Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 624 The Collapse of Chaos

"what!"

Mastert's pupils dilated violently, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of alarm.

He wasn't sure if he had seen correctly, and he racked his brains but couldn't figure out what kind of holy art could dispel his authority, which was at the V-rank!

His expression was extremely ferocious, and the Chaos Demon Sword and Scepter he gripped tightly in his hands emitted an even deeper and more intense surge of chaotic light, in an attempt to maintain the domain effect of the [Crow of Chaos].

But in Mastert's eyes, he saw that the "Archbishop" Rosh Carlos was enveloped by a dense, blood-red golden light. When the domain of the [Cyclone Crown] touched that golden light, it collapsed and dissipated, unable to advance any further!
"..."

"impossible……"

Mastert's pupils trembled, and he murmured with a slight tremor at the corners of his mouth.

Despite being the strongest "Pillar of Darkness," Mastert felt a strange fear.

It wasn't out of submission to power, but rather a deep-seated desire to escape from the incomprehensible phenomena.

……

Opposite to Mastert.

A dense, golden-blood-like ball of light condensed in Luo Xiu's palm, but it had completely dissipated by now—it was not actually the holy art of [Radiance], but a skill from another destiny path.

—That is the "raging torrent of blood river" from the fate of the [Abyss]!
It is a special skill that is obtained by advancing to the "Styx Apostle" in the [Abyss] destiny path!
Its effect is to cover, transform, or destroy the external realm, allowing the "raging torrents of the blood river" to dominate the space.

The reason why Luo Xiu can use this [Abyss] skill in this situation is because he made preparations long ago.

The [Abyss] Fate Skill, "Shadow of Divine Radiance," allows you to use the [Abyss] Fate Skill by praying with the sacred chant of [Radiance]. The skill effect remains unchanged, but it will now have the [Radiance] attribute!
—The raging torrent of blood, combined with the authority [Radiant Seal] which is released a second time through the specialty "Holy Authority of the Sun", is sufficient to deal with the [Crow of Chaos] domain unleashed by Mastert.

This was also a tactic that Luo Xiu had prepared long ago to deal with "Chaos Crown" Mastert!

Luo Xiu, who possesses memories of his past life, has a considerable understanding of Mastert's abilities, given that he is the truly "strongest" black pillar.

—It could even be said that Mastert is the "Pillar of Darkness" that Luo Xiu knows best.

In the final battle of the "Judgment War" version 1.0 of the previous game "God's Destiny", "Chaos Crown" Mastert did not die. On the battlefield of the final battle, he killed two "Sevenfold Destiny" Saints of the Empire and then withdrew, and was even active until version 4.0.

Mastert was thus known as the "Legendary Endurance King" by players—he was frequently in the public eye afterward, and the faction he belonged to changed several times.

After the fall of the Dark Kingdom, version 2.0, "Crimson Tide," arrived. The Oni race crossed the Sea of ​​Mist to invade the continent of Fanor, and Mastert joined the ranks of "Crimson King" Azagus.
Afterwards, with the arrival of version 3.0 "Upside Down Abyss", he made a pact with a "Primordial Demon" and joined the "Sevenfold Abyss". Until version 4.0 "Rebirth of the Gods", he even joined the ranks of a resurrected Old God.

Therefore, the players' confrontation with Mastert is a long one—Luo Xiu also has quite a few memories of directly facing this "Crow of Chaos" Mastert in battle.

In his previous life, it wasn't until the arrival of the "Resurrection of the Gods" update in version 4.0 that Masterstat finally died under the combined attack of the top-tier players who were already at the "Sixfold Fate" level. Luo Xiu also participated in the final battle against Masterstat. Although he didn't land the final blow, he still contributed the highest damage output against Masterstat.

— By placing these memories of the battle against "Chaos Crown" Mastert from his previous life into the present, Luo Xiu can clearly understand Mastert's weaknesses even though he has never actually fought against him in this life, and thus take various measures to target him!
at this time,

As Mastert's [Crowning Crown] domain was partially dissolved by Luo Xiu's [Raging Blood River], an unprecedentedly intense crimson burst forth from the scepter in Luo Xiu's hand!
--boom!!!!!!!

