As the black tide water approached, Gad II, suspended in mid-air, suddenly became dull in expression.
At this moment, despite being a complete mythical creature, He unexpectedly could not control His own emotions. His spirit suddenly fell into chaos, as if even the anchor that stabilized His divinity and humanity had fallen into confusion.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the divine evil Suah's giant tree body began to writhe rapidly, splitting open one bloody mouth after another.
Those mouths suddenly gaped wide, exhaling a breath that generated a cold wind, blowing toward Gad II.
Struck by this cold wind, the mentally confused Gad II suddenly shivered and recovered his thinking ability.
He felt his entire body turn cold, his spirit body becoming heavy, as if in the next second it would separate from his physical form and step into the abyss of death...
Without panic, the silver-white in Gad II's eyes blazed again, and lightning bolts thick as water buckets exploded beside Him. An incomparable electromagnetic storm instantly shattered that cold wind...
Immediately after, Gad II extended his right hand toward the sky and pulled.
Boom!
The dark clouds that shrouded the entire earth suddenly gathered, and a giant spherical lightning dragging silver-white flowing light flew out from the storm.
Silver-white lightning bolts thick as giant serpents extended and raged from this massive lightning ball, dyeing the entire sky silver-white.
"Boom!"
In an instant, this giant lightning ball destructively shattered the viscous black tide water and crashed onto the bizarre tree connecting heaven and earth.
"Hmm, hmm, ahhhhhhh!"
The moment it was struck by the lightning ball, the divine evil Suah—this Rose School angel—almost lost self-control and let out a mad roar.
His giant tree trunk was scorched black and cracked, turning to ash, covered with wound after wound.
In mid-air, Pope Gad II, wrapped in thunder, did not feel satisfaction from his successful attack. Instead, he looked gravely toward the wailing Suah.
He keenly perceived that an indescribable aura was brewing in his opponent's body, as if merely understanding it would allow one to feel endless pain.
Shrill, sharp, terrible baby crying sounds rang out again.
This terrible roaring sound penetrated the storm, penetrated the thunder, echoing precisely and loudly in Gad II's mind.
"Ugh... ah!"
Mental-origin pain, more intense than before, made Gad II cry out in anguish.
He could feel the harmony between body and soul dropping bit by bit, his body gradually becoming a prison for his spirit, making his movements increasingly stiff and heavy.
At the same time, he felt his robes suddenly tighten, binding him firmly as if they had come alive and wanted to strangle him in mid-air.
Beyond the thunder, the surrounding spirituality suddenly changed, becoming layers of unclear barriers, seeking to isolate him from the material world, spirit world, and astral world entirely.
The divine evil Suah let out an angry roar that pierced directly into spirit bodies, instantly controlling this Storm Church Pope.
Even though his opponent could use Sequence 1 abilities and share part of the Storm Lord's authority, it still could not bridge the gap in status level!
"Truly terrible destructive power, worthy of being the pathway most representing material omnipotence..."
Looking at the painfully struggling figure in mid-air, Suah's giant tree—covered in black char and numerous wounds—had its many eyeballs suddenly rotate.
On the giant tree, countless outward-extending branches suddenly retracted, inserting straight into the exaggerated wounds on itself.
In mid-air, Gad II, who had just recovered, irrepressibly screamed. On his body, wounds appeared one after another, and blood flowed freely, dyeing his robes red.
This was the "Alien" pathway Sequence 4 Puppet's extraordinary ability: "Curse Source"!
"Puppets" could not only affect non-living things but could also become mystical puppets, magical paper figures, and other items, cursing targets through various methods via established connections.
This extraordinary ability would undergo qualitative change at Sequence 3. At the current stage, it belonged to the type that would harm oneself when harming enemies. Under normal circumstances, "Puppet" demigods rarely used it.
In other words, "Puppets" harmed enemies by harming themselves.
As an "Alien" pathway angel, the divine evil Suah didn't need any medium to use the Curse Source ability, and could even return all damage received over a past period of time.
His giant tree body shook again, and viscous black liquid that seemed to contain all living beings' desires flowed from the wounds on His body, once again gathering into a mass of black tide water.
Different from before, pale skull heads actually grew in this black tide water, along with blood vessel-obvious eyeballs, tongues with sharp fangs, and various strange-shaped appendages.
An extremely evil, extremely mad feeling rapidly spread, causing the surroundings to instantly crack and dry, making Gad II's consciousness—trapped in pain and chaos—become tainted with madness, briefly unable to make effective responses.
Without hesitation, the divine evil Suah extracted part of the branches from his body, transforming them into bizarre and terrifying withered arms that reached toward the Storm Church Pope in the air.
However, just as the black tide water and withered arms were about to reach Gad II, Suah suddenly saw a seemingly illusory, seemingly real boundless sea shrouded in wild storms and rain, with lightning and thunder never ceasing.
And in this illusory boundless sea, there seemed to be a tall figure composed of lightning, wild wind, and ocean waves...
In an instant, His extended withered arms and the surging black tide water froze in place, as if blocked by some inexplicable force.
He felt inexplicable fear and oppression, like weak mortals facing terrible natural disasters.
Helpless, pitiful, insignificant...
Instantly, thick lightning appeared from nowhere, covering Suah's giant body like sudden rain, making Him scream. In moments, it split his body into pieces.
Without hesitation, the divine evil roared, and behind Him immediately appeared a mummy phantom pierced by countless brown tree branches.
With the appearance of that mummy phantom, Suah finally gained brief respite. His giant body suddenly became illusory and escaped into the spirit world.
With the phantom's appearance and Suah's escape, Gad II finally broke free from his opponent's mental interference.
He spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood and tore apart the robes tightly wrapped around his body, revealing solid, tight muscles.
Looking at the building ruins wrapped in magma and destroyed by giant cracks below his feet, Gad II snorted coldly, waved his hand to close the cracks, and restored the earth to flatness.
Forcibly enduring the pain in his body, He then transformed into a flash of lightning and disappeared.
With Gad II's departure, in the spirit world, Suah's shattered giant tree body suddenly writhed, contracting at extremely fast speed into a thin man's form.
"That is the Storm Lord's power!"
