Without any idle talk, in the instant their True Bodies expanded, the two colossal figures clashed together.
The hammer in Richard’s hand looked simple and unadorned, yet when swung, it carried a force as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was shattering.
This was the simplest attack in the world, yet also the most unstoppable attack in the world.
All means are penetrated before absolute strength.
The Dimensional Incarnation, facing such a strike, had a vision of the scene where the former King of Titans wielded his hammer. The same sky-collapsing, earth-shattering power, equally unstoppable.
The Dimensional Incarnation shouted, the warhammer in his hand suddenly melting, transforming into an extremely sturdy brass shield.
If Tara was present at this moment, he would recognize that this shield was the weapon of a Titan Dominator from the past Shepherd Star Titans.
That Dominator was known for his spears and shields, and his way of fighting was to withstand attacks with the shield and then counterattack during lulls, with combat skills almost considered simplistic.
However, this Dominator was one of the most skilled in combat among the Shepherd Star Titans.
Simplicity sometimes means no excess.
The heavy hammer descended, causing the surface of the brass shield to ripple like water under the blow.
At the center of this strike, a deep indentation almost penetrated the body of the shield.
The Dimensional Incarnation laughed and shouted, with his other hand, not holding a shield, suddenly appearing a brass spear.
The next moment, the spear thrust forward.
This strike hit precisely at the point where Richard’s power was about to be exhausted, at this point, Richard’s energy had not yet started brewing new means, and the old ones could not change, making it the best moment to counterattack.
Even a nanosecond delay would make a huge difference in this opportunity.
On the brass spear, countless Titan Runes flickered, flames and thunder gathered on the spear, looking like dancing furious dragons.
With one spear thrust, nine dragons roared.
If hit by this spear, even Richard would have half of his body shattered.
However, the Dimensional Incarnation did not see a trace of emotion on Richard’s face, as if this thrust was not aimed at him.
The brass spear suddenly paused, at the tip of the spear, a layer of chain firmly blocked the spear’s path forward.
The Dimensional Incarnation was slightly stunned seeing this.
This strike could pierce through even a miniature world, how could this chain block the spear’s path?
But the fact was before him, leaving the Dimensional Incarnation no choice but to believe. At this moment of his slight distraction, Richard’s hammer had already swung over again.
This time, the hammer aimed precisely at the nearly pierced groove on the shield.
The Dimensional Incarnation’s brass shield was directly penetrated by the heavy hammer, the black hammerhead shattering an arm of the Dimensional Incarnation.
The Dimensional Incarnation exclaimed, his figure suddenly fracturing, and then reconstituting several thousand kilometers away. After reconstitution, his body had recovered from the hammer’s damage.
"I didn’t expect you to have such treasures, an offensive and defensive set of weapons, quite complete."
Richard looked at the Dimensional Incarnation’s body, slightly raising his eyebrows.
"How exactly do I win?"
He suddenly realized that trying to kill the Dimensional Incarnation within the dimension was an impossible task.
But if he couldn’t kill, wouldn’t that mean he could never win against the Dimensional Incarnation?
"To defeat me is very simple."
The Dimensional Incarnation drew a line across his chest, taking out a stone covered with golden crystals.
"As long as you shatter this object, I will lose..."
Before the Dimensional Incarnation finished speaking, a crimson lightning bolt flew straight towards the golden crystal.
The power of the lightning was so strong, it reached the energy level of a billion!
The Dimensional Incarnation’s form shifted slightly, a barrier just enough to block the lightning. This lightning, sufficient to split a miniature world, was unexpectedly blocked intact by the barrier.
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing that the Dimensional Incarnation’s barrier was a very profound rule application.
This application requires extremely deep knowledge of Shaping Power.
"Exactly how much can you use?" Richard asked.
The Dimensional Incarnation replied honestly: "All of it."
Richard scratched his head, showing a trace of frustration.
Within the Titan Dimension, records of all the skills of the Shepherd Star Titans’ sages since becoming a civilization were kept.
And now, the Dimensional Incarnation said to use everything, which meant Richard wasn’t fighting against just one Dominator, but against nearly all the sage Dominators in the history of Shepherd Star Titans.
This was not an easy challenge.
Richard gripped the warhammer in his hand tightly, his eyes suddenly filled with determined fighting spirit. Under this fighting spirit, every cell in his body cheered joyfully.
An Abyss Titan is also an Abyss Creature, the combative nature in Abyss Creatures is something Richard also possesses.
Only this impulse was usually suppressed by Richard’s rationality.
Richard looked towards the Dimensional Incarnation, the Shan Hai on his body wrapped around him as if it were alive, transforming into a piece of chain armor.
He raised the warhammer in his hand and said softly: "Let me see how strong the Titan sages truly are."
No one in this era can say for sure how many Dominators there have been in the history of Shepherd Star Titans.
Even the King of Titans can only give a rough approximation.
During the tense periods of that war, there were many instances of battlefield breakthroughs resulting in Dominators who then fell in war.
