Chapter 858: Destroying the Sea God (Part IV)

Old Mo's lips trembled, emitting a murmur that only he could hear.

Looking at the tragic battlefield before him, his thoughts drifted back to the apocalypse in The Seventh World ruled by endless oceans and terrifying sea beasts.

Those tragic scenes continuously replayed in his mind.

How prosperous The Seventh World used to be.

Yet, when this aberrant monster known as the Sea God descended, everything turned into a living hell.

Countless brilliant Professionals rushed forward wave after wave to protect the homeland behind them, charging at that monster. They burned their lives and unleashed skills, yet they could not even injure a single flake of the monster's skin.

The blood of countless people dyed the entire ocean red, and countless cities turned into ruins amidst tsunamis and tentacles.

As the only SSS-Rank Divine Craftsman in The Seventh World.

Old Mo once bore the final hope of the entire world.

He poured his heart and Soul out, exhausted his own Origin of magical power, and even spared no expense in overdrawing his lifespan, hammering and forging by the furnace day and night.

He crafted countless top-tier pieces of equipment capable of easily destroying mountains and tearing apart the Void Realm, armoring the top warriors with them in an attempt to fight against the unbeatable Sea God.

Yet, it was still of no avail.

Those pieces of equipment that were enough to be worshipped as Divine Artifacts in the present world were utterly fragile before the monster's absolute high-dimensional defense, shattering at the slightest touch.

Until that person appeared.

Mr. Duan.

That man who always wore a gentle smile and could see through everything came before him.

Mr. Duan told him that ordinary equipment could not kill the Sea God; only by crafting the eight strongest Divine Artifacts capable of touching the Origin of the world's rules could they form a peerless Formation to completely suppress that monster.

Old Mo believed him.

He regarded Mr. Duan as the savior of The Seventh World and pinned all his hopes on those eight Divine Artifacts.

He almost drained all the precious mineral veins and energy cores in The Seventh World, exhausted his last bit of Divine Craftsman foundation, and finally successfully forged those eight Divine Artifacts.

But what was the result?

The moment the Formation was activated, what welcomed them was not the destruction of the Sea God, but the complete collapse of The Seventh World.

Until before his death, until his Divine Soul was dragged into this pitch-black ruin to linger on in his last gasp.

Only then did Old Mo desolately understand everything.

That so-called deep-sea Dominator, the Sea God, was simply a deformed monster fabricated by Mr. Duan himself using High-Dimensional Law in order to complete his own divine persona!

And making him craft those eight Divine Artifacts that touched the rules was not to deal with the Sea God at all.

That was merely a pretext by Mr. Duan! An extremely vicious conspiracy!

Those eight Divine Artifacts were, from the very beginning, top-tier nourishment used by Mr. Duan to nurture this monster and help it break through the dimensional barrier!

The sacrifice of their entire world and Old Mo's lifelong painstaking efforts were nothing more than stepping stones in Mr. Duan's god-creation plan.

This despair and anger of being completely toyed with and betrayed gnawed at Old Mo's remnant Soul day and night throughout these endless years, making him wish he were dead, yet unable to close his eyes in death.

But today.

At this very moment.

Old Mo slowly closed his eyes.

The obsession that had accumulated in his heart for countless days and nights finally disintegrated.

That lingering obsession and resentment deep within his Soul drifted away with the wind along with the death of the Sea God.

"Old fellows, up in the heavens… have you seen this?"

"That monster is dead."

"Mr. Duan's conspiracy has failed."

"We can finally rest in peace…"

Meanwhile, Zhou Huai's mood was not relaxed.

"Can you track the coordinates of that monster that escaped just now?"

Zhou Huai decisively spread his perception, attempting to explore deeper into the sea area. If such a disaster was not eliminated and left for Mr. Duan to devour, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Lord, its dimensional attributes are extremely special. Moreover, after entering the deep sea, the surrounding chaotic spatial magnetic field is too strong, and this subordinate's Law of Space cannot penetrate that layer of shielding." Victor's voice carried a hint of apology.

Zhou Huai fell silent, his gaze cold and stern.

Right at this moment, a familiar voice rang out in his mind without warning.

"Zhou Huai, stop looking!"

It was Chun.

Her voice was no longer as calm as usual, instead carrying an extremely rare urgency and solemnness, even faintly revealing a trace of trembling.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Huai immediately reined in his focus.

"Extremely bad news." Chun took a deep breath, speaking at an extremely fast pace: "Mr. Duan… he has broken free!"

Zhou Huai's pupils constricted slightly, his wrist involuntarily tightening around the abyssal blood dragon spear.

"Didn't you say that the Origin Virus could lock him down for ten days? How long has it been?"

"That madman… he didn't analyze the Origin Virus according to common sense at all!" Chun's voice was filled with dread. "He actually used extremely brutal High-Dimensional Laws to forcibly cut and strip away a part of his own divine persona along with the virus! Although he paid a heavy price, he has now completely shaken off the shackles!"

Chun paused, her tone becoming even more urgent: "Moreover, the mark he left in my main body tells me that he is very likely rushing toward your coordinates right now!"

"We have no time left, we must leave immediately!"

Zhou Huai took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the Battle Intent in his heart.

He was very clear that although his current strength had undergone a qualitative leap due to the ten-billion Karma value, capable of even slaying Quasi-God Level monsters and half-step Transcendents, it was still not the time to confront a Transcendent like Mr. Duan head-on, who truly grasped high-dimensional space laws and could even forcibly modify the underlying logic of Heavenly Dao.

"It's better to leave first." Zhou Huai's gaze flashed, and he decisively made a decision.

Without any delay, he immediately lowered his head to look at the Sea God's carcass floating in the Dead Sea below. Although the core Origin had been taken away, this massive body still contained a massive amount of high-dimensional flesh and blood and energy residues.

Afterwards, Zhou Huai raised his left hand, aiming at the huge wreckage stretching for dozens of kilometers below.

"Hive Space, open!"

"Hum——!"

A pitch-black vortex with a diameter exceeding one kilometer formed explosively on the sea surface.

Previously, the Hive Space could only store Zerg units due to Rank restrictions. But ever since Insect Emperor Caesar broke through Rank 70, the underlying logic of the entire Hive Space had undergone a transformation. Now, even the corpses of high-tier exotic beasts from the present world could be forcibly stored inside!

Such a half-step Transcendent monster's wreckage would only slowly decay if left outside, but thrown into the Hive Space, it would become top-tier nourishment for those ten billion Soldier Beetles!

"Rumble!"

Under the violent suction of the Hive Space vortex, the Sea God's mountain-like two-part wreckage was forcibly pulled, decomposed, and finally turned into an all-encompassing flesh-and-blood storm, being completely sucked into it.

After finishing all this, the dark red abyssal blood battle armor around Zhou Huai gradually faded its light, and his figure flashed, turning into a dark golden lightning bolt as he landed directly on the dilapidated flatboat in the distance.

On the flatboat, the Red-haired Strongman and the others were still immersed in the euphoria of surviving a catastrophe. Seeing Zhou Huai descend like a deity, they all fell silent out of fear, their eyes filled with awe.
