645: Chapter 697 The owl was just bait!

Previously, Xiao had been constantly counterattacking.

Although the others weren't fighting with their original bodies,

they were still very cautious.

After all, they were controlling An Ke's body.

What if An Ke became displeased because they didn't take care of it?

Players like Ai Li were now centered around An Ke.

As for Old Crocodile, Leopard Mom, and Tiger Mom, they loved and respected An Ke from the bottom of their hearts, so they didn't dare let An Ke's body get injured easily.

But with those words from An Ke, everyone was relieved.

Since he wanted as much as they could get, why the hell should they be afraid?

Instantly, the previously restrained "An Kes" stopped holding back and began to pounce on Xiao frantically.

The eyes beneath Xiao's bones turned cold. He gave a low shout, condensing the world into countless long frost spikes, which then rained down.

Facing the attack pouring down like a rainstorm, the "An Kes" showed no fear on their faces.

They dodged what they could and tanked what they couldn't.

That's right!

Tanking it!

Countless frost spears fell, piercing the bodies of the "An Kes."

Some "An Kes" were turned into ice sculptures immediately upon being struck.

Others quickly "discarded" the parts of their bodies that were hit.

If a shoulder was hit, they "discarded" it without hesitation.

If a thigh was hit, they "discarded" it without hesitation.

For a Sequence 8 demigod, even losing half a body didn't matter much.

As long as they were alive and mobile, they could fight.

Under this suicidal breakthrough,

an "An Ke" with half a head missing finally approached Xiao and opened its mouth wide, ready to take a bite.

However, Xiao's reaction was extremely fast; he immediately raised his hand and grabbed the "An Ke's" half-head.

With a squeeze from his skeletal arm shrouded in darkness, he crushed the head by sheer force.

But the first one had only signaled the start.

More and more "An Kes" broke through and surrounded Xiao, opening their mouths to devour him.

"A bunch of annoying flies!!"

Xiao shouted, a terrifying aura erupting from his body.

The aura first compressed around him, then exploded outward.

It shook the void, while also carrying high temperatures.

Everywhere it passed was vaporized.

All the surrounding "An Kes" were blown back, suffering severe injuries.

However, Xiao felt no joy in his success.

Because for every "An Ke" that fell, a new clone would appear from the original An Ke's side.

Although this suicidal "suicide squad" style of fighting was very draining on his origin,

so what?

An Ke could already feel that Xiao was beginning to show signs of decline.

As long as they continued this tactic, Xiao would soon be unable to hold on.

Just as An Ke thought, under this extremely frantic assault, an "An Ke" finally broke through Xiao's attacks first.

Behind Xiao, an "An Ke" rapidly descended toward his back.

"This Little Mouse is going to become the number one mouse-bird!!!"

The one controlling this "An Ke" was none other than Three Hairs.

He landed on Xiao's back, then opened his mouth with an "Ah" and bit down on his neck.

Xiao naturally launched a counterattack.

Spikes erupted from his spine.

The An Ke controlled by Three Hairs had naturally inherited his indestructible body.

But even so, it was still pierced by Xiao's bone spikes.

However, as he was being flung away, Three Hairs successfully bit off a piece of "flesh" from Xiao's neck.

Simply put, it was disorderly origin.

The disorderly origin swallowed into the stomach was immediately converted into source by An Ke's "Natural Affinity."

This compensated for the deficit caused by constantly creating clones.

"Damn it!!"

Feeling his origin being bitten off, Xiao became even more violent.

"You really are parasites inside me!!"

But no matter how angry he was, he was powerless to change the fact that he was beginning to weaken.

More and more people pounced on him; even if they were killed instantly, they would still bite off a mouthful of his origin.

In the distance, An Ke watched this scene, feeling like a swarm of ants was covering an elephant's body and devouring it.

It was no exaggeration to say that enough ants could bite an elephant to death.

As everyone swarmed forward regardless of casualties, they devoured more and more disorderly origin.

During this time, the unbearable Xiao attacked An Ke's original body directly.

He exerted all his strength and struck out boldly.

Being beyond Sequence Nine, he hunted down An Ke's original body in less than ten minutes.

But to his speechlessness, An Ke quickly reappeared.

The current An Ke had inherited Kuku's fungus body.

Unless everything was killed at the same time, it was impossible for him to truly perish.

And An Ke was now at Sequence 8.

Although he wasn't stronger than Xiao, holding him off for a while was no problem.

The current situation was that it was impossible for Xiao to completely kill An Ke.

Meanwhile, An Ke could slowly consume Xiao.

The scales of victory had already tipped toward An Ke.

At the same time, there was also good news from those responsible for eliminating the consumption of Ascension Peak.

Originally, the "Darkness" had already swallowed more than half of Ascension Peak.

But with everyone's efforts, the "Darkness" had receded to one-third and was still decreasing.

An Ke glanced at the system.

He would soon be able to promote to Sequence Nine.

Just a little bit more.

As long as everyone devoured more "disorderly origin" for him, he could become Sequence Nine.

After that, he would consider the matter of ascending to Godhood.

After ascending to Godhood, he could follow Azure's example and break out of the game back into reality.

With the source, only when he reaches the Real World...

The "game" planned by the Disorderly Existence would then come to a complete end.

But...

An Ke was a bit distracted at this moment.

Firstly, because the nobles were hiding the method to ascend to Godhood.

Secondly, because he always felt that something was wrong right now.

If Xiao really were anxious to devour Ascension Peak, he should have rushed up himself by now.

But his current actions made An Ke feel that he wasn't in a hurry.

It seemed like he was just stalling for time, putting on an act.

What exactly was wrong?

Xiao was influenced by the disorderly origin and became a Disorderly Existence...

Suddenly, An Ke's heart jolted.

His eyes began to narrow.

Then, without any hesitation, he rushed toward Ascension Peak.

His sudden movement naturally attracted many people's attention.

Inside the New World.

Everyone looked up at An Ke.

"Young friend, what's wrong?"

"Benefactor, what do you plan to do?"

"Could it be that you've discovered something?"

"Is something wrong?"

"..."

Old Crocodile, Sister-in-law Crocodile, Tiger Mom, Leopard Mom, and the others had followed An Ke for a long time.

They knew he must have discovered something amiss.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have struck out so boldly.

From above, An Ke's voice was heavy:

"We've all been deceived."

"Xiao is just bait released by the Disorderly Existence."

"The one truly devouring Ascension Peak isn't the darkness outside, but Azure on the inside."

"The other party most likely used the 'game' rules to devour and assimilate Azure, then began to consume Ascension Peak."

"Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Xiao to be influenced by it and turn into a Disorderly Creature."
