Chapter 956: My Family is Quite Rich
Chapter 956: My Family is Quite Rich
Elias clearly knew everything before his eyes was an illusion, yet it felt all too real.
Just then, his wife suddenly looked at him, a brilliant smile spreading across her face as she lifted her long skirt and ran towards him.
A mocking smile curled on Elias's lips.
"Such a cheap trick, and you think you can use it against me? Foolish!"
He swung the scepter in his hand with force, instantly obliterating his "wife"!
But the illusion before him didn't disappear; he could even clearly see the gruesome sight of his wife turning into a bloody, mangled corpse.
Screams instantly erupted around him.
"Datuk! What are you doing!"
"Father! You actually killed mother!" ...
The cries of distress were incessant. Even though Elias knew full well these were all fake, as a human being with emotions, he couldn't remain completely unmoved facing such intensely realistic illusions.
And at that moment, a long sword quietly appeared behind his head.
"Sacred Form Enhancement!"
A sacred and brilliant silver radiance enveloped Deng Shentong's entire body.
The purest light represented immense power.
The silver radiance extended to his sword, Griffith, which thrust fiercely towards the back of Elias's head!
"Crack!"
A crisp shattering sound rang out as the bony carapace covering Elias's body, thick like heavy metal armor, fractured.
But this strike also made Elias react swiftly.
Before the sword tip could pierce through the outer carapace into his brain, Elias swung his hand back, slapping hard towards Deng Shentong!
It was a palm thicker and larger than the main gate of the Deng Family courtyard.
Deng Shentong's sword was stuck in the outer layer of the carapace; the brief hesitation as he pulled it out made it too late for him to dodge this slap.
"Thump!!"
Deng Shentong was sent flying like a cannonball through over a kilometer of ruins and jungle.
He struggled to stabilize his posture mid-air, supporting himself on the ground with his sword in his right hand.
A trickle of blood slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth.
That sword strike just now hadn't killed Elias; instead, it had left him quite injured.
"I underestimated his defensive power!"
Although using the Great Sumeru Illusion could create illusions and affect Elias's five senses,
the physical pain was real and would allow Elias to instantly locate his position.
The most difficult part was still breaking through that armor-like bony shell covering his body.
Elias didn't pursue him; he remained immersed in the illusion.
As long as Deng Shentong didn't voluntarily dispel the Great Sumeru Illusion, Elias could never escape this situation.
Elias stood still, frozen in place as if his system had crashed.
He knew he had to find a way to break this illusion.
Otherwise, he could only remain passive and vulnerable to attacks.
"Think, how did I fall for this?"
"Right, it was the light. I saw his light."
"Then, if I close my eyes, would that work?"
Since everything before his eyes was an illusion anyway, his eyes had already lost their function.
Thus, Elias chose to close his eyes, cutting himself off from the light of this world.
When everything before him turned dark, the various chaotic sounds around him also disappeared.
A wild, ecstatic smile appeared on his lips: "Heh, is that all?"
Meanwhile, Deng Shentong's new round of attack arrived.
He took two silver spheres from under his robe and threw them at Elias's feet.
Moments later, a shocking explosion erupted violently at Elias's feet!
A pained grunt came from the scene as the hard carapace on Elias's leg actually cracked, with large amounts of blood flowing down like a spring.
"What kind of weapon is this? It can actually injure my body!"
Elias shouted in disbelief.
"This is a special bomb specifically designed to deal with high-level superhumans like you!"
Two more silver spheres appeared in Deng Shentong's palm. "Each one has power comparable to a Tomahawk missile!"
However, there was one rather unfortunate aspect.
Its cost was excessively high, and the required materials were extremely difficult to obtain.
Most crucially, Deng Shentong wasn't Zhang Yi; he didn't have the means to carry large quantities.
Otherwise, given the Deng Family's resources, it wouldn't be too much to say they could equip him with three to five hundred of these at once.
"I don't have any other special talents, but my family is quite wealthy."
Deng Shentong couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, he had always been unwilling to admit that his strength came from his family.
He believed he was a natural-born powerhouse who could reach the pinnacle even without relying on the Deng Family's power.
Therefore, when carrying out missions, he would try to avoid using products from Deng Technology as much as possible.
Now he had come to understand.
As long as it leads to victory, everything one possesses can be used.
Winning is all that matters.
Elias laughed coldly: "You're comparing wealth with me? I possess the entire nation of Malaya!"
Deng Shentong glanced at him coldly: "A tiny, insignificant country, what wealth can it have? The wealth I refer to is the foundation of technology! Not mere money."
Although Elias's legs were somewhat injured, looking terribly wounded and bleeding profusely,
compared to his massive body, these injuries weren't considered a major problem.
"Very well, this time, I'll be prepared!"
He tightened his grip on the scepter in his hand, pricking up his ears to carefully listen for sounds.
His exceptional five senses allowed him, even with closed eyes, to still discern the weapons attacking from around him.
Deng Shentong's body moved at high speed around him, actually transforming into a circular silver vortex.
Seizing the moment, he flung his wide cloak, instantly sending dozens of silver bombs shooting violently towards Elias!
"Among these bombs, only one is real. Guess which one it is!"
Elias's movements showed a momentary hesitation.
Deng Shentong's words gave him a psychological suggestion.
If every bomb were real, he would definitely fight desperately to counterattack all of them.
But if most were fake, then counterattacking the fake ones would be meaningless.
However, Deng Shentong could also be lying.
All these dozens of silver spheres could potentially be the kind of bombs capable of injuring him.
After a brief moment, Elias made his judgment.
Since it wasn't clear which one was real, he might as well counterattack them all!
He let out a roar, gripped the green scepter with both hands, his massive arms moving so fast they left afterimages!
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Like playing baseball, he counterattacked each bomb coming at him.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded as one real bomb detonated the moment it touched the scepter.
Among the bombs Deng Shentong threw, only one was real.
But he wasn't anxious, because he knew that hoping to kill Elias relying solely on bombs was completely unrealistic.
He was just creating opportunities to discover Elias's weakness.
