
Soon, Chen Mang's pained laughter rang out from the external speakers on the train: "That hurt... But... you can only unleash attacks of this magnitude twice in a row, right? Now it's my turn."
"Oh?"
Satan, who had been preparing to rush in and finish the job with his fists, paused. Flapping his fleshy crimson wings in the air, a glint of disdain and arrogance flashed in his eyes as he sneered, "Foolish human... it seems you truly do not understand what Satan is, what a god is!"
"Today—"
"I will show you the power of a god!"
The next instant!
The patterns on the surface of Satan's fleshy crimson wings suddenly radiated an eerie, deep-purple light. Even the surrounding space began to distort, spawning countless fissures that revealed pitch-black, unknown entities hiding behind the gaps.
Immediately after!
Countless fragments of deep purple slowly materialized high in the sky. Like a torrential storm, and accompanied by Satan's furious roar, they engulfed the entire Stellar Train!
"Divine Punishment!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
A dense cacophony of explosions erupted endlessly all around the Stellar Train.
This attack was even stronger.
At this exact moment, the strength of the Stellar Train's armor soared to Level 760!
"Is this your limit? Then it really is my turn to attack."
"Fine, take your best shot."
Satan suddenly calmed down, his eyes gleaming with a cold light. Studying the train that had merely tumbled around but emerged completely unscathed after his Divine Punishment, he began to sense that something was wrong.
In the beginning.
He could clearly nearly destroy one of the train's carriages with a single punch. Yet, this very same train had endured several of his ultimate moves without taking any damage?
This...
Was obviously suspicious.
Could it be...
That this train possessed the ability to grant immunity against energy attacks, but couldn't defend against physical attacks?
Following that thought!
Without waiting for the train to make a move, his fingers twitched slightly, and he vanished from his spot. Leaving a trail of countless afterimages, he appeared above the Stellar Train's control room almost instantly, roaring as he slammed a savage punch downward.
He quickly retreated immediately after.
Looking at the Akhenaten Light Energy Main Cannon that he had scrapped with a single punch, and the deeply dented, nearly shattered armor of the control room, he slowly broke into a grin. "Cunning human, Satan has already seen through your petty little schemes."
"I forgot to tell you."
"Energy attacks are merely something I was forced to learn to cope with the wars of the universe."
"The most powerful tool the Demon Race possesses from birth... is the raw strength of the physical body."
"This is my greatest specialty!"
The next instant!
"Ultimate Form, activate!"
Satan let out a bellowing roar, and his body began to transform once more. The veins and blood vessels across his physique became vividly visible. The purple blood coursing through them could be clearly seen, creating a stark contrast against his crimson wings.
He radiated an even greater sense of explosive power and sheer might.
"How troublesome."
Sitting inside the control room, Chen Mang looked up at the fissure above him, his brows furrowing slightly. A single strike had cracked his Level 760 armor. This was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered.
This kind of adversary.
Xiao Lu would not be able to fend off at all.
If Xiao Lu even dared to swallow him, the opponent would punch right through its stomach.
At this point.
There was only one way left.
The next moment...
The Stellar Train rapidly reverted into a brooch and disappeared from where it stood.
He slipped away.
Right after.
The Stellar Train appeared in the Dark Abyss. The Doppelganger Radar indicated that not far ahead was the Level 4987 light beam that had been traveling through the Dark Abyss for tens of millions of years!
He shoved the control stick forward, plunging straight toward it!
"He ran?"
Satan hovered in the high skies. After casting his divine sense outward and confirming that the opponent wasn't hiding in the Pseudo-Fourth Dimensional Space, but had genuinely fled and vanished, his expression turned dark and ugly.
His Past State had actually fallen.
And he had let the enemy get away.
What an absolute humiliation!
However.
The enemy had also suffered significant injuries this time and consumed a massive amount of resources. It was the perfect opportunity to launch an invasion. It was a pity he hadn't caught the man; otherwise, he could have interrogated him for the coordinates of the Wormhole built by the Human Civilization, which would have saved him quite a few resources.
Truly wealthy.
Tossing out six quadrillion resources so casually?
That train must be the strongest one in the Human Civilization. Did they learn of his impending invasion through some means, and came early to execute a decapitation strike?
"Hmph."
Satan scoffed coldly, sweeping his gaze across the surroundings before dropping his transformation. The tunnel he had painstakingly constructed was completely ruined, and even the Holy Land had been blown full of holes. Repairing it was going to be a real hassle.
