In the eyes of the Evil God.
The scales of victory have completely tipped in his favor.
He laughed wildly, with a sinister style akin to Cthulhu.
"Hahaha—!"
The Evil God let out a deafening laugh, filled with the smugness of surviving disaster and extreme mockery of the insignificant mortals. After a brief moment of embarrassment, his enormous body began to showcase even more terrifying regenerative powers and strength.
The severed tentacles regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, the purifying light of the Starlight Spear was quickly covered by pus, and the impact of the Hymn of the Departed Soul was cushioned by layers of flesh and blood. His power, rather than being weakened, became more violent and unpredictable after devouring Ian's "Power of Paradox"!
"You see it, ants!"
The sixteen faces of the Evil God simultaneously sneered, a sound converging like a shriek of countless spirits, piercing directly into Ian's soul, "Is this the 'gift' you received from communicating with that long-dead residue? With such crude tricks that can't even truly grasp 'concept,' do you dare aspire to shake my 'perfection'?!"
"If you were willing before, I could have given you more! Infinite power, eternal life, a comprehension surpassing everything... but you chose that loser who couldn't even preserve his divine body!" His gigantic purple-red eyes locked onto Ian, the intent filled with blatant temptation and disdain.
"You don't even understand what 'taking sides' means! Open your eyes blinded by ignorance! I am the future! I am the order! I am 'perfection'!"
"Originally, by following me, you would have acquired power far beyond mortal imagination! Your bloodline would have been 'perfectly' sublimated by me! Your magical talents would have forged miracles surpassing deities in this 'perfect' flame! Yet, you chose an ancient residue destined to be buried! Foolish! Pathetic!"
With this laugh, the Evil God no longer remained passive in defense. His gathered all his power, and the "Eye of the Ra" erupted with an unprecedented purple-red light capable of consuming all!
Countless newly born, thicker, more hideous tentacles emerged from his body like giant pythons, possessing the momentum to destroy everything. They no longer merely attacked the Pluton couple but redirected all focus, transforming into a terrifying torrent of pure destructive energy, frantically crushing toward Ian and the Pluton couple behind him!
Within that torrent, Ian even saw traces of the twisted "Concept Annihilation" Divine Authority, like venomous fangs, shimmering ominously.
An apocalyptic pressure descends!
The purple-red torrent composed of pure destructive energy descended like the heavens collapsing, carrying the momentum to annihilate everything, crushing toward Ian, Pluton Osiris, and Isis. The air was compressed to the extreme, emitting a piercing shriek; space itself showed web-like cracks. Ian could clearly see the twisted remnants of "Concept Annihilation" in the torrent, flashing ominously like the fangs of a serpent, targeting his soul.
"Block it!" Pluton Osiris's Hymn of the Departed Soul instantly reached its limit, transforming into an incomparably thick black Shield of Sound Waves formed by the wails of countless lost souls, fiercely meeting the torrent! Isis crossed her hands over her chest, the starlight around her suddenly constricted, then exploded, forming a Star Dome Barrier consisting of a rotating ring of starlight filled with Sealing Runes, standing side by side with the Shield of Sound Waves!
"Boom—!!!"
An indescribable explosion! At the center of the clash of powers, a fatal blinding light erupted! The Shield of Sound Waves violently trembled under the impact of the purple-red torrent, the spectral images of souls on its surface continuously shattered and were annihilated, emitting a sorrowful scream. The starlight rings on the Star Dome Barrier shattered layer by layer, the Sealing Runes fracturing inch by inch, Isis groaned, a strand of starlight-like blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. The two strong defenses rapidly collapsed under the full-force destruction strike of the Evil God, like sandcastles in a storm!
"Now, Ian! The opportunity!" Just as the Shield of Sound Waves was about to shatter, Osiris, with his remaining strength, pushed the residual Power of Sound Waves aggressively toward Ian, forming a strong thrust! At the instant the Star Dome Barrier collapsed, Isis also condensed the final starlight into an arrow, shooting it at a weak energy node near the Evil God's "Eye of the Ra," creating an extremely brief and weak flaw!
Ian, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, seized the thousandth-of-a-second gap purchased by the Pluton couple with their lives and divine power, squeezing out all the magical energy and boiling bloodline power within him, transforming into a jet-black stream of light, rushing straight toward the pulsating "Eye of the Ra" on the Evil God's neck! The tip of his Magic Wand once again condensed the "Concept Annihilation" ripple that glimmered with gold and silver logic chains, with clear intent!
However, the Evil God's reaction was beyond imagination! Just as Ian charged, his enormous body, which had been restrained by the Pluton couple, forcefully twisted at a speed defying logic! Several thick tentacles that had long been lurking, like giant pythons, swept in from tricky angles with a piercing shriek that tore through space! Their target was not Ian himself, but his path forward! The tentacles fiercely lashed at the space, creating a distorted Force Field and energy turbulence, like invisible walls, forcibly diverting Ian's sprint trajectory!
"Pfft!" Ian was hit hard by the turbulence, his magic shield instantly shattered, his body flung like a cut kite, crashing onto a distant dilapidated Temple pillar, which collapsed with a roar, partially burying him. The highly concentrated "Concept Annihilation" ripple disintegrated upon impact.
