Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 38 - Want to Eat Coconut Buns
Evil Explosion Technique.

The destructive power of the Evil Explosion Technique far surpasses the Corpse Explosion Technique that Siming himself devised.

Twenty death energy explosions were unleashed simultaneously, instantly transforming the area dozens of meters from where the three were fighting into a raging, boiling ocean of shockwaves. Complex shockwaves, mixed with corrosive and penetrating necromantic fragments, splattered everywhere. Marked by this chain of explosions, the battle between the three officially commenced.

First came a sharp blade of energy, followed by a burst of holy light. The two simultaneous bursts of power dispelled the brief shockwave caused by Si Ming. However, even though brief, it was still a precious moment that had been won. For Si Ming, who was in Summoner Mode, it was enough time to configure everything else perfectly.

The air began to move silently.

Nearly ten-meter-tall sub-giant skeletons and several-meter-tall rock giants simultaneously joined the battle. There were three sub-giants and three rock giants. They swung their giant fists, smashing them down towards Song Tian and Jacob!
It is fast and powerful.

Yu Zhiwei, watching from afar, had a look of amazement in her eyes, while Valentina subconsciously placed her hand on the exquisite hilt of Willow Leaf White Garden's sword.

And the next moment——

A flash of light!
One of the sub-giants was split in two, its shell cracking in both directions. The three rock giants, unaffected by the positive energy, merely slammed their fists into the tough protective light barrier.

"In the name of Tyr, banish creation!"

Jacob's voice boomed, and cracks immediately appeared on the rock giant's body. Meanwhile, Song Tian, ​​wielding the Snow Drinking Blade, had already closed the distance to within three meters of Si Ming as he charged forward at high speed!

The blade is sharp, and the flash is swift.

At that very instant, Yu Zhiwei, standing in the spectator stands, suddenly took a step forward, raising her hand and scepter.

"Expand!"

Her voice accompanied the sudden deployment of a protective shield before her. That shield, which included Valentina, was immediately engulfed by an even larger shockwave. The stone giants and sub-giant skeletons were massive weapons created from necromantic energy. And naturally, they could also be detonated as high-yield bombs using the technique of 'Fel Explosion'.

The five combined into one, forming a massive mushroom cloud beneath which flames blazed. Undoubtedly, this was a force capable of destroying a cluster of skyscrapers in an instant. The two individuals directly impacted would naturally suffer the most severe damage from this attack.

The shockwave transformed into a gray-white tide rushing into the distance.

The next moment, a disheveled figure was thrown out of the shockwave like a cannonball, and while in the air, large swathes of light particles continued to explode around him.

It is Jacob.

He appeared to be unharmed, but overall he looked extremely disheveled.

Yet, a fierce, sacred light still shone in his eyes.

"In Tyr's name, necromancy is forbidden here!"

Similar to the power of words, it might simply be an anti-evil magic array. The radiance in his eyes dimmed abruptly along with his words. And a vast and invisible suppressive force suddenly generated from the top of the area of ​​chained evil explosions, then pressed down to the very bottom!
The magical effects of the evil explosion were completely suppressed at this moment. Song Tian, ​​who was at the center of the explosion, was now clearly visible—uninjured, his five-colored true energy shield having withstood most of the force of the evil explosion. However, four figures draped in black robes stood guard directly in front of his target, using an invisible force to freeze him on the battlefield.

It is telekinesis.

While lacking the precision and lethality of Yu Zhiwei, their superior telekinetic power surpassed Song Tian's. It resisted and neutralized Song Tian's powerful strike. And in a maximum of two more seconds, it would be able to subdue him.

"Necromantic magic can achieve this level... Is this even human?"

From the stands, Valentina murmured to herself. She had teammates in the Forest Continent who practiced necromancy, and she knew that awakened corpses couldn't use their pre-natal powers. Unless a vast amount of resources were spent to upgrade a low-level undead to a high-level undead, even then, the upgraded high-level undead wouldn't be as strong as a living being of the same level!

Where did he get so many resources to cultivate so many high-level undead... No! Where did he get the mental power and necromantic energy to control so many high-level undead? Under normal circumstances, a summoner of the same level, facing a powerful melee fighter and a class that counters them at close range, could at most survive for two seconds!
two seconds.

Jacob bought Song Tian those two seconds by temporarily losing his fighting ability.

The next moment, the four black-robed figures suddenly weakened. And Song Tian, ​​no longer suppressed by telekinesis, charged forward with a low roar!

There's only one chance. The knife can only be swung once.

In Song Tian's eyes, there was no longer anything except Si Ming. His spirit and energy surged and merged with the Snow Drink in his hand. And a powerful and violent five-colored sword light suddenly appeared.

The Great Five Elements Divine Blade, with ten layers of power.

