Chapter 463 Death's Defeat

The death game has gotten out of control.

The giant gray creature absorbed the free-floating electric arcs, and its body was rapidly expanding.

Its size suddenly became enormous.

Death suddenly realized that Big Grey's strength had actually increased to the eighth rank, and at this moment, the entire space where the Death Game was located was collapsing at an extremely fast speed.

However, the phantom of the God of Contracts remained standing motionless above.

It appears to be completely unaffected.

"Big Gray!"

"let's go!"

Big Gray raised his hand high, and endless lightning gathered in his hand, forming an incomparably majestic Thunder Battle Axe.

A violent bolt of lightning fell from the sky and slammed heavily onto the ground.

The lightning transformed into chains that bound the mountain giant's body.

The mountain giant's feet were pierced by chains, and it let out a deafening roar.

The sacred oak on its back transformed into countless roots that pierced the ground.

At the same time, the mountain giant's strength also increased to the eighth rank.

Two level-eight pet beasts are enough to tear the entire space in two.

A series of crackling sounds were heard, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the sky, instantly tearing space in two.

A deafening sound came from the outside.

Jagged bolts of lightning followed the chains formed by thunder, spreading across the mountain giant's body.

The mountain giant instantly let out a furious roar of resentment.

"What a brilliant plan!"

Death stared at the shattered space, his eyes blazing with fire. Once the space shattered, Thunder Dragon Cat would be able to draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

A terrifying electric current descended from the sky. This was Thunder Island, a place where the might of the heavens could be used to attack the mountain giants.

If the mountain giant were to perish here, Death would have utterly lost the contest and would have to sacrifice his soul to the God of the Contract.

This is something Death cannot accept.

"Never mind, if something like that really happens, I have ways to circumvent the rules."

Death's mind was full of calculations, after all, he was the initiator of the death game and had certain immunity.

However, the price to pay will be much higher than expected.

It could lead to death starting all over again, and even the hard-won pet body would have to be given away.

However, he had a chance to escape.

Ye Bai knew that Big Gray had the upper hand, but he dared not relax for a moment, because the Grim Reaper's abilities were far more powerful than he had imagined.

Moreover, the more critical the moment, the more calm you need to be, lest death take advantage of you.

The fear is that Death is like a centipede, undying even after death. If Death were to slip away unscathed, Ye Bai would have another enemy lurking in the shadows.

There's not a good solution for either myself or Big Gray.

Big Grey wielded Thor's axe and sliced ​​off most of the mountain giant's arm.

The thick hand, along with the giant rock club, crashed down below, creating a deafening sound.

A thick cloud of smoke spread out, and bolts of lightning, as if they were courting death, struck the broken arm of the mountain giant.

The mountain giant's body was mostly blasted to pieces, but its feet were still firmly planted on the ground.

Therefore, the mountain giants are recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's no use. The mountain giant can recover as long as it puts its feet on the ground. You can't do anything to it."

"Just obediently become food for the mountain giants."

"Your soul will eventually be absorbed by me."

Death was unaware of the Mountain Giant's weaknesses, but the Mountain Giant's Earth Gaia property ensured its survival.

But this is Thunder Island, which makes Death feel a little uneasy.

"If Thunder Dragon Cat were to unleash the full power of heaven and earth, the Mountain Giant might not be able to withstand it."

Death muttered to himself.

Ye Bai watched coldly from the sidelines.

He had already seen the weakness of Earth Gaia: once its recovery speed was less than its destruction speed.

The mountain giant could never recover.

"Go, Mountain Giant, use your root entanglement on yourself to protect yourself."

The tree roots wrapped around the mountain giant's body, blocking most of the lightning.

The sacred oak tree stretched out its trunk, and beams of golden light gathered on its tender green leaves.

It is doing everything it can to help the mountain giant recover.

Most of his body was charred black by the lightning, and even flames were emanating from it.

Flames shot into the sky, burning the bark of the sacred oak tree to pieces.

A cold glint appeared in Ye Bai's eyes.

Death focused his attention on the mountain giants, but neglected the sacred oak tree.

"Go, Big Grey, the final blow, Thor's Judgment."

Big Grey took a deep breath, and streams of lightning energy gathered on the Thunder God's Axe in his hand.

As thunderclouds surged, golden and silver snakes danced wildly in the sky.

The blade of Thor's axe hung upside down, drawing down lightning from the heavens. The gray elemental body became dignified and solemn, exuding an aura of power, with fine arcs of electricity dancing between its upright hair.

