249 - Paso Prohibido
More than a hundred enemies defeated, and they weren't ordinary enemies, but more than a hundred Frost Giants! Each Frost Giant had "Reino del Río" level power, capable of easily crushing a remote Vigilantes de la Noche squad. This attack by Maestro Chen was like dropping a nuclear bomb among the Frost Giants.
At the same time, in the distance, Loki frowned slightly.
"Another strike from that old man... but you won't get a second chance." Loki looked up at the thunderclouds pressing overhead, a sinister smile appearing on his lips. "My next piece... has arrived."
¡Boom! In the chaotic sky, layers upon layers of thunderclouds stacked upward, reaching a total of thirteen layers, each one surging with terrifying lightning.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning descended from the topmost cloud, piercing directly through the remaining twelve layers. With each layer it passed through, it grew thicker, and by the time it fell into the mortal realm, it had become a massive pillar of divine lightning!
The pillar of lightning hovered in mid-air, gradually coalescing into a human form—a tall, lean man with bronze skin, a shaved head, barefoot, bare-chested with sharply defined muscular lines, wearing dark yellow exotic trousers.
Lightning surged across his body as he slowly opened his eyes, gazing down at the city below with cold indifference.
"¿Thor, el Dios del Trueno?" someone asked from the helicopter.
"No, this can't be Thor. Thor has always been on the side of benevolent gods—he'd never conspire with his brother..." The officer carefully observed the exotic face of the man in mid-air and slowly spoke.
"This is Divine Sequence 016, Indra, the Indian god of thunder and rain... In early Indian mythology, he was called the King of Gods, second only to Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu.
Did he also come with the Indian gods to retrieve 【Shiva's Grudge】? This is bad..."
A Norse god of mischief alone was enough to put Cangnan on the brink of destruction, and now Indra had arrived—the situation instantly took a turn for the worse.
Indra in mid-air lowered his gaze, focusing on the carriage below. That was the only threat he sensed in this city.
"Surrender Shiva's forbidden artifact." Indra spoke slowly, his voice like thunder echoing through the sky.
The sound pierced through Maestro Chen's Paisaje Mental and entered the carriage.
At that moment, inside the carriage.
Lin Qiye, who had been drinking tea, suddenly froze and looked around. "What was that sound just now?"
Lin Qiye had been locked inside the carriage by Maestro Chen, completely unaware of the battle that had just occurred. He only knew that while they were drinking tea, Maestro Chen had suddenly sneered and shouted "Insignificant foreign rats, petty tricks!" before throwing his teacup outside.
As for the Maestro's single strike that had destroyed over a hundred enemies, he was completely oblivious.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it, keep drinking tea." Maestro Chen silently took out another teacup from the cabinet, then looked up and called to the page outside the carriage. "Move fast!"
"Hyah!"
The page immediately drove the carriage, turned it around, and galloped away from the battlefield at full speed.
Seeing that Maestro Chen had not surrendered 【Shiva's Grudge】 but was instead fleeing rapidly, Indra frowned. He coldly snorted, and a fierce bolt of lightning shot down from the clouds!
¡Boom—!!
Just as the lightning was about to strike the carriage, a brilliant light burst forth from its surface, blocking the strike. The carriage body shuddered violently!
The page driving the carriage had gone pale, gripping the reins tightly, and accelerated the horse's speed even further.
When his first strike failed, Indra's fury intensified. His form turned into a streak of lightning streaking across the sky, pursuing the departing carriage.
With Maestro Chen and Indra both leaving the battlefield, only the endless Frost Giants and the shattered defensive line remained.
"Now, what do you have left to stop me?" Loki squinted at the front, a smile curling on his lips.
¡Roar roar roar roar—!!!
The Frost Giants' roars echoed. From when the Maestro struck down over a hundred giants to now, dozens more had poured out from the summoning gate, merging into a torrent of ice and snow, charging toward the broken defensive line for the final assault.
This time, no miracle occurred. The few remaining thermal weapon defenses were easily crushed by the Frost Giants. Over a hundred giants strode straight through the defensive line, heading toward the nearby city along a wide, straight road!
The giants' feet stomped heavily on the ground. The residents of Ciudad Cangnan felt the very earth trembling beneath them. Though they didn't know what was happening, feeling the continuous thunder in the distance, panic spread through everyone's hearts.
¡Waaah—!!
A piercing infant's cry rang out, followed by swarms of black crows taking flight into the sky, circling beneath the dark clouds.
In the residential buildings near the outskirts, all the dogs faced one direction and barked ceaselessly, their barks echoing one after another, unsettling to the heart.
In the distance, a massive dark shadow was approaching.
The Frost Giants roared as they charged across the road. At the city's edge stood a highway toll station—that was the last checkpoint leading into the city.
Black crows circled, thunderclouds rolled.
Under the gloomy sky, only the displays at the barrier remained illuminated, five bright red "X" marks serving as the final source of light for this unmanned toll station.
—此路不通。
A faint red glow fell on the ground before the toll station. A man in a dark red cloak stood there, two black cases beside him. On his shoulder, he carried a bright red signboard.
¡Boom boom...
The earth hummed. The surging giants directly ignored his existence, quickly approaching.
The man calmly watched this scene unfold and slowly spoke: "I am Chen Muye, captain of Vigilantes de la Noche Squad 136 stationed in Ciudad Cangnan. The way ahead... is closed."
With that, he violently thrust the signboard into the ground. Three beams of light shot up from three locations, forming a triangle that perfectly enclosed all the Frost Giants and the toll station behind them.
"¡【Dominio Sin Ataduras】!"
¡Clang—!!
Within the Dominio Sin Ataduras, two soft sounds rang out simultaneously. Two Espada Recta blades弹 from the cases into Chen Muye's hands. The black Ruina Prohibida rapidly spread outward from his center.
Behind Chen Muye, the silhouette of a blood-red palace gradually materialized. Above it hung an ancient, mysterious plaque.
—¡Sala de Yama!!
Chen Muye held swords in both hands, as if transforming into the black usher of death before the Sala de Yama, ruthlessly claiming lives. His form ghosted toward the advancing Frost Giants!
Before him stood over a hundred Frost Giants of the same realm.
Behind him... was an entire city.
Within that city were countless souls.
