Child of Destiny

Not only was the audience surprised at the appearance of the Evil God on the battlefield. Even the members of the Empyrean Talons were not expecting him to appear there.

The group could not help but turn at the trio of Arthur, Leonard, and Cloe, who were now looking at the battlefield with full seriousness.

It could also be because they were purposely avoiding the rest of the team, refusing to entertain any questions.

The rest of the Empyrean Talons were aware of Uno’s strange relationship with the team due to their previous encounter with him. But they did not expect him to represent the team in this tournament, especially after that incident where this guy suddenly jumped off the airship and disappeared for quite some time.

Seemingly recalling something, Diablo could not help but ask. “The Vice Commander said earlier that he is going to fetch our representative for this match, right?”

Looking at Uno, who was standing haughtily on the battlefield, he suddenly asked. “What is his relationship with this monstrous guy? Given what he said earlier and the tone he had, it looks like they are quite close.”

Arthur and Leonard had weird expressions on their faces, unable to answer. They were not that sure about the real relationship between Shin and Uno.

Aside from knowing that Uno was Shin’s other personality – an alter ego – they did not know much about anything else.

Even Cloe did not know how to explain this situation, as Shin had only told them about it quite briefly and roughly.

The three kept their silence and just stared at the battlefield, focusing their gazes on Uno.

They were quite curious about this guy that Shin called brother.

…

With the suppression of the overwhelming killing intent that Uno was emitting, Ashura did not dare to lower his guard even for an instant.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

He immediately summoned all his Elemental Spirits, fully activating his possession. He instantly entered his strongest state, preparing for an intense battle.

He knew more than anyone how scary this person was before him, especially when he was the one who was directly being assaulted by the strongest might of the killing intent.

He was even feeling a huge pressure pressing on him just by seeing the opposing party standing in the distance.

From his perspective, Uno looked like an ancient monster that could only be seen in the legends. A beast that lived in the void and abyss, which did not have a specific form.

Facing such a monster, Ashura subconsciously tightened his grip over the [Heavenly Meteor], feeling tense and anxious for the very first time.

Fear – it would not be an exaggeration to say that his body was feeling intense fear right now.

However, he was able to immediately suppress that feeling inside his chest and swiftly gathered his thoughts.

After regaining his composure, a firm expression immediately appeared on his face, staring solemnly at Uno.

He now understood that the three strikes that the latter had said earlier were not a joke.

“Three strikes, huh? Let’s see if I can keep you entertained,” he said as he prepared himself for his attack.

Holding the [Heavenly Meteor] with both of his hands, a starlight ray suddenly fell from the sky, cutting through the curtain that the dense killing intent had created.

A huge hole suddenly appeared in the bloody sky, letting the starlight energy fall on Ashura’s body and creating a pillar of light at the center of the crimson world.

Gathering the starlight and channeling it into the ruler sword, making it blaze with intense stellar fire.

This fire continued to grow until it swallowed the entire pillar that was connected to the crimson sky, making it even wider.

Not waiting for anything, Ashura swung the ruler sword down, almost splitting the crimson sky and annihilating everything on its path.

‘Mystic Cosmic Method: Star Fantasy Formation – Call of the Stellar Fire’

Not long after, a group of stars suddenly appeared in the crimson sky one after another, aligning themselves with one another and coinciding with the blazing pillar that connected the [Heavenly Meteor] and the heavens.

Swoosh!

While the giant sword pillar fell from the sky, the stars that it contained started falling one after another like a meteor shower.

Seeing the huge starlight pillar and the meteor shower that was coming alongside it, Uno smirked. “You do have some tricks.”

“Unfortunately, it is not enough,” he added as he watched the stars fall from the sky, forming a sword formation and threatening to annihilate the world.

Not long after, the surroundings suddenly changed.

A huge amount of his killing intent seemed to have gathered around him and formed a pair of wings of death.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Such a manipulation of killing intent was a highly advanced technique that made the godly experts watching the match wear serious expressions on their faces, particularly those with high attainments in Martial Arts and Mentalism in the real world.

