Chapter 2540 Antithetical

Ieyasu narrowed his eyes as he witnessed just how powerful the Forge of Creation was. It allowed Rui to create a technique that was just so astronomically antithetical to the attacks that Ieyasu had deployed that he was able to entirely negate whatever was thrown at him. And yet, Ieyasu was just getting started.

FWOOOOOSH!!!

An inferno of heat erupted from Ieyasu, coursing against Rui and threatening to incinerate him where he stood.

And yet—

WHOOSH

The inferno died the moment it came near Rui, as though inherently unwilling to hurt him. In reality, Rui had simply deployed a new technique, the Blizzard of Breath, which not only partially employed the fundamental building blocks of Niflheim to lower temperatures but also manipulated heavens to flush the region immediately around him with carbon dioxide to stop the conflagration from spreading.

WHOOSH

And in that moment, Ieyasu had already arrived behind him with a sharp spearhand jab, threatening to impale him.

CRACK CRACK CRACK!

Ieyasu's eyes widened as he felt his fingers crack upon contact with Rui's skin.

It had suddenly become rock-hard!

Adamantatine Skin was a technique that made his skin extremely hard and durable. It did this by reducing the temperature of his skin to extremely low degrees and then passing a current through it, causing it to harden through the principles of electrohardening. In other words, Rui could turn his skin extremely firm and strong on demand.

On top of that, he just needed to make it hard enough to exceed the strength of Ieyasu's finger joints, causing the latter's own power to inflict damage on himself. This was the solution provided by the CREATION System against these particular circumstances.

Ieyasu swiftly healed his fingers before manipulating earth to erupt an immense uprising of spikes from the ground to impale Rui where he stood. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

And yet, they never came.

STEP

Rui pressed his foot into the ground, increasing the coefficient of friction and drag within the depths of the ground, relying on heat and sound to increase the amount of resistance that Ieyasu experienced before the spikes could even reach him.

Nor did he have to rely on taxing bodily transformations of the Metabody System that consumed stamina and could not be used indefinitely.

From this day forth, his Martial Art techniques themselves would possess an extraordinary amount of adaptive evolution.

And the power it offered was very clearly on display at the moment.

And yet, Rui was merely getting started.

WHOOSH

He appeared before Ieyasu in the blink of an eye.

"My turn now."

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

He blasted Ieyasu with a maelstrom of blows, one after another. Yin-Yang Spears threatened to batter Ieyasu.

And yet, Ieyasu calmly weathered them.

BOOOM!!!

The Yin-Yang Shield of Heaven and Earth was one of the most powerful defensive techniques that Ieyasu had ever created through assimilation. It drew vibrations from not just his body but also heaven and earth, resulting in vibrations that dwarfed that of the Yin-Yang Spear.

And thus, Rui evolved the technique then and there with the Forge of Creation.

He merged the principles of Flux Earther with the principles of the Yin-Yang Spear. Not only did he rely on the internal vibrations of Yin and Yang, he also absorbed the resistive power of Ieyasu's Yin-Yang Shield of Heaven and Earth as if it was an attack and he was using Flux Earther.

And instead of harmlessly dispersing the impact away with Reverberating Lance in his feet, he instead used it to push forward harder with his legs, generating even greater thrust.

And thus was born the second-most powerful attack he had ever created in his entire life.

BOOOOOM!!!
