Snap!
The two guards straightened their arms, then bent their arms and waists together until they looked like two curled shrimp. Their fingertips touched.
Their bodies gradually overlapped, and a blinding light burst from them.
Ken fell silent.
Isn't this just the Fusion Dance?
No, the dance takes a little longer than the Fusion Dance.
Supposedly, the Fusion Dance is a simplified version of the Super Fusion Technique.
Snap!
When Ken looked again, the two guards had already completed the Super Fusion Technique and merged into one person.
The fused guard looked almost identical to the Left Guard and Right Guard. It was nearly impossible to tell much difference with the naked eye.
Then again, the Left Guard and Right Guard already looked very similar to begin with.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Ken!" the fused guard said, a confident smile on his face.
"So this is the Super Fusion Technique? Interesting." Ken nodded, a little expectant.
Boom!
Powerful divine power suddenly surged from the fused guard's body. Light erupted around him, dazzling to the eye.
Ken sensed the fused guard's level for a moment.
To Ken's surprise, after the two guards fused, their level had actually reached level 80.
That was one level higher than he had estimated.
No wonder the two of them were so confident.
"Not bad. You're much stronger than I expected." Ken nodded in praise and was about to attack.
"Wait a moment, Ken," the Grand Priestess spoke from inside Ken's body.
"What?" Ken asked.
"I'm still worried about that guy you sealed," the Grand Priestess said with some concern. "He is the Demon Supreme Kai's younger brother. You probably only caught him because he was taken by surprise. He was sealed before he had time to use his magic. I feel like he could break free at any moment."
"Didn't I already tell those two guards? They didn't believe me. Can you blame me for that?" Ken said calmly.
"Tell them again!" the Grand Priestess suggested. "If you don't control that seal… In any case, I have a bad feeling."
"The Demon Realm is very far from here. Even if he escapes the seal, it should be hard for him to return there, right?" Ken said thoughtfully.
"You think he can't teleport?" the Grand Priestess said in a low voice. "If he uses teleportation, how are you going to chase him?"
"That makes a lot of sense…" Ken nodded thoughtfully.
However, while Ken and the Grand Priestess were communicating, the fused guard had already taken the initiative and attacked.
Swish!
Ken's figure flickered and vanished from where he stood.
In the blink of an eye, Ken appeared beside Zat's seal.
At that moment, Zat's seal was churning nonstop.
Just as the Grand Priestess had said, he looked as if he might break through the seal at any time.
Ken felt a little emotional.
I'm level 80, yet after sealing someone below level 60, this guy still has a chance to break free?
Ken had no reason to hesitate. Of course he could not let Zat escape so easily.
He had gone through the trouble of catching this prey. How could he let him slip away like that?
That would make the Realm of Gods look far too incompetent.
Ken held his scepter, and a surge of Angel power rapidly spread over the seal.
Snap!
The struggling seal instantly quieted down.
"Are you using that thing to absorb Angel power?" The fused guard froze, instinctively assuming Ken was absorbing Angel power through it.
"I thought your brain was bad, but it turns out your eyes are bad too." Ken shook his head. "Can't you tell I'm the one sending Angel power into this guy?"
"Hmph, nonsense!" the fused guard snorted and attacked Ken again.
Only this time, the fused guard's target was Zat's seal.
Ken fell silent.
He was honestly speechless.
"If you want to let him out that badly, I'll give you what you want." Ken was so annoyed he almost laughed.
The next moment, Ken showed no hesitation and directly placed Zat's seal in the path of the fused guard's attack.
The fused guard froze for a full second.
Does he want me to blow this thing apart?
Could the Demon Supreme Kai's younger brother really be sealed inside?
That actually might be possible.
If I really release him and let him escape, the Grand Priest definitely won't forgive me.
Zeno-sama might punish me too.
With that thought, the fused guard no longer dared to attack Zat's seal.
Seeing the fused guard freeze for a second, Ken showed no mercy and kicked him in the abdomen.
"Aaagh!"
The fused guard screamed and staggered backward.
Ken's figure flickered, and in an instant, he appeared behind the fused guard.
Bang!
Ken kicked again, sending the fused guard lunging forward.
However, the fused guard reacted extremely quickly.
As a god who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, the fused guard possessed an extremely sharp battle sense.
He quickly adjusted his body and turned around to face Ken.
The fused guard extended his index finger and raised his thumb, forming a finger-gun shape.
