It is based on the imperial capital that was destroyed in a sacrifice thousands of years ago. It carries the dreams and hopes of countless people and is almost equivalent to the heaven on earth depicted in the Hall of the King of France.
Because there is no hunger, cold, suffering, exploitation, slavery, or oppression here. Everyone is equal, whether they are commoners, nobles, or priests, even those monster-like apostles are no exception.
People of different identities, statuses and races live in unprecedented harmony here.
Even the most critical person can't help but feel that Eagle City is a beacon of hope in this dark world.
It is like a beam of light that illuminates the surroundings, bringing brightness and warmth to those who are in despair.
But no one knows that the Eagle of Light Griffith who shaped all of this is the fifth Hand of God - "Wings of Darkness" Femont.
Some people even regard this devil as the savior, Messiah and angel, and firmly believe that he is the chosen one sent by God to save themselves and the world.
Without a doubt, this is another typical routine of the God of the Abyss, that is, first giving hope and then extinguishing hope with his own hands, causing people to fall into endless despair and continue to struggle and sink.
Only in this way can the dark side of human nature be stimulated to the maximum extent, allowing human beings to constantly look for reasons, reasons for pain, reasons for anger, reasons for life, reasons for death, and then release their evil desires under extreme repression, and through the sacrifice of demon-exorcising rituals, every person's spirit and soul can be woven through this connection, weaving everyone's destiny and binding them firmly within the law of cause and effect.
So although on the surface it seemed that the Eagle City took in refugees whose homes were destroyed in the war and provided them with a safe haven where they could shelter from the wind and rain without having to worry about being robbed, violently assaulted, or killed, in reality it was actually raising pigs.
However, what the God of the Abyss wants is not any material things, but the spiritual obedience of all human beings, so that they can eventually become one with his huge evil intentions.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why, although this world has already invented hot weapons such as gunpowder and cannons, they have never been widely used.
It is obvious that the God of the Abyss does not like the advancement of science and technology, and does not want to see the living standards of human beings improved, or even to get rid of barbarism and ignorance and become more rational.
Because all of this will lead to earth-shaking changes in the social structure and environment, and greatly reduce the pain and suffering that people endure on the physical and mental levels.
If a person has never actually gone hungry or cold, and has never experienced the powerlessness of seeing his family and friends die in front of him, he will never understand the kind of despair that can drive a person crazy.
It is precisely this kind of people who will look for reasons and desire to break away from material things and pursue beliefs and gods that transcend the individual.
Compared with this extreme pain, the various so-called "anxieties" that people in modern society suffer are not worth mentioning at all.
Since the establishment of the Eagle City, Griffith began to select his confidants from among the apostles to re-establish the Eagle Group, and began to actively expand outward to annex the surrounding villages and towns, absorbing the fleeing refugees at all costs.
Now it is gradually taking on the look of a country.
However, this is not a secular regime, but a theocracy established by the priests who fled from the French Royal Court.
And Griffith the Eagle of Light is that god, the Messiah who is destined to save the world.
But at this moment, the face of this "savior" was not very good.
The reason is simple! He saw a person, a "beloved" who once made him obsessed and even gave up his dream and fell into hell for her, but also an enemy who swore to make him pay the price in the sacrifice ceremony.
"Griffith!!!!!!!"
After seeing the other person's extremely familiar beautiful face, Guts suddenly became furious and his facial expression instantly became extremely ferocious. The brand on his body kept oozing blood and produced an intense burning sensation and pain that could not be described in words.
“…”
Griffith remained silent as always, just staring at the other person with his eyes flashing with silver light.
As for Princess Sharlut, who had come all the way to find him at the risk of her life, she was simply ignored.
Because in his eyes, even Casca, who had followed him through thick and thin since childhood, was ultimately nothing more than a tool to humiliate Guts and satisfy some evil desires, not to mention this crappy princess who had never invested even a little bit of emotion in him from the beginning and was not even qualified to be a sacrifice.
If it wasn't for the purpose of usurping the throne of the Kingdom of Midland, he wouldn't even have given it a second glance.
"G...Griffith!"
