"This power of yours can restrain me in my current form."
"But in reality, I have gone far beyond anything you can comprehend."
"Now, take a good look at my true power—"
At this moment, Satan seemed to realize that the power used by the Holy Pharaoh seemed to be able to restrain its current form.
Then, it began to use various supernatural powers.
Time slows down, space distorts, illusions are generated, thoughts are disturbed...and just one of these is enough to cause ordinary life to collapse instantly, and even cognition will be distorted.
However, Lin Ke's response was still the primitive punches and kicks.
Time Warp - Straight Punch!
Space shattered—upper punch!
Illusions are created - boxing combination!
Lin Ke's skills are still simple and repetitive.
"What......"
"What--"
"What?!"
Satan unleashed one abstract and non-specific mysterious power after another, but Lin Ke responded with only simple and repetitive punches.
At this moment, the confrontation between the two is like the collision of two completely different philosophical systems.
On the one hand, there is the complex, changeable, mysterious and unpredictable chaos theory.
On the other hand, there is the simple, direct, and natural law of materialism.
"Why? Why on earth is this happening?"
Satan was forced to retreat after a fierce confrontation.
Its shape had become uneven and mottled, with some parts even appearing to be fractured, where even the shadows began to fold.
Apparently, Satan's "emotion" seemed to be about to collapse.
"Why are you immune to my abilities? Why do you have an essence that can hurt me? This doesn't make sense!"
Lin Ke said nothing, but moved closer again, punching the enemy to death with every blow.
Satan's demonic power is rapidly declining at an extremely terrifying speed.
It looked into Lin Ke's eyes and seemed to have thought of something.
“We must find a breakthrough!”
"We must find out what he really fears!"
"This seemingly invincible mortal must have some weakness!"
"If I can't find his weakness, I won't be able to defeat him!"
Satan murmured a few words softly and adjusted his attack method again.
It began to mobilize the most original demonic power, which came from the bottom of the abyss, from the beginning of chaos, and from the boundary where all rationality and irrationality intersected.
Black energy flowed out from its body like liquid, rendering everything around it into a terrifying space of scarlet and darkness.
"Every existence must have weaknesses!"
"This is a fundamental principle of the universe, just as light needs darkness to be defined, strength needs weakness to contrast, and perfection needs flaws to be revealed."
Its shape began to change, no longer maintaining a single form, but constantly reorganizing itself like a kaleidoscope.
Obviously, those changes each correspond to a possible way of attack, a possible way to defeat the Holy Pharaoh.
"Tell me, Holy Pharaoh—"
"Where is the fear in your heart?"
"Is it the loss of your kingship? Or trust and betrayal? Or is it your mission that cannot be completed?"
As questions arise, the environment begins to change, presenting corresponding illusionary scenes.
The entire space is transformed into a huge psychological theater, performing various possibilities regarding power, loyalty, betrayal, and sacrifice.
Lin Ke still maintained that simple and unpretentious fighting posture, not at all moved by the changes around him.
He just quietly observed every scene that Satan showed him, but he looked as calm as a scholar observing experimental data.
There, there were scenes of Lin Ke’s father and mother being tortured, as well as illusions of the collapse of the Holy Egyptian Empire.
There are afterimages of absolutely invincible enemies, and even scenes of being powerless in a fight with a succubus.
There was Nantong’s denial, Ramses’ betrayal, and Baphomet’s rebellion as a demon.
There is even a scene where everyone in the world betrays Lin Ke and wants to kill him.
But all these methods were like a drop in the ocean, and did not arouse even the slightest fear reaction in Lin Ke.
Then, Satan collapsed.
"impossible!"
Satan roared, gathering the remaining strength in his body.
At this time, it planned to concentrate its strength in one place and respond to Lin Ke in a simple way.
It turned into a physical entity and threw a thick arm heavily towards Lin Ke.
But Lin Ke only needed one punch to turn its arm into a shadow.
"ah--"
The pain was so real that Satan even had difficulty breathing in this virtual space.
"Why is my prediction completely ineffective? Why can't I predict your next move?"
"Why, none of it worked?"
"What power? What kind of power is this?"
"Who are you?"
Satan stumbled back, shocked. It tried to fight back, but found that its power was greatly weakened in this space.
Lin Ke didn't pause, but just threw an elbow, hitting Satan's abdomen accurately.
This was followed by a series of combination punches.
A left hook hit the chin, a right straight punch to the chest, and a knee to the abdomen.
Satan was struggling to defend himself, his body constantly being beaten and deformed, but barely recovering thanks to his strong vitality.
But the pain is real. The feeling of being defeated by physical force is something it has never experienced in thousands of years.
"Why?!"
Satan dodged and roared.
"You're just a projection! An illusion!"
"Why?!"
Lin Ke's fist was about to drive it crazy.
"What are you afraid of?"
It asked in a hissing voice, its voice almost breaking, like the howl of some beast before its death.
"Everyone has weaknesses, and every soul has cracks!"
"You can't be an exception!"
After hearing this, Lin Ke finally put down his hands that made Satan feel extremely frightened.
"What am I afraid of?"
The Holy Pharaoh in front of Satan, the Holy Pharaoh who remained calm and composed.
On that expressionless face, Satan finally saw a slight change in Lin Ke's brows.
"What am I afraid of..."
Lin Ke's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he seemed to be lost in deep thought.
While Lin Ke was thinking, those trembling shadows were slowly withdrawing from Lin Ke, as if they wanted to escape.
At this moment, Lin Ke suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"I know what I'm afraid of."
Lin Ke finally spoke, and Satan, who was not far away, listened carefully to Lin Ke's words.
"I was afraid you'd run away."
After saying that, Lin Ke raised his fists again.
