He Ao lifted his head, his gaze piercing through the multitude of invisible wands, focusing on the sky above Di Man.

There, the void was torn apart, yet it was empty, as if there was nothing.

But He Ao could feel that the slender hand still lingered there, suspended high in the sky, resonating with twisted madness.

The ‘Usurper God’ ability allows He Ao to temporarily gain the High Positional Grade from the War God.

This might be the reason why he was able to momentarily glimpse the outline of that hand when he first made contact.

Most of the time, that hand is invisible, unseen, as if it truly does not exist.

This wasn’t the first time He Ao encountered the power of the Divine Being, but this time, the power seemed a bit peculiar.

And as he focused on the spot where the hand should be, He Ao’s movements did not pause.

A brilliant red light suddenly enveloped his body, rapidly expanding and in an instant, transforming into a massive Crimson Giant.

Boom——

This giant raised its hand, seemingly propping up the sky itself, holding up the dense mass of hands pressing down like the sky.

“Ah!!!!”

Then, in the next moment, the giant withstood the gathered hands, abruptly exerting force upward, rapidly lifting the entire invisible mass of hands, and with a sudden pull, tore the entire ‘hand sky’ asunder.

“Flame!”

The giant raised its hand, and surging magma flowed between the tall buildings and streets below, quickly building a surging small volcano.

Dazzling flames erupted from the volcano’s crater, pulling up a huge vertical wave of fire.

And the giant stepped forward directly, reaching out, its fingers passing through the vertical wave of fire, drawing out a blazing Flame Sword.

Then, the giant’s body surged forward, leaping into the sky to cleave Di Man standing there.

However, Di Man merely lifted his head to watch everything, making no response or move.

The blazing, fiery blade, like an erupting volcano, folded the very fabric of space, striking directly at the top of Di Man’s head.

Boom——

As if hitting some invisible barrier, the Flame Sword halted completely at the top of Di Man’s head, unable to touch or shake his body one bit.

Crack——

Accompanied by a crisp sound, fine cracks spread across the Flame Sword.

In the next moment, as if struck by a great force, the Flame Sword shattered explosively, and the Crimson Giant’s body was suddenly flipped backward, toppling over.

Fine cracks spread from the sword body to the giant’s body.

With a crashing sound like porcelain falling to the ground, the Crimson Giant’s body also shattered abruptly, transforming into a cascade of drifting lights.

“I told you, under absolute power, you have no room for resistance,” Di Man looked down at He Ao’s body falling from the sky, “All your wisdom and strategy are merely illusions you’ve created, you can’t even harm me.”

As he spoke, the ‘nothingness’ above his head trembled slightly.

Some kind of invisible ripple spread from all around, like outstretched invisible hands, grasping at He Ao.

The pupils of He Ao’s eyes were already tinged with blood, fine cracks appeared beneath his skin after that brief ‘rebound’, shattering not only his giant body but also injuring his body and internal organs.

In that blinding moment, he once again saw that the invisible slender hand blocking him was still above Di Man’s head, unable to be observed normally.

And at this moment, Di Man finally extended that powerful force outward, to deal with him.

He couldn’t see the things enclosing him, but he could feel they were powers akin to the invisible hand.

He lowered his head to glance at his palm, the intertwined red and purple glow had completely stopped, with a dense red light now completely enveloping the glow in his palm.

This was his first time using the High Position state granted by the ‘Usurper God’ ability to control the War God’s Grace.

The positional grade brought by the ‘Usurper God’ ability always carries a hint of illusion, incomplete and somewhat unstable.

Before becoming an Angel, this position at most increased his affinity with War God Power, allowing him to borrow from the High Position to perform some of the abilities of a Higher Being, but these were not strong, just minor auxiliary means.

After becoming a Higher Being himself, this illusory positional grade seemed to gain some kind of actual ‘foundation’, generating some unforeseen changes.

Within this combination, the positional grade brought by this ability seemed to possess some traits of the War God Position, becoming essentially a fragmented War God Position.

And the dense glow in his hand also extended rapidly with his thoughts, transforming into a slender dagger.

The main body of the sword was constructed from crimson light like crystal, with dense purple light carrying a few yellow specks attached to the blade, outlining some kind of invisible pattern, this pattern being like extendable tentacles or invisible lizards.

This weapon was crafted with the Transcendent Power of Dark Lizard as the core, combined with the War God’s Grace, and complemented by the ‘Usurper God’ position.

This is the ‘War God’s Authority’.

Since just now, he had been exploring how to fuse these powers, only now beginning to vaguely grasp the threshold.

‘Usurper God’

He Ao chewed over this term in his heart.

He lifted his head, looking at the invisible force almost touching the front of him.

These forces controlled by Di Man seemed to also belong to some ‘Divine Being’.

He held the crystal dagger in his hand, stepped forward, and without hesitation, sliced through the firmament.

The diffusing brilliance tore through the sky, clashing head-on with those illusory invisible forces.

At the instant when the crystal dagger clashed with these invisible forces, He Ao’s gaze seemed to penetrate to the bottommost layer of the world, seeing some kind of vague outline.

This too was a slender hand, only much weaker than the hand in the sky.

Surging brilliance emanated from the crystal sword, then in an instant, slicing through the invisible ‘hand’ before him like a box cutter through paper.

Standing in the sky, Di Man watched this scene, slightly stunned.

And just as he was momentarily dazed, He Ao’s body had already rapidly penetrated the sky, shattering one invisible hand after another blocking him, appearing before him.

So fast!

Di Man lifted his head, gazing at He Ao before him, the surrounding invisible forces quickly returning to above his head.

The illusory slender hand once again appeared in front of He Ao.

Heavy strike!

