Chapter 3647 - Fourth Hall Eye: Berserk
Chapter 3647 - Fourth Hall Eye: Berserk
Jin Xiao coldly snickered as he glared at Di Tang. "How could weaklings like you survive extermination? In a world where the strong devour the weak, races with such a pathetic spirit who do nothing but sit around and waste away deserve to be exterminated! Their women deserve to be conquered! You don't even have the courage to rebel. It's no wonder that your enemies look down on you!"
"You!" Di Tang felt his rage boil over. "Everyone, don’t listen to the false words of this crook! We’ll use our own abilities to reclaim our dignity, not the power of an outside force! Who knows if this outsider has come for our overflow fragments?! Even if the wonderians really are driven away, what will replace them? Others will come for our overflow fragments. That’s our burden and curse. We have to be able to let go to be able to live a good life! Everyone, heed my orders and arrest Jin Xiao and his family! Capture that woman!"
When Di Tang began taking action, eight other members from his family charged toward Tianming and the rest. But to his shock, all other aurumites who weren't part of the Di Family didn't make a move! Instead, they held their heads low, expressions of conflict on their faces.
Jin Xiao's words had shaken them too much. They had always been a tribe of hot-blooded people, yet they’d been so heavily emasculated by their oppressors. Naturally, they held a world of discontent in their hearts!
Di Tang flipped out at the development. He charged towards Zi Zhen and warned, "Those who take action today will be allowed to enjoy this woman with the rest of us in the Di Family!"
Tianming immediately knew that things wouldn’t end well once those words had been uttered. "It's over for him...." He looked back and saw Zi Zhen completely covered in purple mist. "That Di Tang truly is talented at forming grudges...."
"I'm not even surprised that his tribe was conquered and their women were taken. These fellows might have big heads, but there doesn't seem to be much between their ears," Moran said, somewhat mad. If even she felt mad, what of the one those words were talking about?
At that point, there was nothing else Tianming could say that would make a difference, but he tried anyway. "Just beat them up, but try not to kill them. We still need to use them for our ends. Killing them would make the other aurumites a bit harder to control."
Di Tang's influence among the aurumites wasn’t insignificant. While he was dastardly, he was still strong. Killing him outright would be a waste, much like Jin Lin. People with bad personalities could simply be corrected via beatings.
Just as Tianming finished speaking, he was sent flying by Zi Zhen's shockwaves.
"Should I help her so that we save some time?" Moran asked. It was better for her to help Zi Zhen than the Jins.
"Alright!" Tianming took a step back to watch the two of them perform.
"There's no need to help," he told Jin Xiao, who had been about to join in. He looked around and saw that nobody other than those of the Di Family were fighting thanks to what he had said. The aurumites wanted to see what kind of capabilities Zi Zhen possessed.
As they wished, the thirty-two-meter-tall girl transformed into a purple hellfiend of about sixty meters in height, towering over Di Tang! When her purple mist spread out and surrounded the golden aurumites, all the spectators subconsciously backed away and fearfully regarded Zi Zhen. The desire that’d filled their eyes had been completely replaced by terror.
However, that was only the beginning. Tianming knew that something even more terrifying was going to happen when Zi Zhen's fourth hall eye opened. It was the most berserk he had seen her! Putting other specters aside, not even he knew how wild she would be in her current state, and she also had Moran and Ji Ji to assist her!
Six high-fortuna-class divine wonders manifested, forming the Hexapath Mystic Wonder Formation. Tianming seemed to see six different worlds manifest on the battlefield, namely the celestial, mortal, asura, bestial, ghostly, and hellish worlds. Each of them were parts of a divine wonder, yet they seemed completely lifelike. The creatures, fiends, and gods within them were part of the divine wonders, much like evernight whales, and could fight! The nine overflower specters were completely enveloped by the six divine wonders.
"Elder Jin Xiao said that this wonderian girl is but a mere maidservant of the goddess, but look at her!"
"Can our king really hold on?!"
People anxiously watched as Zi Zhen clashed with Di Tang. The fifty-meter-tall giant clashed against a fiend ten meters taller than it! However, it took only one punch from Zi Zhen for Di Tang's hand to snap!
He cried out in pain and disbelief. Each of Zi Zhen's snake-like hairs were as thick as Tianming's arm; they pierced into Di Tang's body as Zi Zhen loomed over him and grabbed him by the head with her claws.
His golden eyes widened and shook at the sight of such a terrifying visage.
