Deep in the Living

Chapter 666: Heyday

At the same time that the Outer Gods returned and descended upon the deep pit.

A cloud of mist quickly slipped away from the quarry, first arriving outside the pit where Mr. Question Mark was imprisoned, where it coalesced into the shape of a portly man, his head still obscured by the mist.

It was Jock.

However, his entire right arm, along with some of his body fat, was gone.

This kind of damage to the soul is different from a simple severed arm. Not only can it not be healed by any means, but it is also impossible to replace it with a prosthetic limb.

The conceptual defect renders any structure related to the right arm unusable, and forcibly installing a prosthetic alternative would actually harm the body.

but,

Jock, on the other hand, has managed to adapt to the absence and maintain his balance.

He stood on tiptoe, leaned forward as much as possible, and looked down into the pit to check the situation below.

They quickly confirmed that Roddy was down there, and there was a sticky, damp smell, as if a tongue was licking his body.

A shiver ran through him.
He decisively abandoned his operation against Roddy and once again transformed into mist to reach the edge of the island.

He blew out a balloon-shaped ship and left alone.

"The situation is beyond my control now. I'm just working for free anyway, so there's no need for me to get involved."

Once that frog has killed all the monsters, I can sneak back.

As for Roddy... once the corner is completely overrun, he'll have no choice but to retreat back to the humans. Then, just like when they slaughtered his entire family, they can secretly kill him.

How exciting! This serious injury has actually deepened my understanding of the mist...hehehe!

Even though Jock didn't seem to be trying to repair his arm, he could vaguely see some mist swirling around the area.

……

[Bottom of the deep pit]

The return of the unknown alien god did not interrupt Teacher Guo's arm rotation; he continued to destroy the structure of the deep pit.

At the same time, he looked up and observed the other person; this was the first time he had observed this truly foreign visitor.

Close observation confirmed something for Teacher Guo, something very meaningful.

"Although the essence of the corner is dead, the rules and restrictions here still exist. This guy arrived on our side ahead of time because of his proficiency with the passageways, and his [divinity] is now constrained."

Moreover, the raiding squad in the City of Sin proved that this thing can be traumatized.

There's a chance to win...

Teacher Guo slowly stopped rotating his arm, and the bottom of the entire pit was now covered with spiral patterns.

A voice came from above, a language whose meaning was incomprehensible no matter what, a sound wave that could drill holes in the surface of the brain.

“You tiny natives, your battle tactics are quite strange... Several of those guys who tried to lure my attention in the City of Sin are quite capable.”

The opportunity they fought so hard for has only resulted in you destroying the [passage] here.

Even if you manage to sabotage it, it will only delay the construction by a month... What exactly is the purpose of what you're doing?

Do you really think that striving for a month can prevent genocide?
One thing is certain: the plague outbreak you caused on the island was very effective, and my offspring suffered heavy casualties.

But this can also be resolved with time. In about a week, I will be able to give birth to the offspring needed to make up for it.

You seem like a rather intelligent native, yet you can only come up with such a dull solution.

After I kill you, I'll rush back and kill those little brats causing trouble in the City of Sin... I have to say, you guys are really wearing down my patience.

According to my plan, the opening of the passage and the extermination of your race should have been completed simultaneously. Now, I have no choice but to move the extermination plan forward.

Make a downward pressing motion with your webbed hand.

hum! !

Teacher Guo felt completely bound by something, unable to teleport or escape. Something invisible pressed down on him, causing him to kneel on the ground and his kneecaps to shatter completely.

The back, which was under pressure, developed numerous holes, and the special combat suit was on the verge of breaking.

crucial moment,

Teacher Guo suddenly raised her hand and twisted it hard!
The hundred-meter-tall arm throne was twisted and broken! The skeleton, which served as the base material, was completely twisted and deformed, and the whole structure collapsed.

The divine voice came again:

"Is this all you can do? Can you only do this much on the eve of your death, to destroy my seat? You're so insignificant, why bother struggling?"
"That's fine too, I'll devour you myself."

Snapped!
The outer gods descended,

Landing gracefully.

The oppressive force from the palm remained, as if a giant, webbed hand, hundreds of meters long, was pressing down on Teacher Guo, preventing him from raising his head or directly observing the other person's physique.

All that could be seen was a black webbed foot slowly approaching and walking towards him. The difference in their ranks was too great, so great that it couldn't be considered a contest between two people, but rather a one-sided annihilation.

The sound continued to echo in my brain:

"As a local native, your ability system is quite unique, taking into account both time and space... If I could give you some time to develop and allow you to touch divinity, you might pose a threat to me."

"You're perfect to be my food right now."

A webbed hand reached out and grabbed at close range.

Teacher Guo could clearly sense the approaching crisis; if he were touched, he would die immediately.

Even so, he maintained a normal mindset, his hands supporting him on the ground, just touching the vortex array he had spent a lot of effort building.

The traces of the vortex covered the entire bottom of the deep pit.

The entire island also became Mr. Guo's main venue due to the spread of the plague.

However, he had no intention of fighting against the Outer Gods; there was only one thing he wanted to do.

[Spatial Teleportation]

Someone who had been resting in Whirlpool Town was teleported here.

At the same time... click!

A broken rock layer located at the top of the deep pit suddenly collapsed, sending a boulder more than ten meters in diameter plummeting downwards. What should have been a normal free fall felt like it was accelerating tenfold, with sparks flying from its base.

Like a meteorite,

It landed precisely where the outer god was standing.

"Ok?"

Gaga~
Dozens of human-frog-like hands suddenly sprouted from the holes in the unknown alien god's body, their palms covered in mucus, extending ten meters in length, and steadily catching the strangely falling rock.

It was during this moment when he was distracted.

Teacher Guo suddenly broke free from the divine suppression and created a distance of a full hundred meters.

Not only that,

There was one more person in front of Teacher Guo.

A blond man wearing a top hat,

He wore a family seal ring on the ring finger of his left hand, and a yellow scarf covered everything below his nose as he sat in a wheelchair.

The Outer God's black, pus-filled eye sockets stared intently at the native monster.

The information they received contained a warning of danger.

Even if you include all the monsters he had seen in the City of Sin, none of them made him feel any real danger... or at least only a slight danger.

"Um?

Such a tiny, lower-level world actually contains something like this? It involves the root of cause and effect… This power is beyond your control; you might even be drawn into it yourself!

With just a glance, this unknown Outer God discerned the essence of Maximus's abilities and simultaneously devised a countermeasure in his mind.

at this time,

An unusual phenomenon occurred.

The vortex pattern that Teacher Guo had carved into the bottom of the pit beforehand is now actually spinning.

Maximus was located right at the center of the vortex.

"Time...flows..."

For a time,

Mr. Guo's temples were turning gray, and his skin was wrinkled, making him look as if he had gone from being thirty to being seventy years old.

relatively,
Maximus's body, however, reverted from old age to youth, maintaining his current sense of fear, and his body returned to its former prime.

He stood up from his wheelchair.
Tear off the scarf and take off the top hat.

A handsome blond face was revealed, bearing a resemblance to Liberty.

Guo's weathered voice came through: "Ahem~ Teacher Ma, I'm counting on you next... to let these self-righteous outsiders experience what they call fear."

Maximus began to stretch his muscles and raise his right hand above his shoulder as if to make an "OK" sign.

Little did he know that raising his hand would cause him to lose his balance and fall down, his face becoming a bloody mess... Even so, he maintained an unusual smile.

Because Maximus saw things he had never seen before.
That thing, called the "Flood of Calamity," filled the entire world like a flowing river.
