Chapter 260: 260. The Overwhelming Strength of Grey Orion
"Whatever, you're coming with me just like him," Rosaline said, using her talent to create a giant hand out of countless flower petals, intending to grab Gray Orion.
Gray Orion smirked and activated the Curse of Disintegration in Curse Transformation mode, causing gray particles to radiate from his entire body.
He then touched the incoming giant flower hand, and with a single tap, it began to disintegrate into nothingness, slowly but surely, until the entire hand dissolved.
"How is that possible?"
Rosaline was shocked beyond belief. She couldn't believe her eyes. She was a divine-rank expert, one of the strongest in the world, and yet her attack had been rendered useless by someone at the silver rank.
Orion witnessed this as well but wasn't surprised. He knew the Curse Transformation ability was somewhat broken. If one ignored the curse's side effects, it was essentially an overpowered ability.
He only faced limitations in Curse Transformation mode because of his weak body. A silver-rank body could only handle a limited amount of energy, but that wasn't the case for the clone.
Since the clone was entirely made of chaos energy, it didn't matter how much chaos energy he used.
In a way, only his clone could fully utilize the potential of Curse Transformation.
Orion even suspected that, for the clone, Curse Transformation mode and Burst Mode might be the same. While Burst Mode increased the power of the curse by using its full potential, his clone could achieve the same effect by channeling infinite chaos energy into the curse in Curse Transformation mode.
Though he wondered if his clone were to use Burst Mode, how powerful would he become? And more importantly, would the clone also lose his curse permanently if that happened?
Orion doubted it. His clone was an exact replica of him. If he died, the clone would die too. If he lost or gained a curse, so would the clone. This made him wonder—since he possessed the curse, but only the clone would lose it due to Burst Mode, would the curse eventually return to him?
Orion didn't dare delve too deeply into that thought, as he believed that if it happened, only a handful of beings could ever defeat him.
"Are you shocked by this?" Gray Orion sneered with a sinister expression. "I wonder how you'll react to this."
A vast amount of energy surged from his body, causing the ground—and the entire palace—to shake uncontrollably.
"This!" Rosaline's face turned to one of pure astonishment as she felt the immense energy emanating from Gray Orion.
Merlin frowned deeply, while a smile spread across Kane's face as he sensed the overwhelming energy being released.
"How can you possess this much energy?!" Rosaline exclaimed in shock.
Gray Orion smiled. "You could say I'm one of a kind."
He added, "Now, do you still think you can take me away?"
A serious expression appeared on Rosaline's face as she pondered, then said, "Well, we can only fight to determine that."
She was determined to bring Orion to the Celestial Court because of how dangerous he was. Now that she had witnessed the strength of his clone, she was even more certain that she needed to call the Ten Seats Summit as soon as possible.
Orion himself posed a significant threat to the entire three domains, and adding his clone with such a level of strength only increased the threat to a terrifying degree.
One thing that did bring her some relief was that Orion was still on their side—the side of humanity—and had not yet joined the dark forces of the Montreux universe—the Black Order.
She wanted to keep it that way. But to do so, she would need to call upon the Ten Seats Summit and inform the other seats about Orion.
Humanity couldn't afford an unexpected variable—another ancient demon—at this point, especially not with the possibility of the other three races starting a war at any moment.
"A fight?" Gray Orion smiled and looked at Merlin, Rosaline, and Kane. "I know you three are the top experts in this world, but I wonder if you'll have any trouble surviving this."
He snapped his fingers, and in a flash, all of them—including Gray Orion—were enclosed in a black sphere swirling with black lightning.
This was the ultimate bomb Orion had prepared for situations he couldn't foresee or handle. Since Gray Orion was just another version of him, their dimensions were also the same.
The moment Gray Orion emerged from Orion's body, he had been supplying infinite chaos energy to the bomb Orion had prepared.
But unlike Orion, who could only supply limited energy at a time, Gray Orion was feeding the bomb with literally infinite chaos energy. Not only did it change the bomb's color to black, but it also increased its strength to an unimaginable level that even Gray Orion couldn't fully comprehend.
Orion wasn't surprised when he saw this. He had already anticipated that his clone would do this the moment he sensed him channeling infinite energy into the bomb.
But it was a different story for the others.
Rosaline, Merlin, and even Kane were shocked to suddenly find themselves inside such a potent energy sphere.
Black lightning relentlessly attacked them, while another type of energy seemed to consume everything around them.
"Enough of this," Kane said, his body releasing a bright golden hue that illuminated the entire black sphere.
'Could he be…?' Gray Orion had a bold thought, as did Orion. Both of them looked at each other, feeling the shock in their eyes.
They didn't want to believe it, but it seemed that Kane alone would render the entire black sphere useless with the amount of energy he was emitting. Join the journey at m-vl-em-py-r
"You two are really the same, using the same move again and again. But you failed to notice a flaw in this strategy. While this bomb you created is indeed very strong, it's useless if someone as strong as me is inside. However, it's a different story if I were outside—any disturbance to the sphere from the outside would lead to its detonation, but that's not the case from within."
