Chapter 380

Ding ding ding ding—

Beams of light extinguished one after another.

Those thousand beams of light vanished one by one.

But Monte's aura grew ever deeper.

The surviving swarm seemed to sense the threat, all turning their direction to prepare an attack on this being ascending to Forbiddance.

But the earth erupted with beams of blood-red light!

Directly dissolving entire swathes of the swarm.

Blood formed a curtain, wrapping Monte.

No swarm could penetrate this curtain.

"I am blood, and I am flesh; I am born from the embryo, executing my own good and evil."

Pfft—

From behind Monte.

The embryo, wrapped in layers of flesh like petals.

Finally bloomed open piece by piece.

And within it, a giant infant with no skin, its entire body composed only of blood-red muscle, was born forth.

【Flesh Demon Infant】

【Grade: Super-Mythical】

【Tier: Forbiddance】

On this planet, those lords were all stunned.

Just now, they had launched one final 【Final Spatial Fission Strike】.

This was a strike capable of disturbing space, creating massive spatial fragments, and dragging entire swathes of the swarm into a shattered void.

It was also their most powerful area-of-effect damage.

However, this was also their final 【Fission Energy】.

After this use, they would have no capacity to clear the field again.

But this use.

seemed to have blasted out a strange existence.

This human, outside their city walls.

Beneath countless swarms.

Doing who knows what.

But the situation looked extremely terrifying.

Vast swathes of the swarm were completely unable to harm him in the slightest.

"Th-that... what is that?"

At the same time, an indescribable aura changed upon him, 703.

Beams of light extinguished one after another.

Also signaling the ritual's continuous completion.

In fact, Monte was already extremely formidable.

He could be called a genius.

He had not obtained the complete Forbiddance inscriptions.

He merely, through exploration, research, and experimentation, discovered these mysteries himself.

Equivalent to, through his own efforts, recreating the achievements of antiquity.

Just this point alone was already extraordinary.

But suddenly.

Bang!

When the seventy-third beam of light from the countdown remained.

This beam of light did not extinguish.

The remaining beams of light, however, continued to extinguish.

Monte felt a violent emotion fill his mind.

"As expected, there is still a problem in the core of this region."

This was the minor flaw he had anticipated.

But he had not found a perfect solution.

If perfection were desired.

It might require tearing down the entire edifice of theory and starting over.

A hair's breadth off, and the error spans a thousand miles.

But Monte had neither time nor patience to start from the beginning again.

He must ascend to Forbiddance.

Otherwise, even lifespan alone would not see him outlast those ordinary lords.

His age had already approached his maximum lifespan.

Bang!

As the final beam of light extinguished.

Monte straightened his body.

He had fully ascended to the 【Forbidden Lord】.

…………

"Ah."

"Time's up."

Lu Cang wondered if the Beast King was trying to stall him for some reason?

Did he really think the ten minutes Lu Cang mentioned was his peak combat power?

What Lu Cang had meant was actually his lowest combat power.

To the Beast King, Lu Cang was already very strong.

Strong enough that he might have forcibly boosted his power to this level through some special means.

(bced)

But the Beast King could never have imagined.

This was Lu Cang's weakest, lowest combat power.

This power level was achieved without deploying any troops, and with CPU capacity locked by the Nest upgrade.

Once this time passed.

All one could say was…

Sorry.

I am stronger than you imagined.

【Nest Ascension Complete】

【Current Nest Tier: Eighth Tier】

【Lord Abilities: Physical Enhancement, Mental Enhancement, Perception Enhancement, Flesh Dissection, Imitation】

【Nest Abilities…】

Lu Cang did not need to check what new abilities he had gained.

Lu Cang only knew that strength surged into his body continuously.

【Ninth-Tier Dreamlike Savage Strength Physiology】

【Ninth-Tier Dreamlike Mental Being Spirit】

【Ninth-Tier Dreamlike Sensing Being Perception】

The three enhancements stacked together.

Lu Cang felt he was now.

More savage and powerful than when he fought Lord Aoshan.

With every sweeping motion, he might directly crush an entire region.
