Chapter 1048: Even Gods Bleed - Part 4

Tang Shaoyang watched the explosion fill the sky. He noticed there were only two lightning came for the two God Ranks, and Windra took them by himself. He sensed the great shock wave on his face, and deep inside, he was surprised to see this. It had never liked this before; this was the first time lightning exploded.         

    

'Does not really matter. I will die here.' Tang Shaoyang assumed the lightning should not be an issue for the transformed God Rank. He tried to accept his fate of dying in Gungnir's hands as he was not in a position to fight back.     

However, the image of his empire destroyed and his women captured by the Divine Church resurfaced in his head.     

'NO! I can't die here! I don't want to die here! I have to protect them all! I haven't seen my firstborn! I don't want to die here.' He struggled, but he was helpless against Gungnir.     

'What option do I have?' Tang Shaoyang did not want to give up. His mind swirled, thinking of a way to get out of the current situation. He thought of integration with Zowen, fighting the lightning with the Lightning Grand Magus. However, he threw the idea off his head. Even the Angel of Death and his Grand Dragon Transformation were not enough to resist the lightning, so he did not think Grade S Spirit would matter.     

His mind spun, not caring what happened in the sky. Tang Shaoyang thought of using [True Dragon], transforming into a true dragon. But then, there was no way Gungnir would let him transform. He would be killed before he could fully transform.     

'I need something that can't be detected but also makes me stronger. Spirit…. Spirit Integration? Zara is the strongest spirit I have right now. Unless I recall Avyn and change the integration with her? Will Gungnir give me the time to finish the integration?'     

Gungnir would notice he canceled his integration once the angel wings disappeared. Gungnir would not let him finish the next integration.     

'What if I use the integration without canceling the first integration? Two-spirit integration? Could it work?'     

Tang Shaoyang got a crazy idea at a desperate moment. He never tried to integrate with two spirits at once. He never thought that far; at least, there was no situation that forced him to think about integrating with two spirits until now.     

'It's a do or dies. The consequence does not really matter.' With the new determination to fight for his survival, he recalled Avyn. He thought of leaving Avyn to protect his people in the Starter City. That was the reason he left her behind, but Gungnir made him realize that his people were not safe yet, even if he lured the three God Ranks with him. They still came back for them, and he would not let that happen.     

[Where are you? I have been looking for you!]     

Avyn's panicky voice filled his head as soon as Tang Shaoyang recalled the last Kankara'Xeo. However, it was not the time to explain everything to her.     

'We don't have time for a conversation, but I will use Spirit Integration with you. You are my last chance to survive.'     

[Are you stupid? You will destroy your body if you try to integrate with me! Just summon me back and let me fight them with you!]     

'It does not matter if I have destroyed my body. At least, I want to take one of them down with me. Even if I summon you, it will be you against those two God Ranks. Let's do it!'     

*** ***     

Gungnir froze, seeing his friend fall from the sky. The Divine Lightning taking down his friend never crossed his mind. The first thing that came into his mind was to leave Tang Shaoyang and check out his friend. His figure zapped into lightning and caught Windra in the air.     

The six pairs of angelic wings were burnt crisp, the skins charred while his mouth was still blowing smoke, and his eyes were half-open. It was much worse than Gungnir thought.     

As soon as they landed on the ground, he took out the potion from his inventory and fed it to Windra. Windra regained consciousness after drinking the potion, but his body was just beyond repair. The Divine Lightning had the same attribute as the Slayer Energy, preventing the potion from healing most of the injuries. The potion revitalized him a little bit, helping Windra to regain his consciousness.     

The moment his eyes fully opened, Windra grabbed Gungnir's arm tightly. "Kill…. Him…. NOW!!!"     

As soon as Windra warned Gungnir, a giant shadow loomed over them. Gungnir turned around while Windra looked past Gungnir. Seventy meters tall Black Dragon stood not far from them.     

As soon as Tang Shaoyang regained his freedom from Gungnir, he used [True Dragon]. It pushed his stats to mid-stars of the Demi God Rank, strengthening further than before. "This body should be strong enough for an integration with you, no, Avyn?"     

He did not wait for Avyn to respond to him as he tried the second integration without canceling his integration with Zara. Another pair of grayish-blue dragon wings popped out on his back. With the new additional pair, he had eight pairs of wings on his back, making him look weird for a dragon. Of course, the surprise was not the additional wing but his attributes. His attributes broke into the lowest stat for the God Ranks, one star God Rank for each attribute.     

