Chapter 606: Consequences (2/2)
The brilliant rays faded away to reveal Tiana, still standing on the same ground undamaged. However, she appeared to be a completely different person. The eyes were still Tiana’s but what had replaced her mad and rancor gazes was a world of difference – they were stone-cold and completely unfeeling.
“Who are you? How dare you challenge the immense might of our Ice Goddess?” the cold male voice uttered from Tiana’s mouth. As the listener, Han Shuo was left with a rather uncomfortable feeling.
From the very moment that masculine voice left Tiana’s mouth, there was no doubt in Han Shuo’s mind that Tiana was dead. The being now occupying her body had to be an envoy in charge of upholding the dignity of the Ice Goddess.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. In short, the destruction of the Shrine of Ice on Profound Continent is certainly of my doing,” Han Shuo replied in a voice just as cold while he sized up the comer with all his focus. His consciousness was deployed, trying to figure out the actual strength of this person.
Unfathomably powerful. That was the assessment Han Shuo had made of this being.
This person who had overtaken Tiana’s body gently nodded and said coldly and indifferently, “Very well. Since you have destroyed the foundation of this place, no matter what, you must die.”
He sounded as though he was reading the verdict of a trial. As if killing Han Shuo was not just right and proper, but also no different from pinching an ant to death.
As soon as he finished those words, the entity steering Tiana’s body began to charge straight at Han Shuo. He made no garnish nor showy movements, instead throwing a single agile punch.
Suddenly, the water element within the entire snowfield completely concentrated in his body. The surrounding sub-zero temperatures resumed to normal in a second, like the blossom of springtime.
A shiver traveled through Han Shuo’s heart. He clearly sensed the water elemental energy all around the frozen mountains concentrated in this punch. Furthermore, the divine energy contained was extremely frigid, so much so that it affected Han Shuo’s tactile sensations. He was overcome by a feeling of powerlessness as though there was no room for him to escape.
Han Shuo’s consciousness was unable to detect precisely which realm this person was on. However, from the enormous changes produced in the Water Domain of Divinity, Han Shuo was immediately certain that the comer had exceeded the lowgod realm. As he had no idea how powerful this person really was, Han Shuo dared not to rashly take this punch.
All of a sudden, transformations simultaneously took place within his body, heart, and soul. Han Shuo was becoming a pool of stagnant water with not the slightest fluctuation in his heart. His consciousness was modulated to enter a state of tranquility as he sensed the trajectory of the punch and the energy contained in it.
Speed Change was suddenly deployed. When that person had thrown the punch, Han Shuo’s figure was thousands of meters away. A terrifying explosion erupted from the space where the punch landed. Those frozen mountains that had just defrosted suddenly started to quake violently. Enormous boulders tumbled down one after another.
“Huh?” the being let out a gentle cry of astonishment as though he had never anticipated Han Shuo to evade from his punch.
Han Shuo’s mind was calm without a ripple, and he had recorded the power of that punch. After rapidly weighing for a moment, Han Shuo discovered that the comer was most certainly a midgod. However, as his divine body could not descend to this material plane, the power he could unleash through the medium that was Tiana was limited and simply not enough to kill him.
Having arrived at this judgment, Han Shuo sneered mischievously. His body swayed, then two carbon copies of Han Shuo suddenly appeared.
“Huh??” The being cried out in surprise yet again. He was rather startled by the scene. A few traces of puzzlement appeared in his undisturbed eyes.
Before he could ask any questions or strike again, Han Shuo’s three bodies got into motion. They rapidly pounced on him from three different directions. Two Domains of Divinity were deployed together. The element of death and the edict of destruction barged into his Domain of Divinity. His avatars were constantly swaying and their figures were indistinct.
Ever since Han Shuo had formed himself those three bodies, never before he had all three of them joined forces to attack one person. Although the energy available to this midgod manifesting himself by using Tiana’s body was just a small portion of his actual strength, he was nonetheless a midgod. There was an insurmountable distance between a lowgod and a midgod. Therefore, Han Shuo had no choice but to attack with all his strength.
Bump! Bump! Bump! Halfway into their charging, the three Han Shuos hit a wall. They were obstructed by an invisible barrier.
The words “oh shit” played shouted in Han Shuo’s mind as he immediately realized that the comer, being in a higher realm, had a Domain of Divinity more powerful than he imagined.
“Having many doesn’t always mean having the upper hand!” that man said coldly before throwing yet another punch, aiming at Han Shuo’s avatar of destruction.
At this moment, all three bodies of Han Shuo’s that were stopped in their paths were intruded by an icy aura. He withdrew while dispelling the chilling aura from his bodies. The situation had become extremely dangerous.
