Fighting on Two Fronts
Underground, some wandering spirits walked slowly. These dead, who had lost their lives and were lingering in the Underworld, were no different from walking corpses. At this moment, he sensed a touch of warmth from life and walked forward.
It was a cloud of blood mist; the moment the undead reached out to touch it, he turned to dust.
The blood mist quickly condensed, and the figures of the Thirteenth Grand Protector crashed heavily into the dark depths of the Underworld. He gasped for breath, looking inward at himself, his eyes filled with unprecedented solemnity.
The Heart-Crushing Electric Claw had left some damage, and the fact that he had sacrificed a portion of his flesh and blood to confuse Bai Mo should have been enough to buy him some time.
"Damn it! Damn it! This reckless bastard is actually gambling with his own heart. Sure enough, the Fifth Brother's lineage are all lunatics; they'd risk their lives in a fight."
Unfortunately, this avatar of the Heaven and Earth Demon God is ultimately no match for the true Hell God of War; it can only issue commands but cannot coordinate with the other avatars. Otherwise, how could it have been attacked by the Life-Severing Way just now?
The Thirteenth Grand Protector ' bodies greedily absorbed the power of the Underworld. The pale blue light, like a whirlpool in the sea, continuously surged into their bodies. The power of the Heaven and Earth Demon God was slowly increasing, but incredibly slowly.
With this thought in mind, a light shone between his brows, issuing a final command to the mangled body. But he didn't know if it would succeed; now, he could only leave it to fate.
"No, I was originally planning to use my network to wage a war of attrition against that kid, but I didn't expect his Life-Severing Way to actually steal my life force. If I continue fighting him, I'm afraid it will be a losing proposition..."
"What a pain! Must I flee back to the Sea of Imaginary Numbers and endure three hundred years until he dies?"
Thinking this, the Thirteenth Grand Protector shook their heads and sighed deeply, "This world is different from ours. There are many ways to prolong life. Although this Heaven and Earth Demon God has no worries about lifespan, how could he not find a way to extend his life?"
Just as he was continuously absorbing the power of the Underworld, a beam of light surged from afar. The Thirteenth Grand Protector immediately activated the authority of the other deities to evade this perception and simultaneously launched a counter-surveillance. He sensed the magical power mixed with Magnetic Field Power and was overjoyed.
"Ha, it's that goddess of the Underworld! So you were hiding here after all. You even tried to find out my location? Didn't expect I'd found you too, huh? What a stroke of luck!"
Just as he felt a surge of joy and was about to take action, he stopped in his tracks.
"No, this is a trap. That kid and that goddess are definitely involved together, and they're trying to lure me in. But this is all I can do; if this continues, it's only a matter of time before I'm found."
"Since that's the case... then let's just go for it!" Thinking this, a ruthless glint appeared in the eyes of the Thirteenth Grand Protector. They extended their ten fingers into sharp claws and plunged them directly into their own bodies. The agonizing sound of bones breaking and tendons snapping echoed in the Underworld.
On the other side, Bai Mo extended his senses to the extreme, but still failed to pinpoint the exact location of the Thirteenth Grand Protector. His gaze darkened slightly, and he sighed softly.
"This Heaven and Earth Demon God is indeed remarkable, possessing immense potential and numerous miraculous effects. To be honest, if I had such a body back then, I would have been eager to fuse with it as well."
Bai Wunan praised it lavishly, saying that this Heaven and Earth Demon God was almost flawless; if one had to point out a flaw, it was that it hadn't fully matured yet. Hearing this, Bai Mo asked:
"If we obtain this Heaven and Earth Demon God, will it allow one of you to leave that space? Staying there all the time must be getting a bit boring. It would be great if you could come out and experience this world."
Upon hearing this, Bai Wunan paused. He had originally intended to ask Bai Mo if, after dealing with Lu Bao, he could consider switching to the body of the Heaven and Earth Demon God.
