I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

It's worth mentioning that although the Black Prince displayed incredible speed, he didn't abandon Hades as he had previously thought—he probably knew that no matter who abandoned whom today, the one who remained would surely fare better.

"I should have called the Wolf King to come along—no, I should have tried to contact the Queen of that demon cave, and all the Godslayers could have attacked her together!"

The Black Prince, transformed into lightning, maintained his high-speed thinking even at lightning speed. His voice fell intermittently from the sky: "John Pluto! Quickly control your magic bullets!"

"I'm sorry, I can't do it." Hades pressed one hand to the ground, continuously increasing the intensity of the earthquake. The entire city ruins, along with the land, were falling downwards. "Donghuang seems to possess lunar powers that are more ancient than mine. In other words, my magic bullets have been taken away by him."

"This proves that the Eastern Emperor does indeed possess the power to strip away authority."

Hades' voice was no longer as relaxed as before, but carried a resolute tone: "Now we are locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Eastern Emperor. All we can do is fight to the death."

He intends to completely shatter Changshan City, using it as a cover to summon the invisible demon god Tiamat, who is lurking underground, to meet them. He will then activate his other power, the Lord of Elves, and head to the Netherworld.

The Eastern Emperor seems to have some kind of taboo; he cannot enter the Netherworld, so that is their escape route... or rather, their chance to turn defeat into victory.

However, this power, which was usurped from the Fairy King Oberon, allows the holder to freely travel to and from the Netherworld and command its inhabitants, but it requires extreme concentration; in other words, it requires a relatively safe environment.

Only the Black Prince's Speed ​​Force could provide him with this opportunity.

This shows that the Black Prince's so-called amazing wisdom was mostly used for scheming, while in terms of combat wisdom, he was far inferior to John Prutto by several Tonys.

"Take care of your magic bullet first!"

The Black Prince, enraged, halted in mid-air, suddenly emerging from his lightning form. He summoned the three invisible Nemesis once more, creating a vengeance domain to prevent a sneak attack, while simultaneously pressing his right palm towards the pale moonlight.

A jet-black sphere emerged from the palm of the hand, spinning with unparalleled attraction and pressure, causing the Moonlight Magic Bullet to deflect.

"Behemoth, Bahamut, Behemoth!"

"Your tail is as straight as a cedar, your body as firm as a rock, your bones as indestructible as steel. For you are a king of desire, an emperor of the earth made of clay—"

Before the Black Prince could finish speaking, Veleslana drew his golden sword again, but this time it was different from before.

A magnificent white horse galloped from the eastern sky, and the sun's rays shone brightly from the sky, exposing the fields, which were already nearing dusk, to the scorching heat of midday.

"For victory, come quickly before me—O undying sun, grant me a radiant steed. My wondrous steed, swiftly bring forth the halo of your lord!"

Power - The White Horse of Ten Incarnations!

This power can even briefly bring back the sun that has already set, but its use is subject to extremely strict restrictions—the target must be a major criminal who has harmed the people.

Along with the white horse came countless tiny, faint calls—the calls of the residents who had been fortunate enough to be relocated and escaped the disaster.

They witnessed this human tragedy and were therefore all praying for their emperor's triumphant return.

"I am willing to dedicate this body to the great and supreme emperor!"

"...Like frost sweeping away trees, like uprooting mountains to crush eggs. Fire rags and winds sweep away, the Rong and Xia are united, the virtue of one person is due to the merit of your five weapons!"

May the Eastern Emperor live a thousand years!

And what followed was lightning, which descended from the clouds following the white horse, and this lightning formed an angry ram.

Power - Ten Incarnations of the Goat!

Vereslana is the protector of the people, and therefore, when he and the people are of one mind, he can gather the voices of the people and summon the goat that controls thunder.

"Lightning! Lightning! Lightning!"

"I am the one who can defeat a thousand with a hundred, ten thousand with a thousand, and tens of thousands with tens of thousands! Now, please grant me divine power and shine brightly for me who stands on the side of justice!"

At the same time, Vereslana leaped high into the air, transforming into a phoenix engulfed in flames, resembling a shooting star.

Power - The Phoenix in Ten Incarnations!

Its effect is that it becomes faster when encountering high speeds, and can be even faster than them when facing high-speed situations!

"how dare you--"

The Black Prince roared furiously, "Queen the Faceless!"

In that instant, something that had been sleeping in the shadows opened its eyes. It was the faceless, two-tailed mermaid, the goddess "Merusin," a half-human, half-snake born from myths and legends!

Then the sea suddenly surged from the ground, burying the ruins of the city, while the ocean's torrents flowed upstream, rushing like a waterfall towards the white horse summoned by Vereslana.

