Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

The white giant that broke in enveloped the entire area with its divine will, instantly locking onto Samael's location. With a casual wave of its hand, it compressed the ethereal light stream, hundreds of meters in diameter, to its limit, and brutally plowed across the sea surface.

Several isolated islands floating on the sea collapsed instantly.

Click!

Not only that, but the entire crust of this fragment of the divine era was completely shattered under the bombardment.

Unparalleled heat erupted from the fissure leading directly to the Earth's core, causing space to tremble and twist, and everything in its path—seawater, islands—vanished into nothingness.

This little world is finished...

Samael's divine power surged wildly as he struggled to break free of Marduk's lock. He then transformed into a streak of light and fled to the outside world, disappearing into a new fragment of a world.

Run, you bugs!

Seemingly aroused by Samael's disheveled appearance, Marduk's face revealed a sadistic grin as he continued to toy with his nemesis, who was struggling for survival, like a cat playing with a mouse.

In the scorching desert, the ancient serpent had just stopped on the submerged golden tower, panting for breath, when, like the white light of the sun falling, it tore through the raging sandstorm and plummeted toward him.

Again!

Samael's heart pounded, his hair stood on end, and he instinctively leaped into the air.

In the blink of an eye, the golden desert below vaporized directly in the high temperature, and the yellow sand in the middle and far areas melted into magma flowing freely on the surface.

Looking around, the world was a sea of ​​red.

go!

Samael felt a chill run down his spine and turned around without hesitation, leaving behind this equally fragmented world of gods and fleeing for a new foothold.

Marduk, whose sadistic tendencies were growing stronger, relentlessly pursued her.

In a short time, the vast mountains of China, the fertile lands of Mesopotamia, the boundless plateaus of Persia, and the dense rainforests of the Maya... all became battlegrounds for the two great gods.

One by one, the fragments of the divine era peeled from the World Tree melted and disintegrated under the tyrannical power of the Starry Sky Demon God.

Among them, the creatures that barely survived were stripped of even the right to silently weep in the midst of disaster, and were completely obliterated along with the collapse of the small world, becoming nothing more than a wisp of dust.

Soon, very few fragments of the world that had been suspended above the tide of nothingness remained.

The little mouse, covered in dirt and riddled with holes, will soon have nowhere to hide and nowhere to retreat.

Witnessing his nemesis being driven into a corner step by step, his face turning pale and desperate, the light and shadow in the right eye of the white giant god seemed to be very pleasing to him.

Come again!

Under intense bombardment, Samael barely broke through the pursuit of the light band at the cost of an arm, and gritted his teeth as he crashed into a fragment of the Age of Gods that happened to float behind him.

Hmph! Still not giving up!

Marduk, a cold smile playing on his lips, stepped into the room with the air of a conqueror.

found it!

The white giant standing amidst the dense forest gazed at the mist-shrouded valley, grinned wildly, and in front of his raised arms, countless magic arrays hummed and trembled.

Tsk tsk tsk!

The next moment, a dense barrage of magical beams, like a meteor shower, swept across the misty valley with a sharp whistling sound, raising clouds of crystalline dust.

With nowhere to hide, the ancient snake, like a stray dog, clutched its not-yet-fully-regenerated severed arm, and leaped into the air, soaring towards the sky.

Seeing his old rival in such a miserable state, Marduk laughed wildly, his face becoming increasingly ferocious.

"Speak out your fear, beg for mercy, and finally drown in this boundless sea of ​​suffering. This is the only salvation for you! Hahahaha!"

However, unexpectedly, the man across from them, who was at his wit's end, turned around, his lips moved, and a strange smile spread across his face.

Based on his lip movements, Marduk subconsciously translated the content word by word.

"idiot!"

"Roar!"

At the same time, a chilling roar suddenly came from the misty valley, and the indescribable eeriness made Marduk catch his breath.

Boom!

The next moment, the earth shook and a majestic monster, shimmering with a crystal-blue luster, with four pairs of abdominal legs, 40 meters long, and resembling a spider, burst out from the misty valley. Its eight compound eyes stared sinisterly at the culprit that had disturbed its sleep.

