Chapter 835 The goddess wakes up!
Batman understood everything instantly and immediately mocked Gervis.
As a veteran duke, he naturally knew the range of the aerial scouts' search, and the army must be quite a distance away from here.
"Old man, then you give it a try!"
Gervis also understood that what Batman said was true. He would definitely not be able to wait for Edward's help, but he would certainly not show weakness.
Roar! At this moment, the two griffins in the sky circled for a while and then flew towards the east.
"Don't waste any more time! Boy, die!"
Although it would take quite some time for Edward to arrive, Batman also felt a sense of urgency and his attack became more fierce.
"Red Flame Slash!"
Batman gathered his strength and used his most powerful secret technique to strike Gervis.
Boom! In an instant, the terrifying sword light directly enveloped Gervis, who was two or three meters ahead, and the surrounding houses collapsed one after another.
The air was filled with smoke and dust, and Gervis's fleeing figure could no longer be seen.
"Haha, kid! Today is the day you die!"
Batman, sword in hand, waited for the smoke to clear, then found Gervis and took his life, sending him on his final journey.
…
While Gervis was facing his greatest crisis, the city of St. Ann, hundreds of miles away, was filled with joy today.
Because the five hundred sea creatures sent back by Gervis have successfully escorted more than two thousand eight hundred captives back here.
"Lord Gust, this is the prisoner that His Majesty asked us to bring back. We are handing it over to you now!"
The captain of the sea tribe who led the team saluted respectfully to Gust and began to hand over the prisoners.
"OK!"
Gust returned the salute, then waved to his subordinates and began to accept the native captives.
The captain of the sea tribe did not stop his actions. He saluted Gust again and then came to Caroline.
"Miss Caroline! This is the trophy that His Majesty asked me to bring back this time. It is a holy object I got from the native temple!"
The sea tribe captain took out an exquisite wooden box, and then handed the pair of wristbands to Caroline.
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!"
Caroline took the box naturally, and then continued to ask the captain of the sea tribe.
"Is your battle going well?"
"Miss Caroline, the battle went smoothly before I came back. We captured the native city with minimal casualties!"
"Well, very good, then you go and rest first! I have asked someone to prepare the food!"
Caroline nodded with satisfaction and gave the instructions.
Now that she and Lolita have Alice's approval, everything is legitimate, so when Gervis and Alice are not around, her and Lolita's status can be said to be the highest in the city of St. Ann!
"Yes, Miss Caroline, Miss Lolita, I'm leaving now!"
After the sea tribe captain left, Caroline took the box and said to Gust.
“Grandfather, I will send this holy weapon to the backyard of the small building first!”
Gervis had already instructed that these indigenous sacred objects should be returned to the courtyard after the sacrifices were completed, and the same naturally applied to the one that had just been returned.
"Okay, Caroline, you take them in. I'll wait here for Nathan and Vivian to figure out how to distribute these natives!"
"Um!"
"Sister Lolita, let's go!"
Then, Caroline took Loria into the temple.
The native captives who were still bound in the square could only watch helplessly as the sacred objects were taken away.
Soon, Caroline and Adela arrived at the backyard of the small building.
"Caroline, Lolita!"
As soon as the two entered the backyard, Wall-E flew over happily and greeted them affectionately! "Little guy! Come sit on my hand!"
Caroline and Lolita often come to the backyard these days and have become very familiar with Wall-E.
Lolita stretched out her white palm and let Wall-E fall on it, and then the two of them came to the side of the sacred tree.
There was also an exquisite scepter placed here at this time, which was the one that emitted a halo when the natives prayed last time.
Caroline came to the scepter and carefully placed the wooden box on the stone.
After making sure it was stable, Caroline thought for a moment and then opened the wooden box again.
After all, Gervis said that this holy vessel seemed to have some effect on the holy tree, so it should be opened.
However, the next moment Caroline opened the wooden box, an unexpected change occurred.
Buzz! Buzz! The moment the wooden box was opened, the scepter beside Caroline and the wristband in the wooden box suddenly emitted a white light, and then the two holy objects began to vibrate and hum.
"Ah, what's going on?"
Caroline and Lolita did not expect such a sudden change and were stunned for a moment.
