Chapter 374-1: Slaying the Wet Nurse, the Gaze Across the Endless Starry Sky (1)
“Ascend to the seat of a true god?”
Lin Xun did not know what realm a true god belonged to, but the current immortal realm was still far from enough against the unimaginably powerful Wet Nurse.
What he had to do was, under Firefly’s delay, keep absorbing malice until he possessed enough power.
[Kim’s body suddenly disappears from where he is…]
[Heaven and earth fall into an utterly oppressive darkness. The darkness is like an existence as ancient and eternal as time itself, a darkness like the deathly stillness of chaos before all things were born.]
[At the center of the endless darkness, a faint point of firefly light suddenly flares to life.]
[The firefly light is as weak as a candle flame in the wind, yet it is enough to dispel the despairing darkness.]
[With the brightening of the firefly light, all things begin.]
[As the firefly light ignites, countless lives are born from the void of chaos, and the darkness no longer exists.]
[They offer up their own faith, and the specks of starlike radiance merge into the firefly light, turning it into the brilliance of sun and moon.][In the blink of an eye, all the visions vanish before your eyes. Only the brilliant, blazing radiance of the sun and moon remains, shrouding the island and completely submerging the figure of the Daughter of Evil.]
[At the same time, a warm radiance rises, isolating you from the battlefield between the main gods. You are unable to sense the situation of the battle, and you will not suffer the fallout from the clash of the two vast, mighty powers.]
[The endless malice still surges into your body without stopping for even a moment…]
[Shell Quality improving…]
[Your Shell, Oathbreaker Flanda, has risen from immortal grade to immortal+ grade.]
[Mastering even greater power makes your confidence soar. You attempt to stretch out the tendrils of your conscious soul to perceive and analyze the battle.]
[Yet you sadly discover that even though you are already this powerful, you are still unable to intervene in the battle between the main gods.]
[Just using the tendrils of consciousness to probe through the isolating radiance causes you to suffer irresistible backlash. The extended tendrils of consciousness are instantly annihilated in the clash of the two mighty powers.]
[You know that you still need to become stronger.]
[You stretch out your arms in a skyward embrace, and the flood of malice gushes into your body even more violently.]
[The Core of Extreme Evil inside you puts down roots and sprouts, becoming your core for absorbing malice, bearing an almost endless power of malice.]
[You cast aside all stray thoughts. Your only conviction is to absorb more malice and become stronger.]
[The pitch-black ocean beneath your feet is the source of malice formed by the melted remains of countless angel warriors and the Wet Nurse’s offspring.]
[The Sea of Cultivation was originally as bright red as plasma. After endless malice merged into it, the seawater turned pitch-black, and now, under your continuous absorption, it is gradually returning to its original bright red color.]
[Finally, a certain shackle that has bound you is completely broken. You touch upon a mighty realm you have never stepped into before.]
[If the immortal realm is a life that is difficult to decay or be worn away, yet still ultimately walks toward death under external interference, then it is a false god.]
[You have already surpassed the immortal realm and become a lifeform that is fixed and everlasting, a true god.]
[Your Shell, Oathbreaker Flanda, has risen from immortal+ grade to Eternal grade.]
[You have ascended to the seat of a true god.]
[At this moment, you can clearly feel that the wills of the two main gods are vast and boundless, supreme existences that surpass even the Eternal stage.]
[Kim’s Painbearer body is weak, and the Daughter of Evil’s flesh is even more frail.]
[Because the bodies they descend into are too feeble, they cannot display their true, supreme might.]
[Firefly, occupying Kim’s demigod body, is able to display strength slightly greater than the Wet Nurse’s, yet his great will is rapidly dissolving.]
[The Wet Nurse, possessing the Daughter of Evil’s body, is weaker in flesh than Firefly. However, the main god’s will and soul are incomparably firm. Although she is at a certain disadvantage in the battle, as long as Firefly cannot truly win, then as time passes and one wanes while the other grows, the Wet Nurse will ultimately attain victory.]
[…]
[Your Shell, Oathbreaker Flanda, has risen from Eternal grade to Eternal+ grade.]
[The ocean beneath your feet has already returned to a bright, bloody red with not a trace of malice remaining.]
[The malice of the Sacred Nest Ninth Layer has been completely absorbed by you, and the Core of Extreme Evil in your body has also reached its critical point.]
[Unless you fall into Extreme Evil and transform into the Lord of Malice, only then can you continue to absorb the malice of the entire Divine Kingdom and surpass the seat of a true god to reach the supreme realm of the main gods.]
[At this time, you have two choices…]
[First, kill the flesh known as the Daughter of Evil, and join with Firefly’s remaining will to annihilate the Wet Nurse’s soul and consciousness.]
[Second, fall into Extreme Evil, absorb more malice, break through to the realm of the main gods, and personally slay the Wet Nurse’s consciousness.]
