Chapter 201: Ultimate Death Ray, I Kill Myself!
Chthon withdrew the surging Black Magic divine power all over his body, and his emotions calmed down a bit.
"Mage."
"You keep saying that I have already fallen behind the times."
"You feel that the Universe has changed and is no longer the Universe I am familiar with."
"Today, I will make you see the reality clearly."
"I have never fallen behind!"
"This World will never change!"
Chthon's eyes suddenly burst out two crimson and dazzling beams of light.
Extending up to millions of kilometers away, it directly dyed the surrounding starry sky into blood red.
"Today."
"Let you gain some knowledge and see the terror of pure Black Magic!"
"Taste this move——Ultimate Death Ray!"
Chthon raised his hand and pointed forward fiercely.
A terrifyingly green Death ray instantly formed at his fingertips.
This green light was simply more dazzling than the green hat on some unlucky guy's head.
Just a glance at it would make the hair all over one's body stand on end.
Ryan sensed the aura in the beam a little bit.
Goodness gracious, this feeling was simply like the Goddess of Death, one of the top five deities, descending in person!
Ryan did not hesitate at all and waved his hand.
A golden shield directly lay horizontally in front of him.
The eerie green ray hit the shield, instantly dyeing the golden shield a miserable green like a green-haired turtle.
"Ding!"
"Chthon's Ultimate Death Ray is carrying out a forced Death judgment on your [Shield of the Seraphim]."
"If the judgment fails, your [Shield of the Seraphim] will drop dead on the spot."
"Unfortunately, your [Shield of the Seraphim] failed to pass the judgment."
"Your [Shield of the Seraphim] is completely dead."
"System automatic resurrection program has been activated..."
"Congratulations! Your [Shield of the Seraphim] has been fully resurrected with full health!"
Ryan:???
Can it even be played like this? Countdown in place and resurrected with full health?
Is the resurrection skill as casual as eating and drinking? Does this not even require paying the slightest price?
"System, to forcibly resurrect the Shield of the Seraphim, what price do I need to pay?"
"Completely free, no need to pay any price."
"The energy consumed by resurrection is minimal and can be directly ignored."
Ryan:???
Besides shouting "Awesome, System" in his heart, what else could he say?
Ryan frantically gave thumbs-up to the system.
On the other hand, Chthon opposite him was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
He stared at his own fingertips with a face full of horror.
Something is wrong!
The one just fired was definitely the genuine Ultimate Death Ray.
This was a taboo killing move that forcibly urged the laws of the Goddess of Death with the help of Black Magic.
Although the power is not as good as the Goddess of Death herself.
But this is a killing move used to deal with mortals! The lethality is definitely at the level of destroying heaven and Earth.
As long as the divine fire is not ignited and the life level has not leaped to become a god.
Encountering this move.
Will definitely die completely on the spot!
He could see through at a glance that although Ryan was ridiculously strong.
There was simply no divine power in his body!
As long as he is not a god, how could he still be alive after hard-carrying this Death ray?
But.
Looking at the lively Ryan opposite.
Chthon even began to doubt whether he had recited the spell wrong just now.
"How is it possible that you are completely fine!"
"Beneath the gods, anyone who takes this magic move has absolutely no possibility of surviving!"
"Could it be that you have quietly ignited the divine fire and become a god?"
"No! There is no divinity on your body at all!"
Chthon couldn't help roaring out losing his voice.
His vision will never go wrong, Ryan is still a mortal!
Chthon got anxious and raised his finger again.
The green ray bombarded out again, heading straight for Ryan's face.
Ryan raised his hand and summoned.
The Shield of the Seraphim went up against it again.
The green light burst.
The Shield of the Seraphim died once more.
Followed closely by.
The Shield of the Seraphim resurrected lively again.
Ryan stood in the back the whole time, not even a single strand of hair was hurt.
This absurd scene shattered Chthon's worldview on the spot.
"Something must have gone wrong somewhere!"
"How can a mere mortal block a god's killing move?"
Chthon really did not believe in evil, and seriously suspected in his heart whether the spell he released had malfunctioned.
Green light lit up at his fingertips again, and inexplicably, he backhanded and poked himself!
"Awoo---!!!"
Chthon, like a wild dog whose tail was stepped on, let out an Earth-shattering scream.
The dignified ancient god.
Now hurting like a wronged little daughter-in-law, a few drops of hot tears actually burst out from the corners of his eyes.
Nick Fury, who had been closely monitoring the situation far away on Earth, was dumbfounded.
Ryan was also stunned.
This old guy.
Having absorbed so much dark power just now, could he have burned his brain out?
If you can't beat them, just play self-mutilation?! I kill myself??
Chthon is indeed an ancient god, and his vitality is very tenacious.
Hard-carrying his own ultimate move like nothing happened, he recovered in just a few breaths.
"My magic has no problem at all!"
"It's definitely you kid who has a problem!"
"Your defense means are too weird!"
"However, how could it be blocked?"
Chthon stared fixedly at Ryan, his mind full of paste.
