Chapter 231

Just as Hades thought the black mist would continue spreading, he suddenly noticed it had stopped—and was rapidly retracting toward Hu Zi.

"What's going on? Why's it pulling back?" Bruno leapt onto a slope, staring around in shock.

"Not sure, but releasing that much of this strange black mist at once must be a heavy burden for him."

'Wu' narrowed his gaze and spoke.

Immune to attacks, capable of launching them, and if combined with infinite release—

Such an ability may not be truly invincible, but it's certainly close.

A string of exchanges left 'Wu' deeply powerless, unlike the crushing dominance he'd felt against the Five Elders before.

Though Hu Zi's ability didn't deliver a powerful shock, the helplessness of punching air was far more agonizing.

Meanwhile, Hades' gaze also turned toward 'Wu'.

Between the strong, no words are needed—one glance was enough for 'Wu' to understand Hades' intent.

The moment they retracted the black mist was their perfect chance to counterattack!

Yet…

Just as the three prepared to act, they froze.

For within their line of sight, the ground once covered by black mist had vanished entirely, replaced by a massive, deep crater.

Trees, boulders—even Shanfeng—were all gone!

"Could it be…?"

As a strong sense of dread surged through them, Hu Zi's distinctive cackle rang out again!

"Jie hahahahahaha… Savor despair!"

With those words, an even fiercer black mist erupted from Hu Zi's body, transforming into a black storm that swept everything away.

The next instant, like a floating sky island collapsing—

Trees, boulders, Shanfeng—all that had vanished—reappeared in darkness, flooding every corner of vision.

"Is this… really something a single person could do?"

At this moment,

Everything had come so suddenly that Hades and the others were stunned silent.

The next instant, they still stood where they were—not because they gave up, but in such a vast attack, fleeing was already too late.

The three unleashed their magic, holding nothing back.

They knew—if they held back now, they might truly be killed.

". 「Eternal Shadow!"

"Ten Thousand Forms of Heaven's Radiance!"

"Gravity·Rise!!"

The three unleashed their magic; terrifying magical beams shot out, blasting everything falling from above.

Vast clouds of explosion smoke instantly spread, blotting out sky and earth.

Within the smoke, terrifying energy radiated endlessly, striking everything.

…

"Is this guy even human?"

"Not sure—I've never seen the President look so battered."

"That guy is a monster."

From being surrounded to reversing the situation and then launching a counter-pursuit, Hu Zi's displayed power exceeded everyone's imagination.

Especially when Hu Zi declared his intent to kill them all, his shocking decision stunned them once again.

In their former state, they might have sneered—among the three, even the weakest, Bruno, ranked among the top five of Saint Grade Ten, let alone 'Wu' and Hades.

But now…

After watching this string of battles, that certainty had begun to waver.

The standoff continued, yet it was clear—Hu Zi now held complete dominance in this fight.

He stood alone against all three!

Such power was something they had never seen.

"Oh? Still holding on?" Hu Zi sneered coldly.

"How about this then!"

Boom—!

No more restraint—all that had been swallowed by the black mist now erupted at once!

Amid the roaring sound!

Hades and the others, continuously channeling magic, instantly felt their pressure double!

As they watched their magical barrage failing to hold back the falling Shanfeng, Bruno exploded forward first!

"Ultra Gravity Sphere!"
