This is a fragmented, chaotic place. The whims of gods and demons have left it scarred. In a world where everything is in disarray, living beings gather, hoping for dawn.
Both monsters and hu...
Chapter 239
Ark stood on the airship, gripping Deedri's greatsword tightly in his hand, like a demon looking down on an angel.
However, unlike Deedris, she did not undergo a transformation and remained standing there.
“Young one, now it’s time for you to choose your side,” the benevolent one said, smiling at Benny.
But Benny didn't want to talk to her; she only had eyes for that guy.
“Ark, if you come down from there, I can still take it as a joke,” Benny said. “You don’t look like a good person.”
"I'm sorry," Ark said, unbuttoning his robe and standing there shirtless.
The arm holding the greatsword began to slowly mutate, transforming the entire body along the blood vessels.
His entire body turned snow-white, and the wounds that should have been there began to turn black.
Then, in the next instant, a large chunk of his chest was shattered.
Benny rushed forward and landed a punch on it.
That is, the things you decide should be done.
Ark was thrown so hard that he tore through large sections of metal on the airship, and his wounds were healing at a visible speed.
Benny looked at her fist, then at Yak.
This was supposed to be an attack that would shatter his torso, and while it was effective, it did create a significant opening in his body.
But it was no use; such injuries were painless and insignificant to him.
Having had her momentum absorbed by the demonic seal, she thought to herself, and slowly took a step forward, a golden holy sword appearing in her hand.
Her pupils had turned completely golden, and holy magical power far exceeding her control began to accumulate forcibly on its own.
The night sky, which had been clear, suddenly became as if a heavenly cave had been opened, and everything in sight was dyed gold. She held a holy sword in her hand and softly recited scriptures.
Ark ran his other hand across his arm, and all the magic seals lit up. He gripped the greatsword tightly with both hands and raised it high as well.
The instant the holy magic and the magical power clashed, most of the airship collapsed, and Ark was inevitably thrown away. Golden light erupted from Bene's body, and the shockwave swept across the area almost instantly, killing the monsters within a hundred miles who were lying on the ground in fear.
Yak fell to the ground, landing face-first. The impact shattered large sections of rock, and he bounced up several times until he was firmly embedded in the rock.
Benny wanted to give chase, but the benevolent one grabbed her arm.
The ground, which should have been rocky, was suddenly covered with solid ice. A fierce wind suddenly arose from nowhere, and Benny realized that they had been surrounded by a tsunami that came from nowhere.
That's utter nonsense. This is on a plain, with no water source around. But she still saw a tsunami, a tsunami accompanied by howling winds.
"You don't think there's only one Demon God Seal, do you?" the Benevolent One said casually. She took out a scripture from her sleeve, opened it casually, cleared her throat, and then casually read a few passages from it.
The tsunami that was about to engulf the area suddenly stopped. The benevolent person casually touched the water droplets that had already splashed over, and the water turned into starlight.
The sea of light condensed in the air and transformed into hardened spears, densely piercing across the plain.
Benedict stood there silently, watching Ark disappear from sight.
He suddenly vanished from sight, leaving the area completely empty.
Even just now, that guy had been in his sight the whole time. But now he had disappeared so quickly, leaving only the golden spear stuck in its place.
Most of the airship was destroyed. The airship, which Lady had turned into metal, was almost completely destroyed by Benny's wave machine.
"The Demonic Seal of the God of Chaos," Benny said softly. "Didn't you deal with it?"
"To think that the Demon God Seal could be easily burned away by the Holy Fire is to overestimate us. In reality, you only killed that Demon God. You didn't handle the aftermath, so the Demon God Seal will be redistributed." The Benevolent One patted Benny on the shoulder: "That guy is now the enemy."
The Benevolent One did not continue the conversation with Benny, as the people inside the airship were not in good condition.
......
"Everyone's really here." The Guardian looked at what was in front of him. "This is an emergency meeting."
No one answered it; they just sat there, silent.
The only one left with any sparkle in his eyes was the Benevolent One, who was looking at Benny sitting opposite him with a smile, his head propped up.
It seems they've become friends; that's what people always think when they see that look in someone's eyes.
But looking at Benny, it didn't seem quite right. She looked very upset, almost furious.
Dedeline's sword was taken from her, and both of them were seriously injured.
Not to mention others.
If the benevolent one hadn't enveloped the entire airship with their domain, there probably wouldn't be a single survivor.
However, because there were many monsters among them, the guys simply thanked them and stayed together for the time being. The church didn't intend to interfere with these little guys; they could leave whenever they wanted.
This is the focus and core of the meeting.
As for the Demon God species, there is the Demon God Mark that possesses the Demon of Chaos and Calamity, and the Fusion Monster that possesses countless other Demon Marks—Ark.
“I didn’t find the Demon God’s Mark on him, that’s my mistake,” Benny said softly. “I thought the Demon God’s Mark had disappeared.”
Long ago, when Ark and Bene were working together, they fought against that demon species.
This demon god's seal is from that demon god's seed. It may not have the same destructive power as Lori's demon god's seal, but it is definitely the most troublesome demon god's seal.
The one who possesses this demonic seal is, in a sense, a jinx. They can summon tsunamis, unleash dense lightning bolts from the sky, cause fires that melt mountains, and unleash gales that can uproot fortresses.
It can also trigger a widespread plague, causing countless people to disappear into different spatial locations in an instant.
It is definitely not the strongest demon god seal, but it is definitely the most troublesome demon god seal.
“It’s normal that it wasn’t discovered. It’s alright. What’s done is done, so don’t blame yourself.” The benevolent one seemed quite relaxed. “Now we should think about how to deal with that guy named Ark.”
