Chapter 775
One Big Meat Shield
At this critical moment, Aglios didn't waste a single second on tactical communication or assessing the situation.
Driven by the divinity of the War Lord, his body, forged through countless trials and tribulations during his ascension and inscribed with numerous runes of the rules of war, erupted with a dazzling divine light that caused the surrounding chaotic energy to recoil.
He transformed into a meteor that tore through the eternal flames of war, ignoring the Demon God's exquisite evasion and containment tactics, charging forward in the most primal, savage, and authoritative way.
In that instant, the Demon God, witnessing this scene, felt a mixture of absurdity and shock amidst his myriad thoughts.
[The absurdity of this near-suicidal recklessness is striking, but the sheer force of the charge—the unwavering, pure will to fight—is awe-inspiring.]
This is no longer a tactic, but a declaration, a ritual—a declaration of war issued by the master of war to its opponent, and indeed to the entire world!
The scene that followed completely overturned the Heart Demon God's understanding of the newly ascended transcendent beings, and abruptly plunged this already intense abyss battlefield into an even more brutal and agonizing battle.
The will of the abyss clearly sensed the unusual nature and potential threat posed by this small spark. A gigantic tentacle, formed from pure malice, corrupt rules, and dark matter, coiled around it, accompanied by a shrill scream that could corrupt even the minds of gods.
Then, with a speed that defied the laws of space and time, it struck Agris with tremendous force.
This strike is enough to easily shatter multiple large worlds; the abyssal corrosive power it contains is a poison specifically designed to target divine beings.
The Demon God knew that even he himself needed to use a profound movement technique combined with a mental barrier to deflect and evade the attack, and would never dare to let it directly hit the core of his divine body.
However, Agris chose not to dodge or evade, but instead met the attack head-on with a punch!
The fist, imbued with the divine power of war and brimming with boundless fighting spirit, collided solidly with the terrifying tentacles of the abyss.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a deeper, more terrifying sound of rules being annihilated.
The chaos was pushed aside, forming a brief sphere of nothingness, which was then filled with even more violent energy in the next instant.
[The Demon God clearly saw that Aglus's divine body trembled violently, the divine light flowing over his body dimmed sharply, and even fine, regular cracks appeared, resembling those on the verge of breaking porcelain.]
But that's all!
The anticipated scenario of the divine body shattering, the divine soul being damaged, and even being corrupted by the abyss's aura did not occur.
[Agros was only pushed back several dimensional units by the immense force. He shook his arm, and the divine light emanating from his body, accompanied by an even stronger fighting spirit, visibly intensified once more.]
Those cracks in the rules were also rapidly mended under the surge of the power of war.
The flames in his eyes burned even brighter, as if the blow hadn't been a severe attack, but rather a potent drink that unleashed ferocity!
How is this possible?
Even with the ancient wisdom and vast knowledge of the Heart Demon God, his mind was shaken to its core at this moment.
[To withstand a direct attack from the projection of the Abyss's will almost unscathed signifies that Agrelius's divine body possesses an astonishing level of strength and resistance to the Abyss's corruption.] [This is by no means a mere advancement; its root lies deep within the unique war authority he wields.]
[Perhaps the strongest defense is born from the most extreme destruction, or perhaps it's the principle of sustaining war through war at work.]
Regardless, a crazy yet highly efficient tactic instantly took shape within the mind network of the Heart Demon God, a network composed of countless schemes.
[He no longer attempted to dissuade or guide this rampaging warlord; instead, the rhythm of His countless scattered and elusive incarnations, primarily focused on harassment and containment, began to undergo a subtle yet deadly change.]
His attacks became more elusive and unpredictable, no longer aiming to inflict substantial damage on the will of the abyss, but instead focusing on creating openings, disrupting its attack rhythm, and forcing it to reveal more exploitable gaps.
[And Agris, this warmonger who had just proven his toughness with his body, completely cast aside his last shred of reservations.]
He let out a long roar, filled with the excitement and exhilaration of discovering his ideal hunting ground. His divine body once again transformed into the most ferocious battering ram, launching a continuous barrage of attacks towards the massive projection of the Abyss's will.
Fists, elbows, knees, shoulders... every part of his body transformed into the most terrifying weapons of war, entwined with tangible rules of warfare.
[There are phantom images of thousands of troops charging forward, scenes of fierce city sieges and defenses, and the cold glint of strategic cunning.]
These forces of law, combined with pure physical destructive power, rained down on the defenses and body of the Abyss's will.
[The will of the abyss raged, unleashing even more tentacles, each imbued with terrifying powers such as decay, curse, soul drain, and conceptual corruption, which enveloped Agrelius from all directions.]
The spacetime structure of this area has been completely disrupted, transforming it into a dead zone where even light and thought can be shredded.
The figure of the Heart Demon God flickered like a ghost within it. Whenever a fatal blow that Agris could not dodge and that posed a serious threat to him was about to strike, the Heart Demon God's invisible and intangible mental power would interfere with the trajectory of the attack a split second in advance.
[Or perhaps, in a split second, Agrelius will take the next level of attack with minimal cost, while directing the truly fatal blow towards Agrelius's almost immortal divine body.]
【boom! 】
[Another solid hit. Agrelius was struck in the back by a tentacle wrapped with the concept of absolute annihilation. His divine fire flickered violently, and a wisp of divine blood burning with golden light even spilled from his mouth.]
But instead of resisting, he used the momentum to twist his body and deliver a powerful elbow strike, smashing another smaller tentacle that was trying to entangle him.
[A perfectly timed mental spike from the Heart Demon God grazed past, momentarily slowing the movement of the Abyss Will's main attacking tentacle. Agris had already broken free of the encirclement and deflected the attack from the flank with a backhand punch.]
The balance of power on the battlefield subtly shifted amidst this brutal clash of violent aesthetics and exquisitely coordinated attacks.
[While the Abyss's Will remains incomparably powerful, and its attacks still devastating, the insertion of Agrus, a completely illogical variable, disrupted the rhythm of its originally skillful tactics against the Heart Demon God.]
[The Demon God no longer needs to constantly guard against the fatal blows that cannot be completely avoided, because now there is a reliable barrier that can withstand the damage.] (End of Chapter)
