"Argh …" That was when a chaotic and faintly audible scream echoed throughout the palace, reaching the ears of Owl Yapf and the Ant King.
"My apologies, Your Majesty. Your subordinate will go and see what's going on." Owl Yapf quickly lowered his head. With that, he immediately left the palace and closed the doors, rushing to the lower levels of the palace with an anxious expression and a forehead full of sweat to see what was going on.
However, when Owl Yapf reached the first floor of the palace and saw the situation before him, his expression changed at once. He rushed to one of the fallen ant soldiers and crouched down, reaching out to examine it.
"Is this the effect of the poison?" Owl Yapf muttered to himself, frowning as he dissected the corpse without hesitation.
"Nephite!" Then Owl Yapf, who had straightened up, raised his head and shouted.
"Meow?" Nephilit, whose entire body was trembling slightly, turned to where Owl Yapf was and blinked in confusion. But before Nephilit could do anything, the pores all over its body suddenly tightened, while its pupils abruptly turned pitch-black, and its body turned into an afterimage and disappeared from where it was.
"Blackie Wantong, huh …" Sei Itō, who had appeared at the highest point of the palace the moment Nephilit disappeared, muttered to himself, before turning into an afterimage and disappearing from the place as well.
"It's a pity that I couldn't kill it in one hit!" Only a few words were left in the air, before dispersing with the wind.
In the next moment, Sei Itō's figure appeared more than a thousand meters above the palace, hovering in the air as if he was standing on flat ground. Then. The space around Sei Itō seemed to be affected by steam, distorting slightly. Then, a Philosopher's Stone refinement circle that should only exist in the world of Steel Alchemists appeared beneath his feet, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye and only stopping when it was the size of the main palace.
"Hmm … The cost is a little high, but compared to the possible benefits, it's quite worth it." Sei Itō frowned as he thought to himself.
At this moment, Sei Itō's figure flashed and disappeared from the sky. In the next moment, he appeared in the palace, which was no longer enveloped by the [Sphere]. He refined the Sage Stone under his feet into a formation and fused it with the ground.
In an instant, a dazzling scarlet light and azure blue lightning rose from the refining formation and enveloped the entire palace in the blink of an eye, purifying and refining the ants and humans in the palace who were being treated as meat!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …" All the human beings who were caught today and temporarily survived the process of making the meatballs were howling miserably, their faces twisted in pain and pain.
However, the Ant King and his three guards were worthy of standing at the top of this world. Even though they were poisoned by a lethal poison, they still persisted until now and were still alive. They even activated their telekinesis to resist the effects of the refining formation.
However, the Sage Stone was refined into a formation, and one of the materials used to refine the Sage Stone was human life force. Telekinesis was one of the powers transformed from human life force. It just so happened to match the characteristics of the materials used to refine the formation. Therefore, under the influence of the refining formation, the Ant King and his guards' telekinesis consumption was several times faster than usual.
However, just as Kurum, who had the telekinesis ability [Only I Suffer in Heaven], said, the amount of telekinesis used by the Ant King and his three guards was simply unfathomable. Even if they were distracted to resist the genetic poison in their bodies and the effects of the refining formation outside. There was still a huge amount of telekinesis for them to use! Meng Tutu You Pi and Xiao Yapf walked with great difficulty toward Sei Itō's position.
Standing in the spirit domain that was enhanced by the power of the world and upgraded into a domain. Using the power of the domain, Sei Itō who was at the center of the refining formation set up by the domain's power looked at Xiao Yapf and Meng Tutu You Pi who weren't very inhuman but were still much faster than normal people. He smiled slightly and waved his hand to grab the red droplet-shaped Sage Stone floating in front of him. At the same time, he used his telekinesis to change the refining formation under his feet into an ice refining formation.
The moment the transformation was completed, an extremely cold aura spread out from the center of the formation. It turned into ice crystals and surged towards the entire palace from all directions, especially towards the Ant King, Neptune, Xiao Yapf, and Meng Tutu You Pi, who were the only four people left in the palace. They were all affected by the freezing effect.
Under the influence of this extremely cold thing, a thin layer of ice quickly formed on the bodies of Meng Tutu You Pi and Xiao Yapufu, making them look like two moving ice sculptures. At the same time, it slowed down their footsteps, causing their originally slow footsteps to become even more sluggish.
"Wind!" Sei Itō, who felt that the freezing speed was not ideal, shouted softly.
