Chapter 578 The God-Given Ones, The Final Battle!
Far from the battlefield, Bahamut, manifesting his true form as the Pluto Dragon, hovered high in the sky, his massive purple body blotting out the sun.
"That's the Sky Dragon's God-Slaying Magic! Chesgo looks like he's going to get serious!" Wendy's little face was filled with admiration.
Although she could also obtain some divine power from Osiris, she could not compare with Chase in terms of strength, proficiency, or compatibility. She could not even condense a phantom, and could only barely stimulate and activate the Dragon Power mode.
"The fight just now already caused that much damage. If they get serious, I feel like this land won't be able to hold on at all!" Lucy said with some concern.
Only because she had Xiaoba by her side, otherwise, knowing how outrageous Chess could be when he fought, she would have wanted to stay even further away.
"The sky is so blue—" Erza exclaimed blankly as she looked at the sky.
Despite being so excited about the wedding dress, Wendy's revelation put her in a strange, dazed state, from which she hasn't recovered yet.
"Damn it! That selfish bastard Chase!" Natsu clenched his fists and kept pounding Bahamut's back, looking extremely angry.
Now that things had come to this, he could only suppress his displeasure and obediently watch from the sidelines.
Realizing that he was probably no match for the humanoid phoenix was secondary; the main thing was that Chess's magical ability to obtain new cards through battle was no secret within the guild.
He cannot intervene in their battle.
Bahamut's powerful dragon face showed a hint of comfort and ease: Natsu's punches, aimed at venting his anger, were just right for it.
At the same time, the attention of those vertical pupils was entirely focused on the battlefield in front of them.
Compared to the time we fought, this guy's strength has clearly increased again. What kind of monster did I just adopt as my boss?!
Hades was deeply shocked: the sky dragon phantom formed by Chase's God-Slaying Magic was so solid that it was almost tangible, with its red scales, sharp fangs, and blue gems clearly visible. It was practically a miniature version of the true form of a god!
Even it, far from the battlefield, is like this; needless to say, the humanoid phoenix facing the oppressive power of the gods is even more so.
The top-tier demon from over four hundred years ago contracted its pupils, its face filled with horror and astonishment.
"This aura—"
The humanoid phoenix murmured softly, its fists clenching involuntarily at its sides, thick and viscous phoenix fire overflowing from between its clenched fists.
Whoosh!
With a sudden burst of divine power, and without a word, Chase vanished from his spot in an instant.
When it reappeared, the crimson phantom was already directly above the humanoid phoenix.
Chase swayed his body, bringing with him the phantom of a sky dragon, and God's Claw, Exodia's Fist overlapped with his own fist.
"Sky Dragon's Crushing Fist!"
The terrifying punch swung downwards, and the mere force of the blow tore the earth apart, creating spiderweb-like cracks!
The humanoid phoenix was hit head-on, but the expected scene of blood splattering did not occur.
Its body rapidly disintegrated in the terrifying shockwave, turning into streams of magma that bypassed Chess and converged above him, condensing into a giant fireball.
A humanoid phoenix appeared behind the fireball, its fiery wings fully spread, and it raised its arms and pressed down heavily: "Phoenix Flame Bullet!"
Chase seemed to have anticipated this, as the phantom of the sky dragon behind him suddenly turned around, its open jaws flashing with lightning: "Summon Lightning Bolt!"
boom!
Two completely different types of energy collided violently in mid-air, and in an instant, fire and water scattered and flowed, and electric arcs jumped wildly.
In the end, the Lightning Summoning Bomb prevailed, violently crushing the Phoenix Flame Bomb and carrying its remaining power straight up to the humanoid phoenix high above.
The humanoid phoenix frowned slightly, seemingly not expecting its attack to be neutralized, and quickly retracted its wings to envelop itself.
A crimson oval energy barrier was then generated, and the already weakened lightning bolts only caused a ripple when they hit it.
Almost simultaneously, the cards spun, and Chase, wielding the Dragon Slayer Greatsword and the Chaos Swordsman's Light and Dark Sword, streaked through the air.
Whizzing!
The figure flashed by, and two slashes imbued with divine power arrived one after the other. The Dragon-Slaying Slash shattered the energy barrier, while the Chaos Slash hit precisely, severing half of the humanoid phoenix's wing and landing on the chest cavity that was being protected inside, bringing out a patch of bright red blood!
