Chapter 121 (2/3): Erlang Zhenjun, Underworld Hellhound

Su Fu was truly too fierce. 

The last to fall was the Greek map; there was no guarantee they weren’t next.

Rather than hiding, it was better to strike proactively, especially now that the World Tree Seedling was already showing vigorous vitality. 

Waiting any longer would only be more dangerous.

This was the reason they chose to cooperate despite their suspicions.

Just then, Chiya’s expression flickered, and he said softly, “She’s here.”

Olaf and the other two immediately became alert, whispering, “Act according to plan. You deal with Su Fu, we protect the World Tree.”

Huangfu Yun smiled slightly, “Of course.”

She was truly curious about exactly how strong this Su Fu was. 

But no matter how strong, she was quite confident in herself because she possessed invincible defense.

Su Fu piloted the Immortal Ship and had already appeared above the Norse map.

Legend said that the Rainbow Bridge connected Asgard (the Heavenly Realm) and Midgard (the human realm).

Looking down from a high altitude, the originally massive Rainbow Bridge was already broken. 

Now, only a small portion remained suspended in the void, with countless fragments floating in mid-air. 

The once brilliant seven-colored radiance had faded into a dim afterglow.

Below the Rainbow Bridge was a bottomless dark abyss, with endless darkness gushing out as if to swallow all light. 

Giant island fragments floated in the air surrounding it—some inverted, some tilted—as if torn apart by an invisible hand and tossed about. 

The former glory of the divine domain was gone, leaving only fallen remains and broken walls.

“Ragnarok…” Su Fu sighed.

Amidst this devastation, that touch of emerald green seemed out of place. 

The World Tree Seedling was growing tenaciously among the ruins, like a beam of light in the darkness, or perhaps the last hope in despair.

“Good stuff.” Even Chesia was envious.

Su Fu saw the layers of defensive runes surrounding the World Tree, wrapping it like transparent bubbles. 

Several figures were patrolling the perimeter, occasionally stopping to check the status of the runes or looking up alertly to survey the surroundings.

There were guards? 

Everything seemed normal…

But Su Fu’s intuition told her something was wrong so she decided to investigate.

“[Investiture of Gods · Know One’s Fate]!”

The Heavenly Technique activated. 

In her vision, the World Tree suddenly changed color. 

The emerald green turned into a dense green, and several threads of fate were pulled from the center—some were golden, as dazzling as sunlight; some were red, as intense as fresh blood; and there were black ones…

Each thread extended toward the void in different directions. 

Just as she wanted to look further, the phenomenon instantly returned to normal. 

This represented what she could currently see.

“So those lines are possible fates… Different colored lines represent different fates? Whose would they be?”

She would know by seeing who was here.

Su Fu didn’t hesitate anymore and directly used the Forbidden Object, the Wisdom Fruit Core, which allowed her to briefly gain a hyper-dimensional perspective.

In an instant, everything before her was pulled away. 

She suddenly became an observer overlooking the entire situation. 

Three-dimensional space was like an unfolded painting in her eyes, allowing her to clearly see every corner. 

Time froze before her eyes, and space unfolded. 

Those hidden existences were like fireworks in the dark, nowhere to hide.

“Oh?” Her expression changed as she saw several unexpected yet not-so-surprising Test Takers—it was those geniuses whose reputations were rising. 

Huangfu Yun’s God Mecha, Chiya, and Zero.

“It really is a trap,” Su Fu laughed softly, “But since we’re already here, let’s play along.”

Her vision gradually returned to normal. 

Su Fu turned to look at the Howling Celestial Dog and said, “I’ll draw the fire in a moment. You and Chesia take the chance to seize the seedling. Good doggie, good snakey, it’s up to you two now!”

“Woof woof! Leave it to me!” The Howling Celestial Dog wagged its tail with high fighting spirit.

Chesia flicked her tongue, “We’ll catch them all in one go!”

Since they were here to take the World Tree, she couldn’t fire the big cannons like last time. 

Su Fu leaped off the Immortal Ship, the Wind Fire Wheels igniting into brilliant flames in the air.

Seeing this, the Norse warriors on the ground immediately became “panicked.”

“Su Fu is here! Protect the World Tree!” Olaf roared, raising his battle axe as a blurry Thor Divine Manifestation appeared behind him.

Blue frost emerged around Eric, while Erika was encased in a layer of golden battle armor. 

