Chapter 586: Qin Chu’s Decapitation
Little Shaye naturally didn’t expect to directly shatter the soul of the God of Blood, Death, and Darkness with a mere Soul Storm. An Evil God’s soul was incredibly powerful, definitely not something easily destroyed.
But even a slight disruption was good.
Having experienced the previous battle against the Lord of Pleasure, Little Shaye knew very well that directly confronting an Evil God head-on in the early stages was suicidal. Finding a way to stall for time was the best battle strategy.
Little Shaye’s actions were quite effective. Under the cover of darkness, the Evil God truly didn’t seem to notice her.
Just as the Soul Storm was about to hit the Evil God’s eyes, a sudden change occurred. A large hand appeared from behind, accurately grasping Little Shaye’s body in its palm.
“Darkness!”
“You probably don’t know, but I also wield the authority of darkness. Your disguise is useless before me.”
With a gloomy voice, the Evil God’s fingers suddenly tightened. A bang sound, and Little Shaye’s body instantly exploded.
But a wisp of black smoke drifted out from between the Evil God’s fingers. In the distance, the black fog recondensed, and Little Shaye’s body reformed. The sneak attack failed, but Little Shaye wasn’t disappointed at all.
She was just trying to stall for time. Even a single second was a victory.
This Evil God hadn’t lost his divine status yet; this wasn’t the time for a direct confrontation.
While the Evil God’s attention was on Little Shaye, Nagath also wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
His eyes suddenly became hazy, even somewhat vacant.
The Demon King was definitely not weak.
He was just afraid of the Evil God’s reputation. Once the fear dissipated and courage was reborn, he would let all living beings see just how exaggerated the Demon King’s power was.
His hands raised high. Above his head, a mass of crimson flames appeared, like a blazing sun. Beside his body, lightning and fierce winds intertwined, forming a destructive domain.
The burning flames writhed, gradually forming a terrifying, indescribable giant face, a huge, flaming skull.
The firelight even dispelled the surrounding darkness, bringing light back to the world.
The next instant, the giant skull, even larger than the Demon King’s body, opened its terrifying maw and let out a frantic roar.
With a surge of scorching heat, the gaping maw lunged towards the Evil God’s head.
In the eyes of the God of Blood, Death, and Darkness, this skull posed no threat to him. But being bitten by such a filthy creature from the lower world was something he absolutely wouldn’t allow.
His left arm lifted, a fist slamming towards the giant skull.
Rumble…
With a deafening sound, the giant skull instantly shattered.
But the surrounding flames didn’t disappear, still burning fiercely. As if drawn by some force, the flames instantly recondensed, directly engulfing the Evil God’s fist.
The flames burned the Evil God’s arm. Although unable to incinerate his flesh and blood, they burned away all the hair on his arm.
Undoubtedly, this scene clearly enraged the Evil God.
His attention was mainly on that fellow Qin Chu. Who could have imagined other insignificant insects would seize the opportunity?
Although not injured, even just having the hair on his arm burned away was unacceptable to him. Roaring in suppressed fury, he prepared to crush the other two little bugs first.
Violent energy began to emanate from his body.
Axe light, lightning, fierce wind, flames, chaotic energy raged. With the god’s body as the center, the vast surrounding area was almost completely plunged into a turbulent flow of energy.
Within this vast area, almost everything was ruthlessly destroyed, fine dust swirling in the air.
The terrifying impact was like the most ferocious storm.
The earth trembled.
The ground was covered in crisscrossing cracks, a scene of utter devastation.
The might of the enraged God of Blood, Death, and Darkness was terrifying beyond imagination. The flames entangling his arm were quickly dispelled. Under the impact of this power, Demon King Nagath and Little Shaye were forced to continuously retreat.
Suddenly, a painful groan came from amidst the dust and smoke. It came from Nagath.
His tall body staggered backward. Unable to dodge in time, an axe light directly struck Nagath’s body.
Starting from his shoulder, it tore diagonally across, half of his body directly severed.
However, this couldn’t cause truly serious damage to the Demon King. At the severed area, dense granulations were rapidly growing, like wriggling worms, trying to reconnect the two parts of his body.
