Defying the Fate of Beheading
Chapter 754 - 390 The Arrival of the Goddess of Death and Magic, Destruction Day_2
The unavoidable entity was forced to collide its vast being with the Celestial Lord's roar.
For a moment, Louis felt as if he had completely lost his hearing.
But that was just an illusion.
It was simply because he had just heard too intense a noise, resulting in a brief deafness.
Amidst the lightning, Louis saw a figure in the distance rapidly approaching the Cosmic Serpent.
He was shocked and appalled.
Because that person was the captain, Alice.
But her condition today was vastly different from before.
A terrifying power enveloped her.
He widened his eyes in astonishment, "Divine Chosen?"
He couldn't be mistaken.
That familiar power, he had once felt it in Grace and himself.
It was the Divine Power unique to deities.
Not the kind of weak power that divine creatures easily show, but a source of terrifying energy obtained after sharing in the power of a deity.
The thunderous roar resounded again.
A distorted arc of light tore a visible fissure in the air.
The terrifying blade aura enveloped Alice.
A scream of pain echoed.
That slash, like a hot knife through butter, directly evaporated a fifth of the Cosmic Serpent into a mist of blood.
The Snake God roared.
"Vestis! You vile wench!!!"
The Cosmic Serpent frantically charged at Alice.
Of course, Louis knew that the one controlling Alice's body was not the captain he was familiar with.
This kind of terrifying power was also impossible for Alice to possess right now.
But he couldn't just stand by and watch this individual be attacked.
He gritted his teeth, and a telepathic message was sent to Alice:
"I will restrain it, find a way to break free."
The "Alice," engrossed in battling the Cosmic Serpent, raised her head and glanced subtly at Louis.
Without a second thought, Louis transformed the Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Pill in his hand into an ever-extending snake belly sword, instantly binding it to the giant serpent.
Magic halos shimmered on his body.
The aura around him surged increasingly.
He poured all the means he possessed into himself, then launched the Evening Stream Ninth-Level Martial Skill, the Whirlwind Throw.
This martial skill is meant to grasp the enemy's body, using minimal effort to exert great force, turning the opponent into a projectile to cause massive damage.
Simply put... Hulk throwing Loki.gif.
But now, what he was pulling was a colossal entity that would bring tears to even the Hulk's eyes.
The original Whirlwind Throw turned into a means to restrain the actions of the Cosmic Serpent.
Layer upon layer of the Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Pill wrapped around it left clear marks effortlessly on its body.
Flung through the air, blood scattered along the way.
On an ordinary creature, this would already be incomprehensible damage.
But now, what Louis attacked was the Cosmic Serpent, the largest lifeform recorded in the history of the Star Continent.
This constantly tearing and shredding damage was merely a scratch to it.
However, from the very beginning, Louis wasn't aiming to kill the opponent, but to restrain it.
The other end of the snake belly sword, transformed by the Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Pill, was directly connected to the Armory.
Suppressing it with the demiplane was not enough; he unhesitatingly activated [My Wrath is the Gathering Stars].
The terrifying power turned into monstrous waves, tearing Louis's skin and flesh inch by inch under immense force.
Even with the support of [My Wrath is the Gathering Stars], it tore his arm right off.
But ultimately, the actions of the Cosmic World Snake were hindered.
How could other strong individuals just watch such a situation without taking action?
Rule-imbued attacks ceaselessly hammered down on the monster's body.
Under the terrifying impacts, large scale rot began to appear on the Cosmic Serpent's body.
White bones covered in flesh and blood became exposed.
Evidently, this terrifying being, which once created ancient catastrophes, finally revealed its vulnerable side.
But, it wasn't enough.
Far from enough.
"Alice" made another move.
She knew very well how to ruthlessly attack a drowning dog. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฃ๐ธ๐ซ๐ฎ๐.๐๐๐ถ
Without hesitation, she further inflicted damage on the already large wound she had originally caused.
Even the cold sweat from the pain that Louis felt couldn't tell what grudge or grievance Vestis had against the opponent?
He had already guessed the identity of the deity possessing Alice.
Goddess of Magic and Death, Vestis.
Though her title carries the words Magic, Vestis is far from the Goddess of Magic.
The Goddess of Magic, even considering the surrounding worlds, could compete for the position of the strongest deity.
However, despite Vestis being powerful, her strength still pales in comparison to the top deities.
In such a situation, the fact that Vestis was willing to take the initiative to make a move and participate in the battle with her divine descend form was indeed surprising to him.
But the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Not to mention, Vestis had descended on Alice.
He could not possibly ignore Alice.
He looked at his rapidly deteriorating body due to the continuous use of power beyond his physical limits.
He took a sharp breath.
It hurt.
It seemed the first life could not be preserved.
The various competitive magic and combat techniques he usually dared not use were instantaneously ignited at this moment.
The once declining aura returned to its peak at this moment, and he charged forward without hesitation.
Atomic Blast, blooms once more!
The Cosmic Serpent, already wounded, barely managed a whimper this time.
Louis laughed heartily.
Weren't you just fond of barking like a dog?
Now, why is there no strength left to scream in pain?
In the scorching heat, his body instantly melted away.
Alice, who was still frantically destroying the flesh of the Cosmic Serpent, paused for a moment.
A hint of sadness flickered in her eyes.
"He will resurrect" a voice echoed in her heart.
"I know"
"So don't overthink it, kill this guy, and you will have great benefits."
"Mm"
The thoughts between the human and the god flashed in a millisecond.
Meanwhile, Louis's originally dissipated flesh began to coalesce rapidly as if time reversed.
The aura around him rose to its peak.
"Let's start round two!"
Louis murmured.
"You think you can kill me?"
The cold voice echoed across the heavens and the earth.
Louis frowned but didn't retreat because the other party threatened him.
He could see the other party was already at the end of its strength.
If he didn't attack now, it would be much harder to restrain it later.
But unexpectedly, the attacks they launched next were all fully taken by the Cosmic Serpent, instead of retaliating on the spot.
Pale white bones were exposed one by one, its aura grew weaker, yet it remained even more silent.
Suddenly, it spewed a waterfall-like river of blood, the foul blood falling from the sky, submerging the surroundings.
Amid the river of blood, wild pythons surged.
A dazzling six-faced crystal floated in the air.
The vast and profound essence of the rules permeated over it.
Everyone's eyes turned red in an instant; they had never seen such a treasure.
"It's its core!"
"My god, if I absorb that thing, I will surely ascend to godhood."
"Perhaps not just godhood."
"Charge, don't let it get away!"
Some couldn't withstand the temptation and charged forward.
But most chose to retreat.
Like Louis, he felt a mild warmth emanating from the marked spot by the Cosmic Serpent earlier, instilling in him a sense of life-threatening danger.
"Retreat." A cold voice came, "Alice" grasped Louis, and instantly fled from the area of trouble.
Just as they left, the terrifying tide of rules was released in an instant.
Everything in his gaze seemed to return to chaos at that moment.
The encroaching gray mist spread out, engulfing everyone.
In the darkness, Louis saw Alice's body turning into a light orb, breaking through the darkness and escaping the peril.
But within the chaos, a pair of mocking eyes suddenly appeared.
The Cosmic Serpent, already reduced to bones, used its last strength to attack the pair.
"Vestis, die!"
"Alice" coldly eyed it and snorted, "The only one to die is you."
In the next moment, Alice engaged in a desperate battle with it.
It was a struggle of utmost effort.
Not something an ordinary demigod could partake in.
Louis did not last long, was severely injured, and passed out amidst the ruins.
While the battle between the two great beings above continued for hours until it completely dissipated.