The effects of their Heavenly Techniques looked quite imposing, but seeing these three’s clumsy acting, Su Fu felt like laughing.

If they really encountered a strong enemy, the first reaction should be to call for reinforcements and gather more people to protect the World Tree, rather than three people daring to face an existence that could crush Achilles. 

This was clearly showing weakness to lure the enemy in deep.

Just as she landed, countless red dots suddenly lit up beneath her feet.

“Boom—!”

A series of explosions erupted around her. 

A chain explosion went off with her at the center, surrounding her completely. 

The fire from the explosion shot into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the heat instantly charred the surrounding land.

This was Huangfu Yun’s small test. 

However, in the next second, her expression froze.

Among the flying debris, a red silk fluttered, surrounding Su Fu like a living thing and steadily protecting her at the center. 

The shockwaves, the smoke, and even the flying stones were all intercepted by the soft silk.

Standing in the middle of the smoke, Su Fu was pristine. 

Not a single strand of hair was out of place.

Almost simultaneously, she looked up toward the place where Huangfu Yun was hiding and laughed softly, “Since you’re here, why not show yourself? Huangfu Yun.” She paused, then said, “Oh, and those two behind you.”

Huangfu Yun’s expression changed.

Su Fu already knew about their ambush! 

This was clearly knowing there was a tiger in the mountain but heading there anyway.

In that case, let’s just do it!

Huangfu Yun spread her arms, and her body was quickly covered in flowing light.

Mechanical armor flowed out like liquid, encasing her entire body. 

Then, the mecha grew rapidly, expanding at a terrifying speed. 

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a hundred-meter-tall steel Giant with light wings on its back.

The silver-white mecha gleamed in the sunlight, representing the pinnacle of human craftsmanship. 

Olaf sucked in a breath of cold air.

Was this the Stellar Abyss Group’s new “God Mecha”? 

No wonder Huangfu Yun dared to face Su Fu directly! 

It was so powerful it was practically like a god descending into the mortal world!

At the same time, a series of prompts sounded in Huangfu Yun’s ear: [Phasing Engine Started]

[Infinite Energy Core Activated]

[Perspective Module Opened]

[Analyzing Target Weaknesses…]

[Combat Mode Initialized, Wishing You Success in Battle.]

“Chiya, Zero,” Huangfu Yun’s voice transmitted through the mecha, carrying a chilling killing intent, “Act according to plan!”

The light wings behind her back flared open, and she laughed lowly, “The hunting hour has begun.”

The God Mecha charged instantly. 

Though massive, its speed was exceptionally flexible. 

By comparison, Su Fu was like an ant, so small she was almost negligible.

The God Mecha’s right arm twisted and deformed rapidly, the forearm armor flipping layer by layer to reveal a rotating black core inside. 

That black wasn’t a color but an absolute darkness formed by the absorption of all light. 

It was a terrifying vortex resembling a black hole.

The black hole surged toward that tiny figure, letting out a hair-raising screech. 

“Gravity Collapse, devouring everything!”

Just then, she saw Su Fu move on the ground.

Su Fu slightly raised her hand, and the red silk fluttering behind her wrapped entirely around her arm. 

At the same time, a golden light appeared behind her, gradually revealing a massive and blurry figure.

‘A Divine Manifestation?!’ The thought flashed through Huangfu Yun’s mind. 

It was said that the last time Su Fu used a Divine Manifestation was half a year ago. 

‘So now…’

Her thoughts came to an abrupt halt.

She watched the scene before her in shock.

The Divine Manifestation behind Su Fu was expanding at a terrifying speed—twenty meters, fifty meters, eighty meters…

In the blink of an eye, it stood tall between heaven and earth, equal in height to her mecha!

But it didn’t end there. 

Even more terrifying was that the Divine Manifestation began to expand horizontally—

Huangfu Yun: “…?”

Two arms turned into four, then six, and finally, it was a Three-Headed Six-Armed form!

Everyone on the field was stunned at this sight.

“This…” Olaf’s hand holding the axe trembled, “By the gods…”

“Wait… isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?” Erika murmured to herself. 

Why wasn’t her own Divine Manifestation even ten meters tall? 

“Your Divine Manifestation seems a bit different from mine…”

Eric even had to crane his neck high just to see the full form of the Divine Manifestation. 

But the moment he saw it clearly, his mentality almost collapsed on the spot.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, Su Fu had already made her move.

