Chapter 213: Chapter 105: The Fall of a Level 10 Archbishop
WHOOSH...
Within the churning gray mist, it was as if Death itself was watching.
The power of the Golden Arm radiated, permeating a vast area.
Within the [Divine Kingdom], amidst the thick, heavy Calamity Black Mist, the Golden Throne flickered in and out of view.
Zorn, like a supreme Divine Spirit, looked down upon the entire Gray Mist World.
In the original timeline, Zorn Corick’s Divine Kingdom had fallen.
For one, his [Evil Spirit Wizard] Sequence was flawed, which meant his Witchcraft Abilities were not particularly strong.
Furthermore, Zorn Corick was either fleeing or on the run, giving him no time to cultivate a sufficient number of powerful Witchcrafts.
He held no advantage whatsoever in Witchcraft confrontations.
But the Zorn of today was different.
Having developed in multiple areas—the Ancient God Curse, Divine Kingdom Skills, and Forbidden Potions—he now held an absolute advantage in Witchcraft confrontations alone.
And this was without him even obtaining a Middle Rank Level Ancient God Curse.
If he were to get a Middle Rank Level Ancient God Curse and his Tree of Divine Kingdom Magic Ring were to bloom again...
...then a Level 10 Transcendent would explode on the spot just from a single glance.
Moreover, in the original timeline, the more powerful form that "Zorn Corick" entered after his Resurrection had been thoroughly studied by others.
This was what ultimately led to the "Zorn Corick" of the original timeline, who was beset by internal and external threats and attacked from all sides...
...to suffer a crushing defeat in his Divine Kingdom and ultimately fall!
The Zorn Corick of today was a different story.
Especially when it came to wielding the power of a Divine Kingdom, no one understood how to use Egunus’s "Ancient Divine Kingdom" better than Zorn.
Now, Zorn’s strength was immense.
If the two powerful Archbishops outside still wanted to deal with Zorn, it would all depend on what price they were willing to pay.
The two Archbishops from Saintisman exchanged a glance.
They quickly spread out within the gray mist.
One to the left and one to the right, they launched another ferocious assault on Zorn’s Steam Magical Castle.
They had already paid a terrible price to hunt down Zorn Corick today.
If they retreated now, the sunk costs would be far too great.
Rather than retreat, it was better to find a way to completely eliminate Zorn Corick right here and now.
According to the oracle of the Holy Fierce Sun...
...in every era’s great tide, there are unique tide-riders, the favored children of the age.
They can ride the tides of the era, surging forward and growing stronger at an astonishing rate.
This Zorn could be the tide-rider of the Northern Border Region’s Chapter. The lucky one.
All the more reason to eliminate him completely.
At the same time, the sounds of battle from Middle Rank Level Transcendents echoed from the surrounding streets.
The Transcendents from Ancient Porcelain Holy City had arrived as reinforcements.
The combined attack of two top-tier Level 10 Middle Rank powerhouses left Zorn’s Steam Magical Castle’s barrier in a precarious state.
Just then...
RUMBLE...
The heavens and the earth trembled violently.
The two attacking Archbishops’ expressions turned exceptionally grim and solemn.
They could feel it—the power of the terrifying Ancient God Curse.
One must remember that Saintisman’s crushing defeat in Ogrande City had been due to the power of this very same terrifying Ancient God Curse.
And now!
The terrifying Ancient God Curse was about to descend.
It wasn’t just the two Archbishops at close range who felt this terrifying power. The many Transcendents from Ancient Porcelain Holy City, who were rushing in as reinforcements from a distance, also felt their spirits tremble.
The Ancient God Curse that had once appeared in Ogrande City...
...was now descending once more upon Ancient Porcelain Holy City!
Many strained to widen their eyes, staring at the descent of that terrifying power.
A massive amount of Calamity Black Mist transformed into a hazy, illusory, and terrifying hand, like a Giant Beast breaking free from the depths of the gray mist.
It slammed down toward the Forbidden Archbishop "Lucifer," one of the two men, in a crushing grip.
The Spatial Layer Realm itself was continuously shattering.
Archbishop "Lucifer’s" expression darkened slightly.
This terrifying Ancient God Curse was clearly aimed at him.
His figure rippled with the fluctuations of the Spatial Layer Realm as he leaped to a distant street with incredible speed.
When he turned back around, his heart sank.
He saw that the terrifying Ancient God Curse had already locked onto him perfectly in the phase of the realm; no matter where he fled, it was bound to land on him.
’Heh heh... A Spirit Realm phase. This guy really has some tricks up his sleeve. To think this unremarkable castle possesses such a powerful [Spiritual Realm].’
As the thought crossed his mind, Lucifer unleashed one Witchcraft after another.
Layer upon layer of powerful defensive energy gathered and interwove.
Since he couldn’t escape, he had to withstand this blow with all his might.
After all, he had absorbed a massive amount of Forbidden Blood, and his own Sequence was extraordinarily powerful, comparable to a Lord Level existence.
’Even a powerful Ancient God Curse might not be able to kill me.’
RUMBLE...
The endless gray mist billowed outward in all directions like a storm.
The massive Ancient God’s Hand slammed down.
CRACK... CRACK... CRACK...
Archbishop Lucifer’s body became increasingly twisted and contorted, and jagged cracks began to appear on him.
As Zorn revealed his core technique...
...the power of the [Divine Kingdom] erupted from its very core.
From deep within the Ancient God’s Hand, an utterly grief-stricken and furious roar echoed.
"No... Divine... Kingdom..."
The grief-stricken roar rose to a crescendo, then abruptly stopped.
’Divine Kingdom?’
The Holy Fierce Sun Archbishop "Helios," who had been about to resist, felt his heart tremble violently.
He gazed into the distance and could faintly see the Wandering Soul of Lucifer seemingly roaring within the grasp of the coalescing Ancient God’s Hand.
