Chapter 408 Only War! (Page 12)
Three hundred miles away on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty.
A giant island shrouded in a gray-white mist lies dormant on the dark sea like a sleeping beast.
The island is comparable in size to a small landmass, its surface covered with dark red crystallized rocks, as if stained with the blood of some ancient behemoth. Jagged peaks, like broken swords, pierce the sky, appearing and disappearing in the mist.
And at this moment——
At the summit of the island's highest peak, a dark red, mountain-like figure stands silently.
It was a giant bird so large it was suffocating.
Its feathers are dark red, each one as if forged from fine iron, gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen in the dim light.
When its wings are spread, the wingspan exceeds one thousand meters, like two clouds hanging from the sky, completely obscuring the sky above the entire island.
Its head resembles that of a vulture, but it has three pairs of scarlet eyes, each pupil of which flickers with golden flames.
Its sharp beak is like a scimitar, with edges that gleam with a cold light, as if it could easily tear through steel.
What's most terrifying is its claws—
Each claw was as thick as a palace pillar, covered with dark gold scales, and the tips were an eerie, ghostly blue, clearly coated with deadly poison.
At this moment, the legendary Indian bird lowered its head slightly, its three pairs of eyes turning simultaneously, looking towards the direction of Great Xia.
"Brahma is right..."
Its sound was like the cawing of a million crows in one's ear, hoarse and piercing.
"The destiny of destruction belongs to the Great Xia."
As it spoke, its sharp beak slowly parted, revealing an extremely ferocious smile.
"The second calamity... has arrived!"
“Crash——!!!”
As Garuda proclaimed, the entire sea suddenly boiled!
The once calm sea was stirred up as if by an invisible giant hand, churning up waves tens of meters high. Amidst the surging spray, countless dark figures burst forth from the water—
The three-headed Naga sea serpent: each one is over 100 meters long, with eerie purple patterns covering its dark green scales. Its three heads spray venom, ice, and fire respectively, and the seawater in its path is corroded, producing a pungent white smoke.
Swarms of bone-winged flying fish: These mutated flying fish have sharp, knife-like edges on their outstretched bone wings. When thousands of them skim across the sea surface at the same time, they emit a teeth-grinding "buzzing" sound.
Abyss Worm: A colossal creature exceeding two hundred meters in length, its segmented body covered with suckers, each with sharp barbs protruding from it.
Human-faced jellyfish: Dozens of human corpses hang from its translucent umbrella-shaped cap, and as the jellyfish moves, its pale arms sway eerily.
The sheer number of them was like a locust plague, instantly turning the entire sea area into a murky black.
Garuda looked down at the scene with satisfaction, then suddenly turned its head, and three pairs of eyes focused on a certain spot in the deep sea.
"Chimera..."
Its voice suddenly turned low, like muffled thunder rolling between the sea and the sky.
"It's time for you to make your move!"
“Rumble——!!!”
As soon as Garuda finished speaking, the entire sea suddenly trembled violently!
A massive whirlpool with a diameter of over a kilometer is forming, centered on a certain point on the sea surface.
The whirlpool spun faster and faster, tearing the seawater at its edges with a sharp whistling sound.
The mysterious creatures that had just surfaced suddenly froze, then, as if sensing some extremely terrifying presence, frantically fled in all directions.
"Roar--!!!"
A deafening roar came from the depths of the vortex.
The immense power contained in that roar caused the sea surface within a radius of a hundred miles to tremble.
Garuda's feathers also unconsciously stood up slightly, showing its inner fear.
The seawater at the center of the whirlpool suddenly exploded!
A mountain-like black shadow burst out of the water, creating a giant wave that shot into the sky a thousand meters high!
As the water curtain fell, the legendary ferocious beast finally revealed its true form—
Its main body is that of a goat, comparable to a warship, covered with thick, dark gold fur.
Each hair was as hard as a steel needle, gleaming with a metallic sheen in the moonlight.
But strangely, three lion heads grew on the neck.
It has a scorpion tail that is a hundred meters long, with a house-sized venomous stinger at the end, from which a purple venom that corrodes seawater drips continuously.
What's most terrifying is that its main feature—the lion's head—has a vertical pupil growing between its eyebrows!
At this moment, the vertical pupil was staring intently at Garuda in the air, its pupil pulsating with a violent killing intent.
"Indian gods..."
The three gaping maws of the Chimera opened and closed simultaneously, producing a sound like three volcanoes erupting at the same time.
The lion's roar was deafening, the ram's voice was sharp and piercing, and the scorpion's tail emitted a chilling hissing sound.
Three sounds intertwined eerily:
"My actions..."
"It's none of your business to speak!"
With this roar, the Chimera suddenly stood upright, its three heads simultaneously roaring to the sky.
"Roar--!!!"
The terrifying sound waves transformed into tangible shockwaves, forcefully lowering the seawater within a radius of several miles by ten meters!
Garuda's feathers trembled violently amidst the roar, but it did not back down; instead, it let out a piercing laugh.
"Hahaha...Good! Very good!"
It suddenly spread its wings, and dazzling golden light burst forth from between its dark red feathers.
"Then let Great Xia..."
"This will be your burial ground!"
As it spoke, the entire island suddenly trembled violently!
The dark red crystallized rocks cracked open, revealing the surging magma beneath.
Countless crimson beams of light shot into the sky from the crack, weaving together into a massive blood-red net in the heavens.
