Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 66 - 39 Instantaneous Spiral

66: Chapter 39: Instantaneous Spiral

66 -39: Instantaneous Spiral

Shiyu Ling’s Brahma Form Skill, Divine Communication, was a skill that could teleport through shadows like an orchid.

The Shadow Orchid facilitated the transfer of her physical body; it could also make her, along with her weapons or companions, disappear together—such a convenient ability…

However, aside from relying on the shadowy environment, there was another clear weakness.

Her Brahma Form Skill lacked offensive capabilities.

The Demon-breaking Arrow was a practical auxiliary tool, but it was less ideal for occasions when a decisive strike was needed.

In a situation where she had to fight with just Shadow Orchid, she had to come up with comprehensive countermeasures…

To this end, she developed a method known as erroneous teleportation.

The principle was simple.

When using Divine Communication on others, she would deliberately make the power go haywire, causing the teleportation of a complete body to be dismembered.

Not even she, the one using the power, could predict which part might be lost.

It might be an arm, half a leg, an entire head…

Or perhaps, most of the body.

Making direct contact with the opponent using herself or the flower, she gambled everything on a decisive technique ruled by probability.

When launched against the defeated members of the Evil Beast Army, nearly half of them disappeared.

But large-scale sweeps were different from single attacks.

The Beast Army considered the loss of part of their bodies as “unable to fight,” but humans with willpower were not necessarily so.

On the other hand, Gongsun Ce also could not predict what kind of injury he would sustain.

An unexpected development, not even imagined by himself, certainly would not be within the opponent’s consideration, which meant the initiative had to be hers this time.

With absolute confidence, Shiyu Ling stepped out from the shadows.

As she returned to the real world, she immediately felt an unexpected heaviness in her hand.

In her hand, she held a left hand.

A left hand brutally severed from the lower arm.

“—— You!”

The moment surprise took hold, she felt a painful blow from behind, and the superpower user turned and delivered a kick.

Her powered-up kick sent Shiyu flying several meters away!

·

“Hiss… Ah!”

The young man gasped in pain.

Which was more excruciating, having one’s arm severed or broken?

Ordinary people couldn’t even imagine it, but the young man who had experienced both injuries in one day could now scream in response: both were painful, both were unbearable.

However, if personal factors were included, he would choose the latter…

Because this time, he had amputated his own arm.

“Almost killed me with one…

hiss…

strike…”

Clutching his left arm with his right hand, a white substance emerged from his palm, barely managing to stop the bleeding wound.

“Lucky for me…

I had the upper hand!”

After he amputated his own arm, Shiyu Ling’s teleportation no longer targeted her enemy.

It was merely an isolated hand, after all.

Shiyu Ling propped herself up, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

She tossed the superpower user’s left hand aside, “To avoid a potential fatal injury, you amputated your own arm yourself, oh dear…

am I fighting against a suicidal warrior trained by some organization?”

“Don’t think too highly of me; I’m just a student who wants to give you a beating,” Gongsun Ce sneered, releasing his arm, “Water Mirror Immortal Shadow, Demon-breaking Arrow, Shadow Orchid…

What other tricks do you have?”

“Sure do,” she said with a sly smile, “Can you keep fighting like this for a few more minutes?”

“…!”

Superpower users were not professionals.

He could use his mind to spot his opponent’s weakness, could lure out the enemy’s flaws with verbal tactics.

But likewise, he could abandon his original plan due to a moment of rage, making hasty decisions.

He could also feel nervous when his own vulnerabilities were exposed.

This might be overlooked by a careless enemy, but in the eyes of a Spiritual Image Mage, the young man’s micro-expressions were as conspicuous as an elephant in a fridge.

“The miracle of resurrection is already rare, but being able to continue the fight is even more incredible; there has to be some limitations…

And speaking of such limitations, the first thing most people would think of is time.”

Shiyu Ling stopped closing the distance.

“How much time do you have left, Gongsun Ce?”

The effect of the Curse Scale was more than half gone.

The time left to deal with Shiyu Ling and the giant dragon was under five minutes.

It would not take Qin Qianbai too long to tackle Divine Communication, and she would surely come here within another minute…

However, such circumstances could bring unpredictable changes.

Would Shiyu Ling’s sense of superiority increase in a multiple-enemy scenario?

Would the effect of Water Mirror Immortal Shadow become stronger as a result?

He was not an expert in the Impermanence Skill; neither could he fathom what went on in this woman’s heart.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce said the following.

“It will be no problem if I can finish you within a minute.”

“Quite confident, young man!” Shiyu Ling pointed at the dragon beneath her feet, “Dim your brilliance, Colored Glaze Dragon.”

At first, he did not understand the significance of these instructions, blindly charging forward with the decision made a moment earlier.

But when the light from the Colored Glaze Dragon dissipated with her words, and night’s darkness enveloped the Dragon’s Head, he finally comprehended the enemy’s tactic.

“This move…!”

Blue orchids sprouted amidst the pure white narcissus, and Shiyu Ling’s laughter emanated from the sea of bi-colored flowers.

“Shadow Orchid, Youlan Sea!”

Her body vanished before the young man, countless beams shot from the narcissus towards the orchids, refracted towards the foe, forming an unpredictable chaos of light streams.

