As soon as the meteors disintegrated, the broken hand grow back into its original form.
"I see. A direct fight then. What an excitement. We only fought with its broken form for a few times, I am certainly looking for a real fight with the real thing." said Sky, who sounds like a hopeless old man despite with all the 'excitement' in his words.
"Mmm... Me too." Or rather, two hopeless old men.
Maria bitterly laughed seeing the behavior of those two.
Then, Chris waved his hand, changing the offensive barrier from dome form to a cylinder shape that just perfectly trapped the Thousand Hands in with them while avoiding any areas with living people. Both Sky and Maria removed their respective magic seal, getting ready for the big fight.
However, before they could do anything, one of the hands broke down and turned into a gigantic sheet of meaty membrane and seems to be dropping towards the area of the trio. Sensing the incoming danger, each of them agilely shifted away from their position. But what they didn't expect is that, that piece of meat membrane didn't actually aim to trap them in, and instead of that, it rapidly expanded vertically to the sky forming a gigantic net that separated Chris away from Sky and Maria.
Realizing they had been tricked, Sky frantically tried to break through the net by force along with Maria but the net remained unscratched despite how much power and strength they put on it. After several failed attempts, Sky decided to summon Seiryu to forcibly fly through the net. The Thousand Hands seems to be noticing Sky's intention, it immediately detaches five of its hands and transformed the hands into five gigantic fat translucent humanoid creatures, totally blocking Sky's path before he could go to any place...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the other side of the net.
"Ah... So, you locked your target on me huh? I guess Sky's God of Misfortune had indeed been transferred to me after all." said Chris as he sighed.
"So... How are we going to do this? Or rather, what should I do to you?" Chris asked, surprisingly calm.
"I heard that the hands of Thousand Hands are somewhat a power source for it like how hair works as a power source on some long-haired people. I wonder how relevant that information is? And should I give it a try by cutting off your hands?" said Chris.
As soon as Chris finished his words, a powerful thunder strikes down directly towards him, despite dodging the thunder just in time, his sleeve got charred for a bit.
"Hmm... I guess I will take that as a yes." said Chris as he pulled out a black single-edged sword from the air.
And yes, that's our beloved Ten Thousand Bucks Free Gift.
With that Ten Thousand Bucks Free Gift and Ben's enhancement, Chris jumped up into mid-air, waved his sword, and blasted a sharp and powerful magic blast towards the Thousand Hands. Probably due to the power enhancement from Ben, Chris successfully landed a solid unrecoverable wound onto three of the gigantic arms. Upon that successful attack from Chris, the Thousand Hands suddenly turned aggressive, it is starting to throw some powerful beams toward Chris as its speed to move out of the vortex increased rapidly...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the Secret Base. Everyone is watching the battle between the three Immortals with the Thousand Hands with a tensed expression, except for Ben who is providing support to them, and Jason who is guarding the whole place with full alertness.
Dominic is slightly losing his composure after witnessing how the Thousand Hands turned aggressive towards Chris, he feels that he needs to get out of the building and provide some assistance for Chris. Jason politely stopped him.
"Mr. Dominic, you can't get out of the building right now, it's too dangerous outside." said Jason in a polite tone.
"But they are out there, trying to protect everyone in the building despite the life dangers they are facing, especially for Chris, that thing is obviously targeting on him. I had promised Arianna to protect her family no matter what happened." said Dominic, who seems to be rather anxious and lost his composure as a five thousand years old angel.
"You did?... No, Master Chris had given me a command to not let anyone out of this building. So, please just get back in and don't make my work difficult." said Jason, who still remained his polite tone but with a sterner attitude.
"No, you don't understand... Hey!..."
All of the sudden, Dominic got pulled back and fixed onto a couch by an invisible force.
"I wish you could sit still and remain unharmed... I might need your help for the healing in case I am unable to after this war." said Ben, who sounds slightly out of breath.
"Furthermore, even if you are able to pass through Jason... There is no way you can break through Chris's double-sided barrier." Ben added.
And obviously, he isn't as polite as Jason was...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Chris is getting targeted by the Thousand Hands, Sky and Maria are having a hard time as well. Despite with the multiple attacks from both Sky and Maria, the fat translucent humanoid creatures don't seem to be scratched at all, they are obviously much stronger than those they had fought before.
Facing the difficult situation, Sky stared at his left hand with a serious and determined look. Knowing what Sky is trying to do, Maria immediately stopped him.
"Darling, don't do it! You just recovered from the impact of that curse on you, your body cannot afford that anymore." said Maria, rather worried as he blasted a deadly black fireball at one of the humanoid creatures that are nearest to them...

Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
