Chapter 213: Declaration of God-Slaying

……

In the dark and oppressive magic abyss, Leo ran swiftly across the ground.

The ten people behind him seemed to not take him seriously, which was an opportunity. His sword intent spread to the extreme as he killed the encroaching demon race while searching for a breakthrough in the magic abyss.

He could not place his hopes on others; he had to find a way to survive on his own.

Sexus and the others closely followed behind, like cats toying with a mouse, not in a hurry for him to escape.

“It was careless; it seems he has transmitted our message.” The first to speak was one of the two women among them, Ecoly.

“What does it matter? In any case, no one in this time and space is our opponent; everything is under our control.”

“Don’t forget our purpose; our enemies are very powerful, and we cannot be careless.”

“So what? Are we afraid of them?”

“Enough.” Sexus stopped them from continuing, “We have indeed been careless since arriving in this time and space, but since we have already been exposed, let us boldly announce our arrival to the world.”

The others’ expressions turned serious; their leader was about to take action.

……

On the high platform, Michelle wore a holy crown and held a holy staff, radiating an aura of divine light, resembling a sacred goddess.

“Long live the Saint!”

“Praise the Saint!”

Countless people shouted, celebrating the ascension of the chosen Saint, immersed in cheers, with no one paying attention to what Heles had said earlier.

Even though the ceremony had ended, the crowd still did not disperse, the cheers continued, and their enthusiasm did not wane. They looked at the noble and cold figure ahead with adoring eyes.

They recalled the spectacular scene from before, their faces filled with confidence, firmly believing that under the Saint’s leadership, they would surely overcome all obstacles and usher in a glorious era!

“Willing to serve the Saint!”

Rows of Radiant Knights knelt on the ground, pledging their loyalty, followed by priests and nuns, and finally, the knights maintaining order also respectfully knelt down.

“Willing to serve the Saint!” The crowd also began to shout, and the entire imperial capital was in an uproar.

After the ceremony, Michelle wanted to return quickly; she was very concerned about what Heles had said and wanted to investigate further.

Suddenly, a chilling aura swept across the land. Under the glaring warm sunlight, the surrounding crowd felt a cold sensation, and their hearts grew somewhat chilly.

“It’s a bit cold; the weather is about to change.”

“Is it going to rain?”

In that moment, they did not pay attention.

An anomaly occurred; a massive dark figure loomed over the imperial capital, overlooking the ground.

It was a magical image as large as a mountain, its form ethereal yet incredibly solid, clad in dark light armor, wearing a black mask, with a wide cloak billowing in the wind, emanating a vast aura that pressured heaven and earth.

The dark figure blocked the sunlight, casting another layer of shadow over the ground.

Not only the Satilon Empire but also the Siska Kingdom and all other human powers, as well as the residents of the three great empires of elves, dwarves, and orcs, all gazed at the enormous figure in the sky.

The entire continent witnessed this scene.

“What is going on?”

On this day, the dramatic changes unfolded repeatedly, and the people of the imperial capital felt restless, shocked as they stared at the figure in the sky.

“Immediately investigate this matter.”

The Pope quickly issued the order, and the Holy Knights sprang into action.

Not long after a team of Holy Knights left, another team arrived to report: “Your Holiness, it’s not just the imperial capital; the Holy City and other large cities, as well as various places in the empire, have seen the same scene, and similar news has come from other empires.”

An atmosphere of unease spread among the people; such an anomaly was unheard of, like a precursor to a great disaster.

“Everyone, do not panic!”

Michelle returned to the high platform, calming the crowd, “No matter what enemy it is, the strongest is just the Demon King; we will definitely be able to defeat them!”

“Exactly! We believe in the Saint!”

Michelle’s voice seemed to carry a kind of magic, soothing their emotions, and everyone felt at ease.

“Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs… all intelligent races that exist on the continent.”

The enormous magical shadow in the sky emitted a deep and grand voice that spread across the entire continent, drawing the attention of the people on the ground once again.

“My name is Sexus, the embodiment of the end. We are the forsaken ones of the world, possessing the great power to destroy it. We have long lost everything, wandering through various times and spaces, recklessly striving for the supreme cause.”

“We have come to this time and space, not for slaughter, nor for destruction, nor for domination, but to slay the gods. We will achieve our purpose and bring peace to the world, creating a world where everyone can live equally.”

“However, the human church and various empires will surely send troops to hunt us down and obstruct our actions. A peaceful future must be forged with force; we will resist, and the continent will be engulfed in flames of war. All of this is the result of ignorant and incompetent humans; they cannot comprehend how terrifying the power we possess is.”

“To achieve our goal of slaying the gods, we solemnly declare here: anyone who stands in our way shall die!”

“God-slaying?!”

Ordinary people on the continent showed fear; such a rebellious statement dared to be announced publicly, without fear of divine retribution?

“S-Sexus!”

Vernia’s face turned pale, her lips trembled, a massive wave of memories surged in her mind, and she trembled all over, curling up in mid-air, her eyes filled with panic.

Michelle noticed her condition and asked, “Do you know him?”

Vernia immediately shclass into her silver hair behind her, hiding herself, fearing that Sexus would discover her presence.

Seeing this, Michelle frowned and stared at Sexus; could it be that his purpose was truly to slay the gods, to make even the self-proclaimed goddess Vernia feel fear?

She decided to see what the other party had to say, hoping to reveal more information.

“Immediately investigate who this Sexus is.”

The church personnel and the imperial official system sprang into action, various messages spreading throughout the empire.

“I believe the major powers are already investigating our origins, but it is all in vain. The insignificant ants do not know the vastness of the world, foolishly attempting to shake the great tree with their feeble strength; I advise you to take care of yourselves.”

“To bring you despair, knowing that resistance is futile, we will now demonstrate our strength.”

The scene in the sky changed; Sexus’s enormous phantom disappeared, and a magical image appeared, exposing all ten of Sexus’s group.

On a hillside piled with corpses, ten terrifying figures were shrouded in thick demonic energy, exuding an unfathomable aura, like an endless vast ocean. Even through the magical image, one could feel the terrifying intimidation of these individuals.

Michelle’s expression turned horrified; this scene was almost identical to the last image she saw when she had just awakened as the chosen Saint. Her face grew serious, and a very ominous feeling surged in her heart.