However, the humanoid phoenix, despite suffering such a heavy blow, remained unmoved.
Seizing the moment when Chase was caught off guard and his attack froze as they passed each other, it opened its mouth and unleashed a phoenix roar that sounded like a dragon's howl.
The beam of destruction, carrying a dangerous aura, instantly engulfed Chase, who had no time to dodge.
"Sky Dragon's Superconducting Wave!"
To the phoenix's utter surprise, the attack that followed came from the ground!
By using a trap card to swap positions with the card that was thrown before launching the attack, the game was turned around, turning a disadvantage into an absolute advantage!
Boom!!
The superconducting wave struck the humanoid phoenix squarely, unleashing a devastating barrage of lightning, with divine power spreading outwards in concentric circles!
Once the heart-pounding shock subsided and the blinding lightning dissipated.
The humanoid phoenix that reappeared in sight was badly injured, its body riddled with crackling electricity, its flesh and blood exposed, and the stark white bones inside could be faintly seen.
"I never imagined that humanity in this world had grown to such an extent—"
Even so, the humanoid phoenix remained aloof and arrogant, saying, "Unfortunately, I am immortal, and no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phoenix fire blazed fiercely, and the hideous and terrifying wounds that it passed through instantly disappeared.
Even the wings that were initially cut off have all been restored to their original state!
Seeing this, Chess didn't show much emotion, but just thought to himself, "As expected."
Eclair, who drank the blood of the phoenix, gained eternal life, so the phoenix, having undergone rebirth, could not be killed so easily.
and----
Chase looked down at his slightly clenched fist.
Besides his "immortality," the humanoid phoenix's ability to absorb magic was still in effect. After a battle, his magic was draining much faster than it would normally be.
This situation is quite similar to the battle with the Demon King before, except that the Demon King's other ability is demon transformation, not immortality.
From this perspective, these two are actually quite a good match; no wonder they can become each other's nemesis.
Unfortunately, the phoenix encountered itself, who had mastered the power of the gods!
"Really? Would you like to sense it more carefully?" Chase asked with a smile, looking at the humanoid phoenix in mid-air.
sizzle.
A small arc of electricity flashed across the side of the humanoid phoenix's face, and blood lines appeared afterward.
The humanoid phoenix was taken aback at first, then used its power to repair the area.
The phoenix fire burned again, but this time it seemed to be restrained by some force, and it was impossible to erase the bloodline no matter what it did.
This is where Chase's confidence comes from: the god-slaying magic he uses is not just a form, but a true divine power transformed from the sky dragon Osiris!
If the phoenix's immortality could surpass that of the gods, then this world would have been destroyed long ago, and there would be no need for Eclair's people to seal it.
"So that's how it is. My previous intuition was correct."
After its attempts failed, the humanoid phoenix's expression gradually darkened. "Only the power of the gods can harm me, you—"
"As expected, he is a 'divinely gifted one' who received power from the gods!"
Good heavens, this thing really has an extraordinary origin!
Recalling his conversation with Bahamut earlier, Chase understood perfectly, but said calmly, "God-given? Stop flattering yourself. You're just a false god."
11
The information provided by Ed himself from the divine realm did not mention the term "divinely gifted."
And since anything involving the realm of gods is inevitably related to Ankhseram and his gang, he wanted to extract more information from them.
"A false god? How dare you ants discuss the god of demons!"
As expected, the humanoid phoenix suddenly became agitated. "Once I destroy this world and eliminate the superfluous vessels, my lord will descend and achieve a higher level of advancement. At that time, what will your gods be worth?!"
Whether it was due to being sealed for too long causing mental derangement, or because it had ample confidence in itself, it surprisingly revealed its true nature.
This saved Chase the trouble of convincing himself, but new problems arose.
The demon god mentioned by the other party was not among the nine gods that Edches had told them about. Moreover, when the gods such as Ankhseram from Tenrou Island descended before, they clearly stated that the "lower world" they were in was simply unable to bear their true forms descending.
This is the fundamental reason why he was able to summon the Dark Archmage to fight against him and thus avoid that deadly crisis.
But now the humanoid phoenix says that by clearing away the excess carriers, the demon god with zero information can descend and even achieve a higher level of advancement!
It's even grander than I imagined! The world of Fairy Tail... even that old rascal Hiro Mashima couldn't quite deliver; he failed to tell a complete story of its world!
