--- Chapter 179 ---
"Try again, Kid."
This line hits Cao Cao hard for a second, realizing the blue-haired monster in front of him is the real deal. He couldn't help but stare at Huo Yuhao solemnly because some gods rumored him entering a comatose state.
It's been a year since Huo Yuhao's disappearance after conquering the Realm of the Death and killing Hades on the foot of Olympus Mountain.
'He deflected my Truth Idea... Even Indra didn't take my attack so easily and had to dodge.' Cao Cao prepared a plan to win in this unexpected situation.
He glanced at Huo Yuhao's dark lustrous halberd, frowning because that weapon possessed immense presence. And not to mention the swirling energy on its tip, which seemed to have a dangerous gravitational pull.
'Cao Cao, Heracles, and Connla have coveted the sword. We are free to go now.' Georg's voice appeared in Cao Cao's head, making the bearer of True Longinus smile inside.
Cao Cao pulled a magecraft from his clothes and showed Huo Yuhao a blue crystal. "Let's meet again, Blue-Eyed Dragon God." He clenched his hand, destroying the crystal into dust.
"Siegfried's life, I'll repay it in threefolds."
A magical energy erupted around Cao Cao's group and caused a mass teleportation magic. Huo Yuhao watched these delusional youths and shook his head disappointedly.
"Null." Huo Yuhao doesn't even move from his position.
SWOOOOOOOOSH! TING!
The mass teleportation magic was "instantly." canceled by Huo Yuhao's Concept of Nullification. The magic system in this world is unbearably poor and has thrown fundamental basics out of the window.
Magic is magical.
No one could deny that.
However, even magic needed a rule.
Huo Yuhao comprehended magic in his make-up mystic codes and script, allowing him to manifest or conceptualize his imagination into the real world with the basic premise of "Equal Exchange or Nothing at all.".
"Equal Exchange." means the change of demonic energy into magic equally through the "Magic Circle.", powering them while maintaining the universe around it. Or else his magic will destroy space and time, even rewriting existing event into nothingness. Once he breaks his taboo, nothing can stop him besides Godkings.
Imagination is a wild thing. Huo Yuhao could have imagined "Coulomb Force." at its peak, and this world is fucked up. Some monsters might survive, but the rest would get erased.
As for "Nothing at all.", Huo Yuhao basically possessed the absolute authority of his magic. He could cancel his magic at will, turning them into nothing.
It erased any possibility of anyone interfering with his magic or causing an error.
Then a question like this comes, "Doesn't that mean Huo Yuhao nerfed himself?"
No.
Huo Yuhao's magic is not a simple manifestation of his imagination.
If someone said, "magic meant to achieve a higher realm and unrevealed universal mystery."
"Magic is an unknown force."
"Magic is only good for killing."
"Magic is strong because it was a mystery."
Then Huo Yuhao will answer like this, "My magic is a code. I could write billions of codes to destroy this very world into pieces, but does that mean magic is strong? No, magic is strong because I make it so."
"It's a manifestation of my power."
"Nothing magical about it."
And right now, everyone will witness its true power.
BOOOOOOOM!!
The teleportation magic erupted and left the Heroes Faction speechless.
"W-What?!" Georg, the magician of the group, detected a demonic power overpowering everything in the area. It negated any magic to be activated.
Anti Magic is a thing, but this is something else.
Cao Cao used the Magic Crystal imbued by the last descendant of Solomon before she died. It's an absolute space-warping item that could transport the wielder anywhere(in this world only) without cost.
It's so strong that even gods couldn't prevent it.
And someone fucking canceled it.
"Fog of Extinction!" Goerg activated his Sacred Gear, securing a distance between them and Huo Yuhao.
Jeanne gritted her teeth in disbelief at this situation and activated her Sacred Gear: Balance Breaker, creating a metallic holy dragon out of swords.
"We must get away from this place, NOW!" She shouted while staring at Huo Yuhao. This sense of fear overwhelmed Jeanne's rational thinking.
"ANNIHILATION MAKER: ANTI DEVIL-DRAGON MONSTER SWARMS!"
Leonardo activated Sacred Gear as well and summoned rows upon rows of monsters. Their appearance was similar to that of giant werewolves with thick armor-like scales and red eyes.
Not only were these monsters "especially." created to counter Huo Yuhao's Draconic and Devil traits, but they also negated all magic types.
Now we are talking about who is more overpowered.
"Oh, we are using numbers now?" Huo Yuhao chuckled while swinging his halberd casually. "Then... Let's see if your army can handle mine."
"Arise."
RROOOOOOOOOOARR!!
BOOOOOOOOM!!
The shadows lurked in the Nijo Castle, awakened and answered their master's call, crawling from the depth of darkness. Several gigantic creatures with entire bodies of solidified shadow stepped up, towering over the castle.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao has ordered Grayfia and other ladies to create a force field around the Nijo Castle, separating this space from the real world. Or else the quest he had taken from Yae would fail immediately.
