Chapter 1880: Chapter 16: The Final Moment
Orestox, the Old God of the Thunder Giant clan, hailing from the Aigus Starfield, was once defeated by the new gods and stripped of his power, falling from the True God Realm and sealed within the clan’s Holy Mountain.
Later, due to the projection onto the First Universe, the power of the seal was absorbed by the Purple Cloud Divine Sword, and thus he saw the light of day again.
However, this Old God was rather unlucky, encountering a level of figure like Ni Yang immediately upon seeing the light of day, and being imprisoned once again, with his vessel being the water droplet that Li Xiang just used.
Su Changqing let him use it at the last moment because Orestox had already lost his mind after his power was stripped away, suffering a backlash of spiritual power and becoming a monster that only knows destruction.
Now, using Orestox against the Emperor, though the former’s strength has sharply declined and is no longer as it was, a broken ship still has three pounds of nails; he was once of Extraordinary Level, with a top-tier constitution, spiritual power, and spiritual energy, lacking only the Divine Domain compared to the Emperor.
Thus, even if Orestox cannot defeat the Emperor, it is certain that he can hold it off for a while, at least until reinforcements arrive.
Watching the fierce battle between the two deities from afar, members of the Godslayer Team were dumbfounded, as this scene was not quite what they imagined.
"Is the battle between deities really this simple and brutal..."
"This must be what people here often refer to as the Great Dao in its simplest form..."
"What should we do now, should we retreat or..."
Someone noticed that the two deities were fighting intensely, completely ignoring their side, recognizing this as a good opportunity to either retreat or launch a sneak attack, both providing twice the result with half the effort.
The woman beside Lili furrowed her brows tightly, pondering:
"The Old Gods are usually entities stripped of their Divine Domain, and coupled with the talent ability of the Evil Clan, it seems that it won’t win... To defeat the Emperor, we must join forces with the Old God to shatter its core."
The woman named Vivian, with long straight black hair, usually acted with Lili, and the latter only listened to her in the Godslayer Team.
After speaking, she glanced at Black Soul nearby.
"Black Soul, how’s your preparation coming along? You are probably the only one here who can pose a genuine threat to it."
"Hm..."
Black Soul murmured softly, seemingly not in good status; the vast accumulation of spiritual power within made it somewhat difficult for him to control.
"AOOOSAA!"
In the field, Orestox let out a furious roar, unleashing endless thunderbolts that instantly enveloped the Emperor entirely, turning its flesh to dust in an instant, leaving only a crimson core floating in the void.
Everyone was stunned, not expecting such a high burst from this Old God, instantly disintegrating the Emperor’s vessel body.
However, before they could react, the Emperor over there quickly activated the clan’s recovery attribute, instantly replenishing the lost flesh, and within a blink transformed back into the gigantic repulsive tumor-like form.
"Ah! Damn it!"
From the Godslayer Team’s side, a group of people uttered regretful sounds; that was a very good opportunity to attack the Emperor’s core directly, but they just let it slip.
There was nothing to be done; this scene happened too suddenly, and no one anticipated such a ferocious action from that guy, stripping the Emperor bare.
"The strength of this Old God is not to be underestimated; it’s incredible that even with the remaining power, it can reach such a degree, truly beyond imagination..."
"No, the Old God’s strength is still inferior to that of a True God. Look, the Emperor has used the Divine Domain; I fear the Old God might not hold out much longer, we must all act together, assist the Old God in attacking the Emperor, the rest depends on Black Soul. Once a situation like before is noticed, be sure to seize the opportunity!"
As a consensus was reached, members of the Godslayer Team acted once again, now with Orestox drawing fire in the front as a meat shield, their battle became much easier, using Divine Artifacts to cause considerable trouble for the Emperor.
People from the Third Fleet also joined the fray, initially waiting for the insect swarm on the other side to charge over, preparing to engage it head-on. After waiting for a while, the swarm didn’t arrive, and the surveyors detected a surge of spiritual power in the area, although it couldn’t be confirmed in time, they rejoined the battle against the Emperor.
Perhaps driven to desperation by such a besiegement, the Emperor’s whole form suddenly contracted, then abruptly inflated, spreading an eerie blood-red light in all directions, directly covering the entire star system, with a radius exceeding at least one star unit.
"Not good!"
"Be careful!"
Exclamations rang out from the crowd, with only enough time to activate their Divine Artifacts to hold in front of them.
In an instant, the red energy assaulted, nearly all Divine Artifacts were rendered obsolete, and the muscular Iron Tower Rock, who stood in front, was invaded by the energy, leaving only a skeleton intact, while the remaining few had fought to protect Black Soul, but were all gravely injured and on the brink of death, unable to continue fighting.
The situation for the Third Fleet side was equally dire, with the Defense Magic Array being wiped out instantly, dissolving two-thirds of the fleet, and the remaining twenty-plus ships were all severely damaged, even the Dark Spiritual Power Engines were rendered inoperative under the horror of the Crimson Light’s suppression.
