Chapter 4304 Premature Infants

Chapter 4304 Premature Infants

The dark, damp tomb chamber had been emptied of all its original items, and a massive stone bed, made up of thirteen stone coffins, was placed at the deepest part of the chamber. A five-meter-tall woman sat on the stone bed, holding something in her arms, while a veil of ethereal golden gauze blocked anyone's view into the chamber.

That illusory curtain not only created a spatial barrier, but it also divided reality from nothingness. The woman behind the curtain seemed to exist and yet not exist; the impact of the "mother" incident had clearly not yet disappeared.

Hundreds of urns containing ashes were placed densely around the stone bed. In addition, more than a dozen figures knelt in the tomb chamber, seemingly praying to the tall female figure.

The lighting here was extremely dim, with only white candles of varying heights scattered among the urns around the stone bed. The figure behind the illusory golden curtain was also faintly glowing, though it was also a golden light. However, the feeling this scene gave Shad was completely different from the feeling of the abode of the gods on the second floor of the temple in the [Swamp of Oblivion].

"Blasphemer!"

Miss Eden shouted and leaped into the air above the tomb. As two pairs of pure white wings unfurled behind her, a golden, illusory ring symbolizing her angelic lineage appeared directly above her head. She seemed enraged by the scene before her.

Golden lightning thundered in the empty underground tomb chamber. The figures kneeling on the ground tried to stop it, but Emilia wielded the Ocarina of Time to freeze time and space, and all the figures were frozen in place. Then, the angel's golden lightning struck the golden veil, but then vanished into nothingness as the tall figure behind the veil hummed a lullaby.

Everyone except Luvia, who was entrusted by Shad to hold Xiaomia, started to move.

Sylvie, Winnie, Emilia, and Claire fought against the ring sorcerers whose bodies radiated golden light. Even though these sorcerers displayed extraordinary power, and the golden light made their magical effects take priority far above ordinary power, they were still completely suppressed by the girls in a very short time.

This impressive lineup wasn't meant to fight against those who could be resurrected, but rather to open a passage the instant the battle began, allowing Iluna, Shad, Sister Daphne, and Miss Eden to directly reach the large bed made of coffins at the end of the tomb.

The air in this area became even thicker than the silt in the swamp, and every step forward felt like being constantly squeezed backward.

The hymn of the Infant Virgin Mary is clearly gentle, but when heard up close, it is more terrifying than the most blasphemous curses of evil spirits and demons. The power to corrupt the soul in essence comes from the egg-like thing she is holding.

"moonlight!"

"sun!"

The longsword slashed forward, the holy sword carrying the holy silver moonlight tearing through the barrier called the curse, while the crimson lightning thrown by Iluna, carrying the power of the chosen one, blasted a hole in the illusory golden veil that should have been unaffected.

Behind the tear in the curtain, a tall woman, like the real Virgin Mary in a religious mural in a church, sat on the stone bed with a gentle expression, wearing a brown hood, looking at what she was holding. The jet-black egg, as tall as a person, was also somewhere between reality and illusion.

Miss Eden flapped her wings forward, and dozens of feathers burning with golden flames flew from the hole Iluna had blasted into the interior of the golden curtain. Divine light exploded within the curtain, but then vanished without a trace with a faint cry.

"Why must we prevent it from being born?"

Amidst the Virgin Mary's low, hoarse sobs, a foul golden light burst forth from the black egg, its disgusting power almost making Shad vomit.

Fortunately, Sister Daphne's primordial fire had already ignited the golden curtain. Even the power of "Abomination" was forced back into the egg amidst the raging flames. It seems that Shad underestimated the power of the primordial fire.

The Virgin Mary, seated amidst the flames, still gazes with pity and love at the trembling black egg. The flames burning her body do not make her tremble; her hair, clothes, and flesh gradually turn black, which only amplifies her strange sense of holiness.

Regardless of what this person is trying to do, this is the best opportunity.

"Moonlight Slash!"

"Sunlight Gun!"

"Angel's Light!"

Silver, gold, and pure white light pierced through her body, and then primordial fire completely enveloped her towering form.

The tall woman finally moved. She curled up in agony as she was engulfed in flames, trying to shield the violently trembling black egg from the flames by holding it close to her chest.

Wow~ Wow~ Wow~

The cries nearly pierced everyone's eardrums as the tall body was completely burned. The first crack appeared on the surface of the black egg, which was covered in grease, but the primordial fire flowed into the interior of the black egg along the crack. The next instant, Shad rushed into the sea of ​​fire and cleaved the egg in two with his sword.

