Chapter 601 - [Fated Encounters: Nyzzet"s Labyrinth Conquest] 63/?: Begudhur"s Demise...
-----
"So he can heal his wounds through a Skill similar to mine? He even yelled "Uroboros"… How more obvious can you be, Begudhur?" thought Kireina as she glanced at the fights.
Begudhur fought against the five wolves, who had used their armors to transform into a mechanical giant, similar to how Kireina had envisioned months ago. Such dream had finally come true, and the combination of each armor into a bigger creature showed outstanding results, making the five wolves, who shouldn"t be capable of standing a chance against Begudhur individual, becoming strong enough to put him in danger, to the point that he was about to become desperate.
However, Kireina felt as if Begudhur"s power had multiplied a bit after recovering, slowly overwhelming the wolves…
"Well, I never planned for anyone to fight in small groups, time to send the Demon Trio… Remember you three to also do Docking and join the wolves!" said Kireina to the Demon Trio, Palami, Raito, and Asure, who was waiting for her instructions inside of her Inner Realm: Soul World.
Each one of them was wearing a large body suit armor, Palami was wearing one that was white and gold, covered and decorated in feather and wing decorations, it also had large metallic wings for her to fly, and it covered her blade and sword as well, making them twice as bigger, just like herself.
Raito was also wearing a golden and purple suit, which had a sleeker design for his fast movements, it was infested with jewels that enhanced and channeled electricity, and most of the material in the armor was Vudia"s gold, which was, perhaps, the best mineral for electric conductivity. Vudia"s gold was a new type of mineral only created with her birth, it channeled the power of the blessings she possessed, creating an outstanding metal.
And last but not least, Asure, who was already a giant, wore a heavy type of armor, with brown and metallic gray colors, decorated with spikes and long horns at the helmet. His enormous mace was covered by the armor as well, and he also now had a new pair of arms through the armor"s abilities.
However, they were sent not to use their new powers individually, but to as soon as possible combine together into something similar to the five wolves and then a.s.sist them. Kireina"s plan was to both ultimately combining too, creating a larger and even stronger mech!
"Very well then, Kireina-sama! We shall not disappoint you!" said Palami, flying out of her Inner Realm through a portal she designed inside a pore in her enormous and grotesque fleshy body.
"Let"s prove Kireina-sama what we are made of, Palami, Asure!" said Raito.
"Yes, I will show what I am made of, so Valentia can appreciate my efforts!" said Asure.
"Valentia…? Hmm…" muttered Kireina, making Asure ran away from the Inner Realm faster than Raito.
Asure, Palami, and Raito"s armors flashed in bright light, as the three merged together into a great mechanical giant, just as big as the five wolves mech.
This mech had a robust design, as it took upon Asure"s mech for its torso and legs, while the arms merged with Asure and Palami, gaining six arms instead. Each arm held a weapon, such as blades, odachi, s.h.i.+elds, mace, and an axe, and the head resembled a furious demon, with spiraling horns piercing the sky.
However, it was not as slow as it looked like…
Clack, clack!
The design of the demon bean change, it suddenly became slimmer and more flexible, and enormous cannon-like electricity generators appeared on its back, alongside the enormous wings which began to flash with electricity and piercing yellow light!
Flas.h.!.+
Within a few seconds of transforming, the Demon Trio flew towards Begudhur with great speed, cras.h.i.+ng against the voracious Demon G.o.d with a loud explosion, the countless weapons suddenly began to drill upon the fiend"s main head, as it roared in pain.
"GRRRRAAAA! From where this flea came from?!" he roared, as he twisted his neck and tried to devour the Demon Trio with one bite.
"Not going to let ya!" laughed Raito with his youthful voice, as just before Begudhur were to devour them, the six arms raised into the sky as an enormous cannon appeared in the chest of the mechanical demon trio giant!
FLAs.h.!.+
A ray of lightning and pressurized bolts, shrouded in piercing and holy light, alongside the deadly pressure of earth itself fell upon Begudhur"s head, charged with G.o.d Devour, the attack was simply devastating, making Begudhur roar in pain due to the new foe"s immense speed and reaction time!
BOOM!
"GGGRRRAAA! Unnghhh…!"
Begudhur fell to the ground, as Kireina and her Domain began to entangle his entire body, slowly trying to devour and parasitize him.
"NNNNGGGAAH! I won"t die hereeeee!"
Begudhur was losing it even after gaining such great intellect after his evolution and metamorphosis. Twisting his body desperately as he tried to defend himself from Kireina"s enormous and grotesque flesh twisting and entangling his entire body.
Zudig, who was fighting against the Blood Fairy Sisters Trio alongside Truhan, Celica, Mady, and Ismene, noticed Begudhur"s conduct, and could not help but gnash his teeth in frustration.
