Chapter 186: How Could a Human Possess Such Power?
"This is... the power of 'Destruction'? Not good. The current Phantylia has likely already largely mastered the power of the Ambrosial Arbor, and can even easily mix the two powers to use them together... She is now even more dangerous than before."
Seeing this scene, Jing Yuan, who had been closely watching Phantylia, couldn't relax at all—no matter how foolish he was, he wouldn't really think Phantylia had simply changed her body's color out of anger. This was clearly a manifestation of two powers tending to merge.
And precisely because the fusion of the two was still incomplete, this special change manifested on the surface... Yet even so, it was more than enough for Phantylia to exert a strength where one plus one is greater than two.
"The current situation is critical, Kevin. We must unite to gain even a sliver of initiative in this battle." Jing Yuan turned his head to look at Kevin below, his tone extremely grave.
Strictly speaking, he was indeed the 'Hunt' General corresponding to Phantylia, the 'Destruction' Emanator. But if borrowing a deity's power were truly that easy, wouldn't everything in this universe have already descended into chaos?
Even if the Aeon were truly willing to lend him power, to wield that force, he would need a correspondingly powerful body and will... How could that be an easy task?
Perhaps, setting aside all external factors, Jing Yuan's true strength was indeed comparable to Phantylia's—but the current Phantylia had already absorbed the power of the Ambrosial Arbor. That was a true divine relic left behind by 'Abundance'. No matter how formidable Jing Yuan was, he couldn't easily bridge that gap.
If mortals wish to shake the power of deities, they must pay a sufficient price. Just like the Xianzhou back then—they weren't without methods to eradicate the Ambrosial Arbor completely. Didn't they still need to borrow the power of the Vidyadhara ancestral land to successfully seal the already greatly weakened roots of the Ambrosial Arbor within?
The reason deities are called deities, and mortals are called mortals, is because the gap between their powers is like that between a grain of sand in a desert and a star in the universe—there is simply no comparison.
Even just the remnants left by the 'Abundance' deity thousands of years ago represent a peak that mortals can never hope to reach.
Against Phantylia, who has mastered the power of the Ambrosial Arbor—even if it's still a very crude application—it is already completely beyond what a single person can contend with.
One could even say that the vast majority of civilizations would face utter annihilation under such power.
In such circumstances, most people would undoubtedly not refuse Jing Yuan's proposal for an alliance. Yet Kevin merely glanced at this Xianzhou General and then shook his head without hesitation.
"No, that's not right..."
"Rather than calling it a struggle, I am more inclined to let this arrogant Lord Ravager witness for herself—what kind of power a civilization she calls overreaching and insignificant as ants can unleash in the desperate straits of 'Destruction'."
There is no need to question the correctness of these words... Because for Kevin, who carries the hopes and embodies the combined strength of all those people, he himself is proof that civilization existed. He is the crystal born from gathering the entire civilization's power.
In this unfamiliar universe, there is no need for anyone to know about this past, nor does Kevin have any reason to tell anyone about that once-existing civilization...
But that doesn't prevent him from proving to this arrogant and conceited being, who views the miracles of civilization as mere trash, what everything she described truly represents.
Just like how Welt, not long ago, upon hearing words that completely contradicted his own beliefs, didn't hesitate to unleash his full power against an opponent who seemed invincible.
Perhaps Phantylia before him is indeed strong, but Kevin doesn't believe she has reached a level he cannot touch—after all, even he himself doesn't know to what extent his abilities have transformed after being directly baptized by Imaginary energy.
"How dare you... utter such brazen words!!!"
Phantylia naturally also heard Jing Yuan's invitation to Kevin—just as she was confidently expecting to see them first reach an agreement, and then gradually fall into despair under her irresistible power, Kevin's response completely took her by surprise.
It was as if... as if this guy had never taken her seriously from the very beginning!
When had the ever-arrogant Phantylia ever suffered such an insult? Those who had angered her in the past had basically long since seen their civilizations utterly annihilated.
Along with the fury burning within Phantylia herself, the garments and patterns on her massive body also seemed to ignite. Even the surrounding environment was completely engulfed in a sea of fire.
Such scorching temperatures might be nothing more than an itch to the roots of the Ambrosial Arbor, but for March 7th and the others, it was absolutely lethal!
Perhaps they could hold on for a while relying on Six-Phase Ice that almost wouldn't melt, but as time passed, the entire space would eventually become a sea of fire, leaving them with nowhere to hide.
At the same time, Phantylia high above didn't hesitate to swing her massive palm down at Kevin below—with such terrifying size advantage, she didn't need any technique at all, nor did she have any use for it.
But theoretically, the larger an object is, the more cumbersome it should be... Yet no one could have imagined Phantylia's movements could be so fast. In almost the blink of an eye, that mountain-like palm had already pressed down firmly upon Kevin.
BOOM——!
Under this earth-shaking, mountain-trembling might, everything around instead seemed eerily silent. It wasn't until a moment later that Welt was the first to react—
"...Kevin?!"
He desperately wanted to rush forward to help now, but the genuine exhaustion in his body wasn't something willpower alone could overcome... The fact was, he was completely powerless against all this.
And only after witnessing this scene did a satisfied smile finally appear on Phantylia's face.
But soon, she couldn't smile anymore.
"No... that's not right... How is this possible?"
"How could a human's power be this strong?!"
