The God of Life’s tentacles spread throughout the sky like a tide of darkness.
The dark tides boiled, surged, and formed a sky-high tsunami that seemed like it would completely envelop everything in front of itself.
But the dark tides met their match.
The Soul Shrieker’s sharp shrieking made the black tentacles melt and reveal themselves as faces of desperate souls.
The souls were completely helpless, unable to help themselves from being swallowed by the Soul Shrieker and turning into its food.
Tentacles were disappearing one after another.
Right at the beginning of their combat, the God of Life was already at a slight disadvantage, which caused her to feel even angrier.
『 A mere soul eater dares to show me up!? 』
Thousands of black tentacles returned in front of its face and manifested as souls of Demis.
Over the long period of over 100 million years, these souls used to hold the same Mystic-type Divine Skill, which was unleashed in unison through the God of Life’s control——–
Divine Skill, [Soul Cleaving Slash]!
A faint blade of light appeared in the hands of every soul.
『 Here, give me! 』the God of Life viciously said.
The blades of light left the hands of the souls and fell into the God of Life’s hand, manifesting as an extremely bright sprite of light.
After the souls were stripped of their Divine Skills, they returned to becoming black writhing tentacles.
The God of Life wielded that single sprite of light and firmly slashed it towards the Soul Shrieker.
Sha——-
Hundred Thousand Divine Skills, [Demonic Soul Slashing Blade]!
A paper-thin blade of light manifested and drew an enormous arc through the void that flew endlessly forward.
Where the arc cut through, a bottomless gash was carved into the ground below.
Cr-crak crak———
The gashes swiftly spread throughout the earth like slithering snakes.
Soon enough, the entire world was filled with cracks.
——–bah!
The earth had been thoroughly cut to pieces.
And it wasn’t just the earth, even the empty sky had been cut open.
Both halves of the blue sky were gradually fading away from the cut, allowing the gloomy colors of the space vortex to manifest within the ruined world.
The Soul Shrieker’s ear-piercing shriek abruptly came to a halt.
The arc had gone through its body, left this world, and followed the endlessly vast space vortex into oblivion
The Soul Shrieker had been bisected.
——-but this didn’t manage to take its life.
「 A combined Divine Skill? 」the male half of its body spoke.
『 Such an obsolete soul technique, how uninteresting 』the female half of its body continued.
Countless souls flew out from the two halves of the Soul Shrieker’s body, screaming as they vanished into nothingness.
In just a split second.
Over a million souls perished.
And the Soul Shrieker’s body halves had reattached and went back to normal.
『「 AAAaaaaaeeeeee! Power of [Chaos], shelter me, aid me in the destruction of the Era’s enemy! 』」 the Soul Shrieker roared furiously.
A vast pillar of light appeared from the boundless void and descended on the Soul Shrieker.
Boom!
Light and wind both howled in unison, flickering on its body.
The Soul Shrieker breathed heavily, but spoke in a solemn and dignified holy tone: 『「 Those who obstruct me from destroying [Order], shall—— all——- die! 』」
Its six arms coiled around the sides of its body, morphing into a pair of fleshy wings filled with razor-sharp claws.
Meanwhile, its body madly writhed as it turned into a 2-headed giant beast that exuded a gloomy presence.
This was a mythical [Chaos] creature that would have only manifested near the later periods of the Era of [Chaos].
Time and Future Devourer!
Roar!!!!
The giant beast uttered a thunderous roar, flapped its fleshy wings, and pounced on to the God of Life with lightning-fast speed.
—–the impact was intense!
In the blink of an eye, the beast moved its wings to rip the God of Life’s body apart.
It opened its gaping maw and blasted what remained of the God of Life’s corpse with a grey flame.
Almost immediately, the God of Life’s body was thoroughly destroyed.
But that wasn’t the end, the beast turned its head upwards and blasted the countless black tentacles in the sky with that grey flame as well.
As soon as the first tentacle caught on fire, every tentacle was engulfed in the same kind of flame.
