God of War Descends Again (This Part of the Plot Will Probably End Tomorrow) (Combined Chapter)
(Partial plot) (Two-in-one)
"Whoosh--"
The crimson river surged and roared as it marched toward George III's palace.
His bloodlust was overwhelming, and his madness was terrifying!
A figure blocked its path ahead.
--Duchess Georgina's Duke was styled in an updo, with loose long sleeves, a huge petticoat, and a high collar; her style of dress was quite different from that of contemporary women.
However, these clothes did not restrict her movements. She floated in the air, her expression serious, her eyes gleaming with golden light, as if she had merged with the rules of the world, making it difficult for anyone to resist her.
"No passage allowed!"
The Duke announced with utmost solemnity.
Behind the Duke, before the Blood River, an insurmountable, invisible barrier instantly formed.
"Boom!"
The crimson river crashed against the barrier with a deafening roar, spraying blood everywhere.
Luther was blocked!
But the river paused only for a moment before surging again, crashing against the transparent wall continuously, as if determined to continue its journey.
Seeing that her target had been intercepted, Duke Georgina did not underestimate the enemy. The lesson of Prince Grove was still fresh in her mind, and with the King watching from behind, she had to give it her all.
"Boom boom boom!"
The second, third, and fourth walls rose one after another, combining to form a city that imprisoned the river, Imprisonment it from flowing freely!
"Deprivation!"
Seeing that there was nowhere to hide in the river, she stretched out her hand, pointed to the red eddy on the ground, and declared her verdict.
A powerful rule instantly formed, penetrating deep into the river. Georgina's activated law could directly Deprivation a target of one of their Beyonder Ability. And the ability she chose to Deprivation was, naturally, "Flesh and Blood Magic"!
To be honest, Georgina had never seen such an outrageous Sequence 5, capable of turning itself into a Blood River. This guy was definitely extraordinary!
"Whoosh"
She saw the majestic Order act swiftly on the river; it trembled violently, stopped flowing, and began to contract.
"Whoosh!"
Just when Georgina thought she had succeeded, the river suddenly surged again, its power immense. Unlike before, the river's state had become strange—viscous, deep, and the sound seemed to be mixed with the Phantom Tide.
Amidst this peculiar sound of the Tide, Order collapsed, which in turn impacted Duke Georgina!
"Ah--"
Georgina screamed as her hair, which was styled in a bun, suddenly exploded, strands flying wildly and dripping with blood. Looking closer, blood was seen flowing from her eyes and nose!
The four walls shattered simultaneously, and the river resumed its course, heading towards the palace.
"Damn it! Stop right there! Stop right there!"
Duke Georgina, her hair disheveled and losing all composure, screamed shrilly. She leaped into the air, once again blocking the Blood River, and slammed her right fist down into the void!
"Boom!"
Blood splattered, and the turbulent river seemed to echo with angry roars.
At the same time, several forces arrived simultaneously.
After reporting to the king, Qonas crossed space and arrived at the battlefield.
"Thump thump thump!"
Another group of royal guards rushed over, but unlike the previous ones, they were wearing outdated full-body armor. The two leaders even had their faces covered with black masks, and their bodies exuded a powerful Spirituality.
The extraordinary guards in the royal palace are led by two "Disciplinary Paladin" of Sequence 5!
"Brush!"
Above the sky, a figure rapidly grew larger. Prince Grove, several kilometers away, had finally returned to the scene. His clothes were slightly charred, indicating that he had consumed much of his Spirituality, but he was still the strongest among everyone present, Demigod of Sequence 3.
Several powerful figures surrounded the blood-red river, determined not only to stop it but also to completely Destruction and kill its body!
On the surface of the river, Luther's figure slowly emerged. He looked around as his upper body floated above the water.
"Oh"
Faced with formidable enemies around him, he showed no panic, but instead revealed a contemptuous sneer.
The next second, he flipped his hand and produced a crystal-clear, white bone from who-knows-where. The bone was curved, with one end being rather sharp, and it appeared to be a rib.
"Puff!"
Without hesitation, Luther plunged his ribs into his side abdomen.
"Ah!"
Everyone present simultaneously cried out in pain; the lower the Sequence, the more unbearable the pain. The prince merely swayed, the Duke and Qonas groaned softly, while the guards staggered and fell, screaming shrilly!
