Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 376 Great Battle Against the Primal Core

Argrede transformed into a teardrop and crashed straight into Azathoth's body. However, Argrede seemed to be trapped in a spatial loop. No matter how fast he accelerated, he was always some distance away from Azathoth. Argrede then deactivated his teardrop form and unleashed his full power. His true form as a dragon god and his demon soul unleashed terrifying colorful dragon breath from Argrede's mouth, striking Azathoth.

But Azathoth, which resembled a giant cell, was not disturbed in the slightest. A chaotic, folded space appeared and swallowed Agred's dragon breath. In an instant, this earth-shattering attack was perfectly neutralized by this bizarre scene.

Immediately afterward, Agreed unleashed another bolt of lightning at Azathoth, but this attack was once again swallowed up by the unknown chaotic power and spatial magic. As a test, Agreed quickly gathered the chaotic power in the void and unleashed all the magic he had learned in his life. A total of 87,497 spells from the first to the thirteenth tier were instantly unleashed. The dazzling spells struck Azathoth, and the almost invincible chaotic barrier was temporarily revealed under the bombardment of magic.

It turns out that Azathoth was born in the chaotic void. His long-term contact with the void gave him a 'membrane' or 'chaotic shell' made of the power of chaos from birth. The chaotic shell is a substance formed by the unstable space in the void and the power of chaos over many years. Therefore, the 'sleepy' Azathoth will only wake up and seriously face his enemies after his chaotic shell is broken.

Argreed quickly discerned the full form of the Chaos Shell after a few probes. He then activated the forbidden magic 'Hand of Plunder', instantly drawing away the Chaos God's power from within the Chaos Shell. Immediately afterward, Argreed's demonic soul was unleashed, and 'Descent of the Styx' swept in, tearing apart the Chaos Shell on Azathoth's body with overwhelming force.

At this moment, Azathoth, having lost its outer shell, finally awoke and acknowledged the visiting enemy. Azathoth's body rapidly coalesced and transformed, and a gigantic single eye appeared in the void. After a moment of bewildered searching, the giant eye focused its gaze on Agreed, and then Azathoth's true form was finally revealed before Agreed.

A gigantic golden goat's eye appeared in the center, followed by countless mysterious chaotic mists that transformed into tentacles that enveloped Azathoth's single eye. Then, countless miniature golden pupils grew from those tentacles. Compared to Azathoth's enormous size, even Agred appeared tiny.

Unfortunately, Agreed did not launch an attack while Azathoth was transforming, because he had a feeling that if he made any rash moves now, it would drive Azathoth into a frenzy and put him in a completely passive position.

After revealing his true form, Azathoth looked at Agreed and, after a while, spoke with his strange soul power: "Aio, you've become younger, and you've learned many interesting things. You didn't kill me back then, so are you here to make up for your regrets?"

It was obvious that the senile Azathoth had mistaken the person. Born from the void, Azathoth could be said to be the oldest existing nature god in the multiverse. However, because of his chaotic, changeable, and crazy thoughts, which could be called 'neurotic' even among gods, he did not have much interaction with other nature gods, and therefore had little impression of the changes in the world.

After the war of nature gods that Io caused, the first challenger was Azathoth, because in terms of raw strength, Azathoth was one of the few beings who could rival Io in that era. But unfortunately, despite Io's best efforts, he still managed to fight Azathoth to a draw, and neither of them could defeat the other, so the fight ended badly.

In the ensuing war of the gods, no god would travel billions of light-years to the void to provoke this being who was on par with Io. After all, Io was a terrifying being that even Io could not defeat. The other gods could only keep their distance from Azathoth. Therefore, in that era, the void was the safest place in the multiverse. As a result, the only one that Azathoth and the nature gods knew well was the nine-headed dragon god 'Io' who had fought a great battle with him.

Agreed stared intently at Azathoth and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm not Aio, just his successor. But I'm here today to fulfill his regret, to kill you here!" As he spoke, nine dragon heads appeared, unleashing a devastating dragon breath towards Azathoth.

Countless tentacles beside Azathoth sprang into action, instantly weaving a giant net to withstand the nine dragon breaths. At the same time, the chaotic aura enveloped Agreed, transforming the void around the two into a raging chaotic domain.

Agreed looked at the chaotic domain before him with apprehension. He knew about this domain from Io's memories; it was the 'Blind Folly Domain' created by Azathoth's chaotic divine power. Within this space, Azathoth's chaotic thoughts constantly attacked his enemies, blocking their senses, divine power, and skills. In other words, even gods would become completely crippled within this domain. Back then, Azathoth used the chaotic domain to force Io to retreat. It could even be said that if Io hadn't been physically strong, he would have almost died at Azathoth's hands.

As a veteran nature god, Azathoth had no bad habits. His fighting style was always to use all his trump cards directly and try to kill the enemy in the shortest time. Azathoth's chaotic tentacles extended infinitely and flew towards Agreed. Under the suppression of the chaotic domain, Agreed's divine power, magic and even skills were all interfered with and rendered unusable. Agreed could only use his physical body to repel wave after wave of attacks from the tentacles, but the endless and all-pervasive tentacles soon overwhelmed Agreed.

Tentacles bound Agred's limbs and roughly ripped off his wings. Then, the tentacles gathered together and pierced Agred's chest like a giant spear. After entering Agred's body, the tentacles quickly drained his divine power like terrible parasites, trying to suck Agred to death.

Before the tentacles could draw away the divine power from Agred's body, they suddenly decomposed into pure chaotic power, which Agred absorbed into his body. As a result, Agred's physical body instantly became as if it were nothing due to this chaotic aura. Many years later, Agred's dragon body changed again.

Agreed roared, and a chaotic aura that did not belong to Azathoth swept out, instantly annihilating the overwhelming tentacles. At the same time, Agreed's body grew larger again, reaching the same size as Azathoth in the blink of an eye.
