In the Name of Empress

Chapter 707 396: Song of Life (Part 3)

They knew very well that if they couldn't annihilate the Divine Punishment Legion tonight, it would be their death.

Death does not belong to true Light Believers!

The awakened slaves launched a frenzied counterattack, tearing the remaining overseer squads to pieces.

These believers were firm in their faith, and naturally not weak in strength. They had only lost themselves gradually due to brainwashing and control.

Now that they had finally awakened, their combat will and strength were imaginable.

Seeing the surge of awakened believers, Roland felt a chill in his heart.

Wait, awakening halfway is enough, don't fucking awaken completely.

Roland thought of himself as a decaying feudal lord and felt a chill down his spine.

He hurriedly patched things up frantically.

"The ones who represent the Light are praying for you in the Holy City, not in the Divine Domain. After this battle, I will lead you on a pilgrimage!"

Some slaves were moved, while others seemed like light sprinkled into the night, ignoring Roland's words and launching a charge.

The highest cannon tower changed hands, and Erin was pushed back by the surging counterattack believers before she could climb the mountain.

Her face was ashen as she covered the retreat of the Elemental People into the Holy Hall.

She had one last card up her sleeve.

The Goddess's avatar descended.

Although it was just an avatar and was suppressed to the equivalent of Tier Four, a God is still a God, unshakable by mortals.

Reluctantly using her last ace to save herself, Erin was unwilling, but she had no choice.

If Roland liberated all the slaves, just the sheer numbers would be enough to drown the Divine Punishment Legion.

Erin summoned the Ascetics to guard her, and retreated to her main formation, muttering incantations.

At the moment she cast her spell, Lisa transformed into a Firebird and flew overhead.

The scorching Silence Domain descended, interrupting the Holy Light Techniques chanted by the Ascetics around Erin, except Erin herself remained chanting normally.

She sneered at the Firebird with disdain.

This is the Divine Descent Skill, irreversible, uninterruptible.

Even if she herself died, it wouldn't stop.

The Goddess's avatar descended, and just the Divine Power alone could dispel most of the enemies, reversing the slave transformation process.

Mortal killing Gods, dream on!

Tiya's phantom gradually solidified.

In the night sky, a faint Light swept in with unstoppable momentum.

Her features became more distinct, her eyebrows slightly trembling.

Roland had a feeling that once Tiya's avatar descended, the situation would become irreversibly bad.

To break the power, it would take an existence of the same level.

Should he use the ace given by Sofia?

A sapphire Protective Talisman came to his palm, with his palm slightly sweating.

Just as he prepared to crush the talisman, the sound of a tsunami suddenly echoed beside him.

Everyone's attention was drawn by this earth-shattering force of Nature.

This is...

Some were puzzled, but some were excited.

Catherine felt the Three Divine Artifacts she carried leaping for joy.

It's the Sea Emperor, it's him, he's back!

The tsunami formed a gigantic water column, crashing towards Tiya's phantom.

Tiya's avatar slowly opened her eyes, staring intently at the handsome man at the center of the water column.

"Poseidon, after all these years, you still can't let go."

"Bitch Tiya, fuck your mother!"

Perhaps in Tiya's mind, both sides should reminisce a bit and exchange pleasantries before acting, but Poseidon didn't play by the rules and went straight for personal attacks.

Tiya's eyebrows slightly furrowed; such an insult was strong for ordinary mortals but nothing to her who had ascended to the Divine Domain.

The breaking defense index was far less than Roland's words at the Holy Spring Revival Ceremony.

What Tiya couldn't understand more was why the Sea Emperor chose to forcibly awaken.

He could indeed break her avatar, but the cost would be never being able to resurrect.

This was the Sea Emperor's final strike.

Catherine, with tears streaming down her face, cried out, "Your Majesty Sea Emperor, don't!"

The Sea Emperor turned to look at her, a hint of a smile appearing on his fierce face.

He flicked lightly, a azure light falling and embedding into her forehead.

When the Sea Emperor turned back again, he laughed wildly, bidding farewell to this world.

He was going, but Tiya wouldn't get her way either.

The difficult revival race made him understand the final stage didn't belong to him.

Since he had to leave sooner or later, he might as well go out in a blaze of glory.

At last, let him escort the young once more.

The torrential rain poured down.

The Goddess's avatar just condensed and then vanished.

Lightning and thunder rained down, illuminating the entire sky.

On this night, the Sixth Divine Punishment Legion was completely annihilated, Divine Punishment Island was seized by Roland and others, over four hundred thousand Light Believers were liberated, most of whom headed to the Holy City for pilgrimage, while a few abandoned their faith in the Gods and sought truth among mortals.

On this night, countless people wept.

Some wept for death.

Some wept for liberation.

Only Catherine was genuinely heartbroken.

This was the first and last time she saw the Sea Emperor.
