In the distant depths of space, the stars are silent.
The golden sun, with unstoppable force, pushed the blood-red celestial body away from Bernardo.
Garos's six massive arms held Omen Star firmly in place, its claws digging deep into flesh and blood. At the same time, the Gravity Field extending from beneath the claws acted like an invisible net, enveloping the entire planet.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Under the continuous pressure of the Gravity Field, the surface of the Omen Star was constantly torn apart and peeled off. Pieces of flesh were ripped off the planet by an invisible force. As soon as they were separated from the body, they were burned to ashes in the golden light, leaving not even a trace.
Round and round.
Its volume is shrinking.
The entire planet's flesh and tissue are being peeled away layer by layer, as if being repeatedly scraped by an invisible giant blade under the peeling of the Gravity Field.
Even so, it is still despair-inducingly large.
Even after the surface of a planetary-scale celestial body has been worn away and a considerable portion of its tissue has been shorn away layer by layer, what remains is still so enormous that it is suffocating, enough to deter any being on Bernardo.
The abilities of ordinary Immortal One in the Material Plane are simply no match for such an existence.
Apart from the Red Emperor Pale Star, who is currently confronting it.
Garos did not relax for a moment.
Although he had the upper hand, pushing and tearing the Omen Star apart without any resistance, he could also sense that the fleshy planet under his claws was not just simply heavy.
Beneath the muscle-fiber-like tissue, something seemed to be awakening.
At that very moment.
As if to verify Garos's guess, a will suddenly resounded in his ear.
Aged, grand.
It seemed to have existed since the beginning of the universe, traversing endless ages, falling directly into his consciousness, and transforming into a voice that only Immortal Life could understand.
"I originally thought this would be an easy harvest."
"A remote Living Planet, a group of tiny creatures living with shallow understanding—I've crushed many such goals in the past, and I thought this time would be no different, just like countless times before."
"But I never expected that you would be standing right in front of me."
The voice paused for a moment, then a look of amazement appeared in it.
"A life as insignificant as dust has actually reached this point, gaining the right to contend with me."
"The times are changing so fast, and things are developing so rapidly."
"Once again, you amazed me."
Garos was not surprised at all by the appearance of this voice.
From the moment he first guessed that there was a Wild God behind the Frenzied Flame, he was somewhat prepared. Later, as his understanding deepened, he became even more certain of this. He had long known that this guy had a will and was not some inanimate object.
"No need for exclamations."
The giant arm of the Red Iron Dragon pressed against the Omen Star, its muscles bulging, as it spoke softly.
"You, who have traveled from countless light-years away across deep space to stand before me, are the true challenger."
"And frankly, you're too late."
"If it were a hundred years earlier, I might have found it somewhat troublesome, but you chose this moment to come, and now I've reached the limits of the Material Plane, so I'm invincible."
He held no contempt for the Omen Star.
Before it actually arrived in Bernardo, Garos had a premonition that it would be a fierce and difficult battle, after all, the opponent was an Wild God that had existed since the beginning of the universe, had gone through countless years, and had crushed countless lives.
But when it actually appeared before him, he remained as cautious as ever, with only one intense thought remaining in his mind.
Victory will be mine!
Do not underestimate your opponent, but at the same time, maintain an unwavering belief in your own victory.
Only in this way can one maintain high morale and focus during battle, without wavering due to the ancient Wild God identity of the opponent.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon's muscles bulged violently.
Click click click!
All six giant arms swelled up, tendons bulging, and large chunks of muscle bulged and tightened beneath the scales.
This wasn't because he was using any skill or activating a special form; it was simply an adaptive change his body made as it continuously received information that it was "fighting against a planet."
Meanwhile, in this confrontation, the flesh beneath his scales was rapidly adapting and evolving, and every inch of his bones was being reorganized and strengthened for this struggle.
The dragon's entire body became stronger, and its ability to manipulate and control the Gravity Field increased accordingly.
In the past, even with the Battle Dragon ability, Garos wouldn't have been able to Adaptive Evolution so quickly in battle.
But things are different now.
After Adaptive Evolution and evolving into Divine Power, in addition to the powerful effects of that Divine Power, all other aspects of Garos were also enhanced, bringing him to a higher level overall.
As the giant arm expands, the Gravity Field becomes even more distorted.
The Omen Star was pushed even further away.
Its enormous size was also shrinking at a visible rate, with large chunks of flesh being peeled off and turned to ashes. As the entire crimson celestial body was pushed and flew sideways, it gradually became thinner in deep space.
In response, the will of the Wild God resounded once more, the astonishment in its voice fading somewhat.
"Me? The challenger?"
"Ah, an interesting way of putting it."
As if recalling something, the Wild God chuckled softly, a slight ripple appearing in his previously calm and unwavering will.
"I have witnessed the Primordial Chaos of the universe, and I have seen stars born under my gaze, only to extinguish and turn to dust one by one over the long years."
It said slowly, "I have witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, and countless self-important beings have shown their prowess to me in various ways, but in the end, they all turned into ashes in deep space, while I still exist."
"And you, a tiny thing whose life is as fleeting as a moment."
"Who do you think you are worthy of being challenged by me?"
Even though this Wild God was clearly at a disadvantage, being pushed back and constantly shrinking in size, he still did not regard Garos as an opponent of the same level as himself.
In its mind, the other party was nothing more than a newcomer who barely managed to stand in front of it thanks to the legacy of the times, and was not worthy of its attention at all.
And it certainly has the right to say such things.
Compared to it, Garos is far too young, less than a thousand years old. In the perception of the Wild God's time, it is not much different from a moment, merely a fleeting instant.
"Is that so? How arrogant."
Garos could naturally sense the contempt for him from the will of the Wild God, as if it were looking down on him from a superior position.
This is something he rarely experiences.
In the battles he had encountered before, such as the Hellfire Lord, although they were opponents, he still maintained a certain degree of respect for powerful enemies. However, this Wild God did not take him seriously at all.
Even with the dragon standing right in front of it, it still seemed to see him only as a slightly stronger insect.
But Garos wasn't surprised.
It would be abnormal if this guy respected him.
The inheritance also mentions that these Primordial Wild God are all incredibly stubborn.
While reminiscing about their past glories, they are unable to accept the reality of the ever-advancing times. They regard themselves as ancient and noble beings, despised even by the gods, let alone an Immortal One from Material Plane.
Of course, there are also Primordial Wild God who are not stubborn.
But these beings had already chosen to stand in the camp of the gods and become one of them.
In other words, according to the current definition of Wild God, all Wild God must be extremely arrogant, because Wild God that is not arrogant is no longer Wild God.
But knowing it is one thing.
Garos has no intention of backing down in the clash of words and will.
He would say with a disdainful tone, "That insignificant thing you speak of, with its fleeting life, has, in what you call a mere instant, reached the same level as you in the Material Plane."
"Ha, if long years equate to power, then why are there countless gods hanging high above the Multiverse?"
