Stronger with Crimson Modifier

The instant this wave of Spirit appeared,

the world fell silent.

All sound vanished without a trace.

It wasn’t just sound.

Falling leaves froze in midair. Insects beating their wings seemed to turn into specimens trapped in amber.

Even the last few rays of the setting sun were strangely fractured in this area.

It was as if someone had pressed pause on the world; even the wind solidified in midair.

The next second!

High in the firmament,

the dark canopy of the sky suddenly twisted, and a rift was torn through the clouds.

Two colossal beams of light shot down from above the ruptured clouds. The light was a sinister, Crimson glow.

It stained everything on the ground a vivid red, as if drenched in fresh blood.

Then, an enormous, pale serpent’s head slowly emerged from behind the clouds.

Its scales were as cold as ice, each one glinting with a deathly, frigid light.

Its head was as large as an Ancient Castle, jagged and angular, and covered in overlapping layers of bone spurs.

A pair of Crimson serpent eyes stared down with cold indifference.

Those two beams of red light were, in fact, the glow emanating from its eyes.

WHOOSH!

The great serpent’s mouth opened a fraction,

and a wisp of air puffed out.

The breath shot straight down and slammed into the ground.

BOOM!

A deafening roar erupted.

With the church as its epicenter, the ground within a one-kilometer radius collapsed instantly.

The earth cracked, rock was pulverized, and the entire area sank more than ten meters with a thunderous crash.

Within ten thousand meters, all vegetation and life withered and died.

It was as if they had been doused in aqua regia and reduced to Ashes.

As for the long-abandoned church, it was as fragile as paper before this power, disintegrating in an instant.

This revealed the Twelve-winged Angel Statue.

"Altdina, why’d you stop running?"

A voice echoed throughout the area.

It was laced with mockery.

This angel statue was none other than Altdina.

For some reason, she had been transformed into her current state.

At this moment, she stared up at the pale serpent head above and the pale, endless body hidden behind the clouds, stretching to an unknown destination.

A rare trace of surprise flickered in her ashen-gray pupils.

She, of course, recognized him at a glance.

This aura belonged to Hu Qi, the one hunting her.

She hadn’t expected him to actually dare to follow her in.

However, what surprised her even more was his current condition.

She had experienced the strangeness of this world firsthand.

Compared to a typical world within the Bottomless Realm,

the rules of this world were far stricter.

She had discovered this world during one of her explorations in the Bottomless Realm.

But she had never truly ventured deep into it.

Because this world was simply too bizarre.

If she hadn’t been forced into it this time, she never would have entered so recklessly.

And it turned out her judgment had been correct.

After arriving in this world,

even with her essence as a True God, the world’s rules had transformed her into a so-called Alien Origin Body, severely restricting her.

She couldn’t even move of her own free will.

She had originally thought that even if Hu Qi followed her, he would end up in the same state.

But that was not the case.

Not only had he found her directly,

but according to her senses, his power as a True God hadn’t been weakened in the slightest.

She wanted to struggle, to escape.

Unfortunately, due to the peculiar rules of this world, she, having become a stone statue, had no ability to move.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed here, allowing these mortal Natives to take her in.

Now, facing Hu Qi at his full strength, she had absolutely no chance of escape.

"Did you really think I was out of options? At worst, I’ll just take you down with me.

I just don’t think a life-and-death struggle is necessary.

You must have noticed how strange this world is.

We should cooperate. If you agree, I can compensate you for what I did before..."

Altdina ignored Hu Qi’s mocking tone.

She spoke in a low, serious voice.

As she spoke,

the auras of two Great Daos rose from her body.

From the look of it, if Hu Qi chose to continue fighting her,

she would trigger the annihilation of the Great Daos within her.

The annihilation of a Great Dao.

This was a form of self-destruction unique to a True God.

Once it was triggered, the power formed from the collapse of the Great Dao within one’s body was terrifyingly immense.

It could destroy an entire world in an instant.

However, the next second,

a cold sneer suddenly rang out.

"Is that so? At death’s door, and you’re still trying to trick me!"

Before her eyes,

the sky-blotting serpent’s maw gaped open, instantly swallowing the last of the dim daylight.

"You... no..."

Altdina tilted her head back, and two streams of resentful, bloody tears flowed from her ashen-gray eyes.

But she was powerless to stop it.

With a deafening roar, the earth trembled violently, and a massive pit, a full ten kilometers in diameter, appeared out of nowhere.

The land that had been there, and Altdina along with it, had vanished completely.

The edges of the crater were jagged and uneven, as if it had been brutally torn open by some terrifying force.

And that was, in fact, the truth.

High in the firmament, behind the clouds,

Hu Qi retracted his neck, his Crimson forked tongue flicking in and out.

He swallowed what was in his mouth.

Altdina’s so-called Great Dao annihilation, her threat of mutual destruction via self-detonation—

it might have worked in the outside world.

But here, in this world, Altdina couldn’t even self-destruct.

Everything just now had been nothing but a bluff.

Before his Primordial Eye, with its Ability to see through illusions and trace things back to their origin,

the situation inside Altdina’s body was completely exposed, laid bare before his eyes.

Her body had been warped and corrupted by some kind of power.
