Chapter 598 598: Strength Breaking a Thousand

A devastating shockwave erupted from above the ocean, then irresistibly swept in all directions.

Artoria watched the blue-white lightning erupt from tens of thousands of meters away, like a devastating blue-white thunderstorm, indiscriminately drawing the central area into a destructive domain of lightning.

And the explosive shockwave hitting head-on at this moment, as well as the surging tsunami on the ocean, were nothing more than the aftermath of this strike.

Artoria had no mind to check whether the Professor she had flung into the ocean was dead or alive. She turned her back, protecting the red-haired young girl in front of her.

Intense magical energy condensed on her armor. Having lost [The Everdistant Utopia · Avalon], she could only resist like this.

Boom!

Artoria exerted force with her toes, the soft ground collapsing in an instant, but even so, it still couldn't match the violent impact from behind.

Along with Seraphina in front of her, she instantly plowed through the wasteland and reefs above the seaside cliff, sliding into the distance.

Crack!

Artoria clearly perceived the sound of the armor on her body shattering. Even with the infusion of her vigorous magical energy, even with her own resistance to energy, this overly pure destructive force still shattered her defense.

Artoria suddenly took a fierce step forward, her figure no longer resisting. Instead, following that impact force, she took a step out. The hundred-meter cliff made of reefs was instantly crushed by the violent force, smashing into the ocean, and was subsequently swept up in the endless shockwaves and smashed against the cliff face.

Artoria, however, leaped high up. Following that terrifying shockwave, she flew further away as if soaring.

The tsunami then swept the surrounding coast. The harbor near the former Holy City Latina shattered with a bang, and seawater poured backwards into the continent, extinguishing all those wildfires.

In the sky, the hundreds-of-meters tall scarlet giant didn't look like a behemoth at all. There was no sluggishness in its movements. Instead, it was like an incomparably agile person, currently floating in the air, its body naturally presenting a relaxed posture.

With knees slightly bent and head slightly tilted, he looked at the twisted space above his head. The huge, complex eye had disappeared, leaving only the massive golden ripples still spreading outwards ring by ring.

And in the middle of the huge ripples, a giant crack appeared in the twisted space.

The corners of Kaito Shirogane's mouth curled up. Laurence indeed had some ability, mastering a mysterious power system. Perhaps, that was the power coming from the cosmic starry sky, the so-called [The Old Ones].

But it was a pity that, in the face of sufficient absolute power, these special forms of power were ultimately just flashy castles in the air.

Kaito Shirogane gently clenched his fist. The air in his palm was squeezed out, letting out a roar like a cannonball leaving the chamber.

At this very moment, Kaito Shirogane's actual physical strength exceeded a thousand points. The enhancement brought by the Limiter liberation was exponential for him.

The efficacy of the Qilin Armor, the explosive amplification of the Kaioken, and now, he had obtained the 100% amplification from the Limiter liberation, plus the potential amplification after the [Despairing Savior] mode was activated.

Kaito Shirogane had gradually formed a set of special ability builds. As long as his physical body could bear the load, every point of attribute increase would gain explosive amplification during an all-out battle.

What was the concept of single-target strength breaking a thousand? Kaito Shirogane didn't have any concept of it before either, but at this moment, he could completely feel the essence of his power, so strong it was almost distorted.

A single clenching of his fist could cause an air cannon explosion.

Then, what about a punch?

Kaito Shirogane's right arm bent backward, his whole person making a most natural punching motion. As the fist retracted, one could see a clear "channel" appear on the path of Kaito Shirogane's retracting arm.

In the next moment, he punched straight out, just like the shadow boxing he usually did, punching into the air above.

Boom!

Different from the past when punching caused the air to liquefy, as if forming a caved-in horizontal surface, Kaito Shirogane felt an unparalleled smoothness when throwing this punch.

After throwing the punch, there was no resistance whatsoever. The air was completely "pushed away" by his punch.

In front of him, a huge azure fan shape extended all the way into the sky. That was a vacuum!

Kaito Shirogane threw a punch, and the vacuum wave silently and directly shattered the entire sky.

He turned his head and flew towards the other side of the ocean. Behind him, the shattered golden ripples fluttered down from the air like golden raindrops.

Everything was just an appearance. Those golden ripples were nothing more than the patterns formed in the air by Laurence's power fluctuations, and with one punch from Kaito Shirogane, the vacuum wave directly shattered the special power essence of Laurence.

The externalized ripples also fell consequently.

Pfft!

Pfft!

The ocean was smashed as if it were boiling, but the flesh and blood giant flew lightly tens of miles away. The huge figure matched with ghostly movements, appearing incredibly eerie.

The [King of Bronze and Fire] were similarly a pair of twins. [Constantine] suddenly felt his heart sink, an unreasoning panic arising.

Lying in a pool of blood, the black-red giant dragon [Norton]'s golden slit pupils radiated cruel determination, staring fixedly behind Constantine.

"Go, do not look back."

Scorching dragon blood spurted from the large hole in his chest. Inside Dragon King Norton's nasal cavity, incomparably scorching dragon flames were ready to fire, and some kind of mysterious chanting had already sounded.

[World-Destroying Kotodama: Candle Dragon]

As a first-generation species personally bred by the Black Dragon Nidhogg, one of the four great monarchs of the Dragon race, the division of authority and power produced the setting of twins.

Constantine was more powerful, but precisely because of this, he had an innate disability and limitation; he could not transform into a dragon body. At this moment, what Constantine saw from his tyrannical older brother's golden pupils, apart from tyranny, was only despair.

Constantine had a cowardly personality and habitually relied on his older brother, but at this moment, that bone-chilling shudder swept through his body and mind.

As a monarch who ruled the world from birth, naturally at the top of the pyramid of biological hierarchy, he completely didn't understand that this instinct continuously emerging from his bones was called fear.

An existence with an even higher biological level had already descended here.

That was a hunter, a superior being. At this moment, they, the twin brothers, the King of Bronze and Fire, were the prey!

Constantine spread his hands, and two sharp blades instinctively fell into his hands.

The King of Bronze and Fire also held the authority of alchemy. In the B.C. era, they forged the King-slaying weapons named [Seven Deadly Sins].

The Claymore in his left hand was named [Greed], and the Han Dynasty eight-sided sword in his right hand was named [Pride]. Even out of instinct, he chose the two most suitable ones.

Constantine slowly turned his head, while Norton let out a tyrannical angry shout.

"Didn't I tell you to go?!"

Boom!

Surging fierce flames instantly erupted from Norton's body, completely enveloping everything indiscriminately. The scorching flames caused space to begin twisting.

But the flesh and blood giant merely floated in the air with a relaxed body, its knees hanging naturally. On that mangled face of flesh and blood, a mocking smile was revealed.

"With this little temperature, are you trying to draw me a hot bath?"

In the scorching flames, the surface of the flesh and blood giant was constantly surrounded by golden-red ki. That ki was so intense that the flames were extinguished before they even approached.

Kaito Shirogane intentionally descended from the air. The flames on the ground instantly dissipated, revealing scorched black earth.

Kaito Shirogane walked step by step towards the humanoid Constantine. He was indeed intentionally guiding these two Dragon Kings to release that world-destroying level Kotodama.

At this very moment, because of that overly powerful strength, he almost revealed overflowing arrogance.
