To be honest, I was extremely jealous of Savy's abilities.
Ignoring defense, ignoring attributes, as long as it was an existence that could be described logically, he could shatter it with a single punch. Even the illusory effects and force fields that couldn't be grasped or touched were included within the scope of this destruction. Even describing it as an unbounded attack was far from being able to match this kind of heaven-defying ability. This uncle, who was once a heroic figure, was indeed worthy of the title of the First General who had never lost a single battle in a hundred thousand years. Because of this, his combat prowess was even above that of many Schilling Emperors. Thus, he became the only exception to the rule of the Shiring Apostles, "A lower Apostle will never be able to defeat a higher Apostle."
However, this didn't mean that he was invincible. Just as Shadora had said, this ability called "Destruction" was only a type of pseudo-dimensional power. Dingdang had once chatted with me — fine, I admit that it was a one-sided education. I was always educated by a bunch of knowledgeable beauties, including that little bean who was not much taller than a lollipop. Anyway, Dingdang had mentioned the biggest difference between pseudo-dimensional power and natural power. That was that natural power was an "absolute truth" that could be unconditionally established in any situation and any target. For example, Dingdang's Life Bestowal — even if it was absolutely empty and boundless, Dingdang could easily create life in it. However, the establishment of pseudo-dimensional power had a certain limit. Similarly, using the power of life as an example, pseudo-dimensional power Life Bestowal had a limit: it had to have a target. Even if it was to give life to a rock, it was impossible to create life in the absolute void. This was because "creating something out of nothing" would shake the very foundation of the world, and whether or not this foundation could be shaken would determine whether a power was a natural power or a pseudo-dimensional power.
Savy's "Destruction" should also follow this restriction. Of course, perhaps it was restricted by something else. For example, the target he destroyed had an upper limit of energy strength, volume, range, and so on. This was almost certain. Otherwise, all he had to do was punch the ground and turn the entire Planet Azeroth into ashes along with us. Wouldn't that be the end of the book?
Eh? Did I say anything strange just now?
In short, no matter how strong Savy's ability was, I was confident that I could restrain him. It could even be said that against any target that wasn't a God, the move I was about to use would have absolute lethality.
But … I hope I can successfully stop that move …
"Then hurry up and end the battle … use your so-called strongest attack!!!" As Savi spoke, he stretched his body in the air, as if he had just completed a very ordinary morning exercise. Then, he assumed an offensive posture.
This battle maniac, from the very beginning, I have never seen this guy defend at all!
"Haa —"
Savy let out a thunderous battle roar. The strange black tattoos on his face twisted like some sort of ancient totem characters. He suddenly took a step in the air before raising his fist and charging towards me like a bolt of black lightning. It was visible to the naked eye that even the air rippled under the impact. Gas rapidly surged into the vacuum, creating a loud explosion that sounded like a gun salute in the sky.
An even faster speed, at least 30% faster than before. Furthermore, he didn't use any auxiliary acceleration equipment or spatial equipment. He only relied on his body's instantaneous burst of power to reach more than ten times the speed of sound?
What a monster.
However, it wasn't impossible to dodge. Although in terms of physical strength, I might not be comparable to the Schilling people who were born with a body of steel, but in a situation where I was prepared, it wasn't a problem to make a slight dodge.
My muscles instantly contracted, but it wasn't a necessary movement for me to dodge in midair. It was just a habit that I was born with. Then, in the air beside my body, all sorts of drifting energies rapidly gathered, and the space on the other side of me instantly became a vacuum. Relying on this burst of propulsion, I dodged Savi's attack with a speed that wasn't much slower than teleportation. Even though my internal organs started to go on a rampage under the sudden acceleration, when I saw the stunned expression on the bald uncle's face as he brushed past me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart.
Bye-bye …
I muttered to myself. Then, I extended my right hand and lightly patted Savy's back.
My strength was probably only enough to kill a mosquito, and it wasn't enough to kill a cockroach.