Whoosh!
A streak of purple light shot from the fused guard's fingertip.
The purple light screamed toward Ken at incredible speed. It was so fast that even Merus, who was watching from the side, could not react.
Although Merus was only watching, cold sweat broke out all over him at that moment.
Looking at the purple light rushing toward him, Ken calmly raised his scepter. Brilliant flames of light flashed from the top of it.
The bright flames blocked the purple light's assault.
Whoosh!
Then something shocking happened.
Under the effect of the brilliant light, the purple streak suddenly reflected back and shot toward the fused guard.
The fused guard froze again. He had never expected Ken to use such a strange move.
Seeing the purple light reflected back at him, the fused guard immediately rose into the air, trying to dodge it.
Swish!
Ken instantly appeared directly above the fused guard and flipped downward with a sharp overhead kick.
The fused guard's expression changed dramatically. He raised both arms and blocked Ken's kick.
Bang!
Ken's foot struck the fused guard's arms.
The fused guard grimaced from the pain.
Bang, bang, bang!
Ken increased the force of his attacks and unleashed a storm of punches and kicks at the fused guard.
For a time, the fused guard could only defend.
In less than three seconds, the fused guard shifted from defense to offense.
After all, the fused guard had all kinds of unusual techniques.
Ken and the fused guard were both level 80.
In terms of combat technique, the fused guard held a slight advantage.
As for Ken, what he had was Ultra Instinct.
Ultra Instinct was a miraculous skill Angels naturally possessed. It had been personally developed by the Grand Priest, who turned it into a rule for Angels to use.
But at Ken and the guards' current level, Ultra Instinct no longer looked quite as overwhelming.
In truth, Ultra Instinct was essentially a dodging technique.
Or rather, it had an extremely strong self-preservation effect.
Only when your Angel power far surpassed your opponent's could you truly crush them with it.
But when both sides were at the same level, Ultra Instinct was actually at a disadvantage compared to other techniques.
The fused guard counterattacked very quickly, launching a series of punches at Ken.
Ken barely dodged the combo with Ultra Instinct.
"Let's see how long you can keep dodging!" the fused guard snorted. "The power of this fist technique can keep stacking. By the time I reach the 9,999th punch, you definitely won't dodge the 10,000th!"
As he spoke, the fused guard punched rapidly.
At the fused guard's level, he could throw thousands of punches in an instant.
He said 9,999 punches, but in reality, it took only about a second.
"Here comes the 10,000th punch!" the fused guard shouted, swinging his fist toward Ken once more.
This punch carried immense pressure, as if sealing off every path of retreat around Ken.
Ken had nowhere to dodge.
"This one is definitely going to hurt!" the fused guard said, his smile growing brighter.
Ken silently watched, his heart tightening slightly.
The fused guard was right. If this punch landed, it would definitely hurt.
From Ken's perspective, the fused guard's fists looked like a downpour, making them incredibly hard to avoid.
At the very least, Ken felt that he would not be able to dodge this with Ultra Instinct.
But that was not a problem.
Snap!
Golden light flashed over Ken's body.
Only for a brief instant.
At that moment, Ken activated his Super Angel transformation.
The next second, Ken calmly extended one finger and used it to stop the fused guard's final punch.
After transforming into a Super Angel, Ken could clearly capture the exact position of that punch.
Snap!
The fused guard's fist struck Ken's finger. He froze slightly, and his pupils shrank.
"You… you cheated!" the fused guard shouted through gritted teeth, his face changing again and again.
Bang!
Ken showed no mercy and kicked the fused guard.
The fused guard flew backward several thousand meters. Light flickered around his body, and he finally stopped in the World of Void.
Ken returned to normal and leisurely arrived in front of the fused guard.
"Shameless!" the fused guard said, gnashing his teeth with hatred.
"I never said I wouldn't transform during the fight," Ken said with a smile.
The fused guard trembled with anger.
If you transform to fight me, how are we supposed to fight at all?
"Come on, continue." Ken beckoned. "Fighting you is pretty interesting."
"Don't transform if you have the nerve!" the fused guard snorted.
"Fine. I'll listen to you. I won't transform." Ken nodded in agreement.
In truth, the main reason Ken had come to fight the fused guard was to sharpen his own combat ability.
The fused guard was the same.
If Ken transformed into a Super Angel to fight him, then there would be no point in training his battle ability.
"By the way, how long can this fusion of yours last?" Ken did not attack immediately and asked instead.
