At the moment the game character engaged in combat with Holland, Zhang Juan seemed to have disappeared completely, no longer making any moves.

There was no need to think about it, she was definitely preparing an effective attack or looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Holland’s thin needle weapon seemed scarce; after firing several, which did not cause any fatal damage to the game character, she directly abandoned this combat method.

She began a powerful frontal confrontation with the game character.

Apart from the original metal shield, she brought out several hundred metal spheres the size of fists.

These metal spheres were thrown by her, brushing past the game character at extreme speed.

Because there were so many, the game character couldn’t avoid them all preemptively and inadvertently touched one.

At the moment of contact, the sphere’s mass increased suddenly. This strike was akin to concentrating the mass of an entire mountain onto one ball, instantly piercing through the armor formed by Myriad Phenomena Illusion on the game character, and then directly hitting the void state, completely defensive game character, easily breaking through his superpower protection, and consequently smashing through the Dragon Scale and flesh, leaving a hole in his body.

Although the injury recovered in an instant, and the Myriad also swiftly consumed energy to conduct self-repair.

But where there’s one, there’s two; these hundreds of spheres moved erratically, and Holland could easily control their mass, stopping or accelerating them suddenly. Even if the speed couldn’t match that of the flying needles, it far exceeded the game character’s normal movement speed.

Even though the game character could foresee the future, he could see but couldn’t avoid it.

Easily his positioning would be blocked, and he would have to take a hit from a sphere.

Within two or three seconds, the game character was left covered in holes.

However, his recovery capability was quite exaggerated, almost instantly recovering as soon as one hole was created.

Occasionally, the game character also attempted to attack these spheres; under full force, he could slightly hinder their progress.

The game screen flashed quickly by, and Lin Qianxuan didn’t know how long the two had been fighting, just felt it must have been longer than a minute or two.

Although the game character’s attack intensity was insufficient, his recovery ability was genuinely abnormal.

Coupled with his seemingly endless energy, the consumption for repairing his body was completely negligible.

As long as he’s not killed in an instant, no matter how strong the opponent is, they’ll be worn down until they’re exasperated.

In an occasional frame showing Holland, the expression under her transparent face shield looked as if she had swallowed a fly, extremely uncomfortable.

Clearly, she had the advantage in all aspects, leaving the opponent with no power to fight back, but how do you deal with an opponent whose healing speed outpaces your ability to deal damage?

More importantly, her energy continued to weaken during this exchange, whereas the game character not only didn’t weaken but even adapted to her strength, growing fiercer as the fight went on.

Facing such an opponent, it’s really uncomfortable in every aspect.

Suddenly, Holland’s control over the metal spheres slightly paused, then with a flick of her hand, a giant black wide fabric with metallic reflections appeared on the rear side.

At the same time, dazzling golden light erupted, and a golden beam of light, who knows shot from hundreds of kilometers away, instantly enveloped Holland.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t even need to think, knowing it must be Zhang Juan taking action.

Under the impact of this golden beam, Holland was forced to unleash her full power to defend, the black metal fabric faintly exhibiting distorted colors, twisting and attracting a large amount of golden light.

What surprised Lin Qianxuan was that this gravitational force only faced the side of the golden light and did not impact Holland.

The game character seeing this situation, didn’t stay idle.

Even Lin Qianxuan in front of the screen could see that this was a brilliant opportunity, let alone him, who was in the midst of it.

His body’s energy rapidly accumulated, True Flame instantly covering his body, and the clothing transformed by Myriad Phenomena Illusion extended into gauntlets encompassing both fists, with a faint flow of water entwined around both arms.

Nari’s explosive technique, the functionalities of Myriad itself, the enhancement of the Sound of Destiny, the effects of Water Manipulation, and more were all utilized.

The game character raised a fist and swung, instantly arriving at Holland’s side, pounding out with immense force focused on one point.

Holland, as usual, used that thin metal shield for a block.

But this time, she obviously couldn’t block it easily.

The part of the shield under attack was starting to crack.

Myriad simulating the Piercing True Intent obtained from the Holy Spear also seemed to take effect, its formed gravitational force seemed to be pierced through.

At this critical moment, Lin Qianxuan saw a prompt.

[Over the long period, you have adapted to the current environment…]

[Please choose one of the following three superpowers to load onto the Evolutionary Body.]

[Lightweight (Tier Five): You can expend your own energy to reduce the mass and density of yourself and surrounding materials within a certain range.]

[Gravity Refutation (Tier Five): Expending energy, cancels a specific strength of gravity from affecting you.]

[Body Enhancement (Tier Five): The density of your cells is moderately increased, substantially enhancing strength and defense.]

The first is a targeted superpower.

Because Holland had been using increased material gravity to harm the game character, now the game character could, in turn, reduce the mass and density of materials, weakening Holland’s superpower to a certain extent.

The second is also a targeted superpower, resisting gravity.

The last one is a basic enhancing superpower the game character evolved in this high-intensity combat, highly comprehensive.

It seemed any of the three superpowers would work, but Lin Qianxuan felt that selecting just one targeted superpower wouldn’t be strong enough; it’s better to add some combat power to the game character.

So choosing the third would be the best.

