Chapter 126: The Beast Gods Against The God of Destruction

-----

Although all Divine Beast Gods had gathered, only four out of the five had appeared. The fifth was instead somewhere else.

The reason? Bing Xue had created him a perfect vessel, a being created out of the Divinity Fragments and Body Parts of the slain Divine Beast Spirits and the Barbarian God’s Avatars.

It was a special type of lifeform, an entity that she fed with the Spirit Tree’s Spiritual Energy, her own Ki, and many Martial Treasures.

An entity that took fifty years to grow into its current form, which was within mere seconds inside of her Inner Realm.

A unique being, born from a dead Divine Beast Spirit and the Divinity Fragments of the Evil God that usurped their world from them.

An entity whose existence would have never happened if none of these events had occurred, a unique God and the one that she designed specifically to maintain this world.

“ROOOAAARRR!”

Its appearance was chimeric, with the head of a black lion, the wings of a bat, and the legs and tail of a dragon. Despite its monstrous form, this creature was, without a doubt, a Divine Beast Spirit!

Yet at the same time, it was much more than just that. Its body was not spiritual or ethereal, and it possessed a physical body made of divine metal and diamonds.

Both of these materials were created from either divine avatars or the transformed bodies of slain divine beasts.

Therefore, within it, there wasn’t just the power of a Divine Beast Spirit, but also of the very God who had taken everything from everyone.

“I am well aware that this world cannot go back to how it once was anymore, you’ve changed it too much,” Bing Xue said. “And that’s why I’ve created him; I present to you my child, Typhon. He shall take your place, Barbarian God.”

“W-What?!” god muttered. “You… YOU DARE THINK I CAN BE REPLACED?! I WOULD RATHER DESTROY THIS WORLD!”

With a furious and maddening scream, the barbarian God made the entire world of Elios shake even more. More volcanoes erupted, filling the once beautiful grasslands, forests, and jungles with lava, and turning everything into a hellish landscape.

“We won’t let you do that!” suddenly, a mighty voice echoed from within Typhon, alongside a ferocious lion roar. “As long as I and my children are here, we shall finish the job once and for all, Barbarian God... Or, as I should say, Rakshasa!”

Rakshasa is the true and real name of the Barbarian God, or, as his true title was, the Evil God of Destruction.

“That voice…?!”

And Rakshasa recognized it; after all, he had fiercely battled him long ago and barely won against him before sealing him away and slowly draining his powers.

The Ruler of All and the Father of All Other Divine Beast Spirit Gods.

“The {Star-Gazing Azure Lion of Beginnings}?!”

A mighty Divine Beast God, the creator of Elios and of all other Divine Beast Gods, a being that came from the stars themselves, much older than the planet, and who saw the world before it was assimilated by the Tower.

He had grown weaker over a long time, but Typhon, the chimeric beast spirit god, had become a perfect vessel for his divine spiritual powers, the gigantic “child” of Bing Xue, unleashing an aura of cosmic light resembling a beautiful azure nebula around it.

“Prepare yourself; today we take back the world you stole from its people!”

The Lion roared, as the Barbarian God could only smile defiantly.

“TRY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT, LITTLE KITTY!”

RUMBLE!

All five Divine Beast Spirit Gods and their vessels rushed towards the God at once, attacking his titanic body with their strongest techniques.

Mursha was first, unleashing a spinning attack using her giant golden axe, covering herself with her Blood Aura and the Phoenix’s Flames of the Sun.

“RAAAH!”

Resembling a slashing tornado of divine spiritual flames powered up by the phoenix and her divinity of Hope together into one, Mursha’s technique reached a new level, devastating the left side of the Barbarian God as she easily pierced through his defensive divine barriers.

SLAAASH! SLAAASH! SLAAASH!

Crack, crack… CRACK!

CRAAASH!

“She’s stronger than I thought!” He gritted his teeth in disbelief. “DIE!”

He swung dozens of titanic arms towards Mursha, only for Bing Xue to disappear from her current position and then reappear in front of the gigantic arms.

“As long as I am here, you will not get a single hit on them.”

She swung her hands as a gigantic golden palm made of Divine Photon Essence materialized and impacted all arms, disintegrating them within seconds.

BOOOM!

“Ugh! T-That’s not fair!”

“Fairness?! Are you really asking for that after what you’ve done to our world?!”

The Silver Moon White Hare roared, imbuing her powers into Peperina. Her hammer became silver and black colored, growing to a titanic size of over a hundred meters. She swung it down furiously, crushing the god’s head and making it crumble down!

CRAAASH!

“Uuuaaagghh!”

As Rakshasa screamed, the other Divine Beast Gods kept attacking him. Urbosa and Merkite, with the white and black wolves of life and death, unleashed beams of thunder and winds powered by divine spiritual powers, withering the body of the god and also making countless plants grow, which devoured and absorbed his energies.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

His body was rapidly crumbling apart, and it wasn’t regenerating as quickly as he wanted! He began to question what was happening anymore. It was as if his powers were slowly disappearing or leaving him!

“DAMMIT! DIE!”

Rakshasa, in his anger, conjured hundreds of titanic weapons made of his crimson blood, firing them at all the foes in front of him! As strong as they were, such attacks would easily tear everyone to shreds.

Yet…

“I told you already.”

Bing Xue waved her arms as a wave of Divine Photon Essence, resembling rainbow lightning and liquid gold, encompassed all attacks before they could reach anybody, moving at the speed of lightning itself.

