Starting with Growing Mushrooms-Chapter 422 - 325: The Final Victory and Defeat

"Is he crazy?"

Deep within the Death World, Wolf whispered, unable to suppress his exclamation: "Isn’t this victory enough? Does he have to chase into the Death World too?"

Beside him, God Li Wei frowned slightly: "This guy, such a temper."

In his view, Surya was almost certainly doomed.

Originally, having lost all Divine Power and fallen back to a mortal state, Surya found it challenging to withstand the terrifying side effects of the "Eleven Gods" transformation.

Intentionally defeated by the opponent, leaving behind Rebirth, Concealment, and Immortal.

Was to conveniently give him a "healing potion" to prevent him from dying in this world as a mortal.

A person standing at the Peak of numerous myths, to die like this would be too unfortunate.

But the proud Surya chose another path.

Not using these three divine powers to save his mortal life...

Instead, decisively committing suicide.

Even if he knew clearly that the postmortem him could only live for one hundred seconds.

Once again activating the God transformation form, after one hundred seconds, the terrifying side effects would cause him to truly perish.

Then, it seemed that no one could save him.

"In this era, the gods relatively have two lives, another life after death, but if he really seeks death..."

God Li Wei watched that fiercely spirited godly figure charge into the Death World,

"Is dignity and honor more important than life?"

"You could have retreated."

"Going back to the parallel world, you’d still be the supreme God capable of surpassing to the next epoch, capable of weathering Chaos’s reset."

"But you, from the Otherworld, chose this dead-end path instead."

God Li Wei slowly stood up, a hint of respect flashing in his eyes, "This pride of yours, I acknowledge it."

As soon as the words fell, a golden blazing sun suddenly rose in the sky of death.

A fifteen-halo divinity slowly descended.

Beside him, Wolf exhibited a look of surprise, beginning to retreat silently, guessing already what was about to happen in this Death World.

"This place isn’t enough for our battle."

"This time, we can’t go to the outside world, so let’s expand here."

Surya’s voice had just reached, and the two almighty gods almost simultaneously chose to expand the extent of death.

"What a joke." On the other side, Mandar, the child of the Dead Heaven’s Law shouted: "Devouring the world of the living, wasn’t this my previous method for expanding the Death World? How are they more professional than me?"

Seemingly with his shout, the gaze of the two gods fell on him, seemingly having thought of a more efficient solution.

"Mandar, I order you to expand the entire Death World." X2

The two gods almost spoke this sentence simultaneously.

As soon as the words fell, things were set in motion.

Under Mandar’s incredulous gaze, his body and flesh strangely split into two, under the forcible activation by the wisdom of the two gods, transforming into two fairies.

Being divided into two entirely new fairy heavenly laws, each flew before the two gods, kneeling on one knee and proclaiming:

"If it is your will, I shall comply."

The two new little heavenly laws, as the world itself, began to rapidly expand the entire Death World, much like rearranging the organization of internal organs.

The world of the living.

Xiangtuo Mo exclaimed: "The two gods are practically irresponsible madmen, fighting again, and poor Mandar, used by them to expand the battlefield!"

"We must protect the world again."

"Huh?"

"Yes, we just protected the world of the living from being shattered, now we should protect the world of the dead from being shattered."

"Then what should we do?"

"Fortify the boundaries of death, in case death gets breached, the concept between life and death becomes blurred, and our Magic World’s universal Law loses its order!"

Xiangtuo Mo and the Goddess of Fertility began communicating continuously.

Very soon they smoothly started protecting this elevated world in the Eleven Trials once again.

Soon after, all of death welcomed a merciless natural disaster.

The gods on both sides simultaneously struck, as if anything material was as fragile as tofu.

Furthermore.

They seemed even stronger.

Surya’s body was accumulating momentum: "Now I possess Rebirth, Concealment, Immortal, in essence, I am an invisible God with physical immunity, and magic immunity."

"I have your power; how can you pierce my defenses?"

His eyes fixed on God Li Wei in front of him, "And your concealed defense has been seen through by me and can protect you no longer."

"Not only do you have a transformation form." God merely glanced at the other lightly, "Then let me activate my limited-time mode too, you only have one hundred seconds?"

"If the earlier victory left you unsatisfied, and you insist on a complete defeat to be satisfied, I shall oblige you too."

In an instant, God also initiated his power.

More advanced than upright shadows, the ultimate Concealment "XXXX" commenced, seemingly stepping into an inscrutable, unseeable obliteration form.

"Where did he go?"

God Surya grew solemn, "Is it a more advanced Concealment? This world’s god is probably an illegitimate child of the Longevity God, does he even have such core power?"

"This form of his, like mine, is not lasting, the side effects great!"

"Wait... who is this ’he’ I’m referring to..?"

Surya sensed he was under some unknown and terrifying attack.

The opponent fighting him suddenly blurred uncannily.

Name, identity, age, gender, powers possessed...

