Chapter 217 Battle of the Sinking Island
Luo Cheng adjusted the process of copying the "Eye of Heavenly Awakening" from Yue Jialuo Yeming to quickly obtain relevant information.

He had previously mastered abilities such as "accelerated thinking" and "parallel calculation," his consciousness could be split, and his own brain possessed superhuman thinking and analytical abilities.

"Unfortunately, most of the 'True Myriad Manifestations Reflecting the Heavenly Mirror Power' was taken away, and the remaining supernatural power could not be fully constructed. The deteriorated power caused the other me to plummet to the bottom in terms of both total spiritual power and other aspects."

—The power of mirroring, also known as the special ability called "True Myriad Manifestations Reflecting the Heavenly Mirror Power," is, according to Luo Cheng's own speculation, a power that he was given as a transmigrator or player.

"In the game, after players have played through multiple times, they will gain a cheat that allows the protagonist, Yoru, to freely cultivate various skills... In the world of 'Oborozuki no Akechi,' this is a power that defies common sense."

The "player" who transmigrated to this world, namely Luo Cheng, came to a conclusion: this was not the protagonist Ye Ming's power, but a kind of power that only "players" possessed, or perhaps it was a game design that turned it into a kind of ability for transmigrated players.

Legend has it that the ancestor of the Ziyue clan was born with the power of the "Myriad Manifestations Reflecting the Radiance of Heaven". Luo Cheng knew that this power should be somewhat different from his own true power of the Myriad Manifestations Reflecting the Radiance of Heaven.

"The power of the progenitor should be weaker than mine, who has mastered the power of the 'True Myriad Manifestations Reflecting Heavenly Mirror.' However, based on my deduction, it is very likely that the progenitor of the Ziyue clan, like me, was also a transmigrated player. It is also possible that players who transmigrated to this world in this way have appeared many times in the history of this world..."

Whether it's true or not is impossible to know, after all, the history and timeline of this world are very chaotic.

Los Angeles is simultaneously engaging in multiple parallel reflections while lamenting the current situation.

"It seems that no matter which path we take, things will turn out badly."

He quickly bid farewell to the reluctant Xiaoqi, then gripped his treasured sword, Mizutsu, once more and returned to the battlefield.

Luo Cheng spoke immediately, using his telepathic ability to speak slowly into the void: "Mephisto, stop hiding. You don't actually think... that guy can't find you, do you?"

After he finished speaking, a humanoid shadow, resembling a black mist, suddenly appeared in the space behind him.

"Hey~ what does this have to do with me?"

The monster revealed its true form once more; the clone of the great demon Mephisto was not killed on the spot.

After being severely damaged, it immediately hid and lurked in the shadows to spy.

However, the monster realized that its hiding was pointless; both Los Angeles and the other man clearly knew it was in hiding.

I don't have much ill intentions towards you.

Luo Cheng said slyly, "That last strike could have knocked you down, but it didn't actually cut you; it only severed your connection to that decaying body..."

"You can consider this as me having no ill intentions?"

Mephistopheles found it somewhat amusing that the other party spoke so casually. Suddenly, it realized something and asked in a low voice, "So that's how it is. You must have predicted this situation from the beginning, which is why you deliberately made me stay."

"Just as I said."

Luo Cheng added, "I have no ill intentions towards you and do not intend to be your enemy, but the other side has a different view. He does not mind taking this opportunity to eliminate your clone as well."

"Yes."

The mysterious young man, Zi Yue Shi, was squinting as he watched the two of them.

"After all, this clone demon has had some contact with a woman from the Eight Blessings Society over there. To prevent information from being leaked, it's better to remove it as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he slowly removed his black gloves, exuding a powerful aura that seemed capable of freezing the souls of those around him.

The absurd and overwhelming sense of power emanating from the other party sent a chill down the spines of both Los Angeles and Mephisto.

Both the human and the demon could sense that the other possessed a human form, yet the structure of its soul was almost distorted. Its true form was an alternate existence cloaked in human skin, an immense and unfathomable being.

