The Fall of the Mother of Flesh and the Slaying of a God with Bare Hands

"So this is possible too…"

Rosen casually tossed aside the Forbidden Curse Painting in his hand as it spontaneously ignited.

Until now, the only known way to remove a Forbidden Curse was to tear apart the painting.

But to his surprise, the Flesh Mother had found another method.

She sealed and compressed the Death Curse within her body, then severed the cursed portion of her flesh along with a fragment of her divine essence, and burned it away using divine fire. Though this permanently weakened her, it completely rid her of the Forbidden Curse.

Where there is a spear, there is always a shield.

There was no such thing as an absolute, unbreakable ability in this world.

Though Rosen had discovered a second way to break a Forbidden Curse, he wasn't concerned about Bruno and the others escaping from theirs.

The reason was simple—permanently discarding divine essence was no trivial matter.

To rid herself of the Forbidden Curse, the Flesh Mother had nearly fallen from True God to mere Deity.

Bruno and the others had struggled so hard to ascend to True God status—there was no way they would willingly revert to Deity-level. Besides, once divine essence weakened, it would become impossible to fully control their True God's divinity.

They had no reason to take such a reckless risk.

Besides, once they eliminated the True Gods of the World Government, Rosen would lift their Death Curse anyway.

More importantly, the Forbidden Curse Paintings Rosen had created for Bruno and the others were painted using their own divine essence.

The entanglement between the Death Curse and their divine essence was far stronger than what had been inflicted on the Flesh Mother.

Rosen had assumed that the Flesh Mother would be severely weakened after losing a portion of her divine essence.

Yet, within moments, her divine essence had already recovered.

It was only then that Rosen realized—the Flesh Mother possessed an ability similar to the Flesh Inferno Fruit, allowing her to convert her life force into divine essence.

Of course True Gods aren't that easy to deal with.

This battle was far from over.

Rosen gestured, and the Dragon-Binding Chain uncoiled from the Flesh Mother, returning to his hand.

As time passed, even though the Flesh Mother's Laws remained suppressed, preventing her from projecting their power externally, she still managed to forcefully shift from her Fire Dragon form back into a massive flesh sphere.

Once she fully reverted, the Dragon-Binding Chain might not even be able to restrain her anymore.

Rather than risk it snapping, he decided to withdraw it now, allowing himself more freedom to act.

Rosen's Azure Dragon Clone remained focused on manipulating World Laws, pouring everything into reinforcing the Flesh World Fruit's dimensional barrier—otherwise, he feared it wouldn't withstand a full-scale battle between True Gods.

Meanwhile, his Bronze Dragon Clone remained inside the Mysterious Study Room, continuing to paint another Forbidden Curse Painting, locking onto the Flesh Mother to inflict a second Death Curse.

If she stripped away one curse, he would simply apply another.

Now that his main body no longer needed to maintain the Dragon-Binding Chain, Rosen immediately raised Dragon God's Wrath and locked onto the Flesh Mother, firing a relentless barrage of shots.

At one point, he even intentionally let a flesh tendril strike him, sending him flying.

As his body slammed into the distance, he activated Retribution Judgment, massively amplifying his damage output.

At the same time, he activated Unforgivable Sin, distorting Order and rewriting the definition of Sin.

Although the Flesh Mother had slaughtered countless lives, from the World's perspective, she wasn't necessarily a sinner—in fact, she might have contributed immensely to maintaining the world's balance.

After all, Evil Gods were scapegoats, absorbing corrupted Laws so that the World itself wouldn't be tainted.

In this sense, the World might even consider the Flesh Mother's existence to be beneficial rather than evil.

Thus, in the World's eyes, slaughtering lives wasn't a crime—instead, it was the mortal beings who were the true destroyers of the World.

But now, Rosen rewrote the Laws, denying the Flesh Mother's contributions.

In the next moment, the World itself rejected her existence.

Evil Gods did not cleanse polluted Laws without aid from the Main World.

Aside from being favored by the Main World and causing the world's rejection upon their deaths, the Main World also granted them an exceptionally powerful innate destiny.

In most cases, an Evil God's total innate destiny was at least twice that of any other True God.

Half of this extra innate destiny, granted by the Main World, served a singular purpose—to suppress the corrupted Laws within the Core of the Evil God.

The reason some Evil Gods managed to regain their intelligence was because they could slowly erode the corruption within their core by leveraging the power of destiny.

Now, by rewriting Order, Rosen denied the Flesh Mother's contributions as an Evil God.

At that moment, half of the innate destiny bestowed by the Main World was instantly stripped from the Flesh Mother's control.

The corruption within the Evil God Core, no longer restrained, broke free from the remaining half of her destiny's suppression, forcing the Flesh Mother to use her own personal half of innate destiny to seal it.

