Chapter 178: Fabuti

In a situation where all things were regressing and time itself was flowing backward, those few Demigods remained completely unaffected, which made the light of Fate in Ouroboros's eyes even more urgent.

He was actively utilizing his own "Prophet" ability to peer into the future.

Hum!

The altar returned to its primitive state and was dismantled; the ritual was naturally interrupted. Those few Demigods performing the ritual suddenly turned their heads to look at Ouroboros, their black eyes reflecting illusory and brilliant stars.

These Demigods revealed their Mythical Forms; they were demons of various shapes, but all shared exaggerated, sharp teeth and huge bat wings.

On the demons' bodies and teeth were rust-colored, dark red runes, as if blood were flowing, igniting crimson flames, and the sulfurous scent unique to the Abyss permeated the air.

"Medici! Don't!" Just before Medici was about to plunge his sword into the bodies of the Demigods, Ouroboros shouted suddenly. His Luck caused Medici to step on a stone that formed the altar, causing his figure to falter and stop in time.

"What are these things?!" Medici's Hunter intuition was also throbbing.

These things seemed somewhat unexpected; despite being only Demigods, they gave even a King of Angels a feeling of heart-palpitating dread.

"On them..." Ouroboros closed his eyes directly, not daring to peer any further, "there is Corruption, intense Corruption!"

"They come from the Abyss, from the Starry Sky!"

Ouroboros's eyes were tightly shut; his powerful Spirituality intuition allowed him to close his eyes in time, avoiding looking directly at the horror behind the Corruption.

"Deal with them first!" Medici decisively reached out to summon a violent storm, instantly freezing the few demons.

These demons were vessels for the Corruption, but their own Sequence was not high, only Sequence 4.

In the Blood Sect or even the Abyss, these could become high-level members; they were used as vessels only because the level of the Corruption was too high and required Godhood to bear it.

Crack!

The solid ice was being melted by the crimson flames, and the Corruption was seeping out.

Medici's ability could freeze the Demigods inside to death, but it could not extinguish the flames carrying the Corruption.

Ouroboros reached out, and the Spirit World and the Real World suddenly overlapped. His Luck allowed him to summon suitable Spirit World creatures from the Spirit World.

"Exile!"

The Spirit World creature summoned by Ouroboros possessed the "Exile" ability similar to that of a Demigod of the "Door" Pathway, acting upon the demons encased in solid ice.

The boundary between the Spirit World and Reality was blurred; Ouroboros was going to teleport them to the Battlefield of the Gods!

That was the battlefield where the gods assassinated the Creator, and the residual power was enough to imprison or even erase this Corruption.

But at a certain moment, the Spirit World creature in front of Ouroboros was suddenly covered by a layer of Shadow, turning from gentle to irritable, and then grew terrifying, hideous fangs, biting at Ouroboros.

"Fallen"!

This Spirit World creature had completely fallen into a demon, both in body and spirit, turning against its temporary master.

Hiss!

A blood-red sword light flashed; the Spirit World creature was entangled by a sword beam and shattered directly into dozens of pieces.

Medici caused the effect of a Harvest with a casual swing of his sword.

"There is also... a Curse!" A strained voice sounded in the ears of Medici and the other.

A mummy appeared here without warning, looking at the shredded Spirit World creature.

The demon's blood surged, transforming into a powerful force of Curse.

Medici, who had already been downgraded to Sequence 2, was the first to be hit, and the armor on his body was suddenly stained with black smudges.

Ouroboros narrowly escaped the Corruption, and the mummy did not suffer any damage.

"It's Fabuti!"

Medici determined the enemy instantly from the Curse on his body.

Demon Monarch Fabuti, this was an Ancient God who had existed since the Second Epoch, whose defining traits were Destruction and Fallen.

During the rise of the Ancient Sun God, he was treated as an unstable factor and killed off early, even effectively becoming the first line of defense against Outer Gods, guarding the Abyss.

And in the Fourth Epoch, he had seeped his power through believers of the Blood Sect, calling himself the "Universe Dark Side," developing believers, and recovering the power of a True God.

"It is... Him!" The mummy nodded imperceptibly.

The space where the mummy was located suddenly erupted with boiling, viscous black liquid. These liquids eroded the void, interfered with the interval between Reality and the Spirit World, and caused them to overlap.

And those few demons were also falling toward the Spirit World, while on the other side was the Battlefield of the Gods, and Torz was also performing an Exile.

"You have finally appeared!"

A terrifying voice suddenly reached the minds of the three Angels, and endless malice drowned them, causing their mental states to lose balance and head toward losing control!

Among the demons that broke free from the solid ice, one had eyes flickering with blood-colored flames.

He was a projection of Demon Monarch Fabuti!

His initial plan was to sacrifice the Corruption of the Outer God and his own projection to Torz.

There were two purposes for doing this: one was to scheme for the Beyonder Characteristic and Unique on Torz, and the second was that even if it could not succeed, he would spill the Corruption onto Torz.

This was to drag Torz into resisting the Corruption of the "Mother Tree of Desire," entangling the power of the "Mother Tree of Desire," and winning a chance for himself to escape the seal of the Abyss.

If the sacrifice did not succeed, he would also make these sources of Corruption explode on the spot, completely defiling this piece of land.

This would cause the power of the "Mother Tree of Desire" in the Real World to further strengthen and attract the attention of the gods.

However, this was probably also the reason why the "Mother Tree of Desire" tacitly allowed Fabuti to concentrate the Corruption on a few demons.

In any case, the winner would be the "Mother Tree of Desire"!

The only thing Fabuti did not expect was to lose to Luck; had Ouroboros arrived a few minutes later, his sacrifice would have been completed.

"Die!" Fabuti's blood-colored eyes landed on Medici and the others, his voice carrying an intense sense of Curse.

Even a King of Angels would find it difficult to resist such power, their spirit feeling as if it were trapped deep in an Abyss with extremely harsh conditions.

"Restart"!

Ouroboros decisively restarted again, including Medici and himself, and the Curse on his body was constantly fading.

And Torz himself also controlled the Authority of Curse, so such power did not have much effect on him.

The mummy's eyes stared fixedly at the other sources of Corruption besides Fabuti, and a Transformation Curse erupted, turning them all into harmless rabbits.

It was just that this Curse, which could almost Seal the majority of extraordinary abilities, was completely ineffective; the status of the Corruption was too high, making it utterly helpless!

"Explode!" The blood-colored light in Fabuti's eyes leaped, intending to release the Corruption completely.

"Stop!"

It was likewise the power of language; Filthy Words and Demonic Babble, two equally powerful forces, collided.

The Whisperer of the Abyss Pathway and the Corruptor Elder of the Hanged Man Pathway, both of these Sequences are prominent in the power of language.

Now, these two types of power were colliding at the level of a True God!
