Chapter 1934: Three Against Ten
【Good lord, three against ten??】
【They're all at god-level, right? Can three really beat ten?】
【From the gully ripped open on the sea surface, it seems their pressure levels aren't that different... Three against ten and they're evenly matched?! Are the Night Watch gods this strong?】
【That's Mr. Shen! Don't you remember how he faced down the combined pressure of multiple gods alone when he was overseas?】
【Hu Jia is also someone who saved 360 million people from Vishnu's grasp. His strength probably isn't something a regular god can match】
【No comparison needed, obviously the gods of Great Xia are generally stronger than gods from other mythologies!】
【Fair point, those ten black gods are really disgusting】
【Right, I feel like I'm going to throw up...】
【Both the red cloak and black cloak are incredibly powerful, so who exactly is that old man in the gray cloak?】
【Go for it!! Kill them all!!】
【...】
Seeing that the three Night Watch operatives were holding their own against ten Chief Gods without falling劣势, the livestream chat became active once more. Combined with Lin Qiye's earlier declaration of "No Gods Pass," the vast majority of citizens were filled with renewed vigor. More and more people stood up, their words brimming with confidence. The panic that had gripped them when they fled to the shelters vanished in an instant.
What could conquer fear better than absolute self-belief? The silhouettes at Sunken Dragon Pass had elevated their confidence in Great Xia to its peak!
And this perfectly proved that the Night Watch's approach and strategy thus far had been correct—this was precisely the outcome Lin Qiye had envisioned.
Swoosh—!!
In the livestream, six gray wings unfurled behind Shen Qingzhu. With a gentle flap, they dissolved into countless ashes, instantly drenching the entire world in gray.
He casually pinched the smoldering cigarette between his fingers, brought it to his lips, and made a shushing gesture.
"Shh—"
The next moment, all sound ceased!
The cigarette, its embers about to fade, suddenly erupted with blinding firelight. Torrents of flames spread across the sea surface, engulfing the ten divine silhouettes skimming over the abyss.
In this gentle sound, the gray world curled and blackened like an old photograph burning in a sea of fire, the scorching flames scorching a massive hole through it!
As if sensing the terror of this strike, the ten figures scattered rapidly. But the figure at the very front failed to escape the flames' reach—its gray body disintegrated into scattered ashes in the inferno. The dense crimson worms within it let out silent wails before falling silent forever.
This strike directly scattered the Chief Gods. They attempted to bypass the three of them and rush straight into Sunken Dragon Pass, but before they could fly far, their forms visibly began to slow!
Above the churning sea, the gray-clad, gray-haired old man slowly drew the sword at his waist.
In that instant, the wheel of time was frozen by some mysterious force. Surging waves hung suspended in mid-air. Within a five-li radius centered on the gray-robed elder, everything seemed to have pressed pause. Even the howling wind raging toward Sunken Dragon Pass's outer wall was trapped in the void.
The nine Chief Gods, caught within this domain, were like figures stuck in quicksand, moving at an agonizingly slow pace forward. Meanwhile, the red and black-cloaked figures beside him acted as though completely unaffected, striking out once more!
【Holy shit!! Time freeze?!】
【Time... The gray-robed old man's ability is time?】
【No way, Time God? That's insane... He managed to freeze this many gods at once!】
【If he's a Time God, why couldn't he restore himself to youth? He looks eighty or ninety already...】
【No idea, but based on the current situation, his strength is on par with Mr. Shen and the Mind God!】
【His face is a bit old, but I bet he was a real heartthrob in his younger days...】
【...】
Just as the chat was exploding with messages, the black-cloaked figure had already flashed to the center of four Chief Gods. An ancient stone ocarina was pressed to Hu Jia's lips, and melodious music echoed across the sea's surface.
As the ocarina's notes rose and fell, the environment around Hu Jia began to distort. He took a step into the gods' mental world!
Within that empty mental world, Hu Jia sensed something. His clear eyes reflected the image of a cloud of flesh and blood... His brow furrowed slightly.
These corrupted corpses weren't living beings to begin with, so they had no mental world of their own. The depths of their minds pointed only to the one controlling their bodies—the Forest's Black Goat.
"This is troublesome..." he murmured.
...
Below the battlefield where the pale thunder dragon clashed with the Chaos dragon, Vishnu narrowed his eyes, gazing at the nearby sea surface.
There, a figure draped in a Crimson Cloak stared back at him with equal calm.
"You dare face me alone?" Vishnu coldly smiled. "I thought Nyx would be the one standing here..."
"Is that so?" Lin Qiye replied flatly. "You're nothing more than a pawn of the Cthulhu Faction, a Supreme God who has done nothing but run and hide... You're overestimating yourself."
Vishnu's expression darkened. During their encounter in the Temporal Maze, when his divine power had been drained, he had nearly been killed by Lin Qiye's ambush. The two were already locked in a fight to the death. On top of that, his carefully laid plans had been disrupted for reasons unknown—he was already fuming with frustration.
Now, seeing Lin Qiye dare to face him alone in his fully recovered state, Vishnu was seething with rage. If he couldn't complete Chaos's mission, and couldn't even kill this Lin Qiye, he might as well dash his own head against a wall.
"Since you've come seeking death, I'll grant your wish!"
Vishnu's contorted face split in two. The smiling half transformed into a shooting star that shot toward Lin Qiye. One palm rapidly expanded over the sea's surface, within moments becoming an island flickering with black light, and crashed toward Lin Qiye's face with earth-shattering force!
Lin Qiye's Straight Blade flashed from its sheath in an instant. A sweep of golden blade-light slashed across Vishnu's palm,死死抵住 this strike.
Vishnu's smiling form continued to swell. Within seconds, it had grown to match the size of the Leviathan and pale thunder dragon above. That sky-blocking palm descended with the weight of a thousand jun, pressing Lin Qiye down and slamming him beneath the sea's surface!
Before this colossal hand, the endless ocean was no more than a pond rippled by a gentle breeze. The giant's palm strike sent waves a thousand li high soaring skyward, sweeping outward in all directions with howling winds!
The people manning the cameras on Sunken Dragon Pass's outer wall paled. Before these monstrous waves, their forms were no bigger than ants. Any single spray of water could drag them down to the ocean floor!
"Watch out!!"
Reporter Liao shouted. A towering wall of water was already hurtling toward them!
