Chapter 357 Xia Fa's New Form! First Time Facing the Bronze Cleaner Head-on!
From the very beginning, it was said that an eternal certificate would be born in the Baron Ocean.
A few days ago, I witnessed firsthand the strange phenomena of the [Eternal Strike] authority overflowing in the City of Ten Thousand Stars.
And now, I have finally witnessed the appearance of [Eternal Critical Strike].
Xia Fa's heart was filled with an uncontrollable surge of emotion.
At the same time, a feeling of extreme closeness and attraction, which also involuntarily arose in his heart, was strongly transmitted from those myriad golden rays.
But soon, Xia Fa discovered that not only did he have this feeling, but many of the beings present who were of divine status also seemed to have this feeling.
However, he vaguely felt that the extremely close and attractive feeling he had with [Eternal Strike] was the strongest.
Yes, that's how confident I am in myself!
The next moment, above the City of Ten Thousand Stars, ten thousand golden rays of light suddenly converged rapidly in the same direction.
With a "ding," it sounded like a coin dropping to the ground.
Everyone saw the true form of [Eternal Critical Strike], or rather, the form it had taken now.
It was a gold coin, a gold coin with no patterns on its surface, as smooth as a mirror!
At that moment, everyone present who saw the gold coin felt an extremely strong desire, wishing they could immediately grasp the coin tightly in their hands and leave this place of trouble.
Aside from the cleaners.
The man known as "Silver Axe," the Silver Cleaner, let out a heavy "humph" and swung his silver axe, preparing to catch the gold coin in the air.
Seeing this, the [Undying Mummy] sneered, and countless bandages extended from its body, carrying a strong aura of death, as it prepared to directly wrap around the silver sword.
Xia Fa, emboldened, quietly approached the City of Ten Thousand Stars, ready to take advantage of any opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
He hadn't witnessed the [Eternal Critical Strike] before, but now, perhaps because of the incredibly close and attractive feeling between them, his desire for the [Eternal Critical Strike] was a million times stronger than instinct!
He would do anything to get it, unless it meant losing his life!
Just as the bandages of the [Immortal Mummy] were about to wrap around the silver axe, suddenly, the bandages made a turn in the air and headed straight for the gold coin!
The methods of this Outer God, the Immortal Mummy, were so cunning, yet the other Outer Gods present paid no heed.
They didn't even try to stop him.
The Silver Cleaner, Silver Axe, seemed to realize something, and suddenly withdrew its silver axe, letting out a heavy snort.
The next moment, just as the bandages of the [Immortal Mummy] were about to touch the smooth gold coin, only centimeters away, Boom!!!
An immense, extraordinary power, as powerful as a mountain collapsing and the sea overturning, capable of shaking the earth, suddenly erupted from that gold coin, which was the [Eternal Critical Strike]!
A golden, circular wave rippled out instantly, sweeping across the entire Worm Islands and an area spanning thousands of kilometers.
In that instant, two figures that had been hidden in the air and shrouded in thick black mist in the City of Ten Thousand Stars first appeared.
Following that, thousands of figures outside the City of Ten Thousand Stars were forced to reveal their true forms from their concealed state!
Two of them were even just a few meters away from Xia Fa, and he hadn't noticed them before!
Among these figures, some were those that Xia Fa could distinguish, namely unknown entities such as the Eye of the Mist, the Intricate Star Cluster, and the Bound Disciple—or rather, known entities.
But he couldn't recognize most of the others; they were all strangely shaped, resembling mermaids, horses, robots, and all sorts of other things.
However, all of them exuded the aura of a god, and some even had the aura of an outer god!
"That's way too much!"
Xia Fa couldn't help but complain. He already felt the situation was somewhat chaotic when the Cleaners appeared, but it became even more chaotic when the Outer Gods, led by the [Immortal Mummy], appeared.
As for now—it's no longer a matter of chaos; it's beyond the scope of everyone's plans.
But suddenly, an extremely strange scene appeared!
As the golden circular wave of the coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike] swept across, a full 90% of the various beings present were directly expelled from the City of Ten Thousand Stars and the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers away!
This force of exclusion was incredibly powerful, as if it came from the very origin of the universe. Even some beings of outer god rank could not resist it in the slightest and were directly pushed to the outermost edge!
Clearly, these entities were unable to absorb or contain the [Eternal Critical Strike], and were therefore directly excluded.
