Chapter 204: The Source of the Killing Intent!
The source of the murderous intent remained elusive, despite Im's best efforts.
It seems to be everywhere, yet it leaves no trace.
But they've been targeted.
I could die at any moment.
But they couldn't find the location of the killing intent.
The feeling of being out of control ignited my frustration.
I am the god of this world, the king who sets the rules of this world!
How could it be that even a mere trace of killing intent couldn't be located?
That man…that damned man! What methods did he use?
For eight hundred years, everything has been under our control.
Now, he sits on the Void Throne, but has become the prey of a mysterious figure.
The unease brought about by the unknown crisis
This restless unease ignited a deep-seated pain within his soul.
Suddenly, Im opened his eyes wide.
His pupils, filled with endless darkness, and his head, stiffly raised, were fixed on the void directly above the hall.
Right there.
The space that had always remained unchanged suddenly became distorted.
Invisible ripples spread out quietly.
No sound.
Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black crack was torn open by an invisible and domineering force without making any sound or energy fluctuations!
A fist-sized, extremely refined pure golden energy ball slowly emerged from the dark crack, carrying an overwhelming and suffocating sense of pressure.
The moment the energy sphere appeared, the light in the entire dimly lit hall was completely swallowed up.
It is the source of light, yet it is devouring light.
Then, a sacred aura emanated from the small golden sphere. This aura was so domineering that even the already dwindling dark essence within him instinctively felt fear and dread!
"!!!"
Im's pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints.
He didn't need to analyze or think; his fighting instincts as the king of the world were frantically warning him!
This seemingly unremarkable golden energy ball contains enough energy to completely and cleanly wipe the entire city of Pangaea, along with the sacred site of Mary Geoise beneath it, from the face of the earth! Not even a speck of dust would remain!
Is this the "parting gift" that man spoke of?!
That bastard! How dare he? How could he do that?!
There was no time to think, nor was he allowed to think!
Im's soul is roaring!
He understood instantly!
The powerful killing intent I had just sensed!
It was this energy ball, which transcended space and time and appeared with unparalleled precision above his own palace, that was the man's true killing move!
That damn guy, he's outsmarted me time and time again!
Ignoring the excruciating pain deep within his body, Im immediately sought to unleash his supreme power as the King of the World!
He's going to warp space!
He's going to banish this damned bomb! He's going to detonate it in the endless void, far removed from this world!
However, the instant his mind stirred—
"Ughh ...
The moment he made a thought, the backlash from his forced descent into the Valley of the Gods, like a peerless assassin seizing the perfect opportunity, transformed into ten thousand red-hot steel needles, piercing once again into the very core of his soul!
Damn it, why is the backlash coming at this time!
Excruciating pain!
The indescribable pain caused Im's will to freeze for a fatal moment, less than 0.01 seconds!
For ordinary people, this 0.01 second is nothing more than a blink of an eye.
However, when masters clash, life and death can be decided in an instant.
It's that 0.01 second delay!
That pure golden energy ball had completely broken free from the spatial rift and was floating like a king beneath the dome of the hall!
Something even more terrifying happened!
It started to expand!
It began a rapid and irrational expansion at a speed that completely defied all the laws of physics!
Om-!
In just a moment, it swelled from the size of a fist to the size of a millstone!
In just one or two breaths, it transformed from an inconspicuous ball of energy into a small, nascent sun that hung in the heart of Pangu City, radiating endless light and heat!
Moreover, the golden light finally stopped being restrained and burst forth like a flood breaking through a dam, illuminating the entire dark hall as if it were daytime!
What's even more terrifying is that Im can sense the energy structure inside the energy sphere. Because of this crazy expansion, it has become extremely unstable, as if it's about to explode completely at any moment!
Finished!
Im's heart sank into an abyss.
That man!
That damn man in the white mask!
He instantly realized that he had completely missed the best opportunity to deal with the situation.
Now, he has been forced into an absolute dead end.
He could either immediately abandon this body and escape into the void, but the price would be that the entire Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the power center he had cultivated for eight hundred years, along with the unconscious Five Elders and the Knights of God below, would all be reduced to nothing in this explosion!
Or...
He, the supreme ruler of the world, who had ruled this world for eight hundred years, was actually forced into a dead end by some unknown person in his own territory, in his safest and most core area, in such a mocking and humiliating way!
Escape?
He could escape! With his abilities, he could easily tear through space and leave before the explosion!
But what's the cost?
The price is that Pangaea, the city that symbolizes the world government's eight-hundred-year rule, along with its countless secrets and resources accumulated over the years, will be reduced to cosmic dust in this explosion!
He, the king of this world, will become a complete and utterly defeated dog who can't even protect his own lair!
Not escape?
Should we tough it out?
How could someone in this severely injured, dying, and depleted state possibly withstand a "sun" powerful enough to flatten the red earth continent?
That's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—it's suicidal!
boom--!!!
The energy sphere seemed to have reached its limit in its expansion!
Its blazing white surface began to emit a destructive light! A terrifying energy storm had already formed inside the hall, even causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the walls that were engraved with ancient runes and were otherwise indestructible!
The entire city of Pangu seemed to tremble!
Just before the light erupted completely and engulfed everything—
"Aa ...
A roar, a mixture of rage, horror, humiliation, and endless resentment, exploded from the Void Throne!
That being the case...
Then there's only one option...
Im's illusory figure began to twist violently and frantically, the dark energy and the remaining will intertwined, as if making a life-or-death, final choice!
He, the king of the world, was forced to the brink of despair!
A choice must be made!
