Chapter 924: Divine Aggregation! Divine Manifestation!


But although it was indeed penetrated, the Ancestor Virus Aggregation didn't give Zhang Yanhang the chance to disengage, instead, at the moment of penetration, the pale palms were already controlled to explode violently, instantly enveloping the fist created by the Indestructible Golden Body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Twenty pale palms exploded simultaneously, releasing a massive amount of light radiation and thermal radiation, creating a wide-ranging nuclear explosion zone, which almost completely covered dozens of surrounding Golden Body Energy Fists, and the detached Golden Body Energy itself was like rootless duckweed. Although it inherited the defensive power, most of it still dissipated in this explosion.

After all, even if Zhang Yanhang's own body got hit by a megaton-scale nuclear fusion explosion, it would still lose a hundred shield value, not to mention these Golden Body Energy Fists that can't replenish or repair.

But although most of them were blown away, the remaining Golden Body Energy Fists still numbered more than ten. So, adhering to the principle of squeezing remaining resources, Zhang Yanhang continued to manipulate them to charge towards the Ancestor Virus Aggregation, wanting to test the defensive strength of the Sixth Tier Monster.

The Golden Body Energy Fists advancing at 100 times sound speed, if you ignore the fierce airflow surrounding them and the violently fluctuating Mach Rings, look almost like physical instantaneous movement, taking only 0.01 seconds to reach the Ancestor Virus Aggregation, which was caught off guard and could only barely raise its arms to block.

But facing the Golden Body Energy Fists with millions of tons of energy, the surface defense of the Ancestor Virus Aggregation was exceptionally weak, and the Golden Body Energy Fists almost effortlessly penetrated its outer skin.

Its internal muscle layers instantly turned into a mush in the conduction of the impact, and were further turned into an excellent medium for the transmission of kinetic energy, further transmitting the massive impact force to the bones.

Accompanied by continuous cracking sounds, the gray-white bones thicker than marble columns first developed dense surface cracks, immediately exploded and scattered, either rushing into the mushy flesh in front or towards the still somewhat intact muscular layers behind.

But even though it was a comminuted fracture, its gigantic size still made its smallest bone fragments larger than an adult's pelvis.

These hard bone fragments with sharp edges, acting under the impact force, all converged at the point of impact and turned into sharp knives that pierced through flesh mixtures, easily cutting through the muscular layers behind like a spiral drill, and ultimately, under the pressure of the Golden Body Energy Fists, quickly rushed towards the rear chest position.

After effortlessly breaking through the arm, the Golden Body Energy Fists, although somewhat depleted, continued towards the chest under Zhang Yanhang's manipulation.

However, under Zhang Yanhang's powerful attack, while the chest defense was slightly stronger, it wasn't strong enough to matter, so the Golden Body Energy Fists smoothly penetrated the muscle layers of the Ancestor Virus Aggregation again.

But at this moment, the Golden Body Energy Fists were already somewhat exhausted, so as they remained inside, Zhang Yanhang immediately snapped his fingers again, "You've been self-destructing all this time; now it's my turn. Acting like nobody can self-destruct."

Accompanied by violent explosions, those ten-plus Golden Body Energy Fists immediately turned into fragmented golden energy fragments, swiftly traversing within the Ancestor Virus Aggregation, continuously slicing through muscle tissues and gray-white bones in their path.

But due to the nature of being a virus aggregation, it seemed to have no such organs as intestines or liver and gallbladder, only a huge ancestral heart connecting the blood vessels to steadily supply blood to the body.

This enormous heart, comparable to a six-story building, had far stronger defensive capabilities than any muscle layer or bones. The golden energy fragments, which could easily destroy muscle tissues and gray-white bones, barely worked against the heart, only able to slightly cut open part of the outer muscle layer.

But this was somewhat normal, as the heart was indeed quite important for these virus creatures (especially Tyrants) and was generally the hardest organ of the body.

