Chapter 614
Unexpected Spontaneous Combustion
Faced with Agrus, who carried a deep-seated hatred that transcended time and space, the Goddess of Night's fighting spirit, long since worn down by her long life on the run, completely crumbled.
【fighting?】
That's suicide!
He didn't even dare to entertain the slightest thought of resistance!
At that moment, the instinct for survival overwhelmed everything.
Under the terrifying pressure of Agrelius's vengeful fist shaking dimensions, His figure instantly transformed into a stream of light merging into the ultimate darkness, recklessly charging towards the battle barrier erected by Agrelius.
He pushed the rules of darkness upon which he depended for existence to an unprecedented limit, his entire divine body seemingly transforming into nothingness itself.
All of this is to find a crack in the rules, a sliver of energy, within the absolute lockdown.
[As long as I can crawl out, as long as I can escape!]
Then there's nothing you can't give up!
However, Agris's intuition for combat was unparalleled, and his ability to guard against the rules of the night was unimaginably powerful.
No matter how unbelievably the Goddess of Night applies the rules of concealment and speed of the night, no matter how cunning and unpredictable her escape route may be.
[Agrius's massive figure, burning with the flames of vengeance, was always a constant companion, each interception precisely blocking the Night Goddess's ever-changing routes.]
Beside him, Wang Meng stood like the most composed hunter and chess player.
His imposing figure stood at the edge of the battlefield, his deep gaze like a highly sophisticated scanning array, encompassing the entire battle situation.
His role was not to be the main attacker, but to provide the strongest support for Agris's blade of vengeance.
[Fill in the gaps!]
His will, like an invisible network, covered every corner of the battlefield, closely monitoring any bizarre escape attempts by the Goddess of Night that might exploit loopholes in the rules or spatial folds.
[If Agris, in his all-out attack, creates even a fleeting opening to intercept, and if the Night Goddess's shadow leap, born of the laws of the night, is about to take effect...]
[Then Wang Meng's finger, drawing upon the power of a true god, would, at a certain instant, silently unleash a battle-force of utmost condensation at the coordinates where the Goddess of Night was about to disappear.]
[In this way, the fleeing shadow was forcefully pinned back to its original position.]
His existence completely sealed off any possibility of the Goddess of Night escaping.
In June of the Extraordinary Calendar 1755, the Goddess of the Night, driven to the brink of despair and with no hope of escape, had no choice but to resort to gambling.
At this moment, despair transformed into a raging inferno.
[He let out a piercing, soul-stirring scream, and from within his body, which had merged into darkness, a terrifying, destructive wave suddenly erupted.]
He chose the final forbidden path of the true God!
[Everything spontaneously combusts!]
[The ultimate sublimation!]
The vast source of darkness, like a blazing sea of black oil, erupted from the very core of the divine body.
[It was as black as ink, yet enveloped by a blazing fire that could burn everything.]
In that instant, His aura surged wildly, as if in a final burst of energy before death.
[The power level that Aglios had been suppressing was, in fact, temporarily elevated at the cost of burning the very foundation of his existence, briefly touching the threshold of a higher tier.]
[A self-igniting true god of rules, whose combat power is sufficient to challenge opponents of higher levels.]
But He was facing Agrippa!
[He is a War God of the Red Heart Society, tempered by blood and fire, and hailed as the strongest among True Gods.]
Faced with the goddess of night's desperate, all-consuming counterattack, Agrelius's eyes burned only with an even more intense fighting spirit and a chilling killing intent.
Almost simultaneously, Agrelius's divine body erupted with a battle light even more dazzling and purer than the burning essence of the Goddess of Night.
That was a testament to unwavering faith forged through countless life-or-death battles.
His fist transformed into a hammer of judgment, capable of shattering all laws, carrying overwhelming power and an indestructible will of law, fiercely confronting the world-destroying flames of the dark night.
