Chapter 485: The Battle of the Apostles
Dream world, trial ground.
This is one of the places where the dream world and the material world are most closely connected, and it is the umbilical cord between the dream world and the material world.
Below the upper bound, above the lower bound.
The souls of all transcendents who participated in the ascension ceremony would arrive here in a daze while dreaming. It was like being thrown into the deep sea, but in the end, they did not sink downwards - because "ascension" is a kind of transcendence. Its direction is upward.
The dream world does not follow the laws of the material world, with clear and orderly east, west, south, and north. Each area seems independent, but also seems to overlap.
The "Trial Field" is a lake, yet also a water hourglass connecting two worlds. The upright pool is filled with warm amniotic fluid, while the inverted other world is soaked in blood. Transparent bubbles float steadily within the pool, each containing nine sleeping souls.
This is the essence of the promotion ceremony.
Each bubble contains a miniature world.
And inside one of the bubbles, the projection of Acropolis appeared.
The old lizardman held a snake staff in his hand and looked intently at Enyo, the City Breaker.
Enyo stopped.
"It seems you still remember me, Acropolis!"
She showed no fear at all, but just grinned: "It must have been about eight hundred years since we last met, old man! Do you still want to continue to cooperate?"
Enyo was beautiful, with a great figure and fair skin. Her face was painted with purple war marks that looked like special eyeshadow or the markings of a cobra.
But compared to her appearance, her voice was incredibly bold and rough. It was impossible to tell whether it was male or female, and it came across like a war cry from a great distance.
Akpolis's expression was solemn.
Because He knew how difficult the person before Him was.
Enyo is one of the most loyal apostles of Ursa Major. She is a giantess with long red hair who brings blood and rain when she walks.
The island of Avalon wasn't once home to only giants. Elves also settled there, and for a time, the elves and giants ruled separate kingdoms. Lancelot I's adopted mother, Vivian, was a descendant of that generation of elves before she became a fairy.
These elves, who did not reside in the Eternal Kingdom, were more adept at warfare than their fellow citizens. They possessed technology that was ahead of their time, and their capital was once known as the "Undying City."
It was during that battle that Enyo broke the barrier and opened the city gates. Her mother was a priestess among the giants, and her father was a giant bear, who was said to be the incarnation of the Most High Heaven.
During that war, she drank strong wine mixed with the blood of the elves while stirring up a destructive storm. After conquering the city, she did not intend to end the war, but instead enjoyed the slaughter. So Enyo joined her brother Ares, the Destroyer, in launching a massacre.
Eventually, their atrocities sparked the wrath of the Candle Master. At the prayers of the elves, his apostle, the "Eternal Vanguard" Carstenning, descended into the material world and slew the giants.
After their death, the brother and sister were promoted to apostles by the Most High, who granted them new powers and gave Ares a spear of fire and Enyo a hammer of storm.
In the days when Xiong Tiansi was still the Supreme Heaven, they were worshipped by the giants as the God and Goddess of War. They were two of the four most powerful apostles under the Supreme Heaven, and together they wielded the power of war.
"It's been a long time indeed."
Akpolis said coldly: “But I have never worked with you—don’t make our relationship sound so familiar.
"Why, is Xiong Tiansi so short of men? To deal with a mortal, he has to send out city breakers."
Enyo revels in the brutality of war, constantly causing both sides to lose control of their emotions. Initially, it's merely a rational conflict, but under the influence of hatred and death, the war gradually becomes uncontrollable, with the intensity and bloodiness constantly increasing... Such is the influence of Enyo.
Whenever the war entered this brutal phase, it was Acropolis's turn to come to the rescue, which is why Enyo claimed they had collaborated.
After the Supreme Heaven was defeated by the Crowned Heavenly Lord and lost his leading position in the Way of Power, he was pierced through the body by the Holy Sword and fell to the ground as a giant scarlet bear.
His blood soaked the dream world and dripped into the material world, turning into a pool of blood. A hungry and emaciated bear cub, deprived of its mother's protection, drank his blood as milk and gradually grew up.
After drinking the blood of the Supreme Heaven, he became its successor. When he ascended to the Dream Realm, the Supreme Heaven's will was resurrected within him. After defeating the "Man Tiansi," who possessed both the Path of Love and the Path of Authority, he seized the fragment of Tiansi and, wielding the path of authority and transcendence, became the "Bear Tiansi."
However, few of His former apostles have returned.
The path of power is a path of relying on the strong to bully the weak and preying on the weak. After He became weak, they naturally abandoned Him.
