The size of the Octopus King is, strictly speaking, a round larger than the Shadow God. However, at this moment, under the full drag of the Octopus King, the Shadow God seemed to be stuck to the ground, not moving at all.
The Octopus King’s entire body, with four of its tentacles tightly wrapped around the Shadow God, and the other four tensed straight out. Its whole body was laying outside of Dawn City, trying to drag the Shadow God into the water with its weight.
To this, the Shadow God only inserted its claws into the ground, as firm as iron tongs, anchoring itself to the spot. It even forcibly dragged the Octopus King by crawling step by step in a certain direction into the city.
Mu You had already noticed that the direction this gigantic shadow ghost insisted on going towards, seemed to be the entrance to the Underground City.
It wants to get into the underground city?
What is in the underground city that can attract it?
Just as this question popped into his mind, Mu You instantly associated it with the intelligence the Son of Heaven had told him. Underneath the bottom floor of the Underground City, there was a mysterious space hidden with something that could reveal the ’truth’.
It now seemed that the goal of this Shadow God coming to Sky City should be that thing...
Regardless of what that thing was, it was left over by the Fool’s Ancestors and is extremely significant to the entire race. As the City Lord, Mu You absolutely cannot allow it to succeed.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Shadow God was entangled with the Octopus King, Mu You leaped up immediately. A spiral cannon emerged from his hands, and a dense array of bullets shot at the shadowy figure in front of him.
However, even before he could fire more bullets, almost the moment he fired, Mu You suddenly felt countless wounds appearing all over his body. All the wounds exploded open at the same time. During the time when he was completely unable to react, his entire mech disintegrated into a dust cloud in mid-air.
A few seconds later, Mu You resurrected in a nearby location in a human form, staring in disbelief at the gigantic Shadow God in the distance.
This time, through the perspective of the Omniscient Crystal, he finally gleaned a bit of information.
In the ’ability’ list for the Shadow God, aside from a lot of question marks, two abilities have finally been revealed.
[God’s Devouring: Any creature that attempts to attack a deity with a mortal body will be counterattacked by the deity. Every time you attack (regardless of whether it’s effective), immediately deduct 10% of the target’s maximum HP, and the damage from the counterattack cannot be recovered by any means.]
[God’s Defense: When you receive damage from a particular target, you will not receive any more damage from that target for the next ten seconds.]
Mu You’s eyelid twitched as he finally figured out how he died inexplicably just now, and in the previous games.
God’s Devouring deducts 10% of your HP as soon as you make an attack against a deity, and it’s the type of damage that can’t be healed.
That is to say, as long as you attack the deity ten times, you will definitely die.
And Mu You, both just now and in previous games, had directly used a shotgun against this thing. With dual guns firing four hundred rounds per second, it far exceeds this upper limit, so of course, he would instantly die every time!
Apart from this monstrous ability, the second ability is equally outrageous.
God’s Defense, you can only deal damage to each person once every ten seconds, no matter how high the damage output, it will all be vain, unless there is a divine force that can cause damage at the highest priority, might it be possible to break the effect of the God’s Defense.
While Mu You was still astonished by the new intelligence, the situation suddenly shifted for the Octopus King and the gigantic shadow ghost tangled in the distance.
The huge shadow ghost seemed to become impatient with the Octopus King’s entanglement. It reached out with its hands to one of the octopus legs wrapped around its body, let out a big roar, and after a stalemate of more than 10 seconds, the Octopus King’s leg suddenly snapped and was violently torn off.
The Octopus King immediately let out a mournful call but seemed to have no intention of letting the shadow ghost go. On the contrary, its other three octopus legs wrapped around the shadow ghost even tighter.
The shadow ghost roared in pain, tossing the ripped-out octopus leg on the ground and then tore at a second one.
The tossed-off octopus leg, as soon as it landed, immediately turned into countless smaller octopi, densely enveloping the shadow ghost all over. Finally, they converged at the Octopus King’s severed leg spot, slowly reassembling into a complete octopus leg.
Regeneration! That was one of the Octopus King’s most powerful abilities.
However, even regeneration requires time.
With the shadow ghost once again snapping two of the Octopus King’s tentacles, the Octopus King’s lone tentacle could no longer entangle the gigantic shadow ghost, and it broke free. But instead of rushing towards the distant city, it suddenly turned back and aimed a heavy blow at the Octopus King.
When the Octopus King was hit, it became furious, but with three of its eight tentacles torn off, it was a time of weakness. Every time it tried to fight back, it was met with an even stronger attack from the opponent.
The shadow ghost, like an angry bear, kept swinging its two sharp claws, slapping them on top of the Octopus King’s head.
Slowly, the Octopus King was pushed deeper and deeper into the ground, never finding an opportunity to counterattack.
"The Octopus King is completely no match for this thing..."
Mu You frowned as he watched the fight, even though the Octopus King was bigger in size, anyone could clearly see that the shadow ghost was beating the Octopus King unilaterally at the scene.
At this time, another shadow whisked past. It was Lin Xue, who, taking advantage of the fight between the two giant beasts, jumped onto the back of the shadow ghost with the shell of the Grim Reaper.
