Spellcasting Gods

The small sun, which was radiating light and heat, suddenly burst forth with a golden light that was blinding.

Moreover, each ray of light was like a sharp arrow falling from the sky, piercing the souls of the kneeling Incas and injecting them with unimaginable positive energy.

In less than a minute, thousands of warriors clad in golden armor and wielding energy weapons were created out of thin air.

Most importantly, they seemed to require no orders or commands, spontaneously gathering together to form tight battle formations, just like troops arrayed in battle formation on the square.

Seeing this sudden change, Zhang Cheng showed no panic whatsoever, but instead revealed a contemptuous smile: "You think a human wave tactic will work on me?"

"We'll only know if it works after we try it! Besides, do you think these Sun Warriors are just expendable? No, they're much more powerful than you think."

As the last word was uttered, Bachoe immediately raised his right hand and gave the order to attack.

The Incas, known as the Sun Warriors, roared in unison. Half of them charged forward, while the other half gathered their energy weapons to form a giant spear of light tens of meters long.

next second...

boom!

The light spear flew out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, slamming into the enemy's location and triggering a violent energy explosion. The power was so great that even gold melted into a scalding liquid under the terrifying heat.

Unfortunately, as Zhang Cheng has repeatedly mentioned before, for alchemy masters, a single attack method cannot pose a real threat.

He stood unharmed in the golden solution, raising his left hand to aim at the charging Sun Warriors, and muttered to himself with a cold laugh, "Trying to overwhelm me with sheer numbers? Naïve! Perhaps the Super Missile Storm can change your foolish mind."

The words had barely left his mouth!

Thousands of dazzling magical missiles shot out from his fingertips, tracing graceful arcs through the air as they launched an indiscriminate barrage against all enemies in front of him.

In less than three to five seconds, nearly two-thirds of the Sun Warriors disappeared from the world forever, along with their souls, while the remaining third were all wounded.

Not to mention them, even two or three death angels who were accidentally caught in the crossfire were turned to ashes by the terrifying barrage of bullets.

With the added power of the divine artifact, even the most ordinary spells can cause extremely terrifying damage, let alone the modified and enhanced version of Missile Storm.

The goddess Bachoe was clearly surprised that the warrior she had created using the power of the sun god could not even last a single round, and a look of astonishment appeared on her originally arrogant face.

Zhang Cheng, who always focused on results and ignored the process, naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack. He took out a cone-shaped bullet from his magic pouch and restored it to its normal size of over a meter. He quickly entered the corresponding password, then turned around, pulled Faust and Hilna up, and activated a group teleportation spell to escape dozens of kilometers away.

Before the other two could react to what was happening, they saw a ball of light, countless times brighter than the sun, suddenly illuminate the center of the golden city in the distance. Then, a deafening explosion and an earthquake followed as expected.

Boom!

As a mushroom cloud soared into the sky, the powerful shockwave instantly leveled everything within a radius of more than ten kilometers!

The terrifyingly high temperature generated by the explosion created a huge crater in the center of the Golden City.

“Nuclear…nuclear warhead?!” Faust stared in disbelief at the apocalyptic scene in the distance.

He simply couldn't believe that the young man standing next to him was so crazy as to detonate one of the most powerful weapons in the human world without hesitation.

“That’s right! To be precise, it’s a 20-megaton hydrogen bomb warhead. How about that, pretty powerful, right? I only managed to get my hands on it a couple of days ago. Never underestimate the power of technology. I guarantee that even the most powerful god would suffer a severe blow in the face of nuclear weapons,” Zhang Cheng replied meaningfully.

What is the biggest difference between magic and technology?

The answer is actually very simple!

The former is a power that requires extremely high talent and long-term research to acquire, and even if a certain amount of knowledge is accumulated and a learning system is formed, it cannot be guaranteed that it can be passed down 100%, let alone go further on the original basis.

The latter is different; it is a force that can be inherited and continuously developed. Most importantly, once a system is formed, it can be mass-produced, and even people who do not understand the principles can use it according to the operating instructions.