They are truly the worst enemy.

The devil makes his judgment in his heart.

This will undoubtedly be a fierce and brutal battle.

If I encounter this guy, I'm very likely to be defeated in the upcoming battle.

"While you're a monster too, this guy is definitely beyond the norm..."

Even as a clone of Mephisto, this demon couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

"Being called a monster by a demon is a bit annoying even for me... To be honest, I'm still within the human category, but this guy is completely different."

Luo Cheng uttered a bitter voice: "He must have lived through far too long a time, and his soul has slowly deteriorated over that long period of time, becoming something else."

At this point, he reiterated his intention to join forces.

"The chances of a crushing defeat are high if we go it alone, but if we cooperate, we can create other opportunities even if we can't win."

"Hehe, I understand."

Mephisto let out a cold laugh, and at the same time, the humanoid mist rose up, swirling around Luo Cheng's body and transforming into countless black runes that covered his entire body. In an instant, the pitch-black warrior was born.

Los Angeles did something remarkable: he allowed the clone demon "Mephisto" to possess him.

The combined power of the two forces formed a black exoskeleton-like structure that covered his body.

"Is it imitating the Oni-Shinki style and the techniques of Kuramaji Maou-ryu? Hmph, in fact, even if you join forces, the final result will not change."

Zi Yueshi raised one eyebrow.

"Master, should I make a move?"

Red Dragon and Red Beauty asked a question.

There's no need for that.

The young man leaped off the red dragon's tongue, and a golden light emanated from his body. Then, the moment he landed, the golden light covered his body, forming a magnificent suit of armor.

This is armor that resembles a lion, a giant god, and a group of mythical beasts, with flame patterns on it. It's quite exaggerated, but the key point is the material. It's not steel, nor does it look like any other metal.

Donning an outfit that exuded divine armor, the young man at this moment radiated an incredible, majestic aura, like that of a lion king.

Zi Yue also used her own power, using that golden energy to arm her body.

Behind him was a large amber-colored sword with a wavy blade, but he did not use it.

The greatsword was driven directly into the ground, and Zi Yue Shi, whose entire body was covered in golden armor, strode over like an armed golden lion.

"Give up..."

Luo Cheng, clad in armor, also raised his precious sword, the tip pointing at Zi Yue Shi.

"No matter what, we have to give it our all."

A fierce battle erupted in an instant.

……

"Let's go!" Ye Ming led the alchemist Hank to the safe zone.

She cried out, urging everyone to activate the teleportation spell and leave the island.

"Is this... Mr. Hyakusuke?"

Ayaka asked timidly.

"He's alright."

Ye Ming could only gamble everything on another "him".

"He'll come back after we leave... but right now, we have to leave—"

Rumble!
A deep, resounding thud shook the entire underground space.

Everyone stared wide-eyed. The earth seemed to tremble, and an ominous tremor emanated from somewhere within the underground cavern of the "Ghostly Spore Forest."

This was a terrifying surge, like a monstrous wave, and everyone felt a sense of panic akin to a natural disaster.

The next moment, the sound and vibration intensified, as if the underground space was about to collapse under the impact.

"If we don't leave now... we won't make it."

Zhuo'an shook his head.

"I could feel that those two forces were too powerful, and their subsequent impact, collision, and eruption would destroy this underground cavern."

The old man's assessment of the current situation was very accurate.

"Gentlemen, we don't have much time left."

"Hurry up, let's get out of here."

Yoruaki, pulling Ayaka along, rushed towards the teleportation array of the spatial transfer spell. Her heart was breaking.

She realized once again that there was nothing she could do.

'I swore an oath to protect him... What am I doing?'

……

boom!
Somewhere in the center of the island collapsed, creating another huge crater. A massive burst of flames rose up, like an underground volcanic eruption. The intense heat caused the air to expand rapidly, and the crimson pillars, like underground fountains, showered down tens of millions of sparks in the next second.