However, the number of Dominators with skills possessed by the Dimensional Incarnation is confirmed — one hundred.
The Dimensional Incarnation can use the skills of a hundred Titan Dominators and seamlessly switch between them, integrating them perfectly.
And for Richard to want to challenge the Dimensional Incarnation, it’s equivalent to defeating a hundred Dominators.
Furnace Man Dimension.
The Warhammer in the hands of the Dimensional Incarnation swung down, the frenzied power on its hammer head enough to shatter a small world.
This was a move by a Titan Dominator titled as Mountain Mover, known for his sheer strength, much admired by the King of Titans. This boundary-breaking strike is rumored to be a move taught by the King of Titans himself.
Undoubtedly, this strike is enough to penetrate the defenses of Shan Hai.
But Richard did not dodge or evade; he merely swung his warhammer silently, smashing it toward the body of the Dimensional Incarnation.
Injury for injury, that was Richard’s strategy.
His hammer was heavier than the Dimensional Incarnation’s, with more strength, and he had the protection of Shan Hai. Even in an injury-for-injury exchange, he would come out on top.
The Dimensional Incarnation realized Richard’s intentions but had no intention of changing.
On its body, a thick layer of black crystal suddenly grew, on which complex Titan Runes sparkled like stars.
This was a skill of a Titan Dominator titled Stargazer, who excelled in rune inscription to the point where it became instinctual; it is said that he once forged a spear capable of slaying a Dominator from battlefield debris and killed an aide of a Civilization Devourer.
Richard did the same without changing movement, but within his warhammer, the world rules left by the Great Elder began spinning rapidly.
Instantly, a layer of crimson flames ignited on the warhammer.
The two colossal figures retreated simultaneously.
Richard’s left shoulder blade shattered, turning into a mass of flesh pulp, dragging along with it. Moreover, a death energy that hindered corporeal regeneration was uncontrollably spreading in the wound, continuously converting Richard’s Life Energy, further exacerbating the injury.
On the other hand, the Dimensional Incarnation’s injury was even more miserable. The flames on Richard’s warhammer, with strong demon-breaking properties, broke the enchantment on contact.
The heavy blow instantly shattered half of the Dimensional Incarnation’s body.
But it was not enough.
The Dimensional Incarnation’s body instantly reverted to its original state, as did Richard’s injuries.
In battles between equally matched Dominators, time is often measured in years.
The weapon in the Dimensional Incarnation’s hand changed, sometimes a spear, sometimes a hammer, and occasionally a long knife or sword. Each weapon change represented a Dominator’s ultimate skill reappearing in the world.
"Star Shattering Thrust."
The Dimensional Incarnation uttered the name of the move, and the spear in its hand struck Richard before the words were completely said.
The defenses of Shan Hai cracked, and the spear’s power instantly punctured Richard’s body.
Richard wielded his warhammer to continually fend off the attacks from the Dimensional Incarnation.
At this moment, he had abandoned offense; he realized that to win, he had to decipher most of the Dimensional Incarnation’s moves. This update is available on novel⟡fire.net
And attacking would only waste his time.
All four of Richard’s eyes opened wide, solely to record and analyze each blow from the Dimensional Incarnation.
Richard might not be able to decode a Dominator’s skill in a single confrontation, but with enough time and instances, he could certainly find the weaknesses in these moves!
Analyze, decipher, then learn.
This is the habit of the Wizard, the foundation for the Wizard to stand in this ruthless starry sky.
The Dimensional Incarnation’s weapon swung continuously, and the number of moves used increased exponentially.
Amidst this tide-like onslaught, Richard’s body gradually weakened. His abdomen was penetrated, chest bone plate nearly exposed, and a crack appeared on his head, revealing part of his brain.
In battle, often his wounds hadn’t healed before new ones appeared.
However, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
The fight lasted very long, possibly months or years, and Richard felt nothing of it.
His soul was almost boiling in this battle, tides of information flowed ceaselessly into his soul. The skills acquired from the Ghost Craftsman allowed Richard to analyze the moves rapidly, and the numerous moves of the Dimensional Incarnation inversely deepened Richard’s understanding of the rules, thereby further speeding up his analysis.
Before this, Richard never felt his skills were so formidable.
Richard possesses the richest potential in this world community; with a certain level of pressure, he can burst forth astonishing power!
The nearly skeletal Richard suddenly swung the warhammer.
This swing seemed unremarkable; neither its power nor speed was exceptional.
However, this swing easily penetrated all the defenses of the Dimensional Incarnation, precisely striking its chest.
A crisp cracking sound entered the ears of both combatants.
The weapon in the Dimensional Incarnation’s hand suddenly dissipated, and the organized attack transformed into a Healing Technique that fell onto Richard.
Within its chest, the stone covered with golden crystals shattered into a heap of fragments.
Richard retracted the warhammer, his gaze fixed on the Dimensional Incarnation.
Behind the Dimensional Incarnation, he seemed to see a hundred colossal figures ceremoniously bow to him.
