Chu Hao stood atop Yum, smiling as he observed the scene that resembled a "judgment."
"You ask me… what I consider life?"
The seven angels stood tall in the sky, looking down on Chu Hao, awaiting his "defense."
Awaiting the defense of the one who had cultivated countless havens for fallen souls.
---
"Life… is simply life."
Chu Hao gave a wry smile and spoke in a voice small but clear enough.
"Life is neither the miracle gods speak of nor the wonder scientists describe. Life is simply life!"
"It is nothing extraordinary, yet not so common either."
"At least across the dimensions of the multiverse, life is not rare. It is a necessity that evolved from countless coincidences, a possibility born from the impossible."
"Life is born from chance, yet destroyed by inevitability!"
"I am no philosopher, but to me, life is merely an ordinary word!"
"However…"
Chu Hao gave a disdainful look toward the sky, where the angels twisted and shifted continuously.
"I am disappointed that you only ask this question."
"After witnessing my attacks and the countless deaths in your sleep, you still only ask… what I consider life?"
"Truly…"
"Utterly disappointing!"
"Your Creator isn't as clever as I imagined; the foolish one created such ignorant beings like you!"
---
Hearing this, the seven angels were finally enraged by Chu Hao's cold, evasive words.
They had never expected anyone to be so indifferent toward life, treating it as nothing more than a pile of tools.
---
"Bold one!"
"How dare you desecrate the great Lord!"
The seven angels immediately unleashed their powers, attacking Chu Hao.
Seven different attacks swept fiercely toward him, all carrying terrifying light attributes.
Chu Hao, however, looked at the angels coldly before disappearing from atop Yum.
In the next instant, he appeared at the edge of the battlefield, observing from afar.
---
"Very well, since you have lost the value of my interest…"
"Yum!"
At Chu Hao's command, Yum—the beast utterly loyal to the Endless Abyss—finally began its counterattack!
---
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Within a single breath, Yum faced the first wave of attacks from the angels!
Beams of light struck Yum's heads, and instantly, his blood splattered across the world with his agonized roars!
Yum's existence alone carried immense "toxicity," and his blood was even more potent.
Wherever it spilled, the world began to change.
Forests that had once been full of tall trees were instantly corrupted into barren wastelands.
Rivers and lakes, once home to fish and crustaceans, became pitch-black, stinking toxic swamps.
Even cities far from the battlefield were devastated by this blood.
---
Countless aliens screamed as they tried in vain to escape, but they could not avoid the disaster.
Everywhere they looked, Yum's black blood spread.
Those touched by it died instantly and horrifically.
Yet death was not the end.
Their contaminated corpses would rise from the polluted seas, becoming mindless mud-like creatures, continuing to spread plague and corruption.
Merely facing an attack from Yum exposed the plane to the full extent of his filthy powers.
---
Yum's counterattack began.
The eight heads on his crown, each representing a different authority, began emitting deadly rays.
The ground shattered beneath him, and mountains cracked.
One careless angel was struck by the beams, screaming as it fell.
Its body, made of pure light, was corroded significantly, and its radiant wings began to fall.
But this was not death.
In his home terrain, angels do not fall easily.
---
"Angels…!" "Messengers of the Lord…!" "Great ones…"
Countless whispers echoed across the universe.
All beings who believed in angels fueled the angels' strength.
In an instant, the angel, corroded by venom, was restored by innumerable prayers, brandishing its light wings and rejoining the battlefield.
---
"How dare you… create such beings to defile our Lord's world!"
With a swing of a sword, one of Yum's heads was severed!
---
"Here it begins, the final trump card of the Trial World, the ultimate battle!"
In the observation room, a mentor watched the angels' appearance, seeing one sever a head of Yum.
Such a formidable being made him worry about Chu Hao's challenge.
---
"Who do you think will win?"
"The angels? Or Chu Hao's mythic creature?"
He asked a colleague, who stroked his chin, hesitating.
Then, Wang Zhi spoke.
---
"The angels will win!"
Everyone was stunned.
"What?"
Wang Zhi repeated.
"The angels will win this battle."
"Chu Hao's monster may seem invincible, but in essence, it's still a mythic being."
"Those angels…"
Wang Zhi looked at the angel who had severed Yum's second head, concern in his expression.
"They are near demigod level. With the faith boost in the Trial World, their strength is approaching the edge of igniting the [Soul Sea]!"
"If this battle continues, Chu Hao's defeat is inevitable…"
"So…"
"Chu Hao, what method will you use to defeat these seemingly invincible enemies?"
