Chapter 464: The Strongest Skill of Mortals—Giant God Summoning Technique!

"Purity Officer!"

"No—!"

Terror-filled screams and sorrowful cries echoed from the ether barge.

Most had just completed their service cycle inside the "Emerald Shadow" Divine Body and were Sylvia’s colleagues; they knew her well and deeply admired this capable, charming Purity Officer.

She was the wise mortal recognized by the Ether Dragon, the brave and martial Purity Officer the Giant God took pride in, the leader trusted by all colleagues and citizens of the Giant God!

If Ms. Sylvia fell, it would devastate all mortals—even the Giant God!

Now, "if" had vanished, replaced by grim certainty!

"Roar—!"

The Dreaming Shore Dragon surged forward.

Though thousands of meters long and mountain-like, it moved swiftly; its massive Divine Body amplified each stride, covering kilometers effortlessly!

"Boom—Boom—Boom—!"

Sylvia drove her "Microscopic Dragon" at full speed, yet the enraged Dreaming Shore Dragon closed the gap in three thunderous steps!

"Roar—!"

Giant jaws plummeted downward!

"Ah—ugh—!"

Its teeth sank deep into the rear half of the Microscopic Dragon’s Divine Body.

The Dreaming Shore Dragon seethed!

As a former "reclusive homebody," it had never endured such humiliation since birth!

Unaccustomed to defeat, it refused all insult.

Revenge brooked no delay—it demanded instant payment!

A vicious glint flashed in the dragon’s eyes.

It would crush this insolent mortal with primal savagery, using razor-sharp teeth and crushing bite force to inflict agonizing death!

"Bang!"

Steel-like giant jaws clamped shut!

Fangs slammed together violently!

"Fizz—!"

The Microscopic Dragon twisted, seeming to burst apart—doomed beyond escape.

But the Dreaming Shore Dragon’s fury spiked when vengeance slipped away.

Instead of gore, foul liquid flooded its maw.

"Roar—Roar—Roar—Roar—!"

Violently shaking its head, it spewed out the revolting "slime" invading its mouth.

To be honest, while not as foul as the earlier spray, it still smelled unpleasant.

What infuriated it more was this "little worm" escaping so swiftly after shedding its lower half, as if nothing had happened.

"Hah…"

"This ‘insectoid dragon clan’ truly excels at survival and repulsiveness."

"No wonder ‘Emerald Shadow’ fashioned it into a ‘Divine Body Puppet’."

"Thanks to it, I gained those extra seconds."

"But not enough!"

"Not far enough!"

Sylvia glanced back at the distant ether barge.

The Captain and crew weren’t foolishly impulsive, chasing to help; instead, they sailed frantically toward Holy Tree Themis at full throttle.

Yet entering the Holy Tree’s inner ring still required time.

"Faster! Faster! Faster!"

"I must stall longer."

Seizing the moment, Sylvia urged her "Microscopic Dragon" to plunge deep into the Sea of Ether.

Below, the waters had long become murky!

Particles of Primal Mud drifted suspended while etheric serpents, etheric worms, larvae of Outer Gods from the Void, and bizarre Outer Gods from the Ether frantically darted about.

Chaos reigned.

Scents, traces, and magical signatures could be utterly obscured.

Dive deep enough, and Dreaming Shore Dragons would likely lose her.

That creature could only rage impotently into the void.

Or…

Unleash fury upon the barge struggling across the Sea of Ether.

"Damn!"

"Can’t let it abandon the chase!"

"Must hold its attention!"

After only brief submersion, Sylvia drove the "Microscopic Dragon" upward, tauntingly waving her severed tail stump.

"Over here!"

"Right here!"

Just as expected…

"Roooar—!"

The Dreaming Shore Dragon, having lost its quarry, rejoiced and lunged violently.

This time, it had grown wiser!

"Boom——!"

The enormous claws slammed Sylvia and her Microscopic Dragon against the Themis Holy Tree from the Ether Sea’s surface!

"Sizzle…"

True to her elite Purity Officer status, Sylvia reacted swiftly.

The Microscopic Dragon coiled into a protective sphere around her just before the building-sized claw struck.

"Ugh… *cough*…"

Yet the impact remained devastating. Internal injuries forced blood from Sylvia’s mouth as crimson trails streaked from her ears and eyes.

Surviving the Dragon God’s divine might combined with such physical force was itself a "Giant God’s Blessing" – no mortal should endure this intact. Sylvia expected nothing more.

Sliding down with her dragon, she crashed into the Ether Sea, left floating helplessly.

"Boom——! Boom——!"

Colossal splashes and thunderous footsteps announced the Dreaming Shore Dragon looming over her.

"Whoosh…"

High-speed gusts erupted from its nostrils, churning the Ether Sea and battering Sylvia’s body.

"Drip…"

"Drip…"

Thick, liquid drops of draconic pressure rained upon the Purity Officer.

Still, she refused to yield.

Faith in the Giant God and the Holy Light from the Sun surging within her defied the crushing weight.

With trembling effort, she drew a handgun.

"Bang——!"

The bullet ricocheted off stonelike divine skin keratin without leaving a mark.

This amused the Dreaming Shore Dragon.

It watched mockingly as its battleship-sized head inched closer, piling despair upon Sylvia with each movement.

"Bang!"

Another futile shot silently deflected.

"Hah…"

Sylvia’s gaze grew unfocused.

Gasping raggedly, she raised her shaking weapon.

The dragon’s derision arrived right on schedule.

"Mortals!"

"Be honored!"

"I, a noble giant dragon, have lowered myself to speak with you out of curiosity!"

"I wonder why you’d do something so meaningless?"

"Look at yourself—writhing in pain, terrified, trembling so badly you can’t even steady your gun!"

"You still think you can shoot down a god?"

Sylvia forced a smile, slowly gathering Holy Light in her palm.

"Fool."

She laughed.

"My trembling isn’t from fear, but because I know my Lord has descended!"

"His power floods my veins!"

"And you—"

"Bang——!"

Gunfire tore through the air again!

"Blood sacrifice for the Giant God!"

"Skulls for the Divine Throne!"

As Sylvia’s cry rang out…

"Huuu… grumble…"

A deep roar vibrated between ether and void!

"Thud… thud… thud…"

"Splash… splash…"

Heavy footsteps echoed with the spray of Ether Sea waves.

The entire Ether Sea instantly silenced.

The Dreaming Shore Dragon turned—

Its vertical pupils locked onto calcite compound eyes!
