LIGHTNOVELWORLD chapter 135
135. Divine Punishment (2)
Saint Ermel looked at the army approaching the god she served.
And slowly opened his mouth.
-The candle flame flickers in the dark night without a ray of light.
The conversation continued.
-It is the only star born on this earth, and it will be the last star.
-All the rule of law and reason in this land moves according to that only star.
-The stars that dared to fall without permission.
-Let nothing be left on this earth and be exterminated.
Yuma took a step forward, leaving behind the saint who had been reciting a short prayer and raising the mythical power of Middle-earth even at this moment, just before the clash occurred.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwa!!
A frightened army rushed into the sacred territory of the war god Yuma, a life-or-death battle.
Bell didn’t like this battlefield.
Angelica’s descendants. In the so-called ＜Legion of Death＞, there was a mixture of beings who were at first glance citizens of this land, the Balcares Empire.
It was also in the form of an undead like a ghoul. The bodies and heads of countless imperial ghouls were piled up like a tower, creating monsters.
Bell felt very reluctant to kill those beings who kept making such miserable sounds that he couldn’t tell whether they were crying or screaming.
Still, there was no way not to kill him.
That’s because it made me even more reluctant.
This is because Ermel said that a person whose life flow has been completely distorted by another god cannot return to its original state even if he uses his divine power.
Ultimately, it relieves the pain. I had no choice but to kill him in order to at least give him rest.
Enemies came rushing in from beyond.
Enemies occupied the mountain ridge.
The one at the forefront was Angelica, the Goddess of Dead Bones, who came riding the serpent of chaos, Ouroboros, in order to survive.
[Lv.621] Angelica
And right next to him on the right was Gulan, ＜the father of all giant soldiers and alchemy＞, accompanied by huge retinues on both sides of him.
[Lv.651] Gulan
Kirrrrrrrrr!
The sound of Ouroboros crying hits my ears.
Someone’s voice followed. It was Angelica’s voice.
“Mushin, is there any great benefit to you by doing something like this? You must have accumulated all the spiritual power you can by now, right?”
That was correct.
Even though it was possible to stock up, it does not lead to elevation to godhood.
Yuma’s godhood threshold had been set to some extent.
However, there are only things you can do with the Godhead you have stored up.
The number of uses of ＜Life and Death Battery＞, which can originally be used only twice within 24 hours, was able to be increased by one more time.
Of course, there was something more important to Yuma than just such use.
The mythical power of Middle-earth rises.
The final goal point at the end of the rise of mythical power.
A goal that the two gods who are now rushing in front of us cannot dare to understand.
Entering the New Territories.
And of the eight evil gods remaining in the divine world, kill the five currently alive.
The goal point was so far beyond the scope of common sense that even God could not understand it.
Gigi Gigi Geek─
Next to Angelica. By moving the golems on both sides of him, he created a golem mechanical device that emits a wide-range air wave forward.
“I will kill you all.”
Gulan, the god of golems, was scared at first.
It’s still hard to believe, but that guy was a god who killed more than five gods.
Gulan, who has the appearance of a giant golden golem, is clearly terrifying at first.
Currently, I was feeling extremely angry.
I wish I was born as a god. I was scared by Yuma, who went from a human to a god. She felt a deep sense of self-destruction at the fact that she felt such obvious fear.
That sense of disparity gave rise to strong anger.
Gulan opened his square mouth and let out a deep voice.
“New station declaration.”
With the intention of killing them all.
“Unlimited pension.”
Starting from the ground Gulan is stepping on.
Something kept rising from the ground.
Huge pillars created by Gulan through alchemy soared up.
Kiiiiiiiing──!
The red light emitted from each of the 100 pillars condensed into a single dot.
A sphere of divine power with destructive power was created at a glance. The sphere scattered intense light as if it had dragged the sun from the sky and brought it down.
Cheesy… !
A drop of red divine power that flowed from the sphere instantly dyed the ground black.
