At this moment, bright red and gold light flew around and filled the sky, and half of the sky was dyed in gold and red hues.

Countless rays of red and gold light twisted and weaved themselves around in the sky, before solidifying into a tall silver-faced man in a long red robe. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and pointed downwards.

Red thunderbolts appeared in the sky instantly, solidifying into a thunder pillar, before crashing down suddenly.

"Cthulhu King!!" An angry, violent voice echoed from the black and white intertwined lights.

A black figure flashed, evading the thunder pillar, before moving ten meters backward and suspending itself mid-air.

Garen's incomparably furious face appeared within everyone's vision clearly.

He took a deep breath, raising his chest up high before black cloud whirlpools with diameters of over ten meters gathered behind him quickly. The shadow of a black and red colored Nine-Headed Hydra floated out behind him slowly, and the gigantic ten-meter tall shadow made it seem like a demon.

Roar!!!

Garen raised his head suddenly, and the Nine-Headed Hydra raised its nine heads towards the sky and roared angrily at the same time.

The Black Water True Technique fueled the Hydra's powerful roar, and this was the first time Garen used all of his power to release the Hydra's roar since he entered Form 5.

A circle of black ripples surrounded him while he remained in the center before it spread towards its surroundings rapidly. The ripples resembled the sharpest razors that sliced through the cliff instantly, before more than a hundred meters of the top half of the cliff slid down suddenly. Instantly, a large round pit appeared in a section of the ground that was cleared up, and the black stone pillars inside quickly broke off into tiny pieces of sand and dust.

The ripples collided into God Cloud and Aixi, and as both of them could not react in time, they could only groan in pain as they were sent flying backward before they crashed into the ground and were embedded in an unknown depth.

The man clad in a bloody robe in the sky remained indifferent.

"Idiotic struggle," he waved his hand and pointed again.

A red pillar of red light gathered in the sky, before crashing down suddenly.

Boom!!

The red light pillar collided with the black ripples, stiffening for a moment, before piercing through the ripples suddenly, and crashing into Garen's body violently.

Before he could even groan, Garen crashed into the ground at once, and with himself as the center, a gigantic, hundred meters wide stone pit formed once again, as dust and rubble flew upwards, forming a grey cloud. The stormy winds blew, causing the dust to be blown everywhere, while the sky became grey and blurry.

Roar!!!

After the Hydra roared, Garen turned into a ray of black light again, and shot off the ground, before flying into the sky towards Cthulhu King.

"God's Sacrifice!" Cthulhu King turned around, and evaded a collision with the black light perfectly, while at the same time, a red semi-circular light flashed across one side of his body, coincidentally blocking Garen's black light.

Bang! Crash!!

Garen's entire body was blown up into countless clouds of bloody mist, and once it solidified, it crashed towards the ground due to the powerful rebound strength.

But a faint look of surprise appeared on Cthulhu King's face suddenly.

He stretched out a finger, gently stroking the right side of his face, where a bloody red scar had formed there faintly.

"Ahhh!!!" Garen's incomparably furious howls echoed from below.

Inside the deep pit, Garen lay face up, while countless red lightning bolts flooded his surroundings, like countless ropes that tied him down tightly.

"I let you go the last time, thinking that you would learn your lesson, but I never expected that you would be such a brainless idiot," said Cthulhu King while he looked down at him contemptuously.

He waved a single hand, before another ray of red light fell from the sky, and crashed violently into the pit where Garen lay.

Boom!!

The red light was blinding, and he could not see anything clearly for a moment, except that the deep pit in the ground had expanded, becoming much deeper.

Dust flew about, impairing his line of vision.

God Cloud and Aixi flew out of the pit and landed on the ground gently, although their faces were as white as paper, without the slightest hint of rosiness.

After being pursued by Garen for more than ten thousand kilometers, and after running through an unknown number of countries and territories, they had become exhausted long ago. It was fortunate that Cthulhuism Society and Obscuro Society were allies. When they required assistance during dire times, their lives would be secured.

"Has it ended?" Aixi supported God Cloud and looked on while Cthulhu King floated down slowly.

"Luke, I owe you one," nodded God Cloud while he looked at Cthulhu King with a bitter smile.

Cthulhu King nodded and began to speak before his expression changed suddenly.

Faintly, from the deep pit where Garen lay, shrouds of pitch-black smoke wafted out slowly and spread out towards its surroundings like a living creature.

Within the smoke, poisonous mist soon turned into little black snakes that slithered around, making soft hissing noises.

Cthulhu King's expression became serious. Unlike the heavily injured God Cloud and Aixi, if the previous strength was too insignificant to threaten him, these current ripples of power, were enough to kill him.

Suddenly, a ray of black light shot out of the deep pit, soared through the sky, before falling down slowly, and unlike the previous chaotic manner, the current black light was calm and unhurried, and naturally steady.

Plop!

Two feet landed on the ground inside the deep pit.

Garen's figure appeared in front of the three people once again.

Unlike his previous hot-tempered manner, his current expression was gentle, and black mist circled his body, quickly solidifying into a simple long black robe on his body.

"I need to thank Cthulhu King for helping me digest the ancient Nine-Headed Hydra's will. I never thought that being in a state of separation would be so difficult to solve," said Garen with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, the three other people saw another expression morphing on his face, and this new face was filled with anger, dissatisfaction, and was howling. But this was merely a translucent state, that was layered on top of Garen's own face.

Instantly, the angry face and the smiling face seemed to be substituting constantly, giving off a strange vibe.