From the moment Savy started his charge, to when I patted his back, to when he stopped a hundred meters away, only a second had passed. It was like the blink of an eye. Shallow Shallow and her sister who were on the ground didn't even see anything. On the other hand, Lin Xue only saw Savy turning into a black shadow, narrowly brushing past me before stopping in midair. The entire process was like two actors acting out an incomparably vulgar wuxia scene, filled with inexplicable points of ridicule.
Sandra was the only one who saw me slap him, but she did not understand what had happened.
"As expected, it will be a painful death sentence." After being frozen like a statue for a few seconds, Savy slowly turned around with an inexplicable smile on his face. "Finally, I once again experienced this feeling of helplessness, just like the moment when I fell into the abyss and was devoured …"
Savy's words did not continue. His face began to distort violently, and the alloy armor on his body began to creak under the effect of some indescribable power. The surrounding air began to emit a faint blue glow. Under the effect of electrolysis, a rotten egg odor gradually pervaded the air, accompanied by low buzzing sounds of energy. A dozen or so seconds later, energy sparks began to appear around Savy's body. These sparks produced light explosive sounds, and then frantically poured into the bald uncle's body.
Lin Xue's eyes suddenly widened as she exclaimed, "That damned blockhead! Idiot! Is he crazy!? "
Even when this wretched lass cried out in surprise, she didn't forget to add two parallelism adjectives to my description!
"How …" Just as Shallow Shallow was about to open her mouth to ask, the flow of energy became so obvious that even she could feel it. "What is going on?"
The flow of energy in the air had gradually reached a level that could be seen by the naked eye. The occasional sparks of energy gradually turned into a continuous bright flow of light. From the ground beneath our feet, the sky above our heads, the mountains in the distance, from any direction, all kinds of energy surged over to form a raging flood, bringing with it an increasingly high-pitched screech of energy. Their target was Savy, who was gradually turning into a blazing ball of light.
The current Savy was like a bottomless black hole of energy. No matter what kind of energy it was, all of it would be attracted over by some mysterious power before surging into his body.
That was because I had already planted a 'seed' in his body, a seed that would grow into an energy vortex.
The amount of energy that was attracted by this seed was so massive that it was impossible to avoid or defend against it. It had already far exceeded the limits of what Savy could 'destroy'.
It was just like how even a skilled boxer would be unable to disperse the layer of air on the surface of his body.
What was my ability? This was a question that even Sandora could not figure out. But what was certain was that it had something to do with the control of energy. I could use my own spiritual energy to resonate with any energy or objects that carried energy, thereby controlling or attracting the latter. This kind of spiritual energy influence could even break through the barriers of the endless void and summon satellite artillery from the distant Schilling's home planet. And for a more advanced application, I could even use my spiritual energy to cut open the world barrier and directly absorb energy from the void for my own use. However, back then, when I first tried to absorb energy from the void, I met with quite a bit of trouble … Err, alright, trouble that involved Void energy was never a small trouble. In short, my spiritual energy had gone 'slightly' out of control, and the surging Void energy almost swallowed me whole. Of course, since the book did not suddenly disappear, it meant that I had some dogsh * t luck at that time. I actually miraculously came out unscathed, and at the same time, I had also grasped a skill that even I did not dare to test just how powerful it was.
The principle behind this skill was simple. It was to compress one's spiritual energy and then temporarily implant it into a target's body. Before this small amount of spiritual energy dissipated, it would automatically perform its own function: attracting energy.
However, in order to activate this skill, I had to first come into contact with the host. At the very least, right now, I did not have the ability to transfer my own spiritual energy into the enemy's body.
And the second limitation of this skill was that the host also had to possess spiritual energy. Placing one's spiritual energy on a rock was a rather idiotic thing to do. There wasn't even an environment for spiritual energy to exist in, so where was the host supposed to be?
In this way, this skill was a little useless. Although this skill could not be stopped once it was activated, in many situations, the strong would have a way to expel the spiritual energy that invaded their body. If I used this skill on other Fallen Apostles, they could easily expel the spiritual energy before it could germinate. Thus, from the very start, I had never included this skill in my backup plan to destroy the World Circuits.
