My Divine Beasts Are Really Not Evil Gods-Chapter 78: Tyrannical Mouse Heavenly Emperor

"How could this be…"
Xiao Bing stared blankly at the approaching Stitched Demon, his mind replaying Old Zhang's voice from just moments ago. He had been chattering on about family matters, boasting about his wife, and looking forward to earning enough to buy his daughter a gift on his return, and yet now…
He had died right in front of him, even thinking of letting them escape first before he died!
Such a kind man who loved life had died at the hands of a demonic beast.
Died in the Wilderness!
Xiao Bing's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He clenched his fists and roared:
"I'll kill it!"
"Calm down!" Old Xu stopped Xiao Bing from rushing out.
Holding back his tears, he gritted his teeth and said, "We still don't know if this is an ordinary Stitched Demon or one from the Flesh Wing Demon Thief Group. If it's the latter, we can only run.
Otherwise, we'll all die here, and who will take care of Old Zhang's wife and child then!"
The more Old Xu spoke, the angrier he became, his voice nearly a roar by the end.
It wasn't that he was a coward, afraid to avenge his brother.
It was because Stitched Demons were not native demonic beasts born in the Wilderness, but a group of monsters transformed from humans.
The first Stitched Demons appeared over a decade ago when a group of vicious criminals escaped prison and fled into the Wilderness.
But since most of them were not Beast Tamers—and even the few who were had long been stripped of their pet beasts—they had lost their transcendent abilities and were no different from ordinary people.
Having left human society, they had no means of survival in the dangerous wilds and could become food for demonic beasts at any moment.
But returning meant facing even harsher imprisonment, or even on-the-spot execution.
At that moment, however, their leader claimed to have received a revelation from an Ancient God.
He then led everyone in a bloody ritual, transforming them all into a brand-new type of demonic beast—the Stitched Demon!
Although they lost their Beast Taming Space, they gained a special flesh-based ability—Limb Grafting!
A Stitched Demon could graft parts of other creatures onto its own body, fusing with and using the power contained within the flesh to gain strength and a long life.
This was a shortcut to power, faster than becoming a Beast Tamer.
Not only could they survive in the wild, but they could also become Transcendent Creatures, which thrilled them to no end.
However, fate's boon had long since been marked with a price.
They soon discovered that the grafted flesh would rot at a rate several, or even dozens of times, faster than normal. If they didn't replenish it with fresh flesh in time, they would be twisted by the mutually rejecting powers of the flesh.
Their own bones and consciousness would also rot away, until they became nothing but a pile of sludge that only knew how to consume.
But if they could continuously replenish themselves with new flesh, even grafting the bodies of other creatures or even transcendent demonic beasts, they would gain unparalleled combat power.
But fighting Transcendent Creatures carried the risk of death. As criminals who wanted to live but dared not take risks, they took their despicable nature to the extreme.
They set their sights on the weak yet spiritually potent humans, viewing their former kin as food, consumables for their longevity.
Thus, they often plundered merchant caravans and small adventure groups in the Wilderness, even breaching villages and towns to carry out mass slaughters, taking human limbs and calling themselves the 【Flesh Wing Demon Thief Group】.
The name implied that with flesh and blood gathered from all beings, they would form wings of freedom and ascend to the heavens!
A flesh and blood ascension!
The reason Stitched Demons appeared in the wild was that the leader of the Demon Thief Group had spread the transformation ritual free of charge.
This wasn't because he was some selfless do-gooder, of course, but to absorb more fresh blood and create some targets to draw the Alliance's fire.
The weak were killed, while the strong who survived were eligible to join them.
They succeeded!
Because of human greed, many chose to become Stitched Demons for power or longevity, leading to a large number of malignant incidents every year.
And 【Wings of Flesh and Blood】 used this opportunity to grow stronger over the past decade, becoming a tyrannical evil force.
Its leader had grafted the bodies of numerous powerful transcendent demonic beasts, his strength infinitely close to the Morning Star Rank.
Facing them meant certain death.
Old Xu glanced at the Stitched Demon ahead and saw no sign of the black and red flesh-wing pattern on its body.
"No tattoo. It's probably not a member of the Wings of Flesh and Blood.
And judging by its aura, it's a wild, high-tier Elite Stitched Demon!"
Old Xu breathed a sigh of relief, flames of hatred surging in his eyes. The others were also boiling with killing intent.
High-tier Elite. It wasn't like they'd never killed one before!
