Chapter 77: Chapter 69: Mythical Form and Ultimate Ascension


"Aikemos, is this the sacrifice you chose?"


The Flesh and Blood High Priest Aikemos shuddered upon hearing the Magma Giant’s words.


He knew he had gotten into trouble.


No, brother.


If you had this power, you should have used it sooner.


If you had displayed this power when you were attacked, I would have turned and run without a second thought.


The Magma Giant observed the Flesh and Blood High Priest’s silence and spoke coldly:


"Hmph, just a lucky one who gained power, though strong, our clan is not weak either."


The Magma Giant raised his right hand, drawing a Magma Greatsword from the volcano, surrounded by endless smoke, his eyes majestic.


"In that case, let’s extinguish your Flesh and Blood Hermitage here first."


Dark clouds dispersed, and the Demon Prince descended upon the world.


Chloe held a massive White Bone Long Halberd, her body suspended in mid-air.


Her entire body was cloaked in scales resembling red-gold, with magic circuits forming intricate patterns on her skin.


Sharp bones jutted out from her body, resembling armor, subtly writhing with her steel-like muscles as she breathed.


It was morning.


The soft morning light reflected on the shimmering sea surface; her face bathed in sunlight, calm yet imbued with divinity.


Elements of demon and angel were perfectly fused within her.


Compared to the Magma Giant, she seemed more like the ultimate weapon forged by the world.


With the Demon Prince’s descent, the surroundings trembled in the sea.


Endless demons responded to the king’s call, heading to the throne, transforming into an army that led the way for the king.


The members of the Flesh and Blood Hermitage slightly changed their expressions.


They were surrounded by endless demons.


The Magma Giant looked grim, but his red skin made it hard to discern his expression.


[Mr. Charles, please suppress them for me.]


The next moment.


A dragon’s roar echoed from the void.


A giant dragon head emerged from the dark clouds, endless thunderbolts wrapped within magical bubbles like dreams.


Charles had already quietly revealed his Mythical Form.


Mythical Form·Fantasy Dragon.


The Magma Giant began to hesitate.


Previously, the most imminent threat came from Chloe, but now realizing there was another dangerous power, he didn’t really want to fight anymore.


"A bunch of insects, already mortal enemies, and you still want to escape?"


Chloe sighed slightly:


"Humans are really foolish, but even fools have things they wish to protect, a notion you Evil God’s followers might not understand, after all, you were probably born without parents."


An eerie power spread out.


The Magma Giant discovered that the Flesh and Blood Priest Aikemos had his upper body blasted into a bloody mist without being noticed.


The mighty Flesh and Blood High Priest, a figure of dominance in the outside world.


Was now silently dead in this place.


But that was not all.


Chloe seemed to transform into a flicker of lightning, wiping out the hierarchy of the Flesh and Blood Hermitage in the blink of an eye.


Corrupted Priest, dead.


King of Limbs, dead.


Destruction Warrior, dead.


...


One after another prominent figures fell like raindrops.


The small fry fleeing for their lives on the islands were also ensnared by the sneering Demon Legion.


The Magma Giant also tried to intervene, but Chloe was well aware of his tactics.


The form he transformed into was demonically fast, bursting through like a whirlwind, a speed exactly what the Magma Giant Tanzan was least adept at handling.


Tanzan laughed in anger:


"Borrowing Abyssal power to become a Demigod, but a fake is a fake, you think you can escape?"


The power of a Demigod not only stems from a Mythical Form but also from the ultimate means formed through supreme mastery of a Legendary Domain, creating a Mental Image World.


It’s the ultimate technique to manifest one’s mental landscape, replacing the real world with the mental world.


An inferior Demigod is unbeatable!


He seemed enraged but felt apprehensive deep down.


This little human brat was dangerous.


Couldn’t afford even a hint of leniency.


So suddenly!


The surrounding sea scene was eroded by limitless volcanic lava.


