"Bang--!"

Above Falling Star Valley, a loud explosion rang out, and the shockwave dispersed the surrounding blood mist!

A figure radiating dark golden light was slammed back hundreds of meters, its feet carving out two white shockwaves in the void.

"That felt great! That really felt great!"

Domoko, wielding a five-meter-long dark silver dragon spear, stood proudly atop the back of the golden dragon Ike. His thick beard danced in the wind as he shouted, "Hey! You bald black bastard, is that all the strength you have? Not even enough to tickle me!"

"hold head high--!"

The dragon beneath him, Ike, understood immediately and let out a roar that pierced the clouds and shattered rocks. Ike's massive body twisted in the air, its tail lashing out with a whooshing sound as it hurtled towards Bhadra's head!

"You mere ants dare to attempt to shake my indestructible golden body!"

Bhadra laughed in anger, his already dark skin now completely covered with a layer of dark gold patterns.

Facing the dragon's attack, Bhadra neither dodged nor evaded, but roared, "Break!"

He raised his thick arms and crossed them above his head, attempting to take the blow with his own body.

"clang--!!!"

The deafening clang of metal clashing echoed through the sky, sending sparks flying everywhere.

Bhadra's golden body trembled violently, his face contorted. In the instant the dragon's tail struck, Domoko's dragon spear had already thrust out from a tricky angle!

"Pfft!"

The dark silver spear tip, imbued with sharp power of law, pierced through Bhadra's golden body defense, leaving a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain on his left shoulder! Dark golden blood gushed out!

"Damn it!" Bhadra grunted, stepping back with a face full of shock and anger.

"Golden Body? I'll stab your Golden Body!" Domoko laughed wildly, ready to press his advantage.

Just then, a flippant voice rang out from the edge of the battlefield.

"Bhadra, you're really pathetic. You can't even handle a large winged lizard and a squeaking insect?"

In the void, a man dressed in a pure white suit appeared out of nowhere. He had his hands in his pockets and stood on the void, his spotless white suit creating a stark contrast with the bloody and cruel sacrificial array below.

Koch.

Looking at the repeatedly injured Bhadra, he shook his head helplessly: "Let me help you clean up the place."

Before he finished speaking, Koch pulled out one hand and snapped his fingers at the golden dragon that was rapidly swooping down from the sky.

"Smack."

The sound was extremely soft, yet it touched upon the fundamental rules of the world.

"Bang--!"

The giant dragon Ike, which was flying at high speed, suddenly crashed into an invisible wall. Its massive body paused, and it let out a painful wail.

"What's going on?!" Domoko's expression changed, and he swung his dragon spear forward, shouting, "Break through!"

However, the invincible spear light, when it struck the empty void in front of it, only created circles of transparent ripples.

Invisible wall!

No, that's not just an invisible wall; it's a barrier that completely locks the space in place!

Koch's fingers traced randomly in the air. "Left, right, up... Stay in the cage, you big lizard."

As he moved, invisible walls of air appeared out of thin air around Ike.

The dragon roared angrily in the air, charging left and right, but kept hitting walls. The recoil caused the hard golden scales on Ike's body to crack, and blood flowed freely.

"Damn it! What kind of trick is this?!" Domoko roared repeatedly, thrusting his dragon spear wildly, but he was still unable to break through the strange spatial blockade in a short time.

"It's just a trivial trick." Koch smiled, his eyes filled with disdain. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Just as Koch focused his attention on Domoko, a dazzling blue lightning bolt suddenly erupted from his blind spot to the side!

"Die! Heretic!"

It's Thor!

He was enveloped in deep blue lightning, pushing his speed to the limit. ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) He transformed into a bolt of lightning, his Thor's hammer unleashing devastating energy as it hurtled towards Koch's head!

"A sneak attack? Do you think I'm some brainless idiot like Bhadra?"

Faced with this terrifying blow that could level a mountain, Koch didn't even turn his head.

He simply raised his left hand casually and flicked his fingers backward.

"Buzz—!"

An air wall compressed to its limit took shape in front of Thor's warhammer.

"Shatter!" Thor's eyes were bloodshot as he poured all his mana into his warhammer.

However, when the warhammer struck the transparent wall, the violent lightning power was completely absorbed without causing any reaction.

"Too weak. Your pride and joy is nothing more than a child's toy." Koch turned his head, looked at Thor's horrified face, and laughed mockingly.

The next second, Koch flipped his hand over.

"Here you go."

"Bang--!"

The air wall that had absorbed all the power of Thor's hammer shattered instantly!

The recoil force, several times more violent than the lightning Thor had just unleashed, surged wildly back into Thor's body through the warhammer!

"puff--!"

Thor coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted. The terrifying force even severed his control over Mjolnir, which, under Koch's manipulation, traced a bizarre arc in mid-air and slammed back towards Thor's chest!

"No--!"

Thor was shocked and used all his strength to conjure a lightning shield in front of him.

"Bang!"

The shield shattered instantly.

His own signature weapon became his death warrant. Thor was sent flying hundreds of meters away by his own Mjolnir, streaked with blood, and crashed heavily into the ravine below, his fate unknown.

"Thor!!!" Domoko roared furiously, his eyes wide with rage.

"Stop yelling, he won't die, just let him be quiet for a while." Koch patted the dust off his hands, as if shooing away an annoying fly.

Thor, who had fallen into a pile of rubble in the mountain stream, was vomiting mouthfuls of blood. He struggled to prop himself up, but found that he couldn't even move a single finger.

"How could this be... how could there be such a big difference..."

Thor stared at the man in the white suit high in the sky, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

He is the pride of the Free Federation, an SS-level genius hailed as Thor!

Only now did he truly understand that while everyone else was rated SS-level, he, at just over level 50, was utterly unqualified to even participate in the battle against these monsters who had lived for countless years! This was an insurmountable chasm!

"You bastards! I'm going to kill you all!"

In the sky, Domoko, who had witnessed Thor being severely injured, went completely berserk.

"Get out of my way!"
