Chapter 468

After using the power of the Small Universe, Luode's attack power increased more than tenfold, and his power was also filled with suppressive force; dark god power and fel energy could both cause enormous damage.

Although Kerrigan had obtained the power of several Xel'naga, after all she had just acquired it, this power still could not compare to Luode's, even though both had just stepped into the Primal God realm.

"Your combat talent is quite good, but unfortunately, compared to me now, you're far behind." Luode attacked Sarah Kerrigan violently, leaving this golden big‑angel sister somewhat unable to cope.

"Who will win is still uncertain! Haven't you always wanted a worthy opponent? Here I am." Sarah Kerrigan snorted coldly; the two pairs of wings behind her burst forth with soaring golden light, then turned into an invisible divine force that attacked Luode.

Luode calmly countered with the Small Universe, then dealt Sarah Kerrigan a heavy blow, directly sending this already‑advanced Xel'naga flying.

Even when he was still a mortal, Luode had mastered the Pirate World's Three‑Color Ambition and powerful Observation Ambition; after being empowered by divine force and magnified by the Small Universe, every move of Sarah Kerrigan appeared in his eyes like a slow‑motion replay.

He even gained the future‑seeing ability of the Observation Ambition area, and could see farther. (Here it explains the protagonist's future‑seeing ability: against opponents of the same level, he can also predict what will happen a few minutes later.) When Sarah Kerrigan was about to unleash a move, Luode could already see her next few attacks.

To be frank, Luode's strength is now formidable; he is almost at the peak of the Primal God level, and it can even be said that at this tier no one can match him in combat.

Sarah Kerrigan's strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Titan, and even compared to Sargeras before he used the Primal God Power Fruit and Heavenly God Power, she is slightly stronger.

But compared to Luode, she is still far behind; even this battle made Luode feel a bit bored.

Their battle appeared violently intense, even making the whole Void Space tremble, but Luode had actually been holding back; if Luode now unleashed his full power...

... he could even shatter this Void World and destroy the universes beneath it, for there is more than one universe below this Void World.

At this moment, Amon, who was watching the show from the sidelines, together with another minor Xel'naga, were all struck with fear.

"That guy is simply too strong! That newly‑born Xel'naga is no match for him!" Narud, standing beside Amon, spoke cautiously.

We're both Xel'naga, why is the gap so huge? I am also a newly‑born Xel'naga.

"This isn't the most important point; the most important is that this newly‑advanced Xel'naga Sarah Kerrigan possesses the psionic power of several ancient Xel'naga and life essence, making her stronger than you and I combined." Amon said.

His own underling couldn't see clearly, but he could see it perfectly clear: if this fight were taken over by him, either of those two casually pulled out could easily thrash him.

He would be defeated without any chance to retaliate! Even if Narud teamed up with him, it would be the same.

"Lord Amon, what should we do? If that Sarah Kerrigan wins, will we, will we be killed by him?" Arud asked cautiously.

Earlier, when they were in the Lower Realm, the two of them had constantly been seeking trouble for Sarah Kerrigan; if the other side wanted to settle accounts, things would become complicated, and more importantly, their current identities are traitors among the Xel'naga.

But who is to blame for this? Like Amon, he too is dissatisfied with his race vanishing for no reason; although they have become the creator‑god race of the universe, they are still bound by that ancient reincarnation law—who would accept such a strange reincarnation?

In a void‑filled prison they slumbered, then went forth to spread life, and immediately after sacrificed their own lives.

"Sarah Kerrigan isn't a match for the Xel'naga; she absolutely cannot win—I'm 100% certain of this." Amon said.

Although driven back into the Void World, he still observed Luode's actions afterward; essentially the two had no direct conflict of interest—he wished to shape a brand‑new universe, while Luode merely wanted to fight a powerful opponent.

If Sarah Kerrigan were defeated, he would have no reason to come into conflict with himself.

"Indeed, as you said, this young clansman will fail, so we must stop all this." An elder Xel'naga appeared before Amon.

This is the ancient Xel'naga who had just brought Sarah Kerrigan into the Xel'naga tomb.

"You, you're not dead? I thought you had already died—didn't you give your essence to her? Or are you also afraid, unwilling to obey the Xel'naga's ridiculous rule?" Amon turned to look at his fellow clansman and spoke.

According to past reincarnation, when this universe reaches its end, the Xel'naga before us should contribute all of its essence energy.

He had just assumed that in the inheritance place the other would transfer all of its life essence to Sarah Kerrigan, but he never expected this old coot to actually use a fellow clansman's corpse instead of his own essence.

