Power restored
This is terrible! It's that feeling again, surrounded by enemies, with no one I can rely on!
Thirteenth Grand Protector sighed deeply. He knew he had done his best, keeping Bai Mo occupied, distracting Arcueid, and waiting for an opportunity to ambush and eliminate Gorgon to release Tiamat.
This plan was done to the extreme, but it's still going to fail.
I'm so unwilling to accept this! I'm so incredibly unwilling to accept it.
"You little bastards, you think you can stop me? Bah! Die!"
The Thirteenth Grand Protector roared, unleashing all their power from this body. Although it was an clone, the sheer volume of power was astonishing. All of this power was concentrated in their arm, which had transformed into a long sword, and at the same time, a head sprouted from that arm.
With a loud bang, the arm instantly shattered like fireworks exploding in the night.
Driven by this force, the arm successfully broke through the blockade of the Marble Phantasm, heading straight for Gorgon with lightning speed.
The clone's eyes were filled with ecstatic joy, while the hidden Underworld entity, the Thirteenth Grand Protector, also waved his hand vigorously, overjoyed. A rune radiating imaginary energy had already been inscribed beside him; as soon as Gorgon died, Tiamat would appear there directly.
At that time, with Tiamat's vitality, while perfecting the Heaven and Earth Demon God in the Underworld and fighting, victory will still belong to the Thirteenth Grand Protector. He still has a few trump cards in his hand.
But just as the severed arm flew away, a figure stood before that sure-kill strike.
Everyone present gasped. This person was none other than Siduri, who possessed no fighting ability whatsoever. Kingu felt his heart was about to leap out of his chest. What was she doing?
Upon seeing the newcomer, the Thirteenth Grand Protector gave a disdainful smile. "An ordinary person? You're asking for death, so be it!"
The sharp blade struck Siduri's chest directly, and the Thirteenth Grand Protector could almost see Siduri being reduced to minced meat by this force. But soon, their relaxed gazes were replaced by surprise, and a surge of power suddenly erupted from Siduri's body, transforming into a sharp blade that met the Thirteenth Grand Protector ' bone knife.
"Oh no!"
Bai Mo and Arcueid, watching this scene from afar, had solemn expressions in their eyes.
The power that Bai Mo infused into Siduri would only retaliate when attacked by Lahmu or magical beasts. But the situation is completely different now; it's like two powerful figures clashing here.
The problem is, Siduri is right here, and she's appearing in the heart of a battle between powerful magnetic field users like an ordinary person.
The residual power from this clash will ensure her utter demise.
Deadly forces emanated in all directions, each strike easily tearing the Daichi apart and shattering rooftops.
Siduri's body was like a puppet that had been brutally torn apart by an invisible force. Her flesh and tendons were like delicate threads, easily peeled and severed by the dissipating Magnetic Field Power.
There was no fear on her face, only a hint of reluctance and determination as she looked at the king she had once served.
Looking at the city where he lived, he finally... glanced at Kingu in the shadows.
His eyes were full of reluctance, and even a hint of apology.
Facing that gaze, and seeing this woman who, despite knowing he was an enemy, still cared for him, Kingu clenched his fists.
Don't do anything foolish. You have no power at all; you're just courting death. You're enemies, and she's just a stupid woman. Haven't you been using her all along? Now that she's useless, it's no loss if she dies.
Such thoughts kept popping into his head, and at that moment, Kingu a thousand reasons to turn away.
He made his decision without hesitation, rushing towards the figure like a moth drawn to a flame. His body was now no different from that of an ordinary person, and thankfully, Siduri had prepared breakfast for him before leaving home that morning, giving him the strength to arrive in a matter of seconds.
His body was torn to shreds by the force of the clash, and in the blink of an eye, only half of his body remained. But he still desperately held onto Siduri. The next moment, the force of the clash exploded, instantly blasting them away.
With a loud bang, the arm of the Thirteenth Grand Protector was sent flying into the air, mangled and battered, the blade riddled with wounds. But the face on it revealed a smile.
Any cell of the Heaven and Earth Demon God can temporarily house his thoughts, even if it's just this arm, even if it's covered in wounds, this thing is still alive!
"Got it!"
The Thirteenth Grand Protector once again unleashed their power, aiming straight for Gorgon's brow.
Just when he thought everything was settled, a crisp sound of bone cracking rang in his ears. The face of the Thirteenth Grand Protector on his arm froze instantly, staring into the distance with disbelief.
From the moment he made his move until now, only a mere five seconds had passed. In those five seconds, his mangled body, on which he had placed such high hopes, was shredded into pieces by Bai Mo.
"What... is this move?"
At this distance, it was undoubtedly his own Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword, but it lacked the overwhelming power and the ability to pierce through the air. A clear, thin mark appeared on the severed arm and the blade, silently and without warning, as if he had been struck at some unknown time.
Bai Mo slowly withdrew his hand. He naturally did not answer, but simply watched as the severed arm completely dissipated and shattered.
In Uruk, the dying Kingu released Siduri from his arms, panting heavily. He could feel his life force rapidly diminishing, but that didn't matter.
But when he opened his eyes and saw clearly, his gaze went blank. Siduri's body was covered with tiny holes, from which blood and mangled internal organs were flowing.
"How... how could this happen?"
"Ha, what's there to be sad about, Kingu?"
A familiar voice came from above. Injured by the explosion, Gorgon opened his eyes, looking at Kingu with a mocking expression, and slowly said:
Have you forgotten your mission? Have you forgotten the cities you destroyed? Look at yourself, what are you doing?
Why should someone like you grieve for the death of a human being?
Gorgon spoke coldly, each word like a knife cutting into Kingu's heart, but his pain stemmed not from Gorgon's harsh criticism, but from his own self-loathing.
She's right. What right does someone like me have to receive this woman's help? My hands are stained with human blood.
Two drops of scalding water fell, and as she looked at the lifeless Siduri beneath her, she slowly said:
"I've been in Uruk for so many days, and I've only survived because of her. Someone like me can just die, but... but..."
Only with this person can I honestly say to myself, 'No matter what kind of world it is, this kind life deserves to live.'
Upon hearing these words, Kingu felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart, and at the same time, a familiar power emanated from his body.
"I see... It seems this body has had enough of my soul."
The next moment, disregarding his impending death, he used his Magnetic Field Power to lift Siduri's body, his power surging and flowing into Siduri.
Magnetic Field Rotation -- Cellular Regeneration!
The wounds on his body gradually healed, but the breath of life still hadn't returned.
"This woman is already a corpse, ha, but it doesn't matter. You might even see her in the Underworld, provided you can go there."
Gorgon quipped, but the next moment, Kingu sensed a faint life force emanating from Siduri.
"Siduri!"
Kingu was overjoyed, but he soon realized something was wrong. A strange power was surrounding the area, and not only Siduri, but even the dissipating Heroic Spirit were gradually being repaired by this power.
Even he himself was slowly healing. He turned his head and saw that Bai Mo was already standing behind him, the power of the Asura Eternal Life Art flowing endlessly in this place.
