Chapter 787 28: Assassination
Taking advantage of the realm collapse, at the moment when the duel outcome was decided, the shadows hidden behind the scenes orchestrating everythingfinally couldn't resist taking action.
This is the best opportunity!
When the enemy's battle is over and victory is certain, that's the best moment for a sneak attack!
At this time,
a person's vigilance is at its lowest.
The success rate of a sneak attack will also accordingly increase.
Without any hesitation,
as the massive hole shattered in the sky falls with flames, a large and small silhouette emerges, and just as the Blue Dragon Legion on the ground is about to cheer.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, golden light bursts forth!
Like the sun rising between the plains, a beam of earth-shattering light pierces the sky, traversing thousands of meters in an instant, crossing and impacting in front of "Gory"!
This attack,
came suddenly, it came mysteriously,
and it was exceedingly fast; in an instant, people realized the assault had already struck "Gory's" entire body!
The power of heaven and earth shook like tides at this moment,
wind rising, clouds surging,
triggering an earth-shattering destructive storm!
"What?!!!"
"Who is it!"
Countless people were shocked,
then angered, their hearts burning with fury.
Who is launching the sneak attack!
The strongest few were startled, clutching weapons, trying to find the attacker to vent their fury.
But the next moment,
a greater impact traversed the sky!
An unparalleled terrifying momentum swept across, an indescribable pressure covered the sky and earth, making everyone feel as if a mountain weighed down on their shoulders!
The figures that had just leaped into the air were directly knocked down by the shock of this golden light.
What power is this!
An incomparable intimidating force,
even Legendary Level warriors had to bow under such power.
It's frightening, terrible!
This is a power exceeding Legendary!
Who is it?
Is it another Realm Level powerhouse?
Countless people were aghast.
The world seemed far more terrifying than they imagined!
At this moment,
facing that attack directly, "Gory" didn't make much of a move.
This golden light attack spanning the sky didn't cause him much harm but instead transformed into a cross of law shackles, sealing the power of the heavenly void.
Space was also sealed.
"Gory" was bound by this power.
The void solidified as if it were a solid, unable to move or break free.
"Power of Faith?"
The cross of golden light binds "Gory," his pupils contract sharply, and without warning, the void behind him suddenly pierces, several golden chains clatter, intertwining in the air, repeatedly binding "Gory's" body.
This is the power of faith!
In an instant, Austin perceived the essence of this power!
Without hesitation, Gory's pupils suddenly emitted a glow.
His gaze penetrated through layers of void, bypassing the glaring golden light in the sky, seeing several figures hidden behind attacking.
Leading them,
wore a white robe, topped with a Pearl Crown, holding a Cross Staff—it's the Pope!
Behind,
stood proudly, flanked by Holy Knights, guarding firmly on both sides.
People from the Vatican!
Seeing this scene, Austin understood he had become the target of the Vatican!
This was both outside his expectations and within reason.
Only the existence of the Vatican could possibly utilize the Forbidden Divine Technique that consumes the Power of Faith, to confine him in the void; this Power of Faith was of a level beyond ordinary power.
Did he offend a Church or Vatican,
or become the target of a Divine entity?
Or perhaps both?
Austin was puzzled.
Since the battle with the Arcane Mage thirty thousand years ago, the twilight of the gods, Divine entities entered slumber, this world entered a godless era, the remaining Vatican never regained its former strength, teetering in the wind and rain.
However,
in recent years, with the dramatic change of circumstances, celestial entities above the starry sky started to awaken, and the Vatican's power rapidly grew and recovered.
The chaos on the Central Earth Continent,
is not unrelated to certain churches under Divine entities.
Now,
he also became one of the targets?
Recalling the malice sensed previously by his body, coupled with the experiences of Gory and the Blue Dragon Legion, the spark of war and other events, it's easy to guess the fact is thus.
However,
this is just a Divine Fragment descending, investing such great effort to deal with a Divine Fragment,
what are these unknown forces really planning?
Austin no longer tried to struggle, gathering the power of the Dream Realm to defend, quietly waiting for the opponent's next move.
Under the constraints of the power derived from the Power of Faith, Austin couldn't break free in a short time, only waiting for the opponent's subsequent tactics.
After all, only a Fragment descended through the Dream Realm, spanning boundless Space-Time, while his body remained far in the depths of the endless Chaotic Starry Sky, separated by unknown galaxies and distances.
Moreover, in the prior battle against the King of Calamity,
he consumed quite a lot.
He sensed it,
the Pope's breath surpassed the Legendary level, equivalent to such Realm Level powerhouses as the King of Calamity!
Unable to break free from the bondage,
could only stay still as a countermeasure!
Austin's wait did not last long,
soon,
the enemy made the next move.
His questions also found answers.
"The heretical sinner eternally damned in Hell, the Divine judges you!"
The Pope's form floated up,
his body radiated Holy Light, like the sun, exuding supreme majesty causing people to bow.
As if a Divine entity descended,
lofty, filled with endless grandeur!
Divine radiance illuminated the surroundings,
this is the Pope, belonging to the Vatican's power!
Power of Faith,
this power belongs to the Divine system, entirely different from Magic and Fighting Qi systems.
Under the suppression of Divine Technique,
it is permeated with an essence of high and unapproachable Divinity, enveloping the whole scene!
Strangely, the Pope did not use Divine Technique to strike but took out a sword.
An invisible sword,
can neither be seen,
nor clearly grasped.
But in Spiritual Sense, Austin felt all lights from heaven and earth converged onto that Invisible Sword, filled with an inexplicable profound meaning!
That is a sensation, indescribable in words.
Vague and ethereal,
yet remarkably powerful.
"What is that?!"
"Gory" narrowed his pupils,
in Spiritual Sense, he sensed a hint of danger!
Danger perceived by his body targeting that Invisible Sword!
Though not lethal,
it implies it could hurt him, could hurt his body?!
Not waiting for Austin to make any move,
Swoosh!!!
The Invisible Sword transformed into a streak of light, slicing open the void ahead,
then,
disappeared!
Truly vanished, sight and Spiritual Sense alike lost perception of it.
The next moment,
that mysterious and nameless Invisible Sword, as if piercing through layers of space, attacked from the Alternate Void, penetrating deep into "Gory's" mental realm, directly towards Austin's residing Divine Fragment!