As soon as he said that, a gust of wind instantly appeared in the domain's space. The ice crystals formed a snowstorm and blew throughout the entire palace. At the same time, under the influence of this gust of wind, the freezing speed of the ice crystals accelerated again. In a short while, Xiao Yapf and Meng Tutu You Pi were wrapped in a thick layer of ice.
At this time, the two finally broke through the influence of the refining formation and arrived at the center of the safe zone for the alchemists.
Just as Xiao Yapf and Meng Tutu You Pi burst out with Nifebitt and shattered the ice crystals on their bodies, Sei Itō's hands passed through the gaps between the splashing ice pieces and landed on the heads of Xiao Yapf and Meng Tutu You Pi, activating the Refining Formation.
In an instant, dozens of blue lightning bolts shot out from Sei Itō's hands and wrapped around Xiao Yapf and Meng Tutu You Pi, electrocuting them until they trembled all over. Even so, the loyalty in their hearts to their king made them ignore the changes in their bodies. They mustered their Nifebitt and threw a punch at Sei Itō's body, throwing the last punch of their lives!
Sensing that the power of the two's punches was not simple, Sei Itō almost instinctively dispersed all his movements and concentrated his energy in the form of Nifebitt and Hard in front of him.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Sei Itō's body was blasted away like a cannonball. He crashed through the palace wall and fell to the ground dozens of meters away.
"Meow!" But before Sei Itō could get up, Nifebitt's unique meow suddenly came from the sky and struck at Sei Itō's head.
Sei Itō's senses of the surrounding space immediately became very clear. The moment Nifebitt's sharp claws scratched his head, he used Teleport to escape from Nifebitt's attack and appeared less than ten meters away from Nifebitt. Then, he used Teleport again without hesitation and completely escaped from Nifebitt's attack range.
Sei Itō appeared in the sky again and threw two unlocked anti-matter grenades in the direction of the palace. But the moment the grenades were about to explode, Nifebitt instantly appeared in front of the two grenades and swung her fists to knock them away.
"Bzzt …" With a weak sound that was almost undetectable, the two grenades exploded at the same time and formed two huge pitch-black spheres that blocked Sei Itō and Nifebitt's vision.
Sei Itō did not stop there. He took out two more unlocked anti-matter grenades and used Teleport to teleport into the palace.
"Bzzt …" The next moment, two more pitch-black spheres with a diameter of one meter appeared in the palace. After three seconds, they suddenly shrunk into small pitch-black dots and disappeared like bubbles, leaving behind two holes that seemed to have been gnawed by something.
"King!" Seeing the hole in the palace, Nifebitt's expression changed drastically as she screamed. She scurried into the palace like a cat to confirm her king's safety.
"Tsk." Sei Itō clicked his tongue in displeasure when he confirmed that the ant king was still alive from the image displayed on the rubik's cube. With a thought, he summoned a huge steel sphere with a diameter of six to seven meters in front of him. He activated his electric discharge ability to its strongest state and threw a straight punch at the huge steel sphere in front of him.
“piu！” Under the bombardment of the electric punch, the huge steel sphere immediately turned into a thick orange-yellow light beam that flickered with blue electricity. It shot straight at the ant king and Nifebitt in the palace below.
"Boom!" Like a small meteorite crashing into the earth, a deafening sound reverberated between heaven and earth. At the same time, a mushroom cloud could be clearly seen rising from the trembling ground just by looking at it with the naked eye …
"Damn, these ants are using the animal's instinct to sense danger to the extreme!" Sei Itō cursed in his heart, still not seeing the light disappear from the information in his mind.
"Come, Rain of Thunder!" The dissatisfied Sei Itō once again used Instant Transmission to appear in the sky above the palace. He raised his arms high and released the lightning created by his electric discharge energy into the cloud, acting as a catalyst to create a large amount of positive and negative electrons. Then, using his electric discharge ability as a catalyst, he rapidly gathered the lightning in the sky and shot it down to the ground like rain.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble …" Under the bombardment of the lightning, the entire palace couldn't bear the heavy burden and completely collapsed to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly darted out of the dust and quickly flew into the sky with wind armor. It appeared in front of Sei Itō three to four seconds later and swung a fist at Sei Itō's face.
This person was the ant king, Meruem!
Seeing the ant king so close to him, Sei Itō's pupils immediately shrank to a point. He focused his mind and leaned back to dodge the ant king's fist by a hair's breadth, then raised his leg to return a whip kick.
"Bang!" The ant king blocked Sei Itō's whip kick with a single arm.
Then, the two of them began to attack and defend at a speed that far exceeded that of humans in the air!