So, everyone got out of the vehicle, unfurled their Beast Taming Formations, and summoned their pet beasts.
The Swift Wind Dog, Rock Giant Frog, Vine Rabbit, and Xiao Bing's Electric Light Horse appeared.
The crew-cut youth in the group of four, Wang Yu, issued a command:
"Swift Wind Dog, use Wind Blade!"
The Swift Wind Dog, which resembled a wolf-dog and was wreathed in air currents, condensed several half-meter-long wind blades and sent them sweeping forward.
However, the Crab Claw Stitched Demon didn't dodge, simply brandishing its huge pincers to block.
Ting, ting, ting!
The Wind Blades struck the tough pincers, leaving only a few shallow white marks before shattering into dispersing currents of air.
"Fool. These are pincers from a Steel Armor Crab, hard enough to withstand thermal weapons head-on.
A mere Wind Blade isn't even enough to scratch an itch!"
The Crab Claw Stitched Demon sneered, but it didn't notice the mass of vines creeping toward it from the ground.
Swish, swish, swish!
The vines suddenly shot up, wrapping tightly around its body, bundling up its pincers as well, like a crab at the market, restricting its every move.
The Vine Rabbit's racial skill—Binding Vines!
"You're the fool! I'll make you pay for Old Zhang's life!" Old Xu roared.
"Rock Giant Frog, use Mountain Crush!"
"Gwa!"
With a push of its powerful legs, the Rock Giant Frog with its thick stone shell leaped high into the air.
The shadow of its massive body fell over the Crab Claw Stitched Demon, dimming the vision of its many eyes.
But the vines bound its body so tightly that it could only watch helplessly as the cannonball-like figure plummeted straight down.
Once it landed, it would be enough to crush it into paste!
"Roar!"
The Stitched Demon roared, about to tear the vines apart with all its might, but Xiao Bing's cold voice was faster:
"Electric Light Horse, use Electric Stomp!"
This was a combination skill formed when the 【Electric】 and 【Stomp】 skills reached the Proficient-level!
It was also the furious blade of his revenge!
"Hiss—"
The Electric Light Horse, covered in arcs of electricity and sporting a golden mane, had already finished charging. Upon hearing its master's command, it reared up on its hind legs.
A massive amount of electricity gathered in its front hooves, turning into crackling electric serpents. The dazzling light instantly turned the small area into day.
Thump!
As it stomped down violently, the electricity formed an arc of energy that swept forward. It was incredibly fast, piercing through the Crab Claw Stitched Demon's body in an instant.
A large amount of current conducted through the armor and directly into its flesh, causing intense paralysis and a moment of stiffness!
They had been a group for years and had long since developed coordinated tactics.
Old Zhang was also a member, serving as aerial suppression and scout.
But with his death, his Beast Taming Space collapsed, and his pet beast perished before it could even be summoned.
"It worked!"
The group was overjoyed, their eyes wide, ready to witness the moment of vengeance for their companion.
Swoosh!
A sudden change! A figure shot out from the white mist, a cold light flashing. It formed a cross that pierced through the Rock Giant Frog's body.
Crack! Crack!
The Rock Giant Frog's face suddenly went slack. Countless cracks appeared on its armor, which then shattered instantly.
Its body was sliced apart in mid-air, blood and stone fragments spraying everywhere, chunks of flesh flying!
A fatal blow!
"Rock Giant Frog!"
Old Xu's eyes were bloodshot, but before he could grieve, his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He saw figures walking out of the white mist, one after another.
The first to appear was a Mantis Arm Stitched Demon with a pair of scythe-like arms. Warm blood dripped from the blades; clearly, it had been the one to kill the Rock Giant Frog.
Its appearance was similar to the Crab Claw Stitched Demon's—a human body, but without armor, and with a single, massive eye on its head.
Its snake-like vertical pupil scanned the surroundings before settling on the bound Crab Claw Stitched Demon.
It crossed its blades and roared with laughter:
"Crab, you're pathetic! Getting played by a few humans like this. If I hadn't stepped in, you would've died here!"
The Crab Claw Stitched Demon's face was extremely ugly as it retorted, "Shut up! I would've been fine without you!"
"I'm not so sure about that."
A deep voice came from the white mist.
A Stitched Demon with a giant gorilla arm walked out, its massive fingers clutching handfuls of iron scraps, steel forks, broken blades, and other metal objects.
Another one!
Xiao Bing and the others panicked.
Three high-tier Elites were beyond their limit. They instinctively wanted to retreat, but before they could turn, a dull thud came from behind.
