Chapter 439 New Skill "Godslayer"
A terrifying crimson light enveloped the sky, devouring the firmament. Thick, surging waves of blood spread wildly, and the vast sea of clouds was eroded by this ominous color.
Even the sun hanging in the sky paled in comparison to this hideous crimson color.
The fall of seven gods, not to be returned to the heavens but to their deaths, resonated throughout the world, which was enveloped in an atmosphere of extreme sorrow!
"That's spectacular!"
Roy stared at the blood-red inferno in mid-air, which was countless times more terrifying than the phenomenon that occurred after Artemis was devoured by Scorpio in the original timeline.
It is common for gods to be sent back to the heavens, but it is extremely rare for them to be killed directly in the mortal realm over the past thousand years!
However, the battle is not over yet!
Transfer to a higher position!
The spatial fluctuations swallowed Roy's figure, teleporting him to the cage where Astraea was imprisoned, and he swiftly grabbed his goddess's soft, boneless hand.
Immediately afterwards, the spatial magic was activated again.
Roy led Astraea away from the dangerous coffin made of firestone.
They had barely landed when a chilling glint of light struck them.
call out!
At that moment, a petite yet ghostly figure instantly closed in on Roy. The gleaming short sword in her hand transformed into a deadly silver streak, its piercing whistle tearing through the air as it viciously slashed at Roy's arm that was gripping Dionysus.
The game was over the moment Roy rescued Astraea! Philvis and Dionysus both knew that the other gods didn't hold much weight in Roy's heart and could no longer pose a threat.
Losing this trump card, they will face the most terrible revenge—the murderous intent of the "Madman"!
In the blink of an eye.
Roy was constantly on guard against Phil Weiss, and dodged to the side as the slash grazed past his sleeve.
With his right hand gripping his goddess and the other holding Dionysus's life in his grasp, Roy's right leg swept fiercely towards Philweis's waist and abdomen like a whip.
In mid-air, Phil Weiss displayed astonishing flexibility and agility, her slender waist twisting like a willow branch to narrowly avoid the dangerous kick.
Philweis, now at LV.8, possesses extraordinary combat power!
Any other LV.7 adventurer would have been blown away by Roy's whip kick.
"Release Lord Dionysus!"
In the next instant, she used the momentum of her roll to flick her wrist, and the short sword transformed into a deadly cold star, piercing Roy's throat like a viper's tongue, perfectly illustrating the saying "an inch short, an inch dangerous"!
"Hmph!" Roy snorted coldly, no longer dodging, threw Dionysus away, took out the elven holy sword, and the blade, which shone with moonlight, precisely positioned itself before that deadly cold star.
clang!
The sharpness of the short sword clashed fiercely with the elven holy sword. Instantly, a deafening clang of metal resounded.
Centered on the two people, the hard ground could not withstand this LV.8 power at all, and was instantly covered with terrifying spider web-like cracks. Countless pieces of stone and dust were swept into the sky by the violent air waves!
call!
Dionysus, carelessly discarded by Roy, plummeted rapidly downwards in the gale.
"Lord Dionysus!" Philweis's terrified and desperate scream tore through the sky.
Even though she was filled with vengeful rage, Phil Weiss remained absolutely loyal.
Without the slightest hesitation!
Philweis burst into LV.8 speed, like a moth to a flame, frantically rushing towards the falling figure. Just as she grabbed Dionysus, a smile of relief appeared on her beautiful face.
In the next instant, space distorted slightly!
Like a vengeful ghost, Roy suddenly moved to Philweis's side and delivered a powerful side kick.
The joy in Philweis's eyes instantly turned into endless panic. Without time to think, her body's instincts drove her to twist at an extreme point in mid-air, using her back to shield Dionysus in her arms.
Bang!
Click!
The terrifying whip kick slammed into Philweis's back without restraint, the dull impact mingling with the sharp, piercing sound of bones cracking.
"Pfft!" Phil Weiss's body suddenly arched, and blood gushed from her mouth.