"Big Brother!" The fourth-level Di Shan charged in, only to have his arms severed by a flick of Zi Zhen's tail. Blood poured out of his chest; it was such a brutal but simple way of dispatching him, but it served as quite a visual shock!
The other seven Dis were being held back by Moran. The occasional one that managed to slip to Zi Zhen would be sent flying with a single slap.
Di Tang's head was entirely covered in golden blood. Zi Zhen had almost squashed his skull by gripping it so hard. She could easily pluck his head off if she wanted to.
"Do you yield?!" she asked in a hoarse voice that came right out of hell.
"I do! I yield!" Di Tang hurriedly yelled. The fact that he had managed to anger Zi Zhen to the point that her fourth hall eye opened was a talent in itself. Where else would you find such an aggravating person?
With four eyes open and her being at the fourth level of the Overflow stage, there was scarcely anyone that could overwhelm her! She was a fiend among fiends! Her scales, spikes, fangs, and hair made for quite a piercing image. Even the savage Archaionfiend seemed less impressive than Zi Zhen's transformed form, the perfect embodiment of a humanoid fighting machine.
"The Di Family yields!" Di Shan and Di Hai cried, their expressions shocked.
Seeing them like that, Tianming said, "If I’d known that you guys would anger her so much in the first place, we should've let you meet at the Taboo Ocean..."
The nine members of the Di family had completely chickened out, let alone the other aurumites.
"All hail the goddess!" Jin Xiao cheered.
"God—Goddess!" One after another, the aurumites kneeled. It didn't take long before the few hundred of them had all knelt and lowered their heads, trembling in fear and reverence. They no longer dared to look at her like a piece of meat to be bred, cowering before the monster in front of them. Only true men would dare to try anything with her now.
All the aurumites had been scared into submission, leaving only the Di Family—especially Di Tang—who still seemed shaken.
"King, you should make the final decision!"
Zi Zhen, Jin Xiao, and Tianming looked at Di Tang. The fifty-meter-tall giant took a deep breath, obviously having a hard time accepting the current situation. But he had no choice but to half-kneel in the face of absolute power along with his family.
Conquering them with raw power isn't enough to make them genuinely submit. If something happens to Zi Zhen or we find ourselves in a compromised state, they might backstab us. Tianming knew what Di Tang was like at his core. Defeating him and making him submit was risky, and just as Tianming was about to figure out how to eliminate that risk, an aurumite messenger came with a report.
"King! Everyone! The old matriarch is almost at her limits!"
"Old matriarch?"
All the aurumites stood up, rather anxious. Jin Xiao and Di Tang's expressions also shifted into one of ghastly shock. It was clear that the old matriarch was a prime figure for the aurumites.
"Grandpa Jin, about this old matriarch...." Tianming said.
"Xeno fatigue! Sigh, it's been a few thousand years, and she's finally at her limits!" Jin Xiao said, his eyes filled with deep sorrow.
"Old Matriarch...." Di Tang sighed and hung his head low as if his spirit had left him.
"Xeno fatigue? Do many people get that around here?" Tianming had been wondering why there would be a matriarch when the aurumite women had all been taken. It appeared that she’d been spared because she already had xeno fatigue. It was surprising that the disease developed in the Ancient Oldgod Domain as well.
"Many people! A third, in fact! We have a hundred among us!" Jin Xiao sighed. "People often call us heavenly favored, but some also call us cursed by the heavens. Those that get xeno fatigue are atoning for their sins for overflow fragments... sigh...."
"Atonement?" Tianming exchanged glances with Zi Zhen. Right as the aurumites were about to rush back for the funeral, Tianming said, "Everyone, I’m able to deal with xeno fatigue!"
The whole eye of heaven fell silent.
"Jin Xiao, who is this fly?" Di Tang exasperatedly asked. All of a sudden, an aura of death locked on to him.
Di Tang suddenly turned frosty cold and widened his eyes, only to see the towering sixty-meter fiend appear behind Tianming, glaring at all the aurumites with her three eyes and nine irises.
"He’s my man!" she declared with a cold, hoarse voice. Jin Lin immediately took a few steps back and coughed out blood.
"Huh?!" Hundreds of aurumites, including Jin Xiao, who’d had a feeling about Tianming, stared at Zi Zhen, then at the puny fellow in front of her, alternating between them with their breaths held. Their eyes widened and shrank again and again.
"Do you understand now?! He's my man! I will not tolerate nor allow any insulting remark. Do it and I will rip you to shreds!"
Jin Lin coughed out another mouthful of blood as Zi Zhen swept the aurumites with her three eyes once more.