But Bai Mo didn't think about it that way at all; he was just wondering if he could let them come out for some fresh air.
Seeing this, Bai Wunan stopped asking and replied, "The idea is good, but unfortunately, it won't work. You saw what happened to the Giant Shark earlier."
Our Primordial Spirit is bound to that ghost system to some extent, and the space we reside in is the manifestation of our power. Even when we leave, we need to maintain a connection with this space, but now, that functional part has been lost.
That Heaven and Earth Demon God does indeed possess some power, but this space is inherently unstable. Unless one abandons the accumulated power and starts over with that Heaven and Earth Demon God.
But that's impossible; those forces are still useful if we keep them. Even if we could transfer them, that body couldn't withstand the strength of all of us.
"I see, that's a real pity." Hearing this, Bai Mo also felt a little regretful. Although they could create anything within the Martial God Space, Bai Mo still hoped that they could truly come to this world and experience life.
"Bai Mo, there's no movement here. Sigh, that body contains too many gods, including the god of death Nergal; and it also has fifty percent of the Authority of the Underworld. We won't be able to find it for the time being."
Ereshkigal's voice carried a hint of apology; her attempt to lure the Thirteenth Grand Protector out had failed. The reason she acted so boldly was that Bai Mo still had two Command Spell; if anything went wrong, he could summon Ereshkigal directly to his side.
"It's alright, that guy's range is only so big. Finding him is just a matter of time. In such a short time, he won't have enough time to replenish the power of the Underworld."
Just as Bai Mo was comforting Ereshkigal, a dark light suddenly burst forth from Uruk in the distance, and the Lahmu gathered together, quickly forming a World-Destroying Demon God.
Even more deadly, this World-Destroying Demon God appeared directly above Uruk, falling like a meteor, as if it were going to smash the entire Uruk to pieces.
"Damn it, is our target here? Ishtar, if anything goes wrong, take Gorgon away. We absolutely cannot let Tiamat awaken!"
Gilgamesh made a decisive decision, and upon hearing this, Ishtar felt a chill and a pang of pity.
Although she was hired, before Bai Mo arrived, the people of Uruk truly gave her all the respect and love that a god should have.
Perhaps it was the influence of this body that, at the critical moment of Uruk's life or death, Ishtar felt a sense of responsibility rise within her without her noticing.
"Don't even think about it!"
On the Millennium Castle, Arcueid waved his hand, and Thousand Locks bound the World-Destroying Demon God, preventing him from advancing any further with the unparalleled power of nine hundred thousand horses.
Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, a sudden change occurred. The Demon God opened its maw, and a vast power surged forth. Standing beside Gilgamesh were the heroic Heroic Spirit of Uruk. Although their bodies were insignificant in the face of this power, not one of them retreated. They were prepared to use all their strength to resist for even a second.
"It's too late!"
Ishtar gritted her teeth and flew towards Gorgon desperately, trying to prevent Gorgon from being killed and causing Tiamat to appear.
That second felt like an eternity.
In the distance, Bai Mo closed his eyes, and the clouds in the sky flowed toward him. In his hand, two streams of energy slowly converged. This starting stance was exactly the same as that of the Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword.
Ishtar flew away recklessly, knowing she might be caught in the crossfire, but she couldn't care less at the moment. The power cannon unleashed its light, and Ishtar felt a powerful aura of death wash over her.
Still no luck... Now I've even lost my life. How could I have done something so stupid?
A gust of wind blew, and the sky resembled a flowing sand painting. An invisible finger gently brushed across it, tracing the neck of the World-Destroying Demon God.
Blood splattered as the head of the World-Destroying Demon God snapped off, and the deadly power cannon gradually dissipated.
Ishtar looked back into the distance, and everyone looked in that direction, watching the Bai Mo lower her hand. The people of Uruk knelt down, facing the direction of the one who had saved them, giving thanks for God's mercy.
