Chapter 818: Chapter 421: It’s Time to Begin the Real Escape Plan (Part 2)
"What are you looking at here? Others are charging up, what are you waiting for? Waiting to die?"
Alice only found the goddess too noisy, and since she already had the power of the chosen one, she simply blocked the voice of the Goddess of Death and Magic.
"She’s so noisy."
Alice said irritably.
Olivia’s mouth was slightly open, momentarily unsure of what to say.
Alice was always so bold, always doing things no ordinary person dared to do.
But she no longer had the energy to think about these things now.
She said, trembling with fear:
"I feel unprecedented information waves around, it’s almost like..."
"A great being is ascending." Alice calmly added, "My goddess just noticed this issue, she said a new peer is about to be born."
Olivia felt a chill all over.
At this point in time, there weren’t many beings qualified to ascend.
Among them, the one closest to this trajectory, and the one constantly attacked by all forces, was essentially only one.
"Love God... Dark Side?!"
She gritted her teeth, momentarily unable to understand why this was happening.
The two were hidden within their own spaces, releasing power across the void to influence the Black Sun, with two patriarchs blocking in front, they didn’t need to worry about the barrier of the subspace being breached.
But the Black Sun was too strong, and the two could only watch the patriarchs fight till exhaustion.
Leaving the subspace, they could exert more power, but were resolutely rejected by the others.
Bart Jean made it clear at the time that under no circumstances should the two go to the frontline.
Even if they died, they wouldn’t let them get involved.
Bart Jean’s words were clear:
"With your abilities, you can’t decide the battle’s outcome. I know you think that if things truly get heated, you won’t want to fight but have no choice but to do so, there’s no escape, but that’s after we die."
Bart said with a serious and earnest look in his eyes:
"You should understand what we’re really worried about."
Olivia was silent at that time.
She was not the kind who sacrificed herself for others.
She chose to fight, as Bart said, simply because when the Black Sun descended, she, whether willing or not, would be drawn into battle.
Unless they had a way to delay the fight until the Black Sun vanished, or until Louis arrived.
It was with this in mind that she decided on a desperate fight.
But Bart and the others refused.
"You should be more aware than anyone else, whether it’s for the stars’ situation, for relations between the two countries, or for our own safety, you cannot have any mishaps."
Bart said this with fear in his eyes.
"I don’t want to see Louis go mad, without you, who will stop him?"
Olivia was silent.
This was the greatest issue. Despite the Black Sun appearing in the sky, threatening everyone’s life below.
But in fact, even if Olivia and her comrades didn’t hurry over to reveal the truth, these seasoned demigods were wise enough to guess the truth.
After all... If the Knight of the Scorching Sun could guess it, there was no reason they couldn’t.
Upon arrival, Olivia realized she had overthought.
But...
A Divine Realm capable of only a brief burst, though strong and dangerous, was not fundamentally different from the patriarchs of the Stone Guardian families.
But if Louis went mad...
Who would stop a Louis capable of sustained Divine Realm power, commanding a legion that would never die?
In truth, Louis always hid a key piece of information, rarely shared with outsiders.
Or rather, almost every demigod guessed what he was hiding but chose to ignore it, keeping the secret to themselves.
They owed Louis a debt of gratitude.
Because...
If the incomplete Book of the Dead could already arbitrarily control the King of the Living Dead, managing an endless undead legion.
Then why did Louis need to negotiate with countries to convert the dead into Curse Binding Legion members once the Book of the Dead’s power was complete?
How could perfected rule strength decrease?
The truth was...
The Prince Ense was a kind and moral person.
He didn’t wish to disturb the dead’s peace.
The Book of the Dead’s power was too dangerous, akin to the power of great sin, if carelessly abused, it could trigger a doomsday disaster.
Thus...
He chose to suppress it all.
Using human morals, he set rules for using the Book of the Dead’s power to self-regulate, ensuring everything wouldn’t develop in a dreaded direction.
Bart Jean knew this.
Of course, Olivia knew this too.
The strong always have the ability to break the limits, so don’t let your actions force others to break limits.
Compared to the Black Sun, compared to what lurks behind it, an unrestrained Louis would be more terrifying.
Thus the dragon and bird fallen from the sky chose to fight to the death rather than let the two join in.
But is it even a question of whether they wanted to join?
As the Black Sun shattered, an avalanche of information from the city gathered quickly.
The closer to the doomsday elegy, the higher life’s emotions surged.
Greed, wrath, anger, arrogance...
Yearning, passion, loyalty, protection...
All emotions increased tenfold or even more than tenfold, explosively.
Dozens of people in dark robes appeared in midair.
They were the most faithful followers of the Dark Side of the Love God, the church’s core strength now.
They were wrapped in endless curses.
The intensely swelling emotions are the firewood they needed to pick up this time, burning brightly with their bodies as the furnace.
The only thing extracted from the infinite flames was one thing.
The intertwining of love and desire.
This was a sacrifice made with the nations’ core appearance as the sacrificial array.
In this surging sacrifice, a fictional deity finally shed its fictional nature after a hundred years, descending as a real divine presence upon the world.
"Ah! Ah! What a blasphemy!"
As a Knight of Love, Sack let out a pained wail.
He had never seen such blasphemous scenes.
Yet he had to painfully admit that whether willing or not, the moment the Dark Side of the Love God was born, the Love God he longed for was fiercely stripped of its authority.
He couldn’t accept this outcome and wanted to fight the other.
"Hahaha, such fools, how lucky you are to witness the birth of our god!"
"Oh God, please cleanse this loveless world, letting all love and hate find their peace!"
The followers of the Dark Side of the Love God laughed wildly.
Suddenly, someone turned to look at Tal Griffin.
They showed gratitude and benevolence on their faces.
"Thank you, Lord Tal, for assisting our god’s birth, from today on, the Griffin Family will forever be partners with the Dark Side of the Love God Church."
There was an uproar below.
A demigod stepped out in anger.
"Tal!!!"
"How dare you do something like this!"
They had thought the internal struggle between both sides was fierce, but never had they imagined Tal would boldly involve himself in the matters of the Dark Side of the Love God.
Tal Griffin said nothing, smiling as he stood among the Dark Side of the Love God’s experts.
The experts in the Dark Side of the Love God saw their power rise rapidly upon their faith completing its ascension.
Though there were still gaps, they protectively and mockingly surrounded Tal.
As they said, Tal was a reliable ally, even if it meant opposing the Lokeshi Empire...
Tick!
The experts of the Dark Side of the Love God dumbfoundedly looked down at their chests.
Pure and beautiful ice spears pierced their bodies from behind.
Endless cold emanated from behind.
They spewed blood instantly, stiffly turning to look back.
Only to see Tal Griffin’s face without a trace of remorse.
They fell painfully to the ground, feeling even their souls were freezing.
Silence fell.
No one understood what was happening?
Why did the traitor suddenly mercilessly strike down the cultists?
"Finally, it’s time to begin the true... escape plan."
