“Buzzing—”

Pure white flames burned the butterfly knife. With a wave of her hand, the red electric arc pulled the butterfly knife into her hand, and the white flames instantly poured into the palm of Perlis.

Almost at the same time, the broken sword of the Lord of the Black Tide was shaped by the dark power and became whole again. Black flames burned on it and rushed towards Perlis.

“…!”

Perlis quickly stepped back. She pinched off the white flame and her senses suddenly became stronger. The location of the three pieces of [Broken Star] blade fragments was immediately revealed – they were among the sword tombs in the Sword Field, shrouded in a faint black light.

The Lord of the Black Tide obviously realized Perlis’s intention. He raised his great sword and aimed it at Perlis. A dark vortex swirled around the sword and then gushed out towards Perlis.

“boom–“

This time, Perlis did not dodge, but took out the feather pen from the crack – which contained the fragments of the authority of [Engraving Ink].

According to Perlis’s speculation, in the kingdom of the Lord of the Black Tide, He should have the highest authority over power, which cannot be taken away by external objects, including the feather pen containing the Engraving Ink in Perlis’s hand.

But if these powers come from Him, then perhaps it would be different.

Perlis needs His power, just as she used the quill to reshape the Broken Star in the beginning, now she also needs the quill to unlock the Broken Star.

“Got you.”

The dark flames roared in, and Perlis gently waved the quill pen. The flames suddenly seemed to be bound by some kind of gravity, quickly gathered at the tip of the quill pen, and shrank together.

Upon seeing the feather pen, a strong pressure suddenly erupted from the body of the [Lord of the Black Tide] – the [Star Seed] longed for the reunion of power, and Perlis was holding a piece of power fragment in her hand.

That pitch-black silhouette looked so appetizing to the Lord of the Black Tide. The dark aura on His body suddenly surged, and pitch-black tentacles sprang out from between His armor, twisting.

But when He was about to attack Perlis again, He found that she had disappeared——

——Only a shadow was buzzing above the ground.

At this time, Perlis was holding the [Word of Ursa] in her hand and moving quickly in the underworld.

She used the holy book given by Ivar to mark the locations of the three pieces of [Shattered Star] fragments, and then used the netherworld to quickly drag all three fragments in.

[Lord of the Black Tide] also has powerful control over the underworld, so Perlis must act quickly.

The three ordinary-looking broken swords fell into darkness and slowly floated in front of Perlis. Perlis gently waved her feather pen, transforming the netherworld power released by the Lord of the Black Tide into the power of creation, which entwined the three sword blades.

The three blades immediately separated, and with a series of slight explosions, they turned back into the broken blades of [Shattered Star].

Almost at the same time, the power of the abyss surged up from below. When Perlis lowered her head, she saw countless black tentacles sweeping towards her, about to touch her.

She tore open the rift without hesitation, jumped out of the [Netherworld], and returned to the [Origin of Sword].

According to her calculations, the [Lord of the Black Tide] should be attacking quickly now, so she has raised the black knife.

But Perlis missed one thing.

This is the kingdom of God of the Lord of the Black Tide, and the kingdom of God itself is a country determined by the will of the master.

Perlis chose to jump out from a position farther away from the sinking point, but at the same time, the Lord of the Black Tide directly moved the position of the entire kingdom of God.

After the relative change of position, Perlis appeared in front of the [Lord of the Black Tide].

She only had time to sense the incoming storm, and just as she hastily raised the black knife, she felt a bone-tearing impact on her body—

“boom!”

Perlis fell to her knees in an instant, and the black knife she raised barely blocked the slash from the Lord of the Black Tide, but was also pressed to the chest by the huge force.

The pitch-black blade cut into Perlis’s shoulder, and she could feel her bones burning and blood flowing out.

……

16) His eyes are still bright red (Part 3) -4k chapter-

“Boom!”

The Qi Lang soldiers behind the Great Wall only felt a strong spatial fluctuation, and a huge white light shield came over them like an overwhelming force –

“Boom!”

