Chapter 559 40: Interception
"Aaaaa——"The Demon Dragon opened its bloodthirsty mouth, once again letting out that strange monotone cry. In an instant, something blurred for a moment, as if the data in a game was re-verified and re-downloaded, refreshing the screen, correcting previous texture and modeling errors to display normally.
The lie was exposed, and the truth naturally emerged, bringing everything back on track.
The elongated space and distance returned to normal, and the height of the rock face returned to the standard of two thousand meters. The reality was that the Demon Dragon had, in a short time, arduously climbed nearly a thousand meters, almost completing half the journey up the rock face. Given a little more time, it could burst directly through the surface!
However, being delayed in this way, the Demon Dragon was slightly held back. Instantly, countless Rahmu puppets, like swarms of ants, crazily surged along the rock face, fearlessly biting and clinging densely onto the massive dragon body...
emmmmm, they were already dead, a mass of reanimated corpses moving under control.
Because they were no longer living beings, only puppets controlled by the evil energy of the Demon Sword—any life slain by the Cloudy Fang, the Hell's Fang, would be cursed by the Demon Sword and turned into a marching army of the dead.
Although the Rahmus were powerful, with ability values of ordinary individuals approaching the weaker Phantom Spirit System Servants, to the Mother of Origin, they were not even as significant as ants, especially now when they were just corpses, naturally rendering them even more useless...
No matter how they tore or bit, how they brandished those sharp appendages, they couldn't actually breach the outer defense of the dragon's body. However, relying somewhat on their massive numbers and combined weight, they slightly slowed the Demon Dragon's movements, allowing that bright moon to arrive in time.
In the vast moonlight, an Immortal Body transformed—
like moonlight condensed into a human form.
Stepping down, he unleashed a palm strike. With the full operation of the Qi Body inside him, even a vast resonance occurred with the external Primordial Qi, causing even the atmosphere to explode with a deafening roar, the Divine Power surging mightily!
The air tore with a deafening thunderous roar, tormenting the hearing of those miles away!
In the simulated tactile feedback from the Primordial Qi, Gu Mo even felt a metallic clash sensation, like the force of his palm strike collided into a solid rock. The Demon Dragon, over sixty meters long, was struck forcibly downward, sliding back a significant distance!
Fiery sparks exploded violently.
An ear-piercing sound, akin to sharp nails scraping a glass, was heard as razor-sharp claws gouged long, deep marks into the solid rock face.
Even the Rahmu puppets hanging on the dragon's body were shaken off more than half, crashing heavily onto the Netherworld ground below.
Falling from over a thousand meters high, even with the resilience of the Rahmus' bodies, crafted from Divine Mud as Enkidu's mass-produced model, they were instantly smashed into piles of unrecognizable meat sauce.
"Aaaaaa——"
Letting out such a cry again, the Demon Dragon, embodiment of Tiamat, stabilized its falling form, deeply inserting its sharp dragon claws into the solid rock face, as easily as a knife into tofu.
Still, it didn't counterattack, but continued swiftly climbing upward, trying to return to the surface.
"...Mother holds a different viewpoint from us. From her perspective, humans and the land are both one Life... She must be instinctively locking onto Uruk, the heart of this land..."
In the far distance behind, Ishtar shouted loudly.
Even though several thousand meters away, Gu Mo's sensory perception was beyond human level, and he heard it clearly. Even without enveloping with Spiritual Power, he could capture most of the commotion behind... His expression was unchanged, knowing this long ago.
In his pupils, a light flickered. When attempting to repeat his previous trick, he found the Power of Lies struggling to recreate the prior manipulation.
In the blink of an eye, the Authority's power had been activated multiple times, yet it couldn't warp that reality again.
The rock face's height remained unchanged, the Demon Dragon continuously climbing upwards at great speed, with its massive and solemn vertical pupils locking onto the surface, staring closely at the increasingly nearing pit exit, reflected in its gigantic eyes were the stars of the Age of Gods' night sky.
Indeed...
The Tiamat God seemed devoid of reason, but its highly elevated life essence allowed her, even by instinct, to perform myriad miraculous deeds, such as easily discerning the truth. Just recently a lie was exposed in front of her, and now attempting to deceive her with the same lie again... would be impossible.
Unfazed, Gu Mo directly waved his sleeve, sending a ball of Primordial Qi to the rock face above the Demon Dragon.
As soon as the Qi Body touched the rock face, it spread instantly, as if fierce flames were burning the entire rock face, melting the solid stone into lava flowing down... But in reality, there was no high-temperature radiation, no shocking heat, and no visible firelight.
The incredibly solid rock wall suddenly melted, turning vast areas of stone into liquid mud, sliding down with a rustling sound, large chunks peeling away.
