he actually possessed the relevant powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the subsequent actions of Li Yu proved this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the two Li Yus disregarded the danger, stepped out from the space-time rifts, and launched a sudden attack on the two demigods, the \"Mad King\" and the \"War Marshal,\" from obscure angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacks launched by Li Yu, who mastered a portion of space-time power, could not be avoided even if these two were in a normal state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would merely be able to withstand them and kill Li Yu during their counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, they could do neither.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restricted clone of the Lord of Judgment could not kill them directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it had fixed a range of torture upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Causing them to fall into extreme pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they immediately sought help from the \"Lord\" behind them, it was of no use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Gods gave the same answer:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no other way but to endure it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you continue to bestow blessings, it will only make the [Lord of Judgment] more excited and angry;

the Mad King had always been wary of the War Marshal’s prestige and had repeatedly tried to find opportunities to execute him, while the latter loathed the Mad King’s weakness and perversion, believing him unworthy of being the Dragon Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, there was the conflict between the True Gods that each of them stood behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a critical moment, encountering such provocation, these two demigods simply could not endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had been in a normal state, they might have been able to reflect and figure out if there was a conspiracy afoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, they only wanted to kill each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the astonished gazes of the rebel forces in the under-hive, the two demigods, bracing themselves against the terrible damage brought by the rust-red sun, roared and collided with one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shocking slaughter erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unclear whether it was because both had suffered insulting attacks during the recent ambush, causing anger to cloud their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps it was because years of conflict were finally being vented through this opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two demigods did not even confront each other;
