When a Legendary mage unleashes power without restraint, the resulting burst often surpasses imagination.

Translation: "When a legendary mage erupts without restraint, the burst is often beyond imagination."

However, compared to the controllable Dawn of the Ice Snow Goddess, the Comet Technique is far less controllable; very few creatures can survive its attack, and even a saintly incarnation of a deity facing it head‑on could be slain outright.

Translation: "However, compared to the controllable Dawn of the Ice Snow Goddess, the Comet Technique is far less controllable; very few beings can survive its attack, and even a saint incarnated as a divine spirit could possibly die outright when facing it head-on."

The spectators in the stands began to stir; most of them had come just for the excitement, eager to get an early sense of the legendary team's combat power.

Translation: "The spectators in the stands began to stir; most people had come here just for the fun, to get a preliminary sense of the legendary team's combat power."

And now they have indeed witnessed it—a terrifyingly immense combat power, enough to destroy a small plane.

Translation: "But now they indeed saw it—a terrifying combat power, enough to destroy a small plane."

Whether it's the Dawn of the Ice Snow Goddess or the Comet Technique, they can think of no way to resist it; this stuff is practically against the rules.

Translation: "Whether it was the Dawn of the Ice Snow Goddess or the Comet Technique, they could think of no way to resist; such things are simply against the rules."

"Can Zhagendis survive?" a knight dressed as a Dragon Slayer Warrior turned to look at his companion.

Translation: "\"Can Zhaogen Dis survive? \" a knight dressed as a Dragon Slayer Warrior turned his head to look at his companion."

Note: The name Zhagendis should be romanized using Hanyu Pinyin for a personal name, as it is not in the glossary.

Lily.

Legend.

Transcendent.

Dragon Slayer Warrior.

Dragon Slayer.

Reincarnation Barrier.

Five-Colored Dragon.

Dragon.

Comet Technique.

Plane.

We must use these exact forms.

Now continue.

The name should be romanized as Zhagendis (without tone marks), as many translations do.

"If it were just the Dawn of the Ice Snow Goddess, one should be able to survive; after being drenched in dragon blood, the body gains high immunity to spells, so survival should be no problem; after all, that technique's effect is mainly for crowd control, not killing!"

Translation: "\"If it were only the Dawn of the Ice Snow Goddess, he should be able to survive; after being bathed in dragon blood, his body has the effect of high immunity to magic, so surviving should be no problem, after all, that spell's effect is mainly for crowd control, not killing! \""

The Dragon Slayer Mage who was asked pondered and said.

Translation: "The Dragon Slayer mage who was asked pondered and said."

"But the Comet Technique is just too troublesome; I'm not sure whether Zhagendis has a cross‑plane evasion item; if not, he's as good as dead."

Translation: "\"But the Comet Technique is too troublesome; I'm not sure whether Zhagendis has a plane-crossing evasion item—if not, he's probably dead for sure! \""

The Dragon Slayer Mage spread his hands; the Comet Technique is just too broken—trying to tank that kind of damage is basically wishful thinking.

Translation: "The Dragon Slayer mage spread his hands; the Comet Technique is too buggy—hardly resisting such destructive power is basically wishful thinking."

"Zhagendis specifically called us over, saying he had a surprise to show us, and this is it?" The Dragon Slayer Warrior shook his head; he knew Zhagendis didn't have that kind of item, so he's basically doomed.

Translation: "\"Zhagendis specially called us over, saying there was a surprise for us to see, and this is it? \" the Dragon Slayer Warrior shook his head; he clearly knew Zhagendis didn't have such an item, so he was basically doomed."

"You might not have noticed, but that little guy called La Ge Na hasn't reached Transcendent yet!"

"What?" the Dragon Slayer Warrior turned in disbelief to look at his companion.

Translation: "Just now, La Ge Na took a full-force blow from a Legendary and didn't die, yet he still hasn't reached Transcendent."

"I looked it up online; this little guy is a wanted target of the Dragon God, and his lack of breakthrough is probably to avoid retaliation from the dragon kin." The Dragon Slayer Mage's eyes flashed with a sharp glint.

Translation: "\"I searched online and found that this little guy is a wanted target of the Dragon God; his long lack of breakthrough is probably to avoid retaliation from the dragon race, \" the Dragon Slayer mage's eyes flashed with a glint."

"Hahaha, looks like we're getting another companion!"

Translation: "\"Hahaha, it looks like we're gaining another companion! \""

The Dragon Slayer Warrior felt a bit excited, a flicker of hatred in his eyes; those who walk the path of dragon slaying, aside from glory and wealth, have nothing left but hatred.

