Chapter 352: A Friendly Negotiation between Demi-Gods... Part-3.
?
[Absolute Rule: "Create a separate space!"]
Idri used his world authority and created a massive separation barrier in the space-time fabric, thus separating the area within a radius of ten kilometers near the temple.
This way, the rest of the dragon valley will remain unaffected by the fight between the two giants.
Moreover, he sent a message using telepathy to the other SS-rankers to create their own barriers; this is the reason why none of the students felt anything strange in the mana during the evaluation test.
The SS-rankers had already isted everything, and due to that, the students never saw the fight between the two demi-gods.
Even Link, who was so close in the vicinity, didn''t sense it, as a separate barrier was ced on the temple.
For SS-rankers, creating barriers that can iste small spaces of the world is a very easy task; they don''t even need mana for it; just use the world authority and create one easily.
And tobat or counter someone''s world authority, you only have two methods.
The simplest method is to just deploy your own world authority, which should be at the same ''level'' or higher level than the opponent; if it''s lower, you can only resist the other party''s authority but can''t counter it.
The other and more effective method is to simply have a ''Legendary Skill'' in your arsenal before fighting a Demi-god.
But this method is very difficult.
The number of people who have legendary skills in this world can be counted on the fingers of two hands.
Just awakening a ''legendary skill'' is already a very challenging matter; not even SS-rankers have a guarantee over it; it usually depends on various conditions and mostly on luck.
Unlike Rio, who has insanely high sword aptitude, others awaken their legendary skills by fulfilling various conditions. (Rio''s sword aptitude is ''X'' rank after all; it has no limits...)
Neo''s world authority is a slightly weaker version of a ''Perfect Mana Field''; in other words, it gives him an insane boost in mana.
His authority can help him do almost everything that the legendary skill ''Mana Field'' can do. [World Authority: Mana Flow: Flow Diversion!]
Neo once again used his authority to direct all the mana in the separated space time towards himself.
Idri has separated the space-time and confined them both in this small area, so the mana will eventually run out in the surrounding area, and things may get unfavorable for Neo.
And as Neo''s world authority level is much lower than Idri''s, he has no choice but to be more tricky.
He diverted the flow of mana towards himself; this way, no matter if he runs out of mana or not, the flow of mana will be on his side, and he can just absorb the mana from the surroundings.
In other words, Neo has a massive supply of mana; he can keep summoning like crazy, which is why they say he is a one-man army.
Don''t underestimate those mutated space ogres he summoned just because they were killed with a single punch from Idri.
Those are all equal to S-rankers in power! And Neo can summon thousands of them in one go! As they say.
{Everyone below the demi-god realm is just an ant.}
All SS-rankers are walking disasters; the gap between an S-ranker and an SS-ranker is just as big as the gap between a newborn baby''s power and a peak S-ranker''s power.
They are people frompletely different leagues.
[Golden Dragon Martial Art: Thousand Leaves of Rupture!]
Idri took his stance in the air and punched a thousand times in empty space. His punches directly cracked the space-time fabric, and the cracks spread everywhere like spider webs.
Massive shockwaves spread in the space-time fabric itself.
The spatial cracks directly turned the tens of thousands of monsters in Neo''s army into nothingness in a matter of milliseconds.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
But Neo didn''t care about their lives or deaths, even one bit.
[Summon: Stabilizing Space Worm!]
He waved his hand, and thousands of magic circles appeared in the sky and summoned weird- looking worms.
The moment those worms entered the battle field, the space stabilized extremely fast, and the spatial cracks were forcefully closed instantly.
These space-stabilizing worms have the function of stabilizing and solidifying the space- time fabric in a specific area.
Neo keeps a lot of them in his arsenal just in case he has to fight Ashtel someday. After all, Ashtel''s one of the strongest moves is to shatter the space-time fabric or create massively strong shockwaves in the space-time fabric.
Although shattering the space-time fabric is something only peak SS-rankers use inbat, Neo has always liked to prepare counters for everyone.
He already has enough counters for even Raji and Jin''s world authorities; that phoenix is one of the main counters for Raji''s frost abilities.
[Phoenix 451: Self-destruction!]
No one knows how many beasts Neo keeps in his arsenal or how he is able to feed so many beasts at one time; not a single SS-rank summoner in the world is able to summon such an insane number of beasts except for Neo.
He has so many of them that he can put several nations'' entire armies to shame.
