Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 802 - 413: The Descent of Khorne’s Chosen, Helmer Makes His Move (Part 2)

"Oh? Isn’t it?""How could it be? We prepared for nearly 7000 years to synthesize Envy and Wrath, succeeded in this era at great cost, and took over the positions of Envy and Wrath early."

"And then? Didn’t you want to keep this kind of power in your hands?"

"Who can control the bearer of a great sin? Every bearer who reaches their peak has their own ideas. When they’re weak, they are of no help, and when they are strong, they don’t serve us, so the real method to use them..."

"Is to send them to other countries to create chaos, right?"

"Exactly, the great sins themselves are our pawns sent out. Once a host is cultivated, their only meaning of existence is to offer their life to a disruptor who is qualified to inherit the power."

"Oh? How do you achieve that?"

"Blood sacrifice, with one ceremony after another, find individuals who can survive under the pollution of the abyss. Even if they are not qualified to be the bearer of the rights of a great sin, they won’t be instantly backlashed."

"...How many people did you kill to achieve this?"

"If human lives were rice grains, it would fill a granary."

Even Helmer was silent hearing this.

He thought he was mad enough, bearing the pollution of the Four Gods of the Abyss; few in this world are crazier.

But he didn’t expect to find experts among those who worship the Four Gods of the Abyss.

"Don’t look at me like that, offering one’s life for my master’s grand ambition is their honor."

"Why haven’t you given yours then?"

"Who says we haven’t?"

"But wasn’t the authority of Envy your responsibility? Wrath was the result of the research by the Terror Slaughter Sect, right?"

"Yes."

"But from that mad dog’s memory, I learned that the ones who chose to help him were people from Terror Slaughter. Don’t tell me it was you disguised as them?"

"No, no, no, they were indeed people from the Terror Slaughter Sect."

"..."

"Hard to understand? Find a girl we can control, adopt a helpless younger brother, and then spread the news among the trafficker groups. Naturally, someone will act for wealth.

Lord Helmer, humans, or other species, are very easy to manipulate.

You just need to offer benefits and direct them to a target; there are always people willing to be fooled.

Advise them, and instead, they’ll resent you!

Don’t even mention those in the gray industry who have long since fed their conscience to the dogs; they’re no different from us, the Evil God Cultists.

And so, bam, an ignorant younger brother dies in front of an equally ignorant pawn.

Then, commission someone to cause an experimental accident, have our people step in as experimenters, allowing a girl, who had long joined us, to willingly give her life to the designated person.

Haha, then someone would go mad."

"But why involve the people of Terror Slaughter?"

"We told them."

"They wouldn’t oppose? I heard the relationship among your four sects is always bad."

"Indeed, it’s bad, but that doesn’t stop us." The Jianqi Pope’s smile was brimming, but the tone was indescribably cold, "We want to destroy the world, they want to ignite the fires of war; on this point, we don’t conflict."

Helmer was silent.

Even though he knew they had no bottom line, he was still amazed at their "dedication."

"The button for destruction is handed to you, what to do next, Lord Helmer, I don’t need to teach you, right?"

"Able to treat a great sin host as a disposable pawn, only you can do that." Helmer said calmly.

"Thank you for your prais—" The Jianqi Pope stared dumbfounded at the pitch-black bone sword piercing his chest. He looked up and saw Helmer’s smiling expression.

The next moment, the longsword piercing the Jianqi Pope slashed horizontally, tearing his body into pieces.

The blood splattered all over the ground.

Finally bisected, the Pope couldn’t hold back a cry of pain.

Helmer calmly wiped away the blood from the sword.

"Even as a Demon King, I don’t want to associate with livestock."

The Pope’s pain gradually fell silent, but the corners of his mouth curled into a strange smile, "Chosen by the Four Gods, you still think you’re something good?"

In the next moment, the sword light fell, smashing his head like a watermelon.

Helmer’s gaze turned to the horizon. After a moment, he activated the "switch" obtained from the Jianqi Pope.

The foolish great sin, Envy, never realized until his death that he was someone else’s dinner from the start.

Hopefully, the power unleashed at his death can truly harm those capable of threatening him.

Of course, he wasn’t speaking of that Prince of the Empire, but rather...

...

The roaring sound echoed once again.

The moment Envy died, an unprecedented pollution flowed out of his body.

Louis frowned and shielded Olivia behind him, looking sternly at the scene ahead.

"He’s not dead yet?"

"He’s dead." Olivia frowned and said, "His authority has already transferred to me."

"Then why..."

"There’s another possibility, the one causing chaos now is not Envy anymore."

The little swan murmured softly.

In this situation, Envy couldn’t help but die.

Did they really think the Necromancer Monet, who invested so much power, was just eating vegetables?

Even if they did eat vegetables, their magic certainly did not.

The great sin, Envy, was utterly dead.

So what had risen now?

Louis frowned and looked at the scene like this, suddenly said in a low voice:

"Looks like someone calculated it from the beginning, or rather, some existences below wanted to take the opportunity to engage with us for a long time."

"You mean..."

"Olivia, be ready. The real Abyssal God-chosen is about to descend."

At the cost of the final wail of a great sin, Envy, the summoning of the Terror God-chosen descent.

In an instant.

The sky and earth turned upside down.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a giant demon clad in bone armor appeared on the land.

Louis frowned, and the Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Pill appeared in his palm, transforming into a flexible serpent sword.

A serpent sword stabbed out.

The impact enveloped in astonishing power turned into a sword light that tore through the great entity.

The Star-piercing Sword, thirty-three consecutive strikes.

Even the Terror God-chosen had to retreat in the terrifying sword qi storm.

However, the good times didn’t last, and Louis felt a filthy force approaching.

Without hesitation, he turned his sword edge and slashed towards a corner.

The neighing of hooves echoed, followed by the blazing Abyssal Fire.

A large white bone sword clashed with Louis’s serpent sword.

The stunning impact pushed down patches of surrounding forests.

Merely the aftermath of the battle made those centenary trees fly to the sky like papers, flying to the periphery.

"Greed, your opponent is me."

The one who struck was none other than Demon King Helmer.

Louis didn’t speak; he activated the power of the Hero’s Sword within the Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Pill in an instant.

Holy Light spread over him but didn’t affect him in the slightest.

The power of the God of Glory and Justice spread out, deeply combining with his natural authority, the power erupted in an instant scorched Helmer’s body.

The two immediately separated after a clash.

Both watched each other with seriousness.

Louis thought to himself, "This Helmer, his strength is indeed a bit too strong."

He finally understood why, in every IF line, if this guy wasn’t dealt with in time, he’d leave a significant disaster on the Continent.

This guy, surprisingly able to exert Divine Realm powers on the Star Continent.

Indeed, like himself, he possesses power above the demigod level.

If there was any difference... he’s much stronger than himself.

Although he doesn’t seem to have as profound a foundation as the Emperor, this obvious gap is probably not something he can easily suppress in a short time.

Luckily, he still had his trump card.

The authority of the Hero’s Sword was madly activated.

The once Divine Artifact is now melted into the Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Pill.

The Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Pill, inheriting its power, granted Louis the ability to fight the Demon King beyond his level.

For a moment, the battle between the two fell into a deadlock.

And at this time, the Terror God-chosen, with a fierce gleam in his eyes, looked into the distance.