Translation: "The Dragon Slayer Warrior felt a bit excited, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes; for those who walk the path of dragon slaying, aside from glory and wealth, only hatred remains."

"Well, since Zhagendis teamed up with him, he probably shares that mindset; our Dragon Slayer Brotherhood will grow stronger!"

Translation: "\"Well, since Zhagendis teamed up with him, he probably shares that mindset; our Dragon Slayer Brotherhood will grow again! \""

"Let the brothers in the guild prepare; find a Five‑Colored Dragon island on a plane, and we'll launch a dragon‑hunting operation."

Translation: "\"Let the brothers in the guild prepare, find a Five-Colored Dragon island on a plane, and we'll launch a dragon-hunting operation. \""

Translation: "Because the wait had been too long, the Dragon Slayer mage turned his head to look inside the arena; under normal circumstances, when this comet strikes, there should be no surviving life within the arena's cramped space."

Translation: "The howling gale blew away all smoke and dust; on a brand-new arena stage, Mu Yi and five others fell out of the void, while the opposing legendary team also fell out of the void."

The Dragon Slayer Warrior was a bit dazed; he never imagined that under two such magnificent and terrifying Legendary techniques, not a single person would die.

Translation: "The Dragon Slayer Warrior was a bit dazed; he never expected that under two such magnificent and terrifying legendary spells, not a single person would die."

Translation: "Lily, her magic exhausted; Zhagendis, Aili, and La Ge Na, their bodies stiff—only he remained in good condition."

"Everyone's ice resistance is this high?"

Translation: "Mu Yi eyed the opposing five-man squad somewhat strangely; at that moment the priest was using holy arts to restore everyone's condition, but even so, it was a bit exaggerated—each of them was on par with elemental beings."

Translation: "Earlier, that Dawn of the Ice Snow Goddess completely ignored allies and enemies regarding legendary spells."

"On their side, aside from Zhagendis, who withstood it head‑on, the other three were protected by his Reincarnation Barrier."

Translation: "On their side, besides Zhagendis who endured it head-on, the other three were protected by his Reincarnation Barrier."

"Meanwhile, the opposing Legendary team found it absurd that they could survive within the Dawn of the Ice Snow Goddess, because the deity they had slain was an ice‑snow god."

Translation: "Meanwhile, the opposing legendary team found it absurd that they could survive in the Dawn of the Ice Snow Goddess, because the deity they had slain at that time was an ice-snow god."

Translation: "Subsequently, their divinity and divine power were absorbed by those few, giving them tremendous resistance to ice-snow magic—just as Mu Yi is completely immune to instant-death magic, they are also immune to most ice-snow spells."

Translation: "But they have a special circumstance—what's going on with the opposing side?"

"Something feels off; that person on the opposing side who hasn't acted gives me the feeling of a deity..." The mage's expression wavered; as a caster, he clearly sensed a clash of divine power.

Translation: "\"Something feels off; that unmoving opponent over there gives me the feeling of a deity…\" the mage's expression wavered, and as a caster he clearly sensed the clash of divine power."

——Holy Word·Tenacity

Translation: "——Holy Word·Tenacity"

Holy Word·Tenacity

"The priest silently bestowed divine blessings on several, then raised a holy barrier to shield the squishy trio."

Translation: "The priest silently bestowed divine arts upon several people, then unfolded a holy barrier, protecting their fragile trio within."

"I'll cover you!" The dragon‑hunting ranger knows his arrows can be intercepted, but he can still divert their attention a bit.

Translation: "\"I'll cover you! \" the Dragon Hunting Scout knew his arrows could be reacted to by the opposition, but he could still distract their attention."

In battle, an archer constantly locked onto you is enough to make you divert one‑third of your attention to watch them.

Mu Yi felt a bit helpless; how did a proper team battle turn into this?

But, just in time, let's test my current limits.

"Six Paths Reincarnation!"

The Reincarnation Barrier fully opened, shrouding the entire arena within it.

A dense aura of luck rose in an instant, suppressing everyone.

"Open it for me!"

The Barbarian Berserker roared, his form swelling further, and he spun his massive wheel axe to charge into the formation.

But Mu Yi was faster, swinging his twin mithril greatswords to slash directly at the Barbarian Berserker.

"Wujian!"

When the Barbarian Berserker blocked the strike and tried to counter, he found himself spinning wildly and saw a familiar body.

"Am I dead?"

