The girl looked delicate and utterly adorable. Her skin was fair and flawless, her soft pale-blonde hair tied into twin tails that bounced behind her head. She wore a peculiar long dress covered in criss-crossing patterns, unmistakably the markings of a turtle shell.
She floated in mid-air, slowly descending until she landed in front of Ye Chui, Boslili, and Longbao. Her little face carried an air of supreme arrogance as she planted her hands on her hips and looked down at the three of them with open contempt.
Both Ye Chui and Boslili were stunned. The terrifying opponent they had been fighting for so long had suddenly turned into this turtle-shell loli. It was a bit hard to process.
When magical beasts took human form, they did not necessarily have to transform their entire body. They could also separate their divine soul from the flesh and reshape it into a human vessel, exactly as the girl had done now. Her colossal body that carried the entire Beast Garden world still existed; in this state, that titanic shell simply became her weapon.
The turtle-shell girl looked down at her current teenage body, almost nostalgic. “Hmph. It has been five thousand years since I last used the form the God of Gods personally shaped for me back then…”
Wait… what did you just say?
The God of Gods personally shaped this form for you?
A beautiful young girl, wearing a quirky dress that screamed anime cosplay, twin tails swaying… The ancient gods really knew how to have fun.
Ye Chui could not help complaining inwardly.
The girl tilted her head up at Longbao and declared haughtily, “Longbao, I refuse to speak to you while you are in dragon form. Turn human!”
“Human form!?” Ye Chui and Boslili exclaimed together, staring at Longbao.
Longbao could take human shape too?
Longbao twisted uncomfortably and growled under his breath, “This dragon is perfectly fine like this. I do not need a human form…”
“Weren’t you extremely proud of your human form back then? Always showing off in front of me. Why so shy now?” the girl sneered.
“When did this dragon ever show off in front of you? Stop making things up!” Longbao roared at once.
“Hmph. Is the mighty God of All Beasts going to deny what he did?” She folded her arms smugly. “And who was it that tried to seduce me into producing offspring?”
“…” Ye Chui and Boslili both shuddered. They turned to Longbao in unison. Hadn’t Longbao just said it was the girl who nearly seduced him?
Longbao thrashed irritably. “I am a dragon, and you are the strongest turtle-type magical beast. It is only natural we should mate. Our children would have inherited both dragon and turtle bloodlines, dragon-turtles! How creative is that…”
He glared at the girl. “Why do you think I brought you back in the first place!?”
“…”
Ye Chui covered his face. Longbao’s morals back in the day seemed highly questionable…
The girl gave another cold humph. “I followed you to the divine domain because I wanted power, to evolve into a true dragon. You only wanted to breed with me… Longbao, now that you have fallen into my hands, I will not let you go!”
As she spoke, she started walking toward Ye Chui and Boslili, twin tails swishing menacingly. She looked incredibly cute, yet the pressure radiating from her was several times stronger than before.
Longbao shouted anxiously, “Wait! If you hadn’t met me, you would never have grown this strong! Primordial Chaos Turtles only reach peak rank seven naturally. Without everything I gave you, how could you have broken through to rank nine…” Unable to bear it any longer, Longbao’s massive body suddenly became enveloped in thick white mist. His enormous frame rapidly shrank. He was transforming into human shape.
Within the mist, the silhouette of a tall, handsome man could be seen. Ye Chui and Boslili watched in anticipation. Longbao was about to take human form! What would he look like?
Then the mist cleared.
A chubby, snow-white toddler of about two or three years old appeared before them.
The “tall handsome man” had just been an optical illusion caused by the mist.
The little chubby boy was completely naked, with two tiny horns on his head. He stood there proudly with hands on hips, then realised something was wrong. He hurriedly looked down, trembled, and covered his private parts with his pudgy hands. His face turned bright red. “My power is still far too incomplete… This is the only human form I can manage right now…”
No wonder he had always refused to take human shape in front of Ye Chui and the others. This appearance was just too mismatched with the majestic dragon race!
Seeing Longbao’s human form, the girl burst into clear, bell-like laughter. She had hidden in this separate dimension for thousands of years, waiting for the chance to become a true dragon. In the age of the gods she had once shaken the world, but dragons stood at the apex of magical beasts. No matter how hard she trained, without achieving dragonification she could never rival them. Now the opportunity had finally come. The former God of All Beasts had fallen to this state. If she devoured him, she would surely succeed in becoming a dragon!
