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 worshipped 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.

很显然，性格叛逆的她早就看不惯光之鹰那令人作呕的副虚伪样子了。

“外来者！你在玩火！”

格里菲斯抬起头露出那双邪恶深邃的眼睛。

“哼！少废话！我倒要看看你的因果律究竟可以承受住怎样的攻击。”

莫德雷德显然是个行动派，连一句废话都没有就开始继续注入魔力最大限度释放灿然辉耀王剑的力量。

伴随着赤红色的电光开始再次闪耀，格里菲斯也不再隐藏而是瞬间使用空间力量瞬移到莫德雷德的身边，抬起手就想要夺取那柄散发着恐怖气息和诅咒力量的宝剑。

但是很可惜，他显然并不了解宝具与英灵之间的关系。

尤其是莫德雷德这种被旅法师强化过的英灵，各项属性和能力都已经达到了其自身成长潜力的顶点。

莫德雷德连一秒钟都没有犹豫，反手就对准近在咫尺的敌人释放魔力并狠狠砍了过去。

尽管神之手掌握着因果律，可以在一定程度上预见未来，可那都是针对受到深渊之神控制的这个世界的人类。

而莫德雷德一不是这个世界的土著，二没有卷入任何因果之中，所以她的动作是无法被预料到的。

结果格里菲斯再次被灿然辉耀的王剑掀翻在地，肩膀上更是多出了一条深可见骨的伤口。

但这道伤口仅仅维持了不到一秒钟就瞬间消失。

很显然，对于神之手来说，只要不是一击毙命，无论受了怎样的伤都可以马上通过逆转因果恢复如初。

就在另外一边的格斯也想要冲上去加入这场围杀格里菲斯的战斗时，地面上突然传来了轻微的震动，随后变得越来越剧烈、越来越清晰。

大概不到三五分钟的功夫，一支全副武装的大军就这样出现在地平线上。

其中既有经过改造后体型比猛犸象还要巨大的象魔，也有全副武装披挂着铠甲的重骑兵和重步兵，数量多到密密麻麻一眼望不到尽头。

毫无疑问，这支大军不是别人，正是一直虎视眈眈的库夏帝国。

不出意外的话，应该是恐帝看到了格斯与莫德雷德向光之鹰发起攻击，因此想要借机来插上一脚。

如果能借对方的手铲除这个最大的威胁那就再好不过了。

事实上恐帝一直都是个非常爱惜人才且相当雄才大略的君王。

否则也不会在看到格斯身上那种反抗命运的不屈与坚韧时，立马就想要将其招揽至自己的麾下。

现在他看到如此好的机会要是不采取点行动那才有问题呢。

没有任何犹豫或彷徨！ 在进入攻击范围之后，库夏帝国的军队连一声招呼都不打就直接冲向鹰之都那宏伟壮丽的城墙。

尤其是一头头宛如重型坦克兼破城锤一样的象魔，将至就撞向了位于入口的城门。

轰！轰！轰！轰！ 完全没有准备的新鹰之团军队瞬间被突如其来的强大敌人打蒙了，如同雨点般落下的弓箭更是肆意屠杀着那些聚集在围墙附近的没有任何防护的难民。

伴随着刺耳的尖叫声，整个鹰之都瞬间陷入了一片混乱与惶恐之中。

即便有使徒站出来帮忙也没能挽回局势。

因为妖兽军团的本质就是一群伪使徒，因此他们在战斗力上并不占什么便宜，反而在数量上落了下风。

毫无疑问，恐帝想要用这种方式摧毁格里菲斯的梦想、信念和野心，把恐惧的种子种在对方的内心深处。

“冲啊！无所畏惧的库夏勇士们！格尼修卡大帝有令！这座城市鸡犬不留！”

“大帝万岁！让这些软弱的废物在我们的长矛与弯刀下哭泣吧！”

“库夏帝国战无不胜！”

……

在库夏帝国军官和士兵们兴奋的呐喊声中，一场毫不留情的惨烈屠杀开始了。

这些被格里菲斯许诺会受到保护的难民，就这样在他的眼皮子底下被一个一个的干掉、割下脑袋，女人更是被冲进城内的士兵按在地上轮爆发出痛苦绝望的哀嚎。

那宛如炼狱般的景象深深刺激了格里菲斯内心之中最敏感的神经。

当然，这并不是他对那些遭到屠杀的难民有什么同情心或感到自责，而是愤怒于自己的理想与野心遭到了践踏，而且还是被神之手视作奴仆的使徒践踏。

作为一个极度自私的人，格里菲斯从来不在乎别人的感受，更不在意为实现理想和野心会有多少人因此而丧命。

他想要的只是一个结果，一个能够填补自己空虚内心的安慰剂。

因为除了这个之外他已经一无所有。

“哈哈哈哈！干得漂亮！库夏帝国的君主！这才配得上是一场魔神的战争！来吧，让厮杀变得更惨烈一点！”

