Chapter 834: Chaos In Hall Plains: Death And The End
“That attack… Is stronger than I’d imagined… So you’ve combined it…”
No God Emperor fell on the ground.
“Although I could hardly detect it, there is a hint of beastly instinct in your Archetype… Magnificent… I expect nothing less from a person that brought me down. Perhaps, you will be able to surpass my real body.”
His eyes turned blurry and he could hardly move his body. A cross-mark wound was gaping on his chest, it kept pouring out blood like a fountain.
“Kill this body… If you can’t, my real body will emerge and you don’t want that to happen.”
If his real body escaped, the first thing that would occur was the destruction of Hall Plains and this sub-world. All the deaths would be sacrificed to him to recover his peak.
No God Emperor knew that most of the gods knew what was happening since the appearance of the crimson net that covered the whole Hall Plains and sub-world. They must be waiting out there to reseal him once again and this would cause a tremendous ripple in the world.
A lot of gods have appeared and those gods who were hiding in the dark would use this chance to weaken the forces of the major superpowers of this continent.
But now… It would be stopped by people in this Hall Plains. No one predicted this outcome, the escape of No God Emperor was already within everyone’s expectations.
Hall Plains didn’t belong to any major forces. Its people were weak.
No God Emperor’s plan was perfect.
No one knew that he was planning to unseal himself until the emergence of the crimson net.
No one knew that a perfect vessel had arrived that could house a little bit of his will.
The history of the Hall of Power was even erased so no mortal knew about No God Emperor. They didn’t expect that there would be a survivor from that time.
That’s why the appearance of the crimson net shook most of the gods.
No God Emperor relaxed his body, waiting for the end to come.
Swoosh!!
The smoke was blown away as Souta’s figure emerged from it with a sword in his hand. He landed on top of No God Emperor’s body and raised the vajra sword.
Grr!
The color in No God Emperor’s eyes had changed slightly.
“My Lord…?”
A soft and familiar voice came out of his opponent’s mouth. He was extremely familiar with this voice.
It was the voice of the person he could consider his student.
It was Yenxa.
Souta steeled his heart as he bit his mouth until it bled before he stabbed the sword.
“I…”
The sword pierced through the heart of his target and he slightly lowered his head.
Souta gritted his teeth. Blood flowed out of his eyes and fell into Yenxa’s face.
“I’m sorry… Yenxa…”
These were the words that came out of his mouth. He couldn’t describe what he was feeling right now.
It feels so heavy.
Yenxa stared into Souta’s eyes. She used all of her strength just to raise her hand and touched his cheeks.
“Don’t cry… My Lord… I’m not worth it…”
With those words, her hand fell to the ground as she drew her last breath.
Souta took a deep breath as he heard a notification in his mind. He knew that it came to this and it was the only thing he could do about it.
He could hardly describe what he was feeling right now.
Hmm…
Souta raised his head. He noticed a figure standing in front of him.
“Y-Yenxa…?” He muttered while staring at the figure.
It was Yenxa.
She smiled and went into one of her knees.
“It’s an honor to serve you, My Lord. I’m sorry that I couldn’t continue to serve you until the end. Forgive me for my lack of strength.”
Yenxa said as she bowed her head. This would be the last time she could salute the person she treated as her Lord.
Souta realized that it was Yenxa’s soul giving her last farewell to him. This only made him feel more complicated.
It feels so bad.
Souta closed his eyes and when opened his eyes once again, Yenxa’s soul had already disappeared.
The soul of a dead person could stay in this world for a few hours but Yenxa had already disappeared?
She must have hidden herself from Souta’s eyes.
Souta stared at the sky. His hand slowly grabbed the vajra sword and pulled it out of Yenxa’s body.
‘We can’t do anything about it.’ Saya’s voice echoed in her mind. She recalled the things that No God Emperor said when she met her in Yenxa’s consciousness.
Saya tried to disperse No God Emperor’s Will out of Yenxa’s body but she failed miserably.
“A Will of a God…? It’s a bit unexpected but it made sense… Souta shouldn’t be able to completely move his body so your appearance here makes more sense.” No God Emperor laughed. He wasn’t bothered a little bit by the fact that he just got defeated. “Did you come here to force me out of this vessel?”
Saya didn’t say anything. She just kept staring at No God Emperor’s Will.
“You’re not enough to do that. You’re just a whisp of your true self so you don’t have enough ability. You are a God but you can’t be considered a God anymore.” No God Emperor paused before he continued, “Also, once my Will is attached to someone it can’t be removed anymore. I called it [True Fusion Sense].”
“How do you know that I can’t remove you?” Saya asked.
“Well, even if you miraculously remove my Will from this vessel it’s already too late. I already modified this body so the Mountain of Demise will still seal it.” No God Emperor explained so that she could understand. “You, a God who should be dead, still lingers in this world. You are a whisp of consciousness of your past self. Do you perhaps still remember what happened to you before you died?”
“Just a little bit…” Saya answered.
No God Emperor shook his head. “So you can’t understand… Your presence here is a bit unexpected. If only I know that there is a whisp of god’s consciousness in Souta, I should have ordered my people to divide the energy from Blood Sacrifice and seal you along with that hydra.”
“You will fall again,” Saya said.
“Worry not, it’s the same for me. Except, I don’t have any people that I could communicate with. I will wait here until the moment that I’ve been waiting has arrived.” No God Emperor laughed.
“You think that someone will unseal you,” Saya said.
“Yeah, right now. I’ve caused a great commotion and people probably heard of my name now. There will be people out there that want to use my strength. They will use that for me to owe them so that I could help them with their goals.” No God Emperor said. He then raised his hand and said, “Now, go away. If you try to erase my Will it would only damage your consciousness.”
Saya stayed silent for a moment, “Regarding Souta…”
No God Emperor smiled as he raised his eyebrows with interest.
…
“S-Souta… Souta won the battle!!” Isabella smiled as she raised both of her fists.
“Tsk, you make us worry there.” Eztein smiled as he sat on the floor. He could finally relax his muscles and senses.
“As expected of the Lord that I choose…” Franklin smiled before he closed his eyes.
“Yeah!!!”
“Our Lord is great!!”
“Lord Souta won the battle!!”
“Ohhhh!!!”
The rest of the Astros celebrated after seeing their leader finally defeat the threat to the entire Hall Plains. Their excitement reached its peak as all of them raised their weapons in the sky and shouted the name of their leader.
The battle had reached its conclusion.
Souta defeated No God Emperor and prevented the destruction of the Hall Plains. His name resounded throughout the entire land as the one who fought against the inevitable destruction.
Alice gathered some people who could still walk near the peak of the mountain.
The fluctuations of energy here were still strong and the distorted space could tear all the flesh of an expert below Solidfying Realm. It was dangerous to approach even so Alice didn’t bring people below the Solidifying Realm.
They would only die because of the distortion of the space.
The crimson net isolated this land from the Imperium so it would take a while before the space recovered to normal.
After some time, several figures appeared on top of the mountain.
Alice and the people she brought immediately rushed forward to help them. She moved forward and felt the space tearing through her skin.
Argh!
She realized that her defense was still close to none and she hasn’t recovered well after she fought Ragnis.
She endured as her feet continued to move. She then saw Souta’s figure carrying a body in his arms. It was Yenxa’s lifeless body.
Alice wanted to say something but she stopped when she saw Souta’s expression.
The corpse was protected by a layer of solid blood. It was to protect Yenxa’s body from the distortion of space.
“Souta…”