The two were kicked away by Roy Wolf and crashed into the buildings near the Tower of Babel at a terrifying speed.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Philweis and Dionysus's bodies, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, crashed violently into the dense cluster of houses, creating a continuous, terrifying roar.
Wherever they passed, solid brick walls shattered instantly like fragile cardboard, and dozens of houses were pierced straight through by the terrifying impact of the two men.
Smoke and debris billowed out, obscuring the sky.
"Cough! Carve!!"
As the dust settled, the figures of Phileuse and Dionysus appeared in the center of the ruins, coughing violently. Their bodies were deeply embedded in the broken walls and rubble, looking extremely disheveled.
Phil Weiss was almost covered in blood; her delicate face was covered in blood and dust, and her clothes were tattered, revealing skin covered in bruises and horrific wounds. Most shocking was her noticeably sunken back, at an unnatural angle—the very spot where she had taken Roy's fatal blow.
Although Dionysus, who was being held tightly in Philweis's arms, was also in a sorry state, covered in blood and mud, he had not suffered any fatal injuries.
This is a selfless protection from a LV.8 adventurer.
Transfer to a higher position!
Spatial fluctuations spread like ripples, and Roy and Astraea appeared nearby.
Once bitten, twice shy! Roy will never let Astraea out of his sight again.
"————"
As Roy's large, strong hand gripped her firmly, an uncontrollable blush spread across Astraea's delicate cheeks. The blush, like newly blooming rose petals, peeked from beneath her smooth skin and slowly spread to her delicate earlobes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked up at Roy, a helpless yet happy smile playing on her lips.
"The Holy Staff of Exorcism unleashes lightning, sweeping away my enemies!"
The Staff of Dionysus, the Supreme God!
The moment Roy appeared, Phil Weiss chanted rapidly, and as she finished, the short sword in her hand burst forth with a terrifying, dazzling silver light.
Rumble!
With Philweis's LV.8 magic power boost, countless violent silver lightning snakes transformed into terrifying thunder dragons, emitting shrill roars as they frantically devoured Roy.
Just as the lightning was about to engulf Roy, spatial fluctuations once again swallowed his figure.
boom!!
The terrifying lightning strike, having lost its target, slammed into the dense cluster of buildings behind them.
The piercing silver lightning instantly engulfed a large area of houses, shattering bricks and stones, breaking beams and pillars, and turning the entire area into a smoky ruin!
Even though it's a short chant spell, its power is still incredibly astonishing with the attribute bonus of LV.8.
But if you don't run into Roy, it's all for nothing!
Phil Weiss's face was ashen, her frantic gaze darting around, searching for Roy's whereabouts.
The next instant, space rippled slightly, and Roy's figure materialized behind Phil Weiss. The elven holy sword flashed with an extremely cold light, silent and faster than lightning, slashing towards her slender arm.
scoff!
The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh and clothing rang out. Even though Phil Weiss instinctively twisted her body at the last moment, the sharp sword light still tore through her arm, bringing with it a spray of dazzling blood.
The excruciating pain caused Phil Weiss to groan softly.
Her face turned deathly pale, and she frantically swung her injured arm, trying to retaliate, but the trajectory of her short sword had lost its former precision and sharpness.
call out!
Roy simply tilted his head slightly, effortlessly dodging the chaotic attack.
Without the slightest pause, Roy's eyes were as cold as ice, and he raised the holy sword in his hand once more, even faster, and slashed down fiercely with astonishing killing intent.
The Divine Shield of Dionysus!
Philweiss's urgent, sharp chanting rang out, and with her call, magic erupted, forming a semi-transparent shield shimmering with holy light and covered with countless mysterious and fantastical elements before her.
clang!
Roy's elven holy sword, wielding the force of lightning, struck the hastily formed shield, the dazzling light clashing fiercely with the sword's cold gleam.
Click!
A crisp, piercing sound rang out, and the shield surface only lasted for less than half a breath before being covered with spiderweb-like cracks in the face of Roy's powerful strength!