Ultimate Death Ray, this is a killing move that strikes the soul directly.
No matter what physical defense, energy shield, or magicbarrier it is, encountering this move will be regarded as nothing and directly penetrated.
Only by bombarding the soul itself will the ray stop.
Because of this, Chthon didn't think about the aspect of "the opponent using a Magic Shield to resist" at all.
But right now.
Ryan happened to use an ordinary Magic Shield to forcefully intercept the Death ray!
Chthon was completely confused.
He even began to doubt the operating laws of the whole World now.
Could it really be like this kid said.
The rules of the Universe are all out of order?
Why can a broken shield block soul penetration attacks?
This fucking isn't magic at all!
"Impossible."
"There is definitely something fishy."
"Eat another Ultimate Death Ray from me!"
This time.
Chthon held his breath and charged up for a long time.
A miserable green light beam ten times thicker than before shot out with a roar.
Ryan casually summoned, and a golden shield lit up in front of him as usual.
Boom!
The thick green light hit the shield and once again dissipated without a trace.
Chthon was even more disheveled.
His brain cramped, and he once again doubted whether his ultimate move had really passed its shelf life.
Chthon gritted his teeth.
Backhanded himself with another one!
"Awoo!!!"
Another heartbreaking scream resounded through the starry sky.
Nick Fury in the S.W.O.R.D. Base held his head with both hands, simply amazed as a celestial being.
Ryan was too fierce.
Simply fierce beyond measure.
Actually forced an ancient Loki into a mentally retarded person!
...
Chthon was shivering in pain, with only one thought in his heart.
The times have really changed.
The young mages nowadays do not talk about martial arts at all.
Actually using such weird means to cheat and sneak attack an old comrade who is billions of years old.
Is this appropriate?
Chthon really wanted to advise him to take care of himself.
But he looked up at Ryan, who was holding his shoulders and watching monkey shows.
Chthon bit and broke a mouthful of old teeth.
He changed his mind.
He must twist this kid's head off and kick it like a ball.
To hell with taking care of yourself!
"Mage."
"Although I can't figure out how you blocked the Deathray."
"However!"
"You completely pissed me off today!"
Chthon roared with a ferocious expression.
Recalling the scene just now where he used his ultimate move to bombard himself like a complete fool.
Chthon only felt his old face burning hot, wishing he was dead out of shame and anger.
The intense sense of shame instantly transformed into monstrous anger.
He frantically searched his mind for tens of thousands of the most cruel punishments.
Falling into the hands of him, the originator of Black Magic.
Sometimes.
Directly crushing the soul and granting Death is instead a great grace.
Chapter 202: Utterly devastating, a furious Chthon!
Chthon stared fixedly at Rayne.
Rayne didn't take it seriously at all.
"Are you serious?"
"After all this time, were you just messing with me the whole while?"
"Chthon."
"Your attitude towards fighting is quite problematic!"
"Since we're fighting, pull out some real skills and perk up for me!"
Rayne's tone was quite serious.
"What the f—"
Chthon almost broke out in a curse.
What kind of bizarre freak was this human in front of him?
This is a life-and-death battle, can you be serious!
Chthon glanced at Rayne.
The red light in his eye sockets suddenly shrank.
Alarm bells rang wildly in Rayne's heart.
His body relied on instinct to instantly shift sideways.
A dark beam, almost invisible to the naked eye, grazed past his side.
The aura was extremely sinister.
Rayne knew clearly that with his current physique, if he were hit by a sneak attack, he might end up severely injured on the spot.
"I really couldn't tell, the dignified ancestor of Black Magicwould actually play dirty and launch a sneak attack."
"Have you lost your shame completely?"
Rayne's tone was calm.
Attempting to disrupt Chthon's mindset through words.
When experts exchange blows, attacking the mind comes first.
"I am the god of the underworld."
"What's new about a sneak attack?"
Chthon's tone was icy cold, and his state seemed to have stabilized again.
Rayne was stunned.
He actually felt it made complete sense.
Experiencing what it means to be speechless for the first time.
The ancient god of the underworld, the founding ancestor of Black Magic, was not a good bird to begin with.
Playing underhanded tricks suited his identity far too well.
Rayne's expression turned serious.
He had run into a tough opponent.
The thickness of the old monster's skin was definitely no less than his own!
The usual routine of standing on the moral high ground to berate people had hit a wall today.
It seemed the old fellow's irritability earlier had all been an act.
Rayne was carefully sizing up Chthon.
Another invisible fatal strike quietly attacked, which Rayne nimbly dodged.
"Are you ever going to finish?"
"Chthon, do you really take me for a live target?"
"Eat my punch!"
Rayne roared, his whole body bursting with brilliant silvery-white flowing light, instantly maxing out Natural Ultra Instinct.
Chthon was greatly alarmed.
He had personally experienced the weight of Rayne's fists.
He hurriedly waved one hand.
A layer of deep black film immediately appeared on the surface of his body, specially used to cushion physical impact.
At the same time, he set his stance, preparing to endure it hard and instantly counterkill afterwards.
Who would have known.
