My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 418 - 419: Gu Xing’s Death
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
"Thunk..."
The sound of a ripe watermelon being pulverized resonated through the deathly quiet world.
The battle spirit that once burned in Gu Xing’s eyes vanished instantly, leaving them devoid of all luster.
Clutched in the grasp of the Demon God Abyss, his head was reduced to a fine mist of blood.
The decapitated corpse swayed momentarily before plummeting helplessly from the heavens.
In that fleeting second, time appeared to stand still.
The whistling wind, the crashing waves, and even the fundamental flow of the Heaven and Earth Laws seemed to evaporate.
Nothing remained in the world except for the drifting crimson haze and the sadistic, triumphant smirk worn by the Demon God Abyss.
"No——!!!!!!!"
The brief silence was shattered by a soul-crushing scream and a primal roar!
Liu Li’s golden pupils were instantly flooded with blood as two streaks of crimson tears traced paths down her face.
Watching the descent of Gu Xing’s headless frame, she felt as though the very foundations of her reality had crumbled.
Ever since their journey began in Lin Yuan City...
Gu Xing had remained steadfastly by her side.
No matter the obstacles she faced...
His presence gave her the strength to persevere.
In the end, Gu Xing’s role had evolved beyond being her Beast Master; he had become the spiritual pillar that sustained her very existence.
But now...
That pillar had been shattered!
At this moment, her boundless grief ignited into a scorching fury capable of incinerating the world!
"Yuan! I will have your life!!"
She lost all semblance of sanity!
Her twelve wings quivered violently, fueling the Origin Fire of life sacrifice!
The Laws of Destruction and Guardian intertwined, boiling over with an unprecedented ferocity!
Her aura surged manically, momentarily breaking past the limits of the Totem Level and grazing the threshold of a pseudo-god!
The price, however, was her own life force burning away at a terrifying pace!
Witnessing this, Vera also succumbed to the madness.
"Master... Master!!"
Her emerald eyes shifted to a deep scarlet as the savage will of the Insect Emperor fused with her despair, overwhelming her logic!
She abandoned all concern for her foundation, her future, or her soul; everything was cast into the flames of her rage!
As she pushed herself to the limit, a peculiar flower of life manifested behind her.
This was the physical embodiment of her entire Life Law!
However, the spectral flower began to wither away, signifying her willing sacrifice of every drop of Life Power within her.
The result of this sacrifice was an eruption of the Power of Annihilation, a force capable of eroding all matter!
Simultaneously, the Devouring Law coalesced around her, forming a swirling black hole that made her look like a vengeful specter from the Nine Nether.
Yet, in the face of these two Guardian Beasts recklessly burning their lives...
The Demon God Abyss remained unnervingly composed, his expression carrying the mockery of a predator playing with its prey.
"Heh... the rage of insects is always so comical and pathetic."
Yuan casually brushed away the invisible bloodstains from his hands.
With the human dead, the lingering anxiety in his heart had finally evaporated.
More importantly...
Since the one who resembled a Savior had perished by his hand, what could these remaining Guardian Beasts possibly achieve?
He observed the frenzied Liu Li and Vera as they charged, his eyes showing no concern, only cruel amusement.
He didn't even bother to counterattack, simply weaving through their strikes as if taking a light stroll.
"Tsk tsk, such moving... loyalty between a servant and her master."
"It is a pity your master was so pathetic, so weak that he couldn't survive even a single casual blow from me."
"Is such a master truly worth your life?"
He sidestepped Liu Li’s blade and, with a flick of Demonic Qi, sent Vera tumbling backward as he continued:
"Submit to me! With your inherent Talent..."
"Your future potential might even reach my own level! Why throw yourselves away for a dead failure?"
"Shut up! I am going to kill you!!"
Liu Li’s strikes became even more desperate, adopting a suicidal combat style, yet every move was effortlessly parried by Yuan.
"You dare... compare yourself to my master?!"
Vera’s voice rasped with hoarseness, and though her black hole of Devouring Law strained to tear at him, it couldn't even pierce Yuan’s protective shroud of Demonic Qi.
"Such irrational stubbornness."
Yuan shook his head, his patience for persuasion clearly wearing thin.
Though the Talent of these two Guardian Beasts enticed him...
If they refused to yield, he would simply send them to Hell to join their master.
Gradually, the smirk on Yuan’s face was replaced by a frigid killing intent.
"Since you are so eager for death, I shall grant your wish and send you to accompany that worthless master of yours!"
Given his power, even if these two Guardian Beasts gambled their very souls...
They could never hope to stand on equal footing with him.
Up until now, he had merely been toyed with them like a cat with mice.
Now that the amusement of recruitment had ended, he was bored...
It was time to end this!
The Demonic Qi surrounding him began to swirl and thicken, gathering the same devastating power as before.
"I give you one final chance: surrender to me and live!"
"Otherwise... perish!"
The Demonic Qi reached a point of extreme concentration, his eyes burning with lethal intent.
However, the two Guardian Beasts were deaf to his threats.
Only a single thought occupied their minds.
Their master was gone!
No matter the cost... no matter the consequence...
They would have their vengeance!
"Kill you! I must kill you!"
The auras of the two Guardian Beasts flared once more, signaling an even more intense burning of their lives.
Seeing their resolve, a sneer curled the lips of the Demon God Abyss.
Truly, all creatures within the Alternate Space were equally dim-witted.
Faced with such an overwhelming gap in strength, they still couldn't grasp the reality of their situation.
If that's the case, then die!!!
He brought his hands down with crushing force.
A torrent of violent Demonic Qi surged toward Liu Li and Vera.
If this blow connected, these two Guardian Beasts, who were only at the first tier of the Totem level, would surely be annihilated!
And yet...
No one present noticed that Sally, who had been paralyzed by the shock of Gu Xing’s death...
Was undergoing a profound transformation!
Her small frame shivered slightly, her vacant eyes fixed on the spot where Gu Xing had fallen.
Deep within the recesses of her soul, a dormant power began to stir.
It was a sensation beyond description, something that seemed to exist outside of time and space, ancient and mysterious enough to make one's heart tremble.
Like a pebble dropped into a bottomless well, faint ripples began to expand within her.
This vibration was initially so subtle that even the Demon God Abyss, despite his proximity, failed to detect it.
The faint, golden clock mark on Sally’s forehead began to glow.
It emitted an indescribable, ethereal light that seemed to hold the flickering shadows of a thousand pasts and futures.
