Chapter 311: Death Duel and the Emblem
Chapter 311: Death Duel and the Emblem
At this moment, Emma could no longer hear what Lyon was saying.
Pretending to be infuriated by Lyon's offense, the Wealth Goddess, who had already retracted some of her power, now had the upper hand in the dispute over the Stabbing Sword.
As the blade of the Stabbing Sword was gradually drawn, the Willful Scale at the top of the scale began to shake uncontrollably, and even the heart in the scale's pan had mostly disappeared.
"Roar..."
Seeing the sinful heart formed by the Willful Scale shrinking as the Wealth Goddess resisted, and eventually fading away, the giant dark-green crocodile hovering beneath the two women couldn't help but show a human-like expression of disappointment.
"Wait."
Just as the crocodile, who had just made a trip to the valley, was about to leave, the piled-up skulls at the bottom of the valley all simultaneously revealed a faint smile, and then spoke in a gentle tone:
"Don't leave yet, don't you want to eat something?"
The Wealth Goddess didn't quite understand the meaning, and cautiously took a half-step back, then tilted her head slightly, conveying her confusion to the Wealth Goddess with her eyes.
"What I mean is... since you're already here!"
As soon as the Wealth Goddess finished speaking, a soft popping sound was heard, and the very last tip of the sword, which was the only part remaining, was also pulled out from her own chest.
Immediately after, the blood flowed backward, the skin closed up, and the clothes returned to their original state... As if time was flowing backward, the wound caused by the Stabbing Sword on her chest completely disappeared without a trace!
"It's my turn to judge you, isn't it?"
Smiling at Emma, who was biting her lips and reciting the Poem of Pain, the Wealth Goddess, filled with annoyance, snatched the Stabbing Sword and directly stabbed it into her chest. The sword not only pierced through the Poem of Pain, which was written on a sheepskin scroll, but also powerfully thrust through her heart, with the sharp tip of the sword protruding from her back!
"Ugh..."
Emma couldn't help but grunt as her heart was pierced, and as the sword penetrated, she felt her strength rapidly draining along with her blood. Realizing that she couldn't hold on much longer, she endured the intense pain of being impaled and took a sudden step forward, opening her arms to lock the Wealth Goddess in an embrace.
At the same time, a deep-brown iron coffin, tightly bound by chains, silently appeared behind Emma. At the bottom of the blood-soaked Emerald Valley, a gloomy and dilapidated cathedral rose from nothingness.
The dark red pillars, with large patches of paint peeling off, barely supported the towering arch that was about to collapse. Under the arch, an old window made of shattered glass emitted a thick layer of dust, making the sunlight that entered the cathedral from both sides appear fragmented and dim.
In the center of the altar, where a candle should have been shining sacredly, a dim, pale blue flame burned. One by one, the gray-robed believers raised their lifeless, dried-up faces, their hollow eye sockets almost sunken into their skulls, and stared fixedly at the two women in the center, embraced by the candlelight.
"Damn it! Have you gone mad?"
Seeing the iron coffin with a smooth surface like a mirror, eerily reflecting her headless death, the Wealth Goddess suddenly trembled all over. She could no longer care about letting Emma experience the feeling of having her heart weighed, and instead, she mustered all her strength and started to struggle frantically.
The knowledgeable Wealth Goddess immediately recognized the origin of the iron coffin with just one glance—it was the Gate of the Dead, connected to the Dead Realm!
If she were dragged into the Dead Realm together with Emma, this damned executor would indeed be captured by the Dead Realm and would never be able to return. But as a true god in a physical body, she herself couldn't escape either! She might even be devoured by the rulers of the Dead Realm along with the true god, due to the overly vigorous vitality of the true god!
"Let go! Quickly let go!"
Watching as the Gate of the Dead was slowly opened by two dead men who had unlocked the chains, the Wealth Goddess hastily released the small sword and instead grabbed Emma's shoulders, desperately pushing and shoving her away. She twisted Emma's shoulders and forcefully raised her knees, almost crazily ramming Emma's abdomen, trying to forcibly push her away.
