Chapter 381: Conquest!
The Continent of Zeuo.
The Holy City.
The night was deep, and rain began to fall from the sky, continuously dripping onto Aurora’s face.
The empty streets rushed past like streaks of lightning. The water on the ground grew deeper and deeper, forcing everyone to seek shelter in their homes. They silently prayed to the departed Sky God, waiting for the raging storm to pass.
And yet, some had long stopped praying.
It wasn’t because the Light God had fallen.
It was because prayers could no longer save the people of this world.
Aurora and her knights stood on the dimly lit street.
“My knights, let’s enter the Heavenly God Church and find Captain Garfield.”
In her hands, the tall female knight held a massive golden lance, too heavy for ordinary people to lift. Raindrops splashed against their armor and weapons, the silence between them brimming with determination.
Ahead, numerous Heavenly God Church knights blocked their path.
These knights, clad in golden armor and red cloaks, were loyal to Garfield—the knight in charge of protecting the Holy City. They remained vigilant against any outside threats.
“Captain Garfield, who has long allied with the Tylors, has been assisting them in unleashing the Decaying Disaster… an unforgivable crime!”
In the rain, Aurora’s eyes burned with conviction.
“If you surrender now, I will spare your lives.”
The knights stood their ground. Their faith in Garfield was unwavering.
To them, it was Aurora who had betrayed the Heavenly God Church, infiltrating the Holy City with the intent to sow chaos. She was the true sinner!
The battle was about to begin!
Aurora swung her massive golden lance, and in an instant, it transformed into a dazzling beam of golden light.
The knights in red capes were stunned.
The power of Babel Tower was beyond imagination—far beyond anything they could ever hope to attain.
“Why does she have this power?!”
The battle lasted less than ten minutes.
The knights loyal to Garfield were utterly defeated. Not a single one surrendered.
Meanwhile, Aurora’s knights remained unharmed.
“Sacred Heart’s Chosen.”
When Aurora first learned of this title, she felt confused.
But now, she finally understood—she had been chosen by the fallen Celestial Gods. The responsibility to vanquish the forces of madness had fallen upon her shoulders.
In this chaotic world, I am here to bring order.
“Let’s go.”
Aurora and her companions advanced toward the Heavenly God Church.
This time, no one stood in their way. It was as if all the ordinary guards had been withdrawn beforehand.
After all, in battles between mighty beings, the presence of ordinary people had long lost its meaning.
At last, they arrived inside the Golden Hall of the Heavenly God Church.
Magnificent lights hung from above, glowing like flames drawn from the sun itself.
Platinum walls stretched across the grand chamber, adorned with paintings that depicted the many miracles of the Light God. These were testaments to a past where the world had once been blessed with divine radiance.
But the future…
The future had to be grasped by the people of the world themselves.
A dozen knights stood motionless.
Aurora took a deep breath.
They did not need to move forward anymore.
The target had appeared.
Garfield, the red-haired knight, stood tall at the center of the hall.
His piercing gaze swept over them like a bolt of lightning.
“You have committed a grave sin by betraying the Heavenly God Church!”
Aurora interrupted him, her voice sharp and unwavering.
“Stop! We both know who the real traitor is—Tylor’s lackeys!”
Through the memories of the captured white bear man, she had uncovered Garfield’s true allegiance.
For years, he had not only carried out the enemy’s will but had actively aided them, offering counsel and guidance.
“Garfield, I cannot forgive you!”
Her fury burned hotter than ever.
She was determined to kill this man.
Garfield gazed into Aurora’s eyes, his tone cold as steel.
“The true meaning of my mission is beyond your comprehension. The mighty Light God has fallen, and there is no one left to protect the beings of the Continent of Zeuo… The Tylors are now our only choice.”
His voice did not waver.
**”For years, sacrifices have been made, Aurora. I cannot allow you to undo all the hard work! The Continent of Zeuo will become a vassal of the Tylors in this new era. Together, we will embark on a new journey—under their protection!”
Aurora’s expression froze in disbelief.
She realized that Garfield truly believed in this. Every word he spoke came from the depths of his heart.
“I don’t understand, Garfield. Do you really want to rely on the power of our enemies?”
Garfield was silent for a moment.
Then, he replied.
“If not the Tylors, then who?”
His voice was hoarse, but firm.
“There is no other choice, Aurora. The Light God is gone. There is no one left to protect us from the looming threats of the multiverse. Even if the Tylors aren’t the ideal choice, they are the only choice.”
Aurora shook her head.
“Not so,” she replied.
Her voice was filled with sorrow.
“The Savior of Babel Tower is the new hope of this world.”
Garfield scoffed.
“Aurora, you don’t understand.”
A flaming sword slid from its sheath at his waist, crimson lightning crackling around its blade.
His resolve was absolute.
“The Tylors’ strength is beyond your comprehension. The power you believe in will only bring more suffering to those who resist.
I will stop you—at any cost.”
Garfield’s mind was clear.
If Aurora defeated him, she would not stop.
She would continue to challenge the Tylors, and eventually… the Continent of Zeuo would be reduced to nothing beneath their wrath.
Everything they had endured, everything they had built, would be for nothing.
So, he had to defeat her here.
Aurora said nothing.
There was no longer a need for words.
Garfield raised his sword high.
His power of flames and thunder, granted by the legendary artifact “Thunderfire,” surged through the air. The sky above began to shift, darkening as crackling red lightning illuminated the clouds.
“Aurora, neither of us wants this city to be destroyed. Let’s take this fight elsewhere.”
In the next instant, his body transformed into a streak of red thunder, hurtling outside the city.
A massive crimson lightning bolt shot through the sky, shaking the land beneath it.
Countless citizens who witnessed the scene gasped in awe.
Aurora and her knights gave chase.
Inside the empty Golden Hall, a lone figure suddenly appeared.
A wolf-eared maid.
Expressionless, Kaluoer surveyed her surroundings.
She was another Core Operator, sent on a different mission.
Her task was to investigate the Heavenly God Church.
Her golden eyes flickered.
“I found it.”
With that, her figure disappeared.
She reappeared deep underground—in a vast chamber.
Floating in the center of the room was a platinum-colored orb, continuously absorbing golden grains of sand.
The Tylors had been extracting this essence through the Decaying Disaster for years.
Bai Yan, watching through his phone, immediately recognized it.
This was not the first time he had encountered such a thing.
But it was the first time he had seen it in this form.
The divinity of the Light God!