The long-accumulated "ancient dragon's malevolent aura," along with dozens of holy magical lights that had already been prayed for, suddenly erupted towards Mastert!
Like a blazing arrow piercing the dark sky, the "raging torrent of blood" shattered the "Crow of Chaos" domain it encountered on its path, and with no hindrance, it violently slammed into Mastert's body!
—BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!
A series of terrifying roars resounded, and before Mastert could make an effective response, a surge of crimson and golden light had already enveloped him.

Following this came the terrifying surge of power from behind Masterst, the "demon" Quesanx, and from the surrounding angels, all rushing towards Masterst.

These terrifying, world-destroying bombardments were concentrated on Mastert, the "Crown of Chaos." Luo Xiu was directing this torrential barrage while simultaneously monitoring Mastert's real-time condition.

Mastert possesses damage resistance almost comparable to that of a "demigod".

Under such intense bombardment, Mastert's visible health only dropped by half, and he quickly recovered most of the lost health.

As the bombardment against him reached its climax, an unprecedentedly intense spiritual fluctuation erupted from the center of the surging blaze!

Buzz! ! ! ! !
All external spirituality was shaken outwards by this intense spiritual fluctuation.
What appears within the light and mist is the "Crown of Chaos," Mastert, in a completely new form—

His entire body turned pitch black, and chaotic light swirled around him like a hurricane; a giant black crown condensed on his head, and black fire burned like a torch within the crown.

His aura became much darker and more oppressive. In Luo Xiu's most direct perception, the current "Crow of Chaos" Mastert seemed like a "black hole".

That was his true "chaotic" form—Luo Xiu had also "seen" Mastert in this form. In this form, Mastert's strength would be terrifyingly enhanced, and he would possess the ability to shatter and nullify spirituality, just like the Black Grand Duke's "Divine Spine Sword."

But at the same time, it will continue to burn itself, obliterating consciousness, until both body and consciousness are burned away by the power of "chaos".

The fact that Mastert had willingly revealed this "chaotic" form meant that he had indeed been driven into a corner. Luo Xiu had anticipated this; he watched Mastert intently while simultaneously channeling the spiritual energy of [Radiance] to strengthen himself and maintain his suppression of Mastert.

However, at this moment, the remaining time under the blessing of the "Pilgrimage to Heaven" and the "Incarnation of the Holy Wings" form is running out.

Without the blessing of the "Pilgrimage to Heaven," and relying solely on the "Avatar of the Holy Wings," Luo Xiu knew he was not yet capable of completely confronting Masterat in his "Chaos" form alone.

Even so, the advantage is still in their hands. Due to the high-level combatants such as Quesanx and Franya, they still have a combat advantage over Mastert!

……

"..."

When Mastert, the "Crown of Chaos," completely surrendered himself to "Chaos," all the spiritual light surging towards him around him ceased to flow.

But Mastert made no further moves. He hovered high in the sky, gazing through the layers of light and mist at the opposite side, at the "Archbishop" Roshu Carlos.

"..."

"I'll remember you..."

Mastert murmured.

He had indeed recorded the image of the "Archbishop" Luo Xiu, now with ten wings on his back, in its entirety. A vague intuition lingered in his mind that Luo Xiu would definitely become his greatest enemy in the future. Mastert didn't know how long Luo Xiu could maintain that divine form, transformed into an "angel."

What Mastert knew was that even if he revealed his "chaotic" form, as long as Luo Xiu remained in his angelic form, he would not be able to kill Luo Xiu, and at most, he could only regain some advantages.

This is not the result Mastert wanted.

He was still staring at Luo Xiu, while at the same time, he felt the spirituality of the terrifying dragon behind him and the dozens of angels around him surging up like a bone-deep infection.

Mastert bowed slightly, looking down at the earth—

Another "Pillar of Darkness," "Blood Crown Venerable" Bogula, has been besieged to the brink of death by the Empire's three "Sevenfold Fate" Saints, who have also turned their gaze to the sky.

Meanwhile, the combat power he originally wanted to unleash, "Skull Incarnation" Batel, was firmly suppressed within the domain of the [Unforgivable Holy Manifestation] authority maintained by "Saintess" Franya. Even though Batel struggled desperately, his face filled with ferocity and hatred, he could not break free from the cage that had been specially created for him.

