Even when black winds rage and divine thunder strikes overhead, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven can still face it with a smile.

However, she wasn't stupid.

The opponent won't unleash their full power for no reason, nor will they launch such a risky attack that's neither successful nor worthwhile.

Although she couldn't sense the shadows in the black wind, she knew that the other party's actions were definitely not that simple.

To be honest, I have absolutely no energy left.

This must be the other party's real purpose.

Use the Black Wind and Titan's thunder to tie down all of the Celestial Army's forces, including their attention, and then seize the opportunity to achieve your true purpose.

The girl was unaware of the situation outside, nor did she know why the enemy's usually rigid mind seemed to have suddenly become more insightful.

However, she could actually guess the general target of her opponent's scheme.

"Weapons of the gods will be blocked by 'Heaven,' but trials for humanity are ultimately beyond the reach of our heavenly army."

As the lightning drew ever closer, the girl was overwhelmed with countless thoughts in that instant, but in the end, she shook her head with a relieved smile.

It's not that we have the will but not the ability.

Distracted to help on the other side... it's not impossible if you really want to.

The so-called "original text candidate" was originally a title for someone who could write down a miracle called the "original text".

If you have no spare strength, become stronger; if there is no road, create one.

When you get serious, you can find hope even in the most impossible situations. This is why he is known as the original candidate and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

For example, blocking the lightning in front of her without damaging the world is impossible for a girl who is still in her teens. Even if the Halloween Queen, who is already exceptionally high in her teens, were to stand here in her place, she might not be able to do it perfectly under the halo of the restraining god.

But she showed no sign of backing down or despair.

However, she ultimately chose to trust another candidate who was also a candidate for the original text, and devoted herself entirely to the front line.

"I wonder how this Titan Thunder compares to the Heavenly Thunder of the Heavenly Court and the Divine Thunder of Indra. Hmm... but that's not important."

The girl tilted her head slightly, her mind even wandering through random thoughts that didn't involve any tension, before laughing them off and nimbly leaping into the air.

The question just now was indeed unimportant.

Whether it's the heavenly lightning, one of the symbols of authority in the Heavenly Court, used to punish lawbreakers and demon kings in the Little Garden, or the divine lightning on Indra's spear, which is said to destroy anything that touches it... she has accepted and overcome them all.

And there's no reason why they can't withstand the Titan's lightning before them.

I don't know who among these idiots is stronger or weaker, but none of them are as good as her.

"Let's just accept your performance as divine weapons for now."

The girl held the golden cudgel in mid-air, assuming an attacking stance.

"However, if you want to turn the world upside down, you'd better take this blow from Old Sun first!"

—How can thunder contend with the heavens?

As if to prove this point, the Monkey King let out a long roar and charged head-on at Titan's lightning.

……

……

Izayoi turned her head, her gaze intersecting with the black shadow lines that had been behind her.

Behind him stood St. Peter's Basilica, radiating a golden glow.

Even under the suppression of the Titans and the Black Wind, the power of the gods was not completely extinguished, and still protected this last pure land in the city of Rome.

So Izayoi came here.

Although they didn't know where their younger brother was, the most important target was definitely hiding in this building protected by divine power.

However, there are limits. Now, the power of protection is like a candle flickering in the wind compared to the past.

Yes... if it were that omnipresent black wind, it would surely be extinguished with a gentle breeze.

However, with the threat from the Dragon God above at the moment, Black Wind doesn't even have that much spare strength.

He only has one path to choose from.

Do you want to go there?

Izayoi smiled kindly.

It will take time for the opponent to break through the barrier, and as long as Izayoi remains standing here, there is no way he will have the chance.

Even if he is covered in wounds and even breathing is painful, it doesn't mean he has lost the power to throw a punch.

At this moment, the Monkey King was already facing the thunder head-on—since the original candidates of the stars were still fighting, there was no reason for humanity to fall.

However, when faced with obstacles at a critical moment, the shadowy figure once known as James did not show any anger.

"I really underestimated...humans."

The dark shadow swayed with the black wind.

“It is to be expected that the Heavenly Army will be powerful. However, even the Heavenly Army cannot completely intervene due to the rules. Therefore, I could not have imagined that you could do this.”

Even though he knew time was running out, James continued to speak slowly.

