Chapter 166: The Patchwork Monster that Stole Divine Power! The Backlash of Forced Evolution!
Boom!
The violent Impact burst forth, and the huge recoil directly sent Sleigurt flying dozens of meters away, heavily slamming into the alloy wall.
"Your defense is indeed good!" The giant woman roared as she climbed to her feet, "But the potential of evolution goes far beyond this!"
The flesh on her arms violently wriggled and reorganized, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into two ferocious and terrifying biological cannon barrels.
The muscles at the muzzle were knotted, and two destructive beams of red and blue instantly gushed out, doubling the lethality compared to just now!
Ryan once again propped up the golden shield to block the bombardment, clicking his tongue in wonder inwardly.
Forcibly transforming flesh and blood into mechanical turrets, this mutation method certainly has some merit.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded crisply in his mind.
"Ding!"
"Your 'Crimson Contract Chains' have been stimulated by complex energy, successfully activating the 'Devour and Transform' gene!"
"Congratulations! Your chains now possess the magical effect of plundering and transforming the enemy's superpowers!"
It was like being handed a pillow right when feeling sleepy! Ryan didn't hesitate, his mind moving slightly.
Two thick, blood-colored chains shot out like venomous snakes leaving their cave at an ultra-high speed invisible to the naked eye. With two soft thuds, they directly pierced Sleigurt's twin biological cannons!
The dazzling red and blue dual-colored energy poured backward crazily along the chains.
"Ah——!"
Sleigurt let out a miserable scream, and her two proud, massive flesh cannons instantly shriveled up like withered wood.
"That's absolutely impossible! How dare you suck away my power?!"
The giant woman fell into utter madness.
"Your power? Don't flatter yourself; it's just stolen loot."
Ryan said in a bantering tone, "I casually borrowed it to use, why not?"
Sleigurt was also a ruthless character. Gritting her teeth against the excruciating pain of her severed arms, granulation tissue surged wildly on her shriveled hands.
In just a few seconds, two brand-new biological cannon barrels formed once again, and another round of violent lasers poured down.
Ryan remained calm and composed as the blood-colored chains flexed their might once more, skillfully twisting the newly grown arms into smithereens.
Amidst flying pieces of flesh, the giant woman regenerated her severed limbs once again with her formidable regenerative power, but deep in her heart, she was terrified to the extreme.
The skin of the Skrulls was incomparably tough, making it difficult even for the main guns of interstellar warships to blast through. Why was it as fragile as a piece of waste paper in front of this human's magic, being casually punctured like rotting wood?
Why was this kid so outrageously strong?! What on Earthwas this peerlessly sharp magic?!
"Continue to evolve! Give me even stronger power!" Sleigurt, driven into a desperate situation, roared hysterically.
Claiborne in the rear hurriedly urged the cube, and the deep blue beam of light enveloped her once again.
The surface of the giant woman's newly grown hands rapidly keratinized, finally condensing into a layer of transparent shell as brilliant as a diamond.
The carapace refracted a mysterious halo, exuding an indestructible and heavy texture.
Seeing this, Ryan manipulated the blood-colored chains to lash out fiercely.
Clang!
A teeth-grating sound of metal clashing suddenly echoed.
This seemingly casual tentative strike was actually blocked raw by this layer of diamond carapace!
Ryan's expression shifted slightly.
Oh? Can it really withstand it?
Now this is finally starting to get interesting.
However, wanting to target Kamar-Taj's magic was a bit whimsical.
Ryan waved his hand casually. The chains behind him instantly turned into wildly dancing venomous snakes, branching out into countless tricky angles and sweeping across like a blanketting storm.
In the blink of an eye, the fatal sharpness had already approached the vital points all over the giant woman's body.
"Futile effort!" Sleigurt roared arrogantly, "The same trick will never work on me a second time! This is the supreme law of evolution!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Ryan's tone was as calm as water, "Who told you that I am using the same power?"
Before his voice fell, the blood-colored chains had already tightly wrapped around Sleigurt's huge body.
The dazzling red light suddenly erupted!
Like the scorching magma gushing out from a crater, the surface of the chains instantly erupted with a terrifyingly ultra-high temperature.
A nauseating burnt smell immediately permeated the air.
The giant woman's proud diamond carapace and tough skin rapidly carbonized under the terrifying high temperature, turning into a section of charred charcoal in the blink of an eye, as if completely losing its vitality.
Crack!
The crisp sound like a bird breaking out of its shell spread out.
A crack split open on the surface of the charred carbon shell, followed by a loud bang as a brand-new Sleigurtforcefully crawled out of the waste shell.
"Your bones are really tough; you still don't die from this."
Ryan shook his head slightly. This green-skinned lizard was simply more tenacious than cockroaches in the sewer.
"Didn't expect that, right?! I've come back to life again!"
Sleigurt roared hysterically, "My vitality is endless! I am the incarnation of immortality!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hands and actually used energy to condense two thick red and blue long whips, imitating Ryan's appearance from just now, and lashed over fiercely.
"Learning on the spot?" Ryan's figure tilted slightly, easily dodging the destructive long whip that pierced through the air.
Looking at the knock-off version of the chains produced in the opponent's hands, Ryan grew slightly interested.
This kind of learning ability where she could imitate seven or eight tenths of it just by looking at it once was indeed quite tricky.
He knew very well that the giant woman could have such an exaggerated performance entirely thanks to the blue cube in Claiborne's hands backing her up in the rear.
If she hadn't run into him, looking across the entire Earth, there probably wouldn't be many people who could handle this monster.
The indestructible alloy floor nearby had long been blasted into scum during the previous clash.
"The methods are indeed fancy," Ryan commented casually, "but relying solely on borrowed external force, do you even deserve to challenge me?"
Ryan flipped his palm and gently wiped across the void.
A transparent, strange ripple instantly rippled out, as if covering the entire World with an invisible thin film.
In less than the time it takes to blink, Sleigurt was forcibly pulled into the Mirror Dimension by him.
Ryan hovered quietly in mid-air, staring at his prey like watching a play.
