The Creatures That We Are-Chapter 1223: Reverse

Futile.

A swarm of mosquitoes was just that, mosquitoes. Wang Zikai would kill Hong Xiaoxiao and Gregor then stopped the attacks coming overhead with Left Hand of God. He had plenty of time.

Wait.

Wang Zikai realized that the mosquitoes were speeding up—no, he was slowed down.

Time Space Spirit.

Ten seconds ago, Gao Yang had jumped to above the Mirror of Pride with Zhang Wei and Liao Liao, just in time for the last concerted assault. With the triple buff, the range of the Spirit Domain tripled, covering Wang Zikai.

Gao Yang realized to his shock that it required the entirety of his control to slow down Wang Zikai’s time alone. Such was the authority of Pride!

He clenched his fist, which was almost melting with the sheer power of his flames. He teleported behind Wang Zikai and prepared to make his most powerful Fire Punch, which would rival the force of the Empress’s Judge coming from above.

Not enough.

Tripled psychic power manifested as thousands of red snakes and surged toward Wang Zikai, Hong Xiaoxiao, and Gregor from all directions. In order to push the attack speed of Bite of Red Snakes to the limit, Zhang Wei couldn’t afford to avoid friendly fire.

Futile.

Wang Zikai’s derision gave way to incredulity.

Then he felt arms wrapping around him from behind.

Liao Liao!

Serious burns peeled off the skin of her face, revealing the red muscle tissues. Her two eyes bulged, almost completely blind. With triple buff, she had hidden herself inside the Mirror of Pride with Intangibility and Cheating.

The mirror wasn’t a simple obstacle. Although Liao Liao had the Golden Armor to protect her, the energy burned her severely after she entered the mirror surface. Halfway through the travel, the Golden Armor crumbled, and Liao Liao had to endure a pain that felt like being eaten alive by ants to keep advancing.

Thankfully, it only took her three seconds. Another second, and she would’ve died in great pain and melted into energy particles, rippling across the Mirror of Pride.

Using Air Man and Follow Heart, she was able to get close to Wang Zikai with the help of her companions.

Liao Liao’s almost melted lips parted, leaning close to Wang Zikai’s ear.

Yiyayaya!

Level 7 Disorientation significantly disturbed the opponent’s mind while inflicting a moderate debuff on the teammates.

Wang Zikai’s consciousness stuttered for half a second before he quickly recovered.

All the interference and constraints had prevented him from using Left Hand of God in time. The countless attacks would be upon him in a second.

Wang Zikai’s mockery melted into a soft sigh.

Pitiful creatures.

These people had never considered surviving the fight. They were going to kill Pride at the price of their lives. They thought naively that they could create a miracle by abandoning everything, including themselves.

How tragic.

Their tragic determination is worthy of my taking them seriously.

In the latter half of the second, a profound, authoritative, and sacred heartbeat came from Wang Zikai’s chest. It ignored all restrictions on time and space or natural law. It seemed to originate from the world itself, but also from everyone’s chest.

Mirror of Pride.

Heart’s Reversal.

The pulling and repelling powers of the mirror were reversed. Wang Zikai vanished, and no explosions triggered. Instead, they were all hurled back by a tremendous force. Gregor, Hong Xiaoxiao, and Liao Liao were the first to fly into the night sky, their attacks interrupted. Then Zhang Wei followed. With the user out of control range, the red snakes scattered into nothing like ashes in a storm.

Nainai’s gigantification could only last a few seconds to begin with. Knocked unconscious, she flew into the sky while quickly shrinking. The greatsword of light elements in her hands crumbled, leaving a magnificent golden trail across the dark canvas of the night.

Gao Yang’s Fire Punch poured a sea of flames hot enough to melt steel instantly, but it didn’t last. Soon, the repelling power tore them into threads like a reversed rain of flames.

The attacks they had launched with their lives on the line were so easily turned away by a simple heartbeat. It was as if an absurd quip had marked the ending of an impassioned declaration of war written with heart and soul.

At that moment, even Gao Yang, having lost his emotions, seemed confused.

Why? ƒгeewebnovёl.com

What a meaningless question.

There was simply a very real gap between their power. And they had always been ants trying to shake a towering tree.

Wang Zikai reappeared on the other side of the Mirror of Pride.

The repelling side was now the pulling side. The awakeners pinned to the ground below suddenly took flight like an invisible hand had scooped them up, smashing them against the golden ceiling above. To them, it felt more like they had fallen from one ground to another.

In Gao Yang’s point of view, Wang Zikai was hanging upside down below the mirror. With a hand in his pocket, he walked up to the other reversed humans.

—the unconscious Chen Ying, Dr. Jia, Tang Xiaocong, and Sun Hu, as well as Lovely Lamb, who was still absorbing damage from them.