Sharlut was extremely excited to see her beloved again, and immediately wanted to rush up and hug the man who had been haunting her dreams.
But before she could get close, she was blocked by a gigantic apostle.
Especially the apostle's blood-red eyes, which instantly frightened the innocent princess so much that she collapsed on the ground, her face full of fear.
When she tried to look at Griffith for help, she found that there was only Guts' reflection in Griffith's eyes.
As for myself...
Just like a stranger on the street.
moment!
The beautiful dream of love in Charlotte's heart was shattered, and was replaced by an unprecedented clarity of mind.
She finally realized that Gus was right. This man had never loved her, but only used her as a stepping stone and tool on his way to power.
But now Griffith no longer needs me who is of no use to him.
Thinking of this, the princess of the Midland Kingdom shed tears of sadness and regret. She no longer had any fear even when facing the huge apostle in front of her. She just sat there paralyzed, waiting for death to come.
Because for her, there is nothing left in this world worth lingering for.
Her country has been occupied by Hansel, and her only relative, the father, is a beast. She finally escapes and wants to reunite with her beloved, only to find out that the other person has never loved her at all.
She seemed to be living in a huge lie and joke, with almost nothing except the title of princess.
Fortunately, the apostle did not kill the harmless princess of the Midland Kingdom. Instead, he pushed her to the side with his huge tentacles to avoid being affected in the subsequent battle.
"Gus! It's been a long time! I heard you've gotten stronger?"
Zod, who maintained his human form, took the lead and stepped forward carrying a big knife, obviously intending to reminisce with his "old friend".
As a battle maniac, no one is happier than him to see Guts today.
"Get lost! Zod! I don't have time to play with you right now!"
Guts rushed forward and swung the Dragon Slayer Sword, trying to knock the opponent away with his strengthened body and brute force.
But unfortunately, he obviously underestimated Zod's power.
As one of the top apostles, Zod possesses strength, speed, experience and fighting will that other apostles do not possess.
Otherwise, he would have been killed by the Skeleton Knight's sword in repeated battles with him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Accompanied by the deafening sound of huge weapons that seemed like heavy iron blocks colliding with each other, this fateful battle finally began.
However, just like when they first met, Guts was still alone, while Griffith still had quite a number of subordinates.
"Hahahaha! That's right! That's it! Come on, let's fight to our heart's content. Don't even think about taking one step forward until you defeat me!"
Zod grinned and laughed wildly, with an expression of excitement and enjoyment appearing on his ferocious face.
But after about ten seconds he couldn't laugh anymore.
The reason was very simple. How could the crudely made iron weapon in his hand possibly be a match for the Dragon-Slaying Sword that was strengthened and enchanted by Zuo Si himself?
After just a few collisions, a huge gap appeared on the blade, and it was eventually cut in two. A huge wound half a meter long also appeared on his chest, and blood gushed out like water.
"I'll say this one last time! Get out of here! Or I'll chop off your head with the next blow!"
There was a terrifying murderous intent flashing in Guts' eyes.
Only at this moment did he truly realize how powerful he had become.
The "immortal" Zod, who once had to be looked up to and was even impossible to defeat, was now severely damaged before he could even withstand a few moves.
This undoubtedly gave him great confidence as he was about to challenge the Hand of God.
"Asshole! How dare you look down on me?"
Zod instantly became angry and turned into a huge bull-horned monster, waving his claws violently to teach Guts a lesson.
Even the wound on his body, which seemed absolutely fatal to ordinary people, was completely healed after he became an apostle.
"You asked for this!"
Seeing that Zod was so tactless, Guts didn't intend to show any mercy anymore. He directly called upon the huge soul energy in his body to strengthen his physical fitness, and rushed forward like a cannonball.
boom!!!!!!
Accompanied by a deafening air explosion, Zod barely blocked the attack with the remaining half of his sword.
But what he couldn't believe was that he was actually at a disadvantage in terms of strength. His huge body was forced to retreat twenty or thirty meters before he could barely stabilize himself, and a deep groove was left under his feet.
You know, one of his arms is even thicker than Gus' waist, and his muscles bulge like rocks.
shock!
