Chapter 302 27: Living Catastrophe (3/3)
Is the current Tian Wu strong?
On this point, any of the Hundred Lands Gods who rushed to the battlefield to confront it would unhesitatingly say, yes.
However, this strength is only relative to ordinary Gods, not even touching the realm of a Celestial God.
But the paradox is that the current Tian Wu is indeed a Celestial God in terms of status.
——Dispersing and gathering without form, embodying a Celestial Disaster.
These are the most typical traits of a Celestial God and the fundamental reason why Tian Wu can appear simultaneously in eight tributaries.
"A forcibly glued 'freak'?"
Prompted by Li Boyang, Xiluo quickly noticed Tian Wu's abnormality.
Although possessing a Celestial God level status, Tian Wu's behaviors are not even comparable to ordinary wild beasts.
Abrupt appearances and reckless destruction...
Tian Wu acts entirely on instinct, attacking only creatures nearby with hostility.
For the rest of the time, it pollutes water veins and incites floods, much like a true Celestial Disaster with no self-awareness.
"What on earth is going on?"
Faced with Xiluo's question, Li Boyang gave an unexpected but reasonable answer.
"The current Tian Wu is not just Tian Wu, but a collective entity of a large number of Sea Gods."
"It probably never imagined that the South Sea God it chose to ally with would eventually use it as material to create a monster."
Eight heads, eight tails, eight legs, this is evidence of the remains of eight Sea Gods unified.
In contrast, Tian Wu may have just practiced some Perception Technique and thus became the last survivor of this brutal nurturing process.
Even so, it has lost its self, merely acting on instinct.
Whenever the Night Wanderers find a hard-to-conquer location, they send Tian Wu there.
With its power far surpassing that of ordinary Gods, it repeatedly pushes the Hundred Lands Gods into retreat, unable to fight back.
"Although Tian Wu has become a monster, its power is genuine."
Watching Tian Wu demonstrate its might in the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Xiluo licked her paws slightly restlessly.
"Shall I stop it? It wouldn't be difficult for me to defeat it!"
Xiluo wasn't boasting.
Since her Primordial Spirit manifested, she has had no weaknesses.
Dealing with a Celestial God who has completely lost reason, and who exposes the weakness of "attacking only targets with hostility."
For Xiluo, resolving the opponent may not be effortless but carries no pressure.
"Didn't I tell you before? This is just bait."
Rolling his eyes slightly helplessly, Li Boyang knew this silly cat didn't like to think.
"Think about it, why did the South Sea God release Tian Wu?"
"What's their purpose? Who's their true target?"
Blinking, Xiluo asked blankly in return.
"Who's their target?"
This time Xiluo wasn't truly being naive, but she indeed couldn't figure out the South Sea God's purpose.
As the battle dragged on, the South Sea God had never revealed themselves, instead delegating its duties to sixteen Night Wanderers.
The opportunistic South Sea Gods need not even be mentioned.
They are merely taking advantage of the situation, backing away at the slightest resistance.
This is the first time the South Sea God has acted so proactively, naturally leaving Xiluo puzzled about their purpose.
"Their purpose is obviously to draw our attention..."
"Ideally drawing away strong combat units like you."
Given the situation, Li Boyang had to once more abandon the idea of getting Xiluo to think, directly sharing his deduction.
"Meanwhile, they take the opportunity to cut off our support actions, letting the Sea Tides completely engulf the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."
"Red Fish, in charge of coordinating the entire operation, is likely their target this time."
...........................
As predicted by Li Boyang, not long after Tian Wu appeared.
Ghost Child and Faceless took advantage of the chaos to move upstream.
Following the trail of a Human-faced Fish, they attempted to find the hidden Red Fish.
Through long observation, Ghost Child noticed that the Human-faced Fish migrate periodically.
It was now the time for this Human-faced Fish to swim back.
Just by following it, they would surely find the resting place of these Human-faced Fish, and there must also be their God.
As for why Ghost Child and Faceless were able to so easily evade the scouts along the way?
This owed to Faceless's special ability—Thousand Transformations.
Each of the sixteen Night Wanderers possesses unique abilities granted to them at birth.
Faceless's ability was somewhat similar to Er Tu's Thousand Transformations Divine Power, yet not exactly the same.
Firstly, the similarity in transformation.
The Thousand Transformations Divine Power, developed by Li Boyang, had long discarded its initial limitations, allowing Er Tu to transform freely into any creature.
Regardless of whether he had seen the creature or not, it wouldn't affect Er Tu's transformation.
Conversely, Faceless's ability requires a fixed template, unable to change at will.
Correspondingly, the transformation of Faceless is almost flawless, even to the extent of acquiring some abilities and memories of the transformed subject.
These abilities and memories, including Magical Divine Power, are something Er Tu at this stage absolutely couldn't achieve.
Secondly, the versatility of this transformation.
Er Tu can only change himself, whereas Faceless can change the sixteen Night Wanderers along with himself.
No learning threshold is required; as long as Faceless desires, he can even turn Ghost Child into a Human-faced Fish.
For instance, right now, they navigated the currents like ordinary Human-faced Fish.
Even if Red Fish saw them now, they couldn't distinguish them from normal Human-faced Fish.
Gurgle gurgle…
As Ghost Child and Faceless mimicked the movements of other Human-faced Fish, surfacing joyfully to blow bubbles,
The originally calm water suddenly rippled gently.
This ripple appeared out of thin air, rapidly expanding at a speed difficult to perceive by the naked eye.
This is a warning method of the Human-faced Fish, and Ghost Child and Faceless naturally received the signal.
But before they could realize what this signal meant,
The nearby Human-faced Fish had already dived into the water with lightning speed.
The Human-faced Fish did not discover the disguise of Ghost Child and Faceless; they simply chose to trust this signal unequivocally.
Because only a true Human-faced Fish knows that this signal comes from the Great Fate Master.
And this is precisely the information that no matter how well disguised, Ghost Child and Faceless could never obtain.