Emma couldn't help but grunt in pain, and her left arm, which had already turned emerald, trembled uncontrollably, and cracks began to appear. Still, she stubbornly hugged the Wealth Goddess, exerting all her strength to push her towards the Gate of the Dead.
The crazy woman! Damn the Purification Bureau! I shouldn't have come today!
Emma's determination to die terrified her, and she watched the iron coffin's lid open completely, even still able to see the deceased walking with their heads bowed on the Road of the Dead. Knowing she couldn't delay any longer, the Wealth Goddess gritted her teeth and took out a toad-shaped charm, throwing it directly into her mouth.
Next, a glass bottle containing a tiny black snake appeared in her hand, and she crushed it with a grip!
...
"My God! No! No! I'm useful! I'm still useful!"
Seemingly already sensing what was about to happen next, the wounded Serpent Spirit suddenly widened its eyes and began pleading desperately.
Hearing the Serpent Spirit's plea, the Wealth Goddess's cheeks twitched slightly, but as she saw the Road of the Dead getting closer, she eventually ignored the little black snake's plea and swallowed it in one gulp!
As my Holy Spirit, offer everything for me; it's your divine duty!
After swallowing the toad charm and the tiny black snake, the Wealth Goddess's face, arms, and back quickly grew fine snake scales, and toad-like bumps appeared on her exposed back.
"Let go!"
Accompanied by an extremely rough and angry shout, the power-boosted Wealth Goddess actually crushed Emma's shoulder blade with her grip, causing the two arms holding her to go limp.
Subsequently, the mostly opened Gate of the Dead instantly disappeared due to the loss of its target, and the surrounding dilapidated church and praying dead also vanished, and the two returned to the bottom of the Emerald Valley.
Having paid an enormous price, the Wealth Goddess, who had just avoided being dragged into the Dead Realm, took her first action upon regaining freedom and kicked Emma to the ground, then bent down with murderous intent to pull out the thin sword embedded in Emma's heart.
However, at that moment, an angry shout suddenly sounded from behind her.
"Stop!"
Oh right, there's you too!
As she watched Lyon rushing towards her, his face inexplicably flushed and his steps unsteady, the Wealth Goddess's serpent eyes narrowed, and a deep malice emerged.
You want to drag me to the Dead Realm, and you still want to save him?
Glancing at Emma, whose expression suddenly became anxious, the Wealth Goddess smirked and then beckoned towards Lyon in the distance, declaring with satisfaction:
"In the name of the Scale Gold Sect's Serpent Spirit, I buy your youth and vitality, and I acquire your marrow and flesh. I take your...huh?"
After beckoning twice, she suddenly realized that all her power was in vain, unable to capture the intoxicated Lyon before her. Even the shells used for the "transaction" turned into bubbles the moment they were used, causing the Wealth Goddess to be shocked and pale, instinctively wanting to retreat.
But after this delay, the person who had drunk Immortal Wine rushed to her side.
Having reached a distance close enough to act, Lyon, with a slight shadow, subconsciously used the police combat techniques he had practiced for two days, blocking the Wealth Goddess's arm in front of him.
Then, in a fluid motion, he flipped his wrist to grab her shoulder, struck her temple with his head, tripped her with his foot, and in three swift moves, he disrupted the Wealth Goddess's balance, causing her to fall backward. Finally, following the deadly move taught by the female police officer, he squinted his blurry drunken eyes and forcefully kicked at the Wealth Goddess's exposed chest and abdomen!
"Ah!!!!!!!!"
"Zzz..."
Accompanying the Wealth Goddess's scream and the all-too-familiar buzzing sound, the mechanical notification sound rang in Lyon's drunken ear.
[You have unleashed an unconscionable assault on a critical part of a true god. You have activated the hidden Golden Emblem, 'Regret'.]
Huh?!