"My liege..." The four elite shadows, whose strengths rivaled 2nd Class Gods at their peaks, appeared before Huo Yuhao. They kneeled hurriedly to show respect toward him.
"What's your order?"
"Kill every werewolf-like creature in your sights, trample them down without any chance to fight back." Huo Yuhao ordered casually. "Show them the power of the Shadow Army, who won the Millenium Crusade..."
"Your wish is our command, my liege~!!" The shadow army moved, surrounding the Heroes' Faction with their weapons.
Even Cao Cao couldn't help but rethink his life choices now.
Soon the Nijo Castle turned into a loud battlefield.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Huo Yuhao's Shadow Army and Leonardo's Annihilation Maker: Monsters clashed with utmost intensity, which pales in comparison to fighting in the Monster Dimension for three years straight.
It's more like a light warmup for the shadow army.
"Cao Cao!" Goerg is called the leader of the Heroes' Faction.
"We need your Truth Idea!"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and mumbled, "I know."
"O Spear. The true Holy Spear which pierces through God." He was about to chant the True Longinus's most prominent attack, invoking the Dying Will of the Biblical God. However, only stupid people would let it through twice.
"Too naive, Kid!" Huo Yuhao suddenly flashed to Cao Cao's side, attacking the young man's guts with a swift kick.
BAM!
Cao Cao was launched like a ragdoll to the castle wall and experienced his entire body shaking in pain. Every cell in his body seemed to scream, wanting to explode. And it was just from one kick.
He coughed blood and said, "Balance Breaker: Polar Night Longinus Chakravartin."
Huo Yuhao appeared again before him, lunging the terrifying halberd at Cao Cao's face.
"Parinayakaratana!" Cao Cao screamed with hatred and swung the True Longinus with all his might.
CLANK!
"Oh?" Huo Yuhao felt the Darkest Star's Halberd: Dosa lost its force. It's literally stagnating in the air.
Cao Cao's ability nullified any weapon-related attacks.
"Polar Mirror: Reflection!" Cao Cao drove his spear and struck Huo Yuhao's chest.
Huo Yuhao grinned and slapped the True Longinus away with his palm, twisting his other arm like a whip. "Flowing Waves: Tidal Break."
BAM!
Redirecting the force of True Longinus, which originated from himself, Huo Yuhao destroyed 1/3 of Nijo Castle in the process. He breaks the shock and kicks Cao Cao's solar plexus again.
Cao Cao is strong.
However, he's a glass cannon compared to the Nether God.
"ARGHHH!"
Cao Cao smashed onto the gravel and caused a deep dent in the ground, shaking everything around it. He groaned and used a potion to heal his injury with difficulty.
Huo Yuhao stood calmly, looking down at Cao Cao with a disappointed expression. "Come on, Hero. Is this your limit?" He commented jokingly.
"After all, being chosen by True Longinus granted you a right to be a slaughterer, no? As a descendant of a hero, you must destroy beings like Devil, Fallen Angels, and Dragon, which you believe are threats to human beings."
"I know many people like you... You branded an entire race based on your justice, not knowing innocent always live in the bad."
Cao Cao's face blackened as he mockingly responded, "What do you know about me?!"
"You're just an outsider from another world."
"You're here to conquer it. A DEMON LORD THAT I SHALL SLAY!"
"Yeah, whatever. I don't care about your backstory. You attacked my people first, and I'll take everything from you." Huo Yuhao's blue eyes shone indifferently.
Cao Cao sent several orbs at Huo Yuhao and attacked him with extreme viscosity. He launched a barrage of spear strikes, leaving no holes behind for him to dodge.
'Crude.' Huo Yuhao commented while waving his halberd too.
CLANK!
BOOM!!
CLANK!
BOOM!!
Each clash and swing caused extreme shockwaves, ripping Nijo Castle apart rapidly.
Huo Yuhao could feel Cao Cao's desperation in his spear, shaking his head because the True Longinus would never reach its full potential in this guy's hand.
What a shame.
'I expected more, but everything ends here.' Huo Yuhao could feel his Shadow Army defeating Cao Cao's companions, leaving only this desperate young man alone.
"ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!"
"O Spear. The true Holy Spear which pierces through God."
"Suck the ambition of the King of Domination sleeping within me and pierce through the gap of blessing and destruction."
"You. Announce the will, and turn into a glow."
"TRUTH IDEA!"
"Aren't you tired of relying upon someone's will to attack me, Cao Cao? Oh well, I'll let you see something interesting before your death." Huo Yuhao didn't move from his position and let the Truth Idea hit him.
"DIE!!" Cao Cao roared at the top of his lungs.
SWOOSH! BAM!
FWIP!
The True Longinus struck Huo Yuhao's chest, but nothing happened to him. The Truth Idea couldn't land any damage on Huo Yuhao.
