The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Gu Xu was not surprised by this result.

The strength of the Calamity Domain is what it is; it's conceptual level versus conceptual level, but the difference in rank is a whole level.

No matter how happy you are, it won't help.

But Ebisu clearly wasn't going to let it go.

Or rather, it never expected that a laugh would solve the problem.

The God of Fortune's sneer was just an appetizer.

The real killer move is behind the smile.

The enormous mouth that circled the entire face did not close after it finished laughing.

On the contrary, it grows bigger and bigger.

So large that the keratinous folds were stretched so much that they made a crisp snapping sound.

So large that Gu Xu could see the bottomless darkness deep inside the mouth even from dozens of meters away.

Then, something emerged from the darkness.

fish.

Not just one or two.

There are thousands upon thousands of them.

The myriad fish devoured, and the attack began.

Gu Xu felt that the scene of the rotten sea bream gushing out of the Ebisu's giant mouth could probably be described as "a fire hydrant bursting."

If fish were spraying out of the fire hydrant instead of water.

When the first wave of fish rushed out, there were probably several hundred of them.

Each one is as long as an adult's arm, grayish-yellow in color, with a layer of sticky yellow venom covering its scales.

The fish's eyes are white, without pupils, and its mouth is full of tiny, sharp teeth.

It's densely packed, like the rows of needles on a sewing machine.

The way these fish swam in the air was very strange.

They don't move through the water like fish using their fins, but rather they wriggle through the air like snakes.

With each twist, a cloud of yellow poisonous mist would be flung out from his body.

These few hundred are just the first wave.

The second wave followed immediately.

This wave saw a tenfold increase in numbers.

Then came the third wave.

The fourth wave. The fifth wave.

The fish kept pouring out of the Ebisu's mouth, as if that mouth was connected to a bottomless pit, which contained the entire stock of the seafood market.

Within ten seconds, the courtyard was densely covered with rotten sea bream.

There are simply too many to count!

The air was so tightly packed by these things that there was almost no gap, and the yellowish-green toxic fog turned the entire courtyard into a poisonous ocean.

Not to mention the smell.

If the stench at the entrance to the secret realm was like "a salted fish that's been dead for three days stuffed into a jar of stinky tofu," then the smell now is like "the jar has been overturned and three tons of fish entrails have been dumped inside."

Tucci stood at a distance, took a deep breath, and a large blister appeared on the abscess, making two squeaking noises.

That expression clearly said, "This tastes good."

The other servants of calamity reacted much more normally.

"Ugh~!"

The ghost bride frowned slightly and covered her nose with her sleeve.

The gravedigger remained motionless, but its hood seemed to have been pulled down slightly.

The tentacles of the Eye of the Past contracted somewhat unnaturally.

The one who had brought the dead flew higher with a million ravens.

Only Tucci thought it smelled good.

The attack method of the Thousand Fish Devourer is simple and brutal—tens of thousands of rotten sea bream swarm towards the target and bite it.

Each fish carries a high concentration of toxins from the underworld; being bitten results in the double negative effects of nerve paralysis and visual deprivation.

You might be able to withstand being bitten by one fish, but what if ten thousand fish bite you at the same time?

Just thinking about that scene sends chills down my spine.

After the fish formed a formation in the air, all the Rotten Sea Bream simultaneously changed direction and swooped down towards Gu Xu and the five servants of calamity.

The speed isn't fast, but the quantity makes up for it.

A swarm of fish surrounded them from all directions, blocking all escape routes.

To put it bluntly, this tactic is a swarm tactic—well, a swarm of fish.

They don't care about skills or strategies; they just overwhelm you with sheer numbers.

Faced with the overwhelming swarm of fish, Gu Xu decided not to watch the spectacle any longer.

The next moment, he moved a finger.

Raise your right hand and bring your index and middle fingers together.

The Realm of Calamity, full power, suppress!

There are no unnecessary movements, no fancy pre-animation.

It means pressing down with two fingers.

Then... the sky fell down!!!

It's not a metaphor.

In that instant, the black mist of the Calamity Realm condensed into an invisible giant hand, which slammed down straight down from above the courtyard.

The hand covered the entire school of fish.

Snapped.

The sound wasn't loud, but its effect was significant.

Countless rotten sea bream began to dissolve the moment they came into contact with the power of calamity.

The melting process was ridiculously fast, even faster than throwing an ice cube into a pot of oil.

From the moment each fish comes into contact with the black mist until it completely disappears, the entire process takes no more than 0.5 seconds.

First, the fish scales turned into gray powder and fell off, then the fish flesh peeled off layer by layer as if corroded by an invisible acid.

In the end, even the bones turned into dust.

0.5 seconds.

A fish can go from existing to not existing in just a short time.

What would it be like to see countless fish disappear at the same time?

It's like you poured a pot of boiling water onto a sand table.

The carefully arranged sand collapsed, scattered, and disappeared rapidly under the scouring of hot water.

In the blink of an eye, nothing was left.

The dense school of yellow-green fish above the courtyard was visibly diminishing under the shadow of the calamity.

It was as if someone had taken a giant eraser and was wiping it down from the sky.

The area that was wiped was spotless, without even a fish scale left.

But things are not that simple.

If Ebisu's Devouring Fish technique were so easily defeated, it wouldn't deserve the title of a level 95 Lord-level BOSS.

Just as the Domain of Calamity crushed the fish, the unclean earth beneath their feet began a frenzied counterattack.

The gray-black soil churned, and a large amount of Netherworld power surged from the ground, transforming into a turbid energy tide.

They climbed towards the black mist of the Calamity Domain.

The two forces collided in the center of the courtyard.

The impact shattered a large section of the courtyard.

It's not the kind of minor cracking that happens in small, sporadic cases.

The entire ground was lifted up, with rubble flying everywhere. The ground, which had been covered with red silk by the Netherworld Marriage Domain, and the gray-black soil tainted by the Yellow Springs' filth, were blasted into powder and sent flying into the air.

Even more surprisingly, cracks appeared in the space itself.

The cracks were not visual, but physical.

Space was compressed and deformed by the clash of two conceptual rules, and tiny cracks appeared visibly. A sliver of blinding white light shone through these cracks.

Gu Xu felt that resistance.

This is completely different from when I wiped out the insect projection with a Calamity Blade outside the secret realm.

The resistance at that time was "a resistance of 0.01 seconds".

But now, that resistance has become a thick, resilient wall that is constantly being reinforced.

The reason is simple—home advantage.

After all, Ebisu was fighting on his own turf.

The filthy land beneath its feet is not a pond of a fixed size, but the foundation of the entire Izumo Secret Realm.
