The three-headed monster was indeed a powerhouse that was as strong as a Medium Ranking deity. It had the upper hand in its battle with the dragon from the very start.

The giant golden dragon had intended to follow Gu Ding’s will and was going to pound the ground until the whole domain collapsed. However, before it could deliver a third blow, the three-headed monster leaped up to it and struck it with an enormous force. It had struck wildly with its six greyish-green fists. Strange magic energy could be found in the three-headed monster’s fist energy.

The dragon had no choice but to take up the fight. It was no smaller than the giant. Hence, instead of slamming its huge tail on the ground, it directed it straight at the three-headed monster’s fists. As the dragon struck with its giant tail, sharp blade energy shot out from it. It was similar to that of the blade of the giant ax. Additionally, it had magic power since it had become a dragon.

The three-headed monster’s fist energy collided with the dragon’s blade energy. The impact of the two energies of different colors tore the space in Potie’s domain apart. A space gap tens of meters long was left, and it looked very frightening. Not only that, but the impact created a ripple of energy that flowed throughout the domain like a gust of wind. The gust of wind blew the remaining 50 or so demigod dummies away.

Lilliath and the rest were also affected by the impact of the collision as they struggled to hold on to their footing; Elsa even held on to Gu Ding. As for Potie, who was far away, she was relying on Gu Ding to keep her safe from being blown away.

After the blow, the two monsters were unfazed by the space gap and instead went for each other wildly once again.

Nevertheless, the three-headed monster had six hands and three heads, while the dragon had only one tail and one head. Added to the fact that the three-headed monster was already powerful from the start. In less than twenty seconds, it gained the upper hand over the dragon while the latter could only hold out against him. The battle between the two monsters caused the ground to tremble.

However, the battle did not last long. The three-headed monster deliberately showed a flaw. When the dragon extended its tail to attack him, it struck with all six of his hands and stopped the dragon’s tail. Then, it clung to the dragon’s tail and madly bit at it with its three giant mouths.

The dragon howled in pain and wrapped itself tightly around the three-headed monster’s neck before biting one of its heads off.

By then, Potie had already fled the scene of their battle and was hiding in a shadowy position. She had chosen to watch the battle from a distance.

The three-headed monster’s bites were so fast that in less than three minutes, the dragon’s entire tail was shattered into pieces. On the other hand, the dragon had bitten off one of the monster’s heads.

The two remaining heads of the three-headed monster suddenly became violent as they turned around to bite at the dragon’s head. At the same time, it clenched its six hands into fists and began to pound at the dragon frantically.

His method of attack was proven extremely effective. Within five minutes, the dragon that had been summoned by Gu Ding was broken into two by the three-headed monster’s barrage of powerful punches. Additionally, its head had been thoroughly chewed up by the three-headed monster. As a result, its entire body finally disintegrated into energy fragments before it returned to its original ax form.

The dragon did not manage to fulfill its mission after all…

Gu Ding’s body underwent changes while the dragon battled with the three-headed monster. However, the only one who noticed this was Neptune…

The dragon’s defeat left Lilliath and Elsa almost in despair. The three-headed monster might have suffered serious injuries, but it was still not something the both of them could handle.

Elsa could barely deal with demigods and could only defend against them. On the other hand, Lilliath was just a gunner and was only a Rank-10 Gene Body. Her defense capabilities were even weaker than Elsa. Even a single blow from a demigod would be fatal to her. Neither of them could take a single blow from a real deity, let alone one that nearly killed Biggie in one shot.

When Gu Ding’s brain stopped functioning completely, a black energy slowly dispersed out of his body. Its color was so faint that it was hard to see under the cover of the night. However, the black energy, like twisted tentacles, kept coming out of Gu Ding as it sucked the residue of energy fragments in the air.

Elsa and Lilliath did not notice this because their attention had been drawn to the battle between the dragon and the three-headed monster. They were so preoccupied with the dragon’s defeat that they did not notice the change in Gu Ding.

The myriads of tentacles that appeared grew in strength and began to form a shape above Gu Ding’s head.

The shape it formed was the face of a black demon. Neptune shuddered at the sight of it. He had always suspected something like the black virus to be lurking inside Gu Ding. Evidently, the black virus appeared each time without warning and always devoured any kind of energy presented in front of it before it gave Gu Ding’s body some of its energy back.

