章 306: Cut in Half
After all, it was Zane who started the trouble.
Thinking of this, Ego forcefully suppressed the discomfort brought by Zane's strange eyes.
Countless energy tendrils surged from his back.
With Ego channeling his godly power without reservation, the tendrils easily broke through the speed of light.
In an instant, they stretched across dozens of light-years, reaching the star of this system.
But how could Zane just stand there, letting Ego do as he pleased?
Zane's eerie red eyes flickered for a moment.
In that instant, his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception locked onto a rapidly flowing death line on Ego's body.
The next moment, the Reaper's Scythe , carrying fragments of space, slashed towards Ego's chest.
If the death line were severed, Ego's gigantic form would be split in half by Zane without any chance of recovery.
At that critical moment, Ego's arms suddenly disintegrated into countless energy tendrils whipping through the void.
These tendrils, following Ego's foresight, intertwined across his chest to form an energy shield several hundred kilometers thick.
Just as the shield solidified, the Reaper's Scythe's sharp blade struck.
In an instant, the massive impact caused the surrounding space to warp.
Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, the once invisible space rippled outward from the collision point between the scythe and the shield.
The warping space instantly cleared the debris, satellites, and even planets around Zane and Ego.
Even Skynet had to pilot its mechanical planet away from the battlefield.
Despite being magnified thousands of times, the blade of the Reaper's Scythe still reflected a chilling light under the star's glow.
After a brief stalemate with Ego's energy shield, the sharp edge of the scythe pressed on.
Suddenly, the divine core deep within Zane's soul spun again.
A surge of death energy, like a tidal wave, poured into the Reaper's Scythe .
The hollow eyes of the skull on the scythe flared up with an intense gray light.
A soul-piercing wail erupted from the giant mouth of the skull.
At the same time, Zane activated the ability of the [Magic Furnace], granted by the Mind Stone.
Ego, entangled with Zane, had no time to dodge and was struck directly by both attacks.
In an instant, a flicker of confusion flashed across Ego's eyes.
The countless tense energy tendrils slackened, as if drained of power.
The energy shield in front of the Reaper's Scythe collapsed, and even the tendrils wrapped around the distant star weakened.
But the confusion in Ego's eyes lasted for only a moment, not even a microsecond.
At their level, a microsecond and a year made no essential difference.
With no barrier left, the Reaper's Scythe , shrouded in gray mist, sliced directly through the death line on Ego's chest.
In that instant, the sound of tearing fabric echoed through the entire void!
As the Reaper's Scythe sliced along the death line on Ego's chest, the lower half of Ego's body instantly ceased all activity, with the life force within it dissipating in the blink of an eye, vanishing without a trace.
It floated lifelessly in space, like a mass of dead flesh.
From the cut, Ego's lower half, composed of countless energy tendrils, lost its once brilliant blue glow in an instant.
The tendrils, no longer supplied by divine power, crumbled into dust and scattered into nothingness in the vastness of space.
However, Ego's face, now split in two, showed no sign of panic.
The giant present in space was merely an avatar.
Even if Zane cut him into a thousand or ten thousand pieces, as long as his core in the heart remained unharmed, no substantial damage could be inflicted upon him.
"Kid, you're still too young."
"It's rare for you to affect my mind, and yet with such a good opportunity, you only cut down my avatar."
The half-bodied Ego sneered at Zane.
But Zane responded with a knowing smile.
"Oh, is that so?"
Seeing the smile on Zane's face and the look of disdain in his eyes, Ego, who had been calm all along, suddenly felt an unexplainable panic.
Instinctively, he began channeling his divine power from the core, trying to regenerate his disintegrated lower half.
But then something terrifying happened.
No matter how much divine power he poured into the tendrils at the cut, they refused to grow.
It was as if they were always meant to be like this.
Panic fully set in. Though this was just an avatar, it was still Ego's most powerful combat form.
Now, what was this absurdity where he couldn't regrow his lower half?
Was he supposed to remain like this, forever able to manifest only an upper body?
As Ego frantically tried every method to regrow his lost lower half, Zane stood calmly beside him, showing no intention of attacking.
His gaze was like that of someone watching a clown perform a ridiculous act.
"What have you done to me, kid?!"
After numerous futile attempts, Ego's eyes flared with rage as he shouted at Zane.
"Take a guess?" Zane's lips curled into a sly grin.
This nonchalant attitude only fueled Ego's fury.
"Die!"
In an instant, divine power surged forth, and countless energy tendrils grew rapidly, pulling the nearly shattered planets around them, hurling them all at Zane in a frenzy.
At the same time, dozens of light-years away, on a distant star, enormous energy tendrils—each as large as a mountain—wrapped themselves around the star's surface, ignoring the searing 6,000°C heat.
Layer after layer, they bound the star, and when the last tendril covered its surface, they began burrowing deeper into the star's core, voraciously consuming its energy.
The once brilliant blue tendrils turned into a mix of red and blue.
Massive heat transferred across the light-years, through the energy tendrils, and into Ego's half-body.
Instantly, countless magma-like blood-red lines coursed across Ego's ancient face.
