Chapter 214 Battle! Hephaestus!

Hephaestus gazed at the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, who had entered the Eternal Sunlight form, and couldn't help but feel a little pressure. The enemy before him was strong enough to warrant He's serious attention.

He spoke in a majestic voice, saying, "Your strength is great, but if that's all you've got, it's not enough to defeat me."

Did you speak?
Ye Mingqiu's lips curled up slightly. This was not the first time he had challenged the God of Fire, but in the past, the God of Fire had never taken him seriously and had simply killed him casually. He had not even recognized that he was the man who had challenged him dozens of times.

What an arrogant and powerful god!

Now, can you still arrogantly defeat me as before?

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed, his eyes burning with raging anger, and said, "Oh, is that so? Then let me show you my true power!"

[Bloodlust]

The Blood Spear ability was activated, and the crimson light ignited Ye Mingqiu's blood. Hot blood surged and rolled wildly within his body, rapidly consuming fuel to fuel his power.

At the same time, a powerful life force continuously emerges from within the Blood Spear, restoring the consumed blood and further enhancing the strength of the buffs.

This is the buff Blood Spear gains from absorbing Bloodstone over a long period! Incredible power!

[Blood Boiling] triggered!

War Roar

All attributes +9%!

【Shadow of Bloodshed】

Crimson light burst forth from Ye Mingqiu's body, transforming into a blood-red storm that descended, while the killing intent emanating from Ye Mingqiu also reached its peak.

But! That's not all!

Ye Mingqiu raised his hand and cast a Qi Refining Technique. A large number of colorless heat-insulating crystals adhered to his body surface, forming a layer of meticulously crafted special armor that did not impede his mobility. This was a special arrangement specifically designed for the God of Fire.

At the same time, the power of all phenomena within him also erupted. The power of all phenomena amplified Ye Mingqiu's body with the most primitive and universal techniques, further enhancing his basic attributes. The Blood Spear was also strengthened by [Divine Power - Enchantment], and the [Crimson Flame Destruction] of the Sun Badge was triggered, igniting the blood flames!
"."

Hephaestus fell into a brief silence as he looked at the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, who was covered in buffs. The pressure in his heart gradually increased. If he wasn't mistaken, this guy's vitality seemed to have reached twice that of him.

Keep in mind, this is a battle between equals!
This is not a battle between players of different levels!

"Humph~"

Hephaestus snorted and revealed a contemptuous smile again, saying, "If that's all you've got, you're still too weak."

He raised his hand, and his arm, flowing with magma, gradually lifted. In an instant, a ball of brilliant golden flame condensed at his fingertips, and the flame rapidly condensed into a tiny point in a short time.

"Divine Flame".

With a whisper, the spark pierced the sky in an instant, bursting forth with unparalleled speed and striking the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's body. The speed was so fast that even though the Bloodthirsty Tyrant had already sensed it, it did not have time to raise its weapon to resist.

"boom!!"

The explosive flames burst open instantly, almost dyeing half the sky red. The terrifying power could be clearly felt even from ten kilometers away.

Hephaestus looked at his masterpiece, his slightly moved face returning to its original indifference. He waited for the settlement in solitude, but the expected settlement did not come.

"boom!"

A figure flew out from the fiery cloud, transforming into a shooting star in a short time, and dragged the blood spear towards Hephaestus at an extremely fast speed.

That was the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, struck by the divine flames. At this moment, a few traces of flames remained on his body, but his main body was not harmed. He used the technique of [Skywalk] to fall rapidly towards Hephaestus.

"Oh!"

The blood spear clashed with the flaming greatsword, blood and brilliant golden flames collided, and Hephaestus unleashed a power even stronger than his current attributes, effortlessly parrying the blood spear's thrust.

Looking at the Bloodthirsty Tyrant up close, He wondered, "Something's not right. My flames have a penetration resistance of up to 700 points, as well as incineration resistance, and countless other effects. How did he manage to withstand the divine flames?"

Hephaestus narrowed his eyes, his deep, fiery gaze piercing through the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's fundamental nature in an instant.

His fire resistance is 2846!

Holy crap! That's 2800 fire resistance?!
Am I seeing things? Someone at level one can stack fire resistance to 2800? Huh? Huh? Huhhh?

Abnormal state resistance: 954
Control effect resistance: 923
In an instant, Hephaestus laughed. He felt like he was dreaming. How could someone have such high resistances at Tier 1?

I must not be fully awake yet.

"boom!"

The Blood Spear deflected the greatsword, and the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's blood-red eyes stared at Hephaestus, burning with fury. Even now, Hephaestus did not consider him a true opponent. He would still take time out of the battle to do his own thing, and would still think about His own affairs while fighting.