The desperate screams of souls resounded as the tentacles were literally being roasted alive.
The black tentacles that hadn’t been thoroughly burnt through fell to the earth, spreading the flame onto it.
The earth started to burn as well.
——no, the entirety of Calming Soul Country was being burnt by this grey flame at once.
Everything was turned to ash.
The giant beast hovered in the air, spread its fleshy wings wide and roared to the sky above: 『「 Those who obstruct [Chaos] will fall in this miserable way, and none shall ever escape! 』」
Under its roar, the light that descended from above grew even more blinding.
The world was burning under its feet, the corpse of the old Deity burnt to a crisp.
At this moment, it was the invincible True Deity of the void!
…
Several thousand meters away from where the two Deities battled.
Gu Qing Shan’s group had just finished gathering all the mirror worlds with the Demis evacuated inside and turned around to see this.
Under the flower umbrella, Laura muttered at a loss: “Is this what a battle between Deities looks like?”
“That’s right, it’s all over…” Zhang Ying Hao sighed.
Everyone fell silent.
In just a few exchanges of blows, an entire world had already been cut up and destroyed.
This was the terrifying power only seen in myths.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and asked: “Boss, I remember you saying that a battle between Deities does not end so quickly?”
“I did” Boss replied, “Unless the difference between them is too great, it would never end in a single day——- let’s watch on——-”
Everyone was surprised.
Watch on?
Didn’t the Soul Shrieker already win?
Boss slowly chuckled and muttered: “It’s still only a new Deity, noticing so late…”
Everyone followed his gaze.
Only to see that everything had already been destroyed on the ravaged lands, even the God of Life’s black tentacles had already been burnt almost completely away.
Only one final black tentacle remained.
…
The grey flames continued to burn this tentacle, but it was completely unfazed.
Naturally, the Soul Shrieker also noticed this tentacle.
It gathered all the light from its body into its mouth and manifested another mass of burning grey flames.
『「 DIE! 』」
The Soul Shrieker spat out that grey flame.
The grey flame silently flew, burning the void as it advanced to form a long empty trail behind it.
Boom!
The grey flames struck the black tentacle!
The earth around the tentacle was immediately melted away.
The grey flame followed the black tentacle and continued to burn through the ground.
And kept burning,
And kept burning,
Until…
The Soul Shrieker waited in the air, silently watching the grey flames burning through the ground.
All of a sudden, it seemed to have noticed something and spread its fleshy wings to take to the sky.
A grudgeful voice resounded from deep underground.
『 Running away? 』
A large black hand reached out from deep underground, swiftly caught up to the flying Soul Shrieker and caught it.
The Soul Shrieker’s body was now that of a giant monster, but this hand was even bigger than its entire body.
Rumble rumble!
The earth completely broke apart, turning into dust that scattered into the space vortex.
The one behind the black hand—— the monster that hid deep underground had finally shown itself to everyone.
At first glance, this monster seemed like a gigantic black snake.
But it wasn’t a snake.
Because it had a pair of enormous human hands with a layer of tough carapace on its head with a bright purple glow.
No eyes.
No face.
The very end of its tail was the black tentacle that the grey flames couldn’t burn away.
The black tentacle writhed and turned into the old lady’s form.
The old lady glared intently at the Soul Shrieker and spoke full of hatred: 『 Even as the world was destroyed, I didn’t awaken my true body. A measly new Deity like yourself dared to force me to awaken my real self!? 』
As it spoke, the giant black hand gradually squeezed tighter.
『「 Aaaargggh! 』」
The Soul Shrieker howled in pain.
It exerted all of its power, turning into grey flames, and escaped from being in the hand’s hold.
The grey flames moved far away and manifested as the Soul Shrieker again.
——–however, so what if it managed to escape?
The Soul Shrieker observed the other party in shock.
Too strong.
It was easy to tell just how powerful the other party was at a mere glance.
This monster had only just revealed its real body, there was no telling how many abilities that it hasn’t utilized.
