Chapter 192: The Calamity Unsheathed
From any perspective, the Ambrosial Arbor seems to perfectly embody people's impression of a "divine creation."
For an entire civilization, it can grant countless individuals immortality and bestow their descendants with similarly terrifying lifespans. For sages seeking truth, it can, through the uniqueness of individuals, fashion various creations, allowing people to pursue the true meaning of life...
And for powerful individuals like Phantylia, the Ambrosial Arbor can grant them unparalleled vitality, enabling them to forge such nearly indestructible perfect bodies.
In a sense, the current Phantylia is indeed an almost invincible existence—after all, she is not merely one of those Ambrosial Arbor creations that can only mobilize a fraction of its life force. At this moment, having fully mastered the power of the Ambrosial Arbor, she represents the Arbor itself... For thousands of years, the Xianzhou Alliance has been helpless against the existence of the Ambrosial Arbor, let alone in this brief moment?
From any angle, it seems that mortal power is completely incapable of shaking Phantylia's existence, just like the attacks launched by Jing Yuan and Kevin not long ago.
But Kevin refuses to believe that there truly exists an insurmountable peak in this world.
Just as so-called deities are merely beings powerful to a certain degree, like the lesson Icarus's fall in myth seeks to tell people—"I flew before the sun, to a place no one has ever reached."
—"So, perhaps someone can surpass me too."
As the power within the Judgment of Shamash continuously accumulates, Kevin in mid-air quickly replaces the original "sun" standing high above the Luofu in everyone's vision. That blazing radiance seems capable of dispelling all unease and apprehension in their hearts.
By now, surely no one would doubt Kevin's words anymore—that mortals too can contend with the sun.
"Yes, yes, yes! Exactly! The more dazzling such brilliance is, the more meaningful its destruction becomes!"
Even this body condensed from the Ambrosial Arbor cannot avoid having its eyes pierced and damaged by that sharp light when staring directly at Kevin. Yet Phantylia shows no sign of avoidance; instead, she continues to stare fixedly at Kevin in mid-air with eyes growing increasingly incandescent, her expression gradually becoming intoxicated.
"Fortunately, it's me who came to the Luofu this time. If it were anyone else, they surely wouldn't be able to resist at this moment, right?"
That said, Phantylia is no fool after all. While Kevin continuously accumulates power, she too summons forth stars similar to those from before.
Only this time, it is larger, more magnificent, and more terrifying—the massive phantom even breaks through the dome of the Scalegorge Waterscape, appearing in the sky above the entire Xianzhou ship.
For those currently on the Xianzhou ship, it is as if a colossal planet has suddenly approached the ship's near-orbit, revealing a celestial body occupying most of the sky above the Xianzhou.
If such a terrifyingly massive planet were to truly collide with the Luofu's outer hull, even this Xianzhou ship that has sailed through the cosmos for nearly ten thousand years would likely have to face its doomsday.
Fortunately, in Phantylia's hands, this planet's actual size is not as vast as the phantom in the sky; unfortunately, however, the true mass of the celestial body held in Phantylia's hand is indeed comparable to such a massive star.
When combat reaches such a scale, intricate techniques lose much of their meaning. Because true life-and-death struggles often require only an instant.
And this seemingly lengthy time is actually just a few short seconds. The power within Kevin's Judgment of Shamash has already condensed to its limit. And the celestial body summoned by Phantylia has already arrived before Kevin.
Facing that attack which completely fills his vision and carries an overwhelmingly terrifying sense of pressure, Kevin doesn't even furrow his brow. Instead, he softly utters words that, though seemingly faint, clearly reach everyone's ears—
"Demon descends into abyss..."
"The Calamity—unsheathed!!!"
Boom————!!!
Raging flames collide with the condensed celestial body. Terrifying sonic booms and shockwaves instantly fill the entire Scalegorge Waterscape. If not for Dan Heng's quick reaction, protecting everyone within water waves, even the residual shockwaves alone would have been unbearable.
Gradually, the flames filling the sky begin to slowly overwhelm that massive yet extremely condensed star, causing it to dissipate as if being devoured by a stellar body millions of times larger—
Even the phantom originally appearing above the entire Xianzhou ship begins to crumble like a planet losing its core.
In the next instant, the massive star is completely engulfed by the漫天烈焰 (flames filling the sky). Along with it, Phantylia's originally seemingly immense body is merely an addition under such压倒性的体量 (overwhelming scale), vanishing into nothingness in moments.
As the喷薄的烈焰 (gushing flames) contact the ground, they surge forth like tidal waves, indiscriminately engulfing even the近乎无穷无尽的建木根系 (seemingly endless Ambrosial Arbor roots), consuming them all.
Only after several full minutes do the蓬勃的烈焰 (vigorous flames) surrounding the entire Ambrosial Arbor root system begin to gradually weaken, revealing once more the misty white scenery around.
Only this time, the Ambrosial Arbor roots originally clinging to the surroundings have completely vanished without a trace under the scorching滔天烈焰 (sky-high flames). Even Phantylia... her massive body leaves not a shred behind. Under temperatures几乎超越了恒星入灭 (almost surpassing stellar extinction), no material could possibly survive within.
No matter how powerful the vitality granted by the Ambrosial Arbor was, what does it matter? Kevin didn't leave her a single trace of material. No matter how powerful Phantylia is, she couldn't possibly have the ability to create matter from nothing instantly.
In contrast stands Kevin in mid-air—almost completely unscathed. He steps down step by step from mid-air as if walking on air, not heading towards Welt and the others on the other side, but instead gradually walking to where Phantylia originally stood.
Even though that place is now empty, Kevin still tightly grips his Judgment of Shamash without relaxing in the slightest.
"Emanator of Annihilation of the Antimatter Legion, you have lost."
Even though she simultaneously bears the powers of The Destruction and The Abundance, she still lost.
This is not due to any gap in so-called fate or power, but because Kevin, bearing an entire civilization upon his shoulders, is绝非孤身一人 (definitely not alone).
