Chapter 340 - 341: Switching Fighters? Aster Grant’s Dominance!
Zane Drake’s hands suddenly slammed open, and the aura of a Half-Step Totem Level erupted without reservation!
Four figures of varying forms but equally exuding the powerful wave of a Half-Step Totem Level stepped out from the Beastbond Space behind him.
Even though the Human Race is weak, even though the enemy is so overwhelmingly strong that it brings despair!
But courage will always be humanity’s anthem!
There was not the slightest hesitation in Zane Drake’s eyes, nor the slightest wavering.
As a leader, this is a responsibility he must bear!
Even if there’s an abyss ahead, he must step forward!
"Zane Drake! If anyone must go up for this final battle, it’s me!"
Cavan Vero, realizing Zane Drake was about to personally fight to the death, shouted fiercely with bloodshot eyes, attempting to rush forward and stop him.
However, Zane Drake merely shook his head gently. His gaze swept past Cavan Vero, then turned to his fellow humans, who wore mournful expressions, and spoke calmly:
"Cavan, take them away! Remember, the Human Race... never yields!"
Before he finished speaking, Zane Drake’s figure suddenly blurred, and the next moment, he was standing firmly like a rock in the center of Kratosium!
Almost simultaneously as he landed, the cold mechanical female voice sounded mercilessly:
[First battle of Half-Step Totem Level: Human Race vs. Dreadbeast Faction!]
From the Dreadbeast Faction, a giant wolf with a body entirely snow-white, named Frostfang, turned to look at the Frost Serpent on the high platform.
Seeing the Frost Serpent nod almost imperceptibly, Frostfang’s face instantly showed a cruel grin.
Its figure flickered, bringing up a burst of icy whirlwind, appearing on the arena, facing Zane Drake at a distance.
Looking at Zane Drake, whose aura was erupting fully, Frostfang licked its sharp fangs with its crimson tongue, its voice dripping with disdain:
"Human Race? Such a weak race!"
"The strongest one is nothing but a Half-Step Totem Level failure!"
"You dare possess three Divine Patterns? What a massive joke!"
Frostfang’s voice echoed in the arena, with each word striking like a whip on the heart of the Human Race:
"But...."
"If you weren’t so weak, we wouldn’t have had the chance to take what doesn’t belong to you, hahahaha!"
Facing this piercing mockery, Zane Drake’s face remained motionless.
He had long been accustomed to such contempt.
The law of the jungle is the law of the world.
If he had the strength to crush everything, things wouldn’t have come to this.
Everything is because he is not strong enough!
However, this is the final battle for the Human Race; no matter the cost, he must seize victory in this fight.
Even if it means exhausting the little remaining Life Force he has.
He must win!
"Life Burning!"
Zane Drake murmured to himself, the aura around him like an ignited volcano, suddenly surging upward!
Yet his temples were visibly turning grey at an alarming speed!
Once, he sought advice from Skylar Winslow.
Even though he lacks the Winslow Family’s bloodline...
He learned the Winslow Family’s method of burning Life Force to enhance combat power.
He thought this technique would be used against the Demon Clan.
Unexpectedly....
He’s facing a Vicious Beast!
But perhaps this is destiny!
At this moment, the cold female voice sounded again.
[First battle of Half-Step Totem Level: Human Zane Drake vs. Vicious Beast Frostfang, are both contenders confirmed!]
Frostfang, feeling Zane Drake’s forcibly heightened yet hollow aura, sneered disdainfully.
A failure is a failure; even burning Life cannot change its essence!
Though it is Half-Step Totem Level...
Its countless years of accumulation mean its strength has long reached Totem Level.
Its true combat power is already on par with one of the four King-level Vicious Beasts, the Nine-Hells Centipede King.
It simply has no interest in vying for the King-level Vicious Beast title, thus allowing the Nine-Hells Centipede King to claim the fourth beast position.
But now....
A human ant dares try to challenge it by burning Life Force.
Courting death!
"Vicious Beast, confirmed!"
Frostfang roared proudly, already seeing Zane Drake as food on a plate.
Zane Drake took a deep breath, adjusting the boiling Life Force and Power within him to its peak, his battle intent soaring to the heavens!
"Human Race, Zane Drake, conf..."
Just as he was about to utter the final word "irm"——
"Boom ————!!"
The sky of the Divine Realm suddenly fell into complete darkness!
It’s not cloaked by clouds; it’s as if all light is swallowed by some invisible presence!
Immediately following that, a vortex of indescribable enormity, filled with destructive Void turbulence within, tore open in the sky!
Each wisp of energy spilling from that vortex made the Totem level powerhouses present feel their souls tremble!
The Frost Serpent and the three Totem Demon Lords of the Demon Clan all raised their heads in shock.
They could clearly sense that even they would be shredded instantly if caught in that vortex.
"What is that?!"
"Such... such terrifying Power of Space!"
Cries of astonishment shook the air, everyone’s attention captured completely by this phenomenon!
Under this intense scrutiny, two silhouettes slowly emerged from within the vortex capable of annihilating everything!
Leading them, with black hair and eyes, a calm demeanor, was Aster Grant!
Following closely was Lazuli, with twelve radiant light wings and unparalleled beauty!
As Lazuli stepped out of the vortex, the last remnant of Power of Destruction Law within her uncontrollably spread out.
Though faint, it carried a supreme breath of source, shaking the hearts of all who perceived it!
Among the Human Race, Abel Vance and Stryker, seeing the familiar figure in the sky, were already stunned.
Aster... Aster Grant!
Somehow, this boy far younger than them had become the pillar of the entire Human Race.
Both understood that without Aster Grant, there wouldn’t be the Human Race as it is now.
Previously, Aster Grant vanished.
Only then did these Human Race managers realize how much heavier their burdens had suddenly become.
But now....
Aster Grant is back!
Zane Drake similarly gazed at the figure in the sky, momentarily lost.
If there’s anything he’s worried about.
It’s Aster Grant!
Although Lilith had told him that Aster Grant was fine...
Without seeing him with his own eyes, his heart was never at ease.
And now, witnessing Aster Grant’s return.
Even the last thread of worry vanished for Zane Drake.
Now, he can face this battle with peace of mind.
In Kratosium, once one steps onto the stage, it means the battle has begun.
It cannot be canceled!
Thus, now, even if he regrets, it’s of no Function.
However, floating in the sky, Aster Grant’s gaze swept over the entire field, instantly grasping the current situation.
His voice calm, yet carrying an indisputable majesty, swept clearly across the entire Sanctum:
"This battle of the Human Race shall be joined by me!"
However, as Aster Grant’s voice fell, the mechanical-like female voice rang out again:
[Once on stage, you may only concede defeat, not revoke!]
[Does the Human Race decide to forfeit this match? Concede!]
Aster Grant, hearing this, curled his lips in a cold arc.
"Soul-devouring!"
He murmured inwardly.
In an instant, a majestic and indescribable aura exploded from Lazuli’s body!
Her attribute panel wildly surged in Aster Grant’s consciousness!
The four Basic Attributes soared to an incredible tens of millions level, as though riding a rocket!
