Chapter 1728 T-That... was holding back...?
Nux was confused, but before he could react,
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
From all eight directions, something was fired at him.
The mercenaries knew that his body was strong; normal attacks wouldn\'t work on him. Therefore, what they attacked him with was Eerie Slime\'s Slime, a sticky liquid used to reduce the mobility of the target.
It was something that worked on everyone who had a physical body. Sure, the degree of effect it would have on everyone was different, but it still worked.
The green slimy liquid moved towards Nux, and he raised his eyebrow.
"Now that\'s just disgusting"
Of course, he had countless ways to defend himself. He could stop it using [Absolute Kinesis], turn into a shadow, completely avoiding it, or simply teleport to another place. But from the start, he had not been using any of his abilities.
For him, all of this was nothing more than a practice session. After all, he wouldn\'t be able to use most of his abilities in Umbrasol.
Sure, he would be able to use Devouring Mist, but there, he would be facing 90,000 opponents instead of a mere 20,000. Therefore, Nux was challenging himself to not use anything other than his physical might in this fight.
Yes, the battle where the pride of the mercenaries was bet upon for Nux, it was merely a practice session.
If he were serious, he had more than a few methods to end this all within a minute. Right now, however, seeing the disgusting liquid moving towards him, Nux was considering using his abilities.
"Tsk."
In the end, he just snorted and,
"Don\'t blame me, you brought this upon yourself."
He thought inwardly as he stared in a random direction and then,
He rushed forward, his speed so fast that his figure blurred. His plan was simple. He wanted to run and get away from this place. With his speed, no mercenaries would be able to stop him anyway.
The mercenaries, however, had anticipated this. The tanks had already surrounded him from all directions, making sure he couldn\'t get away. Even if the tanks were covered with slime in the process, it would be worth it.
But...
Nux, who was running toward one particular direction, suddenly punched forward and,
*BOOOOOOOM*n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Physical Might of two Worlds was gathered. The force used was so strong that almost 100 tanks and 200 swordsmen, 100 ranged dealers, and 50 assassins standing in the front were sent flying, passing out in an instant.
The ones standing in the front could feel all their bones shattering.
Ever since the start, this was the first time someone was injured. After all, before this, Nux had only been smashing heads to the floor, making his enemies pass out. He didn\'t hurt them much.
Nux, who had cleared out an entire sector, stood at a distance. The liquid thrown at him fell to the ground, not even a single drop touching him.
It was only when the liquid fell that the mercenaries finally came out of their reverie and realized what had happened.
They all glanced at Nux in horror.
Nux smiled.
"I wanted to deal with all of you one by one, as peacefully as possible, but...
If you are that desperate, then..."
Nux suddenly glanced at the mercenary he was talking to before. The mercenary\'s body trembled.
Suddenly, he saw Nux appearing right in front of him. It was as if this man had teleported right before his eyes.
What horrified him even more, however, was the trail of mercenaries behind Nux.
From where Nux stood to where he was now, not a single mercenary-no matter whether they were an assassin, a tank, a swordsman, a mage, or an archer-
All of them were down.
"You were right when you said how the brightest flame burns the fastest."
Nux spoke, and then the mercenary saw a giant palm right in front of his eyes. Before his vision blurred, he heard some words,
"But that only works on little flames, not the Sun,"

There were still a few \'Forces\' that hadn\'t moved yet. Nux could see three of them, one was full of elites who should have attacked him once he was covered with that slimy liquid, one was only there for emergency, to quickly provide support if something went wrong, and the last one, he didn\'t know what role they had.
Not that he cared.
The mercenaries had indeed planned everything thoroughly. They even made sure to rotate continuously making sure they didn\'t tire out.
Nux could somewhat understand their plan.
They wanted to tire him out before going all out.
It was a strategy one usually used while facing a strong beast.
"How very mercenary-like."
Nux chuckled.
And then, as he clenched his fists, an absurd pressure descended on the stage.
"Let\'s end this, shall we?"
The moment he said those words, the mercenaries realized it.
This battle...
They were never supposed to win it.
*BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM*
With each of his punches, a force so strong that it could break thousands of
Sovereigns into pieces shook the entire Nexus.
Even a Middle-Level World like Nexus, strong enough to have a Transcendent level being, trembled because of the pure Physical Might Nux displayed.
The waves of attacks were so strong that within ten punches, 20,000 mercenaries
were down.
The battle was over.
Absolute silence fell over the place.
No one could believe what they had just witnessed.
Even Primordials doubted themselves,
Could they do what they just saw...?
They weren\'t sure.
Heck. Nux could even sense a few beings far, far stronger than a Primordial looking at
him from a distant place.
He realized it.
They were all Transcendents.
On the other side, in the deathly silent Arena, Riona suddenly facepalmed.
"Tsk, if he was going to end it anyway, why didn\'t he just go all out?
Why is he still holding back?"
The moment the people in the audience heard those words, their worldview
shattered.
\'T-That... was holding back...?"
