Chapter 222: Chapter 92
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The scene where the Silent Knight waved his sword and chopped off his arm was seen by every G.o.d that was paying attention to the battlefield. Many G.o.ds were terrified and noted to themselves that they would never fight against the bunch of insane people from the Desolation G.o.d system!
Although G.o.ds possessed the ability to restore broken limbs, the pain was substantial. Even G.o.ds from the battle league wouldn’t be willing to endure such pain. Many G.o.ds from non-battle leagues grew pale looking at the wretched sight.
The Silent Knight Himself couldn’t help but let out tragic roars from His throat. But His job had yet to end. He destroyed the broken arm using G.o.dly power in order to prevent it getting into His enemies’ hands and becoming a tool to curse Him. The pain was far worse than when it was broken. He was as pale as a piece of paper; even his dark eye circles grew grey.
To a G.o.d, even if His body broke apart, He wouldn’t die immediately. That right arm that was chopped off actually maintained clear consciousness. Hence, He felt the damage towards it. Although wouldn’t damage the Silent Knight’s original body, the pain would still be transmitted to Him.
In simpler terms, it equalled to Him destroying a part of his body.
And, it wasn’t destroyed in an instance, or flattened, or something of that sort, but was gradually demolished from inside out.
Such pain was unbearable, even to the bearman who was brave and tough!
There were countless beads of cold sweat forming on the face and body of the huge bearman. It almost converged into small rivers and wet His smooth hair completely, as though he were dredged up from the water.
Looking at the sight, a G.o.d sitting on the third row in the Pantheon Temple couldn’t help but complement. “Such extraordinary courage and endurance! If the Desolation G.o.d system lost the battle, I would step in to protect Him!”
Then, He looked over to the G.o.d of War seated in the second row.
The G.o.d of War creased his eyebrows. With His character, He preferred to eradicate the source of trouble, especially the few G.o.ds that were on friendly terms with the Desolation G.o.d system. If He didn’t fully root for them, they would definitely turn into hidden dangers.
But… The will of G.o.d of Pain was something he couldn’t disrespect.
The G.o.d of Pain was a strange G.o.d. He was the display of all pain in the world. From the viewpoint of His clergy, He should have been considered wicked. However, His religious teachings encouraged people to face pain, endure pain, and grow with the experience of pain. Hence, He influenced His clergy using such beliefs and pushed Himself into the kind camp.
Under His command, there was G.o.d of Punishment that carried the religious teaching of applying appropriate punishment to lead people back to kindness;” the Maiden of Pain that practiced the religious teaching of embracing pain; and the G.o.d of Healing that believed in helping people to receive less pain. The three G.o.ds and their eldest were simply carved out from the same mold. They didn’t treat pain as anything. They could always exercise their terrifying power during battle. Even the G.o.d of War wouldn’t be willing to have head-on collisions with them.
But… He was not willing to just let the bear go!
Just when He was deep in his thoughts, the G.o.d of Justice smiled coldly.
“Hey! Victory and defeat have yet to be called. Are you in hurry to carve up the spoils of war?”
All the G.o.ds looked towards Him, not understanding what He meant.
The situation then was clear. The War G.o.d system was really the most fightable one among all G.o.d systems. They sent out the G.o.d of Battle, and He had checked the battle power of almost half of the Desolation G.o.d system. With another few G.o.ds, the Desolation G.o.d system would almost be expelled.
…That’s not right. That “Desolation G.o.d system” was a small, poorly equipped group in name only. To describe it on Earth, one would say it was like a shelf company that rented an apartment as an office and prepared to run away any time. What sort of expelling would it be!
“You going to interfere?” the G.o.d of War looked at the G.o.d of Justice, unwilling to be outdone. “You could try to see if you can break through my obstruction before the Desolation G.o.d system is destroyed.”
The G.o.d of Justice smiled coldly. “I? If you don’t take action, I won’t. Battling at such level? Strong G.o.ds like us shouldn’t get involved.”
“Oh? Won’t you interfere? Do you think that the Orc G.o.ds will?”
“Don’t drag me in!” the main G.o.d of Orc G.o.d system Lefron said in distress. “If Steel Lion were to seek refuge from me, I would take Him in and protect Him. But if He can’t barge out from the encirclement, I won’t take any action.”
The G.o.d of War laughed happily.
Then, somewhere not far away from the main dimension, the battle at the door of Desolation G.o.d system’s holy kingdom was getting more and more ferocious.
Morani used all His skills and wanted to defeat that G.o.d of Battle as soon as possible so that He could support his allies. But the G.o.d of Battle was too skillful. His long spear appeared from nowhere and vanished into nowhere, and every stab contained strong G.o.dly power. He had to resist it with all he had. Although he was at the advantage, n.o.body knew how long it would take to transform this bit of advantage to victory!
On the other side, the last G.o.d follower, the huge catfish in Desolation G.o.d system, finally caught up. The huge catfish shook its head and waved its tail, then whipped the dragon-headed wars.h.i.+p with its thick strong tail. Along with Jogan, it blocked the wars.h.i.+p off from outside of the holy kingdom.
