Chapter 309 Director Mo's Clever Plan Subdues Tang Snake, the Sacred Flame of the Sun Reveals its True Form

Faced with Tang She's tearful and hysterical pleas for reconciliation, Mo Zhen elegantly placed his hands in the pockets of his red trousers, his smile full of mockery and amusement.

"Are you joking? Just now, His Excellency Tang Shenwang was wielding his whip wildly, with lightning flashing everywhere, quite imposing, intending to annihilate us all to prove his path to death. Now that the situation has reversed, you think you can just casually say a word of reconciliation and let it go? This artistic transition is too abrupt and lacks any build-up."

These words caused Tang Snake's body to tremble violently from extreme humiliation and fear. It suddenly raised its head and questioned Tang Snake angrily.

How could you do this! All I wanted was to get rid of you obstacles and ascend to the throne of God-King, is it really necessary for you to be so petty?!

Its words were illogical and filled with the lamentations and resentment of a defeated dog; its self-proclaimed wisdom was completely overwhelmed by fear at the critical moment of life and death.

As the earth cloud's colossal, all-encompassing hand slowly descended with the force to crush everything, Tang Snake finally broke down, letting out a final, desperate cry.

[Fine! Since that's how it is... since none of you are willing to give me a way out, then let's all die together! This monster has devoured me, regained its power, and none of you will escape!]

Despite saying this, its will to survive still drove it to frantically twist its body, which was bound by the earth's pressure, in an attempt to detonate its soul power at the last moment to gain a sliver of hope.

At this critical moment, a look of wisdom appeared in Mo Zhen's eyes. He stepped forward and said loudly.

"Wait! Tang She, I have a plan that may save you from this predicament, but... it requires your willing cooperation."

At this moment, Tang Snake no longer cared about the dignity of a god-king. The instinct for survival overwhelmed everything, and it almost immediately raised its head and let out an urgent shriek.

[Damn it! Help me!!!]

Just as the giant palm of the Earth Cloud was about to strike, a spatial fluctuation power that Tang Snake was extremely familiar with instantly enveloped it!
Tang She felt a sudden lightness in his consciousness, and the world around him spun around him. The terrifying, earth-yellow giant hand, the deafening roar, and the various gazes of the crowd instantly disappeared into the distance.

When it finally came to its senses, it found itself in a small space surrounded by incredibly tough spatial barriers—the very interior of the super sphere it had once loathed!
After a brief moment of disorientation from escaping death, boundless rage instantly overwhelmed Tang She's reason.

It rampaged wildly through this space, its emerald green vines and the eight lightning spider bone spears on its back lashing against the inner wall of the sphere, emitting extremely sharp mental curses.

【Mo Zhen! You treacherous, cunning, despicable, and shameless villain! How dare you... how dare you use such underhanded tactics to take advantage of someone in distress! I refuse to accept this! You bastard, you deserve to die a horrible death! Release me! I will fight you to the death!!!】

It felt as if it had once again been manipulated by Mo Zhen, and the pride of the God-King had been trampled into pieces.

Outside the ball, Mo Zhen's voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, came through.

"Oh? Since King Tang thinks my methods are despicable and is unwilling to condescend to stay in this tiny ball, then I will release you now. I'm sure that Mr. Earth Cloud outside will be happy to continue his unfinished dinner."

As it spoke, the Superball seemed to vibrate slightly, as if it were really about to activate.

No! Wait!

All of Tang She's anger and pride evaporated instantly in the face of an absolute threat to his life, and he hurriedly changed his words.

[Hmph! I...I'm too magnanimous to hold a grudge against a petty person! I'll...I'll reluctantly stay here for a while! The sandstorms outside are too strong for me to contemplate the grand cause of becoming the God-King!]

It curled up inside the ball, muttering "a path to death" and "despicable and shameless" under its breath, but its body honestly dared not violently strike the ball wall anymore.

Outside the sphere, the massive body of the Earth Cloud visibly paused for a moment.

Its massive, lava-like eyes blinked in confusion, seemingly unable to comprehend how the "emerald green spicy strips" that had been radiating enticing energy fluctuations had suddenly vanished.

But it didn't dwell on that matter too much, and almost immediately locked onto a new target—Xiao Huolong, who was lying on the ground not far away, exuding a powerful life force!

That belly, as plump as a ripe yellow peach, seemed to the Earth Cloud as a giant tree fruit full of energy!

"Oh no! Its target is Xiao Huolong!"

Zi Yu was the first to scream. She clung tightly to Xiao Huolong's fat leg, her amethyst eyes filled with panic, as if her precious treasure was about to be taken away.

At this moment, the laziness and mockery on Mo Zhen's face completely disappeared. He turned to the solemn-looking red-haired old chieftain beside him and spoke quickly and clearly.

"Chief Adek, we can't hesitate any longer! This Earth Cloud has been suppressed by the Holy Fire for countless years, and this is its weakest period. If we don't seize this opportunity to defeat it, and it breaks free completely, absorbing the earth's nutrients to regain its power, the entire Unova and even the surrounding regions will face a catastrophe!"

