#489 - Chapter 489 I Won’t Bow
Loki's armor was already cracked, his shoulders and chest covered in scorched marks, and blood seeped from the torn wounds.
However, these injuries did not weaken his fighting spirit; instead, they made him even angrier, the bloodlust in his eyes more piercing.
He stepped out of the wreckage of the explosion, step by step, and with each step, the earth seemed to tremble beneath his feet.
"Do you think these despicable means can make me submit?" Loki's voice carried a thunderous vibration, his anger like a flash flood, sweeping the entire battlefield.
He raised his giant battle ax again and swung it fiercely towards Topman, the edge of the ax cutting through the air with a sharp sound, as if the entire space was torn apart.
Topman snorted coldly and quickly dodged Loki's attack.
He did not intend to face the giant prince head-on, because he knew very well that even the strongest God Knights might not be able to defeat a giant in a pure test of strength.
The World Government's plan has never been to rely on individual strength, but to constantly weaken the enemy and eventually drive them to despair.
"Laughable anger, just a dying struggle." Topman said coldly, while issuing new orders to his God Knights, "Everyone, prepare to use tactical lockdown to seal off his retreat and leave him with nowhere to escape!"
The God Knights acted quickly, and several warriors, holding special sealing devices, quickly set up a tactical lockdown around Loki.
Their movements were extremely skillful, and transparent energy barriers rose one after another, trapping Loki and the surrounding giant warriors.
These barriers not only blocked physical attacks, but also interfered with mental and energy flow, limiting the enemy's range of movement.
Loki quickly noticed the existence of these barriers, and he swung his battle ax fiercely, striking the nearest barrier with it. Accompanied by a deafening collision, the surface of the barrier rippled violently, but it did not break immediately.
Loki frowned slightly, realizing that this barrier was more solid than he had expected.
"You think this kind of trick can trap me?"
Loki snorted coldly, and an astonishing aura erupted from his body. His muscles suddenly swelled, and all the power in his body seemed to be concentrated on the battle ax in his hand.
He took a deep breath, concentrated all his strength on one point, and the giant battle ax was raised high again, and with a roar, it slammed down.
The barrier finally could not withstand this absolute power, and it made a shattering sound, and then burst open.
Topman Warcury's face changed slightly, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
He originally wanted to consume Loki's stamina through tactical lockdown, but he did not expect that the other party could break the lockdown with pure brute force, which made him realize how difficult the opponent in front of him was.
However, he was not flustered, because he had even deeper plans that had not yet been implemented.
......
"Hahahaha!!!"
Loki's wild laughter echoed across the battlefield like thunder, shaking the earth slightly.
However, just as his laughter was at its loudest, that confident and arrogant aura was suddenly shrouded in a shadow.
The laughter stopped abruptly, stuck in his throat, like a strangled beast unable to make a sound.
He stared at Topman Warcury, a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
In the other party's hand, there were several more red crystals, the terrifying weapon he had just escaped from—DYNA rocks.
These crystals emitted a strange red light in the sunlight, as if countless flames were tumbling and burning inside, releasing a silent threat.
"Keep laughing." Topman Warcury's mouth curled into a cold smile, his tone full of戏谑 and provocation.
His eyes were like those of a hunter looking at a caged beast, filled with condescending contempt.
Loki's muscles tensed, and the hairs on his back stood on end. Those crystals were like the claws of a demon, drawing frightening arcs in the air, approaching him quickly.
His scalp tingled, and every nerve in his body was screaming danger.
Without time to think, he quickly held the battle ax in front of him and leaped backward, trying to create distance.
However, Topman Warcury had obviously anticipated his reaction. Those crystals seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force, their flight paths unpredictable, sometimes left, sometimes right, approaching Loki faster than before.
Each crystal seemed to have a life of its own, locking onto his aura, chasing him like a poisonous snake.
"Damn it!" Loki cursed inwardly, sweat breaking out on his forehead and his heart pounding wildly.
If he was hit by these crystals, the power of the explosion would be enough to tear him to pieces.
He realized that if he continued to resist like this, he would only be forced into a desperate situation.
Loki stepped on the ground, his huge body moving rapidly across the battlefield, dodging the pursuit of those crystals.
His movements seemed clumsy, but each change of direction was extremely precise, constantly dodging with a flexibility that did not match his giant body, and even wielding his battle ax in reverse to knock several flying crystals away.
"You can dodge once, twice, but can you dodge all of them?"
Topman watched Loki's struggle indifferently, his eyes full of the coldness of a hunter chasing prey.
He gently waved the scepter in his hand, and an invisible force wave spread out, instantly controlling those crystals that had been knocked away to change direction again and continue to attack Loki.
Loki's body became more and more tired from the strenuous exercise, his chest heaving, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.
He felt as if he was caught in an invisible net, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not get rid of the entanglement of these crystals.
"Damn it!" he roared, finally gritting his teeth and making a crazy decision.
He slammed the battle ax into the ground and overturned it with all his strength, tearing a huge gully in the earth, and earth and rocks flew up, obscuring his vision. At the same time, he leaped up suddenly, jumping more than ten meters high, trying to get rid of the lock on those crystals by using the dust raised.
But just as he had not yet landed, Topman's voice sounded again: "Do you think you can escape like this? Naive!"
Before he finished speaking, the last crystal suddenly burst open, and the red light of the explosion was like a blooming blood-colored flower, blooming in mid-air.
The ensuing shock wave swept across Loki like an angry tide, engulfing his entire figure in scorching flames.
The huge explosion echoed across the battlefield, as if even the sky was shaking.
Loki was hit hard by that devastating force, and his body was thrown far away like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, stirring up a pile of rubble and dust.
Topman looked at the tumbling smoke and dust and smiled coldly: "It seems that even the strongest will cannot compete with absolute power."
His words were filled with undisguised triumph, as if he had already seen Loki fall before him.
However, as the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Loki's figure reappeared in everyone's sight.
Although he was covered in wounds and his armor was broken, he was still standing stubbornly, with an unyielding fire burning in his eyes.
He coughed hard, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but then he raised his head and stared at Topman with eyes as sharp as knives.
"I will not submit!" Loki's voice was hoarse, but as firm as iron.
His legs trembled as they supported his body, but that fighting spirit did not waver at all, but became even hotter because of the other party's contempt.
"No matter how many crystals you have, how many schemes you have, today Elbaf will not bow to the World Government!"
Topman's face changed slightly, obviously not expecting Loki to be able to stand up again in this desperate situation.
He gripped the scepter in his hand tightly, and a shadow flashed in his eyes: "If that's the case, then I will completely crush your will and give you no chance to stand up again!"
