The Beliefs of the People

Chapter 98 The Beliefs of the People

The first layer of the battlefield.

"Ren, did you hear what that guy just said?"

Natural Disaster, panting heavily, glanced at Lotus beside him.

Lan Su's telepathic message was not concealed and resounded directly within the space on the first floor of the stone tower.

Lian's eyes flickered, seemingly hesitant, but Tianzai's body had already begun to move.

"Disregarding his own safety, the natural disaster forcefully withstood the attacks of the axe-wielding gods and launched a calamity upon him!"

The Sage of Blades and Axes snorted coldly, about to interrupt the Calamity's fatal attack.

However, when the Heavenly Calamity forcibly withstood the attack of the Axe God, the Wind Twin Swords of Sword Slash had already secretly loaded the fantasy book of "The Three Little Pig Brothers" and hurled it at the Axe God!

"Emerald Wind Speed ​​Reading Strike!"

As the sound effect rang out, the Emerald Wind Sword split into three, launching a surprise attack from three different directions!

The Sage God of Sword and Axe had no choice but to abandon his attack, trying to block the two men's attacks with a sword in one hand and an axe in the other.

This was exactly what the two wanted, and Tianzai and Jianshan both sneered at the same time.

Both of their most powerful attacks were aimed at the weapon of the Sage God of Swords and Axes!

"Bang!"

The weapons of the sage god, including the sword and axe, were broken by the two men's weapons, but at the same time, the two men also lost their weapons.

The Calamity was sent flying by a punch from the Axe God, but the Sword Slash roared and charged toward the Axe God!

"ah!!!"

However, to the surprise of the Sage God of Blades and Axes, Dark Agito actually threw the Nameless Sword in his hand and his fantasy book to Calamity and Lotus.

During this brief moment of vulnerability, Dark Agito's body was viciously bitten by Charybdis's wide-open mouth!

"Want to eat me? Fine, I'll grant your wish!" With that, Dark Agito allowed Charybdis to be swallowed whole.

Charybdis sneered and patted his stomach: "Ha, become a part of me!"

On the other side, Sword Slash obtained the Nameless Sword, and Calamity obtained the Dark Agito Fantasy Book.

"Sarutobi Ninja Tale!"

"Dark Agito!"

The sword slashed, leaving afterimages as it swiftly moved around the God of Blades and Axes, leaving numerous sword wounds on its body and restricting the God of Blades and Axes' movements.

The same dragon-shaped totem that appeared at the feet of the Calamity Demon and when Dark Agito unleashed his ultimate attack appeared, and energy gathered at his feet.

"Drink!"

With a low growl, the calamity struck the God of Blades and Axes squarely in the chest.

The Sage of Swords and Axes was kicked away with a heavy kick, and the Sword Strike Kill followed closely, cutting the Sage of Swords and Axes to pieces.

The two, panting heavily, didn't bother to rest and simultaneously looked in the direction of Charybdis.

"Hehe, you two can become a part of me too!"

Karybdis stared coldly at the Calamity and Lotus, about to take further action, when he suddenly stopped.

Inside Charybdis's body, Dark Agito was not digested as he had expected.

"Finally found it."

At this moment, Dark Agito was enveloped by a black energy, which was a black curtain similar to Lan Su's golden curtain.

He actually used the spatial barrier of the black curtain to resist Charybdis's devouring and successfully found the source of Charybdis's essence.

Dark Agito unfurled the overlapping horns atop his head and punched the energy source that resembled a modified book.

"Uh—how is that possible!"

"Lord Stryus!"

With a furious roar of defiance, Charybdis's body exploded violently.

Dark Agito successfully broke free from Charybdis's body and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Ha, you're quite capable."

Despite his body reaching its limit, Tianzai came to Lanyu's side and helped him sit down against the wall.

"Well done."

Lan Yu looked at Tianzai beside her and Lian, who was hesitant as she picked up the Wind Twin Swords, and praised her.

Tianzai noticed the struggle on Lian's face. He gently nudged Lanyu beside him, and Lanyu naturally noticed Lian's struggle as well.

"Go ahead, let them see how strong you are now." Lan Yu gave Lian a way out.

Lian looked at Lanyu, still worried about her former companions, nodded firmly, and ran upwards with the Wind Twin Swords in hand.

When Ren arrived on the second floor, she saw Daishinji and Onoue Ryo lying on the ground, with a broken scythe remaining on the floor.

These two are indeed veteran swordsmen; with their combined efforts, they have already defeated the Scythe God.

"Daiqinji-san! Ogami-san!"

Lian quickly stepped forward to help the two up and placed them against a more comfortable wall.

"Ahem, don't worry about us, go help others."

Because of the movement, Ryo Ogami coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"But----"

"Go quickly!" Daqin Temple also gave Lian a push.

"I see!"

Lian stood up, took one last look at the two of them, and resolutely ran upwards!

We arrived at the third floor.

The swordsman and the swordsmith are engaged in a fierce battle with the fencing god. Although they have sustained some injuries, they are in relatively good condition.

Ren passed directly through the battlefield of the Kamishiro siblings and continued towards the top of the tower.

"Boom!"

