Facing this strongest of the Specters, everyone was at a loss for what to do.
At that moment, the strongest in their group, Ajuka, stepped forward. His hands began constructing the Conqueror Formula, and he also unleashed countless magical arrays to attack Huang.
Seeing this, the golden Cosmos emanating from Huang's body radiated a terrifying absolute zero. Huang raised his arms high, the armor on his arms merging to form the shape of a water jug. Behind him appeared a statue of Aurora, the Goddess of Dawn from Roman mythology, holding a water jug.
"Aurora Execution!!" A seven-colored Aurora erupted from the jug's spout. Then, Huang swung down at a right angle, unleashing an absolute zero cold wave of seven-colored auroral light from the jug.
Wherever it passed, massive ice pillars rose. All of Ajuka's magical arrays were completely frozen.
Seeing the absolute zero Aurora was almost upon him, Ajuka hurriedly activated the Conqueror Formula to deflect the attack's trajectory.
The Aurora Execution, deflected, shot into the red-and-black starry sky of the Underworld, transforming into a dazzling auroral light.
Although he had deflected the attack aimed at him into the starry sky, Ajuka was still hit. His right arm was caught in the residual wave of that absolute zero, the entire limb frozen into ice.
Clutching his frozen right arm, Ajuka broke out in a cold sweat, gritted his teeth, and glared at Huang, thinking: 'This guy's cold is truly terrifying. It's almost surpassing Serafall.'
"Wait!! I'm not down yet!" At that moment, Vali's voice came from behind Huang. His body could now be described as battered and broken. Even in his Balance Breaker state, his armor was riddled with cracks of various sizes.
Looking at Vali's current state, Huang said disdainfully, "Hmph~!! With that shattered body and armor, you still think you can stop me?"
"Even if... my body is broken... I still want to know where my sister is..." Vali said with difficulty, taking heavy, plodding steps towards Huang.
Seeing Vali covered in wounds, his eyes still burning with an unyielding fighting spirit, Huang couldn't help but praise, "Not bad willpower. Even with your body on the brink of Death, you don't give up. That spirit is commendable."
"Then I'll just destroy your brain nerves directly and make you fall!" Huang's tone shifted. His entire body erupted with a terrifying, demon-like Cosmos. He clenched his right fist tightly, adopting a posture ready to strike at any moment.
"Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist—!!" Huang unleashed a single dark-red, lightspeed punch, directly attacking Vali's brain nerves.
"..." Vali didn't even have time to scream. His Balance Breaker deactivated, and he collapsed to the ground. His eyes were rolled back, his face a mix of unwillingness, resentment, and shock.
At that moment, Issei Hyoudou's body burned with intense dragon flames, melting the frost covering him. He slowly stood up, looked at Vali who had completely lost his aura, and immediately shouted angrily at Huang:
"What did you do to Vali?! Why does he have no aura at all?!"
Huang shook his hand dismissively and walked forward slowly, saying, "Vali Lucifer is dead. I used the legendary demonic fist, the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist, to destroy his brain nerves."
"You bastard!!" Hearing Huang's words, Issei Hyoudou roared and charged forward. He switched to his Welsh Sonic Boost Knight form, the thrusters on his back multiplying several times over as he rushed at Huang with incredible speed.
"Great Horn!!" Huang's Cosmos once again turned golden as he thrust out both palms with force.
Moo, moo, moo, moo—!!!
Its speed surpassed light, like a golden wild bull with massive horns charging at Issei Hyoudou. Issei, in his Welsh Sonic Boost Knight state, couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying by the Great Horn.
"Gah—!!" Issei Hyoudou traced an arc through the air, coughing up a mouthful of red blood before crashing to the ground, creating a large crater.
With Issei Hyoudou and Vali falling one after another, everyone fell into unprecedented despair.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!
Just as Huang was about to finish off the others, four magic circles rose beside him. From them flew four chains shimmering with magical light, binding Huang's limbs.
