Chapter 869: Chapter 787: Transcend Level Battle!
What is the confrontation between Transcendent level beings like?
Presumably, the vast majority of people in this world can only read descriptions about such battles in books, but have never actually witnessed a fight between beings of this level, right?
In fact, ever since the Demon King was defeated and the three clans moved towards peace, it’s nearly impossible for Transcendent level existences to wage war against each other.
After all, peace has been achieved, and Transcendent level beings are figures sitting at the pinnacle of each clan, so they naturally cannot start a fight just like that.
Even Shane has never seen a showdown between characters of Transcendent level.
The Transcendent level confrontation he experienced, if one had to argue, could include the battle with Moro.
At that time, Moro truly possessed Transcendent level power in the last moment, and Shane also deployed all means, unsealed the Holy Sword, and used the capability of Reincarnation Destiny, similarly achieving Transcendent level combat power.
Unfortunately, both were not genuine Transcendent level. One cast a single move and blew up, while the other suffered exhaustion after erupting; they exchanged just once, and the outcome was decided.
Therefore, strictly speaking, that battle cannot be considered a confrontation between Transcendent level existences.
Lilith and Camina had fought once before, but unfortunately, Shane was not present.
In other words, this battle between Camina and the Space-Time Goddess is indeed the first true Transcendent level conflict Shane has witnessed and experienced firsthand.
“Boom—!”
As Shane arrived at the scene carrying Lilith, thunderous roars already reverberated above the Supreme Castle.
Ripples of Magic Power intertwined with shock waves, expanding in rings around them, causing the atmosphere to hum and tremble.
Even the Central City frequently quivered, as if enduring an earthquake, causing cries of alarm to echo from all directions.
Even Shane felt his ears buzz for a moment, his mind blanking momentarily, before he could clearly comprehend the situation.
There, above the Supreme Castle, the battle between the Demon and the Goddess had already commenced.
One was enveloped in a fog of Poison, stirring waves of toxin against her opponent, while the other shimmered in colorful light, having become the true Space-Time Goddess, summoning waves of radiance.
Toxic waves collided with halos, triggering a roaring explosion that seemed like the heavens were collapsing, remaining locked in a deadlock.
Though termed a deadlock, in reality, both toxic gas and colorful light were engaging in fierce conflict.
The toxic gas attempted to corrode the opponent, forcing terrible Poison upon them.
However, the rainbow-like aura was incredibly marvelous, creating ripples of space-time while ceaselessly stopping, even annihilating the toxic gas, causing it to quickly erode away.
“Is that the power of authority manipulating time?”
Using the extraordinary perception of Outer Destiny, Shane glimpsed a little insight.
The space-time ripples were an unstable time stream that chaoticized the time of all things in its path.
This was a terrifying thing.
For instance, if a person fell into such a time stream, their time would be subjected to acceleration, reversal, and removal.
In other words, within less than a second, part of their body would age rapidly and decay, while another part would rejuvenate and revert to a state before birth, becoming void, as though internal organs were severed from time, appearing as if they had never existed.
Such chaotic time distortion ultimately leads to instantaneous collapse and annihilation upon contact with the time stream.
This kind of annihilation far surpasses physical or magical destruction, rendering existence itself indefinable, spiraling into the most chaotic state and subject to the world’s correction.
If such a state occurred, even possessing divine methods wouldn’t aid in restoration.
Thus, it is a touch that guarantees death, contact ensures demise, with absolutely no cure or recovery possible, fundamentally precluding any aid or protection.
If struck by such an attack, unless the Supreme God intervenes, no one can save them.
Including the Demon herself.
Hence, the Poison unleashed by Camina, which even Transcendent level existences cannot ignore, when faced with this terrifying time stream attack, would not only be blocked but rendered ineffective.
If another opponent came forth, even if they blocked Camina’s poison, it would be futile.
Because even if Camina’s poison was blocked, its toxins would seep into the atmosphere, silently and stealthily poisoning the opponent.
The Poison Demon’s toxin is inherently the most frightening thing in this world, visible and invisible, colorless and tasteless, capable of merging into the atmosphere, dissolving in water, and remaining indefensible.
It was due to this that Lilith, after fighting Camina, inevitably got poisoned somewhat, requiring substantial effort to expel it from her body.
In contrast, the Space-Time Goddess need not worry about such issues.
Before the manifest time stream capable of distorting everything, toxic gas has no chance to spread; upon contact, it is immediately eradicated from its generating “cause.”
Even if some unseen toxin took effect, the Goddess within the unstable time stream would remain unaffected. At worst, she could reverse her personal time to a state before being poisoned.
