Chapter 95: Finale (Part 2) There will be a battle between us! ...
The skin and flesh trembled, the bones blocked, the soft tissue in the chest cavity wrapped the palm of the fist through the spiritual power, and a slight recoil sensation came from the arm.
The bright red, boiling blood splattered, staining the white clothes and everything in her sight red, and also freezing Lin Miao's brain.
The illusion collapsed even faster.
Michael raised the corners of his lips, staring at Lin Miao's black pupils without blinking, and exerted force on his hands again——
His still beating heart was ripped out by the roots, pressed roughly into her palm, and torn away from his chest.
The angel's spiritual power and life continued to dissipate as the heart left the body. The fair complexion turned visibly to bluish-gray, and the skin began to wrinkle and wither, as if all the water in the body had been forcibly drained.
“…Are you crazy?!!!”
Lin Miao finally reacted with a trembling voice. She almost couldn't control herself and yelled, "Are you really sick?!"
Magical power surged out, and she wanted to put her heart back into him, but Michael's grip on her wrist was so tight that she even began to suspect that the spiritual power that she had just broken was intentionally done by the archangel.
"Let me go, you—"
"Your Majesty the Demon King."
The clear voice was calm, weary, and exhausted: "A hundred years ago, you 'lost' to the gods because you had a weak heart."
"Take my heart, and you won't be burdened by this. You can... you can, fight Him openly... with honor."
"Take it... take it... Don't feel guilty about this. I... wouldn't have lived much longer anyway."
The sea is extremely tender, and the waves are lingering and affectionate.
The angel gazed at her almost greedily, as if he wanted to carve her appearance and figure into his bones and marrow, or perhaps he wanted to live and die together with her, and carve her heart and soul, just to see her alive one last time.
The beautiful and otherworldly face was finally stained with strong love and unwillingness, but it disappeared very quickly.
It seems like I have chosen to let go, so my smile also contains a sense of freedom and relief.
"I'm very happy...very happy..."
"One hundred years... a full hundred years... I have finally... redeemed myself from all my sins... and can now repay your kindness..."
"Please stop hating me...disgusted with me..."
The long eyelashes droop down and form a dense patch.
His hand slowly fell from her wrist, and the silver hair from the bottom turned into sparkling stars.
"I know... you initially used the excuse of 'wanting an angel to grant you a wish'... to get him to take you to Mount Muga. Although... it was just your excuse, but, but..."
"I still want to tell you... Angels will also fulfill your wishes."
The soul gradually disappeared and dissipated into a ball of light in the air; Michael's figure became more and more blurred, gradually becoming transparent.
"Can you... call me again?"
Lin Miao moved his lips.
"Call me, the name you gave me... please..."
She wasn't sure if her vocal cords were vibrating: "...Azazel."
“…Ziller.”
But he must have heard it.
Because His Excellency the Angel's eyes were curved with satisfaction, like a child who had rolled around and tried every trick in the book to finally get the toy he wanted, with pure and silly joy revealed in his eyes.
His lips lightly touched the back of Lin Miao's hand.
The touch was too weak to be noticed at first, and then it disappeared completely after being blown away by the wind.
The moment the soul completely dissipated, the physical body also evaporated.
Only the heart remains.
The heart was held firmly in Lin Miao's hand.
The bloody red color condensed the spiritual power of an angel and was very heavy. It pulsated slowly and intermittently through Lin Miao's palm, hitting her numb nerves one after another.
After the illusion was shattered, there was an empty world without green grass and clouds, and without a sea of roses.
Within the starry sea, there is a "realm" that operates according to its own rules.
In the boundless pure white silence, the remaining heartbeat became the only echo that refused to stop.
“…”
What on earth just happened? How did things get to this point...?
She felt bewildered, absurd, and as if her whole body had fallen into an icy cave, not knowing what to do.
Extremely cold,
It was so cold that she almost forgot the existence of words.
It took a long time for Lin Miao to find his voice again.
"...If you've seen enough, get out of here."
The heart was placed in the ring. She raised her eyelashes and cast aside the hoarseness in her throat, as if she had completely gotten rid of the influence.
