Chapter 4257

A cold voice came from behind the several beings.

The several people instantly fell silent. With constraint and reverence on their faces, they turned around and offered a salute, then said in unison, "By the Heavenly Emperor's command!"

The next instant, terrifyingly extreme energy erupted from within their bodies.

The three beings at this moment truly displayed the bearing of divine beings, boundless light bursting from their entire bodies... or perhaps great Dao imprints surfacing, or perhaps supreme laws manifesting... They took a single step forward and charged straight into the battlefield.

"Now it's finally getting a little interesting."

Naiyazi hovered high above the heavens. She laughed, and the eerie, sinister avatar behind her shifted from half-virtual half-corporeal and completely solidified into a physical form.

The eerie avatar let out an eerily unnameable, shrill shriek and crashed down with a thunderous roar.

Countless frigid tentacles lashed down in a flash, even blasting apart the void as they whipped. The aftershocks pulverized several stars, while the main body of the tentacles sent the charging Thor and Amaterasu flying.

"Interesting."

Amaterasu's body flew backward, smashing through star after star, before she forcibly halted herself midair.

She lowered her head and looked at the part of her body that had been struck—there, eerie flesh buds were spreading.

Amaterasu's brows snapped upright. With a light sweep of her palm, black flames burned forth and instantly incinerated that portion of her body completely.

"This is the first time I've encountered a strong one with such potent contamination... However, although the aura on the other side is bizarre, it does indeed contain divine power.

Could it be a powerhouse from some other divine pantheon as well?"

The instant Amaterasu raised her head, she discovered that the scene around her had become: bizarre. "... What?"

The stars in the distance, in Amaterasu's eyes... had all become: as if bizarre stars composed of flesh and blood.

The warriors of the two sides fighting each other on the great earth also could no longer be discerned as having human forms—they seemed like creatures composed purely of flesh and blood, slaughtering each other.

"What... is going on?"

Amaterasu's pupils abruptly dilated. She realized she could no longer understand those... sounds that rang out across the battlefield.

Those... voices that had been human before, the moment they fell into her ears now, had transformed into the whispers of evil gods.

"The entire world has become: bizarre—no! The enemy couldn't possibly be attacking their own side's forces..."

Amaterasu suddenly realized, and instinctively shivered. Her face became: extremely unsightly. "The reason the heaven and earth I see have become: so bizarre, is because of me."

It wasn't only Amaterasu—Thor was the same.

The heaven and earth they saw had become: bizarre and distorted.

On the surface, they had promptly removed the parts of their bodies contaminated by the evil god, but in reality... the bodily contamination was secondary. What was most terrifying was the spiritual contamination... And after their spirits were contaminated, when they looked upon this heaven and earth before them... they would discover that the heaven and earth before them had become completely evil and bizarre... Normal stars, in their eyes, transformed into bizarre flesh-balls piled together from flesh and blood, and the warriors of both sides fighting on the battlefield all transformed into bizarre creatures of strange forms in their eyes... Even the battle cries exchanged by the warriors of both sides on the battlefield... when they fell into their ears, likewise transformed into bizarre, evil utterances.

Before the vast spatial rift.

The Divine Heavenly Emperor looked down expressionlessly at the area below. On the surface he was cold and ruthless, but his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Because at this moment, Thor's and Amaterasu's bodies were continuously distorting, continuously transforming into bizarre creatures. Thor was presently gradually transforming into a tentacled octopus-monster, while behind Amaterasu, spider legs were shooting out one after another... Sharp shrieks issued from their mouths, and with savage expressions they charged forward to kill.

However, this time, those they harmed were not the guild forces on Su Han's side.

Instead, no matter...

Whatever they encountered... they slaughtered their way through it all.

Friend and foe alike, they killed them all! It was as if they had gone completely mad.

"Cthulhu... divine pantheon! The mutation has begun... these two idiots have been completely contaminated!"

A tidal wave surged in the Divine Heavenly Emperor's heart.

On one hand, he was furious that these two were so useless; on the other hand, an almost imperceptible dread also welled up within him... because... with the knowledge currently in his mind, he could not conceive of any method that could make the two break free from this bizarre state...
