"Cough cough..."
Kujo Hiroharu awkwardly raised his head, looked at the unhard ancestor Kinko, and was about to burst into a wild laugh of relief.
However, the next second...
His laughter caught in his throat.
A black figure slowly flew out from the billowing smoke.
Those weren't corpses blown apart.
It is a throne.
A ferocious throne ford by countless strange beetles emitting a faint purple light.
Caesar was no longer retained.
His tattered black trench coat fluttered wildly in the turbulent airflow. Although the throne behind him, ford from countless beetles, had collapsed, the scattered swarms of insects did not flee. Instead, they vibrated their elytra wildly at an eerie frequency.
Buzzing—
A chilling low-frequency resonance resounded through the sky.
An ancient, savage, terrifying aura, originating from the ancient insectoid overlords, erupted from Caesar's body without reservation.
It was not rely an accumulation of power; it was a leap in the level of life.
Behind him, the void twisted, and a gigantic, compound-eyed phantom appeared, obscuring the sky and coldly watching over all living beings.
SSS Rank!
His aura was still immature, and his power was not yet fully under his control, but the essence of this oppressive aura had indeed touched upon that legendary realm!
Within the golden cocoon, the voice that had once been high above, regarding all living beings as ants, began to fluctuate for the first ti.
"Um?"
"This guy... is also an SSS-level professional?"
"It's a pity that it hasn't fully developed yet."
There was a hint of surprise in Kujo Naruya's voice, but more so an arrogance ingrained in his very being.
He was like a fully grown tiger seeing a cub with its milk teeth just sprouting; it was threatening, but not sothing to fear.
However, these words struck Kujo Hiroharu like a bolt from the blue.
"What?"
"SSS level?"
Kujo Hiroji stared wide-eyed at the man in the distance who exuded a sinister blackish-purple aura, thinking he had misheard.
The insect tar who had repeatedly opposed him in the Sakura Kingdom, the culprit who destroyed half of his kingdom, was actually also an SSS-rank!
The Great Xia Kingdom actually already had an SSS-level creature?
After the imnse fear, a sense of relief suddenly welled up in Kujo Hiroharu's heart.
He was glad he had made the craziest and most extre choice.
Fortunately, he was willing to pay any price, even bearing the infamy of massacring his own people, to resurrect his ancestor.
Otherwise, if Kujo Naruya hadn't faced such a promising SSS-rank insect tar, what would the Sakura Kingdom have been able to do to stop him?
Before long, under the leadership of this insect tar, the Great Xia Kingdom will completely destroy the Sakura Kingdom and wipe the Yamato people off the map!
"Ancestor! Kill him!"
Kujo Hiroharu scrambled to his feet, ignoring the blood streaming down his face, and roared at Caesar, "We absolutely cannot let him leave alive! He is the greatest threat to our Sakura Kingdom!"
However, as Kujo Hiroharu roared, Caesar, controlled by Zhou Huai, had already moved.
Without further ado, the air beneath Caesar's feet exploded, and he transford into a black streak of light, charging headlong into the center of the altar amidst the overwhelming golden storm.
His goal was very clear—the pendulum of life!
That is the core that sustains this sacrificial ritual, and the source of Kujo Naruya's power.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself."
A cold snort ca from inside the golden cocoon.
Faced with Caesar's desperate charge, the divine patterns on the surface of the golden cocoon lit up.
Buzz—!
A golden beam of light, more refined and terrifying than before, lashed out at Caesar like the scourge of God.
Caesar neither dodged nor avoided, crossing his arms in front of his chest, his insect armor multiplying and transforming into a thick black shield.
The beam of light collided with the shield.
The standoff lasted for less than a fraction of a second.
Click!
The insect armor shield, which was strong enough to withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion, was as fragile as paper in the face of SSS-level power and shattered instantly.
Caesar was thrown backward at an even greater speed than when he arrived, as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed train.
Bang!
A loud bang.
Caesar crashed heavily into the huge crater in the distance, kicking up clouds of dust.
