Chapter 66... An execution-style beheading of an external god?
The magnificent palace complex features the largest palace, built against the mountain and reaching several thousand meters in height, making it a truly awe-inspiring sight.
This most magnificent palace, located at the deepest part of the palace complex, is entirely constructed of off-white megaliths. The bronze gate alone, adorned with reliefs, is likely thousands of meters long.
When Xia Fa first saw it, he couldn't help but wonder if a god among the giant jaw beasts lived here, which was why such a large palace needed to be built.
But now, everything is about to be destroyed.
Because that mountain-sized, unknown entity, which looked like a heavy armored cavalryman, coldly and menacingly raised its golden halberd towards the palace complex.
The moment the golden halberd was raised to its highest point, a seemingly transparent and colorless light flashed at the tip of the halberd.
Then, it crashed down!
boom!!!
The palace complex shattered in an instant, completely reduced to dust, and the terrifying, violent ripples that spread out also destroyed all the surrounding houses in a single moment.
Even the headless corpses and rolling, enormous heads of the giant jaw beasts lying on the ground were instantly turned into flesh and blood, like thin paper covering the ground.
Xia Fa couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had hidden on the hillside to the left; otherwise, if he had been hit by that force...
The dust filled the sky, engulfing the unknown entity that resembled a heavily armored cavalryman, which surged up the hillside like a whirlwind.
Even though Xia Fa was hiding behind the collapsed wall, he had to cover his mouth and nose because dust was coming from both sides of the wall and engulfing him as well.
Gradually, the dust dissipated.
Xia Fa didn't dare to delay and quickly looked through the small hole in the wall at the unknown entity that resembled a heavily armored cavalryman.
Its purpose in coming to this strange realm is about to be revealed. For some reason, Xia Fa's heart also began to pound, as if he were witnessing the thrill of peeking into the secrets of a god.
There stood an unknown entity resembling a heavily armored cavalryman, its massive, mountain-like body motionless, its gaze, hidden within its armor, fixed silently on the largest palace.
The palace built against the mountain had also long been destroyed, and now, as the smoke and dust were about to dissipate, it seemed that something was about to be revealed.
A chilling wind suddenly swept across the land, as if something momentous was about to happen.
But the smoke and dust still dissipated slowly, unhurriedly.
Xia Fa was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe, staring at the smoke and dust, not daring to blink.
He had a premonition that he... seemed about to witness something.
Boom-!
Suddenly, it felt as if a sledgehammer had struck his heart. His heart skipped a beat, and his whole body trembled violently. Cold sweat poured down his back, and his eyes widened in an instant.
Because Xia Fa saw it with his own eyes.
In that smoke and dust, in that largest palace
It was...
There is an Outer God!
It was a towering, terrifying figure, a thousand meters tall, which gave Xia Fa a feeling similar to the unknown beings he had encountered when he signed the secret pact.
His body was long and slender, and his skin was black, so black that it seemed to absorb all light.
He appeared in a strange form, with countless silver chains binding him firmly to the mountain behind him.
No, not the mountains, but... a door inside the mountains!
That door was also a thousand meters tall, its entire body displaying an ancient and weathered silver-white color, covered with dense yet chaotic secret scripts.
The body of this Outer God was actually bound to this mithril door by those chains!
He remained bound like this, as if guarding the door, for countless years.
But now, He is dead.
Its strange posture resembled that of a prisoner about to be executed, and its neck had a smooth, mirror-like cut.
It's hard to describe the shock of this scene: majestic mountains, the mithril gate within them, and a towering alien god, thousands of meters tall, chained to the tightly closed gate.
The outer god, kneeling on the ground, had been beheaded, his image forever frozen in that place in a sacrificial manner.
No blood flowed from His severed wound, but suddenly black rain began to fall from the heavens and earth.
Yes, it was black rain, with a slightly fishy sweetness. Shortly after His figure was revealed, this black rain enveloped the entire city, and countless thin black lines fell between heaven and earth.
Xia Fa dared not be negligent. He pressed one hand on his head, and a wall extended horizontally out, like an eave, to shield him from the black rain.
Even so, gazing at the city shrouded in black rain, he still deeply felt the sadness and endless desolation in the rain.
At that moment, the unknown entity resembling a heavily armored cavalryman moved.
It casually carried the golden halberd and walked to the kneeling Outer God in front of the mithril gate, but didn't even glance at Him. Instead, it bent down on its horse and picked up a round object.
Xia Ding looked closely and was startled once again.
That was... the head of this Outer God!
This head doesn't look human; rather, it resembles the appearance of a giant jaw beast that has evolved into a demi-human.
It had a round head, no hair, black skin, no nose, and its eyes were lifeless.
His mouth had no lips, only protruding teeth, which were densely packed together like nails randomly inserted.
The moment he saw His head, Xia Fa finally understood where the sorrow and desolation in the black rain between heaven and earth came from.
This is the deity worshipped and believed in by the Jawed Beasts; perhaps, He was once a Jawed Beast himself.
And just today, not long ago, this unknown being, resembling heavily armored cavalry, effortlessly destroyed the city built by His people, destroying the civilization that His people, as a strange entity, had painstakingly developed.
But He was utterly powerless, not only because His body was bound to this closed, mithril-forged, seemingly ancient gate, but also because, even as an Outer God, He had no chance of winning against those heavily armored cavalry.
Xia Fa even suspected that He had just died, right from the moment that unknown being, who resembled a heavily armored cavalryman, swung his halberd at the palace complex.
It clearly only intended to destroy the palace, yet it casually killed even the outer god...
The moment Xia Fa discovered this, he was enveloped by extreme horror and fear.
An Outer God was thus beheaded in such an extreme manner...
Where did this unknown entity, resembling a heavily armored cavalryman, come from, and what is its purpose?
Is it merely to destroy this civilization and kill an Outer God for amusement?
Thankfully, it destroyed the civilization of the supernatural beings, not human civilization... That was the only way Xia Fa could console himself.
But at that very moment, the unknown being, resembling a heavily armored cavalryman, slowly turned around, carrying a severed head, its massive, mountain-like form.
It was... pointing directly at where Xia Fa was hiding!