Especially nuclear warheads, whose power is comparable to a large-scale legendary spell, essentially only require a detonation button, so simple that even an idiot could activate them.

The subsequent launch procedures and multiple encryption methods were barriers set up to prevent accidents and were not essential components.

Zhang Cheng saw this point precisely, which is why he decided to secretly collect nuclear warheads, hoping to give the enemy a big surprise at a crucial moment. Even if he couldn't kill the enemy, he could buy himself enough time.

"Hahahaha! You're a complete madman! The craziest guy I've ever met! But I like your style!" After a brief moment of distraction, Faust burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face.

Because the outside world has always regarded the attack on the Vatican as one of the most insane acts in history, he now finds that a young man is even more insane than himself, completely disregarding any rules and consequences.

"Crazy?" Zhang Cheng shrugged dismissively. "Aren't we crazy enough what we're doing right now? Since we're already crazy, we might as well go all the way."

“Well said! The world we live in is insane! So only the most insane are qualified to reach the pinnacle of power! Let’s go see if that poor goddess is dead. If not, leave the rest to me. You must understand, the corpse of a god is extremely precious, and I don’t want you to destroy it beyond repair.”

Having said that, Faust leaped into the air, unfurling a pair of enormous bone wings from his back, and flew toward the Golden City.

Despite the fact that the explosion had wiped out almost all of the Death Angels, he felt no remorse whatsoever.

Because the body of a god is far more valuable than hundreds of angels of death.

As the saying goes, quantity is important, but quality is more important than quantity, especially when quantitative change has not yet led to qualitative change.

Watching the necromancer disappear into the distance, Zhang Cheng turned to the female demon hunter beside him and said, "You can begin your mission now. Remember to be careful; I don't want you to get killed on your first mission."

"Please don't worry, Master, I'm not that easy to die..."

Chapter 0718 The Spokesperson for Death

Central Square of the Golden City...

At this moment, it has been transformed into a huge crater by the astonishing energy generated by nuclear fusion, with hot winds constantly swirling in the sky, burning all plants and animals to ashes.

Everything around them—the buildings, statues, and roads built of gold nuggets, and the souls of the Incas who lived there—vanished completely, leaving only clumps of liquid gold that had not yet fully cooled.

However, inside the deep pit, the goddess Bachoe did not die. Instead, she wrapped herself in a ball of crystal-clear water, successfully withstanding the power of the nuclear explosion.

Of course, she wasn't unscathed. The right half of her body was almost completely vaporized, with abnormal black charred marks at the edges, and golden blood containing divinity dripping continuously from the wound.

Clearly, the mysterious substance that resembled water was not real water, but a powerful artifact.

As a deity born from mortals, she was originally just a minor lake goddess.

That's right!

This is the place that was once considered a sacred place by the Incas, now known as Lake Guadavida.

As for the title of the ancestral goddess, it was added later after being accepted by the sun god Inti.

As the goddess of the lake, her control over water is naturally quite strong.

In particular, she obtained a natural treasure that was originally hidden in the deepest part of Lake Guadavida, and then combined it with her own power to finally create this thing called the Essence of Divine Water.

If this thing hadn't absorbed most of the energy generated by the explosion, she probably would have evaporated into a gaseous state at the terrifying temperature long ago.

god!

They are never as omnipotent as people think!

If someone claims that their God is omnipotent, the supreme creator of the world and even the universe, then they are either an idiot who knows nothing, or a complete fraud.

When Bachoe struggled to leap out of the pit and saw the desolate scene before him, he roared in uncontrollable rage, "Damn it! These damned invaders! My golden city! The dream kingdom I created with my own hands! It's all been destroyed!"

Just as she was hysterically venting her intense emotions, a hammer-shaped bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, crashing down with a loud crack and instantly creating a blinding white flash.

Fortunately, the essence of the divine water was still surrounding his body, successfully absorbing a large portion of the damage; otherwise, given his current condition, he would have been crippled even if he didn't die.

Clearly, the one who threw that hammer-shaped lightning bolt was none other than Lavern, who had just passed through the black gate.

Because the nuclear warhead explosion was so powerful, even on the other side of the portal, the earth-shattering force could still be felt.

