Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 157

Anything that falls under the category of "supernatural power," even a miracle of God, can be erased by the Purifier with his right hand. However, the magic circle is simply too far away. Even fighter jets cannot fly to the stratosphere.

Therefore, Jing Shen turned and glared at "divine power".

The only way to stop those magic circles is to defeat the caster. Just like with "Angel's Fall," since the magic isn't complete, it's possible to prevent the caster from casting it.

"hateful!"

But faced with this simplest answer, Jing Shen couldn't help but grit her teeth.

She can't do this problem! It's too hard!

"Divine Power" simply stared expressionlessly at the Pure God.

Her gaze was as if she were looking down from a high place at an insect rolling around in the mud.

The archangel, who could destroy the world without lifting a finger, said nothing.

There was no sense of crisis in her gaze, nor even any pity.

There's no need to feel sad about crushing a tiny insect.

A torrent of sweat gushed from Jing Shen's entire body. To protect Ye Ren, Jing Shen took a step forward. This action seemed brave, but it was actually nothing more than a simple act of suicide.

The gap in strength between humans and "divine power" is absolutely insurmountable, just like trying to use the strength of an ordinary person to deal with a nuclear bomb with bare hands.

"Purify the spirit and vanquish the demon."

At that moment, Kanzaki Mizuki quietly turned around and looked at Jōjin Tōma.

“I’ll handle the ‘divine power.’ You take Nightblade and get out of here.”

For a moment, Jingshen couldn't understand what Kanzaki meant.

Because she said it so casually.

In this situation, which is no different from fighting "Big Ivan" with one's own body—

Without hesitation, without restraint, without tolerance, without fear, and without anxiety, Kanzaki stood in front of the Pure God, confronting the death-like angel head-on.

"why?"

Therefore, Jing Shen had no choice but to ask the question in such a difficult way.

To the question that Jing Shen had barely managed to squeeze out of his throat, Shen Lie replied without turning his head:

There's no reason. I have something to do here, so I'm standing here. It's that simple.

Chapter 271 Parting

Chapter 271

Kanzaki's retreating figure continued in a listless tone, "'Destroying the heavens and the earth'? That's meaningless. It's such a pointless approach. There's no way I can achieve my ideals this way."

After Kanzaki finished speaking dismissively, she took a step forward.

Jing Shen couldn't stop that figure from leaving, nor could she keep up with it. Although the distance was only less than a meter, it made Jing Shen feel like she could never catch up.

It was not because the enemy was powerful, nor because of fear, nor because of sharpness, heaviness, speed, coldness, or heat.

Rather, they are fundamentally different.

Facing the silhouette of Kanzaki, who possessed "divine power," she exuded an "essence" that qualified her to do so.

The Godslayer spoke:

"The battle that follows will transcend the 'human realm.' Be careful not to get caught in the crossfire when you escape."

Jingshen could not understand the word "escape".

Having come this far, where can we escape to? Surely we can escape to Mars?

Kanzaki didn't turn around, and continued speaking to the bewildered Kiyokami:

"Think about it, if 'God's Power' were to unleash a world-destroying attack right now, she could easily end all of this. Why is she still silently watching our actions from the sidelines?"

When Jing Shen said this, Jing Shen also realized it.

Since she possesses the power to destroy the world, why not act quickly? For "divine power," there should be no reason for hesitation, because she has only one goal.

Why didn't she quickly unleash a world-destroying attack?

“It’s not that she doesn’t want to activate it, but that she can’t. Even with ‘divine power,’ it would take some time to complete such a large-scale spell. This is not surprising; the ‘divine punishment’ that destroyed an entire civilization in the past also took some degree of ‘preparation time’.”

Kanzaki's retreating figure continued, "About thirty minutes. Heh, isn't that a bit too short a time to move all the animals onto the Ark?"

The purifying spirit was speechless.

Only thirty minutes remain. In thirty minutes, a cataclysmic magic will descend upon half the world in flames. Like hundreds of millions of nuclear bombs.

Of course, the Pure God's "Imagine Breaker" is no match for saving the world.

Conversely, if there's a way to defeat "divine power" within those thirty minutes...

"In that case, I can't run away! I must join the fight! My right hand can be of some use against these magical opponents!"

"Don't talk nonsense. If an amateur is allowed to get injured while protecting an expert, that expert doesn't even deserve to commit seppuku."

Kanzaki's voice sounded relaxed and at ease.

"Why are you still so confident? This guy won't show any mercy! All that nonsense you guys told me about angels not being able to kill is completely unreliable!"

The screams of the Pure God were like those of someone trying to stop a madman from jumping off a building.

"How can I leave this to you alone to deal with such an opponent! I want to fight too! How can I run away at this point?"

"you listen to me."

However, Kanzaki's back view appeared unusually calm.

"This thing in front of us has completely transcended the 'realm of mortals.' To think that we can fight against it, or even defeat it, is simply wishful thinking."

Jing Shen held his breath and stared at Shen Lie's back.

"But don't get me wrong, I'm not planning to sacrifice my life in vain. While I may not win, I'm not necessarily going to lose either. Perhaps I have a way to 'restrain' her actions on equal terms."

Kanzaki said quietly, "Purify the spirit and exorcise the demon. While I'm holding her back, please take Nightblade and dispel 'Angel's Fall'."

