Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

The main body no longer sent any signal.

Xides fell silent, clenching his fist with one hand, his eyes gradually revealing an indescribable expression under the mask of the void.

As the Void Overlord, his greatest reliance on Leoz was essentially the powerful suppression from the main body of the void. As long as the main body surfaced from the Underwater Abyss Port to the Border Abyss, and then from the Border Abyss to the Layer Abyss, it could immediately appear in this Inherent Time Domain.

But now, there must have been some problem at the Underwater Abyss Port.

Li Aozi stood on the shore, overlooking him. Though only five meters five tall, his massive shadow was cast on the seabed against the backlight of the sun.

Clearly, Li Aozi had anticipated all this.

"Even while stalling for time, there is still an aura of Kappa (10) in outer space, and my main body hasn't arrived. Relying solely on this body, it's clearly not a match for the local powerhouse."

Not only that.

Due to the divine right nation Li Aozi established on the Dragon Satellite, the entire planet had formed a stable mental defense line.

The war had reached this point, and the void would not allow him to retreat—especially since retreating back to the narrative homeland, his main body was already committed. For a Void Overlord without a main body, the only fate awaiting him was being devoured by colleagues.

"Tricked..."

Xides clenched his fist tightly.

Leoz is still Leoz; even after gaining humanity, this guy's scheming remains profound.

Xides had no way out.

"Do you still want to fight?"

Li Aozi asked indifferently:

"If you surrender now, we can still sit down and chat about the past, Lord Xides."

He deliberately used the title 'Lord,' as Gio Zieou had always called him 'Lord Leoz,' which seemed to be the way the deities on the Starry Abyss Side addressed their companions.

Li Aozi had many things he wished to understand, with no deep hatred against Xides—Xides just hated him, that's all.

Li Aozi was a generous person, not petty, and as long as Xides was willing to listen to him, reconciliating wouldn't be an issue.

"Shut up, you tyrant!"

Xides grabbed with both hands, and the next moment, his figure instantly tore through the dimension, traversing the void with his flesh, charging towards Li Aozi across the deep sea!

"You traitorous usurper! You're not qualified to call me 'Lord'!"

Xides swept out a punch, and before the shockwave reached, the aura of the void had already engulfed a land of tens of millions of square kilometers.

"Let me show you—despite bearing a curse, the gap in hierarchy is here, and you have no right to overstep!"

[Flight requires time, launching an Arcane Missile won't explode in time, and at this distance, using Death Link to share damage would affect both N4 and Zhi Xiang—]

Without much hesitation, Li Aozi immediately made a decision, suddenly lifting his blade to block.

Zaniya's gaze was heavy, and the Sword of Destiny Awakening burst forth with red lightning and magic light. After layering heavy power, she defended with all her might.

Pa!

Li Aozi trembled all over, stubbornly standing his ground with the passive support of [Bloodline], his legs embedded in the dirt.

—Blocked it.

"Li Aozi..."

Zhi Xiang's words weren't finished. The aura of the void instantly materialized, and a series of undulating mountains immediately formed behind Li Aozi!

[-12,887 (Damage Type: Void)]

[You've been affected by the 'Void Overlord's' Mana Burn: losing 2000 Mana Points per second]

Boom!

With one successful strike, Xides immediately withdrew his hand and alternated his punches.

Clang! Clang! Clang—!

Li Aozi continuously swung his blade to deflect the opponent's attacks, spinning back while tearing apart the timeline to teleport N4 and Zhi Xiang to a safe area.

"During battle—where are you looking?!"

As Li Aozi lowered his head slightly, Xides took the opportunity to raise his leg, aiming a kick at Li Aozi's back.

Li Aozi countered with a sword wield behind his back to block the kick, dispersing most of the force while dropping to one knee. Without leaving a gap, Xides immediately raised his hand to unleash a dense barrage of void blasts at the grounded Li Aozi.

"Leoz!"

No need for Zaniya's shouted reminder, Li Aozi's blade twirled in his hand, forming a dazzling sword screen like blooming flowers in an instant.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

The rapidly spinning sword screen deflected and severed the void blasts launched by Xides, while Li Aozi's knee stayed grounded, spinning to deflect Xides' punches, repeatedly slashing and cutting at his opponent.

"Hmph—this is all you've got!"

Despite taking a sword to the chest, Xides didn't alter his offensive, still pressing the attack.

"Are you just tickling me? Even if you rely on Arcane Energy to close the gap in Strength and Attributes, the hierarchy difference between Iota (9) and Kappa (9) is as vast as the clouds and mud!"

Whoosh!

Li Aozi threw a feigned punch, and as Xides defensively responded, Li Aozi's blade swiftly swept beneath his knee, then immediately tossed the blade over his head, pounding both palms onto Xides' chest.

"Ugh—"

[Entering combat state, dealing damage to the enemy]

[Racial Talent: Moon Frenzy triggered]

[Your attack speed limit has been removed]

Bang—!

Xides responded too late and was shoved off balance. Just as he straightened up, Li Aozi hooked his toes around the gleaming long sword, gripping it with one hand, twirling the blade, and charging forward in one step, instantly thrusting towards Xides' heart.

"Get lost!"

Xides slapped away the blade, and Li Aozi immediately released it, performing an aerial flip to grip the blade in a reverse hold, then slashed at Xides' face, instantly following up with a kick upon landing to knock Xides back, and then spun once more, hacking at the same spot repeatedly.

"Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak! With these feeble attacks, what do you hope to accomplish? Where's your Arcane Energy, Leoz?! Wasn't your Chaos Flame supposed to be fierce? Burn me with it! You can't bring it out, can you?! With just this ordinary attack, who do you think you can defeat?!"

In one aspect, Xides was correct.

Even though Li Aozi's attributes weren't far off, Kappa is still Kappa (10). Even with a curse, with a War Maniac template, the damage to him was limited. Some things can't simply be compensated with skill and awareness.

No matter how hard he fought, Li Aozi could only inflict double-digit or triple-digit damage on Xides, and against absolute hierarchical damage reduction, it was nothing but scraping.

But—

One cut, two cuts, three cuts!

When three consecutive cuts fell on the same scar, Xides suddenly realized something was wrong.

—If each cut were heavier than the last, that would be understandable.

Clang, clang, clang—

Li Aozi's blade became increasingly faster, trailing a continuous shadow in the air. The speed increased, and the friction between air and blade erupted in dazzling sparks.

—But why was each cut faster than the last?

Clang, clang, clang, snap, crackle, snap, crackle!

The armored suit gradually emitted sounds incongruous with hard materials in the face of Li Aozi's high-speed slicing.
