Chapter 302: An Important Choice
Bloody chunks of flesh lay on the ground as Sophie continued to aggravate the wound inside the giant’s body.
Her bladed appendages sliced with an almost surgical-like precision through the layers of muscle, bone, and tissue.
Sophie was forced to constantly steady her body as the colossal beast shook and wriggled his knee repeatedly.
The heavy vibrations knocked her to the ground several times, but Sophie just kept getting back up.
It was truly an unpleasant experience being trapped inside the giant’s body as the internal temperature was around thirty-nine degrees and there was heavy moisture in the air.
Droplets of sweat ran down the sides of Sophie’s face and she had to constantly wipe her brow to avoid getting it in her eyes.
“That looks so disgusting,” Sophie groaned as she saw pale yellowish- white mucus bubbling up from the cracks in the giant’s flesh.
The scent of rotten meat filled the air as Sophie tried desperately not to throw up. However, something was a bit different this time….
Beneath the pungent odour entering her nostrils, the hybrid girl could smell a delicious tangy scent.
Sophie narrowed her eyes in confusion and looked around the enclosed space.
Where was that scent coming from?
Sophie jerked uncomfortably as her body started to move on its own. It was like something was calling her towards a certain location.
The bladed appendages on Sophie’s back remained in her control so she absentmindedly continued to slice off the newly grown flesh while walking in an unknown direction.
The space was not particularly large, so it only took Sophie a few minutes to reach what appeared to be a transparent fleshy membrane covering a bluish-purple organ.
She could not believe that she hadn’t notice this mysterious object before.
The organ behind the wall was roughly the length of her entire body and was oval shaped.
Thick green veins pulsated regularly around the organ and every few seconds a pale milky white substrate would leak out and be absorbed by the surrounding nerve cells.
Sophie’s body moved involuntarily, and her right palm easily pierced through the transparent membrane.
It was hard to describe the feeling Sophie had when she reached through the membrane and grabbed the strange organ.
Touching the organ felt rough and bumpy as tiny, raised microtubules covered every inch of its surface area.
There were thick fleshy webbing surrounding the organ, but Sophie’s bladed appendages easily sliced through these restraints.
Sophie had no idea why this thing had triggered a reaction from her predatory instincts but every fibre of her being was shouting to consume it.
She gripped the sides of the organ firmly and then steadily pulled the organ using all of the strength she had left.
“Come on… come on!” Sophie gritted her teeth as the organ refused to budge.
Inch by inch the organ slowly begun to move until the last webbing snapped and it fell out of the membrane.
Sophie jumped to the side and avoided the bluish-purple organ that crashed to the ground with a dull thump.
She had no way of knowing at the time but as soon as she pulled out the organ, every head on the giant’s body coughed out flecks of blood.
“What is…is…happening?” the middle head groaned in agony as blood begun to leak out of its ears.
“Why… aren’t we healing?” another head cried out as a painful throbbing sensation could be felt in its chest.
Sophie’s poison had finally reached the giant’s heart.
The noxious mixture of five deadly poisons had travelled through the creature’s circulatory system causing damage wherever they passed.
The walls of the giant’s heart were instantly corroded by the toxic liquid and the venom begun to attach to the organelles inside.
Listera’s tears calcified the oxygen transport system while the Basliereea blood, Latusa sap, Serpentine venom and Xreane’s concoction sent the heart into anaphylactic shock.
The so- called ‘god of destruction’ did not even have any time to react as each of the heads made a simultaneous gasping noise.
They all tried desperately to breathe not knowing that the poison hidden inside their body had reached the lungs as well.
It was a total organ failure.
In a last-ditch attempt, the giant tried to gather destructive KI energy at its fingertips and launch an attack on its own knee regardless of the consequences.
Thin red wisps of scarlet energy gathered above the giant’s middle and pinky fingers, but it was now too late.
With a choking whimper, the colossal behemoth that had ruled this small world for eons fell backwards to never rise again.
The yellowish-white pus bubbled up around the damaged organs and attempted to repair them, but the creature was long dead.
Sophie was slammed against a nearby flesh wall as the giant fell to the ground and got up with a painful grunt.
She stumbled her way towards the organ that had attracted her attention but a sudden bolt from her danger sense snapped her out of this strange state.
Sophie quickly placed her hand on the organ and transferred it to her storage bag before turning around to run.
She used her bladed appendages to carve out a new hole on the surface of the giant’s skin and burst out of its body like a parasite.
Sophie’s entire body was covered in a mixture of blood, ooze, mucus, and pus.
She smelled horrible and the bloodthirsty expression on her face would send chills down the spine of anyone who saw her figure.
Her danger instincts were still flaring up, so Sophie hurriedly jumped off the giant’s knee and took a few steps backwards.
Was the creature still alive?
Sophie hesitantly moved towards a nearby grove of trees and hid behind the tall bushes for a few minutes.
She cautiously looked up to the sky for any floating eyeballs but saw nothing except clouds merrily floating along in the breeze.
The titanic creature was over twenty feet in height, so Sophie had to walk along the length of its gigantic frame in order to confirm its death.
As Sophie crept through the forest floor, she discovered that the thousands of floating eyeballs now lay on the ground motionless.
Their pupils were glazed over and there was a scent of death wafting up from their corpses.
Joy filled Sophie’s heart as she was now cautiously optimistic that her venom was enough to finish the giant off.
Her footsteps gradually got faster and faster until she was almost at a sprint. The many faces of the giant gradually came into view.
Sophie slowed down as she saw the corpse of a god.
Each of the faces had various expression of shock and fear.
Even at the last moment, they could not understand how a mortal had managed to defeat a divine being.
Sophie stood silently with a complex mood in her heart. There was equal parts happiness and a sense of accomplish but a bitter emotion lay beneath her good mood.
She was reminded once more how dangerous the world she lived in truly was.
No one knew if their next fight would be their last.
She still needed to face the captain in the near future but at least her limbs had now fully regenerated.
Wait… weren’t her injuries still present in the vision of the future?
No… maybe she had changed the series of events leading to the fight already.
Sophie frowned in contemplation but gradually shifted her focus on the present.
She noticed that her danger sense that had been constantly ringing in her mind had gotten worse as she approached the giant’s corpse.
Where was the threat coming from?
Sophie took a quick glance at the surrounding area and saw thin red wisps of energy dancing around the fingertips of the giant.
These tiny wisps were from the god’s last desperate attempt to launch an attack.
Sophie cautiously took a couple of steps backwards and stared at the scarlet energy that moved around in a mesmerizing pattern.
Without anyone to control them, the thin wisps of energy plunged into the now still body of the giant.
Sophie watched as the corpse of the god gradually crumbled to dust piece by piece until there was nothing left.
If she were still inside its body… she would have also been killed by the destructive energy.
Soon the only thing that remained from the once powerful being was the large crater in the ground where it fell.
Sophie remained by the outer area of the crater motionlessly.
Her hair was caked with dried blood and now she only felt sticky and uncomfortable.
Bleep! Bleep!
A loud ringing noise suddenly blared out from an unknown location and soon a floating wall of green text appeared in her vision.
