It was at this moment.

A burly figure fell like a meteorite, crashing heavily beside Caesar.

Snowflakes flew everywhere, and the frozen ground cracked.

Xiang Yu, wielding a giant shield and covered in blood, still had fighting spirit in his double pupils. His chest heaved violently, and hot white breath spewed from his mouth and nose.

As soon as he landed, a memory flooded into Zhou Huai's mind through the soul link.

In the scene, the golden giant named Bhadra paused in his movements after sensing the golden divine light erupting from the mountaintop.

He then withdrew his fists and feet without hesitation.

He didn't even glance at Xiang Yu, turned around and leaped to the foot of the snow-capped mountain, found the man in the white suit buried in the snow, and rushed out of the entrance to the ruins in a few leaps.

They left decisively and cleanly.

Their mission appears to be merely to buy time and ensure that Kujo Naruya is successfully revived.

Now that Kujo Naruya has awakened, their goal has been achieved, and they have no intention of getting involved in this life-or-death struggle between the Sakura Kingdom and the Great Xia.

Zhou Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's better that they've left.

If I involve them further, the pressure on me will only increase.

Now all you need to do is focus on dealing with this Amaterasu Omikami in front of you.

However, this was the strongest professional opponent Zhou Huai had ever encountered.

"It seems your helpers have all arrived."

Kujo Naruya stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

He did not stop Xiang Yu from joining the group, and even looked down with great interest at the group of powerful figures of various shapes and sizes below.

"So many SS-level professionals..."

"The Great Xia is indeed a vast and resource-rich land, producing many talented individuals."

"No wonder he was able to drive my descendants to such a state."

At this point, he changed the subject.

His once kind and gentle face suddenly turned cold in his pale golden eyes.

He was like a god high in the clouds, looking down at the ignorant ants below.

"Alright."

"Taking advantage of my resurrection and regeneration, I will leave all of you top combat forces of Great Xia here."

"To avoid trouble later."

Before he could finish speaking...

Kujo Naruya raised his right hand.

Palms facing up, fingers slightly spread.

Buzz—

A ball of light, no bigger than a ping-pong ball, materialized in his palm.

At first, it was unremarkable.

But in the blink of an eye, the sphere of light began to expand violently.

A blinding burst of white light illuminated the entire snow-capped mountaintop as bright as day, turning everyone's vision into a ghastly white.

What followed was a terrifying heatwave.

Sizzle sizzle—

The moisture in the air evaporates, making a hissing sound.

The eternal ice beneath their feet, which had never melted for millennia, was now melting at a visible speed, turning into a surging torrent that rushed down.

The sphere of light rose higher and higher, and its size increased.

In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a giant fireball with a diameter of 100 meters, hanging high in the sky.

Like a miniature sun!

A wave of heat rolled in, hitting us in the face.

Zhou Huai felt a series of stinging pains on his skin, as if he were next to a steel furnace, and even the air he breathed in felt like it was burning his lungs.

"This is......"

Zhou Huai's pupils contracted.

He quickly searched through the information about this "Amaterasu" in his mind.

Although it is a long time ago, much of the information has long been blurred in the dust of history.

But one record stands out remarkably clearly.

【Amaterasu, the sun's favorite.】

【Where the sun shines, his body is immortal, his strength inexhaustible.】

【As long as he is under sunlight, his magical power is inexhaustible; he can even use the sun's power to reshape his physical body, becoming immortal!】

Zhou Huai's heart sank.

There were no sun, moon, or stars within these ruins, which was one of the reasons Zhou Huai dared to stay and take the plunge.

But he never expected it.

This old monster can actually conjure a sun with his bare hands!

Under the illumination of this artificial sun, Kujo Naruya's previously somewhat weak aura began to rise at an astonishing speed.

Zhou Huai could clearly sense that the free fire and light elements around him were frantically surging into the old man's body.

We absolutely cannot let him continue like this!

His connection with this "sun" must be severed!

Since you want to create the sun, then I will give you an eternal night!

"Moria!"

Zhou Huai let out a low shout in his heart.

From the shadows, a tall, slender figure quietly emerged.

Moria was pale. He looked up at the blinding sun overhead, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes.

That's a biological instinct to reject predators.

But he did not hesitate at all.

With arms outstretched, the vast shadow energy within him poured out like a flood bursting its banks.

Ultimate move—【Eternal Night Domain】!

Centered on Moria, an intense, impenetrable darkness surged into the sky.

Within a radius of one kilometer, the light was forcibly swallowed up.

The once pristine white snow-capped peaks were now shrouded in endless darkness.

It was an extreme kind of black.

There was no starlight, no moonlight.

Only oppressive ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) silence and cold.

Even the light emitted by the artificial sun overhead was weakened layer by layer after entering this area, and could only barely illuminate a few meters around Kujo Naruya.

The ice and snow that were melting rapidly were re-condensing in this extreme cold and darkness.

The previously invincible high temperature was replaced by a biting cold.

"oh?"

Kujo Naruya, who was in the center of the darkness, raised an eyebrow.

He looked at the darkness surging around him like a tide, a look of great interest on his face.

"Domain?"

"And it's an extremely pure shadow-based domain."

He shook his head slightly, a faint mockery playing at the corners of his lips.

"It seems you know something about me."

"You want to sever my connection with the sun in this way?"

"That's a good idea."

"It's just a pity..."

Kujo Naruya raised his hand, his fingertips lightly touching the air.

"A brief period of darkness cannot obscure an eternal light."

"In the face of the true sun, all shadows are merely fuel."

Zhou Huai didn't want to listen to his nonsense at all.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Eternal Night Domain suppressed the opponent's senses.

"Let's do it!"

At a command.

All the clones, which had been poised to attack, suddenly sprang into action!

"Meteor Shower!"

Gandalf brandished his staff, and dozens of meteors burning with soul-devouring flames tore through the darkness, crashing down with an aura of destruction.

"The starry sky shattered!"

Da Yi drew his longbow to its fullest extent, and starlight converged into an arrow powerful enough to pierce mountains, which whistled out and aimed directly at Kujo Naruya's brow.

"Holy Judgment!"

Gabriel raised his holy sword high, and a thick pillar of holy light descended from the sky.

"Thor's Wrath!"

Yasuo transformed into lightning, his longsword crackling with immense lightning, and instantly teleported behind Kujo Naruya, slashing at his neck with a single strike.

Even Xiang Yu, who was in charge of the tanks, wielded his giant shield, stirring up thousands of piles of snow, which crashed down on him.
