Chapter 428 Are you ready to repent?
BACK TO THE HIDDEN ALLEY.
When this humanoid creature told Delia earlier that it was here to kill her, Delia did not waste any more time on talking with it.
She immediately used her power to kill this creature before it can make a move on her.
Of course Delia knew that if she did this, she will be noticed by the hidden powerhouses in this world.
But she had no choice but to attack right now, as staying pa.s.sive might just lead to her death.
Knowing that the humanoid creature was most likely a Sixth Stage Being, Delia did not use any of her miscellaneous abilities.
She immediately used her strongest power, which makes her suited for dealing with opponents like the humanoid creature.
The current Delia had already reached the state of a Spear G.o.d, which was the equivalent of a Sixth Stage Being.
Being a Spear G.o.d is a great achievement for Delia, for in her homeworld, those who reached this state had become legends in their own rights.
For these people to be legends are just apt, as a Spear G.o.d is someone who can do anything, as long as they had the techniques suited for it.
This meant that a Spear G.o.d can manipulate even the laws of the World that they are in, as long as they have the proper technique for it.
Whether be it the laws of fire, s.p.a.ce, ice, void and other laws, as long as these laws exist, there will be a way for a Spear G.o.d to control them!
Of course, just like what was mentioned earlier, a proper technique must be used in order to perform this feat.
Delia, who has now reached the Spear G.o.d Level, obviously had her own techniques that she uses to fight. These techniques were the ones that she personally created, and she complied them into one series.
She called this series as the [Spear Monarch Strikes], which currently contains the best techniques in her a.r.s.enal.
This [Spear Monarch Strikes] is a compilation of attacks, with each attack having their own unique effect on a specific law. This allows Delia to deal with different situations by using a different attack from her a.r.s.enal. With this kind of versatility provided by the [Spear Monarch Strikes], Delia was able to turn herself into an extremely flexible fighter who can easily decimate her opponents.
As of now, Delia"s [Spear G.o.d Strikes] had 9 unique attacks embedded in it. This meant that if she chooses to do so, Delia can manipulate 9 different kinds of laws with her own spear. This makes her an extremely lethal Sixth Stage Being, and she was sure that it will be hard to find someone who can beat her.
But right now, this belief of hers is getting slowly eroded because of her opponent.
*****************
"Spear Monarch 5th Strike: Extremity!"
"Boom!" The ma.s.sive spear, which floated on the sky above Delia, let out a shrill sound as it pierced directly towards the humanoid creature in front of her.
Miniature cracks on s.p.a.ce appeared all around the ma.s.sive spear, as the power contained at the tip of the spear was enough to affect the s.p.a.ce itself.
The area where all of this power were concentrated was just a small point, which made this spear"s thrust appear more intimidating.
To call this attack as "Extremity" was just apt, as nothing else can be more extreme than this thrust.
"Hohoho, so that"s your fifth attack on me… How interesting. Let"s see if that can hurt me…" In face of this attack, which threatened to destroy anything that existed, the humanoid creature only let out a low chuckle as its body wriggled.
The black lotus, which was the object floating above the humanoid creature, let out a low shriek as it released 100 mouth-filled tentacles towards Delia"s spear attack.
All of these tentacles, which were filled to the brim with wagging tongues and jagged teeth, latched on to Delia"s spear with indescribable ferocity.
"Skree!!!"
At the moment that this collision happened, the power concentrated on the spear tip exploded, creating a gargantuan explosion that extended away from the spear.
Multiple ripples, with each ripple capable of creating rifts on the s.p.a.ce itself, exploded from the spear, which then proceeded to wreak havoc on everything that it touched.
"Ugh!" Delia gritted her teeth as these ripples. .h.i.t her, with her clothes slowly getting ripped apart from each impact. Blood also began to flow out of her ears as her legs started to shake. Even her arms, which was in a state of damage earlier, appeared to obtain more damage from the ripples themselves.
Delia seemed to be affected by these ripples that she created, although her steadfast body and tight posture showed that she can still continue fighting.
"…."
It was not only Delia who had to resist the ripple. The humanoid creature, which was the nearest being to the source of the ripples, was affected by it too.
Black, viscous blood flowed out from the humanoid creature and its black lotus, as the deadly ripples of Delia"s attack were able to reach their bodies, with each ripple dead-set on shredding their bodies into nothingness.
If more of these ripples could appear, then the humanoid creature might truly be kiledl by it.
But there were only 64 ripples that appeared, and most of them were "absorbed" by the mouth tentacles from the black lotus. As a result, only 20 ripples were able to hit the humanoid creature.
These ripples were enough to injure the creature, although it was not enough to bring it to the brink of death.
"Tsk, even that attack failed too? What kind of creature is this?" Delia, who had now stabilized herself from her own attack, gritted her teeth as she observed her opponent"s still alive body. "This is already the fifth time that I attacked him, and yet he"s still alive? F**k this, I think I just faced my nemesis!"
Out of the 9 unique attacks from the [Spear Monarch Strikes], Delia had already used 5 of them.
These 5 strikes affected the laws of fire, ice, life, corrosion, and s.p.a.ce, which in normal cases, should have been enough to kill her opponents.
But the humanoid creature was able to receive these attacks head-on, receiving nothing but only injuries at the process. He did not die from any of Delia"s 5 attacks, which had Delia back to her tense state.
"Hohoho, your attacks are powerful! They made me feel pain, although they were not enough to kill me…" The humanoid creature said, with the tone of lamentation present on its voice. It appeared to be disappointed with what was happening now, with its eyes staring at Delia in a reproaching manner.
