Phase Two Boss 2/4

Marduk looked down in horror and was shocked to find that a long black worm had somehow climbed up his arm and was biting his hand.

Immediately, a gnawing sound came from ahead, and the golden flames enveloping the Fate Tablet shook violently.

"Get out of my way!"

Caught between two attacks, the King of Ten Thousand immediately gathered the divine power that had been dispersed among his opponents, including Quetzalcoatl and the Jaguar Man, causing the surrounding ether to tremble.

Ziusudra and Samael were immediately blasted away, crashing back to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

"They all deserve to die! They all deserve to die!"

"Flame of Destiny!"

Marduk was furious. His actions repeatedly went out of control, causing his expression to twist and his face to contort as he raised the Fate Tablet with a ferocious look.

"Puff..."

However, the light and flames born from the Fate Tablet flickered violently before suddenly collapsing, some even sticking to Marduk's body.

"Snap!"

At that moment, a strange, crisp, trembling sound came from the left hand.

The moment the King of Kings extinguished the golden divine flames, he turned his head in astonishment and stared intently at the spiderweb-like cracks spreading across the Fate Tablet, as well as the missing third of the lower right corner!

"Creak... creak..."

"Gurgle..."

The atmosphere on the field was tense. A crowd of incredulous eyes looked at the black-haired figure who had gotten up from the ground, his cheeks puffed out, and the sounds of grinding his teeth and swallowing coming from his mouth.

"Belch!!!"

The long, resonant burp made everyone's hearts pound and their lips twitch violently.

"You beast! Look what you've done!"

Marduk's eyes were bloodshot, his expression was distorted, and his voice gradually became hoarse.

"I curse you to be lower than all livestock and wild beasts!"

"I curse you to spend your entire life crawling on the ground, feeding on dirt and filth!"

Samael stroked his slightly protruding belly, his expression strange, and kindly offered a reminder.

"Well, snakes crawl on the ground, and I just ate dirt, so you won't get the same result even without cursing."

"I said, let's face reality."

"Oh, by the way, if you don't want the other half, you can give it to me."

"Although the taste of the meat was a bit unpleasant, it was quite filling."

Gilgamesh laughed wildly with pleasure, but his abdominal muscles twitched.

"Hahahaha! Your most relied-upon Fate Tablet has actually been destroyed in the mouth of a snake. How ridiculous!"

"It seems that adding something beyond my control to the script of destiny back then has indeed given me the most delightful performance!"

Out of control? A rebel!

No wonder this snake could pass through the Flame of Destiny, no wonder it could destroy the Fate Tablet!

Marduk's entire body was writhing in flames, and smoke billowed from his seven orifices.

Under normal circumstances, even if such a rebellious individual were to grow up by chance, he would not be able to get close to the King of Kings and harm the Fate Tablet; such a thought would be delusional.

However, the script, which was designed, kept going wrong due to the interference of those who defied fate.

Just as he had used up all his divine power to suppress those powerful enemies and his mental defenses plummeted, an unexpected crisis suddenly struck.

An assassin infiltrates the crowd as a feint to draw attention, then the snake seizes the opportunity to approach and destroy the Fate Tablet!

Marduk looked at the large hole that had exploded on the back of the half-snake body next to the Origin Mother Tiamat, and the skin that had shriveled into a thin layer, which almost made him vomit blood.

Shameless! Utterly shameless!

Mother of Hundred Beasts, flesh and blood armor, molting and regeneration!

The snake wasn't dead at all. It knew it was going to attack Tiamat, so it lay down on the road, half-disguised, waiting for its chance.

Marduk turned his head and looked menacingly at the old man, who stood with his sword in hand, his robes fluttering in the wind. He was furious.

"Ziusudra! I have granted you longevity and washed away your sins, yet you dare to betray me!"

The old man slightly raised his head, revealing his ancient face beneath his hood, his voice hoarse and cold.

"Gifts? You have long since fallen, but out of fear of humanity's growth, you have repeatedly unleashed world-ending calamities, taking upon yourselves the destiny of all things!"

"As long as the gods exist, so will the great thieves!"

"If you truly follow the will of Heaven, you shall sink into the Inner Sea of Stars and sleep eternally in the eons, never again interfering with the fate of Heaven and Earth!"

"However, you have been seduced by power, oppressing the world, and your gods have fallen; you have become demons!"

"When the time is ripe, when the Evening Bell bells toll, it will be the day of your death, you sinners!"

Moreover, what's more, is the forgiveness of sins and the granting of longevity?

Hmph! You're just an example of how to make the sheep obey! What pity?

Ziusudra's gaze was cold and his expression disdainful; he had long seen through the ugly face of the Babylon gods.

These are a bunch of parasites World Bubble!

Marduk's breathing became labored, and he roared through gritted teeth.

"You bastards! You're all ungrateful bastards!"

"You dare to attempt to judge me! What do you defeated soldiers have to stand against me!"

"Even if only half a Fate Tablet remains, I will still be the King of Kings and the God of Gods!"

Under that thunderous gaze, the surrounding atmosphere vanished.

"I say, Lord Marduk, your hand seems to be trembling..."

A soft whisper drifted over, and the irritable god instinctively looked down. However, halfway through his movement, Marduk suddenly froze.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that even controlling the Fate Tablet hasn't given you much of a sense of security."

"After seizing divine authority and usurping the Mandate of Heaven, you must be living in constant fear, Marduk, the King of Kings?"

Samael walked past his extremely weak comrades, stroked his chin, looked up at the towering golden figure, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

"Or perhaps I should call you by a different name..."

"The Creator Father— Apsu!"

What!

An eerie silence descended upon the scene, and everyone wore expressions of astonishment. The majestic and proud deity was surrounded by shimmering light, and his facial muscles twitched violently.

"The original script you wrote was not about destroying humanity."

"The plan is to use human hands to destroy the true human of the Fate Tablet — Tiamat, the Goddess of Destiny!"

"I just never expected that because of my appearance, fate would no longer be under your control. With that loving heart, Mother Goddess resisted the instinct to step into the trap and fight with her offspring!"

Samael, his face grim, threw the broken clay tablet recording the location of Apsu's seal in front of Marduk.

After the Earth God Ea tricked and killed the creator father, he sealed his remains underground, and the Temple of Ea built.

However, on the back of the document are the visit records left by Quetzalcoatl.

Legend has it that shortly after Apsu's death, the source of wrath, Tiamat, led Eleven Demon Beasts to admonish the gods.

At that very moment, the wife of the earth Earth God Ea gave birth to their son Marduk in the temple.

Furthermore, the well that leads to the abyss and connects to the Divine Foundation of Apsu was once used to baptize this divine son.

Even more coincidentally, Marduk, who had just grown up, joined the war of the Creator God, with the clear purpose of seizing the Fate Tablet from Kingu's neck and stamping it with his own seal.

Even before the war began, Marduk used the divine power of storms and thunder to forge bows and weapons capable of tearing the ocean apart.

Mother Goddess Tiamat feared even by the Triad of Gods, was actually defeated by a mortal deity.

Isn't all of this too much of a coincidence?

Therefore, following his former form Apsu, this is the next stage boss, and this is Marduk's true form.

But that's still not all!