"Now, continue to show off your evolution stunt," Ryan said in a leisurely tone.
Sleigurt's eyes were full of vigilance; naturally, she wouldn't easily believe the enemy's words.
"The law of evolution is invincible! Grant me supreme power!"
She raised her head and roared, holding her arms high, striking a fanatical posture of channeling the great power of the Universe.
Time passed minute by minute.
One minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
It was quiet in mid-air, and not even a trace of energy fluctuation appeared.
Sleigurt stood stupidly in place with her hands raised high, looking precisely like a mentally deranged mad person.
"What? Can't feel your master's favor anymore?" Ryan mocked out loud.
The two of them were now in a completely isolated parallel dimension. Wanting to draw power across the spatial barrier was simply wishful thinking.
Sleigurt panicked completely.
Having lived for countless centuries, she had never encountered such a bizarre situation!
"Damn bug! What kind of despicable trick did you use?!" She cursed hysterically.
Losing the harmonization of the blue cube, the two top-tier energies forcibly stitched into her body immediately began to riot crazily.
The two forces of crimson and deep blue collided violently in her meridians, bringing terrifying, soul-tearing excruciating pain.
The giant woman's facial features distorted violently, and her whole body twitched in pain.
"Despicable trick? This is the purest magic." Ryan's eyes were indifferent, "You can't borrow power purely because you are too weak."
The Mirror Dimension was not absolutely closed. As long as one's strength was formidable enough, one could completely and forcefully pierce through dimensions to draw energy.
Obviously, this green-skinned lizard simply didn't possess this capability.
"Alright, this farce should also come to an end." The corners of Ryan's mouth curved up slightly.
In the palm of his hand, a dazzling, brilliant golden light was rapidly gathering.
Since this monster could continuously resurrect by relying on frantic cell proliferation, completely vaporizing her into ashes directly was the safest solution.
Ryan's mind moved slightly, immediately awakening the most destructive thunder magic.
"Ding!"
"Your 'Bolts of Balthakk' contain the supreme law of destruction, enough to obliterate all living beings from the conceptual level."
"Your 'Bolts of Balthakk' proudly state: Lord can indeed instantly kill her, but Lord refuses to strike today, Lord just likes to idle and watch the show!"
The moment the system prompt fell, the mad golden thunder in Ryan's palm wrapped around his body like a wandering dragon, crackling loudly.
The violent electric arc made him look like a deity wielding heavenly punishment, maximizing the sense of oppression directly.
Sleigurt on the opposite side was frightened out of her wits.
She had never witnessed such despairing energy fluctuations!
Even when facing the majesty of the Celestials back then, it was far inferior to the fatal threat felt at this moment.
If she were struck by this golden thunder, there would definitely be no bones left!
The instinct for survival overcame the excruciating pain. Sleigurt desperately squeezed her cellular potential, and the flesh on her arms wriggled and proliferated wildly, forcibly stacking up an incomparably thick giant flesh shield in front of her, preparing to meet the Earth-shattering ultimate blow.
However...
Ryan maintained his handsome pose of raising his hand, without making any movement for a long time.
Hiding behind the meat shield, Sleigurt poked out half her head with a puzzled face, completely failing to understand what the enemy was dawdling about.
On the surface, Ryan was as steady as Mount Tai, but in his heart, he had already cursed eighteen generations of the system's ancestors, almost being angered to the point of vomiting blood on the spot.
Chapter 167: Spatial Blade Shatters the Stars! The Annihilating Light of Chaos!
Inside the Mirror Dimension, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Fortunately, Rayne had strong psychological resilience; since his shoddy lightning only provided special effects, he simply treated himself as background scenery.
He swept his hands across the void in front of him, and a completely transparent glass blade instantly condensed and formed.
"It seems you're at your wit's end!" Sleigurt said, her eyes full of disdain. "The exact same trick will absolutely never work on me a second time!"
On the thick fleshy shield in front of the female giant, a layer of ghastly white bone armor rapidly proliferated.
The surface of the white bones presented a diamond crystal structure, warm and smooth like jade, looking indestructible at first glance.
With this layer of defense, Sleigurt gained immense confidence and mocked loudly, "Don't waste your effort! This is polymer-aggregated bone, enough to withstand temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees. Even a planet-destroying main cannon can't blast it apart. You actually think you can break my defense with that broken knife in your hand?"
"That sounds pretty intimidating," Rayne nodded slightly.
Ordinary metals melted at a few thousand degrees; for a biological body to evolve armor capable of resisting temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees could truly be considered a miracle of the Universe.
However, the Dimensional Blade was no conventional weapon.
It had no physical entity whatsoever, being purely compressed from spatial fragments.
To block spatial cutting, unless one used cosmic laws of the same tier, relying on physical defense was purely a daydream.
Rayne didn't hesitate at all. With a casual wave, the transparent blade instantly sliced through the air, leaving a pitch-black spatial rift in the void along its path.
Sure enough.
The supposedly indestructible giant bone shield was, before the Dimensional Blade, practically more fragile than a piece of soft tofu.
The transparent edge penetrated the defense line without any obstruction, plunging directly into Sleigurt's massive body.
The violent power of space detonated explosively inside the female giant's body!
The pitch-black rifts spread wildly, resembling the sickle of the God of Death, ruthlessly slaughtering every single one of Sleigurt's cells.
"No! I am immortal!"
Sleigurt's facial features distorted violently as she let out a desperate roar.
At this critical juncture of life and death, her left hand instantly transformed into a sharp bone blade, slashing fiercely at her own neck!
To survive, she actually chopped off her own head with her own hands!
The moment her head left her body, her massive headless remains were twisted into a bloody mist by the violent spatial turbulence, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.
At the severed part of the head that rolled to the ground with a gurgling sound, countless granulation tissues wriggled wildly.
In the blink of an eye, a brand-new tall body grew back, and the green-skinned female giant stood intact in her original place once again.
"The power is indeed horrifying," Sleigurt panted heavily, her eyes ferocious. "But it's meaningless! As long as a single cell survives, I can infinitely regenerate!"
