Chapter 494 The Light of Justice in the Moment of Destruction
"Ughhhhhhh!"
The adventurers on the battlefield watched everything unfold before them, erupting in heart-wrenching cries of near collapse. The valiant warriors of the Loki Familia and Freya Familia, the school district members, and the battle prostitutes were no exception.
From Bell mimicking Roy's slash, breaking through the light barrier protecting the Black Dragon Magic Stone; Ota, Leon, Finn, and others launching an attack on it; to the Magic Stone shooting out a beam of death that pierced through everyone, it all happened in an instant!
The consequences were catastrophic!
A beam of molten gold shot out; at such close range, no one could dodge it! Half of Ota's head was swept away and blasted to pieces; Leon's sword, raised to block, was severed along with his greatsword by the beam; Liu, Tiona, and Algana...
Bajie, Allen, and others suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Fortunately, they were on guard!
The black dragon possesses the ability to unleash magical light!
Roy's heart was pierced by demonic light in order to save Alphia. It was information that Roy had obtained at the cost of his life, so how could the others ignore it? They remained vigilant at all times and avoided vital parts at critical moments.
The only exception was Finn.
Activating the magic "Fierce Demon Lance" exchanges intelligence for stats, increasing ability values, but judgment decreases, and reaction is slightly slower than others.
That moment of hesitation can be fatal!
The black dragon's death ray arrived in an instant, sharply tearing through Finn's first-level armor, piercing through flesh and bone, and shattering his heart.
puff!
Finn's body stiffened abruptly!
All his movements, all his thoughts, all his shouts stopped in that instant. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the fist-sized blood hole in his chest, where his beating heart had disappeared.
Blood spilled from Finn's lips.
The next moment, Finn's handsome face, which always exuded wisdom and composure, lost all color at a visible speed, turning deathly pale.
With a clang, Finn's fingers loosened limply, and the golden spear fell heavily to the ground.
"Finn!!"
Riveria, Grace, Ais, and Bert, all members of the Loki Familia, experienced an eye tremor.
In distant Orario, Loki saw Finn in the mirror being pierced through the heart by the black dragon's death ray, and the smile on his face vanished without a trace.
The hall of the Divine Assembly was eerily quiet.
The gods bowed their heads in silence. No one dared to joke at this moment; if Loki remembered it, they would be out of a job in Orario.
"What the hell!"
Loki opened his fox-like, often squinting eyes, his gaze icy, and irritably ruffled his hair, making it look like a bird's nest.
Hestia, sitting next to her, was at a loss.
Astraea, on the other hand, could empathize with the experience; she had tasted this bitterness a year ago.
"Why are you all staring at me? Do you want to die?"
Loki noticed the gods cautiously watching him, glared back fiercely, and cursed.
She suppressed her anger and dissatisfaction.
"I want to join your clan."
"What? How can a dignified god be so indecisive? I saw your ridiculous behavior just now. Since I've volunteered myself, you must be more than happy to accept, right?"
"Besides, as a newly descended deity, you really don't have much right to be picky, do you?"
"I want to revive the Lilliputian race."
"The dwarves need light, they need a new hope to replace the goddess Fiana."
"Loki, if you agree to let me join your kin, I hope you can promise me a few things first, otherwise this proposal will be dropped on the spot."
"I have two conditions for your exchange. First, as I said before, you must help me revive my people; second, you must not obstruct my decisions."
...
Loki recalled a scene from many years ago, Finn's voice echoing in his ears.
Finn was the first familiar she recruited after descending to the mortal realm, or rather, the first one to come to her. When she met this little man, his attitude was quite "arrogant" and haughty, but she was extremely excited.
Loki knew he had to accept the other party!
Meanwhile, on the northern battlefield...
"To die the same way as him, what an honor!" Finn looked at the bloody hole in his chest, a helpless yet resigned smile on his face, and sighed.
Roy managed to hold on until he unleashed his slash, nearly killing the black dragon; at LV.7, he wouldn't have collapsed on the spot.
Finn then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The battle is not over yet. Pick up your weapons. In this battle, no one is indispensable. We all share one goal: to defeat the evil dragon that has threatened the world for thousands of years and save the world!"
His loud voice echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
As soon as he finished speaking, the light in Finn's eyes dimmed like a candle flickering in the wind. Under the gaze of countless nearly collapsing eyes, the adventurer hailed as the "hero" collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
On the northern battlefields, and indeed around the world, a deathly silence descended, and people's faces turned ashen.