At the same time, the Chimera also responded—
Its scorpion-tail stinger suddenly swelled, spewing out a thick purple venomous mist from its tip. This mist spread rapidly across the sea, corroding even the seawater in its path, turning it a dark green.
Two completely different, yet equally terrifying forces are converging wildly over this sea area.
And behind them—
It is a mysterious army of hundreds of millions!
Garuda's dark red wings suddenly stirred up a hurricane, its thousand-meter wingspan like a blade hanging from the sky, slashing fiercely towards the Chimera.
"boom--!!!"
The lion's head roared, and the eerie blue arcs of electricity wrapped around the ram's horns exploded. The scorpion's tail swept across like a giant pillar, colliding with the wings hanging from the clouds!
The sea surface collapsed instantly!
The shockwave exploded in a ring, forcibly emptying the seawater within a ten-mile radius and exposing the bare seabed.
Those low-level mysteries that couldn't escape in time were vaporized in the aftershocks!
Garuda's claws tore through the mane of the Chimera lion, and dark gold hair mixed with divine blood fell down;
The scorpion's stinger pierced Garuda's wing membrane, the purple venom corroding a charred hole.
"Roar--!"
"Wow—!"
The roars of the two mythical beasts shattered the clouds. Their fighting style was devoid of any skill; it was purely a savage clash between flesh and divine power!
Each claw strike distorted space, and each bite unleashed thunder.
Three hours later.
Garuda's six eyes dripped golden blood, and one of its three pairs of wings was broken.
It hovered in mid-air, its sharp beak panting heavily, each breath carrying sparks.
The Chimera was equally in a sorry state—
One of the lion's eyes was pecked out, the electric arcs on the ram's horns dimmed, and a section of the scorpion's stinger was broken off.
It stood on the seabed, its three heads simultaneously spewing out scorching white mist.
"enough!"
Garuda suddenly folded its wings, its voice hoarse: "If we continue fighting, we'll only become a laughingstock for the ants of Great Xia!"
The chimera's lion head growled, but its scorpion tail slowly retracted. It knew perfectly well—
Their strengths are roughly equal.
Continuing to fight will only result in mutual destruction.
Garuda landed on a protruding rock and preened its tattered feathers with its beak.
“Listen, Greek monster,” it sneered. “There’s an old saying in Great Xia: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
The ram's head in the chimera let out a sharp sneer: "Cooperation?"
The scorpion's tail slowly rose, and the liquid dripping from its venomous stinger corroded the ancient divine script of "agreement" on the seabed.
A sly glint flashed in Garuda's eyes.
It suddenly flapped its wings, and a dark golden tail feather drifted down, hovering between the two giant beasts.
"A blood oath."
After a moment of silence, the lion's head suddenly bit off a section of its own mane.
The two tokens collided in mid-air, bursting forth with dazzling divine light!
"boom--!"
A blood-red pact unfolds between the sea and sky, its words woven from lava and venom:
1. Set aside our grudges for now and join forces to attack the Great Xia.
2. After passing the level, each person must rely on their own abilities.
3. Those who breach the contract will be forever condemned to the abyss of darkness.
Once the contract was signed, the aura of the two ferocious gods suddenly changed!
Garuda roared to the sky, its sound waves piercing the mist and awakening many ancient beings slumbering in the deep sea—
Eight great serpents emerged from the abyss, each head wearing a bronze crown;
The Cyclops carried a warhammer forged from coral, and every step he took made the seabed tremble.
The rotting ships of the ghost fleet silently slid out of the fog wall, with undead sailors draped in seaweed standing on the deck.
Chimera then plunged her scorpion tail into the seabed, releasing a wave of summoning energy.
An underwater volcano suddenly erupted!
Lava crabs, sulfur sirens, and even several baby Leviathans crawled out of the magma!
The two mythical armies began to merge.
Garuda's wings scattered dark red light spots, inflicting "bloodlust berserk" on all mystical beings;
The scorpion tail of the Chimera sprays poisonous mist, coating each monster with "corrosive armor".
Their tactics are simple yet terrifying—
Garuda Air Force:
The swarm of bone-winged flying fish, acting as the vanguard, tore through the defenses with a suicidal charge.
The ghost fleet launched undead artillery fire from the air;
The Garuda deity gathers power in the clouds to unleash the "world-destroying golden light".
Chimera Navy:
The lava crab launches a frontal assault, melting the city walls with its high temperature.
An eight-headed serpent released a toxic tide, polluting the sea.
The Chimera lies lurking in the deep sea, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Shenlong Pass.
As the combined forces of the two gods assemble in the mist—
Inside the observation tower at Chenlong Pass, the alarm had already overheated and burned out.
Chen Tieshan stood on the city wall, gazing at the dark clouds changing color where the sea and sky met in the distance, and suddenly smiled.
"Bros……"
He drew his sword, the blade reflecting his scarred face.
"get ready--"
"Did they kill a god?"
...
Lin Qiye stood on the highest watchtower of Chenlong Pass, the sea breeze carrying a salty mist slapping against his face.
His pupils contracted slightly.
Deep within the distant mist, two suffocatingly oppressive forces were steadily approaching—
Garuda's bloodthirsty rage and Chimera's brutal coldness—these two completely different divine powers, like a raging tsunami, had not yet truly descended, but had already caused the walls of Shenlong Pass to creak under their unbearable weight.