Shocked!
incredible!
Just look at the expression on Zod's face at this moment and you will know how uneasy this guy is inside.
After all, he has always regarded Guts as a potential rival and junior.
But now, this junior has surpassed me overnight.
“Go to hell!!!!”
Guts was so furious that he had no intention of remembering the old times. He swung the sword in his hand and started to chop wildly without any rules.
In a flash!
Zod's broken blade was already riddled with holes and could not bear the weight. In a moment of carelessness, even the hand holding the blade was cut off at the wrist. He could only flap his wings suddenly and fly into the air to avoid the opponent's fierce attack.
Upon seeing this, the fire dragon giant, Guren Belud, immediately rushed forward carrying a shield and a heavy war hammer.
Bang! He first used his shield to block the attack of the Dragon Slayer Sword, and then used his war hammer to hit Guts' head, intending to kill this sacrifice who dared to challenge the Hand of God.
But just as the hammer was swung, a huge expanding fireball suddenly appeared out of nowhere and exploded right in his face.
With a loud bang, Gulenberudo rolled backwards quickly. When he was stabbed, most of his face had been completely burnt, especially the left side, where his teeth and gums were even exposed.
Although he himself did not see clearly what happened, it was not difficult to judge from Zod's stunned reaction above his head that the fireball magic was released by Guts not far away.
"Is this the power that guy gave you?"
Griffith finally broke the silence and asked.
As the Hand of God who had seen Zuo Si with his own eyes and felt his power, he was certainly not as ignorant as the other apostles. He understood that this was an opponent that even the God of the Abyss was wary of, and he had to deal with him with caution.
The reason why he did not take action just now and allowed his apostles to go up and test it was because of this idea.
"Why, are you beginning to feel frightened?"
Guts's eyes revealed naked and undisguised hatred.
But Griffith responded calmly: "If that's all your strength is, they can easily get rid of you without my help."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Grunberdo, whose face and eyes were burned, instantly transformed into a giant flaming dragon covered with red and black crystals, and opened his mouth to spit out a breath of flames that was even hotter than the fireball that exploded just now.
boom!!!!!!
Guts' figure was completely engulfed in an instant.
The horrifying scene frightened the young knight who was escorting Princess Sharlut so much that he fell to his knees, looking like a fool.
If Zod's transformation into a bull-horned monster was barely acceptable to him, then Grunberdo's form as a fire crystal dragon completely overturned his cognition, and he even doubted whether this world was still the world he lived in.
Just when Grunberdo thought that his fire breath had solved the threat, Griffith suddenly spoke up and warned: "Be careful! Guts, who is already a chosen one, won't die so easily."
Before he finished speaking!
A black figure suddenly rushed out from the flames, with silver-white light blooming all over his body. All flames would be pushed away by an invisible force when they approached this light.
The next second...
The huge dragon-slaying sword fell straight down, instantly shattering the scales on the Flame Crystal Dragon's back that were as hard as steel, and penetrated deeply into them, damaging the fragile internal organs protected inside.
As the blood gushed out like magma, the severely injured Grunberdo immediately spat out a large amount of blood from his mouth and let out a painful cry.
"No!!!! How is this possible!"
"Die! Griffith's dog!"
The extreme hatred and anger undoubtedly completely aroused the power of the elect in Guts.
Just when he was about to kill the Flame Crystal Dragon Apostle in one go, an extremely sharp arrow suddenly flew through the air, so fast that it almost surpassed the speed of sound and left no time for people to react.
But at the critical moment, Guts used the blade of the Dragon Slaying Sword as a shield to block the fatal sneak attack.
With a crisp clang sound, the huge arrow was successfully blocked by the indestructible giant sword.
After passing through the gap of the hilt, Guts saw an apostle in the distance who looked like a combination of a man and a deer, using deer antlers as bow arms and aiming at him.
Obviously, he is another powerful apostle under Griffith's command - the magic bow archer Abaying.
After realizing how powerful Guts was, these apostles no longer relied on fighting alone, but began to want to kill the enemies of the Hand of God through group fights.
