The Mountain God was merely playing at this moment; with His power, He could turn falsehood into reality with a casual word, easily eliminating Kira Yoshikage and Higashikata Josuke—at least, that's how the Mountain God saw it.
But suddenly, the Mountain God paused, His gaze fixed on the sky. Kira Yoshikage also stopped; he saw the future in the sky a minute later: a dense swarm of missiles flying towards them... Kira Yoshikage then looked at the mountain before him. "It seems I won't be needed. Farewell."
Kira Yoshikage showed a faint smile. Even if so many nuclear warheads couldn't destroy this fellow, they could at least blow a huge crater here, right? Then he could lend a hand... how interesting that would be.
The Mountain God's face grew out of the mountain. Mere nuclear explosions could not harm His divine body; no matter how many such attacks without divine power there were, they couldn't wound Him in the slightest. But He was starting to lose interest in playing.
"I declare, time shall pause at this very—"
Hearing this, Kira Yoshikage's eyes widened. 'This guy can stop time?! This is bad!'
His hand plunged directly into his chest. "Bites the Dust! Activate! Killer Queen: Bites the Dust, rewind time!"
Killer Queen instantly appeared on Kira Yoshikage's face. He let out a full-force roar, attempting to directly blow away the timeline, but a strange fluctuation emanated from the Mountain God's body.
Terrifying power collided with the time-reversing force of Bites the Dust. In an instant, both froze.
'What kind of power is this? This isn't a normal Stand! This power can actually contend with divine power. This guy is as unique as that kid!'
The Mountain God felt a trace of shock. He had initially thought this kid was just an ordinary transmigrator, but this collision instantly revealed something amiss. He had long noticed the insect arrow on the kid, but the insect arrow was just a meteorite.
How could a meteorite... The next moment, the Mountain God finally discovered the problem. The insect arrow within the opponent's body was coiled and twisted like a small snake, constantly roaring. That power surpassed that of a normal insect arrow.
Moreover, there seemed to be an even more mysterious insect arrow within him... And Kira Yoshikage was also shocked because the insect arrow that had always quietly lurked within him had come alive.
Not only that, the insect arrow directly grew out of Kira Yoshikage's brain, climbed to his eyeball, pierced through it, and emerged.
The beetle on the insect arrow seemed to come alive, turning its head to stare at the enormous Mountain God before it, emitting a strange buzzing sound. "Woo woo, buzz buzz buzz, woo buzz gurgle gurgle, guliang."
This was a language Kira Yoshikage had never heard, yet he understood it: [Deity, what magnificent power, but you are right, Kira]
Waves of information directly surged into Kira Yoshikage's brain via the insect arrow, but before he could fully comprehend this information, the missiles from the sky descended.
Due to the stalemate between the two, no one intercepted the missiles, and time was not paused. Higashikata Josuke took the opportunity to flee, intending to quickly complete his evolution and then settle scores with those two bastards. Meanwhile, with no one to manage them, the nuclear bombs simply fell... Dozens of massive mushroom clouds rose, and terrifying shockwaves collided with each other, like a giant forest of mushrooms.
And this was only the first wave. Within a few minutes, there was another nuclear attack, continuously cleansing this beach.
After three rounds of nuclear bombardment, the radiation here was off the charts, with radiation dust filling the sky. On this land, life had completely vanished.
Those civilians who had not evacuated were, without exception, completely killed by the nuclear cleansing. And on that battlefield, only one mountain still stood firm; the mountain had not suffered any damage, the entire mountain still stood there perfectly intact.
It was just that its base had thinned considerably, and there were large craters everywhere caused by the nuclear explosions. Although the nuclear bombs caused no harm to the Mountain God, they were still very powerful against the beach and land.
Kira Yoshikage had disappeared to who knows where, while the Mountain God emerged from the mountain. Standing on the mountaintop, He looked down at His surroundings, a hint of confusion in His eyes. At the very first moment of the nuclear explosion, He could no longer sense Kira Yoshikage.
"Is he dead? No, how could a mere three rounds of nuclear explosions kill someone like that? He must still be alive. Where did he go? Why can't I sense him?"
The Mountain God muttered, not noticing that, beneath the great mountain, a figure had already quietly climbed to the summit. That figure was Kira Yoshikage.
But he was like a dead man at this moment, without any aura. The insect arrow was embedded in the back of his head, and a strange power emanated from it, making him like a stone, devoid of any signs of life.
Just now, the insect arrow had already conveyed some information to Kira Yoshikage. Through its observation of the previous battle and its perception of power, it had summarized the Mountain God's abilities and informed Kira Yoshikage, telling him that his previous plan could not succeed.
He was not on the same level of existence as a god right now. It was no exaggeration to say that if the Mountain God wished, He could directly destroy the Earth. It was just that, due to the joy of acquiring a new world, He was acting like a child playing with crickets, treating him and Higashikata Josuke as crickets to play with.
Oh, no, to be precise, they were two valuable crickets. Their special abilities made the Mountain God significantly stronger, which was why He appeared quite gentle.
So, attempting a counter-kill was out of the question, but... it gave Kira Yoshikage another option... "Get to the past! You damned false god!"
A loud roar came from the foot of the mountain. The Mountain God instantly merged into the mountain, His eyes appearing at the base. Then He saw a large hole in the ground, which He had not sensed before. "Did it block my perception? What is this thing?"
The Mountain God frowned. He could sense that the insect arrow was somewhat special, something akin to a saint's relic. Although much weaker, it was still on a divine level, and His words could not directly modify it.
But before the Mountain God could figure it out, a terrifying explosion occurred beneath the ground. Instantly, a terrifying explosion swallowed the soil in a hundred-meter radius directly beneath the mountain, turning it all into energy.
Then, the terrifying energy surged into Kira Yoshikage's body, causing the last necessary growth to appear within him. The terrifying energy washed over his flesh, reaching an unprecedented level... The Mountain God sensed it. He instantly assimilated the surrounding land, moving His eyes down, and found Kira Yoshikage... But Kira Yoshikage displayed a benevolent smile, giving a thumbs-up to the Mountain God's eyes. His body was now covered in cracks, from which faint white light emanated, and trickles of blood spurted from within, then instantly evaporated and transformed into pure energy.
"Farewell!"
"Damn it, I declare..."
The next moment, Kira Yoshikage directly exploded. Surging power burst forth, like a colossal white sword piercing heaven and earth. The terrifying force pushed against the great mountain above, directly blasting the entire mountain out of the ground, sending it shooting into the cosmos like an arrow... Under the terrifying divine power, the mountain remained completely undamaged, yet it flew away... The mushroom clouds on the ground instantly dissipated, leaving a massive hole.
Immediately, a terrifying power permeated the mountain. Kira Yoshikage's death triggered Bites the Dust. Time, under the manipulation of Killer Queen: Bites the Dust, was rewound by one second.
