Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

Saifei waved from a distance.

"Yuanzi, keep winning for me."

"Go, Xiao Yuan!" Ti Bao jumped up and down, wanting Bai Yuan to see her.

"victory!"

Wan Di only shouted those two words at Bai Yuan.

"It seems that there are words in the dictionary of the Suspended Peak Man." Bai Yuan thought to himself as he listened to Wan Di's words.

Finally, Bai Yuan's gaze fell on Xia Die.

Xia Die didn't say anything, but gave Bai Yuan an encouraging look.

Qun Yi Lin Yi Qi (IV) $Wu Jiu Su Jiu Ba Zhi De Xin De encouragement.

Bai Yuan gripped the Heavenly Punishment Blade tightly and walked towards the steps.

As he walked, his aura grew stronger.

With so many people's blessings on his shoulders, he felt he could defeat any formidable enemy.

……

As Bai Yuan walked up the steps, he clearly sensed that it wasn't a physical entity. To be precise, it was more like a condensation of spirit.

"The composition of Onpharos is truly amazing."

Bai Yuan thought to himself, then stepped onto the platform above the steps.

This place was also built using the power of the spirit.

Bai Yuan looked around and felt that this was similar to the arena in Nicardoli. Opposite Bai Yuan stood the warrior he had sensed earlier, wearing a helmet and holding a spear.

"Nikadory?"

Bai Yuan spoke to Him.

He didn't speak, but simply nodded silently.

He raised the spear in his hand, pointing it at the Heavenly Punishment Blade in Bai Yuan's hand.

"Take my spear, or I will take your sword."

“Then it seems I need to go back and learn how to use a spear.” Bai Yuan said, stepping on the ground and swinging his greatsword at Nicardoli.

Nicardi stepped forward with his left foot, bent his right leg slightly, and pointed his spear shaft diagonally at the ground, using the ground to block Bai Yuan's greatsword slash.

With a muffled thud, Bai Yuan landed backward on the ground. Upon landing, Bai Yuan didn't stop; instead, he lowered his body and slashed diagonally towards Nicardoli.

The sword swept out with a whooshing sound, carrying the power of all blessings, becoming unstoppable.

Nicardi leaned back sharply, his spear shaft held upright against his chest at the last second. With a clang, he used the impact to slide three steps backward, his boots leaving two long tracks on the hard ground.

"Next, it's my turn!"

Nicardoli's retreating posture suddenly turned into a forward charge. The spear in his hand transformed into a silver lightning bolt, its tip rapidly trembling as it pierced Bai Yuan's throat, heart, and knee.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan quickly retreated, his broad sword acting like a shield to protect his vitals.

His size became an advantage at this moment, and Nicardoli's spear pierced the blade of Divine Punishment. Divine Punishment and the spear collided, sparks flying.

Nicardi's spear kept thrusting, relentlessly pushing Shirogen to the edge of the platform.

Just as Bai Yuan was about to be knocked to the ground, he thrust his greatsword downwards and stepped onto it.

Nicardi was still thrusting at Hakugen's greatsword when Hakugen seized the opportunity to jump behind him. He reached out and grabbed Hakugen's neck, executing a judo throw.

The spear also fell to one side.

Bai Yuan and Nicardo both became unarmed at the same time.

Bai Yuan pressed his hands on Nicardi's shoulders and delivered a knee strike to his chest. Nicardi reacted quickly, smashing his steel helmet into Bai Yuan's shin.

Bai Yuan flashed forward, rushed to the Heavenly Punishment Blade, picked it up, and slashed at Nicardoli.

Meanwhile, Nicardoli rolled on the ground a few times before clashing his Heavenly Punishment Spear with Bai Yuan's Heavenly Punishment Blade.

The two engaged in a new round of battle.

……

Hakugen and Nicardoli fought for hundreds of rounds without a clear victor.

In a real battle, Bai Yuan could have won long ago by relying on his immortality. But in this mental battle with Nicardi, Bai Yuan knew that if he relied on immortality, it would all be meaningless.

They will not be accepted by the sparks of conflict.

Once again, their spears clashed.

"How can we win?"

Bai Yuan thought to himself.

His combat skills and so on all came from Nicardoli, so it can be said that they are exactly the same as His.

They were taught by the same master, yet they couldn't break each other's moves no matter what.

If they continue fighting, it might take thousands of moves to determine a winner.

Unless there are other means of attack.

Nicardi charged forward, but Hakugen parried with both hands, swinging his sword. As was his habit, Nicardi held his spear horizontally, intending to continue suppressing Hakugen's greatsword.

The two were very close, with Nicardi's entire attention focused on his hands and Hakugen's greatsword.

At that moment, a sharp blade suddenly appeared against Bai Yuan's arm. The sudden thrust caught Nicardoli off guard. After being stabbed in the arm, Bai Yuan pushed him aside, then raised his greatsword and thrust it straight into Nicardoli's chest, piercing through it completely.

Bai Yuan's second clone had absorbed the bodies of the antimatter legion's illusory soldiers, but he dared not use it earlier because Nicardoli had reacted in time. He could only unleash this move to catch them off guard when both sides were completely focused on their weapons.

The greatsword pierced through Nicardoli's spiritual body, and he remained motionless.

A deep, resonant voice appeared in Bai Yuan's mind.