This guy wasn't even seriously fighting him; it was a reflection of arrogance and disdain.

I will personally shatter your arrogance!

Hephaestus!

Divine Skill - True Martial Great Thunderclap!
The active skill of the Divine Martial Cloak was activated, and a powerful and solid Myriad Manifestations Divine Power instantly condensed on the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's empty fist. The earth-attribute Myriad Manifestations Divine Power trembled slightly, and the surrounding space was also distorted by the fist. The incomparably terrifying divine power transformed into the power to suppress space.

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant swung its fist and, to Hephaestus's astonishment, struck Hephaestus's body. Hephaestus didn't react at all until it was hit, as if it were just a normal occurrence in battle.

His body is immune to physical attacks

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The force of the vibrations erupted, and terrifying roars rang out one after another. The space centered on Hephaestus took on a distorted form. It wasn't a true distortion of space, but rather the vibrations distorting the light.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound quietly rang out amidst the roar. Hephaestus's armor shattered, and blazing magma flames erupted from his body, while his sun-like core continued to operate steadily.

He looked down at the Bloodthirsty Tyrant with indifference and disdain, acknowledging that this psionicist was the strongest Tier 1 psionicist He had ever seen, possessing considerable power that was enough to astonish Him.

and then?
Will I be defeated by him?

Ah!
Hephaestus's body shattered and vanished under the attack of True Martial Thunderbolt, even his core was broken, but his health did not decrease in the slightest. He merely looked at the psionicist who was fighting with all his might with disdain.

His gaze met the blood-red eyes, and a crimson light flashed for a moment, the power of the mental impact piercing into Hephaestus's mind.

In an instant, He saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood, countless powerful figures piled up, and on a throne made of thousands of withered bones and remains, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant leaned back, one hand supporting his chin, his gaze fixed on Him, the god. What was going on?
How is he able to control me?
Is this an illusion?
"boom!!"

When Hephaestus came to his senses, his body had been completely shattered by a single blow. He casually reformed his lava god body in mid-air, squinting as he gazed at the Bloodthirsty Tyrant in the distance.

Just now, this guy gave him a very strange feeling; the oppressive feeling in his gaze was completely unlike that of a normal psychic.

He's incredibly strong, almost like a monster.
Hephaestus was still smiling. Then, he gripped the flaming greatsword tightly, and his body turned into a blur in an instant, arriving in front of the Bloodthirsty Tyrant. The flaming greatsword crashed down.

"boom!!"

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant's instincts kicked in, and it subconsciously raised its blood spear to resist. The brilliant golden flames and the blood flames clashed once more, and the crackling sound of their explosive confrontation resounded through the sky.

The human and the god stared at each other at close range. Hephaestus suddenly laughed, his body turning into a blur once more. At the same time, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant also moved, his divine halo shining brightly behind him.

They transformed into streaks of crimson and golden light, flashing rapidly across the sky. They collided repeatedly, unleashing deafening roars that shook the heavens. A few drops of crimson flames and golden flames fell to the ground, burning the earth to ashes. The fierce battle destroyed the entire battlefield.

Why can't it cause damage?

Bloodthirsty Tyrant pondered during the battle, carefully observing Hephaestus's body. He remembered clearly that during his first challenge against the god of fire, Hephaestus, he had caused the god to bleed a drop, resulting in 0.1% damage.

Now, even though he tried his best and destroyed Hephaestus's body, he could no longer cause any harm. There must be some special reason for this.

First of all, the source of the hostility is Hephaestus in front of him. He is not an illusory clone, but the real God of Fire. However, his body has a special ability to be elementalized, which can avoid damage to a certain extent.

In this case
【All-Encompassing Authority - Divine Skill - Great Dark Heaven】

Terrifying dark power surged wildly from the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's body. The Heavenly Authority, strengthened into the Authority of All Things, unleashed unimaginable terrifying power, enhancing the original Great Dark Heaven to its extreme, thus forming the advanced divine skill - Great Dark Heaven.

The sky was stained black, and Hephaestus, the god of fire, was also contained within it. He felt the power emanating from the Great Dark Heaven, and his deep eyes instantly revealed an expression of utter horror. He murmured to himself, "This is... the power of the sequence."

The next moment, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant flashed back to Hephaestus's side, its blood spear slicing through the air with bloody light.

"Bah!"

Hephaestus's chest was torn open, and crimson magma flowed out and was absorbed by the dark domain. He reassembled his body, and although he managed to collect most of his body parts again, a small amount of his divine blood was still devoured by the domain and could not return to his original body.

[Health Points: 96.3%]

He felt the loss of his body, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

The next moment, terrifying divine fire shot into the sky in an instant, burning the entire domain of the Great Dark Heaven, and the sacred firelight dispelled the darkness.

