With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 271 Defeated Again

Gruul roared, gathering his strength once more, preparing to launch an attack with an even wider range.

However, the clone, which was in mid-air and seemingly had nowhere to gain leverage and was more likely to become a target, did something that left Sasova and the others dumbfounded.

He neither defended nor dodged, but instead aimed his staff at the area below where the energy flow of the magic circle was most violent, and where Gruul and Sasovar were relatively concentrated.

At the tip of the staff, dazzling starlight began to converge with unprecedented brightness!

That was neither the condensation of [Star Rays] nor the tearing sensation of [Starstorm], but a more ancient and magnificent tremor that seemed to have stirred the power of the stars in the heavens!

"What is he doing?!" Sasovall's alarm bells rang loudly.

"Stop him!" Gruul also sensed something was wrong. Ignoring his injuries, he forcibly interrupted his charge and unleashed several sword energies.

But it was too late.

The clone uttered several clear and ancient syllables, each of which seemed to resonate with the real starry sky outside the formation!

Astral Imprisonment!

This time, it wasn't a small-scale force field, but rather a forceful disruption of the spatial structure within the formation, using the vast power of the stars as a guide!

A distorted astral region, several times larger than before, suddenly descended, enveloping Gruul, Sasovall, and a large number of array nodes!

The Starshine lag effect is amplified!

Gruul's sword energy slowed down drastically, and Sasovall's control over the shadow energy became sluggish!

More importantly, the flow of energy in the array in this area was briefly disrupted and frozen!

"Now, Little White," the clone said calmly.

Little White, who had been waiting for a long time, let out a thunderous dragon roar! Its icy blue dragon eyes shot out a sharp light, and the suppressed cold air around its body suddenly exploded!

[Extreme Cold Outbreak]! Activated Talent Skill!

For 30 seconds, ice damage is increased by 120%, mana cost is reduced by 70%, and cooldown is reduced by 80%!

"Singing—!! (Ice Age!)"

The little white dragon opened its mouth wide, no longer exhaling, but pouring out!

Like a glacier bursting its banks, the vast and endless extreme cold mixed with its primordial dragon power swept and eroded the area below affected by the [Astral Imprisonment] from its center!

Click! Click! Click!

Wherever the terrifying cold wave passed, the viscous abyssal energy flow within the formation was instantly frozen!

The ground was covered with a layer of crystal-clear ice several meters thick!

Just as Gruul broke free from the starlight's stun, his legs were frozen solid by the rapidly spreading ice!

Sasovall was swept away by the cold air, and frost instantly formed on his body. The channeling of his shadow spell was forcibly interrupted, and he shivered!

This is not over yet!

The clone staff points again!

【Starstorm】!

Two astral rifts tore open directly above Gruul and Sasovall!

The destructive stellar energy exploded in the frigid environment of the [Extreme Cold Outburst], and the collision of ice and stars produced even more terrifying combined damage!

The frozen abyssal energy and the solid ice on the ground were shattered, and Gruul and Sasovall within them were also devastated!

"No--!!!"

"The abyss... shelters..."

The screams and final roars of the two were drowned out by the roar of the explosion.

As the starlight and cold air slowly dissipated, the area was left in ruins.

Gruul was encased in a massive block of ice, his body charred black, his breath extremely faint, and the Rockbreaker fell to the side.

Sasowar lay amidst the broken ice shards, his body covered in frost and scorch marks, his fate unknown.

Because of her slightly further away position and agile movements, Sahras managed to avoid the most critical blow, but she was still affected by the aftershocks and was thrown back, crashing into the energy wall at the edge of the formation. She coughed up blood again, her eyes glazed over, and she completely lost her fighting ability.

Within the formation, silence fell for a moment. Only the lingering turbulent energy and chilling aura seemed to murmur.

"No...it's impossible..."

Shahras weakly raised her head, looking at her clone still suspended in mid-air, its aura only slightly disordered, and at the little white creature whose chilling aura had been suppressed and whose dragon eyes were indifferent. Her eyes were filled with boundless fear and a sense of absurdity.

"Within...within the formation...we received blessings...you were suppressed...why...still..."

Why did we still suffer such a complete defeat?

It's even faster than losing money outside!

The opponent was just one person and one dragon. Under many restrictions, a brilliant counterattack completely destroyed all the resistance that they had barely managed to muster with the help of the formation!

The gap was so large that it drove her to despair.

The shadow clone slowly descended, stepping onto the cold, cracked ground of the formation.

He dusted off non-existent dust from the corner of his robe, his gaze sweeping over the four who had completely lost their fighting ability, and finally landing on the energy wall of the formation that was maintaining the operation of the formation, but was connected to the four people's origins and was now fluctuating violently.

The corners of his mouth once again curved into that familiar, calm yet slightly indifferent smile.

"The formation is good, but unfortunately, the person who set it up... is terrible," he commented.

"You...you better not get cocky!"

Shahras struggled, screaming with her last ounce of strength, a twisted, almost manic smile on her face.

"Even if... even if you defeat us... so what? The [Four Extremes Abyss Binding Spirit Array] is already complete! It's based on our life essence and the rules of the abyss! Unless it's forcibly broken from the outside with power far exceeding the array's own, or unless the four of us actively dispel it, otherwise... otherwise it can last for at least three days and three nights!"

She was breathing heavily, but a malicious pleasure gleamed in her eyes:

"You and this little lizard will be trapped here forever! Once Lord Kael'thas has dealt with your true form, he'll come after you! Then... cough cough... you'll be sitting ducks!"

Her words seemed to revive the dying Gruul and the unconscious Sasovall, and a final, vicious hope, belonging to the losers, ignited in their eyes.

Yes, they lost, but their opponents won't get away with it either! This formation is their final revenge!

However, faced with Shahras's blustering declaration, the smile on the Shadow Clone's face seemed to widen slightly.

He shook his head slightly, as if lamenting the other person's ignorance and naivety.

"Suffocated?" The clone repeated the word, then slowly raised the [Star Devouring Staff] in its hand.

This time, he neither gathered starlight nor summoned the stars.

At the top of the staff, the deep, dark core seemed to connect to a more distant, more scorching, more... violent place.
