Send Gaia a Crimson Moon?
An elegant and luxurious black dress accentuated her captivating curves, but a huge wound pierced through the abdomen of the mysteriously beautiful dress, with eerie purplish-black lines spreading outwards from the wound, seemingly trying to completely Altrouge.
"Feel sorry..."
With her dim crimson eyes fixed on Gwen, Altrouge managed to utter two words with great difficulty before letting out a gasp, clearly indicating that even speaking was becoming difficult for her.
"It seems like he's not in good shape."
Seeing that Altrouge was having such difficulty even speaking, Gwen didn't waste any time. He knelt down and placed his hand on the wound that pierced through Altrouge's abdomen, feeling the strange power spreading through the purplish-black patterns.
Seemingly realizing the emergence of a new enemy, the being that had previously launched a fatal attack on Altrouge decisively changed its attack method.
However, facing the Crystal Wall that provides all-around, no-dead-angle defense, no matter how one attacks, it is difficult to break through that invisible and intangible defense.
Inside the Crystal Wall, Gwen was analyzing the power within Altrouge's wounds—
"This power..."
Why does this seem somewhat similar to the Principle Blood Rings?
"Gwen asked."
By keeping Ciel alive, Gwen intended not only to give him a peaceful end, but also to take the Principle Blood Rings Sierra had stolen from the two Ancestor of the Dead Apostles.
Whether the opponent, whose power is destined to decline, will be unable to withstand this power or be affected and become the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles is unknown.
Ciel, who probably didn't like either of them very much, cooperated fully with Gwen in retrieving the two Principle Blood Rings.
Gwen also conducted in-depth research on these two Principle Blood Rings, which were essentially obtained for free, but he still found it difficult to understand their true nature, as if there was an invisible membrane separating him from the truth.
At this moment, sensing the strange power emanating from Altrouge, Gwen had a vague realization.
Perhaps this is the true use of the Principle Blood Rings.
Soon, golden light shone in Gwen's palm, dissolving the eerie purplish-black power and causing Altrouge to weaken further, yet her strangely powerful aura stabilized completely.
The power of the sun is the nemesis of vampires; even the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles cannot ignore the radiance emanating from the Solar Divinity.
Therefore, Gwen used the special version of Altrouge's power, which could be used on her without side effects, and quickly restored her body after dissolving that strange power.
"Thank you for your help. I'm out of danger. Please conserve your strength—"
Finally, the deadly sense of crisis subsided, Altrouge breathed a sigh of relief, managing to sit up with difficulty.
"The last few ancestors seemed to be trying to fight to the death, and initiated the ritual to summon the Six Royalties of the Dark Night."
They succeeded, becoming sacrifices themselves.
The Six Royalties of the Dark Night possess the ability to control and utilize the true power of all Principle Blood Rings.
Just now, I was affected by his influence on my Principle Blood Rings, and was hit and ended up like this.
"If you hadn't arrived in time, I fear I would have been controlled by the Principle Blood Rings, which revealed its true power after the reversal, and turned into the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles."
As Altrouge spoke, she pointed to the Crystal Wall, where several powerful and violent figures were launching a frenzied attack on the Crystal Wall, but their expressions were numb.
"An expected ability."
Gwen knowingly, glanced at the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles attacking frantically Crystal Wall, then looked down at Altrouge—
"How are you? Having lost the Principle Blood Rings, how much of your strength do you have left?"
"I have not lost the Principle Blood Rings, but its true power has been unleashed, exceeding my control."
When Altrouge saw that Gwen hadn't immediately charged out but instead inquired about her situation, a thought crossed her mind, but she still tried to explain calmly—
"You just removed the power that was controlling me. I just need to wait until I recover so I can start controlling that power."
"So it seems this is actually a good thing?"
Gwen raised an eyebrow and teased—
"It was like walking through the gates of hell..."
Or perhaps one foot is already in the underworld?
"If it weren't for your timely intervention, I would probably be dead by now."
Altrouge, however, did not accept Gwen's witty remark to warm up the atmosphere. She struggled to stand up, but due to her weakness, she was unable to do so and almost fell down again.
