Swish, swish!

Two figures appeared, one on each side, simultaneously attacking Chino!

Their speed was incredible, but Chino’s speed was even faster!

Facing the angel and Ye Long’s attacks, Chino unleashed his full power!

But even at full power, he seemed calm and collected.

“Angel, coming to find me now was a wise choice,” Chino rumbled, his golden eyes fixed on the angel.

“I am the wave that engulfs the land. Those who didn’t come to find me are all at the bottom of the sea, their arrogance costing them their lives.”

Chino’s massive fist clashed with the hundreds of wings. After several exchanges, the angel began to understand something.

“His body isn’t a single lifeform, but a symbiotic collective.”

“A force is constantly flowing between these symbiotic beings. When my wings attack his body, his power will concentrate on that body part.”

“When directly clashing with me, this power gathers in his fists.”

This form of power was something the angel had never encountered.

To illustrate, if the angel were an ordinary person, then Chino is a person made up of ants.

His body is made up of countless ants. Normally, no matter which part is destroyed, or which part of his body is shattered, this collective cannot be killed.

And Chino possesses the Horse stone, able to infinitely heal himself.

So he has no physiological weaknesses. Unless you can completely destroy his entire body.

This isn’t impossible for the angel. But that wasn’t the problem.

The problem was that Chino somehow managed to concentrate all his power into one point.

This is terrifying. Concentrating the power of ten thousand ants into a single point, then attacking with it. The resulting power can crush and break.

At least, from the angel’s perspective, Chino’s concentrated power was slightly stronger than her own.

Just slightly. It wasn’t like she was completely unable to fight.

But that concentrated power wasn’t just power. It also contained defense, speed, and explosive force.

This made it difficult to deal with. Chino concentrated his power, and the angel’s attacks had no effect on him.

“Then I can only disperse my attacks and attack different parts of his body.”

“This way, he’ll either disperse his power to protect himself or forgo defense and focus on attacking me, exchanging blows.”

“If he chooses to attack, I’ll have a chance…”

The angel thought this, and saw Ye Long’s fist collide with Chino’s, breaking one of Chino’s fingers!

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Seeing this, the angel was a little puzzled.

“His explosive power is obviously weaker than mine. How could he hurt the Sea King?”

“Did the Sea King not concentrate his power to defend against his attack, or is it something else?”

Thinking, the angel started to disperse her wings and simultaneously attacked several parts of Chino’s body!

“You said it was a wise choice for me to come find you. It’s a coincidence, I think so too. That’s why staying here to wait for me was a stupid decision.” The angel’s voice was calm, but her eyes held a cold, predatory gleam.

Splat, splat, splat!

The angel’s wings pierced through Chino’s body from various angles.

Seeing this, Chino smirked. “Stupid?”

“You are but insects gazing at the sky. And I command the starlight, the constellations that highlight my magnificence. Your so-called stupidity stems from your limited perspective, preventing you from seeing the world above the constellations,” he added, his voice laced with disdain.

The Horse stone healed Chino’s body again.

While saying this, he was calculating the angel's strategy.

“Her attacks are powerful. I dispersed my power to withstand the attacks at multiple points, but she still managed to hurt me.”

“But as long as she can’t destroy me completely, these attacks are meaningless.” He paused, a glint of amusement in his eyes. He’d expected this. He was prepared.

The angel also realized this.

“He’s chosen to disperse his power to withstand my attack, and he’s not attacking…”

No good.

He wants a protracted war.

The angel’s conscious time was limited. If she couldn’t end the battle quickly, once her time ran out, she would be forced into hibernation.

Theoretically, she couldn’t fight Chino in a protracted war.

“I have to find a way to win quickly…” She muttered.

...

The angel’s evolution to a thousand wings resulted in a single ability.

Life Furnace.

Her evolutionary direction is toward the vast cosmos. This caused a massive furnace to evolve within her body.

It was located in her heart.

This Life Furnace can absorb matter and other known or unknown energy sources.

Theoretically, this furnace can absorb all energy in the universe and burn matter into energy.

This furnace has two functions. One, it heals the angel’s physical wounds. Two, it provides her body with energy.

This means she doesn’t need to eat or recover her stamina.

At the same time, this converted energy can be directly released.

As for why the angel only evolved this single ability…

It’s because her evolution is affected by her will.

If she constantly battles strong enemies, she will instinctively evolve abilities to counter them.

For example, to counter vampires, and after almost dying in fire, she developed fire resistance and the ability to release ultraviolet rays and fire.

Then, fighting Celestial Beast, she evolved the ability to disrupt her opponent's senses.

These were her first two willed evolutions.

After that, the angel encountered Chino, but she wasn’t his match at the time.

So she instinctively evolved the ability to transform flesh. That is, through physical contact, absorbing the opponent’s flesh and blood to increase her own strength.

But because it was a temporary evolution, the ability wasn’t perfect, and there was a limit to how much flesh and blood she could absorb.

Although she successfully repelled Chino at the time, the angel didn’t fully understand Chino’s abilities.

This was largely due to Chino's caution. He hadn’t revealed too much information in the previous battle. He was a master strategist, carefully controlling the flow of information, revealing only what he wanted his opponent to see.

Many of Chino’s abilities were unknown to the angel.

The angel didn’t know how to counter his evolutionary direction and could only evolve towards becoming stronger.

Based on her previous evolution of absorbing flesh and blood, she perfected this ability.

That is, the Life Furnace.

Her wings spread. Each wing absorbed the ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun and all the energy in the world.

“I have to find an opportunity to obliterate him/her,”

The angel and Chino both thought this way.

They kept saying meaningless things, but were plotting against each other. To care about their words was to invite disaster. They were playing a game of cat and mouse, each trying to outwit the other. Each move was carefully calculated, each word weighed. The tension between them was palpable.

Meanwhile, other monsters were secretly observing the battle, each with their own goals.

Chino was now undoubtedly the enemy of all living beings.

He wanted to rule the land. Before, no one had taken him seriously, seeing it as a joke.

But Chino’s abilities clearly showed that he had the power!

So, if the angel and Ye Long couldn’t defeat him, then, as Chino said,

Those monsters secretly observing him would soon pay a heavy price for their arrogance. Because Chino’s next target was them!

“An unstoppable tide is engulfing the world.”

“This is a test.”