All weapons he created and fired were instantly encompassed by these powers, turning gold and then being fired back at the barbarian god!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

His body was suddenly covered by hundreds of gigantic golden weapons, exploding and making his over-two-kilometer-tall body crumble down faster.

“As long as I am here, they will not get a single hit from you, Rakshasa!”

“Ugh! No…! Why…! Why are you not letting me get even a hit on them?! This is not fair! I require a fair battle! T-This is not…!”

“Is it only fair when things go according to your plans, but when they suddenly don’t, you claim the game is rigged?!”

The mighty, stargazing lion roared as Typhon rushed down. Using its giant dragon claws, the chimeric spirit beast slashed apart the many heads of Rakshasa while unleashing beams of cosmic light, blowing him up into pieces.

“I cannot believe our world was taken away by such a hypocrite!”

Peperina and the Silver Moon Hare crushed his body with their hammer, piercing through it rapidly with powerful and impactful charging attacks, leaving hundreds of holes across Rakshasa’s body.

“Burn to ashes, you monster!”

Mursha and the Phoenix combined their powers, and as the loud cry of the phoenix reverberated across the entire world, her flames encompassed half of the barbarian god's gigantic body, burning him as her axe cleaved through him.

“Become fertilizer for the new life that shall arise from your body!”

Urbosa unleashed an endless thunderstorm with each of her piercing spear attacks, while the white wolf within her spread endless greenery with her blows. The plants unified together and drained the divine power of the god.

“You’ve lived far too long, beast! Wither and die!”

Merkite and the black wolf combined their powers; the black winds of death and decay encompassed the entire body of the barbarian god, making his flesh decay and rot away, falling apart constantly.

“Today the stars are joyful! Our revenge is finally upon us, my children! Let us not waste a single second! This is the beginning of a new era!”

The lion roared mighty, and Typhon roared as well. As the two of them combined their powers, a crimson and azure-colored nebula encompassed him as they rushed towards the barbarian god.

“N-no…! I can’t accept this! DIE, YOU WEAKLINGS!”

The barbarian god was being attacked from every single angle, yet he was unable to even land a single hit against them! All twelve of his giant arms swung their weapons against everyone as he tried to cleave, slash, and pierce through them.

CRAAASH!

Yet the moment his attacks finally reached everyone, suddenly, time was skipped completely as Bing Xue appeared above him, her bare hands suddenly covered by his blood and rocky skin.

BOOOM!

And his arms collapsed into pieces, and his eyes widened, incapable of even believing or understanding what happened.

“{Aeternitas Martial Arts}: {Primordial Divine Sentinel of the Bright Future}”

An immense amount of Time Essence and Yang Essence overflowed from her body as she conjured one of the abilities of her second EX-Ranked Skill.

The power to skip a second into the future, allowing her to completely mitigate all damage dealt to her or a target within that time frame, and skipping into a second after.

At the same time, within the time frame she skipped, she was able to freely move while everything else was on time stop.

That’s why the barbarian god was unable to land a single hit, and once a second was skipped into the future, all of his arms crumbled into pieces.

“T-This is…”

He finally, finally understood.

Bing Xue wasn’t someone he could ever defeat.

She was beyond his own understanding.

As he saw Bing Xue’s piercing rainbow eyes, his entire body was completely destroyed by all the elemental attacks of every member of the group.

All five divine beast spirit gods roared, their divinities covering his entire body, making him collapse into pieces as his powers over Elios continued to grow weaker and weaker.

His true body was finally revealed again—how he looked before transforming and falling from the skies at a rapid speed.

“If it can’t kill you... Then I’ll destroy this world.”

He smiled maniacally as he suddenly summoned a gigantic crimson spear made out of countless demonic monsters and creatures.

“{Demonic Asura Armament Summon}: {Heaven-Defying Demonic Spear: Naraka}!”

TRUUUMMM!!!

Everyone’s eyes widened as they saw the spear, over five kilometers in length, pierce through Elios surface and dig down underground while beginning to spin like a drill!

“He’s aiming for the core!” Mursha panicked.

“Hurry!” Urbosa cried.

“No, we won’t make it!” Merkite said.

“Dammit! That monster!” Peperina roared in frustration.

“GRAAAHHHH!” Typhon was furious.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

As the laughter of the barbarian god echoed across the world of Elios, the entire surface started to tremble, and countless cracks spread out everywhere, creating craters towards the depths of the world’s core.

“I was planning to enjoy the bloodshed a bit longer; what a pity! I’ll have to simply destroy the world, as I always planned anyway.”

“No, I don’t think you will.”

“Huh?”

Bing Xue was right in front of him, holding in her hands the Heavens themselves, fusing them with her radiance into a blinding power that engulfed it all.

“{Primordial Heavenly Empress of Light Arts}: [Heavenly Light Domain]”

FLAAASH!

First, a domain of light encompassed everything.

Suddenly, the world stopped trembling. Bing Xue’s domain did not just trap the god with her or the spear.

It encompassed the entire planet of Elios, which was at least as big as Earth!

“T-This is… a Divine Domain?!”

“I couldn’t quite do this before, but I’ve learned my ways around your Divine Domains…” Bing Xue smiled. “I have to say, it is quite simple to make once you see someone do it.”

“T-This is…!” The barbarian god tried to unleash his domain to counter hers, yet...

“[Primordial Nirvana’s Spear]”

The skies above and the ground below fused into Bing Xue’s hands, creating a rainbow spear made of stone and clouds and blinding lights.

CRAAASH!

And the spear pierced through Rakshasa’s chest, at the same time as his titanic spear, Naraka, crumbled down into countless pieces.

BOOOM!
