Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 23 A Brand New True Body and the Oneness of Ten Thousand Thoughts

Chapter 372 A Brand New True Body and the Oneness of All Thoughts (5400)

A terrifying explosion erupted with Su Zhou at its center.

The body of Jörmungandr was formed from its consumption of an entire mountain peak, its total weight exceeding fifty billion tons. Every movement was a well-deserved impact of billions of tons.

In mythology, the complete form of Jörmungandr is the World Serpent that can encircle the Earth. Its mass would occupy a portion of a planet's total mass, a true planet-level divine beast—and if it were willing, it could definitely move and survive in outer space, becoming a terrifying behemoth wandering among the stars.

Of course, merely at the peak of the Overlord tier, Jörmungandr's power was only so much. Furthermore, unlike other divine beasts and dragons, aside from this extraordinary physique and venom, it had no other noteworthy abilities. So, even with such incredible power, it was not invincible and could be defeated, or even killed, by other dragons.

But now, the one controlling this body was Su Zhou.

His application of physical strength was far beyond what the originally almost mindless monster Jörmungandr could achieve.

At the instant the impact began, a massive sonic boom cloud appeared. The air transformed into a tsunami, and an inconceivable gale stirred, turning into a shockwave that spread in all directions.

The buildings and surviving monsters along the way were directly shattered and melted by the shockwave and high temperatures. The violent airflow brought by the thousands of degrees of heat merely brushed past, melting a building into lava, which collapsed with a mournful roar.

Within dozens of kilometers, all the buildings were shaking violently, even collapsing, and within this range, not a single living person remained.

In response, Matvey also fully unleashed his power—the white dragon god raised his hand, and instantly, the scarlet light piercing the clouds like a beacon swayed, then changed direction, directly illuminating Su Zhou.

This scarlet light, capable of instantly turning any creature into life essence and stripping away their soul, could reverse and disintegrate the essence of life, turning all living things into a part of the 'Red Sea' that once created all things. It was the authority of the Life Dragon, a god-tier dragon.

However, such an attack was useless when facing Su Zhou.

The giant serpent felt nothing at all; he didn't even notice such a light—and so, the white dragon serpent was stunned to be directly struck head-on by Su Zhou.

Instantly, the airflow generated by the collision between the two violently rubbed together, producing a bright, flame-like burst of light. Matvey was thus directly rammed by Su Zhou into the earth hundreds of meters deep, raising a huge crater.

【——How can you withstand my essence light?!】

However, the giant serpent, originally intending to continue its attack, stopped its actions. His head was slowly lifted by a massive force, unable to continue suppressing it.

With both hands braced against the giant serpent's jaw, the white dragon god slowly rose from the impact crater. Matvey directly contended with Su Zhou, his gaze shocked—he was not injured by the previous attack, but was simply dumbfounded because his ability had failed.

But this was not strange—not to mention that Su Zhou was originally from another world, and his body was not a condensation of magic from this dragon god world, so the Life Dragon's divine power in this world could not affect him—even if it could, his entire body was covered in Yala's undying blood, which came from the same source as the ancestral dragon bloodline of this world, and was even a level higher.

Matvey's authority, which required tier judgment, might be useful to others, but it was completely ineffective against him.

The white dragon god was incredibly puzzled, but Su Zhou, when fighting, would never care about the enemy's words or actions. Soon, he unleashed his power, breaking free from Matvey's restraint—then, Su Zhou turned his head into a hammer, carrying the mass of a small mountain, and heavily hammered down towards Matvey.

Bursts of sonic booms rang out, and a series of flame shockwaves that ignited the atmosphere were extinguished the moment they ignited. Matvey, located beneath Su Zhou, felt an endless darkness spreading overhead, as if the entire sky was pressing down.

If it were the past him, he would have had to, and could only, evade this attack.

But now, Matvey no longer needed to continue evading—neither the dark and ugly things in this world, nor the enemy's attacks.

【Haaah!】

Accompanied by a roar, Matvey raised his hands, his eyes flashing with rotating rainbow light. Immediately, the white dragon god spread his wings, and the colorful rainbow light unfolded along with layers of psychic barriers.

