Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089: Leave the Rest to Me (Combined Mega Chapter for Monthly Votes)

She had previously speculated that Zennany might be extremely powerful and even went to block Duke, relying on the selfless dedication of Duke and others to amplify her own strength, but she did not expect the other party to be this strong.

Lin Chichi bit her lip lightly, gazing at Zennany, as a somewhat hazy flame glimmer covered the girl’s body. She was earnestly adjusting her body, trying to get every inch of her muscle into optimal condition.

"The old man isn’t dead yet."

At this moment, an elderly man in a white robe struggled to climb out from the shattered earth.

The layers upon layers of muscles directly shattered the torn white robe.

He held a magic wand, straightened up, walked past Lin Chichi, and looked ahead at Zennany, "Little girl, the old man didn’t reach B-rank by being a vegetarian; now, you’ll see the true strength of an elder."

A yellow glow spread from the exquisite magic wand, and then, without hesitation, he charged forward again.

After being wounded, his strength seemed to have increased slightly.

"Elder Rudel, I’ve always had deep respect for you."

Zennany smiled as she watched Rudel, who was rushing towards her, while the bronze giant behind her bent down, swinging a punch with ferocious momentum towards Rudel once again.

This time, Rudel didn’t go head-to-head; instead, he abruptly sidestepped, dodging the incoming bronze fist.

The colossal bronze fist followed one after another, while Rudel’s figure, like a shell that could automatically dodge, rapidly advanced under the bronze giant’s barrage of punches.

In almost the blink of an eye, he had broken through to Zennany’s front, swinging his magic wand.

He looked at the silver-wavy short-haired girl who still had a smile on her face, swinging the magic wand down hard.

But the girl, like a willow in the wind, naturally drifted to one side along with his swinging magic wand, evading his attack.

Rudel immediately swept the wand horizontally, and Zennany, light as a feather, pulled back, dodging the attack once more.

At the same time, the bronze giant’s swinging fists were already descending towards Rudel once again.

Rudel stepped forward, unable to dodge the fist completely, and the massive bronze fist solidly struck his back.

The muscular old man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Lin Chichi saw this, took a quick step forward, and rushed out to cover for Rudel.

In that instant, accompanied by the severe injuries, a formidable force burst out from within Rudel’s body, and waving the wand that flickered with yellow light, his speed abruptly shot up.

Zennany seemed not to have expected Rudel’s sudden eruption of strength, but as she looked at the wand directly smashing towards her, the smile on her face remained unchanged.

She raised her hand, meeting the yellow-glowing wand.

Pu—

The wand, carrying great momentum, seemed to hit a very sturdy ground, the wind pausing for a moment as the outstretched, pale hand easily caught it in the palm, as if Rudel had voluntarily placed the wand into her hand.

"Elder Rudel, I’ve said this, I respect you,"

Zennany smiled as she looked at Rudel, who was shocked by the wand being forcefully caught, "But indeed, your strength is not enough."

"What about this then?"

Rudel looked at the wand held in his grip, blood tinged with yellow light spilled from his mouth, and he clenched his teeth tightly as a severe yellow glow burst out from the caught wand in an instant, enveloping Zennany.

"Hm?"

Zennany was momentarily startled, then forcefully rebounded the wand in her hand.

Rudel was hit by his own wand, knocked backward by the intense force.

He smashed to the ground in front of the oncoming Lin Chichi.

Boom—

The ground shook violently again, and thick cracks quickly spread across the surrounding derelict buildings.

The muscular old arm simply extended out from the hole that had been smashed into the earth, and Lin Chichi quickly reached out to pull up Rudel, who had been embedded into the ground once again.

"What did you do to me?"

Zennany was still standing in front of the two, she raised her hand, looked at the yellow glow covering her palm, and asked softly.

At that moment, her entire body was covered with a hazy yellow glow, and as the light flickered, her body visibly became transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"’Exile’,"

Rudel got up, holding the wand, his face sickly pale,

"You will disappear from this world, unseen by anyone, and nothing will interact with you. You will be gradually forgotten by this world until you completely vanish from it."