Huang's face twisted with hatred. Gnashing his teeth in anger, he said, "This is!! 616!!"
616 was an extremely vicious sealing formula, originally written by the God of the Bible to seal Imperial Beast 666. It was so powerful it could easily kill a deity.
Because Huang had been sealed by this formula for millennia, he held a deep loathing for it.
Looking at the chains binding his limbs, Huang murmured, "I never thought that after the old man God of the Bible died, someone could still use 616."
At that moment, Ajuka, having thawed the ice on his right arm, and Rosweisse stepped forward. Ajuka spoke up, "This 616 is just a replica. Although its sealing power is far inferior to the original, it's more than enough to restrain you for now."
"If it were the original 616, my former self might have been terrified. But to the current me, this is just a slightly sturdier chain!!" The phantom of Imperial Beast 666 appeared behind Huang again. The chains ignited with black Apocalypse Fire and began to gradually shatter.
"Rosweisse! Plan B!!" Seeing the chains breaking, Ajuka felt a sudden sense of foreboding and hurriedly shouted to Rosweisse beside him.
"Yes!! Lord Ajuka!!" Rosweisse responded loudly, two powerful magic flashes appearing in her hands.
Immediately, a large magic circle identical to the ones in Rosweisse's hands materialized beneath Huang's feet. Like sinking into quicksand, Huang slowly began to sink into the magic circle.
"What's this? Dimensional transfer. So you want to trap me in a separate dimension to stall me. But this is only temporary. I'll break free soon enough." Huang saw through their plan at a glance, looking at Ajuka and Rosweisse as he spoke.
Huang's words held no threat for Ajuka and the others. Ajuka closed his eyes, lowered his head, and said:
"That's true. However, many guests are already waiting for you in that dimension. They will give you a proper welcome, Beast of the Apocalypse."
"Oh? That sounds somewhat intriguing." Huang looked up at Ajuka, a ferocious smile spreading across his face.
As soon as the words were spoken, Huang completely sank into the separate dimension.
Ajuka and the others seized this opportunity to heal Issei Hyoudou. As for Vali, his brain nerves had been destroyed by Huang; he was beyond saving.
After recovering, Issei Hyoudou tightly grabbed Ajuka's arm, his expression agitated as he said:
"Vali?! What about Vali?!"
Ajuka pulled his arm free, could only lower his head, close his eyes, and shake his head. Then, Issei Hyoudou looked at Rosweisse, his gaze clearly asking about Vali's condition.
Rosweisse averted her gaze, closing her eyes, unable to meet Issei Hyoudou's eyes. She spoke with difficulty:
"Huang destroyed all his brain nerves. The White Dragon Emperor... is dead."
"How could this be... Vali..." Issei Hyoudou collapsed to the ground in a daze, looking at Vali and beginning to weep bitterly.
As if hearing Issei Hyoudou's cries, Vali, who should have been dead, suddenly moved a finger. Color returned to his eyes. He stood up and looked at Issei Hyoudou, saying:
"You look pathetic! Issei Hyoudou!! Is this the man who can be called my rival?!"
"Aaaaah—!!" Seeing Vali rise from the dead, everyone let out piercing screams, staring at Vali with utter astonishment.
Seeing this, Issei Hyoudou stopped crying, a look of pleasant surprise on his face as he said:
"Vali, I knew you were okay!"
"What's going on? Weren't you dead?" Ajuka asked, looking at Vali with a puzzled expression.
"I did it." The jewel on the [Divine Dividing] wings on Vali's back emitted Albion's voice.
Hearing Albion speak, Ddraig said with some surprise, "Albion, you have a technique that can resurrect the host?"
Albion explained, "No, actually I don't have such a technique. It was the previous hosts within the Divine Dividing. Dozens of their consciousnesses sacrificed themselves, using their remaining power to transform into life force that flowed into Vali's body. That's how Vali was revived."
Hearing Albion's words, Vali placed a hand on his chest, a pained expression on his face.
