Chapter 159: Chapter 159
Zzzzt!
In the brief moment of deadlock, a faint golden lightning flickered within the six-winged angel's azure eyes.
In the next instant, a soft golden divine glow radiated from her body.
With the blessing of this golden light, the six-winged angel's power surged dramatically.
Wielding her sword in both hands, she suddenly slashed sideways, cleanly severing a spider-like appendage brimming with an aura of despair.
Seeing its ambush fail and even its newly evolved limb severed, a figure eerily similar to the humanoid spiders encountered before—yet distinctly different—emerged into view.
This creature bore the face of a human male, but its body was like that of a massive worm. It had eight razor-sharp spider-like limbs and three pairs of insect wings on its back, resembling an abominable amalgamation of multiple monsters. It rapidly flapped its wings, retreating backward with astonishing speed.
The grotesque fusion of its form was so disturbing that merely laying eyes on it evoked intense discomfort.
Some onlookers, overwhelmed by the sheer horror of its appearance, couldn't contain themselves and vomited on the spot.
Despite its disturbing appearance, the creature possessed incredible strength and speed beyond human comprehension.
With a few rapid beats of its insect wings, it had already retreated dozens of meters.
Now at a distance, the monster glared at the six-winged angel with venomous malice, its voice raspy and filled with hatred:
"An angel? A lapdog of God dares to appear so openly in Midgard? Looks like the Supreme Sorcerer's lineage has completely lost control over this realm... But Earth is not your god's divine kingdom. If you choose to stand against me here, have you decided how you want to die?"
The six-winged angel ignored the creature's threats.
With golden light once again rippling across her form, she gathered her strength. Her three pairs of massive wings stirred a powerful whirlwind.
In the next second—
Her figure blurred, vanishing in an instant, only to reappear hundreds of meters away. Brandishing her golden holy sword, she slashed toward the air before her!
As the sword cleaved downward, the space in front of her rippled, and in that very moment, the grotesque figure that should have been hundreds of meters away abruptly materialized midair.
For an instant, disbelief flickered in the human-like eyes embedded in the creature's horrific body.
It seemed incapable of comprehending how the six-winged angel had so easily seen through its hell-infused invisibility magic.
Caught off guard, the creature had no time to react.
Having already experienced the terrifying power of the angel's sword firsthand, it had no choice but to cross its six sharp, blackened limbs in front of itself in a desperate attempt to block the incoming strike.
Clang!
A metallic clash rang out as the immense force sent the monstrous figure hurtling through the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of deafening crashes followed as the grotesque entity was flung through a building, tumbling across half the battlefield before landing directly in front of the Hulk, who was still locked in battle with Abomination.
Whether due to their immense strength making them fearless or the gamma radiation suppressing their intelligence, the Hulk and Abomination continued their savage brawl, utterly indifferent to the swarming tide of monstrous worms around them.
Even when the imposing figure of the six-winged angel descended from the sky, shaking the world, these two behemoths remained fixated on their fight.
Until—
Boom!
The grotesque creature, launched through the battlefield, smashed through a brick wall and landed right at the feet of the Hulk.
The green titan, already boiling with pent-up rage from the ongoing battle, looked down at the intruder who had interrupted his fight.
With saliva flying from his mouth, he roared in deafening fury:
"HULK!"
And with that battle cry, the already battered monster was sent flying once again by the Hulk's monstrous strength—like a mere ragdoll.
Even before it could react, the figure that had previously threatened the six-winged angel dissipated into a fleeting afterimage, vanishing completely.
On a rooftop, gripping the Angelic Scepter, Eren watched the scene with deep solemnity.
His eyes were filled with caution as he stared at the spot where the grotesque entity had been struck.
"That thing… it was sneaking towards me earlier. It was definitely planning to attack me."
In such a short time, the creature had already deduced that the six-winged angel was nothing more than a soulless battle construct. It had even conjured an illusion to distract the angel, using the opportunity to stealthily close in on Eren, intending to eliminate the summoner directly.
Its cunning battle tactics and execution sent a chill down Eren's spine.
If the six-winged angel hadn't possessed the ability to pierce illusions and perceive hidden entities, allowing her to strike the monster before it could act—
Given its speed and strength, there was no doubt that if it had reached Eren, he would have been killed before he could react.
And if that had happened…
The Angelic Scepter would have fallen into its hands.
No one could predict how terrifyingly powerful the monster would become if it wielded the scepter.
Even the fate of the alternate Eren, the one who might revive him, would become uncertain in such a scenario.
Cold sweat ran down Eren's back as he watched the distant battlefield where the creature had been flung. His expression grew even more grim.
His mind raced.
Even though the grotesque entity was tainted with the aura of an eldritch god, which severely interfered with and distorted divination attempts—
Eren had no intention of being foolish enough to attempt a direct divination on it.
Instead, he tapped into his power as a Seer, methodically setting up one divination ritual after another on the rooftop. He carefully added elements favorable to himself, turning the rooftop into his personal battlefield as much as possible.
