Chapter 285: The Anger Like a Divine Being!
The remains of a deity.
Roughly over a thousand years ago, Glofield’s legion discovered an enormously massive corpse, which the local inhabitants in the mountains were worshipping, while they were annihilating the civilization on a distant planet.
The legion quickly realized that this was the corpse of a deity.
In the infinite and boundless multiverse, the deities were always the most extraordinary and powerful beings.
From a categorical perspective, deities can be divided into three types: “Primordial Gods,” “Symbolic Gods,” and “Faith Gods.”
The corpse discovered by the legion on that planet once belonged to an incredibly powerful “Primordial God.”
This being perished in a battle beyond human imagination, leaving behind an awe-inspiring body, buried deep in the ground for thousands of years.
The blood and flesh of this deity had permanently altered the land, attracting the worship of sentient beings from the planet.
After Glofield’s legion obtained it, they proceeded to modify the corpse, transforming it into a devastating machine belonging to the “Legion” for global warfare.
Its name was… Fear!
In the vast black hole looming in the sky, Fear trembled within its monstrous pupils, casting a malevolent gaze upon the world below.
When it touches the ground, it will unleash a terrifying power, second only to Glofield. The inhabitants of Babel Tower are completely powerless against such a monstrous force.
But now, only the people of Babel Tower have the power to repel the enemy.
The power of the Pupil of Chaos is incomprehensibly terrifying, far beyond the understanding of ordinary mortals.
Under its chaos and disruption, the powerful beings from every corner of Noah’s world could not find the location of the descent ceremony.
Ganis and the slimes lived in the Wilderness Forest, only a few hundred kilometers away from Annottales.
However, the dreadful phenomenon known as the “Heaven’s Tear” failed to draw the attention of the Saints of Dark Light or the Divine Blade Knights.
Even those nearby, gazing upon the scene, would only perceive an entirely different picture. They could never locate the true site of the ceremony.
This is another form of cognitive filter.
The people of Noah’s world, under the power of the Pupil of Chaos, were utterly incapable of resistance and could only succumb to its will.
Only the members of Babel Tower were free from the interference of the Outer God’s powers!
At this moment, outside Annottales, the overwhelming fear emanating from the sky caused the slime to tremble uncontrollably, stripped of all fighting spirit.
Compared to Ganis, a human, the slime’s animal instincts were much stronger, and the fear overcame its will.
It was impossible to overcome this fear!
Not only the slime, but anyone could clearly see the slim chance of victory in this battle.
“That thing…”
Ganis gazed at the terrifying, evil giant with monstrous eyes. He took a deep breath and clenched both fists with all his might.
A never-before-felt sense of oppression weighed on him, almost making him lose hope in his heart. Intense fear flooded his soul.
“Even though I’ve come this far, I can’t do anything to help the Babel Tower… nor can I save this world…”
Ganis fell silent, his mind racing.
After everything, there was only one thing left for him to do—he silently prayed to the great Savior.
Oh, Savior of the Babel Tower!
If miracles truly exist…
Show me one now!
I will hold onto the miracle you bestow and vanquish all villains and evil!
Gradually, the overwhelming fear faded, replaced by a burning fury that ignited in his heart, as if it could eradicate all the evil threatening the world!
Even if it’s the remains of a god, or a deity itself, I will fight with everything I have to protect what I hold dear!
Let’s fight!
Suddenly, he felt a change in his body.
As if moving beyond his control, his actions began.
[Fist of Duel, you have been chosen.]
[This is the power bestowed upon you.]
Ganis paused for a moment before charging towards the mud puppet, which called itself the “Earth Elemental Elder.”
“Did he really come toward me?”
The clay puppet’s tone dripped with playful malice and hidden murderous intent.
Ganis immediately understood the meaning of becoming the Savior—he had to eliminate the clay puppet quickly.
This creature was a “Beast Tamer,” meaning it controlled the incredibly powerful “Divine Corpse” from beyond the world!
If they could kill it, the arrival of that force would be stopped!
The clay puppet’s eyes narrowed, resembling a painting, as it muttered, “Although I’m not the most significant force in the legion, I still possess the power to become a Crown… You dare challenge me, someone who hasn’t even reached Crown level? Isn’t that reckless… and foolish?”
Gracefully, it waved its arms, sending a flurry of dust into the air.
A tide of mud surged toward Ganis, attempting to capture him.
In the next moment, Ganis found himself surrounded entirely by the sea of mud. His limbs were tightly bound, leaving him immobile.