Though she looked delicate and adorable, she was still the most dangerous existence in this entire world.
After Longbao appeared, her killing intent only grew stronger.
Her bare little feet took another step toward the three. The movement looked slow, yet the next instant she appeared directly in front of Boslili.
“Careful!” baby Longbao shouted. “That is her strongest ability, 【Turtle-Speed Kill】!”
Turtle-Speed Kill?
Ye Chui was mildly surprised by the name. The next moment Boslili cried out. The instant the girl appeared before her, Boslili had already turned her body into solid ice, a defensive spell. But with a casual wave of the girl’s hand, an overwhelming force sent Boslili flying. She crashed into the ground with a boom, carving out a massive crater.
Her ice body was covered in cracks, one arm completely severed.
Yet the broken arm quickly reattached itself. The fissures on her ice-sculpture-like body gradually closed, as though shattered ice were reassembling. She reverted to flesh and blood, looking weary but unharmed, only rather shocked.
This was the Super Ice Spell 【Body of Frozen Ice】. It turned the caster’s body into living ice. Even if pulverised into frost, the pieces could reform, an almost unbreakable defensive magic.
Still, recalling how the girl’s seemingly slow attack had actually been impossibly fast, so fast she could not even react, Boslili’s expression instantly turned grave.
The gigantic turtle form had been frightening, but still within the realm of “possibly defeatable”. In this girl form, the pressure she exerted had multiplied!
The next instant, the girl appeared in front of Ye Chui.
Her hand thrust forward, piercing straight through his body.
It was not an after-image. It was real.
The girl’s adorable face wore a cruel smile as her arm passed through Ye Chui’s torso. She could not have given him any time to react.
“One down…”
She withdrew her arm with a cold laugh and turned her gaze toward baby Longbao.
Longbao, who was picking up vines from the ground to wrap around his waist for modesty, saw her looking at him and immediately straightened up. “Wait! I am your most beloved Longbao…”
BOOM!
A massive green fist suddenly slammed into the girl.
Hulk’s Fist. The girl’s petite body was swatted sideways like a baseball. Boslili and Longbao hurriedly looked toward the owner of the fist, Ye Chui.
There was still a gaping hole in Ye Chui’s stomach where he had been struck.
Yet the hole was visibly closing.
It was not healing magic or light-based recovery. The missing portion of Ye Chui’s body and clothes had simply vanished the moment he was attacked, and was now being replenished from nowhere. Even his clothes restored themselves perfectly.
At the same moment, a strange change occurred in Ye Chui’s left eye. The pupil had become an odd triangular pinwheel pattern…
Boslili quickly moved to Ye Chui’s side, examining him in surprise. “Space magic?”
“Exactly. This spell is called 【Kamui Intangibility】!” Ye Chui nodded, still warily watching the girl.
He had spent 5,000 points using 【Specified Comprehension】 on Uchiha Obito from Naruto, then another 3,000+ points to finally unlock this overpowered space spell. It was essentially the Mangekyō Sharingan’s 【Kamui】. Its greatest strength lay in connecting to a different dimension, allowing Ye Chui to transfer any part of his body that was about to be hit into that dimension.
That dimension was his own [storage space]. Conventionally, space magisters could not store their own living bodies inside their storage space.
Yet 【Kamui Intangibility】 made the impossible possible. The instant an attack landed, the targeted body part entered the storage space, rendering him virtually intangible and immune to any physical or magical strike.
At the same time, it granted him an even stronger form of teleportation. Ordinary teleportation still required entering and exiting a portal. 【Kamui】 allowed parts of his body to appear elsewhere simultaneously through the storage-space medium, skipping the portal phase entirely.
This was how he had evaded the black-clothed man’s space-devouring fire dragon earlier.
【Kamui Intangibility】 also gave him far greater control over his storage space, which was why his King’s Arsenal now worked so smoothly.
The turtle-shell girl, sent flying by Ye Chui’s punch, stood up again. She frowned at him.
Ye Chui grew serious and said in a low voice, “Longbao, go deal with the other magical beasts. Boslili and I will handle her.”
Over the past three days of preparation, Ye Chui had readied several trump cards: 【One Hundred Gold Coins Golden Super Railgun】, 【Kamui Intangibility】, 【King’s Arsenal】… and one final, strongest spell created specifically for the Beast God.
He only hoped it would be enough against this terrifying opponent.
