Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 399 Mammon: I will break you with my iron rod, and you will be smashed like a potter's pottery.
"Stop! I will not allow you to destroy humanity anymore!"

Mammon's pupils burned with raging fury. He raised his right hand high as the symbol of royal power, drawing a lava-like trajectory in the air. The golden vortex, carrying the scent of sulfur, corroded the space, leaving scorched marks.

The golden vortex of light crashed down, and the Divine Dragon Beast's mountain-like body trembled violently.

The shield formed by the holy light was riddled with cracks under the corrosive golden light. With a low thud, the shield, which could withstand the bombardment of meteorites without cracking, shattered like fragile glass. The dragon scales, which were even more defensive than the holy light, peeled off layer by layer under the wash of golden particles.

As dragon scale fragments mixed with golden-red blood rained down, the ground collapsed and a thousand-mile-long rift valley appeared. The Divine Dragon Beast let out a painful cry, and its massive body gradually shrank. It was actually defeated by Mammon's attack and regressed two stages, transforming into the form of Angemon.

"Angels? They really are hypocrites."

Witnessing Zhang Jie's transformation, Mammon sneered at Gabriel.

Gabriel frowned, glanced at Zhang Jie, but did not speak. She held the broken spear of the Spear of Longinus and watched from the sidelines, showing no intention of getting involved.

"I will shoulder the burden of humanity's despair, anger, revenge, aspirations, faith, and hope!"

Mammon turned to look at Zhang Jie, raised the scepter of punishment, his face as hard as a god's, and his majestic declaration resounded throughout the three realms.

“Angels who proclaim themselves the saviors of mankind, hypocrites who destroy humanity. I will shatter you with my iron rod, and you will be smashed like potter's earthenware.”

Mammon's declaration resounded like a bronze bell, and for a moment, heaven and earth resounded, and strange phenomena appeared.

Thunder roared, lightning flashed, and dense clouds gathered in the sky, and the sound of horns was deafening, causing all the people in the camp to tremble. Smoke rose from the ground as if from a kiln, and the planet shook violently.

A grand sound emanated from the vast land and resounded from the boundless sky.

“Behold, God’s dwelling place is among the people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people; and God himself will be with them and be their God.”

A tremendous power surged from the void and converged on Mammon's body.

In an instant, Mammon's aura surged! It surged wildly! It surged powerfully! It surged and surged and surged! It reached an unprecedented level!!!
An aura that transcends planets and rivals galaxies spreads from Mammon to the other side of the Milky Way.

Just then, a melody suddenly began to play.

It was a melody that defied description, filled with hatred, violence, and sorrow... resonating deep within everyone's heart and echoing at the ends of the universe.

In the Alpha Centauri system, amidst the shimmering nebulae, Satan stroked his sunken cheek, a neurotic laugh spilling from his distorted lips.

"hymn?"

Mammon has become a saint!
Wen Lie glanced at the blue planet five light-years away out of the corner of his eye, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

A beginner saint is nothing, just a fake saint. Although he can't be killed, with his strength, he could defeat a beginner saint in just a few punches.

The question is, can Zheng Zha and his group handle a nascent saint, a demon team, and Gabriel who might intervene?
"I never thought my good-for-nothing son would actually succeed?"

Black wings formed of sulfur and tar unfurled from behind Satan, his words carrying a strange emotion, and his gaze toward Wen Lie filled with clear killing intent.

If Mammon hadn't succeeded, he could have just treated it as a game. But since Mammon succeeded, he had to take it seriously.

"Enough with the nonsense, take another punch from me!"

I can’t control that much anymore.

In an instant, Wen Lie discarded all distracting thoughts; his eyes held nothing but unwavering fighting spirit.

With one step, space collapsed, distance lost its meaning, and spiderweb-like cracks spread to the edge of sight.

Wen Lie's fist, imbued with the power of a supernova explosion, shattered even atoms into elementary particles wherever it passed.

The great sun, concentrated in the palm of his hand, erupted with a roar. Satan raised his hand to meet it, and his withered claws precisely caught the incoming fist.

"boom--!!!"

The clash of light against light, the collision of forces against forces, created a ring-shaped shockwave. The outer shells of planets peeled away layer by layer like eggshells, and the brilliance of stars paled in comparison to the surging ocean of light.

"Is that all you've got? Nothing special. I wonder if He ever told you that I am His lamplighter, and that I am responsible for creating the stars in the universe."

Satan gripped Wen Lie's fist tightly. The starlight flickered in his palm, and the overflowing light pierced his body like sharp swords, yet it didn't even burn his skin.

