Chapter 365: Descent of the Evil God

The Chaos Sage and the others each unleashed a round of powerful attacks, shattering Tao Baibai's body. Zhou Si felt a sense of relief; the Eye of Lightning was a powerful natural arm, and using it consumed a considerable amount of energy.

He turned around, saw severed limbs flying, and knew that Archimedes' magic had taken effect.

As he retreated to create distance and began swapping the arm on his body, he knew that Tao Baibai possessed a certain degree of Immortality and Super-Speed Regeneration—this was Intelligence they already had.

But they had not failed to encounter Reincarnators with such Bloodlines before; for low-level Reincarnators, so-called Immortality and regeneration abilities were difficult to deal with.

However, in the eyes of high-level Reincarnators and powerful Plot Characters, it was nothing of note.

The dark arm Cage Bird appeared on his finger. For a guy with a certain degree of Immortality, besides using high-magnitude abilities to blast them to death head-on, restricting the opponent's mobility and keeping them in a state of continuous death was the most convenient method.

He was just about to activate it when a chill suddenly emerged.

It was his combat intuition honed through life-and-death struggles; he instinctively tapped his toes, his figure exploding backward several hundred meters, while he loudly spoke to issue a warning.

"Watch out, Tao Baibai he..."

"Everyone pull back, his arm is problematic, my Magic didn't take effect!"

Archimedes' roar was far more urgent and tense than Zhou Si's.

Archimedes, holding that +7 level naginata, slashed fiercely once more; the air and the earth instantly split into a thousand-meter chasm, the ground appearing as fragile as mud before him.

He watched as Tao Baibai's severed limbs fell into the chasm, especially that intact Left Eye!

Archimedes' Magic was named "Zoltraak (the magic that cuts almost everything)," from the world of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

This Magic was quite terrifying, capable of cutting anything the user believed they could cut.

It was a typical powerful spell possessing idealistic traits.

To carry this ability to the extreme, Archimedes had specifically altered his own personality and cognition under the ability of the Chaos Sage; he had become extremely arrogant.

The Magic system of the Frieren: Beyond Journey's End world was rooted in the mage's imagination, or rather, it was a form of "Observation"; mages had to be able to imagine the effect of their Magic to carry it out.

Archimedes could imagine the scene of himself cutting the earth, so whether it was one hundred meters, one thousand meters, or several thousand meters of earth, as he swung his blade with Magic Power erupting, it would be cut like butter.

No matter how hard Tao Baibai's Armament Haki and body were, if he could imagine the image of shredding the opponent's flesh, he could cut it.

With this Magic, even an assassination art like the Seven Nights Assassination Art of C+ level would erupt with terrifying lethality.

But after Archimedes used this Magic this time, he discovered that what he imagined had deviated.

Tao Baibai had indeed been cut by him; his internal organs and bones were completely severed, and blood sprayed out.

But in Archimedes' imagination, he should have cut the opponent into thousands of pieces of flesh, then coordinated with incineration-type abilities to rapidly consume the opponent's regenerative power.

In reality, he had only cut him into dozens of pieces, and that arm... it couldn't be cut at all.

His own Magic had collided with that left arm, and nothing had happened.

A Biological Colonization Armor that ignores Magic?!

Archimedes and Zhou Si's warning made the Red Queen and Indra instantly alert and retreat, while Left Eye, who only revealed one eye, closed his eyes and crouched while pressing on his blade.

His whole person seemed to have entered a state of deathly silence, his presence completely vanishing.

Sizzle!

The Eye of Lightning was triggered again, and bolts of lightning fell from the sky into the chasm; Zhou Si began continuous bombardment and suppression.

The red-haired youth Indra also saw his figure begin to change; his hair started to grow longer, and his physique also expanded bit by bit.

The Chaos Sage and the others were all very experienced veteran Reincarnators, and their response was very tacit.

Boom!

From within the huge chasm, a strong burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted.

It swept through the surroundings like a storm.

That momentum was extremely astonishing; the Red Queen bore the brunt of it. She held up a purple-red shield with both hands, hiding her body behind it, and continuously chanted prayers, adding layers of blessings to herself.

