Chapter 367 Collapse
The riders in front of them were chased and blocked by [Mother] and actually ran towards the upper city in a panic. Fortunately, they seemed to have noticed their mistake and only fought with the evil god in the outskirts of the upper city. Most of the places here were just warehouses and no one lived there, so not much damage was caused.
On the contrary, because they were familiar with the roads here, they were able to dodge more smoothly.
"He refuses to come with us?" Kyle asked, frowning.
"No, he refused to retreat, he said he had a plan."
"Ah?" Kyle was stunned. "How can he deal with [Mother]? Use the Harbor Guard?"
"No, I don't think so." The mother-in-law shook her head: "I think he might be considering sacrifice."
Kyle fell silent.
He is a Crusader who has participated in the Deep Sea War, so he would subconsciously consider using force to deal with monsters.
But thinking carefully, sacrifice might be the best way - [Mother] has grown to the point where it is almost impossible to resist. The prince can bring the harbor guards to attract her attention, but how long can it last? The physical strength of horses has a limit, and this limit is not far away now.
"If sacrifices are required, how many will it take?"
"If it's mortals, the number will be terrifying. If it's extraordinary people." Grandma hesitated for a moment, "At least two will be needed, right?"
There has never been any record of a [loving mother] who has grown to such a level, so the mother-in-law can only estimate based on her years of experience in contact with the extraordinary.
"It's basically impossible to find so many mortals to sacrifice, but it might be possible to gather them if they were extraordinary beings."
Kyle had seen information before coming to Blood Harbor that Galahad, who was beside the prince, was a transcendent. It was said that he was extremely loyal. Perhaps the prince would use him in exchange for peace in Blood Harbor?
But the other prince was riding his horse at full speed, and both he and the horse were already out of breath.
Horse riding is actually a very physically demanding sport, especially in such a tense environment, there can be no disappointment, and they were all showing signs of exhaustion under the pressure.
The prince looked a little annoyed, and occasionally waved his hands at the air as if he was trying to chase away something.
"Isabella, you heard what those Castel people said. As long as someone is sacrificed."
"Shut up!"
The prince scolded in a low voice, glaring at the air beside him as inconspicuously as possible.
There she was the only one who could see a translucent figure.
That was the original owner of this body, the real prince.
His face was full of anxiety at this moment. He turned his head to look at the huge [Mother], and then floated next to Isabella.
"Let me come, Isabella. This is my homeland after all. I am willing to die for it. My existence as a soul is proof of my will. My sacrifice can drive away the [Mother]."
What he said was actually correct. It was almost impossible for the soul to survive without the body. This was the law of this world. However, a strong enough will could interfere with reality and force the soul to remain in the world.
Generally, only extraordinary people can do this kind of thing, or to be more precise, only some extraordinary people with strong will can do this. Therefore, if the prince sacrifices himself, the effect will definitely be better than that of an extraordinary person.
Isabella looked gloomy and did not respond.
“Aaaaaaah!!”
Suddenly there was a scream behind them. The cavalrymen looked back and saw that a horse behind them was hit by the flying gravel. It was frightened in an instant, and fled to the rear with a wail. No matter how the riders on it scolded, it was of no avail.
Behind her was the Mother, who stretched out her hand.
The rider's face was filled with horror, then he gritted his teeth and jumped off the galloping horse.
He was lucky enough not to hit any rocks. He only broke his arm and perhaps a few ribs, but his legs were fine.
He immediately stood up and ran, almost the fastest speed in his life. In just a moment, he ran a long way and rushed to a two-story building.
Boom! The evil god's limbs smashed down fiercely, and when the smoke and dust cleared, the man and the two-story building were smashed into the ground.
Unknowingly, [Mother] had grown to a level that was almost impossible to restrain. The Harbor Guards could only barely break free with their fast horses, and now, the horses' speed had begun to decline.
Their physical strength is reaching its limit.
"Jefferson!!" Someone among the cavalrymen in front wailed, obviously this man's good friend.
But he had no time to feel sad, because the next moment, [Mother] turned around and looked at him.
The huge body rushed over with disproportionate agility, and the wind it created swirled behind it and raised dust.
The prince soul in the air also spoke in a hurry: "Isabella, let's give in."
Isabella pulled the reins hard, and the horse under her let out a whine, raised its front hooves, and then stopped. It looked in horror at the huge mountain of flesh that was getting closer and closer from behind, and its legs began to tremble.
All the members of the Harbor Guard stopped. They had reached their limit. Both the people and horses were out of breath. Even if they hadn't stopped, they wouldn't have been able to run far.
But the evil god's physical strength seemed endless - no, its condition was getting better and better. During the pursuit, he had been devouring other believers of the Mother Goddess, and the firepower of the crusaders became sparse. As a result, the evil god even grew larger.
The cavalrymen on the prince's side, except Galahad, were barely calm. The others were in a very miserable state. Even the prince had a streak of blood on his face, as he had just been hit on the head by flying stones.
Just now they spared no effort and managed to create some distance between them. The evil god, who was like a mountain of flesh, was left behind a little, but this distance could only delay him for a moment, and soon he would rush over, and the prince would no longer be able to escape.
The expressions of the group of people were different, some were terrified, some were sad, some were angry, and some were calm, but they all looked at the evil god who was gradually approaching, as if they were welcoming their own judgment.
Farther away, Kyle sighed and looked at his mother-in-law: "Have they decided to sacrifice themselves?"
There was a gleam in the mother-in-law's eyes. She looked at the meat mountain and said in a strange tone, "Not necessarily."
Kyle was stunned.
Galahad suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of the prince.
Boom! A huge sound rang out, Kyle was shaken, and many of the Skitarii fell to the ground.
It wasn't that they were frightened and fell down, but that the ground was shaking! The whole body of the [Mother], who was running forward, suddenly tilted, and then her body stopped moving forward. Smoke and dust kept flying around her, and there were bursts of collapse sounds. She desperately swung her limbs and tried to climb forward, but she was still sliding down.
The loving mother sank into the ground.
