A storm of destruction moved around the darkened landscape.
Wherever it went, devastation followed. The volcanoes burst open, the mountains are flattened and all forms of life are eliminated.
This violent storm was flowed by a golden lion bigger than a mountain. Tyrant, who stood on the golden growler, released powerful blade strikes into the storm.
Within the storm of destruction...
Four figures were constantly engaging with each other, colliding and attacking with the intent to kill in each attack.
The darkened diamond greatsword narrowly missed a throat by a hair's breadth.
A fierce swing retaliated, going for Han Yan's throat.
Clang!
Bian countered with the golden blade, making an opening for Man Tian.
The world itself seemed to converge on his fist, blazing brightly even in the indigo light.
"Time Skip!"
Bang!
Time skip did not save Executioner Green as she flew backwards spilling blood.
Swoosh! ×3
She still had to dodge three consecutive attacks from the Falsified-Sky sutra whilst midair.
Karma and Time
The two are like soap and oil. Each one trying to dissolve the other.
Just as how a bad deed might come back to bite you years later.
Every successful attack from the Falsified-Sky sutra took an ample amount of time and energy to reverse.
It was the attack Executioner Green feared the most. If she didn't have temporal powers to counter the karma attacks, she would have been dead ten times over.
The storm of destruction covered thousands of meters as the fighting within got more intense.
Han Yan fused with the holy angel, Bian with all three cylinders working in overdrive and Man Tian aided by the heavens.
Each one of them would be difficult enough for her to take down alone, but fighting all three was a losing battle.
The only reason she was still alive was because she had already fought them in this state in some of her previous lives.
Each time was more difficult than the last, and it seemed she would be dying here today.
All her accumulation would be gone, leaving her with only maxed out Ordinary, Primitive gene points.
"Just one!"
Executioner Green said through gritted teeth.
"I'll kill one of these bastards and send the remaining thousand clones against the rest."
Executioner Green is the most feared among the Executioners.
Her time powers meant she was nigh unkillable and her return would let her know of her enemies and prepare.
Not to mention, she could create time clones at the expense of her fitness, making her even more terrifying to deal with.
Bian felt a disturbance in space.
With the Emeprical Aura, he could sense all around him with deadly precision.
He sprinted forwards, punching at Executioner Green before she even appeared.
Pang!
Her jaw was sent flying, but reversed midair and reattached to her face.
Time skip!
Bian's consecutive punches phased through her.
Flap!
Han Yan appeared behind the Executioner like a ghost.
The dark diamond greatsword cleaved at her neck.
Slash!
Executioner Green in her time skip phase lost an arm, instead of a head.
Her other palm which was heading for Han Yan was blocked by the dark diamond greatsword.
"Time Stasis!"
A human sized bubble wrapped up Han Yan.
The time flow within the bubble was seriously distorted, preventing Han Yan from breaking out immediately.
Time Stasis wouldn't work on Bian, his instincts would always warn him beforehand. It also wouldn't work on Man Tian, the world seemed to converge on him like a shield.
Bian couldn't attack Executioner Green while she was in her time skip phase.
He decided to retreat aside, taking up a sprint position.
"Heavenly Fist!"
Man Tian flashed behind her, punching at her heart.
He was the only other person who could attack her while she was in time skip.
Executioner Green turned around with a deadly thrust counter. She was still faster than all of them.
Bian patiently waited.
Both attacks were aimed for the heart, but Executioner Green could not physically attack while in time skip.
She had to deactivate it.
Bang!!!
Bian took off faster than a bullet, arriving above the Executioner with a mighty fist.
His attack was infused with extreme Yang energy and all the elements he had obtained.
Fire, ice, lightning, wind, petrification and supression.
A multicolored vortex surrounded his fist falling at the Executioner's head.
She just recently teleported and couldn't teleport again.
If she used time skip, Man Tian's attack would burst apart her heart. Leaving her weakened and basically dead.
There was only one option.
Executioner Green deactivated all her powers and channelled the energy towards another aspect.
The white sword was coated by a bright blue layer, with microscopic gray storms swirling within.
