Apocalypse Gachapon

Everyone was stunned.

The appearance of the throne of bones was far too abrupt.

Waves of dark wind swept through the air, carrying a ghostly chill, as if a world full of undead had descended.

When the Skeletal King rose from the throne, everyone’s eyes widened.

Formed from 70,000 skeletons, the Skeletal King possessed 2.4 million points in each attribute—a total of 9.6 million.

That was already very close to God-level.

Lin Moyu immediately activated Enhance Troops, and the Skeletal King’s attributes surged past their limits, stepping directly into God-level, and not merely the lowest tier.

Yet just this was far from enough.

The Skeletal King now faced the Demon Emperor. Even across the spatial channel, the Demon Emperor’s might was absolute.

Only a Half-Step Transcendent God-level powerhouse could truly resist him.

With Emperor Di still absent, many believed the Skeletal King would be overwhelmed.

However, Lin Moyu disagreed.

Enhance Troops wasn’t just about raising attributes. Its true terror lay in the +500% damage amplification.

The Skeletal King’s will fused with Lin Moyu’s own, locking firmly onto the Demon Emperor’s giant hand.

Skill: Godslayer!

Skill: Elemental Rampage!

Both skills were unleashed at once.

Though they could be used on areas or single targets, their destructive power was vastly greater when focused on single targets.

[Godslayer: unleashes damage equal to 10x the user’s strength attribute, striking a single target or an area. Cooldown: 1 minute.]

[Elemental Rampage: unleashes elemental damage equal to 10x the user’s spirit attribute, striking a single target or an area. Cooldown: 1 minute.]

With Enhance Troops active, the Skeletal King’s strength reached 3 million, a value that even most God-level powerhouses could not match.

However, after breaking through to God-level, the effect of the Enhance Troops skill clearly began to weaken. Its usual 200% increase had been restricted.

Similarly, the true power of a skill could no longer be measured by its literal attributes, otherwise 10 times 3 million would be equivalent to 30 million in strength.

Not even the Demon Emperor possessed such a high strength attribute.

Beyond God-level, strength depended not just on the attribute, but also on mastery, synchronization, and other factors.

Sometimes, even a 10% attribute increase could double actual attack power.

Even so, Lin Moyu placed all his hopes on Godslayer, its might magnified by +500% damage from Enhance Troops.

This was the limit the Skeletal King could reach for now.

The same applied to Elemental Rampage.

A sword ray—awe-inspiring, 1,000-meter-long—slashed fort, tearing through the fabric of space.

With a thunderous crack, the sky split open, revealing a gaping void of darkness.

Feng Chang’an was stunned.

Even he, a God-level expert, could not unleash such a strike.

That Skeletal King’s strike had already surpassed his limits.

Lin Moyu’s power defied his imagination.

The sword ray slammed into the Demon Emperor’s hand.

It was Lin Moyu’s second clash with the Demon Emperor. The first, at Shenxia City, Lin Moyu managed to force the Demon Emperor to retreat by with the help of the Thunderclap Tower.

But this time, the Demon Emperor had come prepared. Lin Moyu felt a flicker of uncertainty.

A Law Crystal was already in his hand; if this strike failed, he was ready to wager everything.

The sword ray roared, and the heavens blazed.

Then the elements went wild, exploding upon the Demon Emperor’s hand.

Two skills—one physical, one elemental—fused perfectly, releasing unimaginable destruction.

The Demon Emperor’s colossal hand trembled; visible cracks spider-webbed across its surface.

Just as Lin Moyu dared to hope, the Demon Emperor’s hand clenched, and a deafening bang resounded, crushing the attack into dust.

The Demon Emperor’s hand, after faltering for a heartbeat, reached again for the Soul Millstone.

Disappointment flickered in Lin Moyu’s eyes. However, this was within expectation.

The Skeletal King swung its massive sword and charged forth, its cloak billowing, turning into a streak of white light that crashed against the Demon Emperor’s hand.

At the same time, silver light, tinged with gold, burst from its body.

[Absolute Defense: grants 99% damage immunity and complete immunity to all negative statuses for 1 minute. Cooldown: 10 minutes.]

The Skeletal King had activated its final skill—Absolute Defense.

Even stronger than a Knight’s Extreme Defense, it rendered the Skeletal King nearly invincible for 1 minute.

Though towering 20 meters tall, the Skeletal King still seemed small before the Demon Emperor’s colossal hand.

