Chapter 551: Capture the Leader First

"Rwaaaaaaah——!"

"Groooooar——!"

Frantic roars echoed through the Ether Sea.

Dozens of "Infernal Mad Gods" swam swiftly, surging forward.

Their thick fangs jutted from their mouths; though not the two frontmost teeth but the third pair, their length qualified as saber teeth.

These violent, mad deities trailed long streaks across the Endless Ether.

Chaotic howls reverberated between void and ether.

But listening carefully revealed a pattern beneath the frenzy.

"Hmm, like a lead singer and chorus."

"One startlingly fierce roar would ignite a tumultuous symphony."

"So…"

"Behind these chaotic gods lurked a mighty leader."

"One holding absolute authority over the swarm."

Angna’s avatar body hid within the "Ancient Cup Domain."

She strained to listen.

Though her serpentine form lacked ears, vibration sensors along its sides detected water tremors.

The linear sensors functioned like passive sonar, pinpointing sound sources by timing the tremors.

"Hsss…"

"Hsss…"

Her crimson forked tongue flicked out, tasting magical particles and divine aura from the Ether Sea. Through them, Angna identified the intruders.

"A pack feigning chaos yet bound by order."

"They crave only battle."

"Heh…"

"You’ve come to the right place."

"For I… was once a gladiator!"

"Great is the Giant God!"

Angna prayed silently, awed by the Giant God’s design.

"Albert Drake, guard the Ether Sea behind the dam, Far Reaching Star, and the First Ancient Cup Domain."

…

"Got it…"

Somehow, Albert Drake’s voice sounded listless.

"Uh…"

"Next time, the Giant God will surely bless you!"

"Mhm!"

Angna had meant to offer comfort, but Albert Drake exploded with fury instead.

"Hey!"

"Is being ‘blessed’ by the Giant God really such a delight?!"

"Quit bragging!"

"Leave me be!"

With that, she abruptly ended the connection.

"Uh…"

Angna scratched her head.

"Did I say something wrong…?"

"Still, Albert Drake has to guard the Ether Sea behind the dam and the First Ancient Cup Domain—she definitely can’t intervene."

"The Chaos Demon Gods allied with the Giant God are closing in."

"A powerful ether deity is also swimming across the Abyssal Sea to reinforce us."

"But distant water won’t save a burning home."

"At least initially, I must face this alone!"

These words should have carried despair and hardship—a lone deity confronting dozens of foes.

The largest among them nearly matched her in size.

Her "avatar body" possessed no remarkable magic power.

Total disadvantage.

Yet excitement vibrated in Angna’s voice.

"Hiss…"

Her crimson tongue darted across her lush lips!

"I can feel it…"

"The avatar body buzzing with excitement."

"The instincts sealed within ache for battle!"

"It will prove itself the true sovereign of this Ether Sea!"

"So let it be king versus king!"

"To crush a rebellion, capture its leader first!"

—-

"Waaaaaah——!"

"Roar!"

As a group of "roaring" Infernal Mad Gods approached the Second Ancient Cup Domain, they grew even more excited.

They could smell the richness of these waters.

They also sensed the weakness of these waters.

They wanted to fight because fighting gave them joy, but if there was no fight, destroying things made them just as happy.

These waters might not have any worthy opponents, but there were plenty of things worth destroying.

"Wow—ah ah ah—!"

The leader, the largest Infernal Mad God, roared at the "young fellows" behind it, telling them to wait, as it would dive first to start the destruction!

However, at that moment…

"Wooh… rumbles…"

The Ether Sea rippled uneasily.

Deep waves struck their bodies.

This scary, deep vibration could be felt without ear blades or any other organs; it went through flesh and hit bones, shaking the souls of the Infernal Mad Gods.

"Wooh…"

"Hiss…"

Their unstoppable momentum suddenly stalled.

The Infernal Mad Gods stopped and listened carefully, feeling the ripples hit their souls, trying to find where the strange vibrations came from.

But…

"Wooh… rumbles…"

The vibrations sounded again.

The whole Ether Sea seemed to shake, with ripples coming from everywhere, so they couldn’t pinpoint the source.

They felt like they were fighting an invisible enemy they couldn’t touch.

A formless god, size and shape unknown, seemed to float nearby, like a ghost.

Fear grew in their souls, slowly numbing their bodies and magic.

Even the mad ones could feel fear!

Finally!

"Roar!"

The largest leader could no longer hold back.

It angrily roared at the "young fellows," scolding them for bringing shame.

"Roar—!"

It recklessly screamed and broke away from the group.

Its colossal Divine Body suddenly plunged into the Ether Sea!

It needed to dive deeper to drag out that ghostly thing, to wake up the "young fellows" behind it, and to wash away its shame!

Yes.

Even the leader felt a twinge of fear when the ghostly vibration hit its soul.

This feeling brought it great shame.

But after looking around, it seemed it hadn’t found any ghostly thing.

However…

The leader didn’t notice that behind it, a huge "Color Block" that blended into the Ether Sea suddenly moved.

"Boom—!"

That enormous "Color Block" attacked!

It revealed its true form—a long, elegant colossal Divine Body.

Its flat tail swished hard, pushing the Divine Body forward fast!

"Ah—woo—!"

At the front of the "Color Block," two mismatched large red parts and a scary pale white part appeared!

That was a massive mouth and sharp teeth!

"Roar!?"

The leader turned and saw the giant mouth rushing towards it!

It wanted to turn and fight, but it was too late.

"Thud—!"

The giant jaws bit down hard on the neck of the Infernal Mad God, violently swinging its huge head and leaving a long trail of blood in the Ether Sea!