After waiting for a long time, the expected heavy punch didn't smash over at all.
Golden light flourished at Rayne's fingertips, and a golden lightning bolt like a spiritual snake coming out of its cave slashed straight down towards Chthon's face.
"You little bastard..."
Chthon only had time to spit out half a curse word.
He didn't even have time to switch his defensive spell.
The golden thunder directly plastered all over his face.
"Crackling!"
Chthon's whole body convulsed, like a toad that had been electrocuted, shaking endlessly.
The dignified god of the underworld was regretting so much in his heart that it was bleeding at this moment.
Why!
Why was he so stupid!
He actually believed a human's nonsense!
This brat had zero bottom line, actually playing a diversionary tactic.
In the ancient era, where had he ever seen such a shameless, slippery scoundrel?
Yelling about throwing a punch in his mouth, but casting magic behind his back.
The demeanor of a powerhouse shattered all over the ground.
Chthon even felt immensely aggrieved.
Everyone was a top-tier expert in the Universe.
A sneak attack in the open would be fine, not being able to defend against it meant his skills were not refined enough.
However, lying and deceiving people!
Too shameless, there was no martial virtue to speak of!
The golden thunder raged wildly in space, illuminating half of the starry sky brightly.
The dark divine power within Chthon's body frantically counterattacked, desperately holding off the golden lightning.
Lightning lacked follow-up support after all.
It was worn out before long.
Chthon's face was full of mockery.
"Brat, using this kind of move to deal with me?"
"Although this deity created Black Magic."
"It doesn't mean I don't understand white magic."
"Bozart's spells, right? Just a junior's little trick."
"And you delusionally think you can shake me? Keep dreaming!"
Chthon's dark divine power surged wildly around him, with a terrifying momentum, giving off a world-destroying aura.
Rayne wasn't flustered at all.
"Take my punch!"
Silvery-white light burst from his body again, posing in a stance of swinging a heavy punch.
A sneer pulled at the corner of Chthon's mouth.
"Brat."
"Do you really think this deity is a fool who would fall into the same pit twice?"
"Save it, the same routine!"
"Is absolutely ineffective against me!"
Chthon roared aloud.
Before his voice fell.
A heart-rending, severe pain came directly from his face.
Rayne didn't cast magic this time, and his fist smashed solidly onto it!
"Ding!"
"Your Natural Ultra Instinct has received the host's personal teachings and example."
"Your Natural Ultra Instinct has comprehended the truth of actual combat: all is fair in war, true and false intertwined!"
"Your Natural Ultra Instinct has undergone a transformation. Attacks will now be accompanied by random critical hits, triggering a critical hit will cause ten times the destructive power!"
Rayne was stunned for a moment.
Then ecstasy surged in his heart.
His double fists poured wildly onto Chthon's huge face like a violent storm.
Because the Ancient God's body shape was too huge.
The surface area of his face was astonishing, and Rayne couldn't break through his defense for a moment.
"As expected of an ancient old monster."
"The thickness of his face is indeed much stronger than ordinary people."
Rayne mocked while beating him.
"Ant, you are looking for death!"
Chthon was so angry he was about to explode on the spot.
This bastard human!
Beating people was one thing, but he was also making personal attacks!
Intolerable bullying!
Chthon's eyes spewed Fire.
He directly swung his thick arm in a full circle, fiercely slapping his own cheek, attempting to slap Rayne to death.
"Slap!"
A heaven-shaking loud noise echoed in space.
Two ghastly White, huge teeth flew out of Chthon's mouth.
It can be seen how ruthlessly Chthon treated himself.
Earth, S.W.O.R.D. Base.
Nick Fury was completely dumbfounded watching this.
He clearly saw that the second before the palm fell, Rayne had already teleported away.
Chthon's slap landed completely and utterly on his own face.
Fury helplessly sighed.
Rayne this mage was too bizarre.
It would be fine if his lethality was strong, but messing with people's mindsets was number one in the Universe.
This heart-wrenching move was absolute perfection!
Misfortune and fortune depend on each other.
The sky-covering, massive body endowed Chthon with matchless, terrifying monster strength.
Even without using a shred of divine power, purely relying on physical body alone.
He could easily tear a Planet into two halves like cracking open a walnut.
However.
The downside of being too bulky was equally obvious.
Not only did he have to endure exaggerated gravitational constraints.
Action flexibility was discounted even more heavily.
Just like just now.
Rayne effortlessly teleported to avoid the attack.
Chthon's world-destroying slap landed solidly right on his own face.
Using too much force, he forcefully slapped away two of his own teeth.
How hard is a god's body?
Bone hardness definitely crushed the top-tier alloys in the Universe.
Not to mention the hardest teeth in his entire body.
Thanos's proud double-bladed sword, in front of a god's teeth, was probably about the same as a piece of tender tofu.
Such hard divine teeth.
Were yet forcefully slapped flying by Chthon himself.
It can be seen how fierce the slap's force was, and how deep his anger toward Rayne was in his heart.
Chapter 203: Phantoms Toy with the Ancient God, Black Holes Obliterate Everything! However...
