Chapter 1193: The Struggle Before Death (Part One)
[TL Note: This is a four-parter.]
In the next moment, Platini did something shocking to everyone.
He suddenly pointed the Scepter of Ragnarok at himself and pierced it into his body. The sharp end of the scepter instantly stabbed into his chest, and golden blood that contained terrifying power rushed out like a fountain.
Fei was shocked as he thought, "Could it be that this guy can"t beat me, so he is going to harm himself in frustration?"
At this moment, a streak of indescribable creepy presence leaked out of the Scepter of Ragnarok in the form of blackish-red mist.
This streak of energy was completely different from that of the Scepter of Creation. The latter had a majestic, n.o.ble, and unquestionable presence, but the former seemed dark, gloomy, and murderous. It was all negative emotions and urges.
However, the energy that appeared in the Scepter of Ragnarok nearly went above the G.o.dly King Realm as well, almost reaching the level of the Scepter of Creation.
"What is going on? Platini is cultivating the holy power, and the Scepter of Ragnarok is a holy item of the Holy Church. How come such an evil presence appeared when the two combined?" Fei was shocked.
At this moment, he couldn"t think too much. Either he was going to die or Platini was going to die. Therefore, Fei had to unleash all his core energy and push the Scepter of Creation, releasing an even stronger streak of power. The emperor was trying to completely kill Platini before the 12-minute mark.
However, the blackish-red evil presence was getting more and more powerful; it gradually seemed to be able to rival the Scepter of Creation.
A serious expression also appeared on Maradona"s face. He already ditched the cigar, and he looked hesitant for the first time. It seemed like he was wondering if he should attack or not.
Right now, Valkyrie Elena couldn"t get involved at all.
Both Fei and Platini unleashed a level of power beyond the G.o.dly King Realm. Elena could only unleash her full force and barely stay alive.
"Hahaha! You can"t do anything to me… you just can"t!" Platini laughed crazily and said, "You forced me to do this. After merging with the Scepter of Ragnarok, I lost my soul but obtained eternal life. Alexander, you will regret pressuring me to this degree. Soon, what happened to Pato will also happen to you…"
What Platini said revealed some important pieces of information.
It was clear that the Scepter of Ragnarok wasn"t only a symbol of status and power, and it also wasn"t only a simple G.o.d-tier combat weapon. It had hidden powers and abilities.
Fei cussed in his mind. "d.a.m.n it! Such a magnate-like figure sure has hidden cards. This situation is too f*cking frustrating."
"I didn"t think that things would come to this degree."
"It seems like it is hard to take down Platini today."
At this moment, something that no one expected occurred.
The Scepter of Ragnarok that was about to completely merge with Platini"s body seemed to be suddenly summoned by a mysterious force, shaking violently.
As Platini looked terrified, this invisible force slowly "pulled" the Scepter of Ragnarok out of his body.
The blackish-red mist coming out of the Scepter of Ragnarok that could rival the Scepter of Creation gradually disappeared, and the evil energy that was protecting Platini also started to lose power and disappear.

Chapter 1193: The Struggle Before Death (Part Two)
"No… why is this happening? No!" Platini shouted like a madman. He tried to struggle and fight back. He grabbed onto the scepter and tried to resist the pulling force, but he couldn"t stop this from happening.
In just a flash, the golden scepter was completely pulled out of his body and hovered above Platini.
Whoosh!
Then, the Scepter of Ragnarok shook and turned into a golden light beam, instantly breaking the green light prison that was created by the goblin supreme G.o.d"s partial laws of nature. Afterward, the scepter completely disappeared.
Without the Scepter of Ragnarok, Platini"s power instantly dropped back to his prior level.
Except for the bowl-sized blood hole in his chest, Platini returned to his old form. He could no longer rival Fei"s power.
Now, many spider-web-like thin cracks appeared on Platini"s body, and blood flowed out, turning him into a blood man.
"d.a.m.n it! Blatter! You old fart! You demon… it is you who have been scheming behind my back! I got tricked!"
Platini seemed to have understood something at this moment.
