Chapter 1808
by 林方方Chapter 1808 The Hand of Royal Power
That day,
He was finally unable to escape from those hunting him.
That demon-like human cut off his four limbs with a knife, dragged his body to the top of a mountain, and nailed him to a metal divine frame!
The human cut open all his blood vessels, letting his divine blood flow from the mountaintop, ignoring all his pleas and begging, without any intention of sparing him, looking at him with endless coldness in their eyes.
He would never forget the despair of that day, never forget the emptiness and helplessness as his blood was drained drop by drop…
When his blood had dyed the mountain peak red, at the brink of death, the human spared him.
“Killing you this time… would be too merciful.”
“In the future, I will come find you periodically, and each time I find you, I will drain all your blood… From now on, you will live forever in fear of me.”
“Remember, Poseidon, before me… you are nothing.”
…
Within the [Dual Wheel Sea],
Poseidon looked at Lin Qiye’s face, and an uncontrollable fear that had been rooted in his heart for thousands of years surged from the depths of his soul!
“It’s you! It’s you?!!” Poseidon’s pupils suddenly contracted.
This brief pause allowed Lin Qiye to seize the opportunity, his figure turning into a blur as he avoided Poseidon’s palm. The blade light of [Divine Calamity] flashed repeatedly, carving a crimson “X” mark on the giant’s enormous chest!
Previously, this slash could have cut off half his body, but now the size difference between Poseidon and Lin Qiye was too great, so this cut could only barely cover the area of his chest.
The Sea God’s law was partially dispersed by [Divine Calamity], and Poseidon’s aura rapidly weakened. The pain from this cut also awakened Poseidon, who glared at Lin Qiye and roared:
“No… none of that ever happened! What did you put in my mind?!!”
Lin Qiye could use [Causeless Cause] to forcibly establish a non-existent causal relationship with others, but this ability required an original causal connection as a medium. If the original causal relationship wasn’t strong enough, he could only create “causality” by inflicting wounds. Therefore, the more severe the injury Lin Qiye caused, the stronger and more stable the established causality would be…
Just now, [White Slash] had merely grazed Poseidon, creating a wound too shallow, resulting in a somewhat unstable causality that Poseidon became aware of.
But the next cut would not be so easy to bear.
Fresh blood gushed from the “X”-shaped wound on the giant Poseidon’s chest, and dense causal threads connected with Lin Qiye. Poseidon seemed to sense something, roared in anger, and two sea fish—one red and one black—leaped out simultaneously!
The black fish swallowed Poseidon’s form in one gulp, its size expanding rapidly with the wind, while Lin Qiye relied on [White Slash] to enter the void, avoiding another attack.
Lin Qiye tried to pursue the black fish that had swallowed Poseidon, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t reach the inverted Ink Wheel Sea above, as if it existed in a completely different world from the Red Wheel Sea beneath his feet.
Looking at the all-encompassing black fish form above, Lin Qiye’s expression grew solemn.
At this rate, if he couldn’t kill Poseidon quickly or break the restriction, Poseidon would grow larger and larger… making him increasingly difficult to kill, while Lin Qiye himself would have to constantly dodge the attacks of the red fish.
Should he use those things?
Lin Qiye looked up at the void above, but after a moment, shook his head.
“No… it’s not time yet,” he murmured.
The black fish fell back into the Ink Wheel Sea, and Poseidon slowly rose from the surface. He hung inverted in the sky, his head alone as large as the Olympian mountains. Now he was like a human-shaped divine realm floating in the upper atmosphere, coldly looking down at Lin Qiye on the sea surface.
Boom boom boom—
A deep rumbling came from the sky, and the daylight suddenly dimmed.
A colossal fist emerged from the Ink Wheel Sea, the air being compressed and rubbed by the giant fist, quickly igniting a layer of intense flames on its surface, like a comet falling from the heavens!
But judging from the coverage area of this punch, Lin Qiye had no possibility of avoiding it. If this punch were to hit the real world, it could probably sink half of Japan into the sea.
The scorching wind made the Red Wheel Sea surge with turbulent waves.
Lin Qiye looked up at the falling giant fist, skillfully loosened all his joints, producing crisp cracking sounds.
“Four years… finally have a chance to use that ability, I wonder how effective it will actually be.”
Lin Qiye gently twisted the wrist holding [White Slash].
The snow-white blade traced an arc in front of him, and as a purple light flashed, the blade dissolved into countless points of light, merging into Lin Qiye’s body.
At this moment, Lin Qiye’s aura suddenly became sharp!
His form flickered between reality and void, countless red fish leaped from the sea surface, but none could touch even the hem of his clothes. He seemed to have transcended space itself, standing there yet seemingly present everywhere in this sea region.
”
[Hand of Royal Authority]:
Forcibly requisition the abilities and properties of any item, transferring them to the user. The item must recognize the user as its master, and only one item can be transferred at a time. Duration: one minute.
”
This was the last ability Lin Qiye had drawn from Gilgamesh four years ago.
Back then, just as Gilgamesh was discharged from the hospital, [Chaos] took away the Divine Mental Hospital, and Lin Qiye’s chance to extract abilities was left behind in the hospital. It wasn’t until after that great battle, when Lin Qiye reclaimed the hospital, that he performed the final extraction.
Since the hospital was already within Lin Qiye’s true body at that time, [Hand of Royal Authority] became the only forbidden domain in this body besides [Causeless Cause].
The meteor-like giant fist crashed down from the sky, its fiery glow turning the entire sky red. Lin Qiye gripped [Divine Calamity] with one hand, his form flashing with a white light, and instantly disappeared!
Having merged with [White Slash], Lin Qiye gained its two major properties of “ignoring space” and “entering the void.” In this brief minute, space had no meaning to him!
Lin Qiye crossed hundreds of kilometers of void in the blink of an eye, easily passing the burning giant fist, and arrived on Poseidon’s arm, which was like a suspended mountain. A blade light penetrated the flesh beneath his feet, cutting frantically!
The black-gold blade light flashed, and with that deep red figure sweeping wildly, a blood-colored wound four to five kilometers long was carved out in just seconds!
Poseidon’s roar resonated like thunder, and his other sky-covering hand slammed down on the arm where Lin Qiye stood. The shockwave made both seas churn violently.
But with a flash of spatial white light, the deep red figure had already vanished, and in the next moment, a blade light suddenly pierced the giant Poseidon’s brow!
