Platinum looked at the weapons in everyone else's hands, then at the bow and arrow in her own, and reluctantly ran behind Goki, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Got it, hold on tight!"
Never pondering the reason behind Goki's commands, the moment she understood his instruction, Skadi's greatblade had already sliced through the last chain binding the god, like cutting tofu, simultaneously pulling Nightingale close into her embrace.
"I—I'm seeing the light of day again, Knight King!"
The final chain snapped instantly, and Collins also roared with excitement.
Accompanied by the Star God's roar, the entire dark underground tomb's surroundings were instantly replaced by the vast and boundless starry sky.
And the immense pulling force the god couldn't retract directly threw the group at the end of the chain flying towards the top platform.
Meanwhile, the Unification Sect's bishop, the director of Allens Choice, a Great Master who had been stained with countless blood for hundreds of years, only saw a few figures flying towards him under the starry sky.
"I said, it's not you who will see the light of day again!"
Clang—thud.
In mid-air, Goki drew his right hand back like a bowstring, completing the Pile Bunker's ultra-long full charge process.
Then—
Snap—boom!
The silver metal pile broke free of its restraints, shooting towards Collins with a completely different attack method than in the game—this was the Maria special edition Pile Bunker! A one-time use!
Pfft—bang!
Without giving the enemy any time to react, the metal spike plunged directly into Collins's neck, like a large-caliber cannon, instantly blasting him into two pieces—there was no more cavity effect!
Splat—
Then, Goki crouched down, accompanied by a series of bone-snapping sounds and his feet instantly crushed into a pulp, landing steadily with Platinum on his back—this power was simply too immense; Goki could only use his legs as brake pads.
After being split in two, Collins's head was caught by a tentacle, and countless nerves and blood vessels began to gush from the explosive cross-section, linking with the Star God and rapidly regenerating.
Although the intense pain twisted his features, he still looked at Goki, whose legs were completely broken, and let out a loud laugh.
"See, your legs are gone, but I'm still alive. Is it worth it? Mr. Goki, I told you, I am a god—even the Knight King could only Seal me, what can you do?!"
"Hey, wait—your feet! Shining, Nightingale!"
And seeing Goki's spattering legs, Platinum's brown eyes instantly narrowed into tiny dots. Disregarding the surrounding danger, she jumped directly off Goki's back and frantically turned to call out to the two healers.
"Alright, alright, no need to trouble them—I can do much more."
However, before she could walk far, Goki reached out his large hand and took her small, soft hand.
Watching Shining slowly land by means of a force field, and Skadi, who descended like a fierce woman, enduring the impact directly and piercing the silver platform, Goki plunged three needles directly into his thigh.
Dark, crimson, mixed blood was directly injected into Goki's arteries—at this moment, he no longer cared if Kal'tsit's blood pressure would rise!
The next second, Goki's flesh began to regenerate at high speed, and his bones automatically reconnected—this high-speed regeneration surpassed that of the Seaborn, and even surpassed Collins before him.
A few seconds later, Goki stood up perfectly. Although his shoes had disappeared, his feet and legs had grown back—humans couldn't regenerate so quickly, but Goki was never a pure human.
"Look, little Platinum, you know very little about me, just as ignorant as Mr. Collins—but you're different from him. I don't mind if you try to get to know me better later, hiss... ouch, ouch, it just grew back, it's very sensitive, okay!"
Winking at Platinum, Goki showed a mischievous smile, then was immediately met with a roll of her eyes and a stomp on his newly grown foot—wasting her feelings!
"And you... Collins, do you still not understand what you are? The will of a god? The rationality of a god? Please—a Great One is a Great One. They are ever-changing, but being divine, they cannot be divided."
Finally, Goki looked at Collins's head, pointing him to one side, where the lower half of his body was gradually being absorbed and devoured by the tentacles breaking through the platform—his butt was gone, old man.
"Great Ones have transcended spirit and matter, consciousness and body are one. Where is the talk of reason—it's just that they are all very good at deceiving people."
Watching the tentacles spread across Collins's face, Goki shrugged—no one understood these cunning gods better than him. The first time he saw Collins, Goki knew that he was just a deceived and exploited believer.
The Star God was a madman; there was no separation of consciousness. The starry sky and madness were the divine essence he symbolized.
Compared to these gods full of evil intentions, doing inhuman things, and deceiving people even when mad, the God of Burning Wind was practically a breath of fresh air.
"What, impossible! You lowly mongrel! You foolish Mortal! How dare you claim to understand the supreme existence, you are nothing but a—"
His head was gradually swallowed by the spreading tendrils. Countless surrounding believers, after the Star God was unsealed, also began to willingly merge with their "savior." Only Collins, who believed he had used everyone, did not believe his own fate.
"Look, you are the least devout among them—no one can claim to be a god, not even I."
Goki watched the tentacles constantly breaking through the silver platform, knowing that time could not be wasted. He reloaded his repeating pistol, intending to directly kill Collins—although he was just a deluded Mortal, he was still the Unification Sect's bishop. If absorbed, he would only make the Star God stronger.
"Alright, good night, you son of a bitch—"
However, just as Goki was about to attack, a dark long arrow, wrapped in azure electric light, shot directly into Collins's head, completely charring him.
"You should pay me well, instead of trying to double-cross me—Armorless Union hates dishonest collaborators the most."
Goki looked at his side with some surprise, only to see Platinum twitch her small ears and stick out her tongue at him.
"Alright, Goki, how do you plan to deal with this big monster beneath us? I don't want to die with a pervert like you. If someone finds our fossils together in the future and mistakes us for lovers, that would be terrible."
The restraints were completely ineffective. The Star God beneath their feet began to absorb all the believers, and the spreading tentacles started to extend outwards into the starry sky-transformed underground tomb. Only the platform beneath their feet could barely resist the attack of countless tentacles.
But standing beside Goki, Platinum was no longer afraid. She felt that the man in front of her... always had the upper hand.
"Knight King!!! Your kingdom, I will destroy! Your believers, I will devour!"
Accompanied by a frantic roar, the soft tentacles hardened and began to tear open the ground above their heads like drills, appearing as if they were tearing apart the starry sky.
Undoubtedly, above them was the Four-City Alliance with millions of tourists and residents.
"Look, this guy has already told us the way to clear the stage himself."
Goki looked behind him, at the two worried Sarkaz girls leaning towards him, and at Skadi, who had already chopped through the surrounding tentacles once and was in high spirits, pointing behind him.
There, the Knight King still maintained her posture of stabbing downwards with her sword, standing silently, maintaining the last faint light screen.
And that longsword in her hand, Goki was all too familiar with it.
"It's time for a showdown, an old friend I've never met."