After igniting the last bit of power in his body, Platini turned into a light beam and roared, trying to escape from the opening that the Scepter of Ragnarok created in the green light prison.
However, Fei wouldn"t let Platini get what he wanted.
Waving the Scepter of Creation, Fei shot out a streak of terrifying silver light. Although Platini lightly touched it, he screamed as he lost all his power.
Bam! Platini fell from the sky and exploded into blood foam.
A ma.s.s of pure and eye-piercing golden flames escaped from the blood foam, containing intense spirit energy fluctuations.
This was Platini"s core energy.
For those existences in the G.o.dly King Realm, even if they turned into dust, their consciousness wouldn"t disappear, and they could still revive as long as they safeguarded their core energies.
However, when in such a state, these masters would be extremely fragile, and they couldn"t use any bit of their superpowers.
Fei pointed out his fingers, and a golden and silver sword energy of order flew out, turning into many thin chains and wrapping around this ma.s.s of golden flames.
Platini"s core energy was instantly imprisoned.
"No, you can"t treat me like this!" Platini"s terrified spirit energy fluctuations were transmitted through the golden flames.
Fei pulled this ma.s.s of golden flames into his hand.
Seeing the 12 [G.o.dly Warriors] who stopped moving and turned silent due to Platini"s body"s destruction, especially Pato"s pale yet lifelike face, Fei couldn"t hold back the murderous spirit on his mind. He sneered and said, "Why can"t I treat you like this? You are a sc.u.mbag! Do you still want to live in this world?"
"No… no… listen to me! I can tell you everything that I know. I can tell you the secrets about this goblin supreme G.o.d"s corpse and how to control it. I can even tell you how to control the goblins and all the secrets in the Holy Church. I…"
Platini almost instantly collapsed at this moment. He was no longer the Deputy Pope of the Holy Church who controlled countless people"s lives, and he also wasn"t an overlord who dominated the continent.
Right now, this man could only beg for mercy and try his best to survive.
Before death, he was even weaker than an ordinary member of the Holy Church.

Chapter 1193: The Struggle Before Death (Part Three)
Platini put many attractive and valuable offers on the table.
"If you don"t kill me; if you promise not to kill me, I can tell you everything. I can even serve you…" Platini begged, "The Azeroth Continent is facing a catastrophe. You can"t imagine what is happening in this dimension! I can tell you…."
Further away, Continental Martial Saint Maradona pondered to himself. It was clear that he wasn"t distracted by what Platini said. Instead, he stared at the direction that the Scepter of Ragnarok took off and thought hard about something.
Almost without hesitation, Fei shook his head and declined all offers. "Platini, you didn"t only betray those faithful believers, you also betrayed the [Black-Cloth Shrine] and the Azeroth Continent. I won"t make a deal with someone like you. Therefore, disappear from this world!"
Before Fei finished speaking, he tightened his hands and crushed this ma.s.s of flames. Then, a ma.s.sive amount of spirit energy appeared and shattered Platini"s last bit of consciousness in this world.
A heavyweight magnate of the Holy Church instantly disappeared from this world! It was unbelievable that Platini died like this.
Once the news got out, the entire continent would shake violently.
Even at this moment, Fei couldn"t believe what just took place.
"Platini is someone who lived in legends. This troublesome opponent only fought me one, and he died just like this? Did I only kill one of his mirror images or doppelgangers?" Fei thought to himself.
However, the ma.s.s of G.o.dly-king-level energy flames in Fei"s hand told him that there was no mistake. Except for Platini, no one could have such a ma.s.sive amount of pure holy power.
Gradually, the emperor refined this ma.s.s of energy and sucked it into his grand G.o.dly realm.
Continental Martial Saint Maradona observed the entire process, and his eyelids twitched repeatedly.
"Devouring his opponents" core energies? Is this the reason behind the Human Emperor of the North"s rise?"
"This is a terrifying secret technique. Devouring the enemy"s core energy and using it as his own… this is unheard of! As long as he can kill enough masters, his realm will continue to increase without limit! Ordinary people have to cultivate diligently and face bottlenecks and thresholds, but he is free of all these issues?"
