?1159 The Poor Stellos.
The sound waves aren't only vibrations and energy. They contain some sort of spiritual attack that is wearing down their soul. It also contains an element of illusion that is reducing their resistance.
It is a combination attack in a single move. The illusion is weakening their will to fight while the other physical and spiritual attacks battered them nonstop.
The Stellos are worse than those who were flaking away as the sound waves battered them. The scream struck them and they shattered directly without any resistance. This is just because of the physical vibrations from the sound.
Earth is weak to sound after all. The Stellos have a high resistance to physical attacks but the sound waves are at a frequency that enables them to bypass the potent defense of the Stellos.
Other races could still struggle and resist but the Stellos were like fragile glass that broke at the slightest touch. Only the Sovereign-level Stellos were still alive but they couldn't move at all. The strongest race of this plane had been effectively neutralized and with one attack too. That's why this Supreme beast is one of the ones that was sent to attack this plane.
The second Supreme beast followed up with another attack. Two wings appeared behind her back. They are thin translucent wings that resemble those of butterflies. A pair of segmented antennae appeared on her faceless and featureless head. And a hole also appeared in her chest.
The hole expanded and filled up her torso as if hollowing her out. This is because the inside of the hole is filled with total darkness. Nothing can be seen within it.
But then some things began to come out from the darkness. These things buzzed as they flapped their wings. The sound of their flight was silent at first. But it increased as more and more of them came out of the hole.
Soon a horde of buzzing insects had come out of the hole. They filled the sky like a dark cloud. Then the insects expanded after they came out from the hole in her chest. They changed from the tiny insignificant ants that they were into giant ants that are 10 meters in length and 2 meters in height.
The buzzing of their wings created a loud irritating sound that drew the attention of the mentally stunned defenders to them. Dismay and shock broke through the illusion lulling them. They finally felt something other than drowsiness. Their stupor was broken by the threat to their life. Unfortunately, their renewed Will to live didn't change their situation for the better.
The defenders were awake to see the appearance of the ants. They even witnessed the transformation of the ants into their giant versions but they couldn't stop it. They were busy struggling to resist the first attack.
That first attack is still working on them. The continuous high-
pitched scream is scrambling their consciousness by constantly damaging them. They are constantly having their minds and bodies flayed.
All the physical and mental prowess at their disposal is already being used to stay alive. They couldn't form magical attacks in their painful situation.
They could still move, albeit with a painful struggle, so they rushed towards the three Supreme beasts like a tide. Unfortunately for them, the damage to their existence increased the closer they got to her. They had to slow down or risk their consciousness collapsing completely. Only the Origin god Stellos could continue moving forward through the sound attack.
The origin god was incensed. He can't believe that every Stellos apart from him had been incapacitated or killed instantly. And this is from a single attack of a single supreme beast. He doesn't need to wonder why the fortress fell so quickly and why no information managed to reach him apart from the fact that they were attacked.
The Stellos stationed there wouldn't have been able to put up any worthwhile resistance against this scream. Especially not when they were caught off guard. And now the entire plane is about to be defeated.
Everything hinges on him now. He can see that even though the scream is not lethal to anyone who is at least a titan of law and isn't a Stellos. It gets more dangerous the longer it continues and it is also being used to buy time for the second wave of attack that is sure to come.
The sky above the three Supreme beasts is already covered with giant ants and more are still coming from the hole within the second Supreme beast. If he doesn't interrupt the army that they assembling right before his eyes, then they are bound to lose.
He flew forward despite the painful wail ringing throughout his existence. He is able to move and handle the sound attack because he is an Origin god and because he didn't use their race's divine ability to become a titan of law.
He had added the law of fire to their divine ability. He lost the immense defense of his divine ability but he gained superior speed and range for his attacks. Most importantly, it helped him to overcome their race's weakness to fire and now it has helped him to withstand this sound attack.
He used his superior speed now by turning into a comet that streaked in the sky towards the supreme beasts. It is a slow comet but it is still powerful and cannot be ignored. He also used his superior ranged prowess to create lave whips from his body which he lashed at the invaders like a whip.
The lava whips flashed with light as if exploding but they only accelerated. They appeared in front of the howling supreme beast with a might that could surely split a mountain in half. Success was right in front of him. But then someone interfered.
The third supreme beast that hadn't done anything since the start of the battle finally moved. One of his hands flashed and grabbed the lave whip. Then he tore it with a pull.
