..."If... Heaven has gone blind?"
Huo Yuhao's blood-scented murmur didn't travel far on the deathly silent battlefield before it was completely drowned out by a sudden, world-tearing screech.
Just as those nine arrogant pseudo-gods, who had borrowed corpses to return their Souls, condensed a second round of Divine Punishment to thoroughly erase Huo Yuhao along with this final spark of resistance—
The sky changed color.
The sky, originally dyed brilliant and colorful by the nine god pillars, lost all its color in an instant, leaving only a heart-stopping crimson that seemed to have been frozen for billions of years.
"Boom—!!!"
A blood-colored bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a spear carrying a terrifying momentum capable of piercing through stars, falling straight down from the center of that blood-colored vortex!
It wasn't ordinary iron, nor was it Soul tool metal.
The entire spear presented a dull blood color, and its shaft was densely covered with dragon scale patterns that looked like living things.
Every dragon scale was breathing and trembling, emitting an ancient, desolate, and extremely tyrannical aura of slaughter.
"Thud—!!!"
The spear landed.
It didn't stab toward anyone, but instead plunged straight into the ground of the plaza between Huo Yuhao and those nine pseudo-gods.
However, it was this seemingly simple thrust.
An invisible, domineering-to-the-extreme wave of Law instantly swept out in all directions with the spear as the center!
"Buzz—"
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The nine god pillars that were originally radiant and frantically transmitting Power Of Faith let out a fearful hum the moment this wave swept past, like subjects seeing their king, and then... their light completely retracted!
All divine force transmission came to a screeching halt.
"What?!"
The nine pseudo-gods, who were just about to strike, felt the vast sea-like power within their bodies instantly solidify, as if a surging river had been suddenly cut off by a towering mountain.
Their forms maintained in the air sank abruptly, and they nearly tumbled to the ground.
That high-and-mighty divine pressure, in front of that blood-colored spear, was like melting snow meeting a blazing sun, dissolving completely in an instant.
Replacing it was a pure killing intent that made their very Souls tremble.
That was the killing intent of 'Heaven' which stood above Angels, the Sea God, Asura, and even the Dragon God.
"This... what is this thing?!"
The leading old man looked at the Blood Spear stuck in the ground in terror. He could feel the divine force in his body uncontrollably submitting to that spear, as if that thing was the true master of these powers.
Meanwhile, among the church higher-ups in the distance who were still watching the spectacle or cheering, several of the oldest and most experienced bishops felt their legs go weak the moment they saw that Blood Spear, and they collapsed directly onto the ground.
In their eyes, there was no pleasant surprise, only endless fear.
"The Blood... Blood Spear..."
An old bishop pointed a trembling finger at the spear, his voice sounding as if someone was clutching his throat, "That is... that is the heavens spear recorded in the 'Genesis Divine Scripture'!"
"It destroyed an era and recast another... it is the scepter of 'Heaven' and also the butcher's knife of 'Heaven'!"
"It... it really exists?!"
At this moment, millions of living beings in the entire Radiant City were pressed down by this terrifying pressure until they could hardly breathe.
Heaven really exists.
And, he has descended... In an inconspicuous corner deep within the crowd.
A youth who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old with short golden hair was tightly clutching his head, huddled behind a piece of broken wall, shaking like a sieve.
"It's over, it's over, it's over..."
The golden-haired youth—Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who had been in human Incarnation and hiding in the shadows to give Huo Yuhao advice—now had a fair face that was completely devoid of color.
"Even the Blood Spear has been thrown down... this is a total wipeout!"
"No, I have to run... but with this pressure, I can't even move a finger!"
...In the center of the battlefield.
After the initial terror, the nine pseudo-gods quickly regained their senses.
They looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they saw a hint of... relief, even ecstasy.
They knew of the existence of 'Heaven'.
When using the power of the god pillars, they had glimpsed that period of history ten thousand years ago and seen how that supreme being established this system of order.
In their view, their current actions were maintaining the order established by 'Heaven' and eradicating the heretic who attempted to destroy the spirit ring system.
"Heaven... has not abandoned us!"
The leading old man trembled with excitement as he pointed at the Blood Spear and shouted loudly, "Do you see! This is a miracle! This is the will of Heaven!"
"Heaven heard our prayers! Heaven personally sent down punishment!"
"This spear is here to help us execute this heretic!"
"Huo Yuhao! You acted against Heaven, and now even Heaven wants to kill you! What else do you have to say?!"
Hearing this distorted version of the truth, Huo Yuhao, lying in the wreckage of his mecha, struggled to lift his head.
He looked at the blood-colored spear that was close at hand.
The aura emanating from it was cold, heartless, and yet powerful enough to make one despair.
"Heaven... wants to kill me?"
Huo Yuhao gave a miserable smile as blood slid down the corner of his mouth.
Is this the answer?
"I refuse to accept this..."
Huo Yuhao's fingers dug deep into the soil, his nails breaking and bleeding.
"If this is the will of Heaven... then this Heaven is too unjust!"
"Since you want to kill me... since all of you want to kill me..."
In Huo Yuhao's eyes, a nearly insane flame suddenly ignited. It was the resolution of a cornered beast, a final desperate gamble after being pushed into a dead end.
"Then I will... borrow your blade!"
Since this spear was so powerful, since it could suppress the nine pseudo-gods.
Then if I can get it... if I can control it... could I turn defeat into victory? Could I kill all of these hypocritical religious fanatics?!
I am the child of destiny! I am the protagonist chosen by this plane!
In this world, there is nothing I, Huo Yuhao, cannot do!
"Aaaah—!!!"
Accompanied by a heart-wrenching roar, Huo Yuhao actually forced himself out of the shattered cockpit.
He was covered in blood, the soul core in his spiritual sea spinning frantically, squeezing out the last bit of mental force. He turned into an afterimage and lunged recklessly toward the Blood Spear!
"Stop—!!!"
Just as Huo Yuhao's fingers were about to touch the cold shaft of the spear.
A scream so sharp it broke into a screech suddenly exploded in his mind.
"Idot! Don't touch it!!!"
Tianmeng, hiding in the crowd, finally couldn't hold back and directly used Spiritual Sharing to roar frantically in Huo Yuhao's mind.
"That is the heavens spear! It is a supreme Divine Artifact belonging exclusively to Xuan Ming!"
"Except for Xuan Ming, no one in this world is qualified to touch it! Not even a God King!"
"You will die! You'll be turned into an idiot instantly by that slaughtering will!"
"Stop quickly! Huo Yuhao!"
"Even if you are the child of destiny... in front of that man, Luck is nothing!"
"He is an existence that can perform Negation on fate and rewrite the rules! Your Luck cannot defy his will!!"
