Chapter 175 The Arrogant King's Back-up Plan? Phoenix King, Burn Him!
Chapter 175: The King of Arrogance's Backhand? Phoenix King, Burn Him!
This sudden change was too abrupt.
So abrupt that even Lugia didn't react in time.
This demonic energy seemed to have been hidden for a long time, different from the demonic energy of the King of Jealousy. It seemed to have been lurking in Ohm's bracelet since before the war began.
And at this moment, when everyone was immersed in the joy and sorrow after the victory of the war, at the moment when their defenses were most relaxed,
the long-prepared demonic energy suddenly launched an attack.
It successfully killed the Mermaid Patriarch and the Mermaid Elder in one fell swoop.
The Mermaid Patriarch stiffly lowered his head, a length of strange bone piercing through his chest, and the demonic energy, like a maggot attached to the bone, instantly shattered his vitality.
The Mermaid Patriarch and the Mermaid Elder made hoarse, indistinguishable sounds like broken old bellows, their pupils gradually turning gray.
"No!!!"
Neptune's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared as he swung his long knife forward, slashing down.
Perhaps Ohm was useless, his right arm was easily cut off.
The bracelet also shattered at this moment, and the instant it fell to the ground, it turned into a small abyss, just enough to devour the Mermaid Patriarch and the Mermaid Elder.
And their powerless bodies also fell into the abyss.
The pain of a severed arm was nothing to Ohm. Just now, he had suffered all kinds of torture and pain.
But…
that right arm that killed his father and the Great Elder was his.
He, Ohm, had committed patricide in full view of everyone…
"It wasn't me! It wasn't like this!!!"
Ohm fell into madness, hot bloody tears sliding down his cheeks.
"Demon King!!!"
Ohm used his last bit of strength to pounce towards the Mermaid Patriarch who was falling into the abyss, but Neptune was faster than him.
At this point, everyone understood that this was the Demon King's last calculation.
Lily Ace was shocked, and before she could react, a torrent of spells struck the abyss first.
Although she didn't understand why the King of Jealousy had to attack the Mermaid Patriarch and the others, but…
it wouldn't be a good thing.
But this hopeful blow, falling on this seemingly fragile abyss, only made the abyss shake for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, an aura that Lily Ace and the others were familiar with appeared.
"The power of the Primordial Abyss!"
Lily Ace was shocked.
This abyss was not an ordinary abyss at all, but the original, and most eternal, power of the Primordial Abyss.
But realizing this, she was already powerless to turn the tide.
She watched helplessly as the remnants of the Mermaid Patriarch and the others disappeared into the abyss.
"Father!"
Ohm cried out in despair, burning his life force and rushing towards the abyss.
But in the next moment, he was bounced back.
The Primordial Abyss collapsed like a bubble, but turned into a boundless and huge phantom.
That was not the snake god projection of the King of Jealousy, but the existence that Lily Ace and others were extremely familiar with, and had just seen not long ago.
A goat-headed human body with demon wings covering the sky.
One hand was broken off at the root, and only the intertwined black demonic energy could reveal the looming dark flesh and bones.
The other hand was holding the corpses of the Mermaid Patriarch and the Mermaid Elder, who had completely lost their breath.
The goat head wore an undisguised arrogant smile, as if a victor's contempt.
This phantom was incomparably huge, like a giant standing tall.
But it didn't have the power like the projection of the King of Jealousy. This was just a virtual image.
It was more like this guy came specifically to taunt as a victor.
"King of Arrogance!"
Lily Ace and the others gritted their teeth, but did not retreat, and tightened their staffs, ready to attack at any time.
Having defeated the projection of the King of Jealousy, they were no longer afraid of the Demon King.
But Neptune and Ohm were different, using their small strength to rush towards the projection under the burning hatred.
The corpses of the Mermaid Patriarch and the Mermaid Elder were grabbed in their hands and flaunted like toys. This scene had completely made the merfolk lose their minds.
Regardless of whether the opponent was the King of Jealousy, all the merfolk fought back.
"Damn Demon King! Give us back our father and Great Elder!"
Neptune attacked again and again, but passed through the projection again and again.
The King of Arrogance's mocking expression became more and more obvious, looking at everyone playfully.
"Envy that guy, is still a little useful…"
Holding the two corpses, everyone watched helplessly as the demonic energy on the King of Arrogance's hands drilled into the bodies of the Mermaid Patriarch and the others.
This great insult made Neptune even more crazy.
But it was still useless…
"King of Arrogance!"
Lily Ace's eyes were full of anger.
"You still dare to come! Aren't you afraid that His Holiness the Pope will cut off your only arm again?"
Hearing this, the King of Arrogance's face suddenly sank, and the pain in his severed arm went straight to his heart again.
