Chapter 333 One Body, One Mind
In the end, the God of War merged with Yuri's figure, as if a scarlet armor had been added to his body. With just a punch, he had already startled the high-ranking demon.
"Quack! He's a pro! Everyone, retreat!"
The demon retreated violently, and the endless war gods it had condensed also retreated.
Their keen senses warned them that this punch would be very heavy, and if they didn't dodge, they would die.
So they followed their instincts and tried to avoid the punch.
"Is running away useful?"
With the force of his punch, Yuri extended his thoughts to the entire battlefield.
And this thought that pervades the battlefield clearly conveys only one meaning.
"die!"
The endless war gods were like ice and snow melting under the scorching sun, and soon none of them remained.
Then came the high-ranking demon, who was horrified to discover that even though he had exhausted all the demon fragments to condense the Endless War God, the power of that fist was not diminished in the slightest.
Is this kind of power something a human could unleash?
Both are essentially evil, so why are they so different?
The superior demon did not understand, nor did He have the chance to figure it out.
Under the force of the punch, not only did His body rapidly dissolve, but the simulated Yuri mind also dissolved.
The carefully constructed thought process shattered instantly, returning to the initial chaos.
Amidst his chaotic thoughts and ferocious punches, he completely lost the ability to think, and his very existence was gradually erased.
When the force of his punch subsided, the last trace of him vanished from this world.
Not only at the present moment, but also in the past and future, there is no trace of him.
Only Yuri will remember this opponent.
"That was a truly exhilarating battle," Yuri exclaimed. "I'll probably never forget you."
A fierce wind swept across the battlefield, scattering the five layers of war gods he had condensed and the remaining sharp blades, and also bringing the battlefield itself to the brink of collapse.
In the end, Yuri had only a small patch of ground left to stand on. He was the only one left on the entire mental battlefield, along with the red figure behind him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you really dare to dream," the red figure said. "You even dare to borrow my power? Aren't you afraid of being devoured by it?"
Modi knew exactly what Yuri had done.
He not only knew about it, but also tacitly approved of it, and continued to spy from outside of time.
Otherwise, Yuri would never have been able to unleash the "Final God of War".
Everything related to him, even those who look similar, will naturally become connected to him and be sensed by him.
Just as he is now transforming the "Final God of War" into an avatar, using this medium to communicate with Yuri.
"It's just a minor backlash. The worst outcome is that I'll drag him down with me. Even so, I'll still be rid of a great enemy for humanity. What more could I ask for?"
Yuri said nonchalantly.
While the ultimate God of War is indeed powerful, he can also bring extremely severe backlash.
The cracks in Yuri's mind are the best proof.
If he had taken even a second longer to throw the punch, he would have succumbed to the backlash and followed in the footsteps of the demon, ultimately ending up as fragments of a powerful being scattered across the sky.
"I am very satisfied with this ending."
During the conversation, Yuri's domineering aura dissipated, and he reverted to being Epsilon's mentor.
The last piece of land beneath his feet shattered, and the dawn of the outside world shone into the completely collapsed battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, he had returned to the real world, still standing on the meadow where beautiful flowers were in full bloom.
Before them, the energy supply to the stargate had been cut off, and the portal frame, which resembled a deep and magnificent starry sky, had vanished completely.
Although the battle of the mind had been going on for an unknown amount of time, it was conducted at the speed of thought, and less than a minute had passed in the outside world.
In less than a minute, the blades went from defending to launching an offensive, and eventually even suppressed the surrounding demons.
Yuri saw the reason, and without a doubt, it was related to the defeat and death of the higher-ranking demons.
These demons seem to have some connection with higher-ranking demons, and they are greatly weakened once the higher-ranking demon dies.
"Then why don't I and the other Demon King do the same?" Yuri wondered, but after a moment's thought, he understood.
Yes, since he's called the King of Demons, his rank must be no lower than that of a higher-ranking demon.
Although Modi never told him what level the demons inside them were, based on Modi's personality of either not using them or using the best ones, it is conservatively estimated that they should be high-level demons.
That is why they are not affected by the death of another higher-ranking demon.
