[Maximum Damage Capacity has been reached, activating berserk mode.]

[Mission: Annihilate all targets...]

A mechanical voice reverberated out of the Chimera's body as the azure light that it emanated promptly turned crimson. Hissing sounds of hydraulics followed suit as dozens of armor further reinforced the Chimera's body. On its paws, six metal claws protruded out, increasing its deadliness.

Furthermore, the suffocating pressure from the Chimera had disappeared, replaced by nothing but void. However, such an occurrence didn't instill happiness to the three.

They knew in their hearts that once someone had successfully returned their cultivation bases to nothingness and reached the state of void, they would be virtually undetectable like the current Chimera's state.

Words were useless for a single sight alone indicated the severity of the situation. Igniting their cultivation methods and rotating their cultivation bases to the maximum. Sparks flew and resonating crashes of thunder rang out as the temperature dropped.

All three unleashed their skills without restraint as Dan dashed towards the Chimera's abdomen and sent dozens of resounding strikes to its metal flesh. Sword and numerous dagger lights flashed across the Chimera's body without stopping yet not a single one of them managed to penetrate its body.

"Dark and Ice Resonance!"

"Young Lightning!"

"Chain Lightning!"

Dan, Natalie and Grace unloaded their respective techniques towards the Chimera. Blaring red lights momentarily flashed on its body as the damaged that it sustained from the combination attack of the three penetrated its defenses.

"Shrieeek!"

A harsh shriek that didn't resemble any living being under the heavens. Staring at the s.h.i.+vering figure of the Chimera, Dan, Natalie and Grace realized that their combination attack worked against it. Brandis.h.i.+ng everything that they had, countless lightning bolts and Ice wantonly danced in the air and battered the Chimera.

"d.a.m.n it, this won't work! If we keep on doing this, we will soon run out of Spiritual Energy!" Dan warned. Natalie and Grace turned solemn, the Spiritual Energy contained within their dantian had reduced to at least a fourth after those two simultaneous attacks.

"Dan, when you wished for this world, did you also wish for something so ridiculous like that b.a.s.t.a.r.d?" Grace couldn't help but intervene at the side as she turned to look at Dan with a bitter smile on her face. Natalie also had the same expression.

Scratching his head, Dan t.i.tled his body aside and avoided the Chimera's las.h.i.+ng attack before replying with the same bitter smile, "I don't know for sure... All I know is that the world that I have imagined is definitely so ridiculous that something like that Chimera would definitely exist..."

Grace could only shook her head as she deflected an incoming attack from the Chimera. Natalie who sent her Soft Sword las.h.i.+ng at the enemy, turned to look at Dan and asked, "Now that I think about it, dear... Since this world has been your creation... Then you should know about how we can kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d..."

"Yeah, I definitely know the way. Within that Chimera's body is a core that once shattered would ultimately cause its death. Unfortunately, we must first penetrate through its reinforced body before we could get to that core and destroy it..."

Dan's bitter smile intensified. However, his two wives realized that though his smile looked bitter. The light of determination and excitement within his eyes had never decreased despite the hopelessness of the situation.

Was he just making light of the situation or was he seriously considering their current status quo as something that shouldn't be taken seriously? They thought in their minds.

Of course, how could Dan not feel any excitement? Defeating that Chimera meant bountiful rewards that would definitely help him towards his journey for the peak. Turning to look at Grace and Natalie, he said.

"Let's stop talking now. The most that we could do is stall for time and wait until that b.a.s.t.a.r.d exhausts his energy so we can land a decisive strike..." Dan commanded and both women nodded their heads in confirmation and understanding.

Something as huge and as complex as that Chimera should require vast amounts of energy to operate. One could imagine the energy expenditure that it used in every breath that it operated. Soaring through the skies, all three unleashed their everything once again.

Revealing his SCAR-L. Dan unloaded magazines after magazines of reinforced bullets at the Chimera's body. The already deadly bullets became even deadlier when enveloped with his Spiritual Energy. Hurling several Grenades, consecutive deafening roars that trembled the air resonated.

Heaven and Earth shook as the Chimera shrieked in pain, the lights that surrounded its body blinked fast, as the hissing sounds of hydraulics rang out once again. Its giant head turned to look at Dan and a mechanical voice echoed out.

[Targets a.s.sessment Completed, Target One has been declared as the highest priority target.]

[Annihilation Procedure has started.]

The mechanical voice that didn't sound male nor female declared Dan's death sentence as the latter's eyes widened in shock. The towering Chimera right before his eyes had disappeared and reappeared behind him. With a whistling sound of air being torn, its tail slapped on Dan's body as the cries of Natalie and Grace rang out.

"Dan!"

They all screamed and flew towards his direction while sending concentrated beams of Lightning and Ice towards the Chimera, staggering it back.

There, still floating at his initial location was Dan who wiped the sweat that collected on his forehead. Remembering the scene where he almost died. Cold sweat filled his back as he thought, d.a.m.n if I didn't activate [Flicker] on time then that would've been my end... His dread intensified when he saw the crater formed from the Chimera's attack.

Judging from the traces of Spiritual Energy that lingered within the crater, Dan predicted that not even a peak Divine Soul expert could survive the Chimera's attack. Gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth, he decided that enough was enough. It was time for him to use his cheat, the a.s.sa.s.sination System.

"System! Simulate the target's weakpoints and display it in a HUD with appropriate labeling depending on how durable that certain weak point is!"

Dan hissed out a complex command and the System didn't reject his request as it replied.

[System Functions Initiating with the factors included.]

