Chapter 74: Join the Justice League (Patreon)

Body Sequence. As the name suggests, it was the structure of the entire body… along with the protective structure of energy that leaks out of that whole body.

For Rudeus, who had mastered the atomic level, the logic was simple. Once he knew the makeup of an enemy's body and its defenses, then… he could naturally prescribe the right remedy.

Before, he hadn't been able to break through Dragon God Orsted's laser attacks. Now!!! He could cut straight through Dragon God Orsted's dragon battle aura defenses too, reach the innermost core of the body, and tear it apart!!!

But given Dragon God Orsted's enormous recovery power, Rudeus had no intention of using a war of attrition, with its low output and long, drawn-out struggle.

He… planned to go straight for the matching atomic collapse bombs, plus fusion bombs on the side.

A little gift for Dragon God Orsted. A taste of the new stuff!!!

Rudeus grinned and charged at Dragon God Orsted.

Whoosh!!!!

The next moment… Dragon God Orsted cut Rudeus clean in two.

But it was exactly then that Rudeus's body set off the atomic collapse explosion he had prepared for this very purpose.

And at the same time!!! The instantly revived Rudeus started hurling fusion bombs at Dragon God Orsted, one after another.

Enormous mushroom clouds rose into the sky, again and again.

A few unlucky Red Dragons had barely gotten close when the blazing flames scorched their bodies. Screaming without pause, they fell into the blast radius of the fusion bombs.

One, two, three, four!!!! Ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand!!!!

In that moment!!! The colossal, unbelievably violent explosions began tearing the entire Central Continent apart along the line of the Red Dragon Mountain Range… wider and wider, without end.

The continental plates began to break up!!!

The towering Red Dragon Mountain Range gradually crumbled and fell into the deep, dark rift below. The atmosphere overhead had long since been blown away!!! A vast black starry sky lay exposed.

This place… in this moment was at once the brightest place in the world, and the darkest!!!!

The neighboring countries saw a disturbance of such scale and looked toward it, unable to hide their worry. The Red Dragons who had been patrolling the area a moment ago, ready to deal with anyone who dared violate their territory, were now scared out of their wits and fled in a panic!!!

The people who lived in the Red Dragon Mountain Range saw that things were bad. Amid the quaking sky and shaking earth, they cried out, "The sun is falling! The sun is falling!!!" and scrambled onto the road to flight.

And at this very moment!! Hitogami (Human God)'s smile slowly faded.

What the hell is going on!!??

The scene… As the light gradually faded, the fierce flames kept burning all around. The ground, scorched to unbearable heat, had been baked completely into crystal.

Dragon God Orsted lay on the searing, blood-red crystal, staring in terror at the black sky overhead.

That sudden, unbroken series of violent explosions had forced him to summon every ounce of his strength. He had even poured out the magic power he had been unwilling to use. And even so!!! He hadn't been able to withstand the terrifying blast that had just struck him!!!

If he hadn't mastered an extremely powerful earth magic beforehand, and used the power of the earth to resist those explosions, what remained of him now wouldn't have been merely a torso and two legs, a ruined body with flesh and bone turned inside out. He would have been vaporized on the spot!!!

What… what on earth was that?? What was it???

He had reincarnated more times than he could count, yet he had never seen an attack so terrifying. Even he had been unable to mount an effective defense against it.

So… Hitogami (Human God) had really struck gold this time.

His magic power was spent and his body was in tatters. He didn't even have the strength to stand.

Was he going to reincarnate again?? Next time, next time!!! Hitogami (Human God)… he had to find this boy named Rudeus first!!! He… had to see through the secret behind this ahead of time!!!

Just as Dragon God Orsted was about to give up and welcome his death, Rudeus walked over to his side, smiling.

Looking down from above at the Dragon God Orsted who had been so overbearing a moment ago and was now reduced to this, Rudeus felt an immense sense of accomplishment.

He raised his hand… and pressed it against Orsted's body. Healing magic and atomic reassembly, every ability he had, all at once.

After all, he had long since learned the structure of Dragon God Orsted's body. So… Dragon God Orsted's tattered body, under Rudeus's treatment!! In an instant, was restored to what it had been.

Orsted looked up at him with eyes full of bewilderment. Rudeus smiled and pulled him up from the ground.

"I can see your strength is really something," he said with a grin. "So join my Alliance of the Righteous. I need someone like you to fight Hitogami (Human God) with me!!"

Dragon God Orsted glared at him. "What!!??"

"I know you probably don't quite believe me right now," Rudeus said with a laugh. "After all, I just gave you a beating. But time will prove everything. So how about it? Walk with me for a while. You've got forced regression anyway, so you can avoid any bad consequences."

If this had been the beginning… Dragon God Orsted might not have feared Rudeus. But now!!! After that terrifying battle, he couldn't help feeling an inexplicable dread of Rudeus. Looking at the Rudeus in front of him, he honestly didn't know whether he should believe him.
