Against The True Gods-Chapter 133: In between(III)—Leviathan
The ocean of outstretched golden waters rippled, then surged into the air, as if gravity had been inverted and a spectral force pulled upon it.
The garden of bloody roses trembled, then crumbled, drawn upward into the levitating body of water.
All that remained below was a field of wet white soil.
BANG!
The remains of the island and the waters of the ocean collided violently, crashing and converging into a compact, pressurized sphere that expanded and blotted out the skies.
Runes erupted across the surface of the sphere, shimmering with unstable energy as it compressed further, trembling under the immense strain.
From below, with his arms clasped behind his back, Caine watched it all unfold, his gaze void of interest and his heart free of anticipation.
BOOOOM!
The compressed sphere exploded, then rapidly expanded into a swirling portal of golden currents—majestic, regal, and imposing as it filled the skies.
From the portal, a creature as wide as the heavens descended.
It was a long, serpentine beast, its scales a dark purple that shimmered with worlds of emerald runes. Arcs of dark lightning danced across the gem-like surfaces of its scales, reflecting an eerie brilliance.
Its colossal body stretched endlessly, its spine adorned with towering ridges of spikes connected by thin, membrane-like structures etched with archaic and complex formations.
The creature’s eyes, burning like infernos of white flame, radiated ancient power. Its maw, containing four long, mountain-sized dagger-like fangs, dripped with dark venomous liquid potent enough to corrupt the very fabric of existence.
Fumes of toxic qi wafted off it in waves, shrouding the serpent in a mantle of corrosive aura that spread throughout the world, dissolving everything in its path.
An ancient, bestial Will filled the air, suffocating and oppressive, blanketing the space in savage ferocity. A mythical killing intent permeated the atmosphere, dyeing the world with the weight of pure and unbridled force.
The aura of the creature spoke of a weathered predator, its scarred body reflecting countless eras of relentless slaughter. Experience tempered and refined over millennia was etched into its very being.
The Leviathan’s massive form fully exited the portal, its movements causing the air to implode into chaotic storms of ruptured qi flows. It soared and coiled through the skies, its power steadily and endlessly rising.
Dark azure qi gathered in the air, coalescing as its dance grew more intense.
But this was not all.
From the portal still dominating the skies, waves of creatures poured out, each one subservient to the Leviathan’s Will. The wet white soil below was overrun by the monstrous horde, their ferocious intent spreading like a plague.
A True Leviathan, with an army of summons.
Caine observed it all with an unshaken gaze, waiting for something more. Yet, when the portal began to close, his eyes narrowed.
’…That’s it?’
He had been humiliated, degraded, and toyed with for this? A Leviathan? A glorified flying water snake? A lesser beast that had not even evolved into its humanoid form?
For this?
Caine’s gaze trembled violently before settling into its usual calm indifference.
Below, reflecting the closing portal of gold, a grand and heavy dark portal opened. From its depths, swirls of terrifying creatures emerged, immediately engaging the Leviathan’s army in a gruesome battle.
Ignoring the carnage below, Caine kept his gaze fixed on the Leviathan, its aura seemingly having reached its peak.
Though in this life, he had faced few non-humanoid opponents, his past was filled with countless such battles. The fact that he still stood here was testament enough to his ability to overcome them.
WHOOOSH!
The Leviathan let out a deafening roar, its breath releasing waves of poisonous dark qi that surged toward Caine.
Simultaneously, the air twisted and shattered, lances of chaotic energy and broken space tearing through the void in his direction.
Caine’s palm moved slowly, tapping the air before him. The space folded upon itself like soft fabric. A thunderous BOOM! echoed as a wall of neutral qi formed, absorbing the attacks completely.

The wall shattered as Caine sped through it, his figure reaching the Leviathan in an instant.
Against the massive serpent, his frame was no more significant than a grain of sand before a star, yet their auras told a different story.
Caine’s True Royal Demonic Will thundered and towered, shrouding him in a mantle of dark silver qi. His fist, insignificant in size but immense in force, cocked back before unleashing a devastating punch.
BOOOOOOOOM!
The sound reverberated across the world, and the Leviathan’s massive head tilted downward under the weight of the strike.
Shards of the neutral qi wall reformed, transforming into blade-like fragments that pierced the Leviathan’s scales, drawing emerald blood that dripped from its colossal form.
Above, the once-empty skies tumbled and churned. White clouds materialized, crackling with arcs of dark lightning—Everfrost Lightning.
Caine’s fist struck again, and the heavens responded to their emperor’s call, a massive pillar of lightning hammering down upon the Leviathan’s skull.
BOOOOOOOOM!
The beast’s head crashed into the ground with colossal force, its weight causing the soil to rupture and white mist to rise into the air.
But Caine’s fury only grew, and the skies mirrored his wrath. Arcs of lightning filled the heavens, descending to encircle him, joining the mantle of his silver aura.
Pressing his foot against the air, he shot downward, his fists forming a hammer strike.
A concentrated pillar of lightning followed, crashing into the Leviathan with unparalleled intensity.
BOOOOOOOOM!
The Leviathan lay battered, its scales shattered, bones broken, and blood spilled across the ground.
How had such a massive, ancient being been reduced to this state by a mortal as small as a grain of sand?
Primal, ancient fury erupted from the beast, and it rose from the crater, its wounds rapidly closing as its True Will surged and manifested.
"…[Star Ring Circle: Everfrost Lightning]…[Foundation: Demonic Quilin]…"
In the beast world, Quilins were the revered emperors of lightning, darlings of the heavens. Demonic Quilins, their fallen counterparts, ruled as tyrants, feared and revered.
Today, Caine would show this Leviathan the might of such power.
BOOOM!
Caine’s hair erupted into a mane of lightning tendrils as black scales spread across his body. His already large frame elongated and expanded, forming a slender yet powerful eight-foot build.

His fingers sharpened into claws of white, while his feet transformed into talons etched with runes. Scarlet markings erupted across his scales, glowing faintly as his teeth elongated.
From his back, metallic dark wings tore free, and above him, the Everfrost Star shimmered, its power surging into his Dao Heart and flowing through his veins.
Caine’s Demonic Will eclipsed all else—a malevolent, majestic force that suffocated the Leviathan and its army.
His gaze, now blazing with fire and lightning, held untamed wrath. His chest expanded, and with a mighty roar, the world itself seemed to shake.
RUMBLE!