Almost instantly, the thousands of beings from the outer divine ranks who had been pushed out immediately caused extremely serious uncontrolled pollution to the real world. All sorts of maggots, blood, branches, elves, monsters, and so on appeared in the air.
As a result, these thousands of beings from the outer realms of gods naturally dared not stay in the real world for even a second longer, and immediately opened their own Star Spirit Rifts and went inside.
In the blink of an eye, the area tens of thousands of kilometers away from the City of Ten Thousand Stars became completely deserted, with no one daring to linger.
"this----"
Xia Faren was dumbfounded. He had previously thought that since so many beings from the outer realms of gods dared to enter the real world without permission, they should also dare to stay a little longer and see who would get the [Eternal Critical Strike].
Unexpectedly, once they left the area affected by the emergence of [Eternal Strike], which would not cause uncontrolled pollution to reality, they actually returned to the Protoss Realm as if they were fleeing.
Dick Tudor's voice then rang in his spiritual intuition: "This is normal. In the past, it was the nine great gods who would eliminate the gods outside the gods and unknown beings of equal rank who dared to enter the real world. Now, it is the Cleaners who will cause trouble for these audacious fools."
"Even if the Gold Cleaners are too busy, the Silver and Bronze Cleaners will still make it their primary target."
"Even if it means constantly divining and prying into secrets, we must pursue and kill them until we can completely eliminate them."
Xia Fa listened carefully, then pondered, "Is it because if beings of outer divine status could freely enter the real world, it would cause great trouble for the Cleaners' future cleanup work, which is why they prioritize hunting down such beings?"
Dick Tudor sighed softly, "Yes, that's why I've never truly stepped into the real world, not even since I became a god. But this reminds me of something."
Xia Fa couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"
Dick Tudor's tone suddenly turned serious: "What I was just about to tell you is that the one who attacked you outside Gilgamesh that day wasn't the Crimson Demon Tree at all. I later learned that the Crimson Demon Tree was acting with the Secret Star Cluster that day, and went to pick a Cleanser's camp."
Xia Fa immediately asked, "Do you know who it is?"
Dick said, "No, I don't know, but the person who disguised himself as the [Crimson Demon Tree] is incredibly cunning. Do you know why he wants to deal with you?"
Xia Fa asked, puzzled, "You mean—"
Dick Tudor stated unequivocally, "That's right! He deliberately chose to act at that time to set an example for the Outer Gods and unknown beings of the Protoss Realm. The Nine Great Gods no longer care about them or their unauthorized entry into the real world! Everything was for this day!"
"Or, He wants to prevent you from obtaining [Eternal Critical Strike]."
"7
"Or perhaps He wants to completely disrupt the situation and seize the [Eternal Critical Strike]!"
Xia Fa's pupils dilated. At this moment, he experienced for the first time the viciousness of the enemy disguised as the "Crimson Demon Tree" and lurking in the shadows.
Dick Tudor is right. In fact, it could be said that the reason why so many beings of divine status dare to enter the real world without permission is largely due to the time when the enemy in the shadows disguised themselves as the Crimson Demon Tree and made their move!
Originally, the planetary barrier of the [Silver Universe] was only meant to prevent the extraordinary rulers or mysterious emperors of other inhabited planets from stealing the token of eternity. It was simply impossible to prevent beings from the Star Spirit Realm from entering.
For example, during the whale watching festival, when the planet Caligia was in a closed state, a madman was still attracted by the rare treasures that people had unearthed from a god and an unknown being, and thus came closer to the real world.
The Protoss Realm is interconnected with the real world in every way. To prevent beings from the Protoss Realm from entering, it would be possible only during the first two millennia of the universe, when the Silver Universe was completely uninhibited and should have been able to do so.
But now, in order to help [Absolute Defense] hold off those thirty-five golden cleaners, and especially to prevent [Absolute Defense] from...
The aura of the righteous god disturbed most of the sleeping Golden Cleaners, who were completely unable to spare any resources and were therefore helpless.
Om-!
Just as Xia Fa figured this out, a strange fluctuation once again erupted from the gold coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike]!
This time, the fluctuation was even stronger than the first time, and its range also covered the City of Ten Thousand Stars and an area of tens of thousands of kilometers outside the city.
Xia Fa's body was swept by this wave, and he was involuntarily thrown into the air, flying directly towards the gold coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike].
