Chapter 627
by fanqienovelChapter 627: Enemies Run Away, Why Are You Running?
"You little pests!"
"Watch me cut you to pieces!"
"Hahahaha…"
Though Trilobite mocked Glorious Feathered King Dragon Barbatos as weak, the demon god himself thought otherwise.
Instead, he believed…
"I alone can fight so many mighty Giant Spirit Dragon Gods!"
"I’m truly formidable!"
"The primordial Powers shall be mine!"
"Roar—!"
The chaos goddess roared and charged forward.
But at that moment…
"Wham—!"
"Oof!"
Barbatos yelped in pain.
He felt a hard impact on his rear; whirling around angrily, he saw a Giant Spirit Dragon God ramming him with its armored skull.
"Damn you!"
"How dare you hurt me!"
"You’ve got nerve!"
"Grr…"
The enraged demon god instantly switched targets toward the creature that harmed him.
Yet…
"Thump…"
"Augh!"
Another heavy blow struck from the flank.
This hit proved fiercer than the last—slamming his ribs and forcing Barbatos to gasp.
As he tried turning…
"Skree—!"
Another collision echoed from the front…
Only then did Barbatos grasp his peril—his colossal divine body was now fully encircled by a dozen Blade-head Creatures. When he faced forward, they attacked from behind; when he turned back, they struck from left; when he wheeled left, they pounded from right…
In short, pain assailed him from every direction while he could only confront one foe at a time!
The battle situation…
Had actually turned against him!
Though defeat wasn’t certain—if Barbatos wanted to force his way out, his strong Divine Body and long legs meant this clumsy, merely strong Spearhead Species couldn’t stop his one-way breakthrough.
But to be fought to this point…
Wasn’t this too shameful!?
Until…
“Bang—!”
“Hmm?”
Barbatos only tested the waters with a forward shove, yet easily knocked over the one who’d been pressing against him.
This annoying pest was the first Spearhead Species to meet his charge; backed by companions behind, it had survived and stubbornly fought him until now.
It had even caused him some trouble.
But now, it seemed utterly unsupported, collapsing weakly at a push.
As if all its strength had been sucked away!
“What happened!?”
Barbatos knew roughly where the courage and strength supporting these Spearhead Species came from—deities working together!
When these Giant Spirit Dragon Gods gathered into a tight formation, their similar Souls resonated, creating a powerful “shared force field” among the deities.
This force not only absorbed enemy impacts but could temporarily share damage, letting wounded comrades stand firm and keep fighting.
The more deities and tighter the formation, the stronger their mutual support.
That’s why Barbatos’s repeated charges failed to break through or even knock down the one facing him.
Yet now, that support seemed to have suddenly weakened.
“So…”
“Only one reason remains.”
“Their connection weakened; the number of Spearhead Species decreased!”
Soon, the Spearhead Species noticed the problem too.
“Roar—!”
“Ugh…”
They glanced around in panic. The flank creatures quickly spotted the culprit.
“Whew…”
It was a deity that looked relatively small, yet radiated “ferocity” and “brutality.”
It crouched on the ground, snorting heavily through flared nostrils.
Its large head swung from side to side. Within its blood-red maw lay sharp teeth like steak knives, while two prominent saber teeth glinted with cold light.
“Drip… Drip…”
Blood dripped down, falling drop by drop from above, crashing onto the distant earth and splashing into one "blood flower" after another.
It had no gaze.
Those eyes, pieced together from countless gems, reflected a dim light.
It was like…
A terrifying machine with no emotions, only knowing slaughter!
It now lay atop a fallen Giant Spirit God of the Spearhead Species, its sharp claws carving deep blood trails upon it.
"Ugh… Ugh…"
The Spearhead Species beneath it wasn’t dead yet.
It slightly moved its head, casting a look of pleading, even begging, toward its companions.
The meaning was clear…
"Save me!"
But…
"Boom—!"
In the etheric dark clouds, the little gods collided, producing huge roars and bursts of light, illuminating the massive, fierce deity, shining on its gray-white skin, and making the "gem-like eyes" flicker with an even eerier blue-purple glow!
Worse, the sudden brightness from the etheric dark clouds lit up not just the Giant God’s form, but also its surroundings!
The bodies of four Giant Spirit Dragon Gods of the Spearhead Species lay sprawled there!
They all died with eyes wide open.
Their eyes held frozen looks of confusion and slight fear, as if questioning fate—"I was fine, how did I die so suddenly?"
The gaping wounds on their necks showed how they died—swift, clean slits to the throat!
"Hiss…"
"Huff…"
The scene fell silent.
Nearly all the Spearhead Species stepped back, scared by the terrifying sight.
Even Barbatos, who had fought the Spearhead Species for ages, took a small step back in fear.
"What was happening…?"
"Though…"
"The Giant God seemed smaller than me, it felt misleading."
"But that terrifying, bloodthirsty air and the will to devour everything always kept me beneath it…"
"Oh my!"
"What horror this was!"
"It had grown bigger again!"
In reality, the Giant God did not grow bigger; it was Barbatos who hunched down, lowering his view. The fear in his Soul magnified the Giant God’s size.
This made the Giant God seem as if it were high above, mocking him with its inorganic gem-like eyes.
As if saying…
“Primordial Powers…
You think you deserve this?!”
At that moment…
The terrifying, cruel Giant God lowered its head.
“Hiss…”
The saber teeth pierced the throat!
“Ugh… cough cough…”
The Spearhead Species pinned beneath it struggled a few times and then went completely still.
This time, the Giant God didn’t kill right after pouncing, so the prey had time to feel the emotions it should have.
As a result…
Extreme fear and despair froze in its eyes.
At the same time…
“Huff… huff… rumble rumble…”
A deep, rolling thunder-like roar rolled through the void and the primordial, stirring ripples in the gentle etheric rain, echoing over the primordial and striking terror in the Soul!
“Ah! Run away!”
“A monster!”
“Help!”
“Ah——!”
The once tight formation scattered under this terrifying mental attack!
Even fleeing with them was…
“Thud… thud… thud…”
Barbatos!