As he spoke, Zennany’s figure grew fainter, almost completely vanishing, while his complexion became paler and paler.

Standing beside Rudel, Lin Chichi glanced at the elder; she had never thought that Rudel still harbored such a peculiar ability.

However, to cast this ability, Rudel himself also seemed to have to pay a hefty price.

Zennany raised her head, gazing at Rudel and Lin Chichi; her figure had all but disappeared, with only her outline faintly perceptible upon closer inspection.

And beside her, the massive bronze giant seemed to have lost control, suddenly collapsing into scattered blue light points.

Did it succeed just like that?

Lin Chichi watched the nearly completely vanished figure with keen eyes, slightly relieved.

Although there were some complications—

In an instant, the threads of her thoughts were frozen in place.

In the moment when Zennany was about to disappear completely, a sudden intense blue light burst out from the shattered mechanical ruins behind her.

A twisted and eerie noise-like ravings suddenly resounded under the silent sky.

Thick clouds instantly obscured the morning sun, covering the entire sky.

"Pu—"

Rudel, whose face had just turned pale, seemed to have vomited fresh blood again due to the failure of the exile, his hoarse voice asking, "Is this the power from an Angel?"

And in that flickering blue radiance, the nearly vanished Zennany almost instantly regained her form.

She didn’t answer Rudel, standing on the ground, slowly raising her palm.

A sudden burst of blue light erupted from her hand, illuminating the gloomy world enveloped in dark clouds.

Boom boom boom—

Countless massive bronze mechanical tentacles erupted from where the light pierced the earth.

Soaring buildings were shredded in an instant, and sturdy steel twisted like scraps of paper.

"Run!"

Seeing those flailing bronze tentacles, Elder Rudel immediately stretched out his hand, forcefully slapping Lin Chichi’s shoulder, sending her flying.

The next second, a mechanical tentacle fell from the sky, entwining around his body.

"I’ve said, Elder Rudel,"

Zennany, holding the blue light in her hand, smiled as she watched Rudel in the sky, wrapped up by the tentacles, already weak and breathing his last,

"I’ve always respected you, which is why I never resisted you and instead waited patiently for an opportunity, waiting until my power was strong enough, until now."

"You!!!"

Elder Rudel’s face flushed with rage as he glared at Zennany, and in the next instant, the bronze tentacle entangling him unfolded, enveloping him within the tentacle.

"Chichi! Run!"

While Lin Chichi was still reeling from the sudden turn of events, she heard Yan Yue’s loud shout from afar.

Lin Chichi immediately rolled over, retreating backward, dodging the tentacle that descended from the sky.

She turned her head to look in Yan Yue’s direction, just in time to see the top of a bronze tentacle open its four petal-like openings and ’swallow’ Yan Yue.

At the same time, the surrounding figures were also being ’devoured’ one by one by those tentacles.

"Sister Yan Yue!!!"

The girl screamed hoarsely.

"There’s really no need for you to be so heartbroken."

A calm female voice came from the other side.

Lin Chichi, holding the Holy Heart Sword, turned her head toward the source of the voice, looking in the direction of the silver-haired girl holding the blue light.

"Transcendents make excellent material for rituals,"

Standing beneath the heavy clouds and the flailing bronze tentacles, Zennany smiled at the girl in front of her,

"Once they die, their Souls begin to dissipate, and the Sacrifice’s effect will be greatly diminished, so you needn’t worry too much about them. At least until our battle is over, they’ll still be alive."

"You’ve obtained power far beyond Class B?!"

Lin Chichi gazed at Zennany, her hair somewhat disheveled in the chaos, a few stray locks falling across her cheeks.

"Are you thinking that if you hadn’t set up this ’trap’, things wouldn’t have come to this? If you had just hunkered down in the fortress from the beginning, would the situation not have escalated to this point?"

Zennany looked at Lin Chichi, whose gaze was growing stern, and continued to smile,

"But do you really think that’s possible? You know very well that you had to set the trap at this very moment,

"Because I wouldn’t be waiting for you to have the chance to call for reinforcements.

