Chapter 444: Chapter 169: I told you, you... are very weak!_2

"Could it be that Ahtal has reached the Almighty Realm?" She speculated so, only to immediately dismiss the thought.

No one could reach the Almighty Realm in such a short span of time, not even the Witch of Death herself, who had to expand her power gradually and inclusively through focused study of her own Power.

And Ahtal simply didn’t have that time.

"He has altered the rules of his inner kingdom," the God of Beauty and Art explained, "While the specifics are unknown, it’s clearly related to speed."

"If it’s just a matter of modifying the rules of the inner kingdom to increase speed," the Goddess of Spring expressed her doubts, "then he shouldn’t have the ability to send the God of War flying."

As for the Power of the God of War, she was well aware of it. No... To be more precise, All Gods were acutely aware. It was the expansion in scale of existence which, in turn, increased the very quality of one’s being. With Ahtal’s current strength, a punch would be incapable of shaking the scale of the God of War’s existence.

To put it in layman’s terms, it was like a common man throwing a punch at a mountain range; it was impossible to shake the mountain.

The scale of existence between the two was simply not on the same level.

"Look at the shadow behind Ahtal," the God of Beauty and Art pointed out, indicating the blurred female figure behind Ahtal, "He can enhance his offensive output using the Tenth Shadow Magic, which he had used in his fight against Adam."

"I did not pay attention to Ahtal’s battle with Adam," the Goddess of Spring explained quietly. She knew of Ahtal’s existence back then, but at that time, Ahtal wasn’t a demon and was not worth her notice.

"In any case, you just need to know that Ahtal can enhance his Strength output through that magic," the God of Beauty and Art said with a gentle smile. Her gaze, however, did not waver from the ongoing battle in the duel field. Her interest in Ahtal was one of the more prominent among the gods, and she had a relatively deep understanding of Ahtal’s capabilities.

Subtleties that others took time to notice, she could immediately discern, relying on her understanding of Ahtal.

"Clang!" The God of War swung his axe-blade, blocking the incoming strike from Ahtal. But just as he was about to change tactics for a counter-attack, Ahtal vanished from the spot, establishing a significant distance between them.

"Quite... troublesome indeed," he sighed, yet his expression remained calm and composed, his anticipation that Ahtal would find a way to contend with his Power included in his expectations.

Otherwise, Ahtal would not have been so confident as to fight him.

"Designing rules to your advantage against the enemy, you’re starting to resemble an universal level powerhouse," he commented.

Xi Mu shook his head calmly, "Had I reached Omnipotent, your head would already be severed by now."

The reason he could dodge the attacks of the God of War with speed was not that his Strength had surpassed that of all other gods combined; it was purely because he had recently become a partner with the little mare and could thereby use the mare’s power to establish rules about the "speed" aspect, gaining the ability to evade the God of War’s attacks.

Otherwise, he would have been killed by the God of War in an instant.

"Ha~ that’s true too," the God of War flicked his axe-blade, stirring up a sandstorm as if it were but a casual toss.

If he could consider the "world" as either an enemy or ally, he would instantly reach the level of the Almighty, and leap to become a top being among universal level powerhouses, perhaps even capable of clashing with the Goddess of Life.

However, the world wouldn’t deem him as an enemy, nor as an ally. The unbiased world was the final step that barred him from the Almighty Realm.

"At this point, you can barely survive," he said as he raised his axe high, readying himself to attack.

"Unless you undo the inner kingdom that increases speed and wage your attack using the Kingdom of Death at close range, but the instant you release it, I will slay you."

At this moment, there is a decisive gap in their power levels. Unless Ahtal can maintain a distance of over ten meters and unleash the Kingdom of Death at close range, there’s no way to inflict a fatal injury on him.

But expanding the Kingdom of Death means Ahtal would have to release the kingdom that enhances speed, and that would only hasten Ahtal’s death.

Xi Mu exhaled, switching the weapon in his hand to the Sword of Light, and released it without hesitation.

Light turned into a torrent.

