Chapter Thirty-Six: Under the Shadows

"What is it?!"

"What's going on?"

"This Dark ......"

At the moment when the shadows surged out from the gaps in the void and all the powerhouses present were shrouded, the legendary powerhouses were also shocked to find that the battlefield they had originally fought had been completely shrouded in fog and had become a dark space with a strong and oppressive atmosphere, which was extremely calm and incompatible with the surrounding rippling space-time ripples.

Fog? Shade? Dark?

How can it be!

Almost all the legendary powerhouses who have a little understanding of the void can't help but be stunned for a moment, as we all know, the void is the void outside the world, except for the space-time turbulence formed by the space-time fluctuations that the world itself overflows, there is almost nothing, what space-time storm and other terrifying void disasters are nothing more than the space-time fluctuations of the riot.

Mist...... In this kind of terrifying void where even a steel battleship would be torn apart in an instant without rune protection, how could there be such a calm mist?

But now is not the time to think about this, the shadows that have sprung up from the gaps in the void have enveloped all the strong people, and then, as the shadows become thicker and thicker, and the darkness becomes more and more substantial, the entire Chronos world, the surrounding area of the Chronos world, which has been stirred up by many legendary powerhouses, has been swallowed into a huge, ball-like darkness, it is rapidly forming, as if it is about to turn into a huge egg, a huge cocoon.

But even if they don't know what this is all about, no one will let this dark plan go ahead.

In the battle in the past few days, although no legendary-level existence has been fatally damaged, even if it is the Leviathan, the void giant beast that looks the most miserable and has been injured the most, when converted into a human being, it is nothing more than a level with a blue nose and swollen face, but the battle requires energy in the final analysis, and the continuous high-intensity combat for many days has indeed depleted their spirits, plus they are immersed in the battle with the other party, and they are suddenly attacked, and the power of the dark mist is maximized, That's why all the strong people were imprisoned all at once.

But when the crowd reacts, they will never allow this shadow to imprison them!

"What the hell."

In the darkness and mist, Joshua looked around at the darkness that was approaching him, and the warrior couldn't help but frown, as if he saw something dirty.

He clasped his hands in front of his chest and didn't make a move, but behind him there was a phantom of a four-armed giant god, hundreds of meters high steel power phantom silently raised his iron fist, and then in an instant, tens of thousands of straight punches with bursting fist wind blasted around, and suddenly, the darkness that originally shrouded the world and the void, calm as stagnant water, suddenly began to shake violently, as if it was bombarded by a never-ending tsunami wave.

With Joshua's current strength, there are not many things in this world that can imprison him, any material that has not reached the super-dense and degenerate material level is useless in front of his eyes, and the legendary-level sealing circle can easily be directly shattered by him if it does not have a lot of fancy tricks...... Neither time nor space can bind it to one world, let alone anything else?

But strangely, even though the sea of fog was bombarded by Joshua's violent fluctuations, as if it was about to completely collapse in the next moment, it was still not really defeated, and even on the contrary, after withstanding Joshua's one-sided onslaught, this black mist seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly began to multiply rapidly—the surrounding void suddenly appeared twice and triple-double the fog before, and it was once again approaching the warrior!

Are physical attacks ineffective? Or does it have the ability to absorb energy and multiply itself?

For the legendary powerhouses, there is actually no guesswork in battle, with their strength and observation ability, any kind of attack will be completely seen through as long as it appears once, and in their world, the 'unknown attack' is almost completely non-existent, no matter how delicate and ingenious the skill, even if they can't do it themselves, they can always understand it all.

At this time, it was the moment of battle, Joshua's brain was running at an unprecedented speed, collecting all the information around him for analysis, his pupils turned into a silver steel luster, sweeping the surrounding void, and suddenly the microstructure of the black mist, energy concentration, proliferation speed and the impact on the surrounding void were all known.

Large-scale polymerization of black particles at the molecular level...... It seems to be a fog, but in fact it is linked as a whole by electromagnetic force.

In an instant, Joshua was already aware of the enemy's existence—it was not so much a mist as a net, a vast net that filtered through the void and the world, so dense that ordinary humans could not imagine! And what it catches is not any specific prey, but the ubiquitous 'energy' in this world!

It's the darkness that devours the light, the giant net that captures the energy!

Heat and kinetic energy are also a type of energy, so Joshua's punches have an effect at first, but after the initial destructive power has passed, that power will also be captured by them and turned into food for its own growth...... In the entire void, the dense energy due to the Great Demon Tide is rapidly dissipating, and the world of Kronos, which is also shrouded by it, has become cold because of the gradual disappearance of energy, and after a while, maybe the whole world will be frozen because of this, and finally become a cold and dead world like the seventh abyss!

