My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

With a furious shout, Dongjue immediately bent down and slammed his hand hard on the hard ground.

With a surge of immense and extraordinary power, like a tsunami, a huge, dark green ice crystal spike pierced through the entire area of ​​the Starry Sky Merchant Guild warehouse from bottom to top with the force of thunder!

In an instant, the image froze.

Whether it was the expressionless Weiss, the trembling Zell, the half-dead vice president and his two crippled bodyguards in the deep pit, or even the horses that were lying in the ruins barely clinging to life, they were all frozen in the same instant.

Strangely, this freezing did not cause any physical penetration.

hurt.

Those sealed inside felt no cold at all.

It was as if it had been frozen into a huge crystal with a dark green, gel-like texture.

Conquer Tier 7 Crystal

Winter's sequence pathway is not a secret.

He can forcibly transform anything he touches into an incredibly hard crystal.

But whether it was due to the forbidden object or some mystery, the crystalline wave he released at this moment only covered the past without causing any damage.

Even the invisible wind field that Weiss released was instantly filled and solidified by these dark green crystals.

At this moment, despite being in a state of absolute freeze, Weiss's expression remained unchanged. He simply raised the paw that had mutated into a giant ice bear and casually waved it around.

"Om-"

Accompanied by the casual flicking of the snow bear's paws.

The seemingly indestructible, dark green crystal within a radius of a hundred meters shattered with a single, effortless wave of his hand, turning into a shower of fine powder!

Dong Jue's dark green vortex pupils, which were originally filled with anger, widened slightly at this moment due to extreme shock.

In his vision, the sky was filled with drifting, ethereal green ice shards.

At the very center of that ring of shimmering ice crystal dust, a silver-haired boy was walking slowly and unhurriedly toward him.

As the other party approached, Dong Jue clearly felt an extremely strong sense of suffocation. The indescribable and terrifying pressure made every hair on his body tremble.

Even though they are both at the same level of the 7th rank of the extraordinary realm, why do I feel this absurd sense of fear?

"This is truly interesting; it's my first time facing a superhuman from the Conquest System head-on..."

"Nature drives the environment, extravagance generates its own magic, and slaughter strengthens itself."

"Does conquest mean forcibly changing everything...?"

In just a few seconds, the distance between the two had been reduced to a dangerous red line.

While muttering to himself thoughtfully, Weiss slowly extended his left hand, forcefully spreading and covering the location of Winter Duke with the gravitational wind field carrying the secrets of the mountains.

"boom!!!"

Under unimaginable pressure, the ground beneath Dong Jue's feet let out a mournful cry and collapsed and sank a large section of it.

His once straight back began to bend uncontrollably under that invisible, immense force.

But Dong Jue's reaction was incredibly fast. The instant he was suppressed by the invisible gravity, his aura went into full power, and a burst of extraordinary power exploded from his body.

"Buzzing buzzing—"

The engine roared and hummed.

The air flowing from all directions intertwined and condensed around him, instantly forming a thick, exaggerated ice crystal armor, somewhat resembling a bio-engineered suit, within half a second, completely enveloping his entire body.

Encased in this incredibly protective ice crystal armor, Winter Lord defied the terrifying pressure of the mountain's mysteries and slowly straightened his back and head in the eye of the storm.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out one hand and gently grasped a huge piece of roof beam debris that had just rolled down from the ruins beside him.

The broken wooden beam under his extraordinary power underwent an instant transformation, turning directly into a super ice crystal hammer three meters long, gleaming with a cold, eerie green light!

"Truly commendable courage! They actually dared to engage in direct combat with the Eight Night Patrol Guards within the royal city!"

"You'll soon find out just how this foolish act will end up..."

As Dong Jue's cold words fell, his dark green vortex pupils suddenly widened.

A mysterious and strange light emanated from it.

In an instant, something unexpected happened!

Without warning, layer upon layer of eerie green crystalline cubes appeared out of thin air around Weiss. These transparent cubes spun, merged, and shifted wildly, enveloping him completely, stacking up in dozens of layers.

Ultimately, it rose from the ruins of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce, transforming into a super cube-shaped skyscraper hundreds of meters tall.

Weiss, standing at the very center of the Rubik's Cube, suddenly felt like a statue cast in cement, unable to move even a single finger. All the bones, joints, and muscle lines in his body were locked in place by the intricately intersecting gaps of the Rubik's Cube.

"Oh, that's a very interesting ability..."

"Can't it even stop a wind farm with a considerable weight?"

Just as Weiss was still feeling emotional, the fully armed Winter Duke outside stopped talking and gripped the three-meter-long crystal hammer with both hands, rushing towards the Rubik's Cube Ice Coffin like a ghostly green afterimage.

As Winter Lord charged, several eerie green ice crystal arrows kept appearing beneath his feet.

These arrows act like propulsion systems; each time he stomps on one, a spectacular effect of shattering ice crystals creates a dazzling display, providing him with layer upon layer of extreme acceleration for his sprint.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang bang—"

With this terrifying acceleration, Winter's sprint had completely deviated from the realm of running; it was more like a direct, accelerated slide tackle.

