Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 330, 329: The God of Eclipse Saves the Day

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the giant jaws snapped shut with a deafening roar, leaving only smoke and dust filling the sky, and no one remained.

A series of bizarre sights had been assaulting Mike's fragile nerves all day, leaving him slumped on the ground, incoherent and unable to speak.

Mike pointed to the "hill" rising in the sky, stammering, "Turtle, turtle... umm!"

Feng Xiuhu covered his mouth and complained, "You can't say things like that."

After remaining silent for a long time, Shi seemed to have made up his mind about something and turned to shout to Feng Xiuhu, "Hurry up and follow!"

Having said that, he rushed forward.

With Shunzi's fate unknown, Feng Xiuhu dared not delay and grabbed Mike, transforming into a black shadow as he sped off in hot pursuit.

……

The luster of the feather in my hand gradually dimmed. As the last bit of starlight on it went out, the feather turned into a shadow from the tip, slowly disintegrating and falling to the ground before disappearing completely.

The darkness in Shunzi's eyes faded, and clarity returned.

He looked down at the disappearing feather in his hand, instinctively reaching out to grab it, but grasped nothing.

Looking up at the sky again, the tortoise-shaped phantom that seemed to support the heavens and earth was no longer clearly visible, and the shimmering starlight on his body was rapidly dimming, as if it would soon be invisible.

"Evil God..."

Shunzi was stunned and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Ugh……"

A long sigh echoed in my mind.

The turtle-shaped phantom in the sky disintegrated into countless points of light, which then coalesced back into a smaller, semi-transparent turtle shadow.

Although he was said to be smaller, he was still much taller than Shunzi. His body was much more solid, but it was still becoming ethereal at a visible speed.

Gan Dang lowered his head, his dark, deep pupils staring at Shunzi: "Not an evil god... but Gan Dang."

Instinctively, Shunzi took two steps back.

Only then was he finally able to get a full glimpse of Gan Dang's true nature.

The "evil god" before them had skin covered in solid scales, and his two eyes were like jewels set in a fierce face, deep and majestic.

His jaw revealed sharp teeth, yet he gave Shunzi a friendly smile.

His strong and powerful limbs steadily supported his massive body, and even though he was covered in scales, the powerful and beautiful muscle lines were still clearly visible.

Unlike the smooth shells of ordinary turtles, his carapace is rugged and disordered, like mountain peaks and hills, as if he were carrying an entire mountain range.

Gan Dang looked at Shunzi with kindness and goodwill, but when he opened his mouth to speak, his voice rang directly in Shunzi's mind.

"Child, listen to me."

Shunzi paused for a moment, then mustered her courage and went up to touch Gan Dang's nose with her finger.

His hand passed right through the illusory light and shadow, but he didn't touch anything.

Gan Dang said softly, "This is just a projection created by divine power... I am not here."

Shunzi murmured, "Who exactly are you?"

"I dare to accept..."

Gan Dang repeated softly, "You should leave, child..."

Gan Dang turned around and looked up, guiding Shunzi to look at the swirling mist in the sky: "The passage is not closed yet, they will find out sooner or later... Get out of here, the farther the better."

Shunzi panicked: "Leave? Where to? My home is in Fancheng, and my older brother is in Fancheng too—can't we stay?"

Gan Dang looked back at Shunzi: "I don't have much time left to be conscious. You have to live... You're the last one..."

As they spoke, Gan Dang's figure grew increasingly blurred. Shunzi cried out urgently, "Hey! Don't go! Explain yourself first—"

Before he could finish speaking, Gan Dang's expression suddenly changed, and he let out a menacing roar towards Shunzi's back: "Roar—!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Shunzi saw a huge beast sweep past his head, then step on Gan Dang's back and push off, sending the beast soaring into the sky.

"Don't block the way! Save your divine power and go back to sleep!"

The beast's voice finally reached Shunzi's ears, and then the illusory image in front of him was crushed by a single stomp, disintegrating into starlight and vanishing.

Before she could even feel sad and leave, Shunzi quickly looked up—only then did she realize that the thing that was speaking was actually a ferocious tiger with its fur trembling.

He walked on air, leaping several times and rushing swiftly towards the vortex of mist in the sky before plunging into it.

The vortex, which had been slowly swirling, suddenly began to boil and surge without warning. Then, a "red spot" appeared abruptly in one place, and the red spot spread rapidly, turning the entire misty vortex red in just a few breaths.

"Roar--!!"

As a tiger's roar that shook the mountains and forests resounded, the fog that had been obscuring the sky seemed to be affected by an invisible impact, instantly spreading outwards and disappearing without a trace.

The sunlight broke through the clouds and shone on the mountains and forests once again.

Shunzi looked around, trying to find the talking tiger, when suddenly a voice came from behind him: "Who are you looking for?"

Shunzi was startled and turned around abruptly, only to see Feng Xiuhu standing behind him, holding Mike.

"Big brother!"

Shunzi excitedly shouted, "When did you get here?"

"Just arrived."

Feng Xiuhu abandoned Mike, pointed to the distant hills, and asked Shunzi, "What happened?"

Shunzi looked up and saw that the tiger from before was standing on the top of Turtle Head Hill, looking in this direction.

Shunzi rambled incoherently: "Brother! The tiger spoke! The tortoise spoke too! The evil god—"

Feng Xiuhu slapped him on the back of the head: "I'm asking you where those angels are!"

Shunzi rubbed the back of her head, looking aggrieved, and pointed to the hill, replying, "It got eaten."

Feng Xiuhu pressed further, "Is he still alive?"

Shunzi shook her head: "I don't know."

At this moment, Shi leaped down from the hill and returned to the two of them in a few quick movements.

Shunzi pointed at Shi and shouted, "It's him! It's him!"

Shi ignored him and said directly to Feng Xiuhu, "He's not dead, he's just been suppressed."

“Gandang’s power is weak. The spirits of angels are protected by the Kingdom of God all year round. Even if Gandang can destroy their physical bodies, it cannot annihilate their spirits in one blow. So, it has no choice but to adopt this method—suppress their spirits inside their bodies and then bury their bodies in the mountains.”

Feng Xiuhu then realized why Shi was in such a hurry to deal with the mist vortex—it was because he was worried that the other side of the passage would discover the anomaly here.

So he pointed to the hill: "This thing is too conspicuous. If we leave it unattended, it will be discovered sooner or later."

Shi looked at the top hat on Feng Xiuhu's head.

Mr. Grey suddenly appeared next to Mike, bowed slightly and said, "Squad leader, I can handle it."

Mike had just gotten used to the presence of the Eclipse when suddenly a large rat appeared next to him. Without hesitation, he rolled his eyes and fell backward.

Feng Xiuhu quickly grabbed him and said to Mr. Hui, "Hide them? But what about the people inside? If they escape one day, it will be a problem."

Shi shook his head and explained, "Don't worry, if they dare to take that bite, their physical bodies will be crippled even if they don't die. As their physical bodies die, their spirits, which cannot break free from their bodies, will be worn down a bit every day they stay in the mortal world. It won't be long before they naturally perish."
