The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 487 - Trump Card

Energy of various attributes vibrated as the Origin of Mutation entered its combat mode. The source was the stomach transplanted into its body, which allowed it to swallow any elemental attribute it wished.

Opening its three grafted mouths, it sucked in the powerful Lightning Energy from the surroundings. Its stomach fluid slowly digested the violent Lightning Energy, turning it into energy for the Origin of Mutation.

It channeled the energy through several organs and shot out a deadly laser from one of its mouths, aiming straight at the Tempest Tiger. Scoffing, the beast blocked the laser using lightning orbs formed from the surrounding Lightning Energy.

The two energies dissipated after the initial clash, but the Tempest Tiger’s gaze upon the Origin of Mutation had changed.

As part of the Will of the Desolate Civilization and having evolved forty-one times, the Tempest Tiger was extremely intelligent. It could discern that the Origin of Mutation had grafted on many limbs belonging to Desolate Beasts to increase its power.

The Tempest Tiger’s fighting spirit was ignited in the face of such a strong foe.

Purple lightning crackled across its ten-thousand-meter-long body as it pounced at the Origin of Mutation. The Origin of Mutation also used its skills and powerful limbs to attack the Tempest Tiger in the air.

Destructive energy exploded from their clash, devastating the terrain around them. When the two showed equal strength in the first bout, the Tempest Tiger grew serious.

Han Wu nervously glanced at the battle between the pair, wanting to join the fray but holding himself back.

This wasn’t a matter of keeping a fair fight, but a strategic play at allowing the Origin of Mutation to exhaust as much of the Tempest Tiger’s energy as possible.

That way, even if the Origin of Mutation lost, Han Wu could send over his Earthsunder life forms to take over. He wasn’t about to let go of even a sliver of chance at obtaining victory.

The four Great Dragons under his command didn’t fight with the summoned Desolate Beasts either, instead staring at the battle between the Tempest Tiger and the Origin of Mutation with hunger.

If not for Han Wu’s order to preserve their stamina, the four would’ve charged into battle long ago. At the very least, they longed to use their dragon breath to teach the Tempest Tiger a lesson for occupying the exit and blocking Han Wu from using it.

It was a battle on two fronts, but it didn’t take long for one to end.

Han Wu’s army had secured the final victory against the thousands of summoned Desolate Beasts.

The Origin of Mutation, slightly weaker in its fight against the Tempest Tiger, ended up with half its body destroyed by the latter’s Tiger Roar Cannon. Fortunately, Han Wu had ordered his Earthsunder life forms to protect it, or it would’ve been devoured.

The Tempest Tiger, on the other hand, had not expected eleven Earthsunder life forms to gang up on it just after it defeated the patchwork monster. The scale was finally equal.

Prowling elegantly, it eyed the Earthsunder life forms with the taunting gaze of a predator.

“Kill him!” Han Wu cried.

All eleven Earthsunder life forms charged forward.

The four Great Dragons unleashed their devastating dragon breath together. The War Angel grabbed her sword and enchanted the others with light, fire, and lightning attributes to aid in their battle. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Flame Demon King Karot summoned a blazing lake of lava to turn the entire area into a scalding wasteland.

The strength of Jing Jing’s Ignis Colossus was greatly boosted on the scalding grounds. Gathering its strength, it rained heavy fists onto the Tempest Tiger.

Two other Earthsunder skeletons grabbed the Tempest Tiger from both sides to prevent it from moving.

Steely and Dark Locust, the two strongest of the Earthsunder life forms, waited for the opportune moment to use their most powerful skills.

Even surrounded by 11 Earthsunder life forms, the Tempest Tiger had ways of equalizing the playing field. First, it used the White Tiger’s Suppression to reduce the Great Dragons’ intimidation, then consecutive Tiger Roar Cannons to blast away the weaker ones.

The burning ground beneath its feet felt like mere lukewarm water to it and was easy for it to ignore. It danced around the battlefield, launching devastating attacks.

Of the 11 Earthsunder life forms, six were defeated and taken out of action for the time being. The remainder were also injured.

While the Tempest Tiger was busy dealing with the other Earthsunder life forms, Dark Locust seized the opportunity to meld with the darkness and stealthily approach.

It waited until the Tempest Tiger opened its mouth to use its Tiger Roar Cannon before diving in, using Self Detonate from within its stomach.

The powerful explosion ruptured its abdomen. Blood and flesh splattered across the ground. It had been dealt a grievous wound, but that wasn’t enough to kill it.

The Tempest Tiger was part of the Will of the Desolate Civilization, meaning all its parameters had been dialed up to eleven. Even with its abdomen ruptured, it could still absorb the surrounding Lightning Energy to recover.

The remaining Earthsunder life forms didn’t have enough strength to use their powerful attacks anymore. If this continued, the Tempest Tiger would recover and defeat them all. Han Wu and the others would then be wiped out soon after.

Jiang Ming despaired. “Boss, we’re done for. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought you here!”

“Who said we are done for?” Han Wu replied calmly. “I have one last trump card.”

“You still have a trump card?” Jiang Ming asked, confused.

He had assumed that the Origin of Mutation was the trump card, and in a way, it was.

The Origin of Mutation was undoubtedly the strongest of Han Wu’s party at this time. However, if Han Wu were to use Replicate to copy all its powers, he could actually turn out stronger.

He quickly approached the Origin of Mutation and placed his hands on it.

The Origin of Mutation chuckled bitterly. “Vessel, I almost forgot that you could replicate someone else’s strength.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to save its hide for you,” Han Wu assured.

With that, he transformed into a patchwork monster. Hundreds of limbs sprouted from his body.

He had become the second Origin of Mutation.

But unlike the Origin of Mutation, who spent all its time experimenting and theorizing, Han Wu was a warrior and excelled in combat. In other words, he could unleash even deadlier attacks compared to the original.

Han Wu and the Tempest Tiger clashed.

Their battle leveled the terrain. Though the Tempest Tiger was stronger than Han Wu, it had also exhausted most of its strength over this lengthy battle against many foes. Han Wu, on the other hand, was fresh on the field.

Their battle went on for half a day.

In the end, Han Wu crawled out from the rubble of the destroyed terrain, the Tempest Tiger’s severed head in hand.