This was the final blow launched by Big Grey.

It gathered all its thunderous power, determined to succeed or die trying. If this attack failed and the Mountain Giant survived, the Big Grey might be defeated in no time.

The mountain giant's rugged stone armor cracked open, revealing the roots that were entwined within.

Faced with this majestic power, the two dark red lights on its face slowly rotated, and its thick, ancient banyan-like fingers tightly gripped half of the giant rock club.

It hesitated; if it faced the lightning head-on, it might very well die.

The sacred oak tree, perched atop the giant's back, trembled slightly.

It will die; if it takes this attack head-on, it will die.

"Big Grey, go for it! Don't hold back!"

Ye Bai spoke to Big Gray through the contract.

Amidst the raging winds carrying the aura of thunder, the axe blade traced an enigmatic path; Big Gray had made his move.

Thousands of lightning bolts solidified on the axe's surface, gathering all the lightning within a ten-mile radius onto the axe blade.

When the celestial dragon formed from purple and white lightning pierced the towering sacred oak tree, the Great Gray was thrown backward by the recoil force, crashing into the mountain rocks like a cannonball.

"Die!"

Another earth-shattering explosion flashed past Death's ears.

The deafening roar of thunder nearly made Death lose consciousness.

The sacred oak tree was struck by lightning and instantly turned into a pile of charred remains.

At that moment, the mountain giant's body began to crack.

A muffled, thunderous cracking sound came from inside the mountain. As the crimson light in the mountain giant's eyes flickered, its entire body disintegrated along the crystallized patterns scorched by lightning.

Before the rubble even hit the ground, it was melted into glass by the high-voltage current in mid-air and rained down on the cracked earth.

Death's eyes widened, and his body trembled slightly.

Even his physical body feared the overwhelming power of the heavens.

After the intense light dissipated, Death only sensed that the mountain giant's aura had vanished.

The residual electric sparks that lingered among the clouds reflected as specks of gold in Big Gray's half-closed eyes.

It thrust the still-humming Thunder Axe into the scorched earth with its backhand, and a slight smile appeared on its lips as it gazed at the flowing lava on the ground, the electric current in its body gradually dissipating.

At the moment the mountain giant died, Big Grey felt that the inner demons that had been troubling him for so long had finally dissipated.

"how come?"

"The Mountain Giants have actually been defeated."

"Impossible! What tricks did you use?" Death shouted at Ye Bai.

"What tricks did they use?"

"Have you forgotten that I make a living with my brain?"

Ye Bai pointed to his head with his slender, jade-like fingers.

"You should know that the Sacred Oak has formed a symbiotic relationship with the Mountain Giants."

Death nodded hesitantly.

But what does this have to do with the extinction of the Mountain Giants?

Mountain giants, possessing the characteristic of being the Earth Gaia, shouldn't be immortal?

This was something Death couldn't quite understand.

"Grim Reaper, do you believe that Mountain Giants, who possess the characteristics of Gaia, cannot die?"

That's what you really think, isn't it?

"But you must have forgotten how the mountain giant died."

"The Mountain Giant died from the shattering of its crystal core, and the Holy Oak used its roots to help the Mountain Giant restore its crystal core."

"Although you have given the Mountain Giant a physical form again, you have not fixed this flaw of the Mountain Giant."

"In other words, the Mountain Giant's weaknesses still exist."

"Once the Sacred Oak dies, the Mountain Giant's core will shatter instantly."

Big Grey slumped to the ground, not wanting to move a single finger.

Only the Myriad Transformations Butterfly separated from the Giant Rock Butterfly King, creating a large number of Earth-type butterflies.

These butterflies flit among the sacred oak and the remains of the mountain giant, collecting their broken crystal cores.

At that moment, the phantom of the God of Contracts moved.

Death's eyes were filled with horror.

"No, you can't touch me, no!"

The enormous phantom descended towards the direction of Death.

Strands of black energy appeared in the palm of the God of Contracts.

In just a moment, it turned into a pitch-black, beating heart.

The God of Contracts then pinched the black heart hard.

The heart suddenly burst open, forming wisps of black smoke that dissipated into the air.

Death felt a piercing pain erupt from his body.

The body he had painstakingly acquired was dissipating.

"Hahaha, kid, you think you've won?"

"No, I have other ideas."

Death is the king who plays with souls.

