The earthquake-like tremors traveled to a depth of sixty meters underground.
"I am eternal, the being that consumes the world."
The Pennywise Pennywise used a giant cockroach to pry open a ten-meter-deep layer of mud, bit by bit, as if he were digging out a mouse hole.
The clouds in the sky drifted quickly into the distance, and dark clouds reappeared over Derry.
A raging wind rose from the edge of Derry, stirring up the river and causing floods that poured into the town center.
"A bunch of lowly insects!" it roared, its nightmarish spider body sinking slightly, a spider form that even the villains living in the eighteenth level of hell could not imagine.
Boom!
This cave, which has existed for millions of years, is constantly collapsing on the surface, which has been peeled away to reveal a convex shape.
Pennywise Pennywise was trembling all over, his jaws scraping against the air with a whooshing sound, and he roared excitedly:
"Fear! Scream!"
"You.!"
It suddenly stopped, its terrifying form stiffened, and its tone was filled with astonishment:
"What... what is this thing?"
The Pennywise was dumbfounded.
Because its menacing forelimbs, the cockroach, suddenly felt powerless and lost its strength when it tried to stir up the soil.
As if someone were helping it, the remaining mud layers were easily pushed and pried open, revealing the terrifying burrow that had been hidden for millions of years to the air.
But what should have been the 22 worms that forced it to consume its stored high-quality food for countless years at the bottom of the burrow!
What on earth is this thing that's been dug up?
It stared blankly at the monster in front of it.
The figure before them was a dark red form, measuring a full fifty-five meters tall even when crouching.
It rose up piece by piece from the pit.
With each movement, the dull thuds of countless vines stretching taut echoed throughout his body.
These muffled sounds overlapped, like the drumbeats struck by the King of War as he revived.
The dark red figure stood up faster and faster, its movements becoming increasingly nimble.
Its countless flesh-colored vines twisted together, forming six muscular arms.
The head was adorned with a crown-like ring, with a horizontal branch growing from the forehead like a headband.
Four grayish-red leaves overlapped and hung from the headband, drooping down naturally to form a natural face covering its eyes and chin.
In its three hands on the left, it holds three bucket-shaped containers that resemble caskets or funnels.
The surface of the container was reinforced by layers of branches, forming a huge, thick object, like a giant's meteor hammer.
Inside the sealed funnel, there was a gurgling sound of water vibrating, and a fishy smell emanated from it.
As the colossal figure stood upright, exposed to the sky...
Pennywise then saw the creature before him clearly: a faceless, six-armed, bizarre Buddha statue, a mixture of plants and flesh.
"Weren't you looking for me?!"
Wu Heng's indifferent voice emanated from within the giant Buddha.
Upon hearing this, the Pennywise's crimson spider eyes flickered slightly, and the red light intensified.
"This isn't the kind of power you should have; you've fouled!"
Its massive spider body retreated slightly, crouching on the ground to gather strength. Even this slight movement caused the ground to tremble, like an elephant scraping against a car.
"I can let you go!" the Pennywise said.
The gale and mist surrounding Derry seemed to have been opened into an invisible passage. Strange fish and other creatures floating in the mist fell straight to the ground when they reached the invisible passage, their green blood staining a true 'green path'.
"Okay, I'll leave now!" Wu Heng replied.
The Pennywise clown spider lay prone on the ground, its tense muscles relaxing slightly as it stared intently at the grotesque Buddha before it.
But after the priest finished speaking, the ghost Buddha remained standing in the same spot, without making any move.
"Why aren't you moving?" the Pennywise asked angrily, spewing out strings of white foam. The foam fell to the ground, like a species with only a fleeting life, merging into the soil and disappearing in an instant.
"Wait a moment, I can't decide this on my own, I'm discussing it with others," Wu Heng continued, stalling for time.
He knew that the Pennywise was limited by this world and had limited energy. Although he had devoured a large amount of stored food, he would eventually get hungry. So, every little bit of time he could buy him was precious.
"Fine, fine, if you won't leave, I will!"
"Pennywise the Pennywise roared in exasperation."
Its crouching body arched slightly, and its eight limbs slowly moved backward.
The cave, which had stood for millions of years, had collapsed. Although it was restricted by the world from leaving Derry, it had discovered a loophole: the Maturin had not limited its depth.
It can dig downwards; the Earth is round, and it can dig through to reach the other side of the land.
"No, you can't leave either!"
