Odin was enraged. The golden light in his eyes grew brighter, and his thunderous roar echoed across the entire scene: "Mortal! How dare you insult a God? Today, I grant you death."
"Buddy, are you an NPC? You only have these two lines," Zeke continued to provoke Odin from the side.
"Arise."
Shadow spread from Ian, surging toward the corpse of the divine horse. Black flames enveloped it, and a gigantic figure stood up from the remains.
Eight hooves were wreathed in eerie blue fire, the mane was like burning blue inferno, and its eyes shone with a blue-gold light. Overall, it was even slightly more handsome than the original.
Ian leaped and landed steadily on the back of the Shadow Divine Horse.
The black flames automatically condensed into reins, which he held in his hands.
Odin's eyes were wide with fury, his face contorted in shock and outrage.
'Isn't this a form of NTR?'
Odin raised Gungnir and charged directly at Ian, but he was knocked back by the Shadow Moon Lord again, violently slamming onto the elevated road once more.
Odin quickly bounced up and charged forward again. The two began to fight in the rainy night.
The Shadow Moon Lord did not fire lasers, as the Monarch seemed to favor a fist-to-fist combat style.
Every strike from the Shadow Moon Lord carried immense power, shattering the elevated road continuously.
Odin, while attacking with Gungnir, manipulated the surrounding rain to aid his battle and accelerated his own time flow rate, barely managing to fight the Moon Lord to a draw.
(Moon Lord exhibition match)
Chu Zihang looked out the car window at the battlefield but found he couldn't see Odin's figure at all. He could only see marks of slashing constantly appearing on the Shadow Moon Lord's body, while the humanoid craters on the ground grew in number.
Seeing that he couldn't deal with the Moon Lord, and thinking of the other humans watching him like tigers nearby, Odin decided to call for help.
He had already secretly summoned Dragon Servants, who finally arrived.
Several roars sounded, and then several giant Dragons burst out of the water beneath the bridge, flying straight toward Ian and the others. Odin intended to strike the leader first, planning to eliminate Ian.
Looking at the charging Dragons, Ian did not dodge. He simply said in a low voice:
"Arise."
Shadow rose from his feet and spread out again, quickly covering the surrounding area.
Then, amidst the rolling black flames, several Shadow Dragons stood up.
Their forms were larger than the Dragon Servants, and different elemental powers—lightning, frost, fire, and ender—were wrapped around their bodies.
The Shadow Dragons and Odin's Dragon Servants then clashed in mid-air. Elements and dragon roars intertwined, illuminating the gloomy, rainy night.
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable and realizing victory was hard to achieve, Odin immediately decided to flee.
He suddenly burst forth with his full power, conjuring a large curtain of water to block the Moon Lord's vision, then turned and sprinted away at full speed.
Strangely, the Shadow Moon Lord did not pursue him, merely standing in place and watching him escape.
Although Odin was confused, he didn't stop, continuing his escape.
Just as he was about to flee from sight, Ian's voice suddenly reached his ear: "Susanoo."
Before the word fell, the surrounding darkness twisted, and twenty-four Shadow Giants slowly emerged from the darkness. Including the previous one, a total of twenty-five Shadow Moon Lords surrounded Odin, sealing off all his escape routes.
Twenty-five Shadow Moon Lords—Ian had specifically farmed them after gaining the ability. He had farmed quite a few other bosses as well.
Odin's face darkened. After a moment, he began to plead.
"Let me go, I..." Before he could finish, his body suddenly began to melt. Then, as if realizing something, he started screaming frantic pleas.
"No! No! Don't abandon me!" His mournful cries echoed in the rainy night, slowly fading away.
Just as everyone was watching his melting corpse, a streak of light suddenly shot from the horizon, aimed directly at Ian. Objects in its path were pierced through, unable to stop it in the slightest.
It turned out that the Odin who had been fighting all along was merely a puppet. Now, the real Odin had made his move, immediately using a killing blow to launch a surprise attack and eliminate Ian.
Gungnir, the Spear of Eternity, the spear that never misses—once thrown, it was guaranteed to hit its target.
The Shadow Moon Lord sensed an attack flying towards Ian and quickly moved to block it, but all attempts were pierced through. Even the Shadow Divine Horse was shot straight through.
The Spear of Eternity penetrated everything blocking Ian, heading straight for his chest.
But the result was unexpected for Odin: the Spear of Eternity stopped instantly upon contact with Ian's skin, then let out mournful wails, and finally smashed directly into fragments, scattering against Ian's body.
"Who, who threw this garbage?"
"How childish!"
Odin stood there, petrified, staring at the shattered Gungnir. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Ian suddenly looked towards the distant Odin.
"You threw that garbage just now, right? Look, you got me all dusty; my new clothes are dirty." He brushed his trench coat, his face full of distaste.
"H-how is that possible? My Gungnir!" Odin stood in the distance, his hands slightly trembling, unable to accept what he was seeing.
"Oh? So that garbage just now was the Spear of Eternity."
"Since you sent me a Spear of Eternity, I'll send you one too."
Ian then pulled out a Spear of Eternity (Terraria version) from the Transmutation Tablet.
"Zeke, take them and retreat first."
Zeke understood immediately. He grabbed the Maybach and whispered to Chu, "Hold tight! We're taking off!"
Odin sensed the danger and quickly turned to flee, but it was already too late.
Ian didn't use any ability. He simply threw the Spear of Eternity like a regular javelin, swinging his arm back in a circle and launching it.
The moment the spear left his hand, a deafening explosion sounded, and a massive sonic boom cloud erupted from Ian's hand.
The surrounding air was instantly blasted into a vacuum, followed by a terrifying gust of wind.
The Shadow Divine Horse was also pushed back tens of meters by the shockwave.
The Spear of Eternity turned into a streak of light, flying toward Odin at an uncatchable speed.
A vacuum channel was left behind the spear. The rain along its path was instantly shattered, evaporated, and disappeared.
"What?" Odin saw the Spear of Eternity flying toward him. With no time to react, he could only manage to avoid a vital spot in haste.
The next moment, the Spear of Eternity struck Odin's chest, passing straight through. Its momentum unchecked, it continued flying toward the horizon, eventually vanishing from sight.
As it disappeared, the air finally reacted, rushing wildly into the vacuum.
The hurricane Ian generated with his arm swing then reached them. This gale pulverized everything in its path. The road surface was torn apart, guardrails were swept away, and the river beneath the bridge was momentarily cut off by the wind.
Odin was pushed backward by the blast wave. He looked down at his chest, where a massive void had appeared. His upper and lower body were now connected only by some flesh and skin, and a large amount of blood was pouring out.
"Th-this... impossible..." Odin's voice was filled with shock.
"I... am a God."
"A God?"
"A weak God!"
The Maybach, though already far from the center of the blast, still vibrated from the shockwave. Fortunately, Zeke held it on his shoulder, or it would have been flipped away.
The Maybach's horn let out two frightened beeps.
Chu Tianjiao was dumbfounded by the sight before him.
"Th-what kind of power is this? That is absolutely not a Word of Power!"
"He must be a resurrected Dragon King. Is he the King of Earth and Mountain?"