"The Church of the Dawn…"
The King of Arrogance looked at Lily Ace and the others gloomily, and then stared at Lugia.
"Just dogs who succumb to their master's knees and wag their tails…"
"It's just defeating the projection of that trash Envy, what are you? How dare you talk to me like that?"
The King of Arrogance paused, and in the next moment, monstrous demonic energy erupted, and the world in the projection was crumbling.
In an instant, the projection expanded like it had been injected with hormones, instantly expanding to the entire sea.
"A group of lowly beasts! It seems that you have forgotten the experience of being crushed by us like garbage in the past! Is it because the demons are too kind, giving you the illusion of being qualified to resist!"
Lily Ace glared at the King of Arrogance, not taking a step back.
"That was before!"
"Under the leadership of His Holiness the Pope, we will eventually annihilate all the demons! At that time, His Holiness the Pope will surely cut off your head and leave it in the Rodri Continent to sing praises for the Dawn!"
The King of Arrogance couldn't hold back.
Every time Lily Ace mentioned Ian, the King of Arrogance could feel the piercing pain in his severed arm.
That kind of pain was simply tearing his dignity.
"Inferior mongrel!"
The King of Arrogance was furious.
"Who do you think you are talking to? It's a King! A Demon King who has traversed countless worlds! A god you can't reach! Didn't that damn Dawn Pope teach you to maintain a humble posture when facing a god?!"
"Facing a beast like you, contempt is the best etiquette…"
Ian's melodious voice echoed through the void, merging into the King of Arrogance's ears.
Immediately afterwards, an equally holy and tall projection, accompanied by a seven-colored beam of light, descended here.
Everyone looked up, Ian holding the Holy Realm Guardian Staff, wearing the Seven Saint Crown, and the seven-colored treasure light turned into a halo behind him.
At this time and place, Ian spoke to the King of Arrogance across countless time and space.
The sky of the Hundred Races, which had just returned to calm, also re-condensed the projection under the will of the world and the power of the holy objects.
People who were on their way, or were preparing to go, couldn't help but stop and stare blankly at Ian and the King of Arrogance confronting each other in the projection in the sky.
On this day, they witnessed too many legends, but this time, they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
Intuition told them that the situation in the Rodri Continent was about to change drastically because of the confrontation between this Dawn Pope and the King of Arrogance today.
…
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope! May your benevolence spread throughout the earth, and may your holiness soar in the sky!"
Ian's projection descended, and this time, Lily Ace and the others, who were a little apprehensive, immediately felt at ease.
King of Arrogance?
Wasn't he punched and slashed by Ian last time?
With Ian here, what's there to be afraid of?
Staring at Ian's projection opposite, the piercing pain in the King of Arrogance's right arm had reached its maximum.
The slight victor's pose from just now instantly twisted, and an unsuppressible rage and dread burst forth.
“Dawn Pope!”
The King of Pride growled through gritted teeth.
Ian glanced at the King of Pride's regenerating right arm and said calmly, “Looks like your right arm is growing back… Good. I was worried that when I killed you, I wouldn't be able to gather a complete body to pour molten copper on, so you could repent for eternity.”
“For a work of art like you, I'll try my best to give you a complete death.”
The King of Pride's anger transformed into a dark, solid flame in his eyes, and he gnashed his teeth, saying, “Sharp-tongued… Do you think what you see is everything? The great Demon race is countless times stronger than you imagine! After today, you can wait for the Demon race's all-out revenge!”
Ian smiled contemptuously.
“Are you talking about the other Demon Kings? Or your Demon race's affiliated gods?”
“None of that matters. I'm more optimistic about the Eternal Sufferer. After all, being able to take you dogs as slaves, he should be qualified for me to personally slaughter!”
The King of Pride and Ian's confrontation made the whole world hold its breath.
Even Neptune and Ohm, who had already lost their minds, were suppressed by the Halo of the Moon, preventing them from moving.
The King of Pride stared at Ian, and after a long time, he laughed in anger.
“You're just good at arguing. That's all you are…”
The King of Pride lifted the two corpses in his hand and mocked, “Your so-called Dawn Society brings hope, brings salvation, but it doesn't seem to have done so… Look, two fresh Saint-level corpses.”
This made Neptune and the others even more frantic, hurling filthy insults, but the King of Pride didn't care. He only had Ian in his eyes now.
The King of Pride smiled smugly.
“Unfortunately, Dawn Pope, I won this time… I will make good use of these two fresh trophies.”
“Next time we meet, they will be my Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse…”
As he said that, the King of Pride glanced condescendingly at the dazed Ohm below and laughed wantonly.
“I also have to thank that trash Envy. His despicable jealousy tricks were still somewhat useful… Oh! Right, and this ridiculous merman. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had such a bountiful harvest.”
Now, everyone finally understood.