"Boom!" The God of War also brought down his axe at this very moment, cutting directly through the torrent of light and splitting the direction where Ahtal stood into two halves, as if a painting had been sliced in two.

This was the power level of the God of War now, so exaggeratedly strong and unsolvable that he could cleave through torrents of light head-on.

The tactics that had led to victory in the past were ineffective at this moment.

However,

"In the world of death... seek life." Another Ahtal suddenly burst out, arriving by the side of the God of War, and without hesitation opened a ten-meter Kingdom of the Heart.

At the same time,

In the distance, Xi Mu unleashed the Sword of Light once more, and the flood of light surged again, engulfing the God of War, immediately followed by a dozen axe glimmers slashing indiscriminately at everything nearby.

"Here’s that phrase back at you, you’re really weak right now." The God of War laughed wildly, glancing at the dodging incarnation of Ahtal as he charged towards Ahtal’s true body, continuously swinging his axe with each strike surpassing the strength of the torrent of light.

Whenever Ahtal’s incarnation came near and attempted to open the Kingdom of Death, he would immediate change his attack target, preventing Ahtal’s incarnation from getting close.

It was rare to see two Kingdoms of the Heart unfolded at the same time, but he had long known about Ahtal’s ability to incarnate and had predicted that Ahtal would use his incarnation to open the Kingdom of Death up close, so he had always been extremely wary.

What he needed to do now was to attack furiously, using absolute strength to suppress Ahtal, while ensuring that Ahtal’s incarnation couldn’t approach within a ten-meter radius.

The scales of victory were now clearly visible.

"Ahtal is going to lose." said a god excitedly, despite Ahtal’s unexpected ability to fight the God of War to such an extent, Ahtal now seemed to be out of options.

"This is the difference in absolute power!"

"Ahtal has revealed too much information." A neighboring deity commented, "If the God of War didn’t know Ahtal had the ability to incarnate and didn’t know he could open the Kingdom of Death, perhaps Ahtal could take advantage of the information gap to kill the God of War. Sadly, he has leaked too much intelligence."

"This might not be a good thing." The Goddess of the Sword suddenly spoke up, "If Ahtal is driven to desperation, he might directly request the Witch of Death to descend."

The atmosphere became instantly tense.

The nearby excited gods froze, now realizing that if Ahtal began to summon the Witch of Death recklessly, all the gods in attendance would be in danger.

They might be unlucky enough to get dragged into it and killed.

"Ahtal, why are you taking out a parrot?" A goddess with purple hair suddenly widened her eyes, pointing at Ahtal in the middle of the duel, where he was holding a parrot as if hesitating and deciding.

"Is he trying to sacrifice it to summon the Witch of Death?"

"Under these circumstances, summoning the Witch of Death isn’t that strange, is it?" An unnamed male deity curled his lip, for Ahtal was already in a desperate situation, not only being relentlessly attacked by a battle-hungry God of War but also nearing the end of his magic power.

So, choosing to summon the Witch of Death wasn’t odd.

"I’m going to buy some oranges." He braced his knees and stood up, his figure directly disappearing from the dueling arena, to avoid the Witch of Death’s arrival and a possible indiscriminate massacre.

While the dueling arena was guarded by the likes of the Goddess of Life, it didn’t mean the Witch of Death couldn’t take the opportunity to harvest a wave of weaker deities.

The spectator gods in the dueling arena began to leave one after another, and the once bustling arena began to empty out, leaving only a few gods who were very confident in their own strength.

This shift was reflected in the power of the God of War, who although still held an absolute advantage in strength, was now starting to struggle a bit.

However, this gave Xi Mu a chance to counterattack, and with another direct collision between the sword and the axe, they pulled out dazzling sparks that illuminated the cheeks of Xi Mu and the God of War.

"I told you, you... are really weak!" Xi Mu taunted with a malicious smile, casually unleashing his Sword of Light. The overflow of the light torrent struck the God of War head-on, its momentum unabated as it soared through the sky.