Adek's imposing figure stood as straight as a mountain, his eyes flashing with the responsibility of a tribal guardian and the sharpness of an ancient warrior.

“Young friend, you are absolutely right! This beast broke through the seal because my Holy Sun Tribe failed to protect it properly! As the tribe's chief, it is my duty to eliminate this ancient calamity!”

Without further hesitation, he issued concise and precise commands to the elves under his command.

"Formation, deploy! Afro, launch a frontal assault to draw its attention! Warrior Eagle, flank and search for openings! Agile Bug, conceal your presence and wait for the right moment! Knight Snail, hold the line and protect everyone!"

Taking advantage of the precious moment when the Earth Cloud's greedy gaze was completely attracted to Xiao Huolong's plump flesh, the afro-haired water buffalo let out a deafening roar!

“Moooooooooooo!!!”

Its black, waterfall-like afro suddenly swelled up, and its four hooves slammed into the ground, creating spiderweb-like cracks in the ancient stone slabs. Its massive body transformed into a black torrent of destruction, unleashing its signature move—[Afro Assault]!
"boom!!!"

A dull, mountain-like impact resounded as the afro-haired buffalo's all-encompassing charge slammed solidly into the Earth Cloud, sending debris flying and causing its massive body to lurch violently!
Almost at the same moment, a hawk's cry that tore through the air came from above the dome!

The Warrior Eagle folded its wings, and its body burst forth with dazzling azure flight energy, as if it were wearing a battle suit woven from the sky and courage!

【Divine Bird Strike】!
It transformed into a blue meteor, swooping down with overwhelming force, its sharp beak piercing the same spot where the afro-haired buffalo had struck!

"Bang—!!!"

With a second heavy blow, clear cracks finally appeared on the hard rock body of the Earth Cloud, and tiny pebbles fell down in a flurry!
This combined attack was so powerful that it shook the heavens and earth, causing everyone watching to feel a chill run down their spines.

However, only a hint of annoyance, like being bitten by a mosquito, flashed in Tu Di Yun's lava-like eyes.

Suddenly, its arms opened wide, and the entire ancient city ruins, and even the boundless desert outside, seemed to resonate with it!
As if summoned, countless grains of sand, carrying the heat from the earth, surged wildly toward the body of the earth cloud!

To everyone's astonishment, the cracked wound was visibly filled and healed by new sand and gravel at a speed that was just like before!

"Roar--!!!"

Land Cloud let out a roar filled with provocation and anger, and swung its arms forward violently!
In an instant, the temperature inside the entire hall soared!

Countless scorching sand and gravel, like a tsunami carrying high temperature and kinetic energy, swept towards the Buffalo with the frizzy hair and the Warrior Eagle!

Where the storm passed, the air distorted, and even the light of the sacred flame dimmed!

"Hold on!"

Adek's pupils contracted, and he shouted sharply.

"Moo!" "Screech!"

The afro-haired buffalo was instantly enveloped in a pale green light shield, and the warrior eagle also folded its wings, creating an energy barrier!
“Rumble——!!!”

The scorching sandstorm slammed into the protective shield, causing it to flicker violently. Although it barely withstood the devastating attack, both the afro-haired buffalo and the warrior eagle were forced to retreat by the immense impact, their auras noticeably weakened.

Everyone was shocked by the terrifying power of Earthcloud and its near-immortal regenerative abilities. Even the mighty Champion Aldak, with his two strongest warriors working together, couldn't do anything to it!
Mo Zhen's eyes flashed, and he immediately grasped the key point, saying in a deep voice.

"It is replenished by the endless power of the earth's veins in the vast desert, making it practically immortal! Unless we can completely defeat it in one blow, we will inevitably be defeated if we drag this out!"

Adek took a deep breath, his weathered face showing no panic, but rather even greater composure.

"Afro-haired Buffalo, Warrior Eagle, keep attacking, don't give it a chance to breathe!"

The afro-haired buffalo roared and charged again, while the warrior eagle, enduring its injuries, circled and fired [Air Blades] to harass the enemy.

The Earth Cloud's attention was firmly drawn to the two constantly provocative ants. It swung its giant rock arms, continuously unleashing [Hot Sandstorm] and [Earth Power] in retaliation, causing the great hall to tremble uncontrollably under its power.

Just as the land cloud was gathering its strength once again, preparing to swat away the annoying afro-haired buffalo.

A blurry figure, like a ghost, appeared silently behind the rocky head of the Earth Cloud!

It's an agile bug!

It had somehow managed to push its speed to the limit, reaching the realm of true superhuman speed!

The next moment, the land cloud, which was waving its arms, suddenly froze.

Its massive, mountain-like body was instantly covered with countless cracks, starting from its head.

The cracks spread rapidly across its entire body, and its lava-like eyes were filled with disbelief, bewilderment, and frozen astonishment.

"Crash, lala, lala -"

Under the stunned gazes of everyone, the massive body of the Earth Cloud collapsed with a roar, turning into countless ordinary, energy-depleted pebbles and sand, which poured down like an avalanche, piling up into a small mound, devoid of any life.