"And Wild God like you can only hide in the Material Plane, barely surviving, using past glories and worthless antiquity to whitewash a defeat that was already decided long ago."
Just because they are old, do they dare to bully "young people like me"?
Garos was not accustomed to it.
If he were in Outer Planes, he would definitely avoid this Ancient One, since an Ancient One would be far too powerful Outer Planes. But in the Material Plane —where everyone is on the same level, who's afraid of whom?
He directly countered with the most cutting remarks, attacking its weakest points.
Red Iron Dragon's words hit the nail on the head.
The facts are undeniable, and no matter how much the Wild God claim to be ancient and noble, they cannot refute them.
The gods won, the Wild God lost; this was an unchangeable outcome after the Dawn War.
It fell silent.
Strangely, while its Frenzied Flame can Rage all things and even drive Immortal One to madness, the source of this Frenzied Flame remains completely calm, showing no anger whatsoever, even when subjected to such a heart-wrenching attack from Garos.
Garos continued, "Oh, let me correct you. Being old-fashioned isn't without value. At the very least, you have a good ability to manage your emotions. Perhaps you've become accustomed to this kind of talk after so many failures."
Press the attack!
In this clash of wills and words, Garos seized upon the Wild God's weakness and launched a fierce attack, uttering one sentence after another until it was speechless.
A few seconds later, its voice rang out again.
Your vision is as insignificant as you are.
"You can only see the present moment, the immediate present, and the small achievements in your short life."
"And I, having lived through the past, exist in the present, and can even see the future."
After a pause, the Wild God said firmly, "Those gods who stole our positions, their Victory and Glory are merely temporary illusions in the cracks of time. The heavens and the universe will eventually return to their original chaos, to the destiny of us Wild God."
"It's just a pity—"
You won't have the chance to see this beautiful scene.
The moment the words left his mouth.
The Omen Star suddenly trembled.
On the surface of the entire fleshy celestial body, mountain-like muscle blocks rose up, twisted and intertwined, forming a continent-like limb, a humanoid outline—one of the limbs fiercely covering the Red Iron Dragon.
Alarm bells rang in Garos's mind.
With a flap of his wings, his entire body was propelled backward by the surging Dragon Qi, widening the distance between him and the Omen Star.
Meanwhile, as Garos regained his footing...
The Omen Star disappeared.
Or to be more precise, its planetary form disappeared.
Now appearing before Garos was a colossal god, entirely blood-red.
The muscle fibers, devoid of skin, were exposed in the vacuum. The dark red surface of the muscle was covered with tangled blood vessels. It was humanoid, with an upright torso, thick and long limbs, and a chest as broad as several continents. Its face was empty except for a pair of deep-set, hollow eye sockets.
The next moment.
A flame ignited within his eye socket.
The giant god came to life.
Immortal Realm aura permeated the air, staining the starry sky crimson, and even the light from distant Star dimmed in that instant.
Is this its true form?
Red Iron Dragon narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling an immense and overwhelming aura rushing towards him, a level far beyond that of the Immortal One he had faced before.
Under the suppression of the rules of the Material Plane, the Immortal One can only exert the limit of level 40.
However, setting aside their richer skills and more powerful Divine Power, the essential nature of life itself among the Immortal One is also vastly different.
Just like the Wild God before my eyes.
Its body is like a planet, and its racial stats are so high that they are beyond the reach of normal Immortal One. However, Garos is also Celestial Life and is at the same level as it, which is why Garos is so powerful.
In some ways, he already possessed a body comparable to that of Wild God.
"The gods feared me and called me Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations."
"Remember this name."
"It will be the last thing you see in your life."
Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations.
Although its body had been torn apart and stripped of many layers by Garos, the remaining part was still so large that it could not be measured by conventional scale.
At this distance, all Garos could see with the naked eye was a sea of crimson flesh filling his entire field of vision, as if the entire universe had transformed into a wall of flesh and blood, with dark red muscle fibers all around, making it hard to breathe.
Only when his Eye of True Sight and perception swept over it simultaneously could he catch a glimpse of its entirety.
The colossus of this planet, a celestial being, was looking down at him with its head bowed, the flames in its eye sockets burning like pupils.
Garos could sense its power.
While its previous planetary form was also oppressive, it seemed to be merely a disguise. Now, it is a truly ancient being that has awakened from the long years.
If it were still the era of Destiny Rank Legendary.
Garos could defeat ordinary Immortal Realm, but he was no match for such a Wild God, even in the Material Plane under the suppression of the rules.
However, he is now Immortal Realm.
Red Iron Dragon was not afraid.
He even smiled.
roar!!
The Red Iron Dragon raised its head and roared silently.
The Gravity Field around it twisted and expanded once more, and the Shining Form golden light radiated outwards, being stretched and shaped within the chaotic Force Field, eventually coalescing into the outline of a colossal dragon, majestic and solemn.
The golden dragon spread its wings, its size in no way inferior to the Wild God opposite it.
It roared silently.
At the center of the golden light, the tiny, shimmering dragon flapped its wings and launched an attack on the Wild God.
Dragon Qi burst forth from its body, and the radiant dragon transformed into a golden stream of light, instantly approaching the colossal body of the Wild God, its target being its massive head.
The dragon silhouette formed by the distortion of light and Gravity Field was merely an illusion.
Garos's true size at this time was about 100 meters, which was already a behemoth in the eyes of ordinary life forms, enough to make mortals on the ground look up to it.
However, compared to the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations, this size is almost negligible.
When he charged toward the Wild God, it was like a grain of sand thrown at a mountain. Their sizes were completely different, but his speed was too fast. The Dragon Qi trailed a tail of light behind him, and the entire deep space seemed to be torn apart by this light, dazzling and eye-catching.
The flames in the eye sockets of the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations flickered slightly as it watched the tiny being that dared to raise its claws at it.
"The courage of an ant is commendable, but that's all."
It did not dodge.
However, the flames in its eye sockets suddenly intensified, flickering and burning brightly, piercing through the physical barrier and directly imprinting themselves on the Red Iron Dragon's soul.
The next moment.
Formless and colorless, a ball of flame preceded all attacks, landing in Garos's consciousness and beginning to burn.
In an instant, rage surged through Garos's mind.
His anger towards the jinx, and even the pent-up frustration of many years, became fuel—all the emotions that could be ignited were set ablaze, scorching his reason wildly.
Garos has an iron will and is extremely resistant to the Frenzied Flame.
But the raging Rageflame burning him now were on a completely different level from the Frenzied Flame he had endured before; even he found it difficult to withstand.
Divine Power: Rageflame.
Anger that cannot be contained, flames that cannot be extinguished.
Any living being, whether or not it possesses emotions, can become fuel for Rageflame. When Rageflame burns the heart, even the strongest will will melt away. If it is directed at a being that is already prone to anger, the effect of the Divine Power will be magnified many times over.
Trait: Eternal Will.
The will of the Wild God, tempered by the Primordial Chaos of the universe, is immune to mental attacks and soul erosion. You firmly believe in everything you believe in, and even the gods cannot shake your Eternal Will.