Although this black mist has been seen through by Joshua, its action will not be slowed down by this, with the surging tide of the sea of fog, the light in the void is dimmed again - the light of the stars that has been re-lit by the great demon tide is essentially produced by the excessive energy overflowing in the void, and the black mist is hunting and eating these energies at this time, Joshua can sense the shocked mental fluctuations from the black dragon king Keano in the distance, and it seems that its negative energy is no exception, and it is being swallowed up by this silent darkness.

Many of the legendary powerhouses present, including demons, dragon kings, void beasts, and the golden fleet, all attacked in unison the moment they were swallowed, as if they wanted to break the darkness, but this action did not have much effect, just like Joshua's previous straight punch, but caused the enemy to start to multiply.

And after receiving so many attacks, the sea of fog in the void also began to wriggle rapidly, and it seemed to want to start fighting back and digest these prey in its body.

Suddenly, inside the darkness, the shadows were condensing, and the endless black particles began to run rapidly under the violent thunder magic power fluctuations, that is, the huge electromagnetic force, and they condensed into millions of raindrops in an instant, and the whole body was pitch black, as if it could devour the light of the black needles, and then it was launched towards all the legendary powerhouses in its body!

There was no resistance in the void, and the needles reached their maximum speed in an instant, and they were like a torrential rain coming from all directions, piercing all targets. Black Mist has encountered many powerful enemies in the past, but it is impossible for any one of them to be unscathed by its attacks.

But this time, I'm afraid it's an exception.

Joshua didn't know how the others would respond, anyway, for him, this counterattack of the black mist was a bit disappointing, in the face of the endless black spikes that attacked from the top, bottom, left, right, front and back at the same time, attacking at one-twentieth of the speed of light, the warrior's phantom once again appeared - but it was very different from before, the phantom of the giant god began to shrink rapidly the moment it appeared, and finally turned into a size about the same size as Joshua himself, and it even finally fused with the warrior's body, leaving only four arms.

I could hear the sound of the huge mass being extremely compressed, and I could see that the surrounding space-time ripples began to concave around Joshua, and on the shoulders of the warriors, two pairs of silver, metal-like strong arms had been condensed, and six fists, including Joshua's body, were slowly clenched, causing the surrounding void to ripple like a tsunami.

And the next moment, it's a swing.

When the black spikes came at a rapid speed, Joshua stepped on the void with his face expressionless, and his six arms, which covered the front and back, left and right, up and down, had already brought up and exploded space-time ripples, intercepting all incoming attacks!

The black needles, measured in tens of thousands, struck at a speed of tens of millions of meters per second like a torrential rain, and Joshua's chosen response was to break every raindrop.

With Joshua as the center, time seemed to stand still, and he could only see countless black mist like ink rapidly dissipating, and in the hearts of the warriors around him who had closed his eyes and sensed them with pure energy induction, the black spikes that attacked almost at the same time actually had a sequence, and what he did was just without any fancy, simply pointing out one finger after another, and crushing all the spikes in order, and breaking them into black mist.

Bang Bang

- Is that all?

Sensing the condensed black mist around him, it seemed that he was shocked by his own coping methods, and suspended the action of condensing spikes, Joshua reopened his eyes and scanned his surroundings. And at this moment, as if something had gone wrong in the warrior's response, a black spike actually crossed Joshua's interception and slammed into his body fiercely!

But without any accidents, this black spike also collapsed into a black mist in an instant...... Joshua's physical strength was no different from his arms, they were all extremely condensed degenerate substances, and crashing into the warrior's body was no different from being intercepted by him.

But because of this, Joshua nodded suddenly in realization: "So that's the case, I didn't expect it to be this kind of attack." ”

After deliberately letting go of a black spike and letting it attack on his body, Joshua finally felt the true power of this black spike - this seemingly tiny, but in fact completely condensed by electromagnetic force, has a density that surpasses most of the matter, and the weak current lingering around it can even cause the disintegration of matter at the molecular level! Combined with the energy absorption effect of the black mist itself, in this way, ordinary energy shields and substances seem to have no effect on the spikes.

The most important thing is that if you are careless and are pierced into your body by this black needle, even a legendary powerhouse will be cut off by the warrior The energy circulation in your body will be cut off, causing a chain reaction and being injured...... A simple and powerful attack, but unfortunately it has no effect on itself.

Joshua shook his head, after his body reached twenty-seven percent of the assimilation of the power of steel, the entire surface of his body was already a degenerate substance, even if a hair was taken out, it was enough to pierce everything, if it wasn't for the old Pope's rogue ability to control the speed of light, there was almost nothing in this world that could hurt him, whether it was material collapse or energy absorption, it was meaningless to a warrior.

Speaking of which, this condensation of electromagnetic force ...... How does it feel like the power of that ancient dragon? ”

"What does this mist have to do with that ancient dragon who has the power of thunder?"

