Su Zhou remained silent. He hadn't uttered a single word since the battle began. Now, his violet-blue Dragon Pupils were devoid of emotion, their cold gaze fixed on the three remaining enemies.
Gazing at the trembling Divine Beasts, the Great Dragon silently bared its sharp fangs.
"Run!"
In reality, no Divine Beast actually shouted the word. The very instant the thought occurred, they turned and fled for their lives back toward their army, moving even faster than they had on their approach.
This was no disgrace. It was an encounter with an unknown terror the likes of which the Divine Beasts had never experienced. Any living creature would have made the same choice in this situation.
—At first, they had thought that letting a Divine Beast with a powerful Breath attack strike freely from a distance was a senseless waste of their Personal Guards and assets, so they decided to close in and stop it.
—Then, they discovered it truly did specialize in Breath attacks, capable of using dozens of miniature Breaths to block enemies who tried to get close.
—After that, they realized this creature even possessed incredible Defense Power! While not so strong as to be despair-inducing, it was still utterly baffling.
But now, the truth had revealed itself: this Divine Beast that seemed to excel at ranged combat was actually strongest in its physical form—strong enough to shatter their heads with a single punch?
"Monster! Monster!"
The fleeing Ghost Car screamed in its mind: 'How is this possible?! The Thunder Light coiling around that Celestial Dragon is its most powerful shield, comparable to a true Thunderbolt! Even I felt a paralyzing sensation just by getting close. Any physical contact would either result in being scorched black or thrown back by the current... How could he just shatter it with a punch?!'
'And my Spirit Blade earlier was a Soul Skill that bypasses all defenses to strike the Soul directly! All Divine Beasts avoid it, knowing that taking it head-on means certain grievous injury, or even instant death... Could it be that even his Soul is so resilient it's nearly indestructible?! How is that possible?!'
It didn't dare look back now, but it could sense a tremendous roar from behind—the sound of the Giant Dragon stomping on the ground as it accelerated, making the very earth tremble!
Through its Spiritual Power senses, the Ghost Car realized with terror that the Divine Toad's aura had vanished... With just a single blow. That bizarre White Dragon had used a single chop of its hand to rip the Divine Toad open. The Divine Toad's 'Alien Species Unity of Heaven and Man'—an ability that warped the surrounding Spiritual Power environment, preventing all enemies from casting Magic or mobilizing Spiritual Power—had been utterly useless. It only worked against the casting of Magic Techniques, but this enemy could tear it to shreds with sheer physical strength alone!
Next to disappear was the Divination Turtle... Although its Defense Power was immense, and it had incredible coordination and adaptability, it was simply too slow. Even if it had a head start when accelerating, it was only a matter of time before the Monster caught up... The Ghost Car could hear the sound of the Divination Turtle's sturdy shell being crushed.
'Thankfully, it seems the Monster doesn't have the power to shatter a Divine Turtle's shell with brute force alone. It's strong, but not without limits...'
'After I get back, I must gather all the Divine Birds! With such a great enemy before us, infighting is just a death wish!'
The Ghost Car made up its mind instantly. As soon as it returned to the Feather Race's territory, it would immediately gather all the Divine Birds, as well as the Divine Beasts of other Races, and in the name of the Primordial Ancestor, lead a crusade against this unprecedented enemy of the Beast God Realm!
Faced with a combined attack from hundreds of Divine Beasts, even a Monster like this would surely be killed on the spot!
But in the next instant, the Ghost Car heard a low-pitched hum—the sound of a Breath attack.
BZZZZZ—
It turned its head instinctively.
And then it saw.
A beam of pure Spiritual Light erupted from the Wingless Great Dragon's mouth, shooting straight into the opening of the shell where the Divine Turtle was hiding. Even with its head, tail, and limbs all retracted, the Divination Turtle couldn't block this direct blast of Spiritual Light... Immediately, the smell of roasting meat filled the air, followed by the acrid scent of char...
'It's impossible to win...'
In that moment, the Divine Bird Ghost Car completely lost all courage and any thought of resistance. The threat of death was closer than it had ever been.
But just then, a thought flashed through the Ghost Car's mind: 'Wait... that Monster doesn't have wings?'
Although flight was a universal skill for Divine Beasts of the Extraordinary and Commander Tiers—something they knew innately without being taught—a massive, multi-thousand-ton Spirit Beast without wings was bound to be far slower than a winged Spirit Bird.
At this thought, its spirits lifted. It immediately began to ascend at full speed, flying rapidly up toward the flowing clouds!
'Without wings, you think you can catch me?!'
Instantly, the Ghost Car sensed the distance between itself and the Monster grow by several thousand meters in just ten seconds! Just as it expected, its enemy's flight speed in the air was nowhere near that of a Spirit Bird, which could easily go Supersonic. It could only reach its top speed when charging across the ground!
Thinking this, and feeling as though it had escaped disaster, the Ghost Car instinctively glanced back at Su Zhou.
And then, it saw jets of violet-blue light blasting out.
'Who says you need wings to fly at high speed?'
'Flight is not so inconvenient a thing!'
'The Divine Beasts of the Beast God Realm are truly ignorant... Have you never heard of it? The power that belongs to humanity... the power of things called rockets and missiles!'