The Rageflame Divine Power is not entirely a Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations.
However, this Wild God can still use the Rageflame Divine Power to a certain extent, and the effect of this Divine Power is not fixed, but closely related to itself. The stronger the user's will, the stronger the power of the Rageflame burning the heart.
The Wild God also possesses Eternal Will, and its rage burns exceptionally fiercely.
Under its crushing will, the Rageflame engulfed Garos's will like a vast ocean.
The dragon's charging body suddenly froze, losing control of its form.
The Omen Wild God instantly seized this opportunity.
Its palms clenched into fists, a massive fist that blotted out the sky, carrying planetary mass and power, and it smashed into the Red Iron Dragon with a simple and unadorned manner, hitting him head-on.
boom!
Deep space seemed to tremble.
The dazzling light was almost shattered by this punch, and golden flames scattered in all directions.
The dragon was struck head-on by a real planet, its body tumbling and flying backward in the vacuum, leaving a straight line in the dark space. Its crimson scales shattered and rolled up, revealing the dark flesh beneath, and a stream of scalding blood gushed from its mouth.
The power of the Wild God is evident.
Garos managed to steady himself, flapping his wings a few times to stop his retreat.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The blow and the pain from the Shatter dragon scales brought him back to some clarity from his Rage. The blood flowing from between the scales began to burn, and the wounds healed at a visible speed. Shatter scales fell off, and new scales grew.
Injuries are unavoidable.
However, Garos is not so easily dealt with.
For a moment, Wild God was surprised by this.
Its attack just now seemed simple and unadorned, but in fact it had used Divine Power that ordinary things could not perceive, causing the Red Iron Dragon to lose its ability to move and to be unable to use any defensive skills.
That punch landed squarely on him.
Under normal circumstances, this giant dragon should have been shattered into a cloud of blood mist by this attack, and its immediate destruction would have been the most normal outcome.
However, this is not the case.
The Wild God felt as if it had struck an extremely hard, indestructible object. Although it injured the Red Iron Dragon, the flesh and blood of its fist also collapsed.
"Your growth truly delights me."
"But this also means that when I gain your Divine Power, I will be able to receive even more surprises."
The Wild God struck successfully, as if it had already achieved final victory.
At the same time, before Red Iron Dragon could even catch his breath, the crimson color in his vision magnified once more.
With Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations, its planetary-sized body moving with surprising speed, leaped to his front, and its giant fist tilted down, smashing down once more.
The Rageflame swept in once more.
Garos's reason and will had barely recovered a little before they were about to be swallowed up and covered up again.
"This guy's Divine Power should be related to the mutation, but why is it this kind of Rageflame that can burn one's will?"
The dragon's thoughts raced.
He had thought that the Frenzied Flame was some special means of the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations, just like the various forms he had manifested in the past. He believed that mutation was the true Divine Power of the Omen Wild God, but through his contact just now, he realized that this was not the case.
This guy didn't use Mutation Divine Power; instead, his attacks mainly consisted of Frenzied Flame.
Its Divine Power is concentrated on burning emotions, and has little to do with changes in flesh and blood.
"The same method—used a second time—"
Time seemed to slow down. Before being completely consumed by rage, the Red Iron Dragon looked up, its eyes reflecting the ever-expanding fist of the Wild God coming towards it.
Buzz!
A ring, which only he could perceive, emerged from between his chest and suddenly spun around.
The Ring of Adaptation.
The embodiment of Garos's Divine Power.
Without a long process, as the Ring of Adaptation begins to turn, everything imposed upon it can undergo specific adaptation, thereby evolving into means of resistance or even immunity.
And so, at the very same instant.
An invisible barrier rose up outside his mind, keeping the burning flames of his soul at bay. At the same time, Garos felt his thoughts become clearer and more lucid than ever before.
Anger, pain, excitement, murderous intent----
These emotions were stripped away and pushed beyond the barrier, like watching a fire from across the river.
He could feel his negative emotions still present, but they wouldn't affect him anymore.
At the same time, a strange feeling arose.
His perspective suddenly shifted upwards, his vision constantly rising until it seemed as if he were standing in some higher dimension.
The vast and boundless starry sky shrank into a flat plane in his eyes, and the crimson giant and his golden self became moving outlines on the plane. Moreover, he could still perfectly control his body without making any mistakes.
The Rageflame still burn.
However, Garos evolved a higher-dimensional will that was no longer affected by it.
The Ring of Adaptation fell silent, then began to rotate slowly. The first rotation required no preparation, as long as it was clear that an attack had occurred. However, after that, Garos could only designate another adaptation after it had completed another full rotation.
"Um?"
The Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations noticed the change, and the flame in their eye sockets flickered.
In that very instant.
The radiant dragon, now fully sane, charged headlong into the colossal fist that was crushing the starry sky!
Thump!
In a collision between objects of billions of times different size, the concept of a direct clash simply doesn't apply.
Garos, like a red-hot steel needle, pierced into the snow.
The tiny dragon body pierced straight through the flesh of the giant fist in an instant. Its six arms folded together at its sides, and its entire body coalesced into one. With its claws as sharp points and its scales as blades, it charged forward, carrying the weight and speed of its entire body.
The muscles, tendons, and bones of the Omen Wild God were torn open layer by layer before him.
Garos intended to wreak havoc within the body of the Omen Wild God through this method.
But soon, he pierced through the wrist of the Wild God, his body covered in blood, and soared into the deep space, no longer causing destruction within its body, nor lingering there any longer.
A hole, open from front to back, was left in the giant fist.
However, this hole appeared very small on the Wild God's body, lasting for less than a breath, as the granulation tissue intertwined and the muscle fibers continued to heal.
It was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye, without even leaving a trace.
regeneration.
This is a characteristic commonly possessed by Immortal Life, but the flesh and blood regeneration of the Wild God is often more powerful than that of other Immortal Life.
At the same time, Garos did not immediately continue his attack.
He noticed something was wrong with his body.
A tingling, itchy sensation spread across my scales, as if countless tiny insects were crawling beneath them.
He glanced down at it.
On the crimson mirror-like dragon scales, tiny fleshy barbs had appeared out of nowhere, wriggling and twisting like living creatures. With the appearance of these barbs, his originally seamless and dense structure was disrupted by these growths.
The overall integrity and defense are being slowly eroded.
If he had stayed in the body of the Wild God for longer, this change would probably have penetrated deeper into his bones and become even more serious.
and.
It only passed through its flesh and blood briefly, and it became like this.
It's not so easy to get inside the body of Wild God.
This is... an anomaly?
"After I became Celestial Life, my Mutant Body was directly flattened by the dense body structure, making it very difficult to mutate again."
"I should have some resistance to this, but I still mutated."
"This should be its Divine Power effect."
"The mutation, and the previous Frenzied Flame —this guy has two Divine Power?"
