Apocalypse Circular-Chapter 455: Battle in the Sky (4K)

If there was something that surprised Noah, it was that he, as an Eighth Order Exotic Species Monarch, was actually having his head pressed down onto a table by someone.

Can this be tolerated? Of course not.

But what could he do? When Noah tried to resist Lu Luo, Lu Luo actually grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

For the first time, Noah felt the gap in physical strength between them.

This gap simply couldn’t be bridged even with the energy difference between Sequence tiers.

"Lu Luo you...ugh!"

Lu Luo’s palm was pressed against Noah’s face, his sturdy fingers pinching Noah’s cheekbones.

After Noah turned into a human, his already ordinary face was completely twisted by Lu Luo’s pinch.

His mouth was slightly agape, as if he wanted to say something, but due to the disparity in strength, he couldn’t even fully open his jaw. The sensation was truly awful.

"Do you feel it? The difference between humans and Machine Species?

You could be the terminal, the source of all Machines, able to control all Machine devices.

I have no solution to whatever you might do next.

I can’t even think of one, nor do I have the ability to solve the Machine Crisis.

However... although I can’t solve the Machine Crisis.

I can solve you!"

Lu Luo’s fingers loosened slightly, and Noah finally got a chance to speak. He placed one arm on Lu Luo’s hand, as if wanting Lu Luo to loosen his grip a bit more.

Because the feeling of suffocation was truly unpleasant.

"Can you loosen your grip a little?"

"Do you feel the suffocation? When you were a Machine Species, you probably didn’t have such a sensation, did you?

Machine Species don’t have perceptions, emotions, or much capacity for feelings.

Sure, these things can make you a complete human, but if not controlled well, they can also make you weaker.

You were once a Machine Species, so you’ve never experienced despair.

And since you haven’t been human for long, I’m even more certain that you haven’t gone through human suffering.

So, how does it feel to become human?"

Lu Luo usually didn’t talk much in battle, but this time he had so much to say to Noah, mainly because he wanted to solve the problem.

He didn’t know if what he was doing was right, but he had no better solution.

"Lu Luo, your reaction is indeed very quick, and I really did not expect the human body to be so fragile.

But do you think you’re bound to win?

Don’t underestimate the foundation of an Exotic Species Monarch!"

Dark Energy formed electric currents and spatial folds at Noah’s fingertips. This was the first time Lu Luo had sensed Noah’s true combat energy attributes.

Thunder and space, huh?

A guy who might have mastered space techniques could indeed be invincible.

But at this moment, Lu Luo was equally uncompromising.

"If you’re so confident, then give it a try.

I want to see for myself what the foundation of an Exotic Species Monarch is!"

HUM!

A gigantic eyeball appeared in the room. Because it was so large, the edges of the eyeball pressed against both the ceiling and the floor.

The red eyeball was full of black veins, and its pupil had locked onto Noah completely.

The power of the Observer’s Eye left Noah with nowhere to hide.

"Lu Luo, your growth rate is truly astonishing. You always call yourself human.

But have you ever considered that humans should not have such a growth rate?

Humans are very special. They have the strongest inheritance, but their growth to adulthood and maturation are the slowest among most creatures."

"Don’t try to brainwash me. As long as I consider myself human, then I am human."

"Subjective idealism?"

"That’s right. I have no faith, so I have nothing to fear."

Sequence is a manifestation of a person’s natural talent and will. The Faithless is one of Lu Luo’s strongest Sequence abilities—you could even remove ’one of’ from that description.

So, the Faithless itself is an expression of Lu Luo’s own will.

It grew as Lu Luo grew, and became stronger as he did.

Until today, the Faithless had become an aspect that Lu Luo could display to others.

The Faithless embodies fearlessness; that is Lu Luo’s will.

BOOM!

Fists full of steam collided with Noah’s thunderous punches.

Electricity and steam exploded instantaneously in the cramped room.

The Outburst of airflow from both parties was more intense than before, but the strong current also gradually dispersed Lu Luo’s Sequence red mist.

As the Sequence red mist dissipated, those outside could begin to discern what was happening inside.

"Huh! What!"

Wu Qi, who was closest, was slightly shocked to see the interrogation room being squeezed by a gigantic eyeball.

The Sequence Force was about to explode. Its intensity was such that no detection instruments were needed to sense it.

