Chapter 646: Arrival
The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar dashed after the Void King, pursuing him with his sword and striking with all his might whenever they came near each other. His attacks were extremely powerful and moved so fast that average Titans couldn't perceive them.
However, despite all the power and speed behind the sword, the Void King could use his palms to block it. Every time the sword would come near, the Void King would place his palm in the weapon's path, making the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar feel as though he was slashing at an invisible wall, and that was not all.
The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar could perceive an invisible force field around the Void King encompassing a fifty-meter radius. Although the radius was small, every time the True Titan entered this section of space, he would feel a crushing gravitational pressure assaulting him, forcing him to use his full power just to move freely.
This gravitational force field was present when the Void King faced the Collapsing Lightning Duke. Still, the Sector Duke overcame it thanks to his monstrous strength and mastery over gravitational forces, something the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar did not possess.
'It's okay. I do not need to win; I just need to endure long enough.'
The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar was not foolish enough to think he could win and knew they needed to pull back. However, a hasty withdrawal would cause the death of hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of soldiers, something he could not allow.
He had already sent the command to the squad and battalion leaders to return to the Golden Core City, but that would take time. Until then, he needed to keep the Void King busy no matter what.
The Void King was not a fool and saw the plan of the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar but did not lose focus or try something foolish as to continue burning his willpower. Even if he could keep the man's attacks at bay, that did not mean it was easy. After all, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar's sword carried truly powerful momentum and had yet to recover from the Stellar Dive.
However, the Void King remained calm since he was not alone.
"YOU!"
