1735: Chapter 1731: Hunting-dragon 1735: Chapter 1731: Hunting-dragon The nicknas for the three World-Destroying Evil Gods were quickly cented.
The one flying northward was nad the “Blood-Winged Golden Crow.” Clearly, this nickna was derived from Eastern Country mythology.
Considering its temperature had already reached the level where it could slt steel in seconds, the na was quite fitting.
The headless beast was called the “Steel-Forged Xingtian”…
it was obvious the nars were still Easterners; after all, headless creatures were abundant in various mythologies, but this na revealed its essence most frustratingly—its virtually invulnerable body.
As for the final one…
perhaps the weakest, or perhaps the most dangerous…
or maybe there were already five hundred of them.
It had already shattered—or more precisely, it had birthed countless offspring.
Each multi-headed creature quickly matured, was killed, and then spawned more.
And each one dove into the deep sea without hesitation.
“World-Destroying Dragon-Serpent…
an apt na.”
The most malevolent moniker was attributed to it, and once its expansion reached a critical mass, rely destroying marine ecology could very well annihilate the entire planet.
Notably, as more deities fell and the world climbed in dinsionality, that “Poison Sea” was gradually being cleansed.
The extraordinary toxins of the past were rapidly deconstructed and adjusted under the ergence of the newborn nature…
it seed as though the world was striving to restore global ecology.
But if this catastrophe couldn’t be overco, none of it would matter.
“Has the strength of the split forms been confird yet?”
Countless strongn, deities, and avatars had already set out toward the Arctic, targeting the northern-bound “Golden Crow.” They aid to obstruct and kill that fiery bird.
That beast on the ground, resembling an eternally tireless entity, had already slain an uncountable number of strongn and deities.
It lacked wings, yet its colossal fra towered atop the sea… such a terrifying creature, impervious to blades and bullets, had beco the most grueling battleground imaginable.
It displayed an exceedingly peculiar ability…
around its vicinity, most extraordinary powers were rendered inert.
This divine beast’s anti-magic field coupled with its steel-constructed body were nightmares for its opponents.
While there were abilities specifically geared toward countering heavy armor and high defenses, all of them were blocked.
Attempting close combat with it would be nothing short of a mortal’s nightmare.
Currently, the beast was most attracted to various powerful, tad creatures, used either as cannon fodder or as bait to delay its actions.
anwhile, the production rate of those “New Gods” had slowed sowhat, but it hadn’t ceased entirely… this unbearably oppressive workplace environnt even made Lu Ping’an consider giving up his responsibilities altogether.
But as the nicknas foretold, the most unsettling aspect remained the “World-Destroying Serpent,” already fractured into countless fragnts.
At the sa ti, it was part of the frontline combat force, including Dragon Moon Island…
in this arena, the deities couldn’t compare to professional human combatants.
Their imnse powers obliterated the skies and the earth, yet for opponents with specific traits, humans proved far more adaptable and flexible.
“The strength of the first-generation World-Destroying Serpent is no longer asurable, but it should be below the level of Tenth Order Gods.
The second generation appears to be Quasi-God tier.
The third generation is suspected of exceeding the eighth tier.
The fourth generation is seventh tier…”
These creatures seed to grow progressively weaker, but when you considered that there were already over a thousand Rule-level creatures in the sea—and their numbers might still be surging—it was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.
“…
Replica forms should weaken infinitely over ti, right?
As long as it deteriorates to a certain extent, it can be rendered harmless.
Even if it’s a Decree-level demon, we can handle it.”
“The problem is, based on our tests, the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth generations are still Rule-level…
with several traits that allow them to crush Decree-level lifeforms outright.”
“Even though energy conservation laws have beco uncertain, the total contamination (scale of existence) remains finite.
What’s going on?
How is it possible for them to split infinitely…”
“…
Haven’t you noticed?
The number of new gods has dropped significantly these past few days, even though their initial population wasn’t all that different.”
Quickly, a disheartening revelation was confird.
Indeed, the fragnted forms of the World-Destroying Serpent could reproduce by hunting New Gods.
In a straightforward recorded clip, it even showed a highly intelligent New God, clearly above eighth-tier, being effortlessly chewed up and devoured by a fourth-generation, seventh-tier Multi-Headed Dragon.
“On one side, there’s the will of a God Above Gods.
On the other, re flesh it separated from itself—naturally, no resistance is possible…”
The conclusion was simple enough, but the possibility that the entire world’s New Gods might turn into nutritional supplents for these serpents was horrifying to contemplate.
So even speculated this might be a thod for a God Above Gods to “reclaim” its own flesh—perhaps, once the Multi-Headed Dragon reached a certain scale, it would reabsorb itself entirely.
But others refuted this notion… Lu Ping’an explained bluntly that currently less than one percent of the dissolved portions of the God Above Gods had been observed; it had no need to engage in such unnecessary efforts.
With matters reaching this stage, dwelling on the cause had beco aningless.
The focus remained entirely on the present response.
“…
The next orders are to spare no cost in thoroughly eliminating these Multi-Headed Dragons—or rather, this ‘serpent catastrophe.'”
Lu Ping’an sighed.
He could empathize with the urgency from the rear lines; this was undoubtedly a calamity for the world.
Just thinking about it revealed the staggering difficulty—a task essentially forcing the impossible.
“The most troubleso factor is their aquatic nature.
This ans humanity’s primary military force—drones—are almost ineffective against them.
Whether for reconnaissance or tracking, we’ve lost our most critical eyes.”
“Sending top-tier combatants on patrol missions… please, spare … spare them.
They’re all on the edge of exhaustion; channeling combat power into such mundane tasks is catastrophically inefficient.”
Perhaps by coincidence, perhaps by divine irony, these Multi-Headed Dragons undeniably struck at humanity’s weakest point.
But solutions soon erged.
A massive fleet of underwater submarines had discreetly arrived on the frontlines.
They carried with them swarms of unmanned reconnaissance drones—small, underwater UAVs.
Even though the underwater environnt was truly “network-less,” these newly designed devices carried digital AIs (extraordinary artificial souls).
They recorded the biological characteristics of the Multi-Headed Dragons and, upon locating a target, could transmit signals for hunters to intervene.
Thus, quite naturally, hunting dragons beca the primary job at Dragon Moon Island.
In fact, to prevent excessive proliferation of these creatures, humanity began actively protecting the New Gods.
Having already developed nurous anti-Nine-Headed Serpent techniques, Lu Ping’an was overworked…
one side tasked him with distributing these resources (even offering interest-free loans), while he personally accelerated the dragon-hunting efforts.
Yet, as the war dragged on, all the news received was disastrous.
Failed attempts to encircle the Golden Crow.
Another countless tally of casualties for the day.
Another deity devoured by the Xingtian Evil Beast—with no way to reclaim even the divine position.
Though reason dictated he not dwell on the situation, even Lu Ping’an couldn’t help but wonder if the world might truly et its end.
And at this juncture, the long-awaited turning point finally seed to arrive.