The Soul Shrieker muttered in shock: 『「 So… you weren’t a Deity…』」
『 A deity? 』the old lady smirked sarcastically.
Her gaze turned to her large body and chuckled hysterically:
『 Within this vast and endless void, what good is being a Deity? In the past, nothing they could come up with managed to kill this body 』
The Soul Shrieker shouted: 『「 Despicable! Who exactly are you!? 』」
From the boundless void of space, the light of [Chaos] fully converged on its body.
The old lady narrowed her eye and observed that pillar of light, muttering in a low voice: 『 [Chaos]…』
…
While they were staring one another down.
A bit further away.
Gu Qing Shan sensed what was happening and muttered: “Oh no, that monster is too strong—— this isn’t the result we wanted”
Boss asked: “What kind of result did you want?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I wanted the Water God Card, in the worst case, I wanted the more powerful enemy to die and the weaker enemy to survive!”
Boss shook his head: “That monster couldn’t be killed even by the—–”
“I know, not even the Deities managed to kill it”
Gu Qing Shan told Laura: “Come, we’re going over there”
“Huh? We are?”
Laura asked without moving.
She felt her body shivering just by looking at that monster.
This couldn’t be helped, aside from Boss, even Gu Qing Shan was trembling.
A mythical [Chaos] monster at its peak.
An amalgamation between Deity and void monster.
These entities were so terrifying that a mere look at them could cause the minds of many to crumble.
Gu Qing Shan controlled his trembling body and spoke in a calm voice: “Laura, listen to me. I’m also trembling right now, but both you and I understand that this is our only chance”
Laura’s tears were already rolling.
Gu Qing Shan shook the hair tie on his wrist and told her: “Don’t worry, we won’t die——- even if we do, I’ll make sure that you’re the last person to die”
While Laura was still frightful, she couldn’t help herself smiling at that statement.
She slowly closed her eyes: “I’m an adult now, I’m not afraid! I’m not afraid! Aaaah! That thing is too terrifying, I’m not afraid!”
She skillfully opened her small backpack, took out various artifacts, and equipped herself to the literal teeth.
She finally stopped trembling.
She took out numerous more treasures and distributed them to everyone.
“These are artifacts that can amplify your fighting spirit and courage—– everyone equip them, otherwise if you’re trembling so much that you let go of the umbrella, we’re all doomed”
The group hurriedly put on the various helmets, gloves, shoulder pads, masks, shoes, pants, even skirts.
After this was done, the umbrella started moving forward.
Closer.
And closer.
Until the group entered the battlefield.
This time, they were silently hovering above the Soul Shrieker’s shoulder.
Gu Qing Shan focused his mind and converged on the seemingly solid luck around his body.
——Fate Divine Skill: [Words of Determined Destiny]!
This was his second use of this Divine Skill.
The limit was that he could only say one statement at a time!
Gu Qing Shan silently reminded himself before taking a deep breath.
He then leaned into the Soul Shrieker’s ear and spoke: “This monster just said that it didn’t awaken its real body even when the world is destroyed which means that there must be some sort of huge issue whenever it uses its real body so you must stall until that issue it is afraid of surfaces”
He stated the entire thing in a single breath.
Not only was this spoken for the Soul Shrieker to hear, but it had also determined a certain destiny!
“Go!”
Gu Qing Shan shouted in his whisper.
The flower umbrella flashed and escaped from the Soul Shrieker’s vicinity.
Right at this time, the old lady spoke:
『 Scram, Deity of the [Chaos] faction, you are too weak and too insignificant. Do not cross me again, or I shall devour both your body and soul! 』
The Soul Shrieker was surprised.
Who’s going to let their opponent go when they hold the absolute advantage?
It must surely have some sort of issue!
What exactly is it afraid of?
The Soul Shrieker howled:
『「 I am the only Deity of [Chaos] within the 900 million World Layers 』」
「『 Come, today, I shall see for myself what kind of entity that not even the ancient Deities managed to win against! 」』
Boom!!!
The immense light of [Chaos] once again descended upon its body.
