Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 427 Huge
Zheng Zha's eyes widened at that moment, and his intense gaze even startled Nordens.

"What are you thinking? His generous reward is not the same as the God's reward." Mu Xiang and Zhang Jie chuckled and cursed inwardly, which made Zheng Zha blush.

Well, he did lose his composure... It had been a long time since he'd seen a mission that directly gave him an A-rank side quest, and this was just the basic reward, not even counting the additional kill rewards.

Zheng Zha was unaware that as his cultivation level increased, he was becoming more and more useless... Damn it, do you think it's easy for a fourth-tier high-rated reincarnator like me to get side quests?

Mu Xiang then smiled at Nordens and said, "We won't insist on any generous rewards. We only ask for as much work as possible and as much benefit as possible. We won't take a penny more... But since you hope for our help, it's best for both sides to be open and transparent. The enemy we need to face, the past of this world, the causes of the current situation and the solutions—this is all information we need."

He spoke very bluntly, but Nordens nodded and smiled, "That's true..."

“Well then, let’s start by showing our sincerity.” Mu Xiang looked at the huge water shape on the eastern sea. “Let’s take care of this guy first, so you can assess our strength… I hope you can offer the same level of sincerity.”

The next moment, Mu Xiang stepped onto the ground, causing the mountain peak to tremble, and he broke through the wind, rushing towards the gloomy, dark sky and sea to the east.

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie exchanged a glance, and an invisible telekinetic channel formed, leading directly to the other side. The two of them burst forth like that.

Nordens' voice rang out behind them, not loud, but it reached the ears of the three: "The Eastern Continent has fallen into darkness. Bewitched wandering souls have sacrificed themselves to summon the enemy before you... the Black Water God, Ktayat. Because of the darkness's influence, even I cannot easily destroy it completely, and each time it lives and dies, it erodes the ocean a little more."

Mu Xiang smiled to himself: "This guy knows what I need. I also want to know why a demigod like him can't handle this legendary-level thing."

“Previously, I needed to protect the Holy Land and command Nightshade in battle, so I couldn’t spare any time… If we take it away from the water and kill it, we might be able to stop its resurrection. As for its splitting attack, I will handle that,” Nordens said.

This so-called Blackwater God was indeed enormous. Previously, it had been in the boundless sea to the east, offering no landmarks. Even after trying their best to imagine its immense size, the three were still somewhat speechless upon seeing it in person.

Zheng Zha clicked his tongue and said, "This thing...where are its eyes?"

"Why do we need to look for eyes?" Zhang Jie asked, puzzled.

“Because I wanted to know if my eyes were as big as itss…” Zheng Zha muttered.

Mu Xiang couldn't help but rub his forehead: "That's true... Such a large size, and such strong immortality, it really can't be measured by just saying it's legendary combat power."

As the three were speaking, a massive wave surged up below, its endless white foam directed at them. But the way it rose was unlike the rolling of ordinary waves… it looked more like a person slowly raising their head from below!

"We still can't find the eyes," Zheng Zha said earnestly. Mu Xiang sighed, "When did we bring Zhang Heng in?"

The next moment, Mu Xiang's figure vanished into the air, and a huge black hole suddenly appeared amidst the boundless white foam below. This black hole almost pierced through Ketayate's body, plunging from the sky into the pitch-black sea! The boundless white foam began to collapse, and the collision of water against water produced a mournful roar. The black water formed from the collapsing foam surged into the hole.

Zhang Jie turned to look at Zheng Zha and chuckled, "Now you have eyes, are you satisfied?"

"This is fucking prostitution!" Zheng Zha cursed, and terrifying heat erupted around him. Then, a burst of dark red flames descended from the sky, chasing after Mu Xiang's footsteps and rushing inside.

Zhang Jie chuckled, and an overwhelming surge of telekinetic energy erupted from beneath his feet, transforming into an invisible, colossal wall spanning the sea and sky, blocking the ever-exploding black water from the east. Some of the black water clumps crashed into the wall and were sent flying backward, their pitch-black, ferocious mouths splitting open in mid-air, but they often couldn't even utter a howl before being crushed by the telekinetic energy.

Mu Xiang recognized this thing: the Ancient One, Ktayat. Its true nature was unknown, but it was definitely related to water. This black mass of water was merely its physical form after merging with seawater. If its essence wasn't completely destroyed before it came into contact with water again, all the effort would be in vain.

Didn't Nordens know this?

Mu Xiang was traversing within Ketayate's body. Although it was pitch black, Mu Xiang could still see clearly. The originally normal seawater had been corrupted by some strange energy, resulting in this astonishingly powerful aggregation. Mu Xiang reached out and scooped up the seawater he had smashed, and upon closer inspection, he found that the black color was gone.

Mu Xiang's body no longer felt any resistance to the seawater.

"I'll attack its water-based aggregates, you deal with it with energy," Mu Xiang said in his mind. Then he looked up and saw dark red flames erupting in the passage above. The seawater, which had been trying to mend its course, trembled and avoided it as if it had seen a ghost. But in the process, the dark red flames forced the seawater to shed its black color and then evaporate it directly.

Mu Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and he threw a punch to the side. A ball of humanoid black water, not yet fully formed, was blasted into dust by him. This was his perception within the realm of metaphysics; even without activating the gene lock, it could take effect directly. With a slight movement of his fist, golden ripples covered the punch.

[Tsk... this feeling is still not obvious enough.]

Mu Xiang said to himself, "Zheng Zha, could you please keep an eye on it? After using the Red Flame to dispel that energy, I need you to keep an eye on where it goes."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Mu Xiang nodded and then continued downwards.

Several humanoid figures formed from black water suddenly appeared around Mu Xiang. As soon as their upper bodies became clear, they lunged at him. Mu Xiang didn't even look at them. He stomped down, and another huge hole appeared beneath him, as if it were always meant to be there. Before this immense force, powerful enough to pierce through Ktayat, these humanoid figures formed from black water could only collapse.

When Mu Xiang reached the seabed and estimated the true height of the Ktayate, he was speechless again. So the enormous body he had just seen was only a small part of it… He shook his head helplessly, unlocked his gene lock to the third stage, and then twisted his left and right hands together.
