Chapter 1064: Chapter 1064: A Name That Doesn’t Match Its Rank

The trembling soul and body both grew stronger.

Lin Yi’s slash couldn’t significantly impact the tremble with its overwhelming power, but he knows very well how much this strike would affect his subordinates.

The soul’s essence was greatly weakened, the body corroded by the power of annihilation; by the time the soul and body reunite, they will be heavily injured. At that point, let alone chasing Lin Yi and Mr. Gongsu, taking care of themselves would already be quite impressive.

As for Mr. Gongsu, Tremble has always considered him a moderate output powerful individual, even if standing still, letting him attack, he couldn’t deliver much damage.

As the saying goes, people’s prejudices are like a towering mountain.

Mr. Gongsu, having experienced far more than Tremble, never cared how others discussed him.

From beginning to end, all he ever thought about was how to lead the members of the Dark Rising Organization higher and further to realize the original dream. Since becoming one of the Seven Heroes, Tremble has always pondered over how he could become the strongest. His ambition was much heavier compared to others.

Thus, during internal competitions among the Seven Heroes, Tremble was always quite serious.

He never considered that these veterans, famous long before him, were holding back in their duels against him.

Take the Dragon Queen, for instance; she was the former Dragon God, with a physical strength countless times greater than an ordinary person. How could such an opponent be easily defeated by him in a duel?

”Tremble, bearing a title of the strongest doesn’t mean you are the mightiest in all of Dark Rising; not now, and likely not in the future.”

Tremble is particularly sensitive about rankings.

After hearing Mr. Gongsu’s comments, Tremble’s attention, which was entirely focused on Lin Yi, shifted completely back to Mr. Gongsu.

”You damn old man, what did you say? I’m not the strongest? Joking, I’ve sat at the top of Dark Rising’s strength for so long, and everyone in the Dark Rising Organization, including all gods, knows I am its strongest combat power. If you claim I’m not the strongest, then who is?!”

Indeed, when it comes to matters of strength, Tremble, with his profound obsession, couldn’t remain calm.

Mr. Gongsu didn’t answer his question, merely focused on gathering his divine power.

Vast divine power gathered visibly behind Mr. Gongsu, gradually manifesting.

A transparent framework began to appear. As the divine power enveloped it, the shape of the technique was fully revealed.

It was a heavy cannon with a caliber about ten meters wide, exuding a cybernetic aura. The glowing orange-red light at the barrel’s tip twisted the surrounding space intolerably.

The dim glow, akin to a volcano on the verge of eruption, inspired thoughts of the terrifying might soon to burst forth just at a glance.

Gongsu De, indeed, harbored unfathomable depths!

Lin Yi used his Eye of All-Seeing to peer into the mouth of the cyber cannon. Though unable to gauge the specific damage, the Eye of All-Seeing informed Lin Yi that this might was beyond his endurance.

If that terrifying cannon were to strike, he’d likely be reduced to ashes.

This usually assist-focused guy turned out to be so complex. Lin Yi couldn’t help but admire him from the bottom of his heart. Only someone like Gongsu De, who can conceal his edge, could end up smiling last.

Watching that cyber cannon aimed at his body, Tremble couldn’t stop shivering, whether out of fear or rage.

”Gongsu De, you damn old man, how dare you look down on me like this! You’re courting death!”

As fellow Seven Heroes, they didn’t spar often, but certainly it happened.

Tremble remembered how, during their fights, Gongsu De would repeatedly express that he wasn’t Tremble’s match, the reason being his attacks couldn’t breach Tremble’s defense.

Back then, Tremble never perceived Mr. Gongsu’s restraint, naively believing Mr. Gongsu’s words without any doubt.

In retrospect, Mr. Gongsu simply didn’t think much of him, never considered him a threat, and was not keen on competing for the top title, hence he never truly exerted himself.

For Tremble, this was an immense insult.

”Boy, you’re still young. It’s understandable for young people to be hot-headed, but wanting to kill your former comrades based solely on baseless speculation, this old man can’t comprehend.”

”Did you truly think this old man squabbled with you young ones so, scheming all the time? I left the Dark Rising because your faction, ignorant and arrogant, showed me no future for Dark Rising. Do you truly think this old man, once stated he left, would reemerge to influence your prestige? You’re so pitiful, so insecure.”

Lies won’t harm, truth is a sharp knife.

Mr. Gongsu’s words, like a sharp sword, pierced straight into Tremble’s chest.

Initially, Tremble was very confident.

After experiencing several failures, Tremble began doubting his own abilities.

Why was he so desperate to achieve merits and establish renown, if not to prove his capabilities and value through it?

Innate absolute confidence had long eroded in battles against the Four Great Corpse Kings.

The aspect of himself he least wished to face, the side known by none, was exposed, and Tremble’s mental defenses crumbled instantly.

”Damn Mr. Gongsu, I will kill you!”

Anger burgeoned within Tremble, granting him surprisingly great strength. Within two and a half seconds, he managed to reunite his soul with his body, regaining physical control.

Tremble’s sudden outburst slightly surprised both Lin Yi and Gongsu De, though thankfully not significantly problematic.

The cybernetic-style cannon had completed its charge before Tremble’s soul reclaimed his body and successfully fired.

The giant cannon’s roar was deafening, the crimson light illuminating the sky completely engulfed Planet 478, the terrifying heat melting all exposed rare metals into liquids of various hues.

Holy crap, this old man is awesome!

While Lin Yi exclaimed in awe, he unfurled his Divine Power Shield around himself.

As for Tremble, he wasn’t so fortunate.

Just having regained control over his body, the spitting Divine Power Compression Cannon already reached his chest.

He didn’t even have the chance to shield his entire body with divine power, and was utterly devoured by the orange-red energy.

Observing the surroundings soaked in endless orange-red, feeling the scorching temperature around, Lin Yi internally marveled at how powerful a top divine power level deity truly was.

Gongsu De even specially controlled the direction of the divine power output, ensuring Lin Yi received almost no damage from his skill. Still, Lin Yi could feel the terrifying might emanating from Gongsu De, truly yielding to the prowess of top-rank upper gods.
