Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 719: The Death of Suvenas
A pitch-black blade light severed everything, even splitting the altar in two.
Suvenas was cut into countless pieces, his maniacal laughter still echoing in the ruins.
Those broken pieces of flesh twisted and writhed, sprouting gaping mouths filled with sharp teeth. His clicking eyes coldly watched Xi Wei suspended in mid-air, repeatedly repeating, “You can’t kill me!” and swiftly fragmenting and differentiating into new Suvenas.
In an instant, the ruins of the altar were densely packed with Suvenas.
Looking down from the sky, these monsters gathered, roaring upwards, freely extending their tentacles and flesh.
The stench they stirred up even formed dark green clouds that enveloped the sky.
This absurd and strange scene was quite frightening, to be honest.
If it were someone else, they would likely have started to fear, thinking, “Will Suvenas just keep multiplying the more I kill him?”
But Xi Wei didn’t have such thoughts because Suvenas’s level was continuously dropping.
This old geezer was just putting on a show; did he really think Xi Wei would be afraid?
Xi Wei transformed his Death Divinity into a sky-high rain of arrows that fell downwards.
Suvenas’s level also dropped as his clones were injured and killed.
At the same time, he continuously produced new clones. These clones couldn’t withstand even a single divine arrow and were instantly killed. This caused the rate at which his level dropped to accelerate. Gradually, more and more monsters appeared on the altar, even piling up into a meat wall. They moaned and writhed, burrowing like maggots in the pool of blood and flesh, their endless murmurs echoing around.
Xi Wei found his Sanity dropping even faster.
Suvenas was indeed becoming weaker, and the surrounding contamination was becoming more serious.
It had to be said that the Old Ones’ Retainers were truly troublesome. If Xi Wei had faced any other enemy of equal level belonging to Cain, they would have been killed with a single sword strike. Yet, Suvenas, relying on the corruption of the Old Ones, was like an unkillable cockroach, persisting for so long.
The next second, a sudden change occurred.
“Boom—!”
From the endless tide of flesh and blood, a giant Golem arm shot up into the sky, like a silver sword piercing the bloody belly. Filthy blood flowed slowly along the grooves and patterns of the Golem arm, with rotten flesh and severed limbs clinging to the joints, splattering everywhere.
This Golem hand grabbed the outer wall of the Lapland Royal Palace, pulling out the entire body hidden beneath the tide of flesh and blood—it was a colossal Golem puppet!
In a flash, the flesh and blood began to grow along the War God Golem, quickly merging with it and finally forming a strange semi-alchemical, semi-demonic creature.
If one called it an Old Ones’ Retainer, it was powered by a Magic Core and emitted significantly less corrupting energy.
If one called it an alchemical Golem, its V-shaped visor, however, overflowed with numerous writhing tentacles. The majority of the Golem’s joints were covered in pulsating tumors and blood vessels. Its metal shell even displayed dense clusters of eyes. These eyeballs trembled, radiating joy and madness, and finally locked onto Xi Wei simultaneously.
Suvenas’s hoarse laughter emanated from the War God Golem.
“I must thank you. Thank you for helping me differentiate into this spread-out form. This allowed me to merge with the War God Golem in a short amount of time… After taking so many hits, now it’s my turn!”
Suvenas felt incredibly good right now.
Controlling the War God Golem with spiritual power was completely different from directly possessing it.
At this moment, he felt as if the Golem puppet had become an integral part of his body. He now possessed a Demigod level body and Demigod level strength. And since he was the one controlling the Golem puppet, the War God Golem would become even more agile.
No matter how strong this human in front of him was, he was absolutely no match for him now.
“Die!”
Suvenas roared, his iron fist breaking through the air.
“Whoosh—!”
The punch was incredibly fast, appearing before Xi Wei almost instantaneously, striking him.
With a muffled “bang,” the void shattered under the impact.
Then, a tsunami-like blast of air surged outwards in shockwaves.
Ruo Yi, with quick reflexes, placed her right hand on Lori’s shoulder and whisked Lori away through space and time.
It wasn’t out of fear of the shockwave.
The main reason was that the airwaves generated by the shockwave were filled with foul-smelling Old Ones’ blood and severed limbs. Even though they knew it wouldn’t splash on them, it was still disgusting to have it cover their shields.
With that punch, Suvenas felt he had hit directly and heard the sound of an eggshell breaking. Clearly, the Knight’s shield had been shattered by him. He was very confident that the power of his Legendary-grade punch could absolutely not be resisted; even he would have to temporarily avoid its edge.
Now that this Knight had taken a solid punch, he was probably crippled if not dead.
“Lord! I apologize for my oversight!”
Suvenas sighed to the sky.
“Now I shall atone with the enemy’s soul!”
The War God Golem clasped its hands together and bowed three times towards the direction of the Royal Palace. Although the statue at the altar had been destroyed, there was a similar one inside the Royal Palace that could represent the Lord.
Suvenas believed that the Lord was always watching him.
“What are you muttering to yourself about?”
A crisp voice sounded from behind Suvenas, causing his relaxed body to stiffen abruptly.
He wasn’t dead?!
“Bang!”
Suvenas turned and unleashed a punch.
This time, the War God Golem still registered feedback upon hitting an enemy’s body, but its iron fist could not advance an inch!
“Did you not eat?”
Xi Wei used one finger to block the War God Golem’s fist, which was the size of a city gate. It trembled slightly, and the whistling fist wind made Xi Wei’s crimson cloak flutter wildly behind him.
Behind his helmet, Xi Wei’s lips curved slightly, his gaze disdainful.
Behind him, Lori and Ruo Yi floated in mid-air, their hands slightly open. One gold and one silver divine light bands floated from their chests, connecting to his body.
Within him, three kinds of Divinity surged with violent power. Every blood vessel, every cell, roared ferociously, letting out beast-like growls.
“Hoo!”
Xi Wei suddenly tightened his arm. A blast of air erupted from his pitch-black armor, and the ten-thousand-ton War God Golem was lifted with a single hand.
“Originally, I was going to hack you for a while longer as you continued your cell division, but since you’ve given up now… then…”
His tone was calm, but it made Suvenas’s heartstrings tighten.
Beneath the ferocious helmet, he saw a hint of evil crimson light emanating from the Knight’s pair of sapphire eyes.
“Die—!”
He swung the King of Conquest Long Sword with his right hand.
The phantom of the God of Death reappeared, but this time it was behind Suvenas. The enormous black scythe passed through him, severing the lifeline wrapped in layers of flesh and metal armor.