Now that all of her destiny was used to contain the Evil God Core's corruption, her divine essence had completely lost the protection of destiny.

At the True God level, innate destiny could directly shield a True God from harm against their divine essence.

Previously, the Flesh Mother's ability to suppress the Death Curse had relied on the power of her destiny.

It was only now that Rosen realized—True Gods could actually harness their innate destiny as a tangible force.

But now, with her divine essence completely exposed, the bullets from Dragon God's Wrath, empowered by the Godslayer skill, began dealing direct, true damage to her divine essence.

Though the difference in power between them meant the damage wasn't overwhelming, even the weakest stream of water could erode stone over time.

Rosen's relentless chain of attacks finally forced the Flesh Mother into retaliation.

Her form twisted, morphing into a gigantic, grotesque eyeball of flesh.

The moment its gaze fell upon him, his entire body instantly succumbed to uncontrollable flesh mutations—within seconds, five additional arms burst from his torso, and before he could react, they turned against him.

His own hands restrained him, his neck was seized in an iron grip, and the remaining two arms twisted violently, attempting to snap his spine.

Rosen was unable to dispel the flesh mutations taking over his body.

He had no choice but to activate the Divine Authority of the Seventh Sense— "Momentary Timeflow."

In an instant, his physical state reverted to what it had been before the mutations took hold.

Without hesitation, he flashed through the void, retreating to long-range distance for safer sniping.

Though his rate of fire was now significantly reduced, the extra distance ensured his safety.

While Rosen escaped, Albert was not as fortunate.

His entire Divine Kingdom was constructed from mechanical metal, yet to his horror, layers of writhing flesh began growing over the surface of his Titan Mech form.

In the critical moment, Bruno's symphony engulfed Albert, using Death Curses to eradicate the spreading flesh covering the Titan Mech.

Albert barely survived, but now, the Flesh Mother's focus shifted toward Bruno instead.

Before she could strike, Albert stepped in front of Bruno, taking the full brunt of all the Flesh Mother's curses in his stead.

By coordinating their abilities, they successfully neutralized the Flesh Mother's Death Curse.

However, this also left them unable to launch any attacks, forcing Connie to take over as the main offensive force.

Using her Battle Dance, Connie weaved through the void, shifting through shadows, melding into the earth, and even phasing through various energy fields and matter itself.

She never stayed still long enough for the Flesh Mother to lock onto her, attacking from unpredictable angles, delivering relentless, continuous damage.

Since the Flesh Curses had no effect, the Flesh Mother swiftly initiated another transformation.

This time, she morphed into a wolf—the Devouring Star Demon Wolf, a born deity-level transcendent lifeform and the strongest creature she had ever consumed.

Her previous sluggish movements instantly became blindingly fast, making her nearly impossible to track.

She could devour any attack aimed at her to heal injuries, and with pure brute strength, she swatted the Titan Mech away with a single claw.

Then, in the blink of an eye, her body expanded, and she swallowed the Titan Mech whole.

Albert's giant sword immediately transformed, shifting into a dual-ended spear, wedging itself between the Devouring Star Demon Wolf's upper and lower jaws.

Yet in the next moment, the wolf's stomach rippled unnaturally—her entire head retracted into her abdomen before she regrew a new wolf head, effectively trapping the Titan Mech inside her stomach.

Though violent explosions kept erupting from within her abdomen, Albert's Titan Mech failed to break free.

Meanwhile, the Demon Wolf's speed had already surpassed Connie's, forcing her into pure defense with little chance to counterattack.

Seeing that Connie could not be taken down quickly, the Demon Wolf suddenly turned and lunged at Bruno.

Seated at his Transcendent Grand Piano, Bruno's fingers instantly shifted the melody to the War Overture, summoning all the transcendent troops within his Divine Kingdom.

A massive War Barrier enveloped his orchestra, and with preparation, a Musician had no weaknesses.

Previously, Albert and Connie had been leading the offense, consuming most of their divine power.

Now that Bruno, who had only played a supportive role, was fully unleashing his power, his War Overture gradually materialized into a colossal War Behemoth, even larger than the Demon Wolf itself.

The two giant beasts clashed in a brutal melee, tearing into each other.

The War Behemoth was forged from faith and divine essence—it could heal instantly after being wounded.

Meanwhile, the Devouring Star Demon Wolf, as the Flesh Mother's transformation, boasted insane regenerative abilities, recovering from any injury in mere moments.

For half an hour, they rampaged across the battlefield, shattering large sections of the Flesh World Fruit's inner realm.

Yet despite the devastation, both beasts appeared unscathed on the surface.

The only sign of exhaustion was that both of their bodies had noticeably shrunk, proof that their battle had been a massive drain on their strength.