Seeing that Ryan was completely unharmed,
the anger deep within Chthon's heart was completely ignited.
"Little bug."
"I've changed my mind. I certainly won't let you die easily."
"I want you to properly taste what the most vicious Black Magic in this World is like!"
"I will imprison your soul and torture you until the Universeis completely destroyed!"
Chthon uttered the most vicious curse.
He stared fixedly at Ryan, his eyes filled with violent rage.
Good thing his eyes were naturally red.
Otherwise, Ryan would have been genuinely afraid he'd bleed from his eyes on the spot out of pure anger.
"Chthon."
"Haven't you lived long enough to understand that running your mouth is completely useless?"
"Especially since we're still fighting!"
Ryan's voice was still echoing in space.
The next second,
his figure had already appeared like a ghost right in front of Chthon.
This speed was simply outrageously fast.
Even light couldn't capture his movement trajectory.
His entire person seemed to have completely broken free from the shackles of time, and absolutely no one could see how he pulled it off.
He stood his ground.
He threw a punch.
A brilliant silver-white flowing light instantly enveloped Ryan's fist.
Although in front of Chthon's massive body, Ryan didn't even amount to a single hair,
yet this seemingly ordinary punch brought unimaginable, excruciating pain to Chthon.
The dignified ancient God of Black Magic
was now like a punk in a street brawl who had been punched in the stomach, bending over in agony with his facial features twisted together.
Chthon let out a muddled, shrill scream, but deep within his eyes, a trace of vengeful glee flashed eerily.
"Ash of Darkness! End of Time!"
As soon as the words fell,
a terrifying scene resembling an ancient purgatory descended.
Layer upon layer of dense, unmelting darkness erupted explosively around Chthon.
This darkness was like countless invisible giant hands, instantly trapping Ryan tightly in the center.
Ryan instantly felt the flow of time around him plunge into complete disorder, and could even clearly feel his vitality rapidly draining away.
So Chthon's lack of defense earlier was just an act!
Knowing he couldn't beat Ryan in terms of speed, he actually used himself as bait, taking a punch head-on just to set up this fatal trap.
At this moment,
Ryan seemed to have completely fallen into a desperate situation with no way out!
The situation was extremely critical!
"How is it, little bug?"
"Doesn't this taste feel pretty good?"
"This is the purest Law of Darkness!"
"Your soul will be forever imprisoned in this endless dark cage!"
"I will watch from the outside with my own eyes as you slowly descend into madness and finally face complete destruction!"
Chthon's voice leaked uncontainable excitement.
He was very clear that the cruelest torture in the Worldwas never physical, but rather mental devastation.
Locking a person inside an absolutely silent, absolutely lightless void space,
and cutting off all connection with the outside World—
let alone ordinary people failing to last a single day,
even superheroes with the most formidable mental strength could never withstand this day-in, day-out torment.
He wanted to make this bastard Ryan truly experience the despair of wanting neither life nor death!
"Enjoy your remaining long years."
"My prisoner!"
"Hahaha!"
Chthon laughed wildly and audaciously, waving his large hand abruptly.
The boundless dark space instantly contracted and closed.
In the end, it turned into a fist-sized black sphere, quietly floating in his palm.
A smug smile pulled at the corner of Chthon's mouth.
He
had finally dealt with this damned human!
Stowing away the black sphere, Chthon prepared to set off for Earth to harvest the Chaos Magic fruit he had plotted for so long.
The moment he raised his head,
however, he abruptly discovered that an extremely familiar figure was brazenly blocking his path ahead.
"Hi."
"Aren't you pleasantly surprised to see me?"
Ryan greeted him with a smile.
Chthon's expression changed wildly. Like someone electrocuted, he pulled out the black sphere and hurriedly opened it.
He saw that the Ryan trapped inside the sphere was gradually turning into nothingness and dissipating.
This turned out to be merely a phantom clone!
"This is impossible! When did you switch it?!"
Chthon wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost, completely unable to accept this reality.
Exactly when
did this fellow slip away like a cicada shedding its shell?
How could a mere clone erupt with such terrifying lethality and beat him up so painfully!
"Chthon! I've always prioritized safety above all else."
"Fighting an old monster like you, leaving a backup plan beforehand should be quite reasonable, right?"
The smile on Ryan's face grew increasingly radiant.
Chthon only felt a surge of rebellious blood rush straight to his crown. His eyes instantly bloodshot, he wished he could pounce forward and tear Ryan to shreds alive.
Standing in place, Ryan didn't take the other's murderous gaze seriously at all.
"Ding!"
"Your Chaos Orb has eaten and drunk its fill, completely draining the divine power of darkness."
"Extremely chaotic energy fluctuations detected within the enemy's body. Your Chaos Orb's excitement is maxed out, and its power has received an epic critical-strike enhancement!"
"Your Chaos Orb is about to trigger indiscriminate absolute annihilation. Please host immediately pack your bucket and run away, and pay attention to safety by taking cover."
The system's broadcast sounded in his mind.
