At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 464 The Beginning of the Chaotic War

Upon hearing someone call his name, Ashura whirled around, his face contorted with rage.

Because only those guys would know his name...

But when he saw who it was, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

It was actually a human? And this person in particular, someone he had never seen before.

Even though his memories had become hazy from thousands of years of slumber, he was certain that he did not recognize the person in front of him.

However, he didn't care why the person in front of him knew him. As long as the person wasn't a god or a human, then they weren't his enemy.

He has more important things to do now...

Thinking of this, Ashura looked up at the sky, where his homeland, the divine kingdom, was located.

Misra must be there!

We must save her!
Without any hesitation, Ashura slightly bent his knees, and crimson energy burst forth from his body, about to soar into the sky, his target pointing straight at the distant space!
"Hey! Wait!"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Qi's lips twitched involuntarily.

This guy is too reckless!
Shouldn't we normally ask who he is?
In a moment of urgency, Zhang Qi flashed and instantly appeared in the path of Asura's ascent, grabbing Asura's golden arm burning with energy.

"Step aside!"

With his path blocked, Asura's anger was instantly reignited!
He didn't even see who stopped him before he threw a punch with his backhand, the punch whistling through the air, aimed hard at Zhang Qi's face!
This punch was nothing fancy, just a simple strike!
But when propelled by the Mantra of Wrath, it is enough to shatter mountains!
however--

Bang! ! !
A dull thud was heard.

The anticipated scene of the opponent being blasted away or even blown to pieces did not occur.

Zhang Qi stood firmly in place, his outstretched palm precisely catching Ashura's ferocious iron fist!
The purple mantra energy and the crimson power of rage collided violently, producing a hissing sound, and the surrounding air was compressed and distorted!
"Ok?"

Ashura was stunned. This human could actually block his punch?!

Even among the Eight Gods, only a handful can achieve this level of skill. Is this guy really human?

Ashura then took a closer look at the man in front of him.

The power that just erupted, although it was also a mantra, felt... quite different from what I felt with myself, with Ocas, and even with Deus and the others.

More pure, and more... reserved?
This guy is something else!
The rage in Ashura's eyes subsided slightly.

He realized that the person in front of him might not be an enemy.

"Please...please stop hitting!"

A timid voice rang out.

Then, Yuna, the girl who had just been rescued by Ashura, suddenly mustered up a lot of courage and ran between the two of them.

He spread his thin arms and stood in front of Asura.

"Thank you... thank you for saving us!"

She tried her best to express herself, but Ashura didn't seem to understand.

He then awkwardly gestured with his hands, pointing to the demon-slaying corpse on the ground.

He then pointed to himself and the surviving villagers, and bowed deeply to Ashura.

"..."

Ashura looked at the little girl blocking his way, and for some reason, it reminded him of Misra.

Even the raging anger in his heart subsided somewhat for some reason.

She said, "Thank you for saving them."

Zhang Qi spoke up at the opportune moment, translating.

He released his hand that was blocking Asura, and the armor on his hand turned into a phantom and disappeared.

She is very grateful to you.

Zhang Qi translated Yuna's words into the language of gods and humans.

He naturally learned this language from the soldiers he had captured, who were all gods and humans.

Ashura was taken aback upon hearing this, only then realizing the abnormality in Zhang Qi.

"Who are you? Why do you understand our language? What is your purpose?"

Ashura looked at Zhang Qi and asked.

This is their language, and it's not the same as human languages.

Given that the other party knew his identity and possessed power comparable to his, this in itself was quite suspicious.

"My name is Zhang Qi, a human being who...can't stand this messed-up world."

Zhang Qi replied.

Humanity?

Ashura looked at Zhang Qi with suspicion. Although he was reckless, he wasn't stupid.

What kind of human being is this?!

“I know you want to find your daughter Misra. But the situation is far more complicated than you think.”

Those guys from Deus haven't been idle during your twelve thousand years of slumber.

They proclaimed themselves the 'Seven Stars Heaven,' replaced the God Emperor, and became the new rulers of this world.

Under the guise of "saving the world and ending the demon-slaying," they frantically harvest faith, or the power of truth, from humanity.

