527: The final battle!
Even after another decade, the Alien Battlefield still hadn't reached a decisive conclusion.
Perhaps it wasn't that these Cosmic Beasts weren't powerful enough or lacked broad perspectives; it was simply because some force was secretly manipulating everything.
As soon as the situation on the Alien Battlefield showed even a slight imbalance, another force would emerge to correct it, painstakingly maintaining the hard-won equilibrium.
Perhaps the final battle was destined to unfold.
This was not only a battle to decide the life and death of the two great universes but also one to determine the fate of all Cosmic Beasts.
When the wheel of destiny began to turn, anyone could be completely crushed into dust.
As key figures in the final battle, whether it was the Star Devouring Behemoth, the Heavensea God-King, or the Mechanical God-King disguised as Day Tiger, they all remained incredibly low-key, showing no discernible difference from other God-Kings.
However, it was often these seemingly harmless existences that were the most dangerous; they were like extremely patient hunters.
They wouldn't strike until they were ready, but once they did, they would shock all beasts.
Only when they truly bared their fangs would the other God-Kings realize how many trump cards they had hidden.
Facing such a somber atmosphere, the Heavensea God-King was the first to speak:
"It has, after all, come to this point—a point where we have no choice but to battle the Chaos Universe."
"In this battle, I only hope that everyone gives their all!"
Although God-Kings already possessed the qualification of immortality, once their own universe was destroyed, their strength would be greatly affected.
Although the Chaos Universe and the Origin Universe were twin universes with extremely similar rules,
if they didn't want to live a life under the thumb of others, oppressed by the Chaos Universe, then it was best for this battle to end in victory.
In fact, not only the Heavensea God-King but also those long-unseen God-Kings shared the same sentiment.
They seemed to have known long ago that the final battle was inevitable, having prepared for this moment for a long time, and some had even broken through their long-stagnant cultivation realms.
As a good friend of the Heavensea God-King, the Yao Ri God-King naturally stepped forward immediately to support the Heavensea God-King, saying:
"No matter what conflicts we usually have, in the face of such a major issue, I hope everyone can work together to secure victory in this battle."
"I believe none of you want to live a life under the thumb of others."
Some God-Kings felt this pre-battle pep talk was very necessary, while others scoffed.
Chaos immediately stepped forward and said, "More talk is useless; let's see who's stronger in action."
"Don't say I didn't warn you; if you don't strive now, you won't have a chance to later."
With that, Chaos wasted no more words with them and flew directly towards the battlefield that had been prepared for them for a long time.
And the opponent also seemed to have a Cosmic Beast with the same idea, flying directly out and quickly engaging Chaos in battle.
Looking at the familiar fiery-red figure, the Heavensea God-King was somewhat surprised, saying:
"The Blazing Sky God-King is still alive?"
"If so, the advantage we painstakingly gained has utterly vanished."
"No matter, victory must ultimately be fought for by ourselves; there's no room for luck."
With that, the Heavensea God-King no longer hesitated and charged towards the Mechanical God-King, who was disguised as Day Tiger.
Since balance could be maintained, the high-end combat power of the two great universes was already nearly equal.
Coupled with some God-Kings having old and new grudges, for a time, they simply engaged in a chaotic free-for-all.
God-King level battles were not spectacular, even far inferior to the visceral feeling of ordinary Cosmic Beasts' fist-to-flesh combat.
In such a super melee, the only thing they could rely on was their unique God King Laws, God King Laws with the highest priority.
Using ordinary laws would not only fail to harm other God-Kings but would instead be devoured by the opponent's God King Laws, transforming into the opponent's power.
As both sides continuously exerted their strength, for a time, countless divine lights, born from the collision of God King Laws, bloomed on the battlefield, dazzling and brilliant!
One day... five days... half a month!
This was destined to be an epic battle; only time could determine the victor.
Seemingly sparring with the Slaughter God-King in front of him, the Star Devouring Behemoth's attention was not on this seemingly powerful God-King.
Observing the overall situation—that was what the Star Devouring Behemoth needed to do.
However, as he observed, he detected a hint of something amiss.
The situation, which should have been evenly matched, or even an advantage for the Origin Universe, was inexplicably tilting towards the Chaos Universe.
Thinking of this, the Star Devouring Behemoth looked at the Heavensea God-King, who was locked in a fierce battle with Day Tiger; he always felt that the Heavensea God-King was putting on an act.
What kind of healer doesn't hide behind the main force to heal teammates but instead charges to the front lines of battle?
