Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 697 The Great Old Ones Descend!! (Part 1)

Within the ethereal green vision of the Dark Shimmer Hermit, the slowly opening, kilometer-diameter colossal eye of chaos seemed to gaze upon the abyss of the universe itself. The absurdity of the spatial scale and the absolute crushing of life levels brought about by the vast, boundless earth below, pulsating with dark red veins—no, it was part of the body of the evil god—could drive anyone who witnessed this scene into madness.

Is this... the slumbering lord of the deep sea...?

Tang Zijun had imagined the form of Xiu—perhaps a twisted behemoth, perhaps an aggregated mountain of flesh, perhaps a floating giant eye—but she never imagined that she had already stepped onto its back without realizing it. Its body was not a biological form in the traditional sense, but a polluted living hell, a writhing, blasphemous thing made of rotten flesh, ancient rocks, and cosmic dust. Its very existence was a mockery of the concept of "form."

Om-!

As the Eye of Chaos fully opened, a more tangible and irresistible terrifying change instantly swept across the entire Abyss Sea.

The seawater was no longer a viscous, dark red liquid, but had suddenly become like solidified, flowing asphalt, its viscosity increased a thousandfold. It was also mixed with countless tiny, shimmering black crystalline particles, like billions of miniature...

Eyes filled with malice.

Tang Zijun felt as if she weren't in water, but rather being poured into solidifying, filthy concrete. Movement became more difficult than ever before, and the earth elemental shield of her Darkshield form emitted a piercing wail, as if it would be crushed at any moment.

assimilation.

The pressure is no longer simply water pressure, but a crushing feeling that comes from all directions, as if the gravity of the entire planet is concentrated here, carrying a malicious intent.

Even more terrifying were those deep-diving beings. Under the influence of the evil god's will, their murky fish eyes instantly locked onto Tang Zijun, the intruder. Their prayer posture shattered instantly, replaced by an extreme fanaticism and a self-sacrificing ultimate madness.

"Gurgle... hiss!!"

Countless Deep Ones, as if ignited by an invisible flame, did not attack Tang Zijun. Instead, they emitted shrieks of incomprehensible meaning, yet filled with extreme pain. Beneath their slippery scales, dark red veins bulged violently as if being charged, followed by a series of "poof! poof! poof! poof!"

It was like millions of tiny flesh bombs being detonated simultaneously!

As far as the eye could see, countless Deepdivers exploded without warning and in perfect unison!

Fireworks without flames, only flesh and blood.

Dark green scales, grayish-brown bits of flesh, pale bone fragments, and viscous, foul blood... mixed with newly formed black crystals from the filthy seawater... instantly splashed and spread across the asphalt-like sea, forming a boundless sea of ​​living blood mist, exuding an intensely nauseating aura of death and blasphemous energy.

This is not an attack, but a sacrifice!

Billions of deep-sea divers, through their final and most thorough self-destruction, transformed their flesh and blood and filthy souls into the purest nourishment, which was then injected into this domain dominated by the will of the evil god. They were using their own demise to crown their god, causing the pollution concentration and the power of the evil god in this sea area to instantly rise to a despairing peak.

boom-!!!

A pure, chaotic spiritual shock, devoid of any logic or emotion, filled only with endless coldness and a devouring desire, crashed into Tang Zijun's sea of ​​consciousness like a chaotic storm at the beginning of the universe.

This is not communication, not language, not any information that can be understood.

"Damn it!" Tang Zijun felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer. The eerie green light of his Dark Shine Hermit form dimmed to its extreme, and his face under the mask instantly lost all color. He felt as if his spiritual core had been thrown into a chaotic millstone full of sharp teeth that was spinning wildly. Memory, emotion, reason... everything that constituted the existence of "Tang Zijun" was being frantically torn apart, crushed, and tried to turn into nothingness.

Unable to communicate!

I don't understand!

This guy is about to truly break the seal and enter the dream world!

Just as consciousness was about to be completely torn apart and assimilated... Tang Zijun's eyes, bloodshot from pain and shock, suddenly opened beneath his wolf-head helmet.

A low, hoarse laugh, seemingly squeezed from the deepest part of the soul, barely audible echoed in the frozen seawater.

Tang Zijun's clenched fists trembled slightly from the force, and her knuckles groaned as if they were about to break.

He struggled to raise his head, little by little, ignoring the immense pressure that could crush mountains, the chaotic storm that was tearing at his will, and the blasphemous blood mist that filled his vision, composed of the flesh and blood of billions of Deep Ones.