"As long as we want. If we want to separate, we can separate at any time," the fused guard replied.
Snap!
As he spoke, the fused guard's body split in two, becoming the Left Guard and Right Guard again.
"See? We separated just like that. It's that simple," the Left Guard and Right Guard said in unison.
It seemed the two of them had not fully recovered from the fused state, which was why they spoke the same words at the same time.
"What about fusing again? Is there no cooldown?" Ken asked.
"No cooldown," the Left Guard replied. "But we do need to perform the dance again."
As he spoke, the Left Guard and Right Guard pulled apart again and nodded to each other.
Then the two began performing a strange dance in the distance.
Ken watched closely and realized the two of them were doing something that looked a lot like Ke Mu San, a ridiculous viral dance from his past life.
A stiff version of Ke Mu San. Their bodies were not fluid enough, no wonder he had not recognized it earlier.
The main reason was that Ken had crossed over a very long time ago. It was normal that he did not recognize it at first glance.
But now that he looked carefully…
Damn it, this was definitely the stiff version of Ke Mu San.
Only after finishing Ke Mu San did the Left Guard and Right Guard use the ordinary Fusion Dance to fuse.
Ken was speechless. He even held his forehead and silently wiped away sweat.
So this so-called Super Fusion Technique is just Ke Mu San plus the Fusion Dance?
Ken swung the scepter in his hand sharply.
A surge of invisible Angel power rapidly covered the Right Guard's body.
Then something shocking happened.
Ken was startled to see light flash over the Right Guard's body.
And then, nothing.
The next moment, the Left Guard and Right Guard bent their bodies, and the fingers of their hands touched.
The Left Guard's fingers were slightly misaligned with the Right Guard's.
However, Ken sharply noticed that the two guards' fingers seemed to be like a pair of magnets.
Click!
Their fingers aligned perfectly.
Then the bodies of the Left Guard and Right Guard overlapped and returned to the fused guard's form.
Ken fell silent.
Ken sighed repeatedly, staring in surprise at the fused guards.
"I forgot to tell you. During the process of our fusion, we are invincible," the guard said with a smile.
"Invincible?" Ken was speechless.
However, Ken had also noticed just now that the Angel power he attacked with had been silently neutralized by the Right Guard.
It did feel somewhat invincible.
"During your fusion process, even if the Grand Priest attacked you, you could block it?" Ken asked curiously.
"That's right." The guard nodded. "We've even tested it before. During the process of our fusion, even Zeno-sama cannot erase us."
"Isn't that great? If you keep using the fusion process over and over, you can become truly invincible," Ken said as an idea suddenly came to him.
"What are you thinking?" the guard said, looking sideways at Ken. "The fusion process only lasts that long. The process itself and the exact moment of fusion are invincible. Once the fusion is complete, we're no longer invincible."
"I've got it. After fusing, you can instantly separate, then repeat the fusion process again. Wouldn't that let you stay invincible forever?" Ken's eyes lit up as he thought of a great method.
The guard fell silent.
The guard truly did not know what to say.
"That idea actually doesn't seem wrong," the guard said with a serious nod.
Ken was completely right.
They could indeed separate immediately after completing the fusion, then continue dancing again.
"However… there is a brief instant of vulnerability when we separate," the guard said thoughtfully.
"Then start the fusion process directly the moment you separate," Ken suggested.
"We've never tried that…" The guard shook his head, then suddenly asked, "But what would be the point? Other than being invincible, I still wouldn't be able to attack my opponent."
"You could stall for time and wait for reinforcements," Ken said with a smile.
"Wait for reinforcements?" The guard immediately laughed. "At my level, do I still need to wait for some other god to rescue me? The only ones who can kill me are Zeno-sama and the Grand Priest."
"And me." Ken grinned, showing a row of white teeth.
To make the guard believe him, Ken deliberately released blinding golden light from his body.
The guard fell silent.
The guard instantly felt his heart hurt.
"You… What do you mean? Are you trying to kill me?" the guard asked, his expression changing slightly.
Because the guard knew very well that Ken was right.
If Ken transformed into a Super Angel, he really had the ability to kill him.
"Try the invincible state I just mentioned. The moment you separate, immediately use the fusion technique again. I want to see whether I can damage you," Ken said thoughtfully.
"You… Are you treating me like a lab rat?" the fused guard shouted angrily.
