Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 852 A Genius Like None

Conor looked at Grey, shaking his head wryly. He didnʼt dare to say Grey was a genius on his level, while at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, two of him canʼt fight against the current Grey, much less fight against him alone.

Initially, he had felt Greyʼs strength mainly lay in his speed. Only after watching Grey go all-out did he understand that he had misunderstood everything all this while, Greyʼs strength was far more than what he could imagine.

ʼCan I defeat the present him?ʼ He couldnʼt help but ask himself.

Thinking of the question, he didnʼt feel confident in being able to defeat Grey as things stand. One has to know that he has already broken through to the Sage Plane, and is a well-known genius among the youths.

If even someone like him couldnʼt beat Grey, it goes to show just how powerful Grey was at the moment.

The Elders from the Pyrmond Faction exchanged glances and the same thought flashed through their heads.

ʼWe have to protect him at all costs!ʼ

It was at this moment they realized something and their facial expressions changed drastically.

”Stupid brat! If he harms his core Iʼll personally kill him.” An Elder said, infuriated at the thought of Grey damaging his core to get this powerful because of the battle.

The others looked at the Elder, and it was surprisingly the most quiet amongst those sent out. He had barely said anything since they left the Faction, but he was forced to speak just thinking of the harm that would most likely befall Grey after using this technique to increase his strength.

”The Syphilis Faction is to be blamed for this.” Another Elder said.

The other Elders turned to look in the direction of the members of the Syphilis Faction, and their anger shot to its peak.

The Elders from the Syphilis Faction had also thought of this, they were already thinking of ways to eliminate Grey. Yes, it was forbidden, but it wasnʼt as if something like this hadnʼt happened before. It was even happening at the present time, so long as they were not caught, it was fine.

Greyʼs talent made him a threat to any Faction thatʼs not on the good side of the Pyrmond Faction. It was natural for each Faction to compete against each other, but lately, the Pyrmond Faction had been getting the short end of the stick for some time now due to their decline.

They couldnʼt fight since it would cause a possible war between two Factions. War was not something they wanted.

”Haha, heʼs damaged his core. Even if they manage to win this, it wouldnʼt matter, weʼll get it next time.” An Elder from the Syphilis Faction chuckled and looked in the direction of the Elders from the Pyrmond Faction with a mocking smile.

She could sense the rage boiling in the eyes of the Elders from the Pyrmond Faction. She knew it had to do with Grey using a special ability to increase his strength, thereby damaging his core.

”Oh right, I forgot about that.” A skinny Elder muttered while staring at Grey with dark eyes.

The others nodded to his words.

Back on the platform.

All five members were currently standing beside each other, trying to protect themselves from the inferno.

Greyʼs figure flashed and his appearance suddenly changed. When the audience looked at his appearance, they realized he wasnʼt the one standing there, instead, it was one of the members from the Syphilis Faction.

They looked at where the five were previously standing and Greyʼs figure was currently there.

The five also noticed this as well, and just as they were about to leave, they felt a terrifying weight on their bodies and they crashed into the ground.

”Stay.” Greyʼs voice was low, but everyone on the platform, as well as outside the platform heard it clearly.

It was like the voice of a monarch, telling his subordinates not to move an inch.

The figures of the four members of the Syphilis Faction stopped and slammed into the ground, they werenʼt even able to get themselves to stand up.

They hastily used their elemental essence to create a defensive force field around them, to ensure the fire doesnʼt harm them in the same way it did to the young lady a few minutes ago.

As the bodies of the youths touched the ground, Grey sent out quick kicks, sending them flying.

Once their bodies left the area of his gravitational force field, they felt relieved and hastily tried to regain their bearings, unfortunately, Grey would never give them that chance.

He raised his hand into the sky and an orb made of four different colors appeared in his hand, the strength of the orb was something that once again took the Elders off their seats.

”What the hell is that?!” An Elder from the Syphilis Faction exclaimed.

”He merged his four elements into one attack. That… that…” The next Elder was short of words.

Theyʼve seen and heard of people boosting their attacks with a second element, but Greyʼs current attack was a complete merger. This wasnʼt using one element to boost the attack, rather, it was actually merging them into one.

The orb exploded out with a colorful but deadly light.

The four figures who were mid-air tried to block the attack, but they were sent crashing out of the platform. They slammed to the ground, and passed out.

The last member of the Syphilis Faction looked at everything with disbelief in his eyes. Grey just knocked out six out of seven people.

They were all at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, yet in the presence of Grey, they were like Origin Plane Elementalists. They couldnʼt even resist.

Greyʼs figure soon appeared in front of the young man. He wanted to speak, but no words came from his mouth.

With a loud scream, he tried to fight against Grey.

He would never give up without a battle.

”Foolish.” Grey said and the domain contracted once again.

It gave the same result as when he did it against the young lady.