Ignoring the excruciating backlash pain caused by the conflict of the two dissimilar energies within her body, she forcibly kneaded the red and blue powers together.
A basketball-sized energy orb shimmering with a destructive halo formed instantly, and she slammed it fiercely toward Rayne.
As long as it detonated, the violent mighty force contained within it would definitely tear everything apart.
How could Rayne give her the chance to succeed? He gripped the void with his right hand, and an amethyst longsword flowing with purple light was prominently in his grasp.
Flipping his wrist, the amethyst longsword chopped down fiercely from top to bottom.
The red and blue intertwined energy orb was directly split in two, its cut smooth.
Before the unbalanced energy could even detonate, it completely dissipated in mid-air.
"Since leaving a single cell allows you to revive, wouldn't it work if I blast you and your soul entirely into nothingness?" Rayne said in a calm tone.
"Ding!"
"Your 'Chaos Orb' has attained enlightenment on the Law of Destruction, and its killing intent is boiling!"
"The 'Chaos Orb' has compressed the destructive energy to its peak state, ready to blast apart all obstacles at any time!"
Rayne slowly opened his palm, and a colorful orb of light emerged out of thin air.
Innumerable kinds of heart-palpitating violent powers circulated on the surface of the orb of light.
Having campaigned for many years, Rayne had collected an unknown number of top-tier energies, all of which were kneaded into the small orb of light before him.
Once detonated, it would surely be a heaven-destroying and earth-shattering disaster.
Rayne flicked his finger lightly, and the Chaos Orb fluttered away.
"You think you can kill me with just such an inconspicuous trick?"
Sleigurt's face was full of contempt.
Before the Chaos Orb erupted, all its aura was restrained to the extreme, looking completely unremarkable.
The female giant did not dodge at all, letting the orb of light float right in front of her.
"No one can kill me! I am indestructible!" Sleigurt roared up to the sky.
The next second, doom descended.
Centered on the Chaos Orb, tens of millions of dazzling, scorching white rays of strong light blasted apart!
All colors were swallowed by the white light.
A destructive frenzy, resembling the ultimate divine punishment sent down by the Creator, carrying incomparable destructive power, wildly swept through the entire Mirror Dimension.
Even the sturdy dimensional space shook violently, as if it would completely collapse at any moment.
At the center of the white light, Sleigurt's cells proliferated frantically, attempting to resist the destruction.
However, the power erupted by the Chaos Orb was like a bottomless abyss, surging and endless.
Every newborn cell was crushed into pieces by the violent energy in an instant.
No matter how desperately she struggled, she could not survive even a fraction in the heaven-destroying and earth-shattering light.
In the end, Sleigurt completely turned into dust drifting with the wind, unable to leave behind even a trace of soul residue.
Until everything returned to dead silence, Rayne waved his hand to dismiss the Mirror Dimension.
With a flash of his figure, he returned to the magnificent royal palace of the real World.
High upon the throne, Claiborne still sat steadily, as if nothing had happened.
"It seems Sleigurt has died at your hands."
Claiborne stared dead at Rayne, his expression unprecedentedly solemn.
He had lived for countless centuries and had never seen such a terrifying human.
The destructive magic that had just descended made his soul tremble.
However, as the supreme god of his entire race, he absolutely could not retreat.
Not only did he want to wash away his past shame, but he also wanted to crush the formidable enemy before him with his own hands, recasting the supreme glory belonging to the Skrulls!
Rayne stared at Claiborne ahead, his expression carrying a hint of oddness.
This fellow across from him had clearly witnessed his terrifying combat power, yet still didn't run?
Could it be that he still held some trump card in his hand?
Just as he was wondering, Claiborne spoke to urge surrender, "Earthling, you are indeed formidable. Now, I give you one last chance to survive. Obediently submit to me and become a loyal dog under my command."
"You're thinking too much. I don't have the habit of being someone else's dog."
Rayne casually spread his hands, and a completely transparent glass light blade emerged directly in his palm.
"It seems you've chosen a dead end."
Claiborne slowly stood up from the high throne.
"You think I slept for tens of thousands of years just to take a big nap?"
Claiborne's voice was deep, revealing a trace of madness. "I have been evolving all along!"
Before his voice faded, he violently grabbed the blue cube suspended in mid-air and slammed it fiercely into his own chest with a heavy slap!
Miraculous light burst and flashed.
The hard cube instantly became ethereal, completely fusing into his body.
"Today, let you witness what an ultimate physical body is!"
Blue flowing light circulated wildly across Claiborne's body surface.
His body expanded rapidly as if it were being inflated, turning into a terrifying monster with knotted muscles all over and a physique comparable to the Hulk in the blink of an eye.
Rayne was full of question marks.
Just this?
What was so scary about a blockhead who purely stacked muscles?
Not to mention Father-level powerhouses, any mage from Kamar-Taj who skillfully mastered the Portal could walk such a muscle monster devoid of any agility like a dog.
How could anyone in the World still use such a form as a trump card?
Just as Rayne intended to make a move to teach him how to behave, a sudden change occurred.
Snap!
An incomparably manic blue lightning descended abruptly from mid-air, striking straight and true right on top of Claiborne's head.
"I! Have finally regained my freedom!"
"Skrull scum, you must pay the price today!"
The rough roar was deafening.
Without even turning around, Rayne knew it was that idiot Thor who had run over to join the fun.
Thanks to Rayne's timely intervention, Thor did not suffer a severe beating from the Purple Sweet Potato, and his strength was preserved quite well.
But precisely because of this, the current Thor still maintained his stubborn, reckless ruffian nature.
Before Rayne could voice any obstruction, Thor had already grasped Stormbreaker tightly with both hands, charging straight up like a mad bulldozer.
Chapter 168: The Ultimate Evolution of the Muscle Maniac! Thor Being Rubbed Against the Ground! "Prepare to die! You despicable villain who imprisoned a king!"
Thor shouted slogans, swung his battle-axe, and delivered a violent bolt of lightning straight at the giant's face.
However, the lightning, which was powerful enough to melt alloy, landed on Claiborne's face without burning even a single hair.
