Chapter 692
KWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWANG!
With a blinding flash, more than half of Apollion's warships were completely destroyed without a trace.
Seeing this, Arthur Draker burst into an eerie laugh and shouted.
"HAHAHA! How interesting, Zeke Draker! You're entertaining me until the end!"
At that moment, Rivein's body, inhabited by Arthur Draker, floated up into the air.
Soon space split behind his back, and as the gap grew larger, a black hole formed.
Something suddenly popped out from that hole.
It was the giant hand that had previously wrapped around Arthur Draker and disappeared to the other side of space.
The hand grabbed the hole and pushed it open sideways, trying to come out.
KRUGUGUGUGU!
A bizarre and ominous cry flowed from inside the hole.
Soon something's head revealed itself from within.
KRUGUGUGUGU!
The evil constellation with two horns rising prominently on its head, four pairs of eyes, and a torn mouth.
Arthur Draker, his dragon eyes glowing, said.
"Evil God Ajitahaka."
The Evil God Ajitahaka, which Ramon Jiemens had tried to summon, descended upon the abandoned continent by Arthur Draker.
KUGUGUGUGU!
Previously, due to Zeke's efforts, it was sealed with only part of its body remaining and couldn't escape the isolated realm, but this time it tore through the hole and crossed dimensions to reveal itself.
With purple skin, six arms, thick legs, and a huge mouth on its stomach, the Evil God Ajitahaka exuded an ominous power in itself.
As the giant Evil God appeared in the physical world, karma's aftershock followed and plasma arose.
PAJIJIJIJIJIK!
But as if mocking karma's sanctions, Arthur Draker extended his hand toward the plasma.
Then black mist flowing from his hand neutralized the plasma, distorting causality to allow the manifested Evil God Ajitahaka to remain in the physical world.
Completely freed from the hole and stabilized with Arthur Draker's help, the Evil God opened its mouth toward the warships led by the Ark and let out a thunderous roar.
KRAAAAAAAK!
The Evil God's roar became a wave flying toward the warships.
KUGUGUGUGUGUGUGU!
The powerful wave pushed the entire fleet backward.
The Ark, standing firm, condensed magic power again to fire the main cannon.
WOOOOOONG!
Soon a powerful magic beam was fired toward the Evil God.
KWAKWAKWAKWAKWA!
Ajitahaka, seeing this, formed a hand seal with its six arms, and ancient characters appeared before it, summoning a massive door.
KWAKWAKWAKWAKWANG!
The door summoned by Ajitahaka easily blocked the magic beam.
But as if that wasn't the end, Ajitahaka's door that blocked the Ark's main cannon slowly began to open.
KKIGIGIGIGIK!
Soon from within the opened door, abyssal hungry ghosts with horrific forms poured out.
KKAGAGAGAGAK!
Possessing only instincts for slaughter and gluttony, the abyssal hungry ghosts, following the will of Ajitahaka,the former Flesh Eating Emperor who became a constellation by absorbing divine beings launched themselves toward the Ark and warships.
The hungry ghosts swarmed in black masses, making bizarre roaring sounds as they attacked the warships.
Although pushed back by Ajitahaka, the warships didn't remain idle. They fired magic cannons, turning approaching hungry ghosts to ashes.
Simultaneously, the Three-Eyed clan members aboard the warships stepped forward and amplified their power through mandalas.
WOOOOOONG!
As the power of the Three-Eyed clan spread, the hungry ghosts at the front became subjugated and began to devour other nearby hungry ghosts.
KWADUDUDUK!
Soon, hungry ghosts subjugated by the Three-Eyed power and those obeying Ajitahaka's orders created an Asura field as they devoured each other.
At that moment, there were those who flew up into the air from the warships.
They were Bird tribe wearing Hersions of the Sky Tribe.
The Bird tribe, wearing improved Hersions, flew freely through the air and threw javelins at the approaching hungry ghosts.
WHIIIIIK!
The javelins, propelled by the Bird-tribe's strength, lodged precisely into the hungry ghosts, and immediately the magic bombs installed inside exploded.
KWAKWAKWAKWAKWANG!