Ultimately, Bruno was the first to falter, forced to retreat to the outskirts of the battlefield, switching his music back to a supportive role.

With Bruno pulling back, Connie re-entered the fray, engaging the Demon Wolf once again.

As Rosen continued his long-range sniping, he realized he had underestimated Bruno and the others.

It was well-known that three Gold Sequence demi-gods ascending to divinity could hold their own against an ordinary True God.

The Flesh Mother was no ordinary True God, but Bruno and the others were also stronger than normal Gold Sequence demi-gods.

As Forbidden Sequences, they had surpassed the limits of regular Gold Sequences, and on top of that, they had also advanced to Sequence 0 as Nobles.

Although they could not overpower the Flesh Mother, forcing a mutual defeat was well within reach.

Moreover, the Flesh Mother had already suffered a severe beating from the two Dragon Gods, then had a significant amount of her divine essence drained by the Binding Dragon Cord.

Now, against a weakened Flesh Mother, Bruno's team actually had a chance of winning.

However, merely defeating the Flesh Mother was not enough—unless they were willing to die with her, killing her outright would still be impossible.

This was why Rosen's preparations weren't unnecessary.

Once both sides were crippled, it would be his turn to strike.

Receiving Albert's signal, Connie immediately unleashed her full power.

Bruno's Divine Kingdom, in the form of a massive concert hall, excelled in defense, but lacked explosive offense.

Albert's Divine Kingdom, though balanced in attack and defense, was actually most proficient in mass-producing troops.

Since he had only recently ascended, Albert had not yet had enough time to fully develop his forces, making him the weakest of the three for now.

Then, there was Connie—her Divine Kingdom was designed purely for extreme offense.

Her Divine Kingdom could freely ascend or descend dimensions.

At this moment, she reduced it to a single-dimensional line, compressing the entire power of her Divine Kingdom into a single thread.

Although it appeared as just a thin line, it carried unparalleled cutting force and terrifying durability.

At this moment, the thread in Connie's hands wove intricate patterns in the void as she moved at blinding speeds with her Battle Dance.

At the same time, the Devouring Star Demon Wolf's limbs and head were unconsciously following Connie's movements, its massive body mirroring her dance.

By the time the web of countless interwoven threads had fully formed, the Demon Wolf was already suspended in midair, its entire body sliced open by the razor-sharp strands.

The deepest cuts were at its abdomen, and seizing the opportunity, the Titan Mech's hands transformed into circular saws, tearing open the wolf's stomach and breaking free.

Nearly one-third of the Titan Mech's body had already begun mutating into flesh, but instead of retreating, it split open its chest cavity, revealing the Deicide Elemental Cannon hidden within.

The cannon had been charging for hours, and now, with unstoppable force, it fired a concentrated elemental beam, blasting directly into the Demon Wolf's neck.

The beam gradually disintegrated the flesh, burning deeper and deeper—until finally, it pierced through and severed the wolf's head entirely.

However, countless flesh tendrils sprouted from the severed stump, trying to reattach the head before it could be lost.

At that moment, the Titan Mech shifted into a Void Star Gate, generating a black hole within its depths.

No matter how much the severed head struggled, it was ultimately dragged into the black hole, sealed away within Albert's Divine Kingdom.

"That's enough. Go assist Albert in sealing the Flesh Mother's avatars."

Rosen's command instantly reached Connie and the others.

Though somewhat puzzled, none of them questioned his orders.

Rosen, manipulating the Flesh Law, controlled the land within the Flesh World Fruit, making it move like a living entity, swallowing Albert's Divine Kingdom underground.

The final battle would be his trump card, a secret so great that even Connie and the others couldn't be allowed to know—otherwise, they would have to die.

By now, the Imaginary Dragon, fully recovered, had unleashed its Law Domain, clashing head-on with the Flesh Mother's own Law Domain.

A God versus a True God, yet the Imaginary Dragon was holding its ground.

Part of this was because the Flesh Mother had been weakened to less than half her peak strength, but another reason was that the Imaginary Dragon now wielded its own Law.

After ascending to Sequence 0, Rosen had entrusted the Yunmeng Grotto-Heaven to the Imaginary Dragon, granting it control over the Yunmeng Law.

Although this Law was unrecognized in the current Era of the Ancient Gods, within the World Tree, it was on par with the Flesh Law.

Moreover, with the World Tree's influence, the Flesh Mother's Law was unable to draw power from the Main World, further limiting her abilities.

At this moment, the Imaginary Dragon materialized a colossal Devouring Star Demon Wolf formed entirely of mist, engaging in a vicious duel with the Flesh Mother's transformed Demon Wolf.