To be able to manipulate the killing intent and materialize a pair of crimson wings visible to the naked eye was more than enough to tell everyone how high the attainments of this person were in the real world.

Even some top assassins might not be able to match him in this area.

If only there were people at the Void Manifestation Stage, Rulers Realm, and Swordmasters in the game right now, then they would be able to explain it to everyone more clearly. They would be able to tell everyone what such a manipulation of killing intent stood for.

Uno stared at the falling stellar sword for quite a while, seemingly waiting for it to descend further.

Not long after, his cloak suddenly flapped alongside the wind.

The spectators could not see it that clearly, especially when the overwhelming killing intent filling the entire arena somewhat obstructed their minds. But they could still feel some gentle breeze coming from Uno.

Those with slightly keener senses and sharper eyes could somewhat get a glimpse of Uno’s arm ‘disappearing’ for a moment, which produced that breeze.

Ashura, on the other hand, could not believe what he had just seen. Given that he was directly on the field alongside Uno, he could at least see what had just happened more clearly than anyone else.

Adding that his eyes never left Uno even for a second, along with his fully active ocular skill, what he just saw truly shocked him.

He did not know how many times it was exactly, but he felt that Uno had unleashed at least over a hundred strikes in a mere second.

Moreover, each strike should be so powerful that it sends shivers down his spine.

Such speed and power were more than enough to tell him about the gap between this person and any other Godlike Players and Maverick Gods out there.

Seeing that Uno had even accurately sheathed his swords despite how fast and powerful his strikes were, Ashura understood that simple tricks were not enough for this match.

The sword technique that he used for this first strike was one of the strongest in his arsenal, yet he felt that it was nothing but fancy tricks before this person.

BOOM!

While he was lost in his thoughts, the space around Uno seemed to have finally ‘realized’ the strikes that this guy had thrown just now.

The thunderous sound had woken up everyone, signifying how powerful the accumulated force was that had just been released by the overlapping strikes just now.

Crack! Crack!

Even the space seemed to have collapsed, forming a series of spatial fractures that spread in every direction.

Boom!

In the sky, the descending starlight sword had also collapsed in an instant when the spatial fractures came into contact with it.

“That’s one!” said Uno with an indifferent tone, seemingly provoking the other party.

Ashura then gritted his teeth as he immediately enhanced his current state further.

‘Racial Battle Physique (Seraphim): God’s Servant’

‘Racial Berserk Skill (Seraphim): Divine Awakening – Immortal Divinity’

Despite activating his most powerful buffs, Ashura felt that it was still not enough, so he immediately followed it with his domain skill.

‘Sacred Keeper Skill (Tier 2): (Enhanced) God’s Territory’

But this still did not reassure him, so he immediately summoned a giant golden immortal from the heavens and fused with it immediately after.

‘Sacred Keeper Special Skill: (Exclusive) Immoral Calling’

Right after fusing, Ashra immediately proceeded with his next attack, which was composed of three powerful strikes.

The Golden Immortal seemed to have merged with the world when it threw its massive glaives. Each of these strikes was stronger than the other, seemingly carrying the momentum of the previous one to further enhance itself.

‘Sacred Keeper Skill (Tier 3): (Modified) World Domination – First Destruction’

‘Sacred Keeper Skill (Tier 3): (Modified) World Domination – Second Annihilation’

‘Sacred Keeper Skill (Tier 3): (Modified) World Domination – Third Cataclysm’

Not long after, each of the strikes overlapped with one another. It then formed a much stronger strike that seemed to be capable of annihilating the entire world.

‘Imperial Family Secret Art: Killing Move – Worldly Apocalypse’

It transformed it into a whole different skill – a very advanced Martial Arts Skill from the real world.

Boom!

Given the power of this strike, Ashura most likely was not planning to let this little ‘game’ arrive at the third strike, as he seemed to be already giving his all with this particular strike.