莫德雷德眼睛里绽放着令人毛骨悚然的红光，随后高举充能完毕的灿然辉耀王剑用力砍了下去。

瞬间！

刺眼的红光直接把鹰之都从中间一分为二。

位于中轴线上雄伟华丽的宫殿更是直接被抹除掉，连带着这条线上所有的房屋、建筑、城墙和人。

当然，库夏帝国的军队也因此而蒙受了相当大的损失。

不过好消息是，城墙上多出了两个巨大的口子。

他们不需要再去挤狭小的城门，骑兵和战象可以直接从城墙的豁口冲进去，对那些还在尝试着抵抗的守军进行包围和屠杀。

“杀光！ 烧光！

抢光！

给我把这座碍眼的城市夷为平地！

什么狗屁神之手！

吾乃大帝！

征服、蹂躏和统治世界上最多土地的君王！

任何妄图阻挡吾前进道路上的敌人统统都将灰飞烟灭！”

恐帝直接化作天空中巨大的雷云，不断向下方的鹰之都释放破坏力巨大的闪电。

才没过一会儿功夫，这座原本繁荣、整洁、象征着希望的城市就化作一片焦土跟瓦砾。

他用最杀人诛心的方式一刻也不停歇的在格里菲斯伤口上撒盐。

“不！！！！！！！！你怎么敢？”

格里菲斯显然出离了愤怒，立刻通过瞬间移动撇下莫德雷德，径直飞向位于半空中的恐帝。

他或许可以容忍像莫德雷德这样的外来者，以及成为左思选民的格斯挑战自己，但绝对无法接受另外一个使徒践踏自己的理想与野心。

这就好像人可以接受自己被另外一个更强的人羞辱，可是却永远接受不了自己被一条狗羞辱。

而使徒在神之手的眼中就是一条必须听命于自己的狗。

看着迎面冲上来的神之手，恐帝连一秒钟都没有犹豫，直接全力释放自己的雷电，想要把这个散发着恐怖气息的敌人杀死。

只可惜，所有的雷电在击中格里菲斯的刹那，全部都被一层无形的力场挡了下来。

他引以为傲的力量在神之手的面前完全失效了。

不仅如此！

当格里菲斯来到近前的刹那，一股前所未有的恐惧笼罩在恐帝的心头。

他开始不由自主的颤栗，就好像动物遇到了自然界的天敌，而且雷云的使徒形态也开始维持不住慢慢变回人类的样子。

扑通！ 向来只有别人跪他的恐帝居然跪在了神之手的面前，全身上下在几秒钟之内便被汗水尽头。

尽管身高和体型要远比对方大得多，但在他的眼中格里菲斯却高大的就如同巨人一样。

那种来自精神与灵魂层面的绝对压制，让狂妄的恐帝第一次感受到了什么叫做无力跟绝望。

不管他在内心之中有多么不甘，这一刻都提不起半点反抗的意识。

臣服！

臣服！

臣服！

恐帝脑海中不断回荡着这两个字，从头到脚每一个细胞都在颤栗。

就在这理智和自尊即将崩溃的千钧一发之际，他突然从怀中掏出了之前马迪尔总督带回来的药剂，直接咬开塞子一口气灌了下去。

仅仅一刹那！

一股无法抑制的愤怒与不甘从心底涌起，随后彻底驱散了内心之中的恐惧和敬畏。

随后这位库夏帝国的君王发出了震耳欲聋的咆哮声。

“我绝不会臣服于任何人！我才是世界之王！注定要成为这个世界的统治者！哪怕是神也不能让我低下高贵的头颅！”

“不，你只是一条狗，而狗就应该服从主人的命令。”

格里菲斯用冰冷且不带一丝感情的语气说道。

只可惜，喝下药剂进入狂暴状态的恐帝现在根本不再受制于神之手的压迫，再次瞬间化作巨大的雷云向对方发起狂风骤雨般的打击。

因为他已经看到，刚才与格里菲斯交手的莫德雷德已经赶了过来。

也许以他的力量没办法伤害到格里菲斯，但莫德雷德绝对有这样的能力。

“休想逃走！吃我一剑！”

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 magic archer 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 wailing 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.
