Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 818 Frog in the Well
"Esdeath, you cannot understand what I am pursuing. Everything I do is to create a more perfect world, a world that belongs only to me."

His words were full of confidence and arrogance.

"And you are just one of the remnants that are about to be eliminated from this world."

Then, Yhwach, at this moment, stood on the top of the broken temple, surrounded by ominous black fog, and every eye in his head flashed with complex light, showing both shock and unwillingness.

His words revealed awe of the unknown and a deep understanding of Esdeath's unimaginable power.

"I see! All the mysteries are finally revealed at this moment!"

Yhwach's voice echoed in the empty and shattered ruins of the Soul King's Inner Palace. His figure was tall and straight, like an unshakable black tower, and his whole body was wrapped in thick darkness. The "eyes" embedded in his head, flashing with faint light, were as deep as stars, and he was looking at Esdeath with an almost obsessive look.

These "eyes" are not only an extension of his vision, but also a symbol of his omniscience and omnipotence. However, when facing Esdeath, he felt powerless and confused for the first time.

"No wonder my omniscience and omnipotence, which I am so proud of, are useless in front of you. It turns out that you have already crossed the boundaries of mortals and stepped into the legendary realm of God."

There was both reluctance and relief in Youhabach's words. His voice was low and magnetic, with an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.

It took him a thousand years and countless hardships before he finally reached the mysterious threshold with the help of the Soul King's power. However, Esdeath seemed to stand there easily, which forced him to re-examine his pursuit and existence.

Although Youhabach claims to be omniscient and omnipotent, he is only in the world of death, so he cannot understand some of Esdeath's characteristics.

"Youhabach, your pursuit and your arrogance come from ignorance and are nothing but a dream in a narrow world. Your so-called omniscience and omnipotence are nothing but the fantasy of a frog in a well. I have already transcended these constraints and seen the true infinity."

Esdeath said with pity that Yhwach's vision could only see the world of the God of Death, but Esdeath, who had been to the main god space, had seen the heavens and the infinite universe, and knew how high the sky was.

As Esdeath finished her words, the air around her seemed to freeze, and even time seemed to stand still. Her spiritual pressure continued to rise, and the icy blue light became more and more dazzling, like the rising sun in winter, both beautiful and dangerous.

"Omniscient and omnipotent? That's just the arrogance of a frog in a well."

Esdeath sneered.

With a gentle wave of her arm, Esdeath pointed the tip of her sword precisely at Yhwach. At that moment, the entire Soul King Palace seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and began to tremble violently.

There was an extremely oppressive tension in the air, and even the void itself seemed to be making way for the sword that was about to show its true power.

"Let me tell you what true power is!"

"Shh!"

As Esdeath gently swung her sword, fine ice crystals suddenly condensed in the air. They swirled and danced like living things, and finally gathered into an unstoppable ice-blue torrent, rushing straight towards Yhwach.

This power transcends the limits of physics. It is the ultimate mystery released by Esdeath after her profound understanding of the law of ice - "Absolute Zero: Space-Time Slash".

It not only cuts through space, but also leaves unhealable cracks in the cracks of time, as if even the flow of time has stopped at this moment.

Yhwach, who possessed the power of "omniscience and omnipotence" that could rewrite fate and control the future, became the torrent of the Soul King's power after devouring the Soul King. Facing this sudden attack, he did not show the slightest panic. The Soul King's power surged like a torrent of black matter, attempting to resist this devastating blow.

However, Esdeath's power was too strong. Even the defense of the Soul King's power seemed shaky in the face of this force.

"Boom!" With a deafening sound, Yhwach's Soul King power shattered like fragile glass. His huge body was hit by the sword energy and he instantly lost his balance. Like a fallen leaf blown by a strong wind, he was ruthlessly thrown towards the barrier of the alien space.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everyone could feel the terrifying force that was enough to shake the heavens and earth and tear the void apart.

As Yhwach's figure broke through the space barrier, the endless void seemed to open its deep mouth and swallow everything.

And Yhwach, like a star that fell into the mortal world, with reluctance and anger, finally crashed into a desert in Soul Society.

In the desert, yellow sand filled the sky and dust rose up. The figure of Yhwach gradually appeared in the smoke and dust. Although his black robe was torn, his domineering aura was not diminished at all.

He stood up slowly, brushed off the non-existent dust, and his black and white eyes flickered.

Yhwach was surprised that Esdeath's power was indeed beyond his imagination, but this did not make him feel fear or despair. Instead, it aroused his deep desire and enthusiasm for conquest.

"Sure enough, you are stronger than I thought."

His voice was low and powerful, echoing over the desert, carrying a hint of imperceptible approval and admiration.

"But because of this, you are one of the last obstacles in my conquest of the world."

Yhwach continued, his tone full of determination and expectation.

In his view, a strong opponent is the best proof of his own strength and the source of motivation that drives him to move forward.

“As long as I defeat you, no one will be able to stop me. Whether it is the guardians of the Soul King Palace or the powerful men of Soul Society, they will all surrender to me, and the whole world will be bathed in my glory.”

Yhwach's words are full of infinite longing and ambition for the future, but he knows in his heart that to achieve this goal, he must overcome countless difficulties and obstacles, and Esdeath is the biggest obstacle he must overcome at present.

"What about the God King?"

Esdeath's voice suddenly appeared.

Yhwach's eyes instantly fixed on her figure.

"God King, humph, after I deal with you, I will go find him myself."

Yhwach slowly raised his hand that possessed the power of the Soul King. He had already devoured the Soul King's right hand and most of his torso. He flicked his fingertips lightly, and an indescribable wave suddenly surged in the air.

As his thoughts gathered, the spirit particles between heaven and earth seemed to be pulled by invisible ropes, gathering into huge arrows shining with dark light.