Your daughter, Misra, possesses the purest affinity for truth, yet she was imprisoned by them and made the core of their ultimate weapon—the Fortress of Cause and Effect!

Seeing this, Zhang Qi continued, trying to explain the current situation in as few words as possible.

The Fortress of Cause and Effect gathers the power of mantras generated from the seven trillion human souls collected by the Seven Star Heaven over the past ten thousand years.

Zhang Qi spoke slowly, but every word was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Ashura's heart! Seven Star Heaven?
The greater good?

Harvesting faith?

Causal fortress?

Misra...the core?!

boom! ! !
Boundless rage, more intense than ever before, erupted from Ashura's heart like a volcanic eruption!

The crimson energy of anger surged uncontrollably once again, almost turning the sky blood red!
"De-U-S-S!!!"

Asura roared to the sky, his voice filled with boundless killing intent!
He never imagined that his former comrades-in-arms would betray him, murder his wife, and use such despicable means to manipulate his daughter, all for this very reason!
Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!
Zhang Qi watched quietly as Asura vented his anger, without disturbing him, simply observing the changes in this power called Mantra.

Yuna was so frightened by Ashura's outburst of power that she retreated repeatedly.

The surrounding villagers were prostrate on the ground, trembling, not daring to lift their heads.

Asura's roar gradually subsided, and the violent energy stabilized somewhat.

“I know you’re furious and wish you could storm the Kingdom of God and tear those guys like Deus to shreds.”

However, your current state of mind and your understanding of the current situation are both too limited.

Ocas has just left; he will surely bring your message back to the divine realm.

Deus will absolutely not stand idly by and watch you, the biggest variable, undermine his 'great cause'.

What awaits you is the most frenzied counterattack from the entire divine kingdom.

If you rush over now, not only will you not be able to save Misra, but you might even…

Zhang Qi didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already clear.

Ashura fell silent.

After the rage came the cold reality.

……

Night falls.

The village, having endured a series of calamities, appeared particularly desolate under the fading moonlight.

The villagers struggled to sleep amidst fear and unease, with only a few still praying tremblingly.

Ashura stood alone on a hill outside the village, gazing at the distant starry sky.

His expression was hidden in the shadows and could not be clearly seen.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhang Qi appeared silently behind him and asked.

"I want to punch those guys who made Misra cry!"

After a long silence, Ashura spoke, saying that he didn't understand anything about righteousness.

He just wanted to give those guys who had caused his wife and daughters this suffering a good beating.

"Forehead……"

Zhang Qi was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. He could only say that this guy truly deserved to be the one who would destroy the creator god of this world just because his daughter was crying.

"And what about you? What's your reason for fighting?"

Seeing this, Ashura asked in return, voicing the question he had always wanted to ask.

With Zhang Qi's strength, he was capable of protecting himself during Deus's sweep.

Destroying Bhritra would likely be to his advantage.

He simply couldn't fathom Zhang Qi's reason for opposing Deus...

He couldn't trust this man named Zhang Qi until he figured this out.

"It's simple, because the world is unfair."

Human lives should never be wasted on such things…

Zhang Qi took a deep breath and replied.

"Is that why?"

Ashura was taken aback. Was it really just for this reason that they were going to fight against the nation of gods and humans?
Just because he can't stand the deaths of ordinary people?!

"That reason is enough..."

Zhang Qi replied that he had the ability to change everything, and he wanted to change everything.

These two reasons are enough...

But at this moment——

Om-! ! !
A piercing buzzing sound ripped through the night sky!
"Um?!"

Zhang Qi and Ashura both looked up at the sky at the same time.

Suddenly, countless shimmering points of light appeared in the sky, as dense as a swarm of bees.

Those were warships of gods and humans...

Countless warships of gods and humans hovered above the village.

At the forefront of the warship group, on the bridge of the command flagship, stood a slender woman who looked at the figures of Asura and Zhang Qi on the screen, a smile appearing on her lips.

"Target confirmed: Asura, and... an unknown heretic."

Lord Deus's order is: kill without mercy!

At the woman's command, countless human and divine warships opened fire simultaneously!
Beams of true energy ripped through the night sky, like the scythe of death, mercilessly pouring down upon the village on the ground...
