Even in the midst of battle, Lucas still took a moment to open his panel and glance at his talents.
[Energy Absorption: Can absorb any energy and convert it into points.]
Any energy.
Not just dimensional energy, but also physical energy and various other strange and wondrous energies.
It was just that, due to the relatively slow efficiency and speed of energy conversion into points, Lucas usually preferred to absorb dimensional energy.
But in battle, he was not particular. He absorbed whatever energy was available.
Taking advantage of Chthon's momentary distraction, Lucas transformed into a white stream and charged towards him.
Although physical energy could also be absorbed, its conversion efficiency was far inferior to dimensional energy.
Chthon consumed dimensional energy to maintain his force field, while Lucas absorbed physical energy from the force field.
It was a net loss for Lucas.
'Chthon, you bastard! Wasting all that precious dimensional energy.'
Lucas cursed inwardly, his speed increasing by a little. At this moment, he selectively forgot that the Flickering Realm was not his.
"Chthon is no match for Lucas. Is another Elder God about to perish?"
"I have witnessed the demise of thousands of Universes, but the fall of an Elder God, after the War of the Elder Gods, I have never seen."
"Over countless years, across countless Universes, innumerable talented prodigies, some researched magic, others delved into technology. But most of them stopped at—"
Uatu, the Watcher, seeing that Chthon was helpless against Lucas and was being chased and beaten by him, couldn't help but voice his thoughts.
"Uatu, shut up! Chthon isn't that easy to kill. You're slandering him in his Flickering Realm. It's fine if you seek death yourself, but don't drag us down with you."
This time, the other four Watchers accompanying him couldn't stop Uatu in time.
Because they too were lost in thought.
And slandering someone behind their back always comes with a price.
"I didn't expect there to be five bugs hidden in my Flickering Realm. One of them even dared to defame me."
As Chthon's voice sounded, the starlight beneath the Watchers' feet flared, and terrifying surges of energy erupted from deep within the planet's core.
Rumble!!!
The ground was torn apart, and beams of energy burst forth, shooting skyward, then turning in mid-air and hurtling towards the Watchers.
Additionally, several planets near this one also flickered with light, and vaguely, these planets seemed to be moving towards the Watchers' location.
"It's all your fault, Uatu."
"Stop talking, let's run."
The five Watchers, while each employing their abilities to resist Chthon's energy attacks, simultaneously inscribed runes, attempting to open a portal from the Flickering Realm to the outside world.
Normally, the Flickering Realm was always in an open state, allowing free entry and exit. But today was different.
To fight Lucas, Chthon had connected all the planets and continents within the Flickering Realm, raising his control over the Flickering Realm to its highest point.
In this situation, trying to leave the Flickering Realm directly with a single portal was nothing short of a fool's dream.
Of course, the Watchers dared to come to the Flickering Realm to spy on the battle between Lucas and Chthon, naturally relying on their own means to escape the Flickering Realm after being discovered by Chthon.
It just required time, and what they lacked most right now was time.
"Die, bugs!"
The surrounding planets arrived, bringing several times more energy beams to attack the Watchers.
Caught off guard, one Watcher was hit by a concentrated barrage of energy beams, his body gradually disintegrating under the continuous attack of a purple-black energy beam, completely vanishing into the void.
Another Watcher, while dodging energy beams, didn't pay attention to his feet and was swallowed whole by a large mouth that suddenly burst from the ground. After that, there was no more sound.
Chthon laughed heartily.
He wanted to vent all the frustration he had endured during his battle with Lucas.
After the death of two companions, one Watcher finally opened a portal to escape the Flickering Realm.
This Watcher was Uatu, the talkative one.
"You talkative, gossiping bug who likes to badmouth people behind their back, you're not dead yet? You wouldn't think you can escape, would you?"
As Chthon's curses fell, Uatu's eyeballs suddenly bulged. He stared at the already open portal, at this escape route so close at hand, unable to move.
He could only let out one last, unwilling shout.
"No!"
Bang!
A muffled sound echoed.
Uatu's body seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, instantly exploding into a cloud of blood mist.
The blood mist scattered, exploding again in the air, and finally completely dissipated.
Just as Uatu was about to escape the Flickering Realm, Chthon activated the magic array he was using to deal with Lucas, applying that terrifying pressure to Uatu.
Seizing this opportunity, Lucas once again entangled Chthon, attempting to bite off a chunk of his energy.
"Lucas, you can't do anything to me! When your energy is exhausted, that will be the day of your demise! The victor of this battle will only be me!"
Chthon's words were unyielding, but his body was very honest, fighting and retreating.
And he secretly twisted the space-time around him and Lucas, transmitting false images to mislead the two Watchers who were still alive and fleeing in panic.
Even though these two Watchers were fleeing for their lives and in mortal danger, they still did not forget to pay attention to the battle between Lucas and Chthon.
It was as if this mission of observing and recording major events in the Multiverse was more important than their lives.
But it was only 'as if'.
If the portal were open, they would escape the Flickering Realm immediately.
Was Chthon trying to conceal his predicament?
Noticing Chthon's abnormality, Lucas made a probing move.
A luminous white stream of light shot out, carrying information towards the surviving Watchers.
This information was a video, a video of Chthon fighting and retreating.
Seeing this, Chthon quickly moved to intercept it.
"The great God of Chaos, whose glory has spanned countless ages and whose legends are spread throughout the Multiverse, still cares about such superficial fame." Lucas stopped his attack and spoke mockingly.
He seemed to have found a small flaw in Chthon.
"Chthon, you wouldn't want anyone to know that you don't keep your word, would you?"
"Heh."
Chthon sneered, "For demons, that is a virtue. And I am a demon among demons."
This trick didn't work?
No, the direction of attack was wrong.
With a shift in thought, Lucas knew this battle could come to an end. He unhurriedly donned his magic robe and conjured a sphere in his hand.
Inside the sphere was the video of Chthon fighting and retreating.
"Chthon, you wouldn't want anyone to see your figure being chased and made to flee by a disciple of the Vishanti, would you?"
