Chapter 261: Eighty-one, then I am your thousands of troops_2

He had never had such an experience before.

Was this the outcome of being caught in the battle of All Gods?

After receiving a portion of Lyra’s divine power, Oliver had always felt that he could be considered a minor demigod; however, when he truly became involved in the struggle between Lyra and the new god, he realized just how naive he was.

The battle between gods, even if they were only two impaired ones, caused aftershocks strong enough to shatter him.

He wanted to extricate himself, but it was already too late.

He temporarily connected with the new god.

He had the power of a god, the vision of a god, and the desires of a god.

The desire for rebirth and eternal life.

Oliver closed his eyes.

That intense desire wildly tore at his nerves, making him groan in extreme agony with sounds that did not resemble those of a human at all.

He could no longer bear it.

No matter what form it took,

He was determined,

to descend.

…

“ROAR!!!!”

The Sky Tower that connected heaven and earth finally fractured and collapsed.

Under everyone’s gaze, a colossal figure emerged from the broken tower.

It looked like a flayed monster, covered only in glaring, vivid blood and flesh.

Then it opened its monstrous mouth as if cut out with scissors, aiming it at the slightly lightened sky.

Then,

“ROAR!!!”

Flames a hundred meters high burst from its enormous mouth, quickly forming a column of fire that seemed capable of piercing through heaven and earth.

The celestial flames ignited the night sky, and the heat wave it stirred up rapidly evaporated dozens of knights and civilians closest to the Sky Tower.

Then people saw streams of fire falling from the sky.

Fire rained down from the heavens.

The flames set Lyra on fire.

At this moment, people finally understood.

What despair meant.

…

“…What is that thing?”

Ina looked dumbfounded at the raging beast beneath the giant flames.

It wasn’t just her; the Devil Knights she had brought along were also wearing faces of surprise.

What exactly was that thing?

Though everyone had an idea in their minds, they still couldn’t believe it was real.

Until today, the most dangerous thing they had encountered was the giant pollutants from the Abyss, but compared to the raging beast before them, those gigantic pollutants seemed like a joke.

That raging beast—they merely looked at it from a distance, and it gave them an intense palpitation, as if they might die the next second from heart rupture.

That raging beast…

No.

Ina tightly gripped the handle of the Blazing Fire Sword, forcefully suppressing the trembling in her body.

It wasn’t some raging beast.

To describe it as a beast was the greatest insult.

Undoubtedly, it was… a god.

Although she didn’t know exactly which one, it was definitely one of them.

It had awoken.

It had awoken at the moment they least wanted to see, the fire rain that seemed to set all of Lyra aflame appeared to vent its anger as well as pave the way for its descent.

Regardless of what it was, this scene, reminiscent of the apocalypse’s arrival, made Ina understand the meaning behind what Gerard once said, “The descent of a god brings great sacrifices.”

“Vice captain,” a Devil Knight asked, “can we still…”

“Advance,” Ina said softly, “we have no choice, don’t forget, every minute we spend here has been bought with lives.”

Actually, there was no need for Ina to remind them; the people here naturally wouldn’t forget their colleagues fighting for time with their lives in the Fifth Zone.

“Advance,” Ina issued the command again, “No matter what that thing is… end it.”

Everyone nodded.

Just as Ina had said, they had no choice, even if there was a sea of fire ahead, they could only charge forward resolutely.

But at that moment, another huge explosion occurred, and then the whole earth shook.

What happened now?!

Before everyone could understand, they saw a part of the Sky Tower, already in ruins, collapse further.

A giant hand, interwoven with flesh and Holy Light, pulled itself out of the debris, grabbed the raging flesh monster that was still spraying fury into the sky, and then slammed it fiercely onto the ground.

Then, they heard an even more intimidating roar, and the entire land shook again, as if the whole city was responding to It.

Then everyone understood Its identity.

Ina murmured,

“Lyra…”

…

“Click.”

Ju wiped the sweat from her forehead and then used her greatest strength to tighten the last screw on Gerard’s steel chest plate.

“There.” she said.

Gerard looked down at his body.

Although it wasn’t in the best condition, given the severe time constraint and the complex situation outside, Ju had done well.

He was very satisfied.

“Thank you.” Gerard stood up, slung the now fully repaired Chainsaw Sword over his shoulder, “You will definitely become an outstanding mechanician.”

Ju kept her head down, not speaking.

It wasn’t until Gerard had made all his preparations and walked to the door that she finally raised her head.

“Why?”

Gerard stopped his action of opening the door.

“Why must you go?” Ju said, “Ina has already said, right? As soon as it gets light, we will leave here, everything here will have nothing to do with you anymore.”

“No, Ju.” Gerard said, “That’s just self-deception, my business…”

He pointed at the somewhat faded Night Star Sleeve Badge on his shoulder.

“hasn’t finished yet.”

Ju lowered her head again.

She wasn’t good at persuading others with words.

She just felt very uncomfortable, as if something was stabbing her in the chest, painfully.

“As for you, Ju.”

“Do you want me to stop taking revenge on Lyra?” Ju asked softly.

“No.” Gerard shook his head, “What I want to say is, do what you want to do.”

Ju lifted her head, looking at Gerard with surprise.

“No one can make decisions for you, because no one has had your experiences,” Gerard looked into Ju’s eyes and said softly, “so no one should forgive on your behalf… not even me.”

Ju opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn’t speak.

“But what I want to say is, before making the final decision, try living a different life, different from the present,” Gerard said gently, “just like my life, I had ten years of hardship, but many more happy days. Don’t be trapped by the past, nor fear the future, this is what I want to tell you, and what your father would also say if he were here.”

Ju felt her eyes beginning to sting.

She unconsciously lifted her head, blinking hard to keep the tears from falling.

But when she looked back down after holding back her tears,

Gerard was gone.

…

Everyone was fleeing.

Flames replaced the rising dawn, igniting the sky, Lyra and Eternal Life clashed amidst the fiery rain, the ancient city crumbled visibly to the naked eye, and people struggling in the sea of flames fell.

“Is it necessary?” Bai Wei’s voice echoed in Gerard’s mind, “Eternal Life has descended in an unnatural form, Lyra is also not as weak as imagined, It will not succeed, even winning will be a pyrrhic victory, nothing more can be done… from a certain perspective, Lyra has been protected, and the sacrifice is entirely within acceptable limits.”

“After everything settles, you will still be the hero of this city.”

“Everything you wanted, you have already obtained, haven’t you?”

“No.” Gerard shook his head, “one last thing is missing.”

“…ha.” Bai Wei laughed lightly, as if in appreciation or mockery, “Indeed your style.”

“Then shall we make a deal?”

“Why would I refuse?” Bai Wei said, “Go ahead.”

“Since you are already intent on dying.”

“Then I shall be your army.”