It naturally has ways to escape the punishment of the God of Contracts.

All you need to do is give up a part of your soul.

However, just as Death was about to sever his own soul, the ancient bronze sword suddenly appeared from Ye Bai's pet space.

The ancient bronze swords formed into sharp dragon-slaying swords, which fell from the sky and shielded the surrounding space.

"No, no, no."

Because the space was blocked, the Grim Reaper's soul had nowhere to hide and could only watch helplessly as the enormous hand reached out towards him.

As the hands came together, the Grim Reaper's body vanished in an instant.

Only two flames of soul energy remained, appearing in the hands of the God of Contracts.

"Humanity."

"Congratulations on winning this match. You will receive the Scythe of the Dead, the Law of Shadows, and the soul of the Grim Reaper."

The God of Contract erased the consciousness of the God of Death's soul, condensing it into a pale blue crystal core, which fell in front of Ye Bai.

"congratulations."

"This is how to summon me. If there are other exciting events, just summon me."

The figure of the God of Contracts slowly dissipated.

Big Grey's lifelong enemy also vanished completely at this moment.

Ye Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the Giant Rock Butterfly King was manipulating the Giant Rock Butterfly to collect the fragments, its wings emitting a strong, earthy-yellow light.

The shattered crystal core of the mountain giant is visibly gathering on the body of the giant rock butterfly king.

At the same time, a pale green seed suddenly appeared in the sunflower fairy's hand.

This seed is shaped like an acorn, and it is the essence that the sacred oak tree has gathered.

It contains the wisdom of the Holy Oak throughout its life.

"Sunflower Fairy, this treasure is yours."

"The legacy of the sacred oak tree is a perfect match for you."

Sunflower Fairy absorbed the seed into her body. After all, it was the life's wisdom of a former ninth-tier beast, and it was of great help to Sunflower Fairy.

"The Myriad Transformations Butterfly and the Law of Shadows are now in your hands."

The Myriad Transformations Butterfly opened its gaping maw and swallowed the black bead whole.

Then its body emitted wisps of black light.

A short while later, a giant black cocoon appeared beside the Myriad Transformations Butterfly, inside which was the Dark Butterfly King undergoing its metamorphosis.

This time, the Myriad Transformations Butterfly has reaped a great harvest, and currently has three kings: Starry Butterfly Queen, Thunder Butterfly Queen, and Five Elements Sacred Butterfly.

If the Dark Butterfly King and the Giant Rock Butterfly King successfully transform, they will only need four more kings to evolve into the Myriad Transformations Butterfly.

It's not easy for a seventh-tier pet to advance to the eighth tier.

The conditions are extremely demanding.

"Alright, then you can devour the soul of the Grim Reaper, Hellish Nether Wolf. I hope you can comprehend the laws of the soul."

The Hellfire Wolf controls the Hellfire Domain and is able to comprehend the laws of fire and darkness.

If one can comprehend the laws of the soul, one can transform the Hellfire Domain into Purgatory.

At that time, it will be able to act like the Grim Reaper, collecting the souls of powerful beasts and imprisoning them in purgatory.

With the passing of Death, the many souls controlled by Death also dissipated.

This made Ye Bai feel a little regretful. If the Netherworld Hell Wolf could control the laws of the soul, it might have been able to preserve these souls.

But unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

"Giant Rock Butterfly King, evolve!"

After absorbing the Mountain Giant, the Giant Rock Butterfly King's body solidified into a yellowish-brown rock.

Like the Dark Butterfly King, it has entered the state of metamorphosis. When it breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a butterfly, that will be the time for it to become the emperor.

Death, this major threat, has finally been eliminated.

Big Gray has completely let go of his inner demons. As long as he has the resources, it's only a matter of time before he breaks through to become an eighth-tier pet beast.

"Next, Thunder Rabbit, it's time for you to evolve."

Ye Bai's gaze fell upon the Thunder Rabbit clan, and they felt a sharp gaze sweeping towards them.

Thunder Rabbit immediately revealed a well-behaved, cute, and honest expression.

The thunderous power emanating from the giant gray creature made them too afraid to move an inch.

"Death has delayed me quite a bit. Now a day and a night have passed, and I have about a day left."

"If we still can't get your plans sorted out, then we'll have to start all over again."

"It's more important to attend world-class research conferences."

"You guys shouldn't let me down, right?"

Ye Bai's cold gaze fell on Thunder Rabbit.