My opponent... who is it?

Surya horrifyingly realized: if not for possessing the strongest Wisdom, the strongest memory, perhaps he would already have utterly forgotten about battling an opponent.

’Eerily to the extreme’

’Ultimate Concealment’

’The world forgets him, yet the side effects of this form are equally terrifying, once trapped in such a state too long, he too would forget himself, lost in eternal concealment, turning into a ghost in the Mythical Era of antiquity.’

"Behind you!"

A faint fist quietly attacked from behind him.

In this form, Surya with the Eleven Halos was equally strong, and his omniscient and omnipotent nature still sensed some traces of Concealment.

Rather than saying it was sensed.

It’s more accurate to say that if the opponent attacks, they have to exit the Concealment state, revealing a flaw.

At the moment of attack, it is no longer absolute Concealment, and a weakness can be felt.

"What a strange power."

"A conceptual assassin? But not invincible, once attacking, it will reveal fluctuations."

God Surya also opened the upright shadow and entered the Concealment form, "This battle is indeed interesting enough, so, here I come."

With that, he stepped forward, as if a drop of water merged into the ocean, disappearing into the world.

The entire world suddenly became quiet.

The two gods seemed to vanish without a trace.

"What’s going on? Can anyone tell me? What happened?" Seeing this scene, Cain shouted frantically, "What is their battle about? Where did the two gods go?"

Next to him, Xiangtuo Mo said, "They are still fighting; it’s just that they are both Concealment Gods, and now we can’t see their fighting figures."

Cain’s gaze fell on the silent Death World: "But their battles should produce shockwaves, change the terrain, and cause world upheaval, yet there’s no sign of battle in the Death World."

Even if their speed is too fast to see, there should still be collision marks, right?

Xiangtuo Mo looked meaningfully at the Death World, "When did you have the illusion that they didn’t produce battle marks?"

"But the environment in the Death World has never changed," Cain said.

"No, the environment in the Death World is always changing, every minute and every second causing world upheaval. It’s just under Concealment that makes us forget the changes; we think the world started that way."

Xiangtuo Mo smiled faintly, "Even if the ocean turned into land the next moment, we’d think it was always like that."

No more words.

The final showdown erupted.

The two gods, who simultaneously entered Concealment form, only had a hundred seconds for their battle.

However, possessing a more advanced, more unseen [XXXX], God Li Wei probably still holds a considerable advantage.

Ultimately, it was Surya’s time that was too short.

Even if he becomes the strongest spear, piercing the strongest shield will also take time.

"Does my life only have a hundred seconds? It’s quite tricky!"

In the Concealment conceptual world, the two sides fought more and more crazily.

After thirty seconds.

The two even grew tired of fighting so monotonous, their pride driving them towards the next possibility.

"God Surya, do you want the [XXXX] Divine Power? If you want it, I’ll give it to you, for you are too weak; I want to see you unable to withstand the side effects."

"God Li Wei, do you want seven destinies? I can give them to you too! You’re too foolish; I want to see you take this step."

The more they fought, the more insane they became; the faster they fought.

A halo formed behind them one after another; they both entered each other’s form.

The powers of both sides began to call, began to merge, transforming into part of the other’s omnipotence.

...

In the real world.

Xiangtuo Mo and the others quickly discovered that the Death World crystallized, becoming a crystal-clear world, where sand, valleys, oceans turned into crystals.

"The Death World seems to have been crystalline from the beginning."

"Yes."

"They are fighting within the crystallized Death World."

"Wait, who is fighting with God Surya?"

In the next moment, the Death World turned into a dust-covered desert, the earth torn apart, stones floating in the air, space ocean forming a massive vortex floating within.

The Death World became a giant hourglass.

The gods seemed not to see the environmental upheaval of the Death World.

"The Death World seems like an hourglass from the beginning."

The gods deeply agreed.

At this time, having received the gift of [XXXX] Divine Power, God Surya, the gods also gradually forgot his name and identity.

"Wait, what are we watching?"

"Yeah? Why are we staring at the Death World?"

"It seems... it seems there was something important?"

In the eerie silence, they exchanged glances, feeling the sense of incongruity getting stronger.

They vaguely felt as if something had fought over there just now?

But soon.

Everyone no longer cared.

They seemed to completely forget the existence of the two gods.

As if the mythical history of this world had never shown traces of gods appearing.

The gods naturally began to focus on their work, forgetting about the battle.

As if it was endless ages.

But in reality, it seemed to have just been a simple passing of 100 seconds.

The busy gods suddenly remembered.

"Wait, they’re still fighting!"

"What are we doing?"

When they recalled, the answer to the battle appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Because everyone saw a figure re-emerge in the Death World, Concealment dissipating, a scene that was unforgettable for a lifetime slowly emerged.

God Li Wei erected a monument deep in death.

"Surya"

It seemed to become an eternal monument within death, symbolizing traces of a certain existence’s glorious life.