The temporary power boost from the burning was still insufficient against Agris's absolute strength and combat skills. The black flames were forcibly torn apart and suppressed by the even more dazzling battle light. The burning divine body of the Goddess of Night was forced back step by step under Agris's ferocious onslaught, and cracks in the rules spread across her body like a spiderweb.
Defeat has become an inevitable trend.
Just as Aglios was about to unleash his final, deadly attack, a subtle, unusual fluctuation flashed in the depths of Wang Meng's eyes, who was watching from afar.
His keen senses, capable of discerning the aura and divine power of the Goddess of the Night, detected a noise that almost perfectly synchronized with the violent energy fluctuations emanating from the Goddess of the Night as she burned her physical form.
[That was a wisp of primordial light, carefully stripped away, carrying the most essential core of the rules of the night.]
This glimmer of light seemed neither to participate in the burning nor to fight against Agrelius. Instead, it took advantage of the energy tsunami and rule disturbances caused by the main body's burning eruption to escape along a deliberately distorted location in the abyss.
This discovery left Wang Meng with a sense of unease.
[Dividing itself and fleeing from its original source?]
This kind of feint, if performed before spontaneous combustion, makes some sense—it's a way to leave a sliver of hope.
But now, He has ignited everything!
[The origin, the divine body, the divine soul, and even the true spirit all burned simultaneously in the incinerating fire, heading towards their final end.]
This is an irreversible, utterly destructive process.
[Forcibly separating a wisp of core essence under such conditions will not only fail to save it from being burned along with the main body, but will also exacerbate the burning speed and pain of the essence due to the act of separation itself.]
What's the point?
What is the significance of this?
Wang Meng is well aware of the ironclad laws of the universe!
The reason why the spontaneous combustion of a true god is the ultimate taboo is precisely because it burns the very foundation of existence, reducing the soul and the true spirit to nothingness, completely severing any possibility of resurrection and return.
If a resurrection spark could be preserved by dividing the source after spontaneous combustion, then the brutal nature of divine wars would have been overturned long ago.
But Wang Meng understood the true nature of the Goddess of the Night even better. This ancient goddess was neither a fool nor the kind of reckless person who would make futile struggles or attempt hopeless things in a moment of despair.
Every action He took was imbued with the cunning and survival instinct of an ancient deity.
Most importantly, the other party was incredibly lucky.
[Always managing to turn misfortune into good fortune at crucial moments.]
Therefore, he suspected that there was something fishy about this!
Wang Meng made his decision in the blink of an eye.
He instantly transmitted a highly subtle fluctuation of his will to Aglios, who was about to deliver the fatal blow.
Pretend not to see the glimmer of light!
Let them go!
Although Aglios was eager for revenge, he had absolute trust in Wang Meng's judgment.
The concentrated, deadly power subtly shifted at the last moment; the raging torrent of energy seemed to sweep everything away, yet it cleverly missed that wisp of escaping light from the darkness.
[He also wanted to see what the last embers of the Night Goddess's struggle truly intended.]
However, to ensure absolute certainty, Agris instantly activated the highest-level internal communication channels of the Red Heart Society.
[Immediately following, five elite patrol teams, each composed of experienced and highly skilled Rule Gods, received orders and instantly arrived at their designated coordinates from various waiting areas within the Star Abyss via hyperspace jump.]
He will track and monitor the fleeing ray of light in the most meticulous way, covering all the space ahead, but He will never disturb it.
Anyway, nothing much has happened at Xingyuan lately.
The True God Patrol Team has indeed been quite relaxed lately.
[He refused to believe that, under the watchful eyes of dozens of True Gods of the Rules, and even with three Star Gods of the Rules mobilizing the power of the stars, the last glimmer of light from the Goddess of the Night could escape.]
If they can really let the other party escape, then the Red Heart Society will be even more determined to capture them and thoroughly study their ability to turn misfortune into good fortune. (End of Chapter)
