Chapter 457: Star, Niflheim (2)

Thats something we have to figure out ourselves.

What?

Bel-Marduks face scrunched as he wondered if Chang-Sun was messing with him.

I couldnt see that far, Smirking, Chang-Sun calmly met Bel-Marduks eyes. but isnt this information enough?

After blankly staring at Chang-Sun for a moment, Bel-Marduk dumbfoundedly chuckled. Of course, it is. I was wondering if you were messing with me, but I guess it doesnt really matter.

Bel-Marduk looked at Ubbo-Sathlas tentacle again.

Paaaah!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Flash, flash!

The storm raging around Bel-Marduk dominated the sky, sending out blindingly bright lightning bolts. There were a total of seven lightning bolts, each one a relic that Bel-Marduk had pulled out using the Authority that he had obtained when he became Taurus.

[The Celestial Taurus has activated the Authority Asarualimmunna[1]!]

[The Celestial Divine Twilight has activated the Authority Dream-Eating Beast in response to the power of the Celestial Taurus!]

Instead of reacting against each other, the two storms harmonized and expanded in every direction.

Woosh, woosh, woosh!

Divine Twilight Lee Chang-Sun and Taurus Bel-Marduk. Combining two of the Nine Heavens powers resulted in an extraordinary force.

Having difficulties breaking through the storm, Ubbo-Sathla could no longer move the tentacle that Bel-Marduk had just blocked. However, it also looked as if a belligerent predator was merely observing their prey, looking for weaknesses.

Paah!

A moment later, a spatial gap opened up in the sky, revealing an enormous reptilian eye. When Chang-Sun, Bel-Marduk, and all their subordinates looked at it, they immediately felt as if the world suddenly quieted down. Chang-Suns and Bel-Marduks storms and lightning bolts were still thundering all over the battlefield, and their subordinates intense battles were still causing a lot of noise. However, none of them could hear anything.

All. You. Cumbersome.

Ubbo-Sathla was furious.

Why. Many. You. Fight. Me. Every. Time.

Hsan, Bel-Marduk, Chang-Sun people who looked like each other kept picking a fight with them every time they visited the Great Universe. They were also trapped in the Rollback loop against their will now. It would have been stranger if they werent enraged.

Bel-Marduk tauntingly gestured at Ubbo-Sathla. I cant understand what youre saying. Can you not even speak properly? Stop stammering to yourself and just come at me.

Ubbo-Sathla frowned.

This. <Extinction>. Last. I. Escape. This. Annoying. Curse.

When the eye closed, they squeezed many more of their tentacles through the gap, which had widened like paper getting ripped. More than ten new tentacles struck the ground.

* * *

Spuuurt!

The Fire Giants and Frost Giants had finally dealt enough damage to the tentacle they were targeting to tear its tip away, sending chunks of it flying in the air. Although the tentacle was gigantic, the chunks were tiny compared to Ubbo-Sathlas size. Nevertheless, Chang-Suns subordinates were still happy.

We finally ripped it! Hahahaha!

Yeah! Lets keep tearing this Outer Celestial apart until they die!

Considering the Giants were already objectively helpless against one tentacle, witnessing Ubbo-Sathla squeezing in more should have been devastating. On the contrary, however, they seemed to be having fun. Experienced in combat and pursuing victory, Facing insurmountable obstacles tended to motivate them.

Besides, Master is laughing!

That alone gave the Giants more reason not to worry.

Sinmara dumbfoundedly chuckled. She couldnt remember the last time she had seen him smiling like that. Hes having fun.

Right? Weve been going through hell, though, Jin Prezia grumbled as he showed up beside her. He was smiling too. What do you think? Can we win?

What are you talking about? We have to even if we cant, Sinmara scoffed. She then smirked. All of this is Masters doing. Even if we dont stand a chance, hell simply find a solution.

[The Authority Dream-Eating Beast has been invoked, firing the first claw!]

Clang, clang, clang!

Chang-Sun sprang forward and parried away the tentacle pieces before they could cage them.

Paaaah!

[The Authority Dream-Eating Beast has been invoked, firing the second claw!]

[The Authority Dream-Eating Beast has been invoked, firing the third claw!]

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

With each swing of [Gungnir], Chang-Sun left behind sunset-colored afterimages. He parried away and destroyed the tentacles, dyeing the sky red. Not long after, he reached the spatial gap the tentacles were coming from and thrust [Gungnir] deep into it.

[The Authority Dream-Eating Beast has been invoked, firing the fifth claw!]

Staaaab!

Rummmble!

Chang-Sun started another explosion through [Gungnir], filling the spatial gap red. Ubbo-Sathlas eye opened up once more, revealing blood all over it.

Rascal.

Chang-Sun sensed the space around him distorting. Ubbo-Sathla was using their ability to destabilize his balance and hinder his divine power circulation.

[The Authority Avatar's Descent has been activated!]

Thump!

Chang-Sun clenched his teeth as he stomped with his right foot, nullifying Ubbo-Sathlas ability. Using [Avatars Descent], he had secured a certain amount of space around him.

Ooooooong!

Ubbo-Sathla let out a long howl, loathing Chang-Sun for his relentless retaliation. When they withdrew their tentacles to trap him in a void, Bel-Marduk showed up and launched a lightning bolt. It traveled from the spatial gap to the end of the void, slashing Ubbo-Sathlas eye.

Slaaash!

Splaaash!

An astronomical amount of blood spurted from the wound, threatening to flood the Dungeon.

Tsk. Its shallow, Bel-Marduk said, discontentment on his face despite having managed to leave a scratch.

He wanted to blow away at least half of the eye but only managed to scratch the retina due to the very robust barrier around them.

Kill. You. Kill. You. All.

Ubbo-Sathla was infuriated. The impossible had just happened, allowing a fly to hurt them. However, they didnt have the time to wallow in anger.

Chang-Sun extended his hand toward Ubbo-Sathla and clenched his fist.

Explode.

After shoving [Gungnir] deep into the spatial gap earlier, Chang-Sun had secretly blended Duskfall energy into it for this exact moment. A chain of vehement explosions erupted inside the eye, causing far more damage than external attacks could.

Ubbo-Sathla screamed in pain. Half of their eye had been destroyed.

Wooosh, swoosh, swish!

The more Ubbo-Sathla writhed, the more their tentacles lashed around at random, destroying the Dungeon. The mountain and every bit of the Iron Forest crumbled down.

Standing in front of the tremoring void, Chang-Sun turned to his side where a message window was displayed. Your mothers homeland is about to be destroyed for good. Are you going to remain a spectator?

[The Celestial World-Encircling Serpent looks at you with mixed emotions!]

As Bestlas heir, I order you. Join the battle, <Niflheim>.
