I'm not just human!

"No wonder you dared to stand up for me and protect your group of extraordinary beings. So you had something to rely on, but..."

Suddenly, the young man clad in golden armor was enveloped in a mixture of gray aura and golden blood, transforming into some terrifying monster.

"...Compared to me?"

Chapter 394 Xia Fa's Second Ultimate Form! It can actually reach this level?

An inverted pyramid, one level.

Gilgamesh, who had just rushed in without a care in the world, was shocked to find himself completely trapped here, unable to break through to the second level.

This seems to be due to the rules set by that Celestial Venerable, or it could be due to the rules imposed by the narrator himself.

Fortunately, the "secret of eternity" that He possessed allowed Him to directly observe what was happening on the second level after entering the inverted pyramid.

Outside the inverted pyramid, it doesn't work. Once everything is obscured, He is essentially facing the rules of the divine and the physical world, and the "secret of eternity" is useless.

Gilgamesh stood between two empty battle platforms, his hands pressed against the floor. Countless ancient runes spread out from his palms like insects, quickly forming a circular ritual array.

Without anyone noticing, on the second level of the inverted pyramid, the ground covered by the circular ritual array suddenly became transparent, as if it had turned from stone slabs into glass.

Gilgamesh dared not delay, and while still crouching on the ground, he immediately looked at the second level of the inverted pyramid.

He desperately wanted to know how Shaphat had become.

Boom-!

The instant His gaze fell downward, a sound like a giant drum suddenly resounded from the entire inverted pyramid.

No, that wasn't the sound of drums, it was... the sound of a heartbeat!

Gilgamesh felt a sudden tremor in his heart, and at the same time, an uncontrollable violent and bloodthirsty desire rose up from the depths of his heart.

It seems that the sound of that heartbeat, or rather, the owner of that heartbeat, directly aroused His deepest and most hated hostility as a transcendent god!

This hostility doesn't even stem from past deep-seated hatred; in other words, it doesn't come from thought, but from instinct!

It's like a lion meeting a hyena, or a tiger meeting a bear; it's a battle between kings, and only one of them can survive!

"This is……!"

Gilgamesh suddenly realized something and looked incredulously through the glass floor at the boy whose gray aura and golden blood intertwined.

That boy, named "God Buster".

At this moment, not only did Gilgamesh feel an overwhelming and intense hostility towards the "Killer of Gods,"

On the second level of the inverted pyramid, all the Outer Gods, from the gods themselves to extraordinary monarchs like Casimir, felt a deep-seated hostility, as if they were sworn enemies.

Among the gods present, those who were knowledgeable immediately realized the reason.

"The Great Old Ones...?"

Indeed, only the Great Old Ones and their followers can incite such instinctive and uncontrollable hostility in extraordinary beings!

No one knows why, but this is the reason why the Great Old Ones and the Nine Great Gods fought to the death more than 30,000 years ago!

The Outer Gods, such as the Celestial Banshee and the Dream Fairy, have never encountered the Great Old Ones, but they have personally killed many of the Great Old Ones' followers or corrupted individuals who were corrupted by the Great Old Ones' aura.

The followers of the Great Old Ones are almost all from the tombs hidden by the Great Old Ones. As for the corrupted ones, they are generally corrupted by the followers or failed to resist the uncontrolled effects when consuming the fruits of the Great Old Ones.

And now, the young man who dared to speak disrespectfully to a physical being, who stabbed the old Outer God [Fruit of Druid] to death with a single sword, and who was suspected of possessing the strength of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable, is now... emanating an extremely dense aura of the Great Old Ones!

"That's interesting..."

Xia Fa stared at [Godslayer], who was about to complete his transformation. It wasn't that he was unwilling to launch a sneak attack, but rather that he sensed that [Godslayer] was more dangerous in the process of transforming, and that interrupting him rashly would lead to unpredictable consequences.

On the contrary, it seems more controllable to fight Him head-on after He has transformed.

But Xia Fa never expected that this extremely mysterious and powerful [God Slayer] would actually carry the aura of the Old Ones!

But the patterns on His golden armor are exactly the same as those of the Golden Cleanser. How is that possible?

