Chapter 359: Space God-King VS Weapon God-King!
....
Seito was absolutely thrilled.
This Weapon God-King turned out to only have the combat strength of a mid-stage God-King. This meant he could straight-up harvest the guy right here and now! Without wasting a single syllable on words, he unleashed his skill and dragged the Weapon God-King clean into his Kamui dimension.
Whoosh—!
The Weapon God-King materialized inside the Kamui dimension. He fell into a high-priority defensive posture, scanning his surroundings with absolute vigilance before locking his scouter arrays onto Seito ahead of him.
"Spatial ripples..." the Weapon God-King muttered, calculating the variables.
No wonder he couldn't detect a single data trace of the killer outside; the perpetrator had been hiding inside an isolated sub-dimension all along. Furthermore, this localized dimension belonged exclusively to Seito, meaning any external tracking matrices would be completely useless here!
"Who are you?" the Weapon God-King demanded. He rapidly cross-referenced the visual data with the God-King registries in his memory pool, but found absolutely zero baseline entries for Seito. This left him deeply perplexed.
"Heh, you don't recognize me?" Seito offered a smooth chuckle, elegantly straightening his coat. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Seito, the Space God-King—a new sovereign who just cross-linked over from the lower Domain of the Gods!"
"The Domain of the Gods?!" Hearing those words, the Weapon God-King froze for a fraction of a millisecond before screaming in shock, "It's YOU!!!"
He was far too familiar with the lower Domain of the Gods! After all, that sector was exactly where he had placed his personal chess pieces to farm resources! He also knew perfectly well that his entire operational network down there had been completely wiped out from the grid. He just hadn't expected that the monster responsible for shattering his chess board would suddenly materialize right in front of his face!
"Of course it's me," Seito smiled faintly, flipping his left hand.
Shua—!
The Spatial Dragon Katana manifested seamlessly in his grip. Wrapping his right hand around the hilt, he smoothly drew the blade from its sheath.
CLANG—!
"Alright, let's cut the small talk short. Today, out of the two of us, only one god walks out of this sector alive!" Leveling the tip of his blade straight at his opponent, Seito's expression turned dead serious. Although his tone sounded relaxed, he wasn't a fool; he had zero intention of underestimating a same-tier opponent.
"Hmph!" the Weapon God-King let out a cold snort.
Two shimmering metallic spheres abruptly materialized in his palms. In the next fraction of a second, the spheres fluidly reconfigured themselves, merging into a magnificent divine spear.
The two Gods locked eyes, measuring each other's metrics.
In the very next heartbeat—
BANG!
SHUA!
Seito lunged forward like a shooting star, raising his Dragon Katana high as he brought it down in a devastating vertical strike. Tracking the incoming trajectory, the Weapon God-King executed a swift side-step, fluidly sweeping his spear to counter. Seito backhanded his blade, catching the tip of the spear to block the trade.
CLANG—!
ZZZZT~~
The armaments clashed violently, the two Gods immediately engaging in a massive tug-of-war of raw divine power. But Seito had zero intention of letting his opponent control the pacing of the duel.
"Dimensional Cube!"
Whoosh—!
The Dimensional Cube shot out, hovering tightly by Seito's flank. It rapidly gathered a massive vortex of purple energy before its front face, instantly blasting a hyper-compressed beam of spatial distortion straight at the target!
Sensing the incoming threat, the Weapon God-King instantly detached the haft of his long spear with his left hand, reconfiguring it into a massive divine shield that slammed firmly into the ground beside him!
BOOM!
The heavy shield successfully absorbed the absolute kinetic output of the Dimensional Cube's blast. The violent residual shockwaves whipped furiously through the hair and clothes of both God-Kings.
"Impressive," Seito smiled, a sharp gleam flashing through his eyes.
The God-King tier armament in the Weapon God-King's possession could actually split and morph dynamically. From the looks of it, that weapon could transform into any martial instrument imaginable! It truly was a spectacular piece of gear. If he managed to drop this item and hand it over to Kirukiru Amou, she would absolutely fall in love with its performance metrics!
"You're not half bad either," the Weapon God-King snarled. With a violent tremor of his right hand, he forcefully pried Seito's Dragon Katana back, executing a quick vault to launch himself into mid-air.