Of course, she could not count on this certainly landing a fatal blow, but the young man undeniably had to figure out a way to fend off this attack.

In her mind, she issued the order to be indefensible and unevadable.

As a result, Gongsun Ce, unable to locate his enemy, couldn’t move from his spot while she could step out from every blossom.

This was it; the operation failed this time.

But she could delay enough time until her opponent’s power waned…

She had won this battle!

“… You must have been thinking just that, Miss Shiyu.”

The superpower user did not panic.

This was truly beyond his expectations, yet…

There was enough time.

“White Matter Wilderness.”

The silver-haired youth pressed an arm downwards.

White substance sprouted from his side, covering all the dragon scales of what was once a sea of flowers.

Just as he had attempted before, the elegant daffodil suffered no damage from his attack, but the Shadow Orchid growing from the shadows shattered as the white substance enveloped it.

The white wasteland continued to expand outward, covering the entire head of the Colored Glaze Dragon!

“There are no more shadows for you to hide in.”

He had encountered the Shadow Orchid before, a tangible matter with mass and volume.

Just needed to shatter it completely.

The sole remaining orchid stood atop the dragon’s head, blossoming amidst the white wasteland, within a small space purposefully left open.

“Nor is there any illusory dream left for you to indulge in.”

Then, the Superpower User readied their genuine attack.

Like Shiyu Ling’s Spiritual Image·Manifestation, like Yan Qi’s Brahma Form·Creation Realm, like the final resort those defeated enemies would use before the end…

The decisive assault that was certain to determine victory or defeat.

Having lost nearly all her options, Shiyu Ling stepped out from the singular flower.

She saw the raging wind rising from the side of the Superpower User, scattering all attacks that shot towards him.

·

That wind originated from the palm of the Superpower User.

Pure white substance entangled with the colorless void, spiraling together in his hand.

It was not the strength of one person, nor was it from the same source; combining them would usually cause unprecedented rejection, but now they were entwined by the will of the Superpower User.

Thus the two forces twisted together, alternatingly advancing.

A huge amount of matter, enough to cover an area as vast as a Dragon Head in an instant, was brutally compressed into a white spear.

Limiting the telekinetic force that could reach its maximum output to his hand, wrapping around the body of the spear like a fine thread, distorting its shape.

The force that could erect skyscrapers in a wasteland, the force that could destroy a city block in an instant, now, under precise control, narrowed its area of effect to fit within a palm.

Like compressing a nuclear warhead to the size of a grenade, the destructive power aligned with the vast volume was concentrated into a slender weapon…

The helical spear entangled and inseparable from each other.

“It’s time to wake up from your dream, Shiyu Ling!”

The power of annihilation circled in his hand, bringing forth a brilliant light and a tempestuous wind, like a torrent devouring everything else.

No attacking objects could draw near; the mere presence of this phenomenon was an invincible barrier in the real world!

He stepped forward, approaching the enemy who had nowhere to run.

The never-ending rotation of the long spear grew larger, the tip emitting a mournful wail slicing through the air, making even the great Dragon Head tremble.

The revolving power spread across the battlefield, making dragon scales invulnerable even to missiles crack and turn into golden dust, whirling in the wind!

Gongsun Ce roared as he launched his final attack.

A trump card made by concentrating all his power, utilized just this once.

“——Instant Spiral!”

The Spiral Spear pierced the sky.

Directing the annihilating power that would burst forth in an instant at the body of Shiyu Ling.

Then, Gongsun Ce charged toward his enemy.

·

Now, what commands should be issued?

If both abilities of the opponent were nullified, then she would be subject to a physical strike.

Given the power he was currently exhibiting, even just his physically enhanced body could disperse a human’s body.

Unsure if nullifying just one ability would cause this inexplicable attack to explode in midair, shattering herself into pieces.

Given enough time to think, she would have found a countermeasure.

But now, less than a second remained, the Spiral Spear not yet launched, its spinning pressure alone nearly enough to bring her down.

“…”

Looking back, there had been a misjudgment in strategy, perhaps.

She had not anticipated the terrifying power that this Superpower User would possess when fully committed.

His punches, normally three, had increased to a hundred folds.

The scope of his abilities even covered the entire Dragon Head.

And then, this finishing move even more fearsome than destructive manifestations.

This man had also concealed his true strength before her…

but that’s inevitable.

One always needed to be extra cautious to survive in such a world.

“It’s time to wake up from your dream, Shiyu Ling!”

She heard that man’s furious shout.

A dream, huh.

Not wrong at all.

Maybe there was a chance of survival after beating the Superpower User here, maybe the Creator Realm Mage wouldn’t be able to sustain the battle for too long…

such notions were lies even she herself didn’t believe.

She had understood when the Colored Glaze Dragon was restrained; her action had failed.

Even if she took down the Superpower User here, official experts would arrive for cleanup.

Even if the Colored Glaze Dragon escaped by chance, Shiyu Ling would have no way out.

She merely wanted to die gracefully.

Having lived such an ugly life, she should at least choose a less ugly end.

Better to die as the villain at the hands of justice, in a fierce battle…

To die at the hands of a man with a kindred spirit, would be even more beautiful.

“I lost.”

She chuckled softly, opening her arms to embrace the imminent death.

Then—

The heavy sound of a fist striking flesh echoed high in the sky.
