Chapter 394: Can't Win? Call the Wife.
As the first trace of darkness born from the universe, it possessed absolute supremacy—whether in strength or in status.
If not for the interference of the universe's origin will back then, it wouldn't just be Kong who wouldn't exist—even the entire divine realm would have never come into being.
As the two figures clashed, boundless darkness and thunder converged in the sky.
One side embodied ultimate darkness. The other, the purest and most formidable thunder. But both shared a fatal flaw—they had yet to reach the peak of their current lives.
The black mist, still suffering from injuries accumulated over countless years, was further limited by the body it now inhabited—Tang San's body, which was merely at the Soul Douluo level. There was no way for it to unleash its full power.
Kong, though unharmed and possessing a physique far beyond Tang San's, was still too young, and had only recently become a god. From the very start, the outcome of this battle had already been decided.
Meanwhile, not long after the fight began, Bibi Dong, the Rakshasa God, and the Sea God Yu Yuanzhen arrived at the scene.
"Is that... Tang San?"
Seeing the figure ahead, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes went wide with disbelief. "What the hell? Where did that brat get this kind of power?"
"No idea."
Bibi Dong shook her head slightly, her enchanting eyes narrowing. After a brief silence, she said, "I don't know why, but in front of this darkness, I can't summon the slightest will to resist."
As the Rakshasa God, she governed resentment and evil in the world. Though this differed greatly from absolute darkness, her domain had ultimately splintered off from that very origin—albeit across many divisions.
This was only natural. Though powerful, the Rakshasa God's strength depended on her opponent. Among first-rank gods, almost none could defeat her one-on-one. But against a God King, there was no contest at all.
Even goddesses like Life and Kindness, who weren't known for combat, were leagues beyond what first-rank gods could ever challenge.
In front of the black mist, even the former Dragon God and the entire divine realm combined were no match. It had come within a breath of devouring them all. So for Bibi Dong, newly ascended, to feel overwhelmed—this was entirely reasonable.
"That kid is really this strong?"
Hearing the woman beside him analyze the situation, Yu Yuanzhen's expression grew grave. If he remembered correctly, Tang San had only recently reached Soul Douluo. Yet now, he stood equal with a God King. It was as shocking as it was baffling.
"He probably isn't actually that strong."
Bibi Dong shook her head again. Her flawless face turned serious. "He doesn't have that level of power. I suspect he encountered some opportunity here in the Far North... or perhaps made a deal with some powerful, unknown God King."
Under their watchful gaze, the battle ahead reached a fever pitch.
"Divine Technique—Heaven-Crushing Thunder!"
Kong stomped his right foot, lightning flashing in both eyes. As he slashed his right hand downward, the sky was torn open. A crimson thunderbolt, surging with a bloodline's might, descended from the heavens like divine judgment—aimed to destroy all evil.
Heavenly Thunder was already the most suppressive force against evil in all the world. And this was no ordinary lightning—it was blood thunder, countless times more powerful.
"As expected of the God King of Thunder. If given time to reach the realm I once stood in—you just might."
Feeling the arrival of that extreme thunder, the black mist spoke with calm admiration. Then, the origin power around its body surged even more violently.
"Darkness Origin—Abyssal Fall of Heaven's Gate!"
As the words fell, a surge of violent dark origin erupted, forming a shield that completely blocked the incoming heavenly thunder.
"We're going in too!"
In the distance, upon seeing the stalemate, Yu Yuanzhen didn't hesitate. He immediately drew the Sea God Trident.
"Golden Thirteen Tridents—First Form: Unstable Tempest!"
As Yu Yuanzhen swung the trident, three blue rings forged from Sea God divine power shot forward at great speed toward the enemy.
"Divine Technique—Curse of Calamity!"
Seeing this, Bibi Dong no longer held back either. Her very first move was a divine technique.
Now that the three of them were bound by fate, if they didn't go all out and ended up losing, she dared not imagine what Tang San would do to them afterward.
She didn't know where this brat had gained such power, but there was no time to think. The priority now was to strike him down—kill him first, ask questions later.
"What a nuisance."
Sensing two more joining the fray, the black mist's eyes narrowed. With a burst of force, it shattered the three rings surrounding it and freed its hands to deal with the new opponents.
"What the hell!"
Seeing their techniques so effortlessly blown apart, both Yu Yuanzhen and Bibi Dong were stunned.
Only now did they truly grasp the gap between a first-rank god and a God King.
No wonder the true Rakshasa God had once instructed her to obtain and refine the Asura God's inheritance—if successful, even the originally first-rank Rakshasa God might ascend to the level of a God King.
"Your opponent is me!"
Realizing the situation had turned bad, Kong's face darkened. Divine power burst from his hands like it cost nothing, pouring toward the enemy in a relentless assault.
Even as a God King, he found it hard to suppress this foe. How could first-rank gods like Yu Yuanzhen and Bibi Dong hope to win?
Truth be told, even now, he still didn't understand how Tang San had partnered with something like this.
No matter its identity or power, this being was far beyond the reach of a failure like Tang San.
Even if Tang San possessed so-called destiny or fate energy, it seemed to have no effect before this entity. The gap in strength was too vast—fate energy didn't even register.
So what was it about Tang San that such a powerful being had chosen?
Lost in thought, Kong decided not to hold back anymore.
Since he couldn't defeat the enemy or kill him outright, it was time to call for help.
"Wife Ei, come help me out. I think I'm losing here."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt a little embarrassed. Everyone else had wives calling their husbands when they were in trouble—how did it end up reversed for him?
But that feeling only lasted a second. After all, being able to rely on his wife was a skill in itself. Who said a husband had to be stronger than his wife? He refused! He'd rely on her with pride!
"Yes, dear!"
A cold yet pleasant voice rang out.
Then, space behind Kong was violently torn apart.
Under everyone's gaze, a graceful figure in a flowing purple dress stepped out from within the rift.
Ei—had returned to the battlefield.