Buzz!
Just when they were at a loss, the two holy objects began to rise slowly, floating in the air more than one meter high. White spiritual light appeared above the holy objects, rippling like circular waves in the water.
And when the spiritual light ripples spread out, it finally swept over the sacred tree.
And the moment the spiritual light swept across the holy tree, the holy tree also happened.
Little by little, white dots of light began to emerge from the holy tree, just like the scene when Gervis was pulled into the holy tree by the goddess.
"This is my staff and wrist guard!"
When the white spots of light on the holy tree gathered more and more and reached their peak, a beautiful figure appeared out of thin air outside the holy tree.
Caroline and Lolita had just been unable to open their eyes because of the blinding white light, but when they heard this extremely beautiful female voice, they couldn't help but try hard to open their eyes and look.
"Who are you? Why are you here?!"
The goddess that appeared this time was no longer the hazy goddess that Gervis had seen at the beginning.
At this moment, she looked flesh and blood, beautiful and holy.
At this time, the goddess was wearing a blue and white long dress, which showed off her curvy figure, and she was holding the indigenous sacred scepter and wristband in her hands.
"You can call me Angelina, but there is one thing I need to ask you. Why are my staff and wrist guards here?"
"And what about the young man named Gervis?"
Angelina didn't pay attention to Caroline's questioning tone. She gave a simple answer and then asked Caroline and the other two a question.
Last time, she transferred some of her remaining power to Gervis. Normally, she would need to continue sleeping for three to five years to alleviate the power lost from being sealed in the crystal sculpture for thousands of years.
But unexpectedly, just a moment ago, the wristband and the staff appeared at the same time and woke her up.
Because of the huge amount of power of faith stored in the staff and wristbands, she was able to recover the first level of strength she had at that time, and was able to condense a real body and appear outside the holy tree.
"You...your staff? Are you a goddess!"
Caroline and Lolita were stunned when they heard Angelina's words.
Both of these items are sacred objects to the indigenous people, that is, they are items used by the gods they believe in.
Now that this woman says that these two items are hers, doesn't that mean that she is a god?
"Lord Angelina!"
In an instant, Caroline's eyes widened and she looked at the beautiful woman beside the sacred tree in disbelief, because she remembered the name of the god that the indigenous captives usually prayed to... Wasn't it this Lord Angelina?
"Yes! I am the goddess Angelina! In the beginning, because my divine nature was weak, I had to merge into the sacred tree. Now, thanks to the power of faith in these two items, I can quickly recover my strength!"
"Now can you tell me where these two things came from?"
"And what about Gervis?"
Goddess Angelina had a holy and peaceful face, and her words made Caroline and Lolita feel like spring breeze. This look finally brought the two women out of their shock.
"Goddess Angelina, Gervis is leading his troops to battle! We don't know where exactly!"
"As for these two items of yours, they were left by the descendants of your servants...Goddess Angelina, what's wrong with you?"
Facing Angelina, Caroline did not dare to lie and was prepared to tell the truth. After all, under their influence, it was useless to talk to God.
However, just when Caroline was halfway through her words, the goddess Angelina, who had originally had a holy and peaceful face, suddenly frowned.
"There is a force trying to pull the power of my original body!"
Goddess Angelina frowned for a moment and finally answered.
However, this answer left Caroline and Lolita somewhat confused.
But both of them knew that this matter must be very serious, because even the goddess showed a solemn and worried look.
The two of them stood there and waited silently.
…
The civilian area of Sheng'en City was in a mess at this time, and the area within hundreds of meters around had turned into rubble.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Batman began to look around the ruins.
A moment later, he finally saw the target he was looking for more than ten meters ahead. It was Gervis, who was lying motionless on the ground with half of his body pressed under the rubble.
"Haha, kid! I'm sending you on your way now! Don't worry, I will send your wives from Stormwind City and the Elf tribe down to meet you sooner or later!"
When Batman saw Gervis, he immediately approached him with a sword in his hand.
Facing Batman approaching step by step, Gervis still lay motionless in the rubble.
At this time, Gervis had fallen into a coma.
He had endured dozens of sword attacks from Batman on his back, plus this final powerful close-range blow, which finally made his 94 percent damage immunity unable to completely protect him.