"I think I have a chance now…." Tang Shaoyang gazed down at Gungnir, who embraced the wounded Windra.     

"What damnation monster is that?" Gungnir was surprised to see the creature in front of him. The scale pattern was a mess, black and white. The Dragon's feet were releasing a cold aura, freezing everything around the dragon. He could even sense the coldness from where he was.         

    

"Leave me! Kill…. Him! We don't have time!" Windra breathed heavily. "You can't sustain the next Divine Lightning!"     

Tang Shaoyang's eyes focused on the injured Windra, and there was no need for him to think twice about launching his attack. He did not know if his current was enough to kill Gungnir, but it should be enough to end Windra. He determined that if he died here, he wanted to bring one of them with him.     

Tang Shaoyang opened his mouth as the frost, black fire, and Void Energy gathered in his mouth. He added Slayer energy into the mix and shot toward Windra.     

A chunk of forest disappeared into the void, another big chunk was frozen in black ice, and another big chunk was burnt by the black fire. The dragon's breath, with four mixed energies, devastated the forest. Amidst all the chaos, Gungnir stayed still, blocking the dragon's breath with his lightning domain. It was not that he did not want to dodge, but there was no place to dodge, and he had to protect Windra as well from Tang Shaoyang.     

Of course, Gungnir paid the price for trying to block the dragon's breath. Blood flowed out his nose and ears. He blocked the fire and the ice, but the void and the Slayer Energy got into him.     

"Let him kill…. Me…." Windra tried to persuade Gungnir. "You can't…. Leave him alive…. He must be killed….!"     

Gungnir let out a chuckle and smiled as he turned around. "Don't worry, my friend. I will kill him, and I will also not let you die under my watch."     

After saying that, Gungnir's figure zapped toward the enormous dragon. He tried to move all the lightning in his domain with him.     

Tang Shaoyang stomped his right foot on the ground, and the shock wave of Void Energy spread out. The lightning that tried to reach him disappeared into the void, and he followed with another dragon breath. However, he aimed the breath toward Windra instead of Gungnir, who was right before him. He did not care if he received the attack directly from Gungnir, but he just wanted to take down one God Rank.     

"This motherf*cker!" Gungnir stopped whatever he intended to do and dashed back to his friend. He raised his hand toward the sky, and lightning filled the sky once more. This time it was completely different than before. It was as if the lightning was the sky itself.     

As Tang Shaoyang shot the dragon's breath once, Gungnir pulled down the lightning. Just like a curtain dropped, the lightning completely formed a wall. The scene was similar to a waterfall, but it was lightning poured down instead of the water.     

The dragon's breath met with the lightning. This time, Gungnir succeeded in blocking the breath. He let out a sigh of relief. Deep inside, he was concerned that his lightning might not be enough to face the Slayer Energy and the Void Energy at the same time. He got nervous for a while because he had to face a dragon, but he regained his confidence that his lightning completely blocked the dragon's breath.     

"His lightning is stronger because of his domain, huh? You are not the only one with a domain." Tang Shaoyang activated his fire domain, Realm of Fire.     

The ground shook once more, and the surface cracked as black fire burst out from the ground. The ground that was once filled by lightning and the black fire started to take over. A clash of domains started the black fire and the lightning.     

"Of course, he also has his domain." Gungnir clicked his tongue. "But I don't have time to entertain you anymore. I will end here and right now." He realized that he did not have much time until the next wave of Divine Lightning. After what happened to Lasius and Windra, he might not be able to hold against the Divine Lightning despite his power.     

Gungnir raised his right hand to the sky. It was just like a magnet; he drew all the lightning into his right hand. He focused all the lightning into his right, making his right shine.     

Tang Shaoyang did not know what Gungnir was trying to do, but he could sense the power that Gungnir gathered in his right hand. He could feel the aura that might kill him in that right hand. 'The final blow, hah?'     

He then copied what Gungnir did, pulling the black fire in his domain toward him. At the same time, he opened his mouth, gathering whatever he could in his mouth. Avyn's frost energy, Zara's Void Energy, His Slayer Energy, and The Infernal Wraith, the black fire. The four different energies swirled in his mouth, and for some reason, he was confident to take Gungnir head-on. Instead of attacking the helpless Windra, he decided to face Gungnir.     

Gungnir was the first one to make his move. His figure zapped toward Tang Shaoyang, leaving a lightning trail. In the blink of an eye, Gungnir was already right before Tang Shaoyang. At this moment, Tang Shaoyang released what he had prepared, and Gungnir sent his punch forward, clashing with Tang Shaoyang's breath.
