"So it is you."

An ancient, billowing voice transmitted from the beast, causing space to quake at its ferocity. The beast didn't open its mouth, nor did it use a mental transmission.

Its thoughts had been directly imposed onto and manifested into reality. This was a level of fusion with the universe that none present had come close to reaching.

This discovery immediately caused those Demigods' eyes to harden. Whether or not the group of them could win this battle was completely unknown. Frankly, they weren't too hopeful of their chances.

Damien was different from them. While these Demigods were so focused on the ramifications behind the voice, Damien's mind was shaken by the words themselves.

This beast was staring at him. He could feel its terrifying gaze, its deathly aura that surrounded his body.

"You, who carry His scent. I have been awaiting your arrival for eons."

The beast spoke once more. As its body finished unraveling to its full length, a shining blue object was revealed.

Damien's eyes widened.

This was a World Core, there was no doubt about it. Suddenly, Damien began to understand why the world remained unnamed despite the history it had.

Because it was never truly a world in the first place.

The Space Beast's words were few, but they carried monstrous intent. It was like Damien was being told the secrets of the universe in those few words alone.

He understood.

He didn't know how long the Space Beast had been alive, but it couldn't have been a short time. At some point, it had found out about the fact that Damien would be born into the Human Domain. After that, it found a world at the start of its formation and took it as its nest, laying in slumber until an entire world formed around its body!

To call this beast massive was an understatement. Even compared to some smaller worlds like Earth, it was much bigger.

"The inheritance of the God of Heaven, 500,000 years of waiting, it will finally be mine."

The beast's eyes flashed. Without warning, its massive tail shot out like a meteor.

"Dodge!" Tian Yang roared. In that instant, the Demigods scattered.

But compared to its size, the tail was incredibly fast. With the distance between the group and the beast being over 100,000 kilometers, it was able to show off its capabilities perfectly.

BOOOOOOOOM!

Space ruptured everywhere the stinger passed. In what felt like only a few seconds, the massive visage of the tail was already at the group's previous location.

BANG!

The stinger pierced through space, creating a cavity that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers into the distance.

"Get in formation! Surround it! Cut off its tail first!" Tian Yang's voice roared through space.

Immediately, the remaining Demigods complied with his command. With the forces of the Human Domain's main worlds and Shadow Garden combined, the total number of Demigods had reached 12.

They rushed in without hesitation. Against a beast of this size, that was their best option. Besides, aiming for the tail wasn't a random decision.

Tian Yang's battle sense far surpassed Damien's. In that instant the tail was used to attack, he'd deduced many things.

For instance, while the tail was certainly powerful, its power mainly relied on penetrative force. Its movements themselves needed time to gain enough momentum to become heaven-shaking.

Otherwise, the beast would've used its tail to directly pierce through the world and destroy it instantly instead of waiting for the opportune moment to burst it apart.

Compared to the raw brute strength of its legs, the tail was a far safer attack target.

12 Demigods used various methods to speed in close to where the beast was, but when they arrived within 10,000 kilometers of it, they found their movements becoming strange.

Tian Yang frowned. Right, a Space Beast was the closest existence to an embodiment of space itself. Even if it didn't personally move, space would instinctively protect it like a living thing.

For these Demigods, facing it would be incredibly difficult.

Tian Yang gritted his teeth and charged forward, galvanizing his own Space Laws to carve a path forward. His speed increased rapidly, his wake being left a clear path for others to follow.

The remaining Demigods instantly understood his intent. However, it was an unrealistic dream. The tunnel Tian Yang created began rapidly closing in an instant, repairing itself to peak condition.

Suddenly, a figure appeared within the tunnel. His arms spread out like an eagle, pitch-black mana flaring from his body.

With his presence, the bent space stabilized once more.

"Go! Don't hesitate!" Damien roared. He didn't care if he was talking to people far more powerful than him anymore. Keeping this tunnel open for a few seconds was the limit of his current capabilities.

To a Demigod, however, a few seconds was more than enough time. Damien only felt gusts of Spatial Essence whip around his body as the speed of those Demigods caused it to chaotically stir.

He teleported away right after. This fight wasn't something he could interfere in, he could only watch from the side.

These Demigods, aside from the ones who personally knew Damien, didn't even know that they were fighting to protect him.

It was his fault that this Space Beast appeared in the first place.

He already knew that space and time were intrinsically connected. For a Space Beast to divine his future existence wasn't too strange given this one's power.

The only thing Damien was confused about was the so-called "God of Heaven."

On Damien's body, only the Void Physique held the qualifications to entice a character like this beast. But what connection did it have to this God of Heaven?

Damien was extremely curious. He felt that he found another avenue to learn the secrets of his physique, the other one being the Nox.

But that was only if he could survive through this incident. If those Demigods couldn't last…

He shook his head and returned his attention to the fight. Not even a few seconds had passed, but the Demigods already arrived close to the beast.

At this time, it finally acknowledged their presence.

"Minor creations attack me…me, the Envoy of God…unacceptable!"

A terrific pressure spread from its body, forcefully increasing the intensity of the surrounding force field. At the same time, its tail whipped out once more.

"Blood Emperor, get out of the way!" The Drunken Old Immortal yelled.

The Blood Emperor, the Demigod from Bloodland, rapidly revolved his mana without hesitation, turning his mortal body into a sea of blood that rapidly waded through space and escaped.

But even then, he wasn't able to completely avoid the massive stinger. As it struck out and collapsed the surrounding space, a fourth of the blood sea was exiled to the void. When the Blood Emperor coagulated into physical form again, his face was pale and his aura shaky.

He'd been seriously wounded in a single hit.

Nobody pitied his state, though. The remaining 11 Demigods used the opportunity created by the attack to rush at the tail, barraging it with various flashes of Laws!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions rang out constantly and impacted the tail with fierce momentum that caused frightening fluctuations to spread out, but compared to the size of the beast their attacks looked small.

This wasn't their fault at all. If they were able to show their full capabilities, even with this beast's tough body, it wouldn't be able to resist their attacks.

After all, the beast wasn't a True God yet. It was only at the peak of Demigod realm, the only fact making survival a viable outcome.

The problem lay in the fact that they were heavily suppressed under the beast's forcefield. Only Tian Yang could show something similar to his full strength.

But he chose not to. Seeing that the attacks weren't having their intended effects, Tian Yang drew back and spread his mana. His hands flitted through the air, drawing up 11 runic symbols that then shot into the bodies of the surrounding Demigods.

The pressure on them instantly lessened. Tian Yang was clearly using his power to support them instead of attacking.

"Petty tricks." The beast scoffed with disdain. This was his domain! Nobody but him could rule this space!

Space began to contort once again, causing the Demigods' complexions to turn ugly.

The battle had only started, yet they were at such a severe disadvantage…was this truly a fight they could win?
