In the Nick of Time
Light emanated from the neck of the world -World-Destroying Demon God high in the sky. This world -World-Destroying Demon God itself lacked the power to control its main body. It appeared to be a whole, but in reality, it was just a bunch of Lahmu, a machine that could only carry out commands.
Therefore, in terms of controlling force, just like with machines, if a problem occurs in any step, the whole thing will go out of control.
With a deafening roar, the head of the World-Destroying Demon God exploded instantly, and countless Lahmu turned into scattered black dust.
Bai Mo, watching the result of this attack from a distance, pondered in his heart:
It could be even faster; there's still room for improvement in this technique.
When Bai Mo first encountered this move, he used the Dark Reincarnation in the Six Paths of Reincarnation to break it down and understand it. With his heightened sensitivity to martial arts at the Final Realm, Bai Mo was able to understand the mysteries of the Thirteenth Grand Protector' Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword in a short period of time.
At the same time, the vast amount of martial arts knowledge imparted by Tiandao and the Giant Shark has enabled him to surpass the Thirteenth Grand Protector and Enlil in martial arts skills and vision. He has already discovered many shortcomings and room for improvement.
But let's put these things into practice after the war. What will you do next?
Bai Mo thought to himself. Just then, a figure appeared above him, like a net catching birds. Looking back, he saw the shattered bodies of the Thirteenth Grand Protector, which had been riddled with holes by the Hell Samsara Stance.
"Stay here!"
The separated body of the Heaven and Earth Demon God roared, and then his life force rapidly withered, while his power and aura continued to rise.
"Burning life force in exchange for power? But that's nothing compared to the Asura Reincarnation. However, I now understand why you released Tiamat."
So you're trying to use this to stall me?"
With a wave of his hand, Bai Mo unleashed countless Magnetic Field Heavenly Blade that surged upwards like a towering mountain of blades.
On the other side--
The people of Uruk breathed a sigh of relief. Led by Gilgamesh, they stood guard around Gorgon, and even Siduri was there. Gilgamesh had originally intended to send her away, but there was no place in Uruk that could be considered absolutely safe now.
Furthermore, Bai Mo had previously stored some power within Siduri, an ordinary person, for protection. Therefore, Gilgamesh did not order Siduri to leave.
In the shadows, a man looking in Gorgon's direction breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Just then, the World-Destroying Demon God in the sky let out an extremely shrill roar. Like a collapsing beehive, countless Lahmu flew out, their bodies swelling up like bombs, rushing down recklessly.
Just as everyone gritted their teeth, preparing to fight to the death, the sound of chains clanging in the air came from above.
The Thousand Locks, like a school of fish from the deep sea, surged out from the body of the World-Destroying Demon God, binding each of the Lahmu and dragging them back alive.
On the city wall, Arcueid's face was full of coldness. She bent her five claws, and the Lahmu were dragged back as if they were on dog leashes.
Seeing no hope of escape, the Lahmu let out extremely piercing howls. Then, one of the Lahmu, its voice like scratching glass, roared:
"Long live the Grand Protector Heavenly King!"
The next moment, all of Lahmu's bodies swelled up like eggs in hot oil, forming fleshy spheres that contained terrifying Magnetic Field Power and eerie, dark magic.
"Damn, are these guys going to blow up Uruk?"
The Gate of Babylon opened wide, covering the entire sky.
But before the Gate of Babylon could fully open, the mass of Lahmu in the sky seemed to freeze.
The surrounding space distorted, and the Lahmu swarm that was about to explode disappeared, replaced by a perfect square.
Arcueid's expression was icy cold. She was a completely different person when she was fighting, showing no mercy. As a sword flashed, another venomous snake hidden in the shadows finally saw its opportunity and bared its fangs.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the shadows. "Watch out, the enemy is underground!"
Gilgamesh turned his head and saw Kingu. Although he knew very well that it was not his old friend Enkidu, his body reacted before he could act upon seeing the familiar face.
Countless staffs emitted light, and magic surged into the ground. Instantly, the earth and Daichi beneath their feet resembled a movie screen, revealing the minerals and underground rivers beneath their feet. A figure suddenly appeared underground, charging towards them with lightning speed.
With a bang, he burst out of the soil and rocks, looking exactly like the Thirteenth Grand Protector!
"Damn corpse, if I weren't doing something important, I would have made you die a thousand times over!"
As the Thirteenth Grand Protector uttered harsh words, a monstrous sword sprouted from their flesh and blood in their right hands, aiming straight for Gorgon's heart in the distance!
The Heaven and Earth Demon God can split into multiple parts, but before it is complete, each split comes at a price. Bai Mo was dealing with the previously injured half of its body, while this one only appears to have a quarter of its power.
Even so, this power was far beyond Gilgamesh and the others could withstand. Although Kingu had lost his power, his [Presence Sensing] still existed, which allowed him to detect it first.
Kawakami Gensai was the first to react, and a cold glint flashed in his hand.
Gilgamesh also activated his wand, and Marduk's battle axe shone brightly, attaching itself to the blade on the Kawakami.
The speed was too fast; even Kawakami peak probably couldn't have landed a hit. Her pride and joy, her divine speed renowned for her signature sword-drawing slash, seemed like a child's game in the face of this true divine speed.
Even if you knew of its terrifying speed beforehand, it would be impossible to detect. And even if you could, what could you do? What could this knife possibly do to it?
But she didn't think that much about it, and neither did anyone standing here. It wasn't a question of whether it was useful or not; it was that they had to do it.
Bullets imbued with the power of Marduk's hand axe and Anna's chains also flew towards him.
The Thirteenth Grand Protector were furious. How dare these weaklings do this? But they dared not be careless. These attacks had a strong anti-divine nature, and now, almost all the divinity of Sumer mythology was on them.
He released a faint spark of electricity, which blocked the attacks and surged into their bodies. With the power of 800,000 horsepower, their bodies instantly scattered and exploded.
But the leading Heroic Spirit did not retreat. Even though her body was like a carrot in a juicer, her eyes remained fixed on him. The pain in her body seemed to have no effect at all.
A flash of cold light—
Draw your sword, Divine Might!
With a snap, the knife in Kawakami's hand shattered instantly, like a glass bottle striking a rock. But at the same time, the Thirteenth Grand Protector paused slightly.
He guessed correctly; the divinity within him was too strong at that moment. Therefore, the power of this strike was like a drop of water falling into a raging fire; even though it was like an egg striking a rock, it still produced a soft sound.
This delay of less than a millisecond became an insurmountable obstacle for him.
The surrounding space instantly froze, and the Marble Phantasm enveloped him layer by layer. Looking at this closed Marble Phantasm, his eyes were filled with resentment.
