"Fool, Mortal, commoner..."
While a mortal’s attack on a deity might not be effective, it was exceedingly effective at provoking their anger.
Many beings who considered themselves gods lacked the expected tolerance, instead always brimming with overflow arrogance.
They could not even endure sharing space with mortals, let alone being attacked.
At this moment, however, an attack on the Quasi-Gods had already commenced, and the Mortal’s legion did not hesitate in the slightest.
Arrows and harpoons wreathed in black flames relentlessly enveloped the two Quasi-Gods.
The flames spread wildly. The power diminished significantly after leaving its wielder, but gathering the same origin of power from hundreds or thousands of Level 2 or higher Life beings, the combined might was considerably impressive.
One mushroom cloud after another rose, the Blackfire Army had mastered the technique of planting mushrooms around the world... The only drawback was that it significantly depleted various "Life storages" and couldn’t be used indiscriminately.
"Black King!"
The two Quasi-Gods were utterly enraged.
Perhaps the damage wasn’t sufficient, but the insult was definitely maximized.
The ocean was torn apart violently, countless lives shredded by the furious Quasi-Gods; when the two of them struck out in anger together, phrases like ’the sky crumbles and the earth splits’ were no mere descriptions.
A red fissure spread indefinitely, and the beings it touched couldn’t even lament before being annihilated... They might have been devoured, or possibly torn into fragments.
The "Rainbow Light Piercer," Caso, looked like a giant sea serpent though said to have been of ordinary Fishman bloodline.
Now, this "serpent" shimmered all over with red light, creating countless "Spatial Singularities" around the world; alongside the spreading fissures, zones of death that no mortal could withstand.
One was an infinite chain of lightning, silver light continuously scattering, evaporating vast numbers of beings along with seawater.
The "Thunderbow Chanter" Sidal appeared as an ordinary old Fishman, but at the moment, a net of electricity centered around him covered the entire ocean, making him appear like Zeus in the sea.
This time, the two Quasi-Gods did not hesitate at all, attacking with all their might.
Space and thunder, both Quasi-Gods were high-ranking Rule Holders.
Attacking together, many Blackfire warriors died... and their target, the unflinching "King."
The ocean floor itself was blasted away.
The intense vibration made one wonder if a new trench had formed on the ocean floor... Numerous whirlpools and bubbles obscured one’s view, but the high heat and thunder never ceased.
"This is the fate of a traitor!"
"Black King, you will be the disgrace of our kind."
The furious "deities" echoed throughout the world, their voices resonating back and forth with the thunder.
They needed to make an example... needed the head of the Black King to steady their troops, to show everyone the fate of betrayal.
As the whirlpools and bubbles cleared, looking at the massive trench below, still oozing liquid lightning and blood-red fissures, the two Quasi-Gods smiled in satisfaction.
They could no longer sense the Black King, who must have turned completely to ashes...
Suddenly, a laugh sounded from a certain direction.
Another laugh, filled with undisguised scorn and mockery.
A pillar-like thunderbolt fell directly, flattening the direction of the mocking "thunder god."
Another deep pit filled with liquid Lei emerged, and the quasi-God Sidal was gasping for breath. Even he, after initially fighting tooth and nail against another quasi-God, hurrying here, and then repeatedly exerting his full strength, was utterly exhausted.
"Ha ha ha ha, what are you looking at?"
The hoarse mocking laughter of the Black King echoed once again.
Before the Quasi-God could launch a second attack, another voice sounded from a different location.
"I’m over here."
"Over here."
"Are you blind? I’m right here."
"Is this what a Quasi-God is? Truly useless...."
Mocking voices of men came from all directions.
Whispering, scoffing, ranting, babbling, swearing... Malicious curses were everywhere, twisting the will of all beings.
"Black King!"
With Sidal’s complete madness, the Lei thoroughly cleansed the world.
However, the laughter, the scoffing, the voices mocking him to his face grew louder.
"...It’s pointless now."
And yet another Quasi-God stopped his companion from continuing to rampage.
"Look... look at those flames."
Sidal focused his gaze and saw those Black Flames, seemingly torn apart by his own attacks, still silently burning.
And the voices were coming from them.
"...only realizing now..."
"...the waste among the Quasi-Gods?"
Since they were discovered, there was no need to conceal anymore. The black fireworks twisted and transformed again, and the suddenly materialized mouths and eyes within the flames displayed unmasked malice towards the Quasi-Gods.
What to do? Tear apart these fragments of flames? Sidal regained his sanity; he did not attack again, knowing it would be futile.
Perhaps, even if he shredded these fragments of flames, the opponent would not die. From the beginning, their form of existence was abnormal; they were ubiquitous...
As the Quasi-Gods found themselves in a dire situation where advancing or retreating was equally unfavorable, a massive Ghost Shadow, a delusion large enough to devour ocean trenches and even the universe, slowly rose.
The huge hand silently closed, attempting to grasp the two Quasi-Gods with pure malice.
At a level near the surface, a giant human face appeared, full of mockery and pleasure.
"Yo, aren’t these the Quasi-Gods? Why so down..." The clap of hands, as always lacking force, was full of insult.
Lei directly struck the Ghost Shadow, instantly tearing it apart, but the next moment, the Ghost Shadow reformed, and its laughter grew even merrier.
"...Want to play a game of ’Hide and Seek’? We can play slowly, for a month, a year, a hundred years? Or perhaps, until many epochs later..."
At that moment, the entire ocean was utterly split apart, and the dishonored Quasi-Gods fell into a rage.
But when the attack ended and this region of the ocean was utterly devastated, the two Quasi-Gods could only reluctantly return to their own battlefield.
Kill the Black King? How do you kill an Energy? An energy that has already spread throughout the world?
"...Gone, huh? We will meet again, many times, many times."
On the scattered flags of the Blackfire Army, many faces appeared, the jovial Black King continuing his full-blown mockery.
The "him" here, was each one truly him...
"Life Points are my essence, my body is merely a human-machine interface created by expending Life Points, a non-essential client... Unless you can directly obliterate every existence carrying my ’Life (Points),’ how could you possibly cause my extinction?"
