The formless space expanded, covering an area of several hundred meters and enveloping Elliot and Marcus within its grasp.
"Brother-in-law," Marcus's expression shifted slightly.
"Hmph."
Elliot, with a wave of his hand, utilized the power of the Earth element to create and condense a massive quantity of black metal between himself and the devouring monster. The metal was so tightly packed that there appeared to be no space at all between the two. In terms of mass, the sheer amount of metal remnants seemed even larger than the swallowing monster itself. Elliot was determined to fight for the future of his descendants and would not yield easily. This abomination would come to fear the might of humans.
They approached with a strategy, wary of the insatiable monster.
They called it Common sense.
It resembled a person devouring something, only to become overfilled once they had consumed too much.
"I'll give you more," Elliot declared, his gaze icy as he waved his hand.
Whoosh!
Another batch of tightly packed, elongated metals emerged!"These were all gathered from various countries," Elliot explained. "There are a total of 18 hydrogen bombs, along with other atomic bombs used to detonate them." He produced the magical hydrogen bombs they had prepared in advance for their plan, amidst his creation of incredibly dense metal.
"Roar!"
The golden-horned beast, filled with fury, ceased its devouring and let out a thunderous roar!
It still vividly remembered the last encounter, when a 100 million-ton magic hydrogen bomb had unleashed its power. Now, faced with 18 additional bombs, albeit smaller in size, the golden-horned beast refrained from swallowing them haphazardly. And the colossal metal structure, measuring 180 meters long, 120 meters wide, and 100 meters tall, entirely composed of metal remains, it dared not ingest.
Why did it have to ingest the metal in multiple trips, rather than consuming it all at once?
The answer lay in its "stomach's" capacity!
Just like humans, overeating would lead to bloating!
That was the reasoning behind its reluctance to overindulge. Each piece of metal equaled the mass of 100 regular-sized pieces found on Mysthia. Consuming so much would cause its stomach (internal world) to expand to the point of collapse, ultimately resulting in its demise.
"ROAR!!!"
In a fit of rage, the golden-horned beast emitted a deafening roar. The horn on its forehead, adorned with intricate golden engravings, began to glow intensely, while its pupils transformed into a brilliant golden hue. The golden light surged through its neck, back, and to its razor-sharp claws, the very claws it employed to launch direct attacks.
Crash!
With a mighty blow, the mass of metal debris scattered in all directions. The ferocious claws immediately lunged through the wreckage, aiming for Elliot and Marcus. However, as the claws dispersed the metallic obstruction, a dark wave surged forward, its speed leaving everyone in awe.
"Chị!"
A soft, sizzling sound, reminiscent of hair catching fire, echoed through the air, much like the moment the swallowing monster was struck by the supernova laser a few weeks prior. "Chị!"
The black wave brushed past the claws and crashed directly into the abdomen of the golden- horned beast. Even its incredibly resilient scales were penetrated, leaving behind a gaping hole!
"Brother-in-law Elliot!!!"
A sorrowful cry reverberated across the sky!
A bolt of lightning streaked toward the cavity with unparalleled ferocity.
"Roar!" The enraged beast with golden horns felt the black-clothed man drilling into its body. It retaliated by clawing towards the bald man dressed in white and covered in lightning. The powerful airwaves rushed toward the bald man, causing fresh blood to spurt everywhere. The lower half of the white man's body had been sliced into minced meat, but his upper half remained intact thanks to the armor given to him by his nephew, Julius, the Emperor of the Drexian Empire.
Despite being in pieces, the white man didn't back down. He knew their plan and had to continue rushing in. The price he paid for using such a skill was terrifying, but their ultimate goal was clear - kill the golden-horned beast. The best way to achieve that was to enter its body.
"No matter the cost, we must kill it! For the sake of future generations, we must pave the way for hope to exist."
A half-formed silhouette of a white human stood resolute.
With flushed red eyes and a madness unlike anything before, the lower half of the white silhouette was engulfed in lightning. He pierced straight into the cavity, determined to fulfill their mission.
"Roar!!!" The furious golden-horned beast let out a thunderous roar, but to its dismay, those pesky humans had already infiltrated its very flesh and body.
The entire world fell into a hushed silence as Emperor Julius, along with other members of the world council, gazed at the magical screen. On one side, they saw the enraged golden-horned beast, while the other side displayed replays and slow-motion footage.
In the replay, Elliot's body was drenched in blood, resembling a crazed deity as he thrust himself through the beast's impenetrable scales and into its very core.
Meanwhile, Marcus, with only half of his body remaining, fearlessly charged into the creature's body, risking everything in his mission to slay the golden-horned beast.
As they ventured into the belly of the beast, the men, battered and bruised, locked eyes and shared a profound moment of understanding. Through their gaze, they conveyed a resolute determination to offer themselves as a glimmer of hope for the survival of humanity. With a silent nod, they simultaneously ignited their magic cores, the very essence of their strength, causing a cataclysmic eruption akin to the force of a B83 nuclear bomb.
KAAAAABOOOOOOOM! RUUMBLE!
The deafening explosion echoed across the entire world, severing the connection to the floating recording satellite. In an instant, darkness descended, enveloping the globe and leaving it helpless. Meanwhile, the golden beast suffered a devastating blow, its body torn asunder, yet it began to slowly regenerate.
In the midst of this chaos, a figure emerged.
A goddess with flowing white hair, Maria, appeared as if she had been anticipating this very moment. Her preparation was evident in her calm expression as she extended her arms and
uttered a single phrase:
"ABSOLUTE ZERO: ETERNAL ICE!"
In an instant, Maria depleted her vast reservoir of mana, sacrificing even more than expected. The world turned white as a five-kilometer radius in the heart of the Endless Sea transformed into an unbreakable, everlasting ice. The half-destroyed golden beast became a frozen sculpture, forever trapped in the middle of the sea. Its final thought pondered the ironic fate of a mighty creature from the higher realms meeting such a demise. However, Maria's ultimate magic came at a great cost. She too became sealed within the Eternal Ice. As the connection was restored, witnesses beheld the scene before them, realizing what transpired during the lost minutes. The victory tasted bitter, for Elliot and Marcus had sacrificially played their parts, but none had expected Maria to secretly trail them and risk her life to seal the nearly indestructible beast. She had been a crucial pillar in their war, one they never intended to sacrifice.
Silence fell upon the world as leaders contemplated plans to rescue Maria before the impending clash. They knew they had to act swiftly, for angering the Touch's family, particularly Alex, would bring about dire consequences.
In order to avoid utter chaos and the potential vanishing of empires, it is imperative that they immediately release her from her confinement before Alex returns. The consequences could be catastrophic, with the Holy Empire being just one example of what could be lost in the blink of an eye if you ever anger a Touch, touching Alex's reverse scale who is none than his
precious family.
