Chapter 470. Collision (2) (1/2)

The Parasite Army Commanders were able to unleash their divinity momentarily to exert nearly the same power as a god.

However, it was important to note that the powers they could display were only similar; it was difficult to say that they were actually comparable to the power of an authentic god.

Excluding outliers like the Martial God, most existences were unable to escape the limits of their mortal beginning.

And so, to put it nicely, it was more accurate to say that the Army Commanders could imitate gods. Even Twisted Kindness was no exception to this.

This was why Seol Jihu felt nervous but also curious.

What would a being that was a god from birth be like? And what would a battle between gods look like?

Seol Jihu found out the very next moment that Black Seol Jihu was not lying when he said, ‘The Parasite Queen is better at ranged combat than close combat.’

Millions of glowing particles gathered around the Parasite Queen. Then, she flapped her wings in a huge motion and shook her hands.

Goddess of Parasitism — World Destruction.

Particles of light scattered out from the Parasite Queen’s body. The particles were about the size of water droplets, making it look like a snowstorm was blowing around the Parasite Queen.

For a moment, Seol Jihu was stunned by its beauty.

‘Hold on.’

However, Seol Jihu’s eyes shot open the moment he felt the energy condense in each of the droplets. His vision turned white in the blink of an eye.

There was no sound of an explosion or even a faint noise. All Seol Jihu could sense was that the scattering particles suddenly detonated with a bright light.

And with it, what was hidden inside revealed its true colors.

KWAAAAANG!

An ear-splitting explosion erupted a beat later. Each droplet instantly expanded to the size of a house. The explosion was so strong that the space where it took place caved in on itself, turning pitch black.

It was indeed an explosion capable of destroying a world.

‘This attack…!’

I can’t dodge it, and I shouldn’t!

The Parasite Queen’s attack was powerful enough to decimate both her enemies and her allies. By the time Seol Jihu processed this, his body was already moving.

Several undulations rocked the air, and an orb brighter than the sun appeared.

Kwaaaaaaa!

A supernova materialized, erupting massively in all directions. The Parasite Queen’s World Destruction and Seol Jihu’s Supernova Explosion clashed.

‘Not good enough.’

Seol Jihu frowned. The Parasite Queen was superior in both power and range. The light of destruction broke everything in its path, and Seol Jihu’s lightning energy storm was bounced back.

The Authority of Gluttony tried to devour the Parasite Queen’s energy but was annihilated instead. This was the first time Seol Jihu saw his Supernova Explosion being pushed back.

‘So this is the difference in the level of existence…!’

However, it was too early to be surprised.

Pop.

Seol Jihu couldn’t even withstand the Parasite Queen’s first attack, yet she was attempting even more attacks. Seol Jihu first thought clouds of black smoke were escaping from the Parasite Queen’s mouth. But upon closer inspection, he realized that was not it.

Pop, pop, pop!

It wasn’t just from her mouth. Black tentacles shot out from every pore in her body and began to dye the area at a frightening speed. Seol Jihu could see thousands of tentacles even at a glance.

Goddess of Parasitism — Infestation.

In an instant, darkness mixed into the world-destroying light.

Tong, tong, tong, tong! Seol Jihu used Ethereal Shift consecutively, but that simply wasn’t enough. The surrounding area was already enveloped by the black and white light.

That wasn’t all. The black things that shot out of the Parasite Queen’s body looked like tentacles, but they didn’t have a physical sensation at all. If he had to describe it, it was more of a gas.

When they touched his body, they turned his skin black and tried to invade his body.

“Keuk!”

Seol Jihu grunted. He suddenly felt his energy going haywire. The anti-evil energy surged up to incinerate the black smoke, but the Parasite Queen’s energy was fiercer and more numerous than his.

At this rate…

‘I’ll be devoured.’

Seol Jihu began to feel his flow of mana being obstructed. Although mana was still flowing through his circuit, he felt like it wouldn’t be long until it stopped completely.

The energy of the Supernova Explosion weakening was proof of his theory.

‘Just what are these things?’

Seol Jihu struggled to escape the range of the black smoke. But then, he suddenly stopped swinging the Spear of Purity. It was because something happened that made him doubt his eyes.

The Parasite Queen was preparing another attack. The light and darkness that dyed the heaven and earth were sucked into her outstretched hands.

Spiraling rapidly, they formed into spinning balls in each of her hands. Then, she immediately brought her hands together.

Rumble!

As the light and the darkness mixed into one, a frightening undulation resonated out. It felt like the world was shaking in all directions.

…No, it wasn’t just a feeling. The world was actually shaking.

Inside the unstopping rumbling, the Parasite Queen’s fourteen pairs of bone wings moved simultaneously. They bent forward and attached themselves to the orb. Next, the orb split into twenty-eight pieces.

It was at this point that Seol Jihu realized the Parasite Queen’s previous two attacks were only to buy time for this attack. It would be a sure kill move, or at least something close to it.

The moment he realized this, the fourteen pairs of bone wings, which absorbed the pieces of the orb of light and darkness, were all aiming at Seol jihu.

In the next moment, fourteen beams of light shot out from her left wings.

Goddess of Parasitism — Coincidentia Oppositorum: Fourteen Chaos.

Seol Jihu’s vision immediately turned black. He could not even tell what had happened. He simply felt like he was standing alone in the vast outer space.

Of course, he didn’t think this was all there was to the attack. Even in reality, a crushing pressure was squeezing him from all sides, and a devouring darkness began to rage inside him.

Puhak!

Blood spurted out from Seol Jihu’s seven orifices. His body trembled before barely regaining its balance.

“Keeuuu….”

Seol Jihu did not even think to wipe the blood off his face. That was the least of his worries.

‘What… what am I supposed to do…?’

The power, range, and method of the Parasite Queen’s attacks were too different.

He was enveloped inside a mysterious space, not even knowing what was happening exactly. He would much prefer to fight a bloody battle of fists and blades.

Because he didn’t know how the Parasite Queen’s attacks worked, he didn’t know how to react. Of course, he didn’t have any time to complain.

‘Damn it…!’

Seol Jihu gripped the Spear of Purity and began struggling to dismantle the darkness. He cut and slashed wantonly with Mind Spear, secured his own domain with Limitlessness, and twisted the surrounding flow with Thousand Stream Convergence.

It seemed whatever he was doing was effective as the outside world began to appear little by little.

[Now this is unexpected.]
