Chapter 913: Kabooom
Had any of the four overgods attacked Han Shuo just decades earlier, he would have died without a doubt. But the Han Shuo now was a force to be reckoned with. The Hegemons of the Death, Darkness, and Destruction Dominions as well as a former Sovereign, Salas, must join forces just to get a shot at killing him.
“There’s no escape this time, Bryan!” shouted Salas.
As Han Shuo had deployed Demonic Blood Disassembly to escape from the City of Gorging Clouds just weeks earlier, he was not at his tip-top condition and cannot fight at peak performance. While sensing the mighty auras the four overgods emanated, Han Shuo accepted that he would have to fight a battle lopsided against him.
Although Han Shuo could activate Demonic Blood Disassembly and escape from the Misty Sea, using this escape technique again when such little time had passed would come with serious repercussions.
If Han Shuo were to use the Demonic Blood Disassembly to escape from this ambush, his demonic body will suffer injuries that he must take a much, much longer time to recover. This will mean that he won’t be at his peak condition after returning to the Fringe, putting himself under a risk he cannot accept given how treacherous Sovereigns like Tyre and Logue were.
Han Shuo wore a dark face as he sensed the four menacing auras while racking his brain for an escape plan.
“The four of us had prepared for this moment for a long time. Now that you are inside our trap, you can forget about leaving!” said the colossal figure as he stared down at Han Shuo with his green eyes. Using the energy of destruction, he formed an enormous energy field around him and used it to alter the properties of the seawater, preventing Han Shuo from escaping by diving into the ocean.
“What a shame, he could have been an excellent servant,” remarked the masked overgod sitting on a white bone throne. He started approaching Han Shuo slowly and the white bones that made his throne started glowing with a milky white halo. The grayish aura of death from the environment started gathering towards him. The other three overgods immediately started moving with great rapport.
The four overgods slowly closed in on Han Shuo. The energies of death, darkness, destruction, and lightning slowly accumulated and flooded the Misty Sea. They unfolded their domains of divinity, causing the region to be devoid of all other elements. Four violent energies began compressing Han Shuo from the zenith, nadir, forward, and aft.
“Oh no!” cried the hovering dark figure as colossal as a mountain. Orbs of Destruction suddenly emerged from him and shot at Han Shuo. It was as though pearly droplets were raining down on Han Shuo. They came in large numbers and in dense swarms, not allowing Han Shuo to dodge them.
Han Shuo’s avatar of destruction also knew how to create Orbs of Destruction and he understood that it was made by coagulating the divine energy of destruction. Those small Orbs, despite their size, were extremely powerful and deadly. Han Shuo’s face slightly jolted when he saw those Orbs of Destruction pouring down on him like raindrops.
With one thought, he sent out the Pearls of Annihilation he produced and sent them colliding into those Orbs of Destruction. A strand of his consciousness then activated the blood essences within those Pearls, which caused the Orbs of Destruction to violently explode.
The first wave of explosions seemed to have triggered a chain reaction and the remaining Orbs of Destruction exploded. A series of long, world-shaking, eardrum-rupturing explosions sounded from the sky.
While producing the Pearls of Annihilation, Han Shuo had a novel idea and added a strand of his destruction divine energy into those Pearls. The idea was to simultaneously ignite his Pearls of Annihilation with his Orbs of Destruction to create the maximum firepower.
Han Shuo had been wanting to test out the firepower but he did not expect that instead of doing so with his own Orbs of Destruction, he would first do so on the Godhunter Alliance Hegemon’s.
As the remaining Orbs exploded, it seemed to have destabilized the lightning energy barrier that Salas deployed. With that, the lightning energies also started exploding. The noise grew from eardrum-rupturing to lung-collapsing.
The explosions lasted for a long, long while. When it finally stopped, the thick, dense mist above the Misty Sea was dissipating and the garish sunlight managed to pierce through the atmosphere for the first time in eons.
“Salas’ barrier got destroyed! Dhaka, what the hell is wrong with you?!” shouted the person on the white bone throne furiously.
“The fuck would I know!” cried the colossal figure.
“Dhaka, so your name is Dhaka!” said Han Shuo before he suddenly laughed out loud. After the mist dissipated, the blinding sunlight was allowed to fall onto the enormous hallucination, causing it to vanish and reveal an old man.
The old man had winter-white hair and a wizened, heavily lined face but his eyes were piercing and gleaming with life.
After having a good laugh, under the gaudy sun, Han Shuo’s figure blurred and suddenly fissioned into a dozen Han Shuos. They simultaneously escaped in twelve directions.
After Salas’ barrier was destroyed, Han Shuo was no longer trapped. He quickly flew out and made an escape without hesitation.
The four overgods were confused when they discovered that the dozen of Han Shuos were all indistinguishable from the real Han Shuo. As they could not tell which of the Han Shuos were hallucinations, they had no choice but to split up and randomly went after one of the escaping Han Shuos.
And after they pursued and killed the ‘Han Shuos’, they found all remaining Han Shuos had disappeared without a trace. He had vanished from the senses of their divine souls.