Not only him, but everyone present, even the Cleaners, were also lifted into the air beyond their control, flying towards the [Eternal Strike] above the City of Ten Thousand Stars.
"This is----"
Seeing that there seemed to be no great danger, Xia Fa chose to remain calm. Moreover, even if he wanted to struggle, it would be useless, as his body was completely immobile.
But then, something completely unexpected happened!
Below, in the City of Ten Thousand Stars, at the "Ten Thousand Stars Amusement Park," a popular spot for couples, a maze flew up and instantly touched the coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike].
With a "whoosh", the maze, which was originally only a little over a thousand square meters, suddenly expanded to tens of thousands of square kilometers, encompassing everyone present!
Whether it's Xiafa, the Cleaners, or beings from outside the divine ranks.
The maze originally had no ceiling, and the walls were pure black, covered with all kinds of street graffiti. Some walls were also inlaid with fake wooden doors or windows, as well as mirrors.
Xia Fa felt a moment of disorientation before realizing that he had arrived at a corner of the maze, which seemed to be the starting point of the maze.
Immediately afterwards, a faint, almost ephemeral will rippled from the center of the distant labyrinth, resonating in everyone's heart.
"You will meet in the maze."
"Only—the one who—kills—the one who—lasts—the victor—will—"
"Only then will there be a chance—to truly possess me."
Without any explanation, everyone in the maze immediately realized what had happened and what to do next.
Without a doubt, everyone needs to move forward through the maze, heading towards the center, which is the location of the coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike], while simultaneously killing any opponents encountered along the way!
Because there can only be one winner in the end!
Only one person, or even just one existence, can receive [Eternal Critical Strike]!
"It seems like the chances have increased a bit more —"
After clarifying the situation, Xia Fa became more calm and analyzed the current situation.
If beings of outer godhood were to encounter each other within the labyrinth, that would certainly be the most advantageous situation, because they would have no choice but to fight each other to determine the victor.
The fewer Outer Gods there are, the greater the chance of obtaining [Eternal Critical Strike].
As for beings with godhood—even the Bronze Cleansers at the peak of godhood—he is not afraid!
Therefore, there's no need to consider it too much.
"Hmm—as long as I don't encounter any Outer God level opponents as I move forward, it'll be fine, otherwise it'll be troublesome—"
To exaggerate a bit, the difference between a godhood and an outer godhood is greater than the difference between a fungus-level superhuman and a ruler-level superhuman.
The gap between these positions is absolutely insurmountable, like an insurmountable chasm.
Therefore, even though he had the strength to kill the Bronze Cleaners, he was no match for any Outer God, and had virtually no power to resist.
In fact, just looking at the time in Garlic City, where a Silver Cleanser could lead three hundred Bronze Cleansers, you can see the difference between Outer Gods and Minor Gods.
Not to mention, back in the "Mysterious Bone Realm" of the Holy Venerable of Destiny, during the adventure he, Tefal, and his cousin, the Clown of Surprise, witnessed firsthand how it took hundreds of Bronze Cleaners to kill just one Silver Cleaner.
Moreover, it was in a tragic way that resulted in mutual destruction.
Therefore, all Xiafa can do now is pray that he doesn't encounter any enemies of the Outer God rank, as there is absolutely no chance of victory for them.
"I wonder if that bastard who disguised himself as the [Crimson Demon Tree] to harm me is still around. If he is, I hope he's been killed by the other Outer Gods—"
Xia Faxin was hoping for it, after all, the enemy in the shadows was too cunning and too dangerous, and he didn't want him to stay in the world for long.
After calming himself down, he began to move towards the center of the maze.
Unexpectedly, after walking only a few steps, I heard the familiar, heavy sound of horses' hooves.
The next moment, at the winding intersection ahead, a Bronze Cleaner appeared, carrying a lance, and immediately looked at him.
Xia Fa clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with killing intent. Mercury vapor first emerged from his body, followed by chaotic lightning threads, holy white sunlight, and metallic whirlwind rising simultaneously from within the mercury vapor.
That was—the Starshine Rhine Silver Mercury combined with the three great mutations of Chaos Destruction Lightning, Pure White Incandescent Sun, and Metal Accumulation Storm, beginning to intertwine within him.
It seems that they are about to coalesce into an unimaginable new form!
Battle—imminent!
