Chapter 119 118: As Long as the Swarm Lives, I Am Immortal
At this moment, Ghost Prison had completely restored its form. It was even taller than before, and the outer armor formed by the skeletal palms was thicker and more hideous.
It slowly stood up from the deep pit, its roar—a mixture of endless madness—reverberating through the heavens and earth.
"That's right! This divine body is perfect! It combines me with the Hive Lord, the physique of Corpse Slaughter, and the immortality of the Bloodline!"
"You cannot kill me! As long as you cannot annihilate me along with the very foundations of Tokyo in a single strike, I will evolve through every cycle of destruction and rebirth! I will grow! Until I surpass you! Until I crush you!"
"By then, it won't just be this Japan! The living beings of the entire world will merge into my kingdom and become part of my power! I am the future!"
The raspy, harsh declaration, mixed with thousands of voices, was filled with fanatical confidence and a pathological longing for the future.
However, the only response it received was the Silver-White Tyrant's slightly parted maw and a ferocious smile.
"Now, the warm-up is over."
"Let me see just how much of my power..."
"...this divine body of yours can withstand being forged by."
The moment the words fell, the wisps of blood-colored lightning snakes surrounding the Silver-White Tyrant suddenly roared!
Boom—!!!
The dark-red lightning was no longer a mere embellishment; it completely boiled and erupted!
It transformed into a coat of lightning that clung tightly to her bone armor, crackling wildly!
The tyrannical energy field forced the air to emit overwhelmed explosive pops. The rubble and debris of the ruins below were drawn in by the invisible force field, hovering, shattering, and turning into dust!
The lightning had just reflected in Ghost Prison's myriad compound eyes when its vision was flooded with crimson!
Fast! Indescribably fast!
That wasn't Speed; it was a near-instantaneous closing of distance, akin to a spatial jump!
The silver-white figure left only a distorted, burning trail of lightning on its retina. The next instant—
Thump!!!!!
A dull, heavy impact rang out, as if two mountains had collided at supersonic Speeds!
Ghost Prison's body, which had just been restored to its original state, took a solid, unadorned, and brutal ramming head-on!
The thick palm-scales covering it caved inward like paper, shattering and flying apart!
The massive body didn't even have time to deflect or block before it was blasted off the ground by this utterly overbearing force!
Rumble—!
Like a flesh-and-blood cannonball thrown with full force, it plowed through the already broken earth, crashed through the foundation skeleton of a skyscraper that hadn't completely collapsed, and, amidst the wailing of reinforced concrete, smashed into the building complex further back, kicking up a sky-high cloud of dust and a series of collapsing roars!
However, before the dust could settle, the frenzied roar rose again!
"Not enough! Still not enough!!"
Purple-black energy exploded from the ruins, instantly blowing the dust away.
Ghost Prison's figure staggered to its feet. Inside the massive crater in its chest, countless newly-grown joints twisted in reverse.
Gray-white arms tunneled out like rapidly growing vines, frantically clawing and pulling at everything around them that could be used for leverage.
It forcibly wrenched the sunken sternum and flesh back into place!
Purple-black granulation filled the wounds at a visible rate, and new palms quickly covered the surface, forming an even more distorted and thicker composite armor.
In the cycle of severe injury and repair, its aura actually solidified a bit more!
"Finally, I've caught you!"
Ghost Prison's myriad compound eyes spun frantically, finally capturing a blurry silver-white afterimage before the residual light of the lightning trail faded!
It roared, and the giant wings on its back, stitched together from countless suffering human faces, suddenly snapped open!
The wingspan abruptly expanded to eighty meters! Every stretched and deformed human face opened its mouth wide at the same instant—
Ah—!!!!!
It wasn't a sound, but a spiritual shriek formed by the convergence of tens of millions of crazed thoughts acting directly on the soul level!
An invisible shockwave mixed with purple-black energy turbulence swept toward Lilith's afterimage like a tsunami!
Everywhere it passed, residual glass turned completely to powder, the ground was plowed into trenches, and even the air seemed to be stained with the colors of madness.
However, an instant before the shriek reached her, the Silver-White Tyrant's figure did not stop to block or dodge; instead, she suddenly accelerated.
The frenzied shriek, enough to cause a normal SS-Rank Hunter's Spirit to collapse, only caused the blood-lightning around her to flicker slightly for a moment. Not a single ripple appeared in her four crimson vertical pupils.
In her Tyrant Form, her Spirit attribute had already broken the two-hundred-point mark. This chaotic mental pollution was like a breeze blowing over a mountain.
It couldn't shake her consciousness at all!
Whoosh—!
The massive figure didn't pause for a second. Instead, after breaking through the layers of sound waves, her Speed surged again!
The sharp Bone Blades on her back, combined with the Wing Blades on her wingspan, transformed into the most terrifying cutting weapons at this moment!
Her entire body was like a high-Speed spinning silver top of death, and the blood-lightning at the edges of the Wing Blades was pulled by centrifugal force into a brilliant and deadly crimson wheel of light!
Rip—!!!
The air was sliced smoothly, emitting a shriek like tearing cloth.
Ghost Prison only had time to cross its dragon claws and dragon wingss in front of itself as purple-black frenzied energy gathered into the rough outline of a shield—
The spinning Wing Blade light wheel arrived!
There was no loud bang, only a series of dense and crisp "chi-chi" sounds!
The purple-black energy shield was easily sliced through and annihilated like cake!
The crossed dragon claws and dragon wingss were severed at the root the moment they touched the light wheel!
The cuts were smooth. Before the purple-black blood could even splatter, it was vaporized into a foul-smelling mist by the following blood-lightning!
The light wheel cut into Ghost Prison's massive Torso without any resistance! From the left shoulder, it slashed diagonally to the right abdomen! Spinning!
