Chapter 141 Breaking the Darkness with Thunder
When the smoke cleared, the pitch-black giant hand only had a few minor gaps from the air-to-air missile blasts, but the surge of death energy on the giant hand instantly repaired the gaps.
Classic, smoke but no harm!
Icarus looked at the giant hand pressing down on her. At her speed of Mach 24, Icarus could have easily dodged it, but she did not.
A blue octagonal shield unfolded in front of her, blocking the incoming black giant hand.
The giant hand slammed into the blue shield, but to Alex and the others' surprise, the seemingly fragile shield was as solid as a rock and did not budge at all!
It was as if it were an impregnable city wall, steadily resisting the sudden attack of death.
The moment the giant hand made contact with the shield, it unleashed a violent shockwave, sending dust flying wherever it passed.
The Absolute Defense Circle is Icarus's strongest defensive measure. In the anime, apart from Astraea's Hypervibrating Particle Lightsaber, no weapon can break through Icarus's defense, so it's normal that he easily blocked the Grim Reaper's attack.
Death was not annoyed to see his attack blocked by Icarus, and instead controlled his giant hand to attack the shield again.
The giant black hand clenched its fist and pounded the shield again and again.
boom! boom! boom!
The sounds of impact echoed continuously in the courtyard, violent and rapid!
Under the relentless onslaught of death, the entire villa began to tremble violently, teetering on the brink of collapse. The once-solid walls cracked, and all the windows shattered into pieces.
Each impact generated a powerful shockwave that made Alex and the others feel that the villa could collapse at any moment and turn into ruins.
Compared to the villa's performance, the absolute defense perimeter remains as immovable as a mountain.
"This turtle shell is really hard! However, there is no absolutely solid shield in this world! Even the strongest defense has weaknesses."
As the death god's voice faded, the fists that had been relentlessly bombarding the area suddenly stopped and instantly disintegrated.
The death energy spread through the space like smoke, then quickly enveloped the entire Absolute Defense Circle. The dense black mist clung tightly to the Absolute Defense Circle, leaving no gaps.
As this death energy enveloped them, the originally bright light within the absolute defense circle instantly dimmed.
Within the absolute defensive perimeter, a faint yet chilling death energy was quietly seeping in through the tiny gaps in the shield. These fine black threads seemed to possess a life of their own, relentlessly spreading into the shield and gradually approaching Alex and the others.
They wriggled within the absolute defense perimeter, like countless tiny tentacles.
Each black line exudes an aura of decay and death, sending chills down one's spine. As time goes by, these black lines multiply.
Seeing the black line about to touch her body, Terri panicked and quickly moved towards Li Qing, seeking his protection.
Seeing that Icarus's defenses had been breached, Li Qing naturally couldn't stand idly by.
If they don't act soon, Alex and his men will be doomed here.
In the final showdown between the magic side and the science fiction side, the magic side emerged victorious.
Icarus's weapons are indeed incredibly powerful, easily destroying large areas and defeating many powerful enemies. However, when facing a cunning and unpredictable opponent like Death, Icarus's power is somewhat limited.
Just like Daddy said: use magic to defeat magic!
Faced with the unknown, Icarus's singular attack method was severely countered by the Grim Reaper.
"Icarus, dispel the absolute defense circle," Li Qing said, standing up from the beach chair.
Lightning crackled and surged in Li Qing's hands, poised to strike.
"Yes, Master."
Although Icarus didn't understand why Lee Sin wanted her to lower her defenses, she trusted her master and believed he must have his reasons.
With the absolute defense barrier disarmed, endless death energy immediately pressed inward.
The lightning bolt in Li Qing's hand also flew out the instant the absolute defense circle was dispelled.
The fist-sized ball of lightning disappeared into the darkness. Compared to the endless darkness, the lightning bolt that Li Qing threw out seemed rather insignificant.
However, in the very next instant, the situation took an astonishing turn!
As if a long-suppressed power had finally erupted, countless dazzling bolts of lightning suddenly burst forth in the endless darkness, unleashing terrifying power that made one's heart tremble.
Break the darkness with thunder!
The darkness, a symbol of death and decay, proved vulnerable under the onslaught of lightning, instantly torn into countless fragments before dissipating into the world.
......
With the black mist no longer obstructing them, the figure of Death reappeared before everyone's eyes.
Li Qing looked up at Death and said, "Is it interesting for a god to constantly toy with ordinary people?"
"A person's fate is determined the moment they are born. If you intervene, are you trying to fight against fate?"
Death listened to Li Qing's speech, a disdainful smile appearing on his face hidden under his cloak.
"Hahaha!"
"Toying with those weak humans is indeed quite interesting. Besides, as the Grim Reaper, whoever I want to die, must die! What's wrong with that!"
"I am death!"
No one can escape death!
"Some people, having acquired some insignificant ability, dream of escaping from me—that's utterly delusional!"
"Over the past few thousand years, many people have gained the so-called ability to foresee death. Even if they manage to escape once, so what! In the end, they all die at my hands. No one can survive my schemes; their only fate is death!"
"The same goes for the other 287 people. Consider it my great mercy to let them live a few more days."
Alex and the others below felt a chill run down their spines.
I never imagined that Death would be so ruthless, treating human life like dirt.
"Looks like there's nothing left to talk about."
Li Qing took a deep breath and then slowly spread his hands out to the sides.
If there's nothing to talk about, then the only solution is to fight.
As Li Qing moved, two dazzling bolts of lightning suddenly shot out from his palms and quickly condensed into two lightning longswords in the air. The longswords were blue all over, with strands of electricity jumping on the blades and making a "crackling" sound.
The next moment, Li Qing's body suddenly shot towards the Grim Reaper in the air.
Li Qing moved with lightning speed, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky. His speed was astonishing, even to the point that Death was caught off guard and couldn't react in time. Li Qing appeared in front of Death in an instant, wielding his sword with both hands, and with an incomparably fierce aura, he slashed down hard at Death's head.
This strike was as powerful as a thunderbolt, as if it would tear the entire world apart!
The twin swords easily sliced through the Grim Reaper's cloak and aimed at his head.
As the thunderous swords clashed, the figure of the Grim Reaper in front of Li Qing was split in two, and the separated corpses turned into a wisp of black mist and dissipated into the air.