"Old Zhang, I’m going to take a look."

"Don’t go!"

"Why not?"

Wu Qi couldn’t quite understand why Zhang Changming was holding him back at this moment. Although the Machine Crisis had not completely erupted, they, who knew its danger well, were very certain that once the Machines erupted, it would be a catastrophe for the Imperial.

Although it was not clear what exactly was going on inside, one thing was for sure—Noah absolutely could not be allowed to escape.

He was the only clue to this entire incident.

"What comes next is probably not a fight we can take part in."

"What do you mean? We are from the Inspection Department; we are Seventh Tier."

"It’s exactly what it sounds like. We probably won’t be able to intervene in the upcoming battle.

Don’t ask, just protect your people."

Zhang Changming had just warned Wu Qi when a violent explosion erupted in the interrogation room.

The armor plates of the Dawn Disc armor that Wu Qi always wore naturally unfolded. They protected several members of the Inspection Department who were close to the explosion’s epicenter.

But before he could assess the situation, the huge eyeball in the interrogation room had already burst through the incredibly sturdy interrogation room.

"What the hell is that? That interrogation room was made with the same material as the Dawn Disc armor."

"Stop talking nonsense, and retreat!"

BOOM!

Half of the Inspection Department building was pulverized by the explosion.

Lu Luo was also blown away by the blast.

Noah’s power, accumulated over 400 years, was fully displayed in this collision.

Wild lightning spread around Noah, who stood amidst the thunderclouds like a god of thunder.

In 400 years, he had accumulated not only Machine Species subordinates, but also endless thunder and lightning energy, and the power of space. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Lu Luo, do you really think you could surpass me in just a few years?"

Thunder roared.

A bolt of lightning, thicker than a person, fell from the sky, striking the collapsed building.

The intense energy and shockwaves instantly vaporized the surrounding rocks. The figure in the lightning slowly got up and extended its hand.

His fingers were twisted unnaturally backward. Noah’s last Outburst had actually broken four of them.

Seeing this, Lu Luo smiled slightly. "Impressive!"

CRACK!

He twisted his fingers back into place, and with just a slight movement, those formerly shattered digits returned to normal.

Such a restorative ability left Noah somewhat surprised.

"Lu Luo, you’re becoming less and less human."

"Instead of wasting breath talking, you might as well think about how to kill me."

In an instant, Lu Luo’s body accelerated, with the same white lightning beginning to envelop him.

Although Noah’s primary attribute was lightning, Lu Luo’s lightning attacks might not be effective.

However, Lu Luo’s lightning wasn’t simply an energy impact—it also sharpened his senses and accelerated his movements.

Lu Luo only needed to ensure his speed was sufficient and his strength great, then he could settle things physically.

Deliberate Bombardment Fist!

Barrier!

Lu Luo’s fist directly struck a layer of fractured space. It felt as if his power was transmitted into another dimension, with that entire space bearing the force of his punch.

This spatial barrier gradually expanded and soon began to contain Lu Luo.

Like a thin, transparent screen of light, it seemed simplistic but was irresistible.

"The power of space is unattainable, Lu Luo. Your attacks are ineffectual against me."

"Is that so?"

This wasn’t the first time Lu Luo had encountered spatial power. From his very first encounter with it, he had begun to ponder.

What should I do if I encounter it again?

After some research, Lu Luo actually had some ideas.

The effect of spatial power was merely to borrow a region of space, not to create one.

If the person controlling spatial power truly possessed the ability to create a new space, then they wouldn’t be just Eighth Order.

It was the same with Noah.

They both were leveraging the power of a region of space, and since this space was borrowed, there was a significant problem.

It wasn’t stable enough. So...

Deliberate Bombardment Fist – Hundred Shatter!

Lu Luo didn’t stop despite the appearance of the spatial barrier; his arms moved even faster.

And each punch carried the strongest fifth-level steam Qi He.

The shadows of his fists swung like the pendulum of doom, continuously hammering at the spatial barrier.

The initially stable spatial barrier, under Lu Luo’s barrage, began to waver.

The faint, transparent screen of light started to distort in everyone’s eyes.

"This guy!"

Noah clenched his teeth slightly. This Lu Luo... he’s clearly just Seventh Tier!

Is this the power of a Disc Controller?