Garos was assessing the battle situation, and even though the battle was fierce, from his high-dimensional perspective, stripped of his emotions, his mind worked like lightning, and he was extremely rational.
His guess was correct.
What affected his Celestial Body was the core Divine Power of the Wild God.
Divine Power: Aberrant Mutation.
Everything is subject to change, and change inevitably leads to distortion!
In its complete state, the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations can force any existence—whether life, matter, energy, or even Divine Power and Divine Authority —to undergo Aberrant Mutation.
Flesh and blood twist into monsters, metal grows tentacles, and time becomes knotted.
Wherever the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations, order is torn apart, and everything is distorted and deformed into indescribable forms.
Even within the Material Plane, and even though it cannot fully exert its Divine Power at this time, it can still cause the target to undergo abnormal changes through some contact, and these changes will inevitably be distorted and detrimental to the target.
Garos waved his claw.
An invisible Force Field swept past the dragon's body, crushing the fleshy spikes and mutated tissue.
However, this stuff isn't so easy to remove.
The sensation of being gnawed by insects still lingered on his body; the mutation at the Divine Power level was deeply ingrained.
What should we do next?
I can't penetrate its body; this thing might mutate my Divine Power. Even if I can adapt and recover, it will definitely take a long time for the Ring of Adaptation to start working again. Besides, I just used the Ring of Adaptation, and it's currently in its cooldown period.
Calm reflection can happen in an instant.
Garos made his decision.
With a flap of his wings, he swooped down again.
A gigantic fist Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations came crashing down on him.
Garos neither dodged nor avoided the collision.
But this time, he did not concentrate his power on one point.
The moment of contact, the Gravity Field covering the entire body suddenly expanded, spreading the impact force from a point to a surface, and extending along the Wild God's fist to its entire arm.
boom!
The dragon's body was as small as a speck of dust, yet its impact was as heavy as the heavens.
In essence, he wasn't much worse than Wild God.
Large cracks suddenly appeared on the fist of the Wild God, spreading from the finger bones all the way to the wrist and forearm, and bodily fluids with a strong mutation effect gushed out.
Like an ant trying to shake a tree, it actually managed to move the tree.
The enormous body of the Wild God trembled and bled.
It looked a little disheveled.
But that wasn't fatal enough. The Omen Wild God merely took a step back, and then another fist swept across, locking onto Garos.
Being small has its advantages.
Garos transformed into a golden ray of light, grazing past the gaps between the Wild God's fingers. The giant fingers closed and grasped nothing, failing to hit their target.
The Wild God's attacks are very simple; they just keep coming back and forth with their fists.
It raised its massive fist again and slammed it down towards the Red Iron Dragon.
At the same time, the Frenzied Flame Rageflame no longer focused on attacking the Red Iron Dragon's mind, but instead radiated outwards, transforming into tangible flames. The tongues of flame rolled and licked in the vacuum, turning the surrounding starry sky into a vast ocean of fire.
The Frenzied Flame licks intensified the biting sensation on Garos's body.
" The Frenzied Flame also carries the effect of mutation."
"This guy actually combined two completely different Divine Power into one? It shouldn't have reached that level; it's just a way of using them in combination."
L
Garos's thoughts raced.
The concept of inheritance mentions the fusion of different Divine Power.
This is extremely difficult, and no one has ever truly succeeded in it; at least, there is no record of it in his lineage.
As the Frenzied Flame Radiation across the starry sky, space itself underwent a strange transformation.
The original void background suddenly sprouted blood vessels and meridians, and the dark red texture grew and spread like a living thing, turning into a terrifying wall of flesh and blood.
Garos was also on the wall.
Countless limbs made of muscle fibers reached out from all directions, grabbed his body, and bound him tightly to the spot.
The giant fist of the Wild God came crashing down on him.
There was no room for maneuver.
But dodging isn't always necessary.
Red Iron Dragon spread out all six arms, gripped the invisible force line tightly, and pulled it to the side.
The massive body of the Wild God tilted slightly, its attack trajectory being forcibly deflected by half a point, grazing its dragon body and crashing into empty space.
At the same time, Dragon Aura Bomb condensed between the dragon's claws, spinning and shattering the wall of flesh and blood.
He seized the opportunity when the massive body of the Wild God couldn't easily turn around, flipped over, and slammed into the Wild God's knee. The force spread out with the Gravity Field, shattering the Wild God's knee.
Blood and bits of flesh rained down.
Garos could sense a more powerful Mutation Power than the Frenzied Flame; the closer he got, the more he was affected.
He strikes and retreats immediately, never lingering in battle.
The battle, with its vastly different sizes, continued.
Golden light swirled around the crimson colossus, like a fish swimming around a mountain, or like a golden thread piercing through the planetary flesh.
This is a very peculiar sight when viewed from the macroscopic perspective of deep space.
The colossal, immeasurably Wild God swung its limbs, causing the starry sky to tremble, while entwined around it was a shimmering dragon, as insignificant as dust before it.
Every attack from the Omen Colossus was enough to shatter the continent, yet it repeatedly missed its target, while every counterattack from the Dust, though seemingly insignificant, landed with devastating force, severely damaging its body.
Time flows through the starry sky.
Gradually, cracks began to appear all over the giant's body, his flesh constantly tearing and healing, but the rate of healing could no longer keep up with the rate of tearing.
Its body was getting more and more wounds.
Newly grown tissue often has no time to fully close before it is torn apart again by the next blow.
Body shape doesn't tell you everything.
The advantage currently belongs to the Shining Dragon, which is launching a strong attack on the Titan.
But he was not entirely unharmed.
The Frenzied Flame of Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations, the spilled flesh and blood, can pollute and distort the surrounding environment.
Although Garos was already very cautious, whenever he fought the Wild God or even just got close to it, he would be affected by its Mutation Divine Power, causing tiny deformities to grow on his body repeatedly and incurably. As a result, he was hit by the Wild God's attacks multiple times.
Due to the reduced integrity and defensive capabilities of the dragon scales.
Each attack from the Wild God caused him considerable damage; half of his scales shattered, and blood flowed down his dragon body, turning into flames to heal his wounds.
However, compared to the others, Wild God's injuries were more severe.
Not long after.
The Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations suddenly stopped moving.
It grew weary of this tedious battle, flames flickering in its eye sockets.
Eight hundred years is but a fleeting moment to me.
"And you, whose life has reached this point in an instant—you certainly deserve my serious attention."
The words had barely left his mouth.
boom!
An even more intense Frenzied Flame erupted from its body, instantly engulfing its entire form.
In the vast starry sky, the entire colossus transformed into a burning torch, its Rageflame engulfing every inch of its body.
Within the flames, its body began to shrink.
Layer upon layer of redundant flesh collapsed and burned away in the Frenzied Flame flames, and the density of the remaining tissue increased wildly. The colossus that blotted out the sky shrank little by little, eventually settling at a size much smaller than before, but still larger than the Red Iron Dragon.
At the same time, on the surface of the exposed muscles, a layer of skin rapidly grows and hardens, gleaming with a dark, rocky, metallic sheen.
