Chapter 660 The Battle of the Capital (Part 3)

The moonlit night was as cold as frost.

The faint wails of the dead could be heard permeating the entire battlefield.

As the Lord of Hell began to take his steps, the earth trembled. Jiang He stood inside the mythical head, watching the Mountain Titan charge straight at him with its arms crossed.

In fact, since the start of the war, the size of the Mountain Titans has increased by about 30%. This is a characteristic of Mountain Authority. Titans and gods both originate from the world itself, and their probability of possessing authority is far greater than that of normal heroes. In other words, they are the representatives of the world in a certain aspect.

boom!
The mountain titan clashed with the Lord of Hell.

A pure black luster flowed down from the head of the Hell Lord, covering his entire body. The power of the lord was amplified like flowing water. With a "thud," waves that shattered the earth rippled outwards, and the mountain titan fell straight backward, its arm shattered.

call!
The mythical spear thrust out, aiming straight for the head of the mountain titan.

The guardian Titan stepped forward with his shield raised, bent his knees to block, and the spear struck the shield, stirring up countless serpentine bolts of lightning that carved dense trenches into the ground.

Everything was like a battle of giants from a myth.

Wow!
The strange bird tore through the clouds and descended from the sky.

As the only Sky Titan among the Titans to receive the favor of the heavens, the strange bird's wings seemed to merge with the sky at this moment. The immense power of heaven and earth, like a tsunami, converged, and this attack was enough to severely injure even the most powerful heroes.

puff!
The Hell Lord's two arms precisely grasped the monstrous bird's wings. While maintaining the suppression of the Guardian Titan and the Mountain Titan, Jiang He activated his divine consciousness, captured the monstrous bird's attack route, and activated the Mythical Form Effect: Fallen Angel.

In an instant, heaven and earth abandoned the strange bird.

The bird's beak, which should have been indestructible, shattered before the Iron Scale Dragon Robe. The Hell Lord opened his mouth and aimed, unleashing a burst of chaotic dragon breath. This time, its energy source was heroic-level energy, completely different from the past.

The Frost Titan stretched out its hands, and frost spread through the air, freezing the Hell Lord. The Flesh Titan emerged from between the broken wings of the monstrous bird, and countless blood snakes rushed straight at the enemy's face.

Swish!
The Heavenly Father leaped from the earth, his holy sword gleaming with ultimate sharpness, swiftly and decisively severing the arms of the Lord of Hell.

Even in the face of such an attack, Jiang He's dragon breath remained unshaken, piercing straight through the strange bird and then rising upwards, splitting it in two.

boom!
The Lord of Hell collapsed.

But Jiang He had already escaped from the spatial vortex, and the silver dragon spear in his hand pierced directly into the heart of the strange bird, absorbing its blood essence and extraordinary factors.

[Note: Your sub-legendary skill, Reverse Magic, has been upgraded to LV15 (Earth Titan's factor content is approximately 225% of a normal hero's peak level / same factor essence level)]
call!
Just as the strange bird turned to dust and died completely, its soul flew toward the holy sword in the Father's hand.

At the same time, a wolf-like Infernal Titan leaped from the ground, opened its mouth and swallowed Jiang He whole, and the hellfire that could refine everything roared.

In the direction of the capital, the battlefield fell silent.

The emperor decides the life and death of everyone, single-handedly resisting the Titan Alliance and the head of the gods. If the emperor falls, no one in the capital will survive.

Not only the Witcher and the Steel Sword Saint, but even the Calamity Dragon has set its sights on them. As one of the twelve Titans, he chose to be an enemy of his fellow Titans entirely because of the Emperor himself.

boom!
An inexplicable shriek echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

The next moment, thousands of golden and silver arcs exploded from the body of the Infernal Titan, and beams of light shattered bones, shredded flesh and blood, and spilled out of the Infernal Titan's body.

The flames from purgatory were meaningless in front of Jiang He's sub-legendary fire immunity; a spear technique released from within shattered them instantly.

—Divine Spear Technique: The Collapse of a Nation.

Jiang He raised his hand, and a black sun rose in his palm, absorbing the high-quality extraordinary factors. Then he casually flung it out, and the black sun suddenly expanded to a radius of a thousand meters, sweeping across and swallowing half of the mountain titan's body.

The flesh titan merged with the mountain titan to maintain its form.

"I will!" roared the cursed titan.