The pitch-black night crumbled in an instant.

On a remote island deep in the ocean, dazzling light and heat rise into the sky, just like a volcano erupting.

Then, like feathers unfurling, what gradually scattered from the rising pillar of crimson fire were tiny sparks and embers.

With a hiss, scattered sparks fell, igniting nearby trees and completely dispelling the spore mist on the island.

"What's happening here?"

Hiiragi Hiruko, Renjo, and the others who returned to the ship ahead of time were also filled with fear. Fires were everywhere on the island, and the dense trees in the distance had transformed into a scene of fiery hell.

The fleet was already some distance away, which was a good sign that everyone had acted early enough; otherwise, they might have been caught up in it.

Bang!
In the flames of the explosion, the mist that had been spreading from the underground cavern vanished completely. The ground beneath their feet had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

On the mountain on the island, the lush green trees were ablaze, scorching countless leaves and weeds, which floated in the air and turned into moving sparks.

At that very instant, a gigantic, pillar-like, terrifying shape began to snake its way up from the depths of the earth.

The crimson dragon twisted its long body, emerged from the huge hole, and then slowly snaked through the air.

The enormous creature, of astonishing length, drifted leisurely through the air, its powerful demonic energy waves stirring up small storms.

The red dragon circled above the island, its long body floating in the air like a ribbon. Then, it opened its huge mouth and let out a thunderous roar.

A fierce fire containing nuclear fusion energy also spewed from the dragon's mouth, and a pillar of fire with a reddish-orange glow erupted.

However, Lothar, rising from below, avoided the direct rays of the flames and, protected by the armor transformed from Mephisto, soared straight into the sky.

boom!
The powerful breath of nuclear fusion struck the ground, triggering a massive explosion.

Luo Cheng leaped to a high place as if stepping on empty air. With a gentle wave of his right hand, the blade tip struck down, and light burst forth. Along its extended line, an invisible blade seemed to slash down.

The golden armor on the dragon's head also stretched out its hand and released a fierce spell, this time lightning, like a waterfall of intense light, roaring and crashing into the sky.

The slashing light from the blade collided with the raging lightning, creating another deafening explosion that shook the heavens and earth.

Los Angeles plummeted downwards, hurtling down like a raptor, swinging its heavy fist.

The man in the golden armor, as if in response, threw a punch backhand.

boom!
The two fists collided in mid-air, unleashing a violent explosion of light and sound. Instantly, both were blasted away by the force of their opponent's blow.

"Do not understand?"

However, Zi Yue Shi, clad in golden armor, seemed to have the upper hand. No, this man might not have actually used his full strength; he was probably just playing around or warming up.

That's outrageous!

Luo Cheng was flung into the air, trailing a tail like a gust of wind. He finally seized the opportunity and regained his footing in the air.

"When the gap is too large, such persistence is not very meaningful."

Clad in golden lion armor, Zi Yueshi was caught by the outstretched tail of the crimson dragon. He sneered and extended his right hand, radiating a huge wavelength of spiritual energy.

"Die!"

Energy was released from his palm, and a power that transcended magic rose up. It was like a halo of sunlight or a giant shield of discs spinning, with its six corners radiating destructive energy.

boom!
This force rose up, and light and heat dispelled the darkness, transforming into a howling storm.

The three ships were filled with people, all of whom could see this unusual scene: two figures, one a black-clad warrior, and the other a figure shrouded in golden light.

These two distinct figures collided fiercely, and at the very edge of the Black Shark Island sea, a sun wheel, as molten as iron, rose from the horizon.

Confronting it was a jet-black meteorite falling from the moon. The two impacts were like a collision between heaven and earth. In the next instant, the island itself could not withstand such an impact. Due to the enormous destruction, it finally began to shatter from the center and fell into a terrifying collapse.

On that very day, Black Shark Island vanished completely from this sea area.

Several days later, some fragments of the shattered island drifted to the vicinity of the island nation's coastline.
