Chapter 1030: Chapter 779: A Glorious End
"————————"
This is a silence that should never have appeared.
Even though the battlefield remains noisy, enemies continue to roar and howl, accompanied by various rumblings, explosions, and tearing sounds, under such an environment, silence should not appear, nor would it.
But when two extreme terrifying presences erupted simultaneously from the left and right of the alien giant, surging like a volcanic eruption, rushing toward the night sky, at that moment, everyone nearby truly felt the arrival of silence.
It was an overwhelming pressure.
It was an aura akin to the sky falling.
Blazing red flames surged mightily.
Golden light shone brilliantly.
Red and gold, two radiances, two forces, yet they rose from the left and right of the alien giant at the same time, and seemingly pressed on everyone like something tangible.
Thus, all who felt these two forces were shocked, thereby generating an illusion that all sounds vanished from their ears.
"Gwoaaaahhhhhhhhhhh...!"
The alien giant seemed to finally perceive something amiss, letting out a deafening roar.
"[O Ground, Roar Low—]"
Deep within the giant’s green flesh, the fairy avatar that hatched from a "Treasure Bead Fetus" seemed to sense danger, suddenly chanting magic.
"[Come Come Come Earth’s Shell Black Iron Treasure (Light) Flash Star Iron Hammer Mandate by Contract of Opening Reverse Burn Sky Break Ground Build Bridge Unite Heaven and Earth (One) Descend Sky Axe of Destruction’s Calamity By Executor’s Name Command Given Name Earth’s Incarnation Earth Queen (King)—]"
A pitch-black magic array instantly unfolded beneath the alien giant.
"What...!?"
Witnessing this, the expressions of Hedine and Hegni changed for the first time.
Being naturally magical beings, they naturally knew how ridiculous such ultrafast chanting that unfolded before them was.
Coupled with that erupting mighty magic power, these two fiercest Magic Swordsmen finally changed their expressions, realizing how extraordinary the enemy before them was.
Even the four Gulliver siblings were stunned, unconsciously stopping their attacks, causing the originally flawless infinite combo to have a flaw.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Tentacle-like vines immediately exploited the flaw, blowing away the four Gulliver warriors.
But while the Freyja Clan stopped, the Loki Clan, who had witnessed this absurd scene before, absolutely would not stop.
"Theone!"
Grace slashed away several vines and shouted angrily toward Theone.
"Got it!"
Without hesitation, Theone moved into action.
"[Immerse in My Heart Sea Desire, Nurture in Heart Sea Wish—Destiny Descends.]"
"[Lose Form, Strip Teeth, Become King Snake.]"
"[Pierce Ocean, Cross Land, Overturn World.]"
"[Master Destiny, Conquer Destiny, Trample Destiny—Instant Petrification!]"
Theone then chanted magic.
This was the only magic Theone could use.
The effect of the magic was binding.
The manifestation of the magic was a long whip.
"[Jormungand]!"
Ending the chant, a light whip of magic appeared in Theone’s hand, its entire body a blue-purple hue, and under Theone’s swing, it darted like a serpent, resembling a giant python pouncing on its prey.
The next second, the alien giant’s arm was ensnared.
"......!?"
The alien giant’s movements abruptly halted, and the chanting from within also vanished instantly.
"Good! Got it!"
Theona next to her let out a cheer.
Theone’s Binding Magic [Jormungand] can be used as a normal striking weapon, and once it captures a target, regardless of where it entangles, there is a chance to forcibly stop the target’s actions.
So, even if Theone only entangled the alien giant’s arm, once a forced stop is triggered, both the alien giant and its fairy avatar inside would fall into a state of paralysis.
The success rate of forced cessation depends on Theone’s own "Magic Power" parameter.
In other words, it’s possible to fail, and the chance is quite high.
Theone is not a Magic Guide, and originating from the Battle Nation, she excels in close combat and physical techniques, making this magic somewhat redundant for her.
For the Amazon, the most suitable magic are types that complement close combat, like Alcana’s [Black Sky Maiden] can enhance attributes, Bajie’s [Vargus] is an auxiliary magic, even Aisha’s [Purgatory Chaos] is a magic strike with the power sword, all can pair with the Amazon’s exquisite physical techniques in use.
Theone’s [Jormungand] however isn’t a type that can pair with physical techniques, and lacks any real attack power, hence Theone almost never uses it in combat, so much so that despite multiple upgrades, Theone seldom triggers the forced stop effect of the magic.
