Bab 308: Skills
With a single hand, he plucked the stars, slicing the planet in half as if it were as simple as cutting vegetables. Space itself was like a thin sheet of paper, easily torn apart.
These were things Lorna and her group couldn't even imagine, yet now they were witnessing them unfold right in front of their eyes.
The impact of this battle on Lorna and her group was beyond words.
Everyone stared at the images on the display in shock, even though it was just a virtual projection.
Yet, the presence of Zane and Ego, who seemed like gods, still exerted immense psychological pressure on them through the screen.
Since the beginning of the battle, not a single person in the hall had spoken. Even their breathing was careful and restrained.
"This... this is the guy who used to hold a kitchen knife and cook for us," Rocket pointed at the virtual projection of Zane, now transformed into a blazing sun, speaking in disbelief.
The others, upon hearing Rocket's words, hesitated for a few seconds instinctively.
They looked at Zane on the virtual projection, and then recalled the sunny boy who always wore a bright smile. Reluctantly, they nodded in agreement.
"It seems... probably... maybe... it's him," Lorna said, a bit unsure.
Even as Zane's partner, she found it hard to reconcile the figure that filled her heart with the supreme being on the virtual screen.
But after her brief shock, a surge of emotion filled Lorna's heart.
One part was pride—pride that her man was so strong that he could take down the universe.
Two parts were warmth and affection, because despite being so powerful, this man always treated her with care and gentleness, like a father indulging his daughter.
After all, Zane usually let her 'bully' him.
Lorna would sometimes bite Zane playfully, and he never fought back.
The last seven parts was urgency—Zane had unknowingly grown so strong already.
This man had always led them forward, but they had never been able to keep up with his pace.
Now, they had to quicken their steps toward growth!
Otherwise, in the future, they would only be able to watch his battles from afar, unable to offer any help at all.
This feeling of powerlessness made Lorna clench her fists, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes.
At the same time, Rocket and the others also realized this problem.
They exchanged glances, nodding in unison, secretly making up their minds to grow stronger.
Not for any other reason, but so that one day, they could stand proudly by his side and share some of the burden.
After all, what's the fun in a one-on-one fight when you could all gang up together? A family should fight together!
Meanwhile, back on the mechanical planet, Lorna and the others were feeling a bit heavy-hearted.
As for Zane, the energy tendrils from Ego had already reached him, bringing with them the remnants of a star.
When the field enveloping the remnants was released by Ego, he immediately severed countless tendrils holding the star's debris.
Then he drew himself in tightly, that special field wrapping around his entire body.
And there he remained, waiting quietly.
With anticipation in his heart, he awaited the impending disaster.
And Zane's death...
Seeing the remnants of the star hurtling toward him at superluminal speed, Zane swiftly redirected the energy beam from the "Son of Light" to strike the star fragments. He intended to completely shatter them into pieces. However, the toughness of the stellar debris far exceeded his expectations.
The energy beam from the "Son of Light" dispersed like a stream of water upon impact, overwhelmed by the immense kinetic energy of the star fragments. The debris, the size of a football field, remained completely unharmed—not even a scorch mark on its surface.
Realizing the "Son of Light" was ineffective, Zane quickly shut it down. He focused his attention on the slowing, yet still unstoppable, star fragment.
His "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" instinctively activated to their limit, with two red rings around his pupils radiating a brilliant glow. From a distance, they looked like two shining red stars.
However, through the perspective of the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" Zane was shocked by what he saw. The massive star fragment had only a single death line. In comparison, even the top-tier metal vibranium from the Marvel universe had at least 98,310 visible death lines to Zane.
Moreover, the speed at which this death line moved far surpassed Zane's dynamic vision capabilities. In his view, the death line had already turned into a blur, making it impossible for him to know where to strike.
Years of battle-hardened instinct made Zane want to use "Flash" to dodge the star fragment. But he suppressed that instinct. Since he had decided to test the attack methods of a six-dimensional being, he wasn't planning to evade.
Besides, while this fragment gave Zane a strong sense of danger, it didn't trigger his intuition's death warning. In other words, it didn't pose a lethal threat to him.
Even if Zane accidentally ended up killing himself, the billions of resurrection chances in the "Death River" were more than enough for him to recklessly test his limits.
This S-class passive skill, aside from the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" was Zane's most powerful ability. In fact, the deeper he got into it, the more incredible its potential became.
Can you believe that now the life of an ordinary person could allow Zane, a mid-tier god, to be perfectly resurrected? If someone heard that, they wouldn't believe it.
It's completely disproportionate, right?
But such absurd things became perfectly natural in the face of the "Death River." That's the terrifying aspect of skills—no matter what the level, each has its unique, wondrous ability.
Take the absurd C-class skill "Eyebrow Dance," for example. Even now, as a six-dimensional being, Zane still couldn't remove it from his system's attribute panel.
These skills, though manifesting as rules in the depths of Zane's soul, once seemed like nothing more than those rules. But now, as a mid-tier god, Zane saw them differently. They weren't just rules but concepts or settings that had long transcended the level of rules or skills, directly touching upon the essence of all things.
