Chapter 1226: Proxy War
"Egyptian sun god?"
Below the Ancient Well in Wu City, the three stone statues witnessed this scene, their bodies trembling simultaneously. Gravel and debris slid off their forms, their expressions filled with shock.
"It can't be wrong... that's Ra's heart."
"What's going on? How does he have the heart of Egypt's Supreme God Ra?"
"Not just the heart—his right arm, left leg, and spine were all transplanted from Ra's body... Look closely, you can see charring on several spots. They must have been wounded by the source of a god's kingdom."
"Does this mean Ra is dead?"
"That must be the only explanation." The stone statue on the left paused. "We fled into this treasury to escape the mist, and it's only been a hundred years. Yet a Supreme God has died outside... It's possible the entire Egyptian pantheon has vanished."
"What happened in those hundred years?"
While the two stone statues on left and right exchanged words, the central stone statue fixed its gaze on Bifeitu's beating, searing heart. Its gaze gradually burned with fervor:
"With only 'Klein's' realm and God's Ruins, yet possessing Ra's heart and body... If we sacrifice him, not only can we control this treasury, we can use the power of the 【Holy Grail】 to return to divine realm!"
"This is the best sacrifice that has fallen right into our hands!"
"Whether Sumerian glory can be restored depends on this."
Below the Ancient Well, the three stone statues that had been seated for who knows how long rose slowly.
Dense gravel and dust billowed in the well. As the stone-skin cracked and fell away, the three figures in the dim well bottom raised their spines that had been dormant for so long.
......
"That's..."
In the Vast Desert, Lin Qiye stared at the white-hot heart beating in Bifeitu's right chest, frozen in place.
"That's the heart of Ra, the Supreme God of the Egyptian pantheon... though only a fragment." The 22nd envoy narrowed his eyes. "Not long ago, after the Gods of Great Xia destroyed the Egyptian Sun City and slew the sun god Ra, his corpse was secretly stolen during the chaos—and the thief was precisely his proxy, Bifeitu.
Ra's divine laws were divided among the gods of other pantheons, but Bifeitu transplanted parts of his body onto himself, someone who also possessed the sun God's Ruins.
It was by relying on this half of the sun god's body that Bifeitu rose from sixth place among the 【Ten Scribes】 to second place, possessing the strength to rival a god despite being only at the 'Klein' realm."
The 22nd envoy paused,舔了舔嘴唇 = licked his lips, muttering to himself: "What a perfect sacrifice..."
After the god of the proxy dies, transplant the opponent's body?
Lin Qiye looked at the Bifeitu before him, who resembled a stitched-together monster, his brow furrowing deeper.
No wonder Bifeitu could escape from the old city lord earlier even after having his mental realm抽走 = drained by the 【Scepter】. Relying on this divine body alone, he possessed extreme, terrifying battle prowess.
Bifeitu's gaze swept across Lin Qiye and the two divine artifacts in the 22nd envoy's hands. He spoke calmly:
"Forget it... I want both the secrets of the Dual-God Proxy and the 'Supreme' divine artifact."
BOOM——!!!
Bifeitu slammed his foot hard against the ground. White-hot sun god light erupted from his left foot, instantly vaporizing the desert below. With near-teleportation speed, he flashed to Lin Qiye's front!
His speed was too fast—even Lin Qiye's spiritual perception couldn't catch it in time. Without thinking, his form dissolved into night and flashed backward.
At that moment, Bifeitu raised his right arm, which radiated white-hot divine light. He clenched it into a fist and smashed it toward the empty space before him!
Dazzling white light blazed like a sun at arm's reach. The surrounding space seemed to melt and twist violently. The powerful compression forced Lin Qiye out of 【Night Flash】, stumbling backward.
That arm could actually interfere with space?
Lin Qiye's heart sank.
The next instant, Bifeitu's arm, blazing like the scorching sun, rocketed toward Lin Qiye's chest like a cannonball.
CLANG——!!
In the distance, the 【Scepter】 tip struck the ground. Golden ripples instantly swept across both their forms.
"Damn!" Lin Qiye cursed.
While they had been fighting, the 22nd envoy had taken the opportunity to rush into the 【Scepter's】 effective range, draining both of their mental realms in one breath to充实自身 = enrich himself.
Lin Qiye felt his body hollow out. An unprecedented emptiness rose from the bottom of his heart. A strand of golden thread floated out from his body, flying toward the 22nd envoy in the distance.
Of course, Lin Qiye wasn't the only one who lost his mental realm. After the golden threads left their bodies, Bifeitu's right arm, which had been blazing like the scorching sun, quickly dimmed. Only a faint wisp of white light remained flowing through it.
The fist wind struck Lin Qiye's chest. The latter immediately transformed into a black cannonball, screaming as it crashed into the sand dune behind him.
Even without the 【God's Ruins】 to empower it, this "Supreme God Arm" was still beyond what Lin Qiye's physical body could withstand.
After delivering that punch, Bifeitu didn't pursue. Instead, he withdrew his gaze and looked toward the 22nd envoy on the other side.
In his understanding, with Lin Qiye's spiritual energy drained and having taken a direct hit from him, even if he wasn't dead, he should have shattered bones all over his body and completely lost combat capability. Thus, his only remaining opponent was the 22nd envoy holding two divine artifacts.
At this moment, having absorbed the mental realms from both Bifeitu and Lin Qiye, the 22nd envoy's spiritual energy had swelled to an terrifyingly abundant level. Pink light ripples churned like waves. Countless blood-stirring visions floated and沉浮 = surged in the air, like invisible jade hands stirring the most primitive desires in the human heart.
Under the washing of the pink waves, Bifeitu's brow furrowed slightly. That white-hot heart beat violently, constantly purifying the invading wicked desires from his body.
"Such filthy tricks can't困住 = trap me." Bifeitu snorted coldly. His form lightning-fast狂掠 = hurtled forward.
"What a monster!" The 22nd envoy cursed under his breath. He retreated rapidly while raising the 【Holy Grail】 in his hand, whispering:
"I wish—the 【Sword】 betrays!"
The moment the words fell, the wine swirling in the 【Holy Grail】 immediately dropped by a large portion. The 22nd envoy stared at the barely remaining liquid in the cup, his face filled with心疼 = heartache.
In a flash, the 【Sword】 gripped in Bifeitu's palm suddenly stabbed backward. The blade hacked at the transplanted Supreme God arm. A deafening humming roar echoed as the faint light shrouding the arm's surface shattered like glass. The entire pale arm visibly withered and decayed.
The King's 【Sword】 contained cutting laws that could sever gods, and the Supreme God body Bifeitu transplanted was precisely a target the 【Sword】 could harm.
This sudden turn of events made Bifeitu's eyes narrow slightly. Before he could respond, another explosive roar erupted from the distant yellow sand pit.
An ethereal soul soared upward. In an instant, the sky changed color!
Gale winds swept through the yellow sand, wailing beneath the thunderclouds. The spiritual energy游离 = drifting between heaven and earth rapidly gathered toward the center of the wind and sand. Soon, it coalesced into a towering giant statue!