"Lightning? Truly feeble." Claiborne was completely unharmed, his tone full of disdain, "Only evolution is the truth of the Universe!"
Facing lightning akin to divine punishment, he couldn't even be bothered to dodge, lashing out with a heavy punch instead.
Seeing this, Thor was not only unfazed, but overjoyed.
As the new king of Asgard, close-quarters physical combat was his most proficient specialty!
He could even withstand the extreme heat of a star head-on, yet someone wanted to test fists with him?
That was purely courting death!
Thor decisively abandoned the lightning bombardment, similarly swung an iron fist, and violently smashed it against the opponent's offensive.
Bam!
A muffled loud bang erupted, resembling two hammers crashing into each other.
The smugness on Thor's face instantly froze.
He felt as if his punch had landed on an indestructible solid iron mountain, and his bones were almost rattled apart.
The next second, Thor was sent flying backward like a punctured football.
After heavily crashing to the ground, he slid backward for dozens of meters before barely stopping.
"How is this possible! By what right do you possess such brute strength!"
Thor scrambled to his feet, his eyes full of existential doubt.
He clearly felt that the giant's freakish strength before him even surpassed that of a frenzied Hulk!
"I don't believe this!"
Like an undying cockroach, Thor once again urged the lightning behind him to spray and accelerate, transforming into a stream of light to rush up for hand-to-hand combat.
Bam, bam, bam!
After continuous clashes, the battle situation was completely one-sided.
Thor's fists smashing onto Claiborne were like smashing into a ball of cotton, completely lacking any solid feedback.
On the other hand, a casual punch from the giant striking Thor's waist could make him break out in cold sweat from the pain.
After just a few moves, Thor was directly grabbed by the arm by Claiborne, pinned backward to the ground, and crazily pummeled.
The new king of Asgard was completely beaten into a daze.
With a blank expression on his face, he completely couldn't understand why his proud physique lost so miserably.
Ren, hovering in mid-air, saw the battle situation clearly.
The giant's strength was actually not much stronger than Thor's.
The key was that the monster was too tanky, its defense mechanism abnormal to the extreme.
When the first bolt of lightning released by Thor struck down, the opponent even paused slightly.
By the second bolt, he was completely immune. Even more terrifyingly, he could perfectly adapt to and dissolve even pure physical strikes.
An old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years indeed had a few tricks up his sleeve.
If it were replaced by ordinary Avengers, they would definitely be exhausted to death alive.
Seeing that Thor was about to be beaten into minced meat, Ren finally made a move.
A transparent spatial ripple flashed.
The next second, Thor, beaten black and blue, directly disappeared from under the giant's fist, falling out of thin air beside Ren.
"Let me go! I can still fight for another three hundred rounds!"
Wearing a pig-head-like face, Thor was still struggling desperately, attempting to rush back and fight to the death.
"Alright, save some energy." Ren's fingers moved slightly, and a powerful magic directly pressed Thor firmly in place.
Claiborne looked up at Ren, his voice like deep thunder: "Do you see clearly now? This is the majestic power of the ultimate evolution! Even the king of Asgard is vulnerable in front of me."
"Earthling, will you continue to stubbornly resist?"
Claiborne at this moment was inflated to his peak.
After pinning Thor to the ground and fiercely rubbing him.
He only felt that the frustration accumulated in his heart for many years instantly vanished into thin air.
Life simply couldn't be better.
What was the death of a wife?
As long as he grasped absolute power, what kind couldn't be found across the entire Universe?
Furthermore.
The two of them had been living together as partners right from the start.
If not for that, how could he have watched his partner go to her death with open eyes just now?
Nowadays.
He had become the truly unique god in the true sense of the Skrull race.
The supreme dictator.
About to master the mighty force that made galaxies tremble!
As long as he resolved the human blocking his way in front of him.
He could immediately start the hegemony of conquering the vast Universe.
Claiborne stared dead at Ren.
"Earthling."
"At this point, who else can you expect to save you?"
"I am already peerless in the world!"
Claiborne roared.
His entire body shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring.
His iron fist, as large as a sandbag, swung out violently.
The air couldn't bear the terrifying extrusion, making a teeth-aching screech.
A shockwave cannon condensed from highly compressed air went straight for Ren's face.
Ren appeared completely unguarded.
Yet his body moved automatically as if it had eyes.
With just a light dodge to the side.
The fatal air cannon roared past, brushing against the corner of his clothes.
Ren backhanded and joined his fingers into a sword, his fingertips blooming with a dazzling dark golden edge.
He stabbed accurately toward Claiborne's chest.
Sizzle!
The tough flesh was instantly pierced through with a blood hole.
However.
At the wound, granulation tissue surged crazily, stopping the bleeding and healing in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a trace of a scar.
The golden glow at Ren's fingertips flashed again, taking advantage of the momentum for another strike.
This time.
It unexpectedly left only a shallow white mark on the opponent's skin!
"Hhahahaha!"
"Have you witnessed it!"
"This is the ultimate esoteric meaning of evolution!"
"My body possesses endless adaptability."
"Your attacks have completely failed against me!"
Claiborne laughed endlessly, like a violent heavy armored vehicle rumbling over.
The indestructible alloy floor was forcibly stepped on by him to create sunken giant footprints.
"Ren, watch out, this monster's strength is too bizarre."
"Never go head-to-head with him!"
Although Thor was a one-track-minded reckless man.
But the physique of the Asgardian was indeed abnormal.
Those flesh wounds from just now had already healed mostly by now.
Seeing that Ren actually didn't dodge or evade and intended to punch against the monster.
Thor was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted loudly.
After all, he had personally experienced the opponent's freakish strength.
It was definitely not something a mortal flesh body could endure!
Bam!
Thor's words hadn't even finished landing.
The two fists, one large and one small, had solidly crashed together.
A visible, transparent Impact centered on the two of them boomed outward.
After the powerful collision.
Ren calmly withdrew his fist, standing in place as steady as Mount Tai.
On the other hand, Claiborne opposite him.
unexpectedly retreated several steps uncontrollably.