Like a natural suit of armor, it completely covers flesh and blood.
Garos watched its changes and chuckled softly.
That's right.
"A challenger should act like a challenger."
He didn't hesitate at all.
Dragon Jade Ignites! Second Super Flash!
The golden light surged again, and the blood flowing from the dragon's body was evaporated and ignited before it could react, turning into dense rose-gold flames that coiled around the scales.
The two pairs of dragon horns on its head include the Horn of Force.
They multiply and meander wildly, their crown-like horns stretching backward with increasing majesty.
His body continued to grow, eventually transforming into a giant dragon with a head and tail spanning over two hundred meters.
Compared to the Wild God opposite, this size is still insignificant.
But his aura was extremely fierce, with rose-gold flames burning intensely, even forcing the Frenzied Flame fire covering the starry sky to retreat.
Amidst the rose-gold flames, the dragon spread its wings, like a new star being born.
The essence of the Shining Form is to compress a large amount of Life Energy and unleash it in an extremely short period of time.
This is a combat style that overdraws one's strength; in theory, it should be short and intense, exhausting the user's entire power within a few breaths.
However, Garos's Life Energy was so vast that this kind of explosive power, which should have been a fleeting phenomenon, gradually became a near-normal occurrence in him.
But this doesn't mean the burst of power has weakened.
On the contrary, the stronger he becomes, the stronger the effect of his Shining Form will be due to the increase in his own life quality.
On the Aura Star Network, the debate about which form of the Red Emperor is the most powerful and majestic has never stopped.
People listed all of his battle forms, from his initial base form to various later variations, comparing them one by one and arguing about them repeatedly. But in all these debates, people tacitly excluded the Shining Form from the discussion.
Because they share a consensus that needs no further explanation.
The Shining Emperor of Sacred Aura is undoubtedly the first form, possessing both power and divine majesty.
The main point of contention on Star Network is the second one.
In their view, Red Emperor shines with brilliance, no matter how powerful the enemy, they will be reduced to dust and ashes before his light.
And in the starry sky.
The Second Super Flash brought Garos more than just an increase in size and some changes in posture.
Strength, speed, scale armor strength, control over Force Field —all attributes increased dramatically. The invisible Force Field around him felt like an extension of his own body, as easy to control as an arm.
His increased strength allowed him to control more Force Field, and the enhancement of these Force Field, in turn, improved his control over the battlefield situation.
Garos lunged at the Wild God once more.
The Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations did not retreat; every wisp of flame tempered its flesh and blood. Under the Rageflame, its body, compressed and tempered, became even stronger than before.
A punch came flying in.
The massive fist of the Wild God, covered in armor and carrying Frenzied Flame, was more than twice as fast as before.
Garos crossed his six arms in front of him, and layers of Gravity Field coalesced into a shield.
Thump!
Two forces collided violently in the depths of the vacuum.
An invisible shockwave swept outwards in all directions, and the surrounding space seemed to transform into a body of water, creating visible ripples and waves that rose and fell dramatically.
Fist and shield collided, Force Field shattered the shield inch by inch.
The dragon was thrown backward by the shock, and only managed to regain its balance by flapping its wings. Deep cracks appeared on the scales of its crossed Dragon Arm, and spiderweb-like fissures appeared on the gauntlets of the Wild God as well.
"Such a sturdy body, very good."
Garos swung his Dragon Arm, sharpening it with light, then lunged forward again, even faster than before.
Or rather, he was getting faster every second than before. In addition to the leap in his Shining Form, his attributes were steadily increasing with each battle. His body was adapting to the intensity of the battle, becoming stronger every second.
The Wild God's defense and other attributes have also seen a qualitative leap.
The body forged in Rageflame elevated it to a new level.
The enemy has become stronger, which is clearly not good news.
But Garos smiled instead.
A stronger opponent is more worthwhile to defeat.
If this Wild God were to fall so easily, wouldn't the urgency and unease he felt because of it be completely meaningless, turning into a joke?
The two are similar.
The dragon swept past the Wild God's forearm, its claws carving deep furrows into the armor. The armor Shatter, and flesh was torn apart layer by layer. The Wild God's massive elbow slammed back, but the dragon dodged it, its tail lashing out in the process.
Click.
The wrist guard shattered.
The Wild God swung his hand back and pressed down with his giant palm.
The Mutation Touch!
At that very moment, the wounds that had been eroded during the previous battle suddenly burst open simultaneously.
The power of the Mutation Divine Power had been secretly infiltrating, and now it finally revealed its fangs. The dragon scales on Garos's body twisted and deformed, losing their original form in an instant and turning into flesh and blood tissue like tentacles.
These twisted, proliferating tissues, in turn, began to attack the very body they had been protecting, attempting to entangle the dragon's body.
The shimmering dragon slowed its movements.
Then, with a sudden pause, the giant hand grasped the radiant dragon.
"Things that are insignificant will eventually submit to my grasp."
The Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations whispered, and a monstrous Frenzied Flame, ignited on the giant hand, pressing down relentlessly to crush the radiant dragon.
call!
A straight Dragon Breath pierced through the thick flesh, burning a passage through it.
Before it could heal, the radiant dragon emerged from the blood hole, turned back and unleashed another breath, the Dragonflame striking the face of the Wild God, causing his flesh to sizzle.
But the next moment.
Dark red flames reignited on the armor covering the entire body of the Wild God.
Rageflame.
This time, however, the Rageflame did not burn the enemy; they surged back and engulfed the Wild God's own body.
Divine Power: Rageflame.
Besides its ability to ignite the enemy's mind and burn away their reason, it also has an effect on the user, igniting their own anger and transforming it into even greater power.
But the wrath of the Wild God was extremely fierce.
Although it appeared calm and composed when communicating with Garos, the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations were defeated and sealed away.
Exiled—enduring countless epochs of wandering in the Material Plane, their discontent and anger toward the changing times only grew stronger with each passing year.
Why are there so many races, so many lives?
It's noisy.
It's too noisy.
They reproduce, expand, fight, and perish, generation after generation, endlessly.
These tiny life forms are termites in the Multiverse, gnawing at the universe and polluting its original purity.
We, the Wild God, are the true Overlord!
We, who were born from the Primordial Chaos along with the universe, are the ones who have the right to rule this universe!
Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations gather one's anger.
It had been accumulating Rage for countless years, and now, all that rage had become fuel.
Under the cover of flames, the aura of the Wild God surged wildly.
Immediately afterwards, giant fists rained down.
The simple attacks, combined with absolute speed and power, and the burning of Divine Power, transformed into the most terrifying storm, each punch carrying Rageflame and Mutation Power.
Turn sideways, flip wings, sink, and make a sharp turn.
The giant dragon weaved through the gaps in the rain of fists.
If it's unavoidable, then grab the line of force and pull hard, causing the fist to deviate by half a point, so that the scales graz the heavy blow, leaving cracks and burn marks.
