Two versus two.
Previously, it was You Lauder and Li Sushang who had besieged Fu Hua alone.
And now—
"The so-called two versus two."
"Fu Hua" raised her right hand and pointed her thumb downward, "referring to me and the ancient relic, beating both of them."
At this moment, in the face of such a direct provocation—
"Two versus two."
You Lauder dispersed the "White Flower of the Black Abyss" in her hand. "It's not necessary."
But she did not "leave it."
Instead, in another form... in the form of a "Traveler of Fate," whose name she herself did not know, she was bestowed this key of the Sixth Divine.
Like that immortal holy sword.
"One must not underestimate the power of fusion warriors."
"However—"
"Orange" Lauder advanced once more.
Wherever she stepped, the grass turned green.
And as she moved forward, step by step, she continued to approach the true red figure.
Her entire body, the armor of "Kaguya Tsukipo," had faded away.
Pieces of armor emerged one after another, and what now clothed her was the golden armor that bore the weight of the "world."
"As for the trump card—I have one too."
Lauder's long white hair was naturally tied back. "And it's stronger than ever."
"Let me go beyond!"
"唪\~"
At that moment, Yolandele, who had entered the fused state of the "Immortal Star Anchor," clenched her fist and rubbed the armor, while a clear wave of flame condensed in her palm and burst between her fingers.
As if there was a connection.
Both sides of the battle, at the same time, took on the cun-shin style, which originated from Chinese family traditions, and the opening posture taken from Western boxing fighting styles.
"Fu Hua" smiled, fists clenched around her waist with one hand, the other turned into a claw.
"You" Lauder's eyes were solemn, her legs slightly bent.
Both sides' fighting spirit rose.
Ready to strike.
"Wait!"
Li Sushang panicked a bit. "This level of inner force (Honkai Energy)... If you start fighting here, everyone nearby will—"
...
Neither side responded.
Nor did they show any intent to stop.
They didn't even wait for Li Sushang to finish speaking.
"Boom!"
Sonic boom.
The two flames collided head-on.
In an instant—
"No—!"
Li Sushang, who was closest, was directly shaken by the aftermath and sent flying face down.
And she was clearly not the one in the worst condition.
Because she still retained the ability to barely protect herself in this artificial and extremely harsh environment.
But near her, others—
"Bang!"
The shockwaves that spilled out indiscriminately destroyed what remained of the church ruins on the ground.
In an instant—
"Ahhh!!!" ×N
A chorus of screams echoed around.
They were the helpless cries of the local weak population—of the fervent believers.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
It was just a clash of fists, but the two parties involved, "Fu Hua" and You Lauder, were not significantly harmed.
But the people around them, unaware of what had just occurred, faced flying rocks and dirt like bullets with their fragile bodies—dead and wounded.
Some were pierced through, others inexplicably lost half their heads.
For a moment, there was mourning and blood everywhere.
In fact, long after Fu Hua's dizzying strike made the entire upper half of the church vanish... No, even earlier, when roaring bursts echoed through the church, there should have been intelligent people who sensed something wrong and quickly moved away.
But at that moment, all the crazed believers nearby made the wrong judgment.
They thought another "miracle" had arrived.
However, reality told them—
"It's divine punishment!"
"Divine punishment has descended upon the world!!"
"THE GODS ARE ANGRY!!!"
...
In an instant, among the believers, some fled in shame, while others rose up, knelt again, and prayed even more devoutly.
Nearby, women cried and begged for their lifeless children in their arms to be saved.
There were also those who, after being stunned for a moment and discovering they were completely unharmed, even claimed to be blessed by the gods.
All manner of human behavior revealed itself.
Suddenly—
"Whoosh\~"
"Whoosh\~"
Two streams of light, rising from the ruins of the old church, soared into the sky.
They immediately disappeared into the clouds.
"Bang-bang-bang\~"
"Boom!"
A tremendous, air-combat-like sound echoed from above.
Sometimes fire flashed, sometimes clouds scattered.
The speed at which the two clashed was simply too fast.
Ordinary people simply couldn't see it with the naked eye.
This time, the battle was far more intense than the previous tentative clash between the two sides when Kevin confronted Mei Raiden at Jangkong City International Airport.
Because back then, the latter two held back.
So much so that the scene at the time, while terrifying to watch, was at least—
But today—
"Whoosh\~"
A massive fireball, like a second round of scorching sun hanging in the sky, blasted off in a certain direction.
"Suddenly\~"
After a violent collision, the angle of the fireball suddenly deflected.
It landed directly in the mountains beyond.
"Boom!"
Explosion. The earth trembled.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a translucent trebuchet fell from the sky and crashed directly into the sea southwest of Cotton Harbor.
In an instant, a waterfall of waves rose hundreds of meters high.
As if a massive depth charge had been detonated under the sea.
Ordinary people had no idea that neither the massive fireball (blazing light strike) nor the translucent weapon (Hoshiguchi Phantom Lance) were consumables that either side could generate repeatedly.
All they knew was—
The ground, and the debris on it, trembled again and again because of it.
Dahavi, beneath the battlefield, seemed to be experiencing a trial of the apocalypse.
Many held firm, and even as they fled, they fell to their knees in even greater terror.
All around—
"Haha\~ My old friend has quite the temper."
"But it seems she's no longer confused."
Originally constructed in the church, a passageway led directly to a secret underground chamber. Giant scattered rocks rolled away one by one under the constraints of several golden chains.
Emerging with a small figure and white hair was a blond man respectfully followed by a short-haired woman. Otto Apocalypse murmured with a smile as he looked into the distance.
"You... What the hell is going on here?"
The embarrassed figure of Li Sushang descended from the air. "What exactly are you trying to do?"
At that moment, she stood on a flying sword, and the "Jade Knight Moonmark" armor on her body looked a bit disheveled.
"Nothing."
Otto looked at her with a gentle... smile—at least on the surface.
"Don't worry, Lauder can handle things here."
He patted the little white-haired figure beside him... Delisa's head. "Unfortunately, I originally wanted to meet an old friend and chat a bit."
"But now, let's move first!"
As he spoke, he looked into the distance and caught sight of a fire in the sky rapidly approaching.
"If we don't go, it might get a little dangerous."
"I still don't want to experience that Lord's methods."
Seeing this—
...
Li Sushang, who also noticed the approaching fire in the sky, didn't say anything further.
The short-haired woman beside Otto... Rita, then bowed respectfully. "Miss Li Sushang, please come with us."
"Mm\~"
Li Sushang nodded.
In the next moment, a golden-orange halo flickered.
The four of them vanished into the crowd.
And what disappeared with them was the strangely shaped locomotive hidden underground.
Meanwhile—
"They're all way too powerful!"
Far from the church, inside a ruined house—
A somewhat thin girl stumbled out of a fragile paper-thin partition door and fled farther.
She, Kali, had obtained the power of a God's Apostle, bestowed by the gods.
She felt that if she encountered those filthy outsiders again, she could easily kill them all without effort.
There was no reason to run in front of those people.
But that wasn't enough!
She didn't know that she was actually incredibly lucky in some ways.
"God" did not erase her humanity according to certain arrangements.
But even so—
"Those who blaspheme must not be spared—destroy them all."
As she ran, Kali's eyes grew increasingly firm. "The world must be purified!"
She said: "Let only one voice remain in this world in the future!"
The voice of "God"!!!
