Viviane heard Almond’s taunt and her eyes flared.
‘I’ll kill you!’
In the next moment, she went out, and as one could see, her energy output intensity reached Omega-2.
Her figure blurred and then two more of her appeared before all three of them swung their axes in different manners a total of three times.
In an instant, nine destructive projectiles of axes shot at Almond at the peak of Hyper Speed 3 speed.
Almond moved like a beam as the projectiles followed him, curving through across the exotic hyper plane as his sword glimmered like milky white with a stream of silver and gold whirling while colorful sparks bonded in micro threads.
Two projectiles were about to hit him, but with a single flash of a slash, both turned into sparks that bathed Almond in gentle light.
As Almond drifted through space around the stadium at the peak of hyper speed 3, the projectiles chased him while he nullified them one by one by adjusting his speed.
Viviane could watch and process everything as her consciousness was in Hyper Plane, and seeing how Almond snuffed out her attacks, she felt like puking blood alongside the disbelief that assaulted her.
‘How is that possible?! What kind of attack is that?!’
Moreover, she saw that as her destructive axe projectiles that could blast a planet into a sea of flames with an impact were forcefully scattered like colorful lights, those lights actually entered Almond’s body!
A strange fear infused into Viviane.
In the Hyper Plane, Almond took 12 seconds to deal with the nine attacks, but in reality, less than a second had passed.
“I guess it’s my turn now,” Almond said as he stopped fifty meters across Viviane. “Ready? Here it comes.”
“Wait no, I-” Viviane snapped out of her tense state, but it was too late. She didn’t want to die and start over!
However, when she saw the slash that was released from Almond’s sword as her mind went Hyper Realm, she knew it was over.
Even as she was seeing the slash traveling, the pain actually started in her.
‘T-This…’ Viviane felt her whole body getting cut by one slash, which then spread and shredded her body into uncountable pieces.
But just as she felt it, it was over. The slash struck her and did exactly what she felt at that moment.
To everyone watching, Almond’s slash struck Vivian, and she also turned into sparks before scattering while Almond gained the True Spirit of a powerful Supreme Emperor.
His aura subtly shifted as his Spirit Drape ran out, but he used another Griminion Emperor’s spirit and used Spirit Drape on it again, regaining the boost in his stats while also recovering over half of his Prana and Soul energy in the process while getting more reserve Prana via Spirit Drape.
Still in prime condition, Almond floated as silence descended briefly before cheers erupted among the Regalons who were watching.
[ One Shot again?! ]
[ Insane! He can’t be an Immortal King! ]
[ He is not…]
[ But he is.]
[ Damn it, even that attack wasn’t measured. Hey, Cat Eye, is your streaming working properly? ]
While most of them were in shock, and a rather exciting shock at that, the Supreme Emperors of Big Ten felt like their worldview was shattering.
There was no trick or scheme this time!
Almond nullified all ten attacks of Viviane, but she couldn’t even handle one attack of his!
“Hey, you all look like you swallowed dirty flies,” Lily shouted while cheekily smiling. “Anyone still wants to duel? If not, we can start the party.”
To Lily, the more people she had to target, the stronger and more durable she would become with her Blood Reckoning talent stacking fast, and all of her attacks which always stole vitality, stamina, Prana, and soul energy from her targets.
And there was no way to stop, trap, or restrict her in any way or form as long as Almond was around. Moreover, she was eager to try out the main power of her Ascent-rank blood variant element, Ichor of Dreadblood Eidolon.
“Two versus ninety-seven should be good for you all, right?” Almond asked with a grin. “Or perhaps, do you need more people?”
On the other hand, the Big Ten’s Supreme Emperors were in hyper plane discussion.
‘Damn it! Are we really going to gang up to fight the two?!’ Armen clan’s group leader cursed, his face ashen.
‘You want to duel? Please, go ahead. If not, let’s stop being delusional now. There’s no doubt anymore. Those two fucking crazily powerful. More powerful than each of us individually!’
‘Did you notice how that guy’s energy recovered so fast? It instantly filled up to 70% percent, but then just a few breaths, and he recovered to full.’
‘He spent considerable against to nullify Viviane’s attacks and his attack was also undoubtedly potent, requiring significant energy, but that recovery is insane.’
With Almond’s Heir of Oblivion which halved the cost of all energies as well as doubling his recovery, Almond could essentially release 200% of his peak power normally by spending 100% of his energy due to halving cost.
And with his multiple recovery methods, mainly being Spirits, it was impossible to exhaust him.
‘Recovery won’t matter if we can kill them fast.’
‘We have to identify their effects. If we can’t identify, we can’t counter. That Almond literally transformed Viviane’s attacks into something entirely.’
‘If he has some kind of conversion conceptual power, that’s going to be fucking annoying.’
‘We have to use our willpower to the fullest in the right direction.’
‘The main thing to know is how much of their thoughts are accelerated in Hyper Plane. If they get more seconds than us, then we will have to coordinate better to strike them down.’
‘The faster the speed, the more the seconds we get…but with how that guy drifted while getting chased, it’s clear that his peak speed is faster than Viviane.’
‘And Viviane was fast. Among us, I’m fairly sure she ranks in fifth or fourth rank in terms of speed, but she failed to do anything against his attack.’
‘Two seconds passed by outside since he spoke. We have to start now.’
‘Fucking go all out. Use artifacts that we have in our possession, and don’t hold back at all!’
The Supreme Emperors got off their thrones and floated forward with their respective groups floating behind each of them.