Wen Lie remained silent, his eyes suddenly blazing, and a piercing gaze shot from his pupils into Satan's eyes.

However, Satan's eyes also radiated a scorching light.

Four beams of heat intertwined into a spiral-shaped pillar of light, sweeping away the raging flames. Ripples of intense heat spread across the Alpha Centauri star system, and the surging fire waves engulfed the surrounding stars.

In a matter of moments, the blazing flames ignited the universe, spanning trillions of kilometers, and the terrifying heat caused stars to evaporate and vanish completely from the Alpha Centauri star system.

Even stars!
The star Proxima Centauri lost its balance in the aftermath of the clash between Wenlie and Satan, and suddenly released a galaxy-wide flash that engulfed Wenlie and Satan.

The terrifying force violently wiped out the entire Alpha Centauri system. Despite being caught in the devastating impact of the supernova explosion, Wen Lie and Satan were unharmed. Their bodies were like miniature black holes, swallowing the star's light.

For them, the sun's energy is no different from a tonic.

"Sunquake!"

The power of light was ineffective, so Wen Lie immediately unleashed the Corona Palm, his power rising from his bloodline. The ripples completed a million-fold vibration in an instant, bursting out with a mass of white dwarf level, and pierced through Satan's arm.

"Little brat, I'm getting serious now."

Satan grinned maliciously, veins bulging on the back of his hand. His strength was no less than Wen Lie's, and perhaps even greater. He flung Wen Lie's body out of the South Gate II star system as if throwing a shot put.

Wen Lie's body pierced through thousands of stars, and golden blood gushed from his chest, condensing into countless dazzling blood beads in the vacuum of the universe. Each drop of blood was like a miniature star, leaving a trail of starlight in the vacuum of the universe.

The next moment, Satan's wings stirred up a raging hurricane in the vacuum of space. He traversed galaxies in one step and appeared in front of Wen Lie. His raised palm transformed into a giant blade that cleaved the universe and slashed down at Wen Lie's forehead.

"clang--!"

The dull thud shattered the nearby asteroid belt into ashes. Satan's smile froze as a golden mirror appeared, blocking Wen Lie's chest.

The thin mirror contained immense divine power, and the reflected light disrupted Satan's energy, causing him to exert only 70% of his full power and fail to break through the mirror's defenses.

"Old man, I'm getting serious now!"

Wen Lie's lips curled into a bloodthirsty grin, and twelve orbs of light carrying sacred artifacts emerged from behind him, one of which was already empty.

The Sacred Mirror, one of the twelve sacred artifacts, is a treasure that combines offense and defense; the reflected light can affect the abilities of enemies.

“I say, all the waters under heaven must gather in one place, and where the waters gather will become the sea.” The jade-like holy staff floated down from the ball of light and stood in the empty vacuum of the universe. As cracks spread across the staff, green waves rippled outwards.

Clear waters swept over Tiancangwu, turning the star system into a vast ocean.

The star sank into the water like the setting sun, and the rolling prominences hissed as the waves washed over them, like the mournful cry of a dying man.

This star, which burned for billions of years, illuminating countless worlds and providing vitality for billions of lives, has gone out at this moment.

There was no struggle, no explosion, not even a sliver of room for resistance.

Like a faint candle flame being gently extinguished by fingertips, silently and without a trace.

Life-bearing planets dependent on stars are heading towards extinction, civilizations are coming to an end, and trillions of lives are wailing as they sink into the dark abyss. Dense death energy and the ghosts of the dead rise up as billowing smoke, and countless resentments, hatred, anger, pain, and murderous intent... converge beneath the surface to form a ferocious giant shark.

It was a deformed being compressed from trillions of resentments, each scale a twisted face, its churning dorsal fins made of severed limbs, and its gaping maw churning with pitch-black death energy, like a dangerous undercurrent beneath the surface of water.

What do you value life?

Witnessing this scene, Satan couldn't help but show a look of horror on his face.

As the king of Hell, Satan is not one to be easily alarmed; human slaughter is merely a game to him. However, this massive massacre, exceeding the total number of killings in human history, was perpetrated by Christ.

The perfect messiah could not have imagined wiping out life in a star system.

"life?"

Wen Lie glanced at the monster formed from countless resentments, his gaze indifferent.

"In a battle where life is at stake, would you even care about whether others will be affected? Satan, you are so gentle."

The sarcastic words made Satan's face darken.

Wen Lie didn't care about Satan's thoughts; all he cared about was victory.

Satan is at least a High Saint, and his strength is no less than that of Diablo, the High Saint who was certified by the Great Lord. To defeat him, we must give it our all!
The small holy bottle floated out of the ball of light and landed in Wen Lie's left hand. He pressed his right hand against his chest, plunged it into the hideous wound, and pulled out his heart.

