Chapter 774 - 527: The Final World Destruction Level Battle, Giant VS Demon Serpent
Absolutely not!
No matter the cost!
"Alright!"
Mage Delin roared the word, using every ounce of his strength.
"We agree to your terms!"
"As long as you can slay it, half the spoils are yours!"
No change in expression could be seen on the gargantuan face of Great Elder Gu.
He simply nodded slowly, as if this outcome was only to be expected.
"A deal."
The ancient voice faded.
The next second.
His colossal, sky-blotting body spun sharply to face the single-headed giant serpent, whose aura had grown ever more terrifying after devouring nearly half the swamp.
He slowly began to walk.
BOOM!
The earth trembled.
BOOM!
The swamp was torn asunder.
Every step he took was like a Giant Hammer slamming down on everyone's heart.
And so, step by step, he walked toward the World Destruction Level Demon coiled above the swamp, carrying a weight and pressure that could crush the world.
The next second.
The Giant Gu's massive palm clenched into a fist once more.
BZZZZ!
At that moment, the point of Power of the World concentrated on his fist surged forth like a bursting dam!
It no longer merely covered his fist.
Instead, it spread madly along the mountainous contours of his muscles!
His arms!
His chest!
His back!
His legs!
In just a few short seconds, that pure, condensed, grayish-white radiance covered every inch of his thousand-meter-tall giant body!
At this moment, Gu looked as if he had donned a suit of Battle Armor forged from the Power of Origin!
However, that wasn't all!
"Hah!"
A deep roar exploded from the Giant's chest!
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!
A terrifying sound like the grinding of tectonic plates filled the air.
Under Raylo's horrified gaze, Gu's thousand-meter-tall body actually... began to grow again!
The ground beneath his feet shattered inch by inch!
Fifteen hundred meters!
Two thousand meters!
Twenty-five hundred meters!
Three thousand meters!
Finally, his form stabilized at a height of over three thousand meters!
If the thousand-meter Giant before was a single mountain peak piercing the clouds, then now, he was a majestic mountain range holding up the very heavens!
The ten-thousand-meter-long giant serpent in the sky suddenly seemed no longer so out of reach.
Raylo swallowed hard.
'Is this... the true form of a World Destruction Level being?'
Just the preparatory movements alone surpassed the limits of a mortal's imagination.
The next moment.
The three-thousand-meter-tall Giant slowly bent his knees.
CRACK!
BOOM!
The swampy ground in a several-thousand-meter radius around his feet could no longer bear the force and collapsed with a roar!
Then...
BOOM!
Gu's figure vanished.
His immense body, moving at a terrifying speed that completely defied the laws of physics, transformed into a giant, grayish-white Meteorite. It tore through the sky, crashing headlong toward the distant, monstrous serpent head!
At this moment, the Giant Serpent Hydra was still using most of its Power to struggle against the Heart of Serenity's shield, which was being maintained by the combined efforts of the Legendary Mages.
Its terrifying devouring force was steadily eroding the shield's energy.
It also noticed the rapidly approaching "Meteorite."
BZZZ!
An invisible barrier of Repulsive Force coalesced before it once again!
This was the same barrier that had effortlessly repelled the suicidal charge of the four Legendary Knights just moments ago.
In its view, the result would be no different this time.
However, this time, it was wrong.
Gu's Iron Fist, wreathed in the Power of the World, didn't pause for even a fraction of a second upon contact with the barrier of Repulsive Force!
It was like a red-hot iron brand searing through ice and snow!
POP!
With a soft, almost inaudible pop, the invisible barrier, strong enough to withstand a combined attack from several Legendary Peak experts, burst like a soap bubble and vanished into nothing!
'What?'
For the first time, a flicker of something akin to "astonishment" appeared in the serpent's empty sockets, which burned with grayish-white Flame.
But it had no time to react!
The next instant.
The Iron Fist, larger than a mountain peak, smashed solidly into its massive jaw!
"THUD!"
There was no deafening explosion.
Only a heavy, muffled thud that seemed to echo in the very depths of the world's origin!
In that instant, the entire world went silent.
Raylo could only see one thing.
Under the force of that punch, the monstrous serpent head, larger than any mountain, was thrown violently backward and upward!
