Clash

I remember it very clearly, I died.

On my chase after the Gale, I was defeated by the infiltrated Bai Chou, and then...

After being killed by my nephew, my memory is fragmented and very blurry; it's as if I was thrown into a pile of corpses. Then, the pile of corpses seems to explode, and when I come to my senses, I find myself here.

"An outsider? Enlil, is this the opportunity you speak of?"

"He possesses a power that doesn't belong to this world, and I'm certain that this power can save us from our fate of annihilation. Enki, the Greater Source has been destroyed by the White Giant; we must make a choice."

"Enlil, how can you guarantee he won't plot against us?"

"Because he is a man, and I am a god!"

It seemed like someone was arguing. By the time I realized what was happening, I had been sealed inside a stone tablet. Looking at the two people arguing in front of me, I understood.

This is what I'm best at...

"Enough, Enki! I am the God-King! If you don't want to participate, you can go back to Eridu!"

This will be the rebirth of my Thirteenth Grand Protector.

In the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, in the City of Lahmu, the Thirteenth Grand Protector did not turn back. On the surface, they chatted casually with Bai Mo, but in reality, they secretly exerted their power. Streams of sword energy burst forth from beneath their feet, pointing directly at Bai Mo behind them.

The sword energy suddenly exploded, like a blooming chrysanthemum, but each petal of this flower carried a deadly, soul-stealing power.

With a single strike, the battlefield was deserted, as if everything had been pulverized into a bloody pulp. On two distant towers, Bai Mo and the Thirteenth Grand Protector appeared.

By carefully examining his opponents, Bai Mo quickly made a judgment about the strength of the Thirteenth Grand Protector in his mind.

Having experienced life and death, his understanding and temperament have undergone significant changes. Moreover, the Thirteenth Grand Protector have probably been here for a long time. Although their strength is limited by the environment to only 700,000 horses, their flow rate has reached the top level of a first-class martial god.

While the Thirteenth Grand Protector ' talents cannot be compared to top experts like Bai Chou from the Martial God Era, they are by no means weak.

After all, the fact that he could pretend to be a playboy while maintaining his cultivation level right under Bai Chou's nose meant he had the strength to support his ambitions.

In other words, this guy barely made it through the ranks by accumulating seniority.

"Alright, remember what we talked about before? You should go back if you encounter danger."

Bai Mo said to Manaka behind her. The upcoming battlefield would be beyond her capabilities.

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Manaka's eyes flickered slightly, and then she nodded. With a surge of magic, purple light surrounded Manaka.

"Hey, you think you can just come and go as you please?"

The Thirteenth Grand Protector naturally wouldn't let Manaka go. They knew that Ai Ge was exceptionally capable, and they were certain that if they kept this little girl, Bai Mo would be at their mercy.

With a single kick, he knocked down the building beneath him, and charged forward like a deep-sea predator.

700,000 horsepower of power – Sea Tiger Exploding Fist!

Bai Mo's center of gravity sank, and a powerful force surged into the sky.

Five hundred thousand horsepower of power— the Orca Tyrant Fist!

Two forces raged, the Sea Tiger Exploding Fist was like countless sharp blades, while the Orca Tyrant Fist was like a city wall, standing firm against the towering waves and blocking all the attacks.

The Thirteenth Grand Protector used the momentum to somersault backward, and when they looked again, Manaka's figure had already disappeared.

"The Orca Tyrant Fist, I can't believe I'm still seeing this move after all this time. Kid, who exactly are you?"

Not only does he know my Bai Family's Sea Tiger Exploding Fist, but he also has the Blue Country's Orca Tyrant Fist, and... damn it, how could my 700,000 horsepower be evenly matched with a mere 500,000 horsepower?

Compared to Crimson Moon, who doesn't know how to use her strength, Bai Lubao is clearly stronger in combat. Moreover, this venomous snake keeps emphasizing that it only has 700,000 units of strength, so it's likely that it's holding back.

Seeing that Bai Mo did not answer but stared at him with extreme vigilance, the Thirteenth Grand Protector smiled, then waved their hands, creating an energy shield that separated Bai Mo from them.

Suddenly, he suppressed his murderous intent and said:

"Kid, don't look so bitter and resentful. Although I can guess that my record in the Bai Family's history isn't very good, hey, are your Bai Chou, who killed his brother and stole his sister-in-law, and that tyrannical Bai Wunan, any better off?"

I'm just a loser, and I've truly repented.

"Boring. If you want to fight, then fight."

Bai Mo said coldly, looking at the sudden change in the guy's attitude.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these young people nowadays, I wonder how your parents raised you." Thirteenth Grand Protector stroked his hair, grinning like an old fox, and looked around at the surrounding barrier, saying:

"That way we won't be discovered, young man. I'm doing this out of necessity. Look at me, I was sealed away as soon as I arrived in this world, and then I'm being blackmailed by a bunch of so-called gods."

I did all this just for freedom, for freedom.

Bai Thirteenth Grand Protector opened his arms and faced his opponent, who had just been fighting to the death. Suddenly, he changed his attitude and acted as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.

"Why don't you do me a favor and we take care of that Enlil together? Then we can live in peace and enjoy the world, what do you say?"

Faced with the Thirteenth Grand Protector ' proposal, the only response he received was a sharp blade of energy. With a wave of his hand, Bai Mo removed the barrier that had been enveloping them.

This blatant disrespect caused the smiles on the faces of the Thirteenth Grand Protector to vanish.

Bai Mo raised his knife, his voice calm yet firm, and said:

"Stop pretending. Was your murderous intent earlier just an act? You just felt you weren't confident you could take me down, and Manaka, who could threaten me, is gone, so you're putting on this act."

Bai Mo's prediction came true. The Thirteenth Grand Protector narrowed one eye. Indeed, he was certain after that fight that he would not gain any advantage in a deadly battle with Bai Mo in his current state.

He had no desire to do something so thankless and exhausting.

"Hehehe, young man, even if you reject me, you shouldn't question my good intentions. Besides... not confident in winning you over? You're overestimating yourself!"

The Thirteenth Grand Protector quickly closed in, their hands pouncing like a fierce tiger towards Bai Mo's face.

But this seemingly powerful attack was actually a trap. Without hesitation, Bai Mo pointed his Blade of Hell straight at his opponent's face, intending to split the Thirteenth Grand Protector in two.

At the very moment the two clashed, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, the floor beneath Bai Mo's feet seemed to come alive. The Daichi twisted and opened a giant maw, surging with immense imaginary power, like a cannon with its fuse lit.

But given this opportunity, Bai Mo would not give up easily. The Blade of Hell pierced through his opponent's body. A dense black torrent surged, and the figures of the Thirteenth Grand Protector and Bai Mo disappeared into the black power together.

"Young man, this is the Sea of Imaginary Numbers. It seems you have no idea what this is all about. As someone who came before you, let me teach you properly!"

Energy surged, Thirteenth Grand Protector were pierced through by the Blade of Hell, yet they still revealed a sinister grin of triumph.