As the Cursed Titan voluntarily died, his and the Infernal Titan's souls surged into the Holy Blade, and the curse, which resembled the explosion of the God of Whispers, reappeared. Jiang He's body once again showed those fatal wounds that had accumulated in the past, but this time, the Knight of the Past broke away from behind, took all the damage, and then his whole body shattered.

Final Time Ring Effect ④ - Ouroboros: Damage or even death suffered by the final rider can be actively transferred to past and future riders to bear the damage.

The self-sacrifice of the cursed Titans has become a joke.

Roar!
A towering mountain, seemingly made of flesh and blood, descended upon them. The mutated entity, formed from the fusion of two Titans, experienced a surge in power, almost rivaling the power and authority of a certain individual.

Jiang He's long hair suddenly turned golden and dazzling. The power of the Sun King erupted, knocking down the combined authority of flesh and blood and mountains. A silver dragon spear rose from the ground, tens of thousands of meters long and as thick as a city wall. In an instant, it seemed to nail two Titans to the sky. Blood like a celestial river flowed along the spear shaft and dried quickly.

[Hint: Your sub-legendary skill, Reverse Magic, has been upgraded to LV60]
call!
A frigid tide swept across the entire Vigrid Plains, the Frost Titans breathed out, and a vast, mighty glacier swept in, freezing and cracking the earth wherever it passed.

Jiang He thrust out his spear, unleashing a torrent of golden energy. The Divine Spear Technique: Yang Flow erupted, and the True Flame of the Sun, amplified by the Dragon Spear's fire-controlling effect and combined with the Spear Master Technique: Blade of Fire, pushed its power to its limit.

Frost and golden flames intertwined, covering the earth.

In the boundless white mist, the guardian Titan abandoned its massive original form and, in the form of armor, enveloped the dwarf king who suddenly emerged from the ground.

The Dwarf King swung his heavy hammer, the handle of which, imbued with extreme crushing power, struck Jiang He's body. Cracks spread across his powerful physique, but the damage was instantly transferred to the future knight.

The decapitation attempt failed.

The dwarf king's expression changed slightly.

Just as his strength was exhausted, Jiang He unleashed a spear strike, shattering space and cutting through the protective armor with an extremely thin line. The second strike transformed from a slash into a smash, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had shattered into dust. The force of attraction and the force of strangulation converged, directly smashing the Dwarf King's body to pieces.

——Divine Spear Technique: Severing Boundaries.

— Divine Spear Technique: Tai Xu.

The flesh and blood of the two god-like beings sank into the black sun.

But before his soul was annihilated, it was taken away by the authority of death. The Heavenly Father, who had been detached from the battlefield, ran two fingers across the blade, and the Holy Death Blade was officially promoted to legendary level.

"Your flesh and blood belong to you, your soul to me."

The Heavenly Father sighed, “It will be difficult for me alone to bury these guys.”

If the Titans were to scatter and flee, it would be difficult to wipe them out with a single "special skill" unless one possessed a spatial authority. After Jiang He demonstrated his spatial abilities, all the Titans knew that this was a war to the death.

Under the sky.

The black dragon fought a great battle with the World Tree, the Thunder Titan clashed with the white serpent, and it seemed as if endless evil soldiers rushed out of the gate, slaughtering each other with the alien army.

The Orc King and Centaur King stalled four soulless puppets, the Steel Sword Saint encountered the goddess of beauty who was trying to infiltrate the capital, and the old Witcher faced off alone against an overwhelming army of monsters.

There is fighting everywhere.

Death is everywhere.

The Heavenly Father joyfully witnesses the descent of beings into death, and he is confident that when death engulfs the world, he may be able to glimpse a higher realm.

The prerequisite is that Augustus I is killed.

Jiang He appeared behind the Frost Titan without anyone noticing. He reached out with one hand, and thorns intertwined and pierced the prey's back. The sub-legendary level paralysis tightly bound it to the spot, while blood essence and extraordinary factors surged forth.

[Hint: Your Legendary Sinful Virus level has been upgraded to LV15]
[Hint: Your skill "Reverse Magic" has been upgraded to Legendary LV1]
But when the Frost Titan fell, death called the Father.

He suddenly appeared behind Jiang He.

His divine spell, Death Premonition, which had been upgraded to a sub-legendary level, allowed him to miraculously dodge the incoming silver spear by tilting his head. He then unleashed a slash, but instead of striking Jiang He, he severed the Death Line above the enemy's head.

