“How arrogant and presumptuous!”
The Destruction Dominus let out a cold snort.
“You overestimate yourself,” said the Life Dominus coldly.
A Chief God with a pair of horns on his hand also ordered coldly, “The three great Juggernauts are standing before you, knave! Get onto your knees, kowtow, and own up to your mistakes! What are you still waiting for?”
“Get onto your knees!”
“Get onto your knees!”
“Get onto your knees!”
The other Chief Gods also spoke up one after another. Roiling sound waves converged and formed a majestic torrent of voices that surged brazenly toward Meng Lei from everywhere.
Boom!
Had it been anyone else facing these shocking and earth-shattering torrents of voices, the resulting reverberations would already have knocked them dead a long time ago. Even if they survived, their souls would also end up destroyed.
However, Meng Lei remained unmoved as though it was the spring breeze caressing his face. No matter how the torrent of voices pressed down upon him, he simply stood steadily where he was like a bastion of stability from start to finish.
“You want me to get onto my knees? With the likes of you?”
Meng Lei shook his head with a scoff and said, “I’m not looking down on you, but I just want to say that be it a Juggernaut or a Chief God, all of them are... Trash!”
“How dare you!”
The three Juggernauts’ expressions turned cold at once. Towering divine power gushed out of them and crushed down brazenly upon Meng Lei like great surging tidal waves, seemingly trying to flatten him onto the ground.
It was just a shame that Meng Lei still remained calm and unaffected even against such vast and mighty divine power. He said, “You said just now that I’ve become too full of myself, Moro. Open your eyes wide and watch this closely now, and see whether I’ve become too full of myself or not!”
“What are you intending to do?” asked Moro in a low voice.
“You’ll see right away!”
A dispassionate smile graced Meng Lei’s lips. Then, he reached out a finger and barked, “Where are you, time-based laws of nature?”
Buzz!
A golden laws of nature chain suddenly came from the sky above the moment he spoke.
The laws of nature chain emanated a vast aura of time. The sight of it gave different people completely different feels.
Ancient and decayed!
Prosperous and flourishing!
Distant and eternal!
While everyone was still immersed in their unique moments of enlightenment, the golden chain split into two, then into four, and next into eight. Then, the eight golden chains attacked the Juggernauts and the others from eight different directions.
“These are time-based laws of nature chains! Get back!”
The three Juggernauts retreated with a burst of speed. Their movement speeds were beyond comparison, and they went 10 million kilometers away in an instant, successfully evading the eight chains’ siege.
The Chief Gods, however, weren’t so lucky. Not only were they half a beat slower, but the eight golden chains also moved incredibly swiftly, and they ended up becoming surrounded by the chains.
Buzz!
The eight laws of nature chains instantly linked together to form a golden prison of chains that imprisoned the 134 Chief Gods.
“Damn it!”
“C’mon, break!!”
Greatly alarmed, the 134 Chief Gods turned pale, and they quickly began to attack the laws of nature cage. However, something that shocked and dismayed them happened—as though the laws of nature cage was just an illusory one, all their attacks passed right through the cage upon landing. They didn’t affect the cage in the least.
“I can’t attack it?”
“How did that happen?”
The Chief Gods found this incredible. The golden cage was clearly imprisoning them within, and they couldn’t escape from it at all, so why couldn’t they attack it?
“That’s Time Prison!”
“Based on how he can mobilize time-based laws of nature to attack at will, it looks like he’s already fully comprehended time-based laws of nature!”
“He’s... Fully comprehended time-based laws of nature?”
“It’ll... probably be very difficult for us to kill him!”
All three Juggernauts wore awful looks on their faces. Time-based laws of nature was a type of supreme laws of nature, and every type of supreme laws of nature possessed entirely different powers.
Destruction laws of nature ruled over destruction;
Death laws of nature ruled over death;
Life laws of nature ruled over life;
Spatial laws of nature ruled over dimensional space;
In the same vein, time-based laws of nature definitely ruled over time itself!
Time was intangible. Time-based laws of nature’s destructive abilities might not be as great as that of destruction laws of nature and death laws of nature, but their strange and peculiar nature made them highly elusive and enigmatic!
Most importantly, no one had fully mastered time-based laws of nature prior to Meng Lei. Therefore, none of the Juggernauts had any experience in battling time-based laws of nature.
This was what gave the three Juggernauts the biggest headache!
“Damn it!”
“I can’t attack it!”
“How did this happen?”
The 134 Chief Gods trapped in the Time Prison were unusually anxious. Their attacks couldn’t even touch the cage at all. How were they supposed to fight this?
“You actually want to punish me? With the likes of all of you?”
Meng Lei took step after step toward the Time Prison and went right up to it. A look of slight disdain surfaced in his eyes as he gazed at the panic-stricken Chief Gods.
“You knave! Release me if you dare!”
A Behemoth Chief God with firm, intertwining muscles and golden fur all over him shouted fiercely, “What’s so impressive about using this kind of weird method to trap us? Release me and fight me head-on if you dare!”
Meng Lei’s gaze swept across the Behemoth Chief God. His divine body was strong and powerful, and he gave off astonishing divine power. The aura around him was much more powerful than the Behemoth Chief God whom Meng Lei had previously killed.