During the distance that the [Kingdom of God] moved, all the soldiers and buildings were instantly swallowed up, and a larger hole was torn in the [Great Wall] –

“Buzzing—”

The red lines gradually faded on the Great Wall – the complete destruction of the wall’s continuity caused the energy of the [Core] to be unable to continue, which made the Great Wall suddenly lose the power to repel the dark followers.

Almost at the same time, the ground around the [Kingdom of God] turned dark again, and the followers of the Black Tide surged out from underground, roaring and attacking the damaged Great Wall.

The dark waves pushed the soldiers’ front line back continuously. The claws of the black tide followers were shining with black light. Every time a soldier was killed by their claws, the edge of the [Kingdom of God] would expand a little.

The Great Wall guards quickly organized a resistance and formed a solid front under Yan Chu’s command, but casualties continued to increase.

As the [Kingdom of God] was about to spread, a dark figure dropped from the sky and stood in front of the Kingdom of God.

That was Yi Qian. The ground around her turned as dark as the night, forcing everything back. At the same time, she drew out the [Dragon Breaking Sword] behind her and slashed at the [Kingdom of God] –

“boom–“

The light of the [God’s Kingdom] was shaken for a moment, and then began to stop spreading. Yi Qian stood alone outside the [God’s Kingdom], holding up the long sword engraved with the ancient Qilang dragon pattern, with the tip of the sword resisting the edge of the white light wall.

With just one man and one sword, they were able to confront the vast kingdom of God.

Yan Chu stared at Yi Qian’s back. Seeing that graceful figure single-handedly resisting the barrier that tore open the Great Wall, he was speechless for a moment.

But even so, the overwhelming black tide followers still poured out from the edge of the kingdom of God. They ignored Yi Qian and continued to attack the Great Wall Defense Forces which had retreated a lot. Even a large number of high-level bodies began to appear among them.

At this moment, Yan Chu knew that he had no other choice.

“【Hanging Sword】,” Yan Chu said calmly, “Can you identify my coordinates?”

There was no reply. The terrifying magnetic field surrounding the Kingdom of God had apparently interfered with the communications from Yan Chu to Facility Zero, and information could not be sent outside the Great Wall.

But actually they are all the same.

“…”

Yan Chu twisted [Neuromancer] again, and at the same time, three factor-energy nuclear bombs were fired from a launch silo not far from here and flew quickly towards the East Great Wall.

The nuclear bomb landed somewhere else but right under his feet.

According to his calculations, the defense forces could hold out for a maximum of ten minutes, and the nuclear bomb was also scheduled to land in ten minutes.

If they are all destroyed, the nuclear bomb will be dropped without hesitation.

He was prepared to make sacrifices.

“…”

Yan Chu took another look at Yi Qian’s back, then loaded his pistol and leaned half of his body out of the battle line.

His eyes became sharp at this moment. He aimed at the Black Tide follower closest to him and pulled the trigger.

……

“Uh…Ahaha…”

The pitch-black giant sword penetrated deep into her bones. Perlis only felt a sudden blackness in front of her eyes and her arms became a little weak.

She could feel the blade, which contained the power of the netherworld, burning in her flesh and blood. As the strength in her arm drained away, the giant sword sank into her shoulder inch by inch.

Suddenly, a blasphemous whisper came from the abyss –

“…Immotalus…Immotalus…Immotalus…Immotalus…”

As she whispered, a scene full of symbolic meanings once again floated before Perlis’s eyes…darkness versus red…tentacles twisting and reaching out to the city in the sky…a figure rising from the black lake…

The picture suddenly froze… A huge eye was staring at Perlis at the end of the darkness. The eye was so big that it took up most of the horizon. The dark pupil stared straight at Perlis, with a hint of blood red in it.

“Inmotalus…” Perlis murmured softly.

At the same time, a tall figure rose in front of Perlis – the [Lord of the Black Tide] stood in front of that eye, staring at Perlis.

This scene…Perlis had seen it before.

