"But as for attribute values, without any enhancents, whether my Peak Third Tier actual constitution is stronger or the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's Peak Fourth Tier constitution is stronger still remains an unknown matter."
Zhang Yanhang tended to believe that his strength was slightly superior to that of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant. After all, he had just recently leveled up the Power System Talent, Longbo's Power, and besides, even if his regular strength wasn't greater, he believed that his strength with all kinds of enhancents would definitely surpass that of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant.
After checking the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's attribute list, Zhang Yanhang looked at his Shield Value and found that in just a short while, it had been reduced by over a thousand points by those Doomsday Fireballs, each sized like a two-story building.
According to Zhang Yanhang's observations, the Crimson Iron Queen Ant could spit out two Doomsday Fireballs per second, each subtracting one hundred and fifty points from his Shield Value, "At this rate, wouldn't my Energy Shield only last a hundred seconds?"
Fortunately, Zhang Yanhang estimated that he could probably end the battle within a minute.
Just as Zhang Yanhang was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a massive gathering of fla energy on the body of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant.
This fla energy assembled on the outside of its body, using the original small appendages of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant as a base, eventually forming two rows of Fla Crab Legs that were at least six stories tall, and also ford a pair of Fla Crab Claws in front of it that were wider than its body by dozens of ters.
The substantially ford Fla Crab Legs below the Crimson Iron Queen Ant pushed hard, propelling its massive body, comparable to a destroyer, to stand up. Imdiately upon standing, it displayed astonishing speed. Charging straight towards Zhang Yanhang at subsonic speeds that matched its seventy-five-point Agility Attribute.
By that point, Zhang Yanhang had finally understood why the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's Agility Attribute could reach seventy-five points, "But the question is, shouldn't crabs walk sideways?"
However, in such a magical mythical system, it seed entirely unnecessary to fixate on such biological knowledge. Besides, certain species of crabs do indeed walk forward, and perhaps this was one of them.
While Zhang Yanhang was puzzled by why the Crimson Iron Queen Ant walked forwards, this Peak Fourth Tier Lord Monster, with a size like that of a destroyer, had already charged at subsonic speeds to his position and raised its Fla Crab Claws, each comparable in size to two basketball courts, and ruthlessly smashed them down onto Zhang Yanhang.
Bang!
While the limbs were made of fire energy, the Fla Crab Claws emitted a colossal collision noise when they struck the Energy Shield, as if they were solid material.
The instant the Fla God's Fist—also known as the Fla Crab Claws—hit him, layers of ripples surged on Zhang Yanhang's Energy Shield, spreading from the point of impact to his entire body, rising wave upon wave like the sea.
Just from this impact, Zhang Yanhang could tell he'd lost a significant amount of Shield Value. A quick glance revealed that just that one hit had cost him five hundred points of his Shield Value, almost 3.5 tis the power of the Doomsday Fireball.
More critically, the Fla God's Fist wasn't a one-ti Skill. After the first blow, once the Crimson Iron Queen Ant saw the prominent ripples on the Energy Shield, it started pumling the Energy Shield non-stop with both its Fla Crab Claws.
With one Fla God's Fist, even if it lacked the flexibility of actual limbs due to being an energy construct, it could still manage five attacks per second, causing Zhang Yanhang's Energy Shield to decline rapidly.
When Zhang Yanhang noticed his Energy Shield seed to be struggling, he imdiately activated the Indestructible Golden Body. Accompanied by a thin layer of Golden Light covering his entire body, his defensive power increased sixfold. When he was hit by the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's Fla Crab Claws against his Energy Shield again, they only caused a few minor ripples and waves on the surface of the Energy Shield, reducing only a few dozen points of Shield Value.
Watching his Shield Value, though battered by the Crimson Iron Queen Ant for a while but still maintaining over twenty-five thousand points, Zhang Yanhang nodded with satisfaction. Such a loss could be recovered in a second later, truly justifying his expenditure of so many Soul points to upgrade Technique Immunity and increase the conversion coefficient for his Shield Value Limit.
