Chapter 706 The Witch of Pain
Initially, this attack could create a hole in the Dharma Image's chest large enough to swallow a town.
After several hits, the same intensity of penetrating attacks could only barely leave a hole the size of a house on the Dharma Image's head. But Jemin's mood didn't improve much, because even after so many attacks, he still couldn't see the enemy.
Being unable to see means he cannot retaliate.
Being unable to see means that even if he maxes out his resistance, he's just making himself an even harder target to penetrate.
The other party could easily bypass him and directly enter the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
With such penetrating power, dimensional barriers and defensive arrays simply cannot stop it.
The Black Giant Legion, the Incense and Sacred Way, the Hatching Pool, the Elemental Pool... everything he had accumulated over thousands of years was as fragile as paper in the face of this enemy.
Jemin's mind raced as he quickly searched for information that might be able to restrain this enemy.
The wreckage of the divine weaponry, images of life-storage tanks being deployed into the furnace core, the structure of hundreds of divine weapons sealed inside that satellite, research data from the Tentacle Tree civilization…
All the fragments rapidly pieced together in his mind.
Hundreds of divine weapons were sealed together in a satellite, which clearly meant they weren't just randomly piled up by someone, but rather "deliberately sealed." If they were just inventory, there would be no need to do this.
Why gather hundreds of suits of armor together? And why are those suits of armor arranged in that way?
A more plausible explanation is... that wasn't a warehouse at all, but a cage!
A cage to keep something inside!
All the divine weapons studied had different attack methods, including matter manipulation, energy radiation, and spatial collapse—virtually everything. They seemed to have nothing in common, but Jemin knew there was one thing in common: the activation method.
His eyes lit up.
All divine weapons share the same activation condition: absorbing life force.
Having grasped this key point, Jemin's thinking cut through the last layer of fog.
"That's not a biological extermination device..."
He muttered to himself, the light in his eyes growing colder.
"It's a cage designed for a single race."
The original design purpose of the God's Armament may not have been to kill lives at all.
Those lives indiscriminately killed were merely collateral damage; the real target was never those ordinary lives.
The so-called divine weaponry is a combination of jailers and the prison; its various attack methods are merely to prevent anyone from destroying the prison! The real means by which it restrains enemies is its seemingly inconspicuous activation method!
"Those stupid trees are providing more than enough life force!" Jemin immediately understood the reason for this accident.
Undoubtedly, this unknown enemy also has a huge thirst for life force, so when the excessive life force exceeds the absorption limit of the divine weapon, the prisoners who were originally trapped in the cage are able to revive.
Deep within Jemin's spiritual sea, countless runes surged forth from the database of the Five Aggregates Transformation Rainbow Mirror, rapidly reorganizing with the divine weapon's energy diversion architecture, core pulsation frequency band, and biomass conversion mode that he had analyzed.
A completely new framework for witchcraft was established in a very short time.
Therefore, outside of the Dharma form, a strange red light began to appear on Jemin's true body.
The red light didn't spread outwards; instead, it slowly receded inwards like breathing, its frequency perfectly matching the rhythm of the divine weapon absorbing life force upon activation. The next invisible attack landed precisely at that moment.
The injury, which was originally intended to pierce straight through the Dharma image's chest, suddenly deflected slightly upon contact with the dark red ripples.
As a result, the originally straight attack trajectory curved slightly.
But it was this tiny bend that caused the piercing wound, which should have hit the center of the chest, to deviate to the outer side of the left shoulder.
Feeling the arc-shaped penetrating wound appearing inside his own Dharma form, Jemin's lips slowly curled into a sinister smile.
"I've found you."
So, without hesitation, he punched himself in the face.
boom!
The sound of the nasal bone breaking resonated throughout the Dharma form through the energy resonance of the true body.
Jemin didn't hold back at all with his punch, and dark golden blood gushed out of his nose, splattering into the air.
At the same time, Jemin vibrated the surrounding elements, and his voice suddenly resounded in the theoretically vacuum of space: "Senior!"
A languid yet elegant voice rang out: "I'm here."
hum...
The floating blood droplets suddenly stopped.
Wisps of pale gray smoke rose slowly from the collapsed bridge of Jemin's nose.
That was pain.
The pain that Jemin deliberately created.
This pain, originating from himself, was invisibly materialized.
The smoke grew thicker and thicker, eventually coalescing into a complete human shape in front of the Dharma image's chest.
He had long, silver-gray hair and a dark blue robe, with an elegant yet dangerous smile playing on his lips.
Viola, the "Witch of Pain," has descended.
Using the pain from Jemin's punch as an anchor, they directly crossed the endless void and descended from the Sulfur Plane of Purgatory to this place.
As the logistics manager for this interdimensional war, Viola had actually been keeping a close eye on the movements across the entire plane.
When Jemin encountered such a bizarre attack, he contacted her immediately.
And she had been waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity to bring that thing into the "perceptible range".
Viola looked up in a certain direction, her smile deepening little by little.
"So that's where it was hidden."
She extended her right hand and gently clenched her fists.
boom!!!
A violent, invisible wave exploded in the void.
The next moment, a large amount of visible, painful smoke surged out from that empty area.
The thing's true form was still not visible, but the pain it had suffered from the witchcraft created by Jemin had betrayed its location.
Jemin's eyes flashed, and he immediately took a step to the side, blocking Viola's path.
The next instant, Faxiang's chest was pierced again.
However, the destructive power of this attack was far less than before.
The deflection of the attack trajectory earlier meant that the creature had indeed suffered "pain" due to the new witchcraft created by Jemin.
If the other party can feel "pain", then it means that it is not truly an intangible thing.
As long as you can feel pain, you can be locked into the law of pain.
The Witch of Pain is best at finding the pain of other creatures.
Viola's fingers tightened again, and painful smoke burst wildly from the depths of the void, like countless skinned venomous snakes writhing and struggling in the unseen space.
The thing was finally forced to react.
The source of the painful smoke quickly moved away, indicating that the creature was preparing to escape!
Seeing this, Viola frowned slightly and exerted her power again, causing the void to tremble even more violently.
Painful smoke surged like a tide, but the thing retreated even faster.
Viola had no choice but to unleash her full power.
Finally, the last wisp of painful smoke dissipated in the starlight.
The battlefield returned to deathly silence.
Viola slowly withdrew her hand, a rare hint of genuine regret appearing on her face: "Unfortunately, I couldn't stop them; I had no choice but to kill them."
