174: cover

Before the words had even faded, Artemis felt its perception of its body go numb for an instant.

At the same time, those Jonnisons Clones that had been burned to ashes unexpectedly condensed once more.

They began to charge again.

After the Clones were wiped out and condensed yet again.

"It's useless, Artemis," Jonnison's voice came. "As long as I do not die, my Clones are endless."

"Is that so?" A cold glint flashed in Artemis's eyes. "Then I will kill your true self first!"

It shifted its figure and rushed towards the direction where Jonnison's true self was located.

"Want to kill me? It's not that easy!" Jonnison sneered.

He shifted his figure, merged into the Void Realm, and disappeared.

"Want to escape?" Artemis snorted coldly.

It closed its eyes and sensed carefully.

"Found it!"

It opened its eyes abruptly and rushed towards a certain direction.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, Artemis threw a punch, shattering the space.

Jonnison's figure fell out from the Void Realm.

"Artemis, you..." Jonnison's expression changed drastically.

He hadn't expected that Artemis could find him so easily.

"Die!" Artemis roared.

It swung its fist and smashed it fiercely towards Jonnison.

"No!" Jonnison screamed in terror.

He wanted to dodge, but discovered that he had been locked onto by Artemis's Qi, and he was completely unable to move.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, Jonnison's figure was smashed into fragments by Artemis's punch.

"It's over." Artemis slowly retracted its fist.

But the next moment, its expression changed drastically.

"Something's wrong!"

It turned its head abruptly and looked in a certain direction.

There, Jonnison's figure was actually condensing once again.

"Artemis, I said it before, you cannot kill me," Jonnison's voice came again. "As long as my Clones are still here, I am immortal!"

"Is that so? Then I will kill all your Clones!"

It shifted its figure and rushed towards Jonnison's Clones once again.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

On the battlefield, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Artemis, like a mad demon, continuously hunted down Jonnison's Clones.

But no matter how many Clones it killed, Jonnison could condense them again.

"It's useless, Artemis," Jonnison's voice came again. "You cannot kill all my Clones, and I can continuously devour your power."

"When your power is exhausted, that will be your death day!"

"Is that so?" Artemis sneered. "Then just give it a try!"

It took a deep breath, and the Blood Flame around its body surged again.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the Blood Flame rose into the sky, enveloping everything around it.

"Ah—!"

Screams rang out again.

Jonnison's Clones turned into ashes one after another under the burning of the Blood Flame.

But very quickly, they condensed again.

"It's useless, Artemis," Jonnison's voice came again. "You cannot kill me..."

Before the words were finished, his voice paused abruptly.

"Something's wrong!"

He discovered abruptly that the number of his Clones was actually decreasing.

"What's going on?" Jonnison was horrified in his heart.

He clearly hadn't felt his power draining away.

But why was the number of Clones decreasing?

"Artemis, what did you do?" Jonnison roared.

"Hehe, Jonnison, did you think I really couldn't kill you?" Artemis sneered. "I was just playing with you."

"Now, the game is over."

Before the words had even faded, Artemis pressed its hands together and clapped them abruptly.

"Boom!"

The Blood Flame, like a tsunami, swept towards all directions.

"Ah—!"

Screams rang out again.

This time, it was no longer intermittent, but... merged into one continuous sound.

Jonnison's Clones turned into ashes one after another under the burning of the Blood Flame.

And this time, they did not condense again.

"No!" Jonnison screamed in terror. "This is impossible!"

He felt that his power was rapidly draining away.

"There is nothing impossible," Artemis's voice rang in his ears. "Jonnison, you underestimate me too much."

"You have once again underestimated the capabilities of my Realm."

"Although your Clones are endless, my flames can burn away your power."

"As long as I exhaust your power, your Clones will naturally be unable to condense again."

"And this is my plan."

"You..." Jonnison still wanted to say something, but he no longer had the chance.

His figure gradually dissipated under the burning of the Blood Flame.

"No—!"

The last scream echoed between heaven and earth.

"Whew..." Artemis let out a long breath.

It slowly retracted the Blood Flame and looked around.

The originally noisy battlefield was now completely silent.

"It's over." Artemis muttered to itself.

It turned around, preparing to leave to deal with those ordinary divine envoys.

But just at this moment, its footsteps paused.

"Hmm?"

It turned its head abruptly and looked in a certain direction.

There, a figure was slowly condensing.

"Jonnison?" Artemis's pupils constricted.

"Hehe, Artemis, did you think I really died?" Jonnison's voice came again. "You are too naive."

"I admit you are strong, but you still underestimated me."

"My Visualization Diagram was specially crafted by the Lord for an intelligence operative like me; its life-saving ability absolutely exceeds your imagination."

"Its true ability is... infinite Clones!"

"You will never be able to kill me!"

"Is that so?" A cold glint flashed in Artemis's eyes. "Then I will give it a try!"

It shifted its figure and rushed towards Jonnison again.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

The battle erupted again.

This time, it was even more tragic than before.

Artemis, like a mad demon, continuously hunted down Jonnison's Clones, but it refused to leave the range of the Royal Capital at all times.

In the process of continuously condensing Clones to confront Artemis, Jonnison also discovered this point.

But he didn't have time to figure out why this was now. He was very clear about what he needed to do right now.

And just as Jonnison had expected, while in fierce battle with Artemis, Bekara went from initially fighting together, to later assisting, then slacking off, and finally quietly escaped the battlefield.

During this time, Artemis had thought about stopping her, but the problem was that Jonnison's Clones were too annoying.

Although not strong, they were truly unrivaled in terms of draining its energy.

In the end, it had no choice but to let Bekara get away.

With no other choice, it could only set its target on Jonnison.

But soon, Artemis noticed another problem: Jonnison's Clones had stopped regenerating at some point.

At this moment, Artemis also knew that its plans this time had all fallen through.

Not a single one of these guys had been kept.

But there were still gains; at least under the delay and cover of these guys, its Heaven-Burning Flame was about to completely envelop this planet.

When it completely enveloped it, that would be the doomsday for these guys!