As everyone knew, the scariest power of the wars.h.i.+p that belonged to the G.o.d of Battle wasn’t charging or clas.h.i.+ng; it was connected to His holy kingdom. Once it knocked into the holy kingdom, the oracles and holy spirit of the G.o.d of Battle would barge in and flow over like surging tides, through the pathway transformed from the dragon-headed wars.h.i.+p.
There were some believers and oracles in the holy kingdom of the Desolation G.o.d system. Deducting the non-battle members, those who could fight made up roughly three figures. Compared to Sui Xiong’s Void Mask church, it was of course much stronger, but compared to the G.o.d of Battle, the henchmen under their control were calculated by tens of thousands; and that was only a conservative estimation…
Once the dragon-headed wars.h.i.+p barged into the holy kingdom of Desolation G.o.d system, what awaited their believers was a one-sided slaughter!
Luckily, no matter how amazing the dragon-headed wars.h.i.+p it was, it was merely a holy piece of equipment that had no one to control it temporarily. The huge earthworm joined forces with the huge catfish, which could easily block it off. It was unable to take a single step closer.
This allowed the Silent Knight that was nursing His injury to relax. He urged His G.o.dly power to have his right arm quickly restored while he held onto His sword, and prepared to take on anyone, anytime.
Everyone knew that G.o.d of Battle was not the only G.o.d-follower in War G.o.d system. The G.o.d of Justice could stop even the strong main G.o.d, the G.o.d of War. If any other G.o.d-followers dashed over it would be very troublesome.
There is a great saying: What you are afraid of will come along.
After a while, along with sighs, a knight riding on steed in a full silver armor carrying a heavy long sword, appeared in the air not far away.
“I really don’t want to fight in a war,” He mumbled to himself, but rushed his warhorse to dash over. He even shouted on his way over, “I am the commander of the G.o.d of War Strategy, who wants to fight with me!”
The Silent Knight looked at his right arm that had yet to recover, sighed, and greeted Him holding on to the sword with His left hand.
The commander of the G.o.d of War Strategy was well known for His “lack of drive.” Although He had outstanding ability, He didn’t like war. Even when he partic.i.p.ated in war, he would rather hide at the back to give commands than go to the front line personally.
But, no one ever felt that He was weak or incapable. Whoever thought so was given lessons brutally.
Although the driverless knight was not as brave and experienced as the G.o.d of Battle, it was the third expert in the War G.o.d system, even more courageous and better at war than the “crazy warrior and the G.o.d of Rage!”
But… The fact that He could come forward personally meant that the launched attack by the G.o.d of Battle wasn’t an individual action, but the decision of the entire War G.o.d system!
The Silent Knight was worried. He waved his sword in the air and fought with Augmentin who leapt off from his warhorse, unwilling to take advantage on His ride.
Due to his injury, he was obviously at the disadvantage. Regardless, he could still manage. The main factor would probably be that Augmentin really had no willpower. He was simply there to muddle through His work. Hence, it allowed the Silent Knight who was weaker to withstand His attack.
But, other G.o.d-followers in the War G.o.d system continuously appeared.
For example, the G.o.ddess of War and Death appeared riding on a poisonous dragon that spurted fire. The G.o.ddess was pa.s.sionate in causing tragic deaths and injuries for both parties because She believed that only tragic deaths displayed the greatness and brutality of war.
The G.o.d of Crazy Warriors and Rage, who was naked, would definitely have been arrested by the police if he was put on Earth. That man carried an axe that was bigger than his body. He wore a contorted smile. To Him who enjoyed battle and slaughter, He was happiest when fighting!
G.o.d of Hunt and Slaughter carried a long arrow and short spear and wore leather armor. The old man was actually not a regular member of the War G.o.d system but an outsider that built His holy kingdom on the border of War G.o.d system’s holy kingdom. Their relations.h.i.+p was similar to Desolation G.o.d system and Orc G.o.d system’s previously.
G.o.ddess of Pirates and Plunder steered a huge sailboat in a convenient yet glamorous short skirt. She carried a bayonet at the bow and gave out a hysterical laugh, like the cla.s.sic three syllabi Queen. She was also an outsider of the War G.o.d system and was on bad terms with the G.o.d of Sea War. Hence, when She saw a chance to win, She came back shamelessly.
As for the regular members of War G.o.d system, G.o.d of Sea War in sailor costume carried two short aces and sat on a great three-tiered wars.h.i.+p to hurry over. There were countless sailors that were bustling back and forth, cannons were slowly spun and aimed. They prepared to launch thousands of bombs simultaneously so that it would turn various G.o.ds in the Desolation G.o.d system into fireworks.
“It seems like I am going to die today…” On the ground in the battle ring, Morani left his message and sighed. He fixed his gaze upon the clergy crystal that was gradually descending and let out a heavy breath.
