Once upon a time there was a greedy snake

In mid-air, the sun god with the head of an eagle and the body of a human had already narrowed his eyes.

"So that ancient serpent had been hiding such a trump card behind its back... Well then, let's settle the scores of the previous generation in this one!"

As he said this, the sun god with the head of an eagle and the body of a human raised his palm, and golden flames instantly condensed!

But at that moment, Du Yi, looking puzzled, spoke up again.

"Wait a moment."

Recalling the jumbled information he had just heard, Du Yi quickly organized his thoughts.

It was indeed a bit too chaotic, and he was somewhat confused by what he heard—but overall, he roughly understood that what the eagle-headed man was saying seemed to be related to things before the Great Flood.

But if we really try to force it in...

In other words, he is that evil ancient serpent?

Those Ignivas, who, in the other party's words, are the retinue of the evil ancient serpent?

"You mean, those Ignivas are no longer in this world?"

Du Yi, who had caught the key point, looked up in astonishment.

"What about my mammoth?"

"The Ignivas? So you really are connected to that evil ancient serpent!"

In mid-air, the sun god with the head of an eagle and the body of a human suddenly contracted his pupils.

"You actually know this evil title, so it seems you really are a remnant of that era... Very well, as a descendant of the giants, today I will cleanse evil like the three giants of yesteryear!"

As he spoke, the sun god with the head of an eagle and the body of a human waved his hand.

Golden flames descended from the sky.

However, such achievements are meaningless to Du Yi. After all, he had played with fire countless times in the past and had been burned by campfires many times. How could he possibly be injured by such intense flames? Moreover, after shrinking in size, Du Yi is now extremely agile, and such large-scale area attacks cannot hit him at all.

However, the raging flames were just an illusion.

Just as Du Yi was skillfully dodging the scorching flames, a large hand descended from the sky and grabbed him.

"Hehehe, let's see where you run this time!"

The sun god with the head of an eagle and the body of a human raised his right arm and grabbed the tiny snake along with the large area of ​​land it had captured!

"Receive divine purification!"

As he said this, golden flames rose up once again.

This time, there was no chance of dodging.

Golden flames scorched the soil, and also the little snake within it; in moments, everything would be reduced to ashes.

At that moment, the sun god with the head of an eagle and the body of a human even heard the little snake's shout.

"No, I can't hold on much longer..."

"You can't hold on anymore? What happened to your arrogance just now?"

The sun god with the head of an eagle and the body of a human sneered and increased the firepower in his hands.

This made the little snake's cries even louder.

"No! I can't hold on much longer... I'm going to die!"

"I'm dying! Get out of my way!"

...Get out of the way? Do you even need to get out of the way?

The sun god, with a falcon's head and a human body, was expressionless.

At this moment, as a descendant of the three giant gods, he is about to cleanse the world of evil and refine this wicked ancient serpent descendant on the spot...

"boom--"

Just as the eagle-headed, human-bodied sun god was increasing his firepower, the suddenly expanding giant serpentine body pressed down like a mountain, crushing his entire body into the ground.

Chapter 168 The Sun God, Resurrection

All emerging technologies often share a common feature.

That is, this thing is not very stable.

Although Du Yi looked relaxed after shrinking, he had to concentrate constantly in order to maintain his body's contraction for a long time. While Du Yi wasn't entirely incapable of multitasking, fighting someone was a different story.

When the golden flames actually burned his body, and when Du Yi began to think about fighting back, his immature shrinking magic was already on the verge of collapse.

To be fair, Du Yi really didn't want to crush this eagle-headed, human-bodied sun god. Since the other party had clearly expressed a lot of information that he didn't know, he really wanted to spare the eagle-headed, human-bodied monster's life. So, before the shrinking magic was about to collapse, he had already warned the eagle-headed man to dodge at the top of his lungs, and even shouted it several times in a row.

But who would have thought that instead of dodging, the eagle-headed man intensified his firepower and even lifted his body over his head.

"This……"

Du Yi, having moved aside, stared at the eagle-headed man on the ground, now flattened, and remained speechless for a long time.

"……never mind."

After a moment of silence, Du Yi looked at the four priests.

"Which of you knows the resurrection spell?"

The four priests were dumbfounded. They had all been waiting to die, but they never expected that the serpent god, which had shrunk, could grow back to its original size. The once arrogant sun god was now completely crushed into a piece of papyrus.

The sun god, who was about to settle scores with them, fell down just like that, and the great serpent god actually regained his majestic form. The four priests no longer needed to worry about the sun god's retribution, simply because the great serpent god possessed such great power.

The great serpent god is one thing, but the great serpent god who defeated the sun god is quite another.

The ups and downs of life can be so thrilling.

"I'm asking you a question. Which of you knows the resurrection spell?"

Just then, the sound came from mid-air once again.

This prompted the four priests to bow in respect.

"You want to resurrect... the sun god?"

