Chapter 187: Do Not Resist This Power, Kevin...
Under the astonished gaze of Phantylia, Kevin, beneath the colossal palm, actually used one hand to slowly push himself upright against the immense pressure—judging from his unchanged expression, it seemed... he hadn't even expended much effort.
If not for the fact that the originally intact ground had already completely collapsed under the crushing force, one might even think this seemingly terrifying attack was merely an empty display?
But what shocked Phantylia wasn't just this point—
What truly astounded her was that, clearly in her vision, Kevin was undoubtedly completely human, yet he could easily withstand her attack without relying on any Path power at all... Under normal circumstances, this should absolutely be impossible!
There are indeed many races in the universe born powerful or capable of gaining strength through other means, but ordinary humans are definitely not among them.
They can rely on technology to create unparalleled machinery, which is indeed commendable, but individual strength is always a hurdle they cannot bypass.
In Phantylia's eyes, without the favor of an Aeon, humans are nothing but a group of ants with nothing but interesting creations... All the human civilizations she had destroyed proved this point.
Yet Kevin's appearance completely overturned her inherent impression of ordinary humans' weakness. In the very next second, the energy emanating from Kevin's body even surpassed her imagination—
Crack— Crack—
"What?"
Phantylia, still focusing her attention on Kevin, only snapped back to reality when she suddenly heard those crisp sounds. When she turned her head to look around, she realized with a start that the sea of flames she had constructed had somehow been eroded by Kevin into a vast expanse of ice and snow.
It was just unfortunate for March 7th and little Elysia not far away—the feeling of alternating between ice and fire probably wasn't pleasant at all.
"You were the first to attack, so now... it should be my turn."
Ssssh—!
Under the cover of Phantylia's massive palm, Kevin's arm had somehow transformed into a beast-like claw shape. Then, in the next second, it violently tore through Phantylia's hand!
Yet this scene, which should have been utterly terrifying and brutal, instead gave off a rather dashing and heroic vibe when performed by Kevin. Even that completely inhuman blue sharp claw only further intensified his oppressive aura towards the enemy—that icy handsomeness didn't diminish in the slightest; instead, it grew even more strikingly cold.
However, when Phantylia saw that inhuman claw, she actually breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's it. I really thought you were some terrifying human. Turns out... you're just a monster after all."
"Actually, whether it's civilizations composed purely of humans or planets teeming with alien species... I've destroyed quite a few of them..."
"Why don't you tell me now where your hometown is. That way, after I capture you, I can still find that planet in the universe, letting you reunite with your homeland..."
Boom—!!!
Before Phantylia could even finish speaking, she saw Kevin below suddenly leap into motion, swinging his fist without hesitation to strike her massive body.
To others, this colossal form might be an insurmountable mountain, but to Kevin... it was merely a larger target.
In just an instant, a hole roughly five meters in diameter appeared on Phantylia's massive body. Even before the Ambrosial Arbor power lingering around the wound could heal it, frigid frost had already completely covered its surroundings, barely suppressing the Arbor's regenerative power.
Yet faced with this terrifying wound on her body, Phantylia showed no panic. Instead, she looked at Kevin who had attacked her and chuckled softly: "Why so impatient? Don't we both have plenty of time...?"
As an Emanator of The Destruction, she could naturally sense that restless power within Kevin's body... It yearned to destroy everything yet remained perpetually unsatisfied.
Perhaps she was wrong earlier—Kevin truly was just a human, but his power didn't originate from himself; it came from that restless force within his body.
Even if he seemed to control it perfectly, a beast is still a beast, just like humans... who never truly change their nature.
In this universe, who could understand better than her, a Lord Ravager, how to stir up The Destruction deep within someone's heart?
She only needed a little guidance to...
Boom—!
"Wha... what happened?"
Before Phantylia's thoughts could even escape her earlier fantasy, her entire massive body had already half-kneeled on the ground after losing sensation in its lower half.
When she looked down, she realized that most of her lower body had somehow been completely encased in thick frost. Under the extreme cold, she couldn't feel anything for a moment.
"Losing focus during battle... that's not a very good habit."
Even though Phantylia was distracted for only a brief moment, it was more than enough time for Kevin to do something.
When dealing with this type of enemy, did he really have to hold back like a fool?
"Don't get too cocky... Such injuries are merely minor wounds for me, who possesses the mighty power of the Ambrosial Arbor. They can be healed in just a short moment."
As Phantylia's words fell, dense light immediately began gathering from the surrounding phantom flowers towards her body—in no time at all, that hideous and terrifying wound was completely restored to its original state.
It didn't even require any elaborate technique; just that sheer, concentrated life force was enough to dissolve this seemingly solid ice and heal this completely inconsequential wound.
No matter how much this icy power possessed the ability to extinguish life, could it possibly eliminate the Ambrosial Arbor capable of covering an entire Xianzhou ship?
"As for you... I can sense that your body still harbors terrifying power... It's such pure Destruction, yet it's been mixed together?"
"Why resist this power? Wouldn't it be better to use it freely?"
"Otherwise... shall I help guide you a little?"
