Lillian, the Poison Ivy woman who was being reshaped and nestled in her mother's warm embrace, suddenly opened her eyes and looked up in disbelief.
She almost thought she was having a nightmare, but when the tentacles coiling around her began to tremble, she realized that it was all real!
Something incredibly terrifying has unleashed its power in this underground city.
hum!
Just then, a strange and inexplicable fluctuation came from the deeper darkness, forcibly covering and offsetting the influence of the outside world.
This was also a massive magical force, clearly manipulated by someone else, but Lillian was learning about it for the first time.
Her brow furrowed, not understanding what it was.
The only thing one can feel is the silence that has silenced all other noises.
……
The perspective shifts.
Whether it's astonishment, fervor, or fear, all external attention is irrelevant.
"Cherish this wonderful gift."
Eugene allowed his figure to be engulfed by the radiance, and the next second, the area he was in was completely reduced to ashes!
"The underground city!" Mountain.
285. Seeking rebirth amidst destruction, Sage Mode achieved!
Boom—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The intensity of the light was indescribable, the decibel level was indescribable, the energy level was indescribable, and the destructive power was indescribable!
Everything was indescribable, everything was beyond expectation, and everything made this move the absolute strongest attack in history!
The massive physical and magical power, ignited by the blood of immortal essence, received a boost far more powerful than boiling oil in a raging fire. Starting with the leaking high temperature and fierce wind, it was followed by the real destructive impact!
There are no fancy tricks, no chanting or incantation, only pure gathering and release, the process is only about accumulating power and destroying!
The white light shines on everything, but it brings damage more severe than any disaster.
Everything was burned and crushed; living and dead were destroyed at the same time, yet they were even suppressed from showing their tragic state.
In this blazing, sun-like light, you can see no outlines, nor any colors.
Amidst this deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, you can't discern any direction, nor can you withstand any impact!
Accept my grand gift, dungeon!
Eugene's spirit pierced through his surroundings like a sharp blade.
The consequence of his actions was like detonating the vital organs of an ancient giant inside its body!
Tides of surging magical power crashed outwards, and wherever their edges reached, even the most resilient floors and rock walls crumbled into powder like tofu, dissolving in the raging flames.
Energy waves, measured in kilometers, shot outward in a spherical shape, causing the entire dome to deform and bulge upwards, and causing large sections of the 38th floor to collapse downwards!
This is an apocalyptic scene that would only occur if a mountain collapsed, a sea overturned, and the sky fell.
The shockwave and air barrier created by the explosion alone were powerful enough to flatten all the buildings in Orario!
Not to mention the complete annihilation caused by this pure magic!
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Falling, falling, collapsing, collapsing.
Surpassing even the most intense earthquakes, like a real dragon turning over, all the apocalyptic scenes you can imagine will unfold on this land, and then it will be swallowed up by something even more terrifying!
One second, two seconds.
At the very center of the explosion, Eugene's body floated, his expression devout.
He closed his eyes and listened intently to the omnipresent roar of the raging tide.
It's almost here; the sound he's been longing for is about to arrive.
Aa ...
Suddenly, amidst the lowest sound of something breaking, a sharp, loud, and high-pitched female voice rang out!
Eugene suddenly opened his eyes, which shone brightly with gold and red!
It's an underground city!
The cruel mother of monsters, an unknown behemoth filled with anguish and hatred for the gods, and the source of all calamities in the history of the underworld.
Today, she let out such a painful scream because of a mere mortal!
This is the first time she has experienced such pain in ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, or even since she awakened to consciousness!
The excruciating pain pierced through his entire body, starting from the thirty-seventh layer in his chest and spreading upwards to the ground above his head and even to the top of the Tower of Babel, and downwards to the darkest and deepest abyss.
Violent tremors, shuddering, convulsions, spasms—every word that can describe a stress response can now be applied to the consciousness of the dungeon.
This mother, writhing in pain and furious to the extreme, was now venting her overflowing emotions with the loudest sound she could muster.
The cries of agony, powerful enough to pierce the eardrums of any living being and penetrate any soul, are like the demonic sounds of hell, carrying a chilling and murderous intent that sends shivers down one's spine. They form a parallel opposition to the sound range produced by the Big Bang!
"Hehe, ahahahaha!!!"
Faced with such an astonishing echo, Eugene opened his arms wide and let out the most wicked, maniacal laugh.
This is a counterattack by those who are dust of history against the source of suffering.