It's important to understand that the Golden Cleansers and the Great Old Ones were truly mortal enemies. More than 30,000 years ago, the Golden Cleansers disregarded the Nine Great Gods and prioritized eliminating the Great Old Ones.

Just then, a trembling voice, filled with extreme fear, rang out from the crowd behind them.

"This... this thing called 'God Slayer,' could it be an Outer God descendant of some Great Old One? If so, we're all doomed!"

The offspring of the Outer Gods who are the Great Old Ones are essentially those who directly possess the bloodline of the Great Old Ones; no one would not be afraid of that.

The Celestial Banshee spoke with considerable anxiety, but denied the hypothesis:

"That's impossible, because the golden armor He wears seems to be made of the same material as the Golden Cleansers. His origins are actually far more mysterious than those of the Outer God offspring of the Great Old Ones..."

Seeing this, all the surrounding deities turned their gazes to the tall, cold-faced [Star Spirit Banshee]. Finally, [Dream Fairy] couldn't hold back any longer and asked first:

"You saw the Golden Cleaner and then managed to escape?"

Before this, no one present recognized the new patterns that appeared on the golden armor of [Godslayer] after he unleashed his full power.

Unexpectedly, the peak Outer God, [Star Spirit Banshee], actually recognized her.

"Well, actually I haven't seen it. Once, when a Golden Cleanser raided the Nightmare Priests' divine city, I happened to catch a glimpse from a distance and then immediately teleported away, but that's why I can recognize it."

Although Xia Fa didn't turn around, upon hearing the words of the Celestial Banshee, she couldn't help but marvel at her good fortune.

After all, under normal circumstances, no one who encounters the Golden Cleaners can survive, except for myself and the unknown beings at the Unknown Beings Conference.

But this time, none of those unknown beings came, so at first no one could recognize the patterns on the [Godslayer] armor.

Boom-!

Just then, another loud heartbeat rang out, and the gray aura and golden blood energy swirling around [Gods' Nemesis] suddenly contracted inward.

A completely unexpected "monster" was thus revealed.

At first glance, it looked like a centaur, but it had eight legs and its body was covered with fleshy buds, with bone spurs protruding between them. It held the heavy sword horizontally in both hands, and golden armor covered its head and chest, while the rest of its golden skin was exposed, as if it was only protecting its vitals.

At the same time, an aura comparable to that of a quasi-celestial being rose from the transformed [Gods Slayer].

That's right, this isn't the aura of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable, after all, [Gods' Nemesis] is just an Outer God. However, the pressure emanating from this aura is exactly the same as that of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable!

Seeing this, the gods outside the gods, who had initially felt a glimmer of hope after witnessing Xia Fa enter the critical second stage of loss of control and summon a possessing spirit, felt their hearts sink once again and fell into deep despair.

On the first level of the inverted pyramid, Gilgamesh looked on in disbelief, and was especially anxious because his own descendant was the only one who had stepped forward to fight!

boom--!

The next moment, a large pit suddenly appeared on the ground of the second level of the inverted pyramid, which had been reinforced by the rules of the Celestial Venerable and the physical body and was originally extremely difficult for external gods to destroy.

[Gods' Nemesis] charged toward Xia Fa with incredible speed and extreme ferocity!

He wielded the heavy sword with one hand, and with lightning speed, swung it horizontally, creating a large expanse of gray and gold sword light, instantly slashing towards Xia Fa's body.

This is an extremely simple move, but when combined with the speed and immense power of the transformed [God Slayer], even if all the Outer Gods present attacked together, they would be completely unable to stop it and would be instantly killed!

Just as Xia Fa was about to be unable to resist or dodge, suddenly, with a "whoosh".

His near-perfect platinum-gold figure vanished from the spot.

[Gods' Nemesis]'s sword strike missed its mark. Before he could even locate Xia Fa, Xia Fa appeared behind him, raising both of his sabers high at the same time.

The nearly ten-meter-tall Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" also raised his heavy sword in sync with Xia Fa's movements.