Holding the shield in one hand and a short spear in the other, he allowed the two weapons to reconfigure themselves once more, smoothly shifting into a pair of dual longswords.
Whoosh—!
Without wasting a single microsecond on commentary, Seito rocketed straight up to meet him. He intended to maintain a relentless, high-pressure close-quarters trade.
Now that they were inside the Kamui dimension, Seito didn't dare phase his physical body back out into the main God-King Star Sector to bypass incoming spells; after all, no one could predict what kind of environmental traps or external ambushes were waiting on the outside grid. As for why he had chosen to stage this entire duel inside his personal sub-space? The core blueprint was simple: absolute security! A full-scale deathmatch between two genuine God-Kings would inevitably draw a massive swarm of local rulers. If those ancient monsters found out Seito was systematically assassinating their subordinate gods, things would get way too messy.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!
The Dimensional Cube fractured neatly into twenty-seven independent blocks, and Seito plunged right back into a fierce, overlapping brawl with his opponent!
DING—!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
BOOM!
RUMBLE!!!
The collision of their ultimate skills was blindingly spectacular! The twenty-seven cube fragments continuously cycled through coordinated tactical patterns to assist Seito's strikes. Relying entirely on his broken speed modifiers and exclusive skill sets, Seito engaged the weapon god in a frantic, white-hot war of attrition.
As time slipped by...
The Planet Earth, Sobu High Academy.
The girls of the school-bound faction had already been dismissed from their classes for the day. They had collectively transported over to the Game Star, quickly locating Sora, Shiro, Tet, and the rest of the crew who were currently engrossed in a game of chess.
"Have any of you logged Seito-kun's coordinates?" Maple asked, stepping up to Tet's side with a look of concern.
"Nope," Sora replied, shaking his head as he tapped rapidly on his interface panel. "I've been trying to ping his ID for a while now, but he isn't responding to any direct text matrices. No idea where he slipped off to."
Hearing Sora's response, the girls grew deeply puzzled. They had been scouting for Seito's energy signature the literal microsecond the final bell rang, but regardless of which floor of the God Domain they tracked, his coordinates remained completely blank. One had to remember that they were all full-fledged gods now; their localized sensory perception was powerful enough to map the entirety of a standard world floor in a single heartbeat!
After a brief pause to calculate the anomalies, Kirukiru Amou spoke up, "Could he have directly entered the God-King Star Sector?" If his data footprint was missing from all the lower floors, that sector was structurally the only logical coordinate left.
The group froze for a moment as her deduction registered.
"Did he seriously head up there this early?" Sora's features twisted into a deeply colorful expression. Hadn't they explicitly agreed to wait for a standard rest period before breaching the ceiling? Why did that guy jump the gun so fast?
"Nii... should we also authorize our clearance and enter the God-King Star Sector?" Shiro asked, looking up at her brother with a soft, doll-like tone.
Sora fell into deep contemplation for a moment before firmly shaking his head. "No. We lack sufficient baseline data regarding the local meta. Wandering blindly into that sector right now serves zero tactical purpose. One must remember that the God-King Star Sector is the sovereign playground of genuine God-Kings, while our group's parameters currently sit at the standard God-rank tier. If we fail to locate Seito immediately and get tracked down by a hostile local ruler instead, our entire faction hits a catastrophic bottleneck. The smartest move is to turtle up right here and wait for his return."
Hearing his explanation, Shiro went quiet, while the rest of the girls resumed calculating their options.
Time flew by rapidly. In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed inside the isolated space.
The duel between Seito and the Weapon God-King had locked into a fierce, dead-even stalemate! However, because both entities were consistently executing high-tier ultimate skills, the raw drain on their internal divine energy pools was absolutely massive.
"Heh," Seito exhaled a long breath, a relaxed, confident smile playing across his lips as he locked eyes with the weapon god across the void.
"What on earth are you smiling at?" the Weapon God-King barked, his brows knit into a tight, strained grimace.
Seito merely grinned, refusing to offer a direct reply as his core energy track began to run along a brand-new orbital path.
"Because from this microsecond onward... the real fight actually begins!"
