Chapter 564
by fanqienovelChapter 564: The First Deity Slain by Mortals
The battle raged on as demons, formed from the condensed divine power of deities, launched furious attacks.
Their strength had also grown.
"Whoosh—!"
"Bang—!"
Countless fiery projectiles made of divine might formed a dense fire net, sealing off the entrance ahead.
"Ugh—!"
A Chosen Warrior had just leaned out to counterattack the demons when a fiery projectile hit his hand holding the gun.
His hand and the surrounding armor burst into flames, melting into a strange mess of iron and flesh.
The medical officer, crouching as he rushed over, regretfully used a chainsaw to perform emergency amputation on the battlefield.
The Chaos Demon God seemed to have fixed the "small trouble" in the magic circuits, letting his magic flow more smoothly. This gave him more magical resources to create even more demons.
It also meant the comrades using the "power of corruption" from the Giant God to cover, destroy, and scatter the deities’ power were probably in grave danger.
But there was no time to mourn.
They couldn’t waste the time bought with their comrades’ lives!
"Um…"
A Chosen Warrior nodded gently to signal his companions behind him.
His armor looked a bit different from his squad mates’.
A yellow vertical stripe was painted on his full-cover helmet.
This marked him as the "squad leader."
"Whew—!"
He waved his hand lightly, and then…
"Boom—Boom—Boom—!"
Heavy footsteps echoed.
Soon, an ultra-heavy armored warrior approached. Unlike other Chosen Warriors, his armor was huge and thick, making him 1.5 times bigger than them!
The heavy gear made his moves clumsy. Rolling, crouching, or quick steps were very hard for him.
But he didn’t seem to need them.
"Bang!"
"Boom—!"
Even as more demons, conjured from divine power, shot fiery projectiles with divine might at the ultra-heavy armored warrior, the attacks were like pebbles hitting steel—just noise, no harm.
"Buzz—!"
"Hiss—!"
See-through ripples and countless five-sided shadows flickered in front of the ultra-heavy armored warrior, blocking the endless attacks.
"Die, demon."
There was no shout.
The Chosen Warrior raised his "Holy Light from the Sun Gatling".
"Da-da-da-da——!"
Like popping beans but a thousand times louder, it exploded!
A storm of holy light and steel tore apart the demons’ bodies. The strong Holy Light wiped out the gods’ power, making them vanish.
The demons’ firepower was crushed!
"Thud… thud… thud…"
His friends grabbed the chance.
The sound of iron boots rang out. Hiding behind the ultra-heavy armored warrior and natural covers, the Chosen Ones warriors rushed into the entrance ahead.
Before them, a big "hall" opened wide.
In the hall’s middle, a golden ball shook a little, giving off "sacred" light.
Even the tough Chosen Ones warriors were briefly charmed, falling into a daze. But fast, the Giant God’s warmth woke them up.
"False deity!"
The Chosen Ones warriors grumbled angrily.
Then, they stood side by side quietly, like a steel wall. With the ultra-heavy armored warrior’s fire help, they moved toward the glowing ball!
The Giant God’s loyal warriors knew that ball was the soul of the gods!
—-
"Hmph… ah… ahhhhh—!"
The huge rat-like secondary demon god screamed horribly and fell back.
The outside wounds…
were small.
Though the Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons’ mouthparts pierced his Steel Skin and put some "things" under his skin, leaving tiny cuts, such skin injuries were nothing to the Chaos Demon God; he could heal right away.
This didn’t fit his awful state.
He rolled wildly on the ground, clawing at his chest and head. Later, he ran madly, not caring if he smashed into the Fantasy Tree of Subspace!
"They…"
"Did it work!?"
The Star-Eater Plutonium Dragon stared in shock at the Chaos Demon God.
Joy and fear boiled in his heart.
He had used all his might to rip the Chaos Demon God’s skin, just to send "Chosen Ones warriors" into the demon god’s body for a one-way job.
Those Chosen Ones warriors…
“At least that is what they call themselves.”
“They are hiding in my giant teeth.”
“This was truly a wonderful experience, as if I could talk to my teeth.”
The Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons was the first deity willing to put aside its pride and communicate equally with mortals.
It found it strange why those mortals were so brave, not caring about their lives; for as far as it knew, mortals were much weaker than deities, even the Chosen Warriors.
It simply could not understand the idea that mortals would abandon their lives for a thought or a future they might never see.
And those hiding in its teeth showed no interest in explaining anything to the Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons.
They were unlike other mortals, very quiet.
“Well, I must admit, this was quite effective.”
The Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons observed the chaos deity that was struggling madly and screaming.
Watching the chaos deity descended into madness, its divine body scratched to shreds and stained with blood from its own terrifying claws, the Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons suddenly shivered.
“If one day I betray the Giant God…”
“Those mortals wouldn’t treat me like this, would they?!”
It wasn’t the only one with this thought.
Almost all the deities caught in the struggle stopped, staring in shock at the demon god that was twisting and screaming in frenzy.
Finally…
“Boom——!”
The Chaos Demon God crashed to the ground, his limbs still twitching violently, but his pupils had already dilated.
His mouth was wide open, divine blood streaming from his mouth, eyes, and nostrils.
Even if he survived, he was now just a hollow divine body.
At that moment…
All the Chaos Demon Gods stopped.
They had forgotten the task of the First Demon God, forgotten that the enemy was right before them, frantically searching for wounds on their bodies.
No one liked the idea of having unknown toxins running through them, even if they hadn’t taken effect yet!
“Boom——! Boom——! Boom——!”
The sound of thousands of moving feet reached them.
A huge shadow loomed over Barbatos’s servant deities.
When they looked up, they saw an enormous Star-Eater Plutonium Dragon!
Ye’s Foolish Act had arrived!
To their surprise, on the back of Ye’s Foolish Act, there lay a…
divine body!
Indeed it was a back-row councilor level deity, perhaps even stronger, but the demon gods felt not even a hint of divine might from it.
Even more astonishing was that this “divine body” could speak.
“Servants of the First Demon God.”
“There is no need to rush.”
“You have already been injected with ‘venom’!”
“However, I do not intend to bring about your demise.”
“Just…”
“I hope to make a deal with you!”