He was just a mortal, yet he dared to challenge beings on par with gods!
Experience firsthand the unparalleled, heart-wrenching pain in history!
At this moment, the energy reached its peak, and the energy sphere, which had expanded to its limit, came to a brief pause.
No one can see its entirety, not even Eugene himself.
Only the dungeon truly grasped the sheer scale of this earth-shattering attack.
Its meticulously constructed structure was completely destroyed; the rock layers, tens or even hundreds of meters thick, within a radius of several kilometers were all pulverized.
Even the seemingly indestructible and bottomless sidewalls were ripped away in large sections, revealing the flesh-like core inside, which was then quickly scorched into charred earth by the scalding demonic energy, dripping with turbid black blood like oil!
Again, again, again!!
Eugene was filled with joy. In his eyes, this harsh, inhuman scream was the victory that only he could reap.
Due to the excessive energy loss in a short period of time, he was experiencing a profound emptiness. However, this feedback, which was unique in history, offered solace to the man's heart.
Trampling, ravaging, brutal tearing—this destructive impulse intoxicated Eugene.
He displayed unparalleled power, and even the gods were shaken.
What could be more exciting for a climber with lofty ambitions than these?
Have!
That is, another long-awaited and generous reward!
Just as the tremors that had affected the entire underground city were spreading and continuing for a long time.
Niu Niu, who was on the twentieth floor, the headquarters of the heretics, sat upright on the stone slab, completely calm and composed.
In a very short time, he had completely mastered the key to living in harmony with nature.
Hashirama's cells contained the qualities of a sage, combined with the keen senses inherent in a natural demon, and his extraordinary body control.
While the underground world was shaking and everyone's bodies were shifting to varying degrees, only this fierce bull kept its aura as still as possible.
it's time.
The toad oil had been applied to the acupoints, and Eugene was just waiting to relinquish control of his body and inhale the abundant energy of heaven and earth.
His breathing was long and deep, like that of an infant taking its first steps; though his soul was no longer ignorant.
As the acupoints open, clusters of pure energy, which are everywhere, are attracted from all directions.
It was only then that Eugene realized just how rich a treasure he had missed before was!
Natural energy is inexhaustible. Although it needs further refinement, it is countless times more abundant than the self-replenishing magic!
Now, Eugene is the first person to break into this infinite treasure trove!
He carefully rearranged and mixed the spiritual energy, physical energy, and natural energy in a 1:1:1 ratio, guiding these three energies to intertwine and condense, first forming a tight rope, and then condensing into a brand new power as clear as water and a breeze!
Seek stillness within movement, and rebirth within destruction.
In this gamble of emptying oneself in exchange for new abilities, Eugene's incredible luck once again came into play.
His destiny threads shimmered, guiding more and more natural energy to surge in, completely different from the previous pitch-black nightmare magic, gathering within his body into a crystal-clear, calm lake!
But only Eugene himself knows that what he now possesses is not just a complete change, but an update, an evolution!
Whoohoo!
As the process of refining natural energy became more and more skillful, two distinct eyeshadows quickly appeared on either side of Eugene's tightly closed eyes.
There was no wind around him, yet waves rose, and dust and gravel were blown outwards, creating a dust-free place.
Countless invisible hands unfolded behind him, paving the way and sweeping away the dust.
This also signifies the official birth of the first immortal in the world of DanMachi!
286 Nightmare is born, Zagnot! The Demon King's Trial begins!
In the Naruto world, which originated with the Sage of Six Paths, the history of Sage Power is long and rich.
Even before Hagoromo Otsutsuki achieved the title of Sage, beings capable of refining natural energy already existed.
It is the patriarch of Mount Myōboku, the Great Toad Sage "Gamamaru," who has survived for thousands of years.
In a sense, it was with the help of Gamamaru that Hagoromo was able to reach the highest level and achieve eternal fame.
shhh-
Strands of pure energy were rapidly refined and absorbed around Eugene, and his completely empty internal organs and meridians were once again filled with new immortal power.
He felt the new changes within his body; the life force contained in the clear, still lake was far more intense than the living, nightmarish magic he had experienced before.
The power of Hashirama within the cells rapidly activated, beginning to merge with this entirely new energy source that belonged neither to chakra nor magic.
It was thanks to Eugene's ability to directly plunder the power of bloodlines that the two might not have been able to adapt to each other, relying solely on Hashirama's cells.