The crimson crystal sword collided with the slender hand.

There was no sound, nor any tremor.

As if a sharp sword light had sliced through water, seemingly touching nothing at all.

Crack——

Yet at that moment, fine cracks surfaced across the space, like thin ice floating on water, shattered by the convergence of sword and water.

The distance the crystal sword cut through the sky already exceeded that of the previous Flame Sword.

This time, the sharp sword edge nearly hovered above Di Man’s forehead.

Boom——

But ultimately, the attack still failed to land.

With a loud crash, He Ao’s body was suddenly blasted away, crashing into a nearby building, shattering dozens of skyscrapers before stopping, embedded in the wall of the last high-rise.

“Tricks of the trade.”

Di Man lowered his head, gazing at He Ao in the distance.

He lowered his head to glance at his own body.

Without knowing when, he subconsciously took half a step back.

He retracted his backward step, straightened his body, and gazed at He Ao.

“You’re interesting, kid,” his gaze dropped to the red crystal sword in He Ao’s hand, “Your god is also interesting; It actually allows you to wield such power. I admit, you already have the chance to hurt me.”

He gently raised his hand, and the intangible power above his head gradually gathered. He chuckled softly, “But unfortunately, your power has just begun.”

The twisted yellow brilliance gathered in front of him, then quickly returned to nothingness.

He Ao gazed at Di Man in the distance, pulling his body away from the embedded wall, frowning slightly.

He didn’t feel any intangible force rushing towards him, as if everything Di Man just did was futile.

But at that instant, He Ao suddenly froze.

He vaguely felt that some kind of ripple was emerging at the base of the entire world, brushing past his body.

It seemed that there was some kind of different change in this world, but for a moment, He Ao couldn’t tell what had changed.

In that instant, he immediately gathered his power and High Positional Grade, beginning to sweep through his soul and consciousness.

Everything was as usual.

Everything as usual?

No, it shouldn’t be.

He Ao focused his gaze, looking at the text in his field of view.

This thing is···

No, my memory.

Not memory, memory is good, memory is intact.

It’s cognition.

Who am I?

Am I He Ao? Am I Paxiu?

I should be He Ao?!

As these thoughts spread, He Ao felt as though his soul was being torn by some force, repelled, a rejection coming from his body.

For the first time, his body and soul showed signs of incompatibility.

Twisted fleshy buds appeared under his broken body.

This fierce rejection began to make his body tend to distort.

No, I am Paxiu!

He Ao immediately tried to change his self-cognition.

And at that moment, some terrifying power surged from his body, flattening the building behind him in an instant.

The madness and loss of control in his soul, at that moment, seemed to lose suppression, beginning to expand violently, and in a blink of an eye, it would tear his body apart and gain ‘freedom’.

No, it cannot go on like this.

Cognitive anchoring cannot be done, anchoring on any one is wrong.

Countless thoughts flashed through He Ao’s mind; he tried to recall memories about He Ao and Paxiu, only to find those things becoming blank in an instant.

The power of Super Memory told him his memories were still there, but he was gradually ‘losing connection’ with them.

He calmed his mind, feeling those memories that were gradually concealed, gradually becoming ‘faint’.

If this continues, it will take just a few blinks of the eye before he completely loses control.

Fate, fate.

The remaining reason urged him to forcibly activate the power of Super Memory.

A dense array of lines appeared in his field of view.

These were the tangled fate lines attached to him, but he couldn’t understand what these lines corresponded with. It seemed he had already lost the ability to perceive these lines.

Soon, he might even become unable to ‘see’ these lines.

The intuition from ‘Super Memory’ told him that once he completely lost cognition of these lines, their rupture wouldn’t be far off.

He Ao didn’t know what effects the rupture of these fate lines would have.

‘The Forgotten Wheel of Stars’

A term suddenly emerged in his mind.

He didn’t know what the term meant, but he vaguely realized it was a reminder from his spiritual intuition.

A faint red-purple glow flickered across his body, and he gripped the crystal sword in his hand.

He cannot fixate on identity cognition; doing so would mean death.

He cannot forget, cannot let go.

He needs an anchor, an anchor to interfere with reality, drawing all power and High Positional Grade to this anchor, using it to hold himself, avoiding complete concealment.

In the distance, Di Man withdrew his gaze from He Ao and looked up at the sky.

The intangible force above his head trembled, as though appearing in some uncontrollable agitation, but it was quickly forcibly suppressed.

The reflection of a bustling city in the sky shimmered, and the enormous Stars Pharma Building hung upside down at the top of the firmament.

At his feet, the grand city experienced slight tremors and shakes.

It seemed some kind of tear appeared in the foundation that constituted the city.

It seems soon.

When that guy completely loses control, this city should also collapse.

Wait——

Di Man seemed to sense something, suddenly turning around.

Buzz——

And at that moment, the sharp sound of a sword suddenly echoed beneath the gray sky.

The intangible force in the sky gathered once more, blocking towards Di Man’s side.

But this time, his action was a step slower.

The vast power, without pause, followed the red crystal sword, slicing through the not-yet-gathered slender hand, reaching in front of Di Man.

Di Man immediately withdrew.

But the sword light’s speed was much faster than his.

The sharp red glow sliced through the space and also through his clothes, leaving a giant scar that spanned across his entire chest.

If he had been a moment slower, the sword light would have divided his body in half directly.

“How could this be.”

Di Man raised his head, gazing at the figure before him.

The face of that figure was devoid of any expression, and his entire pupils were filled with red-purple glow.

He simply gazed quietly at Di Man in front of him, lifting the crystal sword in his hand.

He couldn’t remember exactly who he was, but it didn’t matter.

Right now, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was,

Kill him.

This was the ‘consensus’.