When Marduk came to his senses, he was shocked to find that the trees had instantly crystallized and the sky had turned into crystal-like plates.

The instigator, however, has already fled.

The invincible Starry Sky Demon God paused for a few seconds as if contemplating the meaning of life, and then a series of trembling sounds roared out from the blazing white light and shadow.

I am XXX!

Chapter 241 A spider lies in its home, but disaster strikes from the sky?

Meanwhile, on Avalon Island.

A streak of light flashed across the sky, piercing through the World Tree's light screen, and then, like a meteor, wobbled and fell into the lake.

At the critical moment, a tall, blonde goddess dressed in South American style broke through the rocks beneath her feet, leaped up, and then extended fiery wings from her back. She flapped her wings and flew into the air, spreading her arms wide and embracing the meteor tightly, ignoring its heat and impact.

"Samael!"

The feathered serpent goddess, who had arrived on Avalon Island at some unknown time, carried Samael to the front of the hall and poured her gentle, healing divine power into him, calling out urgently.

"Phew, no need to shake him anymore, he's not dead yet."

The ancient snake struggled to open its eyes, coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, pressed down on Kukulkan's arm, and groaned weakly.

"That's good...that's good..."

Quetzalcoatl breathed a sigh of relief and carefully helped the seriously wounded man in his arms to his feet. When his amber eyes fell on Samael's broken left arm, he felt another pang of heartache.

"It's alright. I'm still alive, so even if I'm just a head, I can slowly recover."

Samael raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the feathered serpent goddess, leaned against the stone pillar, and chuckled comfortingly.

Fortunately, Kukulkan was not one to be pretentious. He quickly calmed himself down, glanced at the sky, and solemnly inquired.

"How's it going over there?"

"We have fulfilled our mission. Our all-knowing and all-powerful God should now be engaged in battle with that one in Crystal Valley."

Samael exhaled a long breath, his narrowed snake eyes revealing a mocking sneer.

In fact, the Ninth Line of Defense and Crystal Tree Valley refer to two completely different blocks.

One is the Mayan Tree Sea, and the other is... Crystal Valley!

The reason the two places are separated is because a shocking secret is hidden in Crystal Valley.

That is, a UO from Mercury, named "Olt," is sleeping inside.

UO is an abbreviation for Ultimate One, and Ultimate One is an individual that stands at the top of the planet's biological system, that is, the strongest on the planet!

According to the principle of food chain hierarchy, the higher a species is in the food chain, the more its individual characteristics tend to show this trend—increased intelligence and ability, and decreased reproductive capacity.

Therefore, the higher up the food chain a species is, the fewer its numbers and the weaker its reproductive capacity, but the stronger its ability as a living organism.

From an extreme perspective, when a species reaches its ultimate development (that is, the pinnacle of evolution), its species count is 1. This single individual is the species itself, which combines the characteristics of both sexes and is immortal—this is the definition of Ultimate One.

Therefore, they are often the embodiment of planetary spirits, standing above the gods.

In theory, the giant spider Oort is the planetary spirit of Mercury, one of the eight planets in the solar system, and is on par with Gaia, the planetary spirit of Earth.

The ancient serpent from the future had also heard of this.

In 2011, NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft reached Mercury's orbit and observed unusual phenomena from above.

That is, the impact craters on Mercury are very unique, with outlines resembling "spider".

Perhaps, in this world, that spider really does exist, and long ago, it escaped its home planet and came to Earth to make a living.

According to Quetzalcoatl, this alien species, which landed in South America at some unknown time, seems to have the intention of changing Earth into a planet suitable for its own survival.

Fortunately, Ort is not very active and is just a lazy giant spider. Since its arrival, it has been hiding in the valley where it landed, sleeping every day, and has no intention of violently harming the earth.

On the bright side... maybe it's because it doesn't have a penchant for aggression.

In short, this freakish thing has stayed in South America, isolating itself in Crystal Valley.

