Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 247 Terraquis Behemoth

After subduing the Black Dragon Clan, Agreed sent the Hydras back first, while he himself led the Black Dragon Clan and Ladon on another journey. This time, his target was the strongest monster scattered throughout the inner world, the 'Telasqui Beast'!

Here's a brief introduction to the Terasque behemoths. They are the uncrowned kings of all monsters, the pinnacle of non-intelligent beings, and the most perfect creations of nature. They are legendary creatures studied by all intelligent beings.

Most Terasquist behemoths are around 30 meters tall and have a shoulder height of over 10 meters when they reach adulthood. However, Agreed learned from the River Styx that the largest Terasquist behemoths can reach around 80 meters tall and have a shoulder height of over 50 meters, making them comparable to ancient dragons. They do not possess dragon breath, but their sharp claws can easily break through the defenses of legendary-level creatures, and their physical defenses are also extremely high.

However, the most unique ability of the Terasque behemoths is their almost immortal regenerative ability. Terasque behemoths do not have any particularly important and irreplaceable organs, meaning they have no vital points or weaknesses. Therefore, no attack of any kind can, strictly speaking, cause fatal damage to them. Moreover, even if their bodies are cut into several pieces, they will instantly heal back to their original state as long as these pieces are simply pieced back together.

The bodies of Terasque behemoths have no resistance to magic, but their bodies seem to be almost immune to curses and various severe injury effects as a form of self-protection. What does this mean? It means that these monsters have maximum resistance to instant-death attacks and attacks that inhibit self-healing. This led scholars to believe that Terasque behemoths were simply immortal creatures for a long time!

In the early days, the only way to deal with the Terasque behemoths was to spend a lot of resources to cut off their legs and arms and seal them separately. But this could not kill them completely. In fact, as time went by, the separated flesh would turn into a new Terasque behemoth, break free of the seal and wreak havoc on the world.

This is why everyone is so eager to acquire them; who wouldn't want a body that is immortal and eternally youthful?

Unfortunately, the Terasque behemoths are not immortal, or rather, in Agred's eyes, they are not immortal.

The black dragons seized the Terasque behemoth from all directions. The Terasque struggled fiercely in the hands of the black dragons, but unfortunately, it was far inferior to the black dragons in terms of strength and physical toughness. Moreover, the Terasque's claws and fangs could not break through the black dragons' defenses at all. In the end, it could only be carried to Agred by the black dragons like a pig.

Agreed watched as the dozen or so behemoths before him raised his hand and unleashed the eleventh-tier instant-death spell, 'Death Declaration.' With the release of the spell, a Terasque behemoth was instantly annihilated at the soul level. The Terasque behemoths beside him trembled with fear at the sight. As their kind, they knew all too well what had just happened. One of their companions had been so casually and cruelly murdered by that eerie dragon. This chilled the behemoths to the bone. Although they possessed extremely high resistance to instant-death spells, unfortunately, just as rubber can only insulate if the voltage of the current does not exceed its breakdown voltage.

There is no absolute resistance to absolute violence; this is common sense.

When Agreed unleashed that instant-death spell, powerful enough to wipe out an entire city, onto a Terasque behemoth, then sorry, no matter what you are, unless you're a god—a being that defies the rules—you are doomed to die without exception.

In fact, only gods possess absolute resistance due to the enhancement of their divine power on the power attributes of a certain element or type. This is because divine power is something that violates the rules. It allows gods to exist in ways that do not conform to any known physical rules and to challenge the limits of the imagination of lower beings. In fact, many technological civilizations went completely mad after recognizing the existence of gods, because they suddenly realized that everything they had done from ancient times to the present was meaningless!

Argrede, like a ruthless butcher in a slaughterhouse, reaped the lives of one Terasquist behemoth after another. Finally, after twenty minutes of exhaustion, all the adult Terasquist behemoths in the Netherworld were killed. The remaining juveniles were collected by Argrede, who planned to keep them in the Netherworld for future use.

After extracting the bloodline and characteristics of those Terasque behemoths, Agred took to the air again and shouted, "Since we're already here, let's take this inner world in one fell swoop! You're all coming with me. From today onwards, only the power of my Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races can exist in this inner world!"

Upon hearing this, Ladon and the black dragons roared excitedly and caught up with Agreed, who was flying ahead. Agreed's meaning was clear: now, there was only one race left in the underground world that could be called a force, and that was the 'mind flayers'!

And judging from Agreed's attitude, he won't let this end until he wipes out the entire Mindflayer race.

In fact, that's exactly what Agreed did. Agreed led the Black Dragon Clan directly to the top of the Mind Flayer Clan's Brain Pool. Then, Agreed opened his mouth wide and spat out a breath of dragon fire, burning the Brain Pool, along with the main brain inside and the Mind Flayer elders guarding the place, to ashes.

Immediately afterward, Ladon and the black dragons quickly formed an encirclement and slaughtered the remaining mind flayer clan without leaving a single one alive. However, just as the black dragons were in the midst of their killing spree, a bizarre creature crawled out of the giant crater scorched by Agred's dragon breath. It looked like a strange monster forcibly stitched together by hundreds of people, with countless human heads and hundreds or thousands of arms growing all over its body.

Agreed, seeing this familiar scene, guessed without hesitation that it was the evil god worshipped by the mind flayers unleashing its power. And indeed, the mind flayers here worshipped Hastur, the Yellow Lord, the mortal enemy of the evil god Cthulhu. Now, Hastur sensed the crisis facing his followers and used his divine power, combined with the hundreds of humanoid corpses in his brain pool that were originally intended to incubate newborns, to create the Hundred-Armed Giant, intending to destroy Agreed.

Here, I must once again explain the knowledge about the divine system in the void.

In fact, the Cthulhu pantheon is just a branch of the Void. The true origin of the Void gods comes from the Outer God 'Azathoth'. Later, Azathoth created the three Primal Gods: Yog-Sothoth, the All-Knowing and All-Seeing God who unified all things; Shub-Niggurath, the Mother of Darkness and the Black Goat of the Forest; and Nyarlathotep, the Messenger of Chaos. These four Ancient Gods, including Azathoth, are the true top beings in the Void. Below them, the Great Old Ones, also known as the Evil Gods, have split into hundreds of factions. However, after countless years of infighting and slaughter, only four factions remain: Water, Wind, Fire, and Earth.
