Chapter 147: When the Protagonist Becomes the Boss

Slay!

Since they had chosen to meet the enemy head-on, there was simply no turning back!

Besides, if they were to retreat now, facing Liu Tian—who was undeniably growing stronger by the moment—their chances of survival would plummet to zero.

With just a single thought, the four super-lifeforms simultaneously activated Time Zero. The elemental forces between heaven and earth instantly provided them with massive computational power, akin to a supercomputer, enabling them to harness this ultimate hyper-speed.

One hundred times the speed of sound! Thirty-four kilometers per second.

A golden lion roared, taking the lead.

The king who had conquered Europe and Africa over the past year spearheaded the charge, and in this very instant, Caesar’s power surged all the way to a staggering one hundred and eighty thousand horses of force.

"So that's how it is?" Seeing this martial art once again, Liu Tian thoroughly grasped the source of Caesar’s power. It was an insanity pushed to its absolute limit, a manifestation of authority and desire so intense that it nearly crushed him and incinerated his sanity. "It seems those videos were actually uploaded by yourself."

"Did humiliation fail to grant you sufficient power, prompting you to switch to authority and desire? Not a bad idea, and it certainly suits your personality."

The throne behind him instantly shattered, water freezing into ice and transforming into countless sharp blades shooting forward from every conceivable angle. Even fragile ice, when driven by a might of two hundred and fifty thousand horses and amplified by the Ultimate Realm, could still inflict lethal damage.

Heavenly Martial Art: Ice Sword Style, Chaotic Sword Stream!

In a flash, countless ice blades slammed violently into Caesar’s body, shattering with a deafening roar. Tiny shards of ice pierced directly beneath his outer layer of skin, the transparent crystals stained crimson with fresh blood.

Yet it was still acceptable. Still endurable.

Moreover, for reasons unknown, Caesar felt a mysterious power within the universe supporting him, causing potent electrical currents to continuously surge through his body—could it be that even this world could no longer tolerate Liu Tian’s existence and was lending a hand?

Caesar had no time to ponder, but right now he felt exceptionally good, so good that he felt capable of shattering Liu Tian’s skull with a single punch.

And so he did!

One hundred and eighty thousand horses of power: Lion's Peerless Punch!

Refusing to retreat, and facing a hyper-speed that surpassed his own, Liu Tian stood his ground, taking the devastating blow directly with one of the toughest parts of a warrior's body—his face—while using that very same formidable asset to launch a counterattack.

Crack!

Centered on the point of their collision, a category-twelve tempest violently erupted!

Sparks flew wildly.

Liu Tian’s skull visibly caved inward under the impact, but simultaneously, Caesar’s fist was blasted apart by Liu Tian’s head. At the same time, a pre-charged hand-blade struck out with ferocious force, plunging directly into the enemy's abdomen. No matter how fast Caesar tried to retreat, a chunk of his flesh was violently ripped away.

Again!

Without retreating, leveraging the advantage of his speed, Caesar shifted behind Liu Tian and unleashed yet another punch with his free hand, aiming squarely at the heart.

Boosted by the naturally occurring electrical currents within his body, this punch unleashed a force even greater than Caesar’s historical peak. With unstoppable momentum, it smashed through Liu Tian’s skin and muscle, ultimately colliding in mutual destruction against his hardened ribcage.

Simultaneously, Liu Tian swept his leg like a blade, executing the Nameless Divine Wind Style Killer Sword: Azure Dragon. Countless gales transformed into razor-sharp blades that burrowed straight into Caesar’s wounds, detonating from within.

The battle had bypassed the probing phase the moment it began, plunging directly into the most perilous stage of exchanging blood for blood.

This was the first solution Liu Tian had devised to deal with these enemies whose speed and reaction times surpassed his own: relying on his peerless attributes to forcefully trade blows.

And then came the second solution—wiping the map clean!

A single thought moved the heavens and earth!

An overwhelming will instantly manipulated everything in the cosmos. Countless bolts of lightning, their surface temperatures rivaling the surface of the sun, crashed down in an indiscriminate baptism of the earth!

Even at a hundred times the speed of sound, it still fell far short of lightning traveling at nearly the speed of light. The violent electrical fury slammed straight into Caesar’s body, leaving a sweet taste of blood in the mouth of the already-injured warrior.

Damn it, this trade is unfavorable! What are they all doing? I've already fought two rounds and they still aren't coming over? Are they selling me out?

The anticipated reinforcements failed to arrive. Even though the Dragon King’s blood within him continuously regenerated his wounds in harmony with the elements, Caesar was forced to fall back first.

Retreating dozens of miles, Caesar saw that Liu Tian was not pursuing him. He began healing his body while attempting to regroup with his comrades, who had likely gotten lost. However, when Caesar clearly observed the status of Odin, Vidae, and the Kraken, the thought that they had sold him out vanished completely. Instead, he began to deeply question his own decisions.

You guys didn't even fight, and yet you're all crippled? Sustained damage from the void?

Catching the scent of roasted meat radiating from the massive bulk of the Kraken, though unsaid, Caesar's eyes clearly conveyed that exact sentiment.

"The moment we moved, it felt like we were struck by lightning. Currents from unknown origins erupted directly inside our bodies, injuring us instantly, so we had no choice," Vidae offered a brief explanation. "However, I've figured out the reason—a closed, intense magnetic field has formed here. The moment we move, it generates induced currents."

"High school physics: induced current $I = BLv$." Without resorting to cellular regeneration, the innate restorative power of the celestial gods alone was enough to mend Liu Tian’s injuries. He spread his hands with a smile and continued his explanation, "The faster you move, the stronger the current. It's the absolute nemesis for you speed-dependent freaks."

Following Liu Tian’s reminder, Caesar finally noticed something he had overlooked—at some point, the electromagnetic field spanning tens of kilometers had been brought under Liu Tian’s complete control, forming a flawless closed loop. Meanwhile, surrounding bolts of lightning struck continuously, frantically amplifying the intensity of this electromagnetic field.

This enclosed electromagnetic field was both the source of the electrical energy that had previously empowered him, and the reason why Vidae and the other two were struck by simulated lightning the moment they moved.

Although the induced current generated by this level of electromagnetic field was merely a minor tonic for Caesar, it was painfully obvious that the physical durability of the other three—possessing only the power of Dragon Kings—had not yet reached the threshold where they could ignore induced currents of a magnitude rivaling natural lightning.

Caesar’s lips twitched slightly. A violent, intense magnetic field erupted directly from within his body. Though it failed to neutralize Liu Tian’s dominion, it successfully disrupted the field, shattering the previously enclosed magnetic setup.

"Stormy and rainy weather is not just your home turf; it is mine as well. Stop playing these meaningless little tricks. Magnetic field rotation inherently grants dominion over external magnetic fields. My level is higher than yours, and my mastery is superior. Tricks like this—I can conjure as many as I want and play with them however I please." Amidst lighthearted banter, Liu Tian’s figure continued to tower upward, his hair turning pristine white. The clothes on his upper body spontaneously combusted without flame, revealing the black sun tattoo underneath. He plunged completely into the state of Orochi Liu Tian, his entire aura turning frantically ferocious. "Come on, unleash your true power! Let me show you the Spiritual Language power that gave you the confidence to fight me!"

"By the way—I can still perform transformations like this three more times, you know?"
