Chapter 561: 189. Battle of the Natural Disaster

Clang!

At the distant horizon, a crimson lightning tore through, speeding at the pace of light, and in an instant, it split the sky. In the air, it turned at a right angle and fell directly downward.

—————————— Boom!

Dust billowed and quickly dispersed, revealing the figure of Li Aozi holding a baby.

"Hobbs, Lucite!"

Gravity dispersed the dust, and Li Aozi’s gaze hardened.

"...Oh? Isn’t this Junior Leoz?"

Canyue slowly turned his head, surprised to see Li Aozi:

"I thought you were going to hide it until the very last moment?"

Saying so, Canyue slowly turned around, revealing the empty ground behind him.

Noticing Li Aozi’s gaze on his back, Canyue suddenly realized, and took out four cards from his pocket:

"I guess, you came for these, right?"

As the sunset gradually sank, Li Aozi’s figure was dragged into the shadows.

With the blood-red sun cloaking him, Canyue’s visage seemed even more radiant and beautiful.

"Leoz, as fellow Ascenders on the same Sovereign Pathway, I quite admire you."

As Canyue spoke, worried that Leoz might not recognize him, he thoughtfully added:

"I am Senior Modote from the Inspectorate, this appearance is my true form."

Li Aozi remained silent, cradling Dialan’s swaddling clothes, his gaze growing colder.

"Your aura... Hmm, it seems you have used some means to forcefully advance to Zeta Rank. But looking at your appearance and aura, you are still far behind me."

Canyue stroked his chin, suddenly thought of something, and excitedly said:

"Speaking of which, we are kind of the same."

"You like to infiltrate schools, experiencing campus life, and I really enjoy role-playing."

"Maybe this is a common hobby among us Sovereign Pathway fellows."

Being of the same Zeta Rank, Canyue spoke more politely to Li Aozi.

"So, what is your purpose?" Canyue asked, tilting his head.

Li Aozi remained silent, his expression unreadable.

"...Since you won’t speak, then I’ll pretend I never saw you."

Canyue shrugged, and buildings behind him transformed, the dimensions flattened and compressed. In an instant, a deep gray wave-like high tower emerged behind him, and residual growth-armored vanguards fold-jumped out from various dimensions, forming a welcoming squad instantly, flanking both sides with imposing presence.

Canyue turned around and waved his hand:

"See you when fate allows, Junior Leoz."

Hum!

No sooner had he spoken than all the growth-armored vanguards’ heads neatly exploded, each spine nailing into the ground like spikes. Even Canyue was affected, his figure swaying as he rapidly transitioned from two-dimensional space to create distance.

He turned, looking toward his junior whose eyes were beginning to glow with a golden halo.

"Hey~ hey~ hey~"

Canyue spread his hands:

"Leoz, why go through all this trouble? We’re of the same Pathway, the same hobbies, the same beauty—do you really have to oppose me?"

"Leave the person behind."

Li Aozi said.

"Do you think that’s possible?"

Canyue narrowed his eyes:

"Leoz, being an outside Arcane User yourself, you should understand why I am here. They are witnesses, how can I possibly hand them over?"

"Then let’s fight."

Li Aozi spat out some saliva, sent Dialan into a spacetime rift, and crossed his arms.

[Dictator Form activated]

Canyue laughed:

"Hey! You aren’t really going to fight, are you?"

[Never Disobedience]

The head of the false Implant Gear exploded momentarily, and spacetime rippled instantly under the influence of Li Aozi’s gravity. The earth voluntarily offered up metals and rocks to forge armor for him, and his skin quickly became porcelainized as his reformed head was covered with a helmet of sharp angles. The Arcane Energy he held was integrated in an instant, condensing into shimmering silver-white armor plates on Li Aozi’s body.

Canyue’s gaze sharpened.

Echo Force, tearing open a rift in spacetime!

The next moment, Li Aozi’s figure instantly tore through the spacetime ripple and arrived in front of him, raising a fist and smashing it hard onto his face.

[Sequence 82: Bloodline]

Woosh—

The air was instantly vacuumed away, and Canyue, with his hands in his pockets, leisurely dodged Li Aozi’s punch.

To be precise, he didn’t dodge; he just stood there.

He didn’t need any skills; the moment Li Aozi’s punch was about to hit him, he would lower his dimension to the surface of an air molecule and then instantly ascend in dimension afterward.

For a Psychic with highly developed Arcane Energy capabilities, this was as effortless as eating and drinking.

"Too slow, too slow. Such mere Physical Strengthening class Arcane Energy, even at the Omega Tier, how could it keep up with the speed of dimension hopping?"

Li Aozi’s punches were fierce, each one capable of delivering a terrifying blow. Even just the wind from his punches, when it missed, could tear hair-raising gaps in the metallic shell of the earth and The High Tower.

"No matter how strong the force, if it doesn’t hit, it’s as if there’s no force at all."

Canyue’s expression was leisurely and carefree.

"Give it up, Leoz. In the face of a dimension jumper, physical strength is laughable."

Relying on the body to fight him wasn’t necessarily impossible.

After all, there were only about 2.6875×10^19 molecules in a cubic centimeter of air. Just punch through them one by one, scan them all in a flash, and he could be damaged.

This was simpler than simple; theoretically, having hands was enough, or as long as the speed of the punches was fast enough, there was still a chance to catch him in the instant he activated his Arcane Energy.

Of course, the being capable of achieving this was definitely not a rookie who merely had a Zeta-rank Framework.

Li Aozi was silent; he coldly continued his assault, punch by punch, each one being dodged.

"Why repeat such pointless actions?" Canyue said earnestly in an advisory tone, "There’s no conflict between us, if anything, we’re just two classmates, friends."

Li Aozi kept punching, his purple-red eyes spreading and expanding like a nebula.

"You should gauge the situation, Leoz."

[Sequence 77: Calamity]

I curse you... Your body will definitely malfunction.

Cursing a Zeta-tier required too much energy, so he could only use the strength and speed from [Bloodline] as his offensive, covering his real intent.

"Won’t listen to me, huh? Leoz, I appreciate you; you’re composed, sharp, practical, efficient, and given time you might surpass me, no, your surpassing me is inevitable. So why would you destroy yourself here?"

Psychics usually only specialized in one or two Arcane Energies, and judging by Canyue’s performance and reactions, he definitely hadn’t mastered any Constitution-enhancing abilities like Physical Strengthening.

Targeting at the molecular level, Gravity couldn’t operate that precisely to pull him directly out, so he kept punching fist by fist.

—You will make a mistake.

Li Aozi’s punch tore open the vacuum.

"Why don’t you understand? Can’t you, like your name suggests—like Leoz, know when to advance and when to retreat?"

Canyue sighed:

"If you keep this up, I’m going to have to make a move."

—And once you make a mistake, you will pay the price.

Ding.

Just as he was about to activate his Arcane Energy, Canyue’s heart skipped a beat.

’What’s happening? Is there a delay in the neural interface of the Implant Gear body?’

Maybe it was too long without maintenance; after all, this body had been in hiding for three years, and a minor issue, even a one in ten million chance, was possible.

With such an advantage, even a real problem wouldn’t be enough to matter—

Bang!

Just in that moment of delay, Li Aozi surged forward, landing a precise punch on Canyue’s face.

Canyue’s body instantly flew backwards, but Li Aozi was not about to let him go.

[Sequence 9: Gravity]

Gravity oppression.

Li Aozi raised his hand and shouted:

"Criminal Canyue, kneel before me!"
