Chapter 153
"So what do you suggest we do now? They're already at the gate. I don't know why they haven't started attacking yet, but if they do, we simply can't hold out. Sumeru City has no natural defenses!"
As the main city of Sumeru, Sumeru City was built on the back of a giant Sacred Tree. There were no city walls on the entire Sacred Tree, so once the enemy started to attack, there was absolutely no way to defend it.
"Damn it, you guys stay here and hold the line no matter what! We'll go think of something."
The sages glanced at the desert army outside and chose to return to the Akademiya, for their hope lay within the Akademiya.
They also understood better than ordinary people that only gods could stop the gods, so they hoped that the Doctor would create the True God as soon as possible.
"Dottore! How's the situation?"
The sages, upon returning to the Akademiya, immediately inquired of the Doctor.
"No need to rush, wise men."
The Doctor appeared incredibly calm and relaxed.
"How could we not be anxious? They're already at the city gate!"
"So, are they attacking?"
No, not at all.
"Since there's no attack, you don't need to worry. They won't make a move."
The Doctor was very confident.
"How could we not take action?"
"Because it's not just you who are waiting for your gods to appear, they are also waiting for your gods to appear, or rather, the gods on the other side are waiting for your gods to appear."
"But why?"
The sages couldn't quite understand why they had to wait for their own gods to appear when it would have been best to charge straight in and take down Sumeru City.
"This is the thought of the gods, because they, like your gods, were created. Therefore, what they want is to defeat your gods to prove that they are stronger."
The Doctor spread his hands.
"How much longer will it take us on our end?"
As soon as the sages finished asking their questions, the entire Akademiya was suddenly shaken.
The Doctor felt the vibration and smiled slightly.
"It seems to be completed."
Li Yue, standing at the city gate, also laughed. He felt the tremor and sensed a powerful force emerging. At this moment, there was only one possibility for such a powerful force to appear in Sumeru City.
A bolt of lightning ripped through the ground beside Sumeru City and shot straight into the sky. Instantly, dark clouds filled the sky, and a huge purple figure floated in the air.
Accompanying the appearance of this enormous figure was a roar filled with the Roar.
"Beelzebul! I have ascended to godhood!"
258. Have we really not arrived at Inazuma?
Above Sumeru City, a giant purple humanoid mech spread its four arms, with a huge metal ring spinning behind it. Three lightning bolt patterns spun on the ring, and the giant mech's chest and forehead also had three lightning bolt patterns spinning. Lightning surged on its back, and there were knotted rope decorations on its shoulders.
If it weren't for the fact that this is Sumeru, and below is Sumeru City, the main Sumeru City of Sumeru, the people of Sumeru would even think they have arrived in Inazuma.
This giant humanoid mecha, full of Inazuma's unique features, is a Demon God created by combining the technologies of Sumeru and Snezhnaya, as well as Inazuma's experimental subjects and the Gnosis.
What is that?
Ying and Paimon, who were also in Sumeru City, saw the giant humanoid mecha in the sky. The sudden appearance of this giant mecha left them completely bewildered, as they had been wondering how to protect themselves from this inexplicable internal war in Sumeru.
During their two days in Sumeru, they accepted a private commission to act as bodyguards for a wealthy young lady whose family had no intention of getting involved in the desert and rainforest situation.
The young lady's name is Dianazade, the young lady who suffered from the Demon Scale Disease. However, because Li Yue had separated the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata from the World Tree early on, the pollution was also removed. Everyone in Sumeru was cured of the Scalemail Sickness. After a period of recuperation, Dianazade's body, which had been tormented, has recovered to the level of a normal person.
Collei from Gandharva Ville also recovered; her body returned to normal.
Although Dianazade's Scalemail Sickness was cured, Dehya remained her bodyguard. However, considering the dangers of war, the young lady's father chose to hire another person, and that's how Ying became their family's temporary bodyguard, responsible for protecting the young lady's safety.
"Dianazade, is this something from your Sumeru?"
Paimon looked at the huge humanoid mech in the sky and couldn't help but ask the young lady they were protecting.
"I don't know either, I don't know much about this kind of thing."
Miss Dianazade shook her head helplessly and answered Paimon.
"Dehya, do you know what this is?"
"I'm sorry, Miss, I don't know what this is either."
Ying put her hands on her hips and looked at the humanoid weapon in the sky with a puzzled expression.
"Um, it should be Electro element, right? Shouldn't Sumeru be the Nation of Grass?"
"That's right, Sumeru is the Nation of Grass, but I don't understand this Electro element either."
"Speaking of which, where is the Dendro Archon? Isn't the Lesser Kusanali a deity of Sumeru? The enemy has already come to our doorstep, why doesn't the Lesser Kusanali show up?"
Paimon was puzzled by the matter concerning the Dendro Archon.
The desert army has come knocking on our door, and the Dendro Archon isn't showing up. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?
"Perhaps the Akademiya has its own arrangements. Lesser Kusanali usually doesn't show her face, and the Akademiya is responsible for all matters in Sumeru. Maybe she also felt that she didn't need to show her face this time?"
Dianazade offered a very weak explanation: as a steadfast believer in the Dendro Archon, she had always received care from Nahida, so her faith in Nahida was extremely devout.
"However, I heard from some desert mercenaries that a new god has appeared in the desert this time, which is why the current situation has occurred. I haven't been back to the desert recently, so I'm not very clear about the situation there. If a god has really appeared, the Dendro Archon should step in, right?"
As a desert mercenary, Dehya didn't have the same ambition as other mercenaries to conquer the rainforest, but she did have her own channels of information. She obtained some news from the other desert mercenaries, though she wasn't sure if it was true.
"A god has appeared in the desert?"
Ying was very puzzled and looked at Paimon.
