Chapter 177: The Infallible Divine Shot of Eternally Burning Flames

The brief peace lasted for three months before being broken by a man from Vestra who claimed to be a nobleman and had come to provide information about the Divine Spear.

King Philican received him, and the nobleman, escorted by soldiers, arrived at the hall filled with ministers, with King Philican sitting on the throne at the very front.

"The Divine Spear is fake. Vistra never obtained the Divine Spear in the first place. It's all nonsense!" The nobleman blurted out this shocking news as soon as he arrived at the main hall.

In an instant, gasps of surprise filled the hall. The ministers looked at each other in shock, and then turned their gazes to King Felican on the throne.

King Filican, being of high rank, possessed considerable composure. He did not reveal any obvious emotions, his eyes slightly narrowed, carrying a scrutinizing air.

"The legendary marksman doesn't exist, is that true?"

The gaze made the nobleman shudder. Under the king's oppressive aura, he couldn't help but kneel down with a thud and hurriedly said:

"This is absolutely true! I know that Vestallo is doomed to defeat, so I have come to seek refuge with you. Please, Your Majesty, grant me a way out!"

The voice resounded throughout the hall, and the sincerity in the words could not be faked.

King Filican had already believed most of it, but he remained unmoved:

"This matter still needs to be confirmed. If it is true, we will not deceive you. If it is false... according to Philippine law, those who deceive the king shall be boiled alive."

After saying this, King Filican ignored the nobleman's pale face, moved his finger, and the soldiers outside the hall understood immediately, dragging the nobleman out and locking him in the dungeon.

Subsequently, King Felican dispatched elite troops to the territory of Vestra, where the Vestra army suffered repeated defeats and offered no resistance.

After this test, King Felican knew that Vestra did not possess the Divine Spear. If Vestra truly did have the Divine Spear, whether for repelling or intimidating the enemy, it would only be used when elite troops entered Vestra's territory.

But Avisla didn't have it, which means Avisla didn't have the divine spear.

"Hahahaha! So the claim of finding the divine spear was just a lie, deceiving us for months. This time, we will surely take Vestra!" King Felican laughed, and with a wave of his hand, his army stormed into Vestra's territory.

Led by Philican's strongest superhuman, this army swept through the land with ease, successfully reaching the outskirts of the capital of Vistula in just a few days.

With the army at the gates, the morale of the Philican army was undoubtedly at its peak. As long as they captured the capital of Vistra, Philican would successfully unify the entire continent.

Months ago, the gods themselves admitted that as long as all the ape-men agreed, they would receive a reward from the gods.

That was a gift from the gods! Although they didn't know what it was, the gods bestowed knowledge and civilization upon the ape-men in their first dream, and foretold the great flood in their second dream. Whatever the gods might bestow, it was definitely a treasure that would allow the ape-men to soar to new heights!

Just when the soldiers thought victory was within reach, Philican's strongest superhuman keenly sensed an orange-red light flashing on the walls of the capital of Vistula. He squinted and saw a long spear burning with flames being held by a burly man with a thick beard.

Upon seeing this, the strongest superhuman in Felican couldn't help but laugh. He had long known that the news that "Vistra possessed the divine spear" was false, and that the guy on the city wall holding a lit wooden stick was definitely bluffing.

Just as he was about to shout loudly and capture the city of Vistra in one fell swoop, a beam of fire shot out from the city wall, carrying an eternally burning flame, instantly tearing a hideous gash in the Philipan army.

The smile of Philican's strongest superhuman froze on his face. He looked back and saw the flaming spear cutting straight through the army. Every soldier pierced by the spear would burst into flames, burning their bronze armor into molten iron and their bodies into charcoal.

A chorus of wails erupted, instantly dampening the previously high morale.

Philican's strongest superhuman froze on the spot. Suddenly realizing something, he abruptly turned his head to stare at the figure wielding the divine spear on the city wall. Anger, disgust, and killing intent mingled within him, and he said in a distorted voice:

"You...you bunch of lunatics!!"

There was no response to this. Under the divine spear, the mortal army was as fragile as paper. In a short while, the Philican army suffered heavy casualties. If Philican's strongest superhuman had not escaped quickly, he might have been locked onto by the divine spear and died on the spot.

Having finally escaped back to Felician, the strongest superhuman in Felician told King Felician everything he had seen. King Felician was furious upon hearing this and immediately went to the prison with his soldiers, intending to torture the nobleman severely.