"Ding! The host has fallen into a coma!"
"Ding, the host is facing a death threat. The system determines that the host is no longer able to resist on his own!"
"Ding, consume 10 energy points to activate the system's master protection function!"
"The main protection system is searching for a rescue plan. The final rescue plan will be implemented based on the energy points the host has!"
"Ding! Residual divine power detected in the host!"
"Ding! The rescue plan has been selected, using divine power to enhance the host's strength!"
"Ding! Tracing the origin through the divine power..."
"Ding! We have traced back to the source and are establishing a connection..."
"Ding! Contact rejected. Use plan B and implement a unilateral and forceful signing of a sharing contract!"
"Ding! The sharing contract has been completed, consuming 1500 energy points!"
…
While the jingles were ringing in Gervis' mind, Batman had already arrived in front of him.
Batman kicked Gervis hard in the abdomen, knocking the half-lying Gervis onto his back.
Looking at Gervis's face, Batman's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Boy! Go to hell!"
Batman knew that Edward would arrive soon, so he didn't plan to play any "affectionate confession" before killing someone.
He simply raised the gleaming sword and placed the tip of the sword directly against Gervis' neck, ready to pierce his neck mercilessly.
The next moment, a cold light flashed in Batman's eyes, and he immediately exerted force in his hands.
Ding! However, when Batman pressed down the sword fiercely, Gervis, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Batman standing in front of him.
Then, at the critical moment, he rolled to the left to avoid Batman's sword, making Batman's sword miss.
"Huh? You're awake!"
Batman widened his eyes. He didn't expect that Gervis would suddenly wake up at this time.
"But you're going to die, too!"
Batman's reaction was also not bad. After feeling that he had missed his target, he immediately raised his sword and slashed at Gervis who was still rolling on the ground!
"when!"
Unfortunately, Batman's sword was blocked by Gervis, who had just stopped rolling.
After blocking the sword, Gervis supported himself on the ground with his left hand, turned around handsomely and stood up in an instant.
"How is this possible! You are obviously seriously injured!"
Batman was a little bit unbelievable now.
Earlier, he had clearly noticed that Gervis's breath was already very weak.
It would have been normal if Su Xing had just rolled over to dodge, but Gervis not only blocked the slash, but also stood up easily, which made Batman suspicious.
"Ahem! Old man, do you enjoy beating me?"
Gervis stood up and looked at Batman's surprised expression, with murderous intent in his eyes.
If it weren't for the system, he would really die here today.
But even if he escaped now, it was still done at the cost of 1,500 energy points.
"Who the hell are you? No, you can't be human!"
Batman was extremely shocked, especially when he looked at Gervis again with his senses and detected a hint of indescribable aura from Gervis.
This breath made Batman feel a little bit of fear in his heart.
Batman found it hard to believe that he, a powerful Red Flag master at the top of the ladder, would actually be afraid of a kid whose strength was only at the beginner level of the Red Flag at most.
"Yes, I am not a human, I am a god! Go to hell, old man!"
Gervis didn't plan to argue with Batman. He was very angry today, so he swung his sword and slashed at Batman.
Dang! Batman also quickly swung his sword to block, and with a dang sound, the two swords collided with each other.
Then Batman's face changed drastically.
"Your strength has suddenly become so strong?"
This time, there was genuine fear in Batman's eyes when he looked at Gervis.
What happened in just a few tens of seconds broke Batman's previous understanding.
The reason why Batman is so strong is that it is the result of decades of hard training, and it also requires extraordinary talent, plus the accumulation of countless resources.
But the killer god was clearly on the verge of death the moment before, but at this moment, his strength was already able to compete with him, and even seemed to be unable to resist him! This was too crazy for Batman! "Ha! I said, I am a god!"
"Critical strike with one sword!"
Gervis smiled evilly, then used all his strength to wield his fighting spirit and slashed out with the sword again.
Batman was shocked and swung his sword again to fight with Gervis.
Dang! Puff! But this time, with a "dang" sound, Batman's sword was cut off directly.
Then Gervis's sword, with undiminished power, split open Batman's breastplate and cut into the flesh inside.