If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it.
A hook punch broke through the Gravity Field's deflection and landed squarely on his body.
Bang!
Its scales collapsed, blood spurted out, and Garos was sent flying through the air by the impact.
But as he flew out, he condensed and shaped the Gravity and Dragon Qi into a powerful spherical Dragon Aura Bomb, which struck the Wild God's chest, twisting and tearing its armor, causing a large amount of its flesh to collapse.
Both are constantly being damaged and constantly healing.
The fighting intensified.
The situation gradually became more complicated.
Garos seized an opening, and the force of the impact spread from a point to a surface, shattering one of the Wild God's arms. Before the fragments could drift far, countless threads of flesh shot out, intertwining and pulling, and in the blink of an eye, they were restored to their original state. The parts that had been burned to ashes by the rose-gold flames were directly squeezed out by new flesh to fill the gaps.
The Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations completely disregarded the injuries.
Primordial Life.
You were born with the primordial universe, you coexist with the Multiverse, your physical strength and energy reserves are infinite, injuries can be continuously healed, and consumption can be continuously replenished, any war of attrition is a situation in which you are bound to win.
This is a major source of confidence for the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations.
In contrast, consider Garos.
His Shining Form is no longer as short-lived as it was at the beginning.
Through continuous training and physical adaptation, the current Shining Form is much more durable than the original, and can be maintained for a considerable period of time in high-intensity battles, but this is ultimately a burst-type technique.
The Dragon Jade's energy is gradually dissipating; if this continues, it will eventually be exhausted.
"This is the first time I've encountered an opponent who can directly deplete my Life Energy."
" The Ancient One indeed extraordinary."
Garos thought to himself.
Although he had previously belittled the Wild God in their verbal exchanges, calling them losers and relics of the past discarded by the times, this was a strategic psychological pressure tactic, part of the battle.
He knew very well that he absolutely could not underestimate these Primordial Wild God.
No.
This guy's life force is even more vast than his own; his health bar is so long that even Garos finds it troublesome. In the past, Garoth was always the one in this position, but now he's experiencing a bit of what it's like to be an opponent.
We can't afford to waste time with it.
"If this continues, I will surely be defeated; I have no idea where its limit is."
Garos took a deep breath and made a decisive decision.
He was not idle during the time between his breakthrough to the Immortal Realm and the arrival of the Wild God.
While training and familiarizing himself with his Divine Power, he also continuously developed his skills in depth. His Immortal Body gave him more room for trial and error, allowing him to try various dangerous skill modifications.
For example, Dragon Jade.
Since he could choose resurrection and radiance, Garos discovered that the nature of the Dragon Jade's energy had fundamentally changed.
It becomes more controllable.
Under Garos's will, the Dragon Jade energy can be as warm as water, used to sustain life and heal injuries, but it can also be as violent as flames, igniting instantly when needed to unleash its power and pushing energy output to its limit.
Most importantly...
Even when he activated his Shining Form, Dragon Jade did not go berserk to the limit; Dragon Jade still retained some reserves.
But what if, in certain extreme situations, absolute power is required?
After some development and experimentation, Garos acquired a very powerful skill based on this.
However, it has a major drawback: it will damage the Dragon Jade, and it will take a long time to recover. During the recovery period, the dragon jade will be much weaker than when it is at its peak.
He wouldn't use it rashly unless there were special circumstances.
Now is the time to use it.
Burn!
In an instant, the already surging energy of the Dragon Jade was compressed and detonated by a resolute will. Garos forcibly broke through the safety restrictions of the Dragon Jade with his will, and removed all the protection mechanisms!
Click!
A voice that only Garos could hear resounded within him.
His Dragon Jade cracked and then shattered.
Jade Shatter!
The next instant, time seemed to stand still for a second, and then, flames shot into the sky.
The dragon's scales rose up one by one, and a blinding light shone through the gaps, as if a Star about to explode was hidden inside him, shining like a supernova.
In his Jade Shatter state, Garos poured almost all of his energy into a single strike.
Not only that.
The impact of the Shatter Dragon Jade brought his entire body to the brink of collapse, leaving him in a near-death state.
Therefore, the Rebirth at Death's Door, was pushed to its extreme.
Rage Sublimation, Death Incarnation... these skills are activated simultaneously, stacking layer upon layer.
In a fleeting moment.
The Radiant Dragon's attributes were amplified once again, its power soaring to an unbelievable level. And the dragon's outline, distorted by the Gravity Field centered on it, gradually solidified from nothingness.
Dragon horns, fangs, claws, and scales are all depicted in exquisite detail.
" Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations, my challenger, prepare for your end!"
The dragon roared.
The Wild God sensed the dragon's terrifying power and said, "There are many small things, but you stand out above all. I believe I will remember your name."
The two beings, existing in deep space, charged towards each other along a straight line.
A punch from the Wild God, burning with all his fury; a ramming attack from the dragon, gathering everything in its power.
There are no reservations.
boom!
The dragon and the giant god clashed fiercely.
As if a tremendous roar reverberated through the vacuum, there was a strange moment of stillness at the boundary between the Force Field and flesh.
Immediately afterwards.
The armor of the Wild God shattered, its arm bones broke, its shoulders collapsed, and its chest caved in—cracks spread wildly all over its body from the point of contact, and a huge, enormous golden dragon swept over its body.
Enter from the front and exit from the back.
boom!
Under the dragon's Jade Shatter blow, the body of the Wild God that stood in its way was completely Shatter!
Fragments scattered everywhere, each one ignited and burned in the Aura Burst of golden light, turning into scattered ashes, leaving no room for regeneration.
On the other side.
The light surrounding the dragon gradually faded, revealing the dragon, which had grown to about thirty meters in length and returned to its normal size.
Garos hung in deep space, his chest heaving violently.
He also paid a heavy price.
Its entire body was covered in cracked scales, not a single one was intact. Its energy was almost completely exhausted, and it couldn't even ignite a flame. Only scorching air rose from the gaps in its scales, distorting the surrounding starlight.
Almost not a drop was left.
Even the body's regeneration stopped; it reached its limit, the true limit.
Garos took deep breaths, trying to absorb and squeeze out as much energy as possible from the surrounding starry sky to replenish himself and barely maintain his current state.
However, the effect of this attack was also significant.
That massive Wild God was completely crushed by him, his entire body shattered, leaving not a single intact piece of tissue. All that remained was scattered ashes.
However...
Garos, however, did not relax; instead, he became even more vigilant.
From a high-dimensional perspective, he can see it.
Amidst the ashes and bits of flesh drifting in deep space, the Frenzied Flame had been completely extinguished. However, at the same moment the Frenzied Flame died down, a black light shone forth.
It was pitch black, as if it had swallowed all light, and was as round as a black sun.
It doesn't radiate any energy, yet it's impossible to look away.
The will of the Wild God still lingers in the starry sky.
Ancient, yet tinged with a hint of joy.
"O tiny dragon, you have reached your limit, shattering the shackles binding me, and this fills me with joy."