Unexpectedly, when King Filican arrived at the prison, he found only a corpse lying on the ground and deep bloodstains on the wall, indicating that the person had died by hitting the wall.

It turns out that this nobleman was specially sent by Vestallo to spread false information. The divine spear is indeed very powerful, but once it is used, the enemy will not launch a frontal attack again.

In order to annihilate the main force of Filikan in one fell swoop, they chose to deceive. Once all of Filikan's combat power was gathered, they could directly inflict a heavy blow on Filikan.

"How despicable!" King Felican pounded the wall in fury, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Vestra possessed the divine spear, and the possibility of defeating him on the battlefield was virtually zero, unless...

King Filican's eyes lit up. The Divine Spear was unmatched on the front lines, but its wielder could not remain in combat forever. To take down Vistra, all that was needed was a well-trained assassination squad.

From that day on, the training of the assassination squad was carried out in secret. In order to deceive Vistra, King Felician continued to recruit soldiers and send them to the front lines to obscure their vision.

Of course, this tactic was no different from sending soldiers to their deaths in vain, which caused widespread panic in Filica and rumors began to circulate that Filica was about to be defeated.

For a time, everyone was in danger. In order to avoid being conscripted, some people even considered treason. However, if such people were caught, they would undoubtedly be executed on the spot.

This brutality deceived both the Philicans and the Vestras. In contrast to the Philicans, the Vestras capital was filled with revelry and celebration, as if victory was already assured. King Vestra even felt:

"Vistra found the divine spear; it is the gods' blessing upon us! The victory in this war, and the gods' reward, will all belong to us!"

But it was too early to open the champagne. As a result, a team of assassins composed of superhumans secretly infiltrated Vestra and, under the cover of night, killed King Vestra and all the other ministers. Before killing them, they interrogated them to find out the identity of the gun user.

"The strongest superhuman on the Vistula, cultivated from the lives of two hundred extraordinary creatures? Without the Divine Spear, what are you?"

Under the flawless night, the strongest superhuman in Felican, with cold eyes, secretly headed to the residence of the strongest superhuman in Vistula, determined to kill him while he was in a dream.

Chapter 178: The Moment of Assassination

The residence of the strongest superhuman in Vistula was not remote; the strongest superhuman in Felican found it in less than a quarter of an hour.

At this moment, the burly man with a thick beard was lying on the bed, and the sound of his even breathing could be heard in the quiet room.

The strongest superhuman in Felican lay on the windowsill, not taking immediate action. He scanned the room, trying to find the divine spear, but after looking around, he didn't see a single weapon, let alone the divine spear.

That makes sense. How could such a powerful weapon as the Divine Spear be constantly tied to the strongest superhuman in the Vistula?

This was exactly what Philican's strongest superhuman wanted. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he quietly opened the window and leaped into the room.

After all, the strongest superhuman in Vistula had killed two hundred superhuman species, and his five senses had been enhanced to an inhuman level. When the strongest superhuman in Felican leaped into the room through the window, he was instantly awakened from his dream and opened his eyes abruptly.

"Who?!"

The strongest superhuman in Vistula looked toward the source of the sound. With his superhuman vision, he saw the person who had come. He was dressed in black, like an assassin, and the only thing he could see was his eyes, which were filled with a mixture of surprise and mockery.

Filikan's strongest superhuman did not dodge. Now that Vistula's strongest superhuman had awakened, he could take this opportunity to avenge his previous defeat.

A deep sense of malice enveloped the strongest superhuman in Vistula. Sensing something was wrong, he instantly rolled out of bed and punched the strongest superhuman in Felican in the face.

Snapped!

A crisp sound rang out as Philican's strongest superhuman merely raised his hand, blocking an attack from Vistula's strongest superhuman. Vistula's strongest superhuman was shocked and quickly distanced himself from Philican's strongest superhuman, his face showing vigilance.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The strongest superhuman in Filikan did not answer the question directly; he smiled like a cat that had spotted a mouse.

"Look at you now, where did that arrogant look from last time go?"

Upon hearing this, the strongest superhuman in Vistula immediately realized something. He stared intently into the eyes of the strongest superhuman in Felican, those eyes... he seemed to have seen them somewhere before.

A few seconds later, he suddenly remembered that he had seen those eyes in the Felican army not long ago; they belonged to the Felican superhumans who were said to be the strongest.