Every step back smashed a deep pit into the alloy ground.
Ren flicked his wrists.
"It seems that your boasted invincible power is just so-so."
Ren's tone was as calm as water.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Claiborne hadn't had time to refute.
Thor, not far away, shrieked in disbelief.
How could things turn out like this!
During the fight just now.
Thor, facing the exact same freakish strength, had had no room to even parry.
Yet.
Why did Ren not only not feel the slightest bit strained,
but even gained the upper hand in a head-on collision?
Thor desperately rubbed his eyes.
He saw Claiborne wincing as he massaged his wrist.
Obviously.
The punch just now had caused him to suffer a huge loss.
Thor's entire mind was in utter disarray.
What kind of ghost situation was this?
He had always known that Ren's physical body far exceeded ordinary people.
But he only thought that
Ren's physique was at most on par with a god like himself.
But the reality before him slapped him hard across the face.
On par?
This was simply a violent monster draped in human skin!
Thor's shock did not interrupt the battle situation.
After Claiborne suffered a setback.
A trace of unhideable horror flashed across his face.
"As expected of the prey I regard as a formidable enemy."
"The strength you possess is indeed breathtaking."
"But after all, it is futile."
"You simply cannot understand what dimension the majestic power I grasp belongs to!"
Chapter 169: Ultimate Physical Suppression! ThorQuestioning His Existence!
A dazzling blue eerie light flashed.
Claiborne's entire body muscles underwent a bizarre expansion once more.
At this moment, he
had completely departed from human form.
He was practically transformed into a terrifying giant monster piled up by a mountain of flesh.
His height skyrocketed to over five meters, and his entire body was covered in knotted muscle lumps.
Resembling the ultimate mutant running out of a biochemical movie.
Accompanied by heavy footsteps,
Claiborne launched another charge.
"Ding!"
"Your 'Ultra Instinct' has sensed blood boiling after a long time."
" 'Ultra Instinct' believes that a real man should fight fist to flesh."
"Bombarding with magic is simply too unmanly!"
Ryan listened with black lines on his head.
What kind of magical brain circuit was this skill of his?
Did it really have to come down to close-quarters hand-to-hand combat to be considered a true man?!"
Resigned as he was,
Ryan indeed felt a wildly peerless power surging through his limbs and bones.
As if every inch of muscle was filled with energy about to burst.
Solely relying on pure physical coercion,
the surrounding air began to vibrate violently.
A terrifying aura that made souls tremble permeated all around.
"That's right."
"It should be like this."
"This is the most ultimate fury!"
Claiborne roared hysterically.
With a twisted and ferocious expression, he crushed over like a moving mountain of flesh.
The giant fist covered in ghostly white bone carried a World-destroying might as it smashed down.
The air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.
Ryan did not yield at all, similarly greeting it with a punch.
One big, one small.
Two disproportionate fists.
Compared to Claiborne's water tank-sized iron fist,
Ryan's fist appeared incomparably tiny.
However,
it was precisely this seemingly insignificant fist
that contained horrifying great power enough to shatter stars.
The violent power stirred up visible ripples in the air.
Boom!
An extremely muffled loud noise.
Following closely,
a violent wave of air soared into the sky.
The hall's sturdy alloy floor was seemingly torn apart alive by an invisible giant hand,
transforming into countless metal fragments fiercely blasting in all directions.
Ryan's fist edge erupted with a destructive might.
Claiborne's proud giant arm
actually exploded on the spot!
A sky full of blood mist erupted with a bang.
This arm that had undergone ultimate evolution
was actually beaten directly into a sky full of minced meat with a single punch!
Claiborne's massive body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
The half of his body that lost its right arm even hung limply.
He stared fixedly at Ryan,
his eyes filled with undisguisable fear.
"How is this possible!"
"On what grounds can you burst out with such shocking monstrous strength!"
"Just now you clearly weren't this formidable!"
Claiborne shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Just now?"
"Who stipulates that one must use their full strength during the probing stage?"
Ryan said in a casual tone.
After hearing this, Claiborne almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
However,
right in the brief gap of speaking,
his battered body was self-reorganizing at an astonishing speed.
The healing ability was obviously a bit more perverted than Thor's divine body.
"Do you still want to continue?"
Ryan watched coldly,
violent power still poised at his fingertips.
Claiborne's mouth corners twitched wildly and uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Thor at the side
was already dumbfounded from watching,
with his mouth wide open, resembling a soulless sculpture.
He had previously thought
that although Ryan was very strong, it was still somewhat within the scope of understanding.
Until now,
Thor sorrowfully discovered how ridiculously wrong he was.
This is called very strong?
This is clearly strong to an unreasonable degree!
Even Asgard's sealed forbidden magic might not be able to cause such terrifying destructive power.
A physical body that even gods could not shake
was actually blasted away casually with a single punch?
Thor completely fell into a dead loop of doubting his life,
his worldview collapsing.
Why was the gap between the two as distant as the galaxy?
Exactly which link went wrong?
A spellcaster hiding and cultivating in Kamar-Taj,
on what grounds could his physical strength be perverted to this extent?
Is there still any justice left in this World?
Thor was on the verge of tears,
his eye sockets red, but he couldn't squeeze out even a single tear.
He,
the dignified new king of Asgard,
this life is really fucking unlivable!
Thor was madly questioning his life at the side.
In the exact center of the battlefield, Claiborne displayed a vitality that was stubborn to the point of perversion.
The strong-on-strong collision just now caused the Skrull god's whole body muscles to tear, making it too ghastly to look at.
On the other hand, Ryan was completely unharmed,
his pure white mage robe not even getting a speck of dust on it; if someone said he was a true immortal descended from heaven, people would believe it.
"Hurry up and use whatever ultimate moves you have left; if you don't act now, you won't have any chance at all." Ryan's tone was plain.
Looking light and breezy on the surface, Ryan maintained utmost vigilance in his heart.
The Universe is vast, and bizarre methods are as numerous as cow hairs. Even creation gods might capsize in the gutter.
The Skrull leader before him was beaten violently yet still fought to the death without retreating; he was definitely not stupid.