Of the four priests, Ansag the Crowned was the first to guess the serpent god's intentions, which made him admire the serpent god's ruthlessness.

Killing them wasn't the end of it; they had to be resurrected and captured alive on the spot. The serpent god was extremely ruthless towards its enemies!

"You don't need to do anything."

Ansag, the Crowned One, bowed his head respectfully.

"Gods cannot be killed. You just need to wait for it to recover on its own. It won't take long... If you can expose it to sunlight, it might recover even faster."

"Oh? There's such a saying?"

The enormous shadow that had been obscuring the eagle-headed man was moved aside slightly, and the midday sun shone on the eagle-headed man.

This seems to actually have some effect; at least under the sunlight, the eagle-headed man's flattened body is indeed constantly bouncing back.

"You really can't kill him?"

Du Yi suddenly became curious; he even wanted to spit on it to test the eagle-headed man's quality.

This was also the counterattack he was just preparing to use: a direct venom spray, which was always the most effective way to deal with eagles flying in the sky.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Du Yi gave up this dangerous attempt, simply because he could see that the newly recovered eagle-headed man was still very weak. If he were to be killed by the eagle-headed man's spit, then all his efforts would have been in vain.

After thinking for a moment, Du Yi ordered the priests to bring over cattle and sheep, and they grilled them while waiting for the eagle-headed man to recover.

……

When the sun god regained consciousness, the sun had already set.

The light shining on him was no longer the warm sunlight, but the cold moonlight, which caused the sun god to experience a sharp pain all over his body. The pain was so intense that it almost made the sun god lose consciousness again.

This must be a nightmare, it must be.

As memories from before his coma gradually resurfaced, the Sun God became increasingly reluctant to open his eyes.

How could this be? Why? Didn't he already win? Didn't he already have that evil ancient serpent's retinue in his grasp?

Why did that evil ancient serpent suddenly grow so big?

If it were just a mountain crashing down, with his divine strength, he might not necessarily be able to withstand it—but the enormous force that suddenly burst forth from his palm far surpassed that of a so-called mountain.

Faced with such absolute violence, he didn't even have time to react before he was crushed into the ground.

"But... I now have a second chance."

Thinking this, the sun god opened his eyes.

"Although the sunlight I've absorbed isn't enough for me to fully recover, it's enough for one battle..."

The sun god's gaze froze.

Because, in front of him, there was an even larger pair of snake eyes, staring intently at him.

"You're awake already? Come and eat if you're awake."

The enormous ancient serpent raised its long tail, and a whole skewer of roasted beef was presented to the sun god.

This is a true roasted beef, using a whole tree trunk as a skewer to roast three whole cows over a fire until cooked.

Even though the Sun God considered himself to be very knowledgeable, this was the first time he had ever seen kebabs of this caliber.

And this unheard-of cooking method, along with the enormous snake body so close at hand...

"This is not a member of the ancient serpent's retinue at all!"

At that moment, the sun god realized that he had probably made a wrong judgment.

In the previous battles, he was not facing any of the ancient serpent's familiars at all.

From the very beginning, what fought him was the evil ancient serpent itself.

"They actually used a snake's shed skin to deceive me..."

The sun god had never been so angry. He, as a god, had never been so fooled. This evil ancient serpent was so insidious!

"Even if I haven't fully recovered, I still have the strength to fight!"

Taking a deep breath, the sun god's body was instantly engulfed in golden flames, his dazzling appearance resembling a second sun about to rise!

However, at that very moment, a huge shadow fell down upon them.

What appeared in sight was an overwhelming expanse of snake tails.

"Boom-"

The heavy serpent's tail slammed onto the ball of golden flame, and the sun god, who had just lit up, was instantly embedded in the earth once more.

It wasn't until the evening of the second day that the sun god, who had absorbed sunlight all day, regained consciousness.

"Are you behaving yourself this time?"

Just as the Sun God was about to make his move, a voice came from mid-air.

"If you're honest, then speak properly and tell me everything you know."

Chapter 169 Torturing the Sun God

Of course, the sun god couldn't just give a straight answer. He was a high and mighty deity with his own dignity and principles.

Even though he is now too weak to fight, he will not bow down to the evil ancient serpent. Even if he has to risk his last bit of strength, he will fight against evil to the very end!

"Boom!"

And so, with a muffled thud, the sun god was once again embedded in the earth.

Fortunately, after a full day of sunshine, the sun god regained some of his strength. Even if it was only a little, he would continue to fight against evil...

"Boom!"

With another muffled thud, the sun god was reduced to a flat surface once more.

During the day, the sun god absorbed sunlight to accumulate power, and at night, he fought with the evil ancient serpent again, only to be smashed into the ground again, until the sun rose once more... This cycle repeated for a full seven days and nights.

Even Du Yi had to admire the eagle-headed man; he was surprisingly tough, refusing to utter a single word even after being repeatedly pinned to the ground.

"I haven't even said what I want to ask yet, is it really necessary?"
