Chapter 457: A Man Like a God

On the main battlefield, Maxis continued his frantic assault on Li Hao's Armor Tiger. Maxis finally revealed his own ability: Wind Fire Ability. The azure flames crushed those of Luo Bi. Not only that, but within the wind and fire, there was the sound of thunder. This was a rare triple ability. Under the operation of the God of War Maxis, the Flame Thunder Sword Technique was unleashed with wide, sweeping motions, but...

Boom.

The God of War Maxis was knocked into the air. With a loud explosion, the Armor Tiger fighter soared into the sky and fired a shot.

In mid-air, the God of War Maxis's wing system opened, its engine roaring. It executed an exquisite downward spin to dodge the Overlord Fighter's attack. The rashly attacking Overlord Fighter suddenly fell into a passive state. The Armor Tiger's hovering system was very outdated; let alone flying, even hovering was difficult to control. The opportunity had arrived!

Circling behind, Maxis let out a roar, and the heavy sword burning with violent blue flames slashed down directly. At this moment, the hearts of all of Maxis's supporters were in their throats.

Boom.

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, Maxis's God of War Maxis was sent flying backward upon impact, slamming heavily into the ground. It dragged for over ten meters, knocking down dozens of giant ferns before coming to a stop.

The whole world went quiet, looking up at the Armor Tiger still suspended in the air. Under the support of the massive golden light and flames, the Armor Tiger showed no signs of falling.

The big screen had already shown the replay. At the moment the God of War Maxis attacked, the Armor Tiger performed a side-turning counter-thrust, like a poisonous dragon spitting its tongue, striking first by arriving later. That side-turning thrust was as fast as a startled swan and as fluid as a swimming dragon, directly avoiding the great sword and stabbing toward the God of War Maxis's cockpit. What blocked it was not the great sword, but Maxis's Titanium Shield.

At the moment of life and death, Maxis had reacted.

The whole world would have to re-evaluate this man.

The Tianjing Martial Arts supporters at the scene could no longer control their emotions and roared wildly, "A man like a god!"

"Puppet is invincible!"

"Puppet is invincible!"

A human wave surged through the Galaxy Center. The uniform shouting resounded across the sky of the Moon. The whole world would hear this name.

In the contestant area, Luo Bi, Solomon, and the others also roared regardless of their image. As the number one fanboy, Solomon hugged Luo Bi and gave him a heavy kiss. "How can a golden dragon be a creature of the pond!"

By comparison, the contestants from the Moon and Mars had ugly expressions. Damn it, the demon's rule was returning. It was clear that he could perform aerial maneuvers even with the Golden Zone and the Armor Tiger's inferior hovering capability.

No wonder he chose the Armor Tiger so arrogantly.

Anlita and the others also understood why Xilian had said "it doesn't matter." It really didn't matter.

Whatever Armor Tiger, Armor Dragon, Armor Leopard, or Black Night Saber—the opponents weren't strong enough to threaten him.

Zing.

The God of War Maxis flew out and returned to the battlefield. Weijia and Wuzang had traded blows, Taichen and Zuo Xiaotang were still locked in a struggle, and Jie Jie was being hunted by Zhou Naiyi. He no longer needed to wait.

Thinking of this, Maxis felt a sense of relief. What remained was no longer about the team battle, but his own fight.

The God of War Maxis slowly walked toward the battlefield, and the Armor Tiger in the air also descended.

"Li Hao, I've been thinking about a question for these five years: if I had fought with all my strength back then, would it have changed the result?" Maxis said.

The whole world went quiet for an instant. The various commentators were also bewildered. What did he mean? The battle from five years ago? What battle?

"What did you come up with?" Li Hao smiled.

"If I had gone up, I might have regretted it for a minute," Maxis smiled, but it gradually turned bitter, "but by not going up, I've regretted it for five years."

Maxis let out a long sigh. "The moment I won the championship, I was smugly trying to deceive myself, but when I couldn't feel any joy, I started preparing for today's battle. Whether it was you or Xilian, I didn't expect both of you to come."

"Then you might not be able to wait for Xilian," Li Hao said.

"Haha, perhaps. My talent is not as good as yours and Xilian's, but today I have a reason to win!" Maxis's gaze was firm. "After winning the championship, Weijia and the others gave up a lot, a lot, along with me. Training, preparing, day after day, night after night, just for today. I have prepared three swords. Please enlighten me."

The God of War Maxis held his great sword horizontally and tapped his shield. This was a tribute from the champion Team Leader, the God of War Maxis.

Fire energy, wind swirls, and a golden tornado shot straight into the sky. Within the tornado, thunder rumbled, and the image of a massive Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared.

Flowing Heart Martial Arts—Golden Dragon Soul!

This was hailed as the highest-level Soul during the S Tournament.

Such a comprehensive, terrifying God of War Maxis, with the talent of a triple ability—was his aptitude insufficient? Was his talent poor?

Not as good as Li Hao and Xilian?

All the live streams had fallen into a frenzy. It seemed there was some truth they didn't know. Li Hao, an ordinary second-year student at Tianjing Martial Arts, who seemed to have struggled at the passing line in his first year and hung around the Xuni Qu, emerged suddenly in his second year, shocking the world with a single feat. Xilian, heir to a financial group, genius scientist, was a vegetable five years ago, hanging by a thread, and now had led the Hailong Team into the finals. Sun Soul, the best in the world, could be called a perfect man.

Countless questions. It seemed Li Hao and Xilian were the true destined ones of this S Tournament, and the God of War Maxis only had the possibility of fighting for his life.

