Chapter 485: The Web of Destiny
Maryka casually reached out, and even though she moved with speed, she was still walking slowly. But as she approached, Smugi subconsciously wanted to retreat.
However, as soon as she realized this, a cold sweat broke out on her temples.
Why?
It wasn't a thought, but an instinctive reaction from her body. Why would she have such a movement?
"Heavenly Origin Starquake."
Before she could think further, Maryka's gentle voice reached her ears, and instinctively, Smugi raised her greatsword, its hilt enveloped in a pure white aura.
In the next instant, a fist struck the blade of her sword.
Boom!!!
The loud impact caused the seawater around the ship to splash in all directions, and the immense force cracked the deck beneath Smugi's feet. The entire ship shattered like broken glass, causing everyone on board to lose their footing and fall into the sea.
"Damn it!"
Smugi couldn't afford to withstand the force of the punch and was shaken by the numbing impact. As she fell, she swung her sword downward, and the recoil from the slash sent her body flying upward.
Just then, a gust of wind blew across her face, and as she glanced, she caught a glimpse of an afterimage before being struck by a heavy blow.
Boom!
Maryka's fist slammed into Smugi's face, sending her flying like a cannonball and landing on a distant cake ship, creating a hole in its hull.
But before Smugi could even stand up, Maryka kicked off from the air, dispersing a cloud of smoke before rushing towards the cake ship. Her fist struck the deck, and with a loud boom, the cake ship was reduced to rubble, revealing Smugi lying in the cabin.
Smugi turned and slashed downward, and the recoil from the strike caused her to bounce in midair. She quickly spun in the air and slashed towards Maryka.
Boom!
However, Maryka's punch shattered the slash, and her dense aura seemed to intensify with her explosive energy. No, it was as if all her power had been concentrated.
Was this person trying to engage in a quick battle with her?
Smugi understood this, but in the air above the vast sea, she had no support, not even a place to land safely. Her counterattacks lacked strength.
After Maryka shattered the slash with a punch, she took a step with Moon Step and approached again. She pressed one hand against the blade of the greatsword, and her immense strength prevented Smugi from pulling her arm, unable to move the sword even slightly.
Maryka's other fist came in without hesitation.
With immense strength and explosive power, her punch landed on Smugi's abdomen. Although the aura of dominance partially blocked the defense, the sheer force easily broke through this barrier and pressed against her stomach.
Boom!
With just one punch, Smugi's body curled up in midair, and as her mouth opened, blood splattered out, indicating intense pain.
The aura of dominance was an auxiliary tool to enhance power. Apart from Norton Sag's ability to use it as an Overwhelming Shot, others who released their aura lacked physical means, resulting in limited effectiveness.
These factors didn't hinder powerful strength. Once contact was made, personal qualities became crucial alongside the aura itself.
Smugi couldn't withstand Maryka's immense strength!
As the punch landed, Smugi clenched her teeth and twisted the sword with both hands, pulling it free from Maryka's grip. Just as she was about to strike, she sensed something and cried out in fear, "Mom!"
Boom!
At that moment, the immense force Maryka had pressed against Smugi's stomach exploded, sending her flying backward like a cannonball and colliding with another cake ship, causing it to collapse.
"Infinite Energy Mode!"
On the other side of the shattered Cake Island, at the bow of the Doom Star, Renetia transformed her mechanical hammer into a floating machine cannon. It hovered around her small body like a floating exoskeleton, especially around her head and arms, where numerous gun barrels emerged, firing a rain of stray beams.
Perospero, who was fighting against her, used candy to create arrows and fired a 'Rain of Termination', clashing with the stray beams.
However, in terms of quantity and power, he was clearly at a disadvantage. The stray beams deflected the candy arrows, scattering them in all directions and destroying many ships.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha!"
Renetia laughed like Sag, her small hands outstretched as she continued to bombard relentlessly, "Let my infinite energy blast you all to death!"
This was different from the situation on Icefire Island, where she had taken advantage of the weather and terrain to use ice-cold attribute attacks. But that energy was too scarce, so its power was actually quite ordinary.
But here, it was different. She had stored a lot of backup energy on the ship, mostly gunpowder. Although it didn't have any additional attributes, it was more powerful than cannonballs.
Most importantly, its range was wide, and its firing speed was fast.
After all, during a naval battle, being able to completely fire off all the cannonballs was an extremely formidable skill.
Unfortunately, she hadn't been able to achieve that yet.
In any case, it would be a waste to not use it all up. It was better to let her use it all up and blast it all out, eliminating the enemy's fighting force first.
"That's definitely not infinite!"
Perospero gritted his teeth and shouted, "You little demon, your stamina is not as good as mine. I'll wear you down until you run out of energy! The Catastrophe is entangled with Mom, and I will break through this ship!"
A Four Emperor's ship was definitely worth fighting for!
On the Doom Star, Bruno, who had also joined the battle, asked in a deep voice, "Should I open the door?"
Of course, CP Zero was also brought by Sag, but these three were left on the ship, responsible for opening the door through Bruno's ability to rescue those who were heavily injured and whose ships were sunk.
At this distance, if he opened the door, he could reach the opposite ship.
In such a high-intensity standoff, if Renetia could launch a sneak attack, she would definitely win.
"No need! I'll blast him to death!"
Renetia's small hands sparked with electricity, making the stray beams she fired even faster, "I'm not that easy to deal with. Full power, fire away!"
However, the opponent was not to be underestimated, and they continued to counter with the endless falling arrows of the Rain of Termination. Although they were at a disadvantage, at least for a long time, Perospero could hold them off.
If nothing unexpected happened, just as Perospero had fired an arrow and was about to fire another, he suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at the original center of Cake Island in shock and exclaiming, "Mom!"
Boom, boom, boom!
In that brief moment of hesitation, a large number of stray beams broke through the previous wave of candy arrows, striking Perospero and the ship he was on, and exploding into huge clouds of smoke.
"Mom!"
On the other side of Cake Island, Cliff, who was in the midst of battle, paused in surprise and instinctively turned to shout, but this created an opening.
"Impermanence of All Phenomena!"
Urki, who had descended from the sky, swung the lead pillar like a propeller, and with the inertia, he struck Cliff's head with the lead pillar. Before his body could even descend, a figure emerged from the gap.
Puchi!
Hawkins stabbed Cliff in the chest with his sword, letting the blood flow from the wound and drip down the blade.
He said indifferently, "As I said, the battle will go smoothly. It seems you can't escape the net of fate."