After silently complaining to himself, Chess sighed softly.
It feels like there are even more troubles now.
When he looked up again, his eyes instantly sharpened: "Since you've said that, then we can't let you live and endanger the world!"
hum!
His heart pounded violently, and a large amount of magic surged out, merging with the power of the Sky Dragon to unleash an even more condensed and terrifying divine aura!
"We are all divinely ordained, and I admit I cannot defeat you for the time being, but—"
The humanoid phoenix instinctively sensed a deadly aura emanating from him, a flicker of surprise crossing her face before she regained her composure. "You cannot stop the world's destruction!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Its body suddenly burst into an incomparably deep phoenix flame, which seemed to have a self-awareness and kept bubbling out.
A sharp cry rang out, and a large bird made entirely of crimson flames flapped its wings and flew out, its scarlet pupils radiating a ferocious light unique to demons.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, the same "phoenixes" took shape in the flames, densely packed behind the humanoid phoenixes.
Each one exuded a terrifying aura, with at least an S-rank mage level!
"These phoenixes are all my true form, equally immortal and indestructible. As long as I stop you, it's perfectly sufficient for them to reap the rewards of this continent."
The humanoid phoenix hovering in front of each "mini sun" thoughtfully provided an explanation.
In terms of destructive power alone, these fiery phoenixes are still quite far from destroying the world, but their most terrifying aspect lies in—
They perfectly inherited the Phoenix's original abilities, absorbing power through repeated destruction and growing infinitely with their immortal bodies!
Therefore, the human-shaped phoenix is confident of victory!
"Pfft." Chess couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Whether the phoenix itself can stop him is another matter, but when it comes to calling for reinforcements, he has never lost to anyone!
"My turn, draw a card!"
Chase drew a card, slashed it through the air, and slowly raised his arm. "Come forth, my companions, and deliver the most devastating blow to the enemy!"
Buzz!
Under the incredulous gaze of the humanoid phoenix, the card held high emitted an incomparably dazzling white light.
One after another, figures emerged from the depths of the light.
Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Destroyer Dragon Gandora, Chaos Swordsman, Baby Dragon, and the first appearance of Red-Eyes Black Dragon —
Apart from the dormant White Dragon and White Stone, all the card spirits made their appearance, guarding behind Chess and creating an unparalleled visual impact!
As Chess pressed down with his palm, the card sprites instantly understood, some activating magic circles under their feet, others flapping their wings and roaring, and still others bending their legs and unleashing power.
The next second, streams of light of various colors swept across the ground, heading towards the scattered fiery phoenixes!
Boom boom boom boom!!
Various magical spells bloomed in the sky like grand fireworks, and earth-shattering explosions resounded throughout the entire sky!
Seeing that all the derivative forms sent out were intercepted, the humanoid phoenix's expression changed drastically: "Damn human, how dare you!"
""
The plan to conquer the world ended before it even began.
Upon realizing this, it became completely enraged, and boundless phoenix fire shattered its skin and flesh, spilling out wildly and rapidly expanding and spreading around its body.
A scorching wave of air swept out, burning everything around it to ashes, even distorting and deforming the space itself.
A dark shadow fell down, and when Chess looked up, he saw a bird-shaped monster with a wingspan of nearly a thousand meters and its body flowing with fiery magma appearing in the sky!
"This ghostly look is more like it," Chase commented with a laugh.
Whether it was the initial steel sphere or the humanoid form just now, neither of them had anything to do with the word "phoenix".
Even so, he still sensed an extremely strong aura of danger emanating from the other party, and his nerves involuntarily tensed up, feeling a very strong sense of oppression!
"Well then, I'll unleash my full potential too—"
"Exodia Set - Full Magic Unleashed, Second Magic Source Activated, Sky Colossus's Might!"
Boom boom boom.
A massive divine array suddenly unfolded, and a colossal, deep blue shadow, brimming with oppressive power, enveloped Chase and lifted him high into the air. A phantom of a sky dragon roared and coiled around him, inscribing crimson runes on the rapidly enlarging bronze suit before merging and overlapping with the deep blue shadow.
The giant, whose size also blotted out the sky, opened its red eyes, and with just a simple step, it could shake the earth!
This is the strongest magic that combines the three strongest powers that Chase currently possesses!
There was no further communication.
The moment their eyes met, the two colossal beings, one in the sky and one on the ground, clashed fiercely, engaging in a final battle!
