The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 896 - 578: Same Level

All those held captive in the Nether Prison are extremely sensitive to death.

If not, they would have perished in the battles before their imprisonment, rather than being cast into the prison helplessly by their foes.

So, the moment it was released, it launched an attack without hesitation.

There are only two scenarios for being released: one is someone opening the prison through special means to aid in an escape; the other is...

The Nether Prison in the Star Realm is a special space, similar to the elemental plane within the entire Star Realm.

It can be opened anywhere, but requires precise nodes and a key.

This means these prisoners are held in unknown locations, unless rituals reveal their exact positions and establish a connection to unlock it with a key.

Information about the detention location is only known to those who imprisoned them.

This leads to very few truly being released compared to the number imprisoned.

Few righteous people would retain this intelligence.

Apart from opening the cage to aid in escape, it's more common to open it to bring about their true death. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

After all, mere imprisonment cannot completely resolve the issue. Granting them eternal extinction is the best punishment for their crimes.

Therefore, many have been studying how to target a specific existence to bring about their death, and once a method is devised, they swiftly execute them.

This is why this practice is called "Executioner".

The sensitivity to death made this Metal Giant sense something was amiss as it stepped out of the cage.

The world's extreme malice towards the Intruder completely enveloped it.

Undoubtedly, if it truly died here, everything would be consumed by the Power of the World.

Its ability to escape the world would also dissipate in the face of this extreme power of the world.

Thus, the person before it must be the Executioner sent to execute it.

Chains made of blood and metal tangled around its body, binding one of its arms.

"With just these? You think you can trap me?"

It roared disdainfully, fiercely breaking free from the chains, and shattered the oncoming blood and Silver intertwined spikes with a punch.

The Nail Hammer swung in the air, with foul energy carrying thick smoke and screams surging towards Kana.

The two continued to battle back and forth.

The Undead Dragon floated in mid-air, watching the battle from afar.

On the surface, it seemed both sides were merely colliding with the forces they controlled.

But this was the essence of the Legendary Stage, where power clashes reduced all combat to its purest form.

It could clearly see why Kana chose to release this prisoner — Kana understood it well enough, and even had powers that could restrain it.

The Metal Giant appeared to be a force of brute strength, yet most of its power was concealed within that foul energy.

As the Undead Dragon, it could clearly feel the torment and deathly aura brought by the foul energy.

This was an aura composed of pure tormented evil spirits, the purest source of power, utterly evil.

The so-called Legendary is about ascending to the Extraordinary realm with a particular force.

And the power brought by the aura of these tormented evil spirits has a strong suppressive force on living beings.

It targets souls; merely seeing the tormented foul energy would cause souls to tremble.

Every attack initiated by this aura, with its accompanying screech and emerging mad arms, destabilizes and torments the soul.

Beings unable to cope, overwhelmed by the spreading foul energy, would lose their ability to resist, getting dragged in by these evil arms, tormented until they become part of them.

The Undead Dragon was well aware of Kana's research on souls, having even established a mechanism through the Stone of Creation sufficient for casual resurrection (though only within this tower).

This undoubtedly verified Kana's achievements in soul research.

In its view, facing enemy attacks, Kana's soul didn't even waver.

This was why Kana could effortlessly dodge every attack directed at him.

Unaffected by the accompanying force of the attacks, Kana was naturally able to evade at will.

Although Kana seemed to be at a disadvantage, he actually held an absolute advantage. The enemy's attacks became more urgent, revealing a suppressed state.

"Hmph."

The Metal Giant snorted, and the pervasive foul energy instantly converged back into its body.

Almost instantly, the foul energy returned to its interior, and the entire space reverted to purity.

The foul energy lingered in the hollow parts and crevices of its body, morphing into tentacle-like structures, occasionally revealing an arm, as if tormented souls were trying to break free.

The Undead Dragon's expression turned serious; this was clearly the Metal Giant's more formidable state.

Her current condition was weakened due to transformational issues, but that did not mean her former strength was false.

She had an astute awareness, even beyond the ongoing battle's stage.

Hence, she seemed surprised.

For Kana appeared to be at ease, seemingly observing or making some judgment?

Did he believe the battle was under his control?

But what about the enemy in its current state?

"I've had enough of you dodging like a fly, now leave your soul behind."

With that, the Metal Giant enveloped in black mist practically appeared before Kana in an instant, its attack following closely.

The wall made of metal and blood tried to block it but was effortlessly torn as if it were paper.

Kana barely dodged.

A mass of attacks made of blood and metal turned into phantoms, constantly crashing toward the opponent.

Yet, at this moment, these attacks seemed ineffective, being dissolved by the pervasive black mist arms before reaching the opponent.

"Useless! Only power is eternal!"

The enormous body flickered at an unreasonable speed, instantly appearing before Kana, swinging a Heavy Hammer fiercely.

This time it finally landed, sending Kana flying.

The Undead Dragon acted immediately, catching Kana in mid-air, mitigating the impact.

"Your arm."

Having been struck, Kana blocked slightly with his left hand, his arm was being corroded by the black foul energy, with tiny arms extending and clawing.

"Don't worry, it's just a pesky fly."

Kana said, shaking his hand, and his entire arm instantly transformed into a radiant shape, dispersing the foul energy instantly.

With Kana standing on the ground again, he glanced at the nearby Undead Dragon, smiling, "Seems I worried you, but playtime ends here."

"?" The Undead Dragon couldn't comprehend why Kana remained so calm.

At that moment, Kana was merely staring at the approaching Metal Giant slowly walking ahead.

"I've completely discerned its capabilities. Though there's a deviation from my intelligence, it's within an acceptable range.

Next, let it become my first puppet."

"Arrogant!"

With a roar, the Four-armed Metal Giant charged towards Kana.
