Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1546: The Summoner
Previously on Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies...
Kami-musubi-no-Kami and the Three Great Ghost Kings joined forces, launching a frenzied assault against Zhang Yi and Huahua.
Just as Zhang Yi had seen through.
His ability was summoning!
With his own willpower, he could summon the legendary Hundred Demons, so by himself he was effectively an entire monstrous army of yokai!
But in a one-on-one combat context, he was facing Zhang Yi, a monster.
Manifold Phenomena’s ability mechanics meant any attack below the piercing threshold could be reflected back!
Therefore, even if four Epsilon-class fighters besieged him, as long as the Three Great Ghost Kings couldn’t threaten Zhang Yi’s strength, their assault wouldn’t mean much.
Facing Kami-musubi-no-Kami’s magatama assault, Zhang Yi had already adapted to its intensity.
Even if the other side possessed an ability index of 25,000 or more, their direct striking power still wasn’t enough to shatter Zhang Yi’s Manifold Phenomena, which excelled in defense at 22,000 ability index!
Thus, Zhang Yi could not only block their attacks, he could counterattack!Great Tengu summoned an even more violent thundercloud storm, Canine God’s energy cannon was charging, and alongside Kami-musubi-no-Kami, the three launched an overwhelmingly powerful offensive from different directions!
Boom!!!!
Three massive energies converged, Edo City rocked, and large swaths of buildings were directly torn apart by the storm.
Once deprived of its guardians, the sprawling metropolis was nothing more than a forest of reinforced concrete!
Thunder and wind churned in the sky, dark energy sweeping everything away.
But when the dust settled, Zhang Yi and Huahua still hovered steadily in midair.
Three thousand Dimensional Gates around them stood immovable as a mountain, withstanding the combined assault!
“My threshold is still far from being reached!”
After blocking the new round of attacks, Zhang Yi chose to go on the offensive.
He extended two fingers on his right hand, and a massive void vortex appeared behind him, terrifying void energy coalescing at his fingertips, forming a pitch-dark orb.
Condensed Void.
Zhang Yi’s powerful offensive techniques fell into two categories.
Void-energy assaults, and space-manipulation strangling attacks.
In the past he hadn’t had a particularly strong long-range attack, and he had been trying to compensate for that weakness.
He finally devised a new move—the Star-Piercing Cannon!
By compressing void energy to the extreme, he could instantly pierce targets at ultra-long range while minimizing mid-flight energy loss, avoiding waste from wide-area strikes.
Simple and unadorned, but extremely effective.
“Star-Piercing Cannon!”
When the energy at his fingertips was about to explode, Zhang Yi suddenly aimed it at Kami-musubi-no-Kami in the sky and released it!
Void force traced a spatially designated trajectory and, in an instant, pierced toward the black-robed Neon legend!
Its speed exceeded what the naked eye could track!
Kami-musubi-no-Kami reacted extremely fast as well; at the moment the crisis arrived before him, he raised his scepter in front of him.
A massive barrier blossomed into being.
“Boom!!!”
The Star-Piercing Cannon slammed into the barrier, void energy rampaging and spreading!
The thin shield desperately held, trembling and unstable. With the barrier as the dividing line, the space above Edo City was split into two worlds!
It felt as if the realm behind Kami-musubi-no-Kami could be swallowed by void force at any moment.
Not far away, the Three Great Ghost Kings were actually blasted away by the Cannon’s residual shockwave, sent flying like garbage bags!
Among the three, the strongest, Nukekubi, barely reached around 16,000 ability index. Their strengths were mainly single-target strikes relying on surprise ambushes, not suited for this style of ability-based offense and defense.
Their power gap with Zhang Yi reached six to nine thousand points.
If Kami-musubi-no-Kami hadn’t been drawing Zhang Yi’s main fire, Zhang Yi could have killed them outright!
It wasn’t that they were particularly weak, but their ability attributes simply couldn’t pose a significant threat to Zhang Yi.
Conversely, a beast like Xuanwu with invulnerable defense would give Zhang Yi headaches.
For most people, ability index merely represented the strength level, not absolute combat prowess.
But for Zhang Yi—it tended to underestimate his true fighting capability. Because Zhang Yi had almost no glaring weaknesses, he left no openings for others to exploit.
Kami-musubi-no-Kami spent considerable energy blocking Zhang Yi’s attack.
After all, a great deal of his power was tied up sustaining the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
He now frowned deeply, disbelief written across his expression.
He could hardly imagine being pushed into such desperation by a sixth-generation being!
Remember, he was one of the Angels! Someone like Zhang Yi should have been a humble ant before him!
After the apocalypse, restricted to Neon, he could never have imagined that on the land inhabited by the Dragon Nation, humans had grown so powerful!
At the same time, Zhang Yi felt somewhat surprised as well.
His strongest concentrated blow had failed to pierce the opponent’s defense!
“Looks like this will turn into a war of attrition!”
Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes.
Yang Xinxin’s voice came from Shadow Space.
“Brother, we can’t win this battle in a short time. But the longer we hold out, the more the scales of victory will tip in our favor!”
Zhang Yi asked curiously, “Oh? Xinxin, what did you see?”
Yang Xinxin said, “The revival of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons consumes Kami-musubi-no-Kami’s energy. So he needs to both deal with you and Huahua’s attacks while sustaining the enormous demon array!”
“As long as Teacher Liang and the others eliminate the ghosts below, Kami-musubi-no-Kami’s power will also be weakened.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yi thought Yang Xinxin made a very reasonable point.
“If it becomes a war of attrition, I am not afraid!”
Facing one against four, he couldn’t win quickly, but his formidable combined offense-and-defense forced Kami-musubi-no-Kami into a difficult siege.
Terrifying energy filled the skies, and for a time neither side could secure a swift victory.
On the ground, the battle looked even more horrific.
Various ghosts, now manifesting in true bodies and far more ferocious than their previous ethereal forms, launched violent assaults against Liang Yue and the others!
“Huff—”
Among the horde, a gigantic cat yokai with two tails and black vertical-pupil markings on its head leapt into the air, spewing a volley of giant fireballs, each over a hundred meters across, at Liang Yue and the others like a multi-barrel cannon!
This was Neon’s legendary Nekomata.
A massive wheel-like being with a human face, burning like a fiery chariot—the Wheel-Entering-Way thundered, becoming a war vehicle and directly rammed toward Uncle Yu!
