Great, we're doomed now!

Immediately, the light spot changed direction, and all the radiance of its body was compressed to the extreme, condensing on its right fist!

Transforming into an aurora meteor that pierces the heavens and earth, tearing through the darkness, carrying an indomitable will to die, with its fists as the vanguard, it plunges down towards the exposed evil heart below!

"The Final Flash!!!"

The moment the fist slammed into that pulsating evil heart, the giant unleashed all the remaining power of light within him, along with all the prayers and wills from the ancient past and the future, without reservation and completely!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!

An indescribable burst of brilliant light erupted, as if a sun had been ignited within the body of the evil god!

The light instantly shattered its ugly body, tore apart its remaining carapace, and blasted its massive, mountain-like form into pieces. Half of its body vaporized directly in the extreme light and heat, and the charred remains, mixed with viscous dark energy, rained down from the sky like a storm...

As the light gradually faded, the figure of [Radiance Beyond the Future] slowly emerged in mid-air, then collapsed and knelt on the ground, the timer on its chest flickering so faintly it was almost extinguished.

The next moment, the multiple images separated from his body and transformed back into Ye Shou, Tiga, and the others, all of them exhausted and seemingly on their last legs.

Before them, the once invincible evil god Gatanothor was reduced to a broken half-body, slowly writhing in the dark ruins, no longer able to utter that chilling howl.

"hold head high……"

Its scarlet eyes were filled with hatred as it glared at the giants who had severely injured it.

The evil god probably never imagined that something as powerful as it would be driven to this point by a group of "ants" it looked down upon, almost falling into the realm of death.

A life form at its level has already connected with the "origin of darkness," and ordinary injuries can be repaired quickly. However, the power of the "Ultimate Flash" just now has been like a leech, constantly damaging its wounds conceptually, preventing it from healing for a long time... If it weren't for the huge difference in strength, it might really have died!

Of course, theoretically it could be reborn even if it died... but the next "Gatagneu" might not be the same consciousness.

The giants before them were no longer able to fight, but the evil god, who had never suffered such a great loss since its birth, was still shaken by the scene just now... After a brief standoff, the evil god's remains began to retreat, its scarlet eyes gradually disappearing into the deep darkness.

Its lifespan is endless, making it far more patient than ordinary creatures. Even if it takes tens of millions of years to regroup, it is not a problem!

Miracles don't always happen, and when they do return, they will be more cautious and stronger than this time... I vow to repay today's humiliation a thousandfold!

"Don't run! Ugh! Damn it!" Darram wanted to chase after it, but he almost fell over as soon as he moved. He was too exhausted and could only watch helplessly as the evil god returned to his lair.

“Enough… If we keep fighting, we'll be the ones who die.” Camilla shook her head. “The lucky evil god was cautious enough, otherwise… cough!”

The giantess was also panting heavily, feeling extremely weak.

Ye Shou looked at the dark cave entrance, and although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up.

His situation is slightly better than that of a regular Titan. He had used up all his energy in the previous combined attack, but he also experienced a "transition" when the Titans separated. Now he can barely unleash a simple beam once, which is naturally far from enough.

If the war is restarted, everyone will die here, and all that will be given in return is for the evil god to sleep for two more years!

"That's enough. Let's rest for a bit and then seal this place up."

Ye Shou looked around: "I don't know how many years it will take for these dark auras to dissipate... Even if we defeat the evil god, the surface will still restart."

"Yes..." The giants looked somber and somewhat unwilling.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's collect the stone statues and give them a proper burial."

"Ok!"

"it is good!"

Ye Shou volunteered: "I still have some energy—be careful!"

A warning flashed through Ye Shou's mind, and he turned around abruptly. The darkness that had retreated underground surged up again, and a tentacle flew through the air, pulled away a giant, and nimbly wrapped around Ye Shou's waist.

"what!"

The giants were terrified but it was too late to help. Ye Shou fought back with all his might, but the tentacle was incredibly strong. In just a moment of stalemate, it lifted his feet off the ground and sent him flying back into the abyss with a loud bang!

"Ye Shou!!!"

In his desperation, Tiga forgot that he was running out of energy and forced himself to fly, but he was thrown away by the dense dark energy at the mouth of the abyss.

"Um, Ye Shou..."

-

Ye Shou felt an irresistible force surge through him, the scene before him receding rapidly, and the shouts of his companions in shock and anger quickly turning into a muffled echo that enveloped him. The tentacle dragged him into the abyss at a terrifying speed, plunging him straight into the deepest part of the earth's crust.

The surroundings were no longer solid rock layers, but a viscous darkness, as if it were liquid.

Here, Gatanothor's remaining essence exists in a state between energy and physical form; one could say it has abandoned its physical form and transformed into the darkness itself.

Countless tangible and intangible tentacles coiled around Ye Shou from all directions, locking his limbs, torso, and even neck tightly. These energy tentacles were icy cold, penetrating directly through his giant-form skin and beginning to frantically pour the purest dark energy and negative emotions into his core.

This is not an attack, but an erosion of the "spirit and flesh"!

"Ugh—!"

The little bit of light power within Ye Shou's body was no match for it, and in order to avoid destruction, his body instinctively transformed into the [Dark Radiance] form.

It felt as if a million steel needles were piercing my mind at the same time!

