Chapter 268
by fanqienovelChapter 268: Falling into the Sea of Ether
“Gimmerly!”
“I’ve found your weakness!”
Agareth narrowed his eyes at Gimmerly, who had just blocked his “Demon King’s Flash: Double”, wearing a triumphant expression.
“Oh?”
“Hmm…”
“This consort would hear it.”
Gimmerly’s mocking voice carried through the air.
“What weakness could one who holds the authority of the void possibly possess?!”
“Come!”
Gimmerly coiled her body, hind legs gathering power as she prepared to spring.
“Hah…”
Agareth snorted, then launched himself with a powerful kick of his hind legs!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Heavy footsteps shook the trunk of the Fantasy Tree of Subspace as Agareth charged toward Gimmerly!
“Oh?”
“Brute force?!”
“Heh, this consort declines!”
With that, Gimmerly pushed off with her hind legs and swept her forelimbs!
Whoosh—!
Void energy lifted her body, drifting her away from her original position.
Had Agareth charged blindly, he’d have met empty air!
But Gimmerly’s pupils abruptly constricted!
Agareth was sprinting far faster than she’d anticipated!
He closed the distance in an instant!
“Wha—?”
Agareth’s massive skull now filled her double eyes!
Her current speed couldn’t possibly evade him!
“Hah!”
Agareth roared with savage glee.
Crash—!
The colossal form of the Chaos Council’s Third Seat slammed into Gimmerly.
“Uh…”
Though Gimmerly’s authority instinctively released powerful energy, summoning a void shield and a surge of Void Energy to offset part of the impact and even deflect Agareth’s sharp teeth,
“Creak—!”
Agareth’s thick limbs still tightly grabbed Gimmerly.
He only caught the void shield.
“Bang—!”
The two massive divine bodies crashed heavily into the Fantasy Tree of Subspace, wrestling together.
“Roar—!”
Agareth roared, saying triumphantly, “Have you forgotten?”
“Whose home ground is this!?”
“It’s mine! Agareth of the Chaos Council’s home ground!”
“I am the master of this Fantasy Tree of Subspace, and everything on this trunk obeys my command!”
“And I have carved countless magic formations on this Fantasy Tree to strengthen myself; they can offset the benefits from your authority of the void!”
“And don’t you want to know the weakness of the authority of the void?”
“Hehe…”
“That is… the fragility of the divine body!”
“Roar—!”
With that, Agareth roared and raised his enormous hand and claw to strike fiercely at Gimmerly.
“Thud—!”
“Bang—!”
The void shield trembled under the terrifying impacts and blows from the divine body.
Soon…
“Crack—!”
Several small cracks appeared on the void shield!
If this continued, the void shield would shatter!
“Hahahaha!”
“If the shield breaks, dealing with your divine body will be just a slap away!”
“This is the price one must pay to control the void!”
The void favored light things, so Gimmerly’s current divine body was very light. Although it was sturdy while light, it was only sturdy enough.
The hollowness, air sacs, and holes in the skull showed the ingenuity of creation, but the cost of being “ingenious” was “fragility”!
“Bang—!”
“Thud—!”
The terrible blows continued.
Gimmerly anxiously gathered more Void Energy to keep the shield up and fix the cracks.
But…
“Creak—Crack—!”
The cracks still spread at a speed anyone could see.
It was about to break!
“Oh no!”
“I got too carried away and underestimated Agareth.”
“What should I do now… what can I do…”
But right then…
“Creeeak—!”
Gimmerly suddenly heard something snapping and falling apart.
But it wasn’t the shaky “void shield” in front of her; instead…
“The branches of the Fantasy Tree of Subspace!?”
“Right!”
“That guy carved so many runes and formations on the Fantasy Tree, and now he’s wildly using magic while running and jumping on it.”
“With all that rough action, it’s no wonder the Fantasy Tree branches are breaking.”
“So…”
Gimmerly felt the Authority of the void gave her great power and sharpened her senses.
The wind from the void brought her every bit of news from above and below!
“Below!”
Gimmerly sensed a huge, scary, yet familiar presence from below!
“It’s that guy!”
“Got it!”
She struggled to drag Agareth, who was pounding madly on her shield, toward the weakest spot of the Fantasy Tree of Subspace.
“Hehe…”
Agareth quickly saw through Gimmerly’s plan.
“What, you want to fall into the Sea of Ether with me?”
“Hah, what a crazy idea.”
“Maybe on this Fantasy Tree of Subspace, you still have a chance to get away.”
“But in the Sea of Ether, Void Energy will face huge interference and can’t use its full strength!”
“Not to mention, in the Sea of Ether, you can’t even use the Powers of the void!”
"Boom—!"
"Thud—!"
Agareth kept relentlessly striking the void shield about to break.
Beneath them, cracks spread across the Fantasy Tree of Subspace’s branch!
"Crack—!"
The stress reached its limit!
Finally!
"Crash—!"
With a thunderous roar, the Fantasy Tree of Subspace’s branch shattered violently. Splintered wood and massive broken limbs crashed deafeningly into the Sea of Ether!
"Hahaha!"
"Useless!"
Agareth jeered.
"If you can’t escape during these few seconds we’re stranded on the Fantasy Tree, you never will!"
"But that’s impossible!"
True to Agareth’s prediction, even Gimmerly, who wielded the authority of the void, could do nothing within those fleeting seconds.
"Hahahaha…"
"Time’s up!"
Agareth laughed, his face twisted in savage triumph.
The humiliation he’d suffered would finally be avenged!
More importantly, he’d avoid utter disgrace!
"Crash—!"
With a tremendous splash, they plunged together into the Sea of Ether!
"Gimmerly, die!"
He roared, readying the final strike against this detested woman!
One blow would shatter the void shield!
But just then…
"Splash…"
Behind him echoed the sound of something massive swimming through the Sea of Ether!