"This is insane!"
Maradona thought to himself.
"Thank you, Senior! Your help is greatly appreciated." After devouring Platini"s energy, Fei smiled and showed his grat.i.tude toward Maradona.
"Hahaha! It should me who need to thank you. Fighting with Platini, this sc.u.mbag, for many years, I couldn"t do anything to him. Today, by borrowing your strength, this sc.u.mbag finally met his end…" The Continental Martial Saint talked like a little hooligan, which was easy for others to feel intimate and trust him.
What Maradona said was true. He fought Platini many years both in the dark and in public, and he knew Platini"s true self. The latter seemed honorable, but he was despicable. However, Platini"s status and influence were great, and many masters followed him. Even though Maradona was the Continental Martial Saint, he couldn"t do anything to Platini.
Throughout the years, Maradona and Platini only had small skirmishes, and Maradona could only watch as Platini"s force grew stronger.
This time, Maradona got to partner with the Human Emperor of the North in secret. They created this trap, and Platini was also betrayed by someone on his side.

Chapter 1193: The Struggle Before Death (Part Four)
The Human Emperor of the North placed himself in danger and act accordingly, finally killing this ambitious conspirator.
The only thing that Maradona felt pitiful about was that he discovered this goblin supreme G.o.d"s corpse too late. Otherwise, he could have stopped this crazy plan, helping hundreds of millions of humans in the Southern Region to avoid the fate of being slaughtered.
The tragedy already struck.
Now that the "beheading" mission was successful, Fei and Maradona only had to use this momentum and clear all the remaining goblins in the Southern Region of Azeroth, wiping out this violent race.
Maradona couldn"t do this on his own. Only a giant force like the Northern Region Empire had the manpower, resources, and energy to complete this mission.
"These 12 [G.o.dly Warriors] are no longer in Platini"s control, and they are puppets. With the powerful magic civilization of the Northern Region Empire, I believe that you can make some modifications and use them. You can take them all." Maradona was kind and generous.
Fei glanced at these 12 [G.o.dly Warriors] who were all G.o.dly kings. He would be lying if he said that he didn"t want them. These were 12 G.o.dly-king-level battle machines! With them, the Northern Region Empire could instantly dominate the continent.
However, Fei shook his head in the end.
"These people were all the honorable and loyal protectors of humans. Before they died, they used their lives and souls to guard humans, showing the responsibility and honor of warriors. Now, their souls are being controlled by Platini"s evil spell. I can"t let them continue to be battle machines and not able to rest in peace after death."
While saying that, Fei raised his hand and shot out 12 streaks of golden holy power.
The golden light beams engulfed the 12 [G.o.dly Warriors] who froze in the air, washing away the evil energy in their bodies and getting rid of the evil black magic that controlled them. Also, the curses and complicated spiritual magic runes were removed.
The mercury-like metal surface on these warriors gradually turned into pieces and fell off, revealing pieces of muscles and bones underneath that were pieced together. There were so many components that it seemed like they were bio-robots.
While being purified by the golden light, the darkened bones and muscles started to return to their normal colors, and a ton of black mist gushed out of these 12 giant bodies before being dissolved in the light.
Then, ma.s.ses of white light flew out of these [G.o.dly Warriors], releasing a series of spirit energy fluctuations while bathing in the golden light.
"The kind and generous emperor of humans! You released our souls!"
"May the stars bless you!"
"You will be the lord of the continent!"
"We are finally free!"
"Human Emperor, you will receive our purest blessings!"
The ma.s.ses of white light flew around Fei, and the weak energies turned into many different faces; they were the last marks that these dead human masters left in this world. They were thanking Fei and offering blessings.
Fei was surprised to find that a ton of pure and strong power of faith rushed to him and engulfed him like a flood.
"My Brother, we meet again…" Before Fei, Pato"s face slowly appeared. He was quiet, peaceful, and intimate. It seemed like the tragedy didn"t occur.
Pato smiled and said, "Ever since I fell into darkness, I knew that you, my dear brother, will save me and let my soul rest in peace. I didn"t wait that long; you did it!"
