Colonial Suit

#576 - Strength is not the only thing

Three black-armored humanoids stood like three small mountains before Blood瞳. They emanated no aura, no imposing presence, appearing as mere massive, inanimate objects.

Yet, Blood瞳's pupils narrowed slightly as he recalled the image of them receiving his hand blade.

Though hastily executed, that hand blade was not to be underestimated in power. The fact that they had effortlessly received it spoke volumes about the immense strength beneath their black armor. Even more unsettling was their resemblance to bio-suits, giving Blood瞳 the sensation of battling himself.

However, he had no time for further contemplation. As his eyes narrowed, the foremost black-armored humanoid charged towards him in a few strides, raising a foot for a devastating stomp.

With a deafening boom, the ground within dozens of meters of Blood瞳 caved in, a powerful shockwave violently scattering debris in all directions, instantly forming a massive ring. At the epicenter of the attack, Blood瞳 felt as if all air had been instantaneously evacuated, and his entire being was crushed by a colossal hammer.

It was power! Pure, unadulterated physical power.

No energy manipulation, no rule governance, not even an extension of will. The black-armored humanoid's simple stomp generated a force akin to a direct hit from a warship's cannon, an astonishing display of sheer intensity. An ordinary person, or even a typical Comet-class warrior, would undoubtedly feel immense pressure under such absolute strength, possibly even succumbing to it.

But Blood瞳 merely flashed his eyes, raising a single hand to meet the descending foot.

Compared to the three-meter-tall black-armored humanoid, Blood瞳 was pitifully small. The action seemed as futile as a mantis attempting to stop a chariot. Yet, just as his palm was about to make contact, he suddenly twisted his wrist, his fingers opening and closing before violently swinging downward in a motion of guiding and slamming.

Boom! The black-armored humanoid's foot slammed into the ground beside Blood瞳, creating an unfathomable pit, yet without affecting Blood瞳 in the slightest. The sharp shockwave spread along Blood瞳's side, ruffling his hair.

All this occurred in a mere tenth of a second, as fast as lightning. But in that fleeting instant, Blood瞳 weaved forward, instantly appearing before the black-armored humanoid. His height was only 1.7 meters, making him seem exceptionally insignificant compared to the three-meter-tall figure. Yet, as if oblivious to the difference, he instantly reached out and seized the humanoid's head, following up with a knee strike.

With a resounding thud, the black-armored humanoid's head snapped back as if struck by a ten-thousand-jin hammer. The faceplate shattered, exploding in a shower of fine black light.

Blood瞳, however, gave no quarter. In that very instant, his right leg snaked around the black-armored humanoid's neck like a viper. Then, with a burst of power from his waist, his entire body performed a three-hundred-sixty-degree flip in the air like a monstrous python.

Mercenary strangulation technique… 'Lian Shan Fall!'

With a deafening crash, under Blood瞳's terrifying explosive force, the black-armored humanoid was spun around like a whirlwind, plunging headfirst into the very hole it had created earlier, leaving only its ankles exposed.

In a mere instant, Blood瞳 had driven one of the black-armored humanoids into the ground, his attack so swift it could only be described as lightning fast.

But this was just the beginning. Almost as soon as the attack was completed, sonic booms erupted around Blood瞳. His entire being vanished from the spot, reappearing a hundred meters in front of Leicester Law.

Capture the leader to capture the army, Blood瞳 knew better than anyone how to strike at the enemy's vital point. And in terms of speed, he feared no one.

Instantly, a storm arose, the violent wind pressure filling the surrounding hundreds of meters, making even breathing a luxury. Blood瞳's figure shot out from the storm, truly like a black line tearing through the heavens, his imposing presence astonishing. Yet, Leicester Law didn't even raise an eyebrow, still looking at his chessboard.

Behind him, the remaining three battle attendants stood silently, as if they hadn't seen Blood瞳's sudden attack.

This bizarre scene immediately caused Blood瞳's heart to sink. But he had no time to hesitate. He gritted his teeth and erupted once more.

Bang!!

A white shockwave exploded in the sky. Blood瞳's speed reached the limit of physical rules in an instant, becoming impossible to see. At the same time, his right arm was pulled back completely. His thin right fist, in its rapid state, actually dragged a long shadow of light in the air. Then, he swung it violently forward.

Silently, space twisted, as if a canvas being pulled away, completely concentrated towards the center of his fist. Endless darkness surged from the depths of his fist, as if even this heaven and earth would be swallowed within.

Force field control, compression, super-compression.

Gravity five thousand times.

Gravity Fist!

This was Blood瞳's strongest fist technique!!

