Chapter 1421: The enemy of an enemy
The planet shuddered violently as if it were a fragile balloon being squeezed by the giants’ hands. Its surface rippled and warped, the very fabric of reality bending under that immense force. Suddenly, with a deafening roar, the planet seemed to split apart like a burst balloon, its upper and lower halves tearing away from each other.
As the parts broke free, they defied the grip of the machine god’s influence, each fragment soaring into the vast emptiness of the cosmos. The severed pieces spun and twisted, carried away by forces beyond comprehension, disappearing into the boundless expanse of the universe, leaving behind only echoes of their former existence.
"The endurance of this body is satisfying... it endured the fall of the core of a small-sized planet which emitted enough force ten times higher than our mana cannons. We were planning to use the spirit of this world, but this was a necessary sacrifice."
The debris of the planet began to spread in all directions. Some of them collided against the body of the machine god, but that didn’t even scratch him. Such was the power of the condensed metal, thanks to the aspect of space. The metal used was also a better version of the dark metal that could charge extra corrupt energy... It was a creation that made that machine god pretty proud of himself.
In any case, Rain was still nowhere to be seen, and before he could do anything, the machine god soon saw some parts of the planet returning and then covering his body... all those parts were made of ice... it seemed that even in that state, the spirit of the planet wanted to have their revenge.
"Even with all this time, it still looks like I am not completely ready, huh?" Rain asked.
Rain’s presence suddenly appeared in front of the machine god, and soon, he saw a domain cracking in front of him like it was glass marble. Rain had been there the whole time... but he still escaped the sight of the machine god for some reason.
When Rain revealed himself, the machine god understood what had happened... Rain’s physical form underwent a deep transformation, as if his very essence had transcended the limitations of flesh and blood. His once-solid figure now appeared ethereal, like a specter haunting the mortal realm. Transparent and ephemeral, he seemed to blend with the air around him, his presence both there and not there, like a whisper in the wind.
But it wasn’t just his transparency that was captivating. Around him, a swirling aura of ice dust danced and twirled, creating an otherworldly halo that accentuated his ghostly appearance. It was as though frozen stars had been captured in orbit around him, casting an eerie glow that illuminated his newfound form.
In this state, Rain appeared to transcend the boundaries of humanity, becoming something more akin to a celestial being, a harbinger of frost and chill. His presence was both beautiful and unsettling, a testament to the unfathomable depths of power he now wielded.