Since he wasn't stupid, he must be hiding trump cards sufficient to turn the tables.
Facing Ryan's composure, Claiborne instead gritted his teeth.
He felt that Ryan delaying his attack was purely out of cowardice and not daring to step forward.
"Don't get cocky, this is my home turf!"
Claiborne roared sternly, the terrifying wounds on his body healing completely in the blink of an eye.
"Today, either you die or I perish!"
As soon as the words fell, the monster directly ran over.
His stout body underwent mutation again, muscles writhing frantically, literally turning into an Outer God offspring in Cthulhu Mythos.
Completely departing from the category of humans, he became a hair-raising monster.
Sharp bone spurs half a meter long even popped out from his huge fists.
Speed and power soared comprehensively, and his might was horrifying.
Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly, raising his hand to meet it with a heavy punch.
Boom!
The violent air wave swept open with a bang, and the surrounding giant alloy buildings were shaken until they were tottering.
Thor was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, fearing he would be crushed to death by the collapsing ceiling.
Both sides of the battle were simply too perverted.
Thor finally recognized reality: he was still far too far away from true top powerhouses.
After the clash, Claiborne was miserably crushed.
A whole arm was broken off at the root, the pale white bone stubs were directly exposed to the air, and half of his chest had completely collapsed.
Replaced by anyone else, they would have been thoroughly dead long ago.
Yet the old monster only took a few seconds for his battered body to recover as good as new once more.
Ryan's mouth corners twitched slightly,
he was simply more stubborn than cockroaches in the sewer.
It seemed he must kill him with a single strike, completely evaporating all his body cells.
"Ding!"
"Your 'Crimson Contract Chains' absorbed the powerful enemy's evolution power and successfully triggered a mutation!"
"Congratulations! 'Crimson Contract Chains' awakened the 'Annihilation' special effect; upon hitting, it can greatly suppress the enemy's self-healing ability!"
After hearing this, Ryan blossomed with joy in his heart.
His own magic could always bring surprises at critical moments.
He casually dissipated the destructive thunder light accumulating in his palm.
Seeing this, the opposite old monster immediately laughed arrogantly.
"Hahahaha! Why did you take the magic back?"
"Is the magic power in your body already bottoming out?"
"Mages really are all a bunch of paper tigers with a tough exterior!" Claiborne clamored wildly.
Ryan rolled his eyes.
A reckless fellow who only thinks with muscles talks way too much nonsense.
Ever since he learned magic until now, he truly didn't know what the taste of exhausting magic power was like.
"You're celebrating too early."
With a wave of Ryan's hand, several thick dark red chains suddenly protruded from behind him,
resembling a few violent abyss tentacles, exuding a horrifying fluctuation that made one's heart palpitate.
Before Claiborne could react,
swish!
The blood-colored whip tore through the void, and with a squelch, directly pierced through Claiborne's collarbone.
"Ah——!"
A shrill, miserable scream like a Beast on the verge of death echoed through the ruins.
The seemingly casual stabbing unexpectedly brought a deep, soul-tearing excruciating pain.
The Skrull god, who had been gritting his teeth to endure, rolled all over the ground in pain for the first time in history.
His face was twisted, desperately trying to tear off the chains on his body.
Unfortunately, it was completely useless. The blood-colored chains were indestructible.
What was even more terrifying was that around the pierced wound, the flesh was rapidly turning into a dead ash color.
Vitality was being wildly extracted, and the Annihilation special effect exerted divine might!
Rip!
A hair-raising tearing sound rang out.
Claiborne was also a ruthless character, actually tearing off a small half of his body along with the chains alive.
Large chunks of pale dead flesh fell to the ground. His remaining large half of the body quickly retreated, regrowing new flesh.
"Damn reptile!"
"I originally didn't want to go this far."
"You forced me into this!"
Claiborne's eyes were crimson, resembling a crazy wolf starved for ten and a half months.
Rumble!
The earth trembled.
As if a magnitude 8 earthquake had occurred, the entire Skrull sanctuary began to shake violently.
Ryan frowned slightly, noticing that the situation was bad.
His figure flashed, grabbing Thor by the collar and directly rushing into high altitude.
Looking down from above,
the magnificent sanctuary collapsed with a crash.
The surrounding ground cracked inch by inch, as if some unspeakable behemoth was about to break out of the ground.
Splash!
A crimson tentacle over a hundred meters long suddenly drilled out from underground, heading straight for Ryan to strangle him.
Ryan was seasoned in battle, easily completing evasion in the air.
Following closely, the earth completely shattered.
A terrifying mountain of flesh entirely stacked by minced meat and limbs slowly rose from the surface.
The surface was covered with densely packed broken limbs and arms, and the art style was horrifying to the peak.
Taking even a glance made people feel mentally polluted, frantically dropping sanity.
Ryan's gaze was cold and stern.
What disgusting gadget had the old monster conjured up?
Before he could think much more, the massive mountain of flesh suddenly spread a pair of thousand-meter-long flesh and blood giant wings.
Right in the very center of the mountain of flesh, a scrawny ultimate mutant unexpectedly appeared.
The face was eighty percent similar to Claiborne.
And Claiborne's own mutilated upper body was bizarrely fused within the flesh and blood on top of the monster's head!
Chapter 170: Planet Collapse! Creation God [Oblivion] Descends!
"Hahaha!" Claiborne laughed wildly.
"See that? This is the greatest divine body! Do you feel the power to destroy the World?"
Eight incomparably thick flesh tentacles burst out from the ground, resembling sky-supporting giant pillars as they smashed directly down towards Ryan's head.
The berserk power even compressed and distorted the air.
However, the consequence of being too large was that the speed was too slow.
No matter how strong the power was, it couldn't even touch a corner of Ryan's clothes.
Ryan casually swiped in front of himself, directly opening a Portal, and kicked the dumbfounded Thor into the Mirror Dimension.
Having a burden with him made it impossible to let go and fight.
Having dealt with Thor, Ryan turned his head to look at the flesh giant monster in front of him.
