"Why… why is he still standing?
Why can he still fight?!"
Im's heart was filled with confusion and anger.
She had already exerted all her strength, unleashing her powerful abilities to the limit, yet she was still unable to completely defeat Jin An.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, but the unease in her heart coiled like a venomous snake in the depths of her consciousness, gnawing at her confidence.
Just then, Jin An charged forward again, brandishing his blade.
His figure was like a gust of wind, his steps steady and swift, the blade flashing with a dazzling cold light in the sunlight.
That unwavering attack, that reckless killing intent, made Im's heart clench suddenly.
She instinctively waved her hand, and a dark barrier quickly condensed in front of her.
The blade struck the barrier, emitting an ear-piercing roar, the powerful impact shaking Im back repeatedly, plowing two deep furrows in the ground beneath her feet.
Her body trembled violently, and a crack appeared in the barrier as Jin An's blade pierced her defenses, leaving a deep wound on her arm.
"Impossible!"
Im roared, a hint of undisguised horror appearing on her face.
She stumbled back several steps, clutching the wound on her arm, blood gushing from between her fingers, staining her pure white sleeves red.
Jin An stood before her, his blade still dripping with her blood.
His face was devoid of expression, only coldness and determination.
His gaze was fixed on Im, as cold as the winter wind, causing her to feel a chill involuntarily.
"What's wrong, Im?
Is this all you've got?
Aren't you a god?
Aren't you a supreme controller?"
Im's expression became even more gloomy.
She endured the throbbing pain in her shoulder and arm, her eyes flashing with anger and unwillingness.
However, her heart began to waver—could she really lose?
She, the one who had ruled this world for hundreds of years, wielding boundless power, was actually being pushed to such a state by a mere mortal?
"No, I won't lose… I can't lose!"
Im roared in her heart, her hands clenched tightly, dark energy once again gathering in her palms.
But she discovered that the power that had once been omnipotent now seemed somewhat sluggish.
Her gaze involuntarily swept across the battlefield, seeing the rebel army, led by Jin An, with high morale, constantly pressing towards her.
Those beings she had once regarded as ants were now using their lives to create one opportunity after another for Jin An.
Even if they could not pose a direct threat to her, their determination was like an invisible sharp blade, piercing her pride and confidence.
"This is impossible… this shouldn't be happening…"
She repeated this sentence in her heart, her hands trembling slightly.
And Jin An did not give her any chance to breathe.
He charged again, the blade light flashing like lightning, heading straight for Im's vital points.
Im gritted her teeth and waved her hand to block the attack, but the enormous impact caused her arm to go numb again.
Her steps involuntarily retreated, her chest heaving violently, her stamina rapidly draining.
"Im, even you have reached your limit, haven't you?"
Jin An said coldly, his voice carrying a hint of undeniable determination.
"God? Just a slightly stronger mortal.
Today, I will let this world know that the so-called gods also bleed and die!"
Im's eyes narrowed sharply, that sentence exploding in her mind like thunder.
Her legs trembled slightly, and the fear in her heart finally began to spread.
"I… am I really going to lose?"
She clenched her teeth, the expression on her face changing from anger to complex struggle.
This time, Im's heart wavered.
Im stood in the center of the battlefield, the icy pressure that had been present now seemed to have disappeared completely.
Her eyes became increasingly bewildered, and anxious emotions churned in her heart.
Her movements began to become chaotic, and the dark attacks that had been precise and accurate now seemed somewhat random, no longer as accurate as before.
Her arm trembled slightly, and the dark energy in her fingertips lost its former balance.
She wanted to regain control of everything, but found that her power seemed to be no longer so easy to use.
With each wave, her heart swayed.
Jin An's gaze locked onto every detail of her like a hawk, his body wounded, but the determination in his heart did not waver.
Seeing Im's attacks becoming less and less precise, he felt a strange sense of excitement in his heart.
He understood that this was the moment to decide the outcome.
"Now, it's finally my turn to counterattack."
Jin An muttered to himself, his pace quickening involuntarily, the blade lightly brushing through the air, creating a sharp whistling sound.
Im hurriedly raised her hands, wanting to block Jin An's storm-like attacks.
However, her reaction was half a beat too slow, and Jin An's blade had already struck her shoulder.
That strike was not a fatal blow, but it was enough to jolt her body back a few steps, blood spilling from the wound, staining her robe.
"No…"
A trace of horror flashed in Im's eyes, her body as if struck by something heavy, almost unable to stand.
She gritted her teeth, waving her hands, and a huge black energy wave instantly rushed towards Jin An.
However, Jin An had already anticipated her movements, the tip of his blade speeding past, cutting through her dark barrier with lightning speed, pointing directly at her chest.
"This is… impossible!"
Im almost roared out, the fear in her eyes becoming more and more obvious.
She tried to wave her hands, wanting to gather her strength again, but the dark energy that had once been like a tsunami seemed to have lost her control, instead scurrying around in her body, causing her body to tremble involuntarily.
Jin An did not stop attacking at all, each of his strikes like a raging wave bursting from the tip of his blade, unstoppable.
Each slash seemed to be cutting Im's divinity, tearing apart the invincible myth she had once constructed.
"Even if you are a god, so what?"
Jin An's voice was low and firm, with an undeniable determination.
"You also have vulnerable moments, Im."
Im's body swayed, her eyes no longer as sharp as before, but full of confusion and bewilderment.
She began to feel that she had lost control, lost that absolute sense of control over the battlefield.
A hoarse voice sounded in her heart, as if a god who had lost faith was asking herself:
"Am I… really going to lose?"
Each step of Jin An was approaching, and each of her attacks could not change the outcome.
She felt a pressure she had never felt before, a sense of suffocation spreading from the bottom of her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Determination burned in Jin An's eyes, and each of his swings was swift and accurate, the blade as if carrying endless determination, pointing straight at her heart.
Im made one last attempt to counterattack, waving her arms, her dark power surging, like an out-of-control beast, but it seemed so slow and uncoordinated.
All that flashed in her eyes was powerlessness and fear, and no longer the sharpness of the past.
Jin An leaped with force, his whole body drawing an arc in the air, the blade flashing with cold light, slashing towards Im with irresistible force.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, a trace of unprecedented horror appearing in Im's eyes, she was no longer the god who could easily control everything, but an ordinary life, watching her fate about to come to an end.
The blade made contact with Im's body, the sharp blade penetrating her defenses like cutting paper, deeply embedded in her body.
Blood spurted out, staining her robe, her body suddenly slumped down, her hands no longer able to support her body, falling heavily to the ground.
Im's eyes gradually lost their luster, her body falling to the ground like a limp puppet, blood staining her robe, her once confident face now completely losing its former arrogance and pride.
Jin An stood before her, the blade trembling slightly, but still maintaining absolute control over the battlefield.
His breathing was rapid, although his body was extremely exhausted, the determination in his heart was like a rock, never wavering.
"You lost, Im."
Jin An whispered, his gaze cold, like the terminator who judged the gods.
