Chapter 430: The Appearance of a Game-Changer
Everyone knows that this battle decides the fate of the entire Sea King Port.
And when Gao Xin confidently declared victory, Sea King fell silent.
Sea King was confident at the beginning, but now he no longer refutes.
Because you never know until you fight, once you do, you're startled.
This is weirder than the freak he imagined!
Standing six hundred meters tall, with a throne, unable to suppress him due to sheer size, getting close is a death sentence.
Energy suppression doesn't work either; Gao Xin even reflected his ultimate skill equivalent to a thousand tons of TNT.
That was his strongest move on land.
The Dragon Level max energy power is one million TNT, with Atomic Breath fully refined to ten times the Super Boundary, that's one thousand tons TNT.
That's basically the strongest power of any Quasi-Dragon King... except for the top Three Kings.
And Gao Xin can do it too, meaning his learning of the Crimson Reverse Moon Slash from Yak makes him a solid T1 presence.
Even though Sea King is an experienced T1, he doesn't have the confidence to win.
He doesn't even dare rashly to use a killer move.
Because he's already realized that fighting Gao Xin, once he harbors murderous intent, it's when he's most vulnerable.
And Gao Xin, his ability to seize opportunities is terrifyingly absurd.
He seems able to see his own cognitive blind spots, gaining insight into ways he never considered to counterattack.
Even though he is stronger, holding the initiative, he can survive, and if he wants to leave, Gao Xin can't stop him.
But the situation doesn't allow him to stall indefinitely; after all, he's here not just to survive.
If he watches all his family die, why did he come? He might as well not have come at all, wait for news of their demise and then offer a memorial...
He's here with a mindset of sharing life and death with his family, survival has no meaning.
For a moment, he found himself in a dilemma.
"Heh, I'm really getting old, I even have to think twice before risking my life."
Gao Xin said casually: "Old? You may look old, but it's intentional, right? Radiation beings have long lifespans, you're only around seventy, can't say old."
It was just a casual chat, unexpectedly Sea King said, "No, I'm truly old."
"Both mentally and physically..."
Gao Xin frowned, in order to predict further into the future, he sometimes ignores certain details.
The battle ultimately relies on oneself, if the execution is wrong, the result changes, after all, he himself is that powerful anomaly capable of changing destiny.
And at present his conversation with Sea King, is something he didn't foresee.
"You're really old? What do you mean?" Gao Xin asked.
Sea King sighed: "How many years have Radiation beings appeared in total? Coupled with vigorous life force, perhaps only I on the island realize, our lifespans are actually shortening."
Gao Xin was stunned: "Huh? Continuously shortening? Isn't it that the higher the level, the longer the lifespan?"
Sea King nodded: "Yes, longer, Dragon Level probably has a life of around a thousand years, theoretically seventy is still childhood."
"But I really feel old, my appearance is not intentional, but accelerated aging after fighting Six Gods the second time."
Gao Xin widened his eyes: "Six Gods has abilities to accelerate aging in others?"
Sea King shook his head and said: "No, it's me... my body has been shattered too many times."
"Everyone thought I became white-haired overnight because my heart grew old."
"Though that reason exists, it's not it, rather my cell division count is nearing its limit."
Gao Xin was shocked, meanwhile because their conversation echoed through the world, many on the ground were astonished.
Cell division count? Limit?
"Yes, our battles constantly consume lifespan, especially Dragon Level..."
Under Sea King's explanation, many were confused.
The strong on the island have constantly been consuming life, they repair greatly, but shorten life, especially Dragon Level with Super-speed Regeneration.
Lifespan essentially is how many times cells divide.
Radiation beings get severely wounded and repair, cells annihilate and regenerate, either through modules or Silver Tower Healing Medicine, Dragon Level regenerating from a drop of blood, these actually reduce lifespan.
That's why Sea King appears so old, because he's been severely injured and shattered countless times.
Battle shortens life, the more intense the bloodshed, the more life is shortened.
Someday, these war fanatics will discover the cell renewal is slowing down, ultimately unable to regenerate.
"Powerful strength makes life more dazzling, but also narrows its length."
"The brighter things are, the briefer, applies to everything."
"Even stars are like this, not to mention us, everything eventually dies, only Death God is eternal."
Sea King is probably the first on the island to realize Radiation beings have a 'super short' lifespan.
Unless living a pampered life daily, not exhausting oneself through training, battles, fights, no matter how long the lifespan, it will be used up.
Gao Xin was silent, regarding life loss caused by such fighting, he has the highest frequency.
In merely over four months, he didn't know how many times he was shattered, especially the battle at Garbage Mountain, he was infinitely overexerting himself.
Also the Visionary training, is also heart power acceleration, constantly suffering self-inflicted damage and restructuring.
And all effects caused by heart power are not out of thin air, they require a material basis.
Once the cell division count is exhausted, his heart power can't warp reality.
Though knowing is one thing, doing is another.
Like telling young adults that staying up late shortens life, they would just acknowledge but continue regardless.
Radiation beings have only existed thirty years in total, time is short, even the weakest Wolf Level feels quite young, let alone Dragon Level.
