The Desire Bomb was activated.
In an instant, a nauseating pinkish-purple light erupted.
The air throughout the underground command post turned viscous, and countless lewd sounds whispered cryptically in their ears.
The walls even began to seep a greasy, filthy liquid.
This was pure, unadulterated chaos and Desire Energy.
Once detonated, nearly half of Winred City would be contaminated by a spiritual plague, and all living beings would be reduced to beasts of desire, knowing only to copulate and devour.
Cain's face wore the madness and pleasure of a mutual annihilation.
He had already begun to imagine these three hateful girls before him having their minds consumed by desire, tearing at each other's clothes, exposing the ugliest postures in the world.
However, the hellish painting he anticipated did not appear.
The moment the pinkish-purple light flared.
"Domain Expansion."
Su Wan's voice was as cool and clear as ever.
With her as the center, an extreme cold capable of freezing the soul suddenly spread!
Crack! Crackle!
The viscous Desire Energy in the air was instantly frozen, turning into pink ice crystals that fell rustlingly.
The filth seeping from the walls also solidified into ugly ice sculptures of various shapes.
[Glacial Domain]!
The Desire Bomb that was about to explode bore the brunt of the attack.
Its pulsation frequency, eroded by the extreme cold, plummeted from dozens of times per second to once per second, as if trapped in absolute slow motion.
Thick frost covered it, suppressing the berserk energy within, holding it back from detonating.
"What?!"
The smile on Cain's face froze.
His ultimate trump card had been... slowed down by a single spell?
Had the God become so weak that...
This brief delay might be meaningless to anyone else.
But for Lin Xiyue, it was already enough.
"I've been waiting for this!"
The girl's eyes flashed with a gleam of excitement, advancing instead of retreating as she charged forward in a single bound!
The great shield in her hand, [Blackstone's Protection], burst forth with a dazzling golden light at this moment.
On the shield's surface, complex rune magic circles lit up layer by layer, and a perfect hexagonal golden aura condensed into shape in the center of the shield's face.
Lin Xiyue twisted her wrist, drawing a perfect arc from right to left, leaving a golden trail of light in its wake.
Golden Parry!
Time, at this moment, was stretched infinitely long.
Cain's pupils reflected the scene inside the bomb, where the suppressed Desire Energy finally shattered the icy shackles and detonated with a thunderous boom!
A pink torrent of destruction gushed out from the crystal.
Then, it slammed into that golden shield.
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
That berserk energy, enough to pollute half a city, was perfectly and unceremoniously guided away from the thick shield toward another direction.
A deadly 180-degree redirection.
Boom!
A dull impact echoed.
The perfectly reflected Desire Energy slammed squarely and completely back into its original owner: Cain himself.
"Urgh... no... ghk... ohhhh!"
Cain's screams cut short, turning into a series of meaningless, bizarre sounds.
His body, wrapped in pinkish-purple light, began a grotesque stretching and deformation!
His height was forcibly stretched to three meters, his masculine clothes shredding inch by inch.
Muscle and bone shifted and reshaped with ear-grating snaps, his frame violently pulled taut.
Curves grew wildly in defiance of physical common sense, chest swelling and hips flaring. She bore a striking resemblance to the Mother of Rebirth in the sky.
The light faded.
In his place stood a three-meter-tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed giant "beauty."
He... no, she was now a she!
Her features were exquisite, her proportions perfect, but her eyes were dull, a string of glistening saliva trailed from the corner of her mouth, and a foolish yet fervent smile was plastered on her face.
Her mind had instantly collapsed under the backlash of her own Desire Energy.
She had reaped what she sowed!
"Whoa!"
Lin Xiyue retracted her shield, her eyes shining with excitement as she circled the three-meter-tall "female Cain" twice, tsk-tsking in amazement.
"This is truly... a medical miracle! A perfect embodiment of human aesthetics! I wonder if the parts were updated along with this gender swap?"
As she spoke, she actually donned a pair of white gloves she had produced from somewhere, eager to step forward and conduct some "academic research."
"Xiyue! Stop messing around!"
Su Wan's cheeks flushed slightly as she grabbed Lin Xiyue's restless arm, her voice tinged with rare annoyance.
