Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 480 - 269: Siege of the Legend, Demigod Falls
"Okay, then let’s fight!"
Beatrice gritted her teeth and said resolutely.
The land of the Ense Empire will not tolerate the reckless trampling of other forces.
She turned to Qian and said:
"Is that thing ready?"
Qian nodded and said:
"It can last for quite a while."
She looked into the depths of the fog, smiled, and said, "At least they won’t have a chance."
Louis understood.
It seemed Qian also brought some good things out from the Empire.
Qian has now ascended to legendary status.
This means that the Empire’s high-level measures and tools are now fully open to her.
This way, he doesn’t need to worry about the advancement issue.
"Let’s go, into the depths of the fog, to hunt down the followers of Love God’s dark side."
He quietly glanced around.
Something was writhing in the shadows of the fog.
But he knew it wasn’t the enemy.
"Dark Crow Guards?"
"Yes, they have been returning one by one."
"That’s even better, later they can play a major role."
Soon, the sound of explosions nearby became clearer.
The terrifying energy fluctuations stirred around them.
The sound of weapons clashing was endless.
"Let’s move." Louis said.
Louis took out "Snow Country Frontier" and handed it to Beatrice.
"Snow Country Frontier" requires royal bloodline to use.
Clearly, this was a modification Xilin made when heading to the Imperial Capital.
Changing it to be usable only by the royal bloodline already indicates Xilin recognized its impact on the war.
Evidently, he didn’t want his painting to become a tool for enemy nations.
Along with a beam of light rising to the sky, a snow-white wall enclosed the surroundings.
Louis and the others stood on the rising beacon tower, gazing at the scenery below.
Qian suddenly spoke:
"Ascension is prohibited here."
Suddenly, a quadrilateral light prison descended, causing the priests of the God of Love Church and the followers of Love God’s dark side fighting nearby to fall down like raindrops.
Even the surrounding fog instantly dissipated.
The scene within the large fortress was reflected in Louis’s eyes.
Among them were several sharp presences.
That presence, just perceiving it, caused a slight tingling sensation on the skin.
"Legendary?"
Louis murmured.
He looked at Qian.
Not sure what method she used to keep so many stronger entities confined to the ground.
But she was still outputting.
"Gravity tenfold inside the fortress."
The fighters below were caught off guard and fell.
Less than half remained standing.
A tenfold gravity increase doesn’t just mean a tenfold increase in weight.
Their internal organs faced loads beyond many people’s limits.
Screams spread everywhere for a time.
At that moment, Louis spoke:
"World, stop!"
An invisible force field wildly extended.
When Louis first obtained "Snow Country Frontier," he discussed with Beatrice how to use it.
The first option was to conventionally build the enemy’s walls on the battlefield.
The second was now, turning the fortress into a cage for opponents.
Of course, using the second method suddenly would inevitably cause notable impact on their side.
But, if Louis were present, it would be different.
At the moment of stopping time, Grip of Greed spread across the surroundings.
The power controlled by Grip of Greed is essentially gravity.
This method perfectly counters Qian’s use of the gravity field.
His perception instantly differentiated friend from foe on the field.
In a moment, the priests of the God of Love Church were locked onto by him.
A powerful pulling force wrapped around them.
When time flowed again, they had been pulled up to the city walls.
"What are you standing around for? Heal yourselves."
He wasn’t particularly polite to the priests of the God of Love Church.
Indeed, the priests of the God of Love Church were fighting evil.
But their battling of evil is on Ense’s land.
If a precedent is set, wouldn’t all churches use fighting evil as a pretext to arbitrarily encroach upon other nations’ sovereignty?
The priests of the God of Love Church looked at their location.
Qian didn’t speak, just conveyed her attitude with her stance. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
She stood before the two of them, with her aura rising in levels, the surrounding clouds stirred, and tears of light ran rampant.
The priests of the God of Love Church looked at each other, then someone stepped forward and said:
"Prepare to face the enemy."
That was the church’s legendary leader in this small-scale battlefield.
When he mentioned "enemy," he was looking at a direction within the fog.
Clearly indicating to the church’s priests that Louis and the others were not enemies.
Seeing the church back down, Qian’s demeanor relaxed slightly, though she seemed almost ready to attack at the slightest misstep.
Louis never focused much attention on them the whole time; he watched the followers of Love God’s dark side below.
Previously using time stop was out of concern that the sudden gravity would cause massive damage to the God of Love Church.
While he intended for them to suffer somewhat, he didn’t plan to completely sour relations.
But dealing with the dark followers required no such tenderness.
"Clear the field first."
He chuckled under his breath.
Instantly, Grip of Greed spread out.
Inside the fortress, a series of cracking sounds occurred, reminiscent of the sensation of squeezing plastic bubbles from childhood.
Especially when twisting the entire plastic bag tightly—
The bubbles emitted a dense crackling sound, providing an indescribable auditory delight.
On the tenth second of the action, Louis halted.