Mental Image World·Magma Valley, unfold!


Charles intended to charge into that realm but was blocked by a sky-covering, sun-blocking wall of white bone.


In that moment, Chloe was dragged into the opponent’s world.


Instantly, the heat from the Endless Fire Realm converged onto the Magma Giant.


At the same time, in the Magma Valley, a colossal White Bone Centipede, vast like a mountain range, suddenly rose up.


"Tanzan, what did you bring in here?"


"Shut up with the nonsense, Cobone, now that you’re awake, help kill that troublesome brat."


The long-leg White Bone Centipede swiftly traversed the Magma Valley, resembling a moving mountain.


It was a Mythical Form.


There was another Demigod hidden within the Magma Giant’s Mental Image World?


But Chloe was not concerned.


He had long known what was hidden in Magma Giant Tanzan’s Mental Image World.


The White Bone Centipede moved extremely fast.


In no time, it caught up with him.


Both sides launched into a cataclysmic battle in the Magma Valley.


Without a word, Chloe revealed his true demon form.


A giant demon body over a hundred meters tall, reaching skyward like a skyscraper.


He engaged in combat with the opponent.


The Magma Giant didn’t join the fight at the first instance, merely standing in the valley, seemingly preparing something.


"Human, you’ve never seen such a Mythical Form before, have you? Haha, this form was forged from swallowing a bone of the Desolate God..."


"Insect, what are you barking about?"


Chloe frowned, feeling this guy was just noisy to his ears.


The next moment, the divine weapon forged from Abyssal Essence Demon Iron was firmly gripped by the Red Moon’s Cage Hand.


"Human, regret freely, this is the end for being enemies with the Flesh and Blood Hermitage!"


The White Bone Centipede [Cobone] laughed wildly, transforming into a White Bone Greatsword that could cleave the heavens, striking fiercely towards Chloe.


But just as it charged, it suddenly sensed something amiss.


Suddenly, it felt sharp pain coursing through half its body.


Terrified it was.


Ever since becoming the White Bone Centipede, there was no longer a notion of flesh-based pain.


Yet, horrified, it found that its white bone body was starting to grow flesh!


Tightly gripping the bone spikes of the White Bone Centipede, Chloe finally revealed the methods he had previously hidden.


Evolution to SR’s [Recovery] had quietly taken effect.


Optimize!


Transform the opponent’s maximum movement speed into Life Energy.


Cobone only felt its whole body as if filled with lead, movement starting to become difficult.


That was a sensation it hadn’t experienced since it abandoned its human body.


Known as fatigue, known as pain.


Without movement speed, pure Life Energy was just a sitting target to the Demon Prince.


The Red Moon’s Cage Hand gripped the Abyssal Battle Halberd, causing a sudden hurricane to sweep through the air.


With a single strike.


Ten halberds.


Hundred halberds.


Thousand halberds.


...


Have you ever experienced godspeed?


The skeleton witnessed it.


He wasn’t even torn apart; instead, the flesh that grew was slashed into a bloody mist by the Hurricane Battle Halberd.


In just a few breaths.


The skeleton felt his Extraordinary Origin slipping to the point of falling out of the Demigod Realm.


—He was actually slashed down to lose his sequence!


He let out an angry roar:


"Tanzan, aren’t you ready yet?"


"Already ready."


The Magma Giant laughed wildly.


Having the realm of a demigod doesn’t mean being able to exert the power of a demigod.


He didn’t believe that a counterfeit could really stop two real ones?


At this moment, the scorching magma of the Magma Valley had completely extinguished and turned into cold basalt at some unknown time.


The heat of the entire Mental Image World was almost drained by him.


This method would only be used when going down together with the enemy, a means to squeeze the source of the Mental Image World dry.


The Magma Giant Tanzan spoke with contempt but had no intention of holding back at all.


Only a Mental Image World can resist a Mental Image World!