The difference between the two was strikingly evident.
It was despairing.
Ganis struggled, but his body felt heavier. For some reason, his vitality was draining, and his breathing became labored.
“There’s a huge gap between us. From the beginning, the soil was mixed with a deadly poison. It’s already entered your body through the air, and soon, you’ll succumb to it and die!”
The puppet, “Lye,” revealed a sly smile.
It had always been cunning and deceitful.
Even before the battle began, it had poisoned him.
Now, it simply watched, waiting for Ganis to struggle and despair as he succumbed.
There was no greater joy for it!
Ganis felt as though his entire body was aflame, the pain searing through his nerves growing more intense. His body teetered on the edge of death.
But he still believed the Savior could grant him victory!
Because Babel Tower was always like that… it would save those who needed to be saved!
The puppet continued, smugly:
“Perish here. When His Majesty, the Chosen for Eternity, arrives, he will crush all your hopes!”
It slowly opened its arms, its voice brimming with excitement!
“This world will be crushed, plundered, slaughtered, and thrown into chaos, hahaha! Everything you cherish will be destroyed by us, and all that you hold dear will be reduced to worthless, rotten mud!”
“Hahaha! Enjoy the arrival of everything!”
Yes, all of this is about to happen!
Ganis understood this deeply.
He felt a relentless drive, a growing force rising within him.
It was anger!
His anger surged even more fiercely!
Tactical Card·Blazing Burning Anger!
Bai Yan had once drawn two tactical cards related to anger. One, “Endless Fury,” had already been used, and now this card, “Blazing Burning Anger,” was applied to Fist of Duel.
It stirs up anger within the heart, and as the anger grows, the user’s fighting ability intensifies!
However, simply using “Blazing Burning Anger” was still not enough!
The difference in strength was simply too great.
So, another, even more powerful Tactical Card was used on Ganis.
“A Moment of Strong Luck Like a Deity!”
This was Bai Yan’s final card—“A Moment of Strong Luck Like a Deity.”
The ground crumbled beneath him.
The thick layer of soil, which should have trapped Ganis, naturally collapsed, and he stood tall, gazing at his enemy.
The puppet’s pupils trembled.
“What happened? How is this possible?”
The man remained silent, feeling his body no longer controlled by the Savior.
In the moments that followed, the great Savior entrusted everything to him.
Ganis knew that close combat was the only way forward. The Earth Elemental Elder was undoubtedly a powerful spellcaster, and only by attacking at close range could he have a chance.
Let’s battle!
He slowly approached the enemy, his eyes filled with fierce anger.
“What’s causing this change? How strange!”
The clay puppet, bewildered, couldn’t comprehend the situation. It continued summoning its powers, directing the earth to attack Ganis.
But the earth couldn’t touch him, not even in the slightest.
Ganis’s speed increased dramatically, dodging every attack effortlessly.
Not far away, a terrified slime stared blankly at the scene.
It couldn’t understand.
Facing a much stronger presence, why resist?
If it weren’t for its fear of the mysterious Savior, trapped and uncertain, it would have fled by now.
At that moment, a small seed of fear grew in the puppet “Lye’s” heart.
The man was charging toward it!
“Anyway, if we delay, you’ll perish from the poison. It will come upon us too,” it muttered to itself.
Unable to understand why the seemingly weak opponent had such unwavering determination, the puppet instinctively took a step back.
As it retreated, it waved its arms, causing the surrounding soil to compress significantly.
Launching hundreds, even thousands, of sharp blades!
But Ganis continued his charge, moving in silence!
Among the endless sharp blades, his body moved with a speed and grace beyond human, dodging every attack effortlessly.
With his unbeatable luck, no strike could touch Ganis.
Onward they went, never looking back!
“This is impossible!”
The puppet witnessed this unimaginable scene, becoming even more confused and frightened. The earth beneath its feet instantly lifted, causing it to step back.
However, Ganis’s speed was incredibly fast, steadily closing in on his enemies while evading attacks!
He remained silent throughout.
Because this is an inevitable battle for salvation, words have become too powerless before the burdens carried on one’s shoulders!
Ganis, the puppet, moved his arms like a conductor, while sharp blades kept coming from all directions, relentlessly trying to kill him.
But each time, it was avoided. Ganis had now approached the puppet!
“You fell into the trap!”
The puppet’s facial expressions were extremely expressive, with its mouth wide open!