“That Demon God Seal was redistributed later,” the Guardian said. “They must have found the one who was assigned the Demon God Seal before us and seized it before he had even grown up.”
"Do they have the means to steal the Demon God Seal? Benevolent One, you said it took you a long time to find a way to transfer the Demon God Seal?" Benevolent One said, "It is something directly imprinted on the soul, and can only be compressed together and stored on the Demon Core, which is theoretically indestructible."
"I'm actually quite pleased that you still remember what I said," the Benevolent One said, clapping his hands. "Indeed, I did say that only parts of my body and those of the Immortals can meet the standard. I can't say for sure; I don't even know if I've ever accidentally lost a body. Perhaps my heart was stolen, I don't even know."
"That's not the point of our discussion right now. We should be discussing how to deal with that guy." The Arbiter's expression was equally grim. "Ya Shiri, you've dealt with that demonic species before. Do you know what to do?"
“I can say it was just a coincidence, because at the time I was just a paladin,” Benny said. “I really didn’t expect to be blessed in the middle of battle. I was just thinking about winning, and then I pointed my sword at… If it were random, could it be any species that exists in the world?”
"It's not truly random, or rather, if the Demon God had even a modicum of consciousness, he might choose it himself." The Guardian raised an eyebrow, opened his eyes, and nodded: "I see. The Demon God Seal was directly assigned to him?"
If the Demon God Seal was directly bestowed upon Ark, then indeed no preparations were needed, and he didn't need to obtain the Demon God Seal from anyone. Therefore, there was no need to consider how to remove it.
There's no need to worry about being attacked from behind.
"However, we can rest assured that none of us need to worry about contacting that guy," the Benevolent One said, looking at the other three. "He's just a Demon God Seed. Back then, we only had twelve Saints, but we had eighteen Demon God Seeds. But we still won, didn't we?"
“Yes, we have an absolute advantage in combat power, so there’s no need to worry about being defeated in this aspect.” The Arbiter paused and said, “I contacted other monster groups, and they said they have no connection with Ark. He is not on the side of the monsters, because just recently, he attacked the Flaros tribe.”
"For a matchbox?"
"Yes, that thing was stolen."
Its full name is "Demon God's Matchbox," a former weapon of the Demon God race. It was a tool used by the previous Demon God race of Flalos. It used its ability to compress immeasurable magical power into the size of a match; once lit and thrown, a single match could create a space resembling a pool of lava.
Their group was able to establish itself because of a matchbox containing three matches, enough to turn three human colonies into lava overnight.
“Although we don’t know where he’s going next, we do know that he needs to find a place to hide,” the benevolent man said. “It seems he’s planning to remove more city icons from the map.”
"This joke isn't funny."
“Benny, please recognize this. Ark has gone mad, and his actions seem to be aimed at destroying the world.” The Benevolent One looked at her with a playful smile: “I can understand it. This is a completely broken world, and if it can be rebuilt, it will be a good thing no matter what.”
"Whose side are you on?" Benny asked, looking at her with a hint of exasperation.
"Me? I don't care. Dead people are never something I need to worry about." The Benevolent One looked at her, resting his head on his hand, and said, "You're not a saint for the first time. As for humans, we only need a few hundred here."
"Shouldn't we protect humanity?" the Arbiter said softly. "We were originally humans who became saints."
“But extra humans aren’t of much use. Our resources are very limited, and deaths are a minor matter.” The benevolent one shrugged helplessly: “Try to understand our current priorities.”
“Don’t argue about this,” the Guardian said, looking at the Benevolent. “You seem much more cheerful than before.”
"I've just come to terms with it. Don't make it sound like I'm some kind of dark person." The Benevolent One casually asked, "What's the situation with the Immortal? Has he sent any messages back?"
“People live and work in peace and contentment; the safe zone there has been continuously increasing.” The Guardian said, “This is unprecedented; there has never been a situation where the safe zone could increase.”
“The increase in the safe zone is indeed a good thing, but we should be discussing Ark right now,” Benny said softly, rubbing her hair.
She looked a little weak; I had never seen Benny so weak before.
This is truly an eye-opening experience; it seems she has lost some kind of support.
From a long time ago, Ark's existence was somewhat like an obsession of hers.
She can't bring herself to say that she can still follow Yak regardless of right or wrong. After a year, she has realized how foolish she was before.
Ultimately, she still doesn't really know what kind of guy Ark is.
He is shrouded in mystery, and just when you think you understand him completely, even more incomprehensible things will happen.
Unfathomable individuals are frightening, and Ark is already quite an oddity. We have absolutely no idea what that guy's background is.
"I don't know. It's difficult for us to deal with a demon race that's been roaming the world." The Benevolent One hesitated for a moment, then looked at the Arbitrator sitting there: "Can I entrust this to you?"
“I’m not good at running away.” The adjudicator didn’t directly refuse, but put it another way: “Besides, I have no way of finding him anywhere in the world.”
“Your abilities should include teleportation,” Benny said after a moment’s hesitation. “Can’t you command yourself to go directly to a certain place?”
“Indeed, it is possible.” The judge said softly, “But I must make my orders very precise. So I usually leave something behind so that you can directly say that I am being teleported to a certain place. I have been trying to preserve such teleportation points, but unfortunately, I really can’t find any materials that can be left in the Chaos Realm for more than a year.”
"So I've never seen you use it." The benevolent one sighed helplessly.
"Let me correct you. I use it frequently when I'm out clearing out monsters, you just haven't seen it," the Arbitrator added.
"So now only you can try to catch that guy. Do you have any problems dealing with him?"
“No problem,” the Arbitrator said. “I am a saint meant for combat.”
