More to the point, Dick simply did not believe that Zayn possessed enough power to match him.The impasse continued. Zayn ducked and sidestepped a few more times while Dick threw more attacks each time he missed. Every assault came more aggressively than the last until Dick was basically firing a fusillade of fatal blows raining down on Zayn’s head and face.The cruise hall hardly had space for a fight like this, so the relentless, unintelligent barrages were beginning to lay some of the things within the room to waste. However, that was not the only kind of damage he made because the ship itself was starting to suffer the brunt.The titanic fleet began to rock a little more violently. Unlike the last time when it was due to turbulence, the ship was tethering from Dick’s headless attacks this time.“Enough! Stop being a d*ck! Do you really think I’m only doing this because I’m scared of you?” Zayn snapped, his ire rising.Dick sneered in disdain. “Is this all you’ve got, Zayn Lars
“Is that… the god of the sea?” Lindsay muttered to herself in a trance.The rest of the crowd flooded toward the deck and looked onward before freezing in shock themselves. It was impossible for anyone to understand how ridiculously awesome and epic the spectacle was without seeing it with their own eyes. Zayn stood on the surface of the sea, his body erect, with only the soles of his feet submerged. His stance was surprisingly stable too. Despite the bobbing waves and the gale billowing above the sea, he remained firm on his feet.It was a sight that shattered worldviews. They had never seen anyone who could stand atop of the surface of the sea like an erected rock. This, right here, was man once again subjugating nature with his strength—but this time, it was the might of the ocean!Several older folks among the crowd were overcome by such burning fervency that it bled into religiosity. Dropping to their knees with their face wrought with reverence, they cried in rapture, “It’s
Zayn felt amazing. He felt like he was on cloud nine, and he had not felt like this for a very long time. Out here on the surface of the sea, he saw only the ocean and its boundless expanse. It made him feel limitless.The spectators felt that same bursting sense of freedom from him, and they could not help but resonate with it. Their hearts fluttered before they pounded with jealousy and envy toward Zayn. Oh, his life was truly the only one worth living!They could earn as much money as they could, and yet they would never break away from the chains of being unremarkable, unspectacular mortals. Their lives were already doomed to the Sisyphean trap of mediocrity.Alas, Zayn Larson was above them all. The power to rule over others had become the banalest and least of his pursuit. He had long set his eyes way beyond these petty trivialities; breaking the limiting shackles of a human being. Transcending and mastering the universe were his real ambitions.Even the usually stoic Ray beg
Dick could feel Zayn’s encroaching aura, which caused him to wince slightly.A profound sense of icy dread pooled from the bottom of his heart. Could he have underestimated Zayn? Could he have made a grave mistake, and was he really severely unmatched?This little whiff of doubt lasted as long as a millisecond in his mind before Dick cast it out of his skull. As a powerful fighter who had achieved the third tier of the superior class and the combat instructor of the Wolf’s Fang squad, he would naturally possess the mental fortitude equal to his prestige and should not have been so easily intimidated by Zayn just like that. It took only a few seconds for the man to muster and reinforce his resolve to fight.He clashed with Zayn head-on.A battle across the surface of the ocean was new to both fighters, which was why it was the perfect showcase for the clash of power and skills between two superior class fighters. Even master fighters would find standing on the surface of water stead
Dick could feel the raw power from Zayn’s punch—and it was dangerous enough that his pupils constricted while his skin crawled.He took a deep breath, steeling himself with the knowledge that there was no way out of this. The only choice left was to fight fire with fire, using offense as defense. He had always been known for his unyielding brute force and his monstrous strength. He should be able to brace attacks from someone who was only as tall as 1.8 meters.Pow! Pow! Pow!Zayn launched into multiple consecutive punches without rest. More than five hundred punches were unleashed within a single minute—in other words, he dished out ten blows per second, which was pretty much the epitome of speed. Worse, every single punch held tremendous power rivaling a canon’s shot.Amazingly, Dick braced through them all. The melee switched locations every few seconds instead of remaining static. The two fighters’ shifting footwork meant they zipped through the ocean within a 5km radius in a t
The fresh blood immediately became diluted in the seawater. The stench of a master fighter’s blood was much stronger than an ordinary person’s. The coppery stench of the gulp of fresh blood that Dick spat out was equal to half the amount of blood in an ordinary person’s body. On the other hand, the stench of blood in the sea would draw sharks in in a heartbeat. Zayn’s kick was not gentle in the least. Dick’s enormous body slammed into the seawater akin to a cannonball and caused a large splash, and the resulting intense impact damaged his internal organs severely. The drag of water was very strong especially when Dick was traveling at such a high speed. It was no different from slamming onto the ground. One should know that the bullet of a rifle could only travel a meter in water before it lost its lethality. It was fortunate that they were two kilometers away from the cruise. Other than the four master fighters with extremely sharp vision, the rest of the people did not manage t
