CHAPTER 444
The Best Viewing Seats
============================================================
Beyond-visual-range strike capabilities, spatial-level suppression techniques—these unimaginable methods were merely the baseline qualifications for becoming the Godslayer Queen.
Observe how the children have completed their mission and now begin their retreat. The first wave of firepower strikes will descend alongside the flames of retribution.
Golden pupils. One by one, the devices the children had placed in the forest activated the moment the group withdrew.
Like the ropes enclosing a gladiatorial arena, though composed of magical formations and arrays, they held the colossal Apostles firmly beyond the defensive line.
Immediately, the woman's voice rang out, utterly dispassionate: "Suppress."
A hail of fire followed, sweeping across the sky like locusts. Yet these were not shells, but multicolored energy spheres streaking through the heavens like divine abilities…
But that wasn't all. Among them were guided marker arrows, explosive shells, and other such weapons.
The rest, Ye Qinghan did not recognize.
Of course, suppressing these colossal beasts that obscured the sky required far more than this.
In this war, the main force wasn't these mortals.
Chains materialized out of thin air, clamping down on her arms. They gripped her already thin, bony limbs with a deathly tightness, as if terrified she might escape.
In an instant, several black transparent cages descended abruptly, completely enveloping the Apostles charging at the front!
The cages resembled display cases from Alec's collection, only black and transparent. Even the dozens-of-meters-tall hunters restrained within looked like figurines on display.
Lord Gu Ai had once employed this tactic, though Ye Qinghan and the others hadn't anticipated it could scale up to such enormous proportions…
Why bother with the Fallen Immortal Ruler if this existed?
But it wouldn't last long. With just a few strikes, the hunters had already shattered visible cracks in the transparent black barrier, which seemed unlikely to hold much longer.
But it was enough. The Sanction Blade had completed its charge.
It was as if this beast needed to be fed to its fill before it could work properly for its master. The Blade of Sanction was a bottomless pit!
Watch as the red-haired woman narrowed her eyes, conjuring a divine formation beneath her feet. She then stomped heavily upon it, standing steady as a rock even mid-air!
The Blade of Sanction was raised high above her head, swung around behind her shoulder, and then swung down with all her might!
[You say this blade can sever all things in the world?]
【Indeed. It is the authority of judgment, known as the Angel of Atonement.】
【If it is the authority of the divine, why is atonement needed?】
【Heh, you always say such strange things. It's just a name, perhaps chosen on a whim?】
【She's truly beautiful. Look at that blade—I can't imagine how she was forged.】
【Yes, she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.】
【Oh? More beautiful than me?】
【Are you jealous of a blade?】
【Actually, she's also the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. But when I grip her, I can feel her passion—a mad, desperate hunger for battle.】
【Exactly. Clench her tight, and that's it. The most beautiful blade and the most beautiful girl—both are mine.】
【Hah, wishful thinking~】
The spatial barrier won't hold much longer, but it's enough.
When divine retribution falls, even the minions of the gods must face the wrath of the new deity!
Fiery flames crushed the void, igniting the ink-like sky. This wrath was unstoppable—the so-called army of apostles was reduced to ashes in an instant!
Seeds of hope were planted in scorched earth; new shoots would always break through.
The false cage called "rules" will be shattered.
Seize power from the gods' hands, Pull them from their divine thrones! Slaughter them all without mercy!
True to her reputation as the strongest, the woman shattered the assault with a single stroke, slaughtering every Apostle beyond the defensive line!
"Children, slaughter these vermin! Wipe them out completely!"
"Follow me! We'll reclaim what's rightfully ours!"
"Tell these scum we are not ants!"
This strike was not the gong signaling the end of battle, but the signal to launch the offensive!
The children, who moments before had moved like the walking dead, now seemed brainwashed by those few words. Howling, they charged forward!
They swarmed toward the towering figure that swept away the smoke with its claws!
"Charge!"
Instead of holding their ground, they launched an assault. Countless figures followed the woman's lead, surging past the defensive line of traps and charging headlong into the Apostle army.
Like locusts swarming a field, like a swarm of bees launching an assault.
No banners were needed. The blood-red dance skirt and blazing flames were strikingly visible. Her very presence served as a banner.
Even the timid, upon seeing that crimson figure, found their fear vanishing.
In this war, death was the inevitable fate for the vast majority. It wasn't merely a matter of walking near the river—they were already drowning in it.
With a mere leap, the hunter's claws swept casually, claiming the lives of countless warriors.
Yet this did not deter the brave warriors. They only needed to follow that crimson figure, charging forward to annihilate every invading foe!
Before the eyes of the four direct disciples, the woman led what they saw as mere mortals, turning the tide of battle…
And this… should have been impossible!
They tore through the assault with flesh and blood, using their bodies as blades to pierce enemy armor!
The deafening battle cries echoed as the Apostles' assault crumbled, being systematically sliced apart according to the predetermined plan.
The carnage was undeniable. The boy who had just lain before Li Shiyao now lay before her eyes.
In truth, he had accomplished nothing. The hunter's mere turn sent a wave of force that knocked him down, and he never rose again.
He hadn't even managed to hold back the enemy for a single second before closing his eyes forever.
This was war. There were no protagonists or supporting characters. Once you set foot on this land, death was the inevitable outcome.
The only difference was the timing—some fell sooner, others later.
Even the strongest among them fell alongside Xun Ye on the battlefield of their final battle.
These young warriors had no time for training. Like Ye Qinghan and her sisters during their time with the Executioner's Blade, learning to survive was far more crucial than learning to kill.
Only by staying alive could they ever hope to kill their enemies.
"Reinforcements are here! General! Reinforcements are here! It's General Ye He!"
The crimson figure offered no reply, only swinging her blade relentlessly. The unquenchable flames now engulfed the battlefield. Both she and her army were nearing their breaking point.
Thankfully, that dead fox arrived just in time…
"Yehe, we must find a way to bring down that thing in the sky!"
The one in the sky was the so-called divine palace of the gods, but it was merely a Titan-class aerial garden. The so-called gods were not inside.
Yet this Titan-class aerial garden possessed six main cannons. While incapable of harming Bingling herself, they had inflicted heavy casualties upon her forces!
These cannons didn't fire shells or cause explosions. Instead, they emitted energy clusters akin to electromagnetic pulses, targeting only living beings without leaving craters.
Within a 300-meter radius of impact, all life is vaporized, as if it had never existed.
"Understood! I'll create an opening for you!"
The words fell, and a dual storm of ice and fire erupted. Ye He also activated his full drive, unleashing a power that seemed like a summoning spell from another dimension. In an instant, Ye He conjured a…
…iceberg…
