Chapter 101
As Sengoku and Zephyr unleashed their full power, combined with Garling Saint's coordination, Victor immediately felt the pressure.
"Hahaha, this is the feeling I was waiting for."
Victor had been waiting for this exact moment—using the pressure, he swiftly entered his blood-red state.
"Not good—he's going all out now."
Sengoku and Zephyr's hearts sank upon seeing this. Victor's power was now exploding upward—their battle pressure had just multiplied.
But even so, they felt no fear—their punches only became faster.
Garling Saint was also familiar with Victor's combat state. Seeing Victor suddenly change appearance, he knew Victor was about to go full force.
"Ahh—Victor!"
Garling Saint was extremely furious right now. It wasn't because he couldn't beat Victor—it was because Victor had rejected his invitation. This humiliated his immense pride, so he had to severely injure Victor in battle to wash away the shame.
But at this moment, he could clearly feel there was a gap between him and Victor. Even with Sengoku and Zephyr joining the fight, it might not be enough to achieve his goal.
No helping it—Victor's abilities were perfectly suited for group battles. Even if more people joined, Victor could keep fighting. Sometimes more participants aren't better—too many can just cause chaos.
"Hey, Garling Saint—what are you barking about?" "Don't others need to sleep? Even waking up cats and dogs is bad."
Victor taunted while rapidly slashing Divine Avoidance toward Garling Saint.
Garling Saint, hearing this, became furious from embarrassment and swung with full power to deflect Divine Avoidance. Then he immediately lunged toward Victor, coordinating with Sengoku's giant Buddha shockwave to constantly meet Victor's blade.
Meanwhile, Victor's unleashed Divine Avoidance once again destroyed a section of buildings, leaving the other God's Knights members helpless. So they had no choice but to act—dealing with the flying battle aftermath. Otherwise, Mary Geoise would be destroyed.
Facing the three-man siege, Victor felt a sense of déjà vu—like when he had surrounded Rocks before.
"Hahaha, so this is what being ganged up on by three feels like." "The pressure's pretty big. But Zephyr—your punches feel kinda weak."
Victor took the chance to mock Zephyr. Zephyr was the weakest of the three present, so Victor showed no mercy.
This taunt also served as a reminder. So Victor followed up by unleashing a Divine Avoidance toward Zephyr.
Zephyr was instantly sent flying. Fortunately, it wasn't a direct hit—otherwise he'd have suffered badly.
God's Knights members immediately cut through the lingering Divine Avoidance power and caught Zephyr. Then Zephyr leaped back into the fight—even the weakest among them was still extraordinarily strong.
"Victor—don't underestimate me!"
Zephyr, refusing to admit defeat, immediately counterattacked.
The three present were all searching for Victor's openings—ready to strike the moment they found one.
But Victor feared nothing more than a war of attrition—his internal food reserves were now being consumed in massive amounts.
Meanwhile, ordinary Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise were terrified and panicking. Even though they knew the God's Knights would protect them, the massive explosions from the prison area forced fear into their hearts.
The Five Elders, of course, knew a battle was happening in the Holy Land—but they didn't act. It wasn't that they didn't want to—it just wasn't necessary yet. Otherwise, what were the God's Knights and Navy for?
Right now, two Admirals—Sengoku and Zephyr—were already in the fight. Even if they couldn't win, they wouldn't lose—so they waited for the outcome.
In contrast, the Five Elders and God's Knights were the most stable—because of Im's existence, the Holy Land could never be destroyed.
The fires and massive sounds from Mary Geoise's battle directly affected Sabaody Archipelago. People curiously looked toward Mary Geoise.
"What's happening to Mary Geoise? Why are there explosion sounds?" "Mary Geoise isn't under attack, is it? Is the World Government dealing with intruders right now?" "No idea what's going on, but there's definitely chaos in Mary Geoise."
In an instant, people in Sabaody Archipelago came out to watch the spectacle.
Morgans also quickly received messages from his subordinates and immediately became exhilarated. So he ordered his team overnight to photograph the battle in Mary Geoise. He even demanded they capture the invader's face.
For them, this was no problem. They were just a bit far away—because they now knew who the main figure in the battle was.
"Victor? This big shot is wreaking havoc in Mary Geoise?" "Ho ho, perfect—more huge news!" "No—I have to give this big shot a resounding title. Can't just keep using his name."
Morgans became excited again. As battlefield photos came in, he immediately instructed the editors to start laying out the newspaper and rushed the printing press to produce it.
"Victor-sama keeps using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability—how about calling him Thunder God?" "I think that title feels pretty fitting."
Morgans thought about it and had the editors add this title. Then he looked at photos of Garling Saint, Sengoku, and Zephyr. Several news headlines came to mind.
"Thunder God Victor Storms Mary Geoise to Liberate Slaves" "Thunder God Victor Battles Three Top-Tier Powerhouses—All to Free the Holy Land's Slaves" ...
Meanwhile, Victor's battle had reached white-hot intensity. This fight brought Victor new gains—fierce battles were still the fastest way to grow stronger.
And he felt that after fighting half the night, it was time to leave. There was still a super powerhouse in Mary Geoise—he felt he wasn't her match yet. Most importantly, this battlefield was Mary Geoise.
They couldn't decide a winner anytime soon. If Victor stayed here fighting for ten days or more, he'd probably end up stuck in Mary Geoise.
So Victor decided to leave.
"Hahaha, that was satisfying! Let's end it here for now." "Garling Saint—next time I'll come find you for some swordsmanship sparring."
Victor finished, laughed loudly, and instantly turned into lightning and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
No one present could stop Victor—they could only watch helplessly as he left.
"Ahh—Victor! I'll tear you to pieces!"
Victor's parting words instantly made Garling Saint grind his teeth in rage.
Sengoku and Zephyr exchanged a glance—both saw relief in the other's eyes. But with Garling Saint present, they said nothing and remained silent.
