Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 325: Stalemate

Activating the Abyssal Scales, Amit underwent a significant transformation. His entire body, from head to toe, was covered in thick scales, including his eyes, which were shielded by a layer of black, transparent scales. These scales shimmered with a metallic sheen, making him resemble a mechanical behemoth.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Nu fully unleashed the power of the Evil God Eyes. His four Evil God Eyes arranged into a four-leaf clover pattern, creating a peculiar and eerie set of compound eyes.

Amit declared coldly, "The defensive power of my Abyssal Scales is limitless, stronger than any legendary equipment. Nothing can harm me!"

The next moment, Zhang Nu initiated Death Gaze. A surge of immensely powerful necrotic energy enveloped Amit instantly. How formidable was the Death Gaze when combined with the power of four Evil God Eyes? It could be said that any mythic being that took this hit squarely would most likely be annihilated instantly. Yet, Amit remained unscathed. His black, crystal-like scales suddenly took on a dark red sheen, exuding a magnificent and eerie aura.

"Ha ha ha!" Amit laughed arrogantly. "Useless! Not only does your attack fail to harm me, but it also channels energy into my Abyssal Scales. Eventually, all your attacks will serve to empower me."

During the conversation, Amit also activated his three Evil God Eyes, which formed a clover pattern. The power of the Eye of Element was unleashed, defying the sealed space and transforming into torrents rushing toward Zhang Nu. However, these attacks simply passed through Zhang Nu without effect.

This was futile because Zhang Nu, now endowed with the "Void Overlord" talent, possessed both "Spatial Phasing" and "Temporal Mirage" abilities. Spatial Phasing allowed him to distort and fold the space around him, making all attacks pass through him and miss. Temporal Mirage could alter the surrounding time, causing all attacks to occur too early or too late to hit him.

The former was a spatial evasion skill, and the latter was a temporal evasion skill---both were supremely perfect and virtually unsolvable methods of evasion. Since becoming the Void Overlord, Zhang Nu had relied on these two powers. Unless an opponent reached a near-divine level, all forms of attack---magical, physical, and anything tangible---were ineffective against him. As the Void Overlord, Zhang Nu could nullify these attacks from both temporal and spatial dimensions, rendering it virtually impossible for them to cause him any harm.

Amit's expression soured, "You can't kill me, and I'm not entirely sure I can handle you either. How about a truce? Let's pretend today's conflict never happened. With our strengths combined, there's nothing in this world that could stop us."

As he spoke, he was bombarded by dozens of Zhang Nu's magical attacks---various dragon flames, sword Qis, lightnings, and high-level spells---all of which Amit's Abyssal Scales absorbed.

The Abyssal Scales, after absorbing significant energy, began to change their solid properties, transitioning into a state between solid and liquid. It was clear that Amit was using the Evil God Scales in a manner similar to 'borrowing arrows with thatched boats', absorbing and accumulating a massive amount of energy within his body, which would be terrifying once unleashed.

This piece of the Evil God fragment, from a defensive standpoint, could be considered even more powerful than any legendary equipment.

Zhang Nu dismissed the offer nonchalantly, "A truce is not out of the question, but only if you hand over the three eyes."

"Go to hell!" Amit erupted in anger. "Do you think just because you have time and space abilities, I really have no way to deal with you? Your space-time abilities can indeed defend against all elements, energy, physical attacks, and all tangible assaults. But the powers that target the soul and the psyche! They aren't entirely affected by space and time!"

Amit activated the Eye of Wraith among his three Evil God Eyes, representing the power of the Evil God's soul, which could directly attack the soul. Spatial-temporal techniques could neutralize any attack, but they were not entirely immune to psychic and soul-based attacks, so theoretically, this method was effective.

[You have received a 'Soul Destroyer Gaze' attack, HP -5000!]

Zhang Nu felt a slight discomfort. The attack finally had an effect on him, indicating that his opponent indeed had some capability. However, a 5000-point damage might seem a lot for others, but for Zhang Nu at this stage, it was trivial, akin to a mere scratch.

Zhang Nu decided not to waste more time and condensed a massive sword from high-density thunder flames in his hand.

"It's useless! Your attacks can't harm me!" Amit was confident in his defensive scales.

Yet, the next second, Zhang Nu's sword blade, which tore through space from thousands of meters away, pierced into the behemoth Hero's body.

-45220! A casual sword strike caused massive damage!

Amit couldn't believe it, "How is this possible, my defense... it was ineffective!"

The Evil God fragment - Abyssal Scales, though not originating from the same source as the Eight Eyed Evil God, was still a powerful Evil God fragment and should be enhanced by the presence of other fragments. As a super-strong defensive Evil God ability, no one had ever breached Amit's defense before.

He couldn't believe that it had been broken by a seemingly ordinary sword strike. After a closer sensing, Amit discovered the problem. The sword in Zhang Nu's hand, surging with infernal thunder flames, was imbued with a corruptive Evil God aura, distinctly different from the power of the Eight Eyed Evil God. It seemed that this power was suppressing the defensive effect of the Abyssal Scales!"