"Indeed, the reincarnation is as such, but too many of our brothers have been ambushed and killed by you, Amon; the new Xel'naga needs a guide, and that guide certainly cannot be you." The elder Xel'naga said.

If we could ensure that the new Xel'naga kills Amon and deals with that external strong enemy, then he would naturally sacrifice his life and obey the ancient reincarnation.

But the problem is, this formidable enemy before us is absolutely not something this newly‑born Xel'naga can oppose!

The two are not on the same level at all; although their life ranks are similar, the power the other commands far surpasses Sarah Kerrigan's.

Sarah Kerrigan merely inherited Xel'naga power, whereas the other possesses several powers that are not inferior to Xel'naga and can be used.

Even the power that multiplies one's own attack power by dozens of times is the most terrifying.

"What do you want? Old coot, you wouldn't come to me for no reason—spill your plan." Amon said.

"My plan is simple: have the four Xel'naga join forces, then use the sealing formation and our race's most ancient power." The elder Xel'naga said.

"You, you actually want us to sacrifice ourselves to seal him?" Amon exclaimed in shock.

The ancient Xel'naga possesses boundless knowledge, and the Xel'naga's knowledge is all shared.

They have a special tactic: sacrifice the lives of four Xel'naga, then employ massive sealing power to directly seal a life.

This sealing power is immensely strong; it can seal all of the opponent's powers, even the soul will be sealed away—it is an extremely terrifying spell, and since its inception the Xel'naga have basically never used it.

But now, to deal with this powerful external foe, they must employ this kind of competitive power.

Earlier, at the Xel'naga inheritance site, he had already persuaded Sarah Kerrigan; now he needs to convince these two fellow clansmen.

"Exactly, we'll use that move; we happen to have four Xel'naga right here." The elder Xel'naga said.

The opponent's ability is indeed strong and very strange, but overall his life rank has not crossed their tier, nor does it completely surpass the Xel'naga race.

Therefore, in theory this sealing technique can imprison the opponent, sealing his life and soul completely, turning him into a utter lifeless corpse.

"But if we four all die, then there will be no new Xel'naga; you wouldn't hope that new life arriving here would automatically accept the inheritance, would you? Moreover, that newly‑born Xel'naga has just obtained this creator‑god power—would he be willing to sacrifice himself?" Amon said.

"What a joke—doing all this isn't it just to live forever and not give away one's essence? We clearly can live forever, so why die?" "Why would we choose a death‑dealing technique? We have no conflict at all; why would we sacrifice our lives alongside you?" Narud, at Amon's side, said.

"What a joke—following Lord Amon is solely to change this tragic fate."

"Rest assured, you need not sacrifice your lives; I will give each of you a share of Xel'naga power, extra Xel'naga force—as long as you consume this power, you will not die." The elder Xel'naga said.

He naturally knows what kind of character these two clansmen have; they became traitors precisely because they refuse to submit to the Xel'naga death cycle—in this situation, having them voluntarily sacrifice their lives to seal the foe is obviously impossible. So he can only grit his teeth and hand over additional Xel'naga energy for them to use in casting the sealing spell.

Although somewhat inferior to the energy of a living Xel'naga, it is still sufficient to seal this lifeform before us.

"If that's the case, we could consider it, but how can I know that afterward you and Sarah Kerrigan won't team up to attack us?" Amon said.

Sarah Kerrigan's aptitude is very good; she can accommodate the power of several Xel'naga. If they really seal this outsider at that time, then they will have to start a civil war then.

Once the civil war starts, even if he and Narud join forces, they are no match for Sarah Kerrigan! 'We have forged an ancient Xel'naga covenant, the Terran Alliance; we are not like you, we are willing to uphold the ancient Xel'naga agreement. As long as you are willing to take part in this sealing, afterwards we will pardon all your crimes.'

'As for your philosophy, we can also discuss it mutually,' said the ancient Xel'naga.

'I understand, I can agree to this demand, but there is still one problem: after resolving this crisis, I will not abandon my own plan,' said Emon.

If it weren't for this powerful external enemy, he would absolutely not be able to cooperate with the ancient Xel'naga before him.

Because their essential philosophies differ, he is unwilling to abide by the ancient Xel'naga agreement, the ancient cycle.

"That also requires you to be able to enter the real universe; if you enter the real universe, I and Shala Kerrigan Gan will together drive you back." The old Salarnaga said.

