Chapter 57: No power was given, just all injuries were restored

Witnessing Kutula's enormous body gradually dissolving in the light until it completely turned into nothingness, Goroki's eyes flashed with incredible shock.

His face was frozen, as if time had stopped at this moment, and his heart was surging with unprecedented turmoil. In those deep pupils, there was not only surprise, but also a deep shock that the boundaries of unknown power had been broken.

All along, Goroki believed that he had a clear understanding and assessment of Nexus's power, but the scene before him completely overturned his prediction. If using gorgeous and brilliant light skills to defeat alien beasts was still within his understanding, then relying on a pair of bare fists and relying only on primitive and pure power to blast a giant beast like Kutula into pieces was far beyond his imagination, as incredible as a fairy tale.

Originally, Goroki secretly guessed in his heart that Nexus' counterattack was just a dying struggle, like the last ray of starlight in the night sky that was about to go out, it was just a sad drama of a last gasp.

But the reality gave him a resounding slap in the face, proving that all this was not false - Nexus not only did not weaken, but instead achieved a transformation, and truly leaped to a powerful realm that he could not even dream of.

This recognition, like a seed, quietly took root and sprouted in Goromu's heart, and gradually grew into a complex emotion - both envy of powerful strength and reluctance and regret for not being able to reach such a state.

These two emotions intertwined and entangled, forming a hidden and powerful vortex of negative energy that silently lingered in his heart.

Just at this moment, this wave of negative emotions formed by envy and unwillingness seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, flowing slowly, and was finally absorbed into Lin Chen, who was quietly observing everything on the side, without making a sound.

“It seems that this method is quite good.”

Lin Chen pondered secretly in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a slightly playful smile.

After a brief contact with the dark ocean deep in Goroki's soul, he seemed to have gained some unexpected benefits.

He discovered that Goroki, who was regarded as a messenger of darkness, carried in his heart negative emotions that were no less than those of those who seemed more pessimistic on the surface. In fact, he carried more negative emotions than those of others, like aged wine, rich and deep.

More importantly, Goroki is not an ordinary person, but one of the chosen fittest people who possess the power to transform into a mysterious warrior - Nexus.

If it weren't for the interference of the existence named Dark Zagi, with the hidden light in Goroki's body, he might have become Nexus faster than Himeya Jun.

Just as Lin Chen's thoughts were churning in his mind, an unignorable wave emanated faintly from Gorumu's body. It was a pure and wild breath of darkness, like boiling ink, spreading wantonly in the air.

This change clearly indicates that Goroki is about to unveil his true identity and transform into Mephistopheles.

"I want to see how powerful you are."

As he finished speaking, a dark energy that came from the abyss and seemed to be able to devour all light surged around Goromu's body. Suddenly, it exploded and turned into a vast and boundless black pillar of light, rising into the sky, pressing the surrounding air as if it were solidified.

In this swirling dark beam, a huge shadow with black and red intertwined can be vaguely seen slowly taking shape, like a dark giant in ancient legends, awakening from an ancient slumber.

His eyes flashed with a cold red light, revealing a majesty that could not be challenged. That was Mephisto.

He stood proudly in the void, slowly raised his giant dark fist, with a breath of destruction, pointing directly at Nexus.

Faced with this overwhelming malice, Nexus did not retreat at all. Wrapped in the light, his figure appeared even taller and more upright, sacred and inviolable.

He gently raised his palm which was surrounded by holy light. The light seemed to contain all the warmth and hope in the universe, ready to meet the coming impact of darkness.

The next moment, the two forces collided violently in the void, like two meteorites colliding in the night sky, releasing a deafening roar, but not sharp and piercing, but a dull and deep sound, as if even the space itself was trembling under this force. The two giants stood firm, like two unshakable mountains, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to surrender to them, but no one retreated a single step.

From this point of view, the power level of both of them seems to be the same.

But from a practical level, it is another matter.

Nexus only used a tiny bit of his strength.

However, this punch of Mephisto already contained half of his own strength.

"It's really unexpected that the power that mysterious figure gave me is so unfathomable..."

After Nexus fully mastered his newfound power, he felt an overwhelming surge of emotions and was so shocked that words could not express it.

He deeply felt that the power bestowed by Lin Chen was far beyond his imagination, as if he had opened up an endless treasure trove of energy.

But in fact, Lin Chen did not directly instill any substantial power into him.

All of this was just Lin Chen using his unfathomable methods to help Nexus repair and awaken the dormant potential in his body, bringing his physical condition back to its former peak.

Before this, Himeya Jun's body was covered with scars from long and intense battles. Those old wounds hidden beneath his skin were like shadows in the dark night, constantly restraining the release of his power.

Although his energy level was indeed increasing during the continuous battles, every struggle on the brink of life and death made his will stronger and his energy more surging.

But unfortunately, that body full of scars became a shackle that bound his true potential, preventing that vast ocean of power from fully bursting out.

Now, the strength displayed by Nexus is just the beginning, the tip of the iceberg that he should have but has never touched.

He was like an eagle illuminated by the morning light, just spreading its wings and not yet realizing his potential to soar into the sky.

However, his attack did not cause any fluctuations in Nexus, but instead made Mephisto even more angry.

My plan was about to succeed, how come the other party could suddenly be resurrected! ?
"I must obtain your light!"

Mephisto roared and threw out a dark light bullet.

Nexus raised his arm to block the light bullet, and the power of the light bullet continued to circle around his arm.

A large amount of light particles burst out, transforming the dark force into light force and then bouncing back.

It instantly hit Mephisto and knocked him to the ground.
