Chapter 92: The Main Palace Awakens! ()
"Chaotic Heavy Rain!"
Seeing that his call for aid was futile, Kronos roared furiously, his ten arms crossing behind him and vibrating intensely.
The Chaotic Power formed by the fusion of Titan Powers turned into sharp, needle-like black rain in front of him, shooting towards his opponent, who had already charged up to him, covering the sky and overwhelming the earth.
Once hit by this black rain imbued with Chaotic Power, everything within range would be devoured of its vitality and decomposed into basic elements.
Luo En didn't dodge or evade, instead, he held the Gun of Nation Creation upright in front of him. The Wheel behind him turned as golden wings burst open dramatically, with Titan Divine Text, Hermes Script, and linear characters emerging on the feathers as if countless voices were calling out in unison from the depths.
"Light, stop here!"
In the next moment, the chaotic world cleared, as beams of light interwoven with golden threads descended from the sky like meteors, striking towards the crown atop Kronos' head with the force of a thousand thunders.
The shattered pitch-black void was filled with golden radiance; the dense, needle-like black rain was dissolved inch by inch, and even the armor and skin on Kronos began to show signs of cracking under this immense pressure.
"You wish!"
However, at this critical juncture, Kronos didn't hesitate to raise the ten arms behind him towards his head, protecting the Crown that bore his Authority.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Within the dull thuds, Kronos' ten arms were nearly shattered completely, but in the end, he stubbornly withstood Luo En's powerful strike.
Then, taking advantage of the shockwave, the Titan King managed to increase the distance between them again and began to chant with solemn lips.
"Rhea Life!"
Suddenly, the mangled short limbs wriggled and healed rapidly, and the shattered ten arms were restored in an instant.
And this time, there were eight bursts of firelight on the arms!
Two minutes!
"Star Breath, Life Rush, with this brilliance, cleanse the filth and purge the evil!"
Luo En chanted the Divine Word rapidly, pushing the Authority brought by faith to its limit.
In an instant, countless speckles of starlight, as if answering a call, drifted from mountains, rivers, lands, seas, and converged into Luo En's Gun of Nation Creation, forming a white-hot column of light that pierced through heaven and earth, mingling with the vast expanse of the starry realm.
In the next instant, waving the spear forward summoned thousands of Light Spears from the sky, focused on Kronos, who had just regained his footing.
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
Under the relentless assault, the ground was almost plowed seven or eight times over by the Light Spears, causing the earth below to further crack open, revealing craters that seemed to lead straight into the Abyss.
And Kronos, unable to avoid them, let out successive muffled groans amidst the spreading dust.
As the dust settled, the mountainous body of the Titan was impaled with blazing white Light Spears, and golden-red Divine Blood gushed from the wounds, almost forming a small pond at his feet.
But even now, looking like a pitifully studded hedgehog, Luo En held no relaxation on his taut face; if anything, the shadows in his eyes grew darker.
Because,
The Crown atop the Titan King's head remained intact, with the Divine Emblems within it rapidly activating [Life] Authority, visibly mending his broken body.
At the same time, the Ninth Group's fire was already lit in the hands behind Kronos.
One minute, no more time!
Luo En's expression became strained, as he desperately tried to get close to Kronos, who was about to unleash the Divine Authority.
"It's useless! All your struggles are in vain; you can't do anything! You can only watch helplessly as I take everything you hold dear~!"
While retreating, Kronos' lips curled upward into a hideous smile, mocking his opponent who attempted to get close like a hyena, venting his humiliation and rage.
"Whoosh!"
The burning Gun of Nation Creation was thrown from Luo En's hand, fast as a shooting star, fierce as thunder.
But to miss by a fraction is to lose by a mile.
"Dang!"
The spear grazed past Kronos' cheek and flew by, while the sound of a distant bell simultaneously chimed.
"This is your final resistance? Your aim is this bad, it's laughable!"
Kronos mocked with a cold laugh, looking out over the ruins where the gods and humans lay gasping for survival, slowly unfurling all ten of his flamed arms, assuming a ferocious posture to declare the end of this world.
"The time of judgment has arrived; your resistance ends here! Misbegotten fools, raise your heads. I grant you the grace to open your eyes, to behold the majestic scene of my great achievement before you scatter like ashes, ha ha ha ha ha!"
The myriad beams of light that stained the sky materialized behind Kronos, their fearsome might climbing higher and higher.
Under a blood-red twilight, the hearts of the New Gods and humans plummeted, as if smelling the scent of death and destruction.
Crack!
However, a faint sound of breaking abruptly cut Kronos' laughter short.
His body stiffened, and reflexively looking up with the reflection of the Water Light, he saw his Crown.
The Crown was still there!
Then how...
Suddenly, Kronos seemed to realize something and slightly turned his head to look behind him.
There, a spear resembling a withered branch was intricately inserted into the dial-like halo behind him, completely piercing the Giant Scythe that acted as a pointer.
"Looks like I hit the mark?"
Luo En dusted off his hands, revealing a knowing smile.
Just as there's often more than one path to the other side, there was more than one way to stop Kronos from unleashing the Divine Authority.
