Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 477 Entangled Together
In Zhang Jie's mental power, the Spear of Judgment was already rushing towards a certain point, almost disappearing from his detection range. Although this abyssal world had no concept of up, down, left, or right, and they all stood and walked in mid-air, Zhang Jie knew that point was "up".

As his spiritual power continued to extend upwards, an inexplicable sense of crisis forced him to stop. Clearly, it was because of that unknown, terrifying being… Zhang Jie had a premonition that if he continued to probe, he might face an end even more tragic than death.

Zhang Jie's power has been almost completely depleted. For quite some time, he will likely have little strength left to participate in combat, except for maintaining his spiritual existence. He has already lifted his mental suppression of Zheng Zha, and now his mental energy can only be used to monitor the landing point of the Spear of Judgment and maintain Mu Xiang's mental state.

The artificial body has also been removed. Although the Death God bloodline provided by the main god has been improved and does not completely rely on spiritual particles that do not exist in most planes, the artificial body will still reduce Zhang Jie's recovery speed.

"I'll have to wait a while before I can join the battle... All I can do right now is retract the Spear of Judgment," Zhang Jie thought to himself.

Zheng Zha did not respond, but Mu Xiang replied, "Hmm... but the outcome should be decided by then."

The next moment, Mu Xiang moved first. Ji Yue rose from the golden light behind him, as if the moon were emerging from a golden sea, enveloped in an even more dazzling radiance. Mu Xiang reached out and gripped his sword, slashing at the wound that had almost torn Muroshi apart.

The previous standoff was to give themselves time to find weaknesses... not to give Mroshi a chance. Such injuries are severe even for a spirit tablet, but they don't mean they're incurable. If Mroshi were to recover, they would be the ones to die.

The void surged, for the void of this abyss world was unlike any other space. It possessed the attributes of space, as well as tainted information and chaotic energy, and when wielded by Muroshi, it was incredibly powerful, having previously caused great trouble for the three. However, this surge was directly cleaved open by Mu Xiang's blade, annihilating that area of ​​space and taint along with it.

Murroshi raised an eyebrow, but this was just a feint. His entire body blurred, and his wings trembled rapidly, as if he were about to disappear at any moment. He wasn't fleeing in any particular direction; he was trying to leave the entire space.

One by one, Zheng Zha charged forward, only to crumble inch by inch as they continued their charge, ultimately transforming into raging black flames. The churning space was forcibly shattered, and Muroshi's face hardened as he grabbed one of the Zheng Zha by the neck and flung him toward Mu Xiang's blade.

Before Zheng Zha could even self-destruct, Mu Xiang cleaved him in two with a single strike, and he silently plummeted into the void below.

The Zheng Zha either self-destructed into black flames or were struck by tridents and claws, annihilated with the residual high temperature... In this chaotic heat wave and surging evil thoughts, energy and figures overlapping, a Zheng Zha appeared expressionlessly behind Muroshi, raising his blood-red greatsword high and slashing angrily at him.

Mroshi swept away the surrounding distractions, but the void he stirred up, meant to act as a barrier, was shattered under the clear moonlight. With longswords in front and greatswords behind, he was once again surrounded.

With a long howl, blood gushed out again from his still-healing chest and abdomen, and a terrifying yet sacred phantom appeared behind Muroshi.

Muroch made his move, his two claws, shrouded in azure, forcefully clamping down on Ji Yue, preventing Mu Xiang from penetrating even an inch further. Meanwhile, the phantom behind him sent Zheng Zha flying backward, black flames spitting from his mouth, the greatsword in his hand trembling uncontrollably. Mu Xiang frowned, unleashing the sword intent of Yunhan Guixu, causing space and energy to compress towards Muroch.

"You dare to sacrifice your life force like drinking poison to quench your thirst, but I don't need to get entangled with you." Muroshi sneered, "Before you destroy my physical body, I can kill your companions ten or eight times over, do you believe it?"

[His physical body has crumbled... It's still impossible to determine his relationship with Nyarlathotep. But since he's connected to the Abyss, he shouldn't be inferior to Nyarlathotep; the former has a real foundation, the latter is an act.]

The main god's mandate is to end the War of the Dream Realm. Now that the truth has been uncovered, it seems that as long as he is killed, the mission will be completed... But what about Nyarlathotep's true form? If ignored, the loss might be more than just an A-rank side quest.

Just as Mu Xiang was pondering, a twisted form swooped down from above him: a swollen bat, a living darkness, and a girl with a bulky body leaning against him, instantly engulfing Mu Xiang.

Murroshi chuckled softly, the phantom that had previously amplified him suddenly contracted, while his hands seemed to expand endlessly, tearing the void apart with a mere movement. His claws moved up and down, closing in on Zheng Zha.

Zheng Zha seemed to sense an immense threat. He let out a low roar and forcibly steadied the giant sword in his hand. Immediately, a roaring black fire dragon emerged, its long body coiling around him for protection, while its massive maw, filled with black flames, charged towards Muroshi.

"A mere trick!" Murroshi laughed wildly, forcefully closing his claws together, annihilating the black dragon. The black flames that tried to touch his claws were wiped away by the ghostly blue light.

Murroshi continued his movements, clasping his hands together in front of Zheng Zha, one above the other, as if heaven and earth were merging. However, his heart skipped a beat. This black flame was not as simple as energy. If it were Nordens, he would probably have had a hard time dealing with it. The reason he was able to wipe away the black flame was more due to the overwhelming power of his own body.

Zheng Zha's figure, still shrouded in the remaining black flames, was forcefully crushed by hands that seemed to merge heaven and earth, dissipating into the void. Above Muroshi's head, chaotic and distorted forms continued to emerge, rushing towards another chaotic battlefield. Darkness, like blood, permeated the air, and torn pieces of chaos were thrown from the fray, but these avatars of Nyarlathotep ultimately managed to hold back Mu Xiang.

In a one-on-one fight, these avatars naturally couldn't defeat Mu Xiang; but if they swarmed together, even though most of them lacked rationality and coordination, Mu Xiang couldn't kill them all instantly.

What Muroshi needed to do was eliminate Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie… He could naturally see that these two were no longer capable of unleashing their previous terrifying attacks. Once they were dealt with, Muroshi would only need to conceal his tracks and then kill Mu Xiang. This wasn't because he feared Mu Xiang, but because he needed to maintain a good condition.

Otherwise... there will be great terror when we return to our divine remains.
