Nearly three ters tall with horns, the very symbol of a Demon, sprouting from his head. His physique was beyond human imagination, truly like a Demon from an Alternate Space that had descended upon Earth, his form a near-perfect match for depictions in certain religious texts.
Or perhaps, this was the true, original form of Andy’s people.
He had partially broken the life shackles of his body, shedding his human flesh to reveal a form that perfectly matched the true nature of his soul.
In the past, this was an evolutionary level that surpassed all life on Earth—a Power that had never belonged to this planet!
BOOM!
His imnse life signature blazed like a furnace. Surging blood and rising body temperature filled the entire Life Fighting Arena with a scorching heat, as if a Scorching Sun were baking the land.
Dela, who considered himself at the apex of Earth’s food chain, now felt an imnse threat.
His dominion was facing a colossal challenge.
"You who call yourself the Overlord, are you prepared for a baptism in my power?"
A savage, terrifying expression twisted Andy’s inhuman features.
"The shackles of life, you say? Perfect. I happen to be quite curious about that realm myself..."
"But a half-assed amateur like you, with your incomplete, temporary breakthrough... you’d better not disappoint too much!"
Far from receding, the smile on Dela’s face grew even wilder.
For his enemies, defeating him ant they could take everything he had.
Conversely, by defeating a powerful foe, he could plunder everything they possessed!
This was how he had clawed his way, step by step, to his current pinnacle.
In his eyes, this wasn’t a threat. On the contrary, it was the opportunity he needed to truly break through those shackles!
’This guy...’
Sensing that his opponent’s fighting spirit hadn’t weakened—but had instead grown even more ferocious—a dangerous glint flashed in Andy’s eyes.
"Then, as you wish!"
BANG!
In the next instant, a powerful vortex of air ford around him. Simultaneously, a trendous, deafening crack echoed through the Life Fighting Arena.
Andy’s body beca a blur, moving too fast to follow.
’Is this... Did his burst of speed just break the sound barrier?!’
Even with the power of Black Knights like Anna and Goth, they found they couldn’t even make out his movents!
What kind of terrifying explosive power could such speed generate?
Dela’s eyes narrowed. His imnse will spread out in an instant, and the range of the crimson light expanded once more.
Overlord’s Will—submit!
Wherever the crimson light fell, nature itself seed to pay him homage, actively creating the optimal combat environnt for him while simultaneously hindering and weakening any being that bore him ill will.
Upon entering the crimson-lit area, Andy could clearly feel the air resistance thicken and the gravity intensify. The ground would even suddenly soften into sand, trying to throw him off balance.
Just like it had been on Earth thousands of years ago.
Andy recalled the history of the Celestial Demons.
When the Celestial Demons first descended upon this world, nature itself rose up against them, creating all manner of obstacles.
Fluctuations in the magnetic field, shifts in the climate, the acceleration of Life Evolution, the birth of Ancient Heroes...
But in the end, none of these obstacles could halt their advance.
A level of life and Power that transcended this planet would trample everything underfoot.
Just as he was doing now!
BANG!
He didn’t project any magnetic field, rely using one to shield himself as his formidable body crashed straight into Dela’s Domain.
One punch!
BOOM!
A vapor cone ford as his fist tore through the air. The speed of the punch shattered the sound barrier.
An unbelievable level of power.
"Hah!"
Dela threw a savage punch of his own, colliding with his opponent’s fist.
An explosive force erupted. The skin on Dela’s face rippled from the gale generated by the opposing fist. His hair was whipped back, plastered so tightly against his scalp that it seed the force of the wind would tear it out by the roots.
From the high platform, Anna and the others clearly saw a massive, fan-shaped shockwave erupt within the Life Fighting Arena as Andy’s punch connected.
Dela’s body was sent sliding far back by the trendous force, and a faint crack appeared in bones as strong as steel rebar.
’It’s not just his physical strength. The way he generates power... it’s not human anymore...’
Beyond his external appearance, his internal organs, skeletal structure, and muscle composition had all transcended the known bounds of human anatomy.
To put it bluntly, he was like an entirely new species.
’Is this the view from beyond the life shackles? A complete leap in one’s very being. The limits of the human body are released, allowing one to develop a powerful form that perfectly suits one’s will and techniques—a body that far surpasses human capabilities.’
It was as if a process of evolution that should have taken hundreds of millions of years had been condensed into a single lifeti.
These shackles were a form of interference in the direction of one’s own Life Evolution.
This physical shell was now completely mastered. Furthermore, its wielder could now autonomously modify it, guiding it toward unknown possibilities.
From wielder to creator.
Ahead lay possibilities far vaster than Saint Awakening. Like the very diversity of life, the results of self-directed evolution were all the more unpredictable.
"So, this is the extent of your power. What good is a strong will? A mortal is still just a mortal in the end!"
Knocking Dela back with one punch, the smile on Andy’s face grew even more terrifying. He didn’t pause for a single mont before charging at Dela again.
’In the limited ti I have,’ he thought, ’I must tear Dela to shreds. Only that will be enough to offset the price I’ve paid.’
"How... magnificent..."
A fascinated gleam appeared in Dela’s eyes—the look of anticipation and yearning for the vast world that lies beyond a parted mist.
’Bring it. Let’s see who walks out of this Life Fighting Arena alive. The winner will take everything from the loser!’
Instead of dodging Andy’s attack, he t it head-on.
An Overlord never retreats!
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Their bodies beca a blur, tangling together as the continuous, violent sounds of their collisions sent tremors through the entire stadium.
Blood and sweat sprayed into the turbulent air, shrouding both fighters in a crimson mist.
The expressions on Anna and the others grew grim. In this clash, Dela was at an absolute disadvantage.
The power wielded by one of the Seven Mo Luo of the Celestial Organization was beyond imagination.
Their once-unwavering confidence in Dela began to falter.
Was the man who stood at the pinnacle about to fall from his high throne built on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, only to be smashed to smithereens?