Bang!
A bloated figure descended from the sky, stomping the vehicle flat into a pile of scrap metal.
"Old Zhang's body is still in there!"
Seeing Old Zhang's corpse desecrated even after death, Xiao Bing finally lost control and roared:
"Get away from it!"
"Hiss—"
The Electric Light Horse sensed its master's fury.
It gathered a massive amount of electricity in front of it with all its might, forming a ball of lightning that shot out with a roar!
However, facing this full-power attack, the opponent merely lifted its elephant-like right foot.
Limb Grafting Technique—Earth-Shaking Elephant's Trample!
Crackle!
The half-meter-thick elephant foot descended, forcefully stomping the ball of lightning into the dirt.
It ignored the frantic electric serpents bursting from within; the searing heat could only leave scorched marks on the elephant's hide, completely unable to tear through the tough skin.
Finally, it was completely stomped into the ground.
"This current has decent power. It's just a little itchy."
The fourth one, the Elephant Foot Stitched Demon, commented.
Then, before Xiao Bing's nearly broken gaze, it repeatedly lifted its leg and stomped hard on the crumpled metal, again and again, until it was completely flat. Only then did it stop, satisfied, and remarked:
"It looks much better flattened.
No offense to you humans, but you use so many tools and pet beasts, yet you're still so weak. The path of the Beast Tamer is clearly wrong.
Only flesh evolution is correct!"
Rip!
Just then, the Crab Claw Stitched Demon tore apart the vines on its body with its pincers. It turned and scratched the remaining thorns off its back, revealing the glaring black and red flesh-wing pattern that covered its entire back, layered and wickedly twisted.
It was tattooed on its back!
"It really is the Flesh Wing Demon Thief Group!"
The four of them, Old Xu included, looked with despair at the four high-tier Elite Stitched Demons blocking their path from both front and back. All will to fight had vanished from their hearts.
The four exchanged a look. Years of coordination allowed them to understand each other instantly without a word.
They split into two pairs and ran left and right.
Staying meant certain death, but fleeing offered a sliver of hope!
Xiao Bing took Old Xu, who had lost his pet beast, and mounted the Electric Light Horse, preparing to draw fire.
The other two still had their pet beasts and a better chance to escape.
"Clever.
But unfortunately… it's a trap!"
The Gorilla Stitched Demon looked at the distant Swift Wind Dog, a playful mood striking it. With a violent swing of its massive gorilla right arm, a shower of iron scraps shot out, turning the Swift Wind Dog into a pincushion.
Limb Grafting Technique—Explosive Ape Throw!
"Swift Wind Dog!"
Seeing this, Wang Yu subconsciously moved to embrace the pet beast he had raised since it was a pup. But in the next moment, his head was severed by the iron scraps.
His body, separated from his head, reached a hand toward the Swift Wind Dog's corpse before falling limp.
Blood stained the earth, painting a picture of Hell.
"Fun, fun!"
The Gorilla Stitched Demon clapped its hands happily at the sight and laughed loudly:
"This dog's teeth look pretty sharp. I've always wanted to graft a dog's head onto my stomach. Now I have the material. I'll combine it with its master's head, so they can be together forever."
The Vine Rabbit shrieked in terror at the sight and hopped to escape, but just as it leaped, it was caught by the pursuing crab claw.
Before it could struggle, it was sliced in two in mid-air, flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
Limb Grafting Technique—Steel Armor Crab Horizontal Scissor!
And the Vine Rabbit's master had his head smashed by a pincer before he could even react.
The Crab Claw Stitched Demon sneered, "You dare scheme against me? Then I'll send you to Hell!"
"Wang Yu! Jiang Hang!"
Riding the Electric Light Horse, Xiao Bing glanced back. Endless regret flooded his heart, consuming his reason like a venomous snake.
It was all his fault!
If he hadn't been greedy, wanting to explore the Wilderness Mystic Realm and scavenge for Desolate Strength Ants, Old Zhang, Wang Yu, and Jiang Hang would all still be taking missions in the city, living their plain but happy lives.
None of them would have died!
He was the one who deserved to die the most!
Xiao Bing's reason completely shattered.
He fell into a brief daze, then suddenly, Old Xu pushed him from behind, causing his body to lurch forward to the left.
'It's better if a sinner like me buys some time…'
Just as he thought Old Xu was sacrificing him to escape, a cold light flashed before his eyes!
Crack!
