Chapter 5884 Harsh Light

Chapter 5884 Harsh Light

Cutting off the arm of his opponent was the first real damage that Ves managed to inflict on the clone of the God King.

Ves, Blinky and Caramond had all pushed themselves to their limit and maybe even beyond in order to attain this remarkable result.

Of course, the explosion that ensued right afterwards had dealt a powerful blow to the trio.

None of them came out of this incident unscathed.

"The detestable aliens never play fair. None of them have proven to be capable of taking their losses with grace."

Caramond suffered such a strong backlash that his ongoing transition had been set back due to all of the damage he endured. Though the exposure and restoration of his injuries would ultimately result in developing a stronger foundation, the problem was that it would take even longer before he attained the full power of a True God!

"Mrow..."

Blinky had been overworking himself during this entire 'duel'. As impressive as it was for him to channel the power of a True God-level entity, his actual cultivation was far weaker than the entity residing in the center of the Spark Reactor!

Working with fire energy was like handling lava barehanded. If not for the assistance provided by Caramond, the huge concentration of volatile energies would have caused Blinky to immolate himself.

As for Ves himself, the latest blow had dealt serious damage to his Spirituality. It had cracked, healed, cracked and healed so many times that he truly felt bone tired at this time.

It became harder for him to maintain his consciousness and keep up his awareness when all of the fire and lightning damage wore out his mind and dulled his edge.

The consequences were serious. As he dug himself out of a broken and shattered sensor array on the side of the hull, Ves realized that the explosion generated by cutting off the arm of the clone had pushed him to his breaking point.

He had already reached his limit just by maintaining his current empowered state. Already, Blinky was unable to channel as much fire energy as before, causing the heavily-damaged fire energy raiment to collapse and dissipate into the environment.

It was as if Ves had exhausted the durability of his equipment. Armor plating crumbled apart. His wrist and shoulder-mounted weapon systems melted from his body. The energy weapon hardpoints that comprised of his imitation ARCEUS System lost their shape and disappeared from view.

Ves felt a lot weaker than before despite the fact that the latest round of lightning baptism should have boosted his growth by a hefty margin.

In an ideal reality, Ves would have been able to digest the tribulation energies in an instant and leverage his newfound strength at peak efficiency.

However, he and his partners were all held back by their mortal weaknesses and limitations. ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

None of them possessed the capacity to recover from their injuries in an instant.

It did not matter that they had access to a seemingly endless supply of fire energy from the Spark Reactor. Having access to lots of energy did not mean that Ves and the rest were qualified to wield it in battle.

They had been trying to fight by swinging the equivalent of oversized clubs throughout this entire bout. That had netted them good results, but there was a limit to everything. Their arms ultimately grew too tired to swing their weapons any further.

Of course, that was not a reason for Ves, Blinky and Caramond to give up. There was too much at stake in this fight.

According to the rules that governed tribulation manifestations, their bodies may be formed out of energy, but they were supposed to mimic the physiques of their organic counterparts as much as possible.

This meant that the loss of a limb should form a crippling injury. Unless a member of the so-called krelion race was able to regenerate physical injuries in an instant, the clone of the Subjugation King should have lost a lot of combat effectiveness!

As Ves steadily maneuvered his giant and half-covered true body out of the wrecked section of the ship, he immediately tried to ascertain the state of his adversary.

The good news was that the arm of the clone remained absent.

Already, Ves could see that the nearest sections of the broken and torn hull sections of the dreadnought were beginning to weaken and collapse under the tyrannical light.

There was nothing warm, gentle or pure about the light released by the clone of the Subjugation King.

This was the cruel and merciless light of the cosmos that disintegrated anything that failed to endure its brightness!

If the actual God King was here, then the Subjugation King would probably be able to destroy entire planets and star systems just by shining his all-powerful light at full power.

This was the true strength of a krelion God King!

"Ngh..."

Ves struggled to maintain his strength under all of this radiance. The light was so overbearing that simply getting illuminated by it was already beginning to destabilize his true body and fraying his already worn Spirituality even further!

Caramond was able to endure the radiance a bit better, but Blinky found himself unable to channel as much fire energy as before due to the increased pressure.

Their hopes started to dwindle as this continuous attack had already pushed them over the edge.

There was no way they could proceed forward and interrupt the clone's tyrannical attack method under these conditions.

Ves already started to see spots in his eyes due to all of the brightness around him. He struggled to figure out a way to overcome this latest challenge.

"Wait a second."

He had almost forgotten about them, but he still had a few cards left to play!

Ves did not even hesitate when he executed his latest plan.

He first folded his true body back into a different space. This shrunk his gigantic form and dramatically decreased how much of it got exposed to the God King's damaging light.

He then proceeded to summon the singed but functional Flower Parasol out of his System Space and immediately utilized its flower-embroidered canopy to shield him from the light.

"Ahhh!"

It turned out that the Flower Parasol fared exceptionally well under the current circumstances!

It sort of made sense as a parasol was not only designed to block the rain, but also the harsh light of a hot day.

The parasol actually acted like a flower that was eagerly soaking the light generated by a local star. Its capacity to absorb light was quite high. Ves did not have to worry about the artifact drying out in the immediate future.

The reprieve was incredibly helpful, but Ves was not done with his plan of action.

He retrieved another object out of his System Space. The Qi Restoration Potion did not feel particularly strong, but it generated an undeniable sense of attraction now that Ves had been driven to a state of exhaustion.

There was no reason to hesitate. Ves fumbled around before emptying the entire contents through his gullet in a single motion!

He did not have to wait too long to feel the effects of this mysterious potion. A new wellspring of energy began to form in his stomach. It churned and sent out waves of refreshment that quickly encompassed his Spirituality!

His eyes widened as he started to feel his exhaustion receding!

"It's working!"