It ripped though the heavenly protection around Man Tian, his armor, flesh, bones and then his heart.
Simultaneously, Man Tian's blow aided by the heavens went through her chest, exploding her heart.
Bian's attack landed on her head, smashing it open like a water melon.
Boom!
The storm of destruction exploded violently.
An elemental wave assaulted the land in a ten-thousand meter radius.
Everything was burnt, frozen, scattered, electrified, petrified and flattened.
At the center of this destruction.
Half a body, missing from the waist upwards, fell to the ground unceremoniously.
Fused Han Yan and All-Pillars Bian paid no attention to the half-corpse.
They both gathered around Man Tian who was kneeling on the ground.
Executioners excluded, even a surpasser would die once their heart is destroyed.
With a grim nod, both Han Yan and Bian simulated the energy flow of the silver fox and channeled silver lightning at Man Tian.
Zap!!
Even as his body twitched violently, he refused to let out a shout.
Still, the shock therapy didn't seem to be working as Man Tian got weaker and collapsed on the ground.
"It's not working." Han Yan said in dismay.
"Chaotic space currents!" Bian instantly recognised the problem.
It was the same issue that occured when he fought Executioner Blue.
Those chaotic space currents were lethal, preventing bloodclot and healing.
If they didn't remove the chaotic space currents, Bian would have definately died at some point or the other.
Unfortunately, Man Tian was not Bian.
Once he died here and now, he would be dead for real with no way of revival.
Twitch!
The pair of legs behind them, flopped.
The Empirical Aura was still active, so Bian immediately caught sight of what was going on.
Clack! Clack!! Clack!!!
It began twitching and moving in an eerie way, prompting them to move Man Tian away from there.
The half torso was moving incessantly, then it suddenly paused.
And finally it fell down powerlessly.
...
On a secured planet.
A shura who looked very much like a mature version of Zero was talking with a woman who had green hair.
"That is why-"
An indigo light flashed by in the woman's eyes and her face fell down on the table.
The shura queen was surprised and took a step back.
The body of the woman with green hair faded away like an illusion.
...
In the alliance.
A business woman collapsed and faded away.
A senior researcher collapsed and faded away.
Like an eerie sci-fi movie.
Different women with different ages, personalities and jobs began collapsing then fading away.
A man dressed in all black observed a little girl who was on her way back from school.
Surprisingly, the girl's pupil flashed indigo and she collapsed on the sofa in her mansion.
The man who was watching, Executioner Black was a little hesitatant.
His plan was very simple.
If Bian could kill Executioner Green then a flow of energy would be sent back.
A clone would receive the energy and pass it on, but the original would only receive the energy.
He was almost sure this was the main body, but needed to confirm before he dared make a move.
Surprisingly, he was wrong.
Even with all his calculations, he could have never expected to be mislead to following a clone.
As the figure of the little girl collapsed and faded away.
Executioner Black was even more surprised.
How did she die?
In that same mansion.
Thousand of kilometers underground.
A middle-aged woman with brown hair and green eyes was connecting several dots on her virtual board.
Scenes such as the war between humans and shura could clearly be seen.
There was also a list of high priority targets.
The woman had just added Bian and his family, Han Yan and her family and finally Man Tian's family.
She had not even clicked on save, when her eyes flashed with a resplendent indigo light overshadowing her green pupils.
She collapsed on her chair.
BOOM!
A thick pillar of green light shot out from her, damaging all the equipment around her.
The green pillar of light was like a giant tree with three-fourth of the large structure being green while one-fourth was a pale blue.
The pillar phased through the metals and earth securing the base, it passed though the mansion and shot high into the sky.
In the sky,
It divided into four parts.
Each part mostly green, but containing a hint of blue.
Two of those branches went off world at a speed faster than light.
The third branch penetrated reality and seeped into a dimensional crack.
The fourth branch shot straight at a figure near the mansion.
The pillar of light slowly dissipated, leaving behind gasps of awe and shock by the people who had witnessed it.
Some even thought it might have been attack and soon the mansion was flooded with security bots.
Executioner Black had dissapered after absorbing a branch of the pillar.
Only the online videos served as proof of what had just happened.
