Chapter 670: Slaying the Death God’s Husk
The surging, furious seawater blew Xi Wei away, as if a punch had landed squarely on his body. Endless tentacles swept towards him, attempting to drag him into the dark abyss.
Warm light of life and a silver hourglass appeared.
The former dispelled the chilling tide, while the latter twisted the rampant tentacles.
Xi Wei’s body began to ascend, pulled by the two forces, gradually escaping the deep sea. Everything around him became bright again.
He broke through the water’s surface.
The dream shattered with a splash.
He was still in the small wooden house, but the Death God’s aura had completely vanished.
“Lord Death has dissipated, and Cthulhu’s residual will has been eliminated.”
The Goddess of Time sighed, but without much sorrow.
For Ossirist, this outcome was the best.
He had untangled his emotional knot and achieved self-realization.
Xi Wei’s expression was still dazed, his face pale as he breathed heavily.
Was that figure Cthulhu? Just a residual will had made him feel as helpless as a bug trapped in a spiderweb.
If its true form had descended…
“Master, are you alright?” Loli held Xi Wei’s hand, her eyes filled with worry.
Ruo Yi beside them also looked shaken.
They had been terrified just moments ago. From the moment the Death God entered the small wooden house, Xi Wei had become entranced, his body spasming unnaturally.
At its worst, strange things seemed to writhe beneath the skin of his face and body.
No matter how they called out to him, there was no response.
Only when the Death God’s aura completely disappeared did Xi Wei’s condition show a slight improvement.
It was then that Loli realized her divinity was accepted, and the Goddess of Time also reached out to gently tap Xi Wei’s forehead.
“I’m fine,” Xi Wei regained his senses.
He then looked towards the small wooden house, where a formidable power was awakening.
The Death God had finished his part; now it was time for him to bear the responsibility.
The Death Divinity began to converge towards the small wooden house.
Instantly, a figure extremely similar to the Death God condensed above the small wooden house. However, half of its body was covered in twisted, shadowy tentacles, and its countless crimson, gleaming eyes were hidden within a black cloak, emitting endless malice.
This was the Death God’s contaminated divine body.
But now, it was merely a husk devoid of any will, driven by Death Divinity and Cthulhu’s evil characteristics, harboring a natural hostility towards all living beings around it.
【Death God’s Husk (Half-Contaminated)】
【Level: 115 (Demigod)】
【Skills: ???】
【Equipment: Death God’s Cloak (Damaged), Death God’s Scythe (Damaged)】
【Undead Faction Reputation 87994521+ (Within the decaying divine body lies Ossirist’s final kindness towards this land – all undead controlled by the Undead Emperor Audoin will perish with the Death God. Undead will still be born but will become neutral faction beings.)】
【Divine Realm Reputation: 98 (Bayedell: I often mock my sleeping old friend for being a brute; he should remain forever asleep. This world should be controlled by light alone… Controlled by light, and also willingly facing death for light.)】
【Prime Material Plane Reputation: 746987412+ (We have never seen the Death God; perhaps he never existed, and there isn’t even a shrine dedicated to him… What? Someone from the Wintery Empire claims the Death God is a benevolent god? What a joke! Just the other day, I encountered a skeleton in the forest. It stared blankly at me before dissolving into ashes. How terrifying!)】
Astream of chaotic information flashed before Xi Wei’s eyes.
The Death God’s husk let out a cry and raised its hands.

The black mist condensed by Death Divinity burst from the ground, transforming into wildly swinging tentacles under the malevolence of the Old Ones.
This black mist tentacle was like a drumbeat before battle; the decisive confrontation was imminent.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
More and more black mist tentacles emerged from the ground.
The entire Dead Sea began to boil, resembling the Winding Vine Abyss.
Since Cthulhu’s will had been wiped out by the Death God, the Death God’s husk could only attack in this crude manner, but it was still deadly.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Countless black mist tentacles rained down on Xi Wei.
Frenzied, chaotic, and obscuring the sky.
At the same time, the Death God’s husk flickered and instantly appeared behind Xi Wei.
With a *swish*.
The scythe swung horizontally, slashing down ferociously.
All of this happened too quickly. Xi Wei was completely overwhelmed by the myriad of attacks before he could even react.
However, he was unharmed.
Loli stood beside him, a line emitting a soft glow connecting them, supporting a life shield constructed from the light of profound rules.
As for Ruo Yi, Connie, and the Elven Empress, they were temporarily taken into the river of time by the Goddess of Time to evade damage.
The ensuing battle belonged to the King of Winter.
Xi Wei’s figure broke through the continuous onslaught, like a fish leaping out of the water. Gripping the King of Conquest Long Sword, its blade wreathed in holy flames, he unleashed a heaven-splitting strike towards the Death God’s husk.
With a single sword stroke, it was as if the midday sun had fallen.
Heaven and earth lost color, all things became illusory, and the entire Dead Sea was gilded in golden light.
However, no matter how formidable Xi Wei was, he was ultimately just a Legendary.
The Death God’s husk casually conjured a black curtain, swallowing all his attacks along with him.
Loli’s long-prepared divine art finally erupted.
The Gates of Heaven were forcefully opened amidst the dark clouds, and countless beams of golden light descended, transforming into swords formed from Life Divinity that enveloped the Death God’s husk. Life Divinity and Death Divinity were mutually antagonistic, instantly pinning the Death God’s husk in place, unable to move.
The next moment, Xi Wei had broken out of the abyss of black mist. Black mist tentacles surged again, and he wielded his sword, dodging and weaving, cutting them down one by one. Countless undead also appeared around them, unable to reach Loli, they could only choose to surround Xi Wei.
Loli’s eyes narrowed, and she raised her hand, pointing forward.
“Buzz—”
A faint light from her fingertips instantly blazed.
A pillar of light flashed, piercing all the undead in a straight line.
The pillar of light, with undiminished momentum, landed on Xi Wei, forming a shield that then exploded. Dense light projectiles scattered like shrapnel, annihilating all the surrounding undead.
At this moment, the Death God’s husk was at the end of its strength.
As Xi Wei and the divine monsters extending from around him continued to clash, the Death God’s Divinity on its body grew more and more sparse, all of it becoming nourishment for the King of Conquest Long Sword. Meanwhile, in Xi Wei’s Godhead, fragments of Death Divinity were gradually accumulating.
After a period of entanglement.
Xi Wei delivered his final sword strike.
“Boom—!”
A canyon, scorched by golden holy flames, split open in the Dead Sea. The Death God’s husk perished in the sun-like Qi Slash, leaving behind only distorted flesh and blood monsters wailing in the holy flames, gradually burning to ashes.
To ensure this thing wouldn’t revive.
Loli very cautiously bombarded the pile of ashes with divine arts over a hundred times. Only when Xi Wei gently embraced her did she take a deep breath and stop.
