Chapter 436: God's Gaze

His strength was not as great as Meng Yifan's, his spell power was not as strong as Meng Yifan's, and his speed was not as fast as Meng Yifan's. Susanoo felt very aggrieved; he was being completely suppressed by Meng Yifan. If the fight continued like this, his avatar would be completely blown to pieces.

"If my true self were here, how could I allow you to be so arrogant!" Susanoo gritted his teeth. He had just tried to summon his true self, but the vast distance made the connection between the avatar and the true self extremely weak.

Perhaps his true self had already sensed that the Earth avatar was in danger, but the region where his true self resided was at least five million light-years away from Earth—a distance that would take five million years to travel even at the speed of light.

It was too far; even if Susanoo's true self wanted to fly back, it would take over a thousand years.

Moreover, the Universe Sea was filled with hidden, immense dangers everywhere; even Ancient God Realm experts risked falling there.

Susanoo's true self was merely a Seven-Rank Peak expert and dared not fly recklessly through the Universe Sea in his physical body.

It was too difficult for gods to return to Earth. There were Ancient Teleportation Arrays on Earth, but such arrays required sufficient energy on both ends to be activated.

Unless the Spirit Qi on Earth recovered, or there were enough Top-Grade Spirit Stones, the Ancient Teleportation Array could not be restarted to allow the gods to return.

Back then, all the Sixth Grade and above experts in the world had scoured the globe for Spirit Stones just to gather enough to activate the Ancient Teleportation Array.

Now, hundreds of years later, wanting to find enough Spirit Stones on Earth to restart the Ancient Teleportation Array was simply a pipe dream—a completely impossible task.

Therefore, for the gods of various nations to return to Earth, they could only wait for the recovery of Earth's Spirit Qi.

Continuing to fight meant being beaten, and Susanoo, being a wise man who knew when to yield, turned and fled. Seeing this, the global audience was stunned, finding it both ridiculous and amusing.

When Susanoo arrived, he was aggressive and overbearing, not even blinking when an atomic bomb hit his face; he was truly imposing and arrogant. Now, however, he was being beaten to pieces and fleeing in a sorry state; the contrast between before and after was just too great.

"True Person Meng, mighty!"

"True Person Meng, domineering!"

"True Person Meng, go for it, beat the dog in the water!"

"That's right, True Person Meng, don't let Susanoo get away."

"Strike while he's down."

On the internet in Shenzhou, hundreds of millions of viewers felt a sense of relief and cheered joyfully. If the energy fluctuations radiating from the battle between Meng Yifan and Susanoo hadn't been so strong, given the people's love for watching the excitement, a huge crowd of onlookers might have been sitting on yachts, surrounding Meng Yifan and cheering him on.

Meng Yifan certainly wouldn't let Susanoo leave. He flicked his body and darted out like lightning, waving the Ghost Head Blade in his hand and releasing blade auras that hacked at Susanoo's statue, sending stone chips flying.

"Quick! Fire the missiles to cover the return of the great god Susanoo." The short commander was anxious. Susanoo's statue had Sixth Grade combat power the moment it revived; if the whole nation contributed Faith Wish Power to him, his strength would increase further.

Susanoo's statue was currently the strongest being in Dongying. If he were also finished off by Meng Yifan, Dongying would never be able to hold its head up when facing Shenzhou in the future.

Thirty-five BGM-109 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles were launched from Dongying. They formed a net of heaven and earth, attempting to intercept Meng Yifan and create an opportunity for Susanoo to escape. As long as Susanoo returned to Dongying, he could have the home-field advantage, absorb the nation's Faith Power, and greatly increase his strength; at that point, who would win and who would lose would be uncertain.

However, the moment Dongying's missiles took off, Shenzhou's radar monitoring stations detected them and immediately reported the situation to Chu Yunlong.

"Those little devils are desperate now. To dare to launch their measly missiles in front of us—isn't that like brandishing a broadsword before Guan Gong, overestimating their own capabilities? Listen to my order: fire the interceptor missiles and shoot down all thirty-five of those Tomahawk Cruise Missiles for me," Chu Yunlong commanded.

Soon, thirty-five Red Flag 16 anti-aircraft missiles soared into the sky from Shenzhou, tracing beautiful curves and precisely striking Dongying's Tomahawk missiles.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The missiles exploded with earth-shattering momentum, like setting off over thirty massive fireworks. Seeing this, the netizens of Shenzhou clapped and cheered, finding it very satisfying.

In the Dongying command center, the short commander's face turned ashen. He did not order any more missiles to be launched because the attitude of the Shenzhou authorities was already very clear: if Dongying dared to launch missiles, Shenzhou could too.

In this way, even if all of Dongying's missiles were launched, they would serve no purpose.

It was common knowledge that Shenzhou's missiles were top-tier globally. Even if the Great Beautiful Country wanted to engage in a missile duel with Shenzhou, they might not necessarily be the opponent, let alone the island nation of Dongying; the two sides were simply not on the same level.

Moreover, if Shenzhou were truly provoked and decided to take action against Dongying regardless of the cost, with Shenzhou's missile reserves, they wouldn't even need Meng Yifan to act; they could completely blast Dongying into ruins.

"Meng Yifan, let me go, and from now on, we will mind our own business," Susanoo said.

"There is an old saying in Shenzhou: those who offend Shenzhou, no matter how far away, shall be punished. Since you dared to step into the waters of Shenzhou, don't even think about leaving," Meng Yifan continued to wave the Ghost Head Blade, releasing blade auras to slice at Susanoo's body.

"Bastard, you forced me to do this. Then I have no choice but to use the God's Forbidden Technique and let us perish together." Susanoo stopped fleeing and instead turned to stand in the void. A crack suddenly opened in the center of his forehead, as if a third eye had grown there.

"God's Gaze!" Susanoo shouted loudly. The crack in his forehead suddenly opened wide, revealing a pure black eyeball. The eye was as black as ink, devoid of any emotion, making one's hair stand on end and filling one with awe.

This eyeball was the right eye of Susanoo's true self and was also a Yin-type Spirit Treasure. It was the core of the statue, containing the energy of Susanoo's true self, and could unleash a full-strength strike comparable to a Seventh Grade expert; this was the trump card of Susanoo's statue.

However, this move could only be used once and required the consumption of a large amount of Source Power. After using it, Susanoo's statue would fall into a deep slumber and would need to pass through long ages before it could awaken again.

Unless absolutely necessary, Susanoo really did not want to use this move, but Meng Yifan was bullying him too much and would not let him escape, so he had no choice but to fight to the death.

Susanoo's third eye suddenly opened wide and looked at Meng Yifan, like a high and mighty god looking down at an ant on the ground.

The sky over the East Sea had originally been bright and sunny, but the moment Susanoo's third eye opened, the sky turned black.

It was not a solar eclipse, nor were dark clouds blocking the sun; rather, the fiery red sun had turned black, just like Susanoo's third eye.
