Chapter 364: Time Dilation Ability

Boom.

The Underworld Fire Fighter's Underworld Blade plunged into the ground, and with boiling flames, it suddenly activated; yet instead of charging directly at the Black Night Saber, it circled around it, carving out a massive ring. At this moment, the Underworld Fire Fighter's left hand clenched abruptly. Boom.

Flames shot into the sky.

The Flowing Heart Martial Soul at this stage was no longer merely a light-flame effect, but a true manipulation of soul fire through the K23 God Element—a brand-new form of energy.

From the scene, the audience was shocked and enthusiastic; it was clearly a grand spectacle, but the contestants wore strange expressions.

If this were a pilot duel, it would be truly terrifying and could cause sufficient damage to a fragile human body, but this was a mecha battle. Such an effect looked grand and spectacular, but the consumption was completely disproportionate. Was this much Zone Value being wasted just to set off a fire?

Even with such flames, despite the melting effect, Li Hao couldn't possibly be without defenses. Under the opponent's Golden Zone defense, how much effect could it really have?

For humans to fully unleash the power of the Golden Zone, they must either learn to integrate their abilities into the mecha with maximum efficiency, complementing the mecha's characteristics—note, it must complement the mecha—or invent new Mobile Suits that can accommodate human abilities.

Clearly, they were still in the former stage.

Xilian, Maxis, Basta, Fan Liweite, and others did not know what Romero was doing. When facing Li Hao, one could not be too cautious, yet he was still pulling these flashy stunts?

Could it be to pave the way for his Teleportation Ability?

The fire ring was complete, and the Underworld Fire Fighter soared into the air, the Underworld Blade in its hand ablaze with ten thousand feet of flame. The flames of the fire ring seemed to be attracted, instantly engulfing the Kepler Battlefield. Like a Fire Demon Leader, the Underworld Fire Fighter held the flaming blade high and descended from the sky, hacking toward the Black Night Saber.

Rumble.

Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, the flames burst forth. The audience could only see the shadows of two mecha amidst the fire, blades and swords clashing. Boom, boom, boom, boom...

The two Mobile Suits flashed incessantly within the flames. People could only hear violent collision sounds. The movements of the two mecha became faster and more ferocious, dazzling everyone watching.

The ground around the flames began to char and crystallize. The reason the K23 Element showed an unstoppable trend after its appearance was that the two energy forms—human Golden Zone and nuclear fusion atomic energy—could be fully fused through the God Element to achieve incredible effects, and Flowing Heart Martial Arts was the realm where this was truly unleashed.

Although there were only two mecha, everyone could still easily distinguish the two Mobile Suits. Every attack from the Underworld Fire Fighter gained momentum; the attacks became faster and more ferocious. Just a moment ago, the Black Night Saber could still block, but gradually it could only defend passively. Every strike from the Underworld Fire was accompanied by the roar of flames, as if it were ready at any moment to cast the Black Night Saber into a hell of fire.

This kind of violent scene was unprecedented. The Martians began to grow fanatical. Such a Romero was simply not something others could withstand. Take down the Puppet, and the rest were all trash.

Under such terrifying Zone domination, how could one resist?

The Underworld Fire Fighter grew faster and faster, while the Black Night Saber grew slower and slower. It looked like it could only defend passively. But don't forget, Romero still had one lethal Instant Movement. Perhaps he could only use it once, but under such absolute suppression, this Instant Movement would be the finishing blow to end the Puppet. Under the interference of the hell of fire, both the pilot and the mecha were distorted by the flames. It was no longer a regular combat environment; it was an unprecedented predicament.

How much of the Puppet's technique and ability remained?

Aofei and the others were very calm, even relieved. Romero's idea was good; this move was enough against the vast majority of opponents, but he was facing Li Hao.

Could a tactic that even they could think of win? The only thing they were wary of was that Teleportation, but facing Li Hao, that was the only chance. However, if no result was achieved, a lethal counterattack awaited.

Under the violent strikes, the red light flame on the surface of the Black Night Saber resisted the erosion of the melting flames, looking very secure. The defensive posture was to wait for Romero's finishing blow. Under such an intense offensive, and while still burning the Flowing Heart Martial Soul, Romero could not hold on for long.

Romero, meanwhile, hoped to find a flaw through the fierce attack to create an absolute opportunity to release Instant Movement. This was an open scheme; both sides understood!

Romero's Underworld Fire Fighter began to spin, and the entire world of fire spun with it. Like a Hell War God, carrying a massive fiery momentum, it spiraled toward the Black Night Saber, slash after slash. The entire Kepler World was vibrating along with the flames.

Langwu Technique: Undying Hell Hundred Ghost Walk!

Kill, kill, kill, kill.

The entire audience of Martians was boiling. The students of Langwu Academy were red-faced, howling crazily, beating their chests. Absolute attack, the most valiant Lone Wolf!