The entire ancient city hall fell into a deathly silence, everyone stunned by this sudden and completely incomprehensible reversal.

They only saw the agile insect flash by, and then the invincible king of the earth and mountains... shattered?!

Only Mo Zhen clearly perceived that in that instant, the Agile Insect's life force was extinguished like a candle flickering in the wind; it had given its all to deliver this earth-shattering blow.

This is the Agile Bug's trump card - [Desperate Struggle]!
This move can deal damage equal to your own health to the opponent, making it the most realistic true damage in the game. The cost is that you immediately enter a near-death state.

The level 57 Earth Cloud's health was obviously lower than that of the level 65 Agile Bug, and it was instantly killed by this true damage attack that ignored defense.

The gazes of the crowd toward Adek were filled with shock and awe.

This seemingly retired farmer, Indian chief, possesses unfathomable strength and a bond with the spirits willing to die for him, which is truly awe-inspiring.

Even Duro Gattuso, who had been hiding in the shadows watching the show with his arms crossed, showed a hint of extreme shock in his eyes behind his sunglasses.

"This old native is truly cunning. No wonder the alliance had to recruit them. It seems I won't need to intervene this time..."

Just when everyone thought the matter was over and their tense nerves relaxed slightly.

"Om..."

A terrifying wave of energy suddenly emanated from the seemingly lifeless mound of rubble!
"Crack...crack..."

Under the horrified gazes of everyone, the ordinary gravel and sand on the floor of the main hall once again floated and gathered together, and the powerful earth magic surged wildly towards the center like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea!
In the blink of an eye, the majestic and ferocious body of the Earth Cloud once again stood in the center of the hall, as if the collapse just now was just an illusion!
Unlike before, the energy fluctuations emanating from the Earth Cloud now seem to have weakened somewhat, but have become even more violent!

In its massive, lava-like eyes, the previous confusion was replaced by a hysterical, insane rage.

“Roar, ahh ...

In order to force its way back from the deadly rule of "fighting for its life," it obviously paid a huge price, burning some of its original divine power, and its level dropped from level 57 to level 54!
But what this price was paid was a destructive will that disregarded everything after his mind was completely consumed by rage!

Suddenly, Earth Cloud raised its arms high, as if embracing the entire world, and its giant lava eyes instantly turned into a scorching, dazzling bright yellow, like the core of the earth!

[Domain Expansion: A Coffin Enclosed by an Iron Mountain]

The next moment, everything changed!

Countless colossal stone mountains, hundreds of feet high, rise from the ground with a thunderous roar, like the backbone that supports heaven and earth in mythology, breaking through the sea of ​​sand!

They converged and surrounded each other at a speed that defied the laws of physics, instantly forming a completely enclosed hemispherical rock-iron dome that trapped everyone inside!
Inside the dome, the light suddenly dimmed, with only the earthy yellow divine light emanating from the Earth Cloud and the sacred fire of the sun in the center of the hall providing a faint source of light.

The next moment, terrifying gravity descended upon this area.

"Ugh—!"

"Hmph—!"

"Aaaaah—!"

In an instant, all people and elves were pressed down hard by the invisible earth god's power!
Dan Yu groaned, and the crimson dragon scale phantoms around her body flickered wildly as she barely managed to support herself.

Mingyi collapsed to the ground with a "whoosh," and Flash Flame Ace Little Red anxiously tried to approach with Quick Attack, but struggled to move due to the terrifying gravity.

Even Director Mo's expression changed slightly, and he could barely stand up thanks to Xiao Mengzi's mental power.

Only Zi Yu stared blankly at the crowd around her, seemingly unaffected by the oppressive aura of this domain.

All the other people and elves were pinned to the ground by the terrifying gravity of the [Iron Mountain Enclosure], making it a luxury to even move a finger, their eyes filled with terror and helplessness.

"I see. It didn't use its true divine authority just now, but it seems to have triggered a self-protection mechanism..."

Mo Zhen squinted his artist's eyes and instantly understood.

This king of the earth and mountains seems to have something wrong with him; his consciousness is incomplete, and he fights entirely on instinct. If he had a normal consciousness like the tornado, Adek would never have succeeded so easily just now.

Aldak's Afro Buffalo and Warrior Eagle were targeted by the domain's power, with immense gravity imposing on them and restricting their mobility.

The Earth Cloud's [Earth God's Power] and [Hot Sand Storm] bombarded them in turn, forcing them into a retreat.

Amidst this chaos and despair, Luca Mingfei, suppressed by gravity, lay prone on the ground, struggling to get up, but was powerless because she could not start sit-ups.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

Just then, a series of heavy and powerful heartbeats, like the beating of ancient war drums, suddenly rang out from the depths of its soul, growing louder and closer!
What is that sound?
The next moment, the scene before its eyes suddenly changed, and it entered a pure white space...

At that moment, Mo Zhen suddenly realized something. When his gaze fell on the sacred fire of the sun, his eyes narrowed sharply, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face!
"Wait...why does this thing have a level on its head?!"