"Since you're injured, you should rest well. Leave this battle to me, my Princess."
Supporting Altrouge's surprisingly light and delicate body, Gwyn lightly touched her cherry lips, instantly replenishing Altrouge with a large amount of magic power, Gwen stood up, looking at the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles were still bombarding Crystal Wall.
The next moment, Gwen appeared outside the Crystal Wall. Golden Wind surged, and a golden storm instantly evaporated the sea of blood on the battlefield. He unleashed Light Speed Fist, instantly blowing the head off a controlled Ancestor of the Dead Apostles.
However, the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles, whose head had been blown off by the unfiltered Light Speed Fist, quickly recovered and rejoined the battle to besiege Gwen.
Although he could have taken out all of these Ancestor of the Dead Apostles with a single Golden Art, Gwen was still very interested in the Principle Blood Rings that Gaia had created, so he decided to play around with these guys.
However, these Ancestor of the Dead Apostles were ultimately just controlled puppets, and Gwen quickly figured out their true nature, evaporating each of them into nothingness with a single Sun Spear.
After finishing the appetizer, Gwen turned his attention to the real enemy, the Faceless Man who controlled everything but did not directly join the battle, only watching from afar as his subordinates were toyed with and slaughtered— the Six Royalties of the Dark Night.
Calling someone "Faceless" doesn't mean their face is completely empty; rather, it means their face is so ordinary that it's easily forgotten after a glance—just a face.
Therefore, Gwen simply assumed the other party was a Faceless Man.
"Having finally arrived in this world after a thousand years, aren't you going to give a resurrection speech?"
Looking at the expressionless Faceless Man, Gwen chuckled and teased.
It seems to have just appeared in the world and has not yet obtained all the power that belongs to it. Judging from the energy fluctuations, the opponent is not even as good as Arcueid. In front of Gwen, he is just a piece of cake. It's up to Gwyn to decide how to eat him.
"..."
However, as the initial but also failed system, the Six Royalties of the Dark Night clearly lacked the ability to communicate, or rather, their purpose, as revealed here, was not to communicate with or oppose Gwen, but to open the portal—
Facing Gwen, who was wielding the Sun Spear and approaching him step by step, the Six Royalties of the Dark Night remained silent, but also slowly approached Gwen.
He did not use any Principle Blood Rings, and even the fluctuations of magic power on his body were very faint.
When the two were practically face to face, the Faceless Man's body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist that engulfed Gwen...
Chapter 583 Sending Gaia a Crimson Moon?
"A suicide bombing attack right from the start?"
Faced with the blood mist spreading towards him, Gwen raised an eyebrow, unmoved, even showing a hint of interest—
Considering the origins of the true progenitors of this world, Gwen can be fairly certain that the Six Royalties of the Dark Night are also monsters created by Gaia.
While the other party's resurgence was reasonable, the fact that it launched a self-destructive attack on him at this moment made Gwen realize that this was probably the work of the Counter Force that had recently shown him goodwill through Arcueid.
Although it is contradictory, it has a strong Counter Force.
"Let me see what kind of big gift you've prepared for me... Gaia."
Letting the blood mist envelop him, Gwen murmured to himself—
Unless Gaia can gather all the Magus and exploit their information gaps like he did with Crimson Moon, he will basically not encounter any danger.
Besides, even against the giant spider Ortlinde, Gwen was confident he could defeat him.
As for whether Gwyn might be trapped and die in a deadly place by Gaia, Gwen was even less worried—
By now, most of the dozen or so Invitation Letter he sent out have been opened.
As long as all of his friends aren't killed, Gwen can use this opportunity to escape.
"Altrouge, I'll be right back. The Six Royalties of the Dark Night shouldn't launch any more attacks after they took me away—"
If he still persists, then activate the connection with Arcueid and have her summon me back...
Before he could finish speaking to Altrouge, Gwen vanished from the world amidst the blood mist.
"..."
Struggling to her feet, Altrouge looked around, only to find that neither the Six Royalties of the Dark Night, who had nearly killed her instantly, nor Gwen had disappeared.
In fact, Altrouge felt that the power Gwen had left on her had weakened.