What he said was true. Whether it was Saigo Homura successfully mobilizing Azdakka's power, or Izayoi stubbornly standing there after enduring the demonic power of the King of Killers, neither of these should have been things that a human who was not yet truly complete could do.

"—But in your current state, do you really think you can continue to block me? Or are you willing to pay with your life?"

Izayoi didn't speak, she just stood there quietly.

In fact, even speaking now aggravates his wound.

However... although he felt that James seemed somewhat different from the one he had met before, what the black poet said was actually not wrong.

As long as he can pave the way and fulfill his mission, then his life is not that important.

This idea is undoubtedly inconsistent with Izayoi's past aesthetics; however, without this awareness, it would be impossible to stand here.

"Then what if I were included?"

A new voice entered between the two.

Homura Saigo also walked out of the church with a resolute expression.

His eyes were already an ominous crimson.

If James hadn't already lost face, he would definitely be wearing a wry smile right now.

The original candidates who opened up human history, and the final trial of humanity that blocked... or rather, warned against the erroneous development of humankind.

The two individuals wielding these two powers simultaneously blocked his path.

Five years ago, probably no one would have believed such a joke.

however……

"So you really did stand up for us."

James, seemingly having anticipated this scene, nodded slightly.

“Those who pioneer and build, those who accumulate and construct… you who are like this will surely be able to truly move towards omnipotence together with this generation of humanity.”

The poet in black exclaimed with unprecedented sincerity.

It's not about leading, but about working together after clearing away most of the obstacles at the forefront.

"—That's precisely why we want you to face the final, true obstacle, to understand the limits of humanity, to understand... what the true despair of humanity is!"

The shadowy figure rose up with the sound, and at the same time, the two brothers, who hadn't said much but were in perfect harmony, suppressed the divine aura behind them with white light that represented completely different meanings.

Before the shadowy figure's voice had completely faded, the two had already crossed paths.

The aurora borealis, capable of both opening and destroying human history, intertwined with the black storm, tearing through the clouds and ripping apart space.

Then, it pierced through the void.

Chapter 856 Feeling Chilled

A beam of light, interwoven with black and white, pierced through the world and stretched towards the end of the void.

However, this only lasted for a moment.

Almost immediately, a beam of white light severed the pillar of light in half.

Before that, the entire world had already been swept by white light.

The black winds that originally filled the space didn't even have a chance to struggle... or rather, they seemed to have never intended to struggle in the first place, and were swept away by the white light.

The white light streaked across the universe in less than a second, which was too fast for humans to observe by any means. They had no idea that the calamity that could have destroyed civilization was thus vanished without a trace.

Of course, there is another equally pressing problem for the world.

“───!”

It wasn't as crisp as birdsong, but rather a deafening roar that couldn't be compared to even a thousand thunderclaps falling simultaneously, shaking the very fabric of Rome.

There were six divine lightning bolts, enough to shatter a planet countless times, illuminating almost the entire area directly within the reach of light energy into a blinding white.

That would be a scene that would lead countless people to believe it was the end of the world—when in reality, it was only a few dozen meters away from that outcome.

This is a distance that the Titans, the god-slaying giants, can cover in a single step, and it is also the distance between their weapons, stained with world-destroying lightning, and the ground.

But this distance, though only a step, is one that Titan could never cross.

"I didn't expect you to actually succeed, leaving little Al without even a chance to show off."

Standing behind the figure, whose entire body was charred black, Arger exclaimed with a genuinely surprised expression and tone.

Such a significant reaction is rare for beings of their level, but what just happened was indeed beyond Argel's common sense.

"Phew... I'm really sorry, but I won't let you get overtime pay so easily."

The monkey girl pursed her lips, shook off the carbonized part, revealing her fair skin that had somehow been regenerated and now looked perfectly intact. At the same time, she jumped off the slender stick she had just been standing on and grasped the base of the golden cudgel to restore it to its normal length.

"But there's no way around it. You don't know where your limits are until you push yourself... Anyway, this is just routine for me, I'm quite skilled at it."

The girl had lost her previous aura as the Monkey King; instead, she waved to Alger, whom she had only met a few times before, in a very familiar manner, like an ordinary girl next door.

However, what she said could silence her listeners.
