Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2095: Retreat
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
At Chu Yuan's present level of power, not even the gods could stand against him anymore.
Chu Yuan advanced with one stride, zeroing in on his foe and pressing straight ahead. Endless surges of force scattered the divine figures. An enormous hand came crashing down, fully enclosing the opponent.
The opponent had now become nothing more than a swirling mass of foul energy.
Facing Chu Yuan's might, a sharp screech rang out as the evil energy boiled over, attempting to burst free from the confines of his hand.
However, Chu Yuan's hand blow crushed every bit of his protection.
The opponent burst apart into a misty haze the instant it connected.
Right then, Chu Yuan displayed his unbeatable might, superior to all, twisting his wrist to create a huge whirlpool, set on swallowing up the whole essence.
"This is bad, he's wiped out the opponent, his strength is now without limits, tough to stand against!"
"With our presence, he won't touch the opponent!"
"Planning to take in the opponent's essence to boost himself? No way!"
The remaining nine divine figures saw the opponent shatter, right away letting out angry cries, regrouping once more behind the War God to attack Chu Yuan's whirlpool, pulling the opponent back from its grasp.
"He's far too strong!"
Once freed from the whirlpool, a profound worry and concealed dread filled the opponent's mind, not from weakness on his part, but from the sheer overwhelming scale of the rival's force.
Without the divine figures' intervention, getting away would have been out of reach.
Yes, he grasped it fully.
This individual had amassed the energies of rebirth, artifacts, soul, and the whole realm, exceeding what any lone divine force could handle.
Watching the opponent get saved, Chu Yuan's expression stayed steady.
With a flick of his wrist, an artifact morphed into a heavenly tool, enhancing his supreme might. The impact of this tool was beyond imagination, bringing a choking blackness.
Chu Yuan slashed with the heavenly tool, aiming for total destruction, and soon a gut-wrenching wail followed.
It came from a demon.
This demon got cleaved in half right away by Chu Yuan's heavenly tool, not dead on the spot, but the blow dealt crippling injuries nonetheless.
Chu Yuan swung the tool once more.
This level of carnage dimmed the sun and moon, twisted time and space, and utterly wrecked the core of sky and ground.
With his existing prowess, nobody could challenge him single-handedly. Amid the chaos of war, he stood as the ultimate force.
"If we keep this up, the cost will be too high, we can't continue!"
The demon bellowed, having taken multiple hits himself, with fissures forming in the demonic essence.
"I see what he's after. He realizes that despite his superior strength, he can't wipe us out right away when we unite, so he's wearing us down bit by bit until our energy runs dry, sealing our doom!"
That's the tactic!
Right now, the War Emperor's dominance was utterly crushing, overshadowing all else, holding their forces in check. No isolated power could match him.
Even the ten divine figures endured tremendous strain, taking heavy damage.
Should this drag on, loss was certain.
Beaten by him, their every gain would disappear, all falling to the War Emperor, having nothing to do with them.
In that instant, their eyes turned to the War God.
"War God, you orchestrated the initial heavenly clash, and without your lead, the divine ruler couldn't have fallen. We know you've got an answer, tell us, and we'll back you completely."
At once, they hung on the War God's next words.
"Yes, I do have a way."
The War God responded firmly.
"So, what's your plan?"
The divine figures asked.
"Pull back for now, fighting on will just lead to our downfall. There's a final option left; if it works, we'll claim the splendor of the Fourth Era."
The War God's tone brought a sense of order.
"Let's follow the War God's guidance and fall back immediately!"
The other nine divine figures saw that endless combat wouldn't beat the War Emperor, now realizing the War God held a counter to him.
They figured out why the War God had held back until this point, wondering if hidden agendas played a role.
"If you're set on withdrawing, pour your strength into me first!"
The War God ordered once again.
"Sure thing!"
The other nine divine figures showed no delay, instantly sending nine flows of top-tier essence toward the War God.
The War God, absorbing those nine powers, at once released an aura rivaling Chu Yuan's, even if all could tell it was just short-term borrowed might.
Differing from Chu Yuan, who truly commanded every bit of it.
Still, it sufficed for a smooth escape.
True enough, the War God, fueled by the combined essences, felt his power explode, swiftly unleashing an unbeatable heavenly force to clash with Chu Yuan.
The energy seemed somewhat disjointed yet resisted constant suppression.
"Is this enough to let you seize the Fourth Era's triumph?"
Chu Yuan eyed the divine figures who had transferred their power to the War God, his demeanor radiating assured command.
"At the very least, it opens a chance to bring you down."
The War God stated with certainty: "I've made thorough preparations for this moment. Your role fits my plans yet defies them too. The ultimate clash isn't here, but it'll ignite shortly!"
The War God pulled away, and Chu Yuan held back from chasing.
Chu Yuan upheld his unshakeable supremacy as they retreated, his resolve brimming with unbeatable assurance.
Whatever ultimate ploy the War God kept hidden, he would always secure triumph through the strongest position.
His time couldn't be halted!
"Chu Yuan, they've pulled back."
Yan Ran noted: "The War God retains his last tricks, ones that'll release their greatest potential. The War God is cunning; he's set up various backups, maybe he didn't anticipate events unfolding quite like this at the start."
"When they come back to fight again, that'll be the real decisive confrontation!"
The artifact beheld Chu Yuan's unbeatable skill.
"No need to worry, there's no other path. To overcome me, the ten divine figures have to merge all their essences into a single ultimate form, that's their sole shot."
Chu Yuan proclaimed.
"Merging into one body?"
The divine essence reflected, then dismissed it: "Does that mean all the power gathers in the War God, but is that even possible? Those ten divine figures aren't the realm itself, they can't truly hand over everything to the War God, it won't work!"
"That hinges on the War God's tricks, but all things in the world follow certain paths; they'll craft the strongest entity, unlocking true possibility."
Chu Yuan held no dread for the War God's final ace.
"The Fourth Era, an age of endless unity!"
His words echoed once more!
