Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2849 Why not open the star gate?
The sky above a seaside port town was covered by thick, inky thunderclouds.

A deafening roar echoed through the sky.

Blinding flashes of lightning flickered like raging silver snakes in the clouds.

The originally dim and oppressive light was turned deathly white.

The sea below was now a scene of utter devastation.

One after another, finely crafted wooden warships drifted helplessly on the waves.

The remains and carcasses of monstrous sea monsters were scattered all around them.

Large patches of scarlet blood stained the sea a shocking dark red.

Looking further afield at the port of Rogge, the scene was even more horrific.

The ground was covered with black charred marks left by the high temperature, and the skeletal remains were charred and twisted in shape.

It silently tells the story of a brutal massacre that just took place here.

In this apocalyptic scene.

In the sky.

A dark figure appeared under the gazes of those present, some shocked, some worried.

They rushed toward the enormous, suffocating thundercloud giant with the outline of eyes, nose, and face.

That was a black-clad swordsman wielding a rough greatsword!

The figure he rode was a terrifying monster exuding a horrifying aura.

It has the head of a lion and the horn of a bull.

Its forelimbs are those of a lion, and its hind limbs are those of a bull.

Its entire body is covered in black fur, and its tail is long and thin with a sharp barb at the end.

It has huge bat wings on its back that it stretches out and flies in the gale.

Those dark pupils with their pale blue sclera radiated a bloodthirsty savagery.

Its wide-open mouth revealed its interlocking, sharp teeth.

It was Guts the Black Swordsman and Zod the Apostle.

These two former mortal enemies have now joined forces for the first time ever.

Zod, carrying Guts, bravely withstood countless lightning bolts head-on, tearing a path through the net of thunder.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, it transformed into a black lightning bolt and pierced through the center of the forehead of the apostle-turned Emperor of Terror!

"Aaaaaahh ...

A piercing scream echoed throughout the arena. The enormous thundercloud giant, accompanied by its ever-expanding hole in its forehead, rapidly collapsed until it dissipated into clouds and lightning that filled the sky.

at the same time.

In the town, on the roof of a dilapidated church that no one had noticed, a deep and majestic hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

"That was quite an interesting sight."

Looking in the direction of the sound.

A figure clad in full black armor stood silently there.

He was wearing a terrifying skull mask helmet.

The area around the eyes shimmered with a ghostly blue light, like will-o'-the-wisps.

Behind him.

A tattered, black cloak fluttered in the wind.

He rode a warhorse that was also covered in heavy armor.

One man and one horse.

Together they form a chilling image of an undead knight.

It was Garcelek, the "Overlord" who had sought revenge against the "Hand of God" for a thousand years.

He withdrew his gaze from the vanishing thunderclouds, his soul fire flickering slightly as he murmured thoughtfully:

"But why haven't Lord Im and the World Government taken any action yet?"

About a month and a half ago.

In the swamps of the Netherworld, he accepted the identity of "Star Disciple" bestowed upon him by the mysterious "Starfish Creator".

And gain more information about the World Government, Starfish Homeworld, and other member worlds.

Those incredible scenes and unimaginable dominance.

This gave him a deeper understanding of both.

In particular, the policy concepts and governance effects of world governments are highly anticipated.

The living environment of the people under his rule was nothing short of paradise.

Galcelik had originally thought that after he became a 'Star Messenger'...

The so-called 'star gate' will appear immediately.

Then, the World Government's forces and powerful figures will flood in like a tidal wave.

With overwhelming force, all evil and heresy were swept away.

To bring peace, hope, and light to this hopeless world.

But to my surprise, there has been no movement at all so far.

This left Garcelik somewhat puzzled, and even caused him to feel a rare sense of anxiety.

Because the current state of the world is arguably the most dangerous situation, facing both internal and external troubles.

The cosmic starry sky above.

The extraterrestrial demon who calls himself the 'God of Nothingness' continues to invade this planet.

Although it was temporarily blocked by the 'Will of the Abyss' and the 'Hand of God'.

But with his extremely high spiritual level, he could clearly sense that it was very difficult to persevere.

Their spiritual energy fluctuations were already somewhat disordered.

The barrier of 'fate' that separates us from the fog of nothingness is also gradually weakening.

Therefore, he temporarily put aside his thoughts of taking the opportunity to betray him.

The situation within the world is equally chaotic.

The key issue is that he always feels that everything is developing in a direction that makes him uneasy, yet he has no idea what will happen.

However, it is certain that everything is related to Griffith, who was reincarnated as the 'Eagle of Light,' and Gnishka, the 'Emperor of Terror,' who was just defeated in his clone.

This is why I have been secretly and closely monitoring their movements.

"What is Lord Im thinking, or is he waiting for something?"

Garcelek lowered his head slightly.

The ghostly blue soul fire in his eye sockets gazed at the distant port.

There, Guts and Zod fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

Gus lay amidst the ruins, his body smoldering, teeth clenched, and covered in burns.

But he still gripped the Dragon Slayer sword tightly in his hand and stared intently at the approaching Apostle Zod.

"how?"

"Didn't you want to settle things with me?"

"Stand up and show me!"

"Watch me tear you apart!"

"If you can't stand up, you won't be able to fight today!"

Guts responded to Zod's repeated provocations with his actions.

He stood up, his body still steaming, supported by the Dragon Slayer Sword.

This scene left Serpego, 'Little Witch' Shrek, Falnasay, Isidoro, Roderick and others who had rushed over speechless.

Although it's not nice to say it like this, they were truly shocked that Guts could still get up alive with such injuries.

Zod was rather pleased with this: "In that case, next time we'll fight to the death, you'd better take good care of yourself then!"

From a distance, Garcelik, who had seen this, brandished his 'Water-Summoning Sword'.

He cut open a dimensional rift in front of him, entered it, and disappeared without a trace.

the other side.

Galcelik longed for a world government.

A high-level military meeting is also being held to discuss matters concerning the Berserk world.

Located in region RL1550 of the Red Earth continent.

Inside the conference room of the Supreme Command of the entire army.

The current Minister Sengoku, the "Chief of Staff" Tsuru, the "Army Headquarters Marshal" Sakazuki, the "Sea Shadow of Uzui Village" Tengen Uzui, the "Chairman of the Otherworldly Strategic Committee" Fernandez, the "Marshal of the Astral Legion" Nikolai Zhekov, and the specially invited "Minister of Religion" Bartholomew Kuma, all gathered together.

The 'Top 100 Competition' that is currently in full swing outside is of great interest to them.

It can only be considered a dispensable entertainment program.

"The information regarding the world codenamed 'Berserk' has been seen by everyone."

The Warring States period had barely finished speaking.

Uzui Tengen asked in confusion, "Why don't you open the 'Star Gate' first so we can send a ninja team to investigate?"

"When to open the 'stargate' is not something we can decide."

"Just prepare beforehand."

The Warring States period answered him calmly.

He then looked at Chairman Fernandez and Marshal Nikolai Dzekov.

"Next, we will determine the Astral Army Group to be dispatched first and the main combat legion to provide support."

"You guys tell me."