Seeing that he could no longer delay, Wu Heng used a funnel-shaped object in the giant Buddha's left hand, attached to a vine, to smash it down on the giant spider's face like a meteor hammer.
Pfft!
Pennywise's front cockroaches crossed and plunged into the giant funnel, stopping Wu Heng's attack.
The funnel was punctured by the forelimbs, and a reddish-black liquid mixed with the rotting bones flowed out, seeping into the ground, causing the soil to tremble slightly.
It used its forelimbs to hold the funnel in place, then opened its jaws and bit at the branch that was pulling the funnel.
The funnel was bitten off directly, and Wu Heng pulled back the bare branch. At the broken part, a new funnel was growing rapidly and was already the size of a millstone.
"You're lying, you damn brat!"
The Pennywise Pennywise, dragging his massive body, no longer displayed the same menacing demeanor as before, but instead retreated steadily.
Wu Heng threw out the remaining two funnels, which were then pierced by the retreating spider cockroaches, causing blood to flow all over the ground. The funnels were then torn apart and swallowed by the giant mandibles.
"Father, he's trying to run away!"
"It wants to avoid war."
Mike Hanlon and Bill Denbrough's urgent voices rang out; they were positioned at the second and third hands on the left, respectively, and their bodies had been moving as they dropped the funnel.
"This time we must completely destroy it." Ben Hans clenched his fist and said fiercely. He was now full of courage and ashamed of his suicidal behavior when he first met the priest.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Wu Heng replied calmly, still controlling the giant Buddha-like Swine Two, swinging the funnel and pressing forward step by step.
"Now!" Wu Heng thought to himself.
"Heh heh, now's the time!" Pennywise roared.
The instant Pennywise roared, his forelimbs melted instantly, like foam boards that had come into contact with gasoline. His two front jaws disappeared completely, leaving only four limbs.
But its massive abdomen suddenly inhaled and contracted tightly, pulling back slightly.
Deep beneath Wu Heng's feet, a massive, interwoven net, hundreds of times stronger than steel bars, was being pulled together by the tail end of Pennywise's abdomen.
Like a hunter's giant net trap, it firmly confined the giant Buddha- Swine Two inside.
The Pennywise was about to use his spider legs to pierce the giant Buddha and release venom, stared in astonishment at its vanished limbs.
at the same time,
The instant Pennywise's two forelimbs disappeared, the ground beneath it began to undulate, and thick vines sprouted from the ground, rapidly climbing along its remaining six legs and wrapping around its body.
These vines resembled long snakes, their entire bodies carrying a paralyzing effect that rendered the Pennywise's spider-like form immobile.
The two giants were once again locked in a stalemate.
turn out to be,
The two funnels that Wu Heng threw out at the back were defective.
He used the illusion created by Swine Two to communicate with two of the candidates.
Both men Fearless despite their serious illnesses. One wanted to leave a legacy for his wife and daughters whom he had abandoned when he was young, while the other wanted to seek aid for a fellow cancer patient who was still recovering.
Wu Heng stated that the prize money has been credited to his account.
That was indeed the case. Before they set off, Wu Heng had already arranged for someone to handle all their problems and ensured that the full amount would be received, in order to dispel their concerns.
After their discussion, they, who only had a few days left to live, made their choice.
Having witnessed the Pennywise's evil, the two of them chose to sacrifice themselves, bearing the conviction of death.
The two merged into the second and third funnels respectively, turning into blood.
The liquid in the second funnel embodies the belief in dissolving the Pennywise.
The third one is paralysis and confinement.
When the Pennywise punctured them, the liquid leaked out, not only triggering the martyrs' beliefs and merging into the flesh and blood of the earth, but also being nurtured by the vines that Swine Two extended underground.
The Pennywise Pennywise had the same purpose; from the moment he saw the Giant Buddha, he deliberately feigned weakness.
It crouched down and backed away step by step.
In reality, the spider tucks its abdomen, specifically the tail, into the ground to create a web trap underground.
They lured Wu Heng into pursuit, causing him to fall into a trap.
These two colossal creatures, each over 100 meters tall,
From beginning to end, however, they were only thinking about setting traps, and had no intention of confronting each other head-on.
"We're all tied up, let's untie ourselves!"
The Pennywise, wrapped up like a hundred-meter-long rattan ball, stared at Wu Heng, who was also bound into a ball of spider webs, and spoke in a consultative tone.
"Fine, let me go first!" Wu Heng said calmly.
"Release them all at once!"
