Chapter 1567: The Might of the Hero King
"Divine artifacts?" Lucifer's single eye observed the consecutive stars lighting up the sky, as if recalling something, and spoke in surprise, "The ancient king of Uruk, Gilgamesh? You're still alive?"
"Why wouldn't I be alive if even a broken angel like you is?"
Gilgamesh spoke calmly.
A small black hammer first cut through the sky of the Vast Desert, a thick bolt of lightning striking the surface of the fleshy ball Lucifer, but it only charred one finger black.
Lucifer disdainfully glanced at his hand, about to冷笑, when a mirror artifact in the sky reflected the hammer's shadow and instantly replicated three identical hammers. Four bolts of lightning turned in mid-air, precisely striking the blood vessels exposed on his surface!
Splashing blood burst forth with the lightning, Lucifer roared, and then a large net, an iron chain, and a secret carpet swept across the sky in succession, wrapping around his form. The波动 of Chief God-level artifacts scattered outward, pinning him against a pure silver cross with the wind's force.
Sizzle—!!
Swords, spears, blades, arrows, halberds, axes, hammers… densely packed weapons floated before Gilgamesh. With a light tap of his finger, countless divine lights roared forth, like a rain of artifacts, instantly engulfing Lucifer who was pinned to the cross.
Successive explosions echoed through the Vast Desert, brilliant divine light like a blazing sun continuously expanding in the sky.
Although most of these artifacts were only "Lesser God" or "Chief God" level, and their effect on Lucifer was minimal, such a terrifying quantity, when stacked together, was a different matter entirely.
A demon's roar sounded within the flames, splashing blood forming the outline of a demon's head, which opened its enormous mouth and devoured the surging divine power. A charred fleshy ball broke through the cross's restraint and charged toward the king's shadow above the city.
At that moment, a smoky figure suddenly materialized in the void, a blade accurately cutting along the fleshy ball's flight path. A severed black feathered wing tumbled down through the blood.
Having lost two wings in succession, the tattered wings scattered across various parts of Lucifer's body and organs could no longer effectively support his flight. His momentum instantly slowed, and he wobbled and tumbled toward the Vast Desert!
From somewhere in the charred fleshy ball, a gleam of light flashed in Lucifer's eye. His domain rapidly extended, and the vast Vast Desert suddenly churned. Among the rolling sands, hundreds of grotesque demon faces rapidly took shape.
"Scatter."
Above the city, Gilgamesh, draped in royal robes, pointed a finger. [Final King's Command] interrupted the formation of many demons, forcibly compressing Lucifer's God's Ruins to half its original area.
Lucifer's eyes constricted sharply. In the next instant, a blade of light stabbed into his body, carving a two-meter-long wound. His physiological structure was completely disrupted; his entire body was filled with weaknesses and vital points, even his heart hung directly on his kneecap bone. Number 27's blade directly destroyed many of his organs.
The aura of an Ancestral God flooded into Lucifer's body along with the blade. Those two fleshy wings impaled in his throat and buttocks seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, thrashing madly before exploding one after another.
Unprecedented pain filled Lucifer's mind. He screamed, and the fleshy ball crashed heavily onto the desert.
Under the combined assault of Gilgamesh and Number 27, Lucifer's fleshy ball was already rotting大半, his aura rapidly weakening.
"Good... this time I admit defeat." Lucifer weakly flapped his remaining wings, resentment flickering in his eyes. "If not for the influence of the Gate of Truth... I would have ripped you all to pieces someday."
From the void above Lucifer's head, a space demon suddenly materialized, opening its enormous mouth to swallow the fleshy ball, then vanished in an instant.
Number 27's eyes narrowed, killing intent flickering. Just as he was about to act, a voice unhurriedly drifted over from the distance:
"No need to pursue. He won't escape."
Gilgamesh stood suspended above the city, his royal robes gently swaying in the wind. He gazed at the void beyond the treasury, lips slightly curved upward.
...
As a space demon opened its enormous mouth, Lucifer's form fell from the mist.