The Demon Emperor’s gigantic hand closed around the Skeletal King, squeezing tight.

Boom!

The Skeletal King exploded.

Lin Moyu froze in shock. Even the soul force he was channeling came to an abrupt halt.

“How could this be?!” He stared in disbelief.

“Scared stiff, aren’t you? Terrified out of your mind! Hahaha!”

Antares’s mocking voice suddenly echoed in Lin Moyu’s mind.

“Antares? How is he here?” Lin Moyu thought to himself.

“Stop zoning out. It’s only a trace of my will attached to this girl.”

As Antares’s voice sounded, a brilliant figure appeared before Lin Moyu’s eyes.

High above, a fire phoenix soared across the sky, and upon its back stood a woman in crimson.

Words could not capture her magnificence.

Lin Mohan, twin swords in hand, standing atop the fire phoenix, radiated heroic splendor.

“Soaring Phoenix!”

Her clear shout pierced the heavens. The fire phoenix let out a sharp cry and dove straight into the Demon Emperor’s colossal hand.

Flames erupted. The giant hand recoiled, burning furiously.

The fire phoenix’s power was overwhelming. It had actually burned the Demon Emperor.

Only then did Lin Moyu realize that his sister had already ascended to God-level.

Her leveling speed was beyond belief. To reach God-level in just three years, such a feat had never been recorded in history.

At least in this age, Lin Mohan stood alone.

With the twin swords crossed, flames whirling around her, she danced like a fairy in a field of flowers—graceful, fierce, breathtaking.

A single glance could steal one’s soul. Compared to her, even the charm of Succubi was pale and powerless.

“Raging Dragon Dance!”

A fire dragon, 100 meters long, darted forth, colliding with the Demon Emperor’s gigantic hand.

The Demon Emperor’s gigantic hand once again recoiled, but it immediately returned to normal.

Though Lin Mohan’s attacks blazed with power, they were still weaker than the Skeletal King’s strikes.

The Skeletal King’s attack power had already surpassed Lin Moyu’s imagination.

That final blow, shattering Absolute Defense in an instant, had similarly exceeded Lin Moyu’s expectation.

But now was no time for reflection.

A moment later, a chill wind swept through once more. The massive throne of bones reappeared.

Seated upon it was the Skeletal King.

Although the Demon Emperor had destroyed the Skeletal King, the truth was that the Skeletal King was composed of 70,000 skeletons.

Those skeletons had not perished, but regenerated within the summon space.

Lin Moyu summoned the Skeletal King once more.

When it reappeared, the Enhance Troops skill’s effect was still active, with more than 20 seconds remaining.

Everything that had happened so far had taken only two or three seconds.

The Skeletal King’s skills had also been completely refreshed.

Its sudden return drew the Demon Emperor’s attention; a soft exclamation echoed from the Demon Emperor’s Palace.

The Skeletal King raised its sword once again.

Skill: Godslayer!

Skill: Elemental Rampage!

Both skills erupted at once.

This time, however, the Demon Emperor’s colossal hand didn’t merely endure the assault, but reached out to seize the Skeletal King.

The combined strikes landed, deepening the cracks across the colossal hand until it seemed ready to shatter.

Even so, the hand closed around the Skeletal King, squeezing hard.

Silver-gold light flared across the Skeletal King’s body as Absolute Defense had been triggered.

Yet, with a thunderous boom, the Skeletal King was smashed once more.

Seizing the fleeting moment, Lin Moyu channeled a stream of soul force into Lin Mohan.

Lin Mohan didn’t resist, accepting it readily.

Then Antares’s voice rang out again: “It’s useless. Your skills, no matter how strong, cannot compare to the Demon Emperor’s power.”

“Why?” Lin Moyu demanded.

“This is the power of laws. No matter how strong your attributes are, or how powerful your defense is—even if multiplied tenfold—it would be useless.”

“Before the Demonic Emperor’s law force, no matter how tough your skeleton’s defense is, it will be instantly shattered!”

Antares’s words extinguished Lin Moyu’s final hope.

In the past, he had always triumphed, overwhelming enemies far above his level through sheer power or relentless numbers.

But against the Demon Emperor, none of his tactics worked.

“I refuse to believe it!”

The skeletons revived once again. The Skeletal King rose for the third time.

This time, Lin Moyu summoned the Undying Lich, whose Undying Ring granted his skeletons one more chance at resurrection.

He was determined to try again. If this failed, he would use the Law Crystals.