[How should you choose?]
Lin Xun decisively pressed the first option.
He had come to save the world, not to destroy it.
The Primordial Firefly was using his main god might to seal off the Sacred Nest Ninth Layer, even cutting off the existence of the web of consciousness, leaving the Wet Nurse with nowhere to escape.
Once he killed the Daughter of Evil’s body, he and Firefly would only need to deal with the Wet Nurse’s consciousness.
Moreover, Firefly was currently still possessing Kim’s body. If he continued to absorb malice until Firefly was defeated, then the last teammate, Kim, would also be hard pressed to survive.
[You put away the Scarlet King’s Sword. This semi-divine artifact of former days offers you not the slightest benefit now and would only restrict your divine power.]
[Your gaze pierces through the blocking radiance and looks to the endless brilliance at the center of the Ninth Layer…]
[Kim is gradually flagging in the battle. A battle between main gods is not only a confrontation of flesh, but also a clash of spirit and will.]
[Firefly is no match for the Wet Nurse and is relying on burning his final will to delay for you.]
[You glare viciously at the Daughter of Evil. Under your control, the endless malice condenses into a gigantic pitch-black claw…]
[The five fingers of the gigantic claw are like sky-supporting pillars, enclosing the island. In your palm, the vast island is like a child’s marble.]
[Kim senses something and immediately leaves the range of the island.]
[The Daughter of Evil is just about to act when the gigantic claw suddenly clenches. The entire island is instantly destroyed under the overwhelming might.]
[When the claw loosens its grip, the island has disappeared without a trace. Even the Wet Nurse’s Temple of Flesh and Blood has vanished, without a single speck of dust remaining.]
[You have defeated the Desire Primordial Fire Daughter of Evil.]
[The Wet Nurse’s gentle laughter echoes throughout the Sacred Nest Ninth Layer…]
[Outsider, do you think that by killing you and her child, you can stop her?]
[As long as you have not yet reached the supreme realm, you will never understand how great the main gods truly are.]
[Only a main god can kill a main god…]
[The gentle laughter spreads through the entire Sacred Nest Ninth Layer. You can clearly sense that vast will, yet you can never grasp her, much less kill her or destroy her.]
[Kim appears by your side at some unknown point. Firefly slowly speaks to you through him. Outsider, no… Oath bearer… this is the only, and also the final, chance.]
[A point of firefly light emerges from Kim’s Painbearer vessel, illuminating every corner of the Sacred Nest Ninth Layer.]
[Gathered within that faint light is Firefly’s supreme will.]
[The light illuminates the Sacred Nest, and even the Wet Nurse’s consciousness is forced to take form under the dazzling radiance…]
[An enormous twisted and filthy shadow floats in midair. You are unable to describe its shape. In fact, if you had not attained the realm of a true god, you would not even be able to look directly upon its existence.]
[Just a shallow glance would see you polluted by the filth and distortion within. You would only be able to gouge out your own eyes and howl ceaselessly to vent the boundless madness flooding your soul.]
[The firefly light not only forces the Wet Nurse’s consciousness to reveal itself, it also burns its last remaining strength and blooms with warm radiance.]
[The radiance that warms you causes the twisted shadow to let out a shrill scream.]
[The two vast wills collide and rapidly dissolve one another…]
[You understand with perfect clarity that this is the only chance Firefly has created for you.]
[You must grasp this only, and final, chance.]
[Endless malice surges out of your body and gathers in midair into a gigantic monstrous face…]
[That face laughs in eerie delight, its mouth splitting as it howls with laughter, tearing open upper and lower jaw until it nearly reaches the ears. Its eyes are filled with the purest malice as it fixes its gaze upon the twisted shadow.]
[The voice echoing through the Sacred Nest is no longer gentle. The genderless voice is now full of terror and despair…]
[What power is this?!]
[This power can actually corrode a supreme existence… impossible, impossible.]
[Accompanied by the voice’s piercing scream, the firefly light transforms into the brilliance of sun and moon, bursting forth in blazing light that even gods cannot look upon directly…]
[…]
[The radiance goes out. The monstrous face in midair loses control and once again dissolves into malice, returning to your body.]
[You can clearly feel your own body standing at the brink of death and collapse, a death that even a true god cannot reverse.]
[Firefly’s vast consciousness has completely dissipated, and with it, the Wet Nurse’s consciousness has vanished as well…]
[You let out a long breath and quietly await the arrival of death…]
[Your allied main god, Primordial Firefly, has died.]
[…]
“The Wet Nurse isn’t dead yet?!”
Lin Xun’s pupils suddenly contracted. The Cursed game still did not show any text related to the Wet Nurse’s death, which meant the Wet Nurse’s consciousness had not yet completely perished.
