Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 131 Void Terror - Cho'Gath's Arrival

On the seabed of the Mediterranean, the giant egg known as the "heart of the devil" is pulsating with ever-increasing intensity.

Each pulsation reverberated like an ancient war drum, shaking the entire sea, with dark purple energy ripples spreading outwards from its center.

At the same time, it was constantly devouring smaller insect eggs around it. With each insect egg it devoured, the surrounding purplish-black mist became denser, gradually forming a phantom purple domain.

This extraordinary giant egg is the masterpiece carefully cultivated by the Void Queen Bervis.

A special being summoned through a void ritual using the remains of the fallen Atlantic Ocean Emperor, the Vast Ocean Whale.

Normally, it's not time for it to be born yet.

The Void Queen hadn't expected that the Holy City would send out only a small team to probe before launching a long-range attack in this way, causing the giant egg to be exposed so early.

However, all of this was a smokescreen she had designed. The extraordinary phenomena she caused when she broke through the void and ascended to become an emperor were too astonishing. If she didn't throw out a few powerful baits, how could she make the Holy City lower its guard?
However, even if this giant egg had been exposed earlier, the Holy City would still need some means to take it down.

The giant egg on the seabed suddenly contracted violently, and the eyeballs on its surface all turned to look towards the sea surface—there, the golden meteor transformed from the fourteen-winged seraphim Raphael was streaking across the sky.

The throbbing inside the giant egg became increasingly rapid.

Countless tentacles emerged from the cracks in the eggshell, greedily seizing the last remaining eggs around them.

It needs to complete its hatching before the seraph arrives.
A thick, purplish-black fog surged, and finally a jagged crack appeared on the surface of the giant egg.

With a tearing sound, a giant claw covered in dark purple carapace suddenly pierced through the eggshell.

The claws gleamed with a cold, eerie light as they tore a huge gash in the eggshell.

"roar--!!!"

With a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the Void Terror Cho'Gath finally hatched, its strange body resembling a demon emerging from a nightmare.

Kogas's thick, six limbs end in sickle-like claws, and each step he takes causes the ground to tremble.

Its spine extends with sharp bone spikes, and its tail is covered with serrated protrusions, resembling a twisted combination of an ancient dinosaur and an abyssal beetle.

Its head is shaped like an inverted triangle, resembling a hybrid structure of insects and reptiles.

Instead of eyes in the traditional sense, there are two rows of narrow lenses that shimmer with purple light, emitting a cold and hungry gaze.

Its mouth occupies two-thirds of its face, revealing several layers of spiral-shaped sharp teeth when it opens and closes. Its lower jaw splits into four lobes, and its ability to swallow expand to an unbelievable extent in an instant.

Six whiskers extend from around the mouthparts. These whiskers are not decorations, but sensory organs that can accurately locate the scent of the prey.

Its entire body is covered with a chitinous carapace ranging from dark purple to deep blue, covered with glowing crack-like patterns, and its interior flows with void energy.

Its dorsal carapace is particularly thick, forming a natural shield, while the exposed muscle fibers at the joints appear to be wriggling, suggesting its super-fast regeneration capabilities.

Kogas was "incubated" too early, and his strength did not reach the level it should have.

Suddenly, its spiral-shaped mouthparts expanded, generating a terrifying suction force.

As if summoned, the surrounding insect eggs flew towards its gaping maw, where they were crushed and devoured by its sharp teeth. With each egg it consumed, its enormous body swelled a little more, and the purple patterns on its carapace became even more pronounced.

"Not enough, I need more."

Kogas let out a low murmur, the sound like the overlapping chirping of a thousand insects.

Its carapace suddenly split open, revealing dozens of tentacles with suckers at the ends. These tentacles, like agile venomous snakes, frantically preyed on all the insect eggs within its field of vision.

Some tentacles even pierce directly into the seabed rock layers, digging out and devouring the insect eggs buried deep inside.

As Kog'Maw continued to eat, his body began to swell at a visible rate. Suddenly, Kog'Maw stopped eating.

His gaze fell upon the angels flying in from afar.

"Here comes the delicious angel."

Then, the clouds on the sea were torn apart by a golden light.

The fourteen-winged seraphim Raphael finally descended upon this sea, each of his wings radiating holy flames that purified all things.

However, when he saw Kog'Maw, who had already fully hatched, below him, his pupils contracted slightly.

"We're still a step too late."

Kog'Maw raised its ferocious head and said, "Your soul will be food for the void!" It spoke in a human voice, which had an eerie quality to it.

"Roar."

With that roar, Kog'Maw took a heavy step forward.

This step seemed to have landed on a fragile point in space, causing the entire area to tremble.

The space beneath its feet shattered like a mirror, and countless purplish-black void spikes shot out from the cracks. Each of these spikes was tens of meters long, its surface covered with serrated barbs, and its tips dripped with corrosive void slime.

In an instant, the entire sky was covered by these terrifying barbs, forming an inescapable zone of death.

Raphael rapidly flapped his fourteen wings, weaving and dodging through the dense barbs.

His figure transformed into a golden streak of light, each turn bringing with it the afterglow of holy flames.

However, the barbs were so dense that three of them attacked from different angles at the same time.

"May the Holy Light protect you!"

Raphael swiftly erected a six-pointed star-shaped barrier of light in front of him. Powerful light magic flowed across the barrier, radiating an aura of indestructibility.

However, when the void spikes struck the barrier, they began to corrode the sacred energy!

The first wave of barbs caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the barrier, the second wave pierced through the light curtain, and the third wave stabbed fiercely at Raphael's main body.

At the critical moment, the Seraph suddenly turned his body to the side, avoiding a fatal blow.

However, the purplish-black barb still grazed his left arm, tearing his sacred armor as thin as paper.

Golden angel blood slowly dripped from the wound.

"The power of the void can actually erode the holy light?" Raphael frowned as he looked at the purplish-black lines spreading across his wound.

This brief encounter made him realize that the monster before him was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

If Kogas had completed the full incubation ceremony and fully absorbed all the essence of the Vast Ocean Giant Whale Emperor, its power could have far surpassed that of the original owner.

However, the sudden burst of light from the heavens not only interrupted this process, but also forced it to hatch prematurely, greatly reducing its strength.

At this moment, Kog'Maw, though possessing imperial power, was far from what was expected.

To compensate for this deficiency, it had to devour its own kind—unhatched Voidworm eggs became the best supplement.

Seeing that it had wounded its opponent, Kog'Maw let out a triumphant hiss, and its carapace on its back opened completely, revealing countless wriggling tentacles underneath.

It is preparing to launch the next, even more ferocious attack.
