The mighty Giant had stopped his steps.
And on top of the Giant's head, the heavy thudding continued.
"Ha—you!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just like on a lovely holiday, you've just fallen asleep, and the neighbors next door start knocking down a wall—the entire battlefield echoed with heavy thudding.
During this process, at the Giant's feet, all the previously fiercely burning Burning Wind kin saw their flames gradually shrink from their blazing state, eventually turning back into charred forms, no longer moving.
And the Flame Giant, made of magma, like his kin, cooled in the air as if meeting water, changing from a shining bright color to obsidian... or rather, something dark and dull.
The reason for all this was that this immensely strong Abyssal Hunter, transforming into an invincible She-Hulk—no, perhaps an invincible She-Rulk—was pressing the mini version of the Khorne Daemon Prince she held in her hands against the ground and repeatedly rubbing it.
After being injured by Goki and having his weakness exposed, this Incarnation of a god no longer had any power to resist.
Of course, this weakness wasn't something that could be resolved just by discovering it.
Firstly, ordinary people couldn't tap dance on the Giant's flame-covered body, forcing him to create this smaller Clone.
Secondly, even this three-meter-tall Clone was extremely dense, massive, and weighed several tons. Without a superwoman like Skadi with EX strength to lift him up and smash him around amidst the blazing flames, a crane would be needed.
And during this process, the three-meter-tall mini-Giant, shaped like a Khorne Daemon Prince, gradually shrunk under Skadi's thrashing.
Finally, upon realizing that the opponent had completely lost the power to resist, Skadi stopped, lifted the shrunken and distorted "God of Burning Wind," and placed him before herself and Goki.
Now, he was no longer touching the ground, completely transformed into a burning ball of flame.
"Alright, Goki, it's done!"
Skadi's ruby-like big eyes blinked at Goki, full of excitement and anticipation, with a "hurry and praise me" expression.
Goki could only reach out and ruffle Little Orca's head as a sign of praise.
"Such a weak god—but this sword is very dangerous. If you had chosen to fight me with full power from the beginning, the outcome would have been very different."
Plucking laevatein from her hand and casually tossing it down to Surtr, Skadi felt the touch on her head, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve slightly upward.
"You, do you really think you controlled my body with brute force? Heh, plaything of the ocean, go ahead and use that power. You will feel yourself changing—this time, I lost."
The faint flames had almost lost all their power. He raised his head and smiled at Skadi and Goki.
He felt how terrifying the power flowing within this plaything of the ocean was.
Similarly, the man beside her had even more terrifying power within him.
"But, I must give you a small warning—one day I will cross that high wall and reclaim this place with my true body, and now, I want you to feel how truly powerful my real power is."
As he spoke, that arm, which had almost stopped emitting heat, suddenly began to glow with unimaginable brilliance.
"Say goodbye to your power, Moon. If I can't have it, then you won't get it back either!"
Buzz—
At this moment, Goki felt an incredibly intense, unimaginably vast power being generated out of thin air within this arm—clearly, it was being transferred from afar!
It was through the vast network that Goki had felt before, on the border of Sargon.
However, this time, the God of Burning Wind's descent was not of will, but of pure power.
The God of Burning Wind not only did not intend to reclaim this part of his Origin, but also planned to forcibly Break through the barrier of the material world, allowing his Divine Power to descend into the Prime Material Plane out of thin air!
One must know that the descent of a Great One always requires sacrifice and ritual. Even a Khorne Daemon Prince knows to perform blood sacrifices first. If one were to forcibly descend into the material world with brute force alone... not only would the transferred power be less than one in a hundred, but one would also easily fall into weakness and be backstabbed by other Great Ones.
Yet, the already weakened God of Burning Wind intended to directly descend his Divine Power from the Burning Wind Scorched Earth into the Prime Material Plane, at the cost of his true body's complete weakness—all for the sake of pride, truly a stubborn fool, a pure brute!
"Are you some kind of Gian from somewhere, still connected to your true body—Skadi, throw him out, as far as possible! Power that forcibly descends will be corrected by the real world; his area of influence isn't wide!"