According to herself, when dealing with floor bosses, using the magic ten times would likely only trigger the forced stop once successfully.
This shows how low Theone’s mastery of this magic is.
However, after the divine spirit’s avatar appeared, under Finn’s suggestion, Theone began to retrain this magic.
No choice, the divine spirit avatar’s magic was simply too terrifying. Finn believed that if they wanted to deal with such an existence, they should at least have one or more means to prevent the opponent’s chanting, causing their magic to fail.
Theone’s magic just happened to meet such a condition.
As long as the compulsory action stop can be smoothly triggered, the opponent’s chant will halt, and their magic won’t initiate.
Under the suggestion of her beloved, the love-struck Amazon sister naturally started to execute without a word, retraining in this magic.
Now, seeing the grotesque giant chant magic, Grace immediately issued a reminder, and Theone also completed her magic chant at an unprecedented speed, successfully activating [Jormungandr] and triggering its compulsory stop effect.
"Well done!"
"Hehe, as expected of Theone!"
Grace and Theona shouted in unison and then rushed out, fiercely hacking at the grotesque giant’s body.
With the activity of the three captains of the Loki clan, the grotesque giant’s counterattack was intercepted.
And then—
"Now!"
The young man engulfed in flames and the pig-man transformed into a fierce beast both had a sharp glint in their eyes.
"Ooooooooooooohhhhhhh...!"
The berserk wild boar let out a terrifying roar, and as the air shook, slashed down with the high-raised golden sword.
"Sun Breathing·Land Form·Bone-Burning Sun!"
The youth draped in fiery gauze also struck down with the black blade in his hand.
In an instant, the Blazing Red Flames turned into a fiery vortex, and the golden light raised a Sword-storm, attacking from the grotesque giant’s left and right sides respectively.
Where the fiery vortex passed, the temperature in the air skyrocketed, and the ground instantly turned to scorched earth.
Where the golden storm passed, the atmosphere was directly shredded, and the earth was directly plowed open, exposing the red soil inch by inch.
The scorching torrents and flows of power could be clearly seen appearing in the Fengyue Street of Orario and advancing all the way forward, even from a distance.
A few seconds later, the two strongest forces in the city simultaneously crashed onto the grotesque giant’s body, also colliding with each other.
"Boom!!!"
A deafening explosion resounded through the heavens and the earth.
At the moment the fiery vortex and Sword-storm collided, all of Orario jumped, causing countless people to be thrown to the ground, letting out hysterical screams.
The shockwave blew everything away, mixed with flames and fierce wind, scattering the clouds in the sky.
"Gaaaooohhhhhhhh...!"
The grotesque giant emitted a death cry amidst the storm of flames, louder and more deafening than any previous time.
"Not good!"
"Run away!"
"Ruuuunnnnn!"
Seeing the incoming impact of the flame storm wave, Grace, Theone, and Theona were shocked and fled without looking back.
Hedine, Hegni, and the Gulliver brothers’ group of six also turned and ran without a word, but they were heading towards the direction of the goddess’s palace.
"Rumble...!"
The ultimate violence and ultimate power were tearing everything around, peeling away the ground once again.
"Boom!"
And under this catastrophic scene, at the top layer of the goddess’s palace, a sacred light pillar appeared, like a bridge of light connecting heaven and earth, shooting into the sky.
"The Repatriation Pillar..."
The residents of Orario, overwhelmed by consecutive disturbances, looked at this scene numbly.
Everyone knew that at this moment, another deity had been repatriated.
His repatriation liberated a family.
His departure signified the end of this war.
In the mansion behind the goddess’s palace, in the aerial courtyard, the white-haired youth who had defeated Aisha desperately resisted the shockwave, holding the unconscious Aisha in one hand and the panicked Haruhime in the other, shakily stabilizing his posture.
"Gaaahhhhhhhhhhh...!"
And in the fiery vortex and Sword-storm, the grotesque giant being bombarded by two extremely powerful forces let out its final roar, sounding like resentment, but also like relief, its body fracturing inch by inch, gradually vanishing.
Not long after, that bloated and ugly giant completely disappeared.
It truly didn’t leave even a piece of flesh, completely obliterated by the two strongest forces in the city.
"Boom!!!"
When the second loud noise erupted, the fiery vortex and Sword-storm also offset each other in their extreme conflict and collision.
In the end, neither of them overcame the other, merely leveling everything and ceasing only after a long while.