At the heart of the divine fire, Hephaestus coldly watched the Bloodthirsty Tyrant. He raised his hand, and hundreds of flames were ignited in mid-air, then instantly coalesced into a single point of fire just like the original divine flame.

"Fire Rain Meteors".

Countless points of light fell, like a sacred and vast meteor shower, trailing long fiery tails as they plummeted toward the Bloodthirsty Tyrant. Their power was hundreds of times stronger than the previous divine flames, but their speed was somewhat slower.

Even this slowdown was enough for the Bloodthirsty Tyrant to react.

He moved with the speed of a celestial being, dodging left and right in the rain of fire, trying his best to avoid the attacks, but countless fire points still fell on him, unleashing terrifying power. The defensive layer of the Qi Refining Crystal was shattered in a short time, and even the heat-insulating Qi Refining Crystal could not withstand this level of attack.

The flames burned his body, but the Bloodthirsty Tyrant still emerged from the rain of fire, his blood spear with a fiery tail piercing towards Hephaestus.

"Hey!!"

"boom!!"

In mid-air, the flaming greatsword pierced through the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's body, and the blood spear also pierced through Hephaestus's divine body. They injured each other and were suspended in mid-air.

"You can't hurt me, mortal."

Hephaestus said with a contemptuous smile.

"is it?"

Bloodthirsty Tyrant's mouth was bleeding, his heart was burned by the flaming greatsword, and his wounds were charred. He was now seriously injured and on the verge of death, but he still did not waver. His blood-red eyes stared intently at the God of Fire, and a scarlet light burst forth.

"This is."

Hephaestus was shocked. The world before him shifted again, and the world of mountains of corpses and seas of blood descended once more. But unlike last time, the tyrant on the throne had risen from his seat.

He slowly walked toward Hephaestus, his scarlet eyes fixed on Him, and advanced, holding the blood spear.

"Ok?"

Hephaestus tried to resist, but found himself completely unable to move, and even with his high mental attribute of 520 points, he could not break free.

The blood spear struck as Hephaestus struggled and resisted, piercing his body in an instant. The long-lost stinging pain erupted in his soul, and the feeling of being torn apart gradually distorted Hephaestus's face.

He struggled frantically, and the world before him returned to its original state.

However, the surrounding light had been lost, and the domain of the Great Dark Heaven enveloped Him, drawing upon the divine blood energy contained within Him during the standoff.

The most outrageous thing was that a crimson dragon soul emerged from the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Armor, biting at His body and devouring His divine blood and raging fire.

"Be bold!"

Hephaestus instantly flew into a rage, and terrifying flames transformed into a catastrophic storm that destroyed everything around it. The domain of the Great Dark Heaven was shattered once again, and the Fire Dragon Soul returned to the Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor.

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant's body was scorched by the explosive flames, gradually revealing charred marks, but his eyes were still filled with an endless, terrifying fighting spirit. His body was pushed away, and the flaming greatsword left a terrifying deep hole in his chest. No blood flowed out because the wound had been burned.

He fell from mid-air, and a vibrant life force burst forth from the blood spear. The crimson power reconstructed his heart, and his skin and muscles ignored the obstacles of the burn marks, forcibly allowing the wounds to heal in a short time.

The fallen Bloodthirsty Tyrant opened his eyes, supported by the divine halo behind him. Hephaestus, high above, pressed his advantage, and a giant flaming sword descended from the sky.

"boom!!"

The flaming giant sword landed, completely piercing through the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's body. A sea of ​​raging flames erupted, giving him no chance to generate a Great Dark Heaven Domain, turning the ground over a large area into a melting golden ocean.

Then, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, whose body had been pierced, disappeared. Hephaestus looked in the direction where he disappeared and a slight sense of crisis rose in his heart.

The true form of the Bloodthirsty Tyrant appeared behind Hephaestus, raising its blood spear high. The [Riddle Veil] absorbed the light of the flames, and a small domain of the Great Dark Heaven quietly opened, turning everything within a small area dark once again.

"When did you start to have the illusion that what you see is the truth?"

The tyrant's voice rang out, and the blood spear fell instantly, piercing through Hephaestus's body. The divine blood and the dissipated flames were once again absorbed by the domain.

Hephaestus sat silently on the ground, his spine pierced by a blood spear, divine blood flowing freely, but his face burned with the fury of rage.

He spoke in a deep voice, saying, "Mortal, you have successfully angered me."

Angry?
You who once ignored me, can now be angered by me?
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant suddenly laughed, his lips parting into a wide, unrestrained grin. Standing behind Hephaestus, he said, "So what?"

next moment

Hephaestus's rage flared