"Why is he acting like a stupid kid?! This stupid monster!" roared Zudig in anger, as he defended himself from Truhan"s blazing axe and cannons of flames that constantly covered and burned his body.
The Demon Trio flew back towards the five wolves, who seemed to have taken a powerful blow into their entire armor which was slowly beginning to heal back.
"Are you guys okay?" asked Palami"s voice, as the enormous demon extended its arms and began to conjure a blinding holy light that healed even the armor.
"Much better now that you"re here, guys," said Wagyu.
"We were doing quite fine until he went berserk and healed himself…" said Kekensha.
"His power suddenly increased to over two times the original! How can G.o.ds be so ridiculous?" asked Yuki.
"No matter! Master got it trapped now!" said Kurimu.
"Yes, but master is busy trying to not let the mysterious s.p.a.ce Attribute G.o.d escape, we must hurry and kill Begudhur before she cannot hold him any longer!" said Tsuchimizu.
"You"re right! Let us do docking again! All of us!" said Palami.
"Yes, let"s do it!" said Kekensha, alongside the other wolves.
Flas.h.!.+
The enormous metallic wolf and the demon trio mechs flashed in blinding and colorful lights, as their entire components separated once again, each individual and their armors began to rea.s.semble together into a greater mechanical giant.
The armors began to extend as if they were alive, metallic tentacles entangled each other and combined.
Asure"s armor became the torso, growing two times Asure"s size and becoming sharp and even heavier.
Kekensha"s armor also grew at such sizes, extending itself as if it were a golden plate atop the torso and generating a wolf-like helmet head, alongside his enormous and golden wings.
Palami"s armor grew three times its size, as she sat comfortably inside, the armor shaped itself into a large and robust metallic arm, possessing an enormous paladin s.h.i.+eld and a sword.
Wagyu"s armor grew in size to up to two times and became another arm, its shaped itself more flexible and covered in spikes, possessing long claws and the shadow blade from before.
Kurimu and Tsuchimizu remained as the legs, but this time they were shaped like those of a beast, although the mech design was clearly bipedal, it gave it a wild look, unique to this new model.
Meanwhile, Yuki and Raito became the other two arms, ending the design with an enormous golden-winged four-armed demonic metallic giant, almost resembling Kireina"s legendary transformations, but giving a different feeling of unison, as this giant was formed by the combination of many friends and allies working and fighting together for a single cause!
To finish it off, enormous red horns grew atop the golden wolf head of the giant mech, alongside an enormous and wild wolf jaw at the chest, which was covered in an X-shaped crimson metallic decoration. At each shoulder of the mechanical giant, there were the heads of wolves as well, and a long and sleek tail with the tip of a long spear appeared just to top it all off into an even more ridiculous and over the top design, which Kireina fell in love with the moment she saw it.
"GRAAAAA! Let me goooo! I won"t die to you, Kireina!!!" roared Begudhur, infusing his entire body with pink and purple ethereal energy and beginning to enhance himself completely with it, his muscles suddenly bulged as he found the strength to escape from her endless tentacles filled with sharp teeth"s… although with the cost of a quarter of his flesh already eaten!
"NNGGHAA! Even while she is busy keeping that Kheseerad from not escaping, her flesh itself is a terrifying being! I cannot simply fall into the ground, or I will be eaten sooner or later… Ungh… My soul feels weakened… She at least ate a quarter of it in this little time?!" thought Begudhur while shrieking in pain, considering in healing himself again and using the last use of Uroboros that he was saving, as he was very short on Divine Energy reserves.
The biggest difference between Begudhur and Kireina"s Uroboros Skill was that Begudhur required Divine Energy to trigger it, while Kireina could simply use it without any need for any energy to be spent. This was because Kireina"s flesh had become Uroboros, her soul became Uroboros, and her Devour Skill was also Uroboros. Kireina had become the personification of the skill itself, while Begudhur had become a Primordial Beast with its name… It was mysterious, but it seemed as if their Skills, although named equally, had different effects and requirements to be used.
To resume it, Kireina"s Uroboros was a pa.s.sive power, while Begudhur"s Uroboros was an activate power, and activating it required Divine Energy, a lot, probably needing more than most of Begudhur"s Divine Techniques.
However, thanks to Begudhur"s Divinity Devouring, he did not need to conjure Divine Technique"s anymore, as he could transform any skill or spell into something similar through it. So Begudhur was saving all the Divine Energy only for Uroboros.
SPARK!
Suddenly, as Begudhur tried to recover while ignoring his surroundings, a flash of rainbow lightning fell upon him, clas.h.i.+ng against his main head as the fiend roared in anger and pain.
"GRAAAAAA! W-WHAT?!"