"What are you going to do?"

Satan frowned slightly and pointed a finger at Wen Lie.

Forces and principles powerful enough to crush a plane descended upon Wen Lie's body. The Tiancang Five-Star System collapsed around Satan's fingertip, and a massive black hole was about to form around Wen Lie.

"Crack——!"

Just then, a crack appeared on the surface of the sacred mirror, and the crack spread rapidly, turning into a fine spider web.

"The sacred artifact is shattered!"

Endless light burst forth from the crack, transforming into an unbreakable protective force at the cost of self-destruction. Lucifer's Morning Star power was enough to crush an entire plane, yet it could not suppress the brilliance of the Holy Mirror.

Wen Lie's gaze became even more indifferent as he calmly placed the heart into the holy bottle.

He then released his left hand, and the holy bottle fell into the water.

In an instant, white holy light appeared on the water's surface, and the sacred radiance spread rapidly, enveloping the vast ocean of the Tiancang Five Star System as if it had transformed into the sacred river that encircles the Holy Mountain of Heaven.

The colossal shark, formed from trillions of pent-up resentment, let out a piercing shriek. The distorted face on its jet-black scales was pierced by holy light, and the deathly aura melted away like boiling oil poured on snow.

In the blink of an eye, the civilization of the Tiancangwu star system completely disappeared from the universe.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Lie took out the Holy Grail from the ball of light. It was originally a sacred artifact called the Blood Grail, which could grant the blood drinker the power of the blood's master.

A lifelike doll also floated out from the ball of light.

That was the Holy Doll, formerly known as the Illusionary Doll, which could absorb the target's blood and transform into the target's image.

The Holy Grail and the Holy Doll sank into the sacred river at the same time, along with countless red hearts. One after another, huge red hearts emerged from Wen Lie's head and were thrown into the vast ocean of holy blood.

Ripples spread across the sea, the surging waves played an organ-like roar, and solemn hymns resonated with the galaxy, transforming the entire Tiancang Five System into a flowing cathedral.

Three thousand crosses emerged from the water and stood tall on the holy river. As the crosses shone, figures more than three meters tall appeared and disappeared from the holy light. With the unfolding of huge, pure white wings, three thousand archangels emerged from the holy light.

The angels sang in unison, and the wordless melody transformed into visible waves that surged outwards in all directions. Wherever the sound waves passed, hazy holy light emerged from nothingness, and the entire universe, spanning thousands of miles, was instantly transformed into an area where the source of holy light was activated.

Limitless energy, near-immortal regeneration, and the holy voice of the angel—all these qualities endowed Wen Lie with abilities typically reserved for saints.

"Eclipse! Supernova!"

In an instant, Wen Lie's flesh and blood evaporated completely, due to both external attacks and internal eruptions.

The Eclipse Technique absorbed holy light energy beyond its limits in an instant. Unable to convert it in time, the energy, under the pressure of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, erupted with a power that even a superhuman body could not withstand.

When Wen Lie unleashed his punch, only his golden bones remained burning. All his power transformed into a fist that pierced through the universe, instantly reaching the level of a high saint and shattering Satan's power.

The next moment, Wen Lie's flesh and blood regenerated in a fraction of a second, and the energy he poured out was restored to its original state at the same time. His desperate attack, under the blessing of the holy sound, became a costless basic attack.

"How long can your power last?"

Satan, amazed at blocking Wen Lie's fist, remained calm.

From beginning to end, his only recognized opponent was the Heavenly Father. The Holy Son's strength was passable, but that was all; even if he fought with all his might, he had no hope of defeating him.

Wen Lie stared indifferently at Satan, but remained silent, his fist revealing the profound truth of simplicity.

"Have they lost their humanity again?"

A vortex-like force field blocked Wen Lie's punch, and Satan keenly noticed Wen Lie's abnormality.

The price of power? How foolish, because only those with stronger humanity than anyone else fight, yet they burn away their humanity in the process, ultimately gaining nothing.

"Very well, then go back to the highest heavens! The mortal realm no longer belongs to you!"

Satan had no intention of wasting words on Wen Lie, whose humanity was gradually fading. Suddenly, the jet-black sulfur wings unfurled, and trillions of runes lit up on the wing membranes. The terrifying power did not need to be released; it caused spacetime to collapse and the galaxy to distort.

The aftershocks of the clash of forces swept across the starry sea, extinguishing stars like candle flames. The two fought from the Heavenly Granary to the edge of the Cetus constellation. The clash of the sacred paths caused the stars to fall and even the Great Dao to be obliterated.