"Paimon, can a country have two gods?"
"Well, I don't know either. Logically speaking, a country should only have one god."
"The gods over there in the desert must be fake, right?"
Dehya offered her thoughts, explaining that although she was a desert person, she was different from the desert mercenaries.
"It's probably fake."
"Therefore, there should be no gods in the desert, which is why the Dendro Archon did not appear. As for the one in the sky, it is probably the method used by the Akademiya to deal with the desert army. I just don't know what that thing is."
All eyes were fixed on the giant humanoid mech in the sky, awaiting its next move.
In the eyes of the Sumeru people, there are no gods in the desert!
The Akademiya is keeping the news under wraps. They are not allowing the news of a god in the desert to spread. If Sumeru people knew that a god had appeared in the desert, they would definitely ask the Dendro Archon to intervene. If it were before, it would be fine, but the problem is that they don't have Dendro Archon now.
Fortunately, after persevering for a while, they also gained their own god.
The True God! Seven Nights Silent Illumination Secret Master!
This is the divine name that the Scaramouche possessed after becoming gods!
This newly born the True God is currently in the sky, feeling his own immense power.
"What an intoxicating power!"
Inside the cockpit at the head, the Scaramouche moved his hands, and as he moved, the huge mech outside also moved its four arms.
"Is this the power of the gods? When one's spirit is sublimated to the level of a god, it feels as if one has lived through the same amount of time as heaven and earth. It even makes me feel that the term 'Scaramouche' is an incredibly ancient designation."
He clenched his fist.
Looking back from this point on, the existence of what is called Kunikuzushi is so insignificant and so ugly.
"And now, it seems the whole world is cheering for me to become a god."
"Look, the world has even offered me prey, so that I can demonstrate my perfect power to mortals!"
The Scaramouche focused their gaze on the desert army below. In front of the desert army, Li Yue stood alone, smiling as she looked up at the Scaramouche.
The Scaramouche looked at Li Yue for a while and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hehehe~~ A god? Unfortunately, I can't sense any divinity from you. You're just a tiny mortal pretending to be a god."
"Is that so? Then do you dare to take a blow from this so-called mortal?"
"How dare a mortal defy the gods like this?"
"Looks like you don't dare."
"Snort!"
The Scaramouche were very displeased with Li Yue's mockery.
"Mortal, you have successfully angered me. I will use the supreme power of the gods to make you truly understand your own weakness!"
"Is that so? Since you've brought it up, then I'm really looking forward to your power."
"Takemikazuchi!"
Li Yue clapped his hands, and lightning danced across his body, flying out and rapidly solidifying, first forming a skeleton, then muscles, and finally armor. Soon, a lightning giant, even larger than the True God, appeared outside Sumeru City. A pair of wings on the giant's back flapped, carrying the giant into the sky, bringing it to the same height as the True God.
Following the True God, another giant humanoid figure appeared in the sky above Sumeru City.
Paimon and the others scratched their heads as they looked at the new purple-armored giant that had appeared in the sky.
"Traveler, have we truly arrived at Sumeru, or not Inazuma?"
"These two look just like Inazuma's style!"
259. The True God VS Takemikazuchi
Paimon and the others were surprised, because both the Scaramouche 'The True God and Li Yue's Takemikazuchi looked like Inazuma- style products, not Sumeru -style products at all.
Both are Electro element, and both have lightning patterns and even lightning rings on their backs. However, one is metallic, while the other is a pure aggregate of Electro element.
Not to mention Paimon, even the Scaramouche were stunned.
He looked at Takemikazuchi, who was even larger than his own the True God, and felt completely overwhelmed.
No, I only reached this strength by using Thor's Gnosis. What's going on with you? How did you become so strong and big too?!
Moreover, I couldn't sense any divinity from you just now, but why, why do I feel the same divinity from Beelzebul in you now!
"Who are you?! Why do you possess Beelzebul's power?!"
Beelzebul's divinity, in particular, deeply affected the Scaramouche. As Thor's creation, he should have been the first choice to inherit Thor's Gnosis.
But Thor not only didn't give him the Gnosis, he even abandoned him.
So he wanted to take revenge on Thor, even going so far as to beat up the La Signora and bear the stigma of betraying Snezhnaya, all to complete his plan to ascend to godhood and prove to Beelzebul that her choice was wrong!
But now, a guy with the same divinity as Beelzebul has appeared. What does that mean?
After losing himself, Beelzebul handed over his power to someone else!?
"Tell me, where does your power come from? What is your relationship with Beelzebul?!"
The Wrath Scaramouche roared and questioned Li Yue.
"Want to know? It's simple, just survive my blade!"
As Li Yue spoke, she controlled Takemikazuchi to begin the attack.
The colossal Takemikazuchi, like the True God, possessed four limbs and arms. With its right hand slightly clenched, a massive Tachi formed from lightning appeared in its hand. With a flap of its wings, Takemikazuchi flew directly towards the True God, wielding its forty-meter-long sword and slashing down at the True God.
The massive blade came crashing down, and the Scaramouche hurriedly swung their arms to defend themselves.
The Blade of Lightning struck the overlapping arms of the True God, sending the True God flying backward.
"I underestimated you. I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to cut off your arm. I was originally planning to cut you off along with your arm."
Li Yue looked at the Scaramouche who had been cleaved away and sneered.
"After all, you look so weak."
"That damned bastard!"
The Scaramouche who had been cleaved away looked at their limbs and arms. Although they hadn't been severed, they could clearly see a patch of charred black and some dents on the outer armor of their arms.
This time, it was only through the combined effort of all four limbs that it managed to withstand the attack. If it had only used one arm, it probably would have been severed.
This guy, whose name is Takemikazuchi!
"Don't get too cocky. The power of the gods isn't limited to just someone like you!"
