The God of War's attack covered the three major areas of land, sky, and sea. If it were used on Earth, countless people would die. It was only because Disboard was a special case that it did not cause too much damage.
This planet is much larger than Earth, but its population density is actually lower. The endless wars have kept the population of each race from increasing. Although they are not as bad off as humans, who have only a few thousand members left, they are not doing well either. Most of the planet is deserted.
"I knew it! Lord Artesius would never lose!"
"The adult's power is still so terrifying. Anyone who takes this hit will be reduced to ashes."
"Except for our lord, all others are weak!"
The Skywing species appeared at the edge of the battlefield, facing the Dragon Spirit species from afar. In the middle was the stage for Karl and the God of War. Below them, humanity was preparing to use the collider to leave this world, but people no longer had time to pay attention to the spatial fluctuations below the amethyst.
Seeing the God of War's unparalleled attack, the Skywing race regained their confidence in him, believing him to be invincible, and they were all extremely excited. However, the Dragon Spirit race on the other side of the battlefield did not think so.
The Dragon King told his subordinates that the man who called himself Superman would not be defeated so easily. He had fought Karl before and knew how exaggerated the opponent's defense was.
The opponent took his roar without dodging or avoiding it. Although the God of War's attack was the strongest he had ever seen, much stronger than his own, it was an instantaneous burst of damage, while his own roar was continuous. The opponent had endured the dragon's roar for so long without being harmed, so it was impossible for him to be defeated so easily.
As he expected, a red light suddenly appeared in the canyon cleaved open by the God of War. Karl used his thermal vision to burn away the surrounding rocks and charged straight at the God of War. Close combat was the better option if he wanted to fight the God of War.
From the opportunity and exchange just now, Karl had roughly figured out the God of War's strength level; the opponent was indeed qualified to fight against Kryptonians.
The attack just now was powerful enough to destroy a planet, but the God of War didn't intend to do so. If Karl had been in his normal state to meet the attack, he would have been injured.
The God of War has reached the pinnacle of his control over the elven energy. It would be unwise for him to engage in a long-range battle with the opponent. The God of War can release energy in multiple forms with considerable power, which is his advantage.
In contrast, while Carl's thermal vision is powerful, its form is too simplistic. Although it is released quickly, its attack path is simple and straightforward, making it very easy to counter.
In the blink of an eye, Karl had arrived in front of the God of War. Close combat was a disadvantage against him, and once the two exchanged blows again, the battle would fall into Karl's rhythm. It would be difficult for the God of War to unleash any powerful magic under such circumstances, and the energy burst released by his enhanced passive ability had already been demonstrated once, so Karl would not fall for it again.
The God of War clearly knew this as well, and when faced with the menacing Karl, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
Other races usually need to create a portal before using spatial magic to teleport, but the Skywing race is different. Their Sky Movement is basically instantaneous; they can appear anywhere the instant the magic is completed.
The Winged Race was created by the God of War, and naturally, the God of War also possessed their innate skills, even surpassing them. Using the skill "Divine Teleportation," the God of War evaded Karl's attack, reappearing at the edge of the battlefield where the Winged Race were located.
"Lord Artes... has retreated..." the Skywing said in disbelief.
Since their birth, the God of War has always demonstrated a fighting style of constantly confronting the strong with the strong and crushing them. No matter who the opponent is, the God of War will respond in the most direct and ferocious way.
But now the God of War has retreated, not to avoid the opponent's moves, but to retreat voluntarily as the opponent closes in.
Although the Skywing race didn't want to admit it, this behavior looked as if the God of War was afraid of his opponent, like two boxers in a ring, one retreating to the edge of the ring to avoid the other's attack.
For most people, this wouldn't be a big deal, but it's different for the Skywing race. Their living environment has instilled in them an extreme mindset: everyone except the God of War is weak.
But now, this mental conviction has cracked. Although they still believe in the power of the God of War, the meaning behind this event has given them a sense that the God of War's invincible aura has been shattered.
The God of War noticed the strange behavior of the Skywing race behind him, but he had no energy to pay attention to it. He had to fight with all his might in the battle before him, and any lapse in concentration could lead to defeat.
For example, just now, if he hadn't been paying close attention to every change on the battlefield, he wouldn't have been able to prepare for teleportation before Karl rushed to his side.
“I originally planned to have a thrilling battle regardless of the outcome, but as expected, I still want to win,” the God of War said to Karl.
"How you fight is your business, but I will be the one who wins in the end," Karl replied.
The God of War's lips curled up, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He originally planned to use all his energy to directly clash with Karl, but his desire for victory made him switch to using tactics.
This was also the first time for the God of War; no one had ever forced him to do this before, and he was very much looking forward to the unknown battle.
Chapter 281 Reality Replacement
The God of War uses his teleportation ability to constantly change his location, expanding the battlefield to the entire planet. His presence, which causes cataclysmic changes, makes it easy for Karl to find him every time.
To avoid being dragged into close combat by Karl, the God of War never stayed in one place for more than a breath, sometimes appearing on the sea, sometimes in the forest, and the two of them visited the territories of various races.
Carl tried to catch up with his opponent several times, but with little success.