During the time when she first explored the truth of this world, in the terminal of the Ocean Royal, Evans cracked for her the Wide Area Broadcast that Laplace sent to the other side using the Tower of Babel – there was a prayer hidden in it.

In the image projected by the prayer, Perlis saw for the first time the giant eye and the huge statue standing in front of the giant eye.

That was the first time she knew that [Inmotalus] was not an island, but the true name of an ancient god.

And now, at this moment when she was infinitely close to the Lord of the Black Tide, she truly saw the old god behind him.

Yes, Imhotaros is looking for a returning body, and He needs a qualified person.

And the [Lord of the Black Tide] standing before Him was naturally the being chosen as the holy body.

The goal of the desecrated Coles Hafgard was to seize all power and call back the ancient gods. Therefore, after hearing the [Wide Area Broadcast] from Laplace, he headed towards the Great Wall, aiming for the [Engraved Ink] located within the Great Wall.

That’s what Perlis thought.

Until the Lord of the Black Tide turned around.

“…?”

This time, the [Lord of the Black Tide] did not raise the giant sword towards Perlis, but raised the giant sword towards [Inmotoros].

“Stay away from my blood relatives (ancient divine language)!”

Twisted words roared out, and countless black tentacles burst out from the body of the Lord of the Black Tide, tearing open His armor and binding Him in place.

At this moment, Perlis knew the truth.

The Lord of the Black Tide approached the Great Wall, not entirely for the fragments of Engraved Ink.

What He really wanted to do was to protect Perlis.

The notice that Laplace sent to the other side using Perlis during the [Competition] was to tell the [Lord of the Black Tide] that your bloodline is about to be contaminated.

This is why the [Lord of the Black Tide] began to leave the spire and march westward.

He was not coming for the Great Wall at all, He was coming for the Tower of Babel!

Suddenly, Suleiman’s whisper to Laplace floated faintly from the darkness:

“Hafurgard is always easy to control. Their divinity is higher than their humanity, which makes it difficult for them to survive.”

But what’s the difference?

Without destroying the Great Wall, it would be difficult to cross the sea and a war would be inevitable.

After hundreds of years of perseverance, Coles Hafgard finally became a chess piece used by Laplace.

“…”

In the dark space, Kors Hafgard struggled in pain. Those tentacles could no longer wait for the power to be complete. A broken god was about to use His body to return to this world – because Motalos could no longer wait.

Just when Perlis didn’t know what to do, Coles roared again:

“White Flame! Use my sword to kill me!”

The dark knight struggled to turn around, and at this moment, Perlis once again looked into his eyes under the helmet——

——Those eyes, after hundreds of years of destruction, are still bright red.

“…!”

The dark picture shattered, the wind and sand from the Sword Plain blew in, and Perlis’s eyes focused again.

She was still half-kneeling on the ground, trying to use the black knife to prevent the giant sword on her shoulder from penetrating deeper, but the power of the giant sword had weakened a lot.

Perlis raised her head and looked at the broken helmet of the Lord of the Black Tide – she saw the pair of bright red eyes and the tired expression in them.

Coles used his willpower to lighten the force in his hands, and his will awakened for a moment.

The illusion that Perlis just saw was His final communication.

The next moment, those eyes were corroded by darkness – as more and more tentacles emerged from the gaps in the armor of the Lord of the Black Tide, his consciousness was gradually taken over by Inmotalos.

Coles’ words echoed in Perlis’s ears:

“White Flame! Use my sword to kill me!”

At this moment, the halo in Perlis’s eyes exploded, and the blood on her shoulder was all over the black blade, and at the same time, a red line gathered on it –

“bass–“

The black knife tore open the giant sword of the Lord of the Black Tide. At the same time, Perlis drew out the hilt of the Star Crusher and thrust it forward fiercely.

“Boom—boom—boom—”

Three silver blade fragments flew in the air and hit the [Lord of the Black Tide] one by one. Each fragment passed through his body, knocking him back, and bringing out streams of dark blood.
