Chapter 177: Battle at the Starry Sky Temple

"We're almost there!"

After flying for over ten minutes, Alush's voice suddenly rang out.

"There are an enormous number of Eros beings and Qiyuan beings outside."

"At the same time, those powerful Qiyuan beings have already detected our presence."

"Moreover, they are already gathering forces to attack us... no, the attack has already come."

"Watch out!"

With Alush's sharp shout.

"Boom!"

A mysterious force suddenly exploded in front of the three.

As the energy burst, the time-space passage shattered.

Gunie and the other two Cthulhu beings were thrown out of the passage and landed in the cosmic starry sky.

The moment he landed, Gunie felt the harsh environment of the cosmic border.

Powerful cosmic storms raged violently.

Even first- or second-tier gods would likely have their divine bodies scattered by these storms.

At the same time, bizarre memes permeated every corner.

As soon as Gunie emerged, a mass of grotesque memes wrapped around his body.

However, given Gunie's current physical strength, the moment these memes touched him,

"Sizzle..."

The memes were instead corroded by Gunie's powerful flesh.

Even the raging cosmic storms automatically avoided his body.

When the powerful cosmic rays shone on him, they not only failed to harm him but were absorbed by his body.

With the gentle wash of cosmic potential, Gunie felt no pressure.

Instead, he found this environment nurturing his Cthulhu body, almost a pleasure.

But this was no time for enjoyment.

Because countless Eros beings and Qiyuan beings were already eyeing them covetously.

Looking around, far and near, in all directions,

dense, ocean-like swarms of Eros beings stretched endlessly, with powerful mimetic Qiyuan beings lurking in the shadows.

Gunie had spent over three hundred years in seclusion.

And the calamity beings at the cosmic border had grown for decades or centuries.

Among the vast numbers of Eros beings, their ranks ranged from first-tier to fifth-tier gods.

Some Eros beings even possessed the strength of divine generals, and not a few.

As for the powerful Qiyuan beings, their strength had reached the level of divine dominators.

Whether there were Qiyuan beings at the dominator level, Gunie did not know.

For now, none were around, but he could not rule out their presence in the distant Starry Sky Temple.

The attack just now was definitely at the Cthulhu dominator level.

"If there are, that would be quite delightful," Gunie said softly.

"Kill!"

While Gunie was still observing, Alush shouted sharply.

His voice echoed through the starry sky.

The moment the words fell,

Whoosh—

Alush had already turned into a dark blur.

He swiftly swept through the dense formation of Eros beings ahead.

Bang bang bang bang...

The sounds of Eros beings exploding rose one after another.

Beside him, Andru also swung his tentacles, lashing out continuously.

With each swing of his tentacles, space in the distance exploded.

Countless Eros beings died.

Gunie also unleashed his Blood Sea.

Where the Blood Sea spread, it engulfed a small plane—giant blood-red waves and whirlpools, blood tendrils up to a hundred thousand kilometers long, blood walls tens of thousands of kilometers high and hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide.

All appeared within a range of millions of kilometers.

Eros beings below the divine controller level, if they even touched it, died instantly; none could escape the power of Gunie's Blood Sea.

Although this Blood Sea did not carry the blessing of Cthulhu scriptures,

it was empowered by the terrifying force of cosmic divine power.

And Gunie's soul was also blessed by Cthulhu scriptures; the combination of the two

naturally made his Blood Sea possess extremely terrifying might.

Even divine controllers would be easily slain under the unleashing of Gunie's ordinary Blood Sea.

With ease, millions of Eros beings around were killed by Gunie and the other two powerful Cthulhu beings.

But more Qiyuan beings swarmed in.

And farther away, even more, seemingly endless.

"Why are there so many Eros beings?"

Gunie asked casually amidst the slaughter.

For him, this level of battle was as easy as breathing, requiring no effort.

"I'd like to know that too," Andru replied while waving his tentacles.

"What's certain is that in places we can't see, they keep pouring in endlessly."

"The same goes for the Qiyuan beings."

"The more we kill, the more there are; we can never finish them."

"Otherwise, how could it be called a calamity?"

"If that's the case, even better. I love endless numbers the most."

Gunie didn't know if Andru and Alush had effective recovery abilities.

But for him,

after fusing with the corpse of the Cthulhu Old One that could communicate with the cosmic origin and its abilities,

his own power was inexhaustible.

At the same time, Gunie could use his Blood Sea to pull the corpses of these powerful Eros beings into it and digest them.

After all, he had already assimilated these Eros beings.

Sharing the same origin, he could efficiently absorb their various forms of matter and energy.

In the midst of battle, Gunie suddenly spoke.

"Two seniors, stay close to me and don't stray too far."

"I'll spread my Blood Sea to cover this entire area."

"When they come in, you kill them, and I'll absorb all their corpses."

"If they don't come in, there's no need for you to act."

"We'll advance at full speed like this."

"Head straight for the nearby Starry Sky Temple."

"That's where the real battle is. And this is just a fraction of my Blood Sea's power."

"Once we occupy the temple and they attack en masse, I'll show them the true terror of my Blood Sea."

"No problem."

"Agreed."

The two Cthulhu Old Ones had no objections to Gunie's proposal.

Against these swarms of minions, Gunie's area-of-effect attacks were the most effective.

Moreover, he could absorb the corpses, ensuring sustained combat.

Within the Blood Sea, they formed a triangular formation with Gunie.

This could greatly extend their combat duration.

As the two settled beside Gunie,

Gunie manipulated the Blood Sea, and the three flew together toward the distant Starry Sky Temple.

As Gunie and the others advanced,

inside the Starry Sky Temple,

several powerful beings with auras close to Cthulhu Old Ones were secretly observing the attack of the three Cthulhu dominators.

"Just three little dominators dare to enter the cosmic border? They're asking for death. The sheer number of Eros beings alone will wear them out."

"Not necessarily. Don't you see that very tiny one? His Blood Sea can continuously absorb power and form a barrier."

"Over ninety percent of the Eros beings that enter are killed by him."

"Even if some slip through, waves of blood still kill them, not to mention the two Cthulhu beings guarding him."

"Can his mental energy sustain that long?"

"That's true."

"Though his Blood Sea is fierce, after hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, he'll run out."

"Moreover, that tiny one needs the other two to protect him, clearly a caster-type Cthulhu being. Though his energy is formidable, you know, such Cthulhu beings have very weak bodies."

"Once they get close, an assassination will severely wound him."

"Indeed, these weak Cthulhu dominators cannot live forever; they want to drain our strength before they die, but... you know, that's impossible."

"We just need to keep attacking, attacking."

"Hmm! They've started moving toward us."

"Let them come. When they get close, we'll give them a surprise."

"I was thinking the same."