At the sight of the demon face, Neptune looked up all data related to it in his Databank, wanting to figure out what it was exactly. Nevertheless, he failed to find any relevant data. There were only two possibilities. One was that no such thing had ever existed since the Ancient Age; Another possibility was that information related to it was not available due to his access restrictions. Neptune’s Databank had unlocked all the way until the advanced level, and he could access most information about extreme deities. Hence, since that was the case, it meant that there was a chance the thing hiding within Gu Ding was something beyond the deities… Neptune was afraid to think any further.

In the void, the huge demon face that was nearly a thousand meters high silently coalesced into shape quickly.

When the battle between the three-headed giant and the dragon had ended, the huge demon face, which had been in a state of semi-nothingness, quickly solidified.

Lilliath caught a glimpse of the face above Gu Ding’s head. “What’s that?” she exclaimed in surprise.

Elsa immediately looked up and saw the terrifying demon face. She could not help but pull Lilliath behind her as she stood in front of her.

“Don’t panic, something’s changing within Gu Ding. However, it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing at the moment.” Neptune was not quite sure whether the matter was a good or bad thing. Nevertheless, he had to say such words to comfort Lilliath and Elsa.

The three-headed monster and Potie, who were in the distance, finally noticed the existence of the demon face.

A vague feeling of uneasiness crept into Potie’s heart. She leaped onto the shoulder of the three-headed monster, pointed toward Gu Ding’s position, and said, “Kill that black shadow!”

However, the three-headed monster only stared at the demon face and did not move. Instead, its body began to tremble violently.

It was clear to Potie that the three-headed monster was beginning to resist her orders. That was the force of the contract. She could feel the three-headed monster’s emotions because of the contract. It was an extreme sense of fear which exceeded even the restraints of her contract with it. He would obviously rather be wiped out than strike the demon face that was above Gu Ding’s head.

This alarmed Potie. “What the hell is that demon face?”

Just as she began to have an idea of what it was, she saw the black demon face finally finish solidifying and breathe a black breath out of its mouth in front of her.

The breath condensed into a black ball in the void, and then, without warning, stretched out toward the remaining demigod corpse dummies and the three-headed monster with tentacles.

Seeing this, Potie quickly jumped off the shoulder of the three-headed monster and instantly opened the exit of her domain, trying to escape. However, she was a step too late. Half her foot was outside her domain while her other foot had been caught by a black silk thread. She was yanked backward.

Then, the black silk thread wrapped around her and turned her into a black cocoon.

Just then, the corpse dummies were also wrapped around by the black tentacles, turning into black cocoons.

The three-headed monster, who had been extremely arrogant, simply stood still as its body trembled violently. It let the black tentacles wrap around its body and eventually lock itself in a huge black cocoon. It did not resist from the start.

The scene made Lilliath and the others’ hearts race. Originally, Neptune had been worried that the current Gu Ding would attack Lilliath and the rest indiscriminately. In that case, he would have no choice but to watch Gu Ding kill his crew members without being able to do anything about it. That was because the black demon face was so powerful that it exceeded his own recognition. Evidently, Neptune was now relieved.

Lilliath and the rest clearly saw the black cocoons shrink at a visible speed. After several cocoons had shrunk to the size of peas, they flew back into the black ball in the void.

Slowly, all the cocoons began flying back to the void after each of them had shrunk to a certain extent.

The smallest of them was about the size of a pea, while the largest of them was the one wrapped around Potie which was about the size of a thumb.

After the black energy ball that belonged to Potie had returned to the black ball in the void, the whole domain began to collapse slowly.

As for the three-headed monster’s cocoon, it had shrunk to the size of an adult’s fist in under three minutes and had itself returned to the black sphere in the void. That was when Lilliath and the rest noticed that the black sphere seemed to have grown considerably.

Nevertheless, the black sphere seemed to have a life of its own. After fusing with the last cocoon, it quickly shot itself back into the mouth of the demon face.

At the same time, Potie’s personal domain collapsed.

The huge demon face opened its mouth wide and sucked fragments from the domain into it before it slowly faded away.

Right when the demon face was about to disappear completely, on a distant planet, an old man in a black robe suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. There was a red demon logo on his chest. “The three-headed monster is dead… Potie, no matter who the murderer is, dad will avenge you!!!”