His gaze, icy cold yet burning with an invisible flame, was fixed on the giant eye that represented chaos.

"That's fine..."

Tang Zijun's voice was cold and calm.

"...to save...time for unnecessary details..."

The moment the words fell.

Tang Zijun's left hand suddenly reached into the card box at her waist.

He drew the card without hesitation; it radiated a warm, steadfast, golden light like a pillar of strength.

hum!

【Masked Drive!】

Like a dormant sun bursting forth from the abyss.

【Sacred Armor - Poseidon's Trident】

A vast, majestic, sacred power, seemingly originating from the ocean at the dawn of creation, burst forth from the card with an inviolable order and purifying force.

The dazzling golden light, like the first ray of dawn tearing through the eternal night, instantly dispelled the sticky and filthy black crystal blood mist surrounding Tang Zijun. The seawater, solidified like asphalt, was forcibly pushed aside and purified. The terrifying crushing pressure and the soul-corroding chaotic whispers were forced back, like ice and snow encountering the blazing sun.

Golden light rapidly condensed, extended, and took shape in Tang Zijun's hands.

A trident of the sea god, its entire body flowing with liquid gold light, wrapped with azure water god patterns, and with its three tips flashing with the divine light of "creation," "protection," and "purification," truly appeared in his hands.

Tang Zijun gripped the divine artifact, which symbolized the supreme authority over the ocean, tightly in both hands, feeling the terrifying power contained within it, enough to shake the very foundation of the world. His aura instantly surged to its peak.

The Dark Hermit form automatically dissipated in the golden light, revealing his true form covered in silver-gray basic armor, but that armor was now also plated with a sacred golden edge by the power of the sea god.

This is the first time Tang Zijun has truly used this divine weapon. Before, she had only activated a trace of its power or relied on its instinctive reaction.

Holding the halberd in his hand, he truly felt the power of the divine weapon. It was the embodiment of the rules of the ocean, the authority anchoring the world order. Every flow of energy seemed to be plucking the strings of water, the most fundamental element of this world.

pity...

A thought flashed through Tang Zijun's mind like lightning, tinged with a hint of regret.

There is no perfect form to contain this power.

Poseidon himself was merely a dying energy being, so naturally he could not grant him a new knight form. At this moment, he was simply relying on his own will to forcibly control this divine artifact that far exceeded his current life level. Every surge of energy was like riding a raging galaxy, and his body and soul were enduring enormous backlash and burden.

But that's enough.

Tang Zijun's eyes burned with determination, and the Trident of Poseidon in his hand erupted with an even more intense golden light, making his body, which was covered in basic armor, look like a war god forged from gold.

His goal was crystal clear: to expel and seal. He would use the power of the seal set up by the gods of the Void Realm, which was already connected to the foundation of this world, to force this malignant tumor back into the cage where it should have been sleeping.

"Drink it!!"

Tang Zijun let out a roar that shook the deep sea. He gripped the trident tightly with both hands, pouring all his strength, will, and understanding of the laws into it. It was no longer a simple release of energy, but rather an invocation of the deepest, dormant rules of the world...

A sealing net woven by the ancient gods.

Buzz—! ! !

The Trident of Poseidon seemed to become a huge energy hub. The brilliant golden light was no longer confined to the halberd itself, but spread out like a living thing, instantly creating a mysterious resonance with the surrounding filthy seawater, the pulsating body of the evil god beneath its feet, and the spatial structure of the entire ocean.

Complex, ancient, pale golden chains of runes, exuding an aura of eternal imprisonment, appeared out of thin air in the boiling, blood-red seawater. They seemed to be made of light, or as if they were directly imprinted on space itself. These chains ignored the obstruction of the filthy seawater and the sticky, asphalt-like substance. As if they possessed a life of their own, they coiled around the enormous, boundless body of the evil god below, especially its open, chaotic giant eye!

[Roar! Ro ...

A roar that defied description by any physical sound wave, a roar that shook the very foundations of the world, filled with fury and extreme malice of being offended, exploded like billions of supernovae erupting simultaneously, resounding deep within Tang Zijun's soul and throughout the entire Abyss Sea.

The Lord of the Deep Sea, sleeping in the deep sea, instinctively sensed a threat, not from an existence of equal power, but from an ant it regarded as dust. And this ant actually held a key that could pry open the foundation of its cradle!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!

The entire boiling, filthy sea came alive!