Ryan raised an eyebrow, surprisingly hearing a trace of solemnity from the system's tone for once.
This was a rare sight indeed.
However, Ryan was always one to take good advice.
He would never gamble his life on the upper limit of the system's magic power.
"Chthon."
"If you've got guts, come over and kill me!"
"Eat my punch!"
Ryan let out a roar, striking a rushing stance.
However,
this time, what condensed in his palm was no longer a dazzling silver-white light,
but a mass of blackness profound to the extreme.
This was a colorful shade of black.
Clearly looking pitch-black like ink, it seemed to contain all the colors in the Universe flowing wildly within it.
By this time, Chthon's eyes had long since turned red with anger.
Throwing caution to the wind, he frantically squeezed out the remaining Dark Origin within his body.
Meeting Ryan's fist, he slammed into it fiercely!
Hum!
As soon as the two distinctly different forces touched, an extremely compressed black singularity instantly erupted.
Following closely,
resembling the replay of the Big Bang, the violent energy instantly devoured everything around.
No matter what kind of matter it was,
in front of this constantly expanding black sphere, it was like paper, instantly decomposed into the most primitive elementary particles.
Judging by this terrifying expansion speed,
before long, the entire Solar System would be completely wiped out.
Just at this critical juncture,
a strange fluctuation suddenly rippled through space.
Every celestial body within the entire Solar Systeminstantly vanished out of thin air from this patch of the Universe.
It was as if an invisible hand of creation forcefully dragged the Solar System into another parallel dimension,
averting this catastrophic disaster.
Losing its target, the black fluctuation spread uninhibitedly deep within the Universe.
Countless meteors, comets, and interstellar dust along the way were all ruthlessly devoured.
This star sector seemed to have been completely formatted, clean enough to give people the creeps.
The black sphere expanded until it was fully twice the size of the Solar System before it finally exhausted its energy and slowly dissipated.
Within this vast affected area,
only a dead, pure vacuum remained, without even a shred of debris left behind.
Of course,
Chthon, the ancient god of the underworld who had been so insufferably arrogant just moments ago, was also completely blown to ashes and vanished without a trace.
The next second,
spatial ripples flashed through the void once more.
The entire Solar System was teleported back to its original coordinates completely intact.
Everything looked as if nothing had ever happened.
Only that
in outer space, that massive demonic shadow that blotted out the sky could no longer be found.
...
Outer space.
Still mysterious, still dead silent.
However,
space now seemed even emptier than usual.
Earth.
S.W.O.R.D. Base.
Nick Fury stared fixedly at the big screen before him, feeling as though he was about to go crazy.
"What did you just say? Say it to me again."
"In just under a minute like this,"
"the entire Kuiper Belt is completely gone? Not even a trace of slag is left?"
"Even the moons of several surrounding planets evaporated along with it?"
Fury rubbed his temples, questioning incredulously.
"Yes, Director."
"The Kuiper Belt has completely vanished from the star map; not even a single fragment of debris can be observed."
The monitoring Agent swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
"Alright, I get it. You can head out first."
Nick Fury waved his hand, speaking powerlessly.
He slumped in his chair with a darkened old face, his mood simply atrocious to the extreme.
The Kuiper Belt—that was the largest asteroid belt on the edge of the Solar System!
Spanning beyond Neptune's orbit,
it had a span of over forty astronomical units.
Translated into Earth's concepts, that was a vast distance of nearly six billion kilometers.
Even if an ordinary person lived for ten lifetimes, they couldn't finish walking this distance.
And yet,
such a massive stellar region
was just completely swept away in those few short minutes moments ago?
Chapter 204: Devouring the Godhood, the New Master of Black Magic!
Nick Fury smacked his lips.
It seemed that Reyne's strength was probably much more terrifying than he had imagined.
"It can also be considered a blessing in disguise."
"Although the asteroid belt is gone, the monster has finally been completely dealt with."
"Earth is finally safe..."
Nick Fury hadn't even finished speaking when his entire body froze as if he had been electrocuted.
He stared intently at the big screen.
As he watched, the depths of the Universe, which had just regained clarity, instantly plunged into a suffocating darkness once again.
A massive shadow that blotted out the sky slowly emerged in space once again.
Nick Fury's mind went blank, and he was completely dumbfounded.
...
On the other side.
Reyne stood quietly in the vacuum of the Universe.
With his arms crossed over his chest, he seemed to have anticipated that Chthon would reappear long ago.
"As expected of a monster from the ancient era, its life is truly tough."
Reyne sighed indifferently.
The reason gods are called gods, besides mastering heaven-destroying and Earth-shattering powers, is primarily due to one critical point.
They are almost unkillable existences.
Unless their own faith collapses or the laws of the Universe are rewritten, gods are equivalent to being immortal.
Take the creator god Eternity for example.
Even if you blast the opponent's physical body into slag, or even completely scatter their divine power.
But as long as life throughout the entire Universe still holds the concepts of 'the passage of time and eternal existence'.
Eternity will never truly fall.
This is the perverted aspect of gods as the embodiment of rules.
