Chapter 477: Altering the Heavens
Chapter 477: Altering the Heavens
The scattered and enlarged ring fragments resembled a large-caliber shotgun, firing a dense barrage of 'bullet holes' across Cake Island.
Compared to a simple Overwhelming Shot, the Overwhelming Aura imbued onto physical objects was evidently more powerful. Combined with Sage's abilities, this single attack could pierce through the island, leaving it riddled with holes.
Following the ring fragment assault, a continuous stream of Overwhelming Shots further intensified the attack.
Whoosh!
From the bombed ruins, a thick arm extended first, creating a shockwave that blasted the surrounding debris. Then, a purple sword aura surged upwards, extinguishing the Overwhelming Shots still falling from the sky.
"Sage, have you grown weaker?"
Charlotte Linlin stood in a deep pit, gazing upwards, "Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm! Perhaps I should give you some rest time!"
Her body showed no signs of injury.
A figure swiftly descended from the sky, striking the ground with immense force, stirring up a cloud of dust. As the dust settled, Sage's figure became visible to her.
"Don't get the wrong idea. I just wanted to test my normal combat strength," he grinned menacingly.
In terms of Overwhelming Aura intensity, their auras were already on par. However, strength wasn't solely about willpower; physical strength, combat skills, and ability utilization were equally crucial.
His attacks could shake the old hag's massive body and send her flying far away. Compared to before, when he needed to directly activate his transformation, he had grown significantly.
"Oh? Using me as an experiment? Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, that's so like you, Sage!"
Charlotte Linlin tightened her grip on the sword hilt, and a purple soul aura like mist emanated from her body, enhancing her might and terror.
"Don't call me 'little ghost'!"
Sage's body was enveloped in white vapor, like a white cocoon, before tearing it apart like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.
Buzz!
The sky, which had already been pierced, split once more, forming a ravine that extended to the edge of visibility.
The entire sky was torn in half by the collision of Tyrant Auras!
"If you keep calling me that, you'll become a dead ghost!"
As the white vapor dissipated, Sage's hair blazed white like flames, and his face bore Tyrant Aura markings that extended to the back of his neck. With his shirt torn open, the markings continued down his entire back and lower abdomen, resembling a black and red armor.
"Full Form · Triple Tenfold!"
The white vapor dissipated, and black and red thunder began to coil around Sage. As he took a step forward, the thunder rumbled, and his palm rose vertically, meeting the sky. His cape emitted electricity, intertwining with the aura around his hand blade.
"Vajra Kingdom Split Strike!!"
The two had fought before, and this warm-up in their normal forms was already intense. Sage went straight for a powerful attack!
Boom, boom, boom!
The hand blade, guided by Sage's surprise attack, made the air tremble and the ground of Cake Island shudder. Not only the center but even distant buildings crumbled, and those by the sea weren't spared. The nearby seawater rippled and surged onto the island, engulfing the coastal structures.
Charlotte Linlin's eyes widened, and she gripped her curved blade tightly, summoning the flames of Prometheus to envelop it. The intense fire made the blade thicker and more menacing.
Zeus was nowhere to be seen, leaving her with one less ally. Sage clearly wasn't going to give him the chance to transform into a soul-like thundercloud again.
But, "Do you think I'm weakened without Zeus?"
The flame-engulfed blade was raised, and the erupting flames turned the surroundings into a sea of fire.
"Emperor Sword · Tyrant Sovereign!!"
The thunder-clad palm and the flaming blade clashed violently, creating a massive wave of energy and causing the ground beneath Charlotte Linlin's feet to crumble from the center.
As if a sword had drawn a circle from the center of the island, everything outside this circle transformed into a series of smaller islands, breaking away from the center and changing into separate entities.
Cake Island, the headquarters of Big Mom's Pirates, crumbled!
In the only remaining central area, countless structures were reduced to rubble in an instant, leaving a vast expanse of open space. Within this space, only lightning from above and flames from below clashed and held each other in a stalemate.
Sage's hand blade and Charlotte Linlin's sword never made contact; their Overwhelming Aura clashed and intertwined on the surface of their bodies, creating irregular compressed shocks that continued to burst and tear through the area.
Both of them remained unaffected by the changes around them, their focus entirely on each other.
In terms of defense, that steel body was indeed formidable, impervious to ordinary attacks. Even Sage, in his current state, couldn't break through it.
And at this level of collision, Charlotte Linlin could maintain it for a long time, not to mention Sage, whose Overwhelming Aura was akin to an infinite supply.
Boom!!
It wasn't until the land beneath Charlotte Linlin's feet cracked into fragments and sank into the sea that flames erupted from beneath her, propelling her upward and deflecting Sage's hand blade.
"Die!"
The fiery slash from her blade aimed straight for Sage, whose chest was left wide open.
"It won't be that easy!" Sage snarled, dark clouds forming beneath his feet. He quickly regained his stance, clenching his fist to meet the curved blade, and unleashed a shockwave that momentarily caused the seawater beneath them to sink into a depression.
Bang!
"Heavenly Demon Bold Strike Void!"
Sage's fist clashed with Charlotte Linlin's descending blade, and they immediately deflected each other. He then spread his fingers, breaking a ring on one of his fingers, and quickly formed a ball of Overwhelming Aura, throwing it directly at her.
This time, he didn't enlarge it but increased its speed and weight, aiming to pierce the old hag's forehead with a single strike.
But before he could react, Charlotte Linlin blocked his attack with her sword for a moment. The fireball beneath her feet erupted, causing her body to dodge his attack and slash out with her blade.
As the dark clouds beneath Sage dissipated, he kicked off into the air, quickly dodging the slash and using Moon Step to shoot towards Charlotte Linlin, punching out again.
Boom!!
Just then, their previous attacks landed in the sea, one after the other.
The ring Sage had thrown formed a whirlpool in the sea, continuously drawing in the ocean currents.
Charlotte Linlin's slash cut through the sea, parting the waters. As the flames and seawater intertwined, steam rose, and the seawater began to boil as if something at the bottom had been sliced open.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Fire and lightning, blades and fists, purple lightning against black-red electricity, clashed in the air, constantly appearing and disappearing amidst the exploding shockwaves.
This was no sparring session, nor a warm-up.
Every move they made was executed with full force, unleashing the maximum power they could muster.
Proficient users of Tyrant Aura possessed the might to alter natural phenomena and indirectly destroy the environment.
If this battle continued, it wouldn't be long before this place became a peculiar sea with a whirlpool that devoured everything and steam that could heat the seawater.