"Speaking of which, it's an ant, so why would it have Fla Crab Claws? Could it be that the Fla God is not the god of the Crimson Iron Ants but the god of crabs? Or perhaps the god of arthropods?"
Considering that a god of crabs, as a crustacean, was unlikely to attract followers like Crimson Iron Ants, Zhang Yanhang was more inclined to believe that the Fla God was an arthropod god.
But given the low intelligence of the Crimson Iron Ants as followers, it should probably be one of the weakest Racial Gods or even a Pseudo-God. In any case, in terms of strength, it definitely couldn't compare to the typical gods of flas.
After all, a powerful Divine Position like flas in the DND world could at least give rise to dium Divine Power or even High-level Divine Power. As for a god of arthropods, having Weak Divine Power would already be impressive, and Low-level Divine Power was out of the question.
It's even likely that this was one of those Divinity creatures that grew strong over a long life span, gradually acquiring a rudintary understanding of faith, or a Demigod life form, a common growth process for such monster gods.
Zhang Yanhang considered these possibilities mainly because it would be quite embarrassing if the Fla God actually appeared and he couldn't defeat it. After all, the Crimson Iron Queen Ant itself was already Peak Fourth Tier, and upon initiating Fla God Descent, it might even reach Fifth Tier strength.
Watching the Crimson Iron Queen Ant, which was getting increasingly aggressive and was now gathering the Bursting Fla Beam in its mouthpiece for a simultaneous shot, Zhang Yanhang reached out a hand and forcefully held back the Fla God's Fist descending from the Crimson Iron Queen Ant, but unexpectedly, he almost couldn't hold up against its strength.
"A Peak Fourth Tier is truly worthy of its na; it does have so substance..."
Amidst a shower of sparks, Zhang Yanhang suddenly activated the Spiritual Qi Blessing, boosting his single hand's strength to nearly fifteen hundred tons, and then slamd a punch onto the Fla Crab Claw.
Boom!
In the midst of the great collision and explosive noises, the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's fla crab claws flashed with nurous cracks, then burst apart in the next instant, turning into a fiery rain that filled the sky.
Zhang Yanhang once again threw a punch, and with the help of Spiritual Qi Blessing, his fist, moving at eight tis the speed of sound, carried a violent air flow. Amidst a huge sonic boom, it forcibly compressed the surrounding air, increasing the atmospheric pressure and forming a solid-like air bomb that scattered the fiery rain, leaving a vast swath of the core area empty, and then struck the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's hard exoskeleton.
However, this kind of air bomb wasn't a real punch, and the damage it could cause was limited. It only created a few noticeable cracks on the most durable part of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's head exoskeleton, still so distance away from completely breaking through the armor.
Just as Zhang Yanhang was preparing to throw another punch, an extra attack with an attack multiplier of 425% was triggered. A blue air bomb suddenly appeared near the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's exoskeleton and, in an instant, gathered and enveloped the surrounding air to form a powerful air flow that struck the previously cracked exoskeleton armor again.
This ti, the exoskeleton armor of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant, asured in ters of thickness, was imdiately dented at least one or two ters deep, causing the head of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant to stop abruptly downward.
But for the Crimson Iron Queen Ant, with a head width of at least twenty ters, such damage was rely acceptable.
"These air fists are really not very reliable, bound only to bullying the weak."
After witnessing the performance of the air fists, Zhang Yanhang quietly sighed, then directly flashed on top of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's head, and punched the crater previously created by the extra attack on the exoskeleton armor.
Accompanied by a violent collision noise, the exoskeleton armor, which had only been dented one or two ters by the air bomb from the extra attack with an attack multiplier as high as 425%, now shattered inch by inch. Large pieces of exoskeleton fragnts burst in all directions.
The muscles inside, which were protected, tore in large chunks, and at the mont the exoskeleton armor fell apart, they turned into minced flesh. The thick, dark red body fluid surged out with various nervous tissues and muscle fibers, turning into a splattered ss of irregular blood and flesh mixtures that sprayed onto the ground, staining a large conical patch of blood-red earth.