"If you came to the banquet, I would have killed you directly;

"If you holed up in the fortress, I would just need to confirm your whereabouts afterward and then launch a surprise attack;

"If you fled, then I would start the Sacrifice right in the city, and after gaining the power, find you as quickly as possible and eliminate you."

She watched Lin Chichi with a gentle look in her eyes, whose tresses were now slightly disheveled,

"You had no choice, you’ve done the best you could,

"If this battle had started in the city center, then by the time we clashed, hundreds or thousands of people would have already died. You saved them and also spared me some loss of Human Sacrifices."

Her lips curved into a slight smile as she took a step closer to Zennany, "The reason why even your best effort ended up with this outcome is simply because you are too weak, all of you are too weak, even all together, you cannot defeat me."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Lin Chichi, holding the Crimson Heart Sword, took a half-step back, her gaze fixed intensely on Zennany.

"Do you not despise your own weakness? Do you not crave power? Don’t you want to be like a true powerhouse, to Call Wind and Rain, to be omnipotent?"

Zennany looked at her, moving the conversation forward.

"You want me to convert to your ’Destroyer K’?"

Lin Chichi watched her, "Do you really believe all that bullshit they say about a ’new world’?"

"No,"

Zennany smiled and shook her head, looking up at the cloudy sky, contemplating the vast land and mountains,

"I’ve never believed in any of those things; my purpose has always been pure.

"Whether it’s the so-called old world or new world, I want to stand at the top of this world, to become the ruler of this world, and I will definitely become the ruler of this world.

"I believe in power, only in power,"

She stopped walking, smiling at Lin Chichi,

"I can see that you’re the same kind of person as me,

"I can see the deep loathing for weakness in your eyes, the near obsession with power,

"You are smart, girl,"

Her gaze lingered on the girl’s deep eyes, "Follow me, and I can give you everything you want."

Lin Chichi looked at the calm face of the girl in front of her, realizing that her counterpart was serious; she smiled, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll betray you later on?"

"The word ’loyalty’ can hardly be found in the eyes of those who pursue power,"

Zennany smiled as she looked at the girl, one hand holding a dazzling blue glow, the other reaching towards Lin Chichi, "As long as I remain stronger than you, able to grant you strength, you will keep following me."

Looking down at the outstretched palm, Lin Chichi’s movements paused.

It seemed as if the world froze at that moment, leaving only the dense, swinging bronze tentacles whistling up the wind.

The swirling wind blew through the girl’s disheveled hair, and at last, she redirected her gaze towards Zennany in front, smiling, "To be honest, if I had met you a few months ago, I might really have followed you."

"It seems I’m too late."

Zennany withdrew her hand, smiling as she looked at the young girl before her, "Did someone beat me to it? That ’impressive person’ you spoke of? Is his power stronger than mine? Is that why you don’t want to betray him?"

Lin Chichi lifted her head, looking at the colossal bronze tentacles quivering violently around her, shaking her head with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I don’t know."

She brought her gaze back to the silver-haired girl in front of her, "I just think that to become stronger, there must always be a reason, each person has their own, just like you striving to stand at the pinnacle of the pyramid, to become the ruler of the world, while I,"

She lifted the Crimson Heart Sword, letting the surging flames burn her body, her face affixed with a smile, "also have my reasons."

When she first drew this sword, she understood its power.

The flames that roasted both flesh and soul were the power of this sword.

The wielder could indulge these flames to sear oneself, the stronger the searing one can withstand, the stronger the power obtained from the sword.

If one chose too intense a flame, unable to withstand the fire, they would be burnt to ashes by this sword.

Of course, if one couldn’t even withstand the basic flames, they too would be burnt to ashes by the sword.

"So, what is your reason?"

Zennany gazed at the girl in front of her.

However, Lin Chichi had already lifted the Crimson Heart Sword, staring calmly at her.

"Regrettably,"

Zennany looked at the flames almost solidifying on the girl’s body, sighing softly, "you still stand against me."