"You defeated me, and from now on, the flame of the Titans of Strife is yours. Fortunately, you passed this trial, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to hold on."

"What's going on with you?"

Bai Yuan knew that in the game, Nicardi's spirit was found with the help of the Titan of Time. Now that the Titan of Time is gone, what's going on?

"Before I was corrupted, I separated my sanity. I thought I could regain some of it in the future, but I never expected that my other parts would be devoured by some unknown entity."

Bai Yuan remained silent.

He manipulated his clones to do all of this.

However, even when facing the soon-to-disappear Nicardo, Shiromoto would not reveal these things.

"For some reason, you possess the power of conflict, and it is quite abundant. You can try to rekindle my flame. However, because of my existence, although the energy in your body is fine, you cannot ignite the flame."

"Now that you have defeated me, you can finally ignite the flame of Suspended Edge."

"Yes, this is all thanks to the efforts of me and my comrades."

“Indeed, if it weren’t for the conflict and desires you’ve all condensed, I wouldn’t be here.” Nicardo nodded.

"Lord Nicardi, what exactly is your current composition?"

Although Bai Yuan knew that the spirit of battle could condense Nicardi's rationality, he didn't know exactly why.

"I don't know, I only know that I exist here."

Nicardoli was unaware of this.

He felt the components of his own body disappearing, and then said to Bai Yuan, "Promise me that you will help me protect this world and defeat the Black Tide. Also, kill the one who devoured the rest of me."

"Don't worry, I will do it."

I can only do the first half.

Bai Yuan thought to himself.

Then, he felt the rational spirit of Nicardoli in front of him injecting a force into his own body.

The energy of the conflict-ridden Titanicadori is igniting.

"How can there be Ceres' energy in your body?" Nicardo asked, sounding puzzled after only doing half of the task.

He originally thought he could completely ignite all the energy in Bai Yuan's body, making Bai Yuan a demigod of the Titans of Strife.

It turned out there were other people inside him—no, other Titans. The spark within Nicardi's body only triggered a reaction in about half of the energy within Hakugen's body.

Bai Yuan replied to Him: "My body can bear the power of multiple Titans at the same time. At the same time, I am also trying to ignite more sparks belonging to the Titans."

He told Nicardoli about his thoughts on the power within him.

Nicardoli was stunned.

"Is this okay?"

Absorb more Titans and become a demigod of more Titans, thereby increasing your power and safety...

Bai Yuan asked Him, "Do you think this is feasible?"

“I don’t know.” Nicardo shook his head. “I’m a man who only knows how to speak with his sword and gun. You should think about these things.”

"All I know is that I can now ignite the power of the Titan of Strife within you and make you a demigod of Strife."

"it is good."

Nicardi's form began to fade, while golden crystals appeared on Bai Yuan's body. He tossed the spear in his hand to Bai Yuan, who caught it and then felt the spear gradually transform from spirit into substance.

"This Spear of Divine Punishment is in its full form. Using it will consume much more energy than the Blade of Divine Punishment you are currently holding. Be careful with the energy consumption when using it in the future. I suggest that you use your greatsword as much as possible in normal circumstances."

Holding the spear, Nicardi was still reminding Shiromoto.

"Yes, I know."

Crystals were covering Bai Yuan's body. Nicardo continued to say to Bai Yuan, "I should convey to you the divine oracle that belongs to you. However, I don't know if it is suitable for you. Your appearance seems to be breaking the fate of all of us."

Then, before Bai Yuan could speak, He uttered the divine oracle.

“One day, you will die with a sore on your back.”

Of course, He felt that these words were inappropriate for Bai Yuan.

The immortality within his body is completely different from the immortality belonging to Nicardoli, and his back is not his weak point.

If this divine decree were applied to Bai Yuan, it would mean that even if other methods were used to kill him, there would be no way to kill him unless he was injured in the back.

"On the contrary, it became a form of insurance."

Nicardo felt a little happy inside.

After all, no one wants the one who inherits their flame to meet a tragic end. Especially since he sensed that the journey to the flame was undergoing tremendous changes. Perhaps, without the need for [Recreation], the entire Onpharos could still be saved.

In that case, perhaps His name, Nicardo, could continue to be passed down.

Even He himself longed for the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy.

Nicardi looked at the crystals covering Bai Yuan's body, then at the expectant Suspended Man below.

"My loss of reason has brought them much suffering. Let me use this last bit of strength to do one last thing for them."

He then looked at the Spear of Divine Punishment in Bai Yuan's hand.

"I've poured all the power and spirit from my body into this attack. When you unleash your power later, it will be far stronger than what you're doing now. In fact, our combined power will be stronger than my attack at my peak. Use this power to do what needs to be done."

Nicardoli's figure gradually disappeared.

"Savor this power and strive to obtain more Titan's Sparks in the future, so you can unleash even more powerful attacks than this one. Also, remember to grow taller; you're still a bit short."

"You don't need to tell me, I will get a new Titan Spark and then grow taller."

Bai Yuan was speechless when he heard Nicardoli's last sentence.

I've grown taller, I'm getting taller.

The crystals on his body are slowly loosening, and Bai Yuan is about to break free from his cocoon and become a new Titan demigod of conflict.

……

Below the arena, Xuanfengren, Xiadie, Saifeier, and Tibao were all looking up. However, due to Nicardoli's mental limitations, they couldn't clearly see what was happening on the battlefield.