It was no longer a viscous liquid, but had transformed into an extension of His will, a part of His body!

The seawater, solidified like asphalt, instantly transformed into billions of filthy, dark tentacles covered with suckers and sharp teeth, lashing out at Tang Zijun and the trident in his hand with the power to crush stars.

The pulsating earth below suddenly undulated violently, and countless dark red veins as large as mountain ranges tore through the surface, transforming into filthy giant spears that pierced through the deep sea, tearing through space and shooting towards Tang Zijun.

Within that chaotic giant eye, the indescribable light suddenly surged, and a chaotic death light, condensed purely from the concept of nothingness and seemingly capable of erasing all traces of existence, shot towards Tang Zijun's brow silently yet with extreme speed, like the first darkness after the creation of heaven and earth!

At this moment, the entire abyss transformed into a living meat grinder driven by pure malice and a destructive will, with only one objective—to crush the worm holding the key.

"bring it on!"

Tang Zijun's eyes were bloodshot. Faced with this terrifying offensive that could cause even a true god to perish, he not only did not retreat, but instead transformed all his fear into the most ferocious fighting spirit. He no longer dodged, nor could he dodge, because his will was communicating with and guiding the sealing chains that filled the void through the trident.

"Go back...!"

He gripped the trident, which was bursting with golden light, tightly with both hands, as if he were holding a stabilizing needle. Instead of retreating, he advanced and fiercely thrust it towards the chaotic death light that was shooting towards the billions of filthy tentacles and giant spears, and towards the giant eye that represented the ultimate chaos of the universe!

boom!!

A collision that defies description.

Golden divine light and chaotic death light collided violently at the core of the abyss.

Pale golden chains of order and filthy, tentacle-like spears intertwined and annihilated each other in a frenzy.

The power of the sea god to purify all things and the chaotic will to erase existence are like two universes clashing against each other.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The space was like fragile glass, riddled with cracks.

Tang Zijun felt like a speck of dust thrown into the core of a star. Her body cracked inch by inch in the terrifying shockwave. Her silver-gray basic armor was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks. Blood seeped out from the gaps and was immediately evaporated by the violent energy around her. Her soul felt as if it had been thrown into a chaotic millstone, enduring the excruciating pain of being completely crushed every second.

But his hand holding the halberd was as steady as a rock!

The tip of Poseidon's trident, the one representing "purification," now burst forth with unprecedented light, precisely striking the very center of the chaotic giant eye that was entangled and covered by countless pale golden chains of order.

laugh-!!!

Like a red-hot iron pressed onto a filthy ice surface!

For the first time, the enormous eye of chaos trembled violently. The thick, grayish-white continental structure around its eyelids cracked open with countless huge fissures, and the chaotic light deep within its pupils momentarily became disordered and contracted.

efficient!?

The sealing power is being activated, forcibly suppressed, and pushed back!

【roar-!!!】

The evil god let out an even more ferocious and unwilling roar, and the attack of the entire Sea of ​​Filth instantly increased tenfold. The cracks on Tang Zijun's body widened, and blood gushed out. He felt that his body was on the verge of collapse.

Immediately afterwards, the core of the sealing network, which was buried deep within the rules of the world, set up by the gods of the Void Realm, and which had long shared the same breath and fate as the planet, suddenly lit up!

It was an unimaginably huge, three-dimensional magic array composed of countless mysterious golden runes!

It rotates slowly like the core of a planet, exuding an eternal aura that suppresses eternity and isolates the void.

"Now!" Tang Zijun steeled her resolve, transforming the Trident of the Sea God into a bridge, and forcefully slammed the sealing power she had unleashed into the core node of the sealing array.

Rumble—!

It was as if a colossal beast that had been dormant for billions of years had been completely awakened!

The entire ultimate sealing formation was activated instantly!

An indescribable, terrifying power, as if the very will of the universe had descended upon this place, crashed down through the passage opened by Tang Zijun, via the Trident of Poseidon.

This force is no longer triggered by Tang Zijun, but is the complete revival and active suppression of the seal itself.

The golden light no longer emanated from Tang Zijun, but rather emanated from every corner and every inch of this filthy abyss.

It even gushed out from every drop of filthy blood!

Countless materialized chains of golden runes, resembling star chains, solidified from the void, like divine shackles binding heaven and earth, layer upon layer, densely wrapped around the massive body of the sleeping lord of the deep sea. In particular, the enormous eye of chaos was tightly locked and covered by countless chains.

