Chapter 1226 Proxy War
“Egyptian Sun God?”
Below the ancient well of Wu City, three stone statues witnessed this scene, their bodies trembling simultaneously, small stones sliding off with rustling sounds, their expressions filled with astonishment.
“There’s no mistake… that is Ra’s heart.”
“What’s going on? How does he possess the heart of Ra, Egypt’s supreme god?”
“Not just the heart, his right arm, left leg, and spine were all transplanted from Ra’s body… look carefully, you can see these areas are charred, likely damaged by the essence of some divine realm.”
“Does this mean Ra is dead?”
“That’s the only possibility.” The left statue paused, “We fled into this treasury to escape the mist, but in just a hundred years, a supreme god has died in the outside world… it’s possible the entire Egyptian pantheon has disappeared.”
“What exactly happened in the outside world during these hundred years?”
While the two statues on the left and right conversed, the central statue stared intently at Bifitu’s pulsating, burning heart, its gaze growing increasingly fervent:
“Only a ‘Klein’ level and divine ruin, yet possessing the supreme god Ra’s heart and body… if we could use him as a sacrifice, we could not only control this treasury but even return to divine status through the power of the [Holy Grail]!”
“This is the perfect sacrifice, delivered right to our doorstep!”
“Whether we can restore Sumerian glory depends on this opportunity.”
At the bottom of the ancient well, these three stone statues, who had been sitting cross-legged for an unknown length of time, slowly rose.
Dense fragments of stone and dust swirled in the well, and as the stone skin cracked and fell away, these three figures at the dim bottom of the well straightened their backs after a long absence.
…
“That is…”
In the desert, Lin Qiye stared at the incandescent heart beating in Bifitu’s right chest, frozen in place.
“That is the heart of Ra, the supreme god of the Egyptian pantheon… though only a fragment,” Number 22 said, narrowing his eyes. “Not long ago, after the gods of Great Xia destroyed the Egyptian Sun City and killed the Sun God Ra, during the chaos, half of Ra’s corpse was secretly stolen, and the thief… was none other than his proxy, Bifitu.
The laws of the Sun God Ra were divided among deities of other divine realms, but parts of his body were transplanted by Bifitu onto himself, who also possessed the Sun God’s divine ruin.
It is precisely because of this half-divine body that Bifitu leaped from sixth place among the [Ten Imperial Guards] to second, possessing power comparable to a deity despite being at the ‘Klein’ level.”
Number 22 paused briefly, licked his lips, and muttered: “Truly a perfect sacrifice…”
Transplanting the body of your deity after they die?
Lin Qiye looked at Bifitu, who resembled a stitched-together monster, his brow furrowing deeper.
No wonder Bifitu could escape from the old city lord’s grasp after having his spiritual power level drained by the [Scepter]. Even with just this divine body, he possessed terrifyingly powerful combat abilities.
Bifitu’s gaze swept over Lin Qiye and the two divine artifacts in Number 22’s hands before he spoke calmly:
“Fine… I’ll take both the secret of the dual divine proxy and the ‘supreme’ artifacts.”
Boom——!!!
Bifitu stomped the ground fiercely, white-hot divine sunlight erupted from his left foot, instantly vaporizing the desert below, and his entire body moved at a speed approaching teleportation, flashing before Lin Qiye!
He moved too fast, even Lin Qiye’s spiritual perception couldn’t track him in time. Without a moment to think, Lin Qiye’s form dissolved into night shadows, flashing backward.
At that moment, Bifitu raised his right arm radiating white-hot divine light, clenched his fist tightly, and smashed it toward the void before him!
The dazzling white light was like the sun at close range, unbearably bright. The surrounding space seemed to melt and rapidly distort. The powerful compression forced Lin Qiye out of his [Night Flash], causing him to stagger backward.
That arm could actually interfere with space?
Lin Qiye’s heart immediately sank.
The next moment, Bifitu’s sun-like right arm shot like a cannonball toward Lin Qiye’s chest.
Clang——!!
Not far away, the tip of the [Scepter] touched the ground, and golden ripples instantly swept across both figures.
“This is bad!” Lin Qiye was startled.
During their battle, Number 22 had seized the opportunity to enter the [Scepter]’s range, draining both their spiritual power levels to fill himself.
Lin Qiye felt his body empty, an unprecedented feeling of hollowness rising from deep within. A golden thread floated out from his body, flying toward Number 22 nearby.
Of course, Lin Qiye wasn’t the only one who lost his spiritual power level. After the golden thread left his body, Bifitu’s sun-bright right arm rapidly dimmed, with only a faint white light flowing through it.
The fist struck Lin Qiye’s chest, immediately turning him into a black projectile that whistled through the air before crashing into a sand dune behind him.
Even without the divine ruin’s power, this “supreme divine arm” was still more than Lin Qiye’s physical body could withstand.
After delivering the punch, Bifitu didn’t pursue to finish him off, but instead withdrew his gaze and looked toward Number 22.
In his understanding, with his spiritual power drained and taking a direct hit from his fist, Lin Qiye should be either dead or completely incapacitated with broken bones. This left only Number 22, who held two divine artifacts, as his opponent.
Having absorbed the spiritual power of both Bifitu and Lin Qiye, Number 22’s spiritual power had reached a terrifyingly immense level. Pink halos surged like tides, countless blood-stirring images floated in the air, like invisible jade hands teasing humanity’s most primitive desires.
Under the wash of the pink waves, Bifitu’s brow slightly furrowed, the white-hot heart beating violently, constantly purifying the lustful energy invading his body.
“Such base tactics cannot trap me,” Bifitu snorted coldly, his form darting forward like lightning.
“What a monster!” Number 22 cursed under his breath, rapidly retreating while raising the [Holy Grail] in his hand and whispering:
“I wish for [Sword] to turn against its master!”
As the words fell, the swaying liquid in the [Holy Grail] immediately decreased by a large amount. Number 22 looked at the little remaining wine in the cup, his face full of distress.
In a flash, the [Sword] gripped in Bifitu’s hand suddenly reversed and slashed at the transplanted supreme divine arm. With a resonant boom, the faint light covering the arm’s surface shattered like glass, and the entire pale arm visibly began to decay.
The King’s [Sword] contained laws that could slay deities, and Bifitu’s transplanted divine body was precisely the target that the [Sword] could harm.
This sudden turn of events made Bifitu’s eyes narrow, but before he could react, another explosive sound came from the deep sand pit in the distance.
An intangible soul ascended, and in an instant, the weather changed dramatically!
Yin winds swept through the yellow sand, howling beneath the thunder clouds. The spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth rapidly converged toward the center of the windblown sand, quickly condensing into a colossal figure that reached from earth to sky!
