Chapter 771 - 765: Fourth Calamity
Ma Ran did not speak nonsense.
The information he just conveyed to Su Qiangwei all originated from the Main Universe Will.
Many pieces of information may hold little value to the erratic Main Universe Will, but to Ma Ran, they are profoundly significant.
Even with only brief contact and communication, Ma Ran analyzed a wealth of highly valuable intelligence.
"Supreme of Devouring..."
Ma Ran savored the meaning of this unfamiliar rank, suddenly laughing lightly: "It does sound more dominant than Supreme of Fusion."
"Is it my personal preference?"
Shaking his head, Ma Ran gathered his thoughts and gave Su Qiangwei an encouraging look.
Their gazes met, no words were needed, everything was understood without speech.
At this moment, the young girl also revealed a bit of her rightful courage, without the slightest hesitation or indecision, she approached the Platinum Cube directly, placing her palm upon it.
ZZZZZZ...
Within the Platinum Cube, white smoke clouds rose, seemingly melting continuously under Su Qiangwei’s palm, revealing its intrinsic nature.
In an instant, the cube’s barriers dissipated into smoke, completely dissolving into nothingness.
At the same time, Su Qiangwei’s body and soul reached a mysterious dimension, becoming transparent, as if ready to vanish without a trace.
Meanwhile, her True Spirit Seal shone brilliantly, flickering with mysterious light.
She gradually grasped the essence of the cosmos, her origin rapidly sublimated, and within the extraordinary peak realm, she seized her place.
It sounds simple, and the actual process wasn’t complicated either.
In Ma Ran’s view, in the blink of an eye, Su Qiangwei completed the quantum leap and sublimation of her life level, transforming into a Supreme of Devouring, rising to the top, and even when facing other supreme rulers, she had the confidence and capability to battle them.
In Ma Ran’s eyes, dark golden luster slightly flowed, his gaze penetrating all facades, glimpsing the truth.
"This is rank..."
"Its essence is the rule of the world, the iron law of the cosmos."
Ma Ran has clashed with supreme rulers not once or twice, he already had his understanding of the "Supreme Rank", and now witnessing the birth of a new supreme, his understanding of rank deepened.
Regardless of how arduous the process, how many upheavals are experienced, at least now, Ma Ran’s goal was achieved.
Originally gradually transparent, nearly ethereal Su Qiangwei, her form gradually solidified, stabilized.
She took a step forward, leaving the dimension beyond the "world framework", arriving in the real world, beside Ma Ran.
"Hahahaha! Compared to before, I’ve become so much stronger!"
The girl stared at Ma Ran, her eyes curved into crescents with delight: "As the Supreme of Devouring, my life level has completely reached another tier, I feel like my former self was just like a glass bottle, shattering with a gentle touch."
"As of now... let’s not mention combat power, my survivability has significantly enhanced by countless times! Even if my body is shattered, my soul dissipates, I won’t die!"
In short, she’s become tougher and more resilient.
"The uniqueness of the Supreme of Devouring rank... its origin is abundant, incapable of restraining other ranks except for the Supreme of Fusion, nor would it be restrained by any other ranks."
From this perspective, Su Qiangwei the Supreme of Devouring shares some similarities in traits with Ma Ran the Supreme of No Position.
As for the comparison of combat power...
It’s like one is on the ground, the other in the sky, completely incomparable!
Before occupying the Supreme of Devouring rank, she wasn’t considered weak, even when facing middle-rank gods of the Divine Court, she could easily fight and win.
But compared to now...
The difference is as vast as a firefly to the sun!
Su Qiangwei feels that now, with her abilities, she could single-handedly take on a billion of her former selves without breaking a sweat!
Of course, her previous accumulation, effort, and training were not meaningless.
If she hadn’t cultivated to that level, even if she were a Harmonizer, her strength wouldn’t meet the standard, and she couldn’t have become a qualified Supreme of Devouring rank.
Even the process of merging the rank, though it appeared smooth, was fraught with peril.
No one knows the risks better than Su Qiangwei.
What Ma Ran said was all true.
To occupy a rank, either you reach the top in one step, achieving supremacy, or you fail, face death, have your soul destroyed, your true spirit shattered, and even the traces of your existence are utterly erased.
If not for Ma Ran supporting by her side, painstakingly eliminating countless "bad-ending" timelines, she would’ve had less than a one in ten thousand chance of successfully refining the Supreme of Devouring rank.
Su Qiangwei knows well that even though she is a Harmonizer, her success rate was appallingly low.
To have gained this power, Ma Ran deserves the most credit! It can be said that without him, there wouldn’t be the present Supreme of Devouring Su Qiangwei!
After reaching a new level of life, Su Qiangwei vaguely sensed that the Supreme Origin on Ma Ran seemed somewhat unusually abundant.
Including the time and Concept Cutting abilities he previously displayed, none seem to be "borrowed" from others, but more like capabilities honed through his own arduous training.
However...
Ma Ran didn’t mention it, and Su Qiangwei didn’t ask unnecessarily.
She believes that no matter what Ma Ran does, there must be sense in it.
"Understood."
Ma Ran smiled gently, patting Su Qiangwei on the shoulder, speaking in a calm tone: "For the upcoming ’Fourth Calamity’ plan, although we don’t need to handle the toughest parts, you do need to acquaint yourself with this new power as soon as possible."
Su Qiangwei was momentarily stunned, then nodded in agreement.
A year ago, she was an ordinary high school girl, not remarkable, taking time from her studies to read novels and watch dramas, so she wasn’t unfamiliar with the term ’Fourth Calamity’, and she could roughly guess that the plan should be related to that mysterious Game Main God.
Besides...
Even if Ma Ran hadn’t mentioned it, Su Qiangwei would have strived to adapt to her new abilities.
With the Supreme of Devouring rank in hand, as one of the seven million lucky ones in the Main Universe, she caught the opportune era, reaching the pinnacle in one step!
But this doesn’t mean she can rest on her laurels.
After reaching the realm of a supreme ruler, Su Qiangwei deeply felt just how formidable the authority she now wields.
Myriad Transformations, the Red Lotus Skill, Seven Vortex Swordsmanship, Burning Martial, these four nearly entirely different extraordinary systems, now, she could with a mere thought, devour and unify the cultivation of these different extraordinary paths into her pure supreme origin.
All heavens and myriads of worlds, endless planes, myriad skillful methods, all powerful forces, as long as Su Qiangwei wishes, she can devour, absorb, and make them her own!
While she carefully contemplated her own transformation, she also genuinely comprehended Ma Ran’s strength.
After all, Supreme of Devouring is an age-old seat.
Even so, Su Qiangwei only managed to occupy it through a multitude of coincidences intertwined.
And the Supreme of No Position?
That was a path Ma Ran blazed from nothing, through sheer personal effort!
Even such a powerful Ma Ran is still worried about formidable enemies from the endless planes — what right does she have to slack off?
Sharing responsibilities, shouldering the mission together!
Only through effort! Effort! More effort!
If she can’t manage even that, on what grounds can Master Qiangwei claim to be Ma Xiansheng’s best partner?
