Chapter 1218: The Reborn Sun God

Chapter 1218: Chapter 391: The Reborn Sun God

Before Ian could finish speaking, a tentacle, agile and with a giant pincer-like tip, shot out like a venomous serpent emerging from its hole. It ignored the hastily conjured magic power shields Ian set up and accurately grasped him once again!

The power of the tentacle was terrifyingly immense, immediately squeezing, causing Ian to feel as if every bone in his body was groaning under the pressure, his magic power was tightly sealed, and even breathing became difficult. He was lifted high, like a lamb waiting for slaughter, suspended right in front of the Evil God’s sixteen perfect faces.

“Struggle!” the Evil God sneered, as the tentacle holding Ian slowly began to move, pushing him toward one of the gaping, sharp-toothed mouths. “Let fear permeate your soul! Let despair devour your mind! In the eternal agony of becoming a ‘perfect’ part of me, savor the folly of your choices today!”

Ian was tightly squeezed like a sparrow entangled by a giant serpent. He struggled desperately, with magic shock and physical writhing, but the Evil God’s power was like a mountain, immovable. The sharp-toothed giant mouth drew ever closer, its stinking breath engulfing him, and he could even see clearly the pulsating, organ-like dark purple fleshy wall deep inside the mouth.

The shadow of death had never been so clear.

Just as the giant mouth was about to close, the sharp teeth ready to bite down—

Grasped tightly and seemingly at the end of his rope, Ian’s body suddenly went rigid. Then, on his face twisted by pain and suffocation, his mouth corner lifted ever so slowly and unexpectedly upward.

“Heh heh…”

A low, raspy laugh, yet filled with indescribable mockery and calculation, squeezed out of his compressed throat.

The Evil God’s action paused for an extremely brief moment, less than half a second, because of this untimely laugh. A flicker of doubt passed through the purplish-red giant eye.

“Laughing on the brink of death?”

A trace of unease flashed in his mind.

So he attempted to suppress his intuition with a roar.

Still inexperienced, for his lifetime was too short.

In this brief halt!

“I am the bridge between reality and illusion.”

All remaining magic power within Ian, along with the “Prince” bloodline power ignited by the Sun God Ra, which had erupted completely due to the desperate situation, exploded forth like a breached galactic river! The giant pincer trapping him was utterly unable to block this transformation that went beyond the physical form, originating from the essence of life!

Poof!

A soft sound. The “Ian” firmly squeezed by the Evil God’s giant pincer instantly transformed into a swirl of black feathers flying everywhere! And the real Ian, under the cover of the swirling feathers, in the form of a raven, shot out like the fastest black lightning from the gaps of the giant pincer!

He entered the void.

Then reappeared in reality.

In the blink of an eye, he had broken free of his constraints.

He used the Evil God’s pulling force, shooting towards the Eye of the Ra, which was very close by like an arrow leaving the bowstring!

“What?!”

The Evil God was taken aback, wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

“Damn it!”

The Evil God’s giant mouth snapped shut at the unexpected twist, only crushing a useless bunch of feathers with a “click”. His purplish-red giant eye was instantly filled with fury and amazement!

Ian.

The black raven—did not pause for a single moment! His target, from the beginning, was never escape! His trajectory was direct, determined, carrying the intent to perish together, launching a final, most fatal dive towards the “Eye of the Ra”, which was close at hand from his current position!

It turns out, from the moment Ian was caught by the tentacle and pushed towards the giant mouth, he had given up futile struggles. He endured immense pain and suffocation, waiting for this moment! He gambled on the Evil God’s arrogance as a “victor”, gambled that the Evil God would personally send this “prey” near the core of his power! He risked his life, using himself as bait, completing the most crucial step with the Evil God’s own help.

Using the Evil God’s own power, he closed the distance to the Eye of the Ra!

“No—!”

The Evil God wasn’t completely unable to think; he finally understood Ian’s trick, roared with earth-shattering fury, all tentacles frantically retracting to defend!

But, it was too late!

The Evil God frantically tried to prevent it, but everything was too late. The distance between Ian and the Eye of the Ra was already very close, plus the Evil God’s own pulling force.

This strike was unbelievably fast.

The black raven, like a moth to a flame, or a blade stabbing into a heart, with transcendental speed, exerted all his strength, his iron-hard beak smashing fiercely, with perfect precision, against the pulsating, pus-covered core of the “Eye of the Ra”!

“You bastard!”

Set-Apep let out a terrifying roar.

Crash!

A crisp, yet glass-shattering sound, echoed throughout the entire Divine War Space, suddenly arose!

The Eye of the Ra developed a crack, golden light bursting forth from the fissure.

“No! Impossible!”

The Evil God frantically attempted to repair the protective talisman, but the crack swiftly spread, soon covering the entire Eye of the Ra.

The moment the Eye of the Ra shattered, time seemed to freeze. The golden protective talisman embedded in the Evil God’s neck erupted with an unbearably dazzling brilliance, like thousands of suns exploding simultaneously. The cracks rapidly spread like a living thing, soon covering the entire surface of the talisman.

Boom!

The Eye of the Ra exploded completely, turning into countless golden fragments. An indescribable, enormous force surged out from the explosion center, like an ancient volcano suddenly erupting.

