Sneak attack
In the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, Bai Mo, carrying Manaka, swiftly advanced through the boundless depths. After all, peace in Uruk was clearly more important than enduring her entanglements.
The thought of powerless people being suddenly disturbed by the Hand of God while taking a nap is unbearable.
That would be too tragic.
"If a battle breaks out, hold on tight to me. If there's any danger, go back immediately, understand?"
Bai Mo looked at Manaka, who was clinging tightly to his arm, and repeatedly gave her instructions.
"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Saying this, Manaka suddenly pulled on his arm and nimbly moved behind Bai Mo like a fish, pressing her face against his back.
"Like this, stay obediently behind you."
Manaka wore a blissful smile, Bai Mo frowned slightly and pulled her down to shield her behind him. A huge creature was rapidly approaching them from a short distance away.
The Mad Giant Shark appeared on Bai Mo's arms; he was ready for battle.
This was the first time Bai Mo had encountered a creature that truly belonged to this place in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.
A giant, dark-colored whale charged toward Bai Mo. Though it was called a whale, it looked more like the creation of some mad scientist.
The whale's spine was bulging, covered with jagged flesh and bones, from which tentacle-like things floated. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than the black monster that appeared in Uruk — Lahmu.
Not only on its body, but also, like Lahmu of fish, swarmed around the giant whale.
Cannons were mounted on the whale's body, emitting a chilling, eerie light. The behemoth of the Sea of Imaginary Numbers let out a low growl, as lifeless as a machine.
"What the hell is this thing..."
The Lahmu on the whale's spine seemed to be instantly crushed and melted by some invisible force, turning into a viscous pulp of flesh and blood, which was greedily absorbed by the enormous spine.
As a powerful surge of energy erupted, the whale opened its massive jaws, revealing a body filled with machinery. In the air was a dark cannon barrel, covered in unknown runes.
"Grumble--!"
A thick, black torrent rushed straight towards Bai Mo, like a raging flood that devoured all living beings.
A cross-shaped blade of light flashed, and the Blade of Hell abruptly severed the black torrent in front of it. The sharp blade energy separated the unknown substance, and Bai Mo had no intention of touching it.
The Mad Giant Shark detached from its body, Bai Mo threw it directly out. The giant blade, like a circular saw, transformed into a shimmering disc in the air.
Compared to the size of a whale, the Mad Giant Shark was clearly much smaller. It seemed to be trying to defeat an elephant with a toothpick, eliciting eerie laughter from the Lahmu.
"What is that? It's so small."
"Just eat it like that, like him, it's not even enough to fill a tooth gap."
As he said this, the giant whale actually opened its mouth, intending to swallow the Mad Giant Shark whole.
"Then eat it, as long as you can chew it."
Bai Mo said coldly, and the next moment the Mad Giant Shark shone brightly, like fireworks in the night sky. Waves of energy shot out in all directions, transforming into Great White Shark.
Attached to the Mad Giant Shark is none other than the God-Severing Way!
The whale's massive mouth instantly ruptured, and the creature seemed to have no blood.
The behemoth seemed to sense the danger as well. Its body disintegrated, but a powerful force emanated from its flesh and blood, transforming into a semi-transparent giant whale that rushed towards Bai Mo.
It seemed like they were going to perish together. Bai Mo didn't know what the power of this imaginary creature was for, but its speed was slower than Bai Mo's.
Bai Mo revealed a smile and decided to lead the giant beast along.
The surrounding Lahmu were in an even worse state. The power of the God-Severing Way, after tearing apart the giant whale, not only did not diminish but increased. Its murderous aura seemed to have a life of its own, devouring all living creatures around it.
"Damn it! Kill him!"
Turn his intestines inside out!
These creatures seemed to know nothing of fear, quickly bypassing the killing space of the God-Severing Way and swimming towards Bai Mo.
"The Hand of God! Kill!"
Thousands of giant black arms lunged at Bai Mo, but Bai Mo didn't dodge; he merely raised a finger slightly. The killing intent of the God-Severing Way seemed to be guided instantly, scattering in all directions.
Wherever he went, the murderous aura of the God-Severing Way shattered the approaching Lahmu; and behind him, the maddened Imaginary Whale was like a runaway battering ram, blasting the Lahmu army that tried to encircle him into pieces.
"Since we've been met with resistance, it proves that Manaka was pointing in the right direction."
