Chapter 1098: Clash 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Garen’s naturally gifted Vitality was so high that no one would be able to compete with him based on his strength alone. Afterall, Potential Points were used to enhance this aspect of his body.

One could only wonder how tough his body could be when the layer of thin film that was derived from his body was applied to his already strong body.

He reached out his hand and covered his palm with the Non-falling Light as he shaped his palm into a hand knife. Then, he attempted to injure himself.

Thud!!

A deep thud could be heard as the hand knife landed on his chest.

He was completely unharmed even without the use of his Energy Field to defend himself.

Ecstasy could be seen in his eyes as he slowly increased his strength.

Two times!

Thud!!

He hit himself onto his chest without mercy.

Nothing happened again.

Three times… Five times… Ten times…

Garen managed to feel some pain only after he increased his attack by ten times. It seemed that the layer of film was not able to completely filter out the strength and allowed some energy to pass through it and injure his skin.

“This is amazing! It has reached the realm of not injuring oneself at only level two. Despite the fact that I have an extremely high Vitality, it is still very powerful.”

Garen’s Vitality was extremely high to begin with. The Tempered Body Technique utilized the practitioner’s Vitality as its foundation to enhance his body. Hence, it was extremely beneficial towards people who possessed incredibly high innate Strength and Vitality.

However, the limit for everyone in the world was twenty points of Vitality. It was the limit that no one could exceed. However, Garen was different. He who had forty points worth of Vitality had far surpassed the realm of a typical person and was way beyond the species’ genetic upper limit.

Furthermore, no one would attempt to learn this Secret Technique after reaching the top. While the Nine-Level Tempered Body Technique wasn’t considered hard to practice, it would require at least ten years to reach level one. One would never be able to reach the entry level if they didn’t start at a very young age.

Garen, too, would not be able to learn this technique if he wasn’t gifted with Potential Points as he had already passed the age of learning it.

“The Predecessor’s wisdom is really incredible,” even he was not sure of the theory towards this Secret Technique’s defense.

“My body’s defense and toughness should be in between sixty to seventy points,” Garen looked at his Status Pane.

As expected, there were new changes towards the Nine-Level Tempered Body Technique.

Energy Machinist’s Secret Method — Nine-Level Tempered Body Technique: Level Two. Increases Vitality by 8 points. (Increment rate at the current Vitality 40*20%).

At the same time, his Attribute Pane had been updated as well. However, it wasn’t as much of an improvement as he had expected.

‘Nonosiva. Lin — Strength 40, Agility 40, Vitality 40 (+8), Intelligence 35, Potential 113082%. Soul Limit 40.’

He didn’t think much of it as everything was already prepared. The strongest man in Polar City had already been frozen beside him and the huge city in front of him was completely defenseless against him.

It was only then that Garen set his sight on the entire Polar City.

Turing had already taken off the Space Equipment from the already frozen Divine Light and presented it in front of Garen.

“Master, there seem to be good items inside them.”

Garen took possession of the items, which were a ring and a pair of spectacles.

He used his Willpower to look inside to find that they were filled with a lot of items. There were big chunks of Mastery Energy Ore’s Essence and a huge variety of exotic and strange looking Mech’s Parts and weapons. Furthermore, there were a lot of used Data Disks and living necessities.

“Let’s wrap everything up. We don’t have time to waste here.”

Garen reached out his hand and black clouds started to gather in the sky similar to what had happened in the Titan City.

A huge amount of white gas gathered on his palm to the point where it seemed like his arm was giving off smoke.

He then virtually gripped the Polar City from afar.

Sizzle…

In an instant, a huge arm made out of white gas appeared out of the black whirling cloud in the sky as it moved downwards.

“Everything shall end with the thirty-second ancestor’s ultimate technique…” Garen closed his palm gently. “Freeze History!”

Boom!!

The humongous arm shattered as it turned into countless of white Cold Energy. It dispersed into white raindrops as it poured.

Toot…!

A harsh alarm rang.

Garen realized something strange had happened as the white gas was obstructed by a layer of white light curtain which had the pattern of a snake on it.

A cluster of white dots swarmed out of Polar City as if Garen had disturbed a hornet’s nest. Those white dots were Pilots piloting the Shining Mech and they were flying towards him.

“Kill the invader!!”

An ice-cold electronic voice could be heard from the sky above the city.

They had no intention of negotiating with him as they outright announced to kill him off.

The cluster of white Mechs combined their Willpower as they headed towards Garen who was at the peak of the mountain.

White laser beams and cannons reached him first before the Mech had even arrived.

Boom!!

There was a series of explosions as the mountain Garen stood on was completely obliterated. Snow and fire mixed together as the dirt and debris soared high up in the sky from the explosion, forming a grey dusty pillar.

Communication via radio waves was sent and exchanged across the sky.

“Let’s bind him first while waiting for the support from the High Energy Orbital Cannon. Battleship Cannon is charging!”

“The opponent is a highly dangerous living being. It’s at least Level Five and above!”