Though the Ancestor Virus Aggregation indeed temporarily resisted this wave of attacks from the Golden Body Energy Fists, its chest surface was still blasted into a dozen several-meter-large blood holes. Honestly, it wasn't far from being turned into a sieve.

Yet, although nearly turned into a sieve, the Ancestor Virus Aggregation's chest and arms were regenerating rapidly with high intensity, with the chest blood holes and severed arms frantically regenerating at a visible speed. The newly formed muscle fibers rapidly emerged and continuously filled the severed spots.

As for the self-destructed palms thrown out earlier, under high-speed regeneration, they were almost regenerated.

As for why Zhang Yanhang said the Ancestor Virus Aggregation only temporarily blocked this attack, it was because, in the next moment, several faint blue energy fists suddenly appeared within its chest. Yes, the extra attack had come.

He had already increased the triggered extra attack rate of Longbo's power to an extremely high 24%, meaning roughly one in four attacks would trigger it, which could completely be used as a normal attack method. As he had previously punched in more than ten fists, naturally, it could be triggered by sheer numbers.

And Zhang Yanhang let the Golden Body Energy Fists self-destruct last to better harness the power of the extra attack; after all, direct penetration cannot surpass the damage caused by continuous internal explosions.

These four faint blue energy fists, upon appearance, first carried ferocious power and rushed forward for a distance, effortlessly breaking the chest bone defense and entering the chest cavity, only then exploding like the previous Golden Body Energy Fists.

With a thud, the originally several-meter-sized energy fists instantly transformed into thousands of tiny energy fragments in their spiral advancement, frantically cutting through the surrounding muscle tissues and chest bones.

The gigantic heart that could previously withstand the golden body energy fragments now appeared defenseless in front of the light blue energy fragments caused by the extra attack, with the outer muscle tissues being forcefully penetrated like a hot knife through butter.

The gigantic internal artery, which was far wider than the underground pipes, was almost torn apart by the energy fragments at the moment of intrusion.

Although they were arteries, what the heart transported was not blood, but those tiny parasites that resembled oil. Due to having a certain level of self-awareness, these parasites even attempted to bite the energy fragments to prevent further destruction, but they were already crushed and obliterated into dust by the impact carried by the metal fragments before they could even get close.

However, this was still not the limit of these energy fragments. They continued their frantic charge, piercing through the heart and out from the other side, finally crashing into the muscle layer on its back. The Ancestor Virus Aggregation had thick tentacles on its back, but these tentacles evidently did not provide it with any extra defense capability, allowing most of the energy fragments charging towards the back to break through its muscular layer.

Some of the strategically placed energy fragments even damaged a portion of the hard spine while breaking through the muscle layers.

And of course, explosions occurred both front and back. Zhang Yanhang could clearly see the blood hole in front of the Ancestor Virus Aggregation's chest, which had just begun to show signs of healing, suddenly spewing out more fragments of muscle tissue, bone debris, and black body fluid (parasites).

This time, the original blood hole had turned directly into a massive see-through cavity, with several transparent holes caused by extra attacks and energy fragmentation scattered across the chest of the Ancestor Virus Aggregation like stars, truly turning it into a sieve. The heart, originally responsible for supplying blood, now dripped gray-black fluid resembling oil from large ladles as it leaked continuously.

This was because the viscosity of the Ancestor Virus Aggregation's body fluid was relatively high; otherwise, under normal circumstances, with its height of more than two hundred meters, the heart turned into a sieve would cause the fluid to spew out tens of meters, even up to hundreds of meters, quite commonly.

Unfortunately for Zhang Yanhang, the Double Strike was not triggered this time. If prompted after the 425% Attack Power extra attack and again at 850%, the entire chest cavity of the Ancestor Virus Aggregation would likely be punched directly through with a single attack.

However, there's no helping it, as the trigger probability for Double Strike is relatively low, only a mere 12%, meaning one occurs once every eight to nine extra impacts. If calculated directly for the Normal attack's Double Strike trigger percentage, the probability is even just 2.9%.