“How did the sharks get here? Dammit, Zayn is still in the sea! He’s in danger.”“Pull Mr. Larson up immediately. The lethality of these sharks is no joke!”“Mr. Larson, the sharks are here. It’s better for you to come up now!”Everyone shifted their gaze to Zayn. They were shouting for him to come up quickly while the crew tossed a lifeboat to Zayn. However, Zayn did not choose to come up. Instead, he did something that sent a shiver down everyone’s spines. He cracked a joyous smile, then soon afterward, he dove straight into the sea. Not only had he not swam away, but on the contrary, he swam right for the sharks rapidly!He wanted to attack the school of sharks!Oh God…The people on the deck were dumbstruck with bewilderment. They were completely petrified while Dick was terrified by the sight of Zayn as well. Zayn must have lost his mind for real. As the instructor of the Wolf’s Fang squad, Dick would not have had the courage to do something as wild as this even when he wa
Noticing their reaction, Zayn smiled though he did not feel too much emotion in his heart. He was not showing off. On the contrary, he was already used to being in a situation like this. After engaging in two ferocious fights consecutively earlier, he was feeling tired in spite of his superhuman fitness level. He said to Dick, “Instructor Cheney, it was a draw for our spar earlier, and both of us are equally matched. I don’t think that it’s necessary for us to continue to fight anymore. What do you think?”Dick was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Zayn to make a remark that showed him so much respect. The rest of the four master fighters assumed strange expressions on their faces similarly. While the others could not see the fight earlier, they saw it clearly with their eyes and knew that Dick was utterly no match for Zayn. Dick had been overpowered by Zayn and even got injured rather severely toward the end. By the time Dick reacted to the situation, he had a look of gra
He had already found his next path and he was hopeful for his future. He was convinced that he could reproduce the miracle perfectly if he had enough time!He turned around abruptly and saw Zayn’s icy cold face. He could not refrain himself from saying aloud, “Zayn! I’m your father-in-law! You can’t kill me!”There was a change of Zayn’s icy cold face at last when he heard that. He furrowed his brows for a moment. However, just as Osiris was pleased about his remark, Zayn had already thrown a punch. It was a simple, unadorned, straightforward, concise punch that landed heavily on Osiris’ chest. A poof that sounded like poking through a layer of paper was heard when he punched through Osiris’ chest. On the other hand, Osiris’ body halted to a stop as well. He widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered his head to look at his wound incredulously….“You… You…” He glared at Zayn, his gaze filled with recalcitrance, fear and regret. Zayn said nonchalantly, “You don’t deserve to be h
“You’re next.”Bang!Upon saying that, he exerted strength in his limbs and flew toward Osiris. Yes, he flew over. His body rose into the air and he was capable of standing steadily in the air without any support. He looked just like a superhero from the movies!Most importantly, he was extremely swift in speed and had already surpassed the speed limit achievable by mankind. Osiris felt an immense sense of danger that he had never felt before at this exact moment. It sent a shiver down his spine instantly and he was actually scared out of his wits that his body turned icy cold. He had a feeling that he was no match for Zayn and that he would die immediately if he stayed!Zayn who advanced beyond invincibilis state was way too powerful that he could not make sense anymore and he was no match for Zayn. He made the quickest and most precise decision that was to run. He would spare no effort in running away from Zayn!While there was life, there was hope. Zayn’s success prov
Hence, they did not have the courage to rescue Zayn even after noticing that he was in imminent danger. They could only watch helplessly and do nothing. “Look! That’s Sergeant Larson! Oh god, what transpired in the past few days? Why is Sergeant Larson being surrounded by so many powerhouses from the clubs? He can’t possibly escape from danger under such circumstances no matter how powerful he is!”“Oh no, oh no, Sergeant Larson is going to die here…”“What should we do? Could it be that we’re not going to do anything to save him?”“I don’t know. Let’s ask for instructions from our superior…”The numerous combat aircraft in the sky began to send out signals and asked for instruction from their superior. Soon, they received the reply and they were instructed not to act rashly or approach easily. It was because they would be doomed if they were to get closer and enter the attack zone of the invincibilis powerhouses. Hence, they could only watch from afar and await reinforcement
