Chapter 784: Final Battle (Part 9)
What would happen when multiple Chaos Main Gods simultaneously appeared on the same battlefield?
Everyone would sink into panic and fear. All dimensional laws would become distorted. The Chaos Main Gods using their full powers would cause the evident collapse of Order in this area.
No light remained in the sky. Even those with night vision were unable to see more than 100 meters away, as all light would be devoured.
Clouds no longer needed to exist. Various dimensional crevices were torn open to reveal the void that nobody comprehended. Nobody had ever returned after being devoured by the void, after all.
The law of gravity was rewritten as gigantic rocks suddenly flew into the air before crashing down again. A calamity of mythic proportions was right in front of everyone as the mortals returned to an ancient time of battles between Gods.
This land had already experienced far too many wars. The dimensional laws here were already tattered, as this land had long since lost the protection of the Gods, unlike how the Hell Gods would maintain Hell’s stability for the battlefields.
Even surviving such a battlefield would become a feat of epic proportions, but this would be highly difficult.
The bronze War God smiled in delight as he swung around his greatsword, shattering various mountains and castle walls. No mortal was able to attract his attention at all, but anyone unlucky enough to be within his sword’s reach wouldn’t possibly manage to escape.
Those who were accidentally stepped on to death were probably the most fortunate, as their deaths were really quick and painless. Anyone who was caught within Donatis’s domain of fury would forever be forced to battle furiously and slaughter others until the last drop of their blood was gone.
This wasn’t even a special domain ability or superpower. It was simply that all intelligent creatures in the nearby area would become affected by Donatis’s fervor for battle and be infected by his desire to destroy everything until nothing remained.
The black-winged demon in the sky also abandoned his prey as he glided around Donatis with seemingly slow speed that was actually quite quick. It was likely that even Sophocles himself didn’t know whether his next prey was myself or Donatis, as every single word Sophocles the Deceiver said would lack credibility and trustworthiness.
“Getting ganged up on by two Main Gods? This is such an honor…”
I smiled wryly while releasing a blinding light with my Dawn sword that I gently held on to. Dawn became the only source of light here as it dispelled the darkness. However, Dawn’s Holy Light also revealed my own burning desire to do battle.
“It’s been so long since I was able to go all out without needing to consider anything else at all.”
Perhaps Donatis’s fervor had infected me, or perhaps it was because I had no way to retreat, as even I was feeling my blood boil now.
Great distances would mean nothing to a Main God.
*Boom!*
My physical vision was meaningless. My instincts told me that Donatis was already right before me. The thunderous boom that rattled my eardrums was actually the sound of wind from his sword swing!
My ears and eyes were useless, but my instinct was furiously warning me that a fatal threat was right above me. However, I simply started muttering in a low voice.
“Equality…”
My tiny sword of light was less than a toothpick compared to Donatis’s mega greatsword. But, when these two swords clashed, the entire world heard the loud clamor as the lightless battlefield became illuminated with a blinding white light which far exceeded what would come from the sun. Everyone was blinded by the overwhelming amount of light after the tremendous darkness.
Thanks to this flash of light, everyone witnessed something really inconceivable. Even the Main God Devourer Barbarot paused in his slaughter as his mouth opened wide agape in astonishment.
The undefeated War God Donatis was sent flying backwards and kept rolling around and around in the sky, as if he was someone unlucky sent reincarnated into another world by a truck. Donatis then crashed into the ground and kept rolling and rolling, destroying two fortresses and a large mountain along the way.
The undefeated War God was sent flying like a bat hitting a home run ball, as if he was a complete novice.
This frightening impact was difficult for even Donatis to absorb. Even though he mitigated much of the impact by rolling, he was still rendered unable to move for quite a while. But, judging by how his eyes were burning even brighter with fervor, this sensation of pain which he had forgotten for so long already had only served to ignite his desire to battle even more.
“Hahahaha, as expected of Roland. That battle back at Hell before was really fun. Now, you’re giving me new excitement! Let’s continue!”
Donatis supported himself with his arm, intending on getting up, but then he discovered that even his adamantite-like body was unable to bear the might of such an impact, as his entire arm was now covered in cracks.
Donatis then laughed uproariously in such a loud voice that half the battlefield could hear him. Yet, he received no response, as I was currently… working hard at digging myself out of a hole after performing such a miracle blow.
“Ptui, ptui! So much sand.”
I was half kneeling with my golden Dawn sword inserted into the ground. Blinding Holy Light wings surrounded my sword while I helplessly looked at where my right arm and right hand should have been there holding my sword.
“Isn’t this too ridiculous to lose this much of my body…”
My right arm was now completely missing. I couldn’t even cosplay as Yang Guo if I wanted, because even my right shoulder had completely vanished. [TL note: Yang Guo is the one-armed protagonist of a famous wuxia novel by Louis Cha.]
Such a severe injury normally should have immediately killed anyone, yet my injury was strangely covered in a faint white light that didn’t allow even a single drop of blood to fall.
“I really shouldn’t have been so foolish as to go for a direct exchange of blows. I was already forced to use the new ace that I just obtained. This is such a loss for me. I was intending on using this trick later during an exchange of injuries.”
Dawn’s light had expanded into Holy Light wings. The Lord of Thunder’s shadow was furiously fluttering his wings, but finally everything returned to calmness as more and more light gathered upon my injury.
However, I no longer had the time to be concerned about my injury.
The black-winged Sophocles was about to begin a second round of attacks on me. I originally thought that Donatis’s pitiful condition would make the cautious Sophocles to retreat, yet this actually invoked Sophocles’ vicious inner nature as a demon.
Even though Sophocles appeared rather laughable in his golden armor covered with flashing magical runes, his demonic and vicious expression had already exposed his determination. He was willing to even risk serious injury as long as he had the opportunity to finally kill such a scary enemy of his.
The light on the right side of my body finally dissipated to reveal that my right arm and hand had been completely restored. I opened up my own wings of light and flew right towards him while holding my Dawn sword.
“You want to try and beat me while I’m down? Measure your own strength first, Afu!”
“My name is Sophocles!”
This time, Dawn didn’t clash against a greatsword.
My light form gradually got closer to the gigantic dark demon. Our light and darkness intersected and…
“Hah.”
Right before we clashed, I flew downwards while he flew upwards. Both of us missed each other.
“Stop dodging if you dare!”
“Cowardly mortal, it seems that you don’t have the courage to have a direct fight after all.”
We kept taunting each other. He didn’t dare to have a direct confrontation since he couldn’t comprehend my ability, and I also felt that Sophocles absolutely wasn’t the brawny type who would try a direct confrontation without any trickery.
“Ha, I’ve already seen through your little trick. Isn’t that the light-absorbing armor from the Haletdam generation? That’s a toy that I threw away because I was bored with it. Did you obtain it from the Sky Tower?”
“…How is it possible? How could you possibly know? I already killed everyone who knows about this!”
I was rendered speechless by Sophocles response. I was just saying something completely random, yet it actually turned out to be true.
I also carefully maintained my distance from Sophocles. It seemed that I had injured him so severely last time that he even made a personal armor for himself out of a “sun energy storage armor form x” blueprint.
This rare armor invented during the Haletdam generation was the natural counter to light. Although it was called a type of sun energy storage armor, it was actually capable of forcefully absorbing all types of light within it. I had exclaimed how this armor was practically the natural enemy of Holy Light back when I saw its blueprint in the ruins. If it wasn’t for how the base materials were far too difficult to obtain, I really would have wanted to make a set for myself and attack the Holy Church… Er, I meant I should probably research how a Demon Main God managed to obtain so many high-level light-type resources.
