章節 88: Thunderclap
Flames clashed against the fierce ice spread by the massive swords that had dropped from the heavens while explosions ravaged the city and screams echoed through the streets. It was a perfect description of hell but in the middle of that hell's cape were two children, or rather there were once two children.
In place of one of the children was a tall man with a well defined body wearing pitch black robes and bandages that crawled up his arms, his onyx eyes deep like the abyss while his hair was darker than the night itself. He was a handsome man and yet something seemed odd about him, almost as though his apathy was faux.
"Remember, you only have a few dozen minutes at best. Win quickly and then come back." It was unusual to see the impassive Tang Wulin look at the man with such worry but it was also odd to hear him speak so softly. It was like he was a different person.
Of course, that was because he was a different person. Utilizing the power of light Gu Yuena currently wore the appearance of her partner while he gallivanted around the city as a god. It was a slightly unfortunate thing since she'd have to be both herself and her other half but it was easier than what he was doing, to say the least.
"Mhm." Humming in acknowledgement, Wulin, or rather Grace Mirchea Luslec accepted his role in this destruction. He was to end the Hyper Douluo that desired his death and anyone else he could defeat in the meantime.
Pressing on the necklace he had been given he soared into the air, the darkness of the sky bending and contorting until the very skies became his wings. Spreading his divine power Wulin felt all beings in the city weakening, their wills on the verge of shattering. All but one.
The soft chime of a bell resounded through the city like a warning, the morale of the enemies returning in full. Those Wulin considered allies had no such benefit but the influence he placed on them was basically nonexistent anyway.
"Found you." Murmuring to himself the skies bent once more like wings curling themselves in preparation. Shooting forward a sonic bomb ravaged the city as Wulin crashed into the ground, the earth shattering for miles and weakening the entire city. If it weren't for the control he learned from Wu Zhangkong the entire city would have been destroyed at least.
"Luslec! You were real?!" Shouting in an eerie eagerness, the Hyper Douluo was beyond pleased at his arrival. Before her, blocking his descent, was a large black bell with defenses incomparable to anything Wulin had attempted to destroy before. Worse still, the darkness element imbued within it was attempting to damage him.
"Right Hand." Apathetically chanting those words instead of replying to her the black bandages on his right arm shone for a moment as all the energy was sucked out of the bell, cracks spreading along its surface in an instant. It was the activation of a divine tool.
With wide eyes the Hyper Douluo retracted her martial soul, her figure blurring as she ripped apart space between her and wherever her destination was. However, she was quickly drawn back as time itself reverted.
"Wha—" Interrupting the evil soul master's words was Wulin's palm grabbing her face, her cheeks contorting around his delicate fingers, and her jaw clicking under the pressure. It was an immense amount of force equivalent to dropping a mountain on top of her and yet the apathetic look in his eyes never faded. He was playing with her.
"Left Hand." Calmly chanting once more lightning raced from his arm into her head, the very composition of her body altered in a way that was more beneficial to him. In that split second, the Hyper Douluo had gone from the top of the world to the very bottom. She had become a cripple in both body and soul. She could neither fight nor cultivate. She was weak.
"How does it feel? To be weak and powerless?" Apathetically gazing into her oddly excited eyes Wulin could sense something was wrong. His spiritual sense was far from equal with his power so he couldn't tell what it was but there was no point in searching.
Reversing time once more the power bubbling within her shrunk and returned to its fetal state, the power once more laying dormant. It wasn't a familiar power and yet it was similar to soul power in a way. If Wulin had to guess, it was the condensation of numerous people's soul cores that had in some way been corrupted.
"Just as the Empress predicted! You are no god!" Ignoring his inquiry and even the failure of her trump card the former Hyper Douluo shouted excitedly, her eyes locked onto the bolt of lightning that gathered in the sky. Nine colors swirled within its depths, its power vibrating the very space around it. It was different from the thunder of ascension. It was divine judgment.
"And you are nobody." Crushing her skull without hesitation blood stained his cheek, his onyx eyes locked onto the judgment of the universe brewing above him. Even if he were to return to his |Level 0| now the punishment would remain.
Growing stronger at the death of such a powerhouse the nine colored thunder rumbled in the skies, a new color forming in its depths. Time had been added into the mix not only enhancing its power but making it strike numerous times as well.
"Fall." Commanding the lightning it descended onto his waiting body, his eyes closed as though he was merely awaiting the rain. With a loud thunderclap, part of the city disappeared in the blink of an eye.
|DD|
"There he is! Get him!" Who said such a thing, Gu Yuena did not know. All she knew was that it was one of the numerous evil soul masters chasing after her. They were all weak, roughly the level of a rank 40 on average, but their numbers were slightly irritating. Worst of all was whoever was sending such weaklings at her without end.
Tapping on the necklace laced around her neck the power of the Golden Dragon King flowed within her. Stomping on the ground the earth shattered as all of her opponents fell into the cavern she opened beneath them with her earth manipulation.
To truly make such a switch work there were two things that were needed. A believable disguise was the first and easiest one but the second was slightly harder. They needed to show that they were who they were pretending to be. In her case, that meant absurd strength and in Wulin's case, it meant the addition of elemental control.
Looking up at the sky suddenly she saw nine colored thunder gathering in the sky directly above the sense of oppression covering the city. Frowning deeply at the sight, Gu Yuena squashed her words and continued moving.
Wulin would survive so she needed to do her part well.
****
Hey there, hope you liked the chapter.
It feels a little out of place for the Heavenly Tribulation to be so powerful but its important to know that this is the first time this has happened in universe. It isn't exactly common for somebody to have the power of a God King while simultaneously being a weak mortal.
If you want more chapters, head to patre*on.com/TrapOverlord for up to 25 extra chapters. It isn't required but it'd be much appreciated.
