"Oh? You're here to be my opponent? Then come on."
"He was only at the fourth level of the Void Breaking Realm before, but now he's at the fifth level. That's incredible."
"But it doesn't make any difference. Garbage should stay in the trash can."
Shuten-dōji watched as Horace approached, a disdainful expression on his face.
To be honest, this guy's appearance and physique really make him look like an androgynous child.
They look exquisitely beautiful and are incredibly cute, the kind of child any parent would want to raise, especially in terms of appearance.
However, when he puts on that adult-like expression, the situation changes completely.
The feeling of cuteness has disappeared, replaced by a contradictory sense of dislocation.
This unique feeling made the adorable child appear "ugly".
"Even though they are all at the fifth level of the Void Breaking Realm, there are still differences in their levels. Do you understand what I mean?"
Shuten-dōji raised a finger and pointed it at Horace.
In an instant, the beam of light was emitted.
That was pure, primordial power of the world; it exploded immediately upon hitting Horace.
"Hmm? It seems you used some tricks."
Shuten-dōji narrowed his eyes.
"Holy light refraction is the result of refined manipulation through the interaction between light and light."
Hera pondered the principles of this unique secret technique.
To put it bluntly, it's just a mirage, creating a false image of light and shadow.
This move isn't particularly unique; in fact, anyone with even a slightly stronger sense of perception could detect it immediately.
It's a move that's neither good enough to use, nor good enough to discard.
Hera first created a phantom of light of himself, and then used refraction to conceal his true form.
After becoming invisible, they used comet-like movements to create distance.
What he needs to do now is not to confront Shuten-dōji head-on.
"You're hiding, aren't you? I'm the one who's a 'virgin,' but your childlike heart is stronger than mine."
Want to play hide-and-seek? I've never lost.
"Because I will destroy everything, there's no point in you hiding anywhere."
Shuten-dōji said, raising his delicate little hand, and a surge of power gathered in his palm.
Then, without hesitation, he unleashed that power.
Like a giant egg, its radiance shines and spreads continuously.
"Of course I can sense things, but I think that's too much trouble."
"Just destroy everything."
In wartime when radar and reconnaissance systems were not well-developed.
When facing a hidden enemy, the solution is to attack with weapons of mass destruction.
Direct, saturation attacks are sufficient to ensure that every area is hit.
There's no point in hiding anywhere, because everything has been destroyed.
Heras was hit so hard that he was thrown off his feet.
This invisibility technique, in the end, is nothing more than manipulating light and shadow effects.
"I've found you."
Shuten-dōji looked as if he had found an interesting toy, and he raised his hand, making a "gun" gesture.
A beam of light flashed forward and struck Heras in mid-air.
At this moment, the two beast kings who were locked in battle with the Yamata no Orochi wore sorrowful expressions.
"This is troublesome. I never expected that we would be the ones holding everyone back."
"The Lionheart said, a sorrowful expression on his face.
"That's right. Although we have broken through to the fifth level of strength, we still have no way to control this power."
The Tiger King nodded.
Their skill level has indeed reached the fifth level.
The problem is that they were only at the first level of strength before.
Although I work very hard to cultivate, strength is something that cannot be improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
Unless it's someone like Jiang Wang who's got cheat codes.
If a newcomer to the martial arts world possesses the extraordinary internal energy that a great hero infuses into his entire body...
If he doesn't know how to use it, then it's all for nothing.
That's the current situation for the two beast kings.
After Heras entered the fifth level, he was able to perfectly circulate this power and even make a slight breakthrough.
However, when it came down to the two of them, it only dealt the bare minimum damage.
If the two of them had put in a little more effort, they might have already defeated Orochi.
Now, however, their combined attack has been suppressed by Orochi.
The World Serpent army began its counterattack, and the warriors of the War God Path gradually could not hold out.
It can be said that the front line has reached the point of collapse.
This is a true "desperate situation".
The God of War can turn the tide in a losing situation, but if the situation is truly beyond saving, their fighting spirit will dissipate and their fighting energy will weaken.
They could no longer continue fighting.
The current situation is an absolute advantage for the members of World Serpent.
"Damn it, didn't we make an appointment with the World Serpent people? Weren't some of them supposed to betray Shuten-dōji?"
"Why haven't they made a move yet? What are they waiting for?"
The Three Musketeers also participated in the battle, and they wore sorrowful expressions.
"Is there even a question? They're the moles, and they're sitting comfortably on the safe shore."
"Why bother getting involved in this mess?"
Lucky Cowboy Winner shook his head.
"Of course we'll help the strong, not the weak. They're not stupid."
If they fail to achieve an overwhelming advantage, these hidden moles will not take any action.
"Aren't you very lucky? Quickly use your invincible power of luck to think of a solution!"
The three musketeers, desperate for a solution, hoped that the Wynners could be created.
"Sometimes we do have to believe in luck, but it won't work if we always rely on luck to get things done."
Winner said that the revolver in his hand was out of bullets.
We are now in a desperate situation, a complete and utter dead end.
If we can truly believe in the power of luck, then it can indeed play its role.
"Let's pray. That's all we can do now."
Winner shook his head, spread his hands, and showed a helpless expression.
The World Serpent is in a favorable situation, while the God of War is in a disadvantageous situation. So, who should fight in this desperate situation?
That's the temple, of course!
The light of salvation is the light of miracles; it can reverse all adversity and shake off all evil in the world.
Perhaps the prayers really worked, or perhaps luck really did come into play.
Just at this critical moment, Jiang Wang finally arrived at the scene.
"What a sorry state we've been in, Horace. I'm sorry, but the enemy's strength has exceeded our expectations."
Jiang Wang said, clutching the falling Heras in his hand. This loyal subordinate was already covered in wounds.
"Don't worry, I'll get my revenge for all the injuries you suffer."
Jiang Wang's gaze hardened.
