Chapter 2711: Chapter 1834: Bloody Slaughter
When Duanmu Huai arrived at the Titanium Clan Embassy, he was pleased to see that it had been thoroughly dyed red with blood, the subspace magic in the air spreading all around. The Titanium Clan’s sacrilegious and ugly building was now completely distorted, as if it had been painted over with blood, filled with the stench of blood. The streets were covered with flowing blood and corpses.
The walls that originally had ugly geometric shapes had grown long bone spikes with heads of the Titanium Clan hanging from them. Clearly, the Titanium Clan could not stand long against the attack from the followers of Brutal Wrath and the Demons. Duanmu Huai also saw the tortured, devastated corpses of the Titanium Clan members; he wasn’t surprised at all—considering the Titanium Clan’s innate disadvantage and disdain for close combat, you can imagine how scared they were when those demons, wielding weapons, charged at them.
The previously present undead soldiers were completely consumed, but their loss was not without gain. At least the main entrance, which should have been crowded, was now just a pile of blood-drenched charcoal. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai saw the embassy’s surroundings gradually enveloped in blood red, centered on the embassy itself.
"It’s been so long since I’ve seen such a sight."
Looking at the barrier ahead, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but feel nostalgic. The last time he saw something like this was at the Brutal Wrath stronghold in the Novice’s Village. At that time, there was an Evil God Altar that unfolded a barrier like this. As long as you fought within it, regardless of who won or lost, it would strengthen the power of the Evil God. It was indeed a troublesome issue, but back then, Duanmu Huai used a sly trick, destroying the altar from outside the barrier and then charging in to take out the cultists.
But now he wasn’t afraid, and at the same time, Duanmu Huai knew what he had to face.
The battles along the way not only strengthened Duanmu Huai but also another Evil God, with chaotic conflicts, battles, massacres, destruction, and fury.
As the saying goes, peers are rivals.
And now, in front of Duanmu Huai, his rival appeared.
"You all stand back."
Duanmu Huai stared at the embassy ahead, shining with a crimson glow like blood, dropped his War Hammer, and an aura emerged, placing a Thunder Warhammer in his hand. He raised his head, coldly staring ahead. At this moment, Mary and Mianmu Zuo Niao seemed to sense something too and quickly distanced themselves from Duanmu Huai. Then, grasping the warhammer, Duanmu Huai strode forward.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Duanmu Huai’s pace wasn’t fast, but his heavy footsteps shook the ground like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. As he approached, streaks of blood gradually appeared in the embassy’s windows and door gaps ahead, as if the overflowing blood inside could no longer be contained and was about to spill out.
Finally, they burst forth.
"Swoosh!!!"
The blood broke through the windows and doors, soaking the entire ground. Duanmu Huai stopped, looking at the tall figure standing on the other side of the door. It was not as tall as before, but still towering, holding a Brass Saw Axe and wearing Blood Armor. Its eyes were filled with rage as it stared at Duanmu Huai, who returned the gaze with equal fury.
Brutal Wrath.
God of Destruction.
Duanmu Huai was the only one in this domain who wouldn’t enhance Brutal Wrath’s power because his divine position aligned almost identically with Brutal Wrath.
Fighting, slaughtering, and destroying all human enemies.
And unfortunately, this damned Chaos Evil God was also an enemy of humanity.
"This time, I’ll really let you taste my power."
Duanmu Huai gripped the warhammer tighter. By destroying Space Undead, Genetic Thief, and those heretic traitors, the core of the God of Destruction in Duanmu Huai’s divine realm was now blazing fiercely.
Similarly, the Brutal Wrath, after battles with mutants, the Planet Defense Force, Genetic Thief, and the Titanium Clan, was also ablaze with boiling blood-red flames.
Both sides were ready, or maybe not, but it didn’t matter. Like two boxers stepping into the ring, once the bell rings, regardless of your preparation, a life-and-death battle is about to begin.
"Come on, old guy."
Duanmu Huai extended his hand, hooking his finger at the giant before him.
"This time there’s no one to interrupt us."
The crimson warrior gripped his battle axe, staring at Duanmu Huai, then started moving forward—first into a jog, then sprinting. Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai tightened his grip on the war hammer and raised it high!
"———————————!!"
Like a nuclear explosion, the blast shook the entire hive city. The clash of the two deities’ unfettered powers shattered everything around them into pieces.
"Aha!"
Mianmu Zuo Niao dodged a building remnant that was almost scraping past her, then drew her weapon, intending to rush into the battlefield ahead—only to be grasped quickly by Mary.
"Miss Zuo Niao, that’s a domain we can’t approach!"
"Huh?"
"Please be patient, we have our own tasks to handle!"
"Our tasks?"