Wow ~

The black egg turned to ashes in the moonlight, but the cries from the void did not cease. Hatred, resentment, and malice ultimately failed to be born, and thus the power to hate the entire world exploded from the corpse of the Mother of the Infant, repelling time, space, and even all order. Even Shad, who was nearby, did not understand how he was thrown out.

However, he was also glad that he had been thrown out; the force of the explosion was even more disgusting than the excrement.

"Do not engage with this force! Everyone retreat!"

Xia De shouted a warning. Even Eden, who was fully activating her bloodline power, felt a deadly threat. Some extremely dangerous power, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, had descended upon this small world.

After catching Shad, Iluna immediately retreated away from the stone bed, and Sister Daphne and Miss Eden also retreated quickly.

The other battles inside the tomb were mostly over by this time. The ring sorcerers, who had turned back into ashes, did not reappear. After finishing their battles, Sylvie, Winnie, Emilia, and Claire stood together with the others who had retreated.

Enveloped in deadly malice and a hatred that distorted the world, a foul, golden mist engulfed the stone bed and rapidly spread toward them. Miss Eden, Iluna, and Claire together stretched out their right hands:

"Kagero Explosion!"

The supreme power of the sun and the spreading power of filth canceled each other out, and then the "Heathon Sign" that exploded from Shad's body forcibly created a small safe zone for everyone in the fog.

Although the power contained in that filthy golden light is not as great as that of the gods, it can still be called "great power" in the eyes of mortals. It does not represent the order and rules of the world, but rather the chaotic power that hates the whole world.

Luvia remained very calm:

"It seems that the Mother of the Infant has really been pushed to the limit. Using the death of the mother as the final sacrifice for the birth of new life, this is the only method she has left."

Her purple eyes gleamed with a chilling light, piercing through the filthy golden mist, as if they could see right through what was happening on the stone bed. Her composure at this moment was unlike the Luvia everyone knew; only Shad knew what this meant.

"So, that thing still came into being?"

Miss Eden asked, as she and Shad cast the "Heathon Sign" to resist the surrounding thick fog, since the supreme power was the nemesis of this abhorrent chaotic power.

Divine runes drifted across the golden barrier that enveloped everyone. Although the mist could not penetrate the barrier, everyone could sense that something was gradually becoming real at the source of the mist.

"To be more precise, we forced that thing to be born prematurely."

Luvia nodded; the current situation was still within expectations.

"Because of the impact of the 'Mother' incident, it was punished by the world's rules and could no longer be born normally. This time, our strong attack forced the Mother of the Infant to make the worst choice."

It was originally qualified to be a threat to the entire world, and might even have destroyed the world it hated before the end of the world. But after being prematurely born, although it remains powerful, it can no longer be the true opposite of divinity.

Luvia actually smiled:

"From this perspective, everything is just right. Even without the 'Mother' incident, fate would never have allowed it to be born perfectly. Although we are now in the twilight of the world before the apocalypse, the power of the world and civilization to interfere with fate is stronger than ever before; otherwise, Dorothy and Lacey would not have been born."

Luvia didn't say the second half of her sentence aloud, but everyone could tell that she was mocking the Holy Son Alliance.

What should we do now?

Emilia, holding the sword, asked with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Luvia continued:

"The being called 'Abomination' is the candidate that creates the chosen ones. It is a new form of life, not flesh, energy, or machinery, but the opposite of all life that mortals can understand. It is a life that has never been born in this world."

Whether it was because she witnessed the other's birth up close or because Luvia with long hair was exerting her power, Luvia actually revealed the other's talent directly:

"It has the characteristics of 'chaos,' which is not the distortion or decay of flesh and blood, nor is it death. Looking at it will distort the essence of one's own life, touching it will cause one's own flesh and blood to collapse and recombine. Where it passes, nothing grows, but where it stays, everything grows wildly."

Luvia paused for a moment:

"With the Spark Source at its core and the remains of some powerful life forms collected by the Holy Son Alliance as its skeleton, this newly born life is stronger than any mortal being, but it is still only newly born. Born from nothingness, now that it has a physical form, as long as someone can withstand its own erosion of the world's rules, then it is no longer indestructible."

"I understand now."

Shad, supporting the shield, smiled and said:

"Although this is bullying premature babies, ladies, please help me!"