"Okay, I'll count to three."
"OK!"
"Why won't you let go?" Wu Heng asked, staring at the motionless Pennywise after counting to three.
"That's because you didn't let go either!" The Pennywise's eyes flashed red, and he spat out a lot of white bubbles again, like a thirsty crab.
"Since that's the case, let's leave it at that!"
"Have you ever heard this saying?" Wu Heng said coldly at first, then followed up with a question.
"What?" Pennywise the Pennywise, who was spewing out even more white foam, asked, seemingly out of curiosity.
Around Derry, the gale began to turn into a tornado, carrying countless strange fish like a Gear reaching to the heavens, swirling towards the center of Derry.
Directly facing the direction of the Pennywise giant spider.
"That means there are seven babies on one vine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Heng, controlling Swine Two, vigorously tore at one of the spider web holes.
"All of you, concentrate your faith on this leg!" Wu Heng stuffed one of the evil Buddha's legs out of the net hole.
The giant legs formed by the twisted roots of the gnarled vines quickly extended outwards, growing continuously, and approached the Pennywise clown spider. From the instep of the giant Buddha's leg, new shoots and branches sprouted and grew rapidly.
A new body sprouted from it, growing rapidly.
The legs that stretched out like spider webs acted as a transport pipe, transporting Wu Heng, the bronze Buddha body of Swine Two, and the rest of the people into their new bodies.
The giant Buddha, bound to its spot, became an empty shell.
The newly formed giant swung its elephant-sized fist and pounded hard on the giant spider, which was wrapped in a vine ball and still unable to move.
Rumble rumble rumble--!
Like the vibrations of quarrying, the sound echoed throughout the Derry, startling countless strange fish of all sizes. Knowing nothing of fear, they swarmed toward the town center at the sound.
"It hurts! Stop hitting me! Let me go back! That's my order! I'm begging you!"
The Pennywise's massive jaws clenched together, and it Scream again; it felt the pain.
Perhaps it is because it has been creating pain and feeding on pain for so long, yet it has never experienced pain itself.
It tried to break free, shrinking to the ground, just like before.
"Shut up! You look beautiful when you're in pain!" Wu Heng said calmly.
"Let me go, I'm leaving and I won't come back, I'm in so much pain, so much pain, so much pain," it howled.
"No, your perception of pain is only one aspect. There is much more pain, let me show you!" Wu Heng paused his attack for a moment and gently stroked the spider's head.
The Pennywise spider, whose head hair resembled a steel brush, trembled slightly.
As the spider's red light faded, Wu Heng raised his enormous fist once more. Everyone inside the giant Buddha roared inwardly, their fist imbued with the power of faith and fearlessness.
This combined power of everyone is like a giant ship.
Amidst the spider's Scream, a fist slammed into the writhing, damp flesh, the arm plunging straight in all the way to the shoulder.
Its head was shot through.
Wu Heng pulled his arm out, his fist dripping with the black blood of the spider. Pus gushed from the wound he had pierced, mixing with the white foam in his mouth to form a puddle of liquid, just like barley beer.
The kind where you can drink and get refills all you want.
"I... I can make you the king of Earth. I can grant you immortality, just let me go, let me go, let me go--!" the spider muttered intermittently.
Its outer rocky shell cracked, oozing a pus-like substance resembling oil.
Wu Heng and the spider locked eyes, and he sensed its emotional language and behavior, which was contradictory yet felt like a direct transmission of emotions.
"I understand how you feel!"
"But look at you, you're like an interesting blind box that's been opened, and I can't wait to keep opening more!"
Wu Heng loosened his fist, then inserted his hand along the wound on the spider's head, feeling inside its body.
Tearing, prying, ripping, pulling, digging—searching for the source of its pain!
His hands, covered in bodily fluids, opened and closed repeatedly, pulling out a bunch of brain matter, stomach tubes, lungs, and poison glands. His Adam's apple was enlarged, and his lungs were swollen from being stretched.
Bang bang bang bang!
A sound came from inside the spider's body.
"I touched it!"
Wu Heng spoke in a serious tone, as if he were a doctor treating a patient.
He clenched his fist and pinched a slippery, bouncy, inverted pear-shaped object that was throbbing and pulsating.
"No. No, no, no, no, no!"
"Of course! Let us see what treasure it is!" Wu Heng reached out and snapped off the connecting tube. A stream of hot, sticky liquid, like a tap turned on, poured onto his hand from the broken end of the tube.