Finn is not just the leader of the Loki Familia, but also the commander-in-chief of this campaign!
His death dealt an immeasurable blow to the morale of the Allied forces and the expectations of people around the world. Although Finn tried his best to mitigate this impact before his death, the effect was minimal.
What's even more devastating is the rebirth of the black dragon!
laugh!laugh!laugh!
From within that enormous purple magic stone came a sound like the beating of a heart in an abyss, and suddenly burst forth a thick black mist that devoured light.
These black mists seem to have a life of their own!
The black mist solidified, transforming into organs, flesh, scales, and bone wings—the enormous body was perfectly reshaped!
Less than three seconds!
The overwhelming, world-destroying shadow once again stood in the sky, reflected in everyone's eyes, and a chilling pressure swept over them, freezing their souls.
Roar!
The world-destroying black dragon let out a long roar that shattered the heavens. Its enormous wings, which blotted out the sun, suddenly flapped, and a violent airflow swept down like a tangible tsunami, lifting dust and gravel from the ground into the sky.
Its mountain-like form cast a suffocating shadow of death under the gloomy sky.
"Completely immortal?"
"How can I kill this guy?"
Desperate whispers, broken murmurs, and powerless sobs escaped from the adventurers' mouths, an extreme sense of despair permeating their entire bodies and enveloping their hearts.
Finn was the first high-ranking adventurer to fall, but the allied forces had suffered considerable casualties before him.
The black dragon's breath, gravity barrier, and death beam are all attacks with an extremely large range; adventurers below level 6 will die instantly if they are hit by even a small amount.
They put in so much effort and paid such a high price, yet they saw absolutely no hope of victory.
How can anyone keep going?!
The adventurers of the allied forces looked up at the black dragon that almost filled their field of vision in mid-air, their eyes filled with emptiness and a desolate grayness from which all fear had been drained.
Ota, Leon, and the others noticed the change in the morale of the allied forces and could understand it; the other adventurers did not have their strength and had already done their best.
Even if only they are left, they must fight!
"What a joke! We haven't avenged our captain yet, how could we possibly fall down!" Ryu, Tione, Ariseh, and the other girls of the Astrea Familia drank the Heavenly Elixir and gritted their teeth.
Together with Ota, Leon, Allen, and others, they used the sky warship suspended in mid-air as a springboard, leaping up like cannonballs and charging towards the black dragon.
The clash of blades, the shadows of guns, the whistling of warhammers, and the radiance of magic—an overwhelming barrage of deadly attacks rained down.
But against a fully healthy Black Dragon, the allied forces, nearing their limits, were simply no match.
Roar!
The black dragon's tail, covered with hard bone spikes and scales, transformed into a swift, giant steel whip, sweeping fiercely towards the oncoming figure with a muffled, piercing roar!
At the same moment, the black dragon flapped its wings, creating a violent gust of air that could tear apart steel.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The dull thuds continued!
Ota, Leon, Tione, and the others were sent flying by the enormous shadow, blood gushing from their mouths. They flew at an even greater speed than when they had charged forward, tracing several tragic parabolic arcs before crashing heavily to the ground below.
The earth shook violently, stirring up clouds of dust!
"Damn it!" The battered and bruised Tione slammed his fist into the ground, staring at the black dragon a thousand meters in the sky, his crimson eyes filled with helplessness and anger.
Others reacted in the same way.
Even these top adventurers, who had accomplished countless great feats, whose beliefs had been tempered and whose will was unwavering, felt a deep sense of despair at this moment.
"Will the fate of Zeus and Hera's kin be repeated?"
People around the world, seeing the scene in the mirror—the impending annihilation of the allied forces—felt uneasy.
However, people soon discovered it.
It's not just the Orario Alliance that will be wiped out; the entire world will face destruction!
The black dragon ceased its soaring, its massive body hovering atop the sky, shrouding the heavens. Its molten gold vertical pupils gazed down, the monster's ferocity and savagery vanishing, leaving only an icy indifference—as if it were a god above all things.
"What is that?"
At this moment, not only the adventurers on the northern battlefield, but people all over the world felt a sense of dread and got goosebumps all over their bodies.
A terrifying power erupted from the black dragon, spreading wildly like clear ripples across the vast sky and reaching the entire world.
Everyone could sense a certain change.