For three straight hours, they battled fiercely, until the Imaginary Dragon was too drained to continue, and the Flesh Mother's strength had plummeted to only 30% of her peak.

Seeing his chance, Rosen strode toward the Flesh Mother, his Ancient God's Heart pounding violently.

Inside his Ancient God's Aperture, the ocean of blood rapidly receded, feeding into his body.

Upon activating his Ancient God's True Form, Rosen's body expanded to ten thousand miles in height, towering over even the Flesh Mother herself.

He then activated his Royal Authority Divine Kingdom, leveraging the World Domain to tear open the Flesh Mother's weakened Law Domain.

Thanks to Vengeance Judgment, his power was already significantly amplified.

Now, Rosen activated the Barbaric Will of the Miracle Ember.

The Miracle Ember transformed into Barbaric Ember, devouring his rationality and unleashing pure, unbridled power.

In an instant, his strength surged from Sequence 2 to Sequence 0—

And not just any Sequence 0—he had reached the absolute pinnacle of a Forbidden Sequence True God.

And it wasn't just an ordinary True God level—it was the absolute peak of a Forbidden Sequence True God.

Losing all reason, Rosen instinctively lunged at the Flesh Mother, grabbing her newly regenerated wolf head with one hand.

With terrifying brute force, he crushed the wolf's skull with his bare hands.

Flesh and blood, compressed under his monstrous grip, burst apart at extreme speed, turning the entire inner world of the Flesh World Fruit into a raining storm of blood.

At the same time, the predatory mode of the Flesh Law, which Rosen had set in advance, automatically activated.

The entire flesh world inside the Flesh World Fruit came alive, using the old Flesh Law to devour the shattered divine body of the Flesh Mother, to consume the new Flesh Law, and to fuse both into an even stronger Flesh Law.

Rosen, completely frenzied, used both his hands and his teeth as weapons.

With unmatched savagery, he tore and bit into the Flesh Mother.

The flesh he devoured tried to parasitize him—some successfully took root, while others were chewed into pulp and swallowed, consumed entirely by his Gluttonous Stomach.

Even more shredded flesh was scattered across the battlefield, swiftly absorbed by the Flesh World.

No matter how hard the Flesh Mother struggled, in her weakened state, she was powerless before Rosen's relentless onslaught.

Finally, sensing imminent death, the Flesh Mother, driven to desperation, instinctively chose mutual destruction.

She ignited her Divine Fire, setting her entire divine body ablaze, turning herself into a raging inferno of annihilation.

But at that moment, the delayed activation of Rosen's Royal Authority Divine Kingdom took effect—

And with it, the Royal Decree that forbade suicide within the Royal Authority Domain.

At her peak, the Flesh Mother could have overpowered this decree with her Laws.

But now, cornered and broken, she could only thrash helplessly, trapped by the decree as Rosen tore her apart piece by piece.

With his enemy reduced to nothing, Rosen finally regained clarity—

And immediately collapsed, utterly drained.

A tide of flesh surged up, dragging him underground.

The flesh began stripping away the parasitic remnants of the Flesh Mother's flesh that had latched onto his body, while also repairing his injuries and suppressing the Divine Fire and the divine core holding the two Laws.

Days later, after fully recovering, Rosen regrouped with Albert and the others to completely exterminate the wolf-head avatar that the Flesh Mother had split off.

Only at this moment could it be said—

The Flesh Mother was truly on the brink of death.

Rosen then used his Forbidden Curse Painting, channeling a relentless stream of Death Curses into the Flesh Mother's divine core, targeting her remaining divine essence.

Bit by bit, he ground it down—until, finally, the Evil God Flesh Mother was completely slain.

Defeating the Flesh Mother wasn't hard.

But killing her? That was nearly impossible.

The Flesh Mother was insane, but not stupid.

When faced with true mortal danger, she would escape—

And even if she couldn't run, her divine body was nearly indestructible, and tracking down her hidden divine core was an almost impossible feat.

Throughout history, the Flesh Mother had been sealed away many times—

But in the end, she always managed to break free.

This time, Rosen had succeeded in slaying her, for two reasons:

First, he had used the World Tree's power to completely trap her, giving her no means of escape.

Second, the Flesh Law within the Flesh World Fruit had the highest efficiency in consuming and eroding the Flesh Mother's divine body.

Without the old Flesh Law, killing her would have been at least ten times harder.

No matter how many shortcuts were taken—

A victory was still a victory.

Inside Rosen's Royal Authority Treasury, five new black loot spheres had appeared.

Crushing them revealed:

A complete Divine Core.

A True God-level Miracle Artifact, guaranteed to drop.

A True God-tier Fae Artifact.

A massive trove of Divine Essence Crystals.

And lastly—

A True God-level Miracle Skill Crystal.
