Chapter 955: You sure are treacherous! (1/2)
The strands of greyish smoke which then emerged from their bodies were sucked into the Cauldron of Myriad Demon hovering high in the sky. The sinister, dark radiance on it glistened brighter and brighter.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the Cauldron and the Seventeen Flying Swords whooshed back towards Han Shuo and vanished into his body.
Wasir flew to Han Shuo's side and gazed at the region where iridescent radiances erupted and vanished. With a puzzled look, he asked Han Shuo, “Where are Dennis and the others? What exactly had happened?” Wasir could tell that Han Shuo must have done something to Dennis’ spatial fissure. Otherwise, Dennis wouldn’t have tried to crawl out from it and make that blood-curdling screech.
Han Shuo put on a bright smile and explained, “I knew that Dennis wanted to escape with his followers using a spatial fissure and so I allowed it to happen. Then I secretly altered several key fulcrums of the spatial structure, effectively sabotaging his spacetime-tunnel.”
Han Shuo had been racking his head on how to prevent Dennis from constructing a spacetime tunnel and escape while the battle was in a stalemate. He had thought hard about it but it seemed impossible. But then, it finally hit him. Rather than preventing Dennis from constructing a spatial fissure, he might as well let him deploy it and use the spatial fissure against him.
He deliberately slowed down his flying swords by fractions of a second to make Dennis mistakenly think that he was distracted and to allow Dennis to construct his spatial fissure.
The instant that Dennis tore the fabric of spacetime and constructed a spatial fissure, several demon generals made from highgod souls stealthily moved into it and altered several points in the spacetime structure.
Under normal circumstances, Dennis might be able to detect the minute alterations to his spacetime tunnel. However, with the great threats of Han Shuo and Wasir hurrying towards him and especially when the Seventeen Flying Swords and Cauldron of Myriad Demon went soaring at him, Dennis wasn’t in the state of mind to notice the changes. He went into the spatial fissure without thinking.
But as soon as he entered the tunnel, he discovered that his destination wasn’t where he had intended but an unstable temporal void. It was a desolate space billions of light-years away without any elemental energies. Exotic matter sparkled and gave off strange radiances while consuming everything in its path like a black hole.
After hearing the smiling Han Shuo explain what he had done, Wasir looked at him with terror in his eyes and asked, “So you have been scheming against him right from the start?”
Han Shuo nodded and replied, “Well, he wanted to escape using a spatial tunnel, so I granted him his wish. Hehe, not only did make him dig his own grave, I’ve even made him jump into it happily! Isn’t this wonderful?”
Wasir was astounded. It took him a moment to regain his senses and he remarked, “You sure are treacherous!” Then, after taking a short pause, he put on a curious look as he asked, “And what will happen to Dennis and the others now?”
“The temporal void will collapse. The implosion will be powerful enough to annihilate them instantly. Other than Dennis who is in the overgod realm, it should be impossible for any of them to survive that kind of power.” Han Shuo put on an even bigger smile and continued, “But Dennis should be heavily injured by the implosion and sucked into a corner of the universe. By my estimates, he would need tens of thousands of years to return to Elysium, minimum.”
A shiver traveled down Wasir’s spine. He took a moment to digest it before remarking, “Ruthless even!”
Han Shuo gladly accepted Wasir’s praise and said nothing about it. He turned around and took a look at Wasir’s followers who were approaching them respectfully. He noticed that Wasir had suffered a considerable amount of losses with hundreds of his followers perished. Some of his most loyal and valiant highgod experts were killed with their bodies completely destroyed.
“My apologies. I did not expect them to show up that soon,” said Han Shuo in a low voice.
Wasir immediately shook his head and replied, “It’s not your fault. Neither did I expect that the woman who cultivates the edict of destiny would be so miraculous that she could predict my every move and even read my thoughts. But fortunately, she couldn’t predict your arrival in time. Otherwise, I’m afraid that the Glacial Peak would have fallen by now.”
“The edict of destiny is miraculous indeed. If Mascy was in the realm of overgod, she would be even more terrifying than she already was. It seems that of the Twelve Fundamental Forces, the Edict of Destiny isn’t just the most mysterious but also the most formidable,” remarked Han Shuo. While he was on his way to the Glacial Peak, he had a vague feeling that someone was probing his soul.
