Chapter 1051: Chapter 804: Confrontation
Following Long Yi from a distance, Solis reached the depths of this structure and saw Long Yi standing there, looking down at a huge flat stone, his expression rich with emotion.
Was this the knowledge that Long Yi had just uncovered and intended to examine in secret? Could it be some exceptionally remarkable knowledge?
Solis didn’t understand, but he wasn’t there to share knowledge with Long Yi. His sole purpose for coming was to kill Long Yi!
For this, he had already made all the necessary preparations.
His private space opened, and a group of tiny Crazy Demons, no bigger than a palm, crawled out from it and spread silently around Long Yi. Meanwhile, Long Yi continued to be engrossed in the tablet, showing no sign of noticing.
Yes, continue to immerse yourself in it, and then, die in such quiet, he thought.
Hum!
All the little Crazy Demons emitted a strange Resonance, and with a tremor of Magic, Long Yi suddenly realized that the space around him was completely sealed!
"Space Fragmentation!"
Without hesitation, Solis cast the Space Fragmentation spell, and Long Yi, stunned in place, found his body neatly sliced into sections!
But Solis wasn’t reassured yet; those little Crazy Demons fired dense Light Cannon beams, thoroughly igniting Long Yi’s fragmented body and eventually burning it to ash!
"Is that all there is to it?" Solis said mockingly as he looked at the ashes scattered on the ground.
"Theoretically speaking, if you had indeed succeeded, it would have looked something like this," Long Yi’s voice suddenly rang out. Solis fixed his gaze, only to find no trace of Long Yi’s body on the ground! He hadn’t released any Crazy Demons at all! He’d just been standing there, smirking.
"Your mental defenses are weaker than I thought; have you been too absorbed in dealing with that guy in your head?"
Little Zi emerged with a giggle from the side.
"Little Zi! No, that’s not right! You clearly didn’t board the ship!" Solis protested, believing Little Zi to be a mere illusion cast by Long Yi.
"Silly, I’m a Female Demon; I don’t need to breathe and I’m not afraid of hot or cold. I just had to hide on the outside of the little ship, there’s no need for me to board it," Little Zi said, wagging her finger.
"I thought you would be more cautious and not so easily duped. I didn’t expect that after seeing only me, you would actually come rushing to your death. I was considering what opportunity to take, but since you’re so eager, I don’t mind dealing with you here in this solemn and serious place. You don’t need to worry about what happens after you die; I imagine Master Elma will be very pleased to take care of everything for you."
Suddenly realizing the truth, Solis understood it was a trap designed specifically for him! The powerful Long Yi, coupled with the mentally strong Female Demon Little Zi—everything had been prepared just for him!
"Parasite, this time, we must work together," Solis said with a cold smile, but inwardly he was speaking to the God Chasers.
"I will handle Little Zi’s mental attacks; you take Long Yi," the God Chasers replied.
At that moment, one of Solis’s eyes turned blood red, and a powerful surge of mental energy enveloped his body.
"Let’s see who will die here today!"
Long Yi watched Solis with a laugh and said to Little Zi, "I’ve seen all kinds of collaborations, but I’ve never seen parasites and their hosts work together. This is probably the most hilarious joke in the entire multiverse."
Little Zi shook her little head and pointed at Solis’s red eye: "Looks like someone who’s severely sleep-deprived, probably because we’ve been keeping you up at night, huh?"
Despite being mocked in turns by Long Yi and Little Zi, Solis, at that moment, didn’t rage but forced himself to stay calm. He had once delved deeply into understanding Long Yi. Most people only knew about his martial prowess, but never considered matters beyond physical strength.
Long Yi was intelligent and had always managed to turn disadvantages to advantages through various means when facing them. So to think Long Yi was just a dumb brute with only martial prowess would be a big mistake. His intelligence was not only in his fighting skills but also in his use of language.
Using mockery to make opponents lose their composure or cloud their judgment was probably the simplest tactic in combat, yet not everyone could use it to perfection. From all of Long Yi’s past battles, whether it was his tongue or his fists, he was a person with almost no noticeable flaws.
Therefore, Solis and the God Chasers both had to force themselves to stay calm. It was difficult enough to deal with Long Yi, let alone with the Female Demon Little Zi by his side.
"Aren’t you planning to attack? After all, you’ve been secretly tracking me here and it’s definitely not to have a chat with me," Long Yi spoke again, but this time Solis remained silent.
"Getting cold feet? Don’t chicken out! Let’s have a talk. What have you been up to in the demon realm to make the mighty Empress herself come looking for you? I heard you are God Chasers, followers of a god? Can you tell me how you follow a god? Do you know where your god is?"