"Hehe." A beautiful and gentle girl's voice suddenly sounded, slowly passing through Lin Miao's ears. "Why are you so anxious?"
Amidst a golden mist, a young woman in a long white dress appeared before her. Her face was gentle and delicate, her posture dignified and elegant. She was none other than Daisy Capet, the second daughter of the Capet family.
With the same black hair and eyes, and the same high ponytail, Lin Miao stood face to face with her, and they looked so similar that it was like looking at himself in the mirror.
Daisy smiled and said, "Sister, long time no see."
Lin Miao had a blank expression on his face: "As the dignified God of Light, you have given yourself to the daughter of a lowly mortal noble. Your sacrifice is truly great."
The girl raised an eyebrow. "Sister, you misunderstood me. Everyone knows that the God of Light created humans out of love. How can we be humble?"
"It's okay to fool others on a daily basis, but don't fool yourself." Lin Miao twitched his lips in mockery. "What you 'love' is nothing more than their admiration, respect, and faith in you. You're obsessed with the pleasure of being regarded as the Creator. In your eyes, humans themselves are no different from dust—"
"Otherwise, how could that plague that killed tens of thousands of people have happened?"
"..." The smile on his lips fell, and his eyes narrowed. "I only used my sister's identity because she has been human for so many years."
"Or maybe my sister prefers me to dress up as someone else?"
She snapped her fingers briskly, and the black-haired and black-eyed Miss Cape immediately transformed into the heroic green-eyed girl Evelyn, who blinked her right eye at Lin Miao.
"After all, she's one of the few humans who truly loves you. You should really like her, right?"
Lin Miao pursed his lips into a straight line, suppressing the anger that was about to burst out, and said in a cold tone: "It's better than you sitting on the throne of heaven and controlling the human world, but even your most loyal subordinates betray you."
She bit the flesh of her cheek calmly, controlling the spasm of her muscles. "My followers lost their memories and guarded Hell for me for a hundred years; and yet Michael chose to give me his heart. Compared to that, you've truly failed as a god."
Without waiting for his reply, Lin Miao continued, "Although the God may not be charming, he is very generous."
"In fact, everything is under control. I actually allowed my treacherous subordinate to plan a hundred years of waiting to welcome me back, and let him stay peacefully in heaven for so long."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" There was an inhuman indifference in the girl's green eyes. This indifference was not directed at any specific thing, but came from a sufficiently arrogant divinity that did not care about "ants".
"He's just a disobedient subordinate. What's the big deal if he betrayed me?"
"The males are just playthings. If my sister didn't dislike them, I could send them along with Gabriel."
"...You were there that day in Yinpo Forest." Lin Miao said softly. She stared at the god's indifferent expression and suddenly felt bored.
A hundred years ago, they fought for days and nights in the Styx Realm, but there was no communication between them;
Lin Miao originally had many things he wanted to ask Him, and he wanted to vent to Him without hesitation the words he had been holding back and the emotions he had been enduring for too long.
originally.
But now, she had lost the desire to continue the conversation.
"...Why bother pretending?" Lin Miao lowered her eyes, "As if we really have a deep sisterly love."
Her right hand slowly grasped the Demon King's scepter: "You and I both know that there will be a battle between us."
Seeing this, the god narrowed his eyes, and white light flowed from top to bottom. In an instant, he shed Evelyn's human shell, revealing his true appearance.
The appearance of a young and frail girl is gone, and the god's human form is perfect.
Beneath his white battle suit, his torso and limbs were as symmetrical and strong as the veins of the earth, and every inch of his muscle contained unparalleled divine power. He soared into the air, and in his hand, a majestic and ancient staff appeared.
His translucent green pupils dilated. "You don't think you can defeat me with just that traitor's heart, do you?"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Lin Miao asked back, rising to the same height as Him on the tiptoes and taking the first step.
The dead, desolate and uninhabited "world" has become the best place for gods and demons to fight.