The surrounding sea of fog was surging violently, and it seemed that other legendary powerhouses were dealing with the spiked siege like a rainstorm, but the darkness around Joshua temporarily stopped moving, as if he was shocked by the warrior's unbelievable coping methods and physical fitness, but Joshua didn't care so much, but instead cared about the power of the black mist.

"It's not surprising, though, that the power of the ancient dragon was learned by others and then used against itself, which makes sense."

The power of the ancient dragon, in some cases, can be regarded as a natural phenomenon, and it makes sense for intelligent beings to draw knowledge from natural phenomena, arm themselves, and then turn around to deal with natural phenomena.

On the other side, it seemed to know that the previous attack was useless against Joshua, so after pausing for a few seconds, the Dark Fog Sea began to surge violently, which was completely different from the appearance of dealing with other legendary powerhouses. The darkness that has fought countless powerful enemies is not without encountering enemies that are almost indestructible like warriors, so they know what kind of attack they should use.

In the center of the dark mist, dark purple lightning spread through the shadows, causing endless black particles to begin to condense through the flickering thunder, forming an extremely condensed core, beginning to accumulate energy and mass that made the Void tremble!

But it's not the only one that attacks, and everyone else is beaten passively.

Just as the dark mist began to condense its core, on the other side of the mist, Joshua stepped into the void, and a hot light radiated from his body, causing the crimson lines of a circuit board to appear on his body. The warrior took a deep breath, and suddenly in the surrounding void, the energy that was constantly condensing towards the dark core was actually pulled by a huge suction force and poured into his mouth. Joshua, who had entered a full combat form, clenched his six fists, his pupils flashing with silver steel power.

Joshua could clearly feel that in the center of the darkness that devoured all energy, some incredible change was taking place - a vacuum was emerging, not the vacuum of the universe and the void where there was no visible matter to the naked eye, but a real absolute vacuum! The reason why the complete opposite of energy condensation and vacuum occur at the same time is precisely because all the energy in that space is extracted by the darkness and then compressed into the dark core!

Extreme cohesion and absolute vacuum! Such an extreme situation appeared in front of Joshua's eyes, and under the constraints of the astonishing electromagnetic force, the dark core was transforming itself into a black aggregate with a density exceeding the super-dense substance on the surface of Joshua's body, and the scope of the vacuum was further expanded due to the increase in the density of the black core!

The warrior saw through the black mist in an instant, and it planned to use the black spikes to directly break its balance at the moment when the dark core was formed, releasing a terrifying mass tide that was enough to destroy everything - the first explosion was a rapidly expanding vacuum that sucked everything around, and the second explosion was the disintegration of the material core, causing a large-scale collapse of material energy! It's powerful enough to destroy everything, turning everything that swept through it into a sea of pure thermions!

Vacuum implosion!

"Micro Artificial Mass Points...... If you can't plunder energy, you can't destroy matter? ”

In the face of the enemy's rapidly condensed material energy, Joshua, who still maintained his human form, stretched out his arm, his expression was calm, and the silver light condensed in the palm of his hand, accompanied by the surging power of steel, the silver-white steel flowed and formed in the palm of the warrior, and finally turned into a cold metal spear, and the space shook with the sharp tip of the spear, producing bursts of ripples. Joshua weighed it, feeling still a little dissatisfied, so the red flames fused into the tip of the spear, causing the space around the tip of the spear to release a blazing light distorted by the spatial depression.

This spear was not a simple spear, but a projection of the power of steel, a condensation of a degenerate substance with a mass of hundreds of thousands of tons, and the weight of a hill was compressed into a man-high spear, with the heat of Joshua's heating to millions of degrees...... This is the simplest, most direct, and most brutal force of the material world.

"To be honest, I really don't understand how dare to sneak attack eight Legendary-level beings at the same time and imprison them in their bodies...... Who are you looking down on, you darkness? Not even God would be so arrogant! ”

Holding the spear in his hand, Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly, he peered through the meaningless sight barrier of the black sea of fog, and saw the rapidly forming dark core true body, which condensed quickly, but the warrior was faster. The steel spear in his hand had been heated to a golden red like the sun by the heat of nuclear fusion, and the burst energy overflowed into lightning plasma, spreading towards the surrounding void, and the attack that destroyed everything was already taking shape in the palm of the warrior's hand.

So, he raised his spear and aimed it at the center of the shadow mist.

"Feel the light of the sun, unknown darkness."

With the incomparably powerful mass projection distorting space, only a golden arc of light could be seen breaking through the shadows, and the steel spear that was accelerated to an incredible point by Joshua's power pierced through the darkness, first the dark fog for a moment, and hit the dark core.

There is no sound in the world of vacuum.

But, the next moment.

A violent surge of light pierced the darkness and illuminated the world of Chronos beneath it.
