The Princess Wields a Spiked Club (1)

This Counter-Prophecy Art may indeed have reached the level of divine arts used by gods.

However, the price to pay for using Magic Power to activate divine spells is unimaginable.

After using Counter-Prophecy Art at the Holy Church, Augustus himself was seriously injured and became despondent.

Moreover, although Augustus created this Reverse Counter-Prophecy Art, Augustus was unable to unleash its true power. Divine magic naturally requires divine power to activate it. Perhaps, a power at a higher level than Magic Power and Battle Qi is what is known as divine power.

However, after Qin Chu mastered this Counter-Prophecy Art, it immediately became very different.

Some of the loopholes were modified by Qin Chu. This doesn't even include the fact that Qin Chu possesses the Gluttony Divinity, Sin of Desire Divinity, Decomposition Divinity, and Water God's Authority. Although he doesn't know what divine power is, he can still unleash a bit of divine power when activating these Divinity.

On the Skyvault Continent.

Perhaps only Qin Chu can unleash the true power of this Counter-Prophecy Art.

He didn't even need to chant the incantation word by word like Augustus did, only unleashing his full power at the very end.

At this moment, Qin Chu is using the Decomposition Divinity.

The divine power squeezed from the faint Divinity is infused into the incantation of Counter-Prophecy Art.

Call...

It was as if a mysterious force, carried by the night wind, swept across the entire area.

There were no dark clouds that blotted out the sky, no raging lightning and thunder, and no roaring earthquakes.

There was nothing there.

All that remained was a cool night breeze.

But where the night wind blew, everything froze. The whole world seemed to have fallen into complete silence. The roars of Magic Creature on the ground and the sounds of Magic Creature' wings in the caves in the air all disappeared.

Even the third prince, Diken, remained suspended in mid-air, motionless.

Another gust of night wind blew by, and the most terrifying scene appeared.

All the Magic Creature in the area that could be seen had vanished... "vanished" might not be an accurate description; their Magic Creature had, in a daze, turned into sand sculptures weathered by wind and sun.

Each of them had a robust physique, with dark mane, ugly face, sharp nails, and long, pointed teeth...

Everything turned into fine dust in that instant, vanishing with the wind.

A sandstorm seemed to rise in the air.

In a short moment, the ground was covered with a thick layer of it.

When the gods say you should not exist, everything about you will be erased from this world.

This is the power of divine magic.

It is a power on a completely different level from the magic mastered by humans.

With a single move, not a single Magic Creature remained in sight.

Besides the third prince of Magic Creature, Diken.

Diken was dead. His head, limbs, and torso were all separated and scattered on the ground. Compared to his men, he was not much different except that he had not turned into fine dust.

On that enormous head, a pair of scarlet eyes still shone with intense excitement. Even as death approached, this creature seemed to be dreaming of capturing Hero alive and reaching the pinnacle of demonic existence.

Unfortunately, all his Greed, Desire, and ambitions vanished under the cold night wind and moonlight.

Qin Chu remained suspended in mid-air, assessing the flaws in this move.

This move is powerful, but not invincible.

First, the consumption is extremely high. Each use of a Divinity is completely drained, meaning that with Qin Chu's strength, he can only use it a maximum of four times before entering a long recovery period.

Secondly, while the Counter-Prophecy Art killed Diken, it couldn't kill him as easily as it could other Magic Creature.

Diken's level was even below ninety.

Those who are level 90 or above might be able to survive an attack from the Counter-Prophecy Art, though serious injury is absolutely unavoidable.

As for those Demigod who broke the shackles of the Skyvault Continent and surpassed level 100, the power of the Counter-Prophecy Art would be further diminished.

Of course, this is also because my own Divinity is not strong enough at present, and the divine power that can be squeezed out is too weak to exert the true power of the Counter-Prophecy Art.

Qin Chu did not choose to absorb these Magic Creature.

There's still a heart and a leg inside that haven't been fully absorbed; that's purer power. There's no time to waste on these Magic Creature.

After a brief pause to assess his own strength, Qin Chu's figure drifted away silently.

More than an hour later, it appeared above a military camp.

This is a human military camp.

To be honest, Qin Chu didn't think the general in charge of this war was a fool, even though he had lost a lot of territory.

The orders to retreat were issued by the person in charge here. He did not force the soldiers on the front line to fight head-on with the enormous number of Magic Creature. Instead, he kept retreating and shrinking his own strength. The number of soldiers in the army increased, while Diken's Magic Creature army became more and more isolated and deep in enemy territory.

In the main camp, the general still hadn't rested. He was deep in thought in front of a map, and he was under immense pressure. He had received twelve imperial edicts, representing the emperor's authority, urging him to send troops for a decisive battle and not allow the Magic Creature to continue trampling on human territory.

After a long while, the old general raised his head and sighed, only to be surprised to find a figure standing in front of him. "Who?"

After a brief moment of shock, the old general quickly recovered. "Eh? Hero, what brings you here?"

This general, named Cromwell, is a nobleman, an earl. He once saw Qin Chu at a banquet in the Imperial City... well, the very place where the eldest prince was blown to the head. He was one of the few talented people among that group of filthy and foolish nobles.

"Sir Cromwell, it's been a long time; you look much older."

This wasn't just polite conversation; although he was only in his fifties, the Marquis of Cromwell's hair was already completely white.

Hearing Qin Chu's words, Cromwell gave a helpless wry smile, "I'm getting old, my body isn't as strong as it used to be."

"By the way, Your Excellency Marquis, are you aware of the recent events in the Imperial City? The Holy Church has undergone a major upheaval." Qin Chu suddenly changed the subject.

I've heard some things about it...