The violent strikes were continuous; this was definitely a decisive blow. In the rotation, the power of the flames grew stronger, and the flames were being absorbed by the Underworld Fire Fighter. The pressure on the Black Night Saber grew greater.

Boom.

Another slash. The Black Night Saber was still defending steadily—a stability that was simply outrageous. However, at this moment, the ground beneath its feet suddenly cracked and collapsed.

The ground, scorched and crystallized by the flames, finally could not bear it. And in this turn of events, the Underworld Fire Fighter suddenly vanished.

Everyone widened their eyes, but this action of widening their eyes seemed as slow as slow-motion footage.

At this moment, Romero's pupils emitted steaming red light. His soul-based ability was fully unleashed. The entire world was a scorching, distorted red. The mecha moved very slowly, and the Underworld Blade in its hand slashed down in an "eerie" slow motion. Under the red steam, the flying debris and the giant ferns about to fall seemed to have stopped. The Black Night Saber was still looking forward, completely like a statue. At this moment, the world seemed to have stopped.

It was only because the opponent was Li Hao that Romero had meticulously prepared all of this. All the flames were for distraction. His ability was not teleporting a distance, but a scorching Time Dilation ability. When the ability was active, only he could move.

The ability brought huge consumption, but it was an invincible ability. It was finally perfectly executed, and that terrifying enemy had no reaction. A trace of long-suppressed joy finally appeared in Romero's heart. But at this moment, a nightmare appeared: the head of the Black Night Saber suddenly turned, and at the same time, the Blood Moon flipped outward...

The next second, the world returned to its place.

The Underworld Fire Fighter appeared on the right side of the Black Night Saber—the reverse side of the dominant hand, the hardest side to defend. The Underworld Blade slashed down!

In everyone's field of vision, on the flame-filled battlefield, Romero's Underworld Fire Fighter appeared miraculously on the right side of the Black Night Saber. With a full-force blow, the Black Night Saber hastily used a Reverse Blade to block, but that was all it could do.

The question was, could it block it???

Boom.

The Black Night Saber was blasted away, plunging directly into the giant fern jungle. The flame domain exploded, and fire filled the sky, scattering everywhere like a meteor shower.

The whole arena was boiling. The Martian audience had already stood up. This was the strongest Romero!

Romero, Romero, Romero.

Langwu City was already calling out to their Warrior of Faith. Even if this blow didn't kill, it would leave the opponent half-dead. The Black Night Saber had only defended hastily; being able to judge that much was already impressive, but facing such an ability, what could one do?

In the contestant area, several people frowned. They sensed something was not quite right, but they didn't know where. They felt they had missed something. More of them, however, showed wild joy. After all, Romero hadn't just defeated a contestant, but the nightmare that had been weighing on their hearts.

Regardless of winning or losing, at least this person was not invincible. In the world of mecha, anything is possible!

Boom.

The giant ferns exploded. The Black Night Saber soared into the sky, landed, and the Blood Moon swept away the debris.

Clang, clang, clang, clang.

The Black Night Saber walked back to the battlefield step by step. Each step seemed to tread on Romero's heart. Romero's eyes gradually grew crazy, and within the madness was an even more incredible fear. "As expected of you. You could even discover this, you could even control this. You are still you, that bastard. Haha, hahahahaha!"

Everyone present was confused. In fact, the commentators were also baffled; this had already exceeded their domain.

Those present who could truly understand could be counted on one hand.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xilian's mouth, but his face also carried a trace of pity. "Romero's ability is not just fire, but a Time Dilation ability derived from fire. A quite interesting ability."

That was not teleportation, but his own speed being so fast it seemed like teleportation. However, the burden on himself was also terrifying. He didn't know what method Li Hao used to not only judge it but also keep up with that speed.

The Black Night Saber returned to the battlefield. Li Hao was truly very pleasantly surprised; this was one of the most interesting powers he had encountered. "A pity, it's not yet mature. Are you still able?"

Romero licked his lips, his pupils shrinking violently. His full power was only the other party's interest. What a pathetic world. "How could I not be? You can defeat me, but we Martians still have Basta. He is stronger than me. Martians cannot be ruled by you forever!"

Romero tore off his eye patch, and the director immediately gave him the camera, even though he didn't know what had happened. It was clearly a situation where Romero had a huge advantage, yet he spoke so tragically.

Everyone knew Romero was one-eyed, but it seemed no one had ever seen the condition of his other eye, nor did they know how he had gone blind.

That eye had no white, it was pitch black.

One black and one red; at this moment, the black eye began to emit a black radiance, one red and one black, accompanied by the roar of Romero, the dissipating flames ignited once more.

Flowing Heart Martial Arts Yin-Yang Fire Dragon Soul Origin!

"He is going all out."

"Burning his life force? Last time he used it, he went blind in one eye; this time, I wonder what price he will have to pay."

And at this moment, the red radiance on the surface of the Night Fighter suddenly turned into gold.