Each time the God of War changed positions, he would leave behind different magic circles. Although the attacks released from these circles could not harm Karl, they also could not stop the God of War from moving again.
Faced with this situation, Karl frowned, stopped chasing the God of War, turned around and flew back to the origin of the battlefield, which was above the human hiding place.
It's better to stay put than to waste time circling the planet.
Riku and Shubi are still operating the collider underground. Admittedly, the barrier created by the Purple Lamp Ring is extremely powerful, and with its ability to manifest amethyst, it is almost the best among the seven lamps.
However, if either the Dragon Spirit or the Skywing race on the scene becomes interested in the underground space, Riku cannot withstand all the attacks on his own. The combat power of the superior race is still quite good, and it is very likely that they can break through the barrier in a few minutes. After all, Riku does not have the furnace as a backup, and it is too slow to charge up with his own emotions. The energy of the ring is decreasing with each use.
With Karl here, other races won't be able to focus their attention on destroying the amethyst, and humanity will be perfectly safe.
However, this is only a secondary reason, a side effect. The more direct reason is that when Karl chooses to hold a certain position, the God of War must change tactics and take the initiative to attack Karl.
The God of War's constant dodging was actually an attempt to prolong the battle. Due to the concept he represented, his combat power would increase as the battle progressed. He was not yet able to directly confront Karl, but as long as he continued to grow, his combat power would eventually reach the required level.
This tactic was correct, but the situation is different now. Karl has stopped the pursuit, which means he has stopped fighting. If the God of War continues to evade, it would be tantamount to agreeing to a pause in the battle.
Karl and his battle were the God of War's primary source of power at this moment, and he could not allow the battle to stop, because he would not be able to win if he did.
The God of War stopped a little further away, making sure he had enough time to use his teleportation ability to defend against Karl's sudden attack. However, now that the roles of offense and defense had been reversed, he couldn't just focus on dodging.
"This man's strength is truly unprecedented in my life. His skin is harder than dragon bones, and his strength is so great that he could even tear my body apart. If I want to win, I absolutely cannot be dragged into close combat again." The God of War analyzed the current situation.
"The opponent's attributes are superior to mine in every aspect, but I am not without advantages. Although I don't know why, the opponent cannot control Pokémon and almost only uses his body in battle. The only energy attack he has shown is a terrifying high-temperature ray that shoots out from his eyes."
"The other party may be from another world, a world without elves, a world that does not use external energy and relies solely on its own strength. It's a really interesting system."
"However, since the opponent doesn't use elves, it means he doesn't have any corresponding countermeasures. The battle just now proved this point. Every time, the opponent broke through my magic with brute force. This might be my chance."
Thinking of this, the God of War, contrary to his usual behavior, flew towards Karl at breakneck speed, and Karl was naturally happy to see this, so he approached the other party.
A moment later, the two met again in full view of everyone. Everyone held their breath, nervously waiting for the earth-shattering collision that was about to take place.
However, the reality was quite different. After the distance between Karl and the God of War shrank to a certain extent, the two of them disappeared directly from the real world.
Reality replacement.
A top-tier spatial magic that can create a personal space to replace reality. The stronger the user, the larger the area that will be replaced. The effect is somewhat similar to the Reality Marble in the Type-Moon universe, but it is more flexible, and the situation inside can be determined by the caster on the spot.
In the main story of No Game No Life, reality-altering magic appears frequently, and many high-ranking races rely on it to complete their games. However, this doesn't mean reality alteration is easy; games and battles are different, and games have rules. It can limit an opponent's ability to destroy the field.
The God of War was the first to choose to use this move against Karl, partly because he had abundant energy and was not afraid of being consumed, and partly because he knew that Karl did not know magic and had no means to deal with space.
"What do you think of my move?"
Karl could see the changes in the surrounding scenery, and using the magical information he had learned from Sink, he quickly recognized the situation before him.
The God of War turned this place into his own domain, where he could control everything. First of all, in terms of environment, this domain was not much different from the outside world. It was still scorched earth covered by war, with a gloomy sky. The God of War had seen sunny days, but compared to that, he still preferred the cruel environment before him, so he did not make many changes in this regard.
The God of War used this move mainly to increase the diversity of his methods. He is the strongest god, but not omnipotent. Having always lived inside the Fantasy Species, he is definitely not as good as the God of Forest in terms of the diversity of magic.
However, things are different in the reality where he is replaced. Here, even if he doesn't know a certain kind of magic, he can still achieve the same goal.
Karl was very close before, but the God of War disappeared from the surroundings after the domain was deployed. Now he has reappeared, time and time again.
Twelve identical war gods appeared before Karl, each radiating an astonishing aura, no less powerful than the original Karl who had fought him in the outside world.
Karl stared at them, carefully examining his own mind to make sure he hadn't used any illusions. The God of War had indeed found 11 versions of himself with the same combat power, and these Gods of War, like the real him, would grow stronger as the battle progressed.
The God of War certainly didn't truly replicate himself; there must still be a distinction between the true body and the clones. Perhaps he is hidden among these people, or perhaps all 12 Gods of War are clones, with the true God of War still hiding in the shadows.