He was evidently a higher Chief God!
“You want to fight head-on with me?” Meng Lei shook his head with a smile and said, “Sure, I’ll satisfy your request!”
Meng Lei gave a grand wave and sent the Behemoth Chief God out of the Time Prison. The moment he appeared, the Behemoth Chief God let out a roar and smashed its fist toward Meng Lei.
His divine body was strong and powerful, and he possessed Herculean strength. His punch was powerful enough to smash any intermediate Chief God dead, and even most higher Chief Gods would have to shy away from it.
Unfortunately...
Meng Lei shook his head a little. A purplish-red ball of energy formed at his fingertip, becoming bigger and bigger. By the time the Behemoth Chief God’s fist reached him, the energy ball had already become as big as a basketball.
“Go!”
With a flick of Meng Lei’s fingers, the energy ball crashed full frontal into the Behemoth Chief God’s fist.
Buzz!
A shocking sight ensued—the iron fist that carried a fierce momentum and was mighty enough to smash the Nidhogg Continent into bits and pieces was instantly destroyed the moment it came into contact with the energy ball. As though it was a moth that had stumbled straight into bubbling lava, next was his forearm, his upper arm, and at last, his shoulder...
“How can this be?”
The Behemoth Chief God stared at his right arm that had soundlessly disappeared upon being destroyed, his eyes big and round. Shock and incredulity filled his eyes.
“No matter how powerful your divine body is, in the face of destruction laws of nat
ure, it has no choice but to be destroyed and disappear!”
Meng Lei shook his head slightly. This was what destruction laws of nature were like—they soundlessly destroyed and wiped out everything without needing much ado.
A couple of breaths later, the energy ball continued to float undamaged in the air, whereas the Behemoth Chief God had vanished—for life. The energy ball had completely annihilated him, leaving behind nothing at all.
At the sight of this, the other 133 Chief Gods trapped in the Time Prison felt their scalps going numb.
“The power of destruction laws of nature!”
“Damn! That’s the power of destruction laws of nature!”
Chapter 412: Battling The Three Juggernauts
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although supreme laws of nature were indeed unsurpassed and paramount to many Chief Gods, they weren’t actually that far off from them.
Intermediate Chief Gods and higher Chief Gods made up one-third of the 133 Chief Gods. Now, these were all entities that had managed to comprehend the existence of supreme laws of nature, and among them were no lack of Chief Gods that had started to comprehend destruction laws of nature!
This group of Chief Gods had recognized at first glance the purplish-red energy ball that Meng Lei had tossed out. That was destruction laws of nature—or rather, the power of destruction laws of nature!
Destruction laws of nature ruled over the domain of destruction. Only destruction laws of nature could soundlessly destroy a higher Chief God and render it into nothingness.
“Damn! Has that guy also comprehended destruction laws of nature?”
“He’s already comprehended time-based laws of nature, and now he’s also comprehended destruction laws of nature. Isn’t that a little too incredible?!”
“I really don’t know how that knave managed to do it!”
The 133 Chief Gods found it astonishing and incredible. As for the three Juggernauts, the shock and horror in their hearts were even stronger and more intense, especially the Destruction Dominus... He had an awful look on his face.
“He mobilized the power of destruction laws of nature to attack so easily!” The Life Dominus turned to the Destruction Dominus and asked, “Disaryl, to what degree has his comprehension of destruction laws of nature reached?”
“You know very well the answer, so why bother asking me?” Sharp killing intent permeated the Destruction Dominus’ eyes. “Die! He must die!”
“Yes, he must!”
The Life Dominus said with a frown, “But he’s already comprehended time-based laws of nature and destruction laws of nature. It’s very difficult to kill him.”
“Even so, he still has to!”
The Destruction Dominus snarled, “I am the only one in this vast universe that’s allowed to fully comprehend destruction laws of nature! Anyone else that comprehends destruction laws of nature... Must die!”
The Life Dominus and Death Dominus nodded, neither of them saying any more.
Elsewhere...
“Fight head-on with me? You’re not tough enough!”
Meng Lei smiled aloofly. Destruction laws of nature were indeed fearsome. Even a lofty higher Chief God had been totally destroyed, leaving behind only a Chief God divine core!
Meng Lei casually grabbed the Chief God divine core and used his Grim Reaper’s Eye to blast the Behemoth Chief God’s divine spirit apart, thoroughly killing him. Then, he kept the Chief God divine core.
“Ding! 1 Behemoth Chief God killed. 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals gained.” A timely system notification rang out.
“Not bad!”
,000 trillion Divinity Crystals was no small sum of money. A satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on Meng Lei’s face, and he turned to the other 133 Chief Gods. There were quite a few higher Chief Gods among them. He would definitely earn a nice little sum of money if he killed them all.
Upon sensing Meng Lei’s gaze, the 133 Chief Gods felt a pang of alarm arise within them, and a hint of bone-chilling iciness ran up their spines. Even someone as strong as the Behemoth Chief God had been instantly killed, so how could they possibly be Meng Lei’s match? Especially when he was looking at them as if he was looking at his prey?
