Chapter 435 - 428: Sovereign
Chapter 435 - 428: Sovereign
If that moment truly arrived, they didn’t know how they would face the one left standing.
Anna’s eyes grew hazy as she clenched her fists.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
In the arena, the clash between the two continued. Andy’s attacks left Dela covered in wounds and drenched in blood.
Bones were breaking, and his internal organs were being battered.
"Look! This is the power we command! You could have had this power, too, but your foolishness made you abandon this perfect opportunity!"
"Repent in your agony, you frog in a well! Everything you have—I’ll be taking it all!"
The force of their collisions completely disrupted the airflow, making it impossible for sound to travel. However, it couldn’t stop Andy from transmitting information directly into Dela’s perception, using the entanglement of their magnetic fields to send it as fluctuations.
"Stop your buzzing, you insect. If you’re going to be a whetstone, you should have the resolve of one."
"Keep going. Unleash everything you have and push me to an even greater peak!"
Dela laughed boisterously as he transmitted his message, making the magnetic field vibrate.
’Let’s see how much longer you can act so brazenly.’
A cold smirk touched Andy’s lips, and his attacks grew even more ferocious.
Amidst the clash, Dela forgot the pain. He focused intently on sensing everything about his opponent, feeling the aura of transcendence, of a being beyond his current level of existence.
’Complete control over my own body... influencing the direction of my evolution... and accelerating that process by tens of millions of times...’
The matter of his body’s evolutionary path couldn’t be solved overnight. He had to carefully perceive every aspect of himself to formulate the most suitable direction. A single misstep could cause his evolution to collapse entirely.
’But, complete control of my own body...’
He abruptly retracted the external influence of his magnetic field. Mimicking Andy’s control, he focused that immense will entirely upon himself.
’Don’t bind me, don’t hold me back, use the Power!’
In an instant, his will completely flooded his body. His immense Spirit had become the Sovereign of his flesh.
He felt as if he had touched a threshold, but he couldn’t see it clearly.
At that moment, his will completely suppressed his body’s instincts. He squeezed every ounce of potential from himself, forcing his body to unleash Power beyond its limits.
’I will not fall from that throne! Countless challengers can only serve as the foundation stones that raise it ever higher!’
’Come, let me devour you, you thing from beyond the heavens!’
BOOM!
Andy unleashed another ferocious attack. To his surprise, Dela intentionally dropped his guard, exposing the left side of his body to be struck squarely by Andy.
CRACK!
The violent crack of shattering bone rang out. Before a fist that could break the sound barrier, even bones as hard as steel were reduced to dust.
A crazed light flashed in Dela’s eyes.
’Now, I am the Sovereign of this body! Move!’
He used the momentum to close the distance, breaking into the space right against Andy’s body. The arm that should have been shattered and useless was now, under the support of his intense will and magnetic field, as nimble as if it had never been injured.
Overlord’s Will: Sovereign!
In Donghua, there was once a legend.
In the distant past, a powerful being grew dissatisfied with the Celestial Emperor’s rule. He gathered an elite army, intending to storm the Celestial Court and slay the Celestial Emperor himself.
But alas, he ultimately failed.
Surrounded by countless Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals, he fought to his very last breath.
His head was cut off. Yet, to the astonishment of all the Celestial Soldiers and Divine Spirits, the man who should have died did not fall. Though he had lost his head, he used his nipples for eyes and his navel for a mouth, continuing the fight while wielding the Divine Axe known as Gan Qi.
When one’s will to fight grows strong enough, one can even conquer and claim sovereignty over death itself.
This legendary being was named War God Xingtian!
And now, Dela was in a similar state.
Even if his head were severed and his bones shattered to dust, his body would fight on with its original ferocity until his consciousness and will to fight were completely extinguished.
Wielding his Gan Qi in a dance of war!
’This is...’
Dela’s transformation brought a look of surprise to Andy’s eyes. He couldn’t understand how a human body, suffering such devastating injuries, could still move as if unscathed—and even erupt with Power no weaker than before.
But before he could react, Dela had already slammed into him. His powerful arms wrapped tightly around Andy’s waist, and he jammed his head against Andy’s shoulder, right by his neck.
He instinctively lowered his center of gravity, bracing for a technical throw.
But it was a wasted effort. Dela made no move for a throw. Instead, with his head pressed against Andy’s neck, he suddenly opened his mouth wide.
RIP!
He bit down hard!
The intense pain of tearing muscle, accompanied by the sensation of gushing blood, flooded Andy’s brain. His pupils contracted violently, his thoughts lagging.
’This posture... This attack...’
’This isn’t the Martial Dao. It’s more like wild beasts in a fight for survival.’
’Biting, gnawing, grappling... This isn’t a fight, it’s a hunt!’
Dela was trying to add this creature from beyond the heavens to his menu!
’This monster!’
A searing rage flared in Andy’s heart. He, a noble of the Celestial Race, in his true form, was being attacked by a mere human as if he were prey.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
He swung his fists relentlessly, but Dela was wrapped around him too tightly. The distance was too short; he didn’t have enough space to accelerate and unleash truly powerful attacks.
Even so, his fists still struck with the force of cannonballs, hammering relentlessly into Dela’s body.
At the same time, the bone spurs on his tail stabbed out again and again, yet they couldn’t penetrate deep into Dela’s body.
CRACK! RIP!
The sounds of cracking bone, tearing muscle, and ripping skin filled the air. However, in his current special state, Dela considered such injuries beneath notice; he paid them no mind at all.
Like a wild beast, his body was coiled tightly around Andy’s inhuman form. His mouth kept opening and biting, opening and biting, as a roar that made one’s scalp tingle emanated from his throat.
Blood filled his mouth, and he swallowed it. To him, it was sweeter than the most mellow wine.
More and more flesh was torn away. At the same time, an unfamiliar feeling began to rise within Andy.
’This thing! This thing!’
He felt like an antelope caught by a lion, all of his abilities rendered useless.
The predator at the top of the food chain was about to begin its meal.