As the magic bombs exploded, nearby hungry ghosts were swept away as well.
Thanks to the Bird tribe who freely changed directions in the air while throwing javelins, the hungry ghosts couldn't approach the warships.
Arthur Draker, watching this from the flagship, shook his head and gave an order to Ajitahaka.
"Evil God. Swallow them all."
At Arthur Draker's command, Ajitahaka, who had summoned the hungry ghosts, now moved its body directly.
Just the movement of the giant Evil God caused the atmosphere to vibrate.
But at that moment, a massive fireball poured down toward the Evil God Ajitahaka.
WHOOOOOSH!
It was the flames of the abyss. As soon as they fell, they enveloped Ajitahaka's body.
In front of the startled Ajitahaka appeared the divine beast Hera spewing flames of the abyss, Lilith riding the first beast of the apocalypse, and the Blood King Caligula, blocking his path.
GRRRRRRRR!
Ajitahaka widely opened his torn mouth as he faced the Guardians blocking him.
From that mouth emerged multiple layers of saw-like sharp teeth and a tentacle like tongue.
His intent to tear them apart and devour them was palpable.
However, Ajitahaka didn't bite immediately. Instead, he formed a hand seal again, and the flames of the abyss enveloping his body took the form of ancient characters and rose into the air.
He launched these characters toward the Guardians.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The characters flying toward the Guardians changed shape midway and transformed into a Garuda made of flames.
KAAAAAAAK!
The Garuda, closer in form to a demonic beast than a divine one, charged toward the Guardians while spewing fire.
Caligula stepped forward, unfolded his robe, and summoned specters from his stomach.
KUGUGUGUGU!
Numerous specters emerged and blocked the charging Garuda, devouring the blazing flames.
Meanwhile, Lilith, sitting on the beast of the apocalypse, sang a song of seduction toward Ajitahaka.
KIIIIIIIING!
Lilith's mind-disturbing song affected Ajitahaka, attempting to steal his consciousness.
Toward Ajitahaka with his pupils dilated from Lilith's mental attack, Hera charged and breathed out flames of the abyss.
BOOM!
The flames of the abyss breathed out by Hera became a spear and aimed for Ajitahaka's heart.
CRUNCH!
The flame spear pierced his heart precisely, but Ajitahaka didn't move from his spot.
However, perhaps due to the burning pain, Ajitahaka regained consciousness from Lilith's song and grabbed the flame spear stuck in his heart with his hand.
GRRRRRRR!
The flames of the abyss in his hand turned purple and transformed into a whip.
Ajitahaka swung the flame whip toward the Guardians.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The powerful flame whip rained fire not only toward the Guardians but also toward the warships behind them.
BOOM! BOOM!
KABOOM!
Though there was a protective barrier protecting the warships, cracks began to form from the purple fire rain.
Ajitahaka swung the whip again, raining down fire while emitting a deafening roar.
KAAAAAAAAAK!
Even the Guardians took a step back from the roar that shook the atmosphere.
But then….
CRUNCH!
Feeling unusual pain in his neck, Ajitahaka let out a pain-filled roar.
KAAAAAAAK!
His neck stretched out elongated and he glared at his neck.
It was Zeke who had appeared at Ajitahaka's nape and plunged Ascalon while wearing the Hersion of Goddess Theia.
Zeke, looking at Ajitahaka while gripping Ascalon, said,
"Ajitahaka, this time I'll eliminate you completely."
Soon, light lightning infused with the power of the Soul Sword penetrated into Ajitahaka's body through Ascalon.
ZZZZZZZZAP!
As the light lightning penetrated his body, Ajitahaka spread his six arms wide and opened the mouth on his belly as if it would tear, letting out a scream like a wail.
KWAAAAAAAAAAA!
Ajitahaka's scream vibrated the atmosphere.
Soon, the mouth on his belly tore wider and something began to crawl out.
They were Nephilim turned into demons, with ancient characters engraved like tattoos all over their bodies.
KAAAAAAAK!
The Nephilim that the Flesh Eating Emperor Ajitahaka had swallowed in life had emerged as demons.
The demons crawled up Ajitahaka's body and rushed toward Zeke who had plunged the sword.
