Chapter 1276: Slaying the Light
The process of Lin Qiye killing Rist was nothing short of an instant kill.
On the other hand, Phil, who witnessed Rist die in Lin Qiye's hands, narrowed his eyes, his expression growing grim.
He stepped forward, his form dissolving into the scattered golden pools of light on the ground. In the next moment, several humanoid silhouettes standing within the light rose up around Lin Qiye, their radiance so intense that not a single corner of the dim forest remained dark.
Under this light, the darkness beneath Lin Qiye's feet began to rapidly dissolve.
"Oh? This is the aura of the Goddess of Night..." The humanoid silhouettes around Lin Qiye spoke in unison, their voices filled with surprise. Then, as if having realized something, they exclaimed:
"I understand now! You're the Double God Agent of Great Xia!
You're a spy who infiltrated Asgard!!"
Several thick beams of crescent light shot out from all directions, cutting toward Lin Qiye's body. The latter stood in place without the slightest intention of dodging.
A faint smile curved his lips as he said lightly, "Figuring that out now is already too late."
In the midst of the countless crescent beams, Lin Qiye raised his right foot and stomped heavily on the scattered golden pool of light beneath him!
[King's Final Command]!
Boom——!
An invisible domain instantly engulfed all the light below his feet.
As he lifted his fingertips, those thick crescent beams flying in from all directions suddenly and inexplicably rotated halfway through the air, then flew straight toward one of the humanoid silhouettes standing at the very edge!
At the same time, Phil, who had been hiding within, turned pale with shock. The God's Ruins beneath his feet seemed to have gone out of control, forcibly ejecting his true body from the light as he stumbled backward.
He watched those beams of light coming directly at him, his eyes filled with terror and confusion:
"How is this possible?! You can control my God's Ruins?!"
Phil's form turned to light and shot upward, evading the crescent beams. But as Lin Qiye's fingertips lifted once more, the calm pool of light within ten meters beneath his feet suddenly roiled, as if completely freed from Phil's control. Countless gleaming sword blades took shape and shot densely toward the sky!
Under the effect of [King's Final Command], Lin Qiye had seized control of the portion of light God's Ruins beneath his feet. Although the vast majority of control remained with Phil, with just this "rebellious" portion of the light God's Ruins, Lin Qiye could firmly suppress Phil's abilities.
Phil's expression was grim beyond measure. He had no idea how Lin Qiye had deceived Thor and infiltrated Asgard, nor did he understand how the other party could turn his own abilities against him...
But thinking about those things now was utterly meaningless. In this [Gray-White Colosseum], only the final victor could leave.
Either he killed Lin Qiye, or Lin Qiye killed him.
A resolute light flickered in Phil's eyes. A strand of light burst forth and shattered the light swords Lin Qiye had fired, and his form began to grow rapidly!
In this gray-veiled gray-white world, Phil's rapidly expanding form was like a blazing sun, instantly transforming into a hundreds-of-meters-tall giant of light. He rose to his feet from within the towering forest, and pristine halos manifested from the void, floating behind him—holy and majestic.
"What is this..." The hurricane howled. Lin Qiye looked up at the figure shrouded in infinite light, his brow furrowing slightly.
"He's using divine magic to imitate and evolve the God of Light." Si Xiaonan spoke weakly from beside him. "Be careful. He's very powerful in this state."
"The God of Light?"
Lin Qiye shrugged, unconcerned. "Doesn't look like much to me..."
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a magnificent magical radiance bloomed from beneath his feet. His black pupils enveloped his body, and a crimson eye opened on his brow, taking control.
He lightly tapped his brow with a fingertip, and a illusory soul emerged from his physical body. In an instant, spiritual energy surged between heaven and earth, and the howling sandstorm shook the entire forest.
"...Divine magic? I have that too."
As Lin Qiye's words fell, between the swirling sands, a towering avatar slowly rose from the earth.
This avatar stepped on starlight and gripped a longsword. Its form towered nearly ten meters higher than Phil's God of Light. The deep crimson cloak billowed like a bloodstained curtain of night, covering the entire gray heavens!
Infinite light and the deep crimson curtain of night almost split the entire [Gray-White Colosseum] into two regions, furiously encroaching upon and clashing against each other. The two massive figures, like mountains, simultaneously crashed toward one another!
BOOM BOOM BOOM——!
Thunderous rumbling shook the clouds. Severely wounded Si Xiaonan leaned against a giant tree, her body swaying in the violent gusts and winds.
Her eyes fixed on Lin Qiye in the distance, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her lips as she murmured to herself:
"Leng Xuan, you can't possibly imagine how strong Qi's Night is now...
If the Captain could see this, he would definitely be overjoyed, right?"
In her mind, she recalled the Lin Qiye who had just joined the Night Watch, being beaten black and blue under Chen Muye's devilish training.
Who would have thought that years would pass in a flash, and that clueless rookie would grow into someone who could fight evenly with the most pinnacle "Klein" experts... Si Xiaonan reminisced about those cherished memories buried in the deepest corners of her mind. After a long moment, she sighed deeply.
In the distance, the rumbling gradually subsided. Phil, who had transformed into the God of Light, was being driven back relentlessly by Lin Qiye's avatar. Several divine halos behind him showed signs of scattering.
"This is impossible, this is impossible!" Phil spoke in disbelief. "How can a Double God Agent be this powerful?! This isn't what the rumors said!!"
"Don't believe rumors. Don't spread rumors."
Lin Qiye said calmly, and the Ame-no-Murakumo in his hand slashed down viciously.
Under the control of [King's Final Command], the light protecting Phil's body automatically parted to either side, allowing the blade to slice through the God of Light's form, precisely striking the surface of Phil's body!
A massive spray of blood erupted. The towering God of Light shattered inch by inch, and Phil's form fell from the heights, crashing heavily onto the earth.
The towering avatar of Lin Qiye looked down at Phil's fallen form, then gripped the Ame-no-Murakumo in reverse and thrust it down violently!
The blade pierced Phil's heart. The latter's pupils, locked on Lin Qiye, gradually went dim. The不甘 and confusion in his eyes had yet to fade before being eternally frozen in place.
Phil, Agent of the God of Light, was dead.
Lin Qiye dismissed the avatar, and his divine spirit returned to his body. He glanced at Phil's corpse, confirming his death, then spoke with a hint of confusion:
"Why hasn't the Colosseum disappeared yet?"
Si Xiaonan looked at him, her expression complex. "I told you—only one person can walk out of this Colosseum alive...
Right now, there are still two people in here."
