Chapter 271: 271. An Attack That Can't Be Blocked
With that thought, he turned toward Kitsuri and said, "I don't know what you're planning, but don't think this attack can stop me. As I said earlier, you can't kill me."
"We'll see," Kitsuri smiled, glancing at the golden beam of light approaching Grey Orion.
Grey Orion also looked at the golden arrow, his expression growing serious.
'Time to do something crazy.'
His hands began to glow with an eerie black light that quickly spread, engulfing his entire body like dark, flickering flames.
Moments later, the light receded, concentrating around his hands until it formed a pitch-black sphere, as large as his head, pulsating with ominous energy.
Soon after, the sphere began to reshape, transforming into a bow.
'This will do.'
Grey Orion felt the strength of the bow was sufficient for a heavy attack. He took a stance, aiming at the golden arrow coming toward him.
He then condensed an arrow on the bowstring, also made of darkness energy.
What followed was pure madness. Grey Orion channeled every curse he could manifest physically into the arrow—lightning, fire, ice, explosive energy, razor-sharp edges, raw strength, and more.
The arrow blazed with black fire, crackled with dark lightning, and radiated a chilling frost. Every element merged together, their effects overlapping and swirling, until the entire arrow was cloaked in darkness, a terrifying amalgamation of all these powers in one.
He added the ability to devour from Devouring Abyss, shockwaves from Cursed Pulse, the energy of disintegration from Disintegration Aura, and every other curse he could summon. The arrow now radiated a potent aura that made the very air tremble with its presence.
As a final touch, he infused it with his infinite energy, amplifying its already chaotic power to a terrifying degree.
Even the void seemed to shudder as he held the bow, its tip aimed at the oncoming golden arrow. The ocean waves grew restless under the pressure of Grey Orion's attack.
On the other side, Kitsuri's face turned serious as she witnessed the power of Grey Orion's arrow. The other six Seats above the ocean also frowned, though Suzan's lips curled into a smile for reasons unknown.

Grey Orion focused his senses on the golden arrow and pulled the bowstring back with all his strength before releasing it with a soft motion.
RUMBLE!
With the speed of lightning, a sonic boom echoed as a black beam of light shot forward, streaking toward the golden arrow.
In an instant, the two arrows collided. But instead of the expected explosion, something entirely unforeseen occurred—the black arrow fused with the golden arrow, merging seamlessly into it.
The energy within the golden arrow surged, multiplying and becoming far more powerful than before. Yet, it didn't detonate. Instead, it accelerated, closing the distance with terrifying speed until it was right in front of Grey Orion's stunned eyes.
He could hardly believe it—his strongest attack had been absorbed so effortlessly, and now the golden arrow was even more formidable than before.
A feeling of dread washed over Grey Orion, an icy chill that gnawed at the core of his being. It was a sensation he hadn't felt since that fateful day in the Null Void—the day he had died.
His mind raced as his instincts screamed at him, warning him of the imminent danger posed by the golden arrow now aimed at his heart. He could sense that the newly empowered golden arrow had the potential to decimate him—to kill him.
And yet, even as he stood there, on the precipice of oblivion, he couldn't help but question: would this be his end?
Since he was connected to his original self, Grey Orion believed he wouldn't die and would revive as he did in the Null Void. However, there was a possibility of death. He wasn't in the Null Void now, so he wasn't sure if its laws would apply here.
In theory, as long as the original didn't die, he wouldn't either. That had been proven true in the Null Void, but that was the Null Void—this was the other world.
He didn't want to find out. Testing that theory was a gamble with stakes too high to ignore. Grey Orion wasn't one to shy away from risks, but this was different. The cost of failure wasn't something he could afford, not now, not with everything he still needed to do.
'If I had time, I might come up with a powerful defense, but I don't have that luxury.'
Grey Orion's mind raced, sifting through his various curses for something that might help.
'I could also send the arrow into my dimension and avoid it, but...'
He wasn't sure about that either. His suspicion that the Ten Seats wanted him to enter his dimension made him believe that if he did, they might follow. Though he wasn't certain how they would achieve that, he knew the world's strongest organization surely had the means.
He couldn't risk them entering his dimension.
His original self was in there, and if they managed to breach his only safe haven, it wouldn't be long before he perished along with his original.
'Damn, they've countered all my abilities with a single attack!'
Grey Orion found it hard to believe that despite all his powers, the Ten Seats had cornered him.
'Looks like I can only use that.'
In the end, he settled on something that would definitely block the golden arrow—he was certain of it. But he also understood the consequences of using it.
'It's not my fault. They forced me into this.'
Buzz!
At that moment, the golden arrow appeared right before him, the ocean evaporating in a straight line as it approached.
'I was saving this for last, but it is what it is.'
He gritted his teeth and unleashed...
