Exploding God

Damn it...

Jin Chenghui knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Lu Ze's casual remark, like a torrent of mud and rocks, violently and ruthlessly washed over the young mind.

[Big brother, I'm begging you in blood to stop this nonsense!]

Despair filled Kim Sung-hui's eyes completely.

The courage he had mustered to speak after thirty seconds of preparation had now vanished without a trace.

As for whether the guy in the mecha would listen to his explanation, he had no hope whatsoever.

It's over, it's all over...

Across from Lu Ze, Dominic was first taken aback, then his blue pupils became bloodshot.

"I'll show you just how foolish it is to provoke a construct warrior!"

The chilling voice sounded like a file scraping against steel, and as the last four words were uttered, the jet engine behind [Rainbow Stream] instantly glowed crimson.

A deafening boom reverberated.

The fighter mech's feet crossed, forming a phantom, and it suddenly attacked.

In a mere 0.2 seconds, it accelerated to a speed of 60 m/s, its red paint flashing through the air like a rainbow, the diffused light creating three distinct afterimages.

That's...too fast!

A 50-meter alleyway takes only half a second!

Despite the terrifying force exerted on him, Dominic felt no discomfort whatsoever; all he could see in his pupils was Lu Ze's head.

hum-

In the brief moment when a normal person is still thinking, the fighter mech sprints to within ten meters of Lu Ze, and then bounces with a slight bend in its knees.

Dominic suddenly took to the air!

He spun the snake blade in his hand and slashed it down at an angle with ferocious force.

If it hits, the result is decapitation.

Lu Ze initially appeared to Dominic with that slow, bewildered expression, but—

Just as the recurve blade was about to strike his shoulder, Lu Ze surprisingly raised his head slightly, and in that extremely brief moment, his gaze met Dominic's calm eyes.

Bloodshot, sinister eyes; deep, bright eyes like the starry sky.

Like darkness and light, this moment presents a stark contrast.

[At rest—divided into four equal parts.]

Lu Ze's thoughts lingered in the Star Source Sea of ​​Consciousness, like the unstoppable will of a deity.

In the unseen space, the tireless golden pointer blurred for a moment with the next pause, splitting into four phantoms, which then disappeared one by one.

Lu Ze forcibly divided the 0.4-second stillness into four equal parts.

The serpent blade that had dragged out the afterimage now appeared before Lu Ze like a work of art suspended in mid-air.

Faced with absolute time stillness, all illusions are exposed and revealed to their true form.

That so-called ultimate speed has become a laughable slideshow at this moment.

The first phantom of the Star Source Pointer disappeared, and Lu Ze's body lightly rippled and twisted thirty degrees in the air. His right hand swung out, as if gathering strength or retracting his arm.

Snake Blade and Lu Ze passed each other, and a moment of confusion appeared in Dominic's eyes.

[This means... it was dodged?]

Am I hallucinating, or am I dreaming?

Dominic's doubts continued to grow, but that didn't stop him from using his superb reflexes to control the snake blade and sweep it to the side.

The blade, like a venomous snake rising up, suddenly flicked its tongue and attacked Lu Ze's wrist.

With 6-star strength and the Gale Realm Warrior skill, they are already walking humanoid weapons. With the powerful engine of the Fighter Mech propelling them, they are incredibly fast.

But at this moment, the phantom of the second star source pointer in Lu Ze's mind disappeared.

The world has come to a sudden stop again!

--Ding.

Lu Ze's right hand, which was originally in the direction of the blade's cut, had somehow appeared behind the back of the blade, his two fingers interlaced in an instant.

Between strikes, it sounded like a hammer striking, producing the sound of steel being forged.

The air was compressed into a thin white mist, which spread across the snake blade.

No matter how strong Dominic was, he couldn't stop his arm from being deflected by that light blow. Especially when he saw that Lu Ze still had that calm expression, his nameless anger grew even stronger.

How is that possible? You're not as strong as me, and you're not as fast as me, so how are you able to dodge my attacks!