[Absolute Rule: "I am immune to heat."]
The massive phoenix, which was already a pseudo-SS ranker itself, self-destructed, and a gigantic explosion happened in the confined area.
Even thou the space-time barrier created by Idri trembled from that massive explosion, it was thousands of times more powerful than the strongest mana-powered nuclear bomb ever
created by humans.
Even though Idri used his authority to make himself immune, the power from the self- destruction of a pseudo-SS ranker is nothing to joke about; it''s enhanced by a massive life source, and thus it''s as strong as a full power move from a peak SS ranker.
Even Idri got a few scratches from tanking that.
The explosion created another massive crack in the space-time fabric, and nearly all of Neo''s summoned beasts died in that explosion. The coteral damage was insanely high.
"All that for just a few scratches? What are you trying to achieve with this Neo-Aldif? You know that you can''t really win this fight, right?"
[Absolute Rule: "Summon Neutron Star"]
The space-time fabric trembled like crazy as Idri raised his hand towards the sky and summoned a neutron star the size of a ten-story building.
The gravity of that thing was so insane that all the spatial worms that Neo had deployed died on the spot trying to stabilize the space, and even Neo could feel the pressure from that thing.
"Last warning, Neo Aldif, stop messing around in my home or... your friend Ashtel will have to raise your children as you will be erased from this world..."
The pressure increased to an insane level; if Idri had summoned this neutron star when there was no space-time barrier, then the whole dragon valley would have been destroyed by its
gravity alone.
Aside from the SS rankers, none would have survived.
The alliance forbids SS-rankers from engaging inbat close to Earth due to the potential
danger they pose to the entire.
Smashing a to bits is just child''s y for these demi-god-like beings, after all.
Seeing that massive Neutron Star spinning at an insane speed while rupturing the space-time
fabric around it from time to time, Neo finally calmed down a bit.
The battle-crazed look on his face finally disappeared, and he shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, I haven''t tanked something like that before... but... let''s try it!! COME!!!
AHAHAHAHA!"
[Summon: Gluttonous Behemoth!]
A gigantic abomination with a weird and twisted body was summoned; just looking at its
body would give people chills.
A twisted human-like body with thirteen legs, ten hands, and a wide, open mouth. The whole thing looked like an eldritch horror kind of beast, and when Idri finallyunched
the neutron star at Neo, that eldritch horror rushed ahead with its mouth wide open to eat the
blue-colored neutron star.
The result was a massive explosion.
The moment the neutron star touched the tongue of that beast, it exploded.
An explosion that ruptured the space-time fabric happened. That explosion not only killed
the giant beast on the spot, it even injured Neo; one of his arms was directly destroyed while
trying to cast barriers to defend.
Bright light spread everywhere, making everything seem white and extremely bright.
The explosion''s intensity caused Idri to sustain minor injuries and scorch the entire skin on
his right side.
It took a few seconds for the two SS-rankers to finallye to their senses after tanking that massive attack.
[Absolute Rule: "My mana will heal me!"]
Idri used his mana to heal himself, and Neo also summoned a few healing-type beasts to heal
his arm, which was bleeding like crazy.
Neo and Idri both calmed down after getting hit by that massive attack, and the fight finally
ended.
Idri deactivated the space-time barriers, and the two of them quietly went back to the rooftop of the dragon temple.
While getting his arm healed by the summoned beasts, Neo smiled at Idri and said,
"haha, as expected of you, Dragon King, you are quite strong; I think you are slightly stronger
than Ashtel in my opinion... I am impressed; this is the first time I have seen someone stronger than Ashtel..."
"You didn''t even go all out and beat one of my strongest summoned beasts... It seems I lost in
this game of friendly negotiations..."
Idri sneered at Neo''s words and replied in a cold voice.
"Tch, if not for the fact that this is inside ''Dragon Valley'' and I don''t want this ce to get harmed, I would have really killed you right here, Neo Aldif..."
"No one has ever had the nerve to piss me off as much as you... Consider yourself fortunate
that the residents of the Dragon Valley have saved your life today..."

Author''s Notes.
Yo! It''s your beloved author here!
It seems the way two SS-rankers negotiate with each other is by smashing the space-time
fabric, killing thousands of innocent beasts, and breaking each other''s bones.
Question of the day:.
Don''t you think that SS-rankers are a bit too overpowered?
(Tell me your thoughts in thements)
By the way, don''t forget to use those power stones!!
