Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 348 - White Destructive Ray
Wu Chen felt that he had become the Bone King.

All of the previous events were a battle against the invincible Mr. Air.

He had originally thought he would encounter an otherworldly projection in the palace, stumble upon strange artifacts, and be attacked by demons. He even had a rough plan in advance to deal with the worst-case scenario: that both the real Jiel and the projected Jiel would appear together and wait in vain in the palace.

But neither.

Nothing at all.

Lia was just an ordinary princess. She was not possessed by the Demon King, nor did she wield the Demon Sword Chaos. She did not possess any extraordinary treasures, and even the Lysas Thunder Dragon, which would become her pet and bodyguard in the future, was not by her side.

She was just an ordinary person with only a tiny amount of energy in her body.

While Maris Amaryllis, who was guarding her side, possessed over fifty life levels, she was still only within the realm of Wu Chen's understanding, control, and even domination.

They stood and sat there, completely oblivious.

Maris might have vaguely sensed something, but Leah was completely oblivious to and unable to comprehend the power Wu Chen possessed—she remained the same spoiled and domineering princess from the very beginning of the story. Even when Wu Chen suddenly appeared in her palace, she merely spoke to him arrogantly.

"Oh dear? There's an outsider here? To barge into a young lady's room without announcing yourself is hardly gentlemanly behavior." The blue-haired princess slightly raised her chin, the hairpin behind her swaying like a spider with outstretched claws. However, to Wu Chen, she wasn't even a mere insect; this accusatory posture only enhanced her charm.

Wu Chen did not answer.

"Not going to talk? Hmm, let me guess, you captured Kanami? That kid may be useless, but her ninja skills are still commendable. To capture her so easily and extract information about this place from her, you seem to be quite capable. How about working for me? Money, official position, women, all are available. Kanami can also be given to you to use as you please... Hmm, she should still be alive."

Wu Chen did not answer.

"You're not speaking, are you frightened? Strange, you clearly know this is my palace, yet you panicked after barging in. Is it because Maris is too strong, and you can't handle her? Oh dear, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, my Maris has always been the strongest. Hmm... I'm a little angry, you know. If you reveal your true form now and kneel down to beg for my forgiveness, the preferential treatment I mentioned before will still count."

Wu Chen did not answer.

Wu Chen was simply thinking.

—Those who oppose Ainz Ooal Gown will eventually become Ainz Ooal Gown themselves. Is this the contagious nature of the power of caution? Ah… could my premonition be entirely wrong? This world isn't actually that difficult. To me, it's just like a slight relaxation after playing a very difficult game?
But how can battles in the world of ice and fire be considered 'high difficulty'?
Distant memories flooded back; the only truly difficult part of the previous world was the battle against Hera. If we consider that one slash as the defining characteristic of that world, then the previous world certainly deserved to be considered high-difficulty. But that doesn't mean that a high-difficulty experience is always followed by a relaxing break!
This isn't the Main God Space, so where does the difficulty in resource allocation come from? I transmigrated to this world where the Creator God interferes with the present world; wasn't the main plot from the very beginning about defeating that void whale?!

Is that really not true?!

Her mind was in chaos, her thoughts clashing back and forth. This complex battle of ideas naturally manifested as silence. And it was precisely because of this that the arrogant princess on the throne finally realized she had become an ignored target.

It wasn't fear, nor apprehension; it was simply a lack of awareness that they were speaking. For any self-proclaimed noble person in power, such treatment would instantly enrage them, even break their defenses.

“I’m angry.” Leah clenched her fist and immediately gave the order. “Maris, take him down.”

The Shadow Chancellor, who stood beside the throne, then raised his spear, which was enveloped in holy light.

"Yes, Your Highness. It will be ready soon."

Her gaze locked onto Wu Chen's body.

"Please do not resist in vain." An invisible wave of energy erupted from beneath the green-haired girl's feet. A spear wreathed in light then thrust forward, seemingly effortless, but in reality, it had already unleashed ninety percent of the Shadow Chancellor's power!

There should have been an explosion. At the very least, there should have been a collision.

However, the spear thrust that gathered ninety percent of Maris's power only stopped silently in the air an inch in front of Wu Chen!

Telekinesis.

The magic in this world also possesses techniques similar to the Mage's Hand.

Wu Chen simply used his strength to easily withstand the powerful shot!
His thoughtful gaze finally focused, then lifted slightly.

He met Mary's horrified and worried gaze.

"Your Highness, run!" she shouted instinctively, unaware that her voice could no longer carry beyond the palace. Lydia, whom she was protecting behind her, reacted, and the spear in her hand unleashed an even more intense, destructive light.

"Divine Disintegration Wave!"

Holy magic.

Among Maris Amaryllis's passive traits, there is a potential for Divine Magic Lv2, which has been fully developed.

It was with this attack that she revealed a combat strength somewhat comparable to that of the young British projection.

Then the light bursts forth.

Within that burst of light, all matter was directly disintegrated at the molecular level. This power was enough to shatter Wu Chen's telekinetic shield and inflict damage on his physical body. And this power was enough for Wu Chen to raise his longsword to block it.

'Om—'

The sword melted in the radiance.

Marise, giving it her all, had a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

“Well done.” Wu Chen replied. He had originally wanted to take out the Dark Night Greatsword, but the inspiration that appeared in his mind along with the Holy Decomposition Wave gave him a different idea.

The application of light is constructed in his eyes.

The next moment, an equally intense pure white light appeared in Wu Chen's palm. This light had a definite name in this world, and it was known to Maris the instant it was released.

"This is... a white destructive ray!?"

The white destructive ray is almost the highest-level offensive magic. Only magic users at least at level 2 can possibly master it. And it has the power to annihilate an army in an instant.

It has been released.

Fear flashed in Maris's eyes. She immediately abandoned maintaining the Holy Disintegration Wave and lunged at Leah, who was trying to escape into the secret passage. The healing magic activated at full power, and she used her body to shield Leah as much as possible.

The light engulfed her and her.
