The moment the young man appeared before his eyes with a brand-new posture, Kushustan's vigilance skyrocketed in an instant.
As a member of the Demon Clan, although most of the emotions displayed were crazy and brutal, this didn't mean he was completely senseless.
A human ant who, when he was still a First Rank Transcendent, had taught himself a harsh lesson, must not be underestimated, even if he appeared to be in a desperate situation now.
The reason was simple.
He hadn't detected any sign of despair on his face.
Even under the dual torment of himself and the Creation Demon, he had survived.
Given that, how could he possibly die easily here?
Even if he were to die, he would definitely resist.
However, the vessel that Kushustan had descended into now was countless times stronger than Lynn was back then, and he possessed far more Authority and power than before.
Although he hadn't reached his peak yet, it was more than enough to deal with these ants.
The only ones qualified to be his opponents were the gods who had also come in a descent to stop him.
So, when he sensed that after using that card, Lynn's energy still lingered at Second Rank, he immediately revealed a mocking smile.
At this moment, it merely looked like Lynn had changed into clothing and lighting designed to create a false show of strength, without any real change.
He just needed to lift his hand slightly to completely annihilate him.
Thinking this, Kushustan laughed uncontrollably, "Is this your backup plan? A meaningless costume change?!"
At this moment, the surviving Transcendents all focused their eyes on the young man before them.
And seeing that his Rank hadn't improved, the glimmer of hope that had briefly emerged in their eyes dimmed again.
At the same time, they couldn't help but curse inside.
Cursing that the young man had entered like a hero, but in the end, he had infinitely crushed their hopes.
Only Tiya, held in Louise's arms, stared blankly at that figure.
She knew very well that he was a man of his word.
He said he wouldn't let them die, so no matter what happened, Tiya didn't feel she would die at Kushustan's hands.
Although they had known each other for a very short time, for some reason, she had such a feeling.
Or rather, this was the impression Lynn had always given her.
But how could a mere Second Rank, what would he have to do, and what would he have to sacrifice, to defeat the indescribable monster before him?
In Louise's arms, Tiya's index finger moved slightly, as if she wanted to raise her hand to stop something, but she lost all strength.
In the end, she could only watch, powerless and soulless, as he walked alone towards his end.
Hearing Kushustan's words, Lynn, after bowing, put his hat back on top of his head, stood with his hands on his cane, in the very center of the old factory.
Like a gentleman with impeccable manners, yet like a magician about to perform a grand show for the audience.
"Do you think just this will stop me?" Kushustan curled his lips, looking sinisterly terrifying, "A... Second Rank?"
At this, Lynn shook his head, his gaze seemingly disappointed, "Dear Kushustan, actually, when I first met you through the greed magic box, my initial impression of you in my mind was 'overwhelmingly powerful.'"
"But now, you try time and again to destroy that impression of yourself in my mind."
"I just didn't expect that a being at the same level as the gods could not even perceive the real changes in me, it is profoundly disappointing."
With his words trailing off, both man and demon fell into silence.
After a moment, Kushustan's throat vibrated with madness and brutality: "What did you… say?!!!"
"Now, failing even to perceive the Realm gap between us, you no longer qualify as my opponent." Lynn tapped the ground lightly with his cane, strolling casually, "If I must give an example, it would be the difference between the person in the painting and the painter."
"No matter how ferocious and terrifying you appear on the paper, right now I have transcended the limitations of that paper, observing you from a higher level."
"And... the 'lines' around you."
Although his tone was very calm, the words were incomprehensible to anyone.
At this moment, Lynn seemed more like a madman.
Perhaps, maintaining composure in the face of the High-dimensional Demon's mental assault was already madness.
Even Kushustan was puzzled by his nonsensical yet arrogant words, but anger soon overwhelmed him again.
Even now, this mere ant was still baring its teeth and claws.
Truly... infuriating!!!
In an instant, accompanied by a roar, the crumbling walls of the old factory collapsed, like a high-rise building. The limbous monster's aura surged, spewing out a river of blood, like a spear of sin and punishment descending from the heavens, vowing to nail the young man's heart to the deepest part of the Endless Demon Abyss!
Inside the Tomb of the Dead Silence, the ground sank, and dust billowed.
The crimson glow mixed with unparalleled Demon Power seemed to completely destroy the space around the young man.
This was a strike capable of killing a Fifth Rank Legend.
Kushustan was certain that this strike had truly landed on Lynn's head.
