Chapter 128: Overclocking

Although only the brain could be overclocked, for Huang Ze’s current situation, it was actually enough.

After all, this effectively granted him an abundance of extra reaction time out of thin air—ample to observe and respond to that so-called divine weapon.

Huang Ze activated the True Eye atop his head and looked toward the golden longbow in the hands of the blonde Titan, which was charging.

To his surprise, the flow of time around the golden bow was significantly faster than elsewhere, continuously and frantically siphoning energy from nearby sources, including the blonde Titan’s body.

“In other words, the operating speed of this golden bow itself is actually quite rapid…”

Huang Ze’s expression grew serious. He had thought only he could enter this overclocked state—bullet time… no, it should be atomic time—but unexpectedly, this golden bow also possessed such a trait!

Fortunately, its wielder couldn’t fully exploit this feature. Otherwise, Huang Ze really wouldn’t know how to contend with it.

He knew his overclocked state wouldn’t last long; after all, this ability was truly extraordinary—

In this state, the phrase “a glance spanning ten thousand years” ceased to be mere exaggeration and became a genuine possibility!

A single blink on your part equated to a full ten thousand years on my timeline!

Yet, to Huang Ze, this was less a divine skill and more an unrelenting torment.

Enduring ten thousand years alone was definitely not something any normal person could bear!

…

Huang Ze had no time for sentimentality. He quickly adjusted the brain’s overclocking speed continuously, finally arriving at the moment the golden light arrow was released.

He swiftly and clearly anticipated the golden arrow’s flight path, but Huang Ze understood this was far from sufficient.

After all, this was a divine bow with the trait of guaranteed hit; he had to find a way to break its missile lock to evade interception.

He vaguely conceived a plan and promptly put it into action.

…

Of course, no one else knew that in less than two seconds, Huang Ze’s mind had already spun countless calculations and executed several audacious maneuvers.

They only saw the blonde Titan repeat his old trick, firing another golden light arrow to intercept the incoming missile.

…

Then, the missile suddenly seemed to cheat—its speed surged wildly, weaving unpredictably like a serpent, and ultimately it truly evaded the golden arrow’s direct hit.

“It missed?”

The blonde Titan was greatly astonished but didn’t rush to fire another arrow. Instead, he gripped the golden bow tightly, anxiety flickering in his eyes.

As a divine weapon, the arrows shot from this golden bow were far from ordinary. From its forging, it was imbued with the trait of guaranteed hits—the arrows behaved like the automissiles of the Xia Kingdom; they would never relent until the target was struck.

His greater concern now was that the golden bow might perceive this as a provocation, become uncontrollable in its excitement, and unlock a higher-level attack mode.

After all, as a divine weapon, it truly had its own will and temper!

Sure enough, upon realizing its arrow had failed and had been toyed with by the target, the golden bow grew restless, its body radiating ever stronger light—much to his distress.

Though immensely powerful, its energy consumption was also huge, and now its primary energy source was undoubtedly the Titan’s own body!

“But as long as I can shoot down that damned missile, it will all be worth it…”

The blonde Titan comforted himself.

The higher the bow’s awakened divinity, the safer he and his comrades would be. He believed the missile would soon be destroyed.

However, what happened next shocked him deeply. The golden light arrow, in pursuit, suddenly paused, then inexplicably abandoned its target and turned northeast.

“!!!”

The blonde Titan was alarmed, immediately drawing the bow to fire another arrow, but the golden bow seemed agitated by some stimulus, its temper flaring wildly, utterly beyond his control.

By the time he finally managed to release an arrow, the strange missile had already closed to less than three kilometers!

Although this golden arrow successfully blasted the missile midair, it was clearly too late.

He and his comrades had just experienced the devastating power of nuclear annihilation at close range!

…

“Damn it, it finally worked!”

Huang Ze breathed a sigh of relief as those arrogant Titans were caught off guard, unable to evade, and were toppled by the shockwave of the mushroom cloud.

It seemed divine weapons were nothing special after all… there was still a way to punish them!

Though thrilled inside, Huang Ze did not linger on celebration but hurriedly found a spot to land, lying prone and gasping heavily.

His brain was overclocked to an extreme degree. Even though dragons had few pores, white smoke continuously rose from his head, and he could faintly smell the scent of burning, as if some circuits—no, some neural tissues—were short-circuiting.

“Looks like I need to reinforce my brain properly…”

Huang Ze couldn’t help but consider this. The clash with the golden bow had been perilous and intense.

To break its missile lock, he had used his consciousness projection as bait, repeatedly taunting and provoking the golden light arrow…

In the end, his efforts paid off: he tricked it into limping, diverting its target and turning it toward his small account within the territory.

To others, this process lasted only a few seconds, but in Huang Ze’s overclocked state, the entanglement spanned more than an hour. Otherwise, the golden bow wouldn’t have become so furious as to lose control and rampage!

“Mr. Dios… are you alright?”

The Red Dragon followed closely after the Black Dragon’s descent, her voice laced with concern.

She noticed that the Black Dragon’s dark head was faintly flushed red, its heart pounding fiercely. Not only was its body temperature unusually high, but even its dragon soul was scorching hot.

Though she didn’t fully understand what the Black Dragon had just endured, she guessed it had been a dangerous and fierce battle—and she was right there beside him, yet unable to help…

This was simply unforgivable!

The Red Dragon blamed herself deeply, hastily nuzzling her body against the Black Dragon’s head, hoping to comfort him and help cool him down.

Unexpectedly, the Black Dragon showed no gratitude, swatting her away with a paw and grumpily muttering, “…I’m already this hot, and you still get so close—are you out of your mind?”
