MIGHT AS WELL BE OP Chapter 1318: Nature’s Savant

The Eternal Apex by the title, Nature’s Savant, stared at Anthony with a calm expression. The next moment, a pair of gauntlets appeared around his hands. Unlike most, if not all, gauntlets that were made of metal, alloys, and ores, Nature’s Savant’s gauntlets were made of nothing but pure brown wood.

The moment those wooden gauntlets appeared, his entire demeanor changed as the man went from someone who had been putting on airs and into that of an apex predator. His entire existence now gave off an aura of danger.

’He is decisive,’ Anthony thought. ’I guess it comes with age and experience,’ he mused to himself.

Another person might have been arrogant, thinking that someone who had ascended a few weeks ago could never match them. But just from him displaying a few abilities, Nature’s Savant had instantly reached a conclusion of a life-or-death battle and had prepared for it.

’But I don’t think The Lover Of Death’s secret realm can handle the amount of power we would unleash,’ Anthony thought to himself.

He was sure that the Eternal Apex knew this, but obviously, the man didn’t care. He was here for a mission, and nothing else. Nature’s Savant didn’t care if the entire Underground Tomb collapsed and the geniuses all died.

"How about a change in venue?" Anthony suggested with a smile on his face as he suddenly appeared before Nature’s Savant.

But the man didn’t react. He could tell Anthony only wanted to change the venue and nothing else. As Anthony touched his shoulder, both of them instantly vanished as they appeared within the Divine Realm. He had chosen the Divine Realm as he didn’t know how much power the Mirror Dimension could hold.

Appearing within the Divine Realm, Anthony vanished and appeared a couple of meters away, creating distance between him and Nature’s Savant.

Nature’s Savant stood stunned the moment he appeared within the Divine Realm. He could literally feel and sense all Laws humming throughout the never-ending space.

’What kind of Law Land is this?’ He couldn’t help but marvel for a moment at a scene he had never witnessed.

But the next split second, he snapped out of it. He had an opponent in front of him; he couldn’t afford to get distracted. Besides, Anthony bringing him here only made him want to capture Anthony alive even more. But he knew that wasn’t a priority. He would fight Anthony in a life-or-death combat, and if Anthony couldn’t keep up, then he could change his strategy to capturing him alive.

Anthony, who was standing a couple of meters ahead, also summoned his own gauntlets. Just because he preferred the katana didn’t mean he wasn’t just as good with hand-to-hand combat. The Beginning Of All Things Physique made him a master of all weapons, and his combat experience skill made him possess equal experience with all of them.

The katana hanging on his waist seemed to turn into some black metallic liquid. It flowed upwards from his waist, then divided into two, the liquid swirling until a pair of gauntlets appeared around his hands.

A smile appeared on Anthony’s lips. He knew he was about to have another peak battle after his battle versus the Demon King and The False God. He settled into a stance and stood ready to move at any given moment.

Seeing the smile on Anthony’s lips, Nature’s Savant didn’t smile back. He simply stood with the air of a man who stood at the summit of the Ecliptica Galaxy’s power.

Without a word, both of them vanished from where they stood as they closed the distance between each other in less than an instant. Both of them attacked with raging force, their palms streaking out as brown wooden gauntlet met a black metallic one.

The impact came in less than an instant, as a galaxy-destroying burst of shockwave and pure power surged outwards in pure madness. The air collapsed in totality, space throughout the Divine Realm shook and shattered as the Void seeped into reality. Trees snapped backwards and shattered, then vanished from reality as they were erased in totality. Chunks of earth from the Divine Realm were erased as a sinkhole spanning over ten billion kilometers in radius tore open from just the impact of their first attack.

Through the smoke, two beings could be seen, one wearing a purple robe, the other wearing pure white, their palms locked into each other as force continued to rumble outwards. None of them took a step backwards, as though they were equal. Although the ground under their feet had been erased, they simply defied gravity physically.

If this attack had been unleashed back at The Sleeping Hollow, then it should have collapsed and killed everyone within it.

Black eyes met a pair of sky-blue ones, and as though they shared the same thought, they both vanished, their speed faster than light itself as they moved to appear faster than time itself. The entire Divine Realm was covered in endless mirages and afterimages as they moved with insane speed.

Their elbows met, another impact tearing a hole through reality. But this time, the two of them didn’t just move through the Divine Realm; they dove instead first into the Void itself as they continued exchanging attacks.

People usually avoided the Void, but to these two, it was nothing. Even when surrounded by pure nothingness, they seemed to still see each other and exchange precise attacks.

Anthony’s fist rocketed towards Nature’s Savant’s head, the Void doing nothing to slow his speed. But Nature’s Savant simply twisted and sidestepped as though the Void itself were land. The moment he sidestepped, he punched out at Anthony’s side.

Anthony’s eyes snapped towards the incoming attack, his body twisting like rubber as he dodged at the last possible instant. The moment he dodged, he void-absorbed the force and impact of the missed attacks. Anthony didn’t just dodge; he retaliated, his palm streaking towards Nature’s Savant’s chin with precise accuracy.

As the attack was about to land, Nature’s Savant leaped upwards, moving just beyond the range of Anthony’s palm. He somersaulted through the Void, landed on nothing, and shot forward like an arrow.

But Anthony simply smirked, clenched his fist, and the Void around them hummed as the Law Of Void came alive.

The Void around Nature’s Savant immediately compressed as it moved to devour him into pure nothingness. Nature’s Savant, seeing this, tapped into his own Law, which came alive with instantaneous ease. But the moment his Law came alive, the Void itself seemed to devour it.

But just the fact that his Law had appeared was enough, as the next moment he vanished from his position, his body appearing midair beside Anthony as he sent out another punch to his temples.

Anthony immediately reacted, his speed peaking as instinct and reflex merged together to match the insane teleportation speed Nature’s Savant had just displayed. The back of his palm met Nature’s Savant’s fist as he parried the attack to the side.

The moment he parried with his right hand, his left hand moved in a streak that was faster than thought. With a silenced sound, the attack connected with devastating impact. But Nature’s Savant didn’t seem to care as he tanked the attack head-on, as though such a level of physical attack wasn’t enough to injure an Eternal Apex.

His hand, which had been parried earlier, immediately clamped down on Anthony’s forearm as he drew him closer and unleashed a devastating knee strike to Anthony’s forehead.

But Anthony wasn’t that easily caught off guard, as the next moment, the Law Of Void came alive. His body turned ethereal, and he phased through the attack with ease.