But the white horse and the ram vanished like phantoms.

The brilliant sun, the thunder and lightning, the cries of the people, and the phoenix speed that clung to him all poured into the short sword in his hand.

"You! A god who has rebelled against the right path!"

The Black Prince waved his staff, commanding Melusin to thrust her water spear at the disobedient god who was so close at hand.

"wrong."

Vereslana seemed completely disregarding the severe wound in his chest, and resolutely thrust out the dagger.

"I am not a god who does not obey; I am one who serves the sun and stands on either side of the gate!"

The golden dagger seemed to have melted, or perhaps it had been reforged, radiating a blazing light.

Forward, forward, forward!

384. So there's only one answer...

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

The Black Prince's furious eyes revealed a strong sense of accusation.

But Vereslana, falling from the sky, had already given his own answer.

I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of dying meaninglessly, dying without purpose, dying like a clown.

He was a dignified war god, the protector of all people, an unparalleled warrior, and a pioneer who served the sun. Therefore, he could not die by fate, nor by being a frivolous madman indulging in beauty, nor by a joke-like conspiracy.

So he will draw his sword, no matter what stands in his way.

The golden sword continued its advance, no longer manifesting thousands of blades that rained down like a storm, but instead concentrating all its power into a single strike.

If there's a mountain ahead, cleave it open; if there's a river ahead, cut it off; if there's earth ahead, pierce through it; if there's sky ahead, set it ablaze!

Through the underworld and the present world, through the chaotic history, burn away all sins!

The flames of the vengeful domain rose from Vereslana's fingertips, gradually climbing up his arm, yet he laughed heartily as if he felt no pain whatsoever:

"Now, reap the bitter fruits of your actions, you black prince Alexander Gascoigne, you god-slaying demon king!"

"No, no no no no no no no no—"

A sword wound that ran from front to back spread across the Black Prince's chest. What panicked him even more was that the power he used to control the Moonlight Magic Bullet had disappeared, and all the power within his body was out of control.

The power within the golden sword contained the multiple incarnations of Veleslana, not only disrupting the lightning of his incarnations but also constantly interfering with his other spells, like a huge void that tore away every last bit of power from his body.

"Well done, Wei."

Li Lin's voice rang out in front of the Black Prince, and then a purple light gate opened, from which Li Lin, with deer antlers and draped in clouds, stepped out and placed his long-awaited hand on the Black Prince's pleading face.

"Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor—"

“The kingdom of heaven is near; repent.”

Li Lin's voice was like a distant bell, striking the Black Prince's heart again and again.

"Who will show you, brood of vipers, to flee from the wrath to come?"

With a deafening roar, Hades transformed into black flames that shot up from the ground, but was tightly entangled by the crazed Sword King. The sword energy of dusk, like a cross piercing the heavens and earth, pinned Hades to the spot, unable to come to his aid. He could only watch helplessly as Li Lin's five fingers gradually closed and clenched.

“So then you shall bear fruit in keeping with your repentance.”

Iron and fire ignited between Li Lin's five fingers, and the golden-purple clouds boiled for a moment, while the scent of hawthorn blossoms overwhelmed all the senses.

The words were so familiar that they could be recited backwards, yet they instilled an uncontrollable panic in the hearts of the Black Prince and Hades.

Are we sinners after all?

In that instant, the world lost all color in Li Lin's eyes, but the Black Prince before him still had five different colors on his body.

Color exists only where there is light, and this light is called power.

Transformation through innovation, and breakthroughs through innovation!

Li Lin's hand reached deep into the Black Prince's brain, effortlessly extracting four of the colors.

The moment the power was extracted, the gray world was quickly stained with other colors, as if it were about to return to the normal world.

"No, no, no!"

Alexander's body trembled, and he roared in agony, unleashing devastating lightning with all his might, like a fish struggling in its death throes.

Li Lin retreated and disappeared into the portal, while the exhausted Alexander fell from the sky.

John Pluto, who was locked in a deadly battle with the King of Swords, was startled. Then he saw a portal open to his side, from which Li Lin stepped out. His deep purple hand, seemingly unafraid of the flames, pressed against his body.

The instant his palm pierced the flame, Hades John Pluto's face resembled a piece of shattered ceramic.

He finally understood why Alexander was so insane—any god-slayer would fall into this kind of fear when they feel their power draining from their body.

"go!"

A black lightning bolt streaked across the sky, vanishing instantly along with flames.

The earthquake had stopped abruptly at some point, and even the lake that had swallowed the ruins had returned to calm.

Li Lin stopped the Sword King from chasing after them.

"Why don't we press our advantage?" Tony frowned in dissatisfaction. "We clearly have the upper hand, don't we?"