Meanwhile—
The grotesque figure, already battered from the six-winged angel's attack, had barely regained its footing when it was struck by the Hulk's fist, sending it flying once more.
As it was flung through the air, its human-like face contorted with venomous fury.
Being struck by an angel was one thing.
But to be assaulted by a "mindless brute" like the Hulk—something no different from a rampaging beast—was utterly humiliating.
"You dare—"
Before it could even finish speaking, a massive, rough, yellowish hand covered in thick calloused skin suddenly clamped down on one of its limbs.
A moment later—
A colossal force, greater than anything it could have imagined, slammed it into the ground.
BOOM!
The shockwave spread across the battlefield as the ground trembled.
Cracks radiated outward like a spiderweb from the impact crater where the monstrous figure had been smashed.
Its captured limb, gripped tightly in Abomination's powerful hand, had been twisted into a grotesque, unnatural shape.
With a sneer, Abomination callously stomped his massive, foul-smelling foot down on the monster's human-like face, grinding it deeper into the crater.
"Hmph. Filthy bug. Don't interfere with my fight with Hulk."
Squelch!
Squelch!
Squelch!
…
Just as Abomination was about to trample the grotesque figure that had interrupted his battle and charge at Hulk once again—
A series of spider-like appendages, gleaming with an eerie black sheen and entwined with countless wailing spirits, surged forth from all directions, stabbing toward Abomination's body!
Not good.
Abomination, who had initially dismissed the creature as a mere nuisance, finally sensed danger the moment those appendages lunged at him.
For the first time, he felt a mortal threat.
With a furious roar, his instincts kicked in, and he stretched out his hands, grabbing the two most dangerous limbs aimed at his chest and the back of his head.
However—
Although Abomination managed to seize the deadliest two appendages, the remaining four—coated in that ominous black glow—still managed to pierce through his tough, seemingly impenetrable skin and penetrate his flesh.
(Two of the creature's appendages had already been lost—one severed by the six-winged angel, the other broken when Abomination slammed it into the ground.)
Crack!
Crack!
With a series of bone-snapping sounds, Abomination's massive body was lifted off the ground, suspended in midair by the four razor-sharp appendages.
"You damned fool! How dare you humiliate a priest of Sothoth… I will imprison your soul and let it burn in the hellfire for eternity, suffering endless torment for your sins!"
The infuriated, venomous voice of the grotesque entity roared from the human-like face embedded in its monstrous form.
As its piercing appendages—seemingly imbued with an armor-piercing effect—sank into Abomination's flesh, the creature suddenly sensed something remarkable.
The monstrous vitality coursing through Abomination's body was terrifyingly potent.
The entity had already suffered multiple setbacks—its evolution interrupted due to a lack of absorbed essence, followed by a series of injuries in battle. Now, feeling the immense life force within Abomination, its face twisted into an expression of ecstatic delight.
The four impaling appendages instantly transformed into something akin to mosquito proboscises, greedily siphoning Abomination's life energy.
"No!!!"
For the first time, fear flickered in Abomination's eyes as he felt his life force being rapidly drained.
Suspended in the air, he thrashed violently, struggling to break free.
However, at that moment, the creature's remaining appendages launched another flurry of attacks, preventing Abomination from escaping the clutches of the mutated Priest of Sothoth.
In mere seconds—
Not only had Abomination failed to break free, but his once-powerful physique had already begun to visibly shrink.
Witnessing this scene—
Even the fearless Hulk hesitated, halting his steps and refraining from approaching the two entangled figures.
"Now's my chance!"
At that moment, Eren raised his hand and tossed the Angelic Scepter.
The near-divine artifact instantly appeared in the six-winged angel's grasp.
The moment the scepter landed in her hand, she channeled the holy energy used to forge her radiant sword into it.
As the condensed golden brilliance surged into the Angelic Scepter, golden runes faintly surfaced upon its surface, radiating an aura of untouchable divinity.
Raising the scepter high with one hand, she aimed it directly at the Priest of Sothoth, who was still siphoning Abomination's life force.
Then—
With a sharp twist of her slender waist, like the taut release of a bowstring, she hurled the Angelic Scepter forward with all her might.
The scepter, now radiating golden light, transformed into a streak of divine lightning, tearing through the air in an instant—
Plunging straight toward the Priest of Sothoth!
Judgment Scepter
"No...!"
The instant the Angelic Scepter locked onto its target, the Priest of Sothoth—once a powerful sorcerer—immediately sensed the overwhelming danger bearing down upon him.
Forcing himself to suppress the near-orgasmic euphoria of absorbing Abomination's formidable life force, his instincts screamed at him to react.
However—
The Angelic Scepter, now a golden streak of divine lightning, moved at a speed beyond imagination.
The moment he realized the threat—
It was already too late.
The scepter first pierced through Abomination's chest, then continued its trajectory, hurtling directly toward him!
Feeling the overwhelming divine energy closing in, the Priest of Sothoth—a once-human who had abandoned his mortal flesh to become a demonic insectoid abomination—was stricken with horror.
At this critical moment—
He activated the innate ability he had awakened after transforming into a demon.
