Chapter 574: Gathering the Power of the Gods, the Traitors
"I don't want to say? Then I'll force you to use it!"
Lu Ce was dissatisfied with the other party's answer and immediately took action, hurling his battle axe forward!
After cursing verbally, he completely ignored how the opponent might counter his attack and didn't even bother retrieving his Extreme Path Battle Axe.
He simply raised his hand and pressed the Fatal Chain on his wrist directly!
Boom!
In the distance, without needing the Death Messenger to act, the Candle Dragon beneath her forcefully swung its tail, crashing into the incoming giant axe!
Amid the tremendous explosion, the Candle Dragon's tail directly shattered, transforming into gray mist in the air that scattered in all directions!
From the perspective of life hierarchy, it couldn't withstand such an attack, even though its power was clearly among the strongest of the Hell Envoys.
However, the might of the Broken Divine Weapon forced the Death Messenger to intervene despite her reluctance.
Just as she was about to act, her entire body suddenly froze.A bracelet abruptly appeared on her wrist, materializing so suddenly that it seemed she had never noticed it before.
Simultaneously, a slot machine-like pattern appeared above her head, with three symbols rapidly spinning as if rolling dice.
The axe arrived before her eyes in the blink of an eye, and the Death Messenger made the most correct choice of this entire game.
—Instinctively dodging by tilting her head!
The next second, terrifying lightning strikes instantly descended, blue-purple electricity crackling across her body!
The intense paralysis sensation temporarily robbed her of movement capability.
The axe whistled past her, the powerful air current causing half of her hair to fly wildly in its wake.
She looked toward "Sin" with some astonishment, only to discover that blue-purple electrical light was also madly flashing across his body.
Above his head, two of the three slot machine patterns showed blue lightning bolts, while the third displayed an unfamiliar skull symbol.
What does this mean!?
Suddenly she remembered that when she entered the subspace earlier, something seemed to have been thrown toward her.
At the time she thought it was some kind of attack, and since no follow-up effects occurred, she hadn't paid much attention.
Now it seemed... this thing must be a very powerful Sequence Item!
Tch, the intelligence reports didn't seem to contain any description of this thing.
"The power of [War]!?"
Looking at distant "Sin," she spoke with surprise.
Lu Ce glanced at the Manic Chain on his wrist and the numbers above the opponent's head, simultaneously hearing the sound of his Agony Value increasing by one in his mind.
Using this thing actually increases Agony Value?
However, this item didn't seem to be obtained during that game with [Judgment] and [War].
The thrown axe began whistling back through the air! At the same time, Lu Ce pressed the bracelet again while charging toward the Death Messenger.
From an external perspective, it appeared as if he and the Extreme Path Battle Axe were charging toward the opponent from front and rear simultaneously.
Ding ding dong~
The slot machine sound above her head annoyed her somewhat—this kind of forced judgment unrelated to actual strength was what Divine Messengers like her hated most.
But now, "Sin" had already arrived before her, so she could only focus on the immediate threat.
Boom!
Scythe and giant axe collided instantly, and even from their shapes alone, one could tell which weapon would be at a disadvantage.
The Extreme Path Battle Axe was thrown high by the recoil force, but the scythe formed from Death Energy before them instantly shattered!
The Death Messenger looked at the Extreme Path Battle Axe before her, envy evident in her eyes.
A Divine Weapon... this guy is just too lucky.
Ding!
At this moment, the Manic Chain's lottery concluded, and the slot machines above both Lu Ce and the Death Messenger's heads settled on a new combination.
Two thorns, one moon.
Rip!
A harsh tearing sound simultaneously erupted from both their bodies as black thorns instantly burst forth from within them, piercing through their flesh.
"Cough!"
The Death Messenger's pupils widened with shock as she forcefully coughed up a large mouthful of blood, looking at her own body with disbelief.
The suddenly appearing thing was simply too brutal.
Similarly, the "Sin" before her was in roughly the same condition, his entire body already pierced through like a sieve by these thorns.
His golden battle attire was covered with black spikes.
[Chosen of Agony, Agony Value +5!]
Both of them suffered nearly equivalent severe injuries from this single strike!
But looking at that golden mask, there seemed to be no expression whatsoever, as if that wasn't his body at all!
Why... when my body was artificially created, how can he be so indifferent?!
"You..."
Facing this mask, she found herself at a loss for words, and moreover...
Those thorns just now clearly had nothing to do with [War]!
Could this bracelet of his be gathering the power of multiple gods?!
"Already can't handle it?!" Pride shook his head disappointedly, raising the giant axe with one hand while giving his other wrist a sharp shake.
Ding ding dong~
The slot machine sound rang out again.
Crack!
The Death Messenger's attitude was extremely decisive this time, instantly severing her own hand!
The Manic Chain fell from the severed wrist, then flew back to charge toward the Death Messenger once more.
Pride now displayed an utterly unreasonable side—even though he himself was severely injured, he showed no intention of easing up, as if competing with the Death Messenger to see who would last longer.
The Manic Chain actually managed to clasp onto her other hand!
Death Messenger:!?
At this moment, the Saints and Demons had already engaged in full-scale battle. While the slot machines were randomly selecting, suddenly Jiang Yuan, who was fighting Sun nearby, shouted:
"Saint Lord!"
Lu Ce slightly raised his head—under normal circumstances, with this guy's fanatical loyalty, he shouldn't disrupt his train of thought during battle!
"Saint Lord my ass!" Sun roared furiously, smashing his purple-flamed flail hard into Jiang Yuan's chest.
Damn it, he originally thought that since this was the final battle, he should find a way to fight properly and absorb some divine power or something.
But this idiot had immediately latched onto him, making Sun extremely irritated.
Jiang Yuan spat blood, taking the opportunity to quickly retreat.
"Saint Lord, behind us, those seven cities..."
"Seem to have developed problems!"
