Chapter 994: Chapter 547: For Every Cause There Is an Effect—Your Retribution Is Me!

Crackle...

The tiger whale’s head exploded into fragments of flesh, Bone Crusher, brain matter, and semi-elementalized black water, scattering across the entire sea territory.

However, even in this state, the latter half of Dagon’s body was still writhing to heal its wounds, attracting scattered flesh and blood to reassemble into a complete [Abyssal Horror].

Even though most of its resistance power was lost, this Fifth Order Pseudo-God was still far from true death.

The physical life force of a Fifth Order [Pseudo-God] is as tenacious as the mental obsession of a Fifth Order Legend.

At this moment, Violet transformed into a Siren Banshee and descended beside Byron, wearing Queen Freyja’s Deity Mask.

She took out her First-Class Holy Relic [The First Bolt-Action Rifle] and aimed at Dagon’s body, ready to shout, "Master, the times have changed."

Effect: "Whether the opponent is an elemental creature, evil spirit, bizarre creature, or any other extraordinary being, your big spear will inflict real physical damage.

Except for Seventh Order True Gods, no one can be immune. All transcendent abilities are just flashy, and they all end up losing a life.

If one shot doesn’t kill, then take two shots.

I’ll even show you how gods are killed by physical extermination!"

With this insurance in hand, there is no need to probe the death threshold of a Fifth Order Pseudo-God; one can forcibly send them to Hell.

Dagon also felt the danger keenly, speeding up the writhing of flesh but hopelessly realizing that he couldn’t be faster than the opponent’s bullet.

Then he tried to activate the hidden trick left on his daughter to preserve his soul by using the Goddess trained as a resurrection vessel, severely lacking in transcendent knowledge.

Only to discover that his daughter Freya’s body had long been occupied by another consciousness, with both spirit and body transformed into someone else’s shape, comprehensively resisting his invasion.

The power level was just as unmatched as when he was at his peak, carrying a strong sense of oppression, once felt from the God King mask of [Prophecy, Royal Iron, and Mad Hunt Deity].

The soul just left the body, and with a "bang," it got bounced back.

With the last card failed, he couldn’t help but let out a desperate howl like a lone wolf.

Byron transformed back into human form from a humpback whale, calmly walking on water to face him, smiling mischievously:

"Mr. Dagon, I know you’re anxious, but don’t be too hasty.

Let me give you a hand."

He raised his right hand, igniting five blue ghost fires at his fingertips, forcefully pulling a still-struggling semi-transparent figure from the tiger whale’s corpse.

Dagon’s soul was no longer human-shaped, but a soft-bodied creature like an octopus, probably his mythical form.

When forcibly dragged out by Byron, countless tentacles were still clinging tightly to his flesh, unwilling to be manipulated.

"Surgical Operation Table, unfold!"

Buzz—!

The originally three-meter-diameter [Surgical Operation Table], after Byron became a god, expanded its diameter at least tenfold, with the qualitative change in Divine Aura and medical authority.

After implementing "physical anesthesia" on Dagon’s soul, it effortlessly severed the final bond between his soul and flesh.

Then blue flames drilled into the depths of Dagon’s soul through his pores.

This Pseudo-God finally understood what Byron intended, and realized why his foolish daughter was so utterly loyal to Byron.

Struggling painfully:

"No... No... I am the world’s oldest pureblooded Bayfolk, having personally witnessed the glorious era of Bayfolk plundering the continent. You cannot do this to me, ahhhh!"

The nature of a god grants him stronger resistance, lasting longer, but it only increases his suffering without any use.

Soon, a trace of blue flame appeared deep in his eye sockets.

Subsequently, reddish Divine Aura exploded from Byron’s palm, sweeping across the entire sea territory instantly, gathering all Dagon’s body tissue and piecing it back into his original shape.

During this process, Byron also added [Panacea] from within his body, completing the First Embrace ritual, fully mastering Dagon’s soul and flesh.

Of course, for a god whose soul and body are indistinct, this is equivalent to simultaneously mastering his Divine Aspect and Beastliness.

Finally, he forcefully pushed Dagon’s soul back into his body.

[Abyssal Horror] Dagon reverted to human form, with only a slight struggle in his eyes, before respectfully kneeling with one knee, bowing before Byron and Violet, shouting:

"Chief God, Goddess Queen, your servant Dagon offers you his heart."

Thus transformed into Byron’s first Fifth Order [Wild Hunt Servant] under his command, also the first official Lesser God.

Then riding Phantom Warhorse, the "Mad Hunt Legion" with ghostly fires swirling around delivered the other two Gods of Youth, Eton and Saul, gravely injured by Dagon, along with War God Tyr secretly subdued by Byron earlier, placing them before them for the same transformation.

The intense fate fluctuations originally generated by Dagon and the Deep Dive Church also normalized.

Without disturbance in the fate aspect, it naturally wouldn’t draw attention from "History of the Silver Continent," allowing Byron to win a minor victory in this distant confrontation with the mastermind.

The wedge within the Old God Church Coalition was solidly hammered down.
