"Why..."
Massive amounts of True Stings surged out from Tayzzyronth's body once again, blocking in front of Him in an attempt to neutralize Leon's attack.
But this ti, there was power behind Leon's sword; it was no longer so easy to block.
With a swing of the dual blades, every slash erupted with raging fire.
That nether-blue fla could incinerate the Swarm in an instant, directly wiping out a pile of them. With a magnificent spinning slash, the Swarm had no way to block!
This ti, the mysterious dual-wielder's blade successfully slashed into Tayzzyronth!
Flas, blue tinged with purple, pierced through His Divine Body! Yet, what surged out from the wound in the chest was not blood, but a dense mass of insect eggs.
"Why!"
There was a hint of anger in Tayzzyronth's words. An aura burst forth from Him—slightly inferior to the genuine article, but infinitely approaching the might of an "Aeon"!
"Let's fight here. We can let loose."
Seeing that Tayzzyronth was about to make a move, Leon opened the Domain he had previously obtained from IX, pulling Him into the realm of "The Nihility"!
"Are we not kin?!"
Like the quills on a hedgehog's exterior, Tayzzyronth reacted instinctively. Countless spores of "The Propagation" imdiately spread from His body toward the surroundings.
"More than just kin, I treat you as a brother!"
Fiction: Spore power amplified one hundred tis; Self remains at zero damage, unaffected.
Leon, who had just leaped into mid-air to slash Tayzzyronth, landed back on the ground. The ground was covered in a pile of spores that could easily inflict heavy damage upon an "Emanator".
Leon stepped on them, and the spores exploded. But he remained completely unaffected.
The Path ability of "The Enigmata": Passing off the fake as real, turning fiction into reality. As long as others truly believe it, then it can exist as such. The more people who believe, or the stronger the person who believes, the better the effect of the "Enigmata" ability.
Although he didn't want to slander his senior, among the eighteen Paths, "The Enigmata" was undoubtedly the Path most suitable for Leon.
Because he always believed in himself—at all tis, one hundred percent belief! The most correct choice Mythus made in this life was choosing him as an Emanator.
He truly picked up a treasure; Leon could tell you that much. Privately, he could totally hum a tune about it.
"Then you want to kill ?!"
Tayzzyronth raised His hand. The spores filling the sky and ground imdiately unleashed dark purple beams, surrounding Leon like infrared lasers, making it difficult to move an inch.
Leon waved his hand, and the flas of "The Hunt" clung to the beams.
"Aren't we brothers who went through life and death together?" he calmly replied to Tayzzyronth's question.
The second his voice fell, all of His beams were swallowed up and exhausted by the flas of vengeance.
"Now then."
Leon combined the dual blades into a longbow and tossed it forward.
Xunzheng hovered vertically three centiters in front of him, the bow body flashing with dazzling light.
"Let's exchange one last move."
He waved his left hand, extending it to the side, while his right hand ford a sword-finger stance in front of his nose.
"One move, to decide the winner of this confrontation."
As Leon's words left his mouth, the incomparably clear Avatar of "Lan" erged behind him.
"You are not the true Swarm Emperor, and I am not Lan Himself."
Tayzzyronth's vessel wasn't quite up to par. Although the fusion beast, due to its crafting materials, was already the existence with the highest compatibility with Him...
"But let state this beforehand: You are the challenger!"
But ultimately, it was limited. After all, a small place cannot accommodate too great a God, causing Tayzzyronth to be forced to downgrade.
He beca an existence on the sa level as Leon, fundantally unable to exert the combat power He had as an "Aeon" in the past. This was also the main reason Leon could now compete with Him.
Tayzzyronth should have gone to find His own fallen body. Although it was dilapidated, if He used that, He would have co as an "Aeon". And the "Swarm Emperor" would have truly been completely resurrected today.
Unfortunately, there were no 'ifs', because His body had long been destroyed for the most part by Leon's foresight. If He could really find His forr complete vessel, then Leon facing Him today would have needed to turn on so cheats.
"..."
Tayzzyronth remained silent, but the energy fluctuations on His body were climbing steadily.
"Resonance Formation: Star Hunter, Sun Patroller!"
Leon spoke softly—
Imdiately, a phrase appeared on the left, right, and above the head of Lan's Avatar.
Right: Reignbow Severs the Void, Piercing the Azure Heavens!
Left: Reignbow Transcends, Victorious in All Directions!
Above: Reignbow Descends, Ruling Over the Firmant!
Three phrases appeared beside the Avatar of "Lan", every character so dazzling it could not be ignored!
Seeing this, Tayzzyronth imdiately adopted a corresponding stance. The large True Sting of His lower body opened its bloody maw. Energy massive enough to overturn half the galaxy was gathering within its mouth!
"Strike!"
After the display was complete, Leon commanded thus, and all three sentences converged toward Xunzheng!
"Lan" grasped Xunzheng, pulling back the bowstring that flashed with a bright purple light tinged with white!
"The Hunt!"
With a loud shout from Leon, the arrow was triggered instantly!
And at the sa ti, Tayzzyronth also completed His charge! The Insect Beast Jade and the arrow shot out with identical flight trajectories!
On the sa ballistic path, as a matter of course, the two inevitably collided!
Rumble!!!
Accompanied by the earth-shaking commotion, a burst of white light imdiately lit up, enveloping the entire "Nihility" space!
It was difficult to use words to describe the confrontation between the two Great Emperors. The scale and shock of that scene... the phrase 'the Great Dao was obliterated' was far from enough to summarize it.
After a prolonged confrontation, the white light obstructing vision faded.
Tayzzyronth fell to the ground, severed at the waist. The human body of the upper half and the beast body of the lower half were separated, making no further sound.