But the Evil God clearly wouldn’t give the Demon King this chance.
Three little bugs.
Qin Chu and Little Shaye were definitely the most important targets.
The remains of Father God were reuniting within Qin Chu’s body. Even the Evil Gods in the Void couldn’t see what kind of changes would occur when Father God’s remains were completely reassembled. All they could do was kill Qin Chu before this happened.
The other one, the Dark Witch Shaye Shub-Niggurath, also had to be eliminated.
The God of Blood, Death, and Darkness had long glimpsed the Dark Witch’s true nature… but he, quite maliciously, hadn’t told his other companions.
On the Dark Witch, he also sensed Father God’s aura, just a different kind of feeling, completely different from the Hero Qin Chu.
Although that aura also puzzled him, making it difficult to judge the situation…
Regardless, the Dark Witch had to die.
Comparatively, the Demon King, as the vessel for the puppet Jie Luo’s soul, although also needing to be killed, wasn’t as important.
But now, his fighting spirit was aroused. In this situation, he wouldn’t care about that much. Since they’re all going to die anyway, might as well strike while the iron is hot.
As the most bloodthirsty and battle-loving god, he wouldn’t give Nagath any chance.
His tall body abruptly took a step forward, his battle axe cleaving down again.
This time, the power contained within the axe was even more terrifying.
Whoosh!
Where the axe light passed, a sharp wind, like a blade, arose.
Just as it was about to completely annihilate Nagath, another little bug suddenly appeared before Nagath, blocking this attack just in the nick of time.
With a boom sound, the golden light shattered.
Qin Chu’s body was instantly sent flying backward, crashing into Nagath’s broken body, both sent flying together.
But, regardless, he blocked the Evil God’s attack once again.
True Absolute Defense could only be used three times a day.
Whether its effect or number of uses, it was far superior to Pseudo Absolute Defense. But he had already used it twice now; this was a considerable loss.
Of course, this time, the effect was quite good, successfully saving Nagath. Taking advantage of this brief respite, the two halves of Nagath’s body quickly reconnected. He abruptly retreated, narrowly dodging the Evil God’s next attack.
As for Qin Chu, his figure had already vanished without a trace.
This scene, in the eyes of the Evil God, clearly enraged this powerful existence even more. That detestable bastard Qin Chu, under the pursuit of numerous sharp blades and crimson tentacles, could still find the time to save Nagath. What was this? This was clearly looking down on him!
Meanwhile, Qin Chu’s heart also trembled slightly.
The enemy before him was far more difficult to deal with than the Lord of Pleasure.
When Qin Chu successfully broke through against the Lord of Pleasure, the Lord of Pleasure had already been forced down from his divine position, his strength greatly reduced. But the current God of Blood, Death, and Darkness, although also suppressed and rejected by the world’s rules, clearly hadn’t fallen from his divine position yet. Dealing with him was much more difficult.
Although Qin Chu possessed various powers, the Evil God simply wouldn’t give him a chance to use them. Just desperately dodging the attacks from behind had already exhausted Qin Chu.
A true god, he truly couldn’t contend with it.
And for the Evil God, because of these little bugs constantly jumping around before him, his mood became increasingly irritable.
At the same time, his continuously weakening power also made his rage harder and harder to suppress.
Inexplicably, he even felt somewhat tired, his eyelids heavy, his soul weary, as if he hadn’t had a good sleep in millennia. If not for the irrepressible rage, he might have directly lain down on the ground and fallen asleep.
In his fury, his left arm abruptly lifted, reaching out and grabbing. A mountain peak in the distance was directly seized by the Evil God, the massive peak smashing down towards Little Shaye and Nagath.
Simultaneously, his mouth opened, a large amount of crimson blood mist spraying out.
The blood mist quickly condensed in mid-air, transforming into a mouthful of twisted, crimson tentacles, suddenly writhing in mid-air, directly rushing towards Qin Chu in the void.
Qin Chu waved his hand, unleashing the fused yin-yang energy, barely blocking the impact of the crimson tentacles.
Boom…
An explosive sound came from the distance.
The mountain peak seized by the Evil God was forcefully shattered by Nagath, stone fragments flying everywhere.
