Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 894 - 56: The Time Has Come

Strike while the enemy is weak; take their life.

After Dark Crow's blade struck home, the Judge's abilities began to diminish drastically.

This once invincible foe now revealed numerous weaknesses.

Junlin and Tang Xian, like a pair of synchronized twin stars, simultaneously unleashed their most lethal attacks without needing coordination.

Junlin delivered the same ocean-conquering punch he had once used in battle against the Red Emperor! The winds of his fist roared across the square on the Holy Mountain, and the enormous mountain began to crack inch by inch. Tang Xian, too, wielded the Sea God's Trident to its fullest extent, driving it toward the Judge.

The ape creatures felt nothing but a wave of immense power surging forth—a terrifying storm capable of uprooting trees in its wake.

The combined strike of Junlin and Tang Xian was so overwhelming that the entire Holy Mountain shook violently. The laboratories within the mountain began to collapse one after another.

As their joint assault concluded, Dark Crow's countless ferocious cuts struck the Judge in succession. It could no longer evade them.

This battle to annihilate the Beast God hung upon mere moments.

In clashes between masters, victory is never about whose techniques are the strongest, but rather whose flaws are exposed first.

Every manner of debilitating negative status capable of altering the course of the fight continued to afflict the Judge.

The Judge felt the unimaginable sharpness of the Sea God's Trident, the sheer force of Junlin's punches, and watched as the masked boy with the bird-beak tirelessly swung his blade. It remained silent.

It was as if it had entered the twilight of its life, glimpsing the faces of many old acquaintances.

The Destroyer, the Master of Eden, the Sea God, the Lost Bird.

Tang Xian, indeed, did not fully inherit the Beast God's legacy, but he seemed to have other plans.

The Judge couldn't delve deeper into this; the current challenge was already a considerable predicament.

Junlin and Tang Xian's full-force strikes were astounding in scale, yet even they failed to kill the Judge.

Slow, stunned, poisoned, decayed, bleeding, confused—these negative states merely weakened the Judge but could not pose a true mortal threat.

Until Dark Crow finally deployed his ultimate technique.

"Supreme Transcendence Secret Art: Demon Breaking Unarmoring Technique!"

Even amidst the life-and-death struggle, Tang Xian couldn't help but think that declaring such moves was embarrassingly over-the-top.

Dark Crow, however, felt none of it. He was brimming with pride.

And truthfully, this move had every reason to be a source of pride.

After being slowed by the effects as well as Tang Xian and Junlin's heavy strikes, the Judge could no longer evade this cut.

The black blade sliced across the Judge's chest.

This seemingly light slash, in comparison to the overwhelming strikes from Tang Xian and Junlin, appeared feeble.

Yet it bestowed the Judge with the most lethal status—Armor Break.

The unimaginable defensive power of an apocalyptic creature vanished in an instant.

Tang Xian and Junlin couldn't sense this outcome directly, but observing the Judge's horrified expression, they realized Dark Crow had accomplished something extraordinary.

At the same time, sensing an overwhelming presence, Tang Xian and Junlin quickly dispersed.

Yuanwu resembled a sharpshooter, clutching his bleeding eye with one hand while using the other to unleash the power of the Mirror Eye again.

This was the true force capable of tearing through all—a fragmented, ruptured fate that channeled immense sorrow and wrath into an endless blade.

Even Junlin and Tang Xian, each with a foot halfway into transcending the apocalypse, could not compare to Yuanwu's sheer destructive power.

Everything they had done was merely preparation for Yuanwu's final kill.

Space twisted once again, and without its tremendous defensive power, even the Causality Domain could not compensate for the Judge's rapidly vanishing life force.

That gaze, potent enough to annihilate everything, sent the Beast God spiraling into the brink of death.

...

...

In the forbidden sanctuary of the Holy Mountain, the council members were gripped by panic.

For hundreds of years, the Holy Mountain had never suffered such upheaval.

Fear spread amongst the true court members of the judiciary.

They suddenly felt a deep unease, as if this regime was truly about to end.

Although they had been receiving numerous dismal reports in recent days, this wasn't the first instance of rebellion—even if it wasn't on this scale. So long as the Judge lived, the myriad beasts had always been mere opportunists.

But now it felt as though the Judge was genuinely on the verge of defeat.

The violent tremors seemed like physical manifestations of their terror.

The entire Holy Mountain was thrown into chaos.

Only the person in the deepest part of the forbidden sanctuary remained calm.

The true name of the man in the black robe was Gu Yin.

Once a painter, obsessed with creating and forecasting.

By modern standards, people would call him an ancient-era artist. He had lived far longer than mere centuries.

No matter how obsessed one might be with a passion, anyone who thinks deeply, possesses creativity, and lives long enough becomes both terrifying and respectable.

Gu Yin understood the history of the myriad beasts better than anyone; he also possessed knowledge about humanity's past.

Regarding the Beast Gods, myriad beasts, and humankind, there was little he didn't grasp.

Thus, Gu Yin knew full well that the Judge's fate was beyond the sway of these small interlopers who had invaded the Holy Mountain.

He continued to paint.

Before designing a beast, he would often first paint a depiction of it.

Simultaneously forecasting the beast's fate.

This had once been a favorite game between him and the Master of Eden.

Outside the sanctuary of Eden, releasing an unknown species to predict its evolutionary trajectory.

Over time, this practice granted Gu Yin extraordinary foresight and mastery over destiny.

To be sure, Gu Yin was innately intelligent. Otherwise, he could never have followed the Master of Eden to endure long epochs in another world.