With the Magic Archer joining the battle, Moonlight Knight - Laugus also quickly transformed into a metallic centaur form. Like a flash of light, he raised the sharp spear in his hand, trying to pierce Guts' chest and kill him.
Facing the siege of so many powerful apostles, Guts not only did not retreat, but continued to burn the power of the chosen ones in his body to strengthen himself, and fought a life-and-death battle with the enemy like an indomitable fighter.
In just a few minutes, the area was completely reduced to ruins by the inhuman forces of both sides.
The ordinary human soldiers who were originally loyal to Griffith wanted to rush up to help, but hundreds of them died the moment they entered the battlefield. Not even a complete body was left. They were basically chopped into pieces or exploded on the spot by an unknown force in an instant.
The naked eye of ordinary people even finds it difficult to capture the movements and afterimages of both parties.
There is no doubt that this is an outright proxy war.
One side is the world will represented by the God of the Abyss, and the other side is the outsider represented by Zuo Si.
Just when Guts was fighting fiercely with these powerful apostles, a dazzling black-red beam of light suddenly fell from the sky, instantly creating a huge pit hundreds of meters deep on the ground.
Then, a golden-haired girl wearing silver and red armor descended from the sky. She held the sword on her shoulder in a very manly manner, laughed and said, "Hahahaha! Gus, my friend, you are so mean. Why didn't you inform me in advance of such a fun thing?"
"Mordred? You...why are you here!?"
Gus froze in place for a moment.
He couldn't believe even in his dreams that this young general who always gave people a sense of being out of tune would actually interfere in the feud between him and Griffith.
"Hehe! Of course it's for fun! How can I be absent from such a fun thing? Besides, the Eagle of Light is also our enemy."
Mordred's face was filled with excitement and joy.
Because she had obtained little Annie's permission, she no longer had to restrain her strength and could cause as much trouble as she wanted without worrying about the serious consequences of causing huge damage.
"So you're here to help me?"
The anger and hatred in Guts' eyes obviously faded a little, and there was even a hint of emotion.
He originally thought that after he rejected the other party's solicitation, their fate would end there.
But who would have thought that this reckless young general would come all the way to help him complete his revenge at the critical moment.
This favor is significant in every way.
"No! I repeat, I'm here to have fun."
After saying this, Mordred ignored Guts's reaction and directly released his own Noble Phantasm - the shining royal sword - in the direction of Griffith.
Boom!!!! The huge amount of magic power was released and instantly formed a black and red destructive lightning column.
Even Griffith, the Hand of God, couldn't help but change his expression slightly at the terrifying force, and he directly drew the sword hanging at his waist to resist.
But unfortunately it was all too late.
The moment the sword was raised, his entire body was hit by red electric light, and then he flew out like a tattered rag doll, rolling on the ground, and bounced back after hitting a rock. The white armor that originally exuded a holy aura became bumpy and even severely deformed.
All the apostles and believers who worshiped the Eagle of Light around showed expressions of shock and disbelief when they saw this scene.
The reason is simple! They saw blood splattering from Griffith's mouth and face!
As we all know, God cannot shed blood.
Because from a philosophical perspective, once God bleeds, he no longer has divinity, but can be killed like a mortal.
The same is true of Griffith as the savior and messiah.
When he stopped and struggled to get up from the ground, the holy light on his body had disappeared, replaced by a dark demon king - "Dark Wing" Femont.
Only in this state can he maximize the power of the law of cause and effect.
"Why, you don't want to pretend to be your savior anymore?"
Mordred pursed his lips and sneered sarcastically.
Obviously, with her rebellious personality, she had long been fed up with the disgusting hypocrisy of the Eagle of Light.
"Outsider! You're playing with fire!"
Griffith raised his head and revealed his evil, deep eyes.
"Humph! Stop talking nonsense! I want to see what kind of attack your law of causality can withstand."
Mordred was obviously a man of action. Without even a word, he continued to inject magic power to maximize the power of the Brilliant King Sword.
As the scarlet electric light began to flash again, Griffith no longer hid but instantly used the power of space to teleport to Mordred's side. He raised his hand and wanted to seize the sword that exuded a terrifying aura and cursed power.