"Pain"!
When faced with a large group of enemies, Luther did not hesitate to use this Beyonder Item with extremely severe side effects!
"Come on, you scum, keep going!"
The "Pain" entered his stomach, and his body instantly became extremely sensitive, as if the subtle sensations of every nerve were magnified a thousand times, almost making his brain boil when the signals returned to his brain.
But in return, his pain was also reflected on all his enemies around him!
Not only that, but as the bones returned to his body, his condition improved instantly. The previously uncontrollable [Divinity] within him immediately merged into his body, and the Lamb became incredibly compliant and submissive. At this moment, his Spirituality state was extremely close to that of the "Black Knight"!
"Whoosh--"
Countless whirlpools rose from the surface of the Blood River.
Despite the pain, everyone watched as crimson figures emerged from the vortex. Most of them were just ordinary Flesh Puppet, but a few of them shone with a Spirituality light, clearly extraordinary beings, and some were even Sequence 6 or 5 extraordinary beings!
Among all the Flesh Puppet, the figure standing at the very front was particularly tall. Crimson red covered his surface, making it impossible for anyone to make out his appearance; they could only vaguely make out that he was a handsome young man with long, smooth hair.
Upon seeing this figure, Grove and the others suddenly felt a strong unease. Although the opponent's strength was at most around Sequence 4, he seemed to possess an extremely high rank, making them feel danger on a Spirituality instinct!
I've discovered that I'm starting to admire you a little.
Medici looked around, and after clearly identifying the enemy, he turned back to Luther with a smile and said, "Your actions were crazy and exciting enough."
Bang bang bang!
Qonas fired, his right hand holding a strange Revolver. It was gray, several times larger than a normal Revolver, almost like a hammer. Unlike a regular Revolver, this Revolver had six thick barrels, and metal studs were embedded in the Lucky Roulette.
This is one of his Sealed Artifact, Rivell's Desperate Scream.
Six Revolver fired simultaneously, bullets raining down on Medici.
"Kill!"
The gunshots acted as a signal, prompting everyone present to act simultaneously. The guards faced ordinary Flesh Puppet and Mid-Sequence the Blood River, while Prince Grove, the Duke, and Qonas confronted far more powerful Lamb — Mr. A, the Wraith Steve from the Rose School of Thought, and Jason, the Desire Apostle.
--and Medici.
He looked at the chaotic battlefield, but a look of immense satisfaction appeared on his face.
After a thousand years, the "God of War" has descended upon the world once more. Let weapons serve as a symbol of His blessing! The sound of gunfire is the clarion call to welcome Him, and the screams of the dying are hymns of praise to Him. The vibrant battlefield makes Him tremble slightly; this is His promised land!
"Very good. As a reward, I'll light a fire for you."
Medici praised Luther.
"Call!"
A bluish-purple flame ignited from His palm, blazing fiercely, seemingly possessing a destructive power. He effortlessly manipulated the flame, shaping it into a spear. Then, holding the middle of the spear, he pulled his arm back...
Grazing is prohibited in this area!
Prince Grove sensed danger from His actions and shouted a command from mid-air.
This time, he used his Spirituality to issue the Prohibition with all his might!
His Prohibition was very clever, directly restricting Luther at its source. If successful, not only would Luther lose a major ability, but these Flesh Puppet would also become useless shells!
However, Prince Grove's plans fell through.
The Blood River surged with the Phantom Tide, and for some reason, it was able to resist his full [Prohibition] as Sequence 3. The tall, blood-red Puppet was even more Pride. It only glanced at him, and without pausing its movements, it pulled its arm to its limit and hurled it towards the king's palace!
"Brush!"
Flame Spear, carrying extreme heat, shot out!
"Boom!"
Luther felt his Spirituality being rapidly depleted, like a dam bursting and a waterfall cascading down, being drained away!
After throwing the spear, Medici looked down at his palm, opened and closed it thoughtfully, then shook his head. His aura had diminished considerably after the throw, and he was now no different from a regular Sequence 4.
However, the enemies present had no time to pay attention to Him.
"Distortion!"