"Okay, you can fight me in the real universe, but in this void we cannot harm each other's true form." Aimeng said.

He still trusts the reputation of this old clansman; anyway, time is meaningless to their clan.

Internal wars can be resolved internally, but if an external enemy appears, united external action is the wisest choice.

"Then we agree: later we will perform the seal together, and when he gains victory, we will seal him." The old Salarnaga said.

"After sealing it, we might be able to study the power on its body; although sealed, the divine power within it still exists."

"The several kinds of extraordinary divine power within him are also precious to us." Aimeng said.

Such a powerful being, the energy within him is also extremely precious; if we could clearly study the power the opponent possesses.

Then perhaps their Salarnaga race could undergo evolution, becoming a stronger and more perfect existence.

"This will be our shared Salarnaga property; we can study its power together, and perhaps we can thereby resolve our differences." The old Salarnaga said.

In the earliest era when the Salarnaga race had just been born, they already studied various powers together and shared their knowledge, establishing deep friendship and formulating the rules of that reincarnation.

Aimeng is still too young; he does not at all understand the suffering of immortality, but when he lives long enough, he will understand.

Facing endlessly the same thing, the same space, is actually an ultimate punishment.

The Salarnagas established this reincarnation rule precisely so that the elder Salarnagas could end this immortality.

The three Salarnagas quickly agreed on a plan, intending to together seal Luode.

On another battlefield, Luode had already seized absolute advantage; Shala Kerrigan Gan was no match for him, and he hadn't even unleashed half his power, yet this golden-haired archangel could not withstand him.

"It seems you still can't satisfy me!" Luode looked at Shala Kerrigan Gan before him with regret and said.

Although Shala Kerrigan Gan is already quite capable of fighting! Even having just become a Primitive God, she can fight me to this extent; perhaps give her some time and she could become stronger.

Luode considered whether to give him a time acceleration, letting Shala Kerrigan Gan train for a while before fighting him again.

But frankly, without those extraordinary energies—for example, cosmic heavenly god power, order power, titan god power, chakra, life energy, death god power, dark god power—

Then no matter how much one cultivates, unless surpassing the Primitive God realm to reach multiverse level, or comprehending an ultimate power like the bug-level power of the Saint Seiya World.

Otherwise, no matter how he cultivates, he could never be my opponent; could it be that my spatial ability has really gone wrong?

If it weren't for Shala Kerrigan Gan, those few wastes over there also seem not to be my opponent; even if they teamed up, they'd still be no match.

Just as Luode was thinking, the three Salarnagas had already arrived beside Shala Kerrigan Gan.

Vaguely, in a four-corner formation, they surrounded Luode in the middle.

"What are you trying to do, ganging up on me? Frankly, you're not enough for me to take on with one hand." Looking at the gang of Salarnagas surrounding him, Luode shook his head and said.

"Now! Shala!" the old Salarnaga shouted, first bursting forth his own essence energy.

Immediately after, Aimeng and Nalude also burst forth their power, releasing the Salarnaga essence power they had just obtained.

Last to complete was Shala Kerrigan Gan.

The four Salarnagas joined forces, using the essence of four deceased Salarnagas to form a chaotic-colored net-like energy that directly wrapped Luode's body.

Luode instantly turned pale with shock, feeling that his internal energy, even his mental power, was being suppressed; this suppression even prevented his soul from mobilizing his internal power.

"Outsider, you are too dangerous; you would cause unimaginable destruction to this world, so we have no choice but to seal you; you will remain forever in this void." The old Salarnaga said.

"Cut the nonsense, hurry and seal it; its power is immense, unprecedentedly strong." Shala Kerrigan Gan said.

In his life, he had never seen such immense power; he had obtained power enough to create a universe, enough to spread the wellspring of life, yet before this guy it was still completely inadequate.

At this moment Luode's face was extremely grim, just about to unleash his spatial ability to flee directly, but in an instant he seemed to gain a hint of enlightenment.

This, this isn't exactly the life-and-death crisis he wanted? This isn't exactly what he had been seeking?

As it turned out, this was exactly what he wanted.

Realizing this, Luode did not activate his spatial ability to escape, but instead channeled all the energy within his body.

Death god power, titan god power, primitive god power, dark god power, strong life energy, order power—all dumped into his inner microcosm, beginning a full-power explosion.

Luode's whole body blazed with a terrifyingly intense seven-colored light; at this moment, the power of his inner divine microcosm was infinitely amplified.

He began to resist this sealing force, and even the divine microcosm within his body started to develop cracks. (End of chapter)
