Chapter 1275 Gray-White Arena
“So you are…”
Si Xiaonan stared at Myles’s profile in a daze, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
This sudden change made Phil frown deeply. He stared at that unfamiliar face, as if remembering something: “Are you Myles, the representative of the God of Prophecy and Magic that Thor brought back?”
Lin Qiye calmly replied: “It’s me.”
“This matter has nothing to do with you,” Phil stood in a patch of light and spoke coldly. “If you don’t want to die, don’t get involved… If you die, Thor will give me trouble.”
Lin Qiye shook his head and pointed to the blood-covered Si Xiaonan:
“Her, I’m taking with me.”
Phil glanced at Si Xiaonan, narrowing his eyes. “What if I don’t allow it?”
Lin Qiye didn’t speak, just silently gripped the handle of [Zhan Bai], the sharp blade light reflecting in the pool of blood.
At the same time, the giant bear that Lin Qiye had cut in half with one sword strike quickly shrank and transformed back into the man’s form from before. The body that had been cut in half rejoined, and the blood mark at the center of the body gradually disappeared.
To avoid exposing his identity, Lin Qiye hadn’t used the Kusanagi sword, after all, a representative of the God of Magic holding Japan’s Takamagahara’s first divine weapon would be too suspicious.
“Phil, do we continue?” Lister asked in a deep voice.
Phil stared intently at Lin Qiye and Si Xiaonan behind him. After hesitating for a moment, his eyes still flashed with reluctant killing intent:
“Yes! Asgard will fall into Loki’s hands sooner or later anyway. If we kill him now, we just need to hide for a while, and Thor won’t be able to do anything to us.”
As his words fell, Phil took out a gray stone tablet from his pocket and forcefully inserted it into the ground. An invisible domain instantly expanded, covering Lin Qiye, Si Xiaonan, and the dense forest within a five-kilometer radius.
Lin Qiye felt his vision blur, and everything around him was covered in an ethereal gray veil. A surging gray barrier like an inverted bowl covered overhead, making the sky and morning light dim.
“What is this thing?” Lin Qiye frowned.
“It’s a fragment of the [Gray-White Arena]…” Si Xiaonan’s weak voice came from behind him. “This was originally a divine artifact from ancient Roman mythology. When fully activated, it could drag any number of specified targets within thousands of miles into an alternate space, isolating all time and space. They fight to the death until only one survivor remains in the arena, then it opens.
Even the highest gods would be trapped without exception.”
“It can even trap the highest gods? How did he get such a powerful divine artifact?” Lin Qiye’s expression changed.
“What he has is just a corner fragment of the [Gray-White Arena],” Si Xiaonan slowly explained. “This divine artifact shattered into seven or eight pieces hundreds of years ago due to an accident. The fragments vary in size, and the one in his hand is probably one of the smallest pieces, with a coverage of only five kilometers. However, it’s more than enough to trap us…
Since he’s brought this out, he’s clearly determined to kill me.”
Lin Qiye stood in front of Si Xiaonan, watching the two men approaching, his eyebrows slightly raised:
“You just said this place isolates all time and space, and they can’t escape either, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Then this is easy.”
Lin Qiye gripped the void with his right hand, and with a flash of magical light, the Kusanagi sword appeared in his hand.
Holding the Kusanagi sword in one hand and [Zhan Bai] in the other, points of magical light dispersed from his body, and Myles’s appearance receded, gradually revealing his original form.
Seeing this, Si Xiaonan gritted her teeth and struggled to stand up from the pool of blood, about to help Lin Qiye fight, but was held back by his hand.
“You rest. I can handle these two.”
“That Phil is the representative of the God of Light, very powerful, ranking third among the [Ten Imperial Guards]. The other man is called Lister, and although he’s not among the [Ten Imperial Guards], his strength is not weak either… be careful.”
Si Xiaonan said worriedly.
Lin Qiye nodded, his form transforming into a streak of night, racing along the tree shadows cast in the dense forest.
“You’re not Myles?!” Lister saw this and was shocked. “Who exactly are you?!”
“Be careful, he’s coming your way!” Phil sensed ripples in the light beneath his feet and immediately warned Lister.
Before his words finished, Lin Qiye’s form flashed out from the tree shadow behind Lister, darting like lightning toward his neck. Lister reacted extremely quickly, instantly transforming into a patterned leopard wreathed in electric light, avoiding the strike with a change in height.
Lister’s gaze focused, killing intent erupting as an electric leopard claw violently slashed at Lin Qiye’s lower abdomen overhead.
The sharp claw tip tore through Lin Qiye’s skin but seemed to hit an ink stain, dissolving and dispersing as if it had never appeared.
“A fake?” Lister was stunned.
The next moment, from the void at his side, a blade light ignored space and hummed as it cut into his back.
Lin Qiye’s form appeared.
As the night essence within Lin Qiye gradually matured, more and more divine abilities were cultivated, and his aura began to approach that of Nyx, the Goddess of Night.
The afterimage that had just confused Lister’s senses was an ability derived from the night essence, [Night Shadow Clone].
Lin Qiye’s blade cut into Lister’s back, immediately leaving a wound deep enough to see bone. The patterned leopard wreathed in electric light howled in pain, its form changing again, instantly becoming a silver thorny hedgehog.
The original flesh body changed into a metal-hard shell, firmly gripping Lin Qiye’s [Zhan Bai], while countless sharp silver thorns rapidly extended toward Lin Qiye’s face.
Lin Qiye snorted coldly, sidestepping the silver thorns, and swung the Kusanagi sword in his other hand toward the hedgehog’s head.
Under the Kusanagi sword’s edge, the supposedly impenetrable shell was like paper made of tofu paste. With just a light cut, the thorny hedgehog’s head was chopped off, and its massive body suddenly shuddered and collapsed to the ground.
After being beheaded, the hedgehog’s body began to return to its original form. The rolling head regained Lister’s original appearance, looking at Lin Qiye behind him in terror.
“What kind of sword is that?!”
“You don’t need to know.” Lin Qiye calmly walked to the head and softly recited a poem.
Boom——!!
Earth-shattering flames erupted from within Lister’s body, instantly engulfing him. Piercing screams gradually weakened in the firelight, finally returning to silence.
Lin Qiye, holding a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, stood before the roaring flames and turned indifferently to look at Phil in the distance.