The moment he swung his sword, Song Tian almost forgot that this was just a team activity-like sparring match, and instead treated it as a battlefield where life and death hung in the balance.

Then--

'clang--!'

Metal and iron collide.

It wasn't the Greatsword of Sin, but a massive, thick, silver-gray wall—a steel giant, several meters tall, resembling a small mountain. Song Tian's full-force strike only managed to carve a meter-deep wound into the giant's lowered hand. Even though the exploding blade energy instantly sliced ​​seventeen or eighteen horrific, fatal wounds into the steel giant, it was still merely fatal, not a true elimination of its target.

"He... couldn't even hold out for a second?" Jacob frowned, then released his grip. He did have some strength left, but in the end, he could only manage a self-deprecating smile.

As another pre-prepared steel giant was summoned from the summoning space by Si Ming, Song Tian, ​​who had still retained some fighting spirit, lowered his sword. "Not continuing?" Si Ming asked him through the severed steel hand. "You haven't unlocked the second stage of your genetic lock yet, you clearly still have some strength left."

"You don't have any either." But Song Tian had already sheathed his knife.

"I've already lost because I couldn't force you to use your melee abilities. And this steel giant you summoned, I originally thought I could cut through it."

He can indeed cut through.

But as he swung his blade, what blocked the giant's hand wasn't just its reinforced metal material. There was also the additional reinforcement from the Night Battle Qi that Si Ming had infused into it.

The effect is excellent.

Si Ming shrugged. This certainly didn't count as using close-combat power.

He didn't move an inch from his spot, nor did he swing the Greatsword of Sin. He hadn't even summoned Byakki, nor activated his genetic lock, to overwhelm his target with a horde of monsters.

Yu Zhiwei's intuition was indeed correct—he did possess the ability to take on four opponents at once, and as long as these four casual acquaintances didn't coordinate closely from the start, his chances of winning were extremely high. This was undoubtedly the result of the foresight of someone with a preemptive advantage, having planned ahead. After all, before setting off, he had assumed that the Celestial Team would have at least two Tier 3 individuals.

— That's being overly cautious.

With a thought, the summoned creatures surrounding him all returned to their private space. He then nodded to the few people who were healing and recovering, naturally pretending that the topic about the Celestial Captain had never been mentioned in the first place.

Anyway, even if you can fight, you still can't get to eat coconut buns.

"A good start." But Si Ming still managed to gain some prestige for giving a speech at this time. "It seems we have a certain understanding of each other. So some basic issues have been resolved. And now, there are still at least six days before we know the contents of the next terrifying world. Although I have no intention of interfering with your actions in your private time, I still think we should meet every now and then."

He raised his hand, and the pillar of light from the supreme deity immediately descended. Directly beneath the sphere of light, a circular conference table instantly took shape. And in the very center of the ring, there was a large wall clock displaying the time.

“Every day at noon, I will stay here for a while. If you are interested, you can come and get together at that time. We can have some tea, chat, and perhaps when the time is right, we can go back to the world we have experienced in the past and go on an adventure together.”

No one objected.

Only Valentina frowned slightly.

"...It's alright, going back to the old world? Is that how it is...? I was wondering why Rost and the others' combat power increased so quickly..."

She looked up. Then she found everyone else looking at her with concern, even pity. Especially Yu Zhiwei, whose overly gentle gaze made her angrier than ever before.

"Hmph!" She abruptly turned her head and walked away.

“What a lovely lady.” Jacob shrugged, smiled, gave a slight bow to the others, and returned to his own private space.

"Let's play again in a while." Song Tian nodded to Si Ming. "I'll come to the midday gathering."

He left too.

So now, only Si Ming and Yu Zhiwei, whose eyes have been repaired at some point, remain in the square.

Si Ming walked to her side.

"You've really given me a lot of trouble, fellow countryman. I almost fell for your trick."

Yu Zhiwei raised her hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Could you call her Zhiwei? Or at least Miss Yu?"

She doesn't deny other things, which is commendable.

"It'll definitely hurt a lot, you might die." Si Ming checked the time. If he went back now, he could still play around with Eve for a while. Or, he could go even further and study and master the enhancement power in his hands.

"I do have some experience in enduring pain," Yu Zhiwei tilted her head slightly and winked playfully.

So Si Ming punched her in the stomach.

A burst of fighting spirit erupted, even employing techniques of evil explosion. Yu Zhiwei's body was directly cleaved into three pieces, her two broken legs remaining in place. Her upper body, however, flew hundreds of meters into the distance amidst a sudden explosion of blood mist, before rolling and coming to a stop after a series of falls, motionless, appearing as if she were dead.

However, the main god did not issue a notice.

So Si Ming glanced at her, who was a few hundred meters away.

"If you try to be clever like that again, I'll hit you on the head."

"Miss Yu."