Long Yi spoke incessantly with an undisturbed calm, while Solis became increasingly tense. He had no idea what Long Yi was planning to do; however, it was clear that since Long Yi mentioned the Empress of the demon realm, didn’t that mean Long Yi was acquainted with those two terrifying Female Demons?
God Chasers were somewhat intimidated, Solis even more so. Solis had heard of what the demon realm’s Yavenny and Yamir had done. Considering the demon realm was a higher Plane, far more powerful than this Lower Plane by who knows how many times, and Long Yi was actually connected to the demon realm?
"So you really aren’t planning to strike first? Then I won’t be polite anymore," said Long Yi as he pounced forward. The Cosmic Stone Greatsword burst forth with a Destruction Ripple and an arc of light, illuminating the surrounding space.
"I was just waiting for you to make a move!" Solis had already been brewing a powerful Magic spell. The reason he had been delaying was partly out of fear of Long Yi, and partly because he was concocting this spell.
Now that Long Yi couldn’t help but rush forward, his spell was also completed at the same time.
"This is your own death wish!" Having endured Long Yi’s mockery and calm taunting for half a day, Solis couldn’t hold back any longer. He roared out loud as Mana converged in front of him forming a huge barrier that glowed with the reflection of a mirror. The Destruction Ripple slashed by Long Yi hit the mirror and was instantly redirected back towards Long Yi!
"Huh?"
Long Yi was quite surprised. Could this spell even reflect a Destruction Ripple that was a mix of Mana and Fighting Aura?
"Hahaha, with my Full Reflection Barrier here, don’t even dream of touching a hair on me!" Solis laughed loudly.
Long Yi almost simultaneously launched an identical Destruction Ripple, and both ripples collided and vanished without a trace.
"Really? Let’s test how far you can go!"
Seeing that Solis was determined to hold out until the end, the Cosmic Stone Greatsword in Long Yi’s hand transformed into a Cosmic Stone staff, and a Mana storm surged behind him.
"Spell Pour!"
This was a spell he had just learned, and now Long Yi directly used it on Solis!
Spells rained down like a torrential downpour, bombarding Solis without any gaps. Solis looked grave as all his Mana gathered on the Full Reflection Barrier. The spells that hit the barrier were reflected back immediately, then met the incoming spells from the front. Explosions occurred continuously in front of the Full Reflection Barrier, and the resulting shockwaves continuously pushed Solis backward.
Little Zi, unnoticed, had already circled to the rear of Solis and at the right moment, launched a Mental Impact. But at the same time, a burst of mental force erupted from Solis, colliding with the Mental Impact from Little Zi.
"I’ve been waiting right here for you! Little Female Demon!"
The voice of a God Chaser rang out.
"For a parasite, you are exceedingly loyal to your host. I thought for sure you would try to control your host during this time."
Little Zi spoke mockingly.
"Don’t worry, once we join forces to kill the two of you, this body will definitely be mine again, but sadly, you little Female Demon won’t be around to see!"
The God Chaser kept releasing Mental Impacts with tremendous destructive power, which for most life forms could induce severe mental reactions such as sluggish response, inability to concentrate, or even mental breakdown. But for a Female Demon, these impacts were even more deadly. Female Demons were pure mental forces combined with energy. Being adept at such magic also meant having less resistance to it. If not dealt with carefully and cautiously, one could easily suffer immense damage.
In theory, that is.
But that was just in theory. Little Zi was undoubtedly a Female Demon, but she was no longer the Female Demon of the past. Her continuous evolution not only greatly enhanced her strength but also marked a significant change from her past self. And this change was now reflected in her body.
The Cosmic Stone brought about more than just a change in appearance; it changed her very essence. Little Zi could be referred to as a Female Demon, but at the same time, she was no longer one. The Cosmic Stone, a divine artifact used by the Giants to create Planes, contained all the materials in the universe, naturally including those comprising the body. Once the Cosmic Stone became part of Little Zi’s body, she had indeed become a new life form, one that was neither Human nor Female Demon, but an entirely new, undefined form of life. This new life form combined the strengths of both Humans and Female Demons while discarding their weaknesses. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it perfect.
And this perfect life form had no reason to fear mere Mental Impacts.
Mental control was what God Chasers excelled at, and it happened to be Little Zi’s forte as well. Facing the Mental Impacts of the God Chaser, Little Zi didn’t even consider a second option, and directly launched an even more fatal Mental Impact. The mere Mental Impacts collided silently in space, yet caused the Mana elements surrounding space to surge, emitting a brilliant glow. (To be continued.
