Chapter 504: Chapter 418 When the True God Descends, Everything Will Get Better_2 Chapter 504: Chapter 418 When the True God Descends, Everything Will Get Better_2 The part of the body that was pierced let out a sharp, agonizing wail on its own.

However, amidst the screams, they reacted quickly. The other two in this body temporarily set aside a part of what they were responsible for and attacked the suddenly appearing Colin together.

‘Tsk, after all, they are from the era of war. They endure much more than those Followers of the ‘Red Moon’ I met before. The Bone Spur can’t have a lasting effect. But, it seems he didn’t notice that I just used Time Stop to get close?’

Colin mused, then without thinking, he tossed out a “Flame Bearer” Grease Grenade to provoke an explosion.

It directly blocked the attacks of those guys…

Immediately after, he reached out toward the object a few meters away, half made of playing cards, half of a clock.

“Impossible, it already has a part that is connected to me…”

In excruciating pain, the Followers of the “Red Moon” suddenly widened their eyes. At that moment, they felt they had lost contact with the artifact…

Right after, the Golden Card that they had struggled for over a hundred years to move even slightly.

Actually flew towards that newly appeared guy…

“How is this possible?! It partly came to life already. Even without us, it would not be willing to return to a sealed state…”

“We have shed so much blood, offered so many sacrifices…”

“How could this be?!”

Three roars of anger came simultaneously from the consciousness of several “Red Moon” Chosen. They were the ones who arrived first, be it for unsealing or something else…

How could this be possible?

‘What I want is the artifact itself. What does it matter whether it’s willing or not?’

Colin looked at the lunatic before him, muttered to himself, and forcibly brought it before him using “The Sealed Right Hand,” and then he reached out, gripping the card…

It was at the moment of touching it that Colin’s gaze became vacant for a moment.

Time felt infinitely elongated at that moment…

Like waking up from an afternoon nap, blinking, and finding the whole world has changed.

But soon after, using the orange aura from “The Sealed Right Hand,” Colin forcibly suppressed that negative effect.

“Hiss, if it weren’t for this orange card, just touching it feels like it could kill someone instantly…”

Colin thought with lingering fear.

At this moment, he wanted to put it into the “Storage Room” and leave directly, but he couldn’t do so before suppressing it further…

However, there was also some good news aside from this.

[Task Ten: Bring “Time Reversal” back to the Starship Ground.]

…

“This is the shortest task description I’ve seen, but why didn’t the company just retrieve it here? Is it because they can’t or there’s some other reason?”

With this question flashing through his mind, Colin didn’t have time to think further.

He saw a terrifying dark shroud descending upon him…

This time, Colin didn’t choose to fight head-on; his long sword instantly transformed back into a revolver at its origin. Aiming at the enemy, the sound of more than ten bullets nearly merged into one stream, firing directly into the shadowy target.

The bullets, combined with flames, surprisingly were not affected by the darkness, penetrated through and directly hit their original form.

At the same time, the “Lethal” effect was triggered.

Combined with the previous effect of the Bone Spur, the cries from within the humanoid shadow abruptly ceased.

The entire humanoid shadow dissipated on the spot…

Red blood continuously flowed out from the cracks of the shadow…

“Hmm? This isn’t right; something feels off…” Colin’s eyebrows lifted as he grasped the Golden Card and fled, while suspicion arose in his heart.

Indeed, bullets fired from this revolver seemed to ignore most other influences besides actual physical objects.

But…

Logically speaking, the opponent should have many other means to block them.

Not like this, dying so straightforwardly. The odds of such an accident were too low.

At this moment, Colin suddenly realized something. Without turning his head, he “saw” a pitch-black figure standing up through the flames.

“Night” Descendants.

“As expected, this person didn’t die.”

Colin was not surprised, knowing that it must have used his hand to make a borrowed kill.

Without time to think further, a chill went through him as an image appeared in his mind—

Beneath his feet, within a hundred meters radius as if liquid darkness seeped out from the ground, he used Time Stop. Though time stood still and took effect.

The range of the dark entity was greater, enveloping him and the surrounding space beyond the effect.