“Your Holinesses, s-save us!”
“Juggernauts, save us!”
“O great Juggernauts, please, I beg you...”
The 133 Chief Gods cried out for help, their voices turning hoarse from shouting. At the same time, they also fervently attacked the Time Prison. They didn’t care even if their attacks couldn’t even touch the Time Prison, launching all sorts of attacks as if they didn’t cost a thing...
“Attack!”
“Kill him!”
“Attack with full power and suppress him!”
The three Juggernauts exchanged looks with one another. Then, they transformed into three streaks of light that shot toward Meng Lei, trapping him in the middle before launching their attacks.
“Descension of The Life Realm!”
The Life Dominus gave a light shout. Endless green chains formed out of thin air and transformed into innumerable green vines that extended toward Meng Lei in an attempt to bind him.
These were vines formed from life laws of nature. They could no longer be merely described as “tough, flexible, and indestructible”. It was impossible for one to destroy them unless the power of laws of nature on a similar grade was used!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As though they were ferocious poisonous snakes, several green vines wound swiftly around Meng Lei, trapping him within and wrapping him into a dumpling.
“I’ve caught him!”
The Life Dominus was delighted. She had been worried that Meng Lei would use time-based laws of nature, which would make him difficult to capture. But now that she had caught him, things would become a lot easier.
“Life Deprivation!”
With a glare from the Life Dominus, sharp thorns immediately emerged from the vines winding around Meng Lei, stabbing into him and absorbing his life force.
The vines boasted an extremely fearsome absorption rate and could suck a higher Chief God dry in just a few seconds.
The Life Dominus was sure that she could extract all of Meng Lei’s life essence as long as she could get a few seconds of time. When that happened, he would be doomed for sure!
“As expected of the Life Dominus! You’re so adept at using life laws of nature.” Marvel filled Meng Lei as he took in the vines’ fearsome devouring ability’s sensation. “It’s just a shame that this move of yours doesn’t work against me!”
“Quit bragging, knave!”
The Life Dominus snorted and said, “I’m about to turn you into human jerky, yet you still have the guts to speak such conceited nonsense. You practically don’t even know what you’re saying!”
“You’re about to turn me into human jerky? That’s not necessarily true!”
Meng Lei let out a chuckle, upon which the vines that had originally been furiously absorbing his life force quietly stopped. Then, they started to let go of Meng Lei, unwinding round by round...
“What?”
A huge jolt went through the Life Dominus at the sight, and her pretty eyes widened so huge that they almost popped out of their sockets. “H-how... did... you...”
“Surprised?”
Meng Lei smiled and lightly snapped his fingers. One by one, the vines left him and started to dance in the air around him.
This almost frightened the Life Dominus to death. She exclaimed, “Life laws of nature! You’ve actually also comprehended life laws of nature?!”
“Bingo! Unfortunately... It’s too late!”
Meng Lei reached out and pointed at the Life Dominus. The innumerable vines immediately switched targets and hurtled toward her.
Blood drained from the Life Dominus’ face, and she hastily used her life laws of nature in an attempt to take back control of the vines. However, it was at this point that she suddenly
froze where she was and was rendered immobile.
Evidently, this was due to time-based laws of nature—they had confined the Life Dominus!
“Kill him!”
The Destruction Dominus’ and the Death Dominus’ attacks also reached at this point.
A purplish-red energy ball that emanated torrential power of destruction and a huge white bone claw formed completely from ghastly white mist rushed toward Meng Lei at the same time.
The purplish-red energy ball was formed completely from power of destruction and thus contained a fearsome amount of power of destruction. Even a higher Chief God like the Behemoth Chief God would be completely obliterated and suffer a bad end if the energy ball were to hit him.
The bone claw was manifested from the power of death, and an aura of death suffused the air around it. Should one come into physical contact with it, their vitality would undoubtedly be taken from them, and they would lose their life at once.
“Both your attacks are very swift and fierce. Unfortunately... It’s useless!”
Meng Lei shook his head slightly. Then, he raised his arms and made a light grabbing motion. At once, the energy ball and bone claw that contained fearsome power of destruction and power of death became as docile as lambs and ended up being held by Meng Lei.
“Damn it!”
“How can this be?!”
The Destruction Dominus and the Death Dominus were horror-stricken. It still made some sense that Meng Lei could grab the power of destruction energy ball—after all, he had managed to comprehend destruction laws of nature—but what the heck was he grabbing the death claw supposed to mean? Had he comprehended death laws of nature, too?
“As they say, it doesn’t fulfill propriety if one doesn’t return as good as they receive!”
The corners of Meng Lei’s lips quirked upward slightly as he said, “Here, have a taste of your own attacks, too!”
“Retreat!”
The Destruction Dominus and the Death Dominus retreated with a burst of speed without a second thought. Yet before they could go far, they became frozen to where they were—it was time-based laws of nature again!
“The five supreme laws of nature are of the same grade. None of them are any more superior or inferior to another. If I hadn’t comprehended destruction laws of nature and death laws of nature, your attacks would totally have wounded me. But by the same reasoning, my time-based laws of nature can also wound you!”