Angelica’s mouth next to Gulan slowly opened.
“New station declaration.”
Long black hair flew back like a fluttering cloak.
“Distortion of paradise.”
A black shadow flowed from underneath the shoes of Angelica, who was wearing an old-fashioned black dress.
Ssssssssseu–!
A black lotus flower bloomed on a vast expanse of ocher-colored ground.
Hwaak─
And the ＜Black Lotus＞, which was the first to bloom under Angelica’s feet, has now bloomed under the feet of all humans standing on this earth.
That is, everyone in Yuma’s group except for Yuma, who is a god and not a human, and the Balcares Empire. The “black lotus” was in full bloom beneath the feet of the people of the empire.
Angelica looked at Yuma and said.
“If you do not withdraw your divine service and life-or-death strategy right now, all the residents of this land, the Balcares Empire, will attack you. The same goes for that last royal brat. Unless you want to kill those humans with your own hands. “
Angelica’s eyes narrowed.
Those sharp eyes glared at Yuma.
“The same goes for the humans you brought in.”
A red light flashed in Angelica’s black eyes.
And the tips of the black lotus petals turned red.
＜Goddess of Dead Bones＞, new translation by Angelica.
The effect of Paradise Distortion (極樂歪曲) was a mind-controlling divine realm that completely took control of the minds of beings within the radius of the divine realm.
The minds of those whose status is significantly lower than that of Angelica, a newcomer, can very easily play on the palms of Angelica’s hands.
Even though he was a god, he couldn’t protect all of his followers.
It was especially difficult to block mental attacks.
But why?
“…Why don’t those b*stards attack you?”
Angelica’s question contained a doubt.
Clearly, the effect of ＜Distortion of Paradise＞ was fully activated.
But, of course, Yuma’s followers, Clone, Bell, and Ermel. Third Prince Ricardo and his subordinates, people of the Balcares Empire. And none of the mercenaries drew their swords at Yuma.
gulp-
Third Prince Ricardo swallowed his saliva.
Angelica’s words did not sound false.
Although it was only for a moment, I clearly felt the sensation of something evil digging into my brain.
That feeling was felt by the people of the empire, including Ricardo. Clone and Ermel also felt that feeling.
But immediately after that, a clear energy spread through my mind, driving away that evil energy.
A low voice came from behind Ricardo.
“I told you that faith will not be betrayed.”
Saint Ermel of the God of War spoke.
Next to her, Hestia, a Miao girl with scarlet cat ears, added a word to Ermel’s words.
“Well then, trust never betrays.”
Hestia nodded loudly and said.
The ‘Paradise Distortion’ cast by Angelica was clearly cast correctly.
However, Yuma’s power was only cast properly.
“……!”
Angelica looked at Yuma with the utmost divine power in her eyes, and trembled as goosebumps ran up her spine.
A huge brilliance that exists behind Yuma’s back.
That gigantic brilliance was as long and numerous as a spider’s web.
Clone and Bell, and Ermel and Hestia.
Also, the Third Prince Ricardo and his direct knight Ragnarc. It stretched out to about 30 mercenaries and 40 soldiers.
Grant blessing—mental barrier
The conditions for granting a blessing were simple.
People who have faith in Yuma.
In other words, it could be granted to all believers.
How did the members of the empire who encountered the war god Yuma for the first time come to have faith in Yuma today?
What was important was that as soon as Saint Ermel appeared, she instantly healed five dying soldiers and mercenaries.
And it was also because Yuma’s divine work gave them a sense of mental stability as they belonged to friendly forces.
A little faith.
This was possible because Yuma was able to recognize him as a ‘believer’ even if he had only the slightest faith in him.
“Hmm, how… I don’t know about apostles, but even laymen can be given the protection of a mental barrier….”
＜Goddess of Dead Bones＞, Angelica could not understand the current situation where her territory was completely blocked. And Angelica’s common sense was right.
However, this was the result of underestimating Yuma’s divine status.
