Chapter 44 - 22: Destroying the World, The True Body Appears! (Part 2)

Chapter 44: Chapter 22: Destroying the World, The True Body Appears! (Part 2)

The massive ice spikes fell like swords of judgment from the sky, effortlessly piercing through the thick mantle to impale and grind countless high-tier zombies into mincemeat.

Ice forged at Absolute Zero met no resistance, slicing through layers of solid rock as if they were nothing. From Alex’s vantage point, the entire planet looked like a sphere riddled with crystalline arrows.

The full-power strike of a Gold Saint, bolstered by his Cloth, left even Alex himself feeling a sense of awe. He finally understood why the gods of the Saint Seiya universe had imposed the "Divine Curse of Equality" upon all living beings; without such restrictions, their previous Holy Wars would have torn the world asunder long ago.

As a vast number of high-tier zombie priests perished, the phantom of God King Arthur suddenly dimmed. He let out a piercing, savage roar!

"I will kill you! Do you truly believe I have no way to deal with you?"

Boom!

Ten thousand cracks suddenly tore through the frozen earth. Magma, entwined with black mist, erupted from the depths as a gargantuan entity crawled out from the planet’s core. As it roared at the sky, the entire planet trembled. Alex could only see a fraction of its total form.

It was a mountain range forged from forcibly fused rotting flesh, embedded with countless decaying eyeballs. Its surface, wreathed in black mist, was so dense it actually distorted the light. This was a horrific demon that had parasitized an entire planet.

"Hunter, you have pushed me too far!"

A colossal hand swiped at him with the force of a tectonic shift, while countless tentacles surged from the ground like venomous snakes. The sky and earth were instantly stained a dark, bruised purple.

Alex flicked his wrist, and a bolt of golden lightning shot straight toward the monster!

Crack!

The monster was struck head-on. The black mist surrounding it dissipated slightly, revealing writhing tendons beneath. Those sky-covering tentacles froze solid before they could even get near Alex. The purification of lightning and the freezing power of frost were exceptionally effective against such degenerate monsters.

It howled in fury, forcing more of its massive body through the surface. The frozen crust split wide, and magma surged from the depths. The entire planet let out a deep groan, as if it might shatter completely at any second!

As the monster’s true form fully revealed itself, the mantle continued to moan. The black mist pouring from the fissures rapidly eroded the ice, causing purple-black bubbles to froth in the contaminated areas.

Broken corpses beneath the ice began to stir once more. Even those with only half a head remaining let out a synchronized, guttural shriek:

"God King! We praise your descent!"

God King Arthur’s roar did not travel through the air; it echoed directly within Alex’s consciousness.

"Insignificant Hunter! Did you think mere ice could purify my kingdom?"

"You know nothing of the power of a god!"

On the mass of flesh, countless scarlet giant eyes turned toward Alex in the sky, their madness tinged with a flicker of mockery.

"I am Death itself, the creator of the laws of decay! With your strength, you cannot possibly hope to harm me!"

Alex remained entirely unmoved. Had he not come from the Saint Seiya world, he might have been intimidated by this monstrosity. But having witnessed the grace of truly noble deities, he knew that the creature before him was merely an incompletely evolved, low-tier divine organism. Its raw power was inferior even to some Silver Saints!

"Die! Behold my true strength—rise, Undead Broodmother!"

The monster stomped heavily. The ice beneath its feet melted instantly, revealing a massive, writhing orb of meat. Upon closer inspection, it was a flesh-and-blood hive fused from hundreds of millions of corpses. This was the foundation upon which God King Arthur occupied the planet.

Countless blood vessels extended from the mass, connecting to the God King’s body and supplying a never-ending stream of energy.

"Now, witness true Divine Retribution!"

God King Arthur let out a roar as clouds of foul, dark green gas erupted from his body! Wherever this gas passed, everything it touched began to corrode and deform.

The world was plunged into total darkness!

This was the ultimate form of a Tier 10 Fallen Reincarnator—a degenerate divine being that had turned an entire planet into its own nest!