From the first contact with the force field, Blood瞳 had never stopped his perception of power. Perhaps he didn't have much advanced knowledge, and he wouldn't analyze and model power from data. But he possessed a natural desire for power. Through keen touch and intuition, he integrated his understanding into his fist techniques. How much hardship he went through was unknown to outsiders. He once summarized his power into four types of fist energy. But this time's Gravity Fist was a further step, combining the shock penetration of the fist energy with the diffusion compression of the force field, unleashing incredible power.

This was a fist technique truly born for destruction. When Blood瞳 exerted his full strength, even a planet would have its balance broken.

A destruction technique that isn't a destruction technique. This was the definition Blood瞳 made for this fist technique. So from the moment he mastered this fist technique, Blood瞳 had never used it in actual combat. Not because he didn't want to, but because there was no suitable space.

No star core could withstand the explosive force of his full punch. Even if it wasn't destroyed, it would produce unpredictable consequences due to the disruption of balance.

But today, Blood瞳 used it without hesitation.

Firstly, because this wasn't normal space, and secondly, because he had no other choice.

As an ancient Grand Overlord, Leicester Law was clearly stronger and more terrifying than any opponent Blood瞳 had encountered. He looked weak, but his power was everywhere. And the three black-armored humanoids he released carried the power of the entire legion, giving Blood瞳 an extreme sense of pressure.

For this test, Blood瞳 had been fighting tirelessly in this space for seven days, paying a great price. His companions had died one by one, and even if it wasn't true death, it made Blood瞳 feel the taste of weakness. After so many days of fighting, a raging fire had long risen in his heart. At this moment, it could no longer be suppressed.

With one punch, the world changed color!!

In an instant, the entire space seemed to be drawn by Blood瞳, following Blood瞳 forward like a canvas. The mere hundred meters distance didn't even take a moment. Blood瞳's fist was about to reach Leicester Law.

In this almost-stagnant moment, Blood瞳 could even see the look of surprise on Leicester Law's face.

But it ended there!!

The next moment, Blood瞳's fist slammed heavily into Leicester Law's face, tearing apart his flesh and soul together!

With a crisp sound like breaking a mirror, Leicester Law suddenly shattered in front of Blood瞳. Endless antimatter poured out from Blood瞳's fingers, staining his fist with a thick blackness. Unknowingly, Blood瞳's fist was already scarred, with dents everywhere where it had been neutralized.

One punch injures the enemy and injures oneself, truly living up to its name.

But Blood瞳's face showed no joy, instead, he took a deep breath, revealing a trace of surprise.

He was a master of hand-to-hand combat. It could be said that among mercenaries of the same level, there was probably no one more skilled in close combat than him. But precisely because of this, Blood瞳 felt a trace of something wrong.

He didn't have the feeling of defeating the opponent.

This wasn't a tactile sensation, just a kind of inexplicable intuition. But because of this, Blood瞳 firmly believed it. Looking at Leicester Law's broken fragments, a sense of unease suddenly surged in Blood瞳's heart. Then he felt a blur before his eyes, and Leicester Law actually disappeared without a trace, replaced by a huge black-armored humanoid.

It was the battle attendant he had previously driven into the earth.

But at this moment, he had been torn apart by the Gravity Fist, his entire body like a shattered mirror, with cracks everywhere. A huge hole, going straight through to his back, appeared in his chest. Inside, one could even see the shattered tendons and internal organs. The pale white bone stubs were already broken into pieces. It looked like there was no way for him to survive.

Blood瞳's punch had completely shattered his vitality. Even if he had stronger regenerative power, he wouldn't survive. Although the exterior still maintained the basic shape, everything inside had been destroyed by Blood瞳 from the cellular level. He had completely become an inanimate object.

How could this be!?

Blood瞳 was shocked.

This wasn't the result he wanted!

Although his punch had yielded amazing results, the problem was that his target wasn't this battle attendant, but Leicester Law! Without defeating Leicester Law, any result was meaningless!

Slightly startled, Blood瞳 suddenly felt two forces attacking him from the left and right. He immediately jumped up without hesitation, doing a backflip to retreat.

As soon as he dodged, two huge figures approached from the left and right, colliding with Blood瞳's previous position in an instant. A terrifying shockwave erupted, pushing Blood瞳 out like a bullet.

While still in mid-air, he saw Leicester Law's figure reappear on the giant rock, smiling faintly at him.

"You have one more chance."

Leicester Law said this, casually taking a chess piece from the chessboard.

It was one of the last three chess pieces he had placed, now shattered into pieces, leaving only fragments.

"You are excellent. But I think you should understand that power is not the only thing in this universe."