After the Truth Disc and Dawn Disc shattered, could it be that those Angel Envoys will truly gain new life because of Lu Luo?

I finally managed to become human; it can’t end like this!

I must stop Lu Luo!

Lightning filled the view as a huge amount of metal instantaneously melted in Noah’s lightning and then merged around him.

The spatial barrier trapping Lu Luo is on the verge of collapse; I have to do something!

"Thunder Dragon!"

With a furious roar from Noah, a gargantuan dragon made of metal and lightning appeared in the sky.

Meanwhile, the spatial barrier in front of Lu Luo also twisted and shuddered after enduring the Deliberate Hundred Shatter.

Lu Luo drew Ashbringer from his ring.

But in this process, he felt a strange awkwardness.

It wasn’t that drawing the sword felt awkward, but the space itself felt resistant.

Lu Luo’s heart skipped a beat. Noah’s Star, this ring, was a gift from Noah himself. Could there be a problem with it too?

But right now, what he needed to tackle first was the spatial barrier in front of him.

Sword Heart Technique Three - Sundering the Void.

The blazing slash severed the space Noah controlled, and the ring on Lu Luo’s hand vibrated along with the fracture of this spatial barrier.

By this time, Lu Luo was basically certain that there was indeed something wrong with the ring.

At the very least, it was connected to Noah’s control of space.

But he didn’t have time to pay attention to this ring now!

What he needed to do was to subdue Noah!

Lu Luo, sword raised, shot towards the sky like a meteor.

The Thunder Dragon, almost intertwined with the thunder in the sky, lashed out with a sweep of its tail into the void.

Just when Lu Luo was puzzled, that tail actually stretched out from his ring and swept directly across his face.

Lu Luo fell to the ground like a meteor; he did not show much surprise or hesitation.

He immediately took the ring off his hand and threw it on the ground.

"Quite the sacrifice, considering how many things were inside!"

The great dragon in the sky spoke. Lu Luo now knew that Noah could control his ring.

This was absolutely intolerable!

Lu Luo charged into the sky again, but at this moment, the sky was rumbling densely with thunder.

No sooner had he taken off than he was bombarded and infused with countless lightning bolts.

Although the Faithless could mitigate a massive amount of damage, mitigation was not immunity. If he were to continuously suffer such heavy blows from an Eighth Order’s ultimate attack, even he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Lu Luo landed on the ground again, casually stabbing Ashbringer into the earth.

He brought his palms together.

From a distance, Zhang Changming, who was observing the battle, said softly, "He’s going to use his full power."

"What? What do you mean by that? Are you saying he wasn’t using his full strength just now?"

Wu Qi found it hard to accept. He could sense that Lu Luo’s life tier was also Seventh Tier.

But the problem is, we’re all Seventh Tier, so why is he so much stronger? That’s just not fair!

The battle between Lu Luo and Noah, just as Zhang Changming had said, was not something ordinary Seventh Tier Transcendents could intervene in.

On the other side, Lu Luo had already started to draw upon his Sequence Force again.

So you can fly, huh? Fly high, do you?

Fine. Just you wait.

The ground beneath Lu Luo began to shake, and all of Shuangpang City trembled with it.

A giant eyeball gradually emerged from the shaking ground, revealing just a sliver of itself.

Lu Luo suddenly opened his eyes, and in an instant, thousands of eyes spread throughout the sky.

Observer’s Eye, Demon of a Thousand Eyes.

Beams from the eyes erupted, and the red light that obscured the sky collided with Noah’s thunder.

The accumulation of energy caused the sky to begin distorting.

While Noah was contending with the eye beams, eight huge tentacles suddenly stretched out from the ground; four of them burst through the layers of thunderclouds.

Then they were scorched by the thunderclouds and destroyed.

The remaining four, however, took advantage of this brief opening and entwined themselves around the Thunder Dragon in the sky.

ROAR!

A dragon’s cry echoed as the Thunder Dragon began to contort and tumble in the sky, seemingly attempting to break free from the tentacles’ entanglement.

But Lu Luo’s tentacles were already prepared for this.

A red radiance had already covered every part of the tentacles, ready to contend with the thunderclouds in the sky.

The spikes and maws on the tentacles pierced through the Thunder Dragon’s iron body.

Lu Luo forcefully yanked downwards with both hands.

"Get down here!"