"The appearance you've conjured up is truly uniquely ugly." Ryan curled his lips in disgust, "I haven't seen much power, but it's enough to disgust someone into vomiting."
Ryan's five senses far exceeded ordinary people. Just taking a glance at the stench and twisted style emitted from the monster's body surface would give someone nightmares for several days.
"Once the fight is done and wrapped up, I must cast an oblivion spell on myself to completely delete this memory, otherwise I won't even be able to eat."
Ryan's heartfelt disgust deeply stung Claiborne's self-esteem.
"Damn reptile!" Claiborne roared, "What do you understand? This is the supreme shell of a deity!"
As soon as the words fell, the monster's lips moved frantically.
Layer upon layer of eerie noise instantly burrowed into Ryan's mind.
The sound was like tens of thousands of madmen chanting scriptures in the brain at the same time, all fanatical prayers and roars, making people dizzy and disoriented.
Ryan slightly frowned, immediately urging his magic to completely isolate these annoying noises.
"Mental pollution?" Ryan's expression sank slightly.
The old monster indeed had some tricks. If an ordinary person heard these noises, they would be brainwashed and corrupted on the spot.
Claiborne's movements did not stop, and he was still chanting in his mouth.
Soon, a layer of sacred milky-white light blossomed from his massive mountain of flesh.
Clearly a pile of sickening minced meat, after being draped in white light, it actually exuded an aura of inviolable sanctity.
It looked vividly like an Angel descending to the mortal realm.
Ryan's gaze was cold and stern.
This was clearly mind interference that distorted cognition.
If an ordinary person were to take a glance, they would likely kneel and surrender immediately, degenerating into the monster's fanatical believers.
Ryan immediately spread his mental power, instantly covering the entire Planet.
The scene fed back by perception shocked his heart.
All the Skrulls on the Planet were now kneeling flat on the ground with full body prostration, their faces full of fanaticism.
Chanting prayer words in unison.
In the sky, countless thin threads invisible to mortal eyes tightly connected all the Skrulls and Claiborne together.
Majestic faith energy was continuously pouring into the giant monster's body.
Some Skrulls who had been squeezed dry had even turned into shriveled skeletons.
"No wonder the vitality is so perverted." Ryan's eyes were icy, "Treating the believers of the whole clan as a power bank to suck blood, you really are a thorough Loki."
As long as the believers are not destroyed, the deity does not die. This was the most headache-inducing part.
Bathing in the white light, Claiborne's physical body began to proliferate frantically again.
Over a hundred huge tentacles ejected from behind him, and the whole person expanded into a giant sea urchin that blocked out the sky and sun.
"Even your self-awareness has been polluted by the stray thoughts of faith, how pathetic." Ryan mocked mercilessly.
Absorbing faith could indeed skyrocket strength, but without a sufficiently tough will, one would be assimilated into a madman by the stray thoughts of hundreds of millions of believers.
Claiborne was now obviously on the verge of madness.
He frantically waved hundreds of tentacles, smashing around without any rules.
Rumble!
Every blow that fell would tear a bottomless rift out of the earth.
In just a short moment, the magnificent Skrull Holy City was completely razed to the ground, turning into a piece of ruins.
Ryan's figure turned ethereal, quietly hovering in mid-air. The tentacles dancing all over the sky couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes.
Looking at the violently vibrating space and the boundless white ocean of faith, Ryan felt a slight headache.
The size was too exaggerated. If he really let go and bombed, what would happen if he accidentally blew up the entire Planet?
"Hahaha! This is true invincibility!"
"No one can think of stopping me!"
Claiborne fell completely into frenzy, and the entire Planetwas almost submerged by the white light sea of faith.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Ryan hesitated no longer.
He gripped emptily with his right hand, and a dazzling amethyst longsword formed instantly.
The longsword swelled against the wind, turning into a giant blade tens of meters long, which Ryan casually waved.
Swish!
A thick tentacle snapped in response and crashed to the ground.
But it was of no use; the flesh at the broken end crawled, and in the blink of an eye, a brand-new tentacle grew out again.
"Cutting off one is not enough, let's just cut them all off."
Ryan's wrist flipped. The amethyst giant sword in his hand instantly turned from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
A dazzling purple sword wheel suddenly unfolded behind him, like the descent of divine punishment!
Hundreds of huge amethyst longswords fell from the sky like a meteor shower, accurately severing the dancing tentacles all over the sky.
Ryan's offensive was fierce, seeming to instantly occupy an absolute upper hand.
However, a despairing scene occurred.
As soon as the shattered remnants landed, even thicker tentacles grew out from the deep underground once again.
It seemed endless, and they simply couldn't be killed completely.
"It's all a waste of effort! No matter how you struggle, it's useless!"
Claiborne roared at the top of his lungs: "I possess infinite mighty power, my physical body can absolutely not be obliterated!"
Before his words fell, the flesh on his chest crawled frantically, reorganizing into a bizarre organ.
Following that, a blinding blue pillar of light burst out from his chest, shooting straight into the clouds.
The dark clouds beyond the nine heavens were evaporated into nothingness by the high temperature.
"You can even do energy bombardment, the mutation is getting more and more outrageous." Ryan shook his head helplessly.
He knew very well in his heart that he absolutely could not continue to drag this out.
If the monster was allowed to grow wildly, ghost knows what deformed thing it would mutate into.
Anyway, the Skrull race was already hopeless, so he might as well eliminate it together with the entire Planet.
"Ding!"
"System Prompt: Your 'Crimson Contract Chains' feels extremely irritated about failing to kill with a single blow!"
"System Prompt: Your 'Crimson Contract Chains' has forcibly loaded a one-hundred-percent oblivion special effect!"
Hearing the prompt, Ryan smoothed his brows.
Without any hesitation, his figure retreated violently, leaping directly into the vast space.
Looking down, a massive blue-green Planet quietly floated in the pitch-black deep space.
However, centered around the magnificent Holy City, dazzling crimson was frantically spreading across the surface.
Judging by the current expansion speed, in no time, the entire Planet would completely degenerate into a huge flesh hotbed.