"Miss Delia, you don"t need to hold back anymore. I know that you still have more attacks that you can use against me." The humanoid creature continued to say as its body wriggled. "Why don" t you use it right now? Maybe that will allow you to kill me…"
"You freak. What are you really? I have never met a creature as perverted and demented as you!" Delia demanded as she drew back her Ethereal Spear warily. Now that she knew that killing her opponent is hard, she realized that using more effort will be just a waste for her. If she wants to kill this creature, then she must kill it in one fell swoop!
"I appreciate your delaying tactics Miss Delia, but that won"t work on me." The humanoid creature replied as it shook its head. It then pointed its slithery finger at Delia"s arms, which are now moving in an erratic manner.
"Miss Delia, you don"t need to deny it anymore. I know that you are trying to build up power for your strongest attack… As much as I want to receive it, I cannot allow you to use that attack. My master told me that if I were to kill you, I must make sure that this place will not get destroyed. If I allow you to use that attack, I am sure that the area around us will be obliterated. I… cannot allow that."
After saying these words, the humanoid creature let out a gurgling sound as it pounced directly towards Delia.
A horrifying slurping sound can be heard from the creature as it brandished its plunger. The plunger"s head, which was now dripping with sticky mucus, let out a low wail as a hole appeared on it.
This hole, which was packed to the brim with countless eyeb.a.l.l.s, began to suck everything around the creature, which included Delia and her allies.
This immense suction force effectively destroyed Delia"s concentrated state, as she was suddenly pulled by the plunger. A displeased growl came out of her mouth as she continued to be pulled by this "weapon". Fortunately for Delia, her tough body allowed her to slightly resist the suction force, which resulted on her to be only slowly pulled in the by the plunger.
Tong"er and Milo on the other hand however, were not as lucky as Delia.
Tong"er and Milo, who were still hiding behind the nearby wall, went soaring through the air straight towards the plunger"s hole. These two did not have the same resilient body as Delia, which made them susceptible to the humanoid creature"s sudden attack.
"Hohoho, two new meals for my pet. This is nice…" Upon seeing that Tong"er and Milo were about to get sucked by the plunger, the humanoid creature let out a vicious smile as it wagged its tentacles at Delia. There was greed on its eyes as it stared on Delia"s body, as if it was already imagining the feeling of consuming her.
"Miss Delia, my master told me to kill you, but he did not say on what way I should do it. That means that I can kill you by consuming you alive, right?" After the humanoid creature asked this question, he did not wait for Delia to give her reply. He sent more tentacles at her direction, with its black lotus also a.s.sisting on its attack.
In face of all the tentacles and mouths that were heading straight towards her, Delia, who was still off-balanced from the plunger"s move, only stared at them malevolently. She only had a calm expression on her face as the tentacles descended on her like vultures feasting on the dead.
She did nothing even when the tentacles began pulling her towards the creature"s gaping mouth, which was now as large as a person.
A horrifying set of teeth can be seen protruding from the creature"s mouth, which was also drooling like a fountain at this point.
This drool came out in more quant.i.ties as Delia got closer to the creature, as if her presence was enough to make the creature hungrier.
Because of Delia"s sudden non-resistance, the power of the plunger weakened, which allowed Tong"er and Milo to resist its force. They wasted no time as they ran away from the humanoid creature, leaving Delia on its mercy.
Upon seeing this happen, the creature started to laugh in a crazed manner as its ravenous desire became more and more apparent.
"Good! Good! Good! So you want to sacrifice yourself to save your allies! Good! Women like you are the ones that I like to eat the most!" The creature roared out in delight as its body continued to warp beyond recognition. "Hungry… you make me so hungry! Ahh… I want to eat you!"
The humanoid creature then continued to shout in a crazed manner, and from the looks of it, it will only stop once it manages to eat Delia whole.
By this point, Delia was already a few inches away from the creature"s mouth. The creature only has to take one bite, and it will be able to savor its meal already.
But before the creature can make its triumphant chomp, Delia, who had been silent since earlier, suddenly began talking.
She seemed to have ignored all the prehensiles attached to her as she talked in a cold, frigid tone.
"I don"t know what you are, but I know of your sin. You reek of Gluttony, a sin that I cannot allow to exist!" Delia said as her motionless body moved. Rays as bright as the sun escaped from her body, which then melted the tentacles wrapped around her. These rays continued to brighten, creating both a stunning and petrifying scenery.
[TEMPERANCE!!!]
At this point, Delia appeared to be a war G.o.d, who was willing to tear down anything on her path! This appearance of hers made the humanoid creature shrink back a little, as if it was being forced back by her appearance alone.
This action by the creature made Delia grin in excitement, and the following words that she said just made this exctiment more apparent.
"Out of all the beings that I have seen before, you are the most gluttonous one yet. Such kind of traits cannot be allowed to exist! That is why, I, the Adjudicator of the Holy Order Plane, shall commence judgement on you!"
Delia roared these words out as 5 pairs of wings appeared behind her. Each pair glowed with such glory that anyone who saw it could not help but kneel. Even the creature, who was now shrieking as the rays. .h.i.t its body, was being forced to supplicate on the ground.
In face of the sudden change in her body, Delia only continued to maintain her lofty look as she glared at her opponent. Her spear, which was now glowing with a golden l.u.s.ter, hovered right above the creature as she said her "final words".
"Gluttonous being, are you ready to repent now?"