Qonas was terrified. He gripped a metal pocket watch tightly in his hand. One half of its dial was neatly arranged with various symbols, while the other half was a chaotic mess. The two halves were connected by a mechanical mechanism behind the scenes, the deep structure of which was so complex that it made one dizzy.
This is his second Sealed Artifact, "Concerto of Light and Shadow"!
Qonas snapped a button on his pocket watch, his eyes fixed on the Flame Spear, trying to Distortion it in the wrong direction. However, he only heard a dull creak from the watch, and the spear seemed to slow down slightly.
Prince Grove caught up with the Flame Spear and swung his fist at it!
Before him, the rules and Order of space became extremely chaotic, and the flaming spear, which was burning hot to the extreme, seemed to be soaked in highly viscous glue, and its speed was further slowed down!
"Ah?"
Medici's smile froze, then he let out a very annoyed snort, as if his mood had been spoiled.
"Hahaha! As expected of the 'Red Angel,' she was actually stopped by a Sequence 3 kid!"
You've always been this incompetent.
The wounds on both sides of His face opened up a little wider, and two voices mocked Him simultaneously.
"Shut up, you two pieces of trash."
Medici said coldly. He observed the situation in the sky and then quickly made a judgment. He raised his right hand and made a grasping motion towards the Flame Spear in the distance.
"Boom!"
Grove was initially pleased to see the Flame Spear slowly slowing down in front of him, but in the next instant, the bluish-white flame with a hint of purple suddenly exploded and engulfed him!
"Ah!"
Grove was engulfed in flames mid-air—flames of Angel. Even if one's rank falls, one still retains a certain status, and they are equally effective against those of High Sequence!
After the bluish-white flames exploded, it wasn't over yet. A spear, now mostly shrunken, bypassed Grove, emerged from the aftershocks of the flames, and continued its trajectory towards the palace. Such a precise and outrageous maneuver could probably only be accomplished by a High Sequence Hunter.
"Stop!"
Grove screamed in agony as he struggled free from the flames with incredible willpower and chased after the spear. He looked utterly wretched; most of his hair was singed, and his clothes were charred black. Yet, even so, he caught up with the Flame Spear and struck its tail with all his might!
The spear was deflected from its course and fell prematurely, landing on the open ground in the Palace.
"Boom--"
Flames erupted, and the intense heat spread into the palace, making everyone feel a burning sensation on their faces. The aftershocks of the explosion also caused the palace to shake violently, as if it had been slapped across the face of George III.
He sat high on his throne, feeling the complex gazes of everyone in the hall. His anger grew, and he even felt a faint urge to emanate from his Spirituality. He really wanted to walk out of the palace and crush this haphazardly jumping little ant!
"Your Majesty, please restrain yourself."
A calm voice echoed in his mind, "The Three Great Churches are watching. If you display strength above Sequence 5, you will be discovered immediately."
"I know!"
George III answered in his heart, "Where are the other two? Why aren't they here yet!"
He was asking about the Angel of the Augustus Royal Family, the Sequence 2 "Balancer," Duke of South Wales, Dlink Augustus, and the Sequence 1 "Hand of Order," William I "Nation Builder."
If these two intervene, the chaos within the Imperial Palace will be easily brought to an end.
"Your Excellency Nation Builder is still within the ruins, and Your Excellency Dlink is on his way. Please wait a moment."
The voice Soothing.
"Hmph, how could a dignified Angel be so slow?"
George III scoffed inwardly. He knew that the attitudes of these two family Angel were rather ambiguous. If his plan succeeded, all the better; even if he failed, they wouldn't have much regret.
Meanwhile, outside the palace.
Damn it.
Prince Grove, having suffered repeated setbacks, became extremely angry. He turned around, intending to return to the battlefield, only to find that the blood-red river had somehow closed the distance. Georgina, Qonas, and the guards were all entangled in it, fighting against numerous Flesh Puppet, but they could hardly stop the main body from advancing.
It is still relentlessly advancing towards the palace!
"When are you going to stop messing with me like this?!"
This obsessive and frenzied drive was almost unbearable for Grove. He roared and charged to the ground.
"Boom!"
The impact of his flight directly overturned several Flesh Puppet on the Blood River.
"Boom!"
Crimson flames blocked his path, Medici laughed as he stopped him.