The energy fists triggered by Zhang Yanhang still needed a lot more to forcibly enable Double Strike through sheer numbers.

To be honest, Zhang Yanhang didn't anticipate the defense capability of the Ancestor Virus Aggregation to be so poor, resulting in such serious injuries merely from the extra attacks triggered by the Golden Body Energy Fists.

Well, this might also relate to the frequency of attacks. Typically, when Zhang attacked enemies, only a few punches were needed to obliterate them. But this time, he executed more than ten Golden Body Energy Fists, equivalent to about ten attacks. Although the attack intensity of the Golden Body Energy Fist was certainly not as high as that of Zhang himself, the quantity invoked a qualitative change, and with more than ten attempts, the Ancestor Virus Aggregation was rendered crippled to some extent. This might not solely be due to its weak defense.

Admittedly, in terms of defense capability, the Ancestor Virus Aggregation is indeed the weakest among the lord monsters Zhang encountered, given that there's no armor or protective gear to rely on, relying solely on itself. This is probably one of the weaknesses of humanoid monsters, unable to withstand blows.

Compared to previous encounters like the Crimson Iron Queen Ant and Demon Pig Peppa, the former had an exoskeleton armor, and the latter bore earthen armor, making them significantly stronger in defense than the 'bare' humanoid monster such as the Ancestor Virus Aggregation.

Of course, it might also be because the Ancestor Virus Aggregation excelled more in offense, resulting in weaker defensive capabilities, as its body was indeed full of offensive capabilities, and methods like nuclear fusion plus dozens of arms suggested its proficiency in offense.

Unfortunately, even so, the best offense of the Ancestor Virus Aggregation was insignificant in front of Zhang Yanhang's energy shield, which had been amplified to forty-eight times the defensive power.

Hence, Zhang Yanhang inexplicably felt as if he hadn't exerted full force yet the opponent had already collapsed, since he hadn't started enhancing with buffs related to attack power apart from the Attack Power Bonus from the Indestructible Golden Body.

However, this is merely the First Tier of the Ancestor Virus Aggregation, with the upcoming Second Tier consisting of the Divine Aggregation State, where the Ancestor Virus Aggregation will likely display its true capabilities. Zhang Yanhang was quite excited for this, eager to witness the true strength of the Sixth Tier or, more aptly, discover what level the so-called Divine essence will reach.

As Zhang Yanhang pondered various trivial matters without immediately launching another attack, the Ancestor Virus Aggregation, severely wounded with its heart damaged like a giant ladle, finally fulfilled Zhang Yanhang's wish and promptly activated the Divine Attribute Aggregation Skill.

Layer upon layer of dark red blood-colored spirit light, or energy radiating from divinity, continuously surged towards the crucial heart of the Ancestor Virus Aggregation from its limbs. With the appearance of divine radiance, an irregular polyhedral crystal that flashed with rainbow colors rapidly emerged within the Ancestor Virus Aggregation's heart, almost instantaneously converging like in fast forward.

The gathered irregular polyhedral crystal surface bore extensive blood-red markings and exposed dense internal cracks, indicating improperly sorted assemblage.

Zhang Yanhang guessed this might be what it called a Divine essence, though a normal Divine essence in his impression should be quite pretty, projecting a sense of awe and holiness on first glance. But the product created by the Ancestor Virus Aggregation, honestly, looked quite off.

Nevertheless, this was forcefully condensed, so something off seemed rather normal. Observing the blood-red markings on its surface and fine cracks exposed internally, Zhang Shang believes that the Ancestor Virus Aggregation likely condensed this Divine essence by forcibly suppressing with its divinity. But the power of divinity is limited; once exhausted, this Divine essence might shatter from the center.

Hmm, this aligns well with the skill's description, originally suggesting a burst and mutual destruction type skill, usable only once. Even after the cooldown period passes, the Ancestor Virus Aggregation will be unable to use this skill again due to exhausted divinity. Thus, it did not directly commence with Divine Aggregation when attacking Zhang Yanhang initially.
