Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 98 - Encirclement by Friendly Forces

Everything happened without warning.

But it was not unexpected.

When Yu Zhiwei's flesh and blood suddenly exploded, her delicate and beautiful body could no longer contain her terrifying inner self, Si Ming felt as if a huge stone had been silently lifted from his heart.

I knew it!

I knew this guy was bound to explode sooner or later!

My emotions are churning.

His words and actions showed no tension.

He first clenched his fist tightly, and the boiling flames melted the werewolves of the West Sea team. Then, he swung his spiral staff fiercely towards the West Sea team, and as the flames surged, a series of commands were issued through the team's communication system.

"Ranger, increase altitude and prepare the shrapnel cannons for emergencies. Immediately establish communications control to ensure that everything happening here remains unknown to the local forces."

"Bishop, prepare purification spells... no, set up a barrier to ensure the contamination does not spread outwards."

“Singer, keep your distance from travelers. Your form of existence is rather unique, and you are more likely to be corrupted.”

"Swordsmen and cultivators, launch an attack on the remaining members of the West Sea Team. Then retreat towards the boundary of the barrier. If anything tries to break through, deal with it."

"Everyone, act now—traveler, can you still hear me?"

The colossal tree of flesh and blood burst forth, and the humidity in the air suddenly increased dramatically. Thick blood appeared out of thin air, and the countless corpses in the ruins of the dragon's nest began to liquefy. However, at the same moment this terrifying wave surged, the Celestials, who should have been thrown into chaos, were restored to order by his will.

The thousand-year-old falcon suddenly soared, and pure light descended from the sky. Vast swathes of land were thus stained with a pure color, while the evil, dark aura that had settled deep within the earth collapsed and dissipated.

The Holy Abode Technique, enhanced with super-magical skills, increases its power and effectiveness. Its primary function is to prevent this newly grown flesh and blood tree from transferring its influence underground.

This strategy worked.

The suddenly bursting flesh and blood roots were hindered the moment they seeped into the earth. A terrifying shrill sonic wave erupted from this surging flesh and blood. However, the powerful, pitch-black sonic wave was blocked by lightning the instant it struck the reincarnators!
The mental barrier, a spell Jacob cast on his companions to prevent mental interference, had proven ineffective against Yu Zhiwei. However, it had now successfully halted the out-of-control power erupting from her!
'AYEEEEEEEE——！！！'

It was an exceptionally piercing shriek. In the area touched by that shriek, blood gushed from the air and pus spewed from the soil. Organic entities with insufficient defenses would suffer irreversible physical mutation upon contact. Yet at this moment, only Si Ming remained within its range of influence!

Ineffective. The materialized black sound waves only served to activate the Night Demon Armor's protective effect. The moment this creature appeared, Huang Long and Duo Tou Si were reassigned by Si Ming. Duo Tou Si was returned to the summoning space, while Huang Long transferred all of Si Ming's companions on the ground battlefield to other directions.

"I've landed, what the hell is going on?"

"—Has something happened to the traveler? The power of the West Sea Team's psychic?"

"What...what should I do?"

The voices of their companions came through the communicator. After instinctively following orders to pursue the Western Sea, Luo Yinglong and Song Tian immediately moved to their posts assigned to them by Si Ming. Only Almaria seemed a little slow to react, but her question was irrelevant at this moment.

Because that giant tree of flesh and blood had grown to nearly a hundred meters in an instant.

Because Yu Zhiwei did not respond to Si Ming's question.

Thick branches drooped down, revealing themselves to be long, fleshy whips stretching hundreds of meters. They lashed out at Siming, the only creature within their range, and in the instant of the swing, countless mouthparts and compound eyes sprouted from the branches. They spewed forth highly corrosive venomous mist and emitted intensely hot bio-lasers!
The raging fire transformed into a barrier.

Huanglong, who had performed the transfer function, was quickly retrieved by Si Ming. His previously half-full Night Battle Qi was now fully restored. He ignored the poisonous fog and resisted the laser. His spiral staff instantly transformed into a sword, which he swung fiercely at the oncoming whip of flesh and blood.

'Peng——'

The black and white fire cleaved the earth and sky. The scorching marks stretched hundreds of meters across the sky, easily severing the enormous whip of flesh and blood, and then viciously chiseling at the massive tree of flesh and blood that formed its core!
The fire attack was effective.

The giant tree convulsed violently, and its outer structure rapidly evolved. A tough carapace instantly formed and covered the tree. And the once lush canopy at the top transformed into a colossal flower of flesh and bone, about to bloom!
The tree was transformed into a tower.

Beneath the tough carapace, hundreds of new eyeballs were rapidly forming. The humidity in the atmosphere continued to rise, and even with the Holy Abode spell as a suppressive measure, a rapidly thickening layer of deep red blood mist drastically reduced visibility around the tower.

"Ranger, fire!"

"Bishop, use the Restoration spell."

The light descended once more. The Shattering Cannon was considerably faster.