Turning stone into mud!
There is a similar earth-altering Transformation Technique among Immortal Techniques, so he was naturally familiar with it.
And this condition was certainly unable to bear the massive body and enormous weight of the Demon Dragon. This giant creature struggled yet still slipped downward... The Mother Goddess as the foundation, Tiamat, was actually very difficult to approach the heavens, so she too was bound by the earth.
Gu Mo tentatively raised his hand, swinging the black Demon Sword in his grasp.
The black sword light fell like a long rainbow, striking the head of the Demon Dragon, emitting a sound like clashing metal.
Just at this moment, Gu Mo heard a sharp screeching sound, glancing aside, several flying Rahmu were charging at him; their size as large as giant elephants, their speed extremely swift, and the magic power radiating from them was astonishing.
These were individuals among the eleven specialized Rahmu created by the Tiamat God earlier. They split into two parts: one continued entangling over there, while the other made a U-turn to escort their creator, the Tiamat God.
These eleven specialized Rahmu were obviously stronger than the regular and flying types. The latter two only had ability values close to that of Servants, while this model had already directly surpassed the typical ability values of Servants... But naturally, the Demon Beasts created in such a short period couldn't reach the legendary level of the eleven Demon Beasts.
Which in myths could directly confront the Mesopotamian Gods, meaning they at least possessed power close to the Main God Level.
And now the eleven temporarily created specialized Rahmu perhaps used some templates of the original eleven Demon Beasts. Their magic power had reached the standard of Divine Spirits, but certainly, the lowest standard it was... There's still quite a bit of water added...
Otherwise, if there were truly eleven Divine Spirit Level enemies, then there was entirely no need to fight.
Even if the Skeleton Knight without abandoning its Crowned Spirit Base joined the team, it would be a drop in the ocean, incapable of stopping such a brutal lineup.
Gu Mo intended to press on relentlessly, chasing and suppressing the dragon body of the Tiamat God, forcing it entirely back into the earth of the Netherworld, but he was naturally blocked by several specialized Rahmu. He directly swung a chilling sword light, slashing at one of them, while stepping sideways in the air to avoid a collision from another Rahmu, and simultaneously turned back, delivering a palm.
A deafening boom!
Over there, the rock wall that melted due to the technique of turning stone into mud showed a giant handprint, at least several meters deep, where a specialized Rahmu was deeply wedged, struggling and twitching, while the melting rock slurry continued to flow down...
The entire palm print sunken into the rock wall also kept deforming and closing, seemingly wanting to rewrap due to the melting mud slurry.
He naturally wouldn't know the Tathagata Divine Palm, but whether it was Immortal means or Divine Authority, it was now already in his grasp, so there's no reason he couldn't reach the level of street brawling martial artists. Now, if that Kung Fu instance appeared, it would just be a leisure difficulty for him.
——Not even qualified as simple difficulty.
After pinning an enemy into the mountain rock with one palm, Gu Mo casually pointed, reversed the just-used earth-forming Transformation Technique, turned mud back into stone, directly burying the unfortunate Rahmu alive within the rock.
But at the same time, two more Rahmu howled and charged, waving their sharp appendages and appeared instantly in front of him at a speed that humans could not possibly react to; the sound of sonic booms only leisurely resounded behind them afterward——
In an instant, they passed each other.
Blood spattered, and the sharp appendages of a Rahmu, slicing iron like mud, directly split Gu Mo in two, and another followed up by slicing the remnants at the waist!!
"Chirp chirp chirp——!!"
The two Rahmu who successfully claimed the head let out excited cries, as if laughing maniacally, only the next moment, a black sword light flashed like lightning, as if it burst out from nothingness, with a terrifying recoil akin to a rocket launching, slashing at the two alien demons in an instant.
The chirping sound became more frantic.
A Rahmu that was slightly further away desperately dodged the sword light, but the other was too late, could only release a massive amount of magic power to resist, but it was meaningless as the edge of the Demon Sword sliced the magic barrier into pieces, cutting off its grotesque head without losing momentum.
The other Rahmu narrowly flew out of the attack range. It turned back angrily, letting out a chaotic screech, but as its mouth, filled with a mass of human-like teeth, just opened, an arrow wrapped in enormous Spiritual Power, radiating holy light, precisely pierced its throat!
The immense force sent the gigantic beast flying backward, directly nailing it to another solid rock face where the Spiritual Power erupted, and exploded the head of this demon beast into fragments.
With a flick, a tiny spark was sent flying, burning the head of the fallen Rahmu into ash, while Gu Mo turned back for a glance.
And at the same time, on the other side, the illusion of him being intercepted and dismembered had just slowly dissipated.