The blade he wielded was closely related to him, even to the point of being his offspring, belonging to him, the demon king, and therefore would not be affected.
"Mentor, we have not failed you." Rahn and Antonio walked up to him and knelt down on one knee.
"The evil spirits have been completely wiped out," Antonio said.
"A third of our comrades perished in the battle against the demons," Rahn said, lowering his eyes slightly. "Many of the remaining comrades were also injured."
Yuri looked at the regrouped Blades, despite having just gone through a bloody battle, despite the First Legion's heavy losses, and despite the fact that many of their comrades had died in the battle.
Yet the eyes of these blades remained as firm as when they first set out on the campaign; they believed in their mentor as always, just as their mentor believed in them.
"Well done, warriors of Epsilon," Yuri said. "We have wiped out the demons that had infested this place, and we have also killed the high-ranking demons who ruled them."
"We have closed the gates to demonic invasion. From this day forward, they will not be able to easily invade our world!"
"This remaining stargate will become key to humanity's exploration of the outside world, and the permafrost of Antarctica will become the land that carries our hopes!"
"Before that, there's one more thing we need to do."
Yuri's gaze turned cold, and he reached out his hand upwards.
The Demon King's powerful force acted on the other dimension, causing it to tremble constantly, as if the end of the world was approaching, and even the flowers that shone on the ground lost their luster.
As Yuri abruptly lowered his arm, a crack appeared in the dark sky above them.
Beyond the crack lies a darkness even deeper than the pitch-black dome.
In the depths of darkness, some kind of living thing seemed to be writhing, and then an ancient and pure malice descended from the crack in the dome.
The blades on the ground looked up, and through the crack in the dome, they seemed to see something enormous and indescribable.
Lines of gaze descended from the dome to the ground, and behind each gaze was an eye.
The gazes of the people on the ground and the unknown things in the sky meet, as if sparks of conflict are about to fly in the air.
"Before we leave, we have one last enemy to deal with."
Yuri looked up at the sky, at the countless eyes that emerged from the darkness, glowing green like pustules.
This other dimension has its entrance located inside the mountain in the outside world.
Besides the extensive network of passages and enormous caves inside the mountain, there also exists a colossal creature.
Ancient giant Shoggoths.
If left unattended, this thing will become a menace sooner or later. Besides, it's not far from waking up; it's definitely a ticking time bomb.
Rather than letting it awaken on its own and surprise the world at some unknown time, Yuri thought it better to strike first and personally eliminate this inherently evil old ghost, Shoggoth.
He didn't need to say anything more; from the moment he made that move, all the blades understood his thoughts and knew his ambition.
Without any verbal communication, they stood on either side of Yuri, allowing him to gather and use their power.
We are one body, united as one.
As their genetic father and mentor, it was only natural for Yuri to mobilize their power.
Perhaps the power of a single blade is nothing, but the combined power of the entire First Legion is something that even Yuri cannot ignore.
Even though his mental body's injuries had not yet healed and he needed the power of the First Legion to suppress them, he was still able to defeat the ancient Shoggoths from the outside world.
"Fivefold War God, emerge!"
Once again, the domineering spirit clung to him, and he did not resist, letting this domineering spirit, which contained ambition and ideals, control him.
Then, Yuri skillfully divided his thoughts into six parts, thus recreating the power of the Five Gods of War.
Although this is not his limit, he can still risk his life to unleash the final war god once, but he only needs to deal with an ancient Shoggoth, so he doesn't need to use that move yet.
The convergence of psychic energy and demonic power materializes memories and thoughts.
The figure of the Five Gods of War appeared behind him.
"You dog..." Overwhelmed by domineering thoughts, Yuri became incredibly arrogant. "Who gave you permission to look at me like that?"
Without his command, the Fifth War God leaped up and ruthlessly attacked the pile of eyeballs behind the crack.
The green-glowing eyeballs shattered in an instant, and the giant Shoggoth let out a painful howl, sprouting even more eyes with venomous gazes, staring at the culprit of all this, and slamming down its thick tentacles.
boom!
The entire mountain range was shaking; even the slightest movement of its limbs created an earthquake-like tremor.