While Karl was creating his own War God clone, his opponent wasn't idle either. Twelve strange spells had already been quietly activated. These weren't direct beam attacks, but rather unorthodox techniques like curses, designed to weaken Karl rather than eliminate him.
Chapter 282 Solar Flare
Karl was shrouded in an ominous purple aura, and his eyes were veiled by a layer of black mist. But the worst damage was to his blind spots. He was losing energy and his mind was in chaos, as if a stone was stuck in his brain, hindering his thinking.
This is the God of War's curse, a total of twelve different curses, attacking the body, mind, and soul in all directions. If an ordinary Kryptonian were to be struck by similar magic, they would probably have lost all ability to resist.
Kryptonians are very strong, but their affinity with magic is no different from that of ordinary people. They are fine with damaging magic, and they can even withstand Zeus's lightning with their own physical strength.
Curses are not so easy to deal with. The best way to deal with them is to avoid being affected. However, these kinds of magic are inherently stealthy, and the current battlefield is still under the control of the God of War, so it is not so easy to avoid them.
Karl slowly descended to the ground, looking utterly exhausted.
"Has it taken effect?" the God of War asked himself in the shadows.
He did not reveal his true form, but sent his clone to deal with Karl. As he had said before, he wanted to win, so he not only used all his strength, but also employed a scheme.
This was a completely new experience for the God of War. In order to defeat his opponent, he carefully calculated every bit of power in his hands and tried his best to make them play their maximum role. He was born a strongman, and in the past, no matter who he faced, he only needed to use his maximum power to fight back to win.
As the saying goes, things reach their extremes and then reverse. The God of War also vaguely sensed the drawbacks of this situation. Although he was always winning and everyone else was weak, he didn't understand the feelings of the weak and didn't know what the world looked like to them.
The God of War once told the Skywing race that he might lose, but he didn't mean that he would encounter an unexpected and powerful enemy like he is now, but rather that he would only lose to the weak.
Because he doesn't understand the weak and hasn't personally experienced that perspective, the actions of the weak are unknown to him. And the unknown means variables, and among the many variables, there may be a future where he is defeated.
However, the situation is different now. For the first time, the God of War experienced what it felt like to be weak, filling a gap in his thinking.
"Give it your all, exhaust all your wits, this is the real battle!" the God of War and his clones roared excitedly, their strength tripling.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with fighting a battle he might lose; on the contrary, he enjoyed it even more. The more difficult the battle, the greater the sense of accomplishment after winning. If he could win this time, it would definitely be the happiest thing in his long life.
With this in mind, the God of War commanded his 12 clones to continue activating the curse, and at the same time summoned 6 more clones from the void.
The current number of clones has reached 18, corresponding to the 18 wings of the God of War. This is also the current limit for his clones. It would be possible to increase the number further, but then it would be impossible to guarantee that the clones would have the same strength as the original body, and such clones would not be very useful.
These six newly appeared clones had been hiding and gathering power in the shadows as soon as this domain was formed, and the magic they prepared was the God of War's strongest offensive magic—the Divine Strike, the counterpart to the Sky Strike of the Winged Race.
Karl now appears to have experienced a severe decline in his condition. According to the God of War's reconnaissance methods, his energy level has dropped by more than half, and is now below the current God of War level.
At the same time, the curse chosen by the God of War will also hinder the flow of energy, including but not limited to elves. No matter what means Karl wants to use to deal with it, it will be greatly interfered with, and even overly complex and powerful moves will not be able to be used.
Even so, the God of War was still cautious and did not use his killing move directly. Instead, he sent some of his clones to test the waters first, while his main body remained hidden in the shadows, not revealing a trace.
"Come on, let me see just how much strength you have left after suffering such a powerful curse, and how you will respond to these six divine strikes!" the God of War thought to himself.
Since being cursed, Karl had not moved from his position, and at this moment, the Six Godslashes successfully locked onto him.
They are magnificent and stretch across the sky and earth, like six huge waterfalls. Wherever they pass, everything is washed away and eventually converges at one point, which is where Karl is.
The God of War stared intently at the scene. According to his calculations, Karl should not be able to withstand this attack easily. He just didn't know how badly he would be injured. Depending on the severity of the injury, his next course of action would be different.
However, just as the six beams of light were only an inch away from Karl, an unexpected event occurred.
Suddenly, a layer of flames ignited on Karl's body, and then these flames rose up and transformed into boundless light that filled every inch of space.
The Six Divine Strikes were the first to be hit. The originally massive and solid energy dissipated like smoke the moment it encountered the light. Compared to the light, their density was indeed no different from that of smoke.
After the divine strike dissipated, the God of War and his clone were immediately enveloped in light. This was an all-around attack with no blind spots. No matter where the God of War's main body was hiding, as long as he was still within this domain, he had nowhere to escape.
Because these lights had truly occupied every corner, even after the God of War was affected, they did not stop. Everything was drawn into them, but even so, the lights were still not satisfied and continued to spread.
The domain created by the God of War was vast, but it still had its limits. Now, these lights filled the entire space, yet there was still no sign of them stopping. In the end, the entire reality shattered.
