Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1120: Infinite Growth

contemporary romance

Perhaps fortunately or otherwise, the king of keys had swallowed up a large number of neighboring worlds. Even so, the clash between Fang Yi and Ghroth swallowed up over a hundred worlds within minutes.

Fang Yi's attack was qualitatively superior, but Ghroth's attack spanned a wider area. The two attacks were in uneasy stalemate, and this would have been a difficult situation if Fang Yi were fighting alone against Ghroth. However, Sun Xiaowu was around.

"[Blinding Flash: Ten Thousandfold Echo]!" Sun Xiaowu split into ten thousand clones, each of which summoned a golden mecha.

"[Golden Divide: Desolation]!" Tens of thousands of Sun Xiaowu's clones raised their hands as one. Golden radiance lit up the void as tens of thousands of his mecha clones struck at once, forming a flood of golden light.

The light resolved into the form of a golden dragon, which added its might to Fang Yi's attack.

With a flash of golden light, the sixfold combination of energies became a sevenfold combination, which quickly broke through the sixfold disasters and barreled toward Ghroth.

As scorching-hot steel swirled, a burst of red light flashed from Ghroth's eyes. The red light felt like heavenly tribulation, boasting unparalleled authority.

The red lightning of judgment erupted and smashed into the sevenfold combination of energies, which had little energy remaining after dispelling Ghroth's sixfold disasters. The red lightning siphoned away the energy, bit by bit.

"Hurry!" Sun Xiaowu shouted. They couldn't give up on this opportunity. However, Sun Xiaowu didn't hear anything from Fang Yi.

He turned around to see Fang Yi panting loudly, having dropped his spear, as though he had gone limp.

"Go on ahead! I need a moment to rest."

Sun Xiaowu rolled his eyes. "You really need to improve your stamina!"

Fang Yi didn't have the strength to respond. Sun Xiaowu glanced at him in exasperation. In the end, he was the only one he could rely on!

"I didn't want to showcase this technique yet..." Sun Xiaowu had an ultimate attack of his own, but he had kept it under wraps because he still wasn't able to use it perfectly. Now, however, he had no choice but to unveil it early.

"[Adamantine Aegis: Invincible Martial God]! [Blinding Flash: Echo of Origins]!" Sun Xiaowu summoned tens of thousands of clones, which all merged into his main body. Dense layers of golden runes revolved around his skin. As he unleashed his genetic energy, Sun Xiaowu transformed into a mecha.

Runes decorated his body, glowing behind his back like a burning sun.

A hundred, two hundred, three hundred... a thousand, two thousand, three thousand meters—Sun Xiaowu's growth showed no sign of stopping.

As though Sun Xiaowu's mecha form was on steroids, it kept on growing, simultaneously increasing his aura and strength. Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand meters—everyone on the battlefield watched Sun Xiaowu in awe.

Sun Xiaowu's mecha had grown over ten thousand meters tall, and his aura had magnified a hundredfold. Even Ghroth felt threatened by his strength.

No—Sun Xiaowu's aura might have been enhanced, but his strength and reserves of power didn't seem to have increased noticeably. The only visible change was to the mecha that stood behind him.

Eventually, Sun Xiaowu's mecha stopped growing when it was a hundred thousand meters tall.

The ginormous mecha no longer seemed small in comparison to Ghroth's planet-like body. It was larger than even two or three continents added together, its armor gleaming a resplendent gold. It looked like a sun of titanic proportions, and its strength had increased to match.

This was the newest technique that Sun Xiaowu had devised, founded on the basis of [Adamantine Aegis: Martial God]. Sun Xiaowu had combined [Adamantine Aegis] and [Blinding Flash] together to create his brand-new [Adamantine Aegis: Invincible Martial God].

[Blinding Flash: Echo of Origins] involved spawning clones with his technique, then merging the clones together to augment his power to a staggering extent.

Upon witnessing the hundred-thousand-meter tall golden mecha, Fang Yi was gobsmacked—but also confused. "Aren't Sun Xiaowu's clones constructs of genetic energy? How exactly is he augmenting himself by splitting up and recombining that energy?"

The members of Team Zenith had some knowledge of each other's techniques and strength. Although Fang Yi had never seen Sun Xiaowu use this technique before, he could hazard a guess as to its foundations based on what he knew.

Sun Xiaowu laughed. "That's the crux of the technique, of course!"

There was no reason all that strength couldn't be combined together.

Sun Xiaowu had always been wondering what sort of creations he could make if he combined ten thousand clones' worth of power, and the golden qilin manifestation had been the first demonstration of this idea.

Sun Xiaowu's Echo of Origins was the next step beyond that.

Human hunters, as Fang Yi remarked upon, wouldn't be able to concentrate all that power in their own bodies.

After all, the clones were spawned from Sun Xiaowu's own body, and if he were to summon them all back, he would simply replenish whatever genetic energy he had consumed. It was the equivalent of multiplying by 1—no matter how many times he did it, it wouldn't change.

Sun Xiaowu's new strategy was to concentrate all that energy not on himself, but rather on the manifestation of the mecha to his back. That idea was able to overcome the usual restriction and allow Sun Xiaowu to multiply his strength—100 by 10,000, in theory.

Because his own strength was limited, however, he was an order of magnitude less efficient than the theoretical estimate, but it was still a multiplicative enhancement of 10 by 10,000—a hundred-thousand-meter tall mecha.

By the time Sun Xiaowu finished summoning his mecha, Ghroth's red lightning had dealt with the sevenfold combination of energies, and was heading straight toward Sun Xiaowu.

Sun Xiaowu punched forward, an action mimicked by the mecha behind him. An explosion of golden energy, like the most brilliant, shining sun, exploded in the void, spawning a solar storm and simultaneously a void storm.

Sun Xiaowu was unperturbed by the sudden void storm.

"[Golden Divide]!" Sun Xiaowu's palms shone with golden light. He slashed horizontally forward with his arms, as did the mecha behind him. The mecha's huge golden blade-like arms sliced the void storm apart.

Fragments of various worlds, a result of the destruction from the battle, orbited around Ghroth. With a mental compulsion, Ghroth sent all those fragments raining down toward Sun Xiaowu like a meteor shower...