Sure enough, not long after, Bai Mo saw a huge platform. His eyes widened in surprise. The platform looked like a city, and the Lahmu in it lived like humans.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The group of Lahmu spotted Bai Mo, flapped their wings, and surprisingly formed a neat array, charging towards Bai Mo in an orderly fashion.
"Is someone training these things... or have these monsters developed a civilization here?"
Either way, it's utterly absurd and terrifying.
Although he hadn't spent much time with them, Bai Mo had already gained a basic understanding of these creatures.
They possess power ranging from 100,000 to 250,000 horses, and are extremely numerous.
The deadly thing is that these creatures have no concept of fear, and they would not hesitate to use them as fuel for weapons.
Furthermore, they harbor a pure malice towards humanity; the giant arm used to wield the Hand of God has already shown that the beings who created them simply wished for these monsters to overthrow all of humanity.
"These lives cannot be allowed to live in this world; destroy them with all your might!"
Bai Mo's heart was filled with murderous intent, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He no longer entangled with the giant beast, and his body suddenly sank downwards, like a guided missile, carrying the out-of-control energy whale behind him, crashing fiercely into the city of Lahmu below!
Boom--!
The giant whale's spirit crashed into the center of the city like a meteor, instantly leveling a quarter of the urban area with destructive energy. Amidst the surging energy turbulence, Bai Mo protected Manaka, stepping out unharmed, her clothes fluttering in the wind.
Lahmu died in droves, his flesh and blood flying everywhere.
The corpses congealed into pools of water, and the remaining Lahmu flew down, opening their twisted mouths and frantically licking the liquid from the corpses.
As the corpse fluid was continuously absorbed, those individuals grew larger and larger, absorbing and strengthening the remaining matter, which in some ways resembled the process of Demon God forming World-Destroying Demon God.
With a sonic boom, the Lahmu rushed towards Bai Mo.
"These individuals actually possess such characteristics. This group of behemoths in front of me not only has the strength of over 300,000 horses, but also works together seamlessly."
Bai Mo estimated that if monsters like these formed a team, just ten of them would be enough to conquer Uruk, where Ishtar was stationed.
The black monster spread its wings, Bai Mo shielded Manaka behind him, facing thousands of Lahmu, gripping the sharp blade in his hand.
Hehe~
Lahmu let out a strange laugh as he charged towards Bai Mo, unleashing wave after wave of attacks.
Avici Hell Blade - Eighteen Levels of Hell!
A storm carrying blade Storm was released instantly, shattering the Lahmu like a natural disaster, but these monsters were not afraid of death and continued to charge forward fearlessly.
Before long, the surroundings were filled with Lahmu's mangled corpses, but the offensive showed no signs of abating. Gradually, Bai Mo's sword-wielding speed slowed down.
And this is exactly what someone was waiting for.
Chance!
A Lahmu charged forward, its blade energy breaking through the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Its body rapidly twisted and deformed, suddenly transforming into a man nearly three meters tall with long, flowing hair.
It was him— the Thirteenth Grand Protector.
"Now's the time! Die! -- Heart-Destroying Electric Claw!"
They launched an attack in an instant, and this expert actually disguised himself as one of these monsters, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, launching a sneak attack from behind!
The Electric Claw aimed straight for Bai Mo's heart. In Tai Bao's eyes, this attack was a sure thing, a guaranteed kill!
The power of 700,000 horsepower erupted instantly, the electric current like a knife, cleaving even the solid iron beneath their feet. Those nearby, like Lahmu, were instantly sliced into pieces by the residual force.
With a blow like that, there's no way the opponent's heart could still exist.
But there was no joy on the Thirteenth Grand Protector ' faces. He clenched his fist, but there was no heart there, and no one there either.
"Hehe, you're quite the young man, aren't you? Even I, your former fifth brother, was confident I could have landed that blow, but you dodged it."
Was my disguise too fake, or were your perceptions too sharp?
The Thirteenth Grand Protector chuckled self-deprecatingly. Only then did those Lahmu who had been knocked back by the Electric Claw realize what had happened. But this time, the usually malicious Lahmu remained silent.
"I've been on guard against you. You don't really think these pieces of trash can slow down my knife, do you?"
As for why I was able to detect it... it's just that you're too slow.
A cold voice came from behind. Bai Mo had appeared behind the Thirteenth Grand Protector without anyone noticing. The two were now standing back to back, their killing intent as solid as a tangible substance, more suffocating than a million soldiers facing off.