Countless noisy, shrill screams filled with pain and despair erupted in an instant in the form of curses, like a raging torrent that breached the dam of his consciousness.

Those were the final emotions released by billions of beings in an ancient civilization at the moment of its destruction and its own demise—fear of unknown calamities, grief over the loss of loved ones, anger at the injustice of fate, and resentment at their own weakness.

And a deep-seated resentment towards the entire world... all of this was savored and absorbed by Gatanothor as a delicious treat, accumulating over countless years.

At this moment, it spared no expense, turning it into the most vicious weapon, and poured it all into Ye Shou's body!

Countless fragmented images flashed before his eyes:

Cities burned in flames, loved ones dissolved in acid, children wept in despair, and soldiers fell in the black fog...

These were not his memories, but they were equally unforgettable. The intense empathy made him almost unable to distinguish who he was. The despair of hundreds of billions of people was like a heavy lead weight, threatening to crush and assimilate his self-awareness!

The evil god Gatanothor's purpose is clear: it has suffered an unprecedented blow and needs an extremely long time to repair and rebuild its power.

　But it was unwilling to remain silent, and Ye Shou, a special individual with both light and dark qualities and great potential, became the perfect "incarnation" container in its eyes.

It wants to completely corrupt and distort Ye Shou's soul!

Imprint it with your own mark and turn it into your representative in the real world.

In this way, even if its main body is asleep, it can still observe and influence the world for tens of millions of years to come through Ye Shou, and destroy any factors that may become a threat.

It believes its biggest failure was not having enough powerful subordinates.

Golza and Melba, as well as Zoga, may be considered decent monsters, but ultimately they cannot kill the giant. Even with a legion-level scale, they are far inferior to the giant's casual attacks.

Ye Shou's value is far greater than that of ordinary monsters!

Therefore, it spared no effort, like the most skilled craftsman, using the most cruel methods to hammer and erode every corner of Ye Shou's consciousness, trying to reshape him into a killing tool belonging only to darkness.

...Ye Shou felt that his soul was like a small boat in a storm, which could be completely swallowed up by the boundless darkness and despair at any moment.

The boundaries of his self are becoming blurred, and his steadfast beliefs are teetering on the brink of collapse under the onslaught of the torrent. The cold, dark energy, like a deadly poison, seeps into the depths of his consciousness, attempting to freeze all his light and warmth!

"Ugh—Aaaaaaah!"

Suddenly, a blood-red light gushed out from the giant's body!

The pure, dark, radiant form has finally been tainted with an evil hue!

The moment this dark giant was born, the surrounding space began to tremble. The originally extremely violent dark energy suddenly became docile and calm, flowing around him like water.

Succeeded?

Gatanothor let out a huffy, arrogant laugh, its tentacles of consciousness reaching out to take over the dark giant's body—

No response.

The evil god was somewhat surprised. Under its control, the giant remained completely still, and it felt no connection with it whatsoever... Even its own energy, which had originally belonged to it, disappeared without a trace after entering the giant's body and could no longer be mobilized.

What happened? Did I use too much force and completely kill off my inner spirit, leaving only an empty shell?

Gatanothor tried even harder to connect with the other party—

"Ah!"

The evil god heard a cold laugh.

The giant raised its head, a mocking smile and a hint of madness flashing in its eyes. Then it unleashed a brutal and evil force that shook the surrounding space, its expression consumed by an insatiable desire for destruction.

Revenge and despair;

Slaughter and bloodshed;

—【The Death of Hope: The Dark Tyrant】!

boom!!!

A crimson flash enveloped the fist shadow and slammed it hard into the evil god's head!

"hold head high?!"

Gatanothor was completely unprepared for this sudden backlash. The dark energy that constituted its temporary body became noticeably blurred under the dual impact of the physical shock and the evil will!

Before it could react, the Dark Tyrant's attacks came down like a storm!

"Oh oh oh oh oh la!"

Fists, elbows, knees, kicks... every attack was filled with the most primal destructive desire, and also carried with scarlet alien power, which was poured wildly onto the remnants of the evil god.

As the dark energy was continuously dispersed and dissipated, Gatanothor let out a howl mixed with pain and rage.

Instinctively, it condensed several energy tentacles to retaliate, lashing out at the tyrant and exploding in bursts of sparks. However, the tyrant neither dodged nor evaded, enduring the attacks head-on, and even managed to grab one of them!

"Roar--!"

With a low, inhuman roar, the tyrant unleashed terrifying power from his arms and ripped the tentacles made of pure energy off Gatanothor's body!

What shocked and even horrified the evil god even more was that the tyrant giant, gripping the severed tentacle, opened its mouth wide and bit down hard!

He tore and devoured the viscous dark energy like food, and the energy that he had consumed in the battle began to recover at a visible speed!

The evil god was at a loss for what to do:

This is no longer the "incarnation" it had envisioned, but a ferocious beast that has completely lost control and turned against its master!

It wants a killing machine, but the blade shouldn't be pointed at itself!

Gatanothor felt a strong sense of absurdity and rage, and more tentacles surged forth, sending shockwaves toward the tyrant in an attempt to regain control or utterly destroy this dangerous creation.

However, the berserk giant displayed astonishing fighting instincts and resilience, exchanging wounds for wounds, and even continuing to tear and devour the evil god's energy body in a more savage manner to replenish himself.
