Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 248 Mutant Two-Headed Giant, Sun Elf

Stepping out of the portal, the surrounding environment remained dark.

The humid, sweltering air, carrying a stench of humus and sulfur, assaulted everyone's senses, forcing them to hold their breath.

The entire space resembled a forgotten underground cavern, with dark red mineral crystals condensed on the rock walls, gleaming eerily in the dim light.

"What a huge giant!"

Xie Xie suddenly grabbed Tang Wulin's sleeve, his voice low but unable to hide his surprise.

Following his gaze, a colossal creature was curled up deep within the cave—a two-headed giant, eight meters tall, with its bluish-gray rocky skin covered in cracks resembling volcanic lava.

The two heads, one brownish-brown and the other reddish-brown, were now exhaling smoldering, spark-filled breaths in rhythm with their snoring.

"Is it a stone giant or a mutated cyclops?" Tang Wulin quickly searched his memory of the soul beast encyclopedia and made a judgment. "Based on Gula's attributes, it should be the former."

"That's right, it's a soul beast that mutated from a stone giant."

Gula's voice held a rare excitement as he stared at the sleeping giant, a dangerous smile playing on his lips: "You just watch, I'll see what it's capable of."

When dealing with such low-intelligence soul beasts, Gula always preferred the most direct solution—crushing their pride with absolute power. He took a half-step forward with his right foot, and the entire cave suddenly trembled violently.

"Everyone, wake up."

The ultimate place!

As the special ability was activated, blinding golden light poured down like liquid sunlight. The sphere of light, suspended in mid-air, resembled a miniature sun, and the previously damp rock walls instantly steamed with white mist, causing the temperature inside the cave to soar to a terrifying level.

"Roar--!"

The earth-elemental head was the first to awaken. Its rocky face was filled with crystallized minerals. As it clumsily propped itself up, the entire ground trembled.

Another crimson head then opened its lava-like eyes, yawned with a sulfurous smell, and sparks flying from between its teeth landed on its knees, burning several charred dents.

Gula's eye twitched. Although he already knew that giant human soul beasts inherited a thin layer of Titan bloodline, resulting in ugly appearances due to the thinness of the bloodline, the slovenly monster before him still exceeded his expectations.

Its left shoulder was covered with an unknown humus, and the sole of its right foot was coated with a layer of asphalt-like black substance, emitting a nauseating sour stench with every movement.

"Big guy, I hope you can surprise me."

Gula held his breath, and a walnut-sized, yellowish-brown dot of light condensed at his fingertips. This seemingly insignificant energy ball contained terrifying gravitational compression; it was his greeting gift to this disheveled opponent.

The two-headed giant finally noticed the "little bug" at its feet. Its brownish-brown head tilted in confusion, then suddenly and without warning, it raised its right foot. The filthy sole pressed down, carrying a foul stench, and a shadow instantly enveloped Gura's entire body.

"Tsk! Why make it so realistic!"

Gula noticed the suspicious black substance stuck to the soles of his feet and abruptly withdrew his fist, which he was about to throw.

He changed his fist to a palm and pressed down hard, causing dozens of sharp rock spikes to rise from the ground. These spikes, shimmering with a crystalline luster, were arranged in a stepped pattern, each pointing precisely at the giant's feet.

"Pfft-"

A piercing, teeth-grinding sound echoed through the cave. The two-headed giant let out a heart-wrenching howl from both heads simultaneously, staggering backward, its rock spikes now covered in dark red, gelatinous blood.

The blood sizzled and corroded as it fell to the ground, emitting foul-smelling white smoke. "Ah! Ah!"

The two heads alternately cried out in pain, and the moment their four eyes locked onto Gura, their sockets were filled with rage.

Gura frowned. The giant's reaction after being injured was too primitive, relying entirely on instinct rather than combat intelligence.

He drew a semicircle with his right hand, and the blood-stained rock spikes suddenly softened and reformed, transforming in the blink of an eye into a rock golem as tall as the two-headed giant.

This giant, made of pure earth element, is covered in amber-colored light patterns, and every joint is filled with Gura's personal understanding of large mechs.

Xie Xie gasped, "What is this? An elemental puppet?"

"No, it's a more advanced form of mimicry manipulation."

Tang Wulin's Purple Demon Eyes detected the hundreds of soul power threads extending from Gula's body.

"He has elevated his perception of earth elements to the microscopic level, indirectly manipulating control nodes with his own muscles and mental strength. However, this requires a high level of mental focus and should not be used in combat at the same level."

Before the words were even finished, the two giants had already collided with a deafening crash.

The rock golem's right fist suddenly transformed into a drill at the moment of contact, and the high-speed spinning rock cone pierced directly through the two-headed giant's left shoulder.

However, Gula quickly discovered the drawback: this precise control required a continuous output of mental energy, and due to the impact of the counter-force, the puppet's movements were delayed by 0.3 seconds.

The two-headed giant seized the opportunity to grab the puppet's left leg, and scorching lava gushed from its palm. Surprisingly, when the lava touched the puppet's surface, its trajectory was distorted by some force field, instead forming a fiery armor around the puppet.

Gula snorted and manipulated lava right in front of him. It would be more like the God of Fire had arrived!
The two-headed giant, having suffered repeated setbacks, suddenly ceased its attack. Both heads roared to the sky simultaneously, and blinding red light burst forth from the cracks in the rock on their bodies.

An ancient roar echoed within the cave, its body swelling to twelve meters tall as if inflated, its skin covered in boiling lava armor. Most astonishingly, its rocky skin faintly revealed a bronze-colored phantom.

Giant Titan!
Leng Yaozhu recommended the mutated two-headed giant to Gura because its two attributes combined could temporarily stimulate the Titan bloodline within him.

The body size increases temporarily, and physical attributes increase proportionally.

"Finally, you've shown your true abilities." Cooler was not surprised but delighted, and he clasped his hands together abruptly. The rock golem followed his movement, and the floating rocks suddenly exploded, blocking the giant while its every move completely overlapped with Cooler's.

He stared at the giant and roughly deduced the principle behind the giant's soul skill, feeling extremely surprised.

Because in the modified version of the game he played, Groudon's second evolution simply added the prefix "Titan".

"Unfortunately, it's not a Titan concept."

Gula, forgetting both himself and me, suddenly swung his fist and said, "You can step down now."

"boom--"

The rock golem punched the giant, using its mental power in the attack. The giant's tiny brain had very little mental power, and even two heads couldn't save it.

The giant crashed to the ground and vanished into specks of light.

A mechanical voice sounded in his ear, and Gula refused outright. He looked down on the mutated giant's thin Titan bloodline, but he did take all the immortal herbs. If Yuanen Yehui was willing in the future, she could try to take them away.