Boom! With a violent explosion, Su Zhou's head, striking like a meteor hitting the Earth, was actually blocked—semi-transparent psychic barriers, with rainbow light flashing at the edges, were propped against Su Zhou's head and jaw. To the giant serpent's astonished gaze, these semi-transparent barriers slowly lifted his head, even pushing it out of the crater!

This was no longer the power that an Overlord tier should possess—to be able to contend with Jörmungandr in terms of strength, this was already a preliminary step into the realm of gods!

But Su Zhou's combat reflexes were always quick. While his head was still contending with Matvey, he immediately controlled his snake tail to insert into the earth. Amidst the huge roar of the earth and rock layers being pierced, he forcefully pushed up, directly lifting a rock shell hundreds of meters long and wide.

The giant serpent wrapped its tail around this rock shell, then swung it violently, smashing it directly towards Matvey, just like a true 'meteor' hammer. During the smash, the lower end of the rock began to burn fiercely.

Even though he had already begun to ascend to godhood, he could not ignore this attack. The white dragon god could only turn his head, the halo in his eyes rotating, and the next moment, an invisible force turned into a grinding machine, crushing the rock shell into powder, turning it into a sky-filling dust.

However, this was exactly the effect Su Zhou wanted—taking advantage of the opponent's moment of distraction, Su Zhou opened his mouth again, and a violent gale mixed with venom, a breath capable of destroying all things, began to brew.

【It's useless, because of Mikhail's suppression, Jörmungandr's development is not complete—this dragon serpent, with only brute force and venom, cannot concentrate its power at all. Only by growing to a larger size can it be considered a first-class divine beast. As it is now, it is merely a mediocre second-rate product!】

【Even with you controlling it, it's no use!】

Facing the storm that had previously destroyed the entire flying demon beast cluster, even Matvey dared not be careless. His mind vibrated with cold thoughts, and the power within his body began to converge.

Above Matvey's head, the white ouroboros halo shone brightly, shining like the sun, illuminating Su Zhou, and the phantom of the ouroboros appeared behind him, rotating like a gear.

In that instant, it was as if the entire world was echoing his power, and Su Zhou's actions froze for a moment.

Immediately, the white dragon god pushed his hands forward, making an outward separating motion—instantly, with Su Zhou as the center, the earth, which was already trembling and roaring due to the giant beast's movements, immediately cracked open a deep abyss hundreds of meters wide and thousands of meters long, causing all the surrounding buildings and ruins to slide towards this abyss.

This gap was just slightly larger than Jörmungandr's body, causing the frozen Su Zhou to fall into it, stuck in the middle.

Then, Matvey, whose hands were trembling slightly, let out a breath. His gaze scattered for a moment, but quickly returned to firmness—the white dragon god then brought his separated palms together again, and the earth responded to his will, closing once again, just like the hand of a god, suppressing the serpent and burying its entire body underground, leaving only its head on the surface, like a prisoner waiting for execution.

【Hoo... hoo!】

Obviously, such an output of power, even for the current Matvey, was very tiring, consuming a lot of strength. But even so, he still forced himself to cheer up and raised his hand again, aiming at the sky.

Rumble—a thunderclap from flat ground. In just a few seconds, the sky-filled snow clouds that had been scattered by Su Zhou's burst of shockwaves gathered again, and dazzling lightning flashed between the heavens and the earth, accumulating a power far exceeding normal lightning strikes, even comparable to a 'heavenly tribulation'!

He was actually going to use the same method he had used with Yinglong and Leviathan to kill Jörmungandr, to kill Su Zhou!

In the short time of multiple exchanges, both sides had unleashed their strongest power from the very beginning. Matvey did not think that Su Zhou had any way to salvage the situation. In fact, the fact that he could actually control Jörmungandr's body with one head was already incredible enough.

If he had not prepared for the path to godhood for more than a decade and planned countless schemes, then the victor of this dragon god war would really be unpredictable.

But, just as Matvey was accumulating power, the immortal dragon head of Su Zhou, located on Jörmungandr's head, suddenly burst out with an even more terrifying pressure.

