Chapter 220 - 220: Black Hole
Both of them gathered all their energy around them and finally they were finished powering up.
Lin Fan had five different coloured laws around him gathered in a spiral around his sword.
Lord Jin was covered in a golden glow from head to toe, except for his silver eyes that pierced through that golden light. The one thing different was that he no longer had the sword made of spatial laws in his hand.
Both of them just stared at each other for a few seconds before suddenly charging forward without any prompt.
Lin Fan wielded his giant blade covered in five laws that he swung down with all his might while Lord Jin seemingly had nothing at all in his hands, however his hands were together like he was gathering something.
As he charged forward, the space in between his hands seemed to distort, like space was being compressed inside of it. This was definitely not something that should have been possible with Soul Realm laws, this was something that shouldn't have been possible under the God Realm.
The space in between his hands continued to compress until there was nothing but darkness in a single point in the middle of it.
He had used spatial laws to compress space to the point where gravity had collapsed upon itself, creating a miniature black hole.
Once the black hole had been formed, Lord Jin pushed it out with both hands at Lin Fan's giant sword.
The black hole flew through the air until it collided with Lin Fan's zweihander, instantly sucking away all the laws that it came in contact with. Lin Fan's zweihander had been reduced to a strange state where the half of it facing Lin Fan was covered in laws still while the other half's laws had been sucked away.
But the moment it did suck away the laws, it also stopped moving as if there was some strange force keeping it away.
Lin Fan felt this and immediately released all his life energy, creating sending out more laws to hold back the black hole.
The side that wasn't facing the black hold suddenly lit up with even more light while a faint layer of light appeared on the side that was facing the black hole.
Lord Jin also noticed this and his hands that had been out the whole time pushed forward again as the golden light around him became even stronger.
He had been controlling this black hole with his spiritual sense the entire time, so he could feel that there was something that was blocking it. Since that was the case, the only thing for him to do was to push it forward with as much energy as possible.
Both of them injected as much life energy as they could into their attacks, but it was stuck in a stalemate.
However, after a few seconds, the black hole was slowly being pushed back.
Lord Jin could tell that even though the black hole was stronger, there was something strange that was absorbing his spatial laws and weakening the black hole.
Slowly the black hole began to deform and decrease in size, shrinking and shrinking until it wasn't even half the size it had been in the beginning.
Finally, the black hole couldn't maintain its form any longer and was slashed in half by Lin Fan's zweihander blade.
The moment the zweihander cut right through the black hole, the golden glow around Lord Jin disappeared and he collapsed to the ground.
The one thing that was different from the last time that Lin Fan used the combination of five laws was that his arms didn't shatter this time. There were two reasons for this.
One reason was that there was nothing to make contact with his attack, which meant that most of the energy had naturally dissipated. Since there was nothing to rebound part of the attack to him and force him to suffer the backlash, there was no damage to him.
The second reason was that the black hole had sucked up half of the rampant energy of the attack which greatly reduced the backlash Lin Fan would have suffered in the first place.
Lord Yin immediately used the shadow dagger in his hand to create a pool of shadows and when he reappeared again, he was right by Lord Jin, catching him as he fell.
After laying him on the ground, he turned to face Lin Fan and quickly raised his dagger in a defensive stance.
Angela had also appeared beside Lin Fan in the blink of an eye, at a speed that wasn't slower than Lord Yin.
Lord Yin knew that this situation was bad, but he had no choice but to face both of them if they wanted to escape.
Right when he was about to attack, Lord Jin said in a weak voice, "Yin, stop."
Lord Yin looked at Lord Jin and said, "Jin, you just lay there, I'll take care of this."
But then Lin Fan said, "I think this game is over and it should be considered our victory, correct? Then can you please send them out first?"
Lord Yin and Lord Jin were both surprised by Lin Fan's words, but they also quickly understood the meaning behind Lin Fan's words.
Lord Yin gave some of his life energy to Lord Jin who then used his spatial laws to send the three young geniuses out.
Once that was done, there were only the five of them left in this room. There was Lin Fan and Angela, the two beasts, and Yin Zi who had been weakly lying on the throne after having her vitality drained.
Lord Jin looked at Lin Fan and asked, "What do you…"
But before he could finish, Lin Fan cut him off by raising a finger to his lips and making a "shh" sound. After this, he turned his head and said, "Angela."
Angela nodded in response to this and with a snap of her finger, there was a shattering sound that came from above them that was like glass being shattered.
Lin Fan then turned over to Yin Zi and pointed at her, sending out his laws at her.
Yin Zi naturally saw this and tried to dodge, but in her weakened state, she couldn't move at all.
Lin Fan's laws hit her on the forehead and she immediately lost consciousness.
Lin Fan turned back to Lord Jin and said, "Now, we can talk."
Lord Yin didn't relax his guard, but Lord Jin had him help him up so he could speak.
Lord Jin's voice trembled as he spoke, but he said, "What do you want from me?"
Lin Fan said, "I know you have a story to tell and I'm willing to listen. Moreover, I can take care of those death pills inside of you if I like your story."
Lord Yin and Lord Jin looked at each other in shock, but they quickly calmed down as well.
They knew that the shattering sound just now was Angela breaking the monitoring artifact that had been watching them the entire time. Now they were able to talk freely.
Lord Jin gave a sigh before saying, "Then do you know the situation of the Beast Clan?"
Lin Fan shook his head.
Lord Jin said, "I'll start from the beginning then. Everyone thinks that the Beast Clan is a clan, but it's not that. The Beast Clan survives on the law of the weak follows the strong and the strong enslaves the weak. There are some tribes where they follow human structures and everyone takes care of each other, but those tribes are in the minority. Most tribes are led by a single leader who enslaves the rest of the tribe and that is the kind of tribe we come from."
Lin Fan revealed a confused look when he heard this as he asked, "With your ability, while it might not be possible for you to win, you can definitely escape. So why didn't you?"
Lord Jin revealed a bitter smile, "You truly are a smart human. The reason why we couldn't escape was because…"
Before he could finish, Lord Yin cut him off, "Jin, we can't trust this human. You can't tell him our secret."
But Lord Jin turned to him with a stern look and said, "Yin, we can trust him. I know we can trust him."
Lord Yin still looked a bit hesitant as he said, "But…" But he didn't say anything else after that and just stood back.
Lord Jin turned back to Lin Fan and said, "We couldn't leave because we had to protect our princess. The leader of the tribe somehow captured the princess and held her hostage to use against us. If it wasn't for that, we would have been able to easily escape like all the other times."
Lin Fan was confused once again, "Princess?"
Lord Jin didn't immediately reply this time. He took some time to think before saying, "Are you willing to help us?"
Lin Fan said in a calm voice, "Without telling me what kind of help you need, how can I help you?"
Lord Jin hesitated a bit more before saying with a sigh, "You're right, we have to show sincerity before we can ask for your help."
Then he turned to Lord Yin and said, "Yin, bring the princess here and let her meet him. She'll know what to do better than us."
Lord Yin still looked hesitant, but things had developed this far, so he had no other choice.
Lord Yin disappeared into a pool of shadows and after a few minutes, he came back with something in his arms.
It was a fox that had completely silver fur.
