Norton's pure white wings flapped gently behind him, keeping his body suspended high in the air.
With a flick of his wrist, the slender spine he pulled out remained straight, just like a real longsword, rotating with his wrist.
A cold wind blew high in the sky, causing Norton's full head of silver hair to dance in the wind, making him appear even more sacred.
In the gaze of its crimson eyes, the entire imperial city was completely surrounded by hordes of corpses and endless War Machine behind them.
The entire Pale Holy See was completely surrounded, with countless corpses occupying every street, rooftop, and even high-rise building around the imperial city.
Even on the rooftops of tall buildings, one can see cannons and anti-aircraft guns set up by human soldiers, specifically for launching grappling hooks and nets, in an attempt to shoot down the Pale God in the sky, lest he escape by flying.
This God-Slaying War has reached its final moment!
Even in the nearest city to the battlefield, High Priest Mark of the Eternal Life Society has arrived at the front-line command post.
At this very moment, he was watching the scene at the front line through a fog screen that resembled a 3D display, composed of a hazy gray mist, his eyes filled with boundless fervor and madness.
"It's out! It's out!"
"Only such a mythical figure is worthy to be the final sacrifice of God, to welcome the arrival of my God!"
" Eric, Baxen, Newsom, begin! Begin quickly! Hold a grand blood sacrifice, offer up plenty of souls, and let my god be revived from his imprisonment!"
We will live forever, we will never fade!
The extremely old priest Mark stretched out his withered hand, which resembled dry tree bark, and tremblingly gripped the armrest of the chair, giving instructions to those around him with great joy.
"Yes, High Priest!"
The hooded heads around them couldn't hide the fervor in their eyes; the members of the Eternal Life Society, who were already impatient, turned and walked away excitedly.
They will use the entire Southern Continent to inscribe arrays that call upon the gods, slaughtering countless souls in order to awaken the eternal god above the sun!
"These false gods are laughable and pathetic. They have no divine authority, yet they presumptuously attempt to claim godhood based on the uniqueness of their insignificant souls. This is the best sacrifice for the true god, and the qualification for our immortality!"
Priest Mark's eyes were filled with fervor, and tears streamed down his face.
He has been waiting for over fifty years for true immortality and true eternal life!
Fortunately, he finally waited for this moment, finally waited for the true descent of the gods. The Primordial God of Death of death, who controls Hell and death, will bestow upon him a truly immortal body and an eternally fading soul!
As for the so-called immortal Vampire created by that Pale God, they are nothing more than inferior products used to lure people into the world!
Priest Mark breathed heavily, reached out and grasped a turbid, crystal-like sphere on the wheelchair armrest, his eyes filled with a desperate, ruthless glint.
"Kill!"
"Kill them!!!"
Shouts of attack rang out outside the imperial city.
With the first shout, the deafening roar of cannons and the whistling bullets hurtled toward the Pale God hanging high in the sky.
Nearly a hundred steel wire meshes were launched into the sky, together with the anti-aircraft guns that swept in, in an attempt to bring down the Pale God in the sky.
Such an act of mortals killing gods will invite the most ferocious retribution from the gods!
"Roar!"
The once holy and boundless God Norton, now forced into solitude, left only with his Pale God self, let out a roar that seemed to be a mixture of sorrow, anger, and despair as he faced humanity that had all Betrayal.
All his past actions and sincerity have now been denied by humanity; all his compassion and kindness have been abandoned by them. This heartache of being betrayed after giving so much makes Norton's current situation seem even more desolate.
This only fueled his anger further.
"Buzz!"
Even as the iron net fired from the cannons was still in mid-air, the Pale God in the sky had already flapped his wings.
The instantaneous supersonic speed created a striking Mach cone in the air; the Pale God flew at such a high speed as if it were a meteorite, and even the air itself sparked with dazzling flames from the friction.
With its body raised high, wielding the bone sword, it moved at a speed that appeared slow to the naked eye but was actually so fast that the eyes could barely keep up, crashing headlong into the distant mountain of corpses and sea of iron.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the Pale God, like a meteorite with an extremely long trail, instantly covered a distance of nearly a thousand meters and crashed into a building.
During this process, everything that passed by, whether corpses or War Machine made of steel, was smashed to pieces, creating an absolute void in the entire battlefield.
Even the building it crashed into began to collapse after a loud bang.
"Puff!"
The sounds of steam engines humming and churning filled the air as countless steel warriors twisted and surged toward the spot where the Pale God had fallen.
The endless torrent of steel and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood resembled real ocean waves, surging and crashing towards the place where the Pale God had fallen, attempting to crush the true deity with sheer numbers!
How many divisions does the Pale God have?
Upon witnessing this scene through the fog, Priest Mark was overjoyed, and his aged body began to dance with excitement.
Outside, faint screams and sporadic gunshots could be heard, but to him, they were more like background music, driving him even more mad!
"Boom!"
With a deafening crash as the skyscraper collapsed, Norton reached out and pulled the spinal sword, which was now completely embedded in the ground. Turning back, he found himself surrounded by War Machine made of steel; the so-called undead were simply not even close enough to squeeze into this battlefield.
"Puff!!!"
A massive amount of steam rose up at once, the sound so loud it was almost unbearable.
The next moment, countless cannon barrels burst into flame, and countless steel hands reached out to grab them.
Norton was completely surrounded by War Machine, even above his head.
These War Machine, like the undead before them, piled on top of each other, attempting to imprison this Pale God with their sheer numbers and the force of gravity.
This was the solution that the Northern Continent came up with. As mentioned above, they believed that even the power of the Pale God had its limits.
A real iron mountain pressed it down, and that Pale God certainly could not break free.
"Boom boom boom!"
