Lin Bei spread his hands and said, "You barely tickled me. Your abilities aren't that impressive."
"The power of the Thunder Emperor?" Bai Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "Your ability comes from Infinite City, doesn't it?"
A look of confusion appeared in Lin Bei's eyes. "What do you mean?"
"I see!"
Bai Ye scrutinized Lin Bei again.
Indeed, Yimi's description of the Divine Servants was correct. After dying and resurrecting to become Divine Servants, they would lose their original memories.
This included not only the memories of their original world but also the memories of their experiences before death in the world battlefield.
Therefore, Lin Bei did not know the origin of his ability.
However, Bai Ye did.
Infinite City, a forbidden zone, a region combining entry-level futuristic technology and special abilities.
In the lower levels of Infinite City, there was an organization called voLts, whose leader was known as the Thunder Emperor, an undefeated existence within Infinite City.
Why did Bai Ye know this?
Of course, it was because he had been to Infinite City in his previous life and had even cleared the forbidden zone in the lower levels. The mission in that forbidden zone was to defeat the Thunder Emperor and his Four Heavenly Kings.
The greatest characteristic of the Thunder Emperor's lightning ability was its ability to absorb lightning and strengthen himself.
Why was the Thunder Emperor known as an undefeated existence in Infinite City?
This was because Infinite City was actually an abandoned futuristic technology building. After becoming a half-finished structure, it became a dwelling place for refugees and the homeless.
However, despite being abandoned, Infinite City possessed a vast amount of electrical facilities. The Thunder Emperor could continuously grow stronger by absorbing the electricity in Infinite City, thus forging his undefeated myth.
The method Bai Ye used to defeat the Thunder Emperor in his previous life was actually very simple. He dismantled all the machines that could discharge electricity using mechanical reconstruction, and then Bai Ye won.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Lin Bei grinned. "But I like the title Thunder Emperor!"
As Lin Bei spoke, he raised his fist and punched in Bai Ye's direction.
*Zzzt!*
A large amount of current appeared and surged towards Bai Ye, hitting his chest.
And then...
Nothing happened!
Bai Ye casually reached out and brushed off the lightning from his body, saying, "Sorry, if you're the Thunder Emperor, then I'm the Thunder God!"
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, he raised his leg and swept it forward.
Just like Lin Bei, it was the simplest and most direct lightning attack. A large amount of current appeared and swept forward, shattering the ground, and then hitting Bai Ye.
Lin Bei's body was forced back again, and the current that entangled him gradually entered his body.
Bai Ye sneered disdainfully.
There were many types of lightning abilities. In different worlds and different regions, there were similar abilities to control lightning. Although the effects of the abilities were similar, their power levels were not the same.
The Thunder Emperor's ability was very strong, but it was only golden quality, and at the lower end of golden quality.
As for the Goro Goro no Mi...
It was of super quality!
So, how did the gap appear between similar abilities?
One could actually tell by looking at some details.
The most prominent feature of the Thunder Emperor's lightning ability was its ability to absorb lightning and then strengthen himself through the amplification of electricity.
This effect looked powerful, but during the conversion of lightning, Lin Bei would be injured. As for Bai Ye...
After elementalization, Bai Ye himself was lightning.
Could there be any lightning in this world that could harm Bai Ye?
As for absorbing lightning, since Bai Ye could transform into lightning himself, was there any problem in merging other currents?
In fact, this was not even counted as an effect of the Goro Goro no Mi.
Because it was self-evident.
Therefore, if Lin Bei was truly the Thunder Emperor.
Then Bai Ye was the Thunder God!
How could man contend with a god?
It was quite ironic that Situ Chicheng allowed Lin Bei to seek out Bai Ye, largely because Lin Bei's Thunder Emperor ability could absorb other lightning and transform it into his own through electricity.
In Situ Chicheng's view, this might be a way to counter Bai Ye's abilities.
Unfortunately...
Situ Chicheng had misjudged!
Of course, one couldn't completely blame Situ Chicheng. Although Situ Chicheng and Bai Lu had fought with Bai Ye and knew about Bai Ye's lightning abilities, they did not know that this lightning ability came from the Goro Goro no Mi, nor did they know its specific effects.
...
While lost in thought, Bai Ye reached out forward and made a grasping motion before Lin Bei could absorb the lightning.
The next moment, the unabsorbed current suddenly became violent, spreading wildly, gradually growing larger, and finally transforming into a beast of lightning that appeared before Lin Bei.
*Bang!*
The lightning beast raised its giant claw and swept it forcefully towards Lin Bei.
Lin Bei raised his arm to block, and was instantly sent flying, crashing into the side and smashing through the wall of a mansion.
Bai Ye paced forward, but at this moment, a commotion could be heard from a distance.
Bai Ye looked up and saw that the hunters, attracted by the noise, were rushing over.
But before Bai Ye could deal with the hunters...
*Zzzt, zzzt, zzzt...*
The sound of crackling electricity suddenly rang out, the lights in the surrounding buildings flickered incessantly, and then the sound of exploding light bulbs echoed continuously.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck towards the hunters.
In an instant, those hunters fell to the ground, their bodies scorched black, and they lost all signs of life.
Bai Ye looked in the direction where the wall had collapsed. Lin Bei had already gotten up from the ground, his entire body emitting a white glow.
"Oh?" Bai Ye smiled. "Thunder Emperor state?"
This time it wasn't a title, but an effect.
This was the Thunder Emperor's most powerful killing move. Bai Ye himself had been hard-pressed by the Thunder Emperor in his Thunder Emperor state.
However...
At that time, Bai Ye was fighting the Thunder Emperor in the forbidden zone of Infinite City's lower levels, and the Thunder Emperor could draw upon the electricity of Infinite City.
But Lin Bei...
Bai Ye looked at the surrounding buildings with their flickering lights.
Alright, Lin Bei had absorbed quite a bit of electricity, but how could this compare to Infinite City?
Lin Bei's Thunder Emperor state was a joke in Bai Ye's eyes.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Lin Bei let out a low roar and charged towards Bai Ye, his body entangled with lightning, and he punched towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye completely ignored the punch and allowed Lin Bei to hit him.
The next moment, Lin Bei's fist passed through Bai Ye's body.
The elementalization of the Goro Goro no Mi could indeed only immunize against pure physical attacks, but...
Lightning attacks didn't count!
However, in Lin Bei's eyes, this couldn't be considered his attack being nullified. Greed appeared on his face as he madly absorbed the current from Bai Ye, attempting to convert this current into his own power.
However...