The bronze tentacles in the sky danced abruptly, Lin Chichi raised the blade in her hand, thrusting the sword towards Zennany before her.

Zennany’s body drifted backward, massive bronze tentacles plummeted from the sky, blocking in front of the two, one of them struck the girl lunging with the sword, sending her flying to the ground nearby, with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"The length you can endure,"

Zennany kept smiling, watching Lin Chichi, "is how long your companions and the people of this city can survive."

She lifted her hand, and under the dazzling blue glow, dozens of bronze tentacles suddenly burst from the ground around Lin Chichi.

Then those bronze tentacles suddenly shattered, turning into scattered parts, instantly assembling into several small bronze giants encircling Lin Chichi.

She looked at Lin Chichi, "Let me see how much longer you can hold on."

At the edge of her vision, Lin Chichi, gripping the Crimson Heart Sword, wiped off the blood at the corner of her mouth, rose from the ground, and looked at the bronze giants coming around her.

She estimated her own strength in her heart.

The sacrifice of Duke and his men, plus the Grace left from previous sacrifices, along with the amplification from the Crimson Heart Sword, her current power should barely touch the B rank.

But still, it wasn’t enough.

The girl stood up, looking at the small bronze giants walking towards her.

Each of these small bronze giants had a level close to B rank.

Her gaze passed through the gaps between the bronze giants, looking at Zennany who stood last in line.

Then the next moment, she gripped the hilt of her sword, dashed forward to meet the approaching bronze giant.

The giant swung its arm, aiming at the girl, but she dodged with a swift sidestep.

Then the girl jumped up suddenly, stepping on the shoulder of the bronze giant, her body covered with blazing fire, and plunged the sword into the bronze giant’s neck, severing its head.

She stood on the giant’s shoulders, leaped, and directly overpassed the other bronze giants.

The thick flames spread from the seemingly cold sword hilt, covering her body, igniting a solid blaze on her.

Zennany looked up at the girl in the sky.

The surrounding bronze giants also leaped simultaneously, to block the girl.

Lin Chichi cut off the head of another bronze giant in front of her, and as the headless bronze giant flailed chaotically, she stepped on its shoulders and leaped forward.

She moved with extreme speed, weaving through the bronze giants, constantly dodging swaths of bronze tentacles.

The engulfing flames covered her body, growing more intense.

The agony that scorched everything covered her soul.

Dark clouds shrouded the sky.

This dim world was like a rainy day memory, the day when she lost her father forever in the chain-car accident caused by Transcendents.

Countless scenes from the past flashed through her mind, she remembered the young man who walked out of the light, remembered the Velora and the gamble with her life for that chance to survive.

Remembered standing on the banks of the Motte River, the towering figure who asked her, ’You wish to gain power, who do you want to protect?’

Her reason for wanting to become stronger was always simple,

’To protect those I wish to protect.’

The surging flames covered her entire body, pulling both her body and soul to the limit.

She severed the head of the last bronze giant, leaping from its shoulders.

The crimson wave of fire painted like a brush behind her body aflame, forming the Illusion of a massive Knight.

The Knight raised the sword in his hand, gathering downwards, merging with the girl in front.

Zennany looked up, at the girl charging in front of her.

The mechanical tentacles around her suddenly shattered, instantly forming a translucent shield in front of her.

Bang——

The knight’s sword ignited with flames collided with the half-transparent shield, and in just an instant, the seemingly sturdy shield was riddled with cracks, then thunderously shattered.

The girl’s body continued forward, brandishing the knight’s sword engulfed in raging flames, cleaving towards the face of the silver-haired girl below.

Puff——

Accompanied by the splashing of fresh blood, the flaming blade halted in its path.

It stopped ten centimeters from Zennany’s face.

The fiery blade was grasped by that fair hand, fresh blood glowing with a blue luminescence flowed out from the palm, then with a ’sizzle——’ noise, was scorched away by the searing flames.