But unfortunately, he obviously did not understand the relationship between the Noble Phantasm and the Heroic Spirit.
Especially for a heroic spirit like Mordred who has been strengthened by the Planeswalker, each attribute and ability has reached the pinnacle of its own growth potential.
Without even a second's hesitation, Mordred released his magic power towards the nearby enemy and slashed at him fiercely.
Although the Hand of God controls the law of cause and effect and can foresee the future to a certain extent, that is only for the humans in this world controlled by the God of the Abyss.
Mordred is not a native of this world, and is not involved in any cause and effect, so her actions are unpredictable.
As a result, Griffith was knocked to the ground again by the shining king's sword, and a deep wound appeared on his shoulder.
But the wound only lasted for less than a second before disappearing instantly.
Obviously, for the Hand of God, as long as the person is not killed in one blow, no matter what kind of injury he suffers, he can immediately recover by reversing cause and effect.
Just as Guts on the other side was about to rush up to join the battle to encircle and kill Griffith, a slight vibration suddenly came from the ground, and then became more and more violent and clearer.
In less than three or five minutes, a fully armed army appeared on the horizon.
Among them were elephant demons that had been modified to be larger than mammoths, as well as heavily armed cavalry and heavy infantry wearing armor. There were so many of them that they were so densely packed that one could not see the end at a glance.
There is no doubt that this army is none other than the Kusha Empire, which has been eyeing them covetously.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be that the Emperor saw Guts and Mordred attacking the Eagle of Light, so he wanted to take the opportunity to intervene.
It would be great if we could use the other party's hand to eliminate this biggest threat.
In fact, Emperor Kong has always been a king who values talents very much and has great ambitions.
Otherwise, when he saw Guts's indomitable spirit and tenacity in resisting fate, he would not have immediately wanted to recruit him under his command.
Now that he sees such a good opportunity, it would be a problem if he doesn't take some action.
Without any hesitation or hesitation! After entering the attack range, the army of the Kusha Empire rushed directly towards the magnificent walls of the Eagle City without even saying hello.
In particular, the elephant demons that were like heavy tanks and battering rams were about to crash into the city gate at the entrance.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The completely unprepared New Eagle Army was instantly stunned by the sudden and powerful enemy. The arrows that fell like raindrops slaughtered the refugees who gathered near the wall without any protection.
Accompanied by shrill screams, the entire Eagle City instantly fell into chaos and panic.
Even the apostles stepped forward to help but were unable to save the situation.
Because the essence of the Monster Legion is a group of pseudo-apostles, they do not have any advantage in combat power, but are at a disadvantage in numbers.
There is no doubt that the Emperor of Terror wants to use this method to destroy Griffith's dreams, beliefs and ambitions and plant the seeds of fear deep in his heart.
"Charge! Fearless Kushan warriors! Emperor Gnishuka has issued an order! No one in this city shall be spared!"
"Long live the Great Emperor! Let these weaklings weep under our spears and scimitars!"
"The Kusha Empire is invincible!"
…
Amid the excited shouts of the Kushan Empire's officers and soldiers, a ruthless and brutal massacre began.
These refugees who Griffith had promised would be protected were killed one by one and their heads chopped off right under his nose. The women were pinned to the ground and gang-raped by the soldiers who had rushed into the city, causing them to wail in agony and despair.
The purgatory-like scene deeply stimulated the most sensitive nerves in Griffith's heart.
Of course, this was not because he had any sympathy or remorse for the refugees who were massacred, but because he was angry that his ideals and ambitions were trampled upon, and by the apostles who were regarded as slaves by the Hand of God.
As an extremely selfish person, Griffith never cared about other people's feelings, let alone how many people would die in order to realize his ideals and ambitions.
All he wanted was a result, a placebo to fill his empty heart.
Because apart from this he has nothing left.
"Hahahaha! Well done! Monarch of the Kusha Empire! This is worthy of a war between demons! Come on, make the fight even more brutal!"
A creepy red light flashed in Mordred's eyes, and then he raised the fully charged Brilliant King Sword and chopped it down with force.
moment!