Upon saying that, Zayn placed Faye on the ground in an extremely gentle and cautious manner. Faye’s body had already become stiff, but her body had actually begun to turn soft after being caressed by Zayn’s palm. She lay flat on the ground with an expression that looked like she was asleep. After Zayn was done, he turned around and looked toward Osiris, his expression icy cold. He said nonchalantly, “It’s your fault that Fifi is dead. You deserve to die.”Next, his gaze swept across everyone and said something that terrified everyone, “All of you deserve to die!”Upon hearing that, Osiris’ expression turned somber and filled with murderous intent abruptly. He had already realized by now that his hard work and effort of a lifetime was wasted on Zayn!At the moment he found Faye in her aging state completely drained of life and power, he realized that his plan had failed!The result of his hard work for a lifetime was seized by the bastard before him!In an instant, his rage
“Zayn’s willpower is so strong that he is capable of withstanding the pain of his body’s restructuring indifferently. He’s an excellent talent.” The person speaking was the armored man and he was looking at Zayn through the cloud without attempting to conceal his admiration. He had encountered plenty of geniuses and countless geniuses more gifted in martial arts than Zayn. However, Zayn was the only ine whose willpower was so strong that he could endure the pain of body restructuring. Even he himself failed to withstand the pain of body restructuring and had rolled on the ground frantically. The woman nodded to herself as she looked at Zayn without attempting to conceal her admiration and approval. “This Earther is quite impressive. He has already taken the step successfully. My trip to Earth was not wasted this time…huh?”However, it was at this exact moment when Zayn on the ground raised his head and looked in their direction with his sharp gaze as if he could sense them.
Zayn wanted to reject her instinctively, but when he saw the final hopefulness in Faye’s eyes, he could not bring himself to reject her anymore. He knew that it was Faye’s final moment.The glint in Faye’s eyes was vanishing gradually. He opened his mouth and of all the words he wanted to say to her in her last moment, he said, “Yes!”Upon hearing the word, Faye’s aged face cracked a smile. Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternity…Zayn’s body stiffened as well. He had already forgotten how he landed on the ground, but he remained in the same position with Faye in his arms for a very long time. He hugged Faye until her residual body temperature dispersed and her body began to become stiff. Zayn was heartbroken. He felt a feeling of dejection and hollowness that he had never experienced before and it washed over his entire body like a flood. He lost track of time until he felt the rain pouring from the sky. Even the sky could feel his sorrow and began to w
Zayn had never felt so agonized in his life!It was because he knew that Faye was already at the end of her life, not even God could save her now!He had no idea why his heart would ache so badly and why he hated himself so much. It was well within his expectation that both Faye and him would not survive the fall. Now, he was in so much agony just because Faye was one step ahead of him in death. Was he in agony because Faye sacrificed her life for his survival, or was it because he would not see Faye again for the rest of his life?Zayn’s mind could not function normally anymore because he was in so much pain and tormented now. His body was still dropping constantly and at an increasing speed. They were dropping so fast that Faye could not withstand the process and was suffocating. After seeing Faye’s condition, Zayn did not even think. He began to stop his body from falling at full speed instinctively as he was born to do it until he became completely suspended in the air!I
Upon saying that, Faye kissed Zayn’s lips. It was a kiss so deep and unhindered. Zayn hugged Faye tightly as well. In the beginning, he was under the assumption that it was a very normal kiss. It was their final sentimentality before death. However, Zayn discovered that something was off soon!It was because he could clearly feel a gush of immense power passing from Faye’s mouth constantly. The intensity of the power had even surpassed that of the fruits he consumed in Shangri-la. The unexpected change caught him off guard and he was dumbfounded instantly. He did not manage to respond to the situation. What the heck was going on?He widened his eyes and stared at Faye before him. However, he soon saw something that sent a shiver down his spine. Faye’s hair turned from black to white swiftly at a visible speed!Moreover, Faye’s fair, tender skin aged constantly as if life was drained from her instantly. Her skin turned wrinkly and dry like a tree bark. The situation did
“Listen to my order, all members!”Meanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . “Locate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!”Upon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. Meanwhile, two people stood at a mysterious location that no one could see above Regicide Heofon’s ground. These two people were a man and a woman. The man was clad in armor and assumed the posture of an army general, filled with dominance. He exuded a powerful presence that had already surpassed the level of all powerhouses on earth. Even Osiris and Zayn were nothing in this man’s presence. On the other hand, the woman stood in front of the man. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairy…The woman had her head lowered to look at the cliff ahead of her and cracked a peculiar smile. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