She charged toward the God Mecha, with the Huntian Ling in her left hand and the Fire-tipped Spear in her right. 

The hundred-meter Divine Manifestation behind her was in perfect synchronization with her movements. 

Its remaining divine arms, whether in fists or palms, surged forward with the momentum to crush mountains!

“Boom—!”

The Fire-tipped Spear collided directly with the black hole, erupting with eye-piercing brilliance. 

However, the scene of the spear being swallowed did not occur. 

Instead, violent ripples appeared on the surface of the black hole.

This strike pierced straight into the center of the black hole.

Like a sharp sword piercing through a cloth bag.

The black hole suddenly let out a piercing screech. 

The vortex, which should have devoured all things, vibrated violently as if it were about to burst from being overstuffed.

The Fire-tipped Spear continued its advance amidst the tremors, penetrating, penetrating, and penetrating again!

Huangfu Yun’s expression finally changed, her eyes filled with disbelief. 

“What on earth is that?!”

The screen before her flashed frantically with red warnings: [Divine Power absorption overloaded!]

[Right arm damage: 50%!]

[Black hole module about to collapse—]

[Suggest immediate activation of Virtualization!]

Almost at the same time, the Fire-tipped Spear finally broke through that line of dark defense.

“Boom—!”

Amidst an ear-splitting explosion, the black hole burst like a punctured balloon.

The shockwave plowed through the surrounding ruins once more, causing another massive section of the Rainbow Bridge’s wreckage to crumble.

The Fire-tipped Spear’s momentum did not decrease, pointing directly at the core of the Divine Mecha!

In the next second, however, the Fire-tipped Spear passed through the Divine Mecha as if it were a phantom, reaching the ground and blasting a giant crater a hundred meters in diameter into the earth.

Su Fu suddenly frowned. 

No, she had clearly hit it, yet it felt like a moon reflected in water?

The fluctuation sensed at that moment… was exactly the same as when the Immortal Ship traveled through space, as if it were not in the same spatial dimension, as if it had undergone virtualization.

Not far away, the air suddenly twisted.

Huangfu Yun’s figure appeared, staggering. 

She was trembling slightly; the armor on her right arm had been blown apart, leaving only some shattered mechanical remains barely connected.

“For a moment just now, you didn’t exist.” Su Fu raised an eyebrow slightly, “Spatial virtualization…”

“Is this the new technology you’ve developed?”

Su Fu felt that this ability was a bit too useful. 

In a moment of crisis, one could simply dodge into another space and wait for the attack to end before ending the virtualization.

As long as the timing was right, it could be called an invincible defense.

Huangfu Yun did not reply. 

She breathed heavily, struggling to adjust her condition.

On the analytical screen before her eyes, the same sentence continued to flash repeatedly and rapidly: [Weakness analysis failed]

[Target Divine Pantheon has no recorded characteristics]

[Rescanning…]

[No weaknesses found…]

[No weaknesses found…]

[No weaknesses found…]

‘How was this possible!’ Huangfu Yun felt her head spinning. 

Every Divine Pantheon had a weakness. 

For example, the Norse Loki feared True Word Spells, the Mayan Rain God Chac feared fire, and the Egyptian Amun-Ra feared darkness…

“But why… does Su Fu not have one? Does the Chinese Pantheon… have none? Impossible, this is impossible…”

Huangfu Yun’s gaze sharpened, “No, this must be an illusion Su Fu is giving me!”

She had studied Su Fu; she knew the girl did such wicked things often!

Huangfu Yun lunged forward again, her left hand attack module fully open, and a scorching stream of high-energy particles condensed in her palm.

The mecha utilized the limits of physical laws to release a force sufficient to tear the earth apart.

The air was split open, letting out a sharp hiss, but it met the Fire-tipped Spear.

Su Fu didn’t even lift an eyelid.

Parrying, sweeping, thrusting, spinning…

Huangfu Yun exchanged over a dozen moves in continuous succession, and every single one was—blocked.

“Clang clang clang—”

The sound of metal clashing rang out in a continuous barrage.

Huangfu Yun frantically used her virtualization ability for assistance. 

Her right arm partially virtualized during the attack, bypassing Su Fu’s defense, only to be easily parried by the shaft of the Fire-tipped Spear just before it could hit.

Her back armor virtualized to dodge a killing blow, but she heard the earth behind her being destroyed, the roaring sound making her dizzy.

“I can’t break through, I can’t break through at all!”
