Chapter 3009 Fusing
Leonel took a breath only to find that he didn't have the lungs to breathe with. Aches and pain wracked his body, as though despite the fact he hadn't taken many injuries during his battle with Evergreen, his body was still reminding him that he was way out of his league.
He took another breath and hacked up blood, but the coldness in his eyes didn't fade. He never lost his focus for even a moment and he had already taken out several lumps of Celestial Terra meat.
The two Gods, Zoltene and another that Leonel didn't recognize, surged forward. This second God was none other than Solaraan, but whatever his name was didn't matter much to Leonel. It made no difference at all.
No matter who stood before him, he would cut them down. That was the promise he had made to himself.
It didn't matter how much his body broke down. It didn't matter what the odds were. It didn't matter that they were existences that had ruled over lands and even time itself for countless years.
None of it mattered.
The halos around Leonel's wrists trembled and his Spear Force surged.
These very same Gods who so many feared were doing their best to ensure that he couldn't heal himself. They were going out of their way to stop him.
They had felt what fear was, but they hadn't let it settle in yet. They still dared to raise their blades, they still dared to attack him, they still dared to insult the dignity of a King.
[Life Steal].
BANG!
Leonel's Spear Force broke into the Middle Creation State and his aura thrummed. Scarlet Star Force thrummed in his kidneys and rampaged throughout his body, fusing with the Universal Force within him to create something new.
Universal Force had always been something that couldn't be incorporated into the body, but when it came to fusing with Forces, it did so with absolute ease. There wasn't a Force in existence that it wasn't compatible with, and now that it was in Leonel's body, it was being forced to follow the path of Leonel's Forces as well.
There was a hand that carried the essence of shadows, hidden and discreet, impossible to track and even more difficult to spot.
The last hand was completely and utterly normal. It could have come from a Nomad, or a Human, or a Cloud Race member. It looked so completely and utterly normal, and yet it also seemed to carry the most mysteries.
When these two sets of four palms appeared, Leonel didn't seem to have anywhere to escape to. There was only death awaiting him.
But then his Spear Dance descended.
The lotuses of Evergreen seemed to have been co-opted, beginning to follow a law that was much higher than their own. Who cared about the cycle of nature when the cycle of creation was right before them all?
The lotuses rotated out of instinct and shredded the attacks of Zoltene and Solaraan apart.
Leonel gasped for breath, but he had already taken another step forward. Blood dripped from him in waves, and the only part of him that didn't seem injured were those eyes.
Deep and unfathomable, unwavering and unmoved in their conviction.
He moved against the Gods with the confidence of a man who stood above the world.
His Mana Core tree rippled behind him, reflecting with his halo, and the Life Tablet shone with a bright light.
BOOM!
Leonel's spear descended and the world seemed to fall into a whirlwind of chaos. There was nowhere to escape to.
It was like even with all these Gods here, Leonel alone controlled life and death.
SHUUUU!
The eight palms in the skies hurriedly overlaid one another, and it was at that moment that down below, Evergreen's split head finished fusing.