This time, it was a collaboration between the King of Pride and the King of Envy. The Halo of the Moon was handled by the King of Envy, while the King of Pride was eyeing the Saint-level corpses to replenish the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
Ohm completely collapsed, prostrating on the ground and wailing.
“It shouldn't be like this! Please! Give me back my father! I'll die for him! I'm the one who should die!”
But such pleas were extremely delightful to the King of Pride.
He narrowed his eyes, looking completely satisfied.
“That's right…
“Howling, unwillingness, despair… This is the attitude you should have, but unfortunately…”
The King of Pride's expression instantly turned indifferent.
“The pleas of ants are of no concern to giants.”
He raised his head, staring at Ian, and the King of Pride smiled coldly.
“Wait, Dawn Pope… The Demon race's fury will engulf you like a collapsing sky. When that time comes, I will make good use of your corpse. The Son of Pride will be the position I leave for you.”
“Dawn Pope, there's plenty of time in the future. I have plenty of time to slowly teach you the Demon language of regret…”
Ian quietly looked at the King of Pride, and this calm gaze actually made the King of Pride feel a little apprehensive for a moment.
Although there was no battle, this verbal confrontation made all the living beings in the world break out in cold sweat.
Dead silence lasted for an unknown amount of time, and then Ian suddenly laughed.
“Unlike you, I don't like the future. I take revenge on the spot.”
The King of Pride suddenly had a slight ominous premonition in his heart.
The next moment, Ian said loudly:
“The praise of the Seven Saints!”
The light of the Seven Sacred Relics, which had been circling for a long time, fell from the sky and slammed into the King of Pride's projection.
It still passed straight through.
But the King of Pride became more and more uneasy.
Until the next moment, in full view of everyone, a seven-colored abyss vortex opened up.
Different from the previous abyss, this time, it was Ian who took the initiative to open it in reverse under the coordination of the Seven Sacred Relics and the will of the world.
The King of Pride looked in shock at the seven-colored abyss that appeared in front of him.
But Ian didn't give him a chance to think.
“Lugia! Aeroblast!”
“Ho-Oh! Sacred Fire!”
Along with Ian's instructions, the always low-key Lugia instantly crossed the crowd.
The phantom of the divine bird pounced towards the opened abyss.
And close behind, an boundless vortex ran down from the sea.
Ho-Oh, wearing a crown of ancient trees of life, spiraled through the vortex, rushing towards the abyss side by side with Lugia. Then, the phantom of the divine bird and Ho-Oh's holy flames poured in like a flood.
The King of Pride's pupils dilated, and the two divine authority attacks directly hit his face in his unbelievable gaze.
The King of Pride was knocked back a long way.
The burning holy fire, like burning in an oil field, ignited the entire head of the King of Pride with a bang.
The next moment.
The King of Pride's highly recognizable roar and scream of pain spread throughout the continent of Roderick.
“Damn hybrid!”
Seeing that the holy fire was about to burn all over his body, the King of Pride, realizing what was happening, rolled up his demonic energy and ruthlessly extinguished the fire of life.
After all, he was at the peak of the Upper God. There was still a very, very big gap between Lugia and Ho-Oh's strength and him. Such an attack could not really hurt him.
However…
It was still no problem to make him lose face.
At this time, the fluff on the King of Pride's sheep's head had been completely burned.
The entire demon looked even more embarrassed and hideous.
But staring at the seven-colored abyss that was gradually closing, he was still afraid to take action.
He was not sure where Ian was. If he rashly took action, with Ian's despicable and insidious image in his heart, the King of Pride felt that he might be attacked three against one if he took action.
What's more, one of the divine authority users was still the Life Divine Authority, which he hated the most.
After all, cross-border attacks were not advantageous.
The King of Pride's gloomy gaze, which could freeze people's souls, stared closely at Lugia and Ho-Oh.
“Sea God, God of Life… Very good!”
Ian chuckled.
“Do you think what you see is all there is to the Dawn Church?”
The King of Pride laughed in anger, staring deeply at Ian's projection.
In any case, although he lost face this time, he at least obtained two Saint-level corpses to replenish the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
He was still the victor!
At least compared to the King of Envy, he was still the victor.
It was enough to quit while he was ahead. What if this despicable Dawn Pope was going to plot against him again…
For the time being, the King of Pride didn't think Ian's attack was easy to resist.
“Very good, I've remembered you!”
The King of Pride stared deeply at Ian and said coldly:
“Dawn Church… you are qualified to be the Demon race's opponent, but that's all. There's plenty of time in the future, and the great Demon race will eventually make you understand what a true God system is!”
Ian was silent, silently raising his hand, and the King of Pride was shocked, instantly cutting off the projection and disappearing without a trace.
Seeing this, Ian chuckled and his voice echoed eerily throughout the continent.
“If the Demon King is afraid… how far away is your destruction?”