Before Nagath could even catch his breath, two sharp rays of light, like light sabers, shot out from the Evil God’s eyes, leaving two bloody holes in Nagath’s chest with a puchi sound.
Damn it…
Nagath let out a low curse.
His heart was shattered, but the pain and injury were secondary. What was worse was the corrosive power contained within the two rays of light, which seized the opportunity to quickly pollute a large part of Nagath’s internal organs.
This was also a ruthless one. Without any hesitation, he directly plunged a claw into his chest, ripping out all the polluted internal organs and discarding them.
Although it would cost him energy to recover, at least it prevented the pollution from spreading within his body.
The Evil God seized the opportunity again, trying to destroy Nagath.
Of the three targets, Little Shaye’s movements were unpredictable and difficult to capture, Qin Chu was darting around everywhere. No matter how one looked at it, Nagath was the easiest to destroy.
Once this enemy was eliminated, he would have more energy to deal with the remaining two.
But just as the Evil God could see this, Qin Chu and Little Shaye could also see it.
The instant the Evil God turned around, a wisp of black fog suddenly drifted to his ear. While the Evil God’s attention was elsewhere, the black fog instantly entered his ear.
The next second… Ah!
A sharp shriek instantly exploded deep within the Evil God’s ear.
The sound transformed into a wave, impacting the Evil God’s soul.
Soul Storm.
The Evil God’s will was as hard as steel. Facing the Dark Witch’s mental attack, his face only showed a brief moment of daze, less than a second, before immediately returning to normal.
Then his gaping maw opened, a roar surging forward.
Mental attack… This wasn’t his forte, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t use it.
The darkness churned. Within the dense blackness, Little Shaye’s figure was forced to appear, the mental attack directly spreading towards her. But a bizarre scene occurred. On Little Shaye’s black dress and stockings, transparent ripples spread out, actually blocking this soul-targeting attack.
Although Little Shaye’s body was sent flying, a mouthful of blood spraying from her lips, her mind wasn’t harmed in the slightest.
This black dress and stockings were formed from the fetal membrane that birthed Big and Little Shaye.
And this so-called fetal membrane originally came from the Evil God’s heart… even the most core part of the heart, its origin extraordinary.
Although seemingly just a thin layer, it possessed considerable power, at least quite effective at defending against mental attacks… Although it had been torn apart many times by Qin Chu.
With a wave of her hand, Little Shaye’s figure disappeared into the darkness again.
This scene even made the Evil God pause slightly, seemingly surprised that this woman could actually withstand his mental attack.
His irritation grew stronger and stronger.
Clearly, he held the absolute advantage in terms of pure strength. He should have easily crushed these three little bugs, but every time he was about to kill a target, various unexpected events would occur, causing his attack to fail.
As if guided by some invisible force.
Just then, the God of Blood, Death, and Darkness seemed to suddenly sense something. He abruptly raised his head, looking towards the night sky.
In mid-air, Qin Chu was still dodging and weaving, pursued by countless sharp blades and crimson tentacles.
But a bizarre scene occurred at this moment.
Qin Chu, who had been using Instant Transmission smoothly, as if affected by some invisible force, his body suddenly paused briefly.
The next second, a tall, beautiful, and graceful figure silently appeared beside Qin Chu.
That face, so beautiful it would even make Little Shaye feel self-conscious.
Perhaps only one word could describe that charm: bewitching.
As if all the beauty in the world was concentrated on her body; she was the embodiment of all things beautiful.
Whether her fair skin, her slender figure, her captivating face, or her bright eyes like stars, there wasn’t a single flaw.
In the eyes of humans, Demon Beasts, even mindless animals, that existence was the embodiment of perfection.
Then, this graceful woman lightly raised her right hand, her slender, fair fingers directly grabbing Qin Chu’s hair.
The next second, Qin Chu’s head was removed.
This bizarre scene plunged the entire area into a deathly silence.
Demon King Nagath, having finally mustered his courage after overcoming his fear, froze on the spot, motionless.
Little Shaye beside him trembled violently, a scream escaping her lips uncontrollably: “The Lord of Pleasure?”