"So what if they're SSS-level professionals?"
The voice from within the golden cocoon was full of disdain and mockery.
"You are still too weak right now."
Kujo Hiroharu was overjoyed at the sight and was about to say a few words of flattery.
However, as soon as Kujo Naruya finished speaking, his previously contemptuous tone suddenly faltered.
"Um?"
A voice filled with surprise and uncertainty rang out.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the center of the altar, on the wildly spinning pendulum of life.
He was a man wearing a black trench coat, holding a long sword, and with a full beard.
It was Yasuo.
"What?"
"when......"
The voice inside the golden cocoon was noticeably less composed than before, and even carried a hint of disbelief.
His attention had been focused on Caesar.
After all, the SSS-level aura that Caesar exuded was too conspicuous. He was the most threatening person to him among all the people, and the only opponent who was worthy of his attention.
But to his utter surprise, while he was focused on dealing with the "tiger cub," he was outmaneuvered by another inconspicuous "fly."
Even he, a powerhouse who once stood at the pinnacle of the world, hadn't reacted in ti before the opponent was already close to the pendulum of life, and even standing on the divine artifact!
In fact, Zhou Huai had already devised this tactic before Caesar erged from the mushroom cloud.
He knew that he had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation against an awakened SSS-level powerhouse.
The only chance of winning is through a sneak attack!
Therefore, he secretly handed the black chain, which was specifically designed to restrain the pendulum of life, to Yasuo.
After all, Yasuo is the fastest of all his clones, possessing a skill called 【Thor's Mark】 that is comparable to teleportation.
Even the SSS-level Caesar is far inferior to Yasuo in terms of burst speed.
He then had Caesar unleash his full power, even risking his life to confront the Golden Cocoon head-on, all to draw Kujou Naruya's attention.
This ti, Zhou Huai used the SSS-level Caesar as bait!
This is a high-stakes gamble.
The bet was that Kujo Naruya had just awakened, was in a state of confusion, and was extrely arrogant, so he wouldn't take anyone else seriously.
And he won the gamble!
Before anyone could react, Yasuo had already moved.
His eyes remained calm, and the black chain in his hand lashed out like a nimble black snake!
Splash!
The chains pierced the air, carrying an eerie aura that seed to seal away all things, and coiled around the enormous golden pendulum.
"You dare!"
Inside the golden cocoon, Kujo Naruya let out an angry roar, the sound carrying a terrifying ntal shock that caused cracks to appear in the surrounding space.
However, it was too late.
Yasuo's movents were swift, precise, and ruthless; the chain wrapped around the pendulum three tis before snapping back!
Buzz—!
The life pendulum, which was originally radiant and frantically devouring life energy, was like a duck with its neck being choked the mont it was bound by chains.
The deafening buzzing stopped abruptly.
The dazzling golden light emanating from his body dimd, and the divine power flowing on his surface was suppressed by the black chains.
"court death!!!"
Kujo Naruya was utterly enraged.
Boom—!
The golden cocoon expanded, and an enormous golden lightning bolt, carrying the will to destroy everything, shot out from the cocoon ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ and headed straight for Yasuo.
This attack, unleashed in fury, was several tis more terrifying than the one that had sent Caesar flying earlier.
If it hits, even an SS-level Yasuo will be reduced to ashes.
【Thor's Armor】!
Sizzle—!
A suit of armor ford from condensed lightning covered his entire body.
The next second.
boom!
The golden lightning struck Yasuo hard.
The seemingly indestructible Thor's Armor shattered in less than half a second.
Yasuo was struck head-on by a teorite, spitting out blood, his sternum shattered, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
But his hand gripping the chain did not loosen!
Even with broken fingers and a bloody ss, that hand still gripped the end of the chain like an iron clamp.
The enormous impact actually beca his booster.
Using the terrifying recoil, Yasuo transford into a golden teor and sped away from the snow-capped mountains.
Along with the chain, and the pendulum of life bound by the chain, he forcibly pulled them away!