"Drink!" Roy roared, his arm muscles bulging as an even more terrifying force poured down.
Bang!
The magical shield that Philweis had conjured shattered with a roar, turning into countless shimmering fragments that then dissipated into starlight.
Strike while the iron is hot! Roy will not give her any more chances; this time, he must eliminate her completely!
Roy's sword did not pause for a moment, and with the residual force of shattering the shield and an even more terrifying killing intent, it slashed down and tore apart Phil Weiss's chest!
Phil Weiss stared blankly at the descending sharp edge, powerless to stop or dodge it.
puff!
The dull thud of the blade digging deep into flesh and bone exploded as the sharp elven holy sword tore a deep, bone-revealing wound into Philwiss's exquisite chest.
Scalding hot blood, like a gushing spring, mixed with bits of clothing and fragments of internal organs, swirled through the air, staining the ground a blinding crimson.
More importantly, Philweis's fragile internal organs—heart, lungs, liver, etc.—exploded and torn into a bloody mess of fragments in an instant.
"Ugh—!"
Phil Weiss's pupils dilated sharply, and a mournful cry filled with endless pain escaped from deep within her throat. The powerful aura emanating from her instantly plummeted to the bottom, like a flickering candle that would be extinguished by a gust of wind!
Roy, who had been suppressing his anger, didn't even give his opponent a chance to say her last words. The elven holy sword in his hand transformed into a cold arc of death, fiercely slicing across Philwiss's snow-white and slender neck!
puff!
The incredibly sharp blade tore through the opponent's skin and muscles, leaving a line of blood at the neck.
An elven girl's head, with an expression of disbelief, separated from her body in an instant!
Hot blood gushed out from the severed neck like a gushing spring, and the headless body fell softly backward, while the beautiful head landed squarely in Dionysus's arms.
"ah----"
Philweis's head lay quietly in Dionysus's arms, her eyes still holding a trace of astonishment and confusion. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out.
Finally, the girl slowly closed her eyes.
Philvis Charlia is utterly dead!
"Philwines————"
Dionysus held Phileith's lifeless head in his arms. His handsome face showed little sorrow. As a god with eternal life, he had lost count of how many of his followers he had lost.
The bond with family and loved ones has long transcended life and death.
"Philweiss, you've done very well. Our long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. Rest assured—" Dionysus stroked Philweiss's cold cheek.
Roy stared coldly at Dionysus, the man who was the root of all evil.
Phil Weiss was just a pitiful person!
Transforming into a "freak" does not affect one's personality. Philweis's extreme behavior was entirely due to Dionysus's evil seduction.
As a pure elf, Philiveus couldn't accept becoming a "monster," nearly collapsing and contemplating suicide. Dionysus told Philiveus that if she turned everyone on Earth into "monsters" like her, then she wouldn't be an outcast among humans.
Under prolonged brainwashing, Phil Weiss became increasingly insane, developing a second personality.
Dionysus's "gentleness" didn't last long; he had feelings for Philweis, but not many! He was willing to sacrifice anyone for his own schemes!
"Hahaha, what a miracle!"
Dionysus's gaze fell on Roy, his voice becoming louder than ever before, his features contorted, and every pore seemed to radiate pleasure.
Dionysus's credibility might not even be enough to borrow a shared bicycle. In that guessing game, if Roy had chosen Astraea the first time, he would have immediately changed his mind and continued to pressure Roy.
But the moment he successfully forced Roy to kill the god, his plan was perfectly completed!
They even exceeded their targets!
Roy's abilities far exceeded his expectations!
Since Roy's debut, Dionysus has paid no less attention to this young man than anyone else.
Having witnessed his opponent's rise to power and reach the pinnacle, he thought he had everything under control. But now, Dionysus realizes he had greatly underestimated Roy; this young man is a true miracle!
Dionysus was certain that a second "Roy" could never be born in the lower realm.
This is a unique and magnificent miracle!