[System Functions Initiated!]

[The host's request has been successfully completed, please don't die...]

Dan lightly chuckled upon seeing the last part of the System notifications as he thought about how human-like the System could act in certain situations. Shaking his head, he threw all distracting thoughts away and stared at the Chimera.

Within his vision, numerous red dots floated in the air and tagged the Chimera's body. Some of the red dots looked as large as someone's palm while some of it looked as huge as a plate. The biggest of them all was the dot at the center of its chest that was huge enough that it almost covered the entire chest.

"Natalie, Grace! Both of you, focus your attacks on its chest! That's where the core is located and we need to penetrate it so that we can destroy that f.u.c.king core!" Dan violently cursed and ignited his cultivation method.

Grace and Natalie who kept on flying around, dodging the Chimera's attack nodded their heads and sent their attacks at the Chimera's chest. In response, the Chimera folded its wings in front of its chest, an action that it never did before.

"Jackpot! Since the Chimera is instinctively protecting that area, that's definitely its strongest weak spot!"

Azure Lightning madly danced around Dan's body and formed the image of a dragon that opened its mouth wide. Sweeping through the air, it flew majestically at the Chimera's chest as Natalie and Grace forced its wings away with their attacks.

As a result, the Dragon struck it squarely as a miserable shriek that almost shattered their eardrums echoed out from the Chimera's body. Retreating and taking a breather, all three glanced at each other and saw the exhaustion within their faces. Smiling, Dan turned to look at the Chimera and saw that a fist-size hole had opened up at its chest.

"Roaaaar!"

The Chimera's body suddenly exploded with the resplendent lights of, azure, orange, green, and grey. Forming a whirlwind around its body, it dashed at the three, defying all logic as it carried its gigantic tail and slapped at their direction.

Dan activated [Flicker] while both of his wives did their best in dodging the Chimera's attack. Thankfully, its size didn't let it attack as swiftly as it should be. However, the wind and the shockwave that appeared from its attack still managed to injure all three of them as blood splattered from their mouth towards the ground.

The Chimera flapped its wings and sent a gale of wind towards their direction as a follow-up attack towards Natalie and Grace. Seeing the vulnerable state of his wives. Anger flashed through Dan's face as he hurriedly disappeared towards their direction and clashed against that gale of wind, forcibly vanquis.h.i.+ng it through brute force.

"Are the three of you, okay? Hurry up and pop these pills into your mouth, don't hold back!"

Dan hurled several jade bottles towards Natalie and Grace's direction. The two women didn't express their needless grat.i.tude. Capturing the bottles, their eyes widened in shock when they saw the contents.

"Potential Combusting Pills? Dan, are you serious about this? Once we use these pills, that is tantamount to burning most of our potential for the sake of short-lived power..."

Grace couldn't suppress the trembling in her voice as she stared sternly at Dan's direction. Potential Combusting Pills exchanged a cultivator's potential for temporary power to overcome their enemies. It was also a double-edged sword, once used, the cultivator's potential or in other words, blood essences would dry up in exchange of that power.

Without sufficient blood essences to aid in their breakthrough, those who consumed the pill were bound to stay at the same realm until the end of their lifespan. Both their figures couldn't help but tremble upon the ultimatum that Dan bestowed upon them.

"Worry about the consequences later when we survive this problem... For now, all that we have to do is to kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, claim our rewards and return to the real world..."

Dan smirked, his smile told them everything that they wanted to know.

"So you're betting on the chance that we're not in a real world but a virtual world? I thought that you didn't have that notion in your mind..." Grace lightly chuckled and Natalie felt relieved. If they were in a virtual world then they could do whatever that they wanted without thinking of the consequences.

All three stared at each other for a moment as Dan reminded, "Remember to focus your attacks at the center of its chest, if it tries to protect its chest using its wings, break it away!" Laughing, Dan popped a Potential Combusting Pill into his mouth and at that instant, his body visibly bulged.

Veins bulged on his temples and his arms doubled in size, the exhausted Spiritual Energy within his body blossomed with strength as the blood essences located within his heart vein simultaneously burned with their final brilliance. Bestowing strength that Dan required for his success.

Roaring towards the skies, s.p.a.ce itself shattered as rocks underneath his feet turned into dust. The Chimera that treated him as the highest priority target stiffened, its dim eyes flashed with red lights, rea.s.sessing Dan's strength as it observed and stared at its target.

Middle Stage Divine Soul Realm!

Late Stage Divine Soul Realm!

Peak Stage Divine Soul Realm!

Half-step Divine Ascendance Realm

In under ten breaths, Dan's cultivation base soared towards the Half-step Divine Ascendance Realm. The Lightning that enveloped his body dangerously turned crimson. At his side, Natalie and Grace also looked as menacing as him.

The only difference was that the Lightning covering Natalie's body didn't look crimson. Instead, it looked as dark as charcoal. At Grace's side on the other hand, the Lightning that surrounded her body transformed into a bluish color that looked as ethereal and dreamy as ice.

With solemn expressions, all three floated in the air and connected their hands. Lightly chanting, all three forcefully activated the Fifth Stance of the Blessing of the Lightning G.o.d.

"Blessing of the Lightning G.o.d, Fifth Stance: Lightning Beam of Annihilation..."

A soundless scream echoed out from the Chimera as an all-encompa.s.sing might engulfed its figure. s.p.a.ce shattered as Earth and Heaven trembled. The world lost all sound as the might that came from the three's combination attack overwhelmed the world that they were in, completely shattering it into nothingness.