The energy vortex began to collapse, and the tentacles binding Osiris and Isis snapped one after another. The Evil God let out a roar of pain and unwillingness as its body started to disintegrate at a terrifying speed—having lost the Eye of the Ra, that anchor which had stolen the Sun God’s Origin, it could no longer maintain such a colossal form of energy.

“No—!!!” Set-Apep let out a deafening roar, its voice filled with inconceivable terror and fury. “This is impossible! My perfect plan…”

In that roar were curses toward Ian, toward the Lord of the Underworld and his wife, toward the entire world; but even more than that, it was despair at its own so-called “perfection” being utterly shattered.

An indescribable, majestic power spewed out from the center of the explosion—that was the Power of Origin of the Sun God, stolen and imprisoned for far too long. The golden torrent swept across heaven and earth in an instant like the first ray of light at the dawn of the cosmos. It was as if the sun’s core, suppressed for eons, suddenly erupted from that shattered pupil!

The energy vortex crumbled to dust under the impact of this pure Divine Power.

All the matter and energy that had been devoured were released one after another.

The radiance was no longer gentle sunlight, but liquid, surging Divine Power Origin, bearing supreme majesty and the might of purification! It was like a golden tsunami. Then came the most breathtaking scene— the belly of the Evil God Set-Apep suddenly swelled violently, as though something inside were about to burst out from within.

Its skin turned transparent, and one could clearly see a curled-up figure within, awakening.

“Damn you… Ra!”

The Evil God howled in agony, trying to press down its ever-swelling abdomen with both hands, but it was all in vain.

At the very instant when, due to the shattering of the “Eye of the Ra,” the Evil God’s core collapsed and twisted in pain, the abdomen of that vast body was as if seized from within by an invisible giant hand and savagely torn open! A gigantic rift ignited with pure golden flames at its edges appeared out of thin air! Immediately after, a small, barefoot figure—

also from the depths of that churning rift of pus and golden flame—slowly yet resolutely tore its way out through the belly! It was precisely that little boy curled up at the center of the cellar, the one with golden eyes!

He was indeed the true Sun God Ra.

In this moment, he was utterly transformed. Suspended in midair, his small body was bathed in the torrent of Divine Power Origin, like a golden river of stars, erupting from the Eye of the Ra. Those two pitch-black eyes that once devoured all light had now completely become two blazing golden suns, eternally burning, dazzling beyond compare, their radiance illuminating the entire cosmos.

“You… you actually… how dare you!” Set-Apep stared in disbelief at the Sun God emerging from its own body as its mangled form began to collapse at an extreme pace.

Ra hovered in the air, his entire being shrouded in golden light. The Divine Power Origin released from the Eye of the Ra converged upon him like bees returning to their hive, merging into his body. With every portion of Divine Power that fused into him, his form grew more solid, and the pressure he exuded grew stronger.

“I am back.”

The tattered white robe on the Sun God’s body was washed away by the surging Divine Power, replaced by a layer of Divine Light Armor formed entirely of pure Light Energy, like a Pharaoh’s Crown and a Scarab Heart Guard combined. Innumerable streams of golden Divine Power Origin spouting from the Eye of the Ra converged on his small frame like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, like weary birds returning to the forest, madly yet in perfect order merging into him!

His form stabilized and ascended within the radiance. The brilliance of divinity spread out from him in rings, and wherever it passed, even the dark red clouds in the sky, polluted by the Evil God and congealed like clots of blood, were swiftly purified and dispersed! The long-lost, pure, warm sky-blue—

like a canvas washed anew—slowly spread across the firmament, bit by bit.

That unsettling gold gradually faded, replaced by the warm and pure true hue of sunlight.

The “sun” of the cosmos was having its color forcibly corrected, restored to the life-bearing origin it ought to possess. The false sun in the sky completely dissipated; though the true sun had yet to fully rise, its light was already beginning to cleanse this world. Ra’s voice was calm, yet brimmed with majesty.

In those golden eyes burned the fire of primordial wisdom.

“Your thieving journey ends here.”

It was as though some verdict had been pronounced.

Something the Evil God could not accept.

“I am the strongest! The most perfect!”

Under the double blow of the Eye of the Ra shattering and the Sun God tearing his way out from within, the massive body of the Evil God toppled backward like a giant beast whose spine had been ripped out. Its remaining flesh constantly disintegrated and shriveled under the scour of golden Divine Power, the purplish-red glow dimming to the extreme.

Yet that “evil” essence did not vanish. On the contrary, in the face of utter failure and annihilation, it was forced out into its most primal, most twisted, most aberrant form!

Set-Apep had now completely lost the outer semblance of a god, turning into a monster composed of pure darkness and chaos. Its lingering consciousness, like the amalgam of billions of resentful souls, let out a final shriek filled with boundless malice, gathering every last remnant of the foulest Dark Power.

The Evil God transformed into a distorted torrent of purple-black energy formed from innumerable wailing faces, and regardless of all else, hurled itself in mad fury toward the Sun God, who was floating in the air and absorbing the Divine Power Origin!

“Even if I lose my Divine Power, I’ll drag you into destruction with me!” the Evil God roared insanely.

That torrent contained the Evil God’s final Curse and will to annihilate, its might terrifying to behold.