Without hesitation, Goki abandoned his captured prey; this was a hunter's basic quality.
"But didn't you say you had your power—didn't you say it was precious?"
Skadi, on the other hand, was a bit reluctant. She knew that the main purpose of their coming to Sargon was to find Goki's own power.
"That stuff will always be there; you are my most precious thing—throw him, throw him towards the sky! Preferably into the stratosphere!"
Goki felt the immense power within it, enough to threaten both their lives, and because the area of influence was small enough, the people on the ground didn't have to worry about their safety.
If only Goki himself were here, perhaps he could have tried to interrupt the ritual.
He was somewhat confident that he could dispel such an "anomaly" forcibly descending into the Prime Material Plane.
He only needed one item; with a gentle ring, he could dispel anything summoned by a "bell."
However, Skadi was right beside him, and Goki was unwilling to take the risk.
Power could be found again, but Titi was unique—W, Wendy wasn't Titi.
"Oh... alright."
Feeling the fear transmitted through her blood, Skadi mustered all her strength and hurled the God of Burning Wind's arm upwards.
But the next second, a figure made an aerial lunge and instead embraced that arm.
"Holy crap—Parvis, you old idiot, are you crazy!"
Goki's eyes widened. The one embracing this god-level super bomb was none other than Parvis.
"I said I am willing to sacrifice everything for truth, including myself!—The power of a god is right before us. Humanity can understand and control this power, and our world can advance further! Do you understand, you fool! You actually want to throw it away?"
Exuding an extremely icy aura from head to toe, Parvis held the Flame God's arm in his embrace.
Although he didn't often act, many Rhine Lab Operators knew that he was a powerful Originium Arts user, no less than the Director and Director Saria.
"This is the most direct opportunity to experience the legendary power of the Fire Demon. I will protect this power you've given up, outline its Spell model, and hand it over to my students. Don't be foolish anymore, Mr. Goki."
With a calm yet somewhat crazed expression, Parvis unleashed a massive blizzard within a square meter around him. The cold air instantly cooled the surroundings, dropping directly to tens of degrees below zero.
But even so, he still couldn't suppress the bursting hot energy in his arms, only able to seize the last few seconds of his life to analyze and record the way this power operated, a look of ecstatic joy on his face.
"If possible, please tell Ms. Olivia Hermer that she is my most excellent student. Also, please convey a message to Director Saria, Mr. Goki, this excellent hunter is as stubborn and idiotic as you are—"
But very quickly, a silver cold light interrupted Parvis's words. A small silver throwing knife, dyed with flames, pierced through the ice-blue Spell and directly embedded itself in Parvis's neck—hunters usually used it to attract enemy attention, but it could also kill.
"Ha, then drown in your ideals... Damn it, I've tolerated you for too long, Parvis. In Byrgenwerth, you could at least be an associate Director. Laurence and Micolash must have a lot in common with you. Get down, Skadi!"
Feeling the terrifying, now unstoppable power, and knowing that even jumping down wouldn't allow him to escape, Goki gave Parvis the middle finger, unhesitatingly pulled Skadi into his arms, and pressed her down onto the solidified Giant's head.
Compared to Skadi, he himself had more resistance to the power of a god—this was a genuine blow from a god! Even if weakened, it was still a god!
According to Goki's estimation, he shouldn't die, but he would at least be half-dead—and the most infuriating thing was that he wouldn't be able to get his own power!
"Heh—"
And at this moment, whether it was Goki's illusion or not, a faint feminine chuckle suddenly echoed in his mind—the pure gold riding crop at his waist suddenly flickered.
"Ah, later pioneer, your courage I admire. Unknown territories await us all to explore. If he becomes a small obstacle on your path, it doesn't matter, I am with you."
A golden, light-forged eye suddenly rose on Goki's forehead.
And a illusory sand barrier, as Parvis was torn apart, gently enveloped Goki with a soft power.
Ding—
Immediately after, everyone in the Rainforest closed their eyes.
A brilliant crimson light covered the entire Rainforest.
