Chapter 966 - 424_2
The gap in strength is too vast, even if the Power of Civilization is gathered, there is still no chance of victory.
But just as she concluded this in her heart, suddenly a streamer of light rose from the ground!
Almost simultaneously, several more streamers rose, increasing in number, emerging from different regions and directions of the ritual site, yet they headed firmly toward the enormous beast claw in the sky!
It turned out to be the Rebel Army rising and flying!
Even though the strongest among them is only at the General Tier, they still charged unhesitatingly towards the giant beast claw in the sky!
Among them, some had previously fought fiercely with their companions during the ritual, but now they seemed to have become comrades united against a common enemy!
"This..."
Xi Ya widened her eyes, completely unable to comprehend what she was witnessing.
Why do these people, knowing their insignificance akin to ants before a God, and that their participation would not change the battle’s outcome, seek death voluntarily?
Why did they, restricted by the ritual, fail to resist and kill each other before, yet now find the courage to charge against the Gods?
Xi Ya was unaware of the reason, but a strong desire arose within to charge alongside them!
Even Xi Ya herself did not know where this desire originated or why it was born!
Xi Ya unconsciously clenched her fists, and at that moment she was shocked to discover that as the streamers of light rose, Cang Kai’s aura abruptly began to surge! The silver Giant Bow in his hands gleamed as though it had consumed a powerful elixir!
It seemed as though an invisible vortex formed around him, continually drawing an unseen Power toward him!
At this moment, a thought suddenly emerged in Xi Ya’s mind.
If even she, as an outsider, couldn’t resist the urge to charge with the Rebel Army, how might the oppressed and tormented populace outside the ritual think?
Though Xi Ya couldn’t see the scene outside the ritual, she imagined those kneeling in submission had eyes burning with fury and defiance!
"General, let us charge with you once more!"
"Kill!!!"
Even though there were only hundreds, the earth-shaking cries echoed throughout the hunting ground—no, not just the hunting ground, the whole world seemed to resonate with a silent Charge Horn!
Everyone’s wishes converged wholly in this moment!
"Zheng!"
Cang Kai’s Giant Bow erupted with Spiritual Light, and with a thunderous resounding release, a beam of light far more brilliant than before tore through the sky, straight into the dark space rift!
In the next instant, the beast claw gripping the breach recoiled sharply, a sharp cry of agony echoing from within the rift!
The sound—distinct from pure rage—was marked by disbelief and pain!
Undoubtedly, this strike inflicted true damage to the Gods!
"This is the legendary Civilization Sacred Object!" Xi Ya excitedly gazed at Cang Kai, "If it could be used a few more times then..."
Suddenly, the thought stopped abruptly.
For she noticed that not far away, Cang Kai holding the Giant Bow had unknowingly grown a head full of white hair, with his once muscular frame now shriveled like an elderly man near death, his arm holding the Bow trembling under its weight!
And the silver Great Bow’s color had dimmed completely, as though the last strike had consumed all the world’s gathered Power of Civilization.
Suddenly, Cang Kai’s body slackened, falling towards the ground!
Xi Ya exclaimed, not hesitating, her Blood Crystal Power erupted in a glaring blood light, crossing thousands of meters in an instant to catch Cang Kai.
"What’s wrong?"
Xi Ya anxiously asked, activating healing skills to heal Cang Kai.
The Blood Crystal Power born from the origin of Life, besides combat, inherently possessed strong healing abilities.
Yet, despite the flashing blood light, Cang Kai showed no change.
Just as Xi Ya grew anxious, a dry arm suddenly grabbed her arm tightly.
Xi Ya lowered her head, meeting Cang Kai’s piercing gaze!
"Have we won?"
"Don’t worry, I’ll heal you first, your body..."
"Have we won!"
Cang Kai asked sharply, his dry fingers deeply sank into Xi Ya’s arm.
Xi Ya opened her mouth but had not yet spoken when a beast roar akin to heaven’s collapse exploded next to her ear!
Both Xi Ya and Cang Kai raised their heads, only to see a gigantic monster emerging from the space rift!
Eight immense reptilian claws tore at the rift’s edges, expanding it to several times its size, revealing a body exceeding three thousand meters, like a gigantic mountain emerging from within, a blood-drenched large cavity at its chest with dark red blood flowing like a waterfall!
"Roar!!!"
The monstrous lizard-like head roared angrily, eight giant claws exerted further, enlarging the space rift!
A dire aura of overwhelming despair emanated from the monstrous form, instantly extinguishing the light in Cang Kai’s eyes.
"It’s the descent of the true body."
"It still failed..."
Previously his eyes harbored the suffering borne by the world’s people over a thousand years, but now all that anguish had crushed him.
Outside the ritual, as the overwhelmingly massive figure crawled from the rift, everyone also revealed looks of despair.
Faces were pale, with gazes devoid of any faint glimmer.
Despite the world’s resistance, before the Gods, it still remains vain?
No matter the strength of belief, nor the moving sacrifices, the disparity in physical power cannot be changed.
But just as everyone fell into utter despair, suddenly intense light burst from the space rift!
As everyone hadn’t yet reacted, they saw a dozen hundred-meter Spiritual Power Giant Swords piercing forth from behind the rift without warning, piercing the God of the Hunt’s form!
The God of the Hunt’s colossal lizard head suddenly turned, exhibiting a furious and shocked expression: "It’s you!"
But in the next instant, all that rage transformed into terror!
"Wait! What is that?!"
Immense will shook the hunt ground, yet as soon as this will landed, in a sight too unbelievable, the God of the Hunt’s massive form suddenly began to disintegrate!
Not fragments of flesh splattering due to attacks, but like collapsing building blocks, disintegrating from the head into basic particles!
In less than a breath, half the God’s head had already vanished, overwhelmed with extreme fear, it screamed, retracting its entire body into the rift, followed by the claws sequentially withdrawn, the space rift hovering above disappearing thereafter.
"..."
"This..."
Everyone was stunned, unable to comprehend; some suspected they succumbed to excessive pressure, losing their minds.
On the surface, the God of the Hunt seemed to suffer some attack, fleeing in terror.
But how is this possible?
That was a God! What existence, inducing terror even in the Gods, could it be?
Only Cang Kai suddenly widened his eyes, murmuring: "It’s Him, He came."
"Who?" Xi Ya asked blankly.
Cang Kai didn’t answer, merely stared intently at the vanished rift, spoke softly: "I don’t know either, but if I guessed correctly... we should soon see Him."
Almost as the words faded, space twisted suddenly, opening another rift.
Xi Ya instantly looked alert, yet this time the rift was only meters wide, from it emerged only an ordinary-looking adult man wearing a mask.
Human?
Xi Ya stood dumbfounded, never expecting such a sight; even if a tentacled Cthulhu monster emerged, she would not be this astonished.
But she dared not underestimate; the one repelling the Outer Realm Demon was this man?
And soon, Cang Kai verified her guess, struggling to rise,
Xi Ya naturally did not dare use Detection Skill on the person before, but
