Chapter 552 37: Hundred Beasts Mother Womb and...
They collided instantaneously with the envoys of the Netherworld. As Galura Spirits, they knew no fear and mercilessly sought to punish these unwelcome beings daring to intrude into the Netherworld. Meanwhile, sharp spears erected terrifying forests across the Netherworld's land, slaughtering the Rahmu relentlessly."Ah, ah, ah!? Wha-wha-what, what is happening!?" The Netherworld Goddess cradled her head, letting out a panicked wail, "Did I mess something up!?"
This is a realm of the dead. Clearly, rules were established from the start. The living would be targeted by the "must kill" law, and a system to neutralize the Gods was specifically constructed to prevent any Gods from refusing to accept their death fate, thus staging a big escape.
Only in the Netherworld is Ereshkigal the sole exception among the Gods.
However...
It seemed that Tiamat God's power was truly terrifying. Even when bound and balanced by the rules of the Netherworld, it still held an overwhelming advantage. Its instinctive resistance alone caused the Netherworld Goddess to tremble. The blond maiden, one with the Netherworld, could feel the realm's distance shaking.
This once utterly sturdy afterlife world seemed ready to shatter at any moment, collapsing under the mother's instinctive resistive force.
——Whoosh!
A whistling strike erupted, carrying a supremely pure light, easily obliterating the swarm of Rahmu flying over. The witch coolly furrowed her brows, glancing at the entirely panicked blond maiden beside her, and softly said, "Those things are about to fly over..."
"Ugh..."
The blond maiden once again scrambled to cope, waving her hand as countless spear forests rose from the Netherworld's ground, piercing the unsuspecting Rahmu from below in an instant.
Just like that, countless Rahmu perished, their vast array of corpses hung on the ubiquitous spear forests of the Netherworld. Their bodies, a warped conjunction of long tendrils, resembled strings of sausages, eerily twitching from time to time.
Yet the Tiamat God remained unfazed; even as the spear forests rose under her feet from the heavens, they seemed unable to penetrate her defense.
"Those black mud are coming..."
Hiri anxiously gazed forward. Though they occupied relatively higher ground, the surging black mud still seemed threatening as the black waves eroded the land beneath them.
The Demon Hunter Girl, though always observing from the side in the Netherworld, was not ignorant of the happenings above. The invisible Mind Chains connected their small team, allowing her to clearly see the shared perspective from above through Gu Mo.
Therefore, she was very aware of how troublesome these black mud were, as even those outrageously strong supermen wanted nothing to do with them.
The witch remained silent, lightly flicking her hand to cast several Curse Talismans onto the ground ahead.
A rippling wave of luminescent light flashed by, forming a Technique Barrier in front of them.
The rising water of the black Sea of Life reached up to their feet, hitting the Defense Technique barriers. Even in erosion, the witch turned slightly pale. This black mud, while lacking the autonomous aggressiveness of those monsters, possessed an unimaginably terrifying power itself.
As the essence of the Sea of Life and the Primordial Soup, black mud internally circulated the true ether of Genesis. This magic power was unimaginably impressive in both quality and quantity.
No special skills were needed; mere contact caused Kikyo to feel her spiritual power rapidly depleting. Were it not for the Celestial Maiden's Feather Robe providing a substantial rate of energy recovery, she might not withstand long. After all, this was a pure energy clash, with mutual depletion occurring.
It's not about anything else, but a matter of how much magic power each side could deplete in the same duration.
"We might not be able to stop it..."
Looking at the further rising black sea and the Rahmu crawling all over the Netherworld like swarms, Kikyo furrowed her brows and said quietly.
Holding off the erosion of black mud alone wasn't a problem, but there was an endless swarm of Rahmu, passing like locust plagues. She frowned, looking at the blond maiden beside her. This Goddess Servant, overseeing the realm of the dead, was scrambling to command again, but it seemed she was at a loss with the current state of affairs.
"Ahhhh, these damned bugs..."
Watching as her Galura Spirits continually dissipated into the air, Ereshkigal widened her eyes in disbelief. Although it was clear her envoys still had the upper hand, what was the quantity of her opponents compared to her own?
Simply unable to outlast them!
The next moment, magnificent silver moonlight swept through the dark and cold Netherworld. The Rahmu, crawling and flying everywhere, seemed frozen within the tranquil moonlight, motionless in fixed space like a painting, or the captured scene of a photograph.
Their time had stopped.
And almost at the same instant,
The black mud surging toward Ereshkigal and her group, amidst the waves and upheaval, unexpectedly transformed into a blooming sea of flowers, with countless blossoms flourishing.