Old Xu's right arm was severed.
He fell to the ground from the intense pain, rolling several times. Covered in dust and wounds, blood poured from the stump.
He looked at Xiao Bing, opened his mouth, and used his last bit of strength to say:
"Run!"
He was using himself to buy Xiao Bing a chance at life!
But in the next moment, the Electric Light Horse was kicked over, rolling on the ground and neighing in pain. Xiao Bing, in mid-air, was struck by the Mantis Stitched Demon with the back of its blade, sent flying into a tree.
He coughed up blood and let out a pained cry.
Countless leaves rained down, covering his face.
If not for his enhanced physique as a Beast Tamer, he would have died on the spot.
Even so, he had no idea how many bones in his body were broken.
But the Mantis Stitched Demon's scythe showed him no mercy. The tip of the blade pierced his collar, and it began dragging him like a dead dog, saying as it walked:
"Such touching brotherhood, it gives me goosebumps.
I've decided, if that guy isn't dead yet, I'll dismantle your bodies bit by bit. We'll see who lives longer.
Sounds fun, doesn't it? I'm such a genius…"
Xiao Bing was dragged along the ground, his mind a muddled mess. Listening to these demonic whispers, he had gone completely numb.
He struggled to open his blurry eyes and seemed to see lights approaching from deep within the mist, and he could faintly hear the roar of a motorcycle.
Someone else is here?
"Don't come… quick… run…"
Xiao Bing let out a weak moan, trying to warn the traveler not to approach this Hell.
But it was useless. The four Stitched Demons had already seen the lights.
The Gorilla Stitched Demon laughed loudly:
"More prey delivering itself to our door. Looks like we'll soon have all the Spiritual Hearts and Brain Marrow from Beast Tamers needed for the ritual…"
The Crab Claw Stitched Demon nodded.
"The boss is amazing, luring so many Beast Tamers to the mystic realm so easily. We just have to block the key roads and ambush them.
Perfect time to replace my organs that were about to rot…"
"Alright, that's enough. This one's almost here.
Let's kill him first, so he doesn't escape and leak the news…" The Elephant Foot Stitched Demon remembered something and added:
"Oh, and remember not to damage the motorcycle. I've never ridden one of those things before!"
"Don't worry, I'll handle it!"
The scythe-wielding Stitched Demon laughed, grinding its twin blades together to create sparks.
It stared at the approaching lights in the fog, now able to make out a blurry black shadow. It appeared to be a tall man riding a motorcycle.
"Weak human…"
It crouched slightly, raising its arm blade horizontally. Watching the motorcycle emerge from the fog, it slashed out and laughed maniacally:
"Die in two!"
Slice!
The mantis blade tore through the black shadow, but there was no sensation of impact.
What's going on?
The Mantis Stitched Demon was confused. As it watched the shadow energy dissipate like silk threads, it suddenly heard a shriek transmitted into its mind:
"Move move move move, get out of the way! Little Mouse can't ride a bike, ahhh!"
Little Mouse?
The Mantis Stitched Demon froze for a second.
Its eyeball swiveled, and it realized there was no one on the motorcycle. There was only a small, yellow-furred hamster clinging to the handlebars, frantically twisting them as the bike sped along!
Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
At that moment, the motorcycle accelerated suddenly, briefly losing its balance.
The front wheel lifted high, like a galloping horse, and the black tire slammed hard into the face of the unprepared Mantis Stitched Demon, knocking it to the ground.
Its eye was smashed right in!
"Sorry, sorry…"
Little Mouse quickly apologized.
Seeing the humanoid creature, it thought it had hit the wrong thing and looked flustered.
"Ahhhhhh! I'm going to tear you to pieces!"
The Mantis Stitched Demon felt the excruciating pain in its eye and roared, trying to get up and slice the hamster to bits with its scythe.
"What an ugly monster. So I didn't hit the wrong one…"
Little Mouse breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it hadn't made a mistake.
But seeing the Mantis Stitched Demon about to swing its blade, it couldn't help but feel scared. Panicked, it quickly formed a Shadow Hand and cranked the throttle to the max.
KRAK!
The suddenly accelerating tire became a high-speed cutting blade. Made of special, high-hardness material and empowered by immense kinetic energy, it sawed directly into the giant eyeball.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
In an instant, a spray of flesh and ocular fluid flew everywhere as the tire sliced off half of the Stitched Demon's head.
At this moment, Play of the game—the Tyrannical Mouse Heavenly Emperor