KAAAAAAAK!
Just as the demons rushed toward Zeke, a black shadow suddenly popped out from beneath his feet.
SWISH!
Blades made of black shadow pierced through the bodies of the demons.
Moreover, the black shadow became a huge mouth and swallowed the demons skewered on the blades in one gulp.
CRUNCH!
The demons, disappearing without a trace into Zeke's shadow, transformed into karma points and evaporated.
Meanwhile, Zeke continued to pour light lightning into Ajitahaka's body.
KAAAAAAAK!
Suffering from the light lightning burning his entire body, Ajitahaka finally couldn't endure and began to transform his body voluntarily.
CRUNCH!
Six arms fell off from his body, and his torso and legs separated.
The separated body parts underwent changes and transformed into relatively smaller Ajitahakas.
Soon, the divided Ajitahakas surrounded Zeke who was still attached to the main body's torso, each formed hand seals, and began to invoke ominous energy spells.
KUGUGUGUGU!
A moment later, ancient characters appeared on Ajitahaka's body where Zeke was attached, and the body began to transform.
CRUNCH!
Mouths appeared all over Ajitahaka's body, and tentacle-like tongues emerged trying to wrap around Zeke and swallow him.
Zeke, gripping Ascalon, launched Leviathan toward the tentacles flying from all directions.
BOOM!
Leviathan, creating a blade of light, blew away Ajitahaka's tentacles.
Then, the mouths that protruded from the body directly approached, trying to devour Zeke.
Seeing this, Zeke pulled out Ascalon and took out a new sword from his inventory.
The sun sword Gram, formed by combining two shadow swords.
When he plunged Gram into Ajitahaka's body instead of Ascalon, shadows spread in all directions.
Sensing something was wrong, the other Ajitahakas surrounding Zeke intensified their spell power.
WOOOONG!
A massive ancient character appeared before them, attempting to completely destroy Zeke's mind.
It was the evil spell of the malevolent god that even Nephilim, divine beasts with divinity, and constellations couldn't avoid.
But Ajitahaka's spell didn't work on Zeke, who possessed the powers of Perfect recovery and immutability.
While Ajitahaka was perplexed by Zeke's complete immunity to the spell, Zeke's shadows almost completely consumed Ajitahaka's body.
Simultaneously, Zeke began to compress Ajitahaka's consumed body through Gram.
Ajitahaka's body, now tainted black, underwent transformation without resistance.
CRUNCH!
Ajitahaka's massive body completely shrank, and transformed into a ritual object, with only his head remaining.
Blood King Caligula appeared behind Zeke as shadows rippled.
Zeke handed the ritual object containing Ajitahaka's power to Caligula.
Caligula carefully received it, and immediately underwent a transformation.
KUGUGUGUGU!
As the powers of the malevolent god and the Blood King combined, the spell power amplified, giving him the rank to overwhelm all of Ajitahaka's divided avatars.
Caligula, now equipped with the ritual object containing Ajitahaka's power, the Eye of Destruction, and the Crown made from the Cursed King's Skull, displayed power beyond a guardian spirit, reaching that of a guardian deity.
Feeling threatened by Caligula, Ajitahaka's avatars roared and charged forward.
Caligula's eyes flashed as he extended the ritual object toward the charging avatars.
WOOOONG!
A thunderous sound spread from Ajitahaka's head attached to the ritual object, controlling the avatars' movements.
Ajitahaka's avatars tried to resist by forming hand seals again, but it didn't seem like an easy battle.
As the tense battle between Caligula and the avatars continued, Arthur Draker, watching from the flagship, frowned slightly.
"...This is getting boring."
He was displeased, having not expected the malevolent god Ajitahaka to be defeated by mere summons of Zeke.
Just then.
"If it's a boring battle, we should end it quickly."
Turning his head at the sudden voice, he saw Zeke standing on the flagship's deck.
In his hand was Gram, with Ascalon and Leviathan floating in the air as if protecting him.
Looking at Arthur Draker, who was embodied in Libein, he said,
"Before entering the Final Tower, I'll eliminate you first, Arthur Draker."