"It's you? You've come to kill me?" The strongest superhuman in Vistula's face turned cold. He was not currently wielding the divine spear, and after the recent probing, he knew that his strength was inferior to that of the strongest superhuman in Felican.

Now that things have come to this, I must go to the armory to get the divine gun. Only in this way can I survive and kill the person in front of me.

Just as the strongest superhuman in Vistula was pondering this, how could the strongest superhuman in Filikan not know what he was thinking? He chuckled and said:

“I have already dealt with the soldiers nearby. Now you only have two choices: be killed by me, or be killed by my comrades outside.”

"This is outrageous!" The strongest superhuman in Vistula turned completely pale. Knowing that he had no way out, he could only clench his fists and step forward, each move aimed at a vital point.

But his speed was still no match for Philican's strongest superhuman. He easily dodged the attacks and laughed loudly:

"Is that all you've got? You've really disappointed me."

Having said that, he had no time to waste. After dodging the jab of the strongest superhuman in the Vistula, he seized the gap in the attack, clamped his wrist tightly, and twisted it, resulting in a crisp "crack".

The most powerful superhuman in Vistula let out a wail, and then his throat was locked by the most powerful superhuman in Felican, who lifted his massive body into the air.

"Tell me, where is the sharpshooter?" The words were cold and devoid of any warmth, as if saying "no" would mean certain death.

However, when faced with the threat of death, Avistra smiled, revealing his blood-stained teeth:

"Even if I told you, I'd still die."

"At least it'll be easier to die."

The strongest superhuman in Felican spoke, and along with his words came a powerful, heavy punch.

boom!

The fist slammed heavily into the abdomen of the strongest superhuman in Vistula. The terrifying force made his eyes widen and he cough up a mouthful of blood.

Even so, the strongest superhuman in Vistula showed no sign of yielding. Even when the strongest superhuman in Filican broke his thigh and snapped his fingers one by one, he did not reveal any information about the divine spear.

Seeing the most powerful superhuman on Vistra being tortured beyond recognition, even the most powerful superhuman on Filikan was at a loss. He stared into the other's eyes, trying to see through his weakness.

But those eyes were filled with determination. To be honest, the strongest superhuman in Filikan admired him somewhat, but admiration was nothing without the position of the Divine Spear.

At this moment, the strongest superhuman in Felican noticed that the broken right hand of the strongest superhuman in Vistula was covered with burn marks from flames. He didn't pay attention at first, but when he thought of the divine spear, he suddenly realized something.

Using such a powerful weapon as the Divine Spear is bound to come at a price. Even the strongest superhuman in the Vistulas suffered indelible burns on his arm when using the Divine Spear. So, can an ordinary person really use the Divine Spear?

Indeed, if King Vistra could wield the divine spear, he would not entrust it to anyone else. And there must be one important criterion for storing such a weapon: fire prevention.

Thinking of this, the strongest superhuman in Felican looked at the strongest superhuman in Vistula and asked suspiciously:

"The sharpshooter is in the armory?"

"How could that be? How could something so important be kept in that kind of place? Do you think we're stupid?"

The strongest superhuman in Vistula revealed a disdainful smile, but the strongest superhuman in Filikan saw a hint of panic in it. He smiled and understood everything.

He said nothing, a faint smile on his lips, and turned to leave.

At first, the strongest superhuman in Vistula thought he had given up, but when he thought of the question he had just asked and the meaningful look in his eyes before leaving, he immediately realized that he knew the location of the Divine Spear.

The strongest superhuman in Vistula stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape as if to say something, but before he could utter a word, several assassins dressed in similar black outfits entered the room, wielding short knives, their eyes cold as if they were looking at a dead object.

Overnight, King Vistula, his ministers, and Vistula's strongest superhuman all perished, and even the divine spear disappeared without a trace.

Before Avisla could recover from the chaos, the army of Philicane pressed in, and in just five days, they breached the capital and declared Avisla to belong to Philicane.

From this moment on, the Iz people, who had been scattered by Lilith, were reunited, and the entire nation of Felican celebrated this historic moment.

If you were to open the later editions of the *Epic of Philichan*, you would find the following passage:

[The Philicans received divine revelation, unified the four kingdoms, and were personally aided by the gods to achieve "True Manhood," removing their body hair and granting them a lifespan of 120 years, making them a "Higher Race."]

Chapter 179: Divine Descent

Philican successfully unified the continent, fulfilling Lilith's orders. Lilith naturally observed these events but did not immediately bestow upon the people of Philican the so-called reward.