But this does not diminish Ort's terrifying strength as a UO.

Its skin is harder, softer, more resistant to temperature differences, and sharper than any other material in the world.

In addition to the powerful stats of its main reckless attack, this Protoss also possesses a unique ability similar to a Reality Marble: Crystal Valley.

As long as it exists, Earth will change due to its environment. In other words, it will tamper with the laws of physics and gradually transform into an "alternate order."

Therefore, the Mercury Spider's mere movement, emanating its power, causes various trees to crystallize, transforming them into crystal valleys, and turning the surrounding environment into its own domain...

However, with such a powerful deity lurking at their doorstep, the Mayan gods couldn't help but worry.

Therefore, many deities have tested the one in Crystal Valley.

After several reckless members of his kind were killed, Quetzalcoatl learned new characteristics from the giant spider Ort.

That is, it will not launch an attack unless it is harmed or hostile.

As early as the night of the gathering of the various gods in Uruk, Kukulkan had already informed Samael of all the relevant information.

Therefore, in light of this situation, and considering that the Crystal Valley of the giant spider could form a closed alternate dimension so that the aftermath of the battle would not affect Earth, Samael had long ago secretly planned with Quetzalcoatl to use the giant spider of Crystal Valley, Ort, as a necessary trump card.

Although risky, it's worth a try.

Even more coincidentally, Marduk's powerful attack caused many fragments of the world to shatter from the Ten Ages of Gods.

Therefore, from the moment the ancient serpent stepped off Avalon Island, it was prepared to conspire with Kukulkan to lure this Outer God into Crystal Valley and incite a battle between the two monsters.

The previous trips into different world fragments were to weaken Marduk's defenses, and the verbal provocations were to disrupt his perception.

As for why the fragment containing the Crystal Valley happened to drift behind him, is that even a question?

Samael and Kukulkan exchanged a meaningful glance, which then blossomed into a knowing smile.

"It actually worked! It's unbelievable!"

Even now, Quetzalcoatl still finds the reversal of fortune somewhat unbelievable and can't help but sigh once again.

"I've been fighting with Old Ma for thousands of years. I dare say no one knows this God better than me. I can outwit the unprepared and outmaneuver the unprepared. It's not the first time he's been tricked by me, so this is both unexpected and reasonable."

Samael scoffed dismissively, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"So, we can rest assured now?"

Kukulkan let out a long sigh of relief, his furrowed brows gradually relaxing.

"It's not that easy!"

However, Samael immediately shattered Quetzalcoatl's illusion, his expression turning serious.

"Old Ma has long been united with the will of the predatory planet Wilpa. Countless planetary civilizations have died at the hands of this thing. How could it be defeated so easily?"

Immediately, the ancient serpent's eyes flickered, and it frowned as it looked at the slumbering, dark blue embryo beneath the lake's surface, letting out a soft sigh.

“Even Gaia, fighting on home soil, was no match for that monster. Ort probably can’t defeat Marduk either. After all, this isn’t Mercury…”

Beneath a sky ablaze with flames, the ancient serpent's dark, vertical pupils narrowed slightly as it turned sideways, its head bowed, its lips moving.

"Then, it's time to put the next step on the agenda. What do you say, sir?"

"Your Majesty, everything is ready..."

An old man dressed in coarse linen clothes spoke leisurely as he emerged from the darkness, leaning on his cane.

Chapter 242 The Path of the Fire Sword!

Within Crystal Valley, two colossal beings, the white giant and the crystal-like, deep blue spider, engage in a fierce collision and battle.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

A series of explosions erupted, and the completely crystallized trees were reduced to dust by the fierce winds stirred up by the etheric tides. The earth, which had been reinforced by the power of Ortegnon, also crumbled.

Rumble…

Magma buried beneath tectonic plates is forced out of the earth through cracks due to crustal activity.

However, before the scorching magma could fully erupt, it crystallized instantly under Oort's power, turning into clusters of blooming fiery trees and silver flowers, which were quite beautiful.
