You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 652 - 288: You Can’t Handle This Overwhelming Fortune (Part 3)

As the ritual proceeded, the brutal massacre continued unabated in the Fashion Capital, and in just a short moment, the death toll exceeded one hundred thousand.

If the ritual persisted, the entire city might be razed to the ground, and the number of dead could surpass two million, shaking the entire Blue Star.

This would be another tragedy following the Dian Country Fog City massacre.

Knight Gavin looked calmly at Vivian: "Little girl from the West Family, the one who presumptuously guessed the divine will, it's you. The descent of gods to the mortal realm does not bring peace, but rather causes the earth to raise arms."

The dark truth was ruthlessly unveiled by Gavin in front of Vivian.

"God once destroyed Sodom, destroyed Gomorrah, and even destroyed Babylon. Every inch of the mountains and rivers of Crescent Fertile Soil is soaked with blood."

Gavin, as one of the Twelve Knights of the Blood-Colored Sanctuary and a senior figure in the church, deeply understood that deities are beings of both light and darkness.

Divine grace is like an ocean, divine power is like a prison!

There is both mercy and light, as well as tyranny and darkness.

And in order to fulfill the divine will, any sacrifice is tolerable.

"I am about to ascend to divinity, this is the will of God, and no matter how great the sacrifice, the divine will cannot be defied."

Gavin raised the Knight's Sword in his hand, his gaze wise and devout: "God said, I will ascend to heaven, to stand alongside God. With the Enlightenment Sword and the Book of Omniscience in my hand, I swear to slay evil for my God."

As soon as he finished speaking, red light immediately surged, and the power of the sacrificial ritual continued to strengthen, while the casualties in the Fashion Capital escalated rapidly.

One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand...

In just a few moments, more than five hundred thousand people perished, becoming the sacrifices for this ritual of ascension to godhood.

Their flesh and blood, their souls, all became the nourishment for the Wise Knight to ascend to the Celestial Tier and stand beside God.

The path to immortal divinity was constructed with the blood and flesh of the masses.

The immaculate light, behind it, were countless cries and wails of the miserable.

The Blood Temple, which prided itself on being holy and light, treated the masses like lambs, taking and giving as they pleased, without any compassion. Such conduct was neither holy nor light.

"Ah~"

In the sky, countless red threads converged on the countenance of the Night Saintess.

After sacrificing half of the Fashion Capital's million residents, the vast power of the Blood and Flesh Refining Array was, at this moment, injected into her body through a special ritual, catalyzing the divinity of the Night God within her.

As an Ancient Emperor Realm powerhouse of Blue Star, the Night God ruled over the Crescent Fertile Soil for tens of thousands of years, until the arrival of the Emperor Slayer, wherein she fell in silence.

And after thousands of years, the divinity of the Night God still lingered with the Night Saintess, for divinity is immortal. As long as the descendants of the Night God remain in the world, her divinity could forever remain in the mortal realm through this form of attachment.

If divinity is nourished by a large amount of flesh and soul, there might still be a chance to bring the Night God back from the Spiritual Realm, resurrecting on Blue Star, to reign once more on earth.

Unfortunately, what the Wise Knight did wasn't to achieve an opposing deity.

He flew into the air, thrusting the Enlightenment Sword in his hand into the chest of the Night Saintess, until it emerged from her snow-white back, and finally pierced into the pitch-black inverted cross.

The revived divinity of the Night God was thus seized by Gavin, and the pitch-black cross began to crazily devour the Night God's divine power, and the darkness upon it deepened even further.

And below, Ye Qingzhou was already considering running away.

The Wise Knight Gavin, evidently possessing the Martial Saint Peak cultivation, was an unparalleled powerhouse of the Heaven-Ascending Ninth Layer Realm, just a step away from ascension to divinity.

And this step, he was about to take.

Ye Qingzhou came to trouble the Source Blood Association, and had no plans to lay down his life for Falan - the lives lost in the Fashion Capital had nothing to do with him.

However, suddenly, there was a drastic change!

Just as the Night Saintess turned into a sacrifice and her divinity was about to be taken by Gavin, the pitch-black inverted cross suddenly cracked open.

First small cracks, then the cracks expanded continuously, ultimately shattering completely, exploding directly in the high sky.

Gavin frowned: "I performed the sacrifice strictly according to the ritual, why did the seal and capture of the divinity fail?"

While he was puzzled, the berserk divinity broke through the constraints of the pitch-black cross, then transformed into a torrent, rushing directly towards Ye Qingzhou.

Or rather, it should be said, rushing directly towards the ruins behind him.

Ye Qingzhou dodged away, watching as the torrent of energy, transformed from the divinity, drilled into a pile of ruins.

Boom boom boom~

Tons of rubble were shaken into the sky, as Sofia stood up from the ground, her bright eyes reflecting the stars in the sky and the bright silver moon.

"The long wait has finally brought us the opportunity for resurrection."

Sofia... no, at this moment, she should be addressed as the Night God.

Knight Gavin saw this, his face growing exceedingly gloomy, and he immediately understood the key to it: "You left two shares of divinity, plotting for thousands of years through the inheritance of blood, just waiting for this moment to arrive, that was a clever calculation."

"This is all thanks to the Cyan Emperor, who allowed me to cast my gaze upon the Other Shore of the River of Time and perceive my destiny."

"Impossible!"

Gavin gripped the hilt of his sword tightly: "Your destiny was locked by the Net of All Causes after your fall, why did the Net of All Causes not alert me? Unless..."

Then Knight Gavin thought of the only possibility: "A variable, your destiny was infused with a variable that is uncontrolled by the Net of All Causes!"

The Night God did not answer, she only gave Ye Qingzhou a few more moments of attention in her heart.

It was precisely Ye Qingzhou who enabled her layout to deceive the heavens and the seas, bypassing the lock of the Net of All Causes.

"You deserve death!"

Gavin summoned the power of the Blood God, intending to take advantage of the Night God's initial resurrection, while her divine power was yet to fully recover, to slay her here.

"Tonight, all of you must die!"

"The one who must die, is you."

Boom~

A Thunder Palm descended from the sky, with the force of a mountain collapsing, breaking through the blood-red sky, pressing down on Gavin.

"I, Zhang Xinwu, will take your dog life today!"