The scepter was swung into the void, and thick thorny vines broke out of the ground. The dark green branches were filled with venomous barbs, and they coiled towards the god like a giant python ready to gather its strength.
The God of Light held a staff in his right hand and raised his left hand high. The divine power condensed into a diamond-shaped light shield in front of him. The runes on the shield were lit up, blocking the vines the moment they hit him.
Lin Miao silently recited the spell, and before the god could stop, the vines were bounced back and turned in mid-air. Dozens of sharp curved thorns split out from the ends of the branches, bypassing the light shield and piercing his waist.
The god's figure instantly rose to a hundred meters high. As the spiritual power around him expanded and pushed away the thin vines, the light from the gemstone on the top of the staff gathered and turned into a meter-long lightsaber that slashed down fiercely.
Lin Miao did not take it head-on. Instead, he made his body ethereal and merged into the air. The dark purple magic power turned into boiling chains, wrapping around the lightsaber in circles. The magic power and divine power were entangled with each other, refusing to give in, and a deafening sound was emitted. The wall of this world was hit and shook continuously.
The situation was at a stalemate for a while.
The god formed a seal with his left hand again, and the light magic circle rippled with golden ripples, compressing and converging the air, forcing Lin Miao to reveal her true form, while the light blade pierced through the air and slashed towards her neck;
She quickly spun around and retreated a hundred meters away in a few breaths. Her fingertips once again urged the thorns to form a thick wall.
"interference."
The power of the word spirit containing "rules" was activated, and the words became laws. The deep purple magic power spread rapidly like waves with Lin Miao as the center. The god's movements were barely noticeable and were half a beat slower.
The lightsaber paused, and Lin Miao seized the opportunity, teleporting to the side of the lightsaber. He grabbed the blade with his left hand, and despite the pain of his palm being burned and melted, he injected the devil's breath into the sword body, corroding the holy light. He swung the scepter in his right hand, and thorns were born, piercing through the white battle uniform and piercing into the god's chest.
"puff."
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the god was forced to shrink rapidly. He concentrated his divine power on his heart and forcibly pulled out the thorns, his face pale.
The rage in his emerald eyes was completely ignited, and he sneered, "You are even more cruel than you were a hundred years ago."
"I'm not as good as the Lord God of Light. He was so treacherous a hundred years ago." Lin Miao said, ignoring his left hand that had been melted by the spiritual energy of light and had not yet grown back.
"I'm at a disadvantage, Zhao."
"What are you going to do? Keep using that spell you used a hundred years ago—"Absolute Domain"? Use it to threaten me?"
She tilted her head. "It's a pity that Michael's spiritual power comes from the same source as yours. With his heart, you can no longer control them without my knowledge."
"It seems your subordinates are not as useless as you thought."
A face that bore a striking resemblance to Lin Miao glared at her fiercely. The deity wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and said, "It's probably too early to tell whether we've won or lost."
The divine power was condensed again, and the vast spiritual power of light rushed out from his body, and the pillar of light that reached the sky and the earth smashed down towards Lin Miao.
The latter pressed down with his scepter, and demonic energy burst out. The collision of the two forces once again caused the barrier of this world to crackle.
in imminent danger.
At this moment, a very strange smile suddenly appeared on Zhao's face.
"'Absolute Domain' is just one of my talents."
He said gently, "Do you think... I would allow that traitor to do whatever he wants without any assurance?"
A frantic, clamoring sense of alarm suddenly rose within Lin Miao. She twisted her wrist, sending a purple arrow hurtling through the air, only to be stopped by the divine weapon.
"For the past hundred years, I have painstakingly studied and finally found a way to restrain you—"
"profound."
"You who created Cerberus, you no longer have any blood left in you, right?"
He took out the essence and blood of the gods, wrapped it in divine power, and offered it high in the sky.
The moment the colorful light scattered, Lin Miao was horrified to find that his limbs could no longer move, and the magic power in his body was also completely imprisoned;
She could only watch as the drop of divine blood floated, stretched, and solidified on its own, transforming into a dagger flowing with golden light. Following His cold will, it pierced her heart with its sharp blade.