"H-HUH?!"
"What a fool..." Huo Yuhao chuckled in amusement.
"Do you think A Dying Will of the Biblical God will hurt its inheritor?"
"You might be able to injure other Gods, but not me."
"The base of True Longinus's Truth Idea is empowerment from Biblical God's dying will, so attacking me who will reclaim the throne of heaven is a futile attempt. It's like pouring a cup of water into the sea."
"Y-You..."
Cao Cao puked a gallon of blood due to the anger and despair Huo Yuhao caused. If a gaze could kill someone, he could have killed this blue-haired monster a million times.
Huo Yuhao grabbed True Longinus from Cao Cao's hand and pierced the spear into his tattered gakuran uniform, creating a massive hole in his chest.

[You have successfully plundered the True Longinus: Holy Spear of the Setting Sun]
[You have erased Cao Cao using the Concept of Nullification and Destruction]
"My liege, we have captured five people." Khiron dragged Cao Cao's underlings, making them kneel before him.
"Y-You killed Cao Cao!" Heracles shouted at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao yawned and replied, "Yeah, so?"
"Does it matter?"
"I thought killing was normal to you guys."
"Well, I don't care."
Huo Yuhao waved his hand and used the same procedure to wipe these people from existence.

[Ding! Failed]
[The Primordial Rune's connection between Jeanne and Qianye Ying'er is detected]
[Erasing her existence will cause substantial damage to Qianye Ying'er]
Huo Yuhao blinked his eyes in surprise and said, "Ah... I see."
"You're the spy in the Heroes Faction, right?"
Jeanne trembled and replied, "Yes, Master."
"It was issued by the Holy Sister Qianye Ying'er to spy on the Heroes Faction's activity. I couldn't report anything to her because Cao Cao and others would be suspicious of me."
Pa!
Pa!
A series of claps suddenly echoed in the Nijo Castle.
Huo Yuhao turned around and saw a man with a buzz-cut hairstyle, greenish-brown hair, and lavender eyes. He wore circular sunglasses, an aloha shirt, and a jewel around his neck.
"You killed them, huh? Pretty merciless as I expected." The man opened his mouth, speaking casually toward Huo Yuhao. "Erasing the evil part of mankind is not a bad move."
"Indra, King of the Gods and Lord of Heaven, also the God of War, Storm, and Rainfall." Huo Yuhao commented calmly.
"Fancy titles you have there."
"I'd like to say the same for you." Indra laughed amusingly.
They stared at each other silently, gauging their strength.
'Strong.' They thought at the same time.
While Indra felt Huo Yuhao's energy seemed limitless and filled with a divine-like aura, Huo Yuhao considered Indra as "the most powerful 1st Class God." he had ever met.
Indra is strong, but Huo Yuhao didn't see how this guy could win against him. It's not arrogance, but the confidence he polished after training with Scathacth for years and defeating the Nether God.
Still, they knew this place wasn't suitable for a long fight.
As much as Indra wants to fight Huo Yuhao, the situation isn't perfect.
"One attack." Huo Yuhao proposed suddenly, which caused Indra to grin at him.
"Sure, one attack it is." Indra's body released extreme electricity.
SWOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!
They rushed at each other simultaneously, causing the storm to brew in the sky.
Indra kicked the ground and launched a punch filled with a divine aura. It was a destructive attack that warped the space around them, breaking the space fabric easily.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao lunged with rotating energy waves on his right leg, sending a normal-looking high kick toward Indra. His attack appeared normal besides the waves, but Indra could perceive immense destructive intent behind it.
He bent his body down a little and raised his left arm, kicking the air.
There is no waste movement.
No waste of energy.
Everything seemed to flow into the tip of Huo Yuhao's leg.
"Heavenly Lightning Fist!" Indra shouted his attacking move.
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and whispered, "White Room Martial Arts: Recoilless Kick."
BANG!
Like two opposite forces, Huo Yuhao and Indra caused a moment of silence in the area. A bright light erupted a second later and wiped Nijo Castle from existence.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Lightning danced in the storm, striking the land continuously.
Yet, something seemed to part the heaven apart and let through the moonlight.
Cough!
Indra staggered on the half-destroyed floor and looked down at a deep groove of a bloody wound on his chest with a surprised expression. He then laughed wildly and said, "Hahaha... Recoilless Kick? A kick that split the heaven apart. What interesting technique you have there."
"This is your win, Blue-Eyed Dragon God."
"Let's meet again later." Indra slowly vanished into a mass of electricity.
"..." Huo Yuhao.
This guy came and left without an invitation.
Huo Yuhao looked down at his right leg and felt a throbbing sensation there. It's not bad, just a little sprained after receiving Indra's punch.
[Ding! You have finished a quest]
[Rewarding 1x Black Gold Upgrading Ticket and Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art]
"Well, this is going to be more interesting than I expected." Huo Yuhao smiled a little.
