Chapter 854 - Fireball (2/2)
Once she caught sight of the shards, Su Li immediately knew that she did not destroy the alien. She clenched her teeth in frustration.
Tring!
The floating shards suddenly glowed like golden light and rapidly merged—then once again, Saiki reappeared in his gleaming armor, completely unharmed.
He gazed into Su Li’s eyes and said, “So that was the Nine Sky Engulfing Phoenix. It is a powerful weapon. The temperature from that blast is almost comparable to the star that lights up your planet. If I had not maximized my barrier protection to the highest level, I am afraid that you would have killed me just now.”
High temperature?
So, the Alien is afraid of high temperatures!
The Four Kings and Xiao Luo noted it as well. What if they could push him off to the sun? Would that be enough to kill him? However, the method was impractical as Saiki could deconstruct his body into particles the size of atoms. Not even the sealing technique had worked on him. So it looked like there was no way they go with that strategy.
It seemed that Saiki was not afraid to expose his weakness at all. He smiled at Su Li, and said, “If the temperature is high enough, it can melt everything, including atoms. The rise of any civilization begins with the creation of fire. Therefore, it regulates temperature and can destroy everything, including civilization itself. It is a paradox, but paradoxes are the key elements of forming a universe.”
“Nobody is interested in your devilish preaching!”
Su Li smiled icily. She summoned her flying swords to her side, then projected them out like lightning bolts.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
They streaked into the Level 50 energy barrier but were deflected off. The swords then vanished as if they had never appeared.
Saiki raised his eyebrows and continued, “You are right. None of you would understand such complex concepts. It is pointless explaining them to you. You cannot activate the Nine Sky Engulfing Phoenix without rest, correct? My data here shows that your energy has fallen below thirty percent. You were at ninety-five percent before that. That move used up a lot of your True Inner Force, right?”
Su Li frowned and glared at him wilfully. She was at a complete loss for words and clenched her teeth hard.
“I have faced your Nine Sky Engulfing Phoenix head-on. Now, it is my turn to return you the big favor.”
Saiki smiled as he raised his right hand, and a tiny ball of destructive energy appeared at his fingertip. He concentrated on the ball, turning it from a scorching fireball into a giant ball of fire six meters in diameter.
It had the same scorching temperature as the one he had just experienced. Saiki cast it at Su Li and she flinched.
SWOOSH!
The giant fireball hurtled through the sky silently, not even creating any sound as it traveled extremely speed before hitting Su Li directly on her body.
BOOM!
When it struck Su Li, a catastrophic explosion blasted through the area, sending waves of destructive energy across the land. An infinity void formed in space, and a massive crater appeared at the center of the explosion. Its diameter measured a hundred zhang with a depth of a hundred meters. Large cracks formed around the edge of the crater, large enough to fit a person through it.
Everyone who had witnessed it through the satellite transmission gasped in horror. The expression on their faces changed instantly.
“This Alien is just too powerful for us. He is invincible.”
“We are done for. The entire human race is doomed.”
“Heaven, why are you doing this to us? What wrong have we done?”
Fear and despair spread amongst the government executives around the world. The Alien’s supreme power had mentally crushed them. Regardless of the nationality, they all knew what was in store for them when they witnessed the fireball.