Feeling the vibrations coming from the top of the tower, the sword could sense Agito's presence; Lan Su was already at war with Stryus!

They needed to finish this quickly; they couldn't afford to drag this out any longer. She had to go up and help Lan Su!

"Brother!"

Pei Jian called out to Heng Jian, and his figure began to move, turning into a cloud of smoke that swirled around Heng Jian.

"Draw your sword amidst the smoke of war!"

"The Queen's Ultimate Strike!"

First, an energy spider appeared on the top of the wall, spitting out flexible spider silk to seal off the Fencing Sage and the brother and sister.

The swarm of bees followed closely behind, continuously spraying thick honey, trying to fill the space sealed off by the spider silk.

Upon seeing this, Heng Jian quickly activated his ultimate move.

"Erase at the designated time!"

The Fencing God wanted to break through this space, but all his slashes were neutralized by the flexibility of the spider silk.

His body was already bound by sticky honey, and not only that, but two centipedes several meters long had also bound his hands.

"Super Wolf Smoke Bug! Queen's Deadly Flash!"

Hengjian seized the opportunity, teleported his sword behind the Fencing Sage, and pierced his body with a single strike. The Fencing Sage's body then exploded in flames.

Fencing God, defeated!

At the top of the tower, Stryus was no longer the calm and composed man he had been before.

Under the combined attack of Truth Agito and the Ten Holy Blades, he was forced to retreat steadily, and even the cloak behind him was slashed open.

"Strius, stop! Remember why you used to write poetry!"

Upon hearing the words of the Ten Holy Blades, Stryus recalled the times he shared his poems with his companions.

But he quickly dismissed it from his mind; there was no turning back.

Stryus then became even angrier: "Both my poems and your stories have already been recorded."

"Humans are like dust, insignificant beings! Nothing about them matters!"

-

The Ten Holy Blades, however, paid no attention to what Stryus said, and calmly replied, "It doesn't matter what gave me my story."

"The stories the author writes and his emotions will live on in the hearts of every reader as new tales! That's why I will continue to create new stories and continue to love books!"

Agito the Truth seized the opportunity when Stryus was distracted, slashing him to the ground with a single blow. He then flew out from the top of the tower and destroyed the giant stone sword next to the tower, stopping the world's erosion.

He landed back on the ground, halting his attack, and stared at Stryus.

"How can anything be meaningless? Every story, every poem, brings different feelings to people. Humanity is not as meaningless as you say!"

"To live one's short life to the fullest and leave a legacy for future generations. Humanity grows and matures through repeated cycles—isn't that a remarkable thing?"

"Admit it, Stryus, you're the one who's denying everything!"

Stryus clutched his head in pain, his mind filled with memories of the times he had recited his poems to people, bringing them joy.

"You're the ones who should just admit it! No! Admit it now!"

"Everything is predetermined; it has no meaning whatsoever!"

"ah!!!"

Stryus roared, and a black and gold page appeared before him, with fantastical characters appearing on it!

"Stop him!"

Sensing that Stryus's life force was rapidly depleting, but his aura was growing stronger, Agito unleashed two slashes imbued with the power of Oma in one strike!

"Blade King's One-Slash Slash!"

The Ten Holy Blades also sensed something was wrong and quickly followed up with their attack!

"Boom!"

Stryus was engulfed by a violent energy explosion, and the two stared intently at the spot where Stryus was.

Agito was somewhat bewildered: "Why is it like this again?"

As the smoke cleared, Stryus appeared unharmed before the two.

"Forbidden Magic Grimoire!"

"Hmm~ What a wonderful power!" Stryus exclaimed, feeling the power within his body that had surpassed omniscience and omnipotence.

The Ten Holy Blades gripped the Blade King Sword tightly, somewhat nervously. "This state...it's just like Raziel and the Holy Lord of Truth back then!"

"A-Su!"

"Touma!" x2

Just then, Reika, Rintaro, and Kento also arrived at the top of the tower.

Together with Ren, they defeated the most powerful Sword God. In the end, Ren collapsed from exhaustion, and the three continued on to the top of the tower.

"Linghua!" Ajita said with some worry, this situation is not easy to handle.

"I'll go with you!" Linghua ignored Lan Su's worries and stood next to Yajituo.

Rintaro and Kento also stepped forward to face the formidable enemy alongside the others.

"Hehehe, come on, come on!"

"Let me witness your deaths, and the end of the world!"

"Grimoire Reading! The End of the World!"

Dark red cracks appeared on the grimoire at Stryus's waist, but he didn't care at all.

He raised his hand and waved it, and the fantasy world that had been temporarily stabilized by Agito began to be eroded again, and at an even faster speed than before!

"Stories never disappear!"

"Rintaro, a wise man!"

The Ten Holy Blades raised their swords and pointed them at Stryus, calling out their comrade's name.

Rintaro and Kento understood each other and tossed "The Lion Warriors" and "Aladdin's Lamp" to the Ten Holy Blades.

"henshin!" ×3

"Saber draws his sword!"

"Special Holy Blade!"

The three-in-one Kamen Rider Ten Blades, the bonus form makes its reappearance!