The bud of bone and flesh, accumulating and brewing something ominous, suddenly burst open. The ominous power contained within transformed into a jet-black tide that splashed out in all directions. Its effects were unknown, and its size was uncertain. However, Si Ming, clad in the Night Demon Armor, abruptly raised his body. For at the same instant, a massive gravitational field rapidly manifested along with the hundreds of eyes beneath the armor!

It tried to bind Simin—but it failed. The radiance of the Advanced Restoration spell fell upon the splashing black tide. And the next moment, hundreds or even thousands of blood-red corpses suddenly emerged from the pitch-black pus, disintegrating, collapsing, and emitting sharp screams.

"The restoration technique is effective, increase the dosage. Reduce other interfering stimuli, keep your distance, and I'll hold her back."

Si Ming's voice remained calm, as if the matter had been insignificant from the beginning. Loud explosions echoed from the border of the Holy Abode. There, Luo Yinglong and Song Tian, ​​who had been transferred to the surrounding area, were locked in a fierce battle against the mountain of black corpses struggling to awaken from the blood mist.

They weren't particularly formidable enemies to them, yet their numbers reached double digits. Thousands of indistinct, pale faces graced the dark mountain of corpses. More than fighting the Reincarnators, they longed to flee towards the outer regions, to escape.

The sound of a guitar began to play.

Unable to find her place, Almalia finally realized she possessed a vital treasure called 'subjective initiative.' The third string, 'Dance of the Yellow,' aimed at the weak, stirred up waves in the air. The laughter of the corpse mountain was immediately suppressed, and the seemingly clumsy but actually swift behemoths were hindered in their progress by the interference of the string's sound.

"Hey, what happened?!"

Valentina's dazed, blank mind finally restarted and connected to the internet after subconsciously responding to several of Siming's commands. She glanced uneasily at the tower of flesh and bones that had been hit by a Shattering Cannon shot through the screen, but the next moment, she let out a soft scream because of the burns to her eyeballs.

"It's nothing serious." Si Ming remained calm. While maneuvering at high speed, he extended his hand towards the tower in front of him to cast a spell. The howling blood corpse that fell from the black slime was instantly refined by his necromantic aura in mid-air. And the moment it landed, it had already condensed into one blood-red skeletal golem after another.

Evil explosion.

The moment they landed, or gained the ability to move, they pounced on the enormous tower that was so close at hand. Without making any unnecessary movements or fancy gestures, they simply rushed to the top of the tower at top speed and detonated their bodies upon impact!

The sounds of destruction were incessant.

The entire tower of flesh and bones began to shake!
Si Ming's judgment and explanation echoed continuously in the team communication. From beginning to end, he used his rationality and composure to suppress the impending catastrophe.

"The psychic from the West Sea team pulled some tricks, and he has already paid a heavy price for them. But the effect of these tricks is limited because he chose the wrong target."

Shifting, moving in an instant. The shaky tower suddenly tilted to the side. Hundreds, even thousands, of tentacles surged forth, trying to break free, but were bound by some unknown force, converging and transforming into the shape of a colossal celestial structure!
That's... what the Tear of the Horizon looks like! The enormous hull is taking shape and struggling amidst the constantly twisting flesh!

Yu Zhiwei was right there.

Yu Zhiwei never stopped resisting.

From beginning to end, Si Ming firmly believed that this guy couldn't possibly be killed by the weakened and wounded Julian with a single, fatal blow. This bastard, whose body was piled high with wheelchairs, could practically open a top-tier hospital. As long as he didn't choose to give up, she wouldn't face an easy death!

She won't die; she'll handle things.

Therefore, what Si Ming needed to do most was not to rashly participate in her self-rescue plan, but rather to ensure that the workspace she used to solve the problem was quiet and spacious enough!
"You've been dawdling for a while, haven't you? Perhaps..." The next moment, the radiance of a higher restoration spell descended rapidly upon the unstable flesh-and-blood behemoth. The Firelink Greatsword swung again, severing all the out-of-control tentacles attempting to interfere with Jacob's divine magic!

"You're actually hoping someone will come to help?"

What one thinks in one's heart is not the same as what one says.

The pure light of the restoration spell hits the target precisely.

The shattered tower withered abruptly. The colossal structure of flesh and blood collapsed inward. In an instant, Yu Zhiwei's humanoid silhouette was regenerated. However, its size was a size larger than Yu Zhiwei's usual form.

It struggled to get out of the wreckage of the megastructure.

A grateful and proud smile spread across its face.

A familiar sound rang out, flowing freely through the thick fog.

"Thanks, I almost got killed by this guy..."

So--

'Puff--'

The sonic boom caused by the rapid advance was generated far behind Si Ming.

The flesh and blood structure bearing Yu Zhiwei's features let out a sharp scream the moment it was pierced.

Embers, liberation.

"I'm still more used to the way you're afraid of making a fool of yourself, and you're so stubborn."
