127: Now! A devastating blow!!!

"Oh? Still not dead? You're pretty tough, aren't you?!"

Minamoto no Yoshinobu looked down at the Spider Emperor below, whose body was already a bloody mess with shattered carapace, yet it remained firmly rooted in place like a nail. The ferocious expression on his face twisted to the extreme!

A violent rage, incited by the stubborn resistance of an ant, grew wildly within him!

"Then I will... completely... finish you off!!! I'll turn you and your persistence... into dust together!!!"

Following his roar filled with killing intent, the Main Serpent Head of the Yamata no Orochi, which had completely achieved Fusion with his consciousness, suddenly raised its head to the sky and let out a hiss that tore through the clouds.

Its massive head lifted high, opening that terrifying maw capable of swallowing stars!

Zzzzzzz—!!!

Destructive energy gathered and compressed frantically in the maw of the Main Serpent Head at an unprecedented speed!

The surrounding air wailed, unable to withstand this power, and space itself began to slightly distort!

A beam of world-ending light, with a diameter far exceeding the previous one and entwined with the Aura of Chaos and darkness... was rapidly taking form!

The power contained in this strike... was enough to completely evaporate everything below!

Just at this critical moment—the space above Su Chen's head rippled violently without warning!

Swish!

Aria's figure flashed out instantly!

Her face was pale, and there was even a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth from forcibly tearing through space.

Behind her, an extremely unstable, violet-colored spatial rift, with edges constantly collapsing and reforming, was emitting a wail of being overwhelmed!

"Big Guy!!! Go!!! Come with me, quickly!!!"

Aria's voice became sharp from extreme anxiety, her sharp spider legs pointing toward the rift behind her.

"You absolutely cannot withstand this strike! I can't hold this temporary passage for long!!!"

However, the charred and broken Spider Emperor below only slightly raised its almost crushed head, the flames of unyielding spirit still burning in its compound eye.

"Leave?"

Su Chen's voice was hoarse but carried a heart-stopping calmness.

"If I haven't... completely killed this big snake... how could I leave?!"

"You—!!!"

Aria trembled with anger, one of her sharp legs unable to resist stabbing fiercely at Su Chen's shattered carapace, making a clanging sound.

"He is Cthulhu's right leg! An Incarnation of a god! You actually dare to dream of slaying a god?! You are absolutely, completely insane!!!"

Just amidst Aria's almost desperate rebuke—

"Die—!!!"

Minamoto no Yoshinobu let out a crazy, triumphant sneer, certain of his victory!

The world-ending light beam gathered by the Main Serpent Head had reached its peak, and with the power to judge all things, the serpent head suddenly pressed down!

That dark beam of light, capable of annihilating everything... like a falling star of death... slammed down toward Su Chen and Aria!!!

Before the beam arrived, the terrifying pressure already made Aria feel suffocated! The shield around her was instantly covered in cracks!

"It's over..."

Aria's black hair danced wildly in the destructive energy gale.

Looking at the light of death rushing toward her, filling her entire field of vision, a trace of despair flashed in her beautiful violet eyes, and she closed them instinctively...

At such close range... with such absolute overwhelming power...

let alone saving Su Chen...

even she herself... would be annihilated... by this one strike...

However!

In this split second!

Su Chen, who had been dormant and enduring endless attacks... the only remaining front spider leg, which he had deliberately protected beneath his body and never used... suddenly moved!

The tip of that spider leg... had long since gathered an imperceptible yet profoundly deep... spatial fluctuation!!!

A sharp, piercing light that seemed to penetrate the Void Realm erupted from Su Chen's broken compound eye!

"This is... it!!!"

Swish—!!!

The front spider leg, poised and ready, struck out with speed beyond thought, like a long-dormant viper!

At the tip of the spear, a twisting force field that tore through space was entwined—A+ Rank Skill: Vortex of Eternal Calamity: Myriad Realm Severance!

Activate!!!

This strike... had no grand momentum... no dazzling light... only a kind of ultimate... restraint and lethality!

Pfft—!!!!

A faint yet incredibly clear sound, like a sharp blade cutting through wet cloth, rang out!

The spider leg traced an arcane trajectory... silently... passing by the underside of the Yamata no Orochi's Main Serpent Head... the thickest part, which also connected to its core consciousness... the vital neck!!!

Time... seemed to freeze at this moment.

The ferocious, wild laughter on Minamoto no Yoshinobu's face froze instantly!

Replacing it was a kind of extreme bewilderment, absurdity... and... rapidly growing horror!

He felt... his connection to the Main Serpent Head, to that massive Divine Power... was... being severed rapidly?!

Whoosh—!

The world-ending light beam that had already reached the tips of Aria's and Su Chen's noses, exuding an Aura of destruction... because of the sudden loss of control of its energy core... flickered violently like a punctured balloon... and then... collapsed with a boom!

It turned into dark energy light spots drifting across the sky... dissipating into nothingness...

The destruction Aria had anticipated did not come.

Her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes...

What entered her sight... was a scene that made even her Soul tremble!

There, in front of her...

at the neck of the Yamata no Orochi's massive Main Serpent Head... a thin line, smooth as a mirror and shimmering with the Aura of spatial annihilation... slowly emerged...

The next second...

rumble...

that head, as massive as a mountain, controlling the other seven secondary heads and radiating Minamoto no Yoshinobu's consciousness fluctuations... slowly separated from the massive body...

Boom!!!!!!!!!!

The Main Serpent Head, having lost its support... carrying Minamoto no Yoshinobu's face, which was frozen in an expression of disbelief... like a falling star... heavily... smashed into the churning seawater below!!!

The resulting water column shot straight into the sky!!!

Divine blood filled the sky... like a bursting celestial river... gushing wildly from the severed neck!

Dyeing both the sky and the sea surface into an eerie dark gold!!!

"Awooo—!!!"

"Roar—!!!"

"Hiss—!!!"

The Main Serpent Head was severed, losing its unified command and the support of its core will!

The remaining seven secondary serpent heads... seemed to instantly lose their backbone... and simultaneously let out shrill, miserable wails filled with Chaos, pain, and bewilderment!!!

They twisted frantically, colliding with each other... the once coordinated massive body... instantly lost its balance...

Rumbling—!!!

The hundred-thousand-meter-long terrifying serpent body... like the collapsing Mount Buzhou... with an Aura capable of crushing everything... began... slowly... to topple toward the sea!!!

The resulting tsunami... was more terrifying than any before!!!

It was as if the entire ocean was wailing for it!

Aria instinctively raised her hand to condense an energy shield, blocking the oncoming bloody storm.

With her other hand, she tightly covered her red lips, her beautiful eyes widened to their limit, filled with indescribable horror and... disbelief!

"Big Guy... you... you actually... really did it..."