Among the four strongest apostles of the Supreme Heaven, "Tyrant" was surrounded and killed three times by the knights under the Silver Crown Dragon and has not been resurrected yet; "Rakshasa" was tamed by Zhu Tiansi; "Destroyer" was bewitched by Shadow Tiansi's beauty and voluntarily became Shadow Tiansi's follower.
The "city destroyer" Enyo in front of him is the strongest apostle left under Xiong Tiansi.
"Are you going to stop me? You're just an incarnation, and you dare to stop me?"
Enyo mentioned the Invisible Hammer with great interest: "Then let's try it."
"……Oh."
Akpolis's eyes turned completely cold and he sneered.
If it was when Ursa Major was still the Supreme Heaven, Akpolis would definitely not be able to defeat Enyo.
After all, Akpolis is just a doctor and doesn't have that much power.
The reason why the Most High is called "the Most High" is because His power is supreme.
In his defeat, Crown Celestial Being had the direct and indirect assistance of numerous pillar gods, celestial officials, and apostles, including the Sand Clock, the Candle Master, the Scale and Feather Master, the Shadow Celestial Being, the Ring Celestial Being, and the Banquet Master. Rather than being slain by a fellow Celestial Being, it's more accurate to say that Supreme Celestial was slain by his own reckless attitude.
But Xiong Tiansi had only been back as Tiansi for a short time, less than two hundred years at most. He couldn't grant Enyo much power... and with Enyo's own strength alone, she might not be able to defeat him now.
That is the former divine weapon of the Supreme Heaven, which can still make Acropolis a little afraid.
The next moment, Enyo took off the human head wine jug from his waist and took a big sip.
"ah----"
As she let out a painful but loud roar, Enyo's skin was suddenly soaked with the blood forced out of her body.
Once this blood came into contact with the air, it turned into blood energy and condensed into a storm.
In an instant, a scarlet and violent storm gushed out of her body.
Bears, wolves, falcons, horses—the scarlet storm transformed into countless wild beasts, accompanied by countless howling bloody skulls, and roared in with overwhelming momentum to destroy everything!
The entire world around him creaked, and the simulated space created by the power of the Pillar God crackled with red lightning, and cracks appeared and disappeared one after another.
She was too lazy to precisely kill the prey marked by her lord, and instead planned to destroy all of them at once!
Anyway, as the host of the promotion ceremony, Akpolis had to take her attack head-on to protect everyone.
Even though Enyo's power is slightly weaker than Akpolis's now, if she is the one who initiates the attack, she will have the advantage.
Even though those who once followed the Path of Power were thoughtless and reckless, they possessed the same beastly cunning in battle. Now, that cunning had become instinct.
"I've warned you."
Akpolis sneered and paused his snake staff: "Then die here."
It just so happened that he had delayed long enough.
The world around me suddenly became blurry and fantastic.
The colors seemed to have seeped out of the void, so smooth that it was sickening.
The invisible, intangible, colorless and odorless "plague" spread around, turning into ominous black stripes that gradually appeared on Enyo's body - just as his daughter Yao Tiansi was the Tiansi who controlled medicine and poison, he also possessed the power of plague.
Acropolis had already poisoned her while they were talking, and by now she was already suffering from the effects of the poison.
But Enyo did not react at all.
——What if she was attacked or even killed?
The lord's goal was still achieved.
You still can't protect them!
Facing the crimson storm that howled like ghosts and wolves, seemingly threatening to destroy everything, Acropolis showed no reaction, as if he had given up resistance.
He simply maintained the plague that was gradually spreading in the air, and his entire body gradually turned into a stone sculpture.
But just as this Akpolis was completely still, another "Akpolis" suddenly appeared!
——That is the true form of "Akpolis"!
"Finally caught up."
A young and energetic voice came.
It was not a ritual clone sent to preside over the ceremony, but the same apostle body as Enyo!
But this Akpolis was not the old man who was frail and hunched over, and who even had to use a cane in both hands to walk unsteadily.
Akpolis is now a young man in his twenties or thirties.
His eyes blazed, his muscles bulging to perfection. Black, glossy scales covered his body, and his tail was thick and powerful. Rather than a lizardman, he looked more like a dragon standing upright.
He was not holding the snake staff at this moment, but had empty hands.
——This is the "rejuvenation drug", one of the "three supreme drugs" mastered by Akpolis!
The real Akpolis is this youthful attitude.
Because he had already taken the three medicines he developed, breaking through the triple barriers of life, time and destiny, and completing the sublimation of mortals!
Resurrection, rejuvenation, and...
Suddenly, a pair of dragon wings rose up from behind Akpolis.
His body continued to expand, and the snake scales on his body gradually turned into dragon scales.
——Immortality!
I caught a cold yesterday and it took me a long time to recover from it... The second chapter will be a little late, but there will still be one, meow!
