Corpse Brother: From Calabash Brothers to Corpse Emperor

The Pope raised his staff high, his entire body bathed in intense golden light. His aged face was contorted with pain, yet he remained as solemn as a god.

"Almighty Lord! I am willing to exchange this humble life for great power—"

Luo Heng's lightning struck down with a roar, but it shattered into fragments in front of the golden shield!

"He's sacrificing his life for power!" Luo Heng shouted sternly. "Everyone! Interrupt him!"

Countless attacks poured down like a torrential rain—sword energy, bullets, and beams of supernatural energy—but they were all blocked by the seemingly thin barrier of holy light!

Above the Pope's head, four enormous illusory Tarot cards slowly rotated, emanating a suffocating pressure.

"Lost sheep..."

The Pope looked down upon all beings with compassion, his voice beginning to resonate with some supreme being, "Let this holy light guide you back..."

Before he finished speaking——

"Pfft!"

The mutilated body of the "half-knight" suddenly sprang forth! The broken sword pierced the Pope's back like a venomous snake!

"Uh-huh...!"

The Holy Light Tarot cards shattered instantly! The Pope staggered around, his trembling hand reaching out to the knight:

"Child...child...why...?"

The knight's head suddenly twisted 180 degrees, his mouth torn all the way to his ear:

"I'm not your child!"

A fleshy worm covered in suckers crawled out of its throat, emitting a sharp laugh:

"Is your paladin really that cute? Hahaha!"

As the broken sword was drawn, the Pope fell to his knees like a puppet with its strings cut, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The crowd indifferently stepped over the Pope's fallen body and gathered before the gates of hell.

Luo Heng took the blood-stained papal staff from the terrifying glutton and raised it high to the sky—

"Om-!"

A dazzling beam of light descended from the sky, outlining a complex teleportation array before the Gates of Hell.

The array patterns coiled around the giant gate like chains, forming a rotating vortex on the demon relief in the left eye of the gate.

"A one-way teleportation array, leading to the Hell Cage," Luo Heng said coldly. "The Gates of Hell must be opened from the inside... Now, it's time to end this."

He reached his hand into the beam of light, and his body instantly disintegrated into countless particles of light, rushing towards the left eye vortex on the door like a meteor.

The others followed closely behind, transforming into beams of light and disappearing into it.

Oni-girou from Japan stood at the edge of the formation, his eyes slightly narrowed, his heart filled with intense struggle—

Legend has it that the Gates of Hell hold the secret to breaking through to SSS rank...

Reaching the Divine Realm is too difficult... Perhaps, this is his only chance!

He gritted his teeth and leaped into the teleportation array!

"I'll stake my samurai code on it—!"

Shen Wuji rushed to the Pope's side, picked him up, and shook him violently:

"Your Holiness! Wake up! They've all entered the gates of Hell!"

The Pope, shaken so badly he foamed at the mouth, weakly raised his hand: "Stop...stop shaking me...I'm not quite dead yet..."

He pointed with difficulty at the teleportation array, "Quick... turn it off..."

Shen Wuji rushed towards the formation, took down the staff, and the pillar of light finally dissipated.

The Pope let out a long sigh, leaning against the ruins, panting: "The gates of hell... require the heart of an archangel to open... they won't get out so easily..."

Camilla stood atop the giant bat, her crimson eyes fixed on the closing gates of hell, a cold smile playing on her lips.

Supernatural abilities cannot be used inside the Gates of Hell. All races of the Dark Council would suffer bloodline suppression after entering, losing only one-tenth of their strength, which is why she did not go in.

Only powerful humans or outcasts like Mr. Long and Xiao Heng can help them open the gates of hell...

A sudden roar came from afar, and Camilla looked up sharply, her pupils shrinking.

"What is that?! Human reinforcements have arrived?"

The American battleship USS Titan tore through the clouds, its massive, steel hull casting a deathly shadow. The bow's enormous cannons slowly opened, like the gaping maw of an abyss.

"K46TWY tracking missile - all missiles launched!"

"Whoosh whoosh-!"

Thousands of miniature missiles rained down like a swarm of bees, each flashing an eerie blue light.

The coward and the mechanical ghost police were immediately overjoyed, a hint of surprise flashing in the coward's eyes:

"Great! Our divine ship has arrived! Hahaha~ To hell with all those damn alien races! This thing actually sailed all the way from the United States to here!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the mechanical ghost policeman:

"Haha! Although the US has stolen a lot of core American technology, compared to our divine warships... it's just a pile of shit!"

The giant warhorse immediately turned to look at the American imperialists, awaiting their commands:

"My lord, the warships have appeared!"

The members of the underground Dark Council and the Black Line of Fire were shocked to see the dense array of missiles in mid-air.

A masked man sneered and raised his hand, black mist condensing into a vortex-shaped shield. He spoke disdainfully:

"Hahaha, humans aren't very bright... No matter how many firearms we bring, it's useless! Dark Mist Shield!"

The missile swarm came to an abrupt halt the moment it struck the black mist, but the warhead suddenly split open, firing out a nanometer-sized piercing needle! It pierced directly through the shield and into the masked man's heart.

"Oh, a powerful needle was fired from inside the missile?"

The masked man's body turned into mist and dissipated, and his voice came from within the black mist.

"It's no use. Inside my magic mist shield, my body is in a misty form, so no attack can touch me!"

The puncture needle suddenly erupted with extremely high-frequency vibrations, and the black mist was actually shaken back into human form!

Even more terrifying is that the needle tip releases a miniature gravitational field, frantically extracting the atomized energy!

"Ahhh! This is... an antimatter extractor?!"

The masked man screamed as he returned to his physical form, his chest riddled with honeycomb-like holes!

Faced with the incoming missiles, the red-eyed wizard of the Dark Council immediately spread his arms wide:

"Darkness Invades!"

Countless black rays shot from his hands toward the missiles, then he looked at the crowd beside him:

"Detonate all of these missiles immediately!"

The moment the red-eyed wizard's dark magic beam struck the missile swarm, a violent explosion resounded across the battlefield.

However, after the flames subsided, although the outer shells of those missiles were shattered, their interiors revealed a dense array of silver spikes!

"Oh no! These missiles are just carriers!" The red-eyed wizard's pupils shrank sharply, but it was too late.

"Whoosh whoosh-!"

Countless spikes shot out like a torrential rain, instantly piercing through his body.

Even more terrifying, after these spikes pierced his flesh, they began to frantically draw out the dark energy from his body!

"Ahhhh——!"

The red-eyed wizard's body withered away at a visible rate, eventually turning into a skeleton.

On the battlefield, members of both the Dark Council and the Black Line suffered annihilation.

The werewolf leader was pinned to the ground by spikes, his violent muscles rapidly atrophied, and he eventually reverted to his normal human form.

……

Camilla's expression changed instantly, and a powerful sonic wave echoed in everyone's ears:

"Retreat! Retreat! Our objective has been achieved! Everyone retreat!"

On a distant cliff, coward Jack swirled his wine glass and sneered:

"This is the true power of the Earth's overlord! These needles are the latest weapons for dealing with super-strong individuals! This material can absorb all energy; it's a top-secret weapon of the United States!"
