Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1550: True Absolute Defense
Previously on Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies...
At the distant edge of the city, Canero seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger.
The black sniper rifle let out a deafening roar, and a black beam pierced through the void, arriving at Kami-musubi-no-Kami's temple in an instant!
Kami-musubi-no-Kami had been on guard against this very shot all along, and he immediately raised the scepter in his right hand to block in front of him.
"Bang!!"
One shot fired, and even a ring on the scepter was shattered!
The immense force caused Kami-musubi-no-Kami's body to sway slightly.
Looking at the broken ring on the scepter in his hand, he finally realized at this moment that Canero's attacks were specifically designed to counter defensive artifacts.
But down below, Zhang Yi's Dimensional Gates shattered once again in response, more than a dozen of them breaking apart.
"Even with Canero providing support from the side, his firepower can still breach the threshold of my Dimensional Gates. Interesting. This is truly too interesting!"
Zhang Yi ground his teeth. Perhaps it was the crisis looming so close at hand that made his mind even calmer."Keep going!"
Unable to use Spatial Shifting at the moment, he simply stood his ground, ready to wage a final showdown with Kami-musubi-no-Kami!
Canero said helplessly to Zhang Yi, "If you lose, I'll request headquarters to launch the Love of Death!"
"That ruthless, huh?"
Zhang Yi laughed.
"You don't understand."
Canero took a deep breath. "There are two more beings like him!"
Zhang Yi had never seen the Three Pillar Gods with his own eyes, but Canero had known of their existence a year ago.
That was also why the Colombia headquarters had no choice but to intervene.
If a single Kami-musubi-no-Kami possessed such terrifying power, then if all Three Pillar Gods were to strike together one day, the entire Colombia Ocean Fleet would be effortlessly annihilated by them.
But after hearing those words, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Zhang Yi's mind.
"So there are three of them, huh?"
"Yeah. Feeling the pressure now?"
Canero said.
"No."
Zhang Yi shook his head.
"Quite the opposite, I feel incredibly relieved!"
A smile actually appeared on his face, the kind of elation one feels upon seeing hope.
Canero was stunned for a moment, then continued aiming at Kami-musubi-no-Kami while inwardly complaining: This guy must be out of his mind!
Kami-musubi-no-Kami temporarily set Canero aside. Once he eliminated Zhang Yi, dealing with that long-range sniper Transcendent would be much easier.
Still, Canero's presence reduced the power of his attacks by thirty percent, which bought Zhang Yi precious time.
He swung his scepter, unleashing wave after wave of attacks like an incoming tide, continuously eroding Zhang Yi's dimensional space!
Zhang Yi and Huahua fought together with all their might, resisting that force.
However, Kami-musubi-no-Kami's power at this moment was simply too overwhelming. Even with three Epsilon-class Transcendents working together, they could only slow down the rate at which his Dimensional Gates were being breached.
"Crash-"
Another dozen or so Dimensional Gates were shattered. Half of Zhang Yi's gates had already been destroyed!
At this rate, he wouldn't last even half a minute!
But Zhang Yi's eyes scanned the surroundings, as if searching for something.
"What exactly is that thing? The existence they fear."
From Kami-musubi-no-Kami's attacks, Zhang Yi could sense that he was racing against time.
Gone was the calm and composure from the beginning.
Kami-musubi-no-Kami's attacks came down like an endless torrential storm, and Zhang Yi's Dimensional Gates shattered one after another, breaking apart layer by layer like fragile glass.
In less than three seconds, more than two thousand of the three thousand Dimensional Gates had already been destroyed!
If this continued, Zhang Yi's spatial abilities would be completely crippled!
"I can't let you destroy me entirely. At the very least... I need to keep an ace up my sleeve!"
Zhang Yi looked up at the sky, and a strange smile suddenly crept onto his lips.
"I've held the title of Absolute Defense for a long time now. There's no such thing as a truly unbreakable defense in this world. Others giving me that title was merely symbolic."
"But no one knows that I do possess a truly impenetrable defense."
Just as Kami-musubi-no-Kami swung his scepter once more, ready to shatter Zhang Yi's Dimensional Gates, Zhang Yi suddenly retracted the gates surrounding him.
Then, a massive doorway appeared behind him.
Zhang Yi took a step backward and stepped through the doorway.
The massive gate closed rapidly like a zipper, and Zhang Yi completely vanished from midair, leaving not a single ripple behind.
Zhang Yi's true ability was to open an independent dimensional space that did not exist within this greater space.
He could open gates leading to dimensional spaces.
In the past, he had used this ability as a defensive measure and a repositioning skill.
In reality, however, it was simply a passageway.
Now, Zhang Yi had entered the dimensional space, and then he closed the passage.
From this moment onward, he would no longer exist within this world.
No matter how powerful your strength, you cannot erase a being that does not exist in this world.
If there was one flaw to speak of, it was that Zhang Yi had a time limit for how long he could stay hidden within.
The difference in time flow would make days inside feel like decades.
Even staying inside for just one minute meant experiencing the sensation of one's body barely able to move while the mind clearly endured an incredibly long stretch of time.
Zhang Yi had subjected himself to extremely insane training to develop this ability.
Yet even up to now, his maximum limit for hiding within the dimensional space was only two and a half minutes.
But for the current situation, that was more than enough.
Suddenly losing his target, Kami-musubi-no-Kami froze in place.
"That guy, where did he run off to?"
He looked left and right, but even Spatial Shifting wouldn't completely erase one's traces like this.
And yet, Zhang Yi had genuinely disappeared.
In the open space tens of thousands of meters above the ground, he had vanished completely.
"This must be smoke and mirrors, right? You little brat, don't think you can fool me!"
Kami-musubi-no-Kami raised the scepter high, and the Yata-no-Kagami erupted violently. Black flying stars surged madly in every direction!
The massive flying stars shrouded the entire sky above Edo City!
The explosive surge of energy frightened Canero so much his face turned pale.
His battle armor powered up to maximum output, carrying him away at incredible speed.
Fortunately, Kami-musubi-no-Kami's target wasn't him, or else he'd probably have ended up dead right there.
"Chaos! Chaos!"
Canero tried to contact Zhang Yi, but the system responded, "signal interrupted."
This left Canero completely dumbfounded.
Bro, seriously? I came here to back you up!
Where are you?
Canero was so angry his nose nearly twisted sideways. He had no idea that Zhang Yi was actually still in the same spot, just in another world separated from the real world by nothing more than a thin spatial barrier.
Kami-musubi-no-Kami was the one who truly went insane.
His attack had missed, and Zhang Yi had completely vanished, making him feel like he had been played by some weak sixth-generation punk.
"Damn it!!!!"
