Chapter 1033, Never Fighting Alone

Bassol's rage erupted like a supernova, driving the shattered Omnipotent Furnace to relentlessly pursue the trail of the Storm Kingdom against the backdrop of churning, chaotic warp space.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally caught up.

Bassol immediately activated the All-Encompassing Furnace and slammed it hard into the furnace!

Molten metal and foul energy still flowed from the breach in the Gear Sky, but the "All-Encompassing Furnace" itself had now transformed into the most ferocious battering ram. Each spatial jump was accompanied by a roar that tore through dimensions, determined to completely smash and dismantle the Storm God Kingdom and throw Gu Hang into the eternal, blasphemous core of the furnace!

"Coward! Thief! You have nowhere to run!" Bassol's will transformed into billions of sharp mechanical noises and blasphemous roars, crashing against the borders of the Storm God Kingdom.

His massive body once again extended countless enormous tentacles composed of energy, distorted laws, and refined gold. Skipping the probing, he directly crossed the void with an absolute destructive will to shatter stars and annihilate divine kingdoms, fiercely lashing towards the Storm God Kingdom!

Wherever the tentacles passed, the indigo thunderclouds surrounding the Storm God Kingdom seemed to be thrown into ice and snow with strong acid, melting and disintegrating in large swathes.

Gu Hang did not intend to withstand Bassor's attack head-on.

Just as he rammed his Storm Kingdom into the All-Encompassing Furnace, creating a huge hole in the sky of the 'Creator's' kingdom, Bassol's fierce attack had been brewing for a long time.

A head-on confrontation is not the best strategy.

Inside the Storm God Kingdom, thunder roared and the temple trembled. Countless runes crackling with lightning did not project defensive barriers outward; instead, they collapsed inward.

This constitutes a gravitational trap, like an invisible and viscous giant spider web, or the edge of a greedy black hole's event horizon, actively "embracing" and guiding those tentacles carrying destructive energy!

Bassor looked on in surprise.

He sensed that his attack hadn't struck the Storm God Kingdom's true form as expected. Instead, it felt as if he were stuck in sticky glue, pulled away by a powerful, strangely directional force, deviating from his target. The attack trajectory of those tentacles, capable of disintegrating everything, was forcibly bent, and the vast amount of destructive energy was absorbed and deflected by that bizarre gravitational trap!

Some of the energy was swallowed up by the trap itself, as if it had sunk to the bottom of the sea; the other part, under Gu Hang's ingenious guidance, was like a plucked string, shooting along the tangent direction set by the trap into the empty depths of the subspace, or, more unfortunately, crashing into some unfortunate subspace entity nests that happened to be passing by, triggering a violent secondary energy storm.

"Use my power to wear me down?"

Bassor instantly understood Gu Hang's intention, which further fueled his rage.

He immediately tried to manipulate the tentacles to escape the damned gravity trap.

But the trap was stickier than anyone could imagine, as if it were stuck to the energy structure of the tentacles.

Forcibly breaking free means tearing apart one's own power structure, causing secondary damage; continuing to output power is merely charging Gu Hang's trap, futilely consuming precious primordial divine power.

Instead of confronting the attack head-on, Gu Hang took advantage of the opponent's eagerness for revenge, his frenzied power, and the fact that his control was weakened due to the damage to his divine kingdom. He set up a huge "funnel" that caused most of Bassol's fierce attack to be wasted, with a small portion being absorbed by himself or converted into energy to sustain the trap.

The pressure on the Storm Kingdom decreased sharply, and it quickly stabilized.

Having weathered the first and most intense wave of attacks, Gu Hang knew this was only a temporary respite. Bassol would adjust, would find a way to break free of the trap. He had to seize the opportunity, when the enemy's strength was further weakened by the previous heavy blows and this ineffective attack, to complete the most crucial step—severing the connection between Bassol's invading power and his true form, firmly "nailing" him to the Storm God's realm!
"it's time."

Above the lightning spike, Gu Hang's main body clasped his hands together, and the immense thunderous power accumulated by the Storm God Kingdom was no longer pouring outwards, but rather highly condensed and compressed inwards.

A miraculous point of light was born between his palms, radiating a wave that made even Bassor's heart tremble.

At the same time, at the edge of the Storm God Kingdom, the indigo thundercloud barrier that was originally used for defense suddenly collapsed and reorganized inward! Countless dazzling, huge chains made of pure order runes, like the roots of a divine tree growing from the void, instantly wrapped around and locked the Bassol energy tentacles that were deeply embedded in the "gravity trap" and trying to break free!
"I've got you, Creator!"

These chains act directly on the core of Bassol's power!

Bassol's tentacles convulsed and twisted violently, the chaotic laws that constituted it were forcibly frozen and solidified by chains, and the connection between it and the subspace background and its main body far away in the All-Encompassing Furnace was violently severed!

"No! You can't imprison me!" Bassor screamed in terror and rage.

He felt that this part of his power, like a piece of viscous, hardened cement, had become extremely weak and unstable in its connection to the main body. He frantically channeled his power, trying to detonate this tentacle-like part of the main body and forcibly break free.

However, this was the moment Gu Hang had been waiting for!
The singularity he had condensed between his palms was instantly pressed into the core of the lightning in the Storm God Kingdom! An invisible but powerful stable force field, centered on Gu Hang, suddenly spread out and instantly enveloped the entire area of the Storm God Kingdom that had been invaded!
Like a giant insulating layer, this force field not only isolates the erosion of the external subspace, but also exerts a terrifying suppression on the heterogeneous existence inside!

Under these double shackles, Bassol's incarnation of the invading source power was completely and firmly imprisoned within the Storm God Kingdom!

His connection with the main body of the Myriad Furnace has been weakened to the point that it is almost impossible to maintain!

Basssol, there's no going back!
Gu Hang's expression remained completely calm.

He knew that simply keeping Bassor around wouldn't yield much benefit.

Even if his so-called original body were killed and devoured, what would be swallowed would only be some subspace essence.

It's certainly a great supplement and a huge benefit, but it's far from a qualitative change.

This small amount of profit is not enough to satisfy Gu Hang.

The essence of Bassol lies in his title of 'Creator' and in his divine kingdom of 'Furnace of All Things'.

Therefore, conquering the divine kingdom is what Gu Hang desires most!
However, although Gu Hang had controlled Bassol's physical body, his power was also currently restricted to this location.

However, Gu Hang is not a lone wolf.

He is the ruler!
He will not, and does not need to, fight alone!

He had already sent a call to the real universe when he decided to retaliate!
The previous chase with Bassor, besides confirming that no other beings in the warp were interfering, was also about gathering many useful forces in the real universe.