Therefore, he abandoned his duty to guard the entrance and came to see what had happened. The first thing he saw was the injured goddess, and without thinking, he launched an attack.

“A descendant of gods?!” Bachue narrowed his eyes, revealing a wary expression.

"Good morning, Your Majesty. Could you please tell me what happened here before, and where my allies are?" Lavern asked cautiously, while quickly gathering his strength to prepare for the next attack.

But just as they stared at each other in silence, Faust finally leaped dozens of kilometers and suddenly swooped down from the height, staring at his opponent with eyes like a hungry wolf: "You really didn't die! Very good! Excellent! It seems I'm about to get the research material I've been dreaming of."

The words had barely left his mouth!

His slightly thin body began to emit black smoke, and soon a huge phantom wearing a cloak formed behind him.

Lavern seemed to know the power of this phantom, and immediately retreated to maintain a safe distance, while loudly asking, "Old friend! Before we start fighting, can you tell me what's going on here, and where Zhang and his men are?"

"Don't worry, our ally is fine. In fact, what you're seeing now is entirely his doing. You know, you always said I was a bit too crazy, but today I've discovered there are people in the world even crazier than me," Faust replied meaningfully.

"You mean Zhang?" A hint of surprise flashed in Laffern's eyes.

"Heh heh! That's right! Can you believe it? He detonated a nuclear warhead without a second thought! Without any hesitation! Without considering the consequences! I have to say, the best decision you've ever made was bringing him into our camp. I can't even imagine how terrible it would be to be enemies with a guy like that one day."

As he said this, Faust's lips curled up slightly, revealing a chilling, twisted smile.

"What?! A nuclear warhead! Has he gone mad? The Supreme Council Joint Meeting strictly forbade any underworld resident from manufacturing, storing, or using that thing. Once discovered, whoever it is will face an attack from the entire world." Lavern's voice trembled slightly.

Only now did he realize how wrong he had been to think he understood the other person's thoughts so well!

"Hmph! Believe me, if that day ever comes, he wouldn't mind dragging the whole world down with him. In a way, we're the same kind of people. Alright, enough chit-chat. You'd better stay away from me now, I don't want to accidentally hurt you..."

The moment the last word left his mouth, Faust immediately raised his left hand high and made a chopping motion towards the goddess.

The enormous phantom behind him also swung its giant axe and smashed it down hard in front of it.

moment!

A surge of death energy erupted, completely enveloping the target.

Bachuai had no way to dodge and could only continue to hold up the essence of the divine water in an attempt to withstand the attack.

However, she clearly did not quite understand the special nature of death energy, especially the special death energy created by Faust, who was known as the most powerful necromancer.

In just a few seconds, her body and appearance began to age, transforming her from a woman in her early twenties into a middle-aged woman in her forties, with wrinkles appearing on many parts of her skin.

You should know that Bachoe is a goddess!

A true goddess who will never age or die!

But now, someone has actually destroyed the immortal cells in her body, causing her to approach the end of her life like a mortal.

In an instant, an indescribable panic inevitably welled up in my heart.

"You...you've cracked the mystery of death?!"

"Decipher it? No, no, no, I am the mystery of death itself. I am the sole representative of death in this world," Faust replied coldly.

Chapter 0719 The Power of Rules

"The Spokesperson for Death? That title sounds pretty impressive." Zhang Cheng, who had somehow teleported back, stood next to Lavern and teased him with a half-smile.

“He was already incredibly powerful! Do you know what that huge phantom behind Faust is? It’s the embodiment of the death power of the entire world! Apart from the Grim Reapers who have disappeared for countless years, he is the only mortal who has mastered this power.” Lavern explained with a serious expression.

"The embodiment of the power of death? You mean the rules of death!" Zhang Cheng suddenly realized something, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.

Lavern replied without hesitation, “That’s right! It’s the Law of Death. But as far as I know, he can’t fully control this power yet. Once he gets excited, he falls into a state of losing himself and attacks everything around him indiscriminately until he has harvested enough lives. So never get close, or you will definitely be affected.”
