The southern part of Mesopotamia was a primordial sea, a sea of origin. Legend had it that Tiamat was born from saltwater, and all life originated from water, born of the great ocean.
At this very moment, a massive horde of demonic beasts surged forward. Mo Shuying had led them on a long chase, over mountains and through valleys, and unknowingly, they were now not far from this great sea.
Without hesitation, these demonic beasts plunged into the sea, swimming towards its depths.
Although they were powerful demonic beasts nurtured by gods, swimming was child's play for them. However, crossing the vast expanse of the ocean would still cause countless demonic beasts to drown.
Not only that.
The moment these demonic beasts entered the sea, their magic and life force were absorbed by the seawater. Except for the high-level demonic beasts, the others didn't even make it far from the beach.
Even though the surface of the sea was already covered with the corpses of demonic beasts, those that followed continued to advance, stepping over the bodies of others. This scene resembled a pilgrimage, without a shred of hesitation.
"What in the world is going on?!"
Mo Shuying was in the air, but now these demonic beasts didn't even spare him a glance; they completely ignored him.
He tried attacking, but he was still met with indifference. These demonic beasts knew only to move forward!
"Mo Shuying, bad news!"
Dr. Roman's voice echoed in his ear again.
"What is it, Doctor?"
Mo Shuying already had a faint premonition in his heart. It seemed he still hadn't managed to prevent that one's arrival!
"News from Fujimaru! Gorgon was ambushed by Kingu and has been eliminated, but Merlin also fell victim!"
Roman looked at the screen before him, his face filled with solemnity. On the screen was a map of Mesopotamia's waters! At this moment, an extremely powerful magical energy was gathering at the center of the sea!
"What happened to Merlin? How did an old fox who's lived for a thousand years get caught? That's not right! The connection between Gorgon and Tiamat! The old man should have cut it off already, right?"
Mo Shuying was confused. If you told me it was anyone else, I'd believe you, but Merlin? How is that possible! I already told Merlin about Tiamat and Gorgon, and Merlin still got caught?
"Yes, regardless of the situation with Gorgon, Merlin said that that being was awakened by other means. Although it's still in a state of ignorance now, the powerful mental shockwaves have already shattered Dream Cage and cracked Merlin's Spirit Origin. He said it's a Beast! A Beast, one of the Seven Evils of Humanity! No longer the creator god who created the world, but a Beast of Vengeance here for revenge! Tiamat! He warned us that we absolutely cannot let her reach the shore! Otherwise, Uruk will be finished!"
Merlin still disappeared. Mo Shuying opened his mouth. History always repeats itself in surprisingly similar ways.
"So these demonic beasts are also...?"
"Yes! They're sacrificing themselves! There's an extremely powerful magical energy gathering beneath the sea. If I'm not mistaken... Tiamat has already awakened!"
No sooner had Roman finished speaking than the observer in front of him suddenly gasped!
"Deputy Director! An extremely powerful Spirit Origin is appearing in the sea! Stronger and larger than the Spirit Origins of the Three Goddesses! We can't determine its Class yet!"
Roman looked over! On the large screen, a vast area of red dots appeared on the sea map. He quickly changed the angle, rendering it in 3D. His eyes narrowed as he saw a gigantic humanoid creature slowly rising in the sea!
*"BOOM!!"*
Before Dr. Roman could explain, from the depths of the sea, a surge of black mud erupted! It created monstrous waves that spread outwards.
This black mud spread across the surface of the sea, engulfing the corpses of the demonic beasts. Soon!
"Gah! Gah! Gah! Gah!"
One by one, dark, pointed heads emerged from the black mud. They had no eyes! Their mouths were vertical! After hesitating for a few seconds, a large number of strange creatures began to swim rapidly towards the coast! It didn't take long for a large number of black monsters to reach the shore! Then they began to rush towards Uruk!
"These monsters..."
Mo Shuying watched as these monsters came ashore. Mo Shuying recognized these monsters: Lahmu, Tiamat's most mysterious offspring.
In myths and legends, they were supposed to be benevolent gods, but these Lahmu before him had four pointed claws like spears, and their legs were thin like tentacles. Once ashore, they scurried on all fours, making strange cackling sounds as they ran.
They were evil beasts!
Mo Shuying felt an innate revulsion towards these Lahmu, a natural animosity from humans and New Humans. Mo Shuying saw these Lahmu heading for Uruk, and there was no way he'd let them have their way! So!
*"Whoosh!"*
Mo Shuying quickly flew over the heads of these Lahmu, attracting quite a few of them to look up.
These creatures, despite having no eyes, made movements as if looking. After seeing Mo Shuying, they became even more agitated! They flailed their limbs and shrieked at the sky!
"You're too loud!"
Mo Shuying, who had flown to the front of the group, suddenly turned around! He unleashed a straightforward punch! These newly "born" Lahmu were still quite stiff in their movements. Even if the Lahmu at the very front saw Mo Shuying's incoming punch, it couldn't dodge!
*"BOOM!!"*
Mo Shuying's fist slammed hard into the Lahmu's face, smashing it into the ground. But Mo Shuying frowned. The feel was wrong!
Hard!
These black-skinned monsters looked flimsy, but their defense was incredibly high! After one punch, Mo Shuying quickly retreated, using his fists and feet to send all the approaching Lahmu flying!
But these flying Lahmu quickly got back up, seemingly without suffering any fatal damage.
"Oh, so your skin's tough, huh!"
Mo Shuying's eyes narrowed. He changed his stance, delivering a one-inch punch to an approaching Lahmu!
*"BOOM!"*
The sound of impact was completely different from before, a dull thud like a drum! This sent the Lahmu flying like a cannonball! It crashed into many other Lahmu and then exploded into points of light in the air!
When these Lahmu died, they turned into points of light and disappeared, unlike the other demonic beasts, which were still flesh and blood.
"Gah-gah-gah-gah!"
Mo Shuying's punch startled the Lahmu. Their boasted defenses had failed to stop his single blow. Crucially, after killing one Lahmu with that punch, Mo Shuying began slaughtering them like a tiger among sheep!
*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Mo Shuying's fists landed with bone-jarring force as he charged into the Lahmu horde, attacking relentlessly.
The Lahmu, fearless of death, grew frenzied and attacked Mo Shuying from all angles.
However, their attack methods were still rudimentary; they only used their four sharp claws to stab at Mo Shuying. Most of these attacks Mo Shuying dodged, and those he couldn't avoid landed on him without causing much damage, all blocked by his external shield.
So, the Lahmu began lunging at Mo Shuying, desperately trying to bind his hands, feet, and waist. They started to overwhelm him with sheer numbers, and soon Mo Shuying was pinned down by a swarm of Lahmu, but this was all intentional on his part!
"Come on!!"
Mo Shuying pulled his arms, drawing even more Lahmu towards him! The Lahmu clinging to him released their claws due to a sudden dizziness, and Mo Shuying seized the opportunity to break free! He then spun around and unleashed a punch!
"Intentional Blast Punch!"
*Boom!*
The accumulated Heroic Spirit Value made this punch explode like a cannon! The Lahmu directly in front of Mo Shuying were instantly cleared out!
Seeing the dense points of light before him, the other Lahmu began to retreat!