This battle, a battle of vengeance, "The Hunt" won! On behalf of those who could not receive justice in that era... He won!
"Delightful. I don't think I will forget you."
Having just wrestled with a powerhouse, Leon felt quite refreshed.
"You are the second strongest person I have ever seen."
Setting aside the "Aeons" Themselves, and those borrowing the "Aeon accounts" like the "Immaculatus"...
"And your strength is far above His."
Tayzzyronth at the Pseudo-God level was indeed the second strongest powerhouse Leon had seen to date. The first was Iron Tomb, and Tayzzyronth was far above Iron Tomb.
"Tayzzyronth, I will rember you."
Having said that, Leon was just preparing to leave... when he saw Tayzzyronth's corpse transform into a ball of light flying toward him.
Subconsciously, he wanted to shoot it down, but he didn't yet have the qualifications to shatter a "Position".
In the end, the ball of light rged into his body; fortunately, there was no malice.
"Do you think I am kin even until death?"
How could Leon be His kin? Firefly was. It was just that his deep involvent with Firefly led to him having that scent on him, making Tayzzyronth feel that way.
He could feel it. Tayzzyronth had gifted the qualification, or rather a small portion of the "Position" He bore, to Leon, making him a "Swarm Emperor" as well.
Perhaps He felt this would be a curse. After all, to beco a "Swarm Emperor", one naturally has to hunt another "Swarm Emperor".
But this situation did not apply to Leon. He had no interest in becoming a "Swarm Emperor"; even if he were to take over a shift, he would definitely take over "The Hunt".
What kind of thing is "The Propagation" anyway?
Leon slung Xunzheng back over his shoulder, then chose to exit this space of "The Nihility".
However, now that he had beco a "Swarm Emperor", it ant the Swarm's attention would be focused on him in the future. Firefly wouldn't have to deal with it anymore.
All in all, the original objective was achieved. It wasn't a wasted trip!
"...You won?"
Ruan i was still waiting for him in the world of ice and snow. Seeing him reappear, she asked with so shock.
That was an "Aeon". She could clearly feel the essential difference between the creation possessed by Tayzzyronth and the creation she initially created.
But she didn't know what this essence was.
"Although they look no different, that was not a true 'Aeon'."
Against an "Aeon", Leon still dared not say he could win.
"There is still so distance from the 'Swarm Emperor' of back then."
Those shady-to-the-extre superpowers on him were all good hands at stalling an "Aeon". But Leon didn't have attack thods capable of injuring an "Aeon".
No matter how much he stalled, as long as the "Aeon" caught an opening and touched him once, he would lose instantly. The nurical difference was too great.
As long as one is not a fellow "Aeon", an "Aeon" can instantly kill any class.
Sigh, when will the superpowers give him a finishing move? A hyper-carry without a finishing move is unqualified and will be spurned by others.
"En, missing the final kick to the goal, I suppose."
It was at the sa stage as himself. However, Tayzzyronth was missing that final kick because of physical issues. Leon was truly missing the final kick, and he still didn't know where that kick should land.
"Your experint failed. What will you do?" Leon asked about her plans.
"Nothing more than starting over." Ruan i was not discouraged.
Leon thought for a mont. "How about we go find Herta?"
"The place you lived is gone too; only this vast expanse of snow is left."
After speaking, he looked around. Indeed, aside from snow, there was only snow.
"Although I don't know what a 'Perfect Scholar' is, it seems pretty badass. If your 'Research Project' isn't making any progress... you can totally consider asking her.
"Actually, you can trust Herta a bit more," Leon thought for a mont and added. "She isn't soone who would point fingers at other people's 'Research Projects'."
Scholars of the Intelligentsia Guild: You're farting!
"Uh, at least she won't do it to you?"
Better to be cautious; Leon added a few qualifiers.
Hearing his words, Ruan i thought of the ssage Herta had left her not long ago.
[Ruan i, I look forward to you dragging into your research project.]
"In any case, I have to notify Herta about the matter of 'The Propagation'."
Not just Herta; he also had to report a bit to the Xianzhou Alliance. The "Swarm Emperor" being alive was no small issue. The things involved in this were likely not few.
Moreover, even now, he didn't feel Tayzzyronth was truly dead.
The reason was simple: the "Position" He bore was only a very small part. It was far from complete; I'm afraid sooner or later He will make a coback.
Of course, it wasn't his turn to worry about that. Just leave this kind of thing to the people with good brains to worry about.
A crude martial artist is just like this: just wait for the battle to feel good, follow orders, and kill the enemy with all one's might. The things the rear has to consider are many.
There are so many things day after day; the Astral Express will have to suspend sailing for a while longer.
"If you have an interest in admiring the snow, then I'll leave first, ha."
Leon raised his hand to say goodbye, then shoved his hands in his pockets, stepping out to leave.
"The chaotic world is vast; we will et again if fate permits."
In this world of ice and snow, if Ruan i liked being alone in this drifting wind and snow... then he had nothing to say.
"...I do not."
Ruan i asked him to take her along.
*
Herta Space Station.
Leon brought Ruan i to seek refuge with Herta.
Unfortunately, only "Herta" was there; Herta was not. Only her puppet was present.
"En, now tell , why are you two together?"
The Herta puppet looked at Ruan i. "Didn't you say you were just making a phone call to ask so things?"
What, you made a phone call and it turned into an offline et-up?
"There was a reason."
Ruan i took a sip of black tea, her emotions not changing much regarding the questioning.
"You speak."
If looks could kill, Leon would have been sliced into ten thousand pieces by Herta already.
"Actually, I had a fight with Tayzzyronth."
After pondering briefly, Leon spoke.
"Uh-huh, and then?"
The Herta puppet didn't care at all, replying perfunctorily.
She just wanted to know how exactly these two ended up fooling around together.