However, as the third and fourth phantom star source pointers disappeared one after another, Lu Ze's actions in reality were simply a matter of calmly shifting his body and taking a step, using only his right hand to deflect the terrifyingly lethal blade one after another.

When the Star Source Clock's power cooled down, the world, which had stopped several times, finally returned to normal, but the scene was now completely different from before.

Lu Ze calmly looked at the steel arm in front of him that had missed its target. He clasped his four fingers together and bent them slightly. The moment the milky white air wave rose up, he stabbed down vertically, like a waterfall cascading from a cliff, leaving a straight white trail in the air!

—Flowing Water Unloading Wind Fist: Waterfall!

The palm strike landed precisely on the spine of the snake's blade.

hum.

The serpent blade bent visibly before Dominic's incredulous eyes, slipped from his grasp, and crashed to the ground.

Along with him, his lofty pride was also smashed into the mud!

Kneeling beside him, Kim Sung-hui stared at the scene before him like a dumbfounded squirrel.

Can anyone tell him what exactly happened the moment he knelt down?

Lu Ze repeatedly blocked the fighter mech's daggers with his hands before knocking it down...

Haha, are you kidding me?

Even if you asked me to dream about it, I would never dream of such a ridiculous scene.

But... why does that menacing-looking fighter mech look so forlorn?

"Three seconds."

Huh, what three seconds?!

Dominic's pupils contracted sharply. The casual remark quickly brought his mind back to normal, turning him into a mixture of shame and anger.

He dropped the Serpent Blade, but he still had his Arm Blade!

His waist twisted, and the six engine-like nozzles on his back simultaneously aligned with one direction, suddenly increasing pressure and jetting.

The fighter mech began to spin rapidly, and its chilling arm blades swept towards Lu Ze like slicing knives.

This time, I'll see if your fingers are harder, or my knife is!

Lu Ze looked up at the cold mask of the fighter mech so close to him and said calmly, "You have three seconds to prepare your last words."

In the instant he said those words, Lu Ze's demeanor changed.

His step back instantly gave him the air of a master, making people completely forget his age.

"One," Lu Ze said.

"Arrogant!!" Dominic roared angrily.

"three!"

Ok?

As Dominic's mind spun around, it felt as if a string had snapped.

Wait a minute, we haven't even counted to 2 yet.

Wait, how did I get distracted?!

In a flash, Dominic abruptly ended his thoughts, and then he saw two palms that parted the air and pierced through space, bringing with them countless light breezes and hundreds of streams of mist.

With a flowing, graceful beauty, and that…

A terrifying killing intent that made him tremble from the bottom of his heart!

Just before the blade was about to spin and strike, the dozens or even hundreds of palm-blade afterimages merged into one, striking the fighter mech's throat first.

Dominic's thoughts suddenly stopped. At that moment, the sound of the wind seemed to quiet down. Never before had he felt so clear-headed and time seemed to slow down as he did now.

He witnessed the magnificent scene of countless palm strikes gradually fading away, and he heard the dense sound of blows hitting the soft steel of his throat.

Foolish people...

With its scale-like armor and force transmission devices, how could a human arm possibly pierce through the steel armor?

However, he did not see that Lu Ze's attack caused the Star Origin Power in his sea of ​​consciousness to drop by half!

The force accumulated through 20 bends of the four knuckles was finally released, accompanied by a burst of 800 units of star power.

"White waves wash the sky, and even in shallow waters, dragons murmur."

[Star Origin Secret Technique]!

—Flowing Water Unloading Wind Fist: White Dragon's Roar!

Click.

A sharp shriek, like a dragon's roar, instantly caused a teeth-grinding resonance to appear on the steel armor of the throat, as surging power, conducted by steel, was poured into it.

Dominic's gaze suddenly froze. Behind the mask, all the capillaries on his face and all the carotid arteries in his neck were visible...

Exploded simultaneously!

"It's clearly...three...three..."

His last obsession made him repeat this word over and over again.

Looking at those eyes, bloodshot from ruptured blood vessels, Lu Ze said calmly, "Just now I suddenly didn't want to count to 2 anymore."

You're numb...

Dominic collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
