Chapter 1265: Chapter 427: Rift

“I don’t want to die,” Rein shook his head and said calmly.

“But this body of yours is merely an avatar.”

“Why don’t you go ahead and die?”

Though Rein’s tone was calm, the content of his words was explosive.

Simply put, it was the scene where a god asks a mortal how they wish to die, and the mortal tells the god to go die instead.

Coupled with Rein’s calm tone, his biting sarcasm was off the charts.

Of course, Rein wasn’t being sarcastic, but employing a tactical dialogue similar to the previous time, like talking trash to mess with the opponent’s mindset.

At this moment, the folks on the second floor of the Imperial City’s Astrology Platform looked utterly shocked!

They finally understood why the Nether Sea Goddess Hela’s expression and demeanor shifted upon seeing Rein!

Lord Rein’s words were indeed a bit too audacious, weren’t they?

Though Lord Rein’s strength was undeniably formidable.

And despite the Secret Realm’s power restrictions, preventing the other side from going all out.

Was it really wise to provoke a divine in such a manner?

Meanwhile, the black-robed girl, who was Hela’s avatar, suddenly withdrew her smile, her full chest rising and falling dramatically.

Clearly, she was once again quite irked by Rein.

Especially when paired with Rein’s calm gaze while speaking.

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

She had seen many warriors, and in their deepest eyes, there was always some degree of reverence when facing her.

But Rein’s gaze lacked any reverence, as if he were looking at mere cats and dogs.

This was most intolerable for her.

But before Hela could act,

suddenly, Rein’s muscles rapidly swelled, his body began to enlarge once more, horns grew on his head, and a tail appeared behind him, shooting from his original eight or nine-meter height to around thirteen or fourteen meters.

The surrounding Secret Realm space seemed to become unstable.

Tiny hairline spatial cracks began appearing around his body.

Why dared Rein initiate a Third Stage transformation without fear of being squeezed out by the Secret Realm?

Because he suddenly realized something; he was different from before.

His Bloodline Concentration had risen to ‘High Grade,’ enabling him to partially control the degree of transformation.

During battle with Lambert, for instance, he had only partially transformed his body, merely dragonifying his arms.

This meant, upon initiating a Third Stage transformation, he could also partially control the degree of transformation, ensuring his Strength level did not exceed the Secret Realm’s upper limit.

Now it seemed he had succeeded.

To put it simply, Rein could previously only transform completely in integer stages, such as First Stage Dragon-man Warrior or Second Stage Dragon-man General.

But now, it was different.

He could perform incomplete transformations like Stage 1.1 or Stage 2.9, thereby controlling his Strength level within an extremely fine range.

Of course, the primary reason for his Third Stage transformation was the clarity from earlier combat.

If he couldn’t elevate his Strength level to meet that of Nether Sea Goddess Hela’s avatar,

the fight would be unwinnable!

No combat skill, witchcraft, or even Will could compensate for that.

Because the opponent was a divine, mastering all kinds of witchcraft and combat skills to their peak, if her Strength level remained a notch higher, how could one fight her?

Therefore, transformation was a must.

Even if unexpected events occurred, such as being squeezed out due to momentary loss of control, it was better than falling here.

Rein had a system.

A saying from his previous life suited him well.

Keep the green mountain intact, not worried about no firewood.

Hm?

As Rein’s further transformation occurred, Hela, just about to act, narrowed her beautiful eyes.

She could certainly sense Rein’s Strength level rising further, this energy fluctuation had reached the maximum limit the present Dragon Valley Secret Realm could bear.

In other words, if the two previously had a small degree of separation in their Strength levels,

then from this moment on, they were completely on the same level.

Both were at the Legendary peak level.

Should their Strength ascend further, even just a bit more, they’d be squeezed out by the Secret Realm.

“Boom!”

As Rein transformed into the Dragon-man King, suddenly, he stomped heavily, causing the ground to cave in.

A white energy wave burst forth from his thirteen or fourteen-meter-high body, for a moment, you could still see that compressed transparent airflow streaming backward from all around Rein’s body like water!

Amidst the massive sound explosion, Rein’s towering form surprisingly reached Hela in the blink of an eye.

One of his strong Dragon Claws once again smashed against Hela’s black energy Vortex Shield!

“Bang!!!”

At the point of collision between the Vortex Shield and Dragon Claw, a ripple-like circle of black energy rings suddenly shot outward.

Simultaneously, the originally hairline cracks around the two rapidly expanded to thumb width, as if the Secret Realm space here could no longer withstand the fierce fluctuations from their battle.

Hela’s black energy Vortex Shield, like a balloon, was deeply indented by Rein’s claw.

Even the sharp Dragon Claw was only an inch away from the exquisite face of Hela’s black-robed girl avatar!

This finally caused Hela’s expression to change, becoming solemn.

She swiftly raised another hand, pointing at Rein.

The Ancient Witchcraft ‘Ancient Black Water Soul’ that killed Agrippa reappeared!
