Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1435 - 32: Edge of Collapse (Part 1)

"Ugh...!"

In a moment of contemplation, an icy, twisting pain shot through Qiluo’s right arm. It felt as though a thousand rusted chains were tightening between her bones and nerves, inciting a terrible urge to sever the arm.

The right hand that held the sword had literally turned to steel. On her cold, grayish-blue skin, the chains that previously bound Jinglian were entwined.

This was an inevitable outcome. It would be strange if there was no price to pay for using a super-specification, cheating method like the Divine Descent Skill. The heart itself would be eroded by the "God," which for an Information Life Form meant their physical existence would also change. In another minute, her entire right arm would transform, then her right side, torso, head... Qiluo’s instincts as an Information Life Form told her the exact time, but she didn’t focus on those numbers.

What truly needed her attention was the battle before her. The girl gathered her resolve and summoned the second arm of the Heavenly Demon.

"...Second Skill, activate."

Click, Qiluo pressed the button in her mind. The borrowed time was returned, and the gray-white world began to flow anew. A gigantic hand, like a mountain, closed in, the gates to purgatory opened wide, and the girls on brooms were swept away like dust by the magnificent divine punishment, crushed and annihilated by the Thunder Angel’s hands—

Then, on the tightly closed surface of the huge hand, appeared several strange "blisters." Like burns from high temperatures, an uncountable number of "blisters" emerged along the surface of the giant hand, extending all the way to the arm’s root. Rainbow Winged Lord let out a slight gasp, realizing it wasn’t burning but the impact penetrating the angel’s body. Some unpredictable force was growing within the Thunder Angel’s hand, and those "blisters" swelled rapidly, erupting with a clear, blood-red brilliance!

"——Reincarnation Blood Spear!"

A deafening blast echoed through the heavens and earth, reducing the Thunder Angel’s hands to dust in the explosion. Blood-red shockwaves rippled out from the blast center, the violent impact shattering the gates of purgatory. In the center of the explosion stood a pink-haired girl, pointing skyward with one hand, a ghostly pale double-headed spear above her fingertip. The spinning double-headed spear emitted rings of bloody light, instantly dispersing the soulless spirits of the Mud Sea.

This wasn’t an attack, as attacks couldn’t harm these soulless remnants. Those entities were "dispersed." The bone spear resembled a compassionate monk entering purgatory to help souls transcend with scripture.

"Soulless remnants, obediently reincarnate!" Qiluo roared, "Take this, you bastard old man!!"

Qiluo grasped the perpetually spinning double-headed spear with one hand, flinging it forward like a javelin. The Blood Torture Spear skimmed the surface like light, drying out mud, evaporating floods, extinguishing heavenly fire. The earth within the Creation Realm surged like tides, cleaved into millions of blocks by the Blood Torture Spear. All the blocks were carried aloft by the spear’s gale as it shot forward, carving a path of destruction toward the Rainbow Winged Lord within the Blazing Rainbow Heaven!

"A Skill born from the karma of suffering and sin... called Blood Torture yet truly an exorcism, such a contradiction, and a bit curious..." Rainbow Winged Lord stroked his long beard, casually drawing a line, "Heaven’s Gate."

A seven-colored door opened before him, and the Blood Torture Spear shot directly into it, hurtling into the God Mountain within Blazing Rainbow Heaven, engaging in a fierce battle with countless angels. Rainbow Winged Lord effortlessly evaded this decisive Skill, pressing down on the fourth seal, suddenly pointing toward the distant two, with a mischievous smile.

"Judgment’s Bell."

The immense bell sound resonated from Heaven Mountain, instantly halting the fierce movement of Qiluo. She clutched her steelized right arm, emitting a non-human moan. It was the bell of judgment for sin, a special attack against malicious concepts and spiritual bodies. At this moment, Rainbow Winged Lord suddenly changed tactics, forgoing the fourth seal and choosing to strike directly at Qiluo’s weakness.

"Dream Bubble Shadow!"

Shiyu Ling held Qiluo tightly, shooting a hazy short arrow that crossed space in a flash, directly hitting the great bell on Heaven Mountain, turning it into an empty phantom. The bell sound ceased immediately, and Qiluo suppressed her pained gasps, struggling to stand upright.

"Sorry, Ling... Shiyu Ling, I..." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"It’s okay, it’s okay, good sisters help each other out." Shiyu Ling ruffled her hair, casting a cold glance at Rainbow Winged Lord, "An old man resorting to sneak attacks at his age, no shame at all?"

"What intrigue is there in a stagnant battle?" Rainbow Winged Lord said cheerfully, "It seems the mere surface is no longer sufficient for you. Let’s take the opportunity to change the battlefield!"

Rainbow Winged Lord’s index finger rose like a baton, vanishing into the clouds along with Heaven Mountain. Shiyu Ling clicked her tongue loudly, lifted her broom, and ascended into the sky with Qiluo. From atop the Divine Mountain, Rainbow Winged Lord’s angel army rained down various lightning, fire, and sword soldiers. Qiluo summoned the Heavenly Demon’s second arm once more, left hand wielding the Immortal Binding Rope, right hand the Blood Torture Spear, eradicating all Divine Skills. Her pupils gradually transformed into a fiery gold during the battle, her speech increasingly resembling someone else: "Bring it on! No matter what tactics you use, I will thoroughly crush them!"

She slashed simultaneously with her dual weapons, the violent power dispersing the infinite clouds. The view cleared instantly, revealing a sky crystal blue above the sea of clouds, with endless white clouds spread like a flat expanse. Yet in the vast void where nothing should obscure, a dim shadow loomed.

Qiluo gazed up at the clouds, far into the distance. On the horizon stood a pale green giant, its legs grounded below the clouds, its head lost in the azure sky. Its lower body was human, clad in a battle skirt, while its upper half was a serpent’s form clad in iron thorns, with four pairs of wings extending from its back, wrapping half of the Earth like the arms of a god.

They stood in the giant’s shadow, like two grains of sand in the vast ocean.

"When the Fourth Seal is unlocked, I saw the earth shatter, and the sky fall. A green angel departed from the Divine Mountain, granted with fierce winds and wings, guiding the fleeing souls."

Rainbow Winged Lord stood atop the serpent-bodied angel’s head, personally removing the fourth seal. He nodded toward the distant two, his smile serene.

"Come, children." The old man said, "I eagerly await how you will conquer my world."

The Fourth Seal, "Divine Wind," governed by Raphael, the Wind Angel of healing and life.

Its body surpasses the limits of visible observation, its four wings fully extended can envelop nearly half the Earth, with a rough height estimate of over 4,000 kilometers. Were it not for Rainbow Winged Lord’s "kindness" in covering the surface with the Creation Realm Skill, the Wind Angel’s presence alone would trigger global calamities. Its wings’ motion would generate storms tearing through the atmosphere, its steps would shift continental plates, the power within its colossal body could shatter a planet with a single blow —

It could obliterate Earth in just one second.
