With a huge roar, Negary swiped across with his dragon claws.

The headless Nala vigorously drew away from Negary’s attack and retaliated with a swing of her sword. A huge wound was inflicted on the body of the Dragon of Eternal Sin, but the deformed body filled with error simply grew back and quickly healed itself.

According to Seal’e’s foresight, Nala who had gathered the authority of the three Gods, would be equivalent to the Dazzled, the Chopped Hand as well as the Cut Tongue of Hales.

The Dazzled and Chopped Hand were killed by Negary, but their qualities were recovered by the Black Abyss, so when they combined with Seal’e’s power as the Cut Tongue, the ‘unspeakable’ power of destiny, allowed for the creation of the ‘unreasonable’, the Decapitated Nala in this future.

Nala who originally gathered the authority of the 3 Gods had the ability to control everything within the Flame World. But in this future, Nala, who had become the Decapitated, controlled the unreasonable power of the Black Abyss.

Although she lost the ability to control everything in the Flame World, her attacks had become more bizarre and tougher to resist.

“Ah shit, our Jeanne d’Arc first turned into a senior sister, then became blackened and is back to kill us” Jack the Killer continued to spout his nonsense as he drew a small dagger and charged at Nala. He was then hit by something unknown, tumbled backwards on the spot and fell to the ground. He then silently rubbed blood all over this face, stuck out his tongue and played dead.

Negary was the one who endured most of Nala’s attacks. Although his Dragon of Eternal Sin body had powerful regenerative capabilities, it gradually became unable to regenerate anymore. With each of her bizarre attacks, Nala left a bit of the Black Abyss’ power within his wounds.

The unique trait of that power was completely beyond Negary’s understanding, regardless of what he tried, he was still unable to expel it from himself. If this was left to go on, more and more Black Abyss power would accumulate inside his body until he was thoroughly infected by the Black Abyss and became a part of it.

Negary roared again, this time unleashing a gust of scorching flames from his mouth, but an incomprehensible power surged forward from Nala’s body, cancelling out the flames while Nala’s sword struck Negary’s body again through the flames, leaving another bit of Black Abyss power in his body.

Gradually, Negary felt that the power of the Black Abyss was no longer as difficult to understand as before, but this was also the most terrifying thing. This meant that the Black Abyss was constantly assimilating him and distorting his perception. Once he fully comprehended the Black Abyss, it would mean that Negary had been completely assimilated by it and became a part of it.

Other than Noah who was using his Spirit Shaman abilities that could carry out a certain amount of harassment from a distance, the others couldn’t even endure 2 hits from Nala.

? Seems like I’ll have to use another trump card ?Negary moved his dragon body and swung his huge tail forward. The burning tail of tentacles managed to push Nala back briefly, the dragon then stood upright, the three layers of fangs on its back opened wide, spitting the blob of flesh in the center out. The flesh slowly peeled off layer by layer to reveal the thing hidden inside.

It was a severed head.

Even as the owner of the head was wrapped inside the blob of flesh, he still exuded a sense of extraordinary majesty that incited the impulse to pledge one’s allegiance to him.

As the eyes of the head opened, his incomprehensible gaze displayed his dignity as a king, despite his current embarrassing predicament.

“Negary, you are really...shameless” with a brief glance at his surroundings and the information that Negary was sending to him via their mental connection, Eldridge quickly understood what was going on.

In the ruins of the Last God, Negary decapitated Eldridge, but he did not kill him. Instead, he ripped open his own chest and put his head inside, using virus manipulation to change the inner structures of his body and provided life support for Eldridge up until this moment.

While he was still alive, regardless of how great Eldridge was, he is still only a human. Even if his subjects supported him with all their hearts, the majority of them would not consider him to be their lifelong belief.

But this was different in his death. The living simply could not compete against the dead in a few aspects, and since Eldridge had already lost his life, the aristocrats of Royas did not mind deifying him, especially at the advent of the Black Abyss.

The influence of the Black Abyss had caused people with the Black Abyss trait to mutate and turn into mud monsters, the world itself had turned foreign, so it was natural for the people to cling to some sort of belief at such a time in order to inspire their own confidence.

The newly deceased King Eldridge was a perfect target for such belief, and especially so since Negary had secretly dispatched personnel to slightly modify and spread the tale of the Last God.

If one went to the current Royas Kingdom, they would find that Eldridge’s reputation had reached a status similar to that of a God. Everyone was reciting Eldridge’s name, hailing him as the Guardian God of Royas while singing praise of his marvellous feats.

After Eldridge understood the situation, he used the power of the Last God and tried his best to establish contact with his believers. Even though he was beheaded by Negary, he currently had no choice but to help Negary.

As he said, he was the king, and held the responsibility of the king. If the flame was extinguished, the Royas Kingdom would also not escape destruction.

After Eldridge appeared, the headless girl began to focus her attacks on Eldridge’s head.

After all, this was only a false future created through Granny Seal’e’s destiny cover. Since the people here were deeply caught within this destiny, it was tough for them to break through it, making the Decapitated within this destiny essentially unbeatable.

But once Eldridge used the power of the Last God to establish a connection with the large number of Royas citizens who regarded him as a God, their individually weak destinies would combine to form a large variable, thus forcing destiny to deviate from Granny Seal’e’s control.

The more this destiny deviated, the more fragile this false future would become, and the weaker the Decapitated would be.

If possible, Negary would naturally want to keep Eldridge inside his chest to protect this key that would break through this situation. But the very strength of the Dragon of Eternal Sin form made this impossible. The error attribute of the Dragon of Eternal Sin would interfere with Eldridge’s power if he were to do that.

? Then, let’s fight with all our strength ?Negary flapped the fleshy dragon wings behind his back to kick up an intense gust of wind. The tentacles at the end of his tail madly extended and stabbed into the bodies of the useless spectators in this place.

The Dragonmen; Ghostmen; Crowmen; the assassins of Sacred Valley; Nala’s knight followers; Negary’s Righteous, Noah; even Jack the Killer who was playing dead was pierced through by Negary’s tail-end tentacles and became his nutrients.

“Well then, it seems I’ll need to leave the field for a while” Jack the Killer blew raspberries before his body melted and was fully absorbed by Negary.

Negary, who had now grown several times larger, roared and soared towards the headless girl. Several hundred strains of different germs and viruses derived from the [Progenitor] germs also spread all over the battlefield.

The bizarre power of the Black Abyss overflowed from the headless girl’s body, facing Negary’s attack, she didn’t choose to retreat and instead charged forward with her sword in hand.