Cthulhu King's eyes narrowed, and a red light flashed across his hands that hung downwards before a pair of red metal gloves appeared there.

"Interesting…" He smiled faintly, and instantly, both of his hands appeared in front of his chest, before turning into fists and striking the area in front of him.

Bang!!

Garen appeared in front of him suddenly, and both of their four limbs were used to exchange blows before exploding a circular area with a dull hum. All this was done without any Totem Light splashes, revealing their extremely terrifying power and control.

Garen's fist was deflected, and his arm twisted before his elbow was illuminated with black light as he threw it forward furiously, striking Cthulhu King's left cheek directly.

The palm of his other hand was straightened into a knife-like shape, before he disappeared from his original position, and struck the back of Cthulhu King's head out of thin air.

Clap!

His elbow was deflected and was struck by a ray of red light that had shot out suddenly.

The first that struck the back of Cthulhu King's head was deflected by a red semicircle instantly which shattered into pieces. Cthulhu King's expression remained unchanged while he opened his mouth and aimed it directly at Garen, as red light glowed out of his mouth. However, a ray of black light struck his cheek lightly again before he fell out of the sky; Garen had gained the upper hand.

Both of them were entangled beside the deep pit and fought there, and their limbs could not be seen from their figures, as the only things that could be seen were black and red lights that were intertwining and colliding with one another.

With a ‘bang', Cthulhu King stepped back suddenly, and stood at a distance of more than a hundred meters away, while his face flushed red, and under the immense pressure, gold-red blood started flowing out of his right ear involuntarily.

But Garen on the opposite side was slightly worse off, as one arm hung from his body limply, as the result of heavy injuries from two losses.

However, both of them were characters that possessed powerful Recovery abilities, and after standing still for a while, their wounds had almost recovered completely, and they were back to charging at each other.

The banging noises that resulted from the collisions could be heard constantly and compared to earlier, the current battle was not as elegant as before, but the thick Totem Powers that could be seen from their bodies were still strangely powerful.

Garen could constantly use the Nine-Life Talent together with his Potential Points to repair his body, while Cthulhu King also had similar measures, showing that the Cthulhus undying and indestructible characteristics were apparent here. All wounds would be completely healed within a few breaths.

The people on top of the city wall had turned numb completely. Blackbeard stood in front of his daughter and shielded her after all of their army forces had been withdrawn.

A group of people had gathered beside him, and all of them were the major and minor heads and representatives of the city. Currently, they were all looking on with wide eyes and opened mouths at the disastrous and terrifying battle happening outside.

"What about the Demon Phoenix…" asked someone, as this monster that the household had guarded for a thousand years was obviously where everyone's greatest concerns lied.

"Over there!!" Someone had noticed its tracks and was pointing towards a faraway distance.

The crowd looked over at that direction, but could only see a figure that was fully dressed in black clothes that were leading three tiptoeing purple-armored people towards a faraway place.

The crowd was suddenly speechless.

They once thought that the terrifying thing in Osa was the Demon Phoenix, and that it was the greatest strength in the world, and that once they released her, misery would befall their lives, and the world would fall into chaos.

They never expected…

This gap was indeed a little too wide.

"City Master… What do we do now?" a newly recruited soldier asked Blackbeard softly.

"We…" Blackbeard opened and closed his mouth, but even from his vision, he could clearly see that the Demon Phoenix's face was currently astonished, and was worried that some of the fighters would notice her expression.

A Demon Phoenix like this… He truly did not know what to say now.

"Perhaps… Perhaps we were cut off from the world for too long…" he smiled bitterly.

"Without a mission, what else can we do?" He was slightly confused, but he was not the only one, as the faces of everyone here were also filled with confused looks.

The Demon Cloud Puppets outside had been injured and killed long ago because of the aftermath of the fighting, and most of them could not even survive the aftermath, and this was an incredible feat. Not only the Puppets, but the three purple armored leaders suffered a similar fate as well, as one of them had been flung aside by the red light pillar, losing half of their body at once, while the other had been struck on the face by a flying rock, and was now crying…

If it wasn't for their strong Life Forces, they would have probably been destroyed completely after the fight.

At this point, no one cared about the mission or the Demon Phoenix anymore. In the eyes of the group of people, the Demon Phoenix was merely a child that had passed by, a mere feeble thing.

Blackbeard's mind was a chaotic mess, and at this moment, the two faraway people had separated again.

The black and red figures flew around, and the black figure leaped a few times, flashing past the tops of the heads of the four Demon Phoenixes, and the four Demon Phoenixes cried out in pain before they were caught by the black mist.

The two people were in terribly bad states, as the head and bodies of the one in red clothes had been separated, before he used both of his hands to press his head back in place again, allowing the large amounts of flesh at his neck to connect back. It looked incomparably normal.

Meanwhile, the man in black had a large hole with a diameter of half a meter in the center of his chest, exposing all of his internal organs clearly, but he continued to move like normal as if it did not affect him at all.

"How is he still living..?" yelled some people with uncontrollably shocked looks on their faces.

"They've stolen the Demon Phoenix!!" Blackbeard's daughter yelled. "Tony, what should we do? The Demon Phoenix has been stolen, we…"

The group of people looked at each other in despair, completely devoid of any goals. They had painstakingly guarded this enemy for many years, only to have it stolen helplessly by someone, and from the looks of it, it seemed as easy as stealing a few chicks. This was unbearable for the hidden school that had guarded it for a thousand years...