In return, you will have the privilege of becoming a part of me.
"When the Primordial Chaos descends, you will exist forever with me."
The Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations whispered with delight.
The Omen Star shattered by Garos " is not its true form.
Essentially, this is a seal.
Once, the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations an Immortal Realm being who wielded the Rageflame Divine Power.
The opposing force was extremely powerful, and like it, it could not be easily killed. The battle raged back and forth in the starry sky.
But in the end, it prevailed and achieved final victory.
However, after the Lord of Rageflame was killed by it, it burned out its Divine Power in a strange way. The anger of death turned into raging Rageflame, which attached themselves to the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations, burning its essence, and wanting to perish together with it.
Left with no other choice, the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations and transformed into a body resembling a fleshy planet.
The Rageflame permeated its flesh and blood, gradually merging with it over the long years. It simultaneously wielded the Rageflame and the Mutation Divine Power, but the problem was that these Rageflame had not been truly tamed.
Its ultimate goal is to eliminate Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations.
In its Omen Star form, it can only unleash a very limited amount of its Mutation Divine Power, and its combat relies primarily on its Rageflame Divine Power.
When the Omen Star is shattered, although it will eventually mutate into another Omen Star form to fight against the inextinguishable Rageflame, it will also gain more control over the Rageflame.
"Imprisonment?"
Garos's gaze narrowed slightly.
He didn't know what had happened to the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations.
But the fact before him was that the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations had not died. It was like a dark sun, which seemed to be its original form. As its flesh and blood shattered, it seemed to have lost a layer of protection and become a little weaker in Garos's perception. The flesh and blood before it was also a part of it.
However, it now seems to be free.
The balance between gains and losses means that although it may seem weaker overall, its danger has not actually decreased.
Garos has now reached his limit.
"It's come to this after all."
" The Primordial Wild God... truly a formidable opponent, yet you remain the true challenger."
Red Iron Dragon murmured, his gaze immediately becoming calm.
Having reached this point, there was no point in hesitating any longer. Relying solely on his Immortal Body, he was indeed still somewhat inferior to this Ancient One. Although the Wild God had been defeated, those long years had not been wasted.
However, besides Immortal One, he has another identity.
The Red Iron Dragon raised its head.
His gaze pierced through the deep space, past the drifting ashes and bits of flesh, past the ominous, sun-like Omen Wild God, and looked towards the distant horizon.
Sacred Aura.
His empire, his people, his followers.
Congratulations! You have defeated the Red Emperor Pale Star. Now, it's time to face the great Lord of Victory and Glory!
Red Iron Dragon's eyes were slightly closed.
He sensed it immediately.
From Bernardo, across the vast starry sky, across spatial distances, all obstacles converged upon him.
Belief.
Sacred Aura, with countless subjects.
They had followed him since he was still a mortal, and now they all looked up.
The Star Network broadcast footage of delayed arrivals from deep space.
They saw the golden sun, the colossal body of the Wild God, and witnessed the earth-shattering collision. Then they saw their emperor, with unparalleled arrogance, shatter the terrifying colossus completely.
Prayers and cheers, without delay, were all transmitted into the will of Garos.
"Your Majesty will surely win."
" The Red Emperor Pale Star, invincible in battle!"
" Victory and Glory belong to the Sacred Aura!"
People cheered, and countless voices converged into a torrent.
Garos could hear the voices of every subject and feel their unwavering belief in victory. In their eyes, the great Red Emperor was also the great Lord of Victory and Glory.
He had never let them down, and they believed that he would be invincible this time as well; he would ultimately triumph, and all glory would belong to him.
Garos accepted all of this.
This isn't the first time.
He could clearly feel profound changes taking place in his body.
Divinity, Divine Authority.
The power born from the prayers and trust of billions of people!
This power converged upon Garos.
Then, in the dark and deep starry sky, a pure and holy light shone forth, emanating from the dragon's body, flowing from the gaps between its scales, and shooting forth from its eyes.
His body began to swell inch by inch, undergoing a fundamental change.
Thirty meters, one hundred meters, three hundred meters, eight hundred meters—finally, in the blink of an eye, it was transformed into a giant dragon thousands of meters long under the shaping of Divinity and Divine Authority, coiled in the starry sky.
Its size is larger than when Ascension to Godhood.
Without a doubt, his Divinity Divine Authority has reached the limits of the Material Plane.
Beyond that, they cease to be beings that can fully manifest in the Material Plane, which is why Godhood were created.
But our current faith is enough.
Garos's original image was also very majestic, but he had too many ferocious and vicious features that only his people would overlook. But now, he seems to have undergone a subtle reshaping.
Flawless and majestic.
He now seems to be the ultimate form that his people could imagine in a dragon, the sum of all their fantasies, transformed into a form that combines power, majesty, wisdom, and supreme beauty.
Anyone who saw Garos at this moment would feel a sense of reverence and dare not have the slightest thought of disrespect.
Not only that.
The light flowed continuously, gradually converging above his head. On the already majestic and magnificent dragon's horn crown, the light condensed and sculpted a brand new crown.
Brilliant and dazzling, magnificent and noble.
Victory Crown.
It represents his first Divine Authority as the Lord of Victory and Glory.
victory!
The collection of all definitions and expectations of winning, an extremely powerful Divine Authority.
Immediately afterwards, a long shawl appeared from the void, passing under the dragon's armpit, wrapping around the back of its head, and slowly drifting in the starry sky, flowing with the light of the sun, carrying endless glory and nobility.
The Sash of Glory.
It represents his second Divine Authority as the Lord of Victory and Glory.
More accurately, this is a secondary Divine Authority evolved from the Victory Authority; it is Divine Authority of victory. Glory is the shadow of victory. When victory is remembered, celebrated, and transformed into hymns and epics, it becomes glory.
Even so, it is a complete divine Divine Authority.
The field it represents is equally vast.
Two major symbols, two major Divine Authority.
The Victory Crown hangs atop their heads, the Sash of Glory lies behind them; one represents the certainty of the future, the other the crystallization of the past.
Because he will surely win, he deserves glory; because he carries glory, he will surely win.
Lord of Victory and Glory, here Ascension to Godhood!
Everything seemed slow but was actually fast, all happening in the blink of an eye.
On the other side, the will of the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations was taken aback.
Immediately, sensing the earth-shattering changes in the dragon, it was filled with murderous intent!
"Deities----"
"Yet another, a worm that has stolen our dominance!"
Almost all the Primordial Wild God have a natural hostility towards gods. Their hatred is completely engraved in the depths of their souls and has not faded even after thousands of years. Every time they come into contact with the aura of a god, it will reignite their hatred.
For the first time, the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations caused a significant fluctuation in emotions.
It was furious.
At this moment, it was unable to unleash the Rageflame Divine Power; its anger was wasted and could not be transformed into its own strength.
But it's okay.
At this moment, the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations had completely taken control of their Mutation Divine Power.
Buzz!