"Hahaha—Astraea, do you know how terrifying this child is!" Dionysus seemed to have taken a large bottle of stimulant, his fanatical gaze lingering on Astraea and Roy.
Astraea frowned and said coldly, "Dionysus, surrender!"
"Heh heh, I won't give you the chance to judge me!" Dionysus laughed sarcastically.
Roy was like a tiger locking onto its prey.
Astraea took Roy's large hand and gently shook her head at her beloved boy.
Roy stopped in his tracks, his murderous intent receding.
puff!
Dionysus gripped Philoise's dagger, its cold blade reflecting his pale face. To everyone's shock, he suddenly reversed his grip and plunged the dagger viciously into his own heart.
The force was so great that the short sword pierced right through it!
The sword tip protruded from Dionysus's back, and scalding divine blood gushed out like a gushing spring from the fatal wound, blooming in the air into a tragic and eerie crimson flower!
He suffered a fatal wound, yet his divine power failed to erupt!
There was no earth-shattering pillar of light from the sky. Dionysus deliberately suppressed his divine power, and his body began to dissipate, his life force rapidly disappearing.
Dionysus is utterly dead!
"call!"
Seeing this, Roy's tense nerves relaxed.
Despite the countless troubles Dionysus had caused him, and Roy's desire to capture and torture him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief upon seeing Dionysus's complete death.
After all, as long as Dionysus is still in the lower realm, no one knows what tricks he is up to.
A swift and decisive approach is the best outcome!
Roy knew from Dionysus's unusual behavior before his suicide that the other party had noticed his new skill, and it would be better to get rid of him as soon as possible.
[Skill Awakened: Godslayer!]
[Godslayer: Specially targets gods, ignores defense, converts all damage dealt to gods into true damage, and has extremely high resistance to divine attacks!]
[Negative effect: Induces fear in the gods; this effect can be overcome if the target harbors strong emotions!]
[Note: This skill can be inherited through bloodline!]
A new notification panel appeared in front of Roy.
The skill awakened by killing gods can even be passed down through bloodlines. If he leaves offspring, there is no doubt that hundreds of years later, they will be known as "a race that the gods fear and loathe!"
But who could have predicted what would happen hundreds of years later? Roy was seizing every moment to protect the people he cared about.
Finally, it all came to an end!
Astraea could no longer control her emotions. Looking at Roy, crystal-clear tears streamed down her face. "You idiot, why did you have to play that kind of game with that madman Dionysus?!"
Roy smiled wryly, "If I don't play along, how can I save you?"
Do you know what you've done?
Astraea wiped away her tears with her hands, her voice choked with sobs. To save her, Roy had killed seven gods in succession, and this matter was far from over!
Roy didn't want to talk about this anymore. He decided to deal with it as it came, and asked seriously, "Astraea, what can you feel from me?"
Seeing Roy's serious and solemn expression, Astraea tilted her head, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
"I see!"
Roy smiled and didn't say anything more.
The negative effect of the skill "Godslayer" is that he will be feared and hated by all the gods. Dionysus clearly felt this before he committed suicide, and Astraea's feelings for him have already exceeded this effect!
"Astraea, I love you!"
Roy gazed deeply into the goddess's eyes, lowered his head, and with an almost devout tenderness, gently covered her soft lips.
When emotions ran deep, the goddess responded passionately.
At this moment, Astraea cast aside all her former shyness and reserve. She was no longer the goddess who was high above, but just a girl who longed for love and warmth. Her two slender but powerful arms passed through Roy's broad back and wrapped around her beloved boy tightly, almost desperately, like vines, as if she wanted to knead him into her own life.
Roy's large hand also slipped through Astraea's slender waist, tightly embracing the goddess.
Under the watchful eyes of the world, on this land stained red with the blood of eight gods!
The two embraced tightly and kissed passionately. Their figures, against the overwhelming crimson background, formed an extremely tragic and beautiful picture.
With Dionysus's death and the loss of divine power, the divine mirror in mid-air slowly dissipated, leaving everyone stunned and unable to recover for a long time.
