Volume 4 Chapter 260
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 260: Scarlet Execution
When Xia Yi heard Elizabeth speak, she froze for a moment.
Become… a god?
“Did you start this war just to achieve that goal!?” Xia Yi felt utterly incredulous.
“Of course. The Divine Authority of a King of the Upper Races has the potential to evolve. I have spent my life studying how to break through this limitation and reach the domain of true gods,” Elizabeth replied.
She had spent her entire life exploring the mysteries of the Divine Authority held by the Kings of the Upper Races.
The Divine Authority of the Kings of the Upper Races was passed down from generation to generation.
As for the origin of Divine Authority, it was almost impossible to trace. No historical records provided detailed accounts, everything remained a mystery shrouded in the fog of time.
However, due to Elizabeth’s lifelong pursuit of Divine Authority, she had once obtained fragments, snippets, from the age of origins.
“All Divine Authority originates from the same source, the true gods.”
This was the secret she had come to know.
Theoretically, the Divine Authority of any King of the Upper Races could evolve into true Divine Authority, allowing its wielder to reach the realm of gods.
In the Mythic Era, despite all her efforts, Elizabeth had not achieved this goal.
Therefore, in the current era, she was certain that if she could gather enough faith, she could evolve her Divine Authority and become a god.
At that time, Elizabeth would be able to fully control her own destiny.
“The best way to make someone submit isn’t to reason with them, but to demonstrate overwhelming power, a power that drives them to despair,” Elizabeth said. “Everyone in this world believes that the Anti-Vampire Alliance is the only chance to defeat me. They hold onto this belief, so I deliberately create situations favorable to the Anti-Vampire Alliance, putting myself at a disadvantage, giving everyone hope.”
“You… are you planning to…?” Xia Yi widened her eyes.
“Yes. I will invert that hope. Using my absolute invincible strength, I will turn it into despair, leaving an indelible mark in everyone’s heart that I am absolutely unconquerable. Only then will the world willingly submit to me.”
Elizabeth smiled.
Her smile was cruel, merciless.
“A war of blood and corpses is the most effective way to shatter the faith in people’s hearts, to make them abandon all unrealistic illusions. Survival instincts will force every person to make choices on their own,” she said.
“You’re utterly despicable!” Xia Yi pointed at Elizabeth. “Other Kings of the Upper Races in the Mythic Era could have checked you, prevented you from achieving your goal! And yet you deliberately chose this era, when no one can resist you, to act recklessly!”
“Say what you will. It doesn’t matter. This is already destined to happen.”
“Your way of thinking is far too idealistic. You cannot control the will of every person!”
“No, I can.”
Elizabeth raised her hand, her palm enveloped in scarlet light.
The divine ring behind her body began to rotate slowly.
“The corruption and domination within the Divine Authority of Blood can rewrite the will of every person. My Divine Authority exists to fulfill my long-cherished wish. On this land, I alone have the right to ascend to godhood!”
“You… have gone mad!!”
Xia Yi felt Elizabeth had become completely unreasonable.
Perhaps, from the moment she saw Cynthia’s corpse, a fixation had taken root in Elizabeth’s heart, and over the long passage of time, it had driven her to unparalleled madness.
“Mad? No, I am perfectly clear-headed. I know what I am doing, and I understand the consequences,” Elizabeth replied indifferently.
“This is truly incomprehensible, “
“Xia Yiyi, do you know why I care so much about you?” Elizabeth suddenly changed the subject.
“Is it just because I am a silver dragon, a substitute for Cynthia to you?”
“I admit, that is partly true. I initially wanted to treat you as a toy. But in reality, there is another reason.”
“Another reason?”
“We are the same kind of people,” Elizabeth said, making an utterly absurd statement.
“Are you joking? How could I possibly be the same as a madwoman like you!”
“No, you just haven’t lost what is truly important yet. Perhaps, in my situation, your actions would be even crazier than mine!”
“I would never, “
“What if Xia Lulu died right in front of you? What would you do?”
“……”
Xia Yi fell silent.
This was something she had never imagined, something she absolutely could not imagine.
“What if burning this world could bring Xia Lulu back, would you do it?”
“……”
“Hahaha, you have no objection at all! We are the same kind, and yet you dare to mock me!” Elizabeth’s voice was full of scorn.
“Shut up! Don’t think you can unsettle me with this, I am not swayed!”
Xia Yi raised her holy sword and swung it toward Elizabeth.
Before the strike could reach her, a blood whale leapt from the sea of blood, blocking the attack.
“Xia Yiyi, it’s time to end your foolish actions.”
Elizabeth unleashed her blood magic, and thirteen blood spears materialized around her, all fired at once.
“Divine Age Blood Magic: Scarlet Execution!”
“Holy Sword!”
Xia Yi gripped her holy sword.
Light gleamed from the sword. Drawing upon her Silver Dragon Royal lineage, she pushed her power to its peak and swung a strike.
Bang!
The first blood spear was deflected.
The backlash rattled her entire body, making it feel as if her internal organs had shifted.
“Damn it!”
Gritting her teeth, Xia Yi could no longer cry out in pain. She had to drag her body to maintain her defense.
Clang clang clang clang…
With the continuous clash of attacks, sparks flew.
The silver-haired girl fought with all her might, yet under the relentless assault of Scarlet Execution, her strength waned, her body screamed in agony, and she was on the verge of collapse.
The thirteenth blood spear flew toward her.
Xia Yi felt her limbs no longer belonged to her. Knowing this was the final strike, she could not move her body to defend herself.
Everything in her vision seemed to slow down, as if she could foresee herself being pierced by the blood spear.
Elizabeth smiled, ready to witness the scene. On Xia Yi’s body, a most beautiful scarlet flower was about to bloom.
Could it end… here?
Xia Yi felt she had reached her limit, about to be defeated.
At that moment, something entirely unexpected happened.
“What?”
The little princess widened her eyes in astonishment.
The Seed of the World Tree leapt from her body, and Miu Miu’s soul formed a protective barrier, sacrificing itself to block Elizabeth’s deadly strike.
