201: Chapter 21 Time-Space Chaos!

Buzz!

The space of the Golden Arena was completely isolated from the outside world.

The scene of the temple vanished, replaced by a void of golden chaos; only the arena beneath his feet, engraved with complex divine runes, remained real.

A heavy pressure, hundreds or even thousands of times greater than the projection, crashed down, causing Lu Yin's body to sink slightly.

Lu Yin watched the changes around him, his brow furrowing.

This arena not only isolated the outside world but also separated the Legion Commander from his Death Legion.

This meant that in this battle, he could only rely on his own strength.

Glancing at the status panel of the Will of Athena, Lu Yin discovered she was actually at the same level as him.

[Goddess of War and Wisdom · Will of Athena]

[Level: 8]

[Strength: 2,300,000, Constitution: 25,000,000]

[Agility: 2,200,000, Spirit: 22,000,000]

[Skills: Spear of Victory, Aegis, Eyes of Wisdom... War Domain, Olympus Holy Fire, Light of Judgment, Sacred Formation, Oracle: Heavenly Punishment]

[Special Status: Divine Pressure (Suppresses all attributes of all units by 2%), Immortal Divinity (Immune to instant death, curses, and erosion effects)]

[Divine Authority: War (Attacks ignore any defense and have a 10% critical hit chance), Wisdom (Skill cooldown recovery speed +100%, Mana recovery speed +100%)]

Lu Yin stared at those terrifying panel attributes, his heart skipping a beat uncontrollably.

At Level 8, having four-dimensional attributes over twenty million, the blessing of Divine Authority, and those powerful special statuses...

This was no longer a realm that an ordinary Professional could understand.

Just standing on the arena, the invisible pressure originating from the level of life itself shrouded him like a mountain, making his breathing slightly labored.

Lu Yin took a deep breath and gripped the hilt of the blade of eternal silence.

The cold touch of the weapon in his palm and the dark luster pulsating like a heartbeat quickly calmed his mind.

Although this was Hell difficulty, he wasn't without a chance of victory.

Boom!

Just then, the Will of Athena moved; without any superfluous actions, she simply raised her right hand.

A torrent composed purely of golden light poured out from the tip of her spear like a celestial river bursting its dam!

That wasn't a skill, just a casual strike.

But the divine power contained within it already surpassed the destructive power of the previous projection's "Oracle: Heavenly Punishment"!

The pressure brought by the Will of Athena's panel attributes now transformed into tangible, destructive energy sufficient to completely annihilate him.

The destructive golden torrent was reflected in Lu Yin's pupils.

Time was forcibly stretched in his perception, and his thoughts raced at a hundred times their normal speed.

"The Divine Authority of War... its effect is to ignore defense and grant a 10% critical hit chance... I can't take it head-on."

The moment the thought flashed through his mind, he used Attribute Conversion to switch to Agility, exerted sudden force with his feet, and lunged forward to the left.

The golden torrent whistled past the right side of his body, the terrifying holy energy causing a scorching pain on his skin.

However, there was no expression on Lu Yin's face; as he dodged to the side, he used Attribute Conversion again to switch back to Strength, and the blade of annihilation in his hand slashed down violently.

"Dimensional Cut!"

The strike that crossed time and space landed on the body of the Will of Athena; as the overlapping images flickered, a damage number appeared.

-46,554,355!

Forty-six million damage was terrifying, but for Lu Yin, this was definitely far below his normal damage values.

After all, after converting his attributes, his Strength value was as high as forty million.

With the addition of attack power and skill potency, the damage should have been at least over two hundred million.

"Is there a passive skill for damage reduction..."

Lu Yin guessed inwardly.

Although the damage was reduced, his Life Mark effect was still there; as long as he ignored defense, he would have a chance to fight.

Just as Lu Yin's thoughts were racing, the Will of Athena moved.

Her speed was so fast it was almost like teleportation.

In the next moment, cold killing intent locked onto him from his rear flank.

A golden point of light, condensed to the extreme, pierced through the air, aimed straight for the center of Lu Yin's back!

There was no grand momentum, no excess energy leakage, only the purest, most lethal chill.

Alarm bells rang in Lu Yin's heart; he didn't have time to turn around, let alone dodge completely.

"Momentary Eternity!"

Without any hesitation, Lu Yin directly used the talent skill of the Time-Space Sword Master.

The silver light of frozen time and space spread like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire Golden Arena.

The Will of Athena's thrusting spear of victory froze just three inches from the center of Lu Yin's back.

The golden light condensed on the spear tip maintained its posture as if about to explode, yet it could not advance even a fraction.

"Death Soul Slash!"

Lu Yin's breathing was slightly hurried as he turned back and slashed with his sword.

Clang!

However, just as Lu Yin thought this strike would surely hit, the Will of Athena actually raised her shield within the silver light.

Lu Yin was shocked; within the frozen time and space, the Will of Athena could still perform a defensive action?

Although it was only raising a shield, this was already far beyond his expectations.

Momentary Eternity was currently his strongest control skill; in the previous battle with the projection, it could immobilize it for more than a second.

But now, facing the true divine will, even if it was just a wisp, its resistance would be terrifyingly high.

The Will of Athena's arm holding the shield didn't budge an inch, and the frozen silver time and space now seemed like fragile glass.

Centered around the shield, countless spiderweb-like cracks spread out.

Crack!

Time resumed its flow, and Lu Yin felt an unmatched force erupt from that shield.

It was as if he had been struck head-on by a high-speed moving mountain, and his entire body flew back uncontrollably.

He crashed heavily into the invisible barrier at the edge of the arena, the barrier rippling with intense golden waves.

-13,657,896!

A damage number floated above Lu Yin's head, causing a mouthful of blood to surge up his throat, which he then forcibly swallowed back down.

Just a single counter-shock had cost him over ten million health points.

If he were actually hit by the opponent's attack, the consequences would certainly be unimaginable.

However, Lu Yin was not without trump cards.

He forcibly stabilized his body and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Chaotic Dance of Time and Space!"

With a low shout, the blade of annihilation in his hand turned into a blur of afterimages.

In an instant, the space where the Will of Athena stood became like paper that had been haphazardly shredded.

The trajectory of the blade of eternal silence's slashes was no longer a simple linear cut.

Instead, they existed simultaneously across multiple temporal layers, weaving into an inescapable web of death.

Chchchch!

A series of clashes, so dense they set one's teeth on edge, exploded almost simultaneously!

-1! -1! -1! -15,457,855! -1! -32,144,569! -1

...

A string of damage numbers jumped frantically, most of which were a mandatory -1.

This wasn't because Lu Yin's slashes couldn't break through her defense, but because they were perfectly parried by the Will of Athena.