In that instant, it became incredibly cunning, astonishingly evil, as if emanating from the depths of its wicked heart!
In the place where it planned to hide, it had already set up numerous sharp blades.
They all came rushing out at this very moment!
Even if luck was on his side and his evasion skills were strong, he still needed room to dodge in order to succeed… In this very moment, Ganis found himself in a desperate situation.
Amidst the overwhelming onslaught, he focused his attention on dodging.
There was absolutely no way to hide this time!
“Plop!”
Even with the best of luck, evading as much as he possibly could, Ganis’ abdomen was still pierced by a sharp blade.
His body was torn apart, covered in wounds.
A large amount of blood mixed with fragments of organs, continuously flowing down. The man’s body was now in a state of utter destruction.
The puppet quickly distanced itself once again, and with a mischievous smile, it spoke:
“Hehehe, you want to get close to me, don’t you… I don’t know why you want to approach me, but my experience tells me to never let the enemy achieve their goal easily.”
The puppet, as a member of the legion, had been fighting in diverse universes for many years, gaining remarkable experience.
Even though Ganis was much weaker than it, it would not underestimate its opponent.
Instead, it wanted to kill the enemy in the most cautious manner!
Ganis looked silently at him, and with just one glance, the puppet suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of horror.
What is happening?
The puppet couldn’t understand.
This man seemed very strange. Why was it that even though he was supposed to be in a desperate situation, there was a tremendously strong illusion that he himself was the one in despair!
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah!”
Ganis tightly gripped the stone and soil blade against his abdomen, roaring in anger as he pulled it out, causing a gush of fresh blood to spray out.
The pain made him even angrier, but there was not a trace of fear or despair.
“Today is a day suitable for dying.”
Ganis took a deep breath.
In the next moment, he swiftly rushed towards the puppet like a shadow!
The puppet said,
“No matter what, you cannot touch me!”
Ganis’ movements were like a black dog trying to catch a hawk. Even if he leaped with all his might, he might not be able to reach the enemy.
And he had only one chance left!
The precious opportunity that he had exchanged with his own life!
Seeing the heavily wounded enemy become even more fierce, the puppet felt a bit scared and wanted to continue backing away. However, it suddenly discovered that the ground beneath was being pressed down by something.
What?
It discovered something with astonishment.
From when did this place become filled with several deep blue tentacles?
These deep blue tentacles had a special stickiness, entangling its legs and the soil beneath its feet completely.
The slime, who had initially lost its will to fight out of fear, remained still in the same spot. However, its numerous tentacles had already secretly burrowed underground.
“Gurgle gurgle!” the slime exclaimed.
It was still very scared, very afraid, but it also knew that it had to assist that person.
The slime didn’t understand what companionship and friendship meant, nor did it comprehend the concept of world destruction… but it knew exactly who treated it kindly and who posed a threat.
Its world was just that simple.
This was a trap that the slime had set from the very beginning.
While Ganis appeared to charge recklessly, he was actually intentionally maneuvering the enemies into the trap!
The puppet puppeteer immediately controlled the earth and stones, transforming them into sharp blades.
In an instant, it sliced through the tentacles and angrily roared, “You wretched natives!”
The power difference between the two sides was very apparent. Even though the slime exerted all its efforts, it only managed to restrain the puppet for a brief moment.
However, that single moment would change everything.
Perhaps this very moment could change the world!
“Thank you!”
Ganis finally rushed towards the face of the puppet “Lye”.
Both sides were so close.
He gave it his all, willing to sacrifice his own life in a final charge, all for this moment.
Approaching the enemy!
The puppet’s face revealed a clear sense of fear. Despite being unharmed and having full control of the situation, it suddenly felt despair as it realized that its attempt to kill its enemy was about to fail.
“Don’t come here!”
It fearfully gathered sharp rocks and blades once again, but once more, the silent Ganis managed to evade them.
In the next instant.
Ganis and the puppet both arrived inside a circular arena, surrounded by a gray mist of emptiness.
The puppet soon discovered something: the seemingly rocky “arena floor” was not made of any ordinary earth or stones, but rather a concept materialized by some kind of power.
It was over.
It knew very well that without nearby soil, its power would be completely ineffective.
Just then,
The sound of applause echoed through the emptiness!
Like thunder crashing down!
In the mist of emptiness, it seemed as if there were countless spectators, enthusiastically cheering them on with passion!
Ganis stood silently before the puppet, resembling a war god molded from blood.