Hearing Mary’s advice, Mianmu Zuo Niao was slightly dissatisfied, but she pouted and nodded.
"Alright..."
Holding onto Mianmu Zuo Niao, Mary lowered her head to retreat while reestablishing contact with Lumiaire.
"Miss Lumiaire, can you hear me?"
"Of course, the Hive City hasn’t collapsed yet, but I think it’s about to... What’s the matter?"
"I hope you can investigate the current situation of the entire Hive City."
"Now?"
Lumiere was somewhat surprised.
"Hasn’t the Great Judge already squared off with the Evil God? And in each world, there’s only one Evil God, right?"
"That’s indeed correct, but I’m a little worried..."
Mary stared at the battlefield in front of her. She had heard Duanmu Huai talk about the situation of the Four Chaos Gods, and Duanmu Huai also told her that Brutal Wrath is the least worrisome one because it would definitely face off head-on.
But as for the other characters, it’s hard to say, especially... Cunning Deception.
Mary remembered that Duanmu Huai always complained about that bastard who loved scheming and plotting, never fighting a straightforward battle. Indeed, according to logic, there should only be one Evil God in this game world. Since Brutal Wrath is in this world, then Cunning Deception must not be.
However, recalling the series of events since arriving in this world, especially the Electronic Demon, the Technology Priest of the Heretic, the series of riots and conflicts, Mary had a feeling it all seemed like a conspiracy by Cunning Deception. It seemed to deliberately draw Duanmu Huai away, letting him meet Brutal Wrath here.
After all, Mary remembered that the initial trigger of everything was Duanmu Huai’s visit to the Governor’s House, and the Contemplator there was immediately invaded, drawing his attention. If it hadn’t happened, Duanmu Huai wouldn’t have investigated those odd places and delved into the Space Undead Tomb underground.
And the fact is, the riot happened as Duanmu Huai delved into the Space Undead Tomb.
Mary didn’t know how the riot started, but she felt that Cunning Deception must have gone to great lengths, creating such a big circle, not just to delay Duanmu Huai’s confrontation with Brutal Wrath.
Something else was certainly hidden within.
After all, Duanmu Huai had told Mary that the relationships between the Chaos Evil Gods were far from good. If there was an opportunity to simultaneously eliminate Duanmu Huai and Brutal Wrath, putting herself in Cunning Deception’s position, Mary would consider this a great chance too.
But the question is, what exactly does the opponent want to achieve...
Mary lowered her head again, letting a five-story-tall metal building spin as it flew over her head, roaring as it crashed into the residential area on the other side of the Hive City. At this moment, the entire Hive City was in chaos. The battle between two deities couldn’t be endured by this small Hive City, yet precisely because of this, Mary grew more worried.
After all, Duanmu Huai had said that Cunning Deception loved "everything is within plan."
So, is this scene now also "within the plan"?
"I understand."
Upon hearing Mary’s worries, Lumiere immediately grasped her meaning.
"I will scan the entire Hive City at the fastest speed. Most sensors and networks are still functional, but if the Great Judge continues fighting, it’s hard to say..."
"Boom!"
The dome trembled.
Lumiere raised her head to glance at the shaking, splendid dome. The sounds of panicked cries and running from the servants outside didn’t faze the girl at all; she had been through countless battles, even before joining the Tribunal. She had endured scenes far worse than the current condition, but that wasn’t important now. Although Mary’s speculation was groundless, Lumiere still thought Mary’s idea wasn’t impossible.
So, what plan did Cunning Deception design?
As her thoughts wandered in the ocean of information, Lumiere pondered this question. She had acted alongside Duanmu Huai for a while and knew Duanmu Huai indeed disliked intricate plots and schemes, most of the time believing in raw strength.
Can’t win is because the fist isn’t big enough.
So that character called Cunning Deception is undoubtedly incompatible with Duanmu Huai.
Wait...
At that moment, something seemed to strike Lumiere, and her expression slightly changed. The girl moved her finger slightly, causing a surge in the information ocean, exploring deeper into it, and soon Lumiere discovered...
"Bang!!"
A gunshot rang.
When Lumiere regained her senses, she found herself somehow embraced by Ling’Nu, with dozens of fully armed soldiers in front of them, weapons aimed at them.
"This is...?"
"Clearly, the enemy isn’t just below."
Ling’Nu, holding Lumiere, spoke cheerfully, then made a grimace at the soldiers opposite.
"They’ve already killed the Emperor, and we’re next, so... let’s run first!"
After saying that, Ling’Nu flicked her left hand, and with a loud bang, dense smoke immediately covered the entire corridor. Meanwhile, the soldiers quickly fired, beams tearing through the smoke, wrecking the Contemplator in the depths.
At the same moment, Ling’Nu and Lumiere vanished without a trace.