But because the Crimson Iron Queen Ant was so massive and its life force so tenacious, Zhang Yanhang's punch had only shattered part of the left edge of the Queen Ant's head.
To give an example, it was as if he had only shattered the cheek portion of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's left face; the main integrity of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's head remained over eighty percent intact.
To be more specific, Zhang Yanhang's punch had only shattered roughly a five-ter section of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's head; the main part was still about twenty ters.
"No wonder it's a Peak Fourth Tier Lord Monster with an Attribute list of ninety-nine Constitution. It has such high Strength..." Zhang Yanhang hadn't encountered such a resistant monster in a long ti.
Although its left face had been obliterated and a large amount of dark red viscous fluid was continuously flowing out of the wound like water bursting from a dam, the Crimson Iron Queen Ant did not show any reaction like retreating due to the pain; it didn't even utter any shrieks of agony.
It rely silently swung its remaining right fla crab claw at Zhang Yanhang, and at the sa ti, it also shot the bursting fla beam that had been accumulating in its mouthparts toward him.
"You really are brave," Zhang Yanhang gasped deeply as his right arm's muscles rapidly expanded and he threw out three punches at eight tis the speed of sound.
Amid the huge noise of the sonic boom, the first punch, Zhang Yanhang scattered the bursting fla beam, stout as a train, causing it to break in the middle section, as if a slender chopstick was forcibly split apart, and the thick dark red fla column split and flew past both sides of his body.
The second punch, Zhang Yanhang hit the second set of fla crab claws, which had appeared while the Crimson Iron Queen Ant activated the Fla God's Fist skill. The seemingly solid fla crab claws showed a large number of irregular fine cracks, like plant roots, and then, in the next instant, they exploded into a sky of fire raining down and scattering in all directions.
The third punch, while Zhang Yanhang scattered the vision-obstructing rain of fire, he gathered all his strength to punch the left side of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's head, right where it had just been struck, and the tons of exoskeleton armor could hardly demonstrate any defensive power before it imdiately disintegrated.
The eye, eye socket, optic tissue, and head muscle tissues were instantly minced into mush by the remnants of the exoskeleton propelled by trendous impact, and mixed with dark red viscous fluid, splashed backward in a conical distribution.
So splattered onto the ground, staining the already crimson surface even more vividly, while another part splashed onto the chest, abdon, and the fla crab legs beneath the body of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant.
Although the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's fla resistance was certainly high, when the severed flesh fell into the fla crab legs, it inevitably got roasted black, emitting an unpleasant sll mixed with a small portion of the roasted exoskeleton fragnts.
If initially, Zhang Yanhang had rely smashed the left cheek of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant with a punch, then this ti he had almost completely shattered half of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's head, completely smashing the left half of its skull, even pulverizing a part of its complex neural structure, or brain tissue with that punch.
From the broken wound, Zhang Yanhang could clearly see parts of the brain tissue, now with irregular rifts, continuing their feeble rhythmic writhing with the movent of blood vessels and nerves, still functioning; but as they operated, complex vascular structures continued to pour out large amounts of dark red viscous fluid from the rifts.
Thanks to the colossal size of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant, its brain vessels were also exceptionally thick, with even the thinnest part being about as thick as an adult's waist, and for this reason, when such large vessels suffered gaps, the volu of blood lost every second was also extrely high, essentially asured in cubic ters.
Yet, even though Zhang Yanhang had shattered half of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant's head, it still stood firmly in place and maintained a degree of motor ability, attempting to continue launching attacks against him; it didn't suffer the expected instant death from brain tissue damage.
"This attack was relatively decent ... But even after being hit like that, you're still not dead? Worthy of being a Fourth Tier Four Star Lord Monster, resilience of life indeed is exceptionally tenacious."
Of course, being tenaciously alive aside, without any special skills, Zhang Yanhang figured that under these circumstances, the Crimson Iron Queen Ant shouldn't last much longer.
