648: Chapter 700: Intending to Block the Path to Promotion!

Above the clouds on the 99th floor.

An Ke locked eyes with Azure, who was leaning on the throne with one hand.

Neither side spoke, quietly watching each other.

The ultimate destination, where the entire universe expected a massive war to break out, was terrifyingly quiet.

However, Azure was the first to speak.

"Heh~ An Ke, aren't you planning to stop my corruption of Ascension Peak?"

"Why are you still so calm?"

An Ke pondered for a moment and said something that shocked everyone.

"You have already succeeded. What else is there for me to stop?"

"What?!"

Inside the New World, everyone was shocked.

The Disorderly Existence had already successfully corrupted Ascension Peak?

Doesn't that mean the opponent is no longer bound by Ascension Peak?

If that's true, the situation is very bad.

It means An Ke has nowhere to hide.

He can only be forced to fight Azure.

The key isn't that the opponent is stronger than An Ke, but that An Ke cannot easily kill them.

If he can't kill them, he'll be constantly entangled by the Disorderly Existence, eventually sinking into a quagmire and being killed.

For a moment, the atmosphere became incredibly oppressive.

Failed before even starting to stop it.

This feeling is truly unpleasant.

"Oh~"

The Disorderly Existence was quite surprised. "An Ke, you really are clever."

"I've been watching you since you entered the game."

"Honestly, after watching you all this time, I really like you~"

An Ke shook his head and laughed. "Does an existence like you also like to say such disgusting things?"

"If you really like me, then why don't you obediently let me devour and fuse with you?"

In reality, the current An Ke couldn't fuse with Azure.

Because he possessed authority and had reached godhood.

Before him, An Ke's level was lower than his.

Even with one authority, An Ke felt he still couldn't fuse with Azure.

After all, the opponent possessed two authorities...

"No, no, no!"

The Disorderly Existence sat up straight. "The two are different."

"Liking you doesn't mean I'm willing to give up my life~"

"On the other hand, you Ordered Existences."

"Actually, I think you should surrender to me."

"I've thought about it for a long time. If I eventually devour you all, I'll fall back into a slumber for who knows how long."

"It's very boring."

"If you surrender to me, I can let you continue playing the game and survive within it."

An Ke sneered repeatedly.

He couldn't agree with the Disorderly Existence's words.

"Alright, stop this useless nonsense."

"It's impossible for us to reach any reconciliation. Whether to fight or something else, say the word."

From above, Azure laughed heartily. "An Ke, this isn't useless nonsense; it's very important."

"That's right! Extremely important~~"

An Ke frowned slightly.

He felt the Disorderly Existence was plotting something, but he couldn't guess what.

But since the opponent was plotting and hadn't chosen to act...

Then he would just be the first to move.

With a thought from An Ke, he instantly appeared above Azure's head.

"Let me see what kind of face you have under that mask."

An Ke's fist struck directly at the crown of Azure's head.

But this fierce punch was blocked by Azure raising a single hand.

Effortlessly.

There was no difficulty to speak of.

It was like catching a tennis ball he had thrown up.

"An Ke, don't be in such a hurry..."

An Ke didn't listen and kicked again.

Originally, Azure was sitting below An Ke.

But this kick missed, as the opponent and the throne appeared to the side.

Yet Azure's hand was still holding An Ke's fist.

An Ke snorted coldly. The next second, the high-backed chair Azure was leaning on suddenly moved.

Guillotines extended from both sides and then chopped down on Azure.

Instantly slicing Azure into countless pieces.

[Elemental Affinity]!!

"Success!?"

Inside the New World, everyone saw this and showed expressions of joy.

But soon, Azure, who had turned into countless pieces, suddenly chuckled.

Then he fused back together, and the high-backed chair behind him returned to its original form.

He was still sitting on the high-backed chair.

Inside the New World, the crowd's joy instantly vanished.

"Was this guy just fooling with us?"

"Damn it!"

"He was clearly sliced into countless pieces, yet he's still not dead."

"..."

Everyone cursed incessantly.

Meanwhile, at the top, An Ke's consciousness body, also sitting in a high-backed chair, was surveying the scene.

Now that he had reached Sequence Nine, he could control the vast majority of the source.

Could he use some method to restrict Azure's authority?

The sky, the sea...

An Ke fell into deep thought.

In the game, he continued to attack Azure.

Outside Ascension Peak.

The other fungal bodies retreated one after another, using various stealth methods.

Since Azure was no longer bound by Ascension Peak, he had to leave a backup for himself.

Otherwise, if all the fungal bodies were killed by Azure, he would truly die.

Fortunately, Azure showed no intention of leaving Ascension Peak; he had just been playing around this entire time.

Why was that?

An Ke didn't quite understand.

Just then, the clouds beneath his feet suddenly seemed to come alive, extending arm after arm.

Arms made of the sky.

Countless arms reached for An Ke, intending to seize him.

The next second, the auspicious clouds turned into dark thunderclouds.

Lightning began to brew within them.

Soon, the lightning transformed into "chains" that swept toward An Ke.

Faced with these attacks, An Ke could only dodge as much as possible.

With nowhere left to hide, An Ke tried to harmonize with these elements, but all attempts failed.

Accompanied by the roar of lightning and the pounce of countless arms made of clouds.

An Ke was restrained.

No matter how he struggled, it was in vain.

"Heh~ An Ke, stop struggling." Azure grinned.

"The gap in our status is a chasm you cannot cross."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Azure saw the restrained An Ke disappear.

To be precise, he had turned into a cloud of dust.

"That's... fungal colonies?!"

Azure watched as countless fungal colonies landed and turned into many An Kes.

For a moment, he was surrounded.

Yet Azure remained composed, shaking his head with a laugh. "An Ke, this trait of yours is truly a headache."

"It's simply everywhere."

"However, as long as I want to, all of you in this area would disappear with a single strike from me."

"But doing that would be far too boring."

"I've learned a phrase recently: 'to kill the person and destroy the heart.'"

"An Ke, you're stalling for time just to wait for your ascension to godhood, aren't you..."

"I suppose you still don't know the way to ascend to godhood?"

"Come, let's sit down and have a good chat."

"I'll tell you the way to ascend to godhood."

Inside the New World, gazes turned toward An Ke.

Everyone was very surprised why the Disorderly Existence would proactively bring up the matter of ascending to godhood.

Wasn't he afraid An Ke would take the opportunity to ascend?

However, in the outside world, the faces of nobles like Fama and Tike changed drastically.

"This guy intends to..."

They now understood why Azure had said his words were important earlier.

This guy intended to cut off An Ke's path to ascension...
