Moloch agreed to a final battle with Xiyue, but Lin Yi interrupted the proceedings with a holographic call from the Blue Star Professional Alliance. The alliance, led by Kesh, requested Lin Yi and Xiyue's help against a fire monster, offering Lin Yi the title of Blue Star's first War God. Lin Yi refused the title for himself, insisting Xiyue should receive it instead, which the alliance readily accepted. With Lin Yi secretly transferring power to Xiyue, their battle against Moloch began, and Xiyue, now empowered, launched a surprise attack.
A force against which Moloch possessed no defense whatsoever descended upon his head, causing him to lose his footing instantaneously. A searing pain ripped through the back of his skull, and moments after being airborne, Moloch plummeted into the snowy expanses of Maoxiong like an uprooted onion.
The broadcasting media struggled to keep pace with Xiyue’s swift actions. By the time the cameras re-focused on her, she had already retreated with effortless grace. A sense of disbelief washed over her. She was aware of Lin Yi’s formidable strength, yet only when wielding it herself did she comprehend the sheer terrifying caliber of her beloved. The displayed skill panel presented an overwhelming cascade of choices, leaving even Xiyue momentarily stunned. Many citizens of Blue Star, glued to the broadcast, witnessed this spectacle and silently purged the scathing remarks they had composed but not yet dispatched. The live broadcast, headlined with 'Xia’s War God Xiyue’s Debut,' ignited an uncontainable fervor within the populace of Xia. An overwhelming surge of national pride swept through them. The formidable monster that the Professional Alliance of the entire Blue Star could not withstand, a Xia professional could face alone! What greater testament to Xia’s might could there be?
Moloch, caught in the crossfire, was bewildered. The instant Xiyue made her move, he not only detected immediate peril but also realized her power was utterly beyond his comprehension. How could such an impossibility exist in this world? He recalled that mere moments ago, when clashing with Xiyue, he had to meticulously calculate every strike. Yet, in this incredibly brief span, she had undergone a complete transformation, unleashing such devastating power.
"You… you?" Moloch’s voice wavered slightly as he pointed at Xiyue. Xiyue’s breathing remained unruffled, a clear indication that her prior strike had not demanded her full exertion. The colossal chasm in their abilities caused Moloch to falter. Should he press on with the fight? If he were to flee right now, would Lin Yi intervene?
"Are you quite certain you're here to acquire skills from me?" It was then that Moloch grasped the reality: Lin Yi had likely orchestrated a deception. What was intended as a significant final confrontation now presented itself as an existential threat.
"You…" Moloch had initially intended to parley with Xiyue, perhaps offering half his divine power or feigning defeat to grant her prestige as the preeminent warrior of Parallel Blue Star. Before this proposal could be voiced, Xiyue vanished from her spot.
With his heightened senses, Moloch instantly ascertained Xiyue’s new position. However, he could not fathom how she had appeared behind him. Despite not being a top-tier high-ranking god, he was indeed a true deity, his perceptive capabilities honed to their peak, making it impossible for him to miss any movement in his rear.
Could it be!
She, too, possesses Lin Yi’s skills!
Recalling prior events, Moloch suddenly remembered Lin Yi once dispatching a contingent of War Gods from the Parallel Beautiful Country directly towards him. But how could that be possible?
Stunned, Moloch continued his evasive measures, channeling divine power into his right arm and launching a potent elbow strike toward Xiyue’s head. "Heh, the fellow finally senses something is amiss, but it’s far too late now." Lin Yi, observing from his vantage point, offered a rueful smile, pitying Moloch’s impending doom. To resort to divine power against Xiyue, how desperate must he be? Simultaneously, he marveled at Xiyue’s astonishing adaptability. Having just acquired Lin Yi’s skills, she had integrated them seamlessly. Furthermore, she swiftly grasped how the spatial-attribute skill [Heaven and Earth Transformation Mirror] could be synergistically employed with [Intertwining Light and Shadow].
As Moloch’s elbow hovered a mere millimeter from Xiyue’s face, the [Intertwining Light and Shadow] skill was once again executed to its absolute limit, instantaneously creating a distance of several kilometers between her and Moloch.
Precisely! With his suspicion confirmed, Moloch’s confidence surged. Having seen through Xiyue’s capabilities, a sense of security washed over him. Empowered by this newfound assurance, he commenced chanting his incantation, unfurling a pair of Fiery Wings from his back. Concurrently, a portal tore open in the space behind Moloch. The instant this rift appeared, an intense wave of heat erupted forth, instantly obliterating the age-old ice and snow in Maoxiong.
The entire sequence unfolded with seamless fluidity, the incantation period lasting less than two seconds. Just as his skill was poised to unleash its power, a potent energy surge emanated from the distant skies, tens of kilometers above. When the Power of the Primordial was infused into the Tier Eight Mechanical Skills, even a god like Moloch could not disregard the sheer destructive force. Under the amplification of the Primordial Chaos Multi-Cast Passive, nine Tier Eight Mechanical Skills coalesced into a single devastating blow. The destructive potential of this attack surpassed Moloch’s wildest estimations. However, Moloch found himself perplexed by the alarmingly imprecise trajectory of the skill’s descent from the heavens. Could it be that due to the extreme distance of the launch point, Xiyue had miscalculated the coordinates?
From Xiyue, an even more colossal Source Power suddenly spewed forth.
Could this be a Forbidden Curse?!
Moloch remained unfazed by such a thing.
At his current level, Forbidden Curses posed absolutely no threat.
However, there were three points that Moloch simply couldn't fathom.
Firstly, even with his divine-level power, Moloch couldn't instantly cast high-level skills. He required a full two seconds, yet still hadn't completed the spell chanting or locked Xiyue as a target.
Yet, Xiyue could instantly cast a Forbidden Curse?!
It was undeniable that only a short while ago, a significant disparity existed between Xiyue and himself. Although he hadn't spent much time battling the Parallel Blue Star group, could Xiyue truly have undergone such a fundamental transformation in this brief period??
Secondly, all skills come with cooldowns. While Xiyue using the [Intertwining Light and Shadow] skill multiple times wasn't entirely unusual, given this world's abundance of multi-segment skills, what truly left Moloch in disbelief was Xiyue's continuous, successive casting of instant-cast Forbidden Curses, eleven times in a row.
Was she aiming for the heavens?
Lastly, the accuracy of the Forbidden Curse Xiyue unleashed was remarkably low. It was understandable for a skill descending from the sky to miss due to immense distance.
But what was the meaning behind this current Forbidden Curse Xiyue had cast? The direct distance between them was less than 500 meters; how could she miss from such close range? Moloch genuinely struggled to accept it.
A total of fifty-four square nuclear explosive bombs materialized instantly five kilometers to Moloch's right, converging towards a central point and stacking into a cubic formation.
Before Xiyue, a colossal cyber cannon also appeared, its barrel aimed directly at the dozens of square nuclear bombs.
Impossible! How could her skill possess such inaccuracy? Could it be that she could still utilize teleportation skills? How many segments could such an exaggerated teleportation skill even possess? Moloch mused.
Suddenly, a realization dawned upon Moloch regarding Xiyue's true objective.
