"..."
Dionysus involuntarily took a few steps back.
Under the intimidation of Reigerās almost tangible killing intent and terrifying battle power, even in his frenzied state, Dionysus found it hard to withstand Reigerās gaze and couldnāt help but retreat.
He even involuntarily swallowed a gulp of saliva.
However, facing such pressure, Dionysus nonetheless started to laugh again.
"...As expected of the most monstrous newcomer in the lower realmās history, recognized by the gods as the one who constantly breaks limits. I knew that relying on Yeāen alone would make it difficult to defeat you."
This was particularly obvious.
Before this monstrous newcomer in front of him reached Lv.7, he already had the ability to challenge and defeat Lv.7 opponents across levels, and even had terrifying achievements like single-handedly subjugating a spiritās avatar, something Dionysus certainly couldnāt selectively ignore.
Now that Reiger has reached Lv.7, compared to before, he would absolutely be a lot stronger, barely someone that a being comparable to Lv.7 could handle.
If not for the absolute taboo of lower realm humans killing gods, Dionysus was sure he would already have been cut down by this monstrous newcomer.
So...
"Donāt blame me for using extreme measures, [Limit Breaker]."
Dionysusās laughter gradually turned terrifying.
It was the kind of laughter only entities devoid of humanity would make.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, Reiger abruptly raised his head, looking towards the black dragon that was buried into the immortal spirit.
"Gulp..."
On the black dragonās body, as if about to be set ablaze, like being bound to a cross, soon to become a sacrifice, most of its body was buried into the dragonās body, the spirit opened its last remaining exposed eye.
That eye differed from the eyes of the other spirit avatars, unlike their innocence, it was bloated and evil like the most primitive state of a "Treasure Bead Fetus".
And with the movement of this eye, the previously motionless black dragon also moved.
"Splurt!"
This was the sound of a tentacle made of green flesh piercing into a body.
It suddenly shot out from the black dragon, at a speed much faster than a bullet, instantly penetrating the body lying in a pool of blood.
Thatās right, it was Yeāenās body.
Then, the tentacle started to pulsate like a blood vessel, as if injecting something into Yeāenās body, continuously pumping, looking chilling to the bone.
"[Maximum EnhanceĀ·Instant Decision]!"
Witnessing this, Reiger almost instinctively cast a magic, releasing a slash that severed space.
"Splat!"
The invisible space slash promptly and neatly cut off that tentacle, causing a liquid resembling blood to spray from the severed end.
However, after being cut, the remaining length of the tentacle stubbornly slithered into Yeāenās body.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
Yeāenās severed body suddenly began to swell, countless green flesh pouring out from the wounds, re-connecting the severed upper and lower halves.
"Urgh... aaaaaaaahhhhh...!"
The originally dying Yeāen suddenly let out an excruciating scream.
She struggled, rolling about, as if something terrifying was about to be born from her body, her entire form swelled up.
"[Maximum EnhanceĀ·Crimson Nova]!"
A glint of fierceness flashed in Reigerās eyes, he unleashed the strongest single-target fire magic at hand without saying a word, causing wild flames to erupt from the magic array, enveloping Yeāenās entire body.
But what surprised Reiger was that the burning speed of the flames couldnāt keep up with the rate of the opponentās body swelling, being broken through in no time.
"ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā āā!"
Finally, Yeāenās cry turned into the roar of a non-human monster.
When the "Treasure Bead Fetus" parasitizes on an individual, evolving into a female-bodied monster, such a roar is emitted.
"So, itās another parasitic āTreasure Bead Fetusā?"
Reiger lowered his raised hand, murmuring with flickering eyes.
In return, Dionysus laughed heartily.
"No, no, no, youāre wrong there, [Limit Breaker]."
Dionysus responded with an extremely despicable laugh, saying these words.
"This time, the parasite isnāt a splitting entity like the āTreasure Bead Fetusā, but the main body!"
Hearing this, Reigerās expression stiffened.
"The main body?"
He seemed to understand something.
"Precisely! The main body!" Dionysus laughed loudly, spreading his arms as he spoke: "All the āTreasure Bead Fetusā are merely avatars of the Polluted Immortal Spiritās main body, embryos split off from the Polluted Immortal Spiritās main body!"
"In other words, all individuals parasitized by the āTreasure Bead Fetusā, including the spirit avatars that have successfully transformed, are actually just tentacles of the Polluted Immortal Spiritās main body!"
"The power they possess is only a part of the main body!"
"Now, what is parasitizing on little Yeāen is not some avatar embryo, but a genuine part cut from the body of the Polluted Immortal Spiritās true form!"
The difference was enormous, requiring no additional explanation from Dionysus.
Because, Reiger already felt an overwhelmingly terrifying magic power surging from Yeāenās body.
The magnitude of this magic power was even greater than the transformed spirit avatar that absorbed Reigerās magic stone on the 59th floor of the underground city.