He went all out with a strike that gambled the source of the Mental Image World, how could a fake possibly withstand it.


"Inferior ones, let me grant you an equal death!"


A terrifying heat gathered in the sky.


Like a sun descending to the human world.


"Still retaining such means, demigods sure are troublesome."


Tanzan mercilessly slammed that sun down.


As if to burn the entire Mental Image World to ashes.


"Take this!"


In the next moment.


A terrifying force spread out from Chloe.


"Come on!"


With a step forward, his body rose sharply.


A few steps shook the earth, and the valley wept.


Like an ancient giant god walking through the river of time, descending here.


SSR talent, Titan’s Power activated.


The ancient Titan returned to the human world, and he actually reached out his hands toward that terrifying energy.


At this time, Chloe had no heart to notice the system panel.


Otherwise, he would have discovered the words Titan’s Power on the panel constantly flashing.


Titan’s Power (SSR) → Titan Race (UR)


Titan Race (UR) → Titan’s Power (SSR)


...


With the Abyssal Blessing and the Titan’s Power infused with Divine Power, it began to exude the peerless splendor of an ancient mythological race.


"Give up, you can’t withstand it."


The crazed voice of the Magma Giant came from the sky.


"Just lie obediently on the ground."


Only he had no realization at all.


His thoughts now were no longer about killing Chloe, but about knocking him down.


He was afraid.


Yes.


He became afraid of a little guy who temporarily ascended to demigod using external force.


But the Gaia Sun Cannon, which he gambled almost all his power on, had yet to fall on the valley even now.


Even under his control, there were vague signs of rising.


Why?


Why is this happening?


"You guy..."


He was a powerful demigod, the pride of the Magma Giant, yet now rendered speechless by this monster.


"You think you can defeat me with this..."


Chloe’s roar came from within the Gaia Sun Cannon:


"What do you think I came to find you with in mind!"


He hadn’t even considered leaving intact.


He could have waited longer, waited until he became stronger.


But he didn’t know when the Flesh and Blood Hermitage would act against Nini.


In the simulation, there was still a chance.


But in reality...


He couldn’t wait even a second.


So!


Perish together!


This was his choice.


Abyssal Power continued to climb on his body, the Demon Armor covering his body showed countless cracks.


Scalding blood seeped through them.


The skeleton didn’t even dare to recover his injured body, instead turning to consume his origin, helping the Magma Giant amplify power.


They all started fighting desperately.


But Chloe still didn’t fall behind.


The blood from his crumbling body showered the ground like rain, his body gradually dissolving, but he continued to push the limits upward.


"Why is this happening?"


The two demigods completely couldn’t understand where that power came from.


[Warning! Warning! Demon Prince (UR) talent about to shatter]


But in the next moment.


Transformed into the Titan Giant God, he stomped the ground to pieces.


Optimize!


Without hesitation, he abandoned the UR talent, turning it into fuel to fill Titan’s Power.


[You have lost the talent Demon Prince (UR), you have acquired the new talent Titan Race (UR)]


Endless power settled in his body, finally transforming into the Fire of Life igniting his body.


War!


He clenched the Red Moon’s Cage Hand, delivering a punch of utmost ascension.


The power of the Gaia Sun Cannon at this moment was entirely pierced through.


The terrifying power turned into a blood-colored giant fist spanning the sky and earth, tearing through the heavens.


Tanzan and the skeleton had lived for over two thousand years, their noble lineage and demigod power greatly extended their lives.


In the inherent understanding of demigods, only the Mental Image World could resist the Mental Image World.


But today, they saw the Death God standing on tiptoe.


Crack.


A sound of shattering reverberated.


"My Mental Image World..."


Tanzan’s heartrending wail echoed, soon submerged.


Rays of sunlight and seawater flooded into the Magma Valley.


This punch annihilated the two demigods.


And also completely shattered the Mental Image World of a demigod.