A Level 4987 blast from a light energy main cannon looked like nothing more than a tiny red dot on the Doppelganger Radar.
But viewing it with the naked eye revealed an earth-shatteringly spectacular scene!
In the distance.
It was a pillar of pure white light that far exceeded all physical limits. It was blindingly radiant amidst the pitch-black silence of the Dark Abyss, with a luminosity that far surpassed a supernova explosion, capable of instantly vaporizing any matter in the universe!
Level 4987!
No.
It wasn't Level 4987.
It had grown to Level 4988!
This was a terrifying attack that, once it reached the Dead End Star System, could instantly annihilate the entire system. It would spawn a massive cosmic black hole, ensuring that any galaxy within a million light-years would fail to escape its gravitational pull.
If he possessed even one method to redirect this attack...
As long as he chucked it into the Extreme Evil Galaxy.
From then on, the name Satan would cease to exist in the entire universe.
"..."
Chen Mang sat in his control room, gazing at the pillar of pure white light far ahead. The space in front of it had already begun to severely distort. He could even vaguely make out a few miniature black holes within the white light—born rapidly from the shockwaves, only to be swiftly destroyed.
Anyone else.
Would be utterly incapable of surviving an attack like this.
The distance was still vast.
But the energy ripples were already affecting this sector.
Chen Mang's face remained placid as he shoved the control stick to its limit. At an extreme velocity, the Stellar Train hurtled directly toward the light beam, as if seeking death!
In reality.
An ordinary train would have already begun to disintegrate at this proximity. They could never accomplish what he was doing.
He was only able to charge in completely unscathed because of his armor's Overlimit Effect!
But even so.
The visual impact was overwhelmingly intense.
Gradually, gradually...
In Chen Mang's eyes, the area engulfed by the white light grew larger and larger until it completely filled his vision. He didn't know how long passed, but the train suddenly shuddered violently before everything fell silent.
And Chen Mang's eyes had gone completely blind.
He was currently being treated inside the Medical Pod.
As he approached the epicenter, he only took one glance.
Just one single look.
Caused his eyeballs to rupture right inside their sockets.
It was a brilliance infinitely more radiant than a supernova explosion. The light emitted by a star couldn't even compare to a supernova, as a supernova's brightness was at least tens of billions of times greater than a star's!
Even the brightest star paled in comparison to the most ordinary supernova.
A supernova was one of the most violent optical phenomena in the universe!
Yet, the scorching beam of light before him was brighter still. It was hard to imagine that this was an attack method created by humanity.
By the time Chen Mang stepped out of the Medical Pod and sat back down inside the control room.
He looked at the screen on the train's console.
Thirty-nine days had passed since he fled from Satan's grasp. The blistering pillar of light was visible to the naked eye just ahead, but even at the Stellar Train's speed, it would take thirty-nine days to truly reach its core.
Of course.
This was the result of a two-way convergence; the beam of light was moving far faster.
And as of now, his train's armor level had skyrocketed to Level 1987!
An...
Absolutely terrifying number.
"..."
Sitting in the control room, Chen Mang looked at that number and slowly broke into a grin. When he had initially absorbed Satan's energy attacks, the conversion rate into armor levels had barely reached one-tenth.
This time, it was close to one-half.
The main reason was...
The energy intensity of the light cannon escalated almost exponentially alongside its level.
The destructive force of a Level 4000 light cannon wasn't just ten times that of a Level 400 cannon; it was hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times greater.
They were on entirely different echelons.
Although there was only a single zero's difference in digits, an insurmountable chasm existed between them.
The latter could effortlessly obliterate a planet one hundred thousand kilometers in diameter, whereas the former could casually wipe out a galaxy hundreds of thousands of light-years across.
And a galaxy spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years possessed at least hundreds of billions of such planets.
"Then..."
"This time, it is my turn to strike."
Using the Refrigerator, Chen Mang traced his path backward and returned to the Holy Land, materializing inside the tunnel once more. Clearly, over the past thirty-nine days, Satan had managed to somewhat repair the damages from their previous skirmish.
Without a shred of hesitation.
He fired off another blast from the Level 200 Akhenaten Light Energy Main Cannon. It effortlessly annihilated the tunnel, exposing the flat plains once more.
His Level 200 Akhenaten main cannon only consumed one hundred million units of iron ore per shot.
While the Level 500 version required a mere one hundred billion units.
