Chapter 637 - Merely a Fatal Blow

Obsidrum Judgement wasn’t just exceedingly destructive but also had lock-on capabilities. Once fired, it would hit the target no matter what, even if there were millions of fodders trying to block the attack.

Obsidrum Judgement used the genes of its target to achieve this effect. Normally, it was unstoppable, but the situation with the Origin of Mutation was an exceptional circumstance. It had originally split from Han Wu, meaning their genes were almost identical. Even if they weren’t, the Origin of Mutation could always edit its genes until it was close enough.

Oracle knew this, hence why he suggested Warmaster attack Han Wu at all. As planned, the Origin of Mutation ran back to the plaza to stop the attack from killing Han Wu.

“Die, and all our sacrifices will not be in vain,” Oracle murmured. Though he could no longer see, his heart was still bright.

At the same time, Qiu Yun was busy explaining the combined attack from Oracle and Warmaster and was receiving an intense backlash of responses.

“Is there even a need for a match? That’s a guaranteed one-hit kill move!”

“The Divine River Civilization is foolish to drag the match for so long. If they had this move, why didn’t they use it to begin with? They’re just fools who revel in entertainment.”

“Maybe they were trying to obtain victory with the least amount of losses? It takes immense time and resources to nurture an exceedingly powerful Genesoldier. The Oracle permanently lost his sight for the sake of this attack. The price is steep.”

“Wait, the axe doesn’t seem to be flying towards the crystal! It’s not aimed at the crystal but at Han Wu!”

“This is murder! They’re trying to murder our most talented genius in broad daylight! Those despicable bastards!”

Even the referees had noticed that the Obsidrum Judgement wasn’t aimed at the crystal but instead at Han Wu.

The Divine River Civilization representative was bewildered until he saw the Origin of Mutation rushing back to the plaza. He had to admit that this method had a higher chance of success compared to breaking the crystal or attacking the Origin of Mutation directly.

“Divine River Civilization, once this is over, the Divine Civilization will demand an explanation from you!” the Divine Civilization representative said coldly. There were simply too many unjust elements in this match.

“The Divine River Civilization will provide a statement on this,” replied the Divine River Civilization representative, his tone incomprehensibly laidback.

In his eyes, the mission was going to be completed. This meant one less obstacle to the Divine River Civilization. What was there for him to stress about?

Han Wu felt an oppressive feeling approaching him and looked up to see a giant axe flying directly at him. He immediately ran, but he soon realized that the giant axe was tracking him closely.

Under his command, one of the merged level 55 locusts flew up to stop the Obsidrum Judgement, but it simply cleaved straight through the locust and soared onward with steadfast precision.

Han Wu panicked. With his unlocked strength, it was impossible for him to survive against the Obsidrum Judgement. That was when the Origin of Mutation appeared, charging toward him at full speed.

“Vessel, thank you for giving me life and supporting my research,” it shouted as it approached. “You’ve shown me the value of living. There’s not much time now. I’ve turned a part of this field into the Nether Realm, connecting it to the outside. When I die, shatter the crystal and escape through that Nether Realm. Karl, the owner of the Nether Realm, will avenge me.”

“What are you talking about? We joined this match to ensure that you don’t die. What’s the point of all this if you do?” Han Wu said angrily.

The Obsidrum Judgement accelerated as it descended upon Han Wu like an executioner’s blade. Not once did it deviate from its target. Its destructive presence left everyone in shock. None of them could survive the blow with their present state. Death in the match was permanent, and Han Wu’s appeared unavoidable.

The Origin of Mutation smiled as it stood before Han Wu, subtly altering its genetic data to more closely match Han Wu. This was the only way it could trick the Obsidrum Judgement.

“Come, for this is my fate!” the Origin of Mutation roared.

Since its birth, it seemed it was destined to die at the Divine River Civilization’s hands. As the Obsidrum Judgement descended, its destructive power prickled the Origin of Mutation’s skin like needles.

Then, a figure appeared to stand before the two, his head of white hair fluttering in the wind. It was Commerce, the weakest in their team of five. Even the enemies and the viewers outside had ignored him up to this point.

He stepped forward in their darkest moment, swinging a weak fist, like cotton floating in the wind. However, as he did, the long string of numbers on his head plummeted swiftly to zero.

Suddenly, his slow fist released a force more powerful than a tsunami. The strength behind that single punch had exceeded that of a World life form. The deadly Obsidrum Judgement shattered upon contact.

“It’s merely a fatal blow. Just destroy it,” Commerce said nonchalantly.

In Han Wu’s eyes, the two-meter-tall Commerce seemed to exude the aura of someone 20,000 meters tall.

Warmaster was stunned. He had never expected his one-hit kill move to be so easily trumped, let alone by the weakest member of the Divine Civilization’s team.

“Did it work?” Oracle excitedly asked. “Is the Origin of Mutation dead?”

Warmaster’s throat felt as though it was clogged with cotton. Words seemed beyond him at the moment. Commerce had destroyed the attack that Warmaster and the rest had staked everything on. What could Warmaster even say to Oracle?

Just then, a huge group of Deathsworn appeared before the Divine River Civilization’s team, moaning as they advanced.

They had caught the scent of genes and were here to offer the purest form of death on behalf of their master, Karl.