Energy condensed, and the great sword was raised high.

The Armor Tiger fighter's Tyrant Spear also lifted, pointing at the God of War Maxis.

The next second, the God of War Maxis flashed and disappeared.

Heaven Heart Sword—Flame Thunder Double Sword!

A massive light sword slashed toward the Armor Tiger fighter, splitting the heavens and the earth. At this moment, the Armor Tiger fighter no longer had the Titanium Shield, and the Armor Tiger had no momentum. Dodge?

The ground exploded, gravel steamed, and everything around was blown away by the hurricane. There was nowhere left to dodge.

The Armor Tiger fighter extended the Overlord, placing it across its chest. A golden light extended, blocking in front of the Armor Tiger fighter.

Rumble.

The God of War Maxis's violent energy slammed directly into the golden light shield. It was like a raging sea crashing against the clouds, as if it wanted to crush the Armor Tiger in one breath... More than ten seconds later, the light and flames dissipated. With the Armor Tiger's position as the axis, a massive gully had formed; the ground had been gouged out into a deep trench over ten meters long by the energy.

And the Armor Tiger fighter, standing alone in the center, was unscathed.

The tense scene erupted into cheers instantly.

Maxis was not too surprised. If this level of ability combination could destroy Li Hao, then he wouldn't be Li Hao.

Maxis's fighting spirit remained high. "The second sword, a flash of inspiration from when I stood at the peak."

The God of War Maxis began to emit intense light, like the sun. Ma Long and Huo Ying in the Tianjing operation room were holding hands, too damn nervous. Seeing Maxis glowing, Ma Long jumped up. "Holy crap, how did he steal my move!"

The dazzling light illuminated the entire arena. The God of War Maxis's wings spread out, hovering in the air like an angel of war. That dazzling light seemed to have substance, covering and penetrating the entire battlefield.

Heaven Heart Sword—Myriad Avatars!

Instantly, the God of War Maxis disappeared, and the next moment it appeared in front of the Armor Tiger, followed by one, two, three, four.

Dozens of God of War Maxis appeared, launching attacks toward the Armor Tiger.

Illusions?

Every strike produced a collision. This didn't seem like an illusion???

Light Energy Matrix. This was Maxis's fourth ability. Under the Light Matrix, the God of War Maxis could defy inertia and gravity to perform high-speed movements of any form. In an instant, hundreds of heavy strikes slashed toward the Armor Tiger.

"Kill, kill, kill! Son of Light, great War God, hack him to death!" Huonan's eyes were blood-red, shouting frantically, spittle flying from his mouth.

This speed of attack was no longer something that could be resisted on a physical level; in an instant, countless swords pointed simultaneously at the Armor Tiger mecha.

Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart!

Yet at this moment, the Armor Tiger mecha was enveloped by a circular light shield, motionless, as all the earth-shattering heavy swords struck it.

However, no matter how the greatswords bombarded it, they could not shake it in the slightest.

That thin layer of light shield was as indestructible as a dimensional barrier; infinite despair was spreading.

Watching Maxis continue his frantic attacks, the hearts of the once incomparably confident Moon People wavered at this moment... Could it be that this person was truly invincible?

The proud Moon People actually began to pray; the War God's countless female fans already had eyes filled with tears, not daring to watch any longer.

*Ting. *

The Tyrant Spear suddenly struck out, and the countless War God gazes condensed into one in an instant; Maxis's expression was somewhat twisted as he took it head-on. *Po... *

The War God gaze paused for a second as if struck by Electricity, the Golden Dragon Soul burst, and he was instantly sent flying backward; Maxis let out a wild roar, blood spraying directly from his mouth, but the mecha forcibly came to a halt.

The world fell silent.

Only absolute power can make the doubters quiet.

The Armor Tiger did not pursue; at this moment, everyone knew that Li Hao was giving Maxis a chance.

This was looking down on Maxis from what kind of height and position.

The reason for giving Maxis a chance was because this was Maxis; others would not have such treatment. Since the time of the Apocalypse, Li Hao had quite appreciated this person—he had principles, it was just that their stances were different. During the siege, he had clearly held back some strength, keeping everything within limits.

This face, Li Hao would give.

It was just that there was not much time left for Maxis.

The Galaxy's legend, the Galaxy's hegemony—whether it would continue or collapse depended on this final moment.

Maxis wiped the blood from his mouth; he hadn't experienced this taste of blood for a long time, but a gratified smile appeared on his face. He calmly discarded the Titanium Shield, the light flames burned once more, the giant dragon roared, and the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon Soul condensed again.

But this was simply not enough; low growls continued, and the giant dragon's light silhouette was also struggling.

The whole world was watching; the Armor Tiger did not take the opportunity to attack, letting Maxis power up, and Maxis had no misgivings either, because he knew Li Hao would not take the opportunity to ambush him—if for no other reason, this was Li Mo!

Blood began to seep out from Maxis's ears, nose, and eyes; the violent Golden Zone was still rising, stepping by step breaking through the limits of the flesh.

Whether at the scene or in the live broadcast room, everyone saw the War God's will and determination.

The giant dragon in the sky condensed into gold; it seemed to be struggling intensely, but regardless of everything, it slowly spat out a brilliant Dragon Pearl.

The War God gaze ascended into the sky; the K23 Titanium Greatsword in his hand had completely melted, turning into pure energy.

Li Hao's Armor Tiger raised its head, looking at Maxis in the sky, "Along the way, Romero's blade left a deep impression on me. We are all old friends; I'll borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and send you a blade."