Click!

The line of death has broken.

Even though there were no wounds, death was still inevitable.

Jiang He's vision dimmed, but the Eternal Soul ensured that his soul fragments remained. The second final time loop activated, and the vanished past and the future knight returned together.

"Life is something especially fragile in my eyes."

"You are no exception either."

The Heavenly Father suddenly appeared behind Jiang He, and the divine spell "Summoning Death" brought him almost to the enemy's body. The divine spell "Death-Instant Blade" could ignore defense and directly grant death.

In the blink of an eye, the revival began.

The Father wields his sword, and because of the nature of his authority, he is far more adept than any other enemy at seizing the openings in the resurgence of the Time Ring.

Click!

The line of death has broken again.

Jiang He transferred the damage to the knight of the past, countless silver particles gathered in his palm, and the dragon spear pierced through the chest of the Heavenly Father behind him.

"Pointless."

"As long as there are people in this world who believe in me, I will not die."

"I am the last god, the one who unites the sky and the earth, the one who is dead. You are at odds with the world."

The Father proudly displayed his perfected "shroud body." Beneath his tattered divine robes, his body was shrouded in darkness. No matter how severe the injury or how terrifying the killing, none of them could truly harm him. Yet, wielding the legendary Death Blade, he could guarantee to sever the line of death from his target.

Click!

Another knife.

The future knight has perished.

Jiang He unleashed a punch, activating the power of force, and the ultimate airburst propelled the Heavenly Father thousands of meters away.

Before landing, the Heavenly Father disappeared because of the death of the future knight. He then reappeared on Jiang He's back and unleashed the divine magic, Death Instinct Blade.

boom!
The silver dragon spear roared, and the restraints descended.

But the Father did not pause for a moment. In essence, he was dying every moment, and in the realm of mystery, he was nothing but nothingness. The Dragon Spear could not find him at all. Even if it hit him with its eyes, he would lose his target due to death.

Click!

Jiang He's vision dimmed once again. "Even if you could revive ten thousand times, it would be the same to me. I am the master of death, and all things are its servants."

Before Jiang He could recover from the shock of time, the Heavenly Father was already waiting behind him, raising the Holy Sword and waiting for it to fall. Based on the old woman's perspective and the Pope's murder, he even knew that the enemy had the ability to stop time, but even if time stopped for a minute, the "shroud body" could easily handle it.

"You have no choice but to run away."

The power of time descends, and the third time loop is activated.

Jiang He opened his eyes, which were completely black. Ignoring the knight of the past who had perished once again, he turned his head and let the blade miss its mark. This time, however, there was no "crack" sound.

The Father's eyes narrowed.

Jiang He calmly said, "What you can see, I can also see. From this moment on, you will never be able to cut the line of death again."

Fate bears witness, the Great King declares.

The Heavenly Father sensed something was wrong and swung his sword horizontally, but only managed to hit an afterimage. Suddenly, an arm wrapped around his shoulder from behind, and Jiang He examined the "shroud-covered body" with great interest.

According to the alchemy master's perspective, this should be a method cultivated by the Church of Temperance. If he were to transplant similar technology himself, he would probably run into trouble. The same reason why he has never used Freya is that entertainment is fine, but it is not worth losing more than one gains.

Whoosh whoosh!
In just three seconds, the Heavenly Father unleashed thirty-six deadly strikes, but none of them hit. The enemy seemed to be mocking him, circling around him and scrutinizing him. This arrogant and contemptuous attitude almost drove him to lose his mind.

"Are you trying to provoke me?" the Heavenly Father said coldly.

"No, it's just that you've lost your value in helping me grow," Jiang He replied calmly.

The reversed time loop allowed him to accelerate his own time by a full three seconds, completely surpassing the speed of the Heavenly Father, ensuring that every strike would miss its mark. The cost of this time acceleration was negligible due to post-battle recovery.

boom!
The Heavenly Father, enraged, unleashed the divine spell Death Impact. The power accumulated from the fall of Titans and gods tore the Vigrid Plains apart, creating an endless abyss. However, this decisive move ultimately proved ineffective.

Under the moonlight, Jiang He stands tall in the sky.

He looked down at the mortal world, with a golden sun rising behind him.