"You don't get a choice!" Ken stopped wasting words and directly activated his Super Angel transformation.
The guard's mouth twitched, and his face instantly turned pale.
Cheating again!
"Hurry up," Ken urged.
Merus watched the scene thoughtfully from the side.
What is Ken trying to do?
Why did he suddenly start studying the Super Fusion Technique?
"You…" The guard gritted his teeth, knowing he was absolutely no match for Ken in that transformed state.
Snap!
The next moment, the fused guard's body split in two, becoming the Left Guard and Right Guard.
The instant the fused guard separated, Ken charged forward at high speed and pressed his hand down on the Right Guard's head.
The Right Guard had only just separated, and his mind was still in the fused state, but Ken was already holding his head and dragging him away.
The Right Guard felt like his entire mental state was about to collapse.
Immediately afterward, however, the Right Guard began the movements for the Super Fusion Technique.
Ken was surprised to find that the Right Guard's head, which he had been pressing down, vanished in an instant.
It was as if the thing under his hand had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
What a strange feeling.
Ken looked back and saw the Left Guard and Right Guard behind him dancing.
Snap!
Ken raised his hand, and the scepter in his hand suddenly appeared directly above the Right Guard.
Whoosh!
A beam of light from the crystal ball on the scepter rapidly spread down and landed on the Right Guard.
"My Angel power is constantly attacking you so I can test exactly when your invincible state disappears. Once it does, you're going to be in trouble, so be very careful," Ken reminded the Right Guard.
The Right Guard fell silent.
His mentality truly shattered.
"Hey, don't just target me!" the Right Guard could not help shouting.
"Are you Little Lefty or Little Righty?" Ken asked.
"Are you Righty or Lefty?" Ken asked.
"Righty!" the Right Guard barked.
Then he froze.
"Wait—don't call me that! I'm the Right Guard!"
"I thought you were Little Lefty. You two look exactly alike, so it's normal that I can't tell," Ken said thoughtfully.
The Right Guard bared his teeth.
However, even though the Right Guard looked furious, his dance movements remained extremely skilled.
"You can actually talk during the fusion process?" Ken was a little surprised.
"Of course. Since it's an invincible state, speaking is allowed. We just can't perform other movements," the Left Guard added from the side.
"Impressive." Ken gave the two of them a thumbs-up.
The Left Guard and Right Guard finally finished the dance.
Ken's attacks on the Right Guard through the scepter had all completely failed.
This proved that the two of them were indeed invincible during the fusion process.
Snap!
The Left Guard and Right Guard's figures gradually overlapped, completing the fusion once more.
"Now you understand, right?" the fused guard snorted, looking at Ken with some pride.
"Mhm." Ken nodded.
"Hurry up and return to normal. Let's continue," the fused guard suggested.
"Was that Ke mu san you were dancing just now?" Ken even started to wonder whether these two guards had crossed over too.
They actually knew that stupid dance.
"What?" the fused guard froze, completely confused.
"Not important." Ken gently shook his head.
The fused guard fell silent.
What do you mean, not important?
Explain yourself, would you?
"Can you teach me this Super Fusion Technique?" Ken asked.
"Hmph, dream on," the fused guard snorted.
"Fine. Then I'll just have to beat the two of you properly." Ken showed no mercy and remained in his Super Angel transformation.
Whoosh!
Ken appeared in front of the fused guard in an instant, moving so fast the fused guard had no time to react.
Bang!
Ken punched the fused guard in the nose.
The fused guard screamed in pain.
Immediately afterward, the fused guard counterattacked, throwing a punch at Ken.
Snap!
Ken raised his hand, caught the fused guard's attack, grabbed his fist, and began swinging his body around in circles.
One circle.
Two circles.
Three circles.
Ken spun faster and faster.
Because Ken was rotating so quickly, a layer of dark space actually appeared in that region of the World of Void.
Whoosh!
Ken released his grip, and the guard flew straight out.
Ken pursued him and appeared above the fused guard in an instant.
Bang!
Ken kicked the fused guard in the face, leaving a shoeprint on it.
"Aaagh!"
The fused guard howled in pain.
Ken launched another fierce attack at the fused guard.
The guard had no strength to resist at all.
It was worth mentioning that after transforming into a Super Angel, Ken had risen by two levels, reaching level 82.
Although the Left Guard and Right Guard had completed their fusion, they had only barely reached level 80.
With a gap of two levels between them, the two guards were naturally no match for him.
