Chapter 327

"Alarm! High-energy reaction detected ahead!"
"All units, retreat!"
"Repeat!"
"Alarm! High-energy reaction detected ahead!"
"All units, retreat!"
…
A piercing alarm rang through the Soul Network.
In truth, for the spider-like mechs on the front lines, this alarm meant nothing.
They’d already sensed the energy gathering and foreseen the danger!
"Evacuate immediately."
Loseta decisively issued the command in her cool voice.
"Swish…"
The jumping spider mechs leaped from the Chaos Demon God’s back.
Almost the next instant…
"Boom—!"
Energy erupted from the Chaos Demon God’s back like a volcanic eruption!
A filthy red torrent of energy speared toward the heavens!
"Ah—!"
Screams tore through the Soul Network.
Several spider-like mechs that had advanced too far were swallowed by the terrifying chaos torrent, vanishing without a trace as they melted away.
"Return to the Giant God…"
"May the Giant God have mercy on the warriors’ souls."
Teammates had sacrificed their lives, yet Loseta could do nothing.
Against the Chaos Demon God—especially a core councilor-level Chaos Demon God—mortals baring their fangs to inflict skin injuries and pain was already worthy of pride.
But this pain changed nothing.
The demon god hadn’t concentrated energy at his mouth’s front to unleash it upon his own back.
The volcanic eruption-like energy torrent was merely spillover from forbidden spells.
Loseta and her "jumping spider mechs" couldn’t stop Walifer’s charged forbidden spell—only dodge aside.
"Light of the demon god!"
"Boom—!"
The erupting energy torrent drained color from the world; blinding light and overwhelming energy instantly blotted out all sound.
The massive torrent of energy almost instantly burned through the few "Giant Pillars" blocking its path.
The energy’s density was so great that the "Giant Pillars" didn’t even have time to ignite before turning to ash, completely evaporated.
However, faced with such a terrifying blow, Valaharl was neither discouraged nor did she entertain any thoughts of giving up the fight.
"Oh, Giant God!"
"Please lend me your power!"
"Hah—!"
The goddess’s illusion floating above the "Sacred Ground of Dantalin" immediately coalesced into pure energy and consciousness, infusing "God’s Dantalin" with strength.
The previously independent "Giant God’s Tower" gained a central figure!
"Hiss… Hoo…"
Almost in an instant, the "Giant God’s Tower" on the "Sacred Ground of Dantalin" collectively unfurled the folds under their caps, gently shaking.
They fully unleashed the "balls of light" they had not yet released!
In that moment, the entire "Sacred Ground of Dantalin" was enveloped in a sea of light balls.
"Ugh…"
The brightness of the Holy Light from the Sun suddenly increased, making even Walifer give an uncomfortable growl.
The magic circuits within the Chaos Demon God became chaotic once more.
The powerful "Light of the demon god" was immediately weakened, fluctuating in strength like a flickering light bulb or a faucet with poor water flow.
But this was not the end of Valaharl’s counterattack.
"Power drifting in the wind! Please follow my will!"
"Concentrate the Holy Light from the Sun together!"
Valaharl invoked her powers.
This was one of the few things she could do as the "Will of the Bubble World."
Yet, Valaharl was not discouraged.
"Thank you, majestic and generous Giant God!"
"For allowing me, the ‘Will of the World’, who can only maintain the Crystal Walls and passively defend, to have a weapon for active resistance!"
"Gather—!"
"Buzz—!"
The balls of light vibrated loudly, coalescing into a bright "sun," radiating intense energy!
The golden sunrise rose high, then suddenly dove downward!
"Buzz—!"
With a soaring roar, the golden sun collided fiercely with the dirty red torrent of energy!
The power of the Giant God clashed with the Light of the demon god!
"Boom—Boom—Boom—!"
A thunderous roar erupted from Valaharl!
“Bang—!”
“Ugh…”
The massive impact forced a pained grunt from Miss Valaharl.
The Chaos Demon God’s power proved terrifying—the golden sunrise actually caved inward, dented by that dreadful torrent of energy.
Yet her struggle wasn’t wasted.
“Rise—!”
Valaharl merged with "God’s Dantalin" reappeared, teeth gritted, arms crossed in defense.
“Filthy abomination!”
“You advance no further!”
As Valaharl shouted, "God’s Dantalin" drained its potential once more, releasing countless golden balls of light. They drifted, caught by the wind’s energy, and merged back into the golden "sun."
The situation quickly stabilized.
“But this isn’t enough!”
“The Giant God’s power lent to me can do far more than block your petty tricks!”
“Evil god!”
The Will of the World slowly pushed her crossed arms forward in a thrusting motion.