The next second, Dong Jue, who had been accelerating to the limit like a blur, almost broke through the limits that the naked eye could perceive. He used all his extraordinary power to swing the crystal hammer and smash it hard on the surface of the ice coffin cube.

"Thump!!!!!"

The explosion caused by this hammer blow was deafening.

The entire ice coffin cube-shaped vision, which was hundreds of meters high, collapsed into dust the moment it was hit.

The aftershocks of the explosion violently blew everyone around the Starry Sky Merchant Guild warehouse, all the wrecked carriages, ruins, and even vegetation within a hundred-meter radius away.

Dust filled the entire venue like a sandstorm.

Cataclysmic destructive power...

Undoubtedly, Tier 7 Conquest Power!!!

However, Dong Jue paused for a few seconds while maintaining his full-force hammer swing, and his pupils under the ice crystal armor helmet inexplicably and slowly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

As the smoke and dust that filled the scene gradually dissipated in the breeze.

The silver-haired boy stood there unharmed.

Several invisible rings of wind surrounded him, slowly suspending and rotating like bearing supports.

It was an absolute defense launched by those who went against the tide!

Seeing this horrifying scene.

A storm raged within Dong Jue's heart.

This is my strongest ultimate technique, which I painstakingly developed just six months ago by incorporating profound secrets!

Surprisingly, they couldn't even break through the opponent's defenses...!?

When exactly did this level of monster appear during a night patrol of the royal city?!

Just as Dongjue felt his mind go blank.

Weiss's figure appeared as if by teleportation, amidst a swirling cloud of smoke and mist, flashing out of thin air behind him.

"By the way, you..."

"Is she really one of Snow White's guards?"

Then, a slightly puzzled voice sounded from behind.

Winter wanted to turn around and defend immediately, but it was already too late.

Faced with the teleportation effect caused by the clash between the rules of the amusement park and those who go against the grain, there are practically no superhumans in the world who could react in time.

Even caged birds can only watch helplessly.

The next second, the ends of the three giant ice bones behind Weiss's shoulder blades began to spray out clusters of ice-blue flames that resembled particle dust.

The icy blue liquid energy flowing within the transparent arm visibly diminished significantly.

The spring-loaded pin structure inside the ice bone fiber is repeatedly squeezed back and forth dozens of times in just one second.

Then, he slowly extended his icy bear paw, aimed it at Dong Jue's forehead as he turned halfway around, bent his knuckles together, and made a flicking motion on the forehead.

"Om-"

In Dong Jue's despairing gaze, as the finger snap landed, a ring of solidified ice-blue ripples, as if in slow motion, slowly spread and rippled through the air between the two.

The gaze freezes.

The entire screen experienced a momentary frame drop.

In the blink of an eye, Dong Jue's figure had vanished into thin air.

The person is gone just like that...

Someone who didn't know better might think it was a network lag issue.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

A few tenths of a second later, a series of deafening explosions echoed in Weiss's ears.

The dense forest behind the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce warehouse area was almost completely flattened by the wind pressure in an instant.

As far as the eye could see, all obstacles in the path were smashed to pieces by that devastating impact, and the destructive trajectory violently extended for more than ten kilometers from the front to the back.

One after another, giant holes in the wall appeared at the edge of the field of vision.

It's so big you can't see the bottom at all.

Meanwhile, at this very moment, more than ten kilometers away, in the ruins of a collapsed building.

Winter Duke's ice crystal armor, which covered his entire body, was now in pieces.

He was embedded in the pile of rubble, his head drooping listlessly.

His eyes were unfocused, empty and lifeless, staring blankly at the meteorite track that his own body had forcibly carved out.

"Is it because he was sent flying too far away in one go...?"

"My vision is already... somewhat blurred..."

"This is really... a huge problem..."

As those extremely weak words fell, Dongjue's consciousness completely plunged into darkness.

Meanwhile, the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce warehouse area has been reduced to ruins.

Weiss gently clenched his snow bear paw, which was still emitting wisps of cold air, his expression slightly helpless.

"Was that attack really too powerful?"

"I didn't quite control my strength..."

Just now, at the instant he extended his bear claw, he also froze the wind cycle of his left arm, thus triggering the amputee's amputation mystery once again.

Looking at the exaggerated destructive power now, it does seem like an overreaction.

Winter Duke's ice crystal armor did not have the defensive power he had imagined.

However, it's hard to say...

Perhaps the mystery of the severed arm is the most core and ultimate mystery in the sequence of severed arms.

After all, this is a secret that requires enduring extremely serious physical defects to activate, so it's reasonable that the destructive power granted by this terrible price is somewhat excessive.

In addition, there was an unexpected situation that made Weiss a little concerned.

He had initially thought his hair and clothes would be completely destroyed by the recoil of that snap.

As a result, seemingly due to the stable structure formed by the three giant ice bones behind the scapula and the accompanying wing membrane, the violent impact of that attack did not spill backward at all.

In the end, it was just a little dirt on the hem of my clothes.

Level 7 Kill, Extermination Path.
