Osial roared, relentlessly driving the seemingly endless water elements in the sea to launch attacks.
Vortices carried terrifying pulling force, as if they wanted to drag all living beings into the deep sea to be buried; waterspouts shot up into the sky, seemingly capable of shredding everything in the world; massive tsunamis carried endless deathly aura, like sending all things toward their end.
However, the pitch-black mechanical god easily broke free from the vortex's pull with its own super weight;
The waterspouts could not halt its advance;
The oncoming tsunami was directly shattered by its mountain-like body, the deathly aura blocked by the outer plating, completely unable to invade the interior.
Blood-red eyes reflected Osial's form.
The reflection gradually enlarged, and then a super-heavyweight punch slammed into Osial.
Osial refused to yield, his massive body wrapping around the God of Destruction, engaging this power-specialized artificial god in close combat.
Waves surged, the direct clash of strength making the sea restless and turbulent.
Osial crashed heavily onto the sea surface.
In terms of raw power, only at his peak could he possibly compete with the God of Destruction. But after successive heavy damage from the Jade Chamber and the true phoenix, Osial no longer had the high-spirited vigor he had when he first broke free from the seal.
Although Jun Bai had taken even more damage than Osial, and continuing the fight—even with the Jade Chamber's assistance—would mean the victor would not be Jun Bai.
But now Osial's opponent was this extremely durable artificial god.
The key point was that while the God of Destruction was durable, it was also full of brute strength—the exact type of opponent a weakened Osial least wanted to face.
He was an elemental being, but he had zero physical resistance. So this kind of tanky brute with elemental resistance...
[Osial: Perfect matchup mechanics.]
[Jun Bai, Jade Chamber, Obelisk—Osial fighting one against three, honorable even in defeat.]
[Fun fact: Osial was sealed because Jun Bai nearly emptied his health bar.]
[Jun Bai: Guess if at my peak I could solo Osial for everyone to watch?]
Watching his opponent fall onto the sea, the God of Destruction reached behind its back with its right hand and drew a dark-golden double-bladed battle axe.
——Axe of the God of Destruction
(Same model as the Power God Axe of the Emperor Caucasus Beetle, recolored)
The pitch-black giant wielded the Axe of the God of Destruction and chopped down toward the fallen seven-headed god.
Osial failed to dodge; the axe blade sliced through his body, creating a long narrow wound from which dark blue blood flowed.
In the cockpit.
"Did he dodge it?" Xuanjian, face flushed red, laughed as he watched the scene. "Next time he won't have such luck."
The contract bound with Rex Lapis appeared in his hand.
This was something Xuanjian had traded for with Rex Lapis—it was both a contract and the manifestation of a strand of the Geo Archon's divine power.
"God of Destruction, full power release!"
The contract poured into the warblade in front of Xuanjian, and Rex Lapis's divine power unfolded within the cockpit.
The gears began turning once more, power spreading from the heart throughout the god's entire body.
Golden divine patterns appeared on the pitch-black god's body, a crown symbolizing power manifesting above its head. In this moment, the aura erupting from the God of Destruction was none other than Morax himself.
The God of Destruction swung the Axe of the God of Destruction, golden light shining on the axe blade.
"Thousand Pounds——"
The God of Destruction unleashed its full-power finisher technique, berserk force carrying rock elements capable of petrifying all things as it cleaved toward Osial.
This time, Osial could not evade.
The head containing a portion of abyssal authority was smashed to pieces head-on. The body, which had been forcibly grown by external forces, now lost any possibility of regeneration.
"One more strike left, but…"
"It's better to leave you to a more suitable opponent."
The God of Destruction, still at full power, stepped aside from the battlefield.
At that moment, the Jade Chamber's charge was complete.
A blazing white beam of light fired out, giving Osial no time to react at all.
The beam struck the head containing a portion of death authority, directly blasting it into dust.
Finally…
Crimson color illuminated the world shrouded in dark clouds. The Nirvana flames on Phoenix Perches on Demon Subjugation burned ten times brighter than any Jun Bai had used before.
"The hour of the end has come, Osial!"
Fully Armed Jun Bai locked onto the five-headed god in the sea. In the next moment, Phoenix Perches on Demon Subjugation—transformed into Fangtian Huaji—was hurled forward by him.
The Nirvana flames gradually ignited on the weapon, then fully erupted, transforming into a true phoenix with a wingspan of a thousand meters that dove toward Osial.
[Peak Archon experience card, single-strike version, priced at 10,000 popularity points]
The flame phoenix folded its wings, enveloping Osial's body. In the next instant, towering flames rose from the sea surface.
The flames broke through the torrential rain's blockade, shooting straight into the sky and tearing open the black clouds hanging over Liyue.
A magnificent fire tree of silver flowers rose from the sea.
Jun Bai landed on the Jade Chamber. Phoenix Perches on Demon Subjugation automatically flew back to him. He caught it, turned around smoothly with his back to the fire tree of silver flowers, and faced everyone on the Jade Chamber.
[Ah! Husband is so handsome!]
[For the rest of my life, I'm crazy for Bai-ge! Mad for Bai-ge! Smashing my head against the wall for Bai-ge!]
[Who the hell taught Jun Bai the real-man-never-looks-back-at-explosions rule? He's way too good at this!]
Jun Bai looked toward the crowd. The armor around him dissolved into firelight and vanished. He raised Phoenix Perches high and shouted loudly: "The Thousand Rocks stand firm, the layered peaks do not shift! The dry city's armored warriors, pacify demons and ward off evil!"
The Millelith raised their weapons high: "The Thousand Rocks stand firm, the layered peaks do not shift! The dry city's armored warriors, pacify demons and ward off evil!"
On the sea, the God of Destruction raised its battle axe high: "The Thousand Rocks stand firm, the layered peaks do not shift! The dry city's armored warriors, pacify demons and ward off evil!"
Paimon watched the scene, her heart leaping with joy: "Does this mean… we've won?"
Keqing stood up, looked at the God of Destruction in the sea, and smiled emotionally: "Yes, we've won."
Paimon flipped somersaults in the air, then shook Lumine's shoulders and shouted: "Lumine, did you hear that? We won!"
"I heard, I heard." Lumine smiled helplessly and looked toward the white-haired, red-eyed young man ahead. "We won."
Guizhong walked out at that moment and came before Jun Bai: "Next, there's one last thing to take care of."
Jun Bai turned around and looked toward the gradually extinguishing fire tree of silver flowers: "Yeah, one last thing."