The Barbarian Berserker stared in disbelief at his fallen, massive corpse; as the squad's meat shield he always led the charge, yet this time he died in an instant.

Behind him, Zha Gen Di Si watched the scene, scratched his head, still clueless, just like when he died before, seeing no clue at all.

From a spectator's viewpoint, it was even more baffling.

One moment he hard‑blocked Mu Yi's strike, the next he became a headless corpse.

"Observation seems to have become an important matter for me!" Mu Yi muttered, looking at the fallen Barbarian Berserker.

The earlier waiting had been effective; Zha Gen Di Si's battle gave him more intel, so when activating Wujian to observe the future, he could see more favorable outcomes.

More choices mean less pressure when using Wujian to alter causality.

"So from now on my combat style should shift to mass encirclement to drain the opponent's strength, then finish them off?"

Mu Yi stroked his chin, then shook his head; this approach almost treats Wujian as the core.

Champion Hou had already taught him that this ability is not absolute; once it fails, it could trap him in an awkward situation.

The Multiverse is vast; many special beings exist, unsurprising.

His core should be a Military Strategist army, the Six Paths Reincarnation, not Wujian derived from those abilities.

—Divine Charge

Just as Mu Yi was pondering, the Unicorn transformed into a white flash and slammed toward him.

"Wujian!"

When the mithril greatsword landed on Christopher, a dazzling sacred radiance burst from him.

—Divine Art: Sacred Protection

A vague phantom appeared on Christopher's surface, and Mu Yi's fallen mithril greatsword was instantly deflected.

"Speak of the devil, and he appears!"

Mu Yi looked helplessly at the unharmed Christopher, but the Unicorn beneath him was casually slashed to death.

"Looks like we have to kill the ones behind first!"

The priest's Divine Art, placed on Christopher, invoked divine power to shield him when a fatal attack triggered.

But this type of Divine Art is beyond Mu Yi's observation; after all it involves deities, and with his current ability predicting gods is beyond his reach.

"Enveloping Fog!"

A massive fog rose around Mu Yi, spreading outward, cloaking the arena; everyone inside lost their sense of perception.

But for Mu Yi, within the barrier he could rely on pre‑marked positions and vague sensing to locate opponents.

When the fog cleared, Mu Yi's sword had already decapitated the Dragon‑hunting Ranger and rushed toward the Mage.

Although Wujian cannot predict Divine Art, it can still help Mu Yi choose his desired future; Divine Art can interfere with Wujian, but cannot stop Mu Yi's grounded combat.

Since the process cannot be skipped, we will proceed step by step to claim victory.

—"Law: Protection!"

—"Reinforced Steel Bones!"

—"Weak Spell Nullification Barrier!"

—"High-Level Energy Shield!"

—"High-Level Protective Energy Damage!"

Realizing the Mage intended to kill him, the Mage continuously cast various protective spells.

Yet these layered, wall‑thick defenses had no effect at all.

—Ten Thousand Armies Take Head

Wielding his mithril greatsword with blade intent, Mu Yi easily pierced the Mage's magical barrier and the priest's Divine Protection, stabbing straight through the Mage's chest.

—Self-Destruct Technique

The dying Mage tried to drag Mu Yi into mutual destruction, but endless hungry ghosts surged from the barrier; the Mage's summoned power was devoured before it could coalesce.

In the end only a modest firework burst on the spot, harmless.

Christopher, evaded by Mu Yi, only managed to rescue the priest, watching helplessly as Mu Yi sliced his three teammates like vegetables.

"He has anti‑demon properties, but that strange ability seems interfered by Divine Art; now I will sacrifice myself to summon a Divine Messenger to aid you, leaving the rest to you!"

The priest gave a brief briefing, then closed his eyes to pray.

Facing a monster that can break magic, a single priest is meaningless; rather than be a burden, he should contribute his own strength.

As team leader Christopher hadn't yet intervened, the priest completed the casting at astonishing speed.

—Celestial Divine Messenger 【Legendary Technique】

A golden ray streaked across the sky.

Soon a glittering golden portal opened in the sky, and a being clad in golden armor like an angel emerged, merged into the priest, then rose aloft, gazing at Mu Yi like a deity.

"No way, going this hard?"

Mu Yi raised an eyebrow. He knew that although inside the Arena most items and equipment could be reimbursed and one could rely on the power of the Comprehensive Net to revive after death, the Comprehensive Net does not reimburse anything that involves the faith of other deities.

Although he didn't know what price the opponent had paid, it must have been a one‑time cost. For an ordinary competition, is it necessary to fight so desperately?