And as this pressure spread, the lightning light that was originally accumulating in the sky suddenly became chaotic, even conflicting and consuming each other, unable to condense the heavenly thunder power enough to kill a dragon god—this was clearly because someone was also interfering with the celestial phenomena with lightning magic!

【What?!】

This time, the outbreak was indeed beyond Matvey's expectations. He looked in shock at the place where Su Zhou's head was located.

Then, he saw that at the head of Jörmungandr, the black flesh and bones of the giant serpent were slowly cracking open, exposing a huge, still-beating flesh cocoon inside.

This enormous flesh cocoon was more than one hundred and fifty meters high, containing endless vitality. It could be seen that Jörmungandr's head had become somewhat shriveled, and it was obvious that the life force remaining in its head had been completely plundered and stripped away by this flesh cocoon, and incorporated into its own body.

And now, the flesh cocoon was cracking open, and the new immortal dragon, the body of Zhuzhou, was emerging from the cocoon!

"Ah... after coming all this way, and fighting for so long, I've finally recovered my body..."

Letting out a long sigh, the youth controlled his body and walked out of the cocoon.

At this time, Su Zhou's back was no longer empty, but already had a pair of exoskeleton wings similar to Yinglong's, but completely different upon closer inspection!

Not only that, but it could be seen that beneath Su Zhou's original immortal white scale armor, there were layers of dense, light-colored dragon scales—this double-layered scale structure was designed with reference to Fafnir's nearly immortal body!

Even, on the chest of this dragon, in front of the reverse scale of the Five-Colored Spirit Plume that was originally hidden, a dazzling golden crystal appeared... this extraordinary organ, originally designed with the peacock's Five-Colored Spirit Plume as its base, was now blessed by Su Zhou with a trace of the sun god's power left behind by Quetzalcoatl, and an extra crystal was condensed that could store a large amount of yang qi—although this had no effect for the time being, it could at least help Su Zhou store more spiritual power and accelerate Su Zhou's conversion speed in terms of yang attributes.

Revealing his complete form, Su Zhou felt completely refreshed!

Relying on Jörmungandr's massive vitality, he rapidly completed a series of experiments, directly completing the experiment of his new true body. And now, rid of his long, snake-like body, he was about to use actual combat to test his combat power!

【...Recovered his own body, even his complete form? As expected of a dragon god who, according to my speculation, can devour the essence power of his enemies.】

Facing Su Zhou's complete state, Matvey, who was rapidly recovering his strength, had a solemn gaze—ever since Yinglong told him that Zhuzhou had the aura of the divine tree and the water god on his body, he had guessed that Zhuzhou's ever-changing essence was likely due to the fact that he could actually rapidly evolve by defeating his enemies—and now, the facts proved his guess.

"You are indeed very powerful, Matvey. At first, I couldn't imagine that my final opponent would be you."

Standing on Jörmungandr's corpse, which had been sealed underground, Su Zhou raised his head and looked up at the sky. He could sense that within the white dragon god in mid-air, there were hundreds of thousands, or even more, souls wailing... Although, these wails were gradually calming down, gradually becoming peaceful, but they did exist, and this was unchangeable.

Therefore, the youth narrowed his eyes, calmly extended a finger, and shook it: "But, you've misunderstood one thing. That is, in the previous battle, because I couldn't judge whether you were bad people, I didn't use my full strength."

"But, now, it's different."

Boom! Instantly, for some unknown reason, Su Zhou's original fully recovered momentum suddenly increased wildly, soaring several times over—and at the moment after this explosion, the dragon god who had shown his complete form flapped his wings and unfolded his newly sculpted 'weapons'!

It could be seen that on the exoskeleton wings, which were like metal and suspended with vector nozzles, there were still a large number of white immortal scales hanging. No one could figure out why Su Zhou had to add scales to the already hard enough exoskeleton dragon wings, adding extra burden.

But now, with Su Zhou's thought, these scales stood up one after another, just like knife blades, with extremely sharp light flashing at the edges.

Then, accompanied by a roar, these knife-like scales exploded in a series of continuous explosions, like missiles, flying towards Matvey, who was waiting in full battle, covering the sky with countless different trajectories!