Lin Qianxuan made the choice, and the game character’s body quickly began changing, with higher cell density and more reasonable structure, more explosive strength.

This state allowed his eruption to rise another notch.

Don’t underestimate the single Tier Five superpower of a game character, which at most increases interference values by twenty to thirty billion. There’s a significant gap compared to these masters whose superpower interference values reach hundreds of billions.

But in the real world, an increase of just a few percent is a substantial qualitative change.

And this small improvement in the game character is the final straw that broke the camel’s back.

“Crack! Boom!”

The game character’s fist pierced the shield. Holland clearly didn’t anticipate this; at the critical moment, he could no longer save his weapon. With a wave of his hand, he released thousands of metal needles, while a semi-transparent energy shield appeared outside the armor.

The metal needles easily penetrated the game character’s body, but it was meaningless. This type of injury didn’t slow him down at all.

The game character’s attack continued to land on the energy shield.

The quality of this energy shield seemed to have also undergone change. The game character’s attack was momentarily stalled, but evidently, altering the mass of such energy particles is far more difficult than physical objects. Moreover, at this time, she also had to fend off Zhang Juan’s attack, so the game character only hesitated for a moment before breaking it as well.

“Boom~!”

One scene later, a golden beam cut across the sky, and the game character’s punch burst out massive ripples in the void.

Meanwhile, Holland’s figure appeared underground.

At the critical moment, she exerted her superpower on herself with full force, altering her mass to swiftly evade the attack, causing the game character and Zhang Juan’s coordination to miss.

The void twisted, Zhang Juan teleported beside the game character, and the two faced Holland, who was far below.

In Holland’s hand was a pitch-black spherical object, which piqued Lin Qianxuan’s curiosity about what it could be.

Then, Holland threw it out.

When the sphere flew towards Zhang Juan and the game character, Zhang Juan’s expression changed. She grabbed the game character and teleported instantly.

The next moment, the two appeared at the current boundary of the Holy Sanctuary.

The Holy Sanctuary had shrunk for twenty-five days, yet its size was still no smaller than an entire continent. Simply put, it was about twenty to thirty million square kilometers, a rough figure Lin Qianxuan had calculated.

At this boundary, the game character and Zhang Juan looked toward the direction where they had been battling.

The sky there turned black.

Countless soil and materials were being drawn in, and even light was twisting. This terrifying tractor force seemed to be gradually intensifying.

Previously, the void energy bomb used by Ira exploded outward, but this time, Holland’s was pulling inward.

Lin Qianxuan thought these guys truly knew how to make things lively.

Soon, that terrifying tractor force covered the area where the game character and Zhang Juan were.

The game character’s figure directly became void, ignoring a massive amount of tractor force. Meanwhile, Zhang Juan’s body also revealed an uncontrollable form, metallic insect-like wings fluttering behind her, somehow stabilizing her figure.

Several scenes later, everything gradually calmed down. The already destroyed ground in the Holy Sanctuary was once again obliterated, becoming completely empty and formless.

No wonder it takes at least a thousand years to restore the ecosystem after each Supreme Battle.

The difficulty of rebuilding after this level of combat is harder than post-disaster reconstruction.

It’s akin to starting from scratch to erect a high-rise, and there aren’t as many building materials locally available; they must be transported from elsewhere.

Just when Lin Qianxuan thought they might continue fighting, a projection digit appeared in front of the game character.

[2].

This indicated Holland had left the battle.

[Zhang Juan (looking at you): It’s finally over!]

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): Sister Juan, I’ll just exit directly now, wait for you to obtain the Supreme Crystal, heal your illness, and then we’ll properly celebrate.]

[Zhang Juan (smiling): At that time, I’ll let little Xuan know how strong his sister was in her prime!]

After a brief exchange, Lin Qianxuan didn’t hesitate further. He promptly input a command, letting the game character choose to exit the stage of the Supreme Battle.

The game character muttered the exit command, then his form was directly transmitted away from the field, appearing in the square.

By this time, many people were already waiting outside.

Though the game character didn’t win the supreme position, being the second placer was still noteworthy.

However, they were blocked by security personnel, preventing them from disturbing the game character and others.

Meanwhile, above the square, a giant projection was broadcasting the coronation ceremony of the new Supreme Being.

The former Supreme Yi Su and his assistant appeared together in the Holy Sanctuary.

In the assistant’s hand was a large tray containing three items.

Among them was a scepter representing supreme authority, a crown signifying the status of the Supreme Being, and finally, the Supreme Crystal Stone.

It was an orange-red prismatic crystal, roughly the size of an adult’s fist, with light inside that seemed to flow like a living thing, appearing exceptionally exquisite and captivating.

[Yi Su (smiling): Tell me your name, new Supreme. ]

[Zhang Juan (cautiously looking at Yi Su): Zhang Juan.]

Yi Su nodded, handing the crown and scepter to Zhang Juan, then picking up the Supreme Crystal Stone.

[Yi Su (handing the Supreme Crystal Stone to Zhang Juan): Lady Zhang Juan, I hereby recognize your status as the new Supreme. This authority is supreme and unique, representing your absolute martial power. It is neither good nor evil, not bound by morality. For the next millennium, please fully enjoy everything this power brings!]