As the Reversal Magic was activated, the golden sun gradually lost its domineering brilliance. As a crimson hue spread, the eerie red light corrupted the moon of the world of gods. With Lilith's tacit approval, the Crimson Authority appeared, and even the Crimson Divinity deep within Jiang He's body began to stir.

The Father's face turned ashen. He said, "I know you are cultivating a Church of Death. If that's the case, what will be left on earth?"

"It doesn't matter, you have to die today anyway."

Jiang He slashed down with his sword, and endless crimson light burst forth from the blood moon, illuminating the mortal world. The Black Death of Hell, through the power of the crimson moon's authority, forcibly implanted itself into the bodies of countless living beings, causing a massive, mad outbreak devoid of any reason.

On the Vigrid Plain.

The orc leader, who had been fighting fiercely, suddenly swung his bone club and smashed his blood brother, who was acting as his guard, to pieces. His eyes were bloodthirsty, filled with hunger and chaos. The moment he saw flesh and blood, he pounced on it and swallowed it along with the dirt.

Two knights, back to back and side by side, simultaneously thrust their swords at each other, then tear at each other's throats, blood splattering everywhere.

The world-ending war came to an abrupt end, and countless people, including most of the Holy Realm, were reduced to beasts who only knew how to kill and eat.

Without wisdom, there is no faith.

Without people, there is no God.

The living beings' choices regarding the world and values ​​have completely collapsed, essentially destroyed, and the absolute twilight of the gods has arrived.

On the plains that resembled hell, amidst boundless hunger and carnage.

The Father felt in despair as the "shroud" disappeared, returning to his original body.

"Don't even think about turning me into a puppet. At least I can choose to die."

Jiang He did not answer.

boom!
The flash of light, guided by fate, descended from the sky.

The massive Thunder Titan's head, chest, abdomen, and legs shattered one after another, turning its entire body into fragments and leaving a deep crater hundreds of meters deep in its wake.

boom!
The sun's golden flames poured down like a waterfall, burning the branches and trunk of the World Tree, and the Dragon of Calamity retreated with a look of fear on its face.

boom!
Jiang He drew his bow and released three mythical-level secret techniques, the Heavenly Fall Arrows, which successively killed the Goddess of Beauty, the Orc King, and the Centaur King. Under the crimson moon, the defenses of these enemies had been severely weakened by the Black Death of Hell, but they did not fall into madness due to their life level and soul resistance.

The future knight appears, and the time ring envelops the earth.

The Thunder Titan, now in the form of a burly human, Freya, now a withered tree spirit, and the Goddess of Beauty, revealing her true form as a colorful spider, along with the Orc King and the Centaur King, are restored in the form of shells. Old Black skillfully commands the Underworld King's ministers, increasing the number of Heroic Peak Puppet to nine.

As if Judgment Day had arrived, endless oppression descended from the sky. The Steel Sword Saint bowed his head in despair, the Calamity Dragon roared uneasily, and the Viking brothers trembled as they held the old Witcher, but the attack did not continue.

Jiang He landed, and the rewards and punishments were based on merit. He did not intend to take action against the three peak heroes who had fought to the death.

Swish!
The Heavenly Father charged forward with his sword drawn, unleashing a barrage of blades that rained down upon the enemy. Despite having lost his prized "shroud," he still possessed for the time being a fighter of exceptional skill and had no intention of surrendering himself to the slaughter.

……

On the western edge, amidst towering mountain peaks.

The old woman sighed and looked away.

Objectively speaking, for a normal "specialty" hero, the current Gluttony Lord would undoubtedly have to put in some effort to defeat him. However, this generation of Gluttony is unique in the entire history of original sin, wielding three powers and manipulating the power of time. The fate of the Father is self-evident, and this operation has already failed.

"It's a pity that the methods left on Freya's body were not activated, otherwise she could have tracked Gluttony for a long time. But to face a great sin and still survive is a great honor to return."

The old woman's expression was complex. She was well aware of the danger of the enemy and had always remained behind the scenes. However, her integrity as a member of the Church of Temperance was undeniable, and she had the experience to "fight" gluttony. The time to reap the rewards would come when she returned.

"As for the two of you, you will serve as my servants for now."

The old woman turned around, her pupils suddenly contracting. The two dukes from the East and West who had been standing respectfully behind her had their heads fall to the ground simultaneously, a sword mark lightly slaying them.