Reyne had long guessed that Chthon wouldn't die so easily.
Sure enough, the opponent came out bouncing around again.
"Human mage."
"I have to admit that the power of your magic truly exceeds my imagination. Even Gaea back then did not have such outrageous destructive power."
"However, you cannot kill me!"
"And this deity has endless years to play with you slowly!"
Chthon's figure rapidly reassembled in the Universe.
The massive body once again blocked the light of the Sun.
"My power is endless and bottomless."
"And you, after all, will eventually have a moment when your magic power is exhausted."
"Today, you are destined to die at my hands!"
Chthon's voice was like a booming bell as he loudly uttered harsh threats.
As soon as those words fell,
Reyne's body suddenly swerved to the side, narrowly dodging an invisible Shadow ripple by sheer instinct.
Clearly.
Chthon, this old slicker, was playing the despicable trick of launching a sneak attack while uttering harsh words once again.
After experiencing the recent severe beating,
Reyne found that Chthon seemed to have suddenly become enlightened,
finally understanding the hard truth that if you can use your hands, never flap your gums.
Immediately following that,
countless Shadow magic orbs and curse halos, like a dense meteor shower, smashed toward Reyne all over the sky.
Under the bombardment of Black Magic,
Reyne seemed like a solitary boat amidst raging waves, looking like it was in danger of capsizing at any moment.
Chthon had learned to be smart now.
No longer going head-to-head with Reyne, he instead intended to use his own inexhaustible source magic power to wear Reyne to death.
If it were replaced by any other mage,
facing this kind of rogue tactic, his magic power would probably have been exhausted long ago, and he would have met his demise on the spot.
What a pity,
Reyne was a thorough cheater.
The grass on the graves of enemies who previously wanted to contest consumption with him was already several feet high.
The magic power reserves inside Reyne's body would make even ordinary dimensional demon gods drool at the sight.
Chthon calculating like this was purely being blind.
Reyne strolled leisurely through the dense magic rain, easily dodging without rushing to counterattack.
He was pondering
exactly what he needed to do to completely kill Chthon so that not even slag was left.
If he didn't cut the weeds and eliminate the roots,
this fellow might jump out to disgust people any day now, and this was not Reyne's style of doing things.
"Ding!"
"To completely wipe out a god, the only way is to destroy and seize the opponent's core laws!"
"Your [Infinite Devouring] is eager to try, requesting to go into battle, and swearing to help you finish off the strong enemy before you!"
"Your [Infinite Devouring] states that it has been feeling a bit weak lately, urgently needing a catty of high-quality wolfberries soaked in water to drink before it can erupt with its strongest power!"
After hearing this, Reyne was covered in black lines:???
Does this [Infinite Devouring] have a major illness?
Or is all Black Magic weak and unable to accept nourishment?
Last time they fought, it asked him for Shenbao tablets, and this time it directly asked for wolfberries.
Next time if they encounter an even stronger enemy, would they have to prepare some tiger whip wine, sildenafil, or something?
While Reyne was wildly complaining in his heart, his actions with his hands were not ambiguous at all.
With a flip of his wrist,
a bag of bright red, top-grade Ningxia wolfberries directly appeared in his palm.
Immediately after,
a small black vortex emerged in his palm.
The vortex, like a starving ghost, instantly swallowed the entire bag of wolfberries clean.
Feeding completed.
Reyne casually threw the empty bag into space.
Then his figure flashed, instantly widening the distance to face Chthon's massive body directly.
"Chthon, warm-up is over. It's time to send you on your way."
"Since you are an old antique from the ancient era, you should obediently lie in the garbage heap of history."
"Stop coming out to make a fool of yourself!"
Reyne's tone was icy cold.
He raised his hand and pointed sharply forward.
A profound black vortex instantly magnified abruptly in space.
Seeing this, Chthon immediately mobilized a massive amount of Black Magic to bombard it.
However,
the moment all the attacks made contact with the black vortex, they were like clay oxen entering the sea, swallowed completely clean.
Not only that,
these attacks transformed into pure energy, feeding back to Reyne along the vortex, and were fully injected back into the vortex by Reyne, forming a perfect perpetual motion machine cycle.
The vortex expanded wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few seconds, it turned into a terrifying black hole sufficient to swallow stars.
Chthon discovered with shock
that the dark origin on his own body actually began to flow uncontrollably toward the black hole crazily.
And he couldn't even cut off the connection!
"What kind of ghost magic is this?!"
"This is simply not Infinite Devouring! How can there be such a perverted suction force?!"
"What on Earth did you do to this deity's ultimate technique?!"
Chthon's voice carried undisguised panic and fury.
He only felt his body becoming increasingly weak.
What made him feel even more creeped out
was that he was the founding master who created Infinite Devouring!
Now not only could he not control his own spell, but even his godhood origin was being forcibly stripped away!
Chthon's psychological defense line completely collapsed.
If it kept sucking like this, he would definitely die thoroughly.
He clearly felt that his own dark authority was being stripped away and replaced bit by bit.
Emotions of despair instantly overwhelmed him.