The pitch-black sun began to distort.
The rounded outline twisted and collapsed, constantly deforming and expanding, rapidly transforming into an indescribable shape. Overall, it resembled a real Black Hole, with distorted flesh and blood patterns churning around its edges.
The next second, the Black Hole abruptly disappeared.
The next second, it appeared centered on Garos, completely engulfing and swallowing the Lord of Victory and Glory.
All senses were obscured.
All of Garos's senses were filled with darkness, but besides the darkness, there was also a radiant faith.
at the same time.
The Mutation Divine Power Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations- changing manifestations has been brought to its extreme.
Inside the Black Hole, Garos's body began to distort at an unbelievable speed.
The scales bulged and deformed, sprouting new spikes; the bones creaked and bent in the wrong direction; flesh surged beneath the scales, trying to break free of their restraints; the dragon's tail began to fork, and twisted wings appeared on its back...
The scales were twisted, the flesh was twisted.
His entire body was undergoing Aberrant Mutation.
Moreover, this is only the simplest version.
Garos's characteristics also became disordered, mutated and Fleshwarp into negative traits that were harmful to him. Even the operation of his Divine Power began to become obscure. If the mutation continued, even his essential Divine Power would be distorted into unimaginable forms.
Even the Divine Authority of the gods is within the reach of this mutation.
His Divine Authority began to be corrupted. Dark, mutated patterns began to crawl all over the dragon's head and the sacred crown of victory and cloak of glory, and the pure white light was extinguished inch by inch.
However, there was not a ripple on Garos's visor.
He is the Lord of Victory and Glory, but also the Red Emperor Pale Star.
Divinity resides within his Immortal Realm body; the two are not entirely separate.
"Mutation----"
"How many times have you used that trick on me since the start of the war?"
66
Garos asked casually.
Under the suppression of the mutation, the operation of his Divine Power has slowed down.
However, this suppression was not achieved instantly.
The more he was suppressed, the harder it was for him to adapt; but the harder it was for him to adapt, the faster he would adapt. So the slower he adapted, the faster he would adapt... In short, in the clash of Divine Power, Garos's Divine Power was in a delicate state and was not essentially affected much.
then.
His Ring of Adaptation, under the pressure and erosion of change at this time, finally completed its full rotation.
Garos remained expressionless.
As the Ring of Adaptation rotated, he assigned the Wild God's Mutation Divine Power to adapt.
boom!
Pure white holy light burst forth from the dragon's body, enveloping it layer upon layer, standing in stark contrast to the dark sun, each vying for supremacy.
In the holy light, the dragon's body was like crystal, clear and translucent.
At the same time, all the previously accumulated mutations began to dissolve inch by inch. The wriggling flesh spikes and twisted tissues all turned into black smoke and dissipated, and the crazy distortions brought about by the mutations were also suppressed.
The Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations sensed this.
It remains silent, simply operating and changing without a word.
The dark erosion surged again, and cracks and distortions reappeared on the dragon's glassy body, but ultimately, it was not as violent as before; it was just some minor, harmless changes.
It's like the tide crashing against the rocks.
It's a grand gesture, but it can't shake the fundamentals.
"My Divine Power! The Divine Power has accompanied me through countless eras since my birth, how could it be suppressed by such a young life?"
The Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations could no longer be kept silent; resentment filled their hearts.
The strength of Divine Power has nothing to do with age.
Strong is strong, and weak is weak.
Moreover, to be frank, the Divine Power of the Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations is actually not weak, and there is no distinction of superiority or inferiority between them and Garos. There is another major reason for the current situation.
Garos's Victory Authority is also in effect.
Victory: Destiny will flow towards your victorious future; no matter what difficulties or desperate situations you face, you will have the opportunity to achieve victory.
This is a powerful Divine Authority akin to causality and probability.
Under its influence, once Garos's Ring of Adaptation began to operate, it naturally began to evolve in the direction that was most powerful, most formidable, and most likely to bring him victory.
The Divine Authority of God and the Divine Power of the Immortal Realm.
At this moment, they complement each other and are mutually reinforcing.
Having only Divine Power is inherently at a great disadvantage compared to having both Divine Authority and Divine Power.
Garos's face was holy and majestic as he whispered, "Losers of the old era, remember my name, Red Emperor Pale Star, Lord of Victory and Glory! I will be the last you see; how fortunate you are."
As the words fell...
The Victory Crown and the Sash of Glory rose on their own, merging into one above the giant dragon's head.
The light extends and reshapes itself inch by inch.
Ultimately, it transformed into a sacred and extraordinary greatsword.
Its blade is broad and long, radiating a golden and white luster. The hilt is wrapped with supple fabric, and magnificent dragon wings extend from both sides of the guard. Inscriptions of victory and hymns of glory are engraved on the spine of the blade.
The Sword of Victory and Glory!
Garos extended his claws and grasped the Sword of Victory and Glory within them.
He raised his sword at the dark thing that was devouring him, and then slashed down.
Buzz!
A dazzling light pierced the darkness!
The first sword strike tore through the barrier of the Black Hole.
A thin slit was cut through the thick darkness, and pure white light shone through the crack.
The second sword strike was a horizontal slash.
The crack widened into a huge cross-shaped fissure, and the black substance was constantly being purified. No matter how much it surged, it could not regenerate or heal.
From the perspective of the vast Cosmic Starfield, this is an extremely breathtaking scene.
A huge black sphere hangs in the starry sky, resembling a celestial body, a pitch-black sun, or Black Hole made of flesh and blood, exuding a dangerous and ancient aura.
But then, it suddenly cracked.
A sacred sword blade emerged from its body, like dawn piercing through the Eternal Night.
Then, the second sword, the third sword...
The Sword of Victory and Glory fell again and again, leaving dozens of wounds on the Omen Wild God's body. Each wound pierced through the entire body and emitted a pure white light, like a blooming lotus flower.
Then, the sword suddenly stopped.
However, the light between the cracks grew stronger and stronger, and the white, in turn, encroached upon the black.
final.
boom!
Following the trails of light, the massive black sphere suddenly disintegrated, tumbling and dimming under the pure white holy light, like a black downpour falling in the deep sky.
These sudden rains attempt to heal.
However, the divine light encompassed them, reducing them all to ashes and dust.
The will of the Wild God also weakened more and more.
"You... insignificant thing... have won..."
"But... this is only... temporary... I will..."
He didn't finish speaking.
The last piece of black matter was also reduced to ashes, and the whispers of the Wild God's will ceased abruptly.
The Sword of Victory and Glory disintegrates and returns to its original state.
The sacred dragon stood silently in the deep starry sky.
The crowns gleamed, the drapery fluttered; where the holy light shone, darkness retreated.
P. S.: My back problem hasn't healed yet, so this is being written using a combination of typing and voice recording, which is a bit slower than before. Please forgive me.
P. S.: I'm done for! Please vote for me next month! Let's gather all the votes to help this Heavenly King Realm Ascension to Godhood and crush Qidian!