The permafrost cracked, as if shedding a layer of grime, revealing the protoplasmic body with a ghastly green glow in the ice fissures.
Countless eyes formed and festered on the surface, staring blankly at the sky where ice crystal clouds swirled.
One after another, thick tentacles burst forth from the earth, their surfaces sprouting mouthparts filled with fangs, recklessly gnawing at the rocks and frozen soil, as if trying to fill that terrifying body that had been starving for who knows how long.
Even its own kind, the Shoggoths within the mountains, could not escape the fate of being devoured.
On the outskirts of the mountains, the observers at the Epsilon outpost changed their expressions.
They quickly sent a message to headquarters, and then... got into a vehicle and fled in a direction away from the mountains.
The tentacles swept across the Antarctic permafrost, plowing deep valleys into the ground and feeding large amounts of soil and rocks into its mouth to make up for the losses caused by the Five War Gods.
Such a large commotion was noticed even by countries outside Antarctica.
Their satellites captured some strange images in Antarctica, on this ancient, unchanging permafrost.
The mountain range shifted, and some enormous thing burst forth from the ground.
The massive tentacles lashed the earth, carving out distinct ravines, while the glowing green eyes silenced the high-ranking officials from various countries behind the screen.
"Could it be a new extraterrestrial evil god?"
"Maybe, but it could also be a mythical creature lurking underground."
"Recently, similar changes have been increasing, with extraterrestrial invasions intensifying and mythical creatures resurfacing... It seems that the end of the world is indeed getting closer."
"Using the Doomsday Horn" was perhaps a mistake from the start. While that item could reduce the difficulty of returning, the apocalypse it unleashed was far too dangerous.
Besides the various countries, the reincarnators are also paying close attention to this matter.
The two parties quickly reached an agreement and decided to investigate the desolate, frozen land.
Shortly after they discovered the anomaly, another shocking event occurred on the Antarctic land.
An invisible wave of emotion swept across Antarctica, echoing the same frequency of emotion across the scarred permafrost.
Where the wave swept across, the tentacles that Shoggoth had extended were obliterated at the root, like pencil marks erased by an eraser.
The Mind Terminator and Yuri have unleashed their power.
Yuri opened a rift in another dimension, thus reconnecting with the Mind Ender Device at the external headquarters. He then launched a Mind Annihilation attack from the inside out, and wherever the Mind Scan covered, that was his strike range.
His mental energy was enough to cover the entire mountain range; in other words, the entire Shoggoth lord was within his strike range.
Although it is enormous, its body is no different from that of an ordinary Shoggoth, just as soft and flexible, equivalent to a large Shoggoth.
While mind annihilation is ineffective against demons, it is quite different for Shoggoths.
The protoplasmic body of the Shoggoth has little resistance to annihilation and can be easily erased.
With the addition of the five war gods within, beset by internal and external troubles, the ancient giant Shoggoth could only rage helplessly, waving its tentacles in vain as it watched its body be annihilated inch by inch.
In a short moment, the massive Shoggoth was erased from existence.
The mountain range it supported lost its support and collapsed downwards.
Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the once-raging Crazy Mountains vanished, as did the ancient ruins built upon them.
A silver-white circular outline appeared out of thin air on the ruins, along with the surrounding meadow and the colorful wildflowers blooming on it.
Yuri and the First Legion stood before the stargate, their morale high despite the significant losses.
"The other dimension collapsed, but I managed to drag it into the mortal realm in time," Yuri said calmly, glancing at Modi, who had appeared and blended into the group. "How should I investigate the origin of the stargate? What use is it to us?"
"Perhaps you could start with the ruins of the ancients; there are still some underground structures that haven't collapsed." Mordy waved his hand. "As for their usefulness, you'll understand sooner or later."
Although he stands outside of time and surveys all possibilities, this does not mean that he will arbitrarily interfere with the changes in things.
Instead, he prefers to let things develop on their own, unless he really can't resist the urge to get involved, or if it involves significant interests.
Yuri shut his mouth, feeling helpless and frustrated by Yuri's riddle-like behavior.
"Leave a group of people in good condition to guard the star gate; the rest will return with me."