However, seeing the Heavensea God-King suppressing Day Tiger, the Star Devouring Behemoth felt awkward about telling him to come back.
He couldn't possibly say to the Heavensea God-King, "You're a healer; just focus on healing your teammates."
"Even if you can defeat your opponent, you still need to come back and heal your teammates."
Thinking of this, the Star Devouring Behemoth looked at Day Tiger with a hint of resentment, muttering that the Mechanical God-King was so weak that he couldn't even defeat the Heavensea God-King.
However, this was only a small part of the problem; Chaos, who seemed to be clamoring fiercely, was incredibly powerful with every move.
Yet, such a seemingly brave general was being suppressed by the Blazing Sky God-King, who was even weaker than himself.
Why do I feel like the whole world is putting on a show for me?
Thinking this, the Star Devouring Behemoth felt completely off, and unconsciously, he exerted a few more points of strength.
Though only a few points, they were a few points of the Star Devouring Behemoth's strength, which even the Slaughter God-King, renowned for slaughter, couldn't withstand; he was immediately repelled and sent flying backward.
It was also at this moment that Chaos, who was in the midst of battle, seemed to be running out of stamina, revealing a very obvious weakness.
Strike while the iron is hot!
The Blazing Sky God-King seemed intent on unleashing all the anger accumulated from being besieged in the past, suddenly erupting with full power. This strike actually forced Chaos to retreat repeatedly, even causing damage to his body.
Seeing Chaos injured, the Heavensea God-King finally remembered his role as a healer, immediately abandoning his attack on the Mechanical God-King and rushing towards the heavily injured Chaos.
Green life laws continuously emanated from the Heavensea God-King, rapidly soothing Chaos's injuries.
One move affects the whole body!
With one advancing and one retreating, the situation instantly changed.
Especially with Chaos and the Heavensea God-King hiding behind the Star Devouring Behemoth, the Star Devouring Behemoth directly became the target of three God-Kings' attacks.
Not only that, but the Ice Flame God-King suddenly erupted, directly freezing her opponent completely, and also rushed over to provide support.
Looking at the Star Devouring Behemoth who had once completely devoured him, the Blazing Sky God-King's eyes were filled with rage, and he roared furiously:
"Star Devouring Behemoth, the grudge of death is irreconcilable; it's time for reckoning."
"This time, there aren't so many God-Kings to help you, nor is Chaos blocking my way. I'll see today whether you die or I perish!"
"Heavenly Flame, burn everything to ashes!"
The next moment, the Blazing Sky God-King transformed into a giant fireball and fiercely launched an attack towards the Star Devouring Behemoth.
Facing the Blazing Sky God-King's furious strike, the Star Devouring Behemoth's eyes were full of disdain; he didn't even bother to reply.
Blazing Sky God-King? He was just a piece of trash that he had once devoured.
Since he had already mastered the Flame God King Laws, how could a mere Heavenly Flame possibly harm him?
And indeed, that was the case. Just as the Blazing Sky God-King frantically burned himself, attempting to burn the Star Devouring Behemoth to ashes as well, he discovered that his life-sustaining Heavenly Flame had no effect whatsoever on the Star Devouring Behemoth.
The Star Devouring Behemoth's beautiful scales quickly changed from grey-black to fiery-red, actually beginning to devour the Blazing Sky God-King in return.
The Blazing Sky God-King was stubborn, refusing to believe that he could be devoured by the Star Devouring Behemoth again.
But how could he know that with the Heavenly Flame no longer posing any threat to the Star Devouring Behemoth, the Star Devouring Behemoth could truly devour him however he pleased?
Fortunately, this was, after all, the final battle, not a one-on-one duel between the Blazing Sky God-King and the Star Devouring Behemoth.
Upon realizing that the situation was dire and the Blazing Sky God-King was once again in danger, a super great saber made of denilu alloy slashed towards the Star Devouring Behemoth. It was precisely Day Tiger, who had followed closely, launching an attack on the Star Devouring Behemoth.
A mere pseudo-God-King dares to attack me?
Facing Day Tiger's sudden attack, the Star Devouring Behemoth didn't even show any intention of dodging, instead planning to endure Day Tiger's great saber with his physical body.
Although this behavior seemed utterly suicidal, it was a display of the Star Devouring Behemoth's extreme confidence in his own strength.
He believed that the defensive power of his scales was simply not something a mere pseudo-God-King could break through.
No sooner said than done.
Day Tiger's great saber suddenly erupted with a brilliant light, and just as it was about to touch the Star Devouring Behemoth's body, Day Tiger applied several God King Laws to increase its power.