With the mutation of the "Six-Winged Sun Bird" and the addition of "Chaotic Destruction Lightning" and "Metal Accumulation Storm", Xia Fa was already extremely fast. This attack was so fast that he teleported behind [God Slayer] the instant it came down and launched a fatal counterattack!

Just as His sword was about to strike, the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" also brought down his heavy sword. At that moment, with a "whoosh," the figure of [Godslayer] also vanished.

At a terrifying speed that even peak Outer Gods like the [Star Spirit Banshee] couldn't see clearly, [Godslayer] appeared behind Xia Fa instead, and without saying a word, thrust his heavy sword directly into Xia Fa's back!

[The Nemesis of Gods] This time, the speed was even faster than Xia Fa's counterattack. The heavy sword was about to pierce Xia Fa's heart, but at this moment, there was another "whoosh".

Xia Fa's figure blurred and disappeared in an instant, reappearing behind [Godslayer]. He also thrust out his two swords, aiming for [Godslayer]'s back. The Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paoer" moved in sync with Xia Fa, his heavy sword also thrusting towards [Godslayer]!

"Do you really want to keep playing such a childish game forever?"

Unexpectedly, [Godslayer] did not choose to flash behind Xia Fa again, and even seemed too lazy to turn around, his tone filled with a kingly indifference:

"Or perhaps you know you are no match for me and are trying to buy time, hoping to live for as long as possible?"

when!when!when!

Three resounding clangs, like metal clashing, erupted at that moment. It was Xia Fa's two swords, the greatsword of the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul," all piercing the back of [Godslayer].

However, even though Xia Fa had used all his strength, and the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paoer" as the possessing spirit had also used all his strength, they still couldn't make any progress!

"Xia Fa, in terms of head-on strength, you are not as good as me. You think you can barely compete with me with your speed, but you are wrong."

[The Nemesis of Gods] slowly turned around, and everyone could see clearly that on his back, which was covered with fleshy buds and bone spurs, there were only three faint white spots where he had been stabbed, and the skin was not even broken.

In that instant, even the peak Outer Gods, including the [Star Spirit Banshee], felt their scalps tingle and an extreme fear surged within them, which they could not suppress and even overshadowed their instinctive hatred.

They asked themselves, they knew they couldn't possibly have blocked Xia Fa's attack just now, yet they couldn't even break through the skin defense of the [Godslayer]...

In an instant, everyone finally understood why [God Buster] dared to speak rudely to the commentator, who was a physical entity.

The strength of the [Gods' Nemesis] is extremely terrifying even among Quasi-Celestial Venerables!

At this moment, the commentator, who was pretending to be stuck, also closely observed this scene through his own rules.

He could only feel fortunate that the "Bard" had reminded him through the Redemption Fire Crystal; otherwise, if he had dared to rage and attack just now, he would probably have been killed by the [Godslayer].

Although the [God Slayer] is only an Outer God rank, not a Celestial Venerable rank, and can be resurrected after being killed, it would take at least a few years. Considering that the Golden Cleansers will all be resurrected in a year, it would be practically the same as being dead.

At the same time, the commentator was also filled with worry.

This "Gods' Nemesis"... is it really the whetstone that the Ninth God chose for Xia Fa?

It looks like... Xia Fa is about to be crushed like an ant by the [Gods' Slayer]?

After all, he's only at the level of a god; it's too much of a stretch for him to fight an Outer God like the [God Slayer] right now...

Whoosh whoosh!

Just as the commentator was considering whether to act recklessly, risking the power of five near-out-of-control attacks, to save Xia Fa,

Within the arena, [Godsbane] launched a full-scale offensive, his entire being almost transformed into a golden shadow, surrounding Xia Fa.

At this moment, the speed displayed by [Gods' Nemesis] was actually dozens or even hundreds of times faster than before!

Every time He swung his sword, just as Xia Fa was about to raise his knife to block, the sword would immediately disappear, and then, in places Xia Fa couldn't defend—whether it was his back, abdomen, or thigh—a deep, bone-revealing wound would immediately appear.

In just a few breaths, Xia Fa was already in a sorry state, covered in blood, and unable to even slightly intercept the [God's Nemesis].

The cold laughter of "Gods' Nemesis" rang out in the air, full of mockery and ridicule.