The dazzling red light directly split the Eagle City in half.
The majestic and magnificent palace located on the central axis was directly wiped out, along with all the houses, buildings, city walls and people along this line.
Of course, the army of the Kushan Empire also suffered considerable losses as a result.
But the good news is that there are two huge holes in the city wall.
They no longer needed to squeeze through the narrow city gates. The cavalry and war elephants could rush directly into the gaps in the city walls, surrounding and slaughtering the defenders who were still trying to resist.
"Kill them all! Burn them all!
Sold out!
Raze this eyesore city to the ground!
What the hell is this Hand of God!
I am the Great Emperor!
Conquer, ravage and rule the most lands in the world!
Any enemy who attempts to block my path will be wiped out!"
The Emperor of Terror directly transformed into a huge thundercloud in the sky, continuously releasing lightning with extremely destructive power towards the Eagle City below.
In just a short while, this once prosperous, clean city that symbolized hope was reduced to scorched earth and rubble.
He kept rubbing salt into Griffith's wounds in the most murderous way.
"NO!!!!!!!!! How dare you?"
Griffith was obviously extremely angry. He immediately used teleportation to leave Mordred behind and flew straight towards the Terror Emperor in mid-air.
He might be able to tolerate outsiders like Mordred and Guts, who became the Chosen One of Zuo Si, challenging him, but he absolutely could not accept another apostle trampling on his ideals and ambitions.
It's like a person can accept being humiliated by another stronger person, but can never accept being humiliated by a dog.
In the eyes of God's Hand, the apostle is just a dog who must obey his orders.
Looking at the Hand of God rushing towards him, the Emperor of Terror did not hesitate for even a second and directly released his lightning with all his strength, wanting to kill this enemy that exuded a terrifying aura.
Unfortunately, all the lightning was blocked by an invisible force field the moment it hit Griffith.
The power he was so proud of was completely ineffective in front of the Hand of God.
Not only that!
The moment Griffith came close, an unprecedented fear enveloped the Emperor's heart.
He began to tremble uncontrollably, as if an animal had encountered its natural enemy, and Thundercloud's apostle form began to lose its hold and slowly turned back into human form.
Plop! The Emperor of Terror, who had always been the only one to kneel before him, actually knelt before the Hand of God, and his entire body was covered in sweat within a few seconds.
Despite being much taller and bigger than the other, in his eyes Griffith was as tall as a giant.
The absolute suppression from the mental and soul level made the arrogant Emperor feel for the first time what it meant to be powerless and desperate.
No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he couldn't muster the slightest desire to resist at this moment.
Surrender!
Surrender!
Surrender!
These two words kept echoing in the Emperor's mind, and every cell from head to toe was trembling.
At the critical moment when his reason and self-esteem were about to collapse, he suddenly took out the potion that Governor Madir had brought back from his arms, bit open the cork and drank it in one gulp.
Just a moment!
An uncontrollable anger and unwillingness surged from the bottom of my heart, and then completely dispelled the fear and awe in my heart.
Then the king of the Kushan Empire let out a deafening roar.
"I will never submit to anyone! I am the king of the world! I am destined to be the ruler of this world! Not even God can make me bow my noble head!"
"No, you're just a dog, and dogs are supposed to obey their masters."
Griffith said in a cold and emotionless tone.
Unfortunately, after drinking the potion and entering a violent state, the Emperor of Terror is no longer subject to the oppression of the Hand of God. He instantly transformed into a huge thundercloud again and launched a violent attack on the opponent.
Because he had already seen that Mordred, who had just fought with Griffith, had arrived.
Maybe he couldn't hurt Griffith with his strength, but Mordred definitely had the ability to do so.
"Don't even think about escaping! Take my sword!"
Mordred rushed forward and launched a fierce attack without saying a word.
In her hands, [The Brilliant and Glorious Royal Sword] exerted a power that was no less powerful than the Sword of Promised Victory. Often, one strike could destroy everything within an attack radius of hundreds or even thousands of meters.