[Roar! Ro ...

Golden star chains, like divine shackles, wrapped layer upon layer around the enormous shadow representing the ultimate chaos of the universe. The holy runic radiance illuminated the eternal abyss, making the slowly sinking, terrifying giant eye appear like a bound demon star.

Tang Zijun's nerves, stretched to their limit, even amidst excruciating pain and a near-collapse in consciousness, saw a faint tremor emerge—it was a success, the seal had been restarted!

The world...for now...

But, in the very instant that thought arose...

Click—!

A crisp, terrifying cracking sound, like a death knell striking the very foundations of the universe, resounded without warning deep within Tang Zijun's soul and throughout the entire Abyss Sea.

Followed by.

Click! Click! Click!

Like a chain reaction.

The countless golden star chains that had just solidified and exuded an aura of eternal restraint suddenly shattered at the same time, like rotten wood eroded by billions of years, or like glass struck by an invisible giant hammer.

Countless fragments of chains, shimmering with divine light, like shattered golden stardust, dimmed and vanished instantly in the filthy seawater.

The power that bound the sleeping lord of the deep sea vanished, like a mirage.

Tang Zijun stood frozen in place, her thoughts completely frozen.

He stared blankly at the countless golden specks of light shattering and dissipating, his mind a complete void.

Not just him.

Even the enormous shadow below, being dragged into the abyss—the very eye of the Lord of the Deep Sea, which had just closed with resentment and malice—seemed to pause for a moment. An indescribable sense of astonishment and doubt emanated from its massive body and the gaps in its eyelids that were about to close completely.

It seemed that even the embodiment of the dark side of the universe had not anticipated this sudden...freedom?

This moment of frozen time lasted for less than the time it takes for one heartbeat.

Tang Zijun's brain, which had been shut down by the enormous impact, suddenly realized—the Void Realm had shattered.

This seal relies on the power of the gods and is the foundation of the existence of the Void Realm.

With its foundation shattered, this seal is nothing but water without a source, a tree without roots, a mere illusion...

bad thing!

These two words struck Tang Zijun's heart like a dagger, chilling her to the bone!

The seal required the power of the gods of the Void Realm to maintain it. He thought that he could use the trident as a key to activate the remaining power, but he overlooked the fact that the keyhole was already connected to a ruin.

boom-!!!!

An unprecedented, terrifying will, containing the extreme rage of being tricked, the ecstasy of breaking free from constraints, and the hunger to destroy everything, erupted like a trillion-ton equivalent spiritual nuclear bomb from the giant eye of the sleeping lord of the deep sea, which was about to close!

The entire sea area where Tang Zijun was located—no, the entire spatial structure of the abyss—was as if it had been gripped tightly by an invisible, star-covering giant hand, and then... violently slammed downwards.

puff!

Tang Zijun felt like a rag doll carelessly discarded by a giant. His cracked armor let out a final groan and disintegrated instantly. His battered body was exposed in the filthy seawater, and the blood spurting from his mouth was instantly stained dark. An irresistible, terrifying force, seemingly emanating from the entire ocean itself, amplified ten thousandfold like the gravity well of a planet, struck him fiercely.

He didn't even have time to react.

Like a stone thrown into a bottomless abyss, he instantly lost all ability to move on his own. He was swept up by this overwhelming force and fell madly toward the bottom of the abyss, which was deeper than hell and darker than nothingness, at a speed far exceeding that of free fall.

In his final, distorted glimpse as he plummeted downwards...

He saw the most horrific and desperate sight he had ever witnessed.

The vast, boundless body of the evil god below, pulsating with dark red veins and originally regarded as the seabed, moved.

It's not peristalsis.

It's not sinking.

Instead, it is standing up.

An indescribable, colossal structure rose and roared in the darkness like a living mountain, countless limbs covered in thick, decaying tissue stretching out. The chaotic, gigantic eye, just bound by chains and about to close, now held a cold, indifferent...

The absolute sense of dominance, like a beast that has just woken up looking down at ants, slowly and fully awakens once again.

The chaotic light in his eyes now resembled a newly born black domain, about to devour everything.

Even more despairing is that this vast, incomprehensible continent, with its newly risen, pillar-like structures that seem to support the heavens and earth—perhaps legs, perhaps other supporting organs—is slowly...lifting upwards with the force to crush planets.

He...

for real...

We're out of trouble!

and...

He...

I'm going to...

On the sea! ! !