Her body was continuously strengthened, with various Barriers added.

Suddenly, a scarlet left hand reached out from the chasm; that arm was so thick it didn't look like a human arm, the muscles bursting out inch by inch, the meridians appearing twisted like a giant snake.

Pfft!

As that hand emerged from the ground, the terrifying Conqueror's Haki struck even more intensely. The Red Queen's hair scattered, but she stared ahead with a solemn expression.

Her highest attribute was Constitution, which had broken through 60 points under the support of performance; it wasn't considered particularly outstanding among Reincarnators of their level, but the Red Queen was a Paladin, and under the support of various Divine Arts, she could bring her other three dimensional attributes close to 40 points.

She was a Defense Specialization Reincarnator with no weaknesses.

"Be careful, Red Queen, this guy is a bit off..."

Zhou Si's Magic Power consumption was severe, and blue smoke had already begun to rise from the Eye of Lightning; that level of lightning strike was enough to completely extinguish the vitality of some so-called immortal bodies.

But it seemed completely useless against Tao Baibai.

Bang!

Amidst a huge sound, that left hand pulled hard, and a massive body over three meters tall flew up and slammed into the ground.

A scarlet luster, not knowing whether it was Qi or a Wave, completely surrounded this body, becoming increasingly intense; in a moment, Tao Baibai's bizarre figure was completely invisible.

Replacing it was a scarlet Monster of even larger size, with visible malice continuously spraying toward the surroundings.

Around that phantom, red lightning flickered in and out, crackling continuously.

This is...

The Red Queen looked at that lightning, and just as she was about to analyze it, she saw a scarlet gaze from within the phantom meet her own eyes.

Pfft~

Her chest felt tight, and blood instantly flowed from her nose and mouth.

【You have encountered the influence of the Omen of the Evil God; based on your Spirit attribute, you can obtain the following information:】

【You have been affected by Evil God's Omen: Arrogant Gaze, and are undergoing a Strength check】

【Check failed, you have suffered a Strength impact】

Omen of the Evil God... is this Tao Baibai's trump card? Arrogant Gaze... Strength check... is Tao Baibai a Reincarnator whose Strength has broken through the Extreme Value...

The Red Queen had a powerful Constitution; she merely wiped away the bloodstains, but the next moment, she immediately realized something was wrong and turned to look at the others.

Zhou Si, who was standing several hundred meters behind him, suddenly burst into blood all over and slowly fell backward.

Left Eye, who was in a crouching iaido sword-drawing stance, was also spraying blood from his mouth and nose, teetering on the verge of collapse.

Archimedes, flying in the air, blocked in front of himself with both hands, only dropping a short distance without being injured, while Indra, whose figure had fully grown to one meter ninety, was also bleeding all over.

Just a single exchange of glances had almost completely crippled their entire squad?!

What kind of ability is this?!

"Cover them, Red Queen! This ability is linked to strength values; protect Zhou Si and Left Eye!"

Archimedes shouted loudly, leaping high from the air, his great blade already raised once more.

The scarlet gaze was cast again, and Red Queen felt a shock in her heart—can this 【Arrogant Sight】 be used continuously?!

【Cover】!

Subconsciously, she activated her ability, intending to fly over and stand before Zhou Si and Left Eye to share the damage for them.

But the next moment, a peculiar Spirit crashed into her sea of consciousness with a boom.

In her trance, she saw an extremely handsome face; she could not make out any details, but a surge of joy and pleasure, intense to the Extreme Value, welled up within her body.

Her movements paused accordingly.

Pfft!

Blood burst forth from Zhou Si's entire body; his fragile frame could no longer resist the impact of the second Arrogant Sight, and all the blood vessels in his body ruptured in an instant, his form collapsing.

In his eyes filled with disbelief, Left Eye, who should have drawn his sword to cover him, and Red Queen, who was protecting his spellcasting, were both standing there dazed with flushed faces.

You have to be kidding me... Damn it, did we fall for Tao Baibai's special ability... Damn it, this guy... is so strong...

As his consciousness sank into darkness, the 【Cage Bird】 curse-type dark arm on Zhou Si's finger fell off limply; he had died before he could even trigger it.
