Perhaps Lu PingAn's greatest asset had always been that he was born a natural dual god.
When Lu PingAn himself stood before the giant beast while Chris blocked its other direction, a natural two-on-one had taken shape.
"Can we reconcile?"
The evil god known as a calamity suddenly wanted to negotiate.
"Sure. How about becoming my god? My pantheon is rather short on gods, especially local ones."
Lu PingAn smiled as he answered.
Meanwhile, he and Chris were rapidly moving their bodies, adapting to this new combat state as quickly as possible.
"So there's no room for negotiation."
The young man and the woman stood before the evil beast. Though they were plainly tiny humanoids, the giant beast dozens of meters tall did not dare move an inch.
Lu PingAn smiled, but inwardly, he was somewhat uncertain.
Having just completed the transformation, even after moving his body as much as possible, he still could not perfectly use his new shell.
"Forty percent? Or sixty percent?" Lu PingAn had not transformed into his divine body. He could not adapt to that three-faced, many-armed form, and transforming might even make him weaker.
He guessed Chris was the same. She probably had not taken on this divine body in a long time.
Under such circumstances, facing the apparently dangerous god-level creature before him, Lu PingAn hesitated somewhat.
It was a hideous monster. Its solitary elongated head was especially ferocious, while its thirteen limbs were grotesquely misshapen—some like blades, some like claws, twisted and bizarre.
Six appeared to be legs, while seven looked like weapons. Just looking at them made one's flesh ache.
"Confident?"
"We'll find out if we try."
Chris was calm, even confident.
Unlike Lu PingAn, transforming her body into a "combat beast form" strengthened rather than weakened her.
