A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1078 Spiral Upward
Fire on the Right raised his right hand and pointed at Lin Wuming. At the same time, the "Holy Right" behind him launched an attack in accordance with his will.

A rather straightforward attack—a huge and ferocious right hand reached straight for Lin Wuming with enough force to kill its target.

This monstrous hand does appear to be making a "reaching out" motion, but the attack of the "Right of the Holy" is essentially an extension of his will. The action itself is meaningless, and "seeing" the reaching out motion does not mean that you can dodge the attack.

In fact, if someone were to measure it from a third-party perspective, they would find that the attack from the right side of the fire seemed to have no intermediate process; at least when Lin Wuming's "bullet time" was activated, he had already been grabbed by that giant hand.

Fortunately, the enemy's "Holy Right" was not a true spatial attack. Although it skipped the intermediate process, there was still a slight gap before the attack took effect.

By taking advantage of this negligible gap in time and space, Lin Wuming erected a psychic barrier in "bullet time" state.

Then, by layering a psychic barrier, Lin Wuming blocked the attack from the right side of the fire.

Yes, the seemingly fierce attack from the right was not as "deadly" as Lin Wuming had anticipated.

At least for Lin Wuming, who had entered "bullet time" mode, it was no longer "fatal".

But Lin Wuming knew that this was not because the fire on the right was not strong enough, but because of the characteristics of the "Divine Right".

In theory, the "right hand" of the Right Flame possesses infinite power, which is why he dares to say that he can defeat any enemy.

The problem is that the "Divine Right" is the type that becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent, and in a sense, it belongs to the "energy-saving" type—that right hand will only use the power that is "just enough to defeat the opponent".

Even Right Fire himself cannot actively control this; if the enemy is not strong enough, he cannot unleash greater power even if he wants to.

After blocking the "third hand" of fire on the right, Lin Wuming even had the strength to launch a counterattack—using his psychic power to strike the enemy's body.

The Right Flame is incredibly powerful and has never been defeated, but this also means he lacks experience in dealing with attacks. Just like Accelerator in the past, once you can break his signature move, then the most ordinary attacks will be enough to produce a sufficient effect.

To Lin Wuming's disappointment, his counterattack failed to reach the enemy and instead "stagnated" halfway.

Lin Wuming immediately realized that not only had he not escaped the "bullet time" state, but he had even entered a deeper "acceleration" state.

The deadly crisis was not over—as resistance intensified, the enemy's offensive also escalated.

The power of "Divine Right" is steadily increasing, constantly breaking through Lin Wuming's mental barrier and continuously creating a deadly crisis!

This was the first time Lin Wuming had encountered such a situation—an enemy who could continue to escalate the attack while in "bullet time" mode.

Lin Wuming, who was already at his limit, suddenly felt the flow of time slow down further, which is why his psychic attack appeared to be "stuck" halfway through.

This is a sense of disorientation caused by one's thinking speed exceeding the speed at which one's abilities are activated.

No problem. Nen ability is an extension of one's will, so as long as Lin Wuming is willing, he can accelerate the Nen attack again at any time...

The prerequisite is to first resolve the fatal crisis you are facing.

It was as if one could hear the continuous sound effects of the psychic barrier shattering around them, and the "Holy Right," which was already within arm's reach, was still tightening its five fingers, trying to crush them in its palm.

The grotesque giant hand was less than a millimeter away from his skin; yet even with this insignificant distance, Lin Wuming could still intuitively feel the suffocating pressure of the threat pressing down on him.

"The fire on the right really wants to kill me." Lin Wuming understood clearly. There was no other nonsense involved; his attacks were always aimed at killing, and he would not stop until he achieved his goal.

Faced with such a powerful enemy's pure killing move, Lin Wuming's response was also very simple—layering armor, constantly layering armor.

The psychic barrier seemed to generate endlessly; for every layer destroyed by the enemy, two more would be added.

In the "bullet time" state, time is infinitely divisible; the psychic barrier has no thickness, so as long as there is "space", it can be infinitely stacked.

Lin Wuming's defensive methods seem very simple, and are basic skills that all telekinetic users possess; but at this moment, with the blessing of "bullet time," the defensive essence he relies on for survival has actually become a kind of "space-time barrier."

The "Holy Right" could not break through this barrier.

Thus, its characteristic of "becoming stronger when faced with stronger opponents" was triggered again, and the energy contained in its giant right hand rose accordingly, once again increasing to the point that it could "kill the target".

The deadly crisis remains unresolved...

The two major mechanisms, "Bullet Time" and "Divine Right," are caught in an endless spiral of ascent, even exceeding the will of Lin Wuming and Right Flame, climbing up together and accumulating energy.

In the "bullet time" state, Lin Wuming's consciousness accelerated synchronously, so he witnessed the entire crazy process of spiraling upwards.

This state is even more terrifying than when we faced Shirai Kuroko's "spatial teleportation" yesterday!
At least when dealing with the threat posed by "spatial teleportation," Lin Wuming was only pushing himself to his limits; but now, on the other side, there was another being pushed to his limits, Right Flame, whose "Divine Right" was constantly pouring more and more energy into him...

The Right Fire, being "outside," no longer had this special perspective; in his perception, his "divine right" had gone out of control and gone berserk.

At the moment of its attack, this enormous right hand, composed of power, expanded like never before, drawing boundless power from the void and filling the "Divine Right."

No upper limit, no end.

Even the Right Fire himself was taken aback and even feared.

The weapon, which was originally of controllable power, suddenly went out of control and became a "self-destruct bomb" that could kill both sides. This development was far beyond his expectations.

The fire on the right tried to be controlled, but it was too late.

Because there is no time.

In the objective time of the real world, this strike from the Right Fire was no different from the past—"Divine Right" ignored any obstacles and rightfully crossed the limited distance between them, landing on the enemy.

This giant right hand can hit you with a single touch, and once it hits, it takes effect; once it takes effect, you die. It's simple and clear; there's no other possibility.

The fact that Right Fire could realize that something was wrong was already the limit of what he, as the "Right Seat of God," could do.

As for anything else... unfortunately, the Right Flame can only watch from the sidelines.

The attack is complete; some kind of power has erupted.