Its indestructible black Scale Armor cracked, twisted, and buckled inch by inch under the terrifying fist!
At the same time, the terrifying suction that had enveloped the entire Jade Swamp, devouring all Life Force, came to an abrupt halt!
Everyone froze.
Hector, half-kneeling on the ground, stared blankly at the scene.
The light of the Heart of Serenity before Mage Delin stabilized, but he didn't seem to notice.
All the Legends...
Everyone's gaze was locked on that earth-shattering sight.
'The tide has turned!'
The monster that they couldn't even budge—despite paying a terrible price, sacrificing Master Gregory, giving their all, and even preparing to destroy a Divine Artifact—was sent reeling by a single punch! Just one!
"Control it! Restrict it! Create an opening for the Giant."
Overwhelming joy at having survived this ordeal erupted in his eyes!
'This is our chance!'
'A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!'
"Spatial Solidification!"
Master Morpheus was the first to respond!
He forcibly squeezed his depleted Sea of Magic Power, gathering his last shred of strength.
BZZZ!
The space around the giant serpent's colossal body instantly seemed to turn from flowing water into viscous amber, causing its reeling motion to lag for a barely perceptible moment!
"Gravity Shackles!"
"Time Slowdown!"
"Elemental Entanglement!"
Master Wendel, Master Nancy...
One after another, the Legendary Mages unleashed their ultimate Control Class Magic upon the giant serpent's massive body, holding nothing back!
"ROAR!"
A silent roar exploded deep within everyone's soul!
It was fury!
It was agony!
And above all, it was the boundless rage of being provoked by ants!
The Giant Serpent Hydra stabilized its body that had been sent flying.
Its two empty sockets, burning with grayish-white Flame, locked onto the terrifying enemy before it!
It had only one enemy!
BOOM!
It moved!
Its ten-thousand-meter-long tail, like a black bolt of Lightning from mythology that could tear the sky asunder, whipped viciously toward Gu's head, carrying enough terrifying Power to shatter a Continent!
The air was instantly vacuumed away and then detonated by the strike, creating a series of deafening sonic booms!
Faced with this world-ending blow, the Giant Gu neither dodged nor retreated.
He simply raised his other arm, clenched his fist, and met it head-on!
BOOM!
Fist and tail collided once more!
This time, it was a duel of pure Power!
A terrifying shockwave spread out madly in all directions from the point of impact!
Raylo saw entire swathes of the distant swamp forest being uprooted, the trees then torn to shreds by the violent air currents!
The earth wailed, and the sky trembled!
'This... is a World Destruction Level battle!'
Every single clash was a catastrophe large enough to destroy a city!
Raylo clenched his fists. Behind him, the Black Stone Army was already scared into silence by the spectacle, which was like a battle between gods.
'They're too strong. Both the giant serpent and the Giant. Their Power has already transcended the bounds of life itself. But... the deal was worth it. Trading half the spoils to save all the Legends and win this war. This deal is a net gain!'
「In the center of the battlefield.」
The battle between the giant serpent and the Giant reached a fever pitch.
Gu's fighting style was simple and brutal: his fists!
Every punch contained the Power of the World, carrying a suppressive weight and tyrannical force!
The giant serpent's attacks were even more frenzied. Its colossal body was its most terrifying Weapon, and every whip of its tail, every slam of its body, was enough to make mountains crumble and the earth split.
For a time, the two were evenly matched!
However, just when everyone thought this would be a prolonged struggle, the Giant Serpent Hydra's attack pattern suddenly changed.
After failing to gain any advantage in a direct confrontation, its monstrous head suddenly snapped open its maw.
A torrent of grayish-white Flame erupted from its giant mouth like a bursting flood!
That was no ordinary Flame.
It was Withering! It was decay! It was the very origin of world destruction!
It was the core destructive power it had refined from the Power of the World!
Gu clearly hadn't expected this move. His massive body was too slow to dodge, and one of his arms was directly blasted by the torrent of grayish-white Flame!
"TSSSSSS!"
The Giant's indestructible, rock-hard skin, fortified by the Power of the World, began to rapidly melt and disintegrate upon contact with the grayish-white Flame, as if doused in concentrated sulfuric acid!