"Ding!"
"Your Black Magic origin authority has been successfully usurped by eighty percent!"
"Congratulations to the host, you are about to comprehensively replace the godhood rank of the underworld god Chthon."
"From now on, you are the ultimate source of all Black Magic in the entire Universe!"
The system's congratulatory message rang out in his mind.
Yet the expression on Reyne's face was extremely colorful.
Half was joy, half was depression.
What was joyful was that he had picked up a divine rank for free, his aura maxed out instantly, and in the future he could just lie down and collect protection fees from mages across the entire Universe.
What was depressing was
that he was clearly a politically reliable Kamar-Taj White mage.
How did he muddledly become the biggest Black Magicboss in the entire Universe?
If the Ancient One found out about this, wouldn't she be angered to the point of high blood pressure?
...
In space,
the black hole in Reyne's hand grew increasingly violent.
Chthon's proud divine methods all became a joke at this moment.
No matter how he resisted, not only could he not harm Reyne in the slightest, but instead it was like delivering takeout to the opponent.
What was even more tragic
was that Chthon despairingly discovered that he didn't even have a chance to escape.
The surrounding space had long been completely locked down by the terrifying gravitational pull.
He did not doubt at all
that if he dared to tear space apart right now, he would be instantly sucked into that bottomless black hole and torn to pieces.
As his origin was crazily drained dry,
his magic power had already hit rock bottom.
The vitality that black mages throughout the entire Universe could provide was limited; he surely couldn't uproot all the leeks.
Chthon's heart was desolate.
If no one came to save the day today,
he, a dignified ancient underworld god, was going to die aggrievedly at the hands of an Earthling.
Even if he were lucky enough to keep his life,
his laws stripped away, his divine power squeezed dry, an outcome like this was definitely ten thousand times more cruel than killing him!
Chapter 205: Looting the corpse, the Loki who died suddenly from eating goji berries!
"Human mage!"
"Are you really going to push things to the absolute limit?"
"Aren't you afraid that my friends behind me will come looking for trouble with you?"
Chthon screamed at the top of his lungs.
However, compared to his arrogant appearance just now, his current tone clearly betrayed a sense of guilt.
"A person like you has friends?"
Ryan glanced at Chthon with a look of astonishment.
According to his understanding.
Chthon's reputation among the divine circles was notoriously foul.
He was considered a legitimate deity back in the day, but he just had to go dabble in Black Magic.
His strength did increase, but his heart also completely darkened.
Back in ancient times, nobody was willing to bother with him.
Even if there were a few birds of a feather, they were all self-serving top-tier villains.
Counting on these people to risk their lives to save the day?
It was simply a colossal joke!
If these villains knew that Chthon was dying, the vast majority would only hide in the shadows and watch the show.
They might even open a bottle of champagne in advance to celebrate their competitor's demise.
The internal competition among deities was terrifying.
Especially for deities who cultivated the laws of darkness, dealing fatal blows to one another was a common occurrence.
Chthon used his friends as a threat, but Ryan didn't believe a single punctuation mark of it.
Seeing Ryan's mocking expression, Chthon knew this trick wouldn't work anymore.
In fact, he knew better than Ryan what kind of trash he associated with.
He had wanted to pull out a powerful backer to scare the other party and make him hesitate.
Who would have thought that Ryan knew so much about ancient secrets and wouldn't fall for it at all.
"Mage..."
"Name your price, what will it take for you to stop!"
"I can give you all the wealth I've accumulated over countless epochs; it's definitely an unimaginably huge sum."
"Even creation deities would turn red with envy upon seeing it!"
"I am the richest being from the ancient times!"
Chthon had no choice but to lower his posture and loudly offer temptations.
Ryan touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
Chthon's words were indeed completely true.
Back in the day, this old ghost ran amok, committing all sorts of arson, murder, and looting.
His speed at raking in gold was definitely top-tier.
Other deities still cared somewhat about face and had a bottom line in what they did.
As for this guy, he was a thorough scoundrel who dared to rob anything as long as there was a benefit.
Accumulated over many years, his family fortune must be thick enough to make one's hair stand on end.
It could definitely drive any deity crazy.
However.
Ryan was no three-year-old child.
Letting go of such a vengeful old fiend would surely leave him restless in the future!
"Chthon."
"Want to bribe me? The chips you offered are not enough."
"Besides, have you grown senile?"
"As long as I slaughter you, won't your entire family fortune be mine?"
"Could it be that you would bury your treasures in the dirt? You must carry them with you in your divine space, right?"
"If you feel unwilling, you can destroy them all right now, see if I stop you."
Ryan smiled and delivered a fatal blow.
Chthon was completely speechless.
Ryan guessed every single word correctly.
He indeed carried all his possessions with him.
In fact, all deities did this.
After all.
Who could have expected that a high-and-mighty deity would be pinned down and beaten?
Living from ancient times to the present.
The deities who truly fell could be counted on one's fingers.
Chthon never dreamed that as soon as he broke the seal, he would run into an unreasonable pervert like Ryan.