Begudhur glared at the fiend that hit him, he was fairly sure that the wolves had been hit quite hard by his jaws before he was thrown to the ground by the new foe, but now none of the two were here, but instead, an even greater mechanical giant showed up in the span that he took over escaping from Kireina"s lovely embrace.
The enormous mechanical giant reached almost one hundred meters now, and it was frightful and overwhelmingly bloodthirsty… Begudhur quickly realized that the Aura it possessed was very similar to the wolves and to the one that threw him into the ground!
"They have merged…?! Just how… Just how is it possible to do such a thing?! And their power has suddenly skyrocketed as well! Miserable rats, just how much do you plan on using your weakling tactics?! No matter how hard you all work together, it will never reach the power of a G.o.d such as myse-"
BOOOM!
"NNNGGYAAAAAAAA!"
With a flash of rainbow lightning, the enormous mech warrior appeared in front of Begudhur as if it were teleporting. It raised its weapons as it infused them with G.o.d Devour and then crushed Begudhur"s skull with them at an immense speed and power, to the point that the hit was akin to a meteor falling from s.p.a.ce.
Begudhur"s head was filled with tremendous pain as he felt it crack open and explode into pieces.
"GGGUUUOOOO…! …U-Uroboros…!"
Begudhur felt the pain all across his body, but because he was a G.o.d, and a t.i.tanic one at that, he did not die simply by a hit in the head, even if it exploded into pieces due to that. The head began to quickly regenerate as Begudhur desperately conjured Uroboros for the third and last time.
Begudhur was once again back to a healthy figure, even though the damage of G.o.d Devour should weaken him, he regenerated most of such wounds, however, the part of the soul that he lost from it was not regained, the wound closed, but it did not mean that he simply gained back what he lost.
"I"m going to devour you all! I will not fall! I will crawl! I will kill! I will not fall! I will never fall against rats like yourselves!!! Divine Aura! Divine Soul Coating! Divine Aura Barrier! Ferocious Worm Swarm! Parasitizing Rays! Gluttonous Uroboros Domain! Divinity Devouring!!!"
Uroboros suddenly unleashed dozens of skills, spells, and techniques one after another, desperately trying to fend off the dangerous enemy in front of himself.
However, the combination of the demon trio and the five wolves did not falter, clas.h.i.+ng against him with their powerful weapons, slas.h.i.+ng through his flesh and soul, crus.h.i.+ng his flesh and sol with the giant mace, slicing through the flesh and bones with ease with an enormous odachi, like lighting, flames, and blazing horns seared it apart through an incessant onslaught of destruction.
Each attack of Begudhur was blocked and destroyed, and his flesh began to fall all around into pieces, while his soul trembled in pain, trying desperately to live another second!
"GRYAAAAA! I DON"T… I DON"T WANT TO DIEEE!"
"Don"t worry, you will become one with me, Begudhur!" roared the voice of Zudig, as he opened a giant portal to his Divine Realm, releasing hundreds of Divine Beasts over Truhan"s group and then flas.h.i.+ng with all his might towards Begudhur and the demon trio and wolves!
"Thanks to you, Begudhur is now all smoothened for consumption!" laughed Zudig.
"What?!"
The demon trio and the wolves could not react in time as they were using all of their minds and strength into killing Begudhur, concentrating their entire energy and mind into the task given, Zudig appeared from the sides and by shaping his arms and legs as dragon jaws, he fired a powerful Breath Blast of a sickly green color five times! Clas.h.i.+ng against the metallic giant and sending it flying across the sky!
"Z-Zudig? You saved me?!" asked Begudhur, barely gasping for air.
"Yes, I"ve saved you, because you"re a nice meal that I cannot simply lose!" laughed Zudig, as his entire body mutated into a voracious jaw, devouring Begudhur"s wounded soul and what remained of his flesh.
"GRRRRYAAAAA! You…! Bas… tard…!"
Begudhur was quickly eaten by Zudig in an instant, as Zudig"s entire body began to tremble and pulsate… His crimson eyes flashed in an eerie light as his entire soul mutated even further what he thought he was capable of…
"GAHAHAHA! I have got it! I"ve finally acquired it!" he laughed, as his entire body began to mutate and shapes.h.i.+ft, his arms became like voracious undead worms, and his wings grew up to ten times their original size, his neck grew long like a snake, and more heads grew all as well across his grotesque body.
"So this is what he was… A Primordial Beast…! And I have acquired it! The power of the Primordial Beast, Uroboros!"
Zudig could not help but laugh incessantly over his triumph, a great amount of power was rus.h.i.+ng through his head and he was losing the small dot of sanity left on his mind. His body grew larger and more grotesque by the second, it was as if he had unlocked yet a new power that not even Begudhur had before… but through devouring him, he unlocked it!
Kireina glanced at the laughing G.o.d with a calm demeanor, his actions and words did not seem to surprise her.