Pseudo-God-King? Sorry, I, Day Tiger, am no longer one!
Due to his carelessness, the Star Devouring Behemoth was directly breached by Day Tiger's great saber, creating a terrifying gash in his body.
He was actually injured?
Looking at the great saber embedded in his body, the Star Devouring Behemoth was somewhat incredulous.
He never expected that not only was he injured, but he was injured by the Mechanical God-King, who was recognized by both universes as the most useless God-King.
What was more troublesome was that, taking advantage of the Star Devouring Behemoth's momentary daze, the Blazing Sky God-King, who was originally being continuously devoured by the Star Devouring Behemoth, also found an opportunity and instantly broke free from the Star Devouring Behemoth's devouring power.
Not only that, but the Ice Flame God-King's ice flames surged rapidly towards the Star Devouring Behemoth's wound, actually coordinating with Day Tiger, intending to launch a fatal attack on the Star Devouring Behemoth.
Perhaps this was the best attacking opportunity?
Just as several God-Kings' eyes lit up, thinking this was the best time to annihilate the Star Devouring Behemoth, they never received Day Tiger's signal.
The time was not right!
If the Star Devouring Behemoth was truly that easy to kill, then it would never have grown into the final boss.
Sure enough, just as the Slaughter God-King's Slaughter Laws were about to launch a surprise attack while the Star Devouring Behemoth was injured and being besieged by other God-Kings, a green light suddenly illuminated the Star Devouring Behemoth's body, instantly healing all his injuries.
Not only that, but a terrifying flame directly rose from the Star Devouring Behemoth's body.
The terrifying high temperature, even the Blazing Sky God-King couldn't withstand its edge, retreating repeatedly.
Even the ice flames that barely managed to break through to his front were completely melted into nothingness.
The Star Devouring Behemoth, fighting one against four, not only didn't retreat but advanced, repelling all his opponents.
Such a situation immediately attracted the attention of all the God-Kings present.
What it meant to have such a powerful opponent appear on the other side, the God-Kings of the Chaos Universe surely knew better than anyone.
However, at this very moment, the Heavensea God-King seemed completely oblivious to the tense situation around him, saying with a serious expression:
"Star Devouring Behemoth, it's truly great that you have such strong power."
"I originally thought our Origin Universe wouldn't be able to win this final battle, but I never expected that you, such a powerful senior, were hidden among us."
"I believe that under your leadership, the Origin Universe will definitely achieve victory in this battle!"
This was definitely flattery intended to cause harm!
However, looking at the Heavensea God-King's incredibly innocent face, the Star Devouring Behemoth couldn't detect any other meaning.
The Heavensea God-King was inherently like the good-natured elder among the God-Kings; perhaps he simply felt that way when he said such words.
But these words greatly harmed the Star Devouring Behemoth, because he felt that the moment the Heavensea God-King's words fell, countless gazes had already locked onto him.
A very powerful God-King was hidden in the enemy camp.
What this situation meant, surely no God-King of the Chaos Universe, unless they were a fool, could fail to understand.
Silently giving the Heavensea God-King a thumbs up, Day Tiger thought to himself, 'Sure enough, when honest people turn cunning, no one else stands a chance.'
If he hadn't known that the Heavensea God-King was deliberately setting a trap for the Star Devouring Behemoth, perhaps even Day Tiger would have believed that the Heavensea God-King was simply stating his expectations for the Star Devouring Behemoth.
Facing the assist provided by the Heavensea God-King, Day Tiger didn't hesitate at all, immediately playing along and saying:
"I never expected such a powerful senior to be hidden in the Origin Universe. Even with my full power sneak attack, plus the assistance of three God-Kings, it wasn't successful."
"Perhaps the Star Devouring Behemoth is the strongest in the Origin Universe; we must deal with him as quickly as possible!"
Day Tiger's words were undoubtedly the heartfelt thoughts of all the God-Kings of the Chaos Universe. In an instant, two more God-Kings joined the ranks besieging the Star Devouring Behemoth.
Especially among the newly joined God-Kings, there was also the strongest God-King of the Chaos Universe—the Space Behemoth!
"Banish!"
Accompanying a majestic voice, the Space Behemoth's opponent was instantly banished to a distant place.
And the Space Behemoth also took advantage of the interval of banishing his opponent to arrive before the Star Devouring Behemoth.
The burning fighting spirit in his eyes indicated that he was definitely not coming with good intentions! (End of Chapter)