All Skrulls would be forcibly absorbed, tightly sewn together with the monster.
"The Skrull civilization has completely drawn to a close." Ryan sighed inwardly.
Hovering in the vacuum, dark red berserk magic power began to surge frantically around Ryan.
In just a few seconds, a giant chain a hundred times thicker than a mountain suddenly formed behind him.
Ryan swung a single arm forward fiercely.
The earth-destroying mighty power poured out along his limbs and bones.
The sky-supporting giant chain was like a World-destroying mad dragon, fiercely smashing towards the Planet below.
The cosmic void seemed to be forcibly torn into a huge vortex, and countless meteorite fragments and space debris around it were instantly sucked into it.
The terrifying sense of oppression shook the entire huge Planet until it began to tremble.
Boom!
With a momentum of rolling away withered weeds, the Crimson Chains directly penetrated the crust and fiercely plunged into the deepest core of the Planet.
At the moment of impact, pure pitch-black Death aura suddenly erupted from the surface of the chain.
It was as if even the light of the surrounding galaxies was about to be completely devoured.
Crack!
The soul-shattering cracking sound echoed in the vacuum.
The massive Planet surface instantly cracked into countless bottomless canyons.
Lofty mountains, vast continents, deep oceans, bustling cities... everything ushered in an end in desperation.
The pitch-black power of oblivion, symbolizing the absolute Death at the end of the World, was like the arrival of the Universe's doom.
No matter could resist a single fraction.
The Planet collapsed and shattered with a bang.
The red flesh that was frantically expanding seemed to have its vitality drained in an instant, withering into flying ash all over the ground in the blink of an eye.
Desperate and shrill screams came from deep beneath the surface.
Meaningless. Even the World was falling apart; no matter how loudly Claiborne screamed, he couldn't escape Death.
Bang!
A super-massive explosion that could not be described in words swept across the galaxy.
At the very center of the Planet, a deep black hole collapsed directly.
Massive amounts of matter shrank inward frantically, being completely swallowed by the ruthless darkness.
An entire living Planet was crushed, compressed, and completely annihilated in an extremely short time.
In the end, only an inconspicuous pitch-black singularity remained at the center of the explosion.
Within a radius of several light-years, all existence was wiped out cleanly.
As if nothing had happened, everything returned to dead silence.
Ryan slowly withdrew his right hand.
Casually grabbing into the void, he pulled the dumbfounded Thor out of the Mirror Dimension.
He prepared to head back. He had already probed before doing it earlier; there was no aura feedback of Earthlings on the surface at all.
Obviously, the captives of the Avengers had long been safely transferred by another group of people.
The crisis was lifted, and there was no need to stay long.
But just as he was about to turn around, Ryan instantly sensed a trace of bizarreness.
The mysterious black spot not only did not dissipate as the explosion subsided, but instead expanded outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The surrounding cosmic rays were directly sucked into it raw.
Even the boundless light of the stars could not escape its clutches, and the entire stellar region turned into a pure dark wasteland in the blink of an eye.
"What a terrifying energy level."
Ryan's expression changed abruptly.
Without any hesitation, he raised his hand to slash open a spatial crack, lifted a foot and kicked Thor in, forcibly sending him away.
Without a burden by his side, he dared to concentrate fully on the mutation ahead.
"What a cosmic joke..."
Ryan's mouth twitched violently.
The black singularity completely collapsed, forming a massively huge void gate.
It was definitely not some natural celestial body, but clearly a cross-dimensional channel forcibly opened!
Because the existence about to descend was too heaven-defying, it caused the primary Universe's laws to instinctively repel and resist.
It had to sacrifice the massive matter of an entire Planet as an equivalent exchange before it could barely squeeze in!
The mighty figures who could make such a terrifying display could be counted on two hands across the entire Universe.
Combined with the nihilistic aura exuded, other than the five Creation Gods, no one else could possibly be thought of.
Excluding Galactus, who only cared about running everywhere to find food, only one great deity completely matched the oppression in front of him.
The youngest yet most unfathomable existence among the five deities — Oblivion!
The ultimate abstract conceptual entity of the MarvelMultiverse.
Although lacking a flesh-and-blood entity, it wielded endless destructive mighty power.
Legend has it that with just a thought, it could freely rewrite or even erase the timelines of countless parallel Universes.
Such an ultimate monster living in myths had actually descended in its true form!
Strictly speaking, Oblivion could not be counted as a divine clan in the conventional sense. Calling it some kind of pure concept was more apt.
The cognition of countless living beings towards "destruction and nihilism" jointly nurtured this great deity.
The symbols of everything moving toward an end were all its sources of power. In other words, it was the materialized form of "non-existence".
As long as there was still someone in the multiverse who knew the concept of destruction, it would forever remain undefeated and immortal.
The upper limit of its strength was simply immeasurable.
Casually creating, modifying, and obliterating timelines was like everyday business.
Various complex causality weapons hit it without even splashing a drop of water.
As long as it was willing, it could reset all matter in the entire Universe to zero in an instant, not even leaving you a single quark.
To put it without exaggeration, the multiverse in its eyes was perhaps just a fantasy dream that could wake up at any time.
Facing the supreme existence ranking at the peak, Ryan couldn't help muttering doubts in his heart.
As the dignified ultimate big shot of the multiverse, instead of staying in the endless void, what kind of excitement was it running to join in this barren backwater?
Under normal circumstances, a great deity's body was comparable to the superposition of countless Universes, and moving slightly would trigger disasters.
Doubts aside, Ryan's preparations under his hands did not stop.
The Infinity Stones within his body activated instantly, and the surging top-tier divine power rushed frantically between his limbs and bones.
While waiting in full battle array, Ryan suddenly raised his head.
An indescribable figure stood strikingly in the void.
The newcomer had no human characteristics at all, looking instead like a cold mechanical puppet.
On the smooth, mechanical-like head, fine and eerie micro-light flickered.
Staring closely, the micro-light actually reflected an endless sea of stars alternating between birth and destruction.
What was most creepy was that on the deity's body, not a shred of aura fluctuation could be felt.
