Chapter 842 - 516: The Opportunity Has Arrived
Thud!!
The beggar man stomped the ground to gain momentum, flipping into the air.
He dodged the crisscrossing arm slashes, landing on the monster’s shoulder and back, and without hesitation, bombarded it with his arms.
"Stone Fist!"
Thud, thud, thud, thud!!
His arms relentlessly smashed down like stones, creating a violent trail of afterimages.
A muffled explosion resounded, vibrating the air.
The boy lying paralyzed on the ground in the distance widened his eyes, watching the humanoid monster’s head get blasted, collapsing to the ground.
The eerie green blood flowed everywhere, like dusty light spots scattering under the streetlamp.
A middle-aged man in beggar attire slowly stood up, a touch of brown stream glimmering in his brown eyes from nowhere.
"Well?"
"Do you wish to become an Earth Sequence?"
He spoke deeply, already seeing the boy in front of him possessing certain spiritual talent.
Initially dazed, the boy then reacted.
The boy subconsciously swallowed his saliva, roughly guessing he might have encountered some kind of remarkable opportunity.
"Can I also become a Sequence?"
"Certainly."
The middle-aged man in beggar attire nodded with a smile, and the boy couldn’t help but inquire about the earlier conversation.
"So, what you said just now, is it true?"
"Most of it is..."
With a more serious expression, the middle-aged man didn’t deny it, going so far as to reveal he was from the Earth Church and his name was Sosis.
The atmosphere was briefly silent for a moment, and the boy’s expression changed.
He didn’t expect the world to change so suddenly; it turned out the apocalypse was truly upon them.
"You need to make a decision quickly."
With a serious look, the man from the church named Sosis then turned around, looking into the darkness of the street.
"Monsters will descend with the darkness; Hurricane Island is not safe."
"We had better leave now."
As the words fell, the boy gritted his teeth,
quickly sorting through the situation, he wanted to nod in agreement, to join the Earth Church, and leave Hurricane Island together with him.
However.
Thud!!
Before he could speak, yet another deep sound echoed on the street.
The boy’s face slightly changed, and the man named Sosis frowned and turned around.
Loud booms came from the dimly lit street, and the street lamps on both sides flickered off one after another.
And then.
Bang!
"Ah!"
Gunshots rang out, followed by a scream.
In the tearing wails, it seemed a sound of some monster’s chewing resounded in the darkness.
"What is this..."
With furrowed brows, the brown spiritual light of alertness gathered on Sosis.
Thud!
Another muffled sound arose, the surrounding buildings shaking as if struck by a heavy object.
A wave of unease rose in his heart, and Sosis had no more hesitation, wanting to take the boy and flee from this place.
But unfortunately.
Thud!!
A muffled explosion erupted, vibrating the air.
A green shadow fell from the sky, landing behind them.
"Something’s wrong."
Seeing the distorted face of the opponent clearly, Sosis’s face sank, his body once again entering a petrified state.
But before he could take the initiative, another muffled sound exploded at his side.
Thud!
Thud!!
Thud!!!
One monster after another fell from the sky, scattered around.
They either crushed the street beneath them, blocking their way forward and backward, or stood on the rooftops of the row houses nearby, their scarlet eyes staring.
There were both half-human distorted monsters, like demons walking out of Hell’s favored ones.
And there were also ghostly infernal wolves and corrosive black pythons with bloodied mouths still denying human corpses’ flesh....
"Damn it!"
Sosis’s face changed dramatically, never expecting so many monsters to appear.
The boy beside him was already pale with fright, then watching as the monsters approached to kill.
The stench was overwhelming, and the sight of decaying sores filled his eyes.
Bam!!
The petrified Sosis was hit in the chest by a ghostly infernal wolf, the wolf tail swinging like a whip, shattering his spiritual defense on the body’s surface.
While being knocked back, humanoid demons on either side leaped out, striking with bombardment punches.
Tap, tap, tap, tap.
Retreating, Sosis smashed into the street wall, caving it inwards by several inches.
It was visibly noticeable that the brown spiritual light on his body receded inch by inch, his face turning from rosy to pale and weak, blood continuously seeping from the corners of his mouth.
"Cough, cough!"
The pain from his sunken chest was overwhelming, but Sosis couldn’t care less about his injuries and looked up in shock and anger.
