The death of the Five Elders! Tengai Shinsei!!
His body rapidly withered under the devouring silk threads, yet his fingers still stretched forward, as if trying to grasp something. In the end, he grasped nothing and collapsed onto the stone pavement, turning into a dried-up corpse.
The instant Shepard X. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter was pierced by the silk thread, he suddenly pulled out a dark gold Talisman from his robes. It was an amulet that he had carried with him for eight hundred years and was said to have been bestowed upon him by the First King of the World.
The Talisman suddenly shone with a blinding light in his palm, attempting to resist the corrosive effect of the threads.
But the light lasted for less than a breath before dimming, and the Talisman split in two, slipping through his fingers.
Shepard X. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's eyes swirled with disbelief and despair, his lips moving as he murmured, "No... this can't be... this is the First Lord's..."
Before he could finish speaking, the silk thread pierced through his chest, abdomen, and throat simultaneously, cutting off his scream in his throat.
After Topman Saint Warcury was pierced by the silk thread, he did not fall down immediately.
He struggled to crawl forward two steps, his fingers carving three deep, bloody scratches into the stone pavement.
His lips were still moving, and broken sounds came from his throat. "It shouldn't be like this... it shouldn't be like this... we are... the masters of the world..."
His voice grew softer and softer, more fragmented, until it finally dissipated into the air.
His body was completely withered by the silk threads, but the three bloody streaks remained on the stone pavement, deep enough to see the bottom.
Marcus Saint Mars couldn't even take the first step.
The moment the thread pierced his chest, his body stiffened abruptly, his expression frozen between terror and resentment.
His lips parted, and a hoarse roar escaped his lips, "This is impossible!!! Lord Imu!!! No----!!!"
With a final scream, his body rapidly withered as the threads devoured him, collapsing in a posture of turning and fleeing.
Accompanied by piercing screams, dark red threads relentlessly devoured everything around them, and they were powerless to even resist.
Upon seeing this, several members of the Night Owl Guard's eyes sharpened, and they immediately reacted, stepping forward with their Tachi to try and sever the silk threads.
But a terrifying Demonic Energy suddenly erupted from Mary Geoise on the Red Line!
At the same time, the threads suddenly erupted with terrifying aftershocks, instantly scattering everyone who was nearby.
Several of them were even invaded by Demonic Energy, emitting ferocious roars and howls.
Just as Madara Uchiha was about to deal with the strange threads, he instantly sensed an extremely terrifying sense of crisis.
His gaze instantly turned towards Mary Geoise, Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan contracted slightly.
The level of that aura was higher than he had expected, and it was still rising.
The rate of ascent far exceeded his expectations.
Ban could clearly sense that the level of that power was expanding at an extremely terrifying speed, like a star compressed to its limit breaking free from its final restraints.
If left unchecked, it could reach a level that even he could not easily suppress within a few dozen breaths.
We must eliminate the source of that eerie sense of crisis immediately.
But looking at the few clansmen dominated by Demonic Energy, Madara Uchiha his hands together.
"Wood Release: Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"
As the four clones appeared, he did not hesitate at all, immediately appearing beside the several tribesmen he had controlled, pressing down with both hands simultaneously.
"Yin–Yang Release: Demon-Sealing Seal!"
The four clones pressed the Demon-Sealing Seal onto several clansmen who were corrupted by Demonic Energy. Dark runes spread from their palms, covering the clansmen's bodies and sealing, suppressing, and peeling away the Demonic Energy that had invaded their bodies layer by layer.
The tribesmen, dominated by Demonic Energy, trembled violently, letting out low growls. But as the Demon-Sealing Seal took effect, those growls gradually weakened, and their eyes slowly regained their clarity.
After his four clones stabilized the situation of his clansmen, Madara Uchiha looked directly at the source of the sense of crisis.
The Red Line. No, it should be said that the Holy Land Mary Geoise is located on the Red Line.
Although he didn't know what had happened, Madara Uchiha knew very well that he had to take advantage of the opponent's inability to fully unleash his power and finish him off in one fell swoop.
Without the slightest hesitation, Madara Uchiha Hand Seals.
The Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan suddenly erupted with terrifying ocular power, dark purple light surging, swirling, and condensing within its pupils.
Above the sky, clouds began to gather at a visible speed, converging from all directions directly above Mary Geoise, layer upon layer, pressing lower and lower.
The once clear sky darkened in a few breaths, like an overturned iron pot covering the entire Red Line.
Deep within the clouds, a dark purple light flickered, like thousands of snakes writhing, hissing, and entwining.
"Tengai Shinsei!!"
With a low shout, the clouds in the sky suddenly split open.
A massive rift, large enough to obscure half the sky, tore open the clouds, revealing the deep void within, like a giant eye opening its eyes.
Deep within the rift, a massive meteorite, over several thousand meters in diameter, is slowly being squeezed out of the void.
The meteorite was entirely black, its surface covered with cracks more dense and deeper than any of the previous ones, with dark purple light flowing deep within the cracks, like countless surging rivers of lava.
Its size is larger than the two meteorites that Ban summoned in Sabaody combined.
The two meteorites that Madara summoned in Sabaody, one several kilometers in diameter and the other twice that size, were still less than one-tenth the size of the one in front of him.
As it squeezed out of the crack, its shadow completely engulfed the entire sky.
The meteorite completely blocked out the sunlight, plunging the sky above the Red Line into a deep darkness.
On the streets of Mary Geoise, the slaves reacted very differently.
A Fish-Man slave chained to a stone pillar with an iron collar looked up and saw that the sky was completely obscured by a meteorite of unimaginable size.
His pupils suddenly dilated, and his lips opened and closed, but no sound came out.
Several slaves beside him had collapsed to the ground, some curled up in a ball with their heads in their hands, others kneeling on the ground with their hands clasped together, repeatedly chanting prayers that no one could understand.
There was also a young female slave standing straight in the middle of the street, head tilted back, eyes vacant, as if her soul had been ripped out, leaving only an empty shell standing there waiting for the boulder to fall.
No one ran.
They were already chained up; they couldn't escape.
The meteorite slowly detached from the void rift and began to fall.
Its landing point was the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
