Chapter 172: Vol2 Ch70: The ideal state has been marginally achieved

Translator: La0o9

Another Negary was standing below the Omniscient Eye, as if the one that Fang Ze destroyed earlier was someone completely unrelated.

Besides him, the other three people in his base also stood up.

The hovering Omniscient Eye started to morph. As it no longer contained Soul Essence, its structure gradually changed and returned to its purest golden liquid form—— Soul’s Blood, then hovered behind Negary.

Negary stood facing Fang Ze. Having finished his test with the illusion, he could now understand what the so-called [Protagonist Aura] actually was. Naturally, there were still finer details that he didn’t know about it, but he understood what he needed to understand, and that was enough.

〖 It seems a battle would be necessary after all 〗

Negary slowly approached Fang Ze, picked up the sword that he had dropped earlier and rushed at him without wasting any words.

Both Killer J and Noah also moved towards their own targets, only Lan Shan remained where she was, closely observing Negary.

“That’s impossible, I’m sure that I destroyed your soul just now…” Fang Ze unleashed Disasforce from his hand to parry Negary’s sword and unhesitatingly retaliated with a punch, his face glum.

After connecting to so many people within the illusion, Fang Ze seemed to have automatically grasped a lot of things, now fully capable of utilizing his interference force, permeating it into every bit of Disasforce he unleashed.

While Negary’s sword originally had the ability to cut off his mental connection with his Disasforce, the weapon would now be interrupted by Fang Ze’s interference force before it could reach his Disasforce. At the same time, Fang Ze’s Disasforce was also constantly shifting and moving, ensuring that Negary’s sword couldn’t break through.

Negary’s sword constantly thrust forward like falling raindrops in a storm, the raw strength of his body’s viral constitution combined with his Disasforce imbued the sword with incredible destructive capabilities. Furthermore, Negary’s sword skills were unmatched, simply because he had consumed more expert sword users than other people had even met in their entire lives.

Every bit of force he used was just enough, striking at points where Fang Ze would have used to exert his own strength, forcing Fang Ze into a restrained state.

From the perspective of pure strength, Fang Ze should be stronger than Negary. After all, not only did he have the same Disaster King-level Disasforce, he had also reached the second stage of release and received the improvements that came with it.

And yet, the current situation was one where Negary was completely overpowering Fang Ze. If not for the Disasforce that protected his body, he would have been killed by Negary several times over.

“Wang Yuan!” Fang Ze once again roared Negary’s alias in fury, as if that would actually bring him strength. His combat experience was improving at an inhuman rate, the property of his Disasforce constantly changing like a flipbook.

While defending, it would change to He Qiao’s plant attribute and gain immense vitality. Whenever there was a short window of opportunity, it would change to his own Authority that contained the ‘force of impact’ and ‘high temperature’ property. And even the Authorities of others: [Bone Fracture] which had the ‘breaking’ property, [Pothole] which had the ‘sinking’ and ‘abrupt crack’ property, [Stray Arrow] which allowed him to control projectiles while attacking from afar.

Constantly using so many diverse abilities fluidly should have allowed Fang Ze to be practically unbeatable, and yet he was mercilessly suppressed by Negary. Negary’s utilization of power, ability to read humans, as well as his selection of stratagem far exceeded what Fang Ze would ever be capable of.

〖 Your next words are: Why am I still inferior to you!? 〗Negary suddenly declared as he shifted his body and delivered a kick onto Fang Ze’s chest.

“Why am I still inferior to you!?” hearing the words that he subconsciously uttered, Fang Ze’s face went pale.

As his Disasforce was released for a split second, Negary’s figure flashed and appeared immediately in front of Fang Ze. A white flash appeared in his vision, causing Fang Ze’s pupils to dilate. Fortunately, Fang Ze only lost focus and control of his interference force for a split second; the Disasforce in front of his body exploded and sent him flying backwards.

Blood cleanly flowed, another wound had been inflicted on top of Fang Ze’s forehead at almost the exact same position as the first, except this one was tilted left instead of right.

An old wound and a new wound, the two of them overlapped to make an [X], as if to deny Fang Ze himself.

Humans were creatures that constantly received and processed information from their environment. Since the very beginning of this battle, Negary had been using both his actions and inaction to guide Fang Ze’s thoughts, sowing subconscious suggestions, then triggered them through his words.

…

“A Ze!” Liu Shi had been constantly paying attention to Fang Ze’s situation, so she immediately noticed as this happened and hurriedly tried to rush towards him.

A bright red glass blade immediately appeared behind Liu Shi’s back and stabbed her without hesitation. However, numerous vines quickly appeared and coiled around Killer J’s wrist, preventing him from delivering the killing blow.

Liu Shi finally recognized the danger. Her IQ once again went online as she rolled forward and avoided the dagger from Killer J’s other hand.

“Trust in A Ze, this is his fight!” He Qiao’s tone was filled with nothing but worry, but still declared that.

“That brat looks like he’s going to die soon, would you two beauties be interested in volunteering as my second and third mistresses?” Killer J glanced around the battlefield and asked. Zhang Wei and Lu Tong were also here, staring coldly at Killer J. Meanwhile Noah was also holding off the four people from the D.E.R division by himself.

Liu Shi turned around and glared at Killer J full of killing intent. This guy was exactly like an annoying fly, no matter how they tried to attack him, he would still be able to detect it ahead of time and casually avoid it without trouble.

It was four against one, but the four of them were the side being held off, and if they made just the slightest mistake, the dangerously glowing red glass blade in his hand would mercilessly thrust at them.

“Seems like I’ll have to resort to my secret move” Killer J smiled brightly, wielding a blade of killing intent in both his left and right hand, followed by a third blade of killing intent that appeared between his teeth. He then shouted the name of the technique in a physically impossible manner: “Ogi – Sanzen Sekai1!”

Killer J’s body then started spinning on its own like a miniature tornado, the blades striking the air produced countless ‘shi shi’ sounds that subconsciously caused the people here to produce even more killing intent against him.

…

On the other side, Noah coldly stood and observed the four people from the D.E.R division, asking them: “Aren’t you worried? You should know, the current Fang Ze doesn’t have even the slightest chance of victory!”

“If we’re talking about worry, shouldn’t you be more worried for yourself?” Chang Xia’s long blade turned and swung at Noah.

“My Lord pronounced: blades cannot approach my body” an invisible force abruptly manifested to block Chang Xia’s attack, and Noah’s voice continued: “My Lord pronounced: gunpowder will lose their effect”

Seven had just pulled the trigger, only to find that her gun didn’t react at all, giving her no choice but to draw a dagger and rushed at Noah.

Xiao Ba Fu stood on the backline, constantly exercising his [Bone Fracture] Authority, his relatively weak Disasforce also surged towards Noah.

Meanwhile, since he received friendly fire earlier and had now broken bones, Zhang Zi Jie could only hide in a corner, waiting for an opportunity to effectively use his [Pothole] Authority.

Grabbing Seven’s hand by her wrist with one hand and parrying Chang Xia’s long blade with the other, Noah displayed an expert level of close combat capabilities while maintaining his ever-natural expression: “How weak, who actually gave you the courage to challenge My Lord?”
