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

Even at this critical juncture, He still tried to struggle, attempting to invoke the "Dimensional Devouring Law," which had once devoured countless galaxies, to fight against it.

Unfortunately, in this strange realm where only the old rules apply, His power, authority, and status are like a firecracker whose gunpowder has been drained.

Useless.

boom! boom! boom!

The next moment, the trillions of enormous eyeballs on Zogra's body surface, under the crushing pressure of the old power, exploded one after another like berries being trampled.

The shattering of each eyeball is accompanied by the loss of the essence accumulated over countless eras.

Those tentacles that once struck fear into the hearts of all living beings were now as fragile as withered grass, crumbling and disappearing inch by inch under the crushing power of Cthulhu's giant hand.

"No... the great Lord of Devouring Dimensions should not have fallen at the hands of this vessel that has not even spanned an era..."

Zograna's mental fluctuations, filled with resentment and fear, trembled wildly in the void. He desperately curled inward, trying to protect his last vestige of divinity.

Gu Xu stood atop Cthulhu's head, coldly looking down at the insect struggling for its life in his palm.

"Great? Don't be disgusting."

Gu Xu spoke softly, but his voice was deafening like thunder in the space.

"From the day you seized power during Ragnarok and clung to life like rats in the cracks of dimensions, you false gods have been far removed from the word 'great'."

As he said this, he slightly raised his chin, and the black and white halo suddenly shone brightly again, radiating an even more terrifying sense of oppression.

"Times have changed, Zogra. Give back what you've taken in, with interest."

As Gu Xu finished speaking, Cthulhu's illusory giant hands tightened suddenly.

Click—!

In an instant, a deafening cracking sound echoed deep within the Cloud Realm.

Of course, this loud noise signifies that the authority and divinity of the ancient god Zogra, the Lord of Dimensions, who existed in this universe, were forcibly crushed!

……

Meanwhile, in the external reality.

The enormous flesh and blood body that occupied the sky of the Dark Star System suddenly stopped all movement.

The trillions of crimson maws that were still frantically tearing at the black mist of calamity instantly lost all their vitality, turning into a sky full of foul-smelling ashes that fell in a flurry.

A false god has vanished into thin air.

In Gu Xu's mind, the grand system notification sound arrived as scheduled, almost frantically flooding the screen.

[Ding! Target detection: The true form of the Dimensional Devourer, Zogra (non-dimensional projection), has completely perished.]

[Fifth Job Advancement Quest: The Ancient Reign (God-War Level) Objective 2: Devour the Agent of the Devouring Gods, Munedi! Completed]

[Fifth Job Advancement Quest: The Old Kingdom (God-War Level) Objective 3: Seize the authority of Zogra, the Lord of the Devourers! Completed!]

[Ding! Your level restriction has been lifted!]

The current level cap has been exceeded!

……

As the notification sound faded, an immense amount of pure primordial energy, beyond description, surged into Gu Xu's entire body like a reversed galaxy.

This force was so immense that even if it were the old Gu Xu, with his Calamity Body, he would have had his blood vessels burst from being stretched so much.

But now, with the steady and powerful pumping of the End King Core, this violent source energy was easily tamed, turning into a gentle trickle that nourished his body, which had just completed its divine transformation.

"Phew!"

Gu Xu exhaled a long breath, feeling the terrifying power within his body that seemed capable of shattering the cosmic crystal wall with a single punch.

Of course, he didn't linger in that exhilarating feeling for long.

Because, right where Zogra's spiritual body had completely dissipated, a mass of matter emitting a strange light was quietly suspended there.

【Name: The Mouth of the Ancients (Completed/Core)】

[Rank: ??? (Not visible)]

[Status: Awakening/Yearning/Return]

[Introduction: It was once the source of the dimensional devouring power of that great being, and countless ages ago it transformed into the ancient false god Zogra.]

Clearly, this is a brand new piece of the puzzle, yet it exudes an incredibly ancient aura.

It is unlike any puzzle piece that Gu Xu had collected before.

It is more like a unique core that Zogra nurtured over countless eras by nourishing it with his own divinity and fusing it with fragments of the past.

Gu Xu slowly floated down from Cthulhu's head and stopped in front of the puzzle piece.

He gazed at the source of light, which exuded a deadly allure, and a complex emotion surfaced in his eyes.

"The first one..."

Gu Xu murmured softly.

This was the first ancient false god he had truly and single-handedly slain since embarking on his career change, in an absolutely positive light.

Looking back, I started from that small secret realm on Earth, pushing forward and devouring everything in my path, until today I stand above the starry sky of the universe.

We will trample those false gods who once held high above us and treated humans like livestock underfoot.

The gap between them is simply unimaginable.

But Gu Xu knew very well that Zogra was just the first of the false gods to jump out and seize the legacy of the past.

In those endless dimensional crevices, in the depths of that vast sea of ​​stars, there are countless greedy eyes.

They are watching him, the "new king," intently.

"This road is still very long."

Gu Xu shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts.

He wasn't a compassionate person at heart. Since those false gods wanted to die, he could just turn the world upside down and slaughter his way through.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and reached out his right hand to grab the floating old puzzle piece in his palm.

"absorb."

With a thought, the puzzle piece instantly transformed into a stream of light, flowing into his body through his palm.

However, the moment the puzzle piece entered his body, Gu Xu's expression suddenly changed.

He discovered that the fusion process was unusually slow.

Without the overwhelming assimilation of the past, this piece of the puzzle is like an extremely heavy, hard rock, stuck at the edge of his divinity, releasing its power at an extremely agonizing pace.

……

At the same time, a massive amount of information, large enough to burst his mental sea, crashed into his mind without warning.

"Buzz—!"

Gu Xu felt as if a supernova was being shoved into his head, and the intense dizziness made him sway.

Amidst the chaotic fragments of information, he vaguely glimpsed a shattered sea of ​​stars.

Countless ancient beings radiating terrifying pressure are besieging a massive, indescribably large black shadow.

This seems to be... a true image of Ragnarok!