Countless people on the ground looked up at the sky, and in the reflection of their pupils, which were shrunken to their extremes, the great sun, which should have been out of reach, rapidly grew larger in their field of vision at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Is the sun about to set?"
The sun's outline grew larger and larger in everyone's eyes, swallowing up half of the sky, and the churning prominences and sunspots on its surface were clearly visible.
"Oh no, it's the power of Clio!"
"Black Dragon really knows how to use those guys' powers!"
"The seal hasn't been completely broken yet!"
The gods immediately sensed the presence of divine power, their expressions changed drastically, and their voices were filled with horror.
Crios, one of the nine gods devoured by the black dragon, was the god in charge of the "celestial bodies," whose status was above Apollo, known as the "sun god," and Astraeus, who was in charge of the "stars."
"Interrupt it now!"
Hermes shouted at the eye-shaped crystal, "That's a sun modeled by divine power, but its power is no different; it will burn this world to ashes!"
His words were transmitted to the northern battlefield through the eye crystal, and then spread to the whole world by the divine mirror.
People all over the world are getting goosebumps.
It's sizzling!It's sizzling!
As the blazing sun in the sky swelled ever higher, the terrifying heat swept across the world like an invisible tsunami, and the air was no longer—
It wasn't gas, but rather bursting forth with raging flames, turning everything crimson in their eyes, as if they had fallen into a desperate hell of death.
Under extreme heat, space itself is violently distorted, and the scenery becomes blurred.
Click! Click! Click!
The solid earth groaned in anguish!
The moisture evaporated rapidly, the forest burst into flames, the ground cracked, and huge, bottomless fissures glowed with a dark red light, covering the scorched wasteland!
'
""
At this moment, there were no gasps, no screams!
The adventurers who survived on the battlefield, and people from all over the world, were as if petrified, staring blankly at the blazing sun that dominated the sky.
Sealed blessings? Crushing gravity? Immortality and rebirth?
Before this absolute power that rewrites the heavens, simulates a star impact, and throws the entire world into a scorching furnace, everything else seems so insignificant and laughable!
They finally understood.
Not through words, but through scorched skin, ignited air, distorted vision, and the crumbling, melting earth before my eyes!
That is the divine power that transcends all living beings and wields the power to destroy all things—the power of world destruction!
The black dragon that will bring the end of the world!
Faced with the urging of the gods, the Orario Alliance was helpless and in pain. Who else could stop the Black Dragon?
Ota? Leon?
Even these two "strongest" fighters are already half-dead after fighting for so long, with their physical and mental strength greatly depleted, not to mention the others.
Bell forced his eyelids open, his gaze sweeping over the mangled bodies of his comrades around him, the flowing blood silently telling of their tragic end.
Finished!
It's all over!
An unprecedented sense of despair and helplessness seemed to transform into a cold, venomous snake, tightly coiling around and gnawing at Bell's remaining consciousness. His knees buckled, and he collapsed heavily onto the scorched, cracked earth. Hot tears mixed with blood slid down his weary face.
The black dragon showed no mercy. The blazing sun in everyone's eyes grew increasingly exaggerated, filling their entire eye sockets, and the all-consuming star crashed straight into them.
The world is doomed in the next moment!
"don't want-!!"
Bell stared at the sky with bloodshot eyes, his mouth churning with despair, letting out a desperate roar.
Rumble!!
A terrifying explosion that tore through the chaos shattered the deathly silence of the entire world without warning!
A golden bolt of lightning, as bright as the sun, like a divine spear of judgment, fiercely tore through the thick, suffocating clouds of doom!
Its speed and power are unparalleled!
Bell's clear, bloodshot eyes, blurred by tears, reflected the passing golden lightning, which slammed into the black dragon that was activating its power in mid-air.
Awoo!
The black dragon let out a piercing howl that shattered mountains. Its massive body was engulfed in the roar of thunder, and the raging golden lightning transformed into billions of wildly dancing dragons, tearing at its skin and flesh.
The earth-shattering explosion shook the entire world, and the dazzling flames illuminated the sky!
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Gods and people from all over the world, all the survivors on the battlefield—the dying Ota and Leon, the spiritually exhausted Riveria and Hedin, the seriously injured Tione and Tiona—that golden lightning that tore through despair was deeply engraved in their minds.
who is it?
No, the answer is obvious!
That familiar golden lightning, that signature magic that needed no incantation—the hearts in everyone's chests pounded wildly, as if they were about to burst out.
