Chapter 577: Final Submersion
The terrifying monster swung its tentacles, pouncing as if it wanted to tear apart the helpless blue-haired girl.
Kaluoer vanished from the spot, instantly appearing behind the monster.
With a single blow, she struck it down.
Kaluoer had arrived at the Apocalypse, and with the blessings bestowed by Babel Tower, her strength became incredibly formidable. The ordinary Apocalypse was no match for her.
This tentacled monster, merely at the Crown level of strength, could not withstand a single move and perished instantly.
The blade in Kaluoer’s hand pierced the heart of the monster, sealing its fate.
The enormous tentacle crashed to the ground with a mournful cry, its deep blue blood spilling across the ground, boiling and bubbling. Even in death, its lifeless limbs twitched and slowly stiffened.
Jealousy remained silent for a while.
“A very powerful force…” he muttered. “However, the rules this time clearly state that you can’t directly cause harm to me. Otherwise, even if you win…”
His tone was laced with uncontrollable jealousy.
“A person’s name is as they are.”
Caroline’s immense power naturally ignited intense jealousy in others. It was hard to believe that this girl, once just a tool, had now become stronger than herself, and in such a short time too!
He couldn’t bear it, as madness consumed his heart.
But on the surface, he concealed his jealousy. Like many others, he kept it hidden deep inside, never openly showing it.
Next, it was Kaluoer’s turn to perform the summoning.
She quickly summoned a tiny dark creature, the most basic form of summoning—something even a “Novice” level Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentice could conjure.
But this kind of summoning could not win the game.
Jealousy, with a hint of doubt, wondered if Kaluoer truly wanted to win.
Yet, due to the additional rule “summoning after each summoning, with a gap of only ten minutes,” jealousy could not stop either.
He immediately performed the next summon.
This rule was advantageous for jealousy.
With his powerful mental strength, he could swiftly perform summoning magic, even if the creature was extremely powerful.
He summoned several Crown-level creatures again, and jealousy soon realized something.
“Are you trying to drain my mental energy?” he muttered to himself.
The summoning ritual wasn’t without cost. The summoner must expend mental energy, but Kaluoer always summoned the weakest creatures, preserving more of her energy.
But jealousy found this tactic meaningless.
Her greatest talent was her mental power. No matter how much she expended, her mental energy always exceeded her opponent’s by multiple times.
“Hidden Azure, is this your strategy? It’s useless,” jealousy continued.
Kaluoer remained silent, not uttering a word.
She had no need to speak to this person at all.
According to the Savior’s plan, all she needed to do was follow the instructions.
She would win.
Time passed, and jealousy began to realize something.
The summoning times in this game were limited. They couldn’t keep summoning forever.
Yes, the essence of “Summoning Aberrations” was a game of Executioners. If both summoners refuse to summon powerful aberrations and remain passive, they could sustain a stalemate indefinitely.
Thus, “Summoning Aberrations” had a limit on the number of summons.
No matter how much jealousy or Kaluoer summoned, they could only do so twenty times.
Soon, the summoning counts of the two were nearing their limit.
Jealousy was left with only four chances to summon, while Kaluoer had only three left!
So far, Kaluoer had summoned seventeen times, but each creature was the lowest level of “strangeness”—something even ordinary people could defeat if prepared.
Totally powerless in combat.
Each monster Kaluoer summoned was weaker than the last, most of them falling to Kaluoer’s own blade. In the end, she could only summon the weakest monsters.
Jealousy now fully realized that Kaluoer was trying to deplete his mental strength.
Even though his mental energy far exceeded hers, he didn’t let his guard down.
Next, it was Kaluoer’s 18th summoning.
Jealousy stared deeply at the magic circle, sure the opponent would summon the weakest creature again.
And indeed, Kaluoer summoned the weakest—a small slime.
Jealousy, following suit, summoned a little slime as well.
Retaining the strength of his spirit.
Then came Kaluoer’s 19th summoning.
The Mercury Mask watched intently, wanting to understand her next move. If she couldn’t summon something stronger this time, it would be clear—Kaluoer intended to make her final desperate move.
“Hmph.”
Jealousy had a secret weapon up his sleeve.
A relic passed down through civilization: “Wonderful Journey.”
This relic, shaped like a green bowl with indeterminate patterns, temporarily amplified the user’s summoning ritual. The cost, however, was the permanent loss of some mental power.
He intended to use this relic for his final summon.
Jealousy was determined to summon a powerful monster and force it to eliminate Kaluoer.
Having secured that point, he would deal with the opponent.
Kaluoer’s 19th summoning came, and to Jealousy’s surprise, it was… another slime.
The same meaningless summon performed nineteen times already.
Jealousy understood now. Kaluoer was waiting for the final summoning.
“You’re about to reveal your trump card, Hidden Azure.”
Jealousy waited eagerly for Kaluoer’s final summon, excited, convinced victory was within reach.
—
The final summon began.
Kaluoer fell into deep silence. Despite the ten-minute limit, she remained calm.
Normally, she had never learned summoning spells, making it nearly impossible to summon a powerful creature on the spot.
But Kaluoer had the ability to determine the outcome.
She had postponed using her trump card to wear down her opponent and, in part, to witness Jealousy’s emotional journey. From the certainty of victory to doubt and confusion, and finally, to the defeat of his own actions.
She had always enjoyed a bit of mischief.
“It’s over.”
Kaluoer spoke.
“Accept defeat…”
Suddenly, a terrifying power surged within the young girl.
The Mercury Mask trembled, feeling utterly powerless in the face of this overwhelming force.
“What happened?”
“Why does it feel like the power of an Outer God?” the character wondered.
“It’s an Outer God!” the character gasped.
Ancient Spirit!
Jealousy was consumed by despair, realizing it had lost, no matter what.
The authority of the Ancient Spirit had been summoned.
This was the final “strangeness” that stood out.
Final Submersion.
This card granted the user a portion of the power of the Outer God, hidden deep within Babel Tower, now wielded by Kaluoer.
However, this power came at a price.
After the next Doomsday Crisis, Kaluoer’s soul would be consumed into nothingness, unable to resurrect.
But she trusted in the Savior.
Since He had given the command, she had to use this forbidden power.
There must be a way to save herself.
“Ouch!”
The entire castle seemed frozen in place as an immense heat consumed everything. The previously frozen miles outside evaporated in an instant.
An enormous flame!
It filled everything, roaring.
A terrifying, quasi-divine creature—the king of Flame Demons—was summoned from hell by Kaluoer!
The towering figure loomed into the sky. Even the heavens turned crimson. The colossal humanoid monster, with bull horns and wings, stood thousands of feet tall.
It was born to destroy everything.
Every time it appeared in the material world, it unleashed its full power, obliterating entire kingdoms.
At the same time, Kaluoer used the “Vanishing into Void” technique to avoid the massive destructive force.
She entered the void dimension, silently awaiting the final outcome.
This was why Bai Yan chose her to play the game.
She could protect herself in the final moments.
The Mercury Mask barely had a chance to resist before it was engulfed by an overwhelming surge of heat.
“Oh no! I can’t do it!”
He tried to perform the final summon, but realized there was no time left.
In the next moment, he was completely annihilated by endless flame