"That's good. I've succeeded Augustus and become the new Pope," Qin Chu said with a slight nod.

Cromwell's eyes narrowed to slits. "So, the Hero... no, His Holiness the Pope, intends to lead the clergy of the Holy Church to the front lines to rebuild the Holy Church's prestige and reputation?"

It's definitely easier to do things with smart people.

Qin Chu nodded with great satisfaction. "Yes, that's right, just like that. Oh, and here's a small gift."

As he spoke, Qin Chu pulled something larger than a table out of his storage ring and tossed it in front of Cromwell.

Cromwell gasped in shock after just one glance.

This is a head.

Cromwell knew better than anyone whose head this was.

That is the head of Diken, the third prince of the Magic Creature.

This powerful and terrifying Magic Creature has actually been slain by the Hero?

Although I had long heard that the Hero's speed of improvement was terrifying, this was too exaggerated. How exactly did he manage to kill the third prince of Magic Creature from among two hundred thousand Magic Creature?

The answer is actually quite simple: just wipe out the entire army of 200,000 Magic Creature.

"The Pope, along with the general and numerous soldiers, just killed the third prince of the Magic Creature. General Cromwell led his soldiers in a valiant battle, annihilating an army of 200,000 Magic Creature," Qin Chu said with a smile.

But that smile sent a chill down Cromwell's spine.

What exactly do you mean by this, Hero? Does it mean that Hero not only killed the third prince of the Magic Creature, but also slaughtered an army of 200,000 Magic Creature?

God, where did this monster come from?

No, calling Hero Excellency a monster is far too rude.

"To wipe out an army of 200,000 Magic Creature in one fell swoop is an absolutely tremendous achievement. I'm sure the empire will be very generous with its rewards."

The shrewd Cromwell man immediately understood upon hearing this. He crossed his arms over his chest. "Oh no, Hero lord, this is not merely the achievement of my excellent soldiers, but also the achievement of thousands of Knights, priests, and nuns of the Holy Church. Without their support, we would never have been able to win the battle against the Magic Creature. The clergy of the Holy Church saved the lives of tens of thousands of brave soldiers."

I didn't see a single one.

But Cromwell spoke as if it were the truth, "My men have been favored by the goddess. From this day forward, we are all the most devout followers of the Goddess of Holy Light, and we will surely spread the mercy and power of the Divine Church far and wide."

"If I could, I would like to become an honorary Knight of the Holy Church; that would be the greatest honor of my Cromwell."

"The Goddess of Holy Light is never stingy with her followers. So, Your Majesty Marquis Cromwell, your wish is granted. From this day forward, you are an honorary Knight of the Holy Church."

Qin Chu took out the Holy Light Scepter and gently tapped it on Cromwell's head.

May the Holy Light protect you.

As the voice faded, Cromwell seemed to sense a surge of Magic Power. When he looked up again, the Hero had vanished without a trace, leaving only a gigantic head inside the tent.

Cromwell shuddered and rushed out of his tent, personally leading a group of elite scouts towards the Magic Creature's territory, which was more than ten kilometers away.

When they got there, all they could see were the rest of Dean's body scattered haphazardly on the ground.

And beneath their feet, there was dust as thick as a desert!

Cromwell's body trembled slightly. "Hero, has this turned all the Magic Creature to ashes?"

That's incredibly impressive, absolutely amazing.

Most importantly, even though the Hero all the work, he didn't take all the credit; he even shared it with himself and the other warriors.

That's absolutely amazing!

Demon King's Castle.

Ramon was cautiously gathering intelligence.

Although he hadn't killed any members of the Hero's Party recently, and hadn't been conquering territories like his other brothers and sisters, Ramon was still very happy.

Just now, he received a message from Candice.

Horus, through some schemes, instigated the Hero to kill the third brother, Dean.

That's really... amazing.

You can sit at home, do absolutely nothing, and suddenly you've eliminated a formidable competitor. What could be better than that?

It was indeed the right thing to do to follow Candice and Lord Horus's advice. In Mr. Horus's words, it's best not to go out and have fun right now, or you might end up having a bad accident.

As long as you keep sending out what you hear little by little, without even having to fight hard, the Demon King's throne is constantly beckoning to you, drawing ever closer.

His power has not increased, but as long as the power of others is declining, it is as if he is constantly becoming stronger.

Ramon is very satisfied with his current leisurely life.

Just as Ramon was passing by the entrance of the Demon King's Palace, preparing to gather more information for Horus, he suddenly noticed a strangely familiar figure leaving the Demon King's Palace.

For a moment, Ramon even felt a little confused.

He subconsciously rubbed his large eyes, staring at the figure's back, the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

From the back, it appears to be the eldest brother, Daiaboliq?

But wasn't he dead?

Resurrected from the dead?

Chapter 429 The Princess, Wielding a Spiked Club (1)

Is that the eldest brother?

A hint of doubt flashed in Ramon's large eyes; the strange familiarity he felt from behind was definitely not an illusion.

But wasn't his older Daiaboliq, already dead?

Ramon became alert. Upon careful reflection, he realized that there was indeed no concrete evidence yet that his elder brother was dead.

Many Magic Creature only saw the father carrying his elder brother's body into the secret chamber, even though the elder brother appeared to be dead at the time.

But whether he was truly dead or not, nobody really knows, since no Magic Creature would dare to recklessly stop His Demon King from going forward to check on him.

The Demon King Nag carried Daiaboliq's corpse into the laboratory. No one knew what he wanted to do; it was just that Daiaboliq hadn't shown up for so long that many Magic Creature subconsciously assumed he was dead.

Could it be that Father brought my elder brother's body into the laboratory to treat him?

Is it cured now?

This is not a good thing.