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, massive bullets struck Norton without even causing a tremor in his skin.
Countless steel hands gripped every part of his body, and then, accompanied by the hum of a steam engine, immense pressure emanated from these densely packed hands, attempting to press him to the ground and completely imprison him.
However, Norton's Existence Level is ultimately superior to that of ordinary creations.
This means that this reality, fabricated by God, is completely unattainable for him!
Norton's body stood upright on the ground like a steel bar, and no matter how many War Machine surged around him, his body did not waver in the slightest.
The steel hands gripping his slender arms and legs couldn't even lift a single finger of his.
Even under the pressure of this pure iron disc, the Pale God Norton still seemed to be floating in the air, casually twisting his arm to lift the bone sword.
With just the movement of raising his arm, he snapped the bearings of the dozen or so steel arms gripping his arm.
However, it still did not use the bone sword in its hand, but instead opened its mouth wide, splitting all the way to the base of its ears.
Countless sharp teeth were revealed in concentric rings within its mouth, and the next moment, thick, hot air began to gush out from its mouth.
"Call!"
At first, it was just simple steam, but then it began to heat up rapidly, with flames blazing amidst the billowing steam.
In a short while, the steam had completely disappeared, replaced by a scorching stream of fire that surged onto the War Machine's body, rapidly melting a large area of steel into molten iron.
However, this was still not the end. The fire continued to heat up, evolve, and lengthen, becoming transparent and vertical at a speed almost visible to the naked eye. Then, it actually turned into a scarlet, scorching beam of light, and even into a straight, endless, scorching laser beam!
"Buzz..."
The sound of surging energy even drowned out the hum of the steam engine. A dazzling crimson beam shot out from the ruins of the collapsed building, grazing Abraham's forehead as he sat up, melting the downy hair on his bat-like head, before instantly piercing through the city wall and continuing to the horizon.
Abraham, who had just sat up, lay down again, his face turning deathly pale, his mind blank and filled with a sudden realization.
"Your Majesty actually possesses extraordinary power?"
"Yes, Your Majesty can bestow extraordinary powers upon others, so why can't you possess them yourself?" ( Norton said when he fought Kuba that he himself was the first mutant caused by his soul, which is why he was able to become the Vampire described in Church books. Later, he advanced to godhood, and subconsciously he truly believed that he had become a god, except that he had become a god in his mind, such as the god he thought was Thor, and then he became that kind of god.)
If you were to look down from the sun at this moment, you would see a beam of scarlet laser light pierce through the atmosphere and disappear into the dark depths of space.
Then, the straight laser beam circled once in the Garden of Eden.
A colossal planet, far beyond the Garden of Eden and exceeding its Garden of Eden size, was instantly cleaved in two, though no one could see it.
It seems that because the width of the laser was so small for an entire planet, much like an electron passing through a human body, it had no effect whatsoever, and therefore the planet did not collapse as a result.
But if the same laser were to sweep across Garden of Eden, it would be a terrible ordeal for humans.
Norton had only turned around once when the mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and torrents of steel that had been surging around him seemed to freeze for a moment, as if a pause had been put on.
As the laser went out, all the resources and strength that the Northern Continent had accumulated over seventy or eighty years of struggle and preparation turned into scrap metal in this phlegm.
Even buildings in first-tier cities and half of the Southern Continent, as well as the Gobi Southern Continent bordering the East Continent, were swept by this laser beam.
The priest Mark, who had just been elated, believing he was about to succeed and achieve immortality, was struck in the chest by the laser beam. His entire body was vaporized by the intense heat, leaving only his two legs under the remaining half of his wheelchair.
But he wasn't the only one who died.
Norton circled around, almost at the same level, or perhaps slightly higher or lower, and all living things that were swept away evaporated.
Fortunately, Garden of Eden became round, fortunately Abraham lay down, and fortunately Norton's attack on Garden of Eden was merely a point that swept around the area, which greatly reduced the destructive range of his laser, possibly only sweeping away a few cities around the imperial capital.
This has already depleted 70% of the Northern Continent's power.
Only a few survivors remained due to the location, and they were still living in the surrounding area.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Abraham touched his scalp, which was burned and would never heal, and looked at the pale monster that had cut through the entire building and then taken flight again. His heart was almost completely silent.
What level of force is this?
Did Jonah, imprisoned in the sun, truly possess the ability to contend with Your Majesty?
"Hahahaha, hahahahahaha..."
Norton returned to the sky, his gaze sweeping downwards.
Everything around him was reduced to ruins by the laser beam he spat out, now a scene of utter devastation.
But this scene made Norton feel exceptionally comfortable. He laughed heartily, and the holiness and indifferent Divinity on his body seemed to disappear again, revealing his long-lost humanity once more.
"Those who dare to betray me will ultimately perish! I am determined to usher in a new Epoch, the destruction of Garden of Eden!"
His arrogant words had just ended.
"Puff!!!"
With the sound of steam rising, the War Machine that had survived due to their altitude started up again in the distance, firing cannons at Norton high in the sky and continuing their attack.
Norton raised his bone sword high, and with the detonation of the Mach rings, he swooped down and crashed to the ground, attacking everything around him like a bulldozer, accompanied by bursts of arrogant and perverse laughter.
Abraham lay there, stunned, watching as His Majesty in the distance wielded his bone sword, plundering the land like a bulldozer, and gazing at the battlefield now reduced to ruins.
The sky had grown increasingly dark, and from Abraham's vantage point, one could even see faint, ethereal shadows, seemingly caused by the intense heat, writhing across the ruins of the battlefield and evaporating into the sky.
And it seems that it is precisely this evaporating phantom that makes the sky grow darker and darker without us even realizing it, as if night has fallen.
