Chapter 2714: Chapter 1836: The First One
A sealed, potentially awakening fragment of a Star God.
All of this was perfectly natural, following a logical course.
So where was the problem?
Mary hadn’t discovered the problem until Nemume Zuoniao held her back and then told her, Duanmu Huai didn’t like being interrupted when fighting.
Then Mary suddenly realized the issue.
This made no sense.
Think carefully, if this were a trap aimed at Duanmu Huai, then as a follower, she didn’t have the ability to stop such a trap from triggering. After all, she was just a "Queen," and no matter how much she increased her strength, Mary couldn’t reach Duanmu Huai’s level.
So why was she so confident that she could stop this trap?
This was the creation of the Star Gods; Mary didn’t understand it at all. Perhaps the only one in the Tribunal who understood the Star Gods was Duanmu Huai. But he seemed to be busy boxing with Brutal Wrath on the ruins of the Hive City right now. Clearly, even if Mary asked him, Duanmu Huai wouldn’t have time to respond.
With Mary’s character, she shouldn’t be so anxious, especially considering there’s no trap here, apart from a group of guard Demons.
But at that time, Mary was indeed anxious, as if if she were one second late, the trap would trigger, and Duanmu Huai would perish without a trace.
But the fact was they had been here for ten minutes already, and that stone coffin remained intact.
Given this... why should she tamper with it?
Mary thought for a moment and then made a decision.
"Let’s just watch for now."
Nemume Zuoniao’s reaction was more obvious; she yawned directly, then lay down on the floor nearby, and closed her eyes to sleep.
It was as if the earth-shaking roar above had no effect on her.
Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai and Brutal Wrath’s battle continued.
However, at this point, they had abandoned their previous use of weapons to express themselves and had adopted a simpler, clearer combat style.
Fist to flesh!
"BANG!!"
Duanmu Huai’s fist slammed into Brutal Wrath’s chest, while the latter punched Duanmu Huai in the face. Both blows simultaneously erupted with intense impact, further collapsing the already crumbling Hive City. But neither of them cared about these small matters now. They were completely engrossed, unable to extricate themselves.
Duanmu Huai hadn’t fought such an exhilarating battle in a long time, where he didn’t need to consider anything else, just to fight, to endure hits, without calculation, without strategy, without plans, without schemes, nothing. Everyone just had to clench their fists, mindlessly swing towards the opponent, and then—see who could last until the end!
"BAM!"
Brutal Wrath’s fist smashed into Duanmu Huai’s face, the ensuing impact seemingly crushing his skin and grinding his bones, and that intense pain spread throughout Duanmu Huai’s body along his nerves. But this instead provoked Duanmu Huai’s most primal fury, he clenched his teeth tightly, while swinging a punch, hitting Brutal Wrath’s nose. The latter’s head tilted backward, and then suddenly slammed forward, crashing into Duanmu Huai’s fist, accompanied by an intense impact, Duanmu Huai’s fist instantly exploded, the muscles in his entire arm twisted and jetted out from beneath his tightly tensioned, torn skin as if squeezed by a large truck.
This involuntarily made Duanmu Huai’s arm droop, the flames of anger scorching his soul, while simultaneously Brutal Wrath also roared and reached out both hands again trying to grab Duanmu Huai’s head———Duanmu Huai of course knew what he intended, after all, this move was one he was thoroughly familiar with.
So he opened his mouth and bit down hard on Brutal Wrath’s swinging fist, then fiercely chomped as if biting into an apple!
"Crunch!"
The fist caught in Duanmu Huai’s mouth was entirely crushed, and Duanmu Huai let out a beast-like low growl from his throat, biting down on Brutal Wrath’s hand and forcefully pulling back!
With Duanmu Huai’s pull, the unbalanced Brutal Wrath leaned forward, and in front of him was Duanmu Huai’s head that once again charged forward!
"BAM!!"
Duanmu Huai’s head slammed into Brutal Wrath’s chin, causing the latter’s head to tilt skyward. Then both sides stepped back, panting heavily and glaring viciously at each other.
"It seems we’re almost done."
Duanmu Huai’s arm swelled again, and then returned to its original form. On the other side, Brutal Wrath’s crushed fist also recovered, though they still stared at each other intensely, their fatigue was unavoidable. After all, they had fought to the point where they had nearly exhausted all the Divine Power they had accumulated since arriving in this world.
Normally, according to reason, with Brutal Wrath’s strength, it could continuously absorb wrath and combat power from its fight with Duanmu Huai. However, as the God of Destruction, Duanmu Huai was fundamentally in the same camp as it, both parties were unable to draw power from each other’s actions and behaviors, which led to their increasing consumption the longer they fought.
A battle with no replenishment and only consumption is not advisable.
"So next, I guess it’s the final strike?"
Duanmu Huai clenched his fist and stared at Brutal Wrath, and the latter silently nodded.
"Then...... Let’s go!!"
Duanmu Huai roared, clenched his fist, and charged towards Brutal Wrath again!
Yet at this moment, Brutal Wrath for the first time chose to dodge, suddenly shifting to the side, then drew a dagger from his waist, stabbing straight towards Duanmu Huai’s heart!
Many people overlooked that although Brutal Wrath was perpetually angry, even dubbed the Milky Way’s strongest hothead, it wasn’t a foolhardy fighter. For Brutal Wrath, employing various tactics in battle to achieve victory (as long as it wasn’t Magic) was perfectly acceptable!
Brutal Wrath’s counterattack was spot on, its dagger thrust directly at Duanmu Huai’s chest, and at this moment Duanmu Huai was off balance due to his missed punch, hastily he could only use his other hand to block Brutal Wrath’s Sharp Blade.
But at this juncture, Duanmu Huai’s face did not show surprise or anger, only a sly smile.
As Brutal Wrath’s Sharp Blade was about to pierce Duanmu Huai’s chest, Duanmu Huai’s left hand suddenly twisted and deformed, transforming into several giant tentacles that stretched forward, wrapping tightly around Brutal Wrath’s body! Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai’s missed punch opened into a claw, grabbing Brutal Wrath’s head!
"I’m not a fool either."
Staring at the Evil God before him, Duanmu Huai sneered coldly. Brutal Wrath used little tricks, but he, the God of Destruction, was no idiot!
Then his right hand exerted force, and five fingers suddenly plunged into Brutal Wrath’s head, then Duanmu Huai tightened his right hand, forcefully pulling it upward!
"———————!!"
Accompanied by an enormous screech, an incomparable red beam mixed with mist like blood spurted out from Brutal Wrath’s neck, dyeing the entire sky scarlet. It penetrated through the atmosphere, extending straight into the depths of the Milky Way. The billions of years of death, discontent, and wrath of all beings in the Milky Way returned to the Subspace, losing their original stable form, turning back into a heap of decaying, fiercely burning Subspace garbage as if a Star God had lost its living metal vessel.
Duanmu Huai stood there, feeling the surging power erupt and then vanish.
He then took a breath, revealing a fierce smile.
"Huff... The first one."