The golden balls of light gradually bulged forward, forcing the torrent of energy back inch by inch.
But Valaharl aimed for more.
“Begone—!”
“Rise—!”
The world’s voice echoed!
Then…
“Buzz—!”
The "Light of the Evil God" wailed suddenly as it was pushed aside helplessly by overwhelming, restraining force!
“Boom—Boom—Boom—!”
The distant wasteland instantly scorched under the energy torrent.
Hard rocks melted into liquid before evaporating completely; deeper bedrock lay exposed as lava flowed everywhere with shrill screams.
Surrounding land melted and flowed.
Soon this place might become a vast basin—its interior and surroundings utterly coated in "evil glass"!
“Good, my turn now!”
“Chaos Demon God!”
“Go—!”
Valaharl screamed, hurling the "sun" fiercely at Walifer.
Though it had been weakened significantly by the "Light of the Demon God," its power was still formidable.
“Boom—!”
The golden sun struck the head of the Chaos Demon God, causing an earth-shattering explosion.
“Whew… Whew… Whew…”
That last move had drained all of Valaharl’s strength.
She lowered her head, breathing hard.
Though it was just a huge illusion, the image showed her current state, soaked in sweat, with blood leaking from her eyes and mouth from too much effort.
Her eyelids drooped, and her red pupils seemed to lose focus.
Her mind felt like it might break any second.
Of course, after paying such a high price, she got something back.
At least, it looked that way on the surface.
“Hiss…”
Walifer used up all the magical energy in his body, his mouth and face covered in thick smoke from the burning Holy Light from the Sun, hiding his whole face.
He seemed beaten down and pitiful.
But…
“Whew…”
The powerful core councilor blew gently, clearing the hot smoke and dust.
“Oh?”
“You’re quite skilled.”
The Chaos Demon God tilted his head a little.
His look made Valaharl’s pupils shrink tight!
Feelings rushed back into her lifeless Double Eyes.
But this time, it wasn’t fight; it was fear!
The core councilor of the Chaos Council, the sixth seat Walifer, came out of the attack without a scratch!
Not one burn mark showed on his face!
“But thinking that way sells yourself short.”
Walifer stared at the “Sacred Ground of Dantalin,” as if he saw Valaharl’s ghostly form and the fear in her eyes.
“That last strike was pretty strong.”
“I had to use my leftover magic to block it.”
“My face still hurt from the hit, and it used up all my magic.”
Here, rare bits of "wariness" showed in Walifer’s eyes.
"However, this was where it ended."
"My magic had run out, but you hadn’t forgotten, right…?"
"As a Chaos Demon God, besides magic, I still possessed my Divine Body!"
"So…"
"Boom—!"
Having exhausted his magic and transformed into a pure giant beast, the demon god lifted his colossal foot and stomped into "Dantalin"!
He aimed to completely crush Valaharl’s resistance with his Divine Body!
"Boom—!"
The "Giant God’s Tower" toppled and collapsed under the Chaos Demon God’s Colossal Divine Body, shattering into pieces and being trampled beneath his massive feet.
"Defend Valaharl!"
"Blood sacrifice for the Giant God! Offerings to the divine throne!"
The spider-like mechs charged forward again.
But…
"Ah!?"
"What is this?"
"I’m stuck!"
"The mechs are melting!"
"Ah—!"
The jumping spider mechs that had leaped onto Walifer’s back became stuck in the sticky liquid; the terrifying corrosive fluid steadily dissolved their structures.
Only the "Third Living Saint," Loseta’s "avatar body," resisted the slime’s corrosion.
Though the slime’s stickiness didn’t hinder Loseta much, it still blocked her venomous fangs.
"Hehe…"
"Did you think the same trick would work against a core councilor—especially me, Walifer?"
"My Divine Body constantly alters itself at a microscopic level, instantly countering such petty tactics!"
"Mortals, go play somewhere else!"
"Boom—!"
With that, Walifer reared onto his hind legs and violently swept his forelimbs!
Another vast stretch of Giant God’s Towers tilted and crashed down.
"Ha… Hahaha…"
He stared at the goddess’s phantom, relishing her gritted teeth and resentment, and laughed heartily.
"Valaharl, savor this helplessness!"
…
But then…
"Hmm?"
Walifer noticed several inconspicuous "Giant God’s Towers" near his feet.
They resembled small mounds more than actual towers.
They seemed to hope obscurity would spare them from destruction.
"Oh?"
"How considerate of you to design them this way."
"Must be hiding civilians, right?"
"Hehe…"
"Mortals, despair!"
The Chaos Demon God raised his forelimb and stomped down with crushing force!
