The giant creature also realized the trouble it had caused to Jason.
Jason not only found it difficult to dodge but was also unable to devour its flesh and blood anymore.
This made the eyes of the giant creature brighten.
Since the fight began, it seemed to have gained the upper hand for the first time.
Immediately, the creature, whose pride had been swept away, could no longer care so much and rolled around with increased effort.
With thunderous noise, the giant creature rolled even more joyfully, like piglets in a mud pit.
Once again, Jason narrowly avoided the roll.
He saw the giant creature's bird head.
Then, his gaze moved downward.
He stared at its neck.
Time and again, despite not having 'food,' Jason was getting closer to another delicacy.
Jason couldn't be sure.
Even though the giant creature had a bird's head, its neck was hard to determine.
He could only confirm it after trying.
As the creature continued to roll, a chill ran through its heart suddenly.
An inexplicable sense of danger made its rolling body stiffen.
Then, it sensed Jason's figure rushing towards its neck.
The giant creature roared angrily, protecting its neck with both hands.
The neck was different from other parts.
If injured here, it could be fatal.
Although it did not believe Jason's small size could inflict a deadly wound on its neck, previous events had already made it apprehensive. This man, whom it considered merely a vessel, was absolutely terrifying and insane.
The roar turned into a howling wind.
In an instant, it became a catastrophic Category 12 hurricane.
The hurricane did not disperse.
Instead, it formed a gray tornado, attacking Jason.
Jason immediately dodged, but still got grazed by the tornado's edge.
The defense of a War Machine level couldn't resist at all and was completely shattered.
Instantly, half of Jason's body was gone.
Then, Jason appeared whole again in the sight of the giant creature.
A brilliant light burst forth!
The giant creature, just about to restrain Jason, was dazzled again.
But it couldn't care less about its tearing, painfully stinging eyes.
It waved its arms, creating an oppressive gust of wind to block Jason, who wanted to get closer.
However, it was futile.
Jason moved with a lightness and agility that did not match his physique, weaving through the gusts and quickly approaching the giant creature's neck.
Martial Arts at the Master level.
Griffin Combat Technique at the Proficiency level.
Whirlwind Dance at the Proficient level.
These allowed Jason to possess a dodging ability and steps far beyond ordinary imagination.
Not just the skills themselves, but also experience.
On the contrary, the giant creature in front of him was like a strong man with brute force but no knowledge of how to use it, only able to swing his fists wildly, almost instinctual, yet not instinctual, clumsy, and embarrassing.
Moreover, the creature's panting was getting louder and louder.
From the broad use of 'Spatial Shift' earlier, its breathing had become rapid.
And after blowing out the hurricane just now, such panting was not only rapid but also heavy.
Just like an old ox pulling a broken cart.
"Just awoke and unfamiliar with your current body?"
"Even if you just woke up and are unfamiliar with your current body, the battle shouldn't be —being forced into such a dire situation by a mere mortal far beneath you in rank, and possibly even more... Such a Deity is truly useless."
"It's not a Deity at all?"
"Just a lucky one who has taken over this body?"
"That's why there is such a situation where there is power but no technique or experience?"
Jason guessed in his heart, his eyes slightly squinting.
Before, when 'their' Leader occupied this body, it was ugly.
Then, when this body recovered, its state was quite formidable.
It made him subconsciously think it was a Deity's awakening.
But at this point in the fight, the frequent mistakes and lack of combat experience made him begin to doubt.
He suspected that the real 'Deity' had already perished.
The giant creature he was facing was just a lucky one who took over.
Inside its body, it was no longer the original Deity. Perhaps this 'Deity' had managed to evade the being that caused the twilight of the gods and entered into a Deep Sleep.
But clearly, something unexpected happened in the interim.
Leading to the current state.
And for Jason, this was undoubtedly great news!
If his guess was correct...
This body in front of him was his now!
Sorry, he was not interested!
To control this body?
Sorry, he was not interested either!
He just wanted to eat! Eat! Eat!
He wanted to become a 'Devour...no, a Food God!'
As a gourmet, he naturally was the 'Food God'.
The change in his heart caused a shift in Jason's aura.
A pitch-black monster emerged from behind him, its blood-red eyes staring at the giant creature, its huge mouth unable to resist opening wide, revealing sharp teeth composed of black shadows.
In the unique roar, the shadow began to swell rapidly.
Like inflating a balloon, in an instant, it became half the size of the giant creature.
And the growth continued.
The giant creature was completely stunned.