【This kind of ability is useless!】

The explosive power generated by the self-destruction of an immortal scale was not strong, but what if it was a thousand, ten thousand? The continuous scale bombardment covered all areas around Matvey, turning the mid-air of the entire city into a violent explosion scene, with countless shockwaves and flames overflowing.

But Matvey's voice came from behind the explosion. The white dragon god directly split open the smoke. He was unharmed—the semi-transparent psychic barrier still flashed with rainbow luster. It was so solid that even all the thousands of scale missiles that Su Zhou had launched were blocked.

But suddenly, Matvey, who wanted to counterattack, was suddenly shocked. He immediately stopped talking and quickly retreated, hurriedly dodging.

And the next moment, an incomparably condensed pure white breath directly passed through the area where Matvey had been before. It hit the clouds in the distance in a straight line, diagonally, and then blasted a huge blank space of dozens of kilometers long in the sky-filled snow clouds, revealing the starry sky behind!

—What's going on? This power is at least several times stronger than when he first fought him!

Having dodged this attack, Matvey's heart could not be more shocked—from the very beginning, Su Zhou had always brought him various surprises and even scares, whether it was getting rid of the control of the Mya Lord, or his powerful combat power, or the head that could leave his body, and controlling Jörmungandr's body, it was all like that.

However, these things were traceable, at least understandable, and belonged to the category of 'surprise' but 'acceptable'.

But now, Su Zhou's sudden surge in power by several times was simply unreasonable—did he really hide his strength before, just because he couldn't judge whether the enemy was a bad person?

That's impossible!

But Su Zhou didn't lie.

Slowly closing his mouth, wisps of blue smoke escaped from Su Zhou's teeth. He felt the majestic power in his body that came from 'gaze' and 'attention', but his mind was even more peaceful.

【Divine Power·Oneness of All Thoughts】

Derived from the forgotten enemy, it can convert all the mental power targeted at oneself into a powerful divine power that temporarily adds all-round buffs!

At this moment, not only Matvey, who had already begun to godify, but also all the souls in his body, all the dragon pearl holders and dragon gods who had been incorporated into his body, were all gazing at Su Zhou with Matvey, pouring incredible levels of vast mental power on him!

The sudden surge in power even caused blue lightning arcs to leap around Su Zhou's body. All his immortal white scales stood up, releasing a dangerous white light, at the point of imminent explosion.

And he let it all explode!

The sudden burst of light flashed from around Su Zhou's body, and all the explosive power was converted by him into the impact force to propel his own actions—in less than a thousandth of a second, Su Zhou had accelerated to the limit. Before the roar sounded, the ferocious dragon clenched his iron fist and pounced towards the white dragon god!

This time, Matvey still wanted to repeat the old trick, using a psychic barrier to block Su Zhou, but the giant dragon punched out, with the Arashi armor rocket propulsion, dragon wing vector thrust, and the immortal dragon scales constantly exploding, further raising the strength of this attack to an unprecedented level!

—Rocket Propelled Fist, Five Million Tons of Impact!

Although far less than Jörmungandr's suicidal strike, this power was more concentrated and faster.

And, it was also more handy!

Boom!

In the beginning of this second, with a crisp shattering sound, with the fist as the center, a huge dent and dense cracks first appeared in Matvey's psychic barrier, and then it shattered in response!

Even, as the white dragon god roared, a second, third layer of psychic barrier appeared immediately afterwards, but Su Zhou's million-ton punch, which was launched at dozens of times the speed of sound, was like punching dozens of punches at the same time. They bombarded Matvey's psychic barrier like a storm, without the slightest reservation, even if his own fist cracked due to the huge recoil.

Before the crisp shattering sound could sound, the next layer of psychic barrier shattered again, and until the end of this second, all the psychic barriers were shattered by Su Zhou with the purest brute force!

And Matvey, just like that, saw a fist that was already bloody, even full of shattered bone fragments, rapidly bombing towards his face, and constantly getting bigger...

Boom!

The white dragon god, just like that, was bombed down from the sky by the giant dragon, who was also white.

Then, they fell to the earth together.
