Pompeii jolted his spear, deflecting the incoming sword's edge.
However, Lu Mingfei seemed to have anticipated this, his wrist twisting, and the sword's tip strangely dropped, bypassing the incoming Gungnir, and directly stabbing into Pompeii's chest.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Two sounds echoed at the same time.
Gungnir pierced through Lu Mingfei's right chest, its tip splashing a spray of blood.
But at the same moment, Pride pierced through Pompeii's left chest. The activated alchemy matrix instantly woke up, like a rampaging dragon, revealing its fangs!
"Ahhh—!"
Pompeii screamed, his face filled with disbelief.
He looked at Lu Mingfei in anger and shock, as if he hadn't expected his opponent to exchange injury for injury!
The activated Pride deeply stabbed into his heart, continuously drinking dragon blood, causing Pompeii to seethe with rage and try to pull it out.
But once it was embedded in the heart, it couldn't be pulled out unless the execution was over!
Lu Mingfei ignored the wound on his chest, raising his hand directly. He sensed the summoned "Envy" and "Wrath" approaching instantly.
Boom!!!
His form was like a ghost, yet incredibly forceful and unyielding.
He broke through the shockwave, stepping through the howling wind and the loud noises of the hall. The moment his feet hit the ground, it sounded like the beating of war drums.
Terrifying dust and broken stones flew into the sky.
For a moment, the entire Hall of the Gods seemed to shake under his step, cracks spreading across the stone pillars, as if they were silently mourning.
Pompeii's pupils constricted, his heart filled with extreme fury: "You'll never succeed!"
Gungnir shot out like a shooting star. Even though he was in the realm of "Sin and Punishment," where his Word Soul was restricted, the "Guaranteed Hit" effect still worked!
With a swing of his arm, terrifying power made his muscles swell, the dark scales on his body stretched nearly to the breaking point. He tightened his grip on the divine spear, pouring all his strength into it. Bathed in the brilliance of thunder, he fiercely hurled it, creating a perfect parabolic arc within the temple!
Screech!
The sound wave exploded, thunder rumbled!
A beam of light, wrapped in blazing lightning, shot through the air like a meteor.
The speed was extreme!
Almost the instant it left his hand, it was already mere meters away from Lu Mingfei, and what was most terrifying was the deathly stillness that seemed to follow the glowing trail, spreading like a barren wasteland.
Staring at Gungnir, so close now, a flash of the little devil's image suddenly crossed Lu Mingfei's mind.
What would he do if it were him?
"Lu Mingfei—!"
Suddenly, a voice, unknown to him, pulled him back from his thoughts.
Lu Mingfei's eyes suddenly brightened, then he whispered softly, as if calling something: "Lu Mingze, if it were you, you'd do this, right?"
The next moment, pink flower petals blossomed in front of him, layer after layer.
"Divine Sky's Seven Ringed Shield!"
What was supposed to only exist in anime, he had now recreated in reality.
Known as the strongest defense against flying objects, based on ancient Greek mythology, the seven-ringed shield of petals stacked upon each other, creating the ultimate defensive stance!
Boom—!
Gungnir collided with the Seven Ringed Shield, instantly erupting in a dazzling shower of sparks.
With the effect of Guaranteed Hit, the complex and profound inscriptions around Gungnir, along with the dazzling lightning, emitted a radiant glow.
Its power not only didn't diminish, but over time, it became increasingly terrifying. The spear spun, creating a spiral wind, like a high-speed impact drill!
Each time it pierced through a layer, a deafening explosion rang out, and waves of air pressure continuously struck in all directions, tearing apart the ground beneath Lu Mingfei's feet.
Boom!
But in the end, even the seven-layered celestial ring couldn't block the legendary Gungnir.
"That's enough."
Lu Mingfei lowered his head, almost as if apologizing to someone.
He took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale all the air around him into his lungs.
The massive airflow stirred up a storm, and the visible air seemed to gather from all directions, flowing into the boy's body. He lifted his head, and his golden eyes, fierce and terrifying, blazed with a fiery light as bright as the sun: "Sixteen times... enhancement!"
In the next moment, an overwhelming force descended from the sky, like a divine strike, entering his body.
His muscles and bones were instantly torn apart, only to be immediately repaired. His entire body was undergoing a terrifying transformation, with sounds like glaciers cracking—dense and unsettling.
Sharp bone spikes protruded from his body, and layers of pitch-black scales, like armor, covered him. His flesh on the back suddenly tore apart, and two black membranous wings extended fiercely, as if proclaiming his immense power, spreading wildly!
The Gungnir, which had been aimed at Lu Mingfei, was suddenly stopped in midair by an invisible force.
And when thrown, the Gungnir, which was supposed to hit without fail, was instead sent flying by that same force.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The heavy, thunderous heartbeat seemed to awaken the ancient kings of old.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei looked like a demon, covered in dark scales, with huge black wings growing from his back. His hands had turned into claws, and his pupils burned with a fiery golden glow.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Mingfei vanished from his original position.
A hurricane tore through the granite floor of the Pantheon, and the fierce wind, like an enraged dragon's roar, surged through the sky with thunderous speed, even leaving its sound far behind.
Pompei's pupils suddenly widened in shock, sensing an overwhelming sense of danger. Instinctively, he recalled Gungnir, directing it toward a certain spot with his consciousness.
Swish!
Gungnir struck a shadow.
But before Pompei could smile, the shadow disappeared in front of his eyes, like a reflection in water.
"No, it's an afterimage!"
He realized he'd been tricked, but his body couldn't react in time.
Boom!
The murderous glare flashed before his eyes.
Immediately after, a ground-shaking punch struck, causing the entire temple to tremble as if the very air around them was about to shatter!
Fierce!
Brutal!
Overbearing!
In an instant, Pompeii couldn't withstand it and was struck in the abdomen.
The rocky ground cracked inch by inch, huge chunks of white stone shattered, turning into swirling sand and dust. A visible shockwave rapidly expanded, creating a powerful explosion of sound!
"Ahhh!"
Even with the Dragon King's body, he couldn't handle the power of this punch.
Pompeii was sent flying like a shooting star, crashing through several stone pillars. His body carved a wide trench in the ground, as if plowed by a harrow!
His previously strong scales shattered under the force of the punch. Pompeii was coughing up blood, looking completely battered.
Lu Mingfei's figure flickered, crossing dozens of meters in an instant.
Before Pompeii could recover, he raised his foot and slammed it down.
Boom!
Pompeii was stomped into the ground, and the surrounding area immediately caved in.
Lu Mingfei's foot pressed on Pompeii's chest as he raised both arms, his fingers curling inward.
In an instant, the Seven Deadly Sins, as if summoned, flew into his palms.
With lust and gluttony, he stabbed into the kneecap.
"You shall repay your transgression with pain!"
With greed, he sliced open the dragon scales on the head.
With sloth, he pierced both eyes and cut through the nose.
"You shall repay your arrogance with your eyes!"
With pride and envy, he severed the roots of the dragon wings, piercing the bone spikes and pinning them to the ground.
With wrath, he pierced the back of the Dragon King's head.
"You shall repay your betrayal with blood!"
The cleaver cut into the dragon's spine, severing its spinal nerves.
At this point, the judgment of the Seven Deadly Sins was nearing its end!
Lu Mingfei lowered his cold golden eyes, his voice like the vengeful fire from the depths of hell, chilling to the bone, as he looked at the struggling Pompeii and spoke the final judgment:
"On the day I return to the world, all traitors shall die!"
In the next moment, the alchemy domain 'Sin and Punishment' was fully activated!
