Chapter 137: Let

On the altar.

"Hum~." Only the energy hum of the wrist blade could be heard; aside from that, almost no other noise.

Around the blood pool, there were only ten OriginalBodies standing in the foul black water.

In less than five minutes.

How many dog‑beasts did they kill? A thousand? Two thousand?

They didn't bother counting; anyway, the dog‑beasts that fled from the crimson pillar were all beneath their feet.

"Heh." At this moment Robert looked at the pillar and sneered, "The god is no more than this, hiding behind that side? Cowardly thing."

"Trash," John added.

"Useless," Kelakesi echoed.

"Heh," the other OriginalBody brothers also laughed mockingly.

However, the Blood Demon did not reply with words to the OriginalBodies' provocation, but with action.

"Dong!!"

It first stepped its right leg out of the pillar, its massive right foot planting on the altar, causing the entire altar and the whole underground chamber to tremble.

Immediately after,

The Blood Demon, which had been in another space, gained a foothold in the real world, shifted its huge body through the pillar, fully revealing its true form before the OriginalBodies.

Its fiery‑red rough skin, cow‑hoof‑like feet, swollen muscular arms, and dog‑like head were almost identical to the speculative illustration in red and white.

The Blood Demon stood at least forty meters tall.

Its eyes, burning like flames, stared at the "short" OriginalBodies below.

It spoke, "Fear! Submit! As long as you submit to me, you too will possess such towering bodies!"

Its deep voice resonated throughout the cavern, its tone brimming with confidence.

But…

It did not sense fear from the OriginalBodies; instead, it sensed their mockery becoming even clearer.

What is this situation?

"." Observing the silent OriginalBodies.

Although the Thunder God Hammer's helmet concealed their faces, it was easy to guess that they truly despised submitting to the Blood Demon.

It should be known that in the "Weaving" workshop of the Gobekli Research Center, the company had already fashioned a prototype DivineBody for them.

A single charge against the Blood Demon's over‑forty‑meter height was not worth their interest.

Truly, no one knows where the Blood Demon's confidence comes from.

"Oh?" the Blood Demon sighed, "I didn't expect you to be indifferent to the ascension of flesh. Then… how about this!!"

"Boom~—!"

A visible blood‑red energy wave, centered on the Blood Demon, surged outward.

"Hum!"

The moment the energy wave reached the OriginalBodies, the Thunder God Hammer's automatic sensing shield reacted instantly, generating a pale‑yellow energy shield to resist the Blood Demon's onslaught like a mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

"Step! Step!"

Although the shield‑assisted OriginalBodies suffered no real damage, the mind‑piercing impact forced them to instinctively raise their arms in front and retreat several steps before regaining balance.

The OriginalBodies could tangibly feel the endless chill, slaughter, and fury emanating from the Blood Demon.

What followed was an instinct compelling them to kneel, even to submit to the Blood Demon before them.

!!!

Impossible!!

"Brothers! Let's slay the god!" Robert, fists gripping the Flame Sword, charged forward.

"Die! False god!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

"Twang! Twang! Twang!!"

Seeing Robert launch the charge, five brothers drew their burst guns again, pulling the triggers hard at the Blood Demon standing in the altar's center.

"Whoosh~! Whoosh~!"

The five brothers' shoulder cannons also glowed blue, firing plasma clusters toward the Blood Demon.

Meanwhile, Kelakesi and two other brothers cranked the power of their energy wrist blades to maximum and, keeping distance from Robert, jointly charged the Blood Demon.

However, this time the burst projectiles and plasma clusters failed to tear the Blood Demon's body.

A shield, similar to the Thunder God Hammer's, rose before the Blood Demon.

"Boom! Boom!" The burst projectiles and clusters were blocked by the red‑glowing shield.

"Ha‑ha‑ha‑!" the Blood Demon spread its arms and laughed, "How is it?! Seeing the gap between you and the DivineBody…!!!"

"Rou——!" the whooshing sound made the Blood Demon halt its laughter as if facing a great foe, and it quickly dodged.

"Pfft—!"

Even though the Blood Demon dodged, a straight red beam still pierced its left shoulder, spraying dark blood.

It turned out that John, who had not charged, seized the moment when the Blood Demon laughed arrogantly, and hurled the Spear of Fear at its head.

Had the Blood Demon not dodged, the beam would have pierced its head rather than the left shoulder.

Having evaded the strike, the Blood Demon looked at John and saw the spear, which should have vanished, reappear in John's right hand.

"How can that be!" the Blood Demon roared incredulously, "It's the Spear of Fear?! Impossible! This is impossible!"

"Die!"

Robert had already surged to the Blood Demon's feet, shouting as he raised the Flame Sword high and swung forcefully at the demon's left hoof.

"Sss!" The flame‑blazing sword blade tore the Blood Demon's skin with no effort.

"Huh—!" The unquenchable flames kept scorching the wound on the left hoof.

"Ah—!! Damn little thing!"

The Blood Demon couldn't help but shout in pain, raising its left foot to step toward Robert.

"Boom!" With a single stomp, the entire underground chamber trembled, and countless shards of stone rained down from above.

Even the altar nearly collapsed.

Yet the Blood Demon's attack was like slow motion to Robert; he didn't need to deliberately dodge and simply evaded the demon's angry stomp.

"Die!"

"Die!"

The Blood Demon, whose strike failed, instead faced slashes and thrusts from Kelakesi and two other OriginalBodies.

"Sss!"

"Pfft!"

The energy wrist‑blade, at peak power, was not as sharp as the Flame Sword, but it could still wound the Blood Demon's body.

!!

The Blood Demon didn't expect it.

It truly didn't expect that these "little things" could harm its body, making it relive the pain of ten thousand years ago.

"Damn!!!"

Remembering the humiliation it suffered ten thousand years ago, the Blood Demon raised its head and roared, releasing an even stronger energy wave that struck all OriginalBodies and the underground chamber.

"Boom! Boom!"

The Blood Demon's action put the entire underground space, along with the castle above, in imminent danger of collapse.

"Buzz!" The OriginalBodies' energy shields flared open.

Yet they did not retreat; they continued to launch fierce attacks on the Blood Demon.

"Roar—!"

"Pfft!" The Spear of Fear pierced the Blood Demon's abdomen.

"Sss!" The Flame Sword slashed the Blood Demon's thigh.

"No!!" The scar‑covered Blood Demon let out another howl of pain.

"No—what no! Die, false god!!"

At that moment, Kelakesi activated the rear thruster of the Thunder God Hammer and surged straight toward the Blood Demon's gaping mouth.