The Stellar Train had tens of quadrillions of units stored inside!
As long as his defenses held up, he could literally bury Satan to death under the sheer weight of his resources!
Since 99.99% of the resources consumed by the light energy main cannons were drawn directly from the 'Stellar Cabin', he only needed to personally foot the bill for 0.01% of it.
The Level 500 Akhenaten main cannons, which other civilizations of the same rank would treat as a trump card attack, could be casually spammed by him as basic attacks.
The next instant...
"Damn it all."
A furious voice slowly resounded above the train. Satan, once again in his strongest form, with purple blood flowing fiercely through his veins, flapped his crimson wings as he hovered in mid-air. His expression was twisted as he gritted out his words one by one.
"Do you have any idea how much time it took me to build this tunnel?"
"This time..."
"I will not give you another chance to escape!"
Following that.
Satan didn't hesitate for a split second. Having learned his lesson from last time, he bypassed energy attacks completely. Leaving a myriad of afterimages trailing through the sky, he instantly reappeared above the Stellar Train and unleashed a full-powered, devastating punch right onto the control room's armor.
From just that single punch.
Even the very fabric of space shattered, exposing countless ruptures.
All the Train Captains and staff present within the Holy Land were caught in the shockwave. Instantly erupting into mists of blood, they died on the spot!
However...
This time.
Not only was there no crack in the armor, but it remained completely unblemished. The train didn't even shudder the slightest bit.
"How is this possible?"
Satan froze for a moment. Although he had no idea what had happened, he took a deep breath, his features contorting into a feral mask. His fists rained down upon the armor like a violent thunderstorm, every single punch tearing the very fabric of space apart!
"Tsk."
Sitting inside the control room, Chen Mang couldn't feel any vibrations whatsoever. Leaning back comfortably in his chair and watching the spectacle unfold on his screens, he couldn't help but laugh. "The sense of security brought by Level 2000 armor is truly exceptional."
Just to be safe.
Before arriving, he had upgraded both the 'Permanent Shock Absorber' and 'Built-in Spatial Stabilizer' components to Level 500. So sitting inside the train right now, he felt practically zero turbulence.
He didn't feel a thing.
Level 2000 armor...
The security it offered was unparalleled!
Unfortunately.
This was only a temporary state. To permanently reinforce the armor to this level would require a mountainous sum of resources. Even pooling all the assets of both the Extreme Evil Galaxy and the Dead End Star System together might not be enough.
But...
After devouring the Extreme Evil Civilization this time, he should be able to permanently raise his armor to Level 1000!
Honestly, he figured that Level 1000 armor was more than enough to deal with Satan. After all, even in his strongest form, Satan's energy output peaked at around eight or nine hundred—nowhere near the thousand mark!
A glimmer of bewilderment gradually appeared in Satan's eyes, and he ceased his torrential barrage of punches. He didn't even know how many strikes he had thrown, yet the train's armor remained immaculate. This state...
It was...
The gap in power was simply too vast for him to break through its defense.
He searched his mind for a long time before recalling a long-forgotten memory.
How long had it been?
It had been ages since he had encountered a defense he couldn't break!
The opponent had merely been gone for a few dozen days. How had they suddenly grown so powerful that his full-force blow was rendered completely impotent?
Lost in a momentary daze.
He didn't even notice that, while crouching just outside the control room of the Stellar Train, the five Akhenaten Light Energy Main Cannons positioned directly behind him had already finished charging. By the time he realized it, it was far too late!
Five beams containing hyper-concentrated energy obliterated his physical defenses in the blink of an eye. His entire body erupted into blood mist before being vaporized by the blinding light.
"He should be dead this time, right?"
Chen Mang stared at the footage on the Doppelganger Radar and clicked his tongue, muttering, "He can't possibly resurrect a second time, can he?"
Xiao Ai's voice quickly rang through the train.
"It certainly appears that way, Captain."
"..."
Chen Mang looked out toward the front of the train, only to see Satan, who had just been blasted into smithereens, rematerialize before them once again. He was still entirely naked, though this time his raw physical power seemed astronomically stronger. And the blood coursing through his veins was...
Pitch black!
The crimson wings upon his back had also shifted into absolute darkness. His overall aura had intensified immensely. Hovering high in the air, his burning gaze pierced straight through the windshield, locking dead onto Chen Mang as he sneered out his words, syllable by syllable.
"Congratulations!"
"You are the first one fortunate enough to witness my Future State!"