The problem was that Angelica, a first-tier god who had killed at most one god, guessed the divine status of Yuma, who had killed more than five gods.
Quad Deuk─
Angelica felt pain rising from her toes.
“Fuck…fuck!”
Quad deuk!
The feeling of your whole body spinning. A twisting sensation, as if squeezing a wet rag.
＜Sinyeok＞ represents God.
All of the conditions for the divine power that was cast ended up being ineffective. It causes extreme pain, unlike the one that is simply offset by being crushed in a battle of gods.
“Kwaaak!”
Angelica screamed as she saw the fragments of her godhead falling off.
A black air current so pitch-black that it could be called an abyss appeared in both Angelica’s hands.
A very large scythe appeared in Angelica’s hand.
“die…!”
＜The Goddess of Dead Bones＞ completely lost her reason.
“In the end, a lowly god of the middle world cannot enter the god world!”
The pain that weighs on my whole body and mind due to the failure of my divine service.
The fear of the giant white sword still floating above my head mixed with fear made me lose my senses.
“Remove it, do it.”
The voice of Gulan, ＜the father of all giant soldiers and alchemy＞, also rang out from the side.
Kwaaa!
The power that Gulan had gathered through his new work, ＜Infinite Alchemy＞, was fired towards Yuma.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwa!
＜Ouroboros＞, the strongest among Angelica’s family, rushed towards Yuma.
Huge black beings rushed towards Yuma’s body, carrying countless weapons.
About two hundred golems around Gulan rushed toward Yuma.
As the enemies entered the range where Yuma could parry, they rapidly slowed down.
It was the effect of a life-or-death battery.
＜Bullet Time＞
Add bullet time to it.
Slurrrrr…
In a time that has almost stopped.
Only Yuma, fully armed with divine power, was free during that time.
The eyes filled with divine power did not miss a single attack.
Ouroboros’ huge head floated upward.
wink.
Yuma blocks all attacks.
Right after that.
＜Absolute Counterattack＞
An absolute counterattack was carried out.
Ouroboros’ body inflated like a balloon and burst.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
Even though the exploded body was huge, it was too huge. Dark red blood drops shot into the air and poured down like rain.
“Kieaaa
Angelica was torn mercilessly like a piece of paper.
The black army in various forms such as giant knights, giants, bone dragons, etc. burst out.
All the various golems were also broken apart, scattering into brick fragments of tens of thousands of colors.
Teo────Ugh!
Golden Golem.
＜The father of all giant warriors and alchemy＞, Gulan’s head rolled around on the ground.
My body exploded.
The core belonging to the heart had already burst.
The spirit was only present in my head for a moment. Even if left as is, the soul is broken.
“Off, uh….”
Nevertheless, Yuma was definitely planning on putting an end to it.
“U, Uma.”
I ignored the heavy voice coming from inside my head.
Cheoeok.
I lifted my foot.
He then placed it on the head of the golden golem, Gulan.
Yuma filled his voice with divine power.
=The remaining eight gods, five.=
=I have something to tell you.=
Kwaaang!
With golden rock fragments. The red gem that served as the eye was spread widely on the ground.
Gulan’s head was completely crushed.
=Open the door to the divine world.=
=Unless you’re scared.=
These were words delivered to the eight evil gods of the divine world who were looking down.
The 5 minutes are over.
The white sword shape fell on over a hundred monsters who were charging up the mountain ridge, entangled with each other, and were unable to reach Yuma.
Kugugugugugugung—!
I don’t know about God or his family members who are apostles of God. There was no way the remaining beggars could withstand the sword punishment.
All of them flowed in black air currents and fluttered in the air.
The ghouls made from citizens of the empire and the deformed monsters created by twisting several citizens, all of which were created due to Angelica’s nasty taste, were able to escape the curse that continued even after death by the white sword.
Ermel looked at them and bowed his head deeply.
Members of the empire, including the third prince of the empire, Ricardo, approached Yuma.