Like a giant egg…

Then, after a countdown of seven seconds, darkness covered, engulfing and devouring him. Aside from a few powerful artifacts, everything returned to nothingness.

Its attack pattern was very simple, just some eerie form of erasure.

…

“What the hell is this?”

Colin was shocked. In the blink of an eye, his thoughts raced, turning the revolver into a long spear and thrusting it forcefully downward.

“Matchless Strike!”

A great amount of flame surged down the long spear into the ground, causing it to bulge upwards and a large area to melt. In the deep red glow, countless shadows evaporated…

Seeing this, Colin breathed a sigh of relief and continued to flee the area.

The “Night” Descendants tried to catch up, but inside their battered bodies, a red light emerged again…

Clearly, using that strange power had come with a great cost.

It caused those parasitic beings to appear once more.

“Good! In desperate times, still rely on the ‘Red Moon’.”

If the situation weren’t so dire, Colin would have shouted “Good!”

While they were hindering each other, he immediately set about escaping the large pit. However, just then, the various miscellaneous xenomorphic races that had been repelled by the “Time Reversal” came back again…

At this moment, upon seeing the transformed battlefield, they were all taken aback.

But after seeing the detestable flames, they all ground their teeth in anger again.

Compared to the Followers of the ‘Red Moon’, these days, no one’s hatred value could rival that of the company’s employees…

Especially those bearing flames.

The big ones couldn’t be defeated, but this smaller one…

“Damn ‘Flame Bearers’, I’m going all out against you…” A bizarre non-human entity, speaking in a language that the company’s passive translator could understand, charged forward.

But unfortunately for it, after the sound of a gunshot, it was blown into countless pieces.

At the same time…

A demon, covered in red and with green fire clinging to its skin, not weak in strength, showed a flicker of fear in its eyes upon seeing Colin.

Other people, seeing the “fireworks” of the explosion, also paused for a moment.

As entities active during the company’s pinnacle era, compared to the “newborn calves” Colin usually encountered, they understood all too well the horrors of the company…

They deeply knew how powerful the company was during that era.

Everywhere they went, they were like locusts crossing the land, often not only plundering all resources of a star system but also detonating or dragging away the stars themselves upon departure…

They were also fond of capturing various xenomorphic races and subjecting them to numerous inhumane experiments, exploiting their full value.

….

To let humanity assert its dominance, countless xenomorphic lives went extinct, and many creatures were forced to change their nature and take on human forms; even higher beings fell to become human…

In just a few hundred years, across the sea of stars, there was nothing but tragedy.

However, it was exactly the remembrance of the Great Will they each revered that fortified their resolve once again.

“Immediately release my master unconditionally, or else you’ll never leave!”

An alien creature, wrapped in a yellow-green aura of decay and determined like a moth to a flame, charged at Colin with a ferocious expression.

‘How much does your master pay you to be this desperate?’

Colin did not strike immediately but waited until it was within ten meters before decisively activating the Golden Card’s “Force Repulsion” effect.

The next instant, the aggressor exploded once again and returned to the “Time Reversal”…

When it would reappear next was anyone’s guess.

‘These guys are much weaker than I expected, barely at the level of common D Level Personnel. No wonder, their ranks aren’t as high as the “Night” Descendants’, and after so many repetitions, their essence was probably worn down a lot…’

Although he defeated it with a single move, the troublesome part was that, because of its leading the charge, others seemed to find their courage again.

They didn’t pause for grief over the death of an unknown Chosen of God; the next one blocking the way was a demon.

Boom.

They didn’t pause for grief over the death of the demon; the next one blocking the way was an unknown Chosen of God…

Bang, bang, bang…

There was no pause for grief because…

‘Damn it, when will this ever end?’

Watching one enemy fall and another take its place, Colin was getting somewhat of a headache.

Although these foes were not as powerful as before, their experience remained…

They wouldn’t charge at him all at once but came one by one, others providing support from the side and cooperating with each other, they managed to roughly hold him back.

While Colin was unlikely to be killed by them, an unsettling intuition grew stronger as time went by…