"Mage."
"You're dead set on extermination, aren't you?"
Chthon gritted his teeth for a final confirmation.
"So much nonsense."
Ryan couldn't be bothered to continue babbling.
The magic power inside his body surged into the black hole vortex ahead like a bursting river.
When dealing with enemies.
One must cut weeds and eliminate the roots, grinding their bones to ashes!
Ryan made up his mind that today he must completely kill Chthon.
The red light in Chthon's eye sockets instantly became violent.
"Good!"
"Since you won't give me a way out, let's die together!"
"Annihilation Synchronization!"
Chthon let out a desperate roar, and his massive body began to collapse violently.
A destructiveness that was pure to the extreme erupted from his body with a boom.
This black energy was like the shadow from the deepest part of the Universe.
Anyone who took even a glance would cast a thick haze over the depths of their soul.
Even Ryan felt a bone-chilling chill.
Like a shadow under the scorching sun that could never be shaken off.
It made one's hair stand on end.
Fortunately, Ryan's mental barrier was indestructible.
In just a brief moment, it completely dispelled this eerie negative influence.
The black vortex ahead was like an ancient giant beast, opening its abyss-like mouth and frantically devouring the erupting destructive energy.
A layer of dazzling silvery-white flowing light instantly appeared on the surface of Ryan's body.
This was his body operating at overload, frantically digesting the pure power fed back by the vortex.
The efficiency of Infinite Devouring in transforming energy was extremely astonishing.
After purification and compression.
Although the power fed back to Ryan was only one-tenth of the original.
Yet just this one-tenth.
Still managed to make Ryan's muscles ache all over and his bones creak.
It was enough to show how terrifying the energy Chthonerupted with in his desperate struggle was.
However.
That was all it amounted to.
Infinite Devouring on steroids was unreasonably strong!
No matter how violent Chthon was, all the destructive energy was eaten up by the vortex without leaving even a crumb.
Chthon's massive residual body was like a rock weathered for tens of millions of years.
Shattering inch by inch, turning into a sky full of sand and dust, completely dissipating in the cold vacuum.
Ryan raised his hand and grabbed.
From the place where Chthon disappeared, he precisely extracted a grayish-white space crystal.
What was contained inside was precisely Chthon's entire fortune looted over countless epochs.
This wealth was more than enough to buy dozens of galaxies.
After getting the spoils of war, Ryan released his spiritual power, sweeping back and forth around the area a dozen times like plowing a field.
Confirming that not even a shred of soul residue was left.
He finally let out a long breath of foul air.
"Loot dropped, looks like the old ghost is truly dead."
Ryan muttered, tore open a Portal, and went straight back to Earth.
However.
He didn't notice.
The few hollowed-out goji berries he had casually thrown into space just now had quietly disappeared.
Outside the Universe crystal wall system.
A boundless, hazy chaotic void.
This place was filled with violent gray airflow.
Once life forms with slightly weaker strength stepped in, they would be instantly churned into powder by these airflows.
Suddenly.
A strange ripple surged in the void.
A faint cluster of black aura materialized out of thin air.
The black aura flickered wildly a few times, barely condensing into an illusory human figure.
It was none other than Chthon!
However.
His current state was horrific, his figure fluttering indefinitely as if a gust of wind could blow him apart.
"Damned human scum!"
"This deity will absolutely not let you off!"
Chthon's eyes were scarlet as he uttered malicious curses.
"However, this deity hasn't completely lost!"
"I have obtained the ultimate secret to your soaring power!"
"As long as I digest this treasure, I will definitely be even more invincible than before!"
Chthon's spirits soared greatly.
As the founding ancestor of Black Magic.
His talent in magic comprehension was top-notch across the entire multiverse.
Now he had stolen Ryan's ultimate trump card divine object!
He would definitely break through his limits!
Chthon tremblingly raised his illusory right hand.
Lying flat in his palm were a few withered small red granules.
"Feel the wrath of the gods!"
With that said.
Chthon unhesitatingly shoved the few Ningxia goji berries into his mouth, not even daring to chew them, and swallowed them directly.
A few seconds passed.
No movement at all.
Chthon widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment.
"No!!!"
Accompanied by a scream that was extreme in its wretchedness.
The violent gray chaotic airflow instantly submerged him.
Along with his last bit of true spirit, he was completely obliterated in the void.
Ryan had no idea at all.
The once-haughty ancient Loki, Chthon.
Was actually pitted to death alive by a few goji berries he casually threw away.
Mistaking ordinary ingredients meant to meet the system's requirements for a peerless divine medicine.
If Ryan were present, he'd probably laugh his teeth out all over the floor.
Confirming that Chthon was completely stone-cold dead.
Ryan returned to Kamar-Taj.
After pacifying the frightened mages, he returned to his room alone and began to close his eyes to rest and recuperate.
This battle.
Not only did Ryan make a fortune, confiscating Chthon's entire treasury.
More importantly.
He successfully usurped Chthon's divine authority.
From now on.
He, Ryan, would be the Universe's only ancestor of Black Magic.