The boy he was supposed to protect lay exposed, with shadows spreading continually, covering his body like black liquid.
"Get away!!"
Sosis roared as he stood up, forcibly igniting a burst of Spiritual Light, trying to intervene.
However.
Boom!!
Like a mountain, the ghostly starving wolf pounced, its eyes burning with phosphorus fire as it pinned him to the ground.
Rocks shattered, his head sank into a hollow.
Sosis’s eyes were bloodshot, yet he was humiliatingly subdued on the spot, forced to watch the boy standing there in despair and terror, being devoured piece by piece by the black shadows.
Knees, waist, arms, neck....
The boy’s body seemed about to merge entirely into the darkness, as the last light around was also shrouded by the shadows.
"No!!"
With a furious shout, Sosis’s eyes glistened with blood, suddenly feeling a profound sorrow.
Could the Earth God truly have been harmed by the Evil God?
If not, with disasters born from the earth, why do you turn a blind eye?
As your follower suffering persecution, is there not a hint of blessing or response from you?
Buzz!
Instantaneously.
The last street lamp was seemingly tainted by ink, extinguishing completely.
And that boy engulfed by shadows, only once terrified eyes remained, the whites gradually stained.
"No!!"
Sosis’s mind trembled with fury, his eyes filled solely with sorrow.
Despair spread, as if the entire Hurricane Island resounded with his roar.
But still, in this powerlessness, the boy completely disappeared, merged into the dense darkness.
"Ah!!"
Boom!!!
Desperate roars echoed, filled with sorrowful resentment.
A slash of platinum light descended, like a God in response to prayer.
The dark Hurricane Island seemed to be lit by heavenly light, tearing apart the veil of night.
Platinum hues spread across the sky dome, continuously enlarging, as if a mountain range pressed above the city sky.
Instantaneously.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!
With continuous muffled explosions, one monster after another burst into shards of flesh and blood.
Whether it was the ghostly wolf or the Demon’s Favored.
Even those aberrant creatures emerging from the darkness were pulverized by unparalleled wind pressure into scarlet dust.
"This...."
Sosis, who had been filled with despair, was momentarily stunned as he regained control of his body.
The darkness and shadows within his sight were being swiftly forced back, like a receding tide, immediately revealing the fainted civilian boy.
In disbelief, he hurriedly got up to catch the boy.
Then he looked up, witnessing an unforgettable scene.
The Platinum Giant Statue wearing a crown appeared above Hurricane Island, its majestic body like a floating mountain range stretching for thousands of miles, almost covering the entire dark sky dome.
With the casual movement of its spread, wind pressure layers upon layers diffused, easily shattering everything.
The golden Stone Wings buzzed with a tremor, raising sandstorm tornadoes that soared like a sky pillar.
"The... the Earth God?"
Sosis’s pupils contracted, almost deceiving himself into believing that it was the descent of the deity he worshipped.
Sandstorm, earth power, majestic body...
And that spiritual projection suddenly appearing above the sky dome, extraordinarily resembling a mountainous world.
"Is that.... a God?"
The faintly revived boy opened his eyes, his voice trembling slightly with anticipation.
Sosis was shocked by his words and looked down to see expectation quietly appearing in the boy’s eyes.
In a flash, he opened his mouth.
A bitter smile appeared as he nodded his head.
"Perhaps it is."
Buzz!!
Platinum light exploded brilliantly, the embryonic form of the spiritual world transformed into projection power, spreading inch by inch, combatting the darkness.
Such a scene could only be described as miraculous, illuminating the majority of Hurricane Island briefly with its platinum glow.
With awe in his heart, shock was indescribable.
Whether within the city’s buildings or at the Tulip Kingdom’s warships on the coast, everyone couldn’t help but look up and gaze from afar, enduring the stinging light.
Platinum, majestic as if it had become the sun.
But faintly.
It seemed as though there was a shadow of green-black Blood Wings, silently standing on the shoulder of the Platinum Giant.
Overlooking all life, his scarlet eyes seemed colder than darkness.
The entire Hurricane Island and surrounding seas were within his gaze, seemingly disregarding the endless malice coming from the external darkness.
"It seems, the opportunity to overcome the Heart of Fearlessness...."
Chen Feng squinted, black light swirling atop his head.
"Has arrived."