Lin Chichi fell to the ground, watching the tightly gripped knight’s sword; she exhausted her last strength, yet couldn’t move the blade downward even a fraction.

"You’re quite good,"

Zennany looked at the girl before her, "Even Rudel couldn’t hurt me."

Bang——Buzz——

Accompanying the trembling sound of the sword’s hum, a brilliant blue light erupted from Zennany’s hands.

Lin Chichi only felt as if a tremendous force struck her body, blasting her away.

The dancing sword flew from her grip, accompanying her into the night.

Boom——

Her body directly smashed a crumbling low building, her clothes torn to shreds, tumbling over once, and rolling onto the ground.

Crack——

The Holy Heart Sword traced across the sky, plunging into the cement ground before her.

She struggled to prop up her body, trying to reach for the sword, but a piercing pain instantly surged through every inch of her flesh.

"Puff——"

Fine blood seeped from the torn wounds on her body, she spewed a mouthful of blood, her strength leaving her, and she fell onto the ground.

"Little girl, you’ve bought some time for your companions,"

Under the overcast sky, Zennany’s calm voice sounded, "But now, everything has ended, the first Sacrifices, let it be here."

The blue luminescence filled the sky, and bronze tentacles opened up, placing the people on the ground.

Those figures seemed conscious, but their eyes were lifeless and empty, standing as if mere puppets.

A twisted and bizarre power spread beneath the overcast clouds.

Then, one by one, bronze swords emerged from the tips of these tentacles, paired with the twisting limbs, they pointed towards the hearts of those figures.

Lin Chichi struggled to lift her head, watching those shadows, her gaze sweeping over each face.

"If you are looking for Rudel, he has already lost consciousness, only he won’t become the sacrifice in this batch of rituals,"

The calm voice echoed deep in the night sky, "I will make him my alchemy puppet, you have no more ’teammates’ to rely on, everything is over, little girl."

Hearing these words, Lin Chichi lifted her head to look towards the sky, a gigantic bronze tentacle hovered above her head, a slender bronze sword already sprung from the tip like a thin, long needle, waving in the night curtain.

The girl’s gaze slowly withdrew from the bronze tentacle waving in the sky.

She tried hard to pull out a faint smile, but in the end, she simply pursed her lips lightly.

Her strength was completely depleted.

In the sky filled with dark clouds, a massive vortex began to spin.

She struggled to prop up her body again, but at last, she only managed to twitch her palm lightly.

In the end, she just flailed her arms aimlessly, clutching her torn clothes, without a bit of strength left.

In the shining blue glow, the bronze tentacle rotated, stabbing downwards.

Boom——

A sound like muffled thunder echoed in the sky.

Immediately after, beams of light descended from the heavens along with the booming sound, connecting the earth and the skies.

Like an enraged Divine Being, the roaring fires of divine retribution descended.

The dazzling brilliance shone, forming lines between heaven and earth, dense as corals made of light, connected in every inch of space, thoroughly illuminating this gloomy world.

Countless waving bronze tentacles struggled to escape, but in that instant, they were penetrated by the powerful light, frozen under the night sky.

Including the remaining bronze giant, it too was smashed to pieces by the glow in an instant.

Lying on the ground, Lin Chichi’s eyes widened in astonishment at the shining brilliance; she wanted to move her head again, to see what was happening, but she had no more strength left.

Bang——

Under the shining light, a pair of boots crusted with frost stepped into her field of view.

Following that, a broad coat, still holding some body warmth, fell from the sky, covering her body clothed in torn and scarred garments.

Then, she watched a slender and broad palm grasp the hilt of the Crimson Heart Sword embedded in the ground.

Whoosh——

The moment that palm took hold, a surging, mighty flame ignited on the blade like none she’d ever seen before, fiercely burning.

"You’ve done very well,"

A gentle and calm voice, as if a breeze smoothing the ripples, whispered softly in the girl’s ear, "Leave the rest to me."

Buzz——

That figure took a step forward gripping the hilt, suddenly drawing the knight’s sword ablaze with fierce flames.

Brilliant illumination lit up the firmament.
