Chapter 2963

The cavern was spacious enough to accommodate everyone for the final battle, and all of them stood at the edge of the cavern, which still appeared somewhat empty; the fallen deity at the center filled that void.

"Roar!!"

The fallen deity let out a roar, having fully awakened; calling it completely unconscious is not accurate.

The accumulated evil over many years had formed a relatively simple consciousness within this husk, and this consciousness now had only one thought: to kill every living thing within its sight.

Linlong Alick transformed into a blur, breaking through layers of sonic booms before lunging at the fallen deity, straight for its chest.

With a boom, Alick's scaled claws pierced the center of the fallen deity's chest, aiming to penetrate the desiccated flesh wrapped around it, then shatter the bones and destroy the heart core within the chest cavity.

Like a supersonic biological warplane crashing into the fallen deity's chest, its body only recoiled slightly, lowering its head to look at Alick, who had stabbed with one hand into its chest.

With a crack, Alick's right-hand scaled claws and fingers shattered, his right hand a bloody mess, exposing only half of the finger bones, with blood threads still visible.

The fallen deity's massive claw tore through a blur, leaving a fire trail in midair before seizing Alick with one hand.

"Oh no."

From dozens of meters away, Guangmu saw this scene: a curved white energy line connecting her and Alick, one end in her palm, the other sinking into Alick's back heart.

This is the "Frenzied Luxuriant Growth" ability; normally, it causes the target's vitality to overflow, but now it does not—after enduring the attack, Alick surviving would be lucky; how could vitality overflow?

Boom!

Orange-yellow flames exploded in the fallen deity's hand; Alick, gripped in its palm, gritted his teeth without uttering a sound of pain, his life points instantly dropping to 1.5%, triggering a certain life-saving item.

The next moment, Alick's life points recovered at a perverse rate of 35% per second; his scorched body began shedding scales, growing new flesh and dragon scales.

Alick was somewhat dazed by the blast; from first to eighth rank, he had never encountered such a situation—the enemy was no longer something he could instantly kill, but could kill him, a power-type, in a few exchanges; without life-saving items, he would have died just then.

In fact, without Guangmu's follow-up healing, Alick would have died from internal burning even if he had a life-saving item.

During Alick's attack, the contractors' various assaults bombarded the fallen deity, effective but minimal.

Abilities that once could heavily wound eighth-rank foes now, when striking the fallen deity, left at most marks on its surface.

Under the combined attack of over a hundred contractors, the fallen deity's life points dropped by 5.72%, less than what it recovered in two seconds—utterly desperate.

Guangmu wanted to try using her poison milk ability to poison the fallen deity to death, but considering the fallen deity was completely invulnerable during this period, she gave up; enduring poison milk during this time equated to having invulnerability, invincibility, and a super vitality burst.

The fallen deity failed to kill Alick with one strike; just as everyone thought Alick had snatched life, it raised its arm and slammed Alick toward the ground.

"Blade Dao Knife·Flow."

Clang!

A graceful wind trace sliced across, precisely striking the fallen deity's right shoulder, at the junction of arm bone and shoulder bone.

"Go die for me!"

The soaring Sweet Orange slammed down with a fist; her small fist pounded the fallen deity's shoulder, boom and shock spreading simultaneously, the fallen deity's body tilting, its claw holding Alick successfully releasing him.

"Hey."

Having rescued a temporary teammate, Sweet Orange wore a hint of pride on her small face; the next moment, a howling sound came from ahead, a massive claw slamming down, still ablaze with fire.

Bang!

Sweet Orange in midair vanished, sinking into the rear rock wall, leaving only a human-shaped hole, its edges still showing traces of blood.

The initial skirmish barely held steady; afterward came the siege.

"Hack this monster to pieces!"

"Don't fear, the captain is right beside us."

One named elite pirate shouted, belonging to the duke and empress; at this moment, the duke's height exceeded three meters, his entire body silver-gray fur, half-man half-wolf.

The empress stood dozens of meters away, holding a long flintlock gun made of bone, covered in blood-red patterns.

Not only the elite pirates, but all cursed people also rushed forward, joining the battle.

The pirates and cursed people were basically melee fighters, at most firing a gun while running, boosting morale.

In an instant, the fallen deity was drowned by the sea of human tactics; since the cursed people's attacks carried true damage, its life points dropped rapidly, the desiccated flesh on its legs hacked into large patches of fine wounds and marks.

The surrounding attacks never ceased on the fallen deity; a magic-system contractor held a staff, his usual ability to instantly pierce enemies now, when striking the enemy, felt like squirting people with a water gun.

This magic-system contractor doubted his life, repeatedly glancing at his immortal-grade staff, confirming he hadn't taken the wrong weapon—it was the 1260-rated immortal-grade staff he had recently bought.

In the melee, the fallen deity's tolerance for attacks was strong; the earlier blows from Linlong Alick and Sweet Orange only made its body tremble slightly.

Now facing attacks from nearby cursed people and pirates, the fallen deity still stood firm, its massive claw pressing down, activating the Earth Vein Flame Rush ability.

Bang!

The rocky ground cracked over a large area, a shockwave spreading out, launching many nearby pirates and cursed people into the air.

The flames on the fallen deity's right arm vanished, all flowing into the ground through its palm; the rock fissures around its claw turned fire-red, even magma oozing from these spiderweb-like cracks.

Flames infused into the earth veins, the fallen deity's right claw seemed adhered to the ground by fire; it pulled its arm with full force, the contact point between palm and ground like cupping, emitting a dull "boop" as it drew fire from the earth veins.

Whoosh!

The fire ring spread, scorching heat making people instinctively want to close their eyes to avoid corneal burns.

As the fire ring just spread, nearby pirates were burned to death by the hundreds, screaming and rolling; some turned into charred skeletons midair, and due to the strong impact, these skeletons instantly became gray bone ash.

The fallen deity's "Earth Vein Flame Rush" ability—no, this cupping fist technique—is truly terrifyingly strong, and even more terrifying is what comes next.

Only see the fallen deity's hands gathering fire; it first slapped the ground with its right hand, then pulled, causing the fire ring from the cupping fist technique to spread, but due to short charge time, this fire ring spread less than ten meters.

Don't think this attack by the fallen deity is weak; its massive left hand will soon slam down, and the next moment, the fire ring will spread.

Bang! Bang! Bang……

The fallen deity, in a forward-crawling posture, slapped the ground with both hands continuously while pushing forward, beginning the continuous cupping fist technique.

"This is……a nightmare?"

An elite pirate looked up, gazing at the approaching fallen deity; this pirate had given up, feeling it was divine punishment for his evil deeds—the cries and pleas of innocent women in alleys, his mocking laughter, or civilians kneeling before him while he severed their children's heads.

Thinking of this, the pirate released his grip on the sailor's knife, fell with a plop to his knees, and at this moment chose repentance.

Boom!

The fallen deity slapped down with a claw, crushing the kneeling pirate into powder, scattering as black bone ash.

Compared to others, Alec was the unluckiest at this moment for some unknown reason—the fallen deity had actually set its sights on him, pursuing him relentlessly and slapping him from behind. The fire ring caused by the Cupping Fist technique kept spreading, and Alec was like a tiny boat in a sea of fire, about to be swallowed by the flames at any moment.

"Why are you chasing me, old man!!"

Alec, serving as the tank, didn't know that his painful journey had only just begun; the fallen deity had three stages of form, and at this moment it was in its first stage.