However, Altrouge felt no joy or anticipation at this moment; instead, she felt only deep worry and tension.
Although only a short period of time had passed, Altrouge's attitude towards Gwen had undergone a dramatic change.
Gwen's words just now completely swayed Altrouge's mind.
Now Gwen has disappeared even more completely than Crimson Moon did back then. Even though he said he was only leaving for a short while before he left, Altrouge still couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
However, she was not a weak and delicate girl after all. Altrouge quickly calmed herself down and began to contact Arcueid.
Now that things have come to this, Altrouge can no longer even be jealous that Arcueid was able to contact Gwen while she couldn't; she only hopes to find out about Gwen's situation as soon as possible.
While Altrouge was actively trying to contact Arcueid, Gwen had already arrived in a strange space.
"It's strange... Even though I'm in a special zone that's like Imaginary Space, I can still clearly feel intense magical fluctuations in the distance."
Moreover, this kind of gravity... I'm afraid even the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles would find it difficult to bear..."
Feeling the uniqueness of this environment, Gwen couldn't help but be somewhat surprised—
"Where did Gaia throw me?"
On the battlefield of the Great War of the Gods?
If that's all, I'm afraid it's not enough...
While maintaining a generally stable emotional state Gwen analyzed his current situation and pondered what kind of "return gift" he should give Gaia—perhaps resurrecting his mother-in-law and giving Gaia a new life?
At the same time, Gwen did not forget to analyze the magical fluctuations in the battlefield, which seemed to exist in another space, yet also seemed to be separated from his own location by only a thin membrane—
"This energy level..."
That's impressive; he's far surpassed the vast majority of the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles.
"For something to fluctuate like this... is the Age of Gods really coming for me?"
Just as Gwen was surprised, a crisp sound like a mirror shattering suddenly echoed through the space. A futuristic-looking ship burst through space above Gwen's head, slamming Gwen directly downwards—
"Um?
This kind of thing...
"Am I being transported to the Greek Age of Gods, when the twelve gods still retained organic forms?"
Gwen subconsciously thought of the Greek Lostbelt that caused a huge uproar when it was first introduced.
The Twelve Mecha Gods, when combined, were able to repel the incomplete White Giant God, and were indeed a formidable opponent...
Just as Gwen was pondering the opponents he might face next, he was pushed through another layer of space by the ship and arrived in the depths.
"Um?"
Sensing an extremely powerful aura, Gwen subconsciously turned his head to look, and what came into view was a tree that blotted out the sky, emitting strange light and energy, and almost pierced through the entire strange space...
Below the tree lies a magnificent crystalline mountain range, and beneath it, a peculiar city large enough to house millions of people.
"A tree of this size..."
Sensing the energy level of that peculiar tree, Gwen raised an eyebrow—
"Plus the scenery below..."
Could I have been transported to the Land of Olympus Lostbelt?
Is Gaia trying to use one wolf to devour another?
Meanwhile, on the submarine Storm Bord, someone also discovered Gwen, this "foreign object"—
"Report: Vital signs detected ahead of the bow. The scan intensity is only that of an ordinary human, but the person is still maintaining stable vital signs despite being pushed forward by Storm Bord."
In Storm Bord, Nemo, who was piloting a ship, suddenly shouted.
"What!"
The newly appointed director Gordolf Mujik, who had just caught his breath, was shocked upon hearing this.
"Could it be that there are still enemy Heroic Spirits that haven't been eliminated?"
"Although it's incredible, we can't rule out that possibility. After all, we were only on the outer perimeter before, and we're only now entering the real battlefield..."
Holmes looked at the magnificent building projected on the big screen and said in a deep voice.
While discussing the true form of the interstellar city mountain range before them, the Chaldea crew prepared to first deal with the enemy stuck to the bow of the ship.
At this moment, Storm Bord's communications were hacked, and the master of this place, the lord of the Atlantic Lostbelt, the great god Zeus, began to address the people of Chaldea via public channel.
Amidst the debate over whether Zeus was a lecherous and womanizing stallion or an omniscient and omnipotent god of justice, and the Arjuna, the god of the Indian Lostbelt, Zeus's divine punishment arrived—