"..."

Watching these scenes unfold.

Mastert already knew that the tide had turned against him.

He could already see the inevitable destruction of the Dark Duchy after this battle—in that case, there was no need to stay in this agonizing furnace any longer.

Thinking of this.

Behind Masterstaff, the "Crown of Chaos," suddenly unfurled the wings of chaos—and without looking back, he charged to one side, into the blockade of the angels!
"--roar!!!!!"

At the same time, behind Mastert, the dragon Quesanx roared deafeningly and flapped its giant wings, flying off in the direction Mastert had fled.

Crimson light surged and blazing dragon lightning blasted towards Mastert's back one after another, while the angels blocking his way also unleashed a barrage of holy spells at Mastert. However, all these surging spiritual forces crumbled the moment they approached Mastert!
——Boom! ——Boom!

Almost instantly, the Chaos Sword in Mastert's hand had already cut the three angels who were blocking his way into six pieces!

They turned into fragments of light and dissipated in the air, returning to the Hall of Heroes in the "Eternal Kingdom"—while Mastert had already broken through the blockade at the same time, like a chaotic black meteor, plunging towards the edge of the battlefield!
Nothing can catch up with him.

The chaotic black figure rapidly shrank to a single point in the sky. Soon, it disappeared into the overlapping clouds and vanished from sight.

……

"The Crown of Chaos," Mastert, has escaped!
Luo Xiu watched as the black meteor streaked across the sky to its finish line, and Mastert, just like in his previous life, fled the battlefield.

Unlike his previous life, he played almost no role in the final battle—neither killing any of the Empire's seventh-level Saints nor freeing the "Skull Incarnation" Batel!

He escaped just like that—but that was exactly what Luo Xiu wanted to see. To be honest, if Mastert had continued to fight him, once the [Pilgrimage to Heaven] state ended, Mastert might have actually posed a threat to him.

Furthermore, at this stage, I do not yet have the means to suppress or even kill Mastert.

The best outcome is that Mastert escapes. Whether it's for deterrence or some other reason, there is no other "Seven Fates" force on the battlefield of the "final battle" that can pose a threat like Mastert!

"..."

Luo Xiu knew clearly what he should do next—the best time to maximize the rewards of the special mission [Judgment Day of Dark Omen] was before the final battle between the "demigods" came to an end.

As he thought about these things, a subtle smile appeared on Luo Xiu's lips.

At the same time, behind him, the ten holy wings radiating brilliant light began to dissipate from their tips. The [Pilgrimage to Heaven] state had ended, and Luo Xiu had returned to the side of "Saintess" Franya.

At the same time, he saw Franya focused on performing a sacred prayer, a prayer for the "Third Manifestation" of the authority [Unforgivable Manifestation] to unfold!

“I will honor you.”

Franya prayed solemnly and devoutly.

"My soul, my spirit, and my psychic knowledge."

"Dedicate it all to the celestial chariot, dedicate it all to the seven luminaries;"

"To offer up the supreme, radiant brilliance."

"This is eternal light, an unfailing destiny;"

"This is the eternal, everlasting sun."

"Give me holiness, give me sublimity, give me divinity."

“I will rise from ignorance.”

"The power bestowed by God is entirely mine—"

"I will act on behalf of the divine decree and the divine pardon!"

—Buzz!!!!

In the midst of Franya's intensified sacred prayer,
The sacred chants blessed by the Sanskrit sound caused the seven-fold overturned holy ring of the "Unforgivable Manifestation" that suppressed the "Skull Seat Incarnation" Batel to begin to ignite with blazing, dazzling flames on all the blazing and bright light patterns on its outline!
—The third manifestation of the Unforgivable Manifestation is now complete!

And finally, after completing the perfect unfolding of the "Third Holy Manifestation," Franya was able to break free from the bondage to the "Unforgivable Holy Manifestation" and move freely.

She immediately flew towards another battlefield, where the "Holy Crown" Pope Lord of the House was engaged in a fierce battle with the "Matriarch of Delusion," Arivia, who had already appeared.