Si Ning, leaning on the Warrior's Sword, climbed to the top of the mountain, slightly out of breath, and said, "You old codger... you're really hard to find!"

Before the goddess of fate was banished, she protected this old woman with her authority. Therefore, Si Ning found herself being mysteriously influenced halfway through her search. Under these circumstances, she planned a dense route on the map and finally used the sword's authority to cut off the interference. The target was most likely outside the planned route, significantly reducing the possibility.

The result was successful, but the process was still not easy.

The old woman's face immediately turned fierce.

Si Ning looked at her strangely and said, "You don't actually think you're going to fight me, do you?"

boom!
A streak of light swept in from the direction of the capital. Jiang He delivered a straight kick imbued with the power of Wrath and Sin, sending the Heavenly Father flying out of the Vigrid Plains. The Fallen Arrow followed closely behind, carrying the Heavenly Father's remains and destroying several mountains, as a fierce wind howled in.

The old woman's face changed, and just as she was about to take a step, a fair and jade-like hand landed on her shoulder. Jiang He was wearing a full set of jet-black armor, covered with knife marks, but it was not broken. He was holding the head of the Heavenly Father in his hand, but in the last moment of defeat, the Heavenly Father chose to let his own body die in the form of a soul. This was the privilege of the authority of death.

Click!

The inactive skull was shattered.

The old woman's face was deathly pale. She said, "I can't say anything."

It's not that they're unwilling, but that they can't. The Church of Temperance has the basic competence of a great power in the void in this regard. Unless a life form of extremely high rank personally takes action, they can't obtain any valuable information. Of course, for such beings, some information that doesn't involve the core is also of little value.

Jiang He calmly said, "I accept your destiny and fate."

Black smoke enveloped the old woman; the curse of death had taken away her destiny as a nun instructor. Clearly, with Freya's complete demise, the protection left by the goddess of fate was also weakening.

Jiang He kicked out and smashed the old woman to pieces.

He wouldn't personally infiltrate the Church of Temperance, since the Life-Stealing Technique was only legendary and there was no guarantee it wouldn't cause problems. But sending in an undercover agent wouldn't be a big deal, no matter what.

Si Ning scratched her cheek and said, "Let me go?"

"No." Jiang He put away the dragon spear and said casually, "I can't bear to see you die. I'll pick a scapegoat later and find a chance to send you in."

Si Ning blushed slightly. The core members of the team held a very high position in this guy's heart. This expression, which sounded like a love confession, caught her off guard.

Jiang He carried Si Ning and stepped into the spatial vortex.

On the Vigrid Plain, countless lives are still being fought and killed by hunger.

Inside the capital, the old demon hunter struggled to maintain the Quen Sign, a magical shield whose defensive range would not be affected until it broke. However, the increasingly dense moonlight gradually squeezed the shield until it deformed, and the tens of thousands of people in the capital who had survived thanks to it all looked desperate.

“Your Majesty, I did not allow any believers in the death religion to enter.”

The old witcher said with difficulty, "These are all His Majesty's subjects. I only beg you to show mercy."

Witchers of the Griffin School prioritize protecting the innocent.

Jiang He said, "You can let it go now. I have no reason to intervene. However, the entire world of gods is teeming with wild beasts. After the stay period ends, the outcome will not change."

The old witcher remained silent for a long time before saying, "You must have a plan."

Jiang He pondered for a moment, then took out a pile of parchment.

"Devil's Pact: In seven days, I will take Vigrid Plains with me. Sign the contract if you're willing to come with me."

"This contract has a unique feature: the son pays for the father's debt. You are free to live and reproduce on the plains. In return, every few hundred years I will hold a dark sacrifice, killing half of all living beings and collecting soul fragments to strengthen myself."

"This is the first treaty of the new world."

The old witcher said bitterly, "That's too harsh."

The crowd erupted into a cacophony, with most choosing to take the parchment, but a significant number refusing, opting instead to try and survive in the world of the gods.

The old witcher slumped to the ground. He had done his best, but the price of challenging Augustus I would be the annihilation of his entire army.

Jiang He gathered his squad members, and Wu He dispatched the Flying Beast Legion to scavenge as many resources as possible, especially sacred weapons.

Gods and Titans have perished, and thunder rumbles across the sky. The world is enraged. Unfortunately, the power of secondary origin correction is not something that can be mobilized at will. There is a fundamental difference between destroying an era and destroying an entire planet.