In particular, the extremely terrifying slashing blows had formed huge cracks on the ground that were more than ten meters wide and hundreds of meters deep.
There were even many apostles who were unable to dodge and died inexplicably in the aftermath of the treasure.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Griffith suddenly raised his hand to release the law of causality, forcibly pushing Mordred dozens of meters away, turned around and planned to deal with the Emperor of Terror first.
But he overlooked the fact that the Emperor was not a stubborn fighting maniac. After realizing the gap between him and the Hand of God, he had no intention of continuing to fight head-on. Instead, he instantly distanced himself and wanted to let Mordred become Griffith's opponent.
As a result, when Griffith released his power, he found that the Emperor had flown a considerable distance away and was constantly releasing lightning to interfere with him.
Just as he was about to use the power of causality to pull the other side over, another army appeared behind the Kusha Empire and launched a charge at an unimaginable speed, instantly destroying the rear of the Kusha Empire's army.
And it goes without saying that this army is the Kingdom of Midland that fell into Hansel's hands.
He himself turned into a huge spiritual mouth and fell from the sky, and began to devour the souls of the dead on the battlefield like a glutton.
When the quasi-divine power symbolizing death, spirit, and soul completely enveloped the battlefield and the sky above Eagle City, both Griffith and Emperor Terror had expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.
Because this power that should only belong to God is obviously far beyond their understanding and imagination.
Even the apostles could not resist this force. Their souls were forcibly pulled out of their twisted bodies and turned into delicious snacks in Hansel's mouth.
Especially the sound he made when chewing souls, ordinary people simply could not bear it, and they all collapsed and began to flee in all directions.
At this point, this war, which was ostensibly between mortals, finally turned into a war between demons.
"Damn it! What on earth happened in this world?"
After killing the arch magicer Abaying, Guts looked up at the obscured sky and the horrific scene around him that he didn't know how to describe in words. He was completely dazed.
He had no idea why his personal feud with Griffith had ended up like this.
"G...Gus!"
Just as Gus was stunned, a woman with wheat-colored skin, long black hair, and a silly look stumbled towards him.
"Casca? Why are you here?!"
Gus' pupils suddenly dilated, and he quickly opened his arms and hugged the woman.
It goes without saying that this woman is his lover, Casca, who was raped by Griffith after he ascended to demon status and suffered a complete mental breakdown and fell into a dazed state.
He remembered clearly that he entrusted it to the blacksmith's family before leaving.
"Children...children..."
Casca looked up at the Eagle of Light standing tall in the sky and began to cry.
"Child? What do you mean?"
Guts frowned subconsciously, not understanding what Casca was trying to say.
Since she was raped and suffered a mental breakdown, Casca has become crazy, stupid, and even completely lost her memories of the past, like an ignorant baby.
Only when faced with external stimulation will he suddenly regain some rationality.
But unfortunately, Casca did not regain her sanity this time. She just kept repeating the word "child" and stared at Griffith with a complicated look.
Before Guts could figure out the situation, Griffith, who was always calm, rational and never angry, finally exploded when he saw the Eagle City had been completely reduced to ruins and a waiting scene.
A scarlet Overlord Egg suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air.
Then the entire battlefield was instantly pulled into a strange and terrifying space.
Guts, who had similar experiences before, realized in an instant that this was the "Eclipse Moment".
Apparently, for some unknown reason, Griffith has launched the Sacrifice again.
The four hands of God are already standing at the highest point, looking down at the gods like gods.
Countless apostles that had never been seen before rushed out from the twisted castle around them and launched a ruthless massacre on all humans. The scene was exactly the same as what happened to the Eagle Group last time.
The only difference is that this time there are not only the Hand of God and the apostles, but also Mordred, Hansel and those transformed officers and soldiers of the Midland Kingdom.
So this is not a one-sided massacre, but a war between demons.
"Look! Here are two living sacrifices!"
An apostle apparently noticed the marks on Guts and Casca, and immediately revealed an ecstatic expression while opening his bloody mouth full of fangs.
But in a flash, his huge octopus body was cut in half by the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and blood plasma and minced meat splashed all over the faces of the apostles who arrived later.