“Be wary of your perimeter and maintain your distance!”

“Captain Great Light will soon arrive. Keep it up, everyone!”

“Prepare the Death Cannon!”

In an instant, a blinding black light was shot down from the sky. It was shot at Garen’s surrounding area and had completely covered the entire circular area up to hundreds of meters.

The mountain peak had collapsed!

The mountain’s height had been halved as it was struck by the cannon which was shot from a few thousand meters high. At the same time, the mountain peak was shattered into three large pieces as they glided down to its surrounding. The Pilots in the sky continued shooting these pieces into smaller debris as they were in the midst of breaking apart.

The Powerhouses that were in the city had started to appear in their own Mech as they floated in the sky, looking at Garen’s general direction.

“The city’s defense that could sustain an attack from the Non-Falling Level was broken by that attack just now! The enemy is a Non-Falling Level!” An old man said softly. He was operating a Great Light Mech and there were at least ten other operating the same Mech as him.

On the other hand, the people from the Black Flood Party were beside them in their own Mechs. Their Mechs were of different designs but all of them had one common point. Their Mechs’ shell was reflective, like a mirror.

It was the Mech material unique to the Divine Wind General.

The Forth Divine Wind General, Seventh Divine Wind General and two other traitorous powerhouses were grouped together in their Mechs.

Finally, the last crowd was a group which consisted of Ice Dragon, Fila and three other Inherited Level Mechs.

Surprisingly, Fila managed to rise to Inherited Level in a very short amount of time. It was very obvious that he did not rely on his own strength.

At this point in time, everyone gave all of their attention towards the ruined mountain.

“Can anyone analyze the situation inside?”

The highest ranked old man whispered.

“It’s very difficult. The radiation fluctuation is too great and causes too much instrument interference,” a Great Light Mech behind the old man responded softly.

The old man frowned as he glanced at the people from the Black Flood Party.

“The opponent has said that they’re here for you people. Don’t you guys have anything to say since you’re the root to this problem!?” He had always looked down on these characters who betrayed their own organization. Humans always had some bad habits deep-rooted in them and they would feel much less guilty compared to the first time they committed such act. In short, if they had done it once, they were more like to commit the second time or more.

This was the reason why he had never trusted the people from the Black Flood Party.

“White Whale, we’re victims in this matter as well. Although the opponent seems to be coming after us, I’m sure he’s also… hehe,” The Forth Divine Wind General spoke as he tried to come up with an excuse. “Furthermore, there’s no use in saying all these things since we’ve already opened fire. Are you hoping that the opponent will stop attacking and call for a truce after receiving a barrage of attacks?”

The Seventh Divine Wind General levitated silently behind him. His lifestyle in the Polar Region was worse than Blackboard Region. He already regretted early on but he could only walk down the path of darkness as he, unfortunately, could no longer turn back.

“Why hasn’t the Chief Leader arrived yet despite the situation?” One man asked.

“Perhaps he had gone to some other place and couldn’t get back in time,” the old man frowned. “Doesn’t matter. Regardless if the opponent is a Non-Falling Level or not, he is of no threat to us since he had to spread his strength over a wide area. Each of his white gas at most has the power of a Level Four. We are fine as long as we don’t let him destroy us one by one.”

“You’re right. We should be able to last until the Chief Leader returns,” one of the men agreed.

Then, an extremely frightening aura suddenly appeared above everyone.

Another giant arm which spanned thousands of meters wide appeared once more!!

The giant arm which was made out of an enormous amount of white gas struck downward.

Boom!!

The shockwave instantly deafened each and every one of the commoner’s ears within the city as blood started to flow out from their ears.

The snake patterned film could not last for even one second as it shattered, giving off a huge shockwave.

A humanoid figure in white robe could be seen above the giant arm as he levitated silently. The wind fluttered his robe as it kept moving to the left.

A bright, silver V-shaped imprint could be clearly seen on the white-robed man’s forehead. The imprint gave off an eye-catching halo as if it was the only light source among the black clouds.

“Freeze… History!”

Everyone could clearly hear him speaking in a very cold tone.

The giant arm then continued striking down!

***************

Underneath the Polar City.

A humanoid shadow was sitting on his knees deep inside a dark palace.

As the intense Ice Energy’s ripple came from above, the human figure slowly opened his eyes and they were shining in purple.

“Jeros! You’ve crossed the line!!”

A deep roar rang within the humanoid’s body as if there were countless bells ringing in unison.

He then raised his right hand and moved it towards his head.

In an instant, an endless amount of black and purple shadows gathered chaotically to his palm, as if the materials’ energy was instantly condensed into his arm.

Kaboom!!

The surface of the Polar City had been completely destroyed.

The surface cracked open as a giant black metallic arm which spanned thousands of meters wide surfaced and went towards the arm in the sky.

Countless of buildings collapsed as the huge arm appeared. Many people were crying and screaming in fear. Turbulent airflows were induced as the dust surrounded the black arm.

Two equally huge arms collided with each other.

In that instant, the world stopped moving.