The puppet, however, plopped down on the ground and kept crawling backward, its face expressing a terror not much different from that of a human.
“Don’t kill me!”
“Lye” didn’t hesitate to beg, speaking loudly, “Please spare me. I will control ‘Fear’ and make it retreat. I will also stop participating in the invasion of your world. Whatever you want, I can give it to you!”
“And, the toxins in your body are something that doesn’t exist in this world. If I don’t help you detoxify, you won’t live for much longer!”
Speaking of this, the puppet’s emotions relaxed quite a bit.
Although the slime seemed unaffected by the poison, the man in front of her was nearly dying. It just needed to buy some time.
It continued, “Let’s make a fair deal. If you release me, I will cure you of the poison! Then, I will simply leave this world!”
Ganis finally broke his silence.
“You all…”
His voice was filled with passionate anger and icy hatred.
“You invade the world where I live, killing innocent creatures, destroying and trampling upon the things I hold dear, the things I want to protect… Now you want to leave unscathed.”
“What a proud and arrogant fantasy this is.”
The puppet was terrified and shouted in a loud voice, “What do you want, after all? Don’t you value your life anymore?”
“What I want is your life!”
Ganis tightly clenched his fist and brought it down with a loud cry.
He swung his fist repeatedly, relentlessly pounding the puppet’s body.
His strikes carried a surge of fury, powerful enough to damage the earth elemental made of soil.
If the body breaks and the core inside is attacked, the puppet can be killed!
The clay puppet retaliated with a roar, reshaping its sandy body into sharp blades that stabbed Ganis fiercely, instantly piercing his body in multiple places.
Both sides were injuring each other fiercely.
Ganis’s strength was waning, but the puppet was still alive.
Finally, Ganis fell still.
“Hahaha! I survived! How do you like that, hahaha! No matter how you look at it, the strength difference between us is too great!”
The puppet was ecstatic. It wore a highly advanced defensive relic, which increased the density on its surface and protected its core, allowing it to survive.
“Crash.”
At that moment, it realized the defensive relic had fallen to the ground.
“How could it fall…?”
It quickly noticed the surface of its body cracking open, revealing the deep yellow core beneath.
An overwhelming sense of danger surged through the puppet.
I…
My faith…
My duty and dreams…
All the things I hold dear…
They were all calling out to me.
Ganis, thought to be dead, opened his eyes again. His entire body was engulfed in golden flames.
With his final surge of rage and determination, he unleashed the most powerful strike of his life!
He ignited his fury!
His fist cut through the air like a golden shooting star, sweeping across the empty arena.
As applause thundered, waves of fierce, burning anger spread.
The puppet’s core elements instantly cracked, crumbled, and dissolved!
—
The arena vanished.
Ganis returned to the real world and stood silently in place.
The agony from toxins and injuries was endless, surging through him with each passing moment.
The crack in the sky slowly began to close.
The one who summoned “Fear” had perished, while the massive beast outside the world continued to roar in anger, its giant pupils glaring at the tiny creatures below.
“Roarrr!”
It couldn’t believe its arrival had been halted by such a weak being.
Ganis smiled.
Very well. With this, one less formidable enemy of the Babel Tower remained.
Now, all of this had been worth it.
“Gurgle! Gurgle!”
The slime quickly crawled over, its eyes filled with concern as it looked at the human in front of it.
Ganis, on the edge of death, felt a pain beyond what any human could bear.
Every nerve screamed under the effects of the toxins, and all of his organs were close to boiling over.
Gasping, he, on the verge of fulfilling his mission, “looked” at the slime beside him, a brighter smile spreading across his face.
Ganis realized his thoughts were no different from a child’s.
He gently reassured the slime, “I… I’m fine. The Savior’s power protected me from the pain… Even if I die, I’ll be resurrected by the great Savior…”
“Gurgle!”
The slime, listening to Ganis’s words, believed him.
Exhausted, Ganis sat calmly.
“I might need to rest… Stay here, please.”
The slime nodded, understanding fully, and promised not to run away.
“Gurgle gurgle gurgle!”
The next moment, it sensed Ganis’s vitality fading at an alarming rate, drawing nearer to its end.
The slime stared, confused, unsure of what had happened to him.
“Gulu! Gulu!”
It tried to speak to Ganis loudly, but he, sitting with his eyes closed and a gentle smile on his face, seemed to be in a peaceful slumber.
In his dream, he found the perfect home he had always longed for.
“Fist of Duel” is dead.
