"Ugh, can't you let me finish my sentence!"
Holding the Holy Sword, Goki was carried into the sky by the Star God's rapidly retracting giant tentacle.
Losing his footing, Goki couldn't leverage himself and fell straight into the Star God's vertically oriented, gaping maw, which had two green eyes.
At this moment, inside the vast space within the mobile city, what was once a pitch-black void at night had transformed into a Universe dotted with stars.
However, unlike what Goki had seen in past illusions, the colossal deity had directly altered reality.
But the illusory starry sky was still a mirage; a Great One could only draw power from corresponding imagery. Although the Star God was now awake, as long as he couldn't see the true starry sky, his power could never fully recover!
And now was the best time to hunt!
"Then there's nothing for it—I still need to go watch Margaret's match. You'd best be sensible! Just die sooner."
Looking at the Star God's open maw, which emitted a putrid stench, a blazing flame suddenly erupted from Goki's body.
Boom—
Flames shot forward, creating a huge reverse thrust out of thin air. Goki decelerated sharply, like an aerial drop pod.
He nimbly dodged the flying tentacles and landed on one of the Star God's hard, sharp teeth, each about a meter in diameter.
At the same time, beside Goki, a Silverlance Pegasus Knight Nona charging forward was also accidentally entangled by a tentacle. The constantly proliferating teeth on the tentacle fixed her like a cage, and she was likewise thrown towards the deity's mouth—the Star God didn't care how beautiful she was, only wanting to absorb nutrients as quickly as possible.
Without hesitation, she made the runes left by the Knight King on her long spear glow brightly, enchanting it with burning flame Spells. She continuously struck the seemingly fragile teeth, but even with all her might, she couldn't shatter them.
"It's useless!"
"You smell so good!"
"Knight, kill the Knight!"
No matter how weak, the Star God was still a Great One. Ordinary Spells had no effect on him. Many eyes reappeared on the tentacles, and with boisterous cheers, they slowly guided the Knight Nona into the great maw.
"There's no other way—for Kazimierz."
The Knight Nona, realizing escape was hopeless, hesitated for a few seconds, then gripped her hands with a determined look, beginning to guide her Originium energy into a positive cycle, causing flames to emerge from beneath her armor, intending to self-destruct.
On Terra, it was hard to live, but there were countless ways to die.
Just then, a swift figure landed in front of her.
Then, this man she had never seen before, instead of using a longsword, clenched his fist and directly punched one of those teeth, which was so sturdy it could even stop bullets.
With a bone-jarring sound, the thick tooth was instantly smashed to pieces.
Crunch—bang!
This was Skadi's usual fighting style. Among all the acquaintances Goki had met, only she and Gavial preferred such a direct approach.
But now, Goki didn't even need a weapon; he simply relied on brute force to break the jagged tusk, directly Breaking it into fragments.
However, before Goki could pull the Nona from the cage, countless tiny fissures appeared on the tentacle, and dozens of small, sharp bone spurs, carrying Shining starlight, shot like a rainstorm directly at the vital points on Goki's body.
"Die!"
Not long ago, this attack was particularly effective. Before this little bug hid inside the Knight King's shield, the Star God's attack easily pierced his body, forcing him to begin recovering.
Whoosh—ding!
But when those bone spurs, dotted with starlight, landed on Goki's body, they were directly bounced off by his skin and trench coat.
"Surprise—how much do I resemble my former self?"
Exerting force with both hands, Goki relied on brute strength to pry open the closed bone cage, then directly threw the Knight Nona to the ground some twenty meters away—for a Knight, this height was nothing.
"You're welcome—alright, now we can focus."
His eyes gleamed with pale moonlight. Goki drew his silver-white Holy Sword and stabbed every visible eye on the tentacles.
Then, he leaped sharply, a burst of flame exploding beneath his feet. Relying on the thrust generated by the pure explosion, he jumped onto another tentacle nearly ten meters high, using it as a step to climb upwards.
Violent, crude, swift, enduring—the current Goki was completely different from a few minutes ago.
Current Rank: 56+5 + 6+3 + 1+6 + 5 = 82
Vigor: 20+5 = 25
Endurance: 15+6 = 21
Strength: 27+3 = 30
Skill: 15+1 + 6 = 22
Bloodtinge: 10
Arcane: 20+5 = 25
This was an almost all-encompassing improvement. Not only did his Strength attribute touch the threshold of excellence, but his Endurance, Skill, Vigor, and Arcane attributes also entered the excellent range.
As for Bloodtinge, this attribute would increase the lethality of Goki's blood, making Quicksilver Bullets more powerful and also enhancing the power of some weapons, but Goki wouldn't use it for now.
As for the future... perhaps this attribute would be of great use.
The current Goki was, without a doubt, a top-tier elite, on par with Margaret six years later, ranking among the upper echelon of elite Operators.
