MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Chapter 1154: Too Eager

Aaaninja found himself floating in the air. The very moment he appeared, his eyes furrowed in confusion. He had only just emerged from seclusion barely a few minutes ago, yet now he had been forcefully teleported here. The instant he appeared, he immediately used his Time abilities to discover who had teleported him here, but he found nothing, which only left him even more puzzled.

He had no choice but to connect a portion of his consciousness to the River Of Time itself, and the moment he did, the confusion on his face vanished as he finally received an answer.

”Anthony,” he whispered quietly to himself.

The River Of Time had practically told Aaaninja everything Anthony had done, from his earlier battle against the Projections to the mass teleportation itself.

Truly, the River Of Time was an absurd source of information.

Aaaninja’s eyes shifted toward a particular direction. He attempted to leave the Rogue Planet and participate in the battle Anthony was about to begin against the Demon King and God, but to Aaaninja’s surprise, he could not. Anthony had completely trapped everyone within the Rogue Planet.

No type of ability was going to work.

Before Aaaninja could do anything else, overwhelming Faith Energy and Demonic Presence slammed downward upon space itself. His rainbow-colored, clock-like eyes shifted toward the new arrivals, his expression completely indifferent.

And there stood Angels and Demons who now appeared to be on the same side.

Aaaninja was not surprised by the sudden turn of events, nor did he particularly care about their partnership. An enemy was an enemy. Whether they worked together or not, all roads still led toward their deaths, and that was all that mattered.

’Fourteen-Winged Angels,’ Aaaninja mused internally. They had only been theorizing about the existence of Thirteen-Winged Angels, only for that foolish God to go ahead and create Fourteen-Winged ones instead just so he could catch everyone completely off guard.

The Demons who stood alongside the Angels possessed numbers etched upon their foreheads; 5, 17, 9, and 15.

Aaaninja did not even need to guess to understand that these four were part of the Demon King’s one hundred personal subordinates who were acknowledged as the top one hundred strongest Demon Monarchs within the Acarnis Galaxy.

But even then, Aaaninja ignored them.

He wanted to either fight the Demon King or God, nobody else. But since Anthony had quite literally imprisoned everyone here and even his own abilities were unable to bypass it, he ultimately decided to ask the River Of Time for assistance.

But to Aaaninja’s complete shock, the River Of Time, which had never once declined any request from him, actually refused to help.

As for why, the River Of Time simply stated that it could not say.

The real reason, however, was because of ???.

This entire situation was peak entertainment for ???, so how could the River Of Time dare interfere so brazenly?

As an existence connected to all Multiverses, Omniverses, and Outerverses, the River Of Time was fully aware of ???’s existence and understood that the being predated existence itself.

Aaaninja sighed softly before turning toward the Demons and Angels as he spoke in a flat tone, ”it seems I’m stuck with you guys.”

”Heretic, come toward the Light, and you shall be forgiven for your sins,” one of the Angels immediately spoke, beginning their occult-like mantra which they constantly preached toward everyone they encountered for the very first time.

”Hoo... I would have easily come toward the Light, but it is rather unfortunate that the Light seems to be cooperating with the Darkness,” Aaaninja stated, his tone turning slightly amused. Since he had nothing else to do and could not leave the Rogue Planet, he might as well test his new abilities and power on this group.

The Angel immediately frowned at Aaaninja’s words. Although he did not understand why their God had ordered them to work alongside the Demons, they could never go against the decree of their creator.

Aaaninja immediately vanished from where he stood.

The very moment he disappeared, one of the Demon Monarchs appeared within his previous position, a claw attack tearing through the air like a blade through butter. One of them had attempted a sneak attack, but it was utterly futile against Aaaninja, whose right eye could see the future while the left could perceive the past in their base state without even requiring Mana.

Aaaninja did not immediately use any Time abilities. Instead, he directly turned off his eye abilities altogether. This was his very first battle after stepping into the Apexus Mana Rank. He wanted to personally feel the difference between himself and everyone else. Even if he could not defeat Anthony, he refused to believe that anyone else stood above him.

Call it arrogance, call it pride, call it delusion, but he would acknowledge only one man above him. The rest could only remain beneath him.

With that thought, Aaaninja shot forward in a blur, but the very moment he closed the distance, the Angels attacked.

Golden sword-light attack tore through his position with lightning-like speed. Aaaninja immediately abandoned his attack midway, his body shifting in midair as he met the sword-light attack head-on using only his fist, not even bothering to draw the sword hanging upon his waist.

A cataclysmic impact erupted across the dark sky above them as the sword-light exploded violently outward.

Within that infinitesimal instant, the other Angels closed the distance with terrifying speed far beyond anything ordinary Twelve-Winged Angels could ever hope to achieve.

A foot tore toward Aaaninja’s head from the side. A knee screamed toward his gut. A rapier pierced toward his heart.

Aaaninja did not hesitate in the slightest. He simply increased his speed even further, his body vanishing so completely that it seemed as though he had become nothing more than an afterimage left behind within the timeline of the past itself.

The next moment, he appeared directly before the first Angel. His forefoot smashed against the Angel’s temple with a sun-burning blast, the golden helmet upon the Angel’s head caving inward beneath the sheer force and pressure of the attack.

Aaaninja vanished once more. His body appeared beside the third Angel as he unleashed a casual punch toward the Angel’s chest, yet that seemingly simple attack carried enough power to annihilate entire constellations. The impact detonated outward in compressed bursts of wind powerful enough to distort the surrounding atmosphere itself.

The two Angels were immediately blasted backward and sideways as momentum and inertia violently claimed their bodies.

Aaaninja moved to attack the third Angel, but the Demons had already begun moving.

[Cursed Magic: Corrupted Sun Core]

Chaotic Energy instantly exploded across the sky as, in the next moment, a titanic black sun manifested beside Aaaninja’s body. Before he could even react, the Corrupted Sun Core exploded outward with a searing blast and temperature so monstrously high that it swallowed the sky itself within an explosion that even stars could only hope to rival.

The Demons and Angels floated silently as they waited for the smoke to clear.

But the very moment the smoke dispersed, Aaaninja stood there completely unharmed, his body remained flawless, his clothes remained unstained, his eyes gleamed with unmistakable excitement, as through that single attack alone, he had discovered yet another new ability of his.

At this point, Aaaninja no longer even needed to actively block attacks like these. Whenever such attacks occurred, the surrounding Time Particles simply acted on their own and protected him automatically from whatever danger approached him.

Exactly the same thing had happened with the blast just now. The Time Particles had simply erased the explosion surrounding Aaaninja without him even needing to lift a single finger.

Aaaninja, who normally maintained an eternally calm expression, could not help but grin.

The very next moment, he vanished in a blur, his speed even faster than before, he was eager for this battle, far too eager.
