Hearing that there was only so little time left, Yu Liu didn't stop for a moment and ran wildly in one direction at all his might.
The right hand, with its exposed white bone, was stained with blood.
"Three seconds, two seconds, one..."
Bang!!!
A small rocky hill rose abruptly from the ground, crushing the broadcast that was still announcing the numbers.
Golden runes surged across the surface of the hill, extending from the bottom to the very top.
Small rocks gathered at the top of the hill, forming a giant rock sphere.
The moment Hera and Ekalen saw this, they realized that the [ground] that had judged them five years ago... had arrived.
With a burst of golden light, the stone sphere exploded, and in the dust, a figure as resilient as rock was faintly visible.
The rock-formed chest is exposed, with a golden crystal embedded within it.
He stood atop the mountain peak, his fists clenched, his black robes fluttering in the flowing air.
Hera looked up at the other person, her eyes devoid of any emotion. "Long time no see, you who's kept me in a daze for five years."
[Ground] staring at the two below, golden pupils, eyes slightly narrowed.
"[Five Calamities] [Life] Hera Jaeger, collaborated with the Order of the Light, a human organization, and helped humanity complete several senseless killings."
"So what?" Hera suddenly interjected, "Are you going to kill me?"
I sentence you to...death!
"Oh, I thought you were going to ban me for a few more years."
[On the ground] After announcing Hera's punishment, he looked at Ekaren, who clearly paused.
Compared to the composed Hera, Ekaren appeared extremely flustered, trembling incessantly as she lowered her head.
After all, he knew that even if he possessed the ultimate human combat power, there was still a huge gap between him and the true Five Calamities.
"Cooperate with the alien species, and kill..."
Before the words were even finished, a hand suddenly rose from the ground.
He blocked a sharp edge made of blood, which shattered in the air.
He frowned slightly, withdrew his hand, and looked at it.
A clear wound was visible on it, accompanied by a sharp pain.
Then he felt the surroundings slowly turn red, and wisps of blood mist were rising around him, enveloping everything.
Wow!
A crimson slash emerged from the void and struck the ground, which dodged the attack the instant it was about to strike.
The scarlet cut flashed before his eyes, and the small hill made entirely of rock beneath his feet was neatly split in two.
Wow!
Another crimson slash came head-on, and [Ground] raised its rock-encased arm and swung it out to meet it.
The crimson blade shattered, leaving a scratch on his arm.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As more and denser crimson slashes came crashing down like a storm, [Ground]'s eyes narrowed, and he frantically swung his fists, desperately trying to block them.
Scattered blood splattered in all directions, vaguely forming an enemy that was constantly fighting against the ground.
"If you're not going to help, then just stay away."
Hera, standing to the side, chatted with Ekaren in a very relaxed manner.
Aikaren struggled to tear his gaze away from the surrounding blood mist and the storm-swept ground.
"Boss...you've gotten so much stronger..."
So, are you going to help or not?
"I'll help!"
Seeing this, the twin-tailed girl who was trembling nearby forced herself to stand up and hurriedly ran away in one direction.
Just as the two noticed the girl running away, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred on the ground!
[Ground] With a sudden burst of force, the crimson cuts aimed at him were completely shattered.
He aimed at Hera and the other two, and with a sudden burst of strength from his legs, the small hill beneath him was instantly covered in cracks. His sturdy body swayed and disappeared from its original point.
Aikalen tensed up suddenly and retreated in two directions at the same time as the Hera.
The next second, the enormous fist of the ground landed on the spot where the two of them stood, and the solid ground crumbled, creating a huge crater.
Hera and Ekaren faced each other in the air, and colorful wings instantly sprouted from Ekaren's back.
While summoning the Dragonbone Cannon to bombard the ground, they rapidly increased the distance between themselves and the ground.
Hera reached out, and the monstrous metal burst forth from her palm, growing wildly and transforming in the blink of an eye into an iron hammer covered in sharp spikes.
He clenched his fists and slammed them down onto the ground!
With a loud bang, a large amount of smoke and dust was blasted into the air.
The iron hammer in her hand shattered with a crash, and a fist bearing golden runes churned up dust and slammed towards Hera.
Flesh and blood exploded as Hera's abdomen was pierced by a punch, which then protruded from her back.
The flesh healed instantly, embedding the fist that the ground hadn't had time to retract.
Hera plunged her hand into her chest, and when she pulled it out, she held a katana with a serrated blade.
Propelled by Hera's immense power, the serrated katana, accompanied by a deafening roar as it tore through space, slashed straight at the ground's neck.
Snap!
A powerful force erupted from Hera's arm, blasting her to pieces before the blade could even fall.
The serrated katana flew out and landed firmly in the ground.
"You've become much stronger than before, both in terms of raw strength and combat intelligence, you're several times stronger than before."
[On the ground] He moved his right hand, and a look of praise appeared on his face.
Suddenly, I noticed something unusual under my feet.
Several white spears made of pixels suddenly shot out from the ground, but they only touched the ground and did not break through its defenses.