Yet Camina is not easily underestimated.
While her poison may be ineffective against the Space-Time Goddess, it influences not only the entity but everything around.
As long as the toxic gas is spread across every corner, layer upon layer, ceaselessly assailing the opponent, the opponent can only fend it off, consuming physical strength and Magic Power.
This battle is a prolonged war, demanding both time and effort.
Still, Shane could see the raging waves of toxic gas surging and swirling across the sky, rainbow-like time streams flying directionlessly, with both sides ceaselessly colliding in the high air, causing vibrations resembling planets colliding, each explosion shaking the heavens and earth.
If such fierce battle took place on the ground, the Central City would have been long gone.
Even conducted in the high sky, countless buildings in the Central City were shattered and cracked, with the ground trembling frequently, evoking an imminent collapse.
Cloud layers had already been dispersed by the waves of toxic gas and rainbow time streams, and the sky was dominated by the two forces.
Camina and the Space-Time Goddess appeared as if each led an army, one wielding the surging giant waves of Poison, the other manipulating the time stream to endlessly distort everything, a terrifying sight indeed.
Gradually, the screams in the Central City increased, with some toxic gas beginning to spread into the city, causing many people to be poisoned.
“These two madwomen!”
Shane already gripped the Holy Sword, pulling it out valiantly.
Seeing that Central City was about to collapse, Shane said to Lilith in his arms.
“Each take a side and stop them.”
Saying that, Shane released Lilith.
“Got it!”
Lilith instantly unfolded her twelve black wings, an alarming amount of evil energy surged around her, rushing into the air.
Her target was Camina.
No choice.
The authority of the Space-Time Goddess was too dangerous for her, Shane wouldn’t let his little darling take the risk.
Instead, Shane himself used several instances of Instant Movement, leaping up into the air, intervening in the battlefield even faster than Lilith.
“Boom!”
Shane’s whole body ignited with magic power, charging into the rushing time stream that surged like a breached dam.
“Danger!”
The Space-Time Goddess finally noticed Shane’s arrival, watching him charge straight towards the twisted time stream she had conjured, let out an urgent shout.
“What!?”
At the same time, Camina unleashed another tsunami-like wave of poison, directing it at the massive time stream, but due to Shane’s sudden interference, it was headed towards Shane’s back instead.
Shane was caught in a pincer attack.
In front, the terrifying temporal distortion, lethal upon contact, incurable.
Behind, the shockingly toxic tsunami, capable of corroding even transcendence.
At this moment, Shane seemed to be in a desperate situation.
However, he charged into the time stream summoned by the Space-Time Goddess without looking back, like a bullet going against the flow, forging ahead towards the Space-Time Goddess.
The theoretically all-distorting, all-collapsing power had no effect on Shane whatsoever.
“This…!?”
The Space-Time Goddess was stunned.
Meanwhile, Lilith arrived just in time to block Camina’s toxic tsunami.
“Boom!”
Lilith’s body surged with black evil energy, transforming it into another tsunami, blocking Camina’s toxic sea, even pushing it back.
“It’s you!?”
Camina saw what Lilith had done.
But Lilith ignored Camina, her black wings suddenly expanding, then with a sweep, cleaving apart Camina’s sky-covering toxic sea.
“…!”
Camina instinctively wanted to retaliate.
Lilith didn’t give Camina the chance, her black wings fluttered once as she charged upward.
At the same time, Shane broke through the time stream’s impact and reached the Space-Time Goddess.
“Clang!”
The Holy Sword shone brightly, under Shane’s swing, it transformed into a brilliant sword light, slashing at the Space-Time Goddess.
“Wait…!?”
The Space-Time Goddess panicked.
Facing the Holy Sword capable of slaying the Demon King, even though she wasn’t a demon clan, she wouldn’t want to directly face its edge.
If struck, even if it didn’t kill, it would take half her life.
Thus, to protect herself, the Space-Time Goddess instinctively extended her slender hand, merging herself into the ripples of space-time, disappearing.
However, this was of little use.
“Puch!”
The Holy Sword plunged into the space-time ripples, bursting into brilliance.
“Boom!”
The ripples shattered, sending a rainbow-like figure flying out.
“Ugh!”
The Space-Time Goddess let out a cry of sorrow.
“Swish!”
At this moment, Shane used Instant Movement again, appearing behind the Space-Time Goddess, reaching out a hand and capturing her.
“Boing~~~”
An inexplicable sound echoed at this moment.
“Ah!”
The Space-Time Goddess’s cry turned into a scream.