But, perhaps it was because the world was inherently "balanced," but Savi, who possessed an almost invincible power, was unable to achieve this.
From the battle just now, I noticed something strange. Although Savi was able to easily destroy the external energy that attacked him, his own control over the various types of energy was almost zero. Even his floating in the air was due to the effects of his alloy armor. My spiritual energy had scanned his body countless times to predict his next move, but Savi was completely unaware of it. It seemed that his "Destruction" ability had also destroyed his own talent in controlling energy. That was why I was so confident in this half-useless skill that I named "Singularity Explosion."
Now, it seemed that the effects of spiritual energy that was no longer under my control had decreased significantly. At the very least, it wasn't able to directly attract the overwhelming amount of Void energy to me. But, this was already enough to satisfy me.
A minute later, the frenzied surge of energy had reached an astonishing scale. The magic elements that were drifting in the air, the power of the plague, light, electricity, magnetism, and the psionic energy flowing in the buildings below had all left their original trajectories and converged into the magnificent current that had already covered half the sky. With us as the center, the Schilling buildings that were in operation gradually quieted down. The energy furnaces in the distance stopped working one after another. The flashing signal lights gradually extinguished. In the brightly lit Schilling base, darkness suddenly filled the air.
Only at the very center of the base, the unsettling, blinding ball of light was rapidly expanding.
Savy was already dead. More than ten seconds ago, he had already died from the annihilation effect of the energy. His body was the first to melt, causing him to be unable to even make a sound before he died.
And now, what I wanted to do was to make use of this opportunity to destroy the World Circuit that was gradually being completed under the ground. Even if it was hidden behind dozens of layers of steel armor, it was impossible for the World Circuit to be spared from this explosion that had gathered all of the energy of the entire Tirisfal.
What a pity. I had wanted to see what the gigantic machine that was as large as the entire city looked like.
But, I couldn't be bothered to sigh. Just as I was worried about, although the portion of spiritual energy that had gone out of control had already dissipated, the energy black hole had sunk into a dangerous chain reaction. If I didn't make use of the unique properties of the World Circuit to cut off the frenzied energy flow, I was afraid that the entire planet would soon be sucked dry. And if this energy black hole had a capacity limit, it would even be the end of the world.
As the nearby energy furnaces had already collapsed, the gravity trap that the Fallen Apostle had set up had naturally lost its effect. I quickly descended to the ground and pulled the girls who were a little stunned. "Retreat!"
"Wait." Sandora suddenly pulled me back. Then, she casually summoned a faint gray shadow. It was a Shadow of the Lost.
"If the Fallen Apostle had escaped in advance, this shadow might have been able to secretly use their teleportation device to find their lair."

"I will report everything that has happened here truthfully to the higher-ups!"
Belavilla said to the people in front of her in a cold voice near the gangway of a shuttle that was about to leave.
"This is really out of our expectations … It is impossible for Savy to fail. Unless he has exhausted all of his energy, it is impossible for him to be defeated head-on. But …" Ockham's voice seemed to be filled with annoyance. "We don't even know how that carbon-based creature did it. It doesn't make sense. He shouldn't be able to gather such a large amount of energy …"
"Listen, Ockham." Before Belavilla boarded the gangway, she suddenly turned around and stared into his eyes. "The Protoss has already started to seal off the void passage in this world, but we have found nothing. Due to the internal conflict between you and that idiot, we have watched the opponent destroy everything right before our eyes. I have already begun to suspect whether you have thoughts that shouldn't exist in our minds, so …"
Belavilla didn't continue speaking. Instead, she turned around and walked up the gangway.
"This is really giving me a headache." Ockham waited for the other party's shuttle to take off before he stepped onto his own shuttle. Before boarding, he turned around and glanced at the blazing ball of light that was slowly expanding in the distance. "Once it's activated, it can't be stopped at all? This is really … giving me a headache … "