Xia Lian had already turned her face away, unable to look at the absurd scene.
"Alright, alright."
Dragged away by Su Wan, Lin Xiyue could only reluctantly abandon her grand plan to explore the unknown.
She turned on the communication device she had taken from the mecha, her tone as casual as if she had just finished a round of a game.
"Sis, we caught him, and he's still alive... except there's a little problem. He seems to have received the Mother Goddess's ultimate blessing. Now he's a three-meter-tall female, and his brain has gone Haywire. He's just been grinning foolishly the whole time. Terrible review! This BOSS doesn't drop any gear and just pollutes the eyes!"
In the team channel, Lin Qingyue's voice came through, tinged with amusement.
"Well done, everyone gets an MVP."
"As for me..."
Lin Qingyue chuckled lightly, her tone shifting.
"Your 'Decapitation Operation' seems to have brought about some unexpected chain reactions."
Almost the instant her words fell.
The earth-shattering War of Gods in the skies above Winred City came to an end.
"Awoooooo!!!"
A howl filled with resentment, despair, and agony tore through the heavens, shrill and piercing, as if a fatal weakness had been pierced by some weapon.
At that same moment, in all directions around Winred City, a dozen dust-covered figures came to a halt almost simultaneously.
They were "Purifiers" from the surrounding areas, having rushed over in haste, following the abnormal fluctuations of the Dungeon Energy.
"Look quickly! It's the Evil God's True Form!"
A burly man from Russia pointed to the sky, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Not just them, but the elegant swordsman from France, the mysterious witch from the British Empire., and the samurai squad from Japan...
These groups from all directions had completed the "Purification" of their respective surrounding regions. At this moment, they arrived at Winred City with excitement, vigilance, or perhaps a sense of eagerness to test their skills.
In their imaginations, this would be an earth-shattering battle between gods and demons, and they would be the heroes who stepped forward to end the evil!
However, the script of reality never played by the usual rules.
The Mother of Rebirth, who was frantically struggling against the Mechanical Divinity within her, felt her colossal Divine Body suddenly freeze.
The most crucial and final energy relay link between her and her earthly agent, the "Prophet" Cain, had been brutally severed as Cain's mind collapsed.
If Lin Qingyue's [Liberation of Thought] was pulling the plug on the internet cable...
...then Lin Xiyue's [Golden Parry] was directly and physically formatting the server.
Pulling the rug out from under him!
Deprived of its final external energy supply and violently backlashed by the Mechanical Divinity from within, this once-insufferable Evil God finally reached its end.
In the sky, the colossal form, flickering between divinity and corrupted code, began to crumble piece by piece.
It wasn't an explosion, nor a dissipation.
Instead, it was like a line of deleted code, a pixelated block being erased, "deleted" from this world bit by bit.
Flawless skin, long hair flowing like a starry river, deep eyes...
Everything turned into the purest, most harmless points of light, like a grand swarm of fireflies drifting into the sky and returning to the Void.
The crimson haze and gloom shrouding Winred City were completely purified at this moment.
The Purifiers who had just arrived, rubbing their hands in anticipation of a grand battle, stood completely stunned.
"This... This is it? It's over?"
A British Witch, her magic staff not even raised, watched as the Evil God dissolved into starlight and vanished completely.
The burly Russian man scratched his head, utterly bewildered. "We're too late... How the hell did this fight end so fast?"
The French Swordsman sheathed his rapier and sighed elegantly. "Truly... so elegant it caught us completely off guard."
No one knew what had actually happened inside.
All they knew was that by the time they arrived, the epic-grade Boss battle had already skipped to the victory animation.
Beams of white light, signaling the completion of the purification, lit up around them, preparing to teleport them out of the Dungeon.
Far away in Blackrock Stronghold, City Lord Punk, who had been waiting in vain for the expected cultist army to attack, witnessed their defection with his own eyes...
Punk: "Why do I feel like I've become the logistics staff?"
Lilina glanced at him. "If you're not logistics staff, do you still want to charge into battle? Look at your big belly!"
The long-lost sunlight of the Dungeon's sky spilled over Winred City.
Warm and serene.
The battle was over.
