A bloody maw opened, tearing off large chunks of flesh.
[Ding! Divine flesh detected, fusion in progress.]
"Damnable fellow!"
Flesh God struggled frantically, but its movements were tightly restricted by the three-headed, six-armed King, leaving it unable to move an inch.
(Kid, leave some for me!)
101 watched with envy, manifesting Wind Power to also begin frantically devouring the deity's body.
Gluttony!
At this moment, King's Wind Power: Clone also unleashed its skill.
The Flesh God could only watch as its body was gradually consumed.
"The flesh essence contained within this guy's body is simply too massive." King couldn't help but remark.
If it weren't for 101 helping him share the load, he suspected he might have been bloated to the point of exploding.
[Ding! God devoured, physical strength increased.]
[Ding! Third-party mental intrusion detected, forcibly erasing.]
"No! What is this?!"
The Flesh God's mental power took advantage of the trio's devouring process to enter King's mental world. The result was self-evident. Before the Talent Fusion System, its consciousness was erased without any suspense.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for slaying a god. Skill learned: Star Fall.]
[Star Fall: Extract several planets from a different dimension, instantly absorb all their power, and deliver an all-out strike.]
[Ding! Automatically fused three talents, Hero's Heart progress increased by 1%.]
"Phew... It's finally over." King let out a long sigh of relief.
This was his first time slaying a god, and fortunately, it ended without further incident.
The system's notification also caught his attention. A majestic power flooded his body
Now, Hero's Heart had reached 91%.
'Only 9% more until Hero's Heart reaches its limit. I'm really looking forward to the day it hits 100%.'
King knew that if his Hero's Heart reached 100%, all his skills and moves would undergo a qualitative change, truly surpassing the limits of the human body and breaking the limiter.
[Ding! Mission triggered: Slay three deities. Reward skill: Replication.]
[Completion: 1/3.]
'Huh? Replication... isn't this Black Sperm's skill?'
King was slightly stunned to see the new missiom, followed by wild joy. He naturally knew how useful Black Sperm's skill was, but he didn't know how much strength his clones would retain if he kept splitting.
Buzz!
King returned to his original appearance, his Wind Power: Clone merged back into his body, and 101 also separated out.
'Physical strength is still Galaxy-level, no change. It seems I've reached a bottleneck.'
King felt his body had reached an extremely strong state, and he was now eager to find an opponent to test his current power.
"What a long-lost power."
Rumble!
A majestic power erupted from within 101. It had now surpassed its previous limits and stepped into a new realm.
Flesh Scythe!
Buzz!
101's palm transformed into a scythe, looking exactly like the Flesh God's move.
"Not only did you fuse and convert the energy, you even learned the moves?" King raised an eyebrow.
It seemed the biggest beneficiary of this battle was actually 101.
He wasn't worried about 101 turning against him after becoming stronger. After all, its Divine Core was still within the Talent Fusion System. If it had any treacherous thoughts, he could erase it at any time.
"Then the next step is to save Blast. I'm still two gods short." A cold glint flashed in King's eyes.
This time, there were at least three gods behind the 18th Galaxy System invasion force.
The Flesh God had been slain by him and 101 together. What remained was the one besieging Blast, and the God of the Tenth Galaxy hidden in the shadows, waiting for its moment.
"The one besieging Blast is likely the God of the 18th Galaxy, an old friend."
King had fought the God of the 18th Galaxy back on Earth, but at that time, the other party had descended forcibly, and its strength was heavily suppressed.
He had exerted immense effort just to expel it, but at the last moment, it still managed to take Garou away. King even suspected the opponent's ultimate goal might have been Garou.
"Hmph! I must kill it with my own hands."
101's angry voice rang out.
It clearly remembered how the God of the 18th Galaxy took the opportunity to invade Earth while it was held back by a Dimensional expert. Although it hadn't lost anything, such an act was a serious provocation among gods.
"Once we deal with these guys, it'll be about time to go to the 18th Galaxy and bring Garou back."
King knew that since the God of the 18th Galaxy deliberately took Garou at the end, it was likely interested in his growth potential. So, Garou was now very likely imprisoned or under Mind Control, serving as a God's puppet.
Cosmic Garou's strength already surpassed that of an ordinary Divine Emisssary. If a god cultivated him slightly, his strength would surely reach the Domain Lord level.
"The priority now is to save Blast. I wonder how the situation is on his end."
The Dimensional Fleet responsible for picking up the 10th Galaxy Brave Association members had successfully evacuated, but Blast and the other Dimensional experts seemed to be trapped here by the invasion army.
"101, can you sense them?" King asked.
Blast and the others' battlefield was certainly within a different dimension like theirs. Otherwise, the 10th Galaxy would have been destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle long ago.
"No problem, I'll show you the way. But I'll hide first to give it a big surprise later, hehe."
101's wretched laughter rang out.
It was now thoroughly enjoying the pleasure of sneak attacks.
Buzz!
A portal appeared, and King's figure vanished into it.
...
In the 10th Galaxy, the once incredibly prosperous five domains had now become a boundless purgatory.
The domain lords of the Sky Domain and Dragon Domain had both been slain by King, and the remaining three domain lords had all died in battle. Thus, the 18th Galaxy System invasion army had fully occupied the 10th Galaxy.
At this time, the races remaining in the five domains still held onto hope. After all, they had originally submitted to the Church. Although life was hard, at least they were still there.
They thought the God of the 18th Galaxy was no different from the previous gods—it was nothing more than changing bosses and being exploited once again.
As long as they obediently submitted to the god, they could ensure the continuation of their race.
But the actions of the 18th Galaxy System invasion army this time plunged all races into despair. Led by eight Domain Lords, hundreds of thousands of invaders emerged from the galaxy warships.
The massive army entered the five domains and began an indiscriminate massacre. Regardless of race, gender, or age, any living creature that could move was not spared. It was a total extermination.
The 10th Galaxy instantly turned into a living hell. By now, it was too late for the various races to resist. The invasion army seemed to have received some sort of order, frantically slaughtering every living being they encountered.
"Braves! Where are the braves?! Can anyone save us?!"
