The attack was impossibly fast and completely without warning, forcing immediate defensive action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no mistaking it—this attack carried His own power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of His hand, the space before Him seemed to distort, forming a concave barrier that caught the fireball. The projectile gradually slowed before exploding midair, scattering into countless embers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The move appeared effortless, yet His expression darkened considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power behind this attack clearly indicated that far too much of His released energy had been stolen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the attacker's mastery over energy manipulation exceeded all expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That seemingly deranged brute shouldn't have been capable of absorbing so much power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, forcibly absorbing excessive energy would either cause explosive bodily destruction or allow Him to seize control through possession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this opponent demonstrated perfect restraint—only taking what could be safely absorbed, while immediately utilizing any excess by wrapping it around attacks before hurling them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disgusting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struck by the fireball and accompanying verbal insult, He had no time for retaliation—only grimly focusing on energy absorption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just wait until full power was restored...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, after several seconds of intense exchange, Lu Ce and Sun finally disengaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun laughed heartily, exhilarated by finally being able to trade blows with this opponent on equal footing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce examined his right hand—charred by flames, the injury incrementing his Pain Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout this game, he'd accumulated remarkably few Pain Points, likely due to his arrogance preventing intentional self-harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single point thus far had come from burns sustained while fighting Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the golden mask, his brow furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This insect... actually injured him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cracked flesh bore dried, coagulated blood surrounded by a pinkish aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even wielding stolen power, you remain pathetically weak,\" Lu Ce remarked, lifting his gaze toward Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah?\" Sun blinked in astonishment. \"Weren't we pretty evenly matched just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you lost your mind? Your strength was clearly inferior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And while my current power isn't originally mine, can you truly claim yours is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce's hand tightened around the stone handle as he stated impassively:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All power in this world belongs to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also—what exactly did you claim was stronger than mine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lu Ce activated his attribute allocation panel—a measure he hadn't needed in quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not since repeatedly manipulating his vascular system during the previous game's confrontation with Life, which had stockpiled considerable reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pain Points: 106!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Strength: 60.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Speed: 50.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Coordination: 30.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fortune: 3.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spirit: 7.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basic allocation ratio remained steadfast at 2:1. Arrogance dismissed any notion of balance as he prepared to dump every point into Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—something seemed to shatter in his mind, bringing sudden dizziness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warning! Player has reached human Gene Lock limit! Maximum Strength achieved!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jump from 60 to 100 wasn't merely doubling—Lu Ce felt his entire musculature ignite with limitless expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet externally, his physique showed no visible swelling beyond a slight sway before his eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appeared almost... frail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This abrupt shift made spectators tense collectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What's happening? Why the sudden weakness?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[He was fine moments ago! Is he actually losing to Sun now?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Losing to Sun? Sun's incredibly strong too—did you miss the divine energy absorption?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viewers loyal to Lu Ce voiced concerns, while Sun's supporters and Heaven & Earth Society members grew frenzied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes! This is the chance! What are you waiting for, Sun? Finish him!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Strike now! Never waste an opportunity against the top player!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I always knew our leader was strongest! Today marks Heaven & Earth Society's rise!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humanity adored creating gods—but relished watching their fall even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously stable livestream exploded into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Love's Chosen emergence hadn't generated this frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lu Ce's mere eye-closing and swaying sent half the world's hearts into their throats!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most knew nothing of gods—but everyone recognized Sin's legendary status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top player's influence became undeniable in this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Real-world betting sites instantly saw one wager surge to global prominence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Would Sin fall from grace during this game?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? What's wrong? Don't tell me you're giving up after all that big talk,\" Sun remarked, displaying unexpected sportsmanship by not pressing the advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even managed some taunts: \"You wanted me to entertain you? With skills like these, that's proving difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet among all present, Xie Antong—who should've been most concerned—instead took a fearful step backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was terribly wrong with Lu Ce's condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An oppressive aura surrounded him, his very presence distorting magnetic fields according to the All-Seeing Eye's readings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of concept was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when could humans... generate gravity fields?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—\" Sun advanced with fireball in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Lu Ce—still gripping the handle—vanished before reappearing instantly before Sun, massive stone weapon leading the charge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRASH!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boulder made intimate contact with the flame giant as Sun became a streaking comet, sonic booms tripling through the air before leveling a mountain peak and embedding into the next ridge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Repeat that.