He was, after all, a fallen angel. Even if affected by the Gate of Truth, as long as he wanted to leave, those two Chief Gods couldn't possibly kill him. Lucifer didn't know if his current state was reversible. The only option now was to find the [Black Goat].
As one of the Three Pillars of the Cthulhu Faction, perhaps that one could treat the Gate of Truth's wounds.
Lucifer struggled to flap the wings scattered across his fleshy ball, slowly moving toward the distant mist. Just as he was about to completely leave the battlefield, a沉闷 boom echoed from above the clouds!
Boom—!!
Lucifer looked up, his pupils constricting sharply.
Golden light spread across the thick clouds. A man in golden imperial robes and divine crown stood atop the high heavens. Beside him stood a beautiful woman in a gilded purple-patterned robe, holding a mirror, squinting as she looked down upon him.
The clouds parted heavily. One by one, divine figures took shape—some holding gilded red staffs, some bearing punishment whips, some treading wind-fire wheels, some clutching sky-turning seals...
The deep sound of war drums echoed from the clouds, as if hammering Lucifer's chest. He stared blankly at the dozen divine figures above him, his heart sinking to the depths.
"We're in time." The Jade Emperor glanced sideways at Lin Qiye and the others on the Somersault Cloud, relaxing somewhat.
Finding An Qingyu in this mist was like searching the ocean for a needle, but the overwhelming divine power fluctuations from Lucifer's battle against the thousands of Migos were impossible to ignore.
Sensing the divine battle here, the Gods of Great Xia scattered across the world rapidly gathered here. However, by then Lucifer had already been dragged into the King's Treasury by Gilgamesh, so they could only wait outside.
Lucifer looked at the Gods of Great Xia above him, anxiety gnawing at his heart. In his current state, he could not possibly be a match for so many Chief Gods!
"Great [Black Goat] of the forest, you are the symbol of motherhood and life. Your Believers call upon you..." A low voice emerged from within Lucifer's abdomen. A诡异 aura rapidly spread around him.
The Jade Emperor furrowed his brow slightly and spoke calmly:
"Kill."
Divine power erupted from the clouds. Streams of light descended upon the fleshy ball on the sea. Brilliant radiance instantly engulfed the ocean.
"This time, Lucifer should be hard-pressed to survive."
On the Somersault Cloud, Lin Qiye and the others, seeing this scene, relaxed slightly.
Cao Yuan opened his mouth, about to say something, when a earth-shaking explosion suddenly rang out from the other end of the sea!
In the next instant, a golden sword light pierced through the cosmos and sky, crashing from the faint moon's silhouette into the mist on the horizon, almost dyeing the entire sky pure gold.
Seeing this, the Jade Emperor slightly turned his head toward the distance, murmuring to himself:
"So the Celestial Worthy has also made his move..."
After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu suddenly sat up from the bed, gasping.
He breathed in fresh air deeply, his chest heaving.
Confusion, incomprehension, various emotions surged through his heart.
Where is this?
Then, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, only to become even more bewildered.
A single-person dormitory?
Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should still be in a hospital ward now.
And his own body... how could there be not even a scratch?
With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept across the room, finally landing on a mirror by the bedside.
The mirror reflected his current appearance—roughly seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome features.
But the problem was, this wasn't him!
The previous him was a handsome young man in his twenties with noble bearing, who had been working for some time.
Now, however, this appearance was clearly only high school age...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Please don't tell him the surgery was successful...
Body, features—all changed. This was fundamentally not a matter of whether the surgery succeeded or not, but rather immortality.
He had completely turned into another person!
Could it be... he had transmigrated?
Except for the mirror, whose placement was obviously poor feng shui, Shi Yu also discovered three books beside it.
Shi Yu picked one up, and the title instantly silenced him.
[Novice Keeper's Essential Beast-Raising Manual]
[Beast Postpartum Care]
[Non-Human Species Catgirl Appraisal Guide]
Shi Yu: ???
The first two book titles were still normal. What was with the last one?
"Cough."
Shi Yu's expression sobered, and he reached out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.
Just as he was about to flip open the third book to see what exactly this was, his brain suddenly stung with pain, and vast amounts of memories surged forth like a tide.
