Chapter 495 431 Slap_1

No mercy, no disguise—just an all-out, mighty blow!

A hurricane erupted. Myriad bolts of lightning howled from his black fist, instantly stretching for millions of miles, cleaving through the eternal darkness of the Abyss.

Osiris was sent flying, hurled from one end of the Group Star to the very edge of the other. It left two deep, grievous ravines in its wake. The Crocodile Head Shield before him turned fiery red and rapidly crumbled, exposing two arms, heated red and trembling slightly.

How could this old man be so strong...

Huai Shi was terrified. Even more incredibly, he wondered, Are those techniques... from the Drummer school?

Although it bore no resemblance to what Luo Lao had taught him, it was, in essence, a continuation of the same lineage. The only difference was that one utilized the Source Substance of Sublimators, while the other had thoroughly converted that power into lightning of a more destructive, altered quality.

"Be careful! Here it comes again!"

Amidst the siege by Surtur, the Holy Grail Knight, and several other Sublimators, the Heretic King, despite facing four adversaries, found an opening and launched another punch at Huai Shi through the air.

Even from six kilometers away, Huai Shi felt a phantom pain, as if his skull were shattering and his body being crushed by a truck.

But this time, his dodging motion suddenly stalled.

A piercing power failure alarm blared from the cockpit. No power...

"What the hell!" Huai Shi exclaimed in disbelief. "It can't be this pathetic, can it? Come on, even Ultraman gets three minutes! How can you not even last that long?"

"You never fully charged Osiris!" Beelzebub cried in despair. "That it lasted this long on only ten percent power with you at the helm was a miracle, you know!"

The lightning hurricane surged toward him like a flood.

Huai Shi gasped. This time I'm truly screwed...

In that instant, rainbow light once again descended from the sky, carrying a colossal object that crashed onto the Group Star. It stood like a fortress against the Thunder.

The Ivory Tower's emblem on its outermost layer was instantly incinerated, revealing the terrifying Sharp Blade concealed within.

It was hard to tell whether it should be called a giant cannon or a Heavy Sword. Upon its reveal, the fierce Rainbow Gold blade pulsed with a chilling light.

Despite the lightning storm's rampage, it remained unscathed.

Aside from its twin cutting edges, countless majestic cuneiform inscriptions glittered on the massive, thick spine of the blade, heralding impending destruction and judgment.

Within the pitch-black cannon bore, eternal darkness brewed, exuding an incomparable presence.

[Supreme Judgement Arms - Blade of Osiris is in position.]

A deep notification sound echoed in Osiris's cockpit, leaving Huai Shi stunned. He instinctively reached out.

Flames erupted from sixteen nozzles along the blades, like rocket thrusters. They propelled the massive blade-cannon roaring toward Huai Shi, and it slotted into his hands, a perfect fit.

Then, from afar, the light of the Rainbow Bridge shone once more. A torrent of brilliant silver light descended from the sky as the Astronomical Society's Source Substance interface fully opened to this unknown Armor.

Power supply initiated.

Instantly, the depleted energy reserves skyrocketed—twenty percent, sixty percent, eighty percent!

In the blink of an eye, one hundred percent!

Finally, a message appeared on the cockpit screen.

[Greetings, unknown pilot of Osiris. We sincerely offer this modest assistance, hoping that Lord Auden's resplendent ideals have not faded.]

[—Ivory Tower.]

When Huai Shi turned, he saw the Vice-Chancellor of the Ivory Tower in the distant sky. The man placed a hand over his chest and nodded, his usually grim face now full of solemnity as he paid respect to the pioneers of old.

"See that, Beelzebub?" Huai Shi couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Auden hasn't been forgotten. His sacrifice and death were not meaningless."

Besides you, he still left his mark on this world, a legend not to be forgotten.

"Auden..."

Gazing through the cage of the Double Helix Secret Meter, Matthes's expression darkened at the sight of the descending blade-cannon. "Why," he muttered, his voice tinged with pain, "even after all these years dead, do you still cause such sorrow?"

"Heretic King—" he raised his voice, "this is no longer child's play! Kill him!"

The gaunt elder remained silent, his eyes shooting fierce lightning.

The sixteen-layered black halo behind him began to rotate with a thunderous rumble.

If the previous Osiris was considered The Fly King's folly, still within the bounds of tolerance due to past camaraderie, then the Underworld Giant, now fully equipped with the Supreme Judgement, was an undeniable menace.

It must be eliminated!

Faster than him was the roar of the blade-cannon.

At the tail of the greatsword-cannon, massive nozzles flared with incandescent light. Instantly locking onto the Armor, they unleashed terrifying power, propelling the Underworld Giant forward with a deafening roar.

In a flash, the six-kilometer distance vanished.

The Rainbow Gold Blade had already slashed down!

Directly targeting the Iron Fist overflowing with lightning.

Amidst the din, the Sword Blade howled, and shockwaves rippled out in all directions.

This time, the colossal Armor stood its ground, not wavering or retreating an inch. The weapon in its hand—be it sword, Axe, or giant cannon—swept out fiercely.

CRASH!

The Heretic King raised his arm. His livid skin blocked the path of the blade-cannon, but the high-frequency vibrating Sword Blade still sliced through, leaving a gash.
