Chapter 1577: Chapter 1575: Giant Tide

“Minotaur, the bull-headed man in the labyrinth?

Whether it’s the mastery of the labyrinth or its own image, it completely fits, and combined with this group’s Ancient Greek attire, it’s almost one hundred percent certain.

These guys are indeed from a world based on [Greek Mythology], and are directly connected to the gods in the myth.”

Han Dong, who used to teach in Italy, is very familiar with Greek mythology.

Additionally, Han Dong clearly witnessed the brief encounter between Hop and the young man with horns.

Initially, he was suppressed by Hop in terms of power, but as the horns manifested the God Mark,

the entwined golden fighting spirit rapidly condensed into a bull-headed illusion, which was absorbed into the youth’s body… in an instant, the youth’s skin, muscles, and even appearance were transforming.

He became able to face Hop head-on.

This scene reminded Han Dong of a power he used to turn the tables in desperate situations – “Borrowing God”.

However, in essence, there’s a difference.

Han Dong’s Borrowing God brings a complete substitute including ‘level’, even possibly changing one’s attributes or personality, and adding abnormal abilities from the Old King.

Of course, the price is extremely high,

whereas the opponent’s move called ‘God Falling’ doesn’t increase the level but significantly enhances one’s attributes and divine nature.

Compared to Han Dong’s “Borrowing God”, it’s more stable and doesn’t put much burden on the body.

“This group should have chosen their corresponding ‘deity’ early on, or inherently possess a trait of Olympus. As long as the deity is confirmed, they only need to grow along a single path.

Hop, how did you feel just now?”

Hop stared earnestly at his palm, recalling the sensation of tightly grasping the horn: “Hmm… it wasn’t just the strength that changed suddenly, but also a kind of mental oppression.”

“Next time if you face him again, do you have confidence?”

Hop scratched his head: “Although it’s a bit troublesome, there shouldn’t be a problem.”

“That’s good.”

While the two chatted leisurely.

Green was ‘closing his pores and nourishing his spirit’, all the small pores distributed across his body were completely closed, standing at rest this way.

Tearing through the labyrinth walls twice in a row had put a considerable load on his body.

Seeing this, Han Dong just whispered some secrets to Hop, quietly waiting for Green to recover.

Hop turned his head toward the sides of the labyrinth, “It seems unlikely that we can rendezvous with Kite and the others now… we can only explore the labyrinth ourselves, right?”

“Yes.

With Sally around, we don’t need to worry about their situation.

With Kite’s pathfinding traits, he’s sure to reach the labyrinth center. We just need to find a way to traverse the maze and meet them at the center.

Wait, there seems to be some commotion…”

Han Dong never let his guard down.

The opposite team could control the labyrinth and could be lurking in the shadows for an ambush right now.

However, as the sound grew louder, the attackers weren’t the Greek team.

It was a group of [Giants] who heard the noise of battle and rushed over… and not just one or two, it seemed like a community of giants living within the labyrinth.

“The numbers… are many! They’re coming!”

Magic Eye Wide Open.

Gazing at the corner of the labyrinth passage, the sight that suddenly emerged startled Han Dong.

It wasn’t just a few giants walking out side by side.

The number was so large they gushed out like a torrent,

hundreds of [Subhuman Species] stacked atop one another, trampling on each other, their bodies completely squeezed together… many giants didn’t even have a foothold, being pushed forward entirely by other giants.

There was serious trampling occurring, with several giants’ heads being directly crushed underfoot.

However, as long as the heart wasn’t damaged, they could continue to move forward.

“The numbers! Something’s off… Count! Come out and sniff.”

Han Dong didn’t retreat immediately, instead, he released the not-yet-fully-recovered Count.

“Nicholas, there’s a different scent hidden at the rear of the giant horde… it seems like someone is dominating these low-level subhuman species.”

“As expected, I was wondering how so many subhuman species could suddenly flood out.

In that case, it’s necessary to see who is controlling these giants, maybe we can get important information about the labyrinth.

Hop, let’s retreat while we kill these giants… lock onto the heart, strive to maximize efficiency in killing.”

“Alright.”

Due to the overwhelming numbers, Han Dong planned to give guerrilla tactics a try.

At this point, Green, recovered from his rest, stretched lazily, slowly stepping forward, with the small pores covering his body gradually opening.

“It’s just a group of the lowest-grade giants… let’s simply block and slaughter them all here.

If we keep retreating, combined with the labyrinth’s inherent variability, we could very well end up back at the starting point, and I don’t want to waste too much time in this maze.”

With that said.

A bare-chested Green stood in the center of the passage, extending his arms, assuming a one-man defense posture.

Drawn to the scene, Hop moved up like a bodyguard, standing behind Green.

“Ah~” Han Dong sighed, instructing the not-yet-fully-recovered Count, “Keep an eye on the surroundings for me, the Greek team may not have left yet, if you catch the scent of them, notify me immediately.

Getting caught in a pincer attack would be really troublesome.”

Woof!

…

Green was somewhat displeased, thinking he could indulge in the ‘delicacy’ that was almost in mouth, but it unexpectedly fled.

He could only vent his dissatisfaction on the ever-coming giants ahead… it was a good chance to familiarize himself with the devouring bloodline from Orochi.

Field Expansion

Just as the subhuman species, piling up like mountains and rolling in various exaggerated forms, were about to reach Green.

An invisible field spread open,

the terrifying abyssal life reappeared behind Green,

with its cavernous face locking onto the heart positions of all subhuman species simultaneously.

Buzz!

Dozens of subhuman species’ gazes dimmed simultaneously, dropping like mindless lumps of rotten flesh at Green’s feet, twitching slightly before perishing swiftly.

Their chests were each excavated with a mouthful hole, and their hearts were completely devoured.

However.

Dozens of them had little impact on the overall situation.

More of the following subhuman species were treading over their companions’ corpses, about to reach.

And it seemed Green needed a certain cooldown to reuse the trick he just performed.

Even so, he showed no intention of retreating.

When a grotesque subhuman species at the front charged forward, barely five meters away, with its big mouth agape to pounce on Green.

Hop’s robust body, nearly two and a half meters tall, stepped forward.

During the pause just now, he had removed all the armor on his upper body, revealing flawlessly muscled physique.

Field Expansion

The influence of super muscle even interfered with reality.

A gravity field spread open, the giant leaping in mid-air was heavily impacted by gravity, crashing down in front of Hop, turning into a mass of living meat target.

Right Arm charged.

Each muscle cell on the surface grew muscular tentacles, tangled together, increasing the power transfer efficiency by several times, even dozens of times.

No punch was thrown.

Hop, in a ‘low sagittal’ posture, lowered his center of gravity to the limit, akin to pulling a bow into shape.

One palm was pressed against the giant’s head.

Power up!

Like a fully drawn bow shooting an arrow.

The entire body’s muscles perfectly synchronized, as the sagittal step was recovered, the arm naturally pushed forward.

Buzz!

The air wave expanded in the air.

An extraordinarily exaggerated massive push directly shoved the giant’s head into its body, nearly squeezing out from the nether orifice… the whole entity flew rapidly backward like a giant meatball.

It felt like playing bowling.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the meatball detonated among the incoming giant horde, flesh scattering liberally, completely messing up the rhythm.

Seeing the scene, Green laughed heartily, slapping Hop’s back muscles vigorously with one hand.

Pah!

“Oh my God, haha! Hop, your strength is truly ridiculous… come with me! Let’s slaughter them all.”