"Wait, what did you say?"

"Have you forgotten the purpose of 'divine power'? Her reason for casting the world-destroying magic was simply to undo 'Angel's Fall'. In other words, if she could undo 'Angel's Fall' before the world-destroying magic was activated, she wouldn't have needed to cast it, right?"

In his last sentence, Kanzaki seemed to be speaking not to the Goddess of Purification, but to the Archangel.

The motionless angel did not respond to her.

Because these things are unimportant to "divine power." In any case, in thirty minutes, the world-destroying magic will kill Nightblade, the caster of "Fallen Angels," and end it all.

Even if Jing Shen and others had used other methods to avert the "fall of the angels" before that, it would not have caused any harm to the angels.

So the "Power of God" silently watched as Nightblade escaped.

Her attitude was as if to say, since the result will be the same no matter what, why bother arguing with you?

She even possesses a more terrifying ultimate move than destroying the world: "stopping the Earth's rotation." She's just considering which method to use to deal with the immediate problem.

Jing Shen glanced at Ye Ren. Indeed, leaving her with "Divine Power" was far too dangerous.

"But what about yourself? Is it really alright to be an enemy of that so-called 'divine power'?"

"Who knows, but this is the best option. You are not capable of controlling her. You just need to do your job well and remove 'Angel's Fall' as soon as possible. Your efforts will definitely improve my chances of survival."

Kanzaki took another step toward the "power of the gods".

"Furthermore, I do not want ordinary people to be sacrificed because of battles between mages. I absolutely cannot let the Pure God Nightblade die, even if it costs me my life."

Is this really feasible?

"Yes. It may be a bit rude of me to say this, but I've decided to trust you this once. Just like you saved that child in front of me back then, this time, please save my life."

Kanzaki remained silent as she walked away.

Jing Shen wanted to say something more, but didn't know what to say.

Trying to stop Kanzaki will only waste time. Every pointless action will indeed reduce Kanzaki's chances of survival.

Jing Shen clenched her teeth.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Kanzaki! I've decided to trust you too!"

While shouting, Jing Shen grabbed Ye Ren's wrist, who was still confused about the situation, and dragged him toward the inn.

"Wait a minute! What's going on?" Nightblade asked loudly, looking completely bewildered, but Purity ignored him.

The gaze of "divine power" passed over Kamisaki and looked at the two, including Shirogane.

Kanzaki moved her body, blocking the "divine power's" line of sight once again.

“Your opponent is me. One of the duties of an angel is to serve as a messenger between God and mortals. At least listen to what I have to say, right?”

Kanzaki actually chuckled softly under these circumstances, and even had the mind to make a few sarcastic remarks.

Chapter 272 Eating melon seeds

Chapter 272

Kanzaki actually chuckled softly under these circumstances.

"Speaking of which, he actually told me that he's decided to trust me? Tyr said the battle at Misawa Academy almost drove him crazy, and it seems that wasn't an exaggeration. However, that's certainly the best explanation. Because of that statement, my chances of survival have indeed increased."

After saying that, Kanzaki reached out and grasped the hilt of the "Seven Days, Seven Swords" sword at her waist.

Silently watching Kanzaki's "divine power," he suddenly murmured to himself in a voice unlike any other.

"madness."

A deafening roar!

A huge explosion occurred behind the angel.

Wing-like things shot out from her back.

But instead of the elegant, pure white wings of a swan, they resembled a peacock screen sculpted from ice.

Dozens of sharp crystals, seemingly cut at will, lined up to form a wing, extending out like a mountain of swords.

At the same time, irregular waves were generated in the seawater behind the "divine power," and tens of tons of massive seawater surged out like giant water snakes or sea dragons, concentrating behind the angel.

Its back merges with the seawater, forming a giant wing of water.

The colossal water-winged sword mountain fully unfolded behind the "power of the gods," each sword measuring fifty to seventy meters in length. It looked like an insurmountable wall or a sharp crystal door that could sever a finger with the slightest touch.

Dozens of cold wings pierced the sky.

Finally, a drop of water rose above the head of "divine power." The droplet circled along a small circular track, transforming into a water ring floating in the air.

Their color is like the sea at night, a turquoise blue with murky shadows and an aura of death.

Each wing, from root to tip, is infused with "angelic power," and each attack can level mountains and dig valleys like divine retribution.

Even Kanzaki, who usually terrifies the enemy and makes them give way on the battlefield, was so tense that his whole body stiffened at this moment.

For an ordinary person, the mere presence of murderous intent emanating from the scene would likely have stopped them breathing.

"I've really taken on an incredible job."

As Kanzaki spoke, she lowered her center of gravity slightly.

Just then, Kanzaki noticed something.

"Tsuchimikado, where are you? Tsuchimikado?"

She's gone.

Tsuchimikado's figure had long since disappeared from the battlefield, no one knew when.

Faced with this emergency, Tsuchimikado still insisted on his philosophy of betrayal, which made Kanzaki both amused and exasperated.

"Well, that's just her personality. Even if we leave her alone, she'll find a way to survive. Now, I have to find a way to survive too. When using 'Only Flash,' please allow me to announce the magic name."

Then, what came out of Kanzaki Mizuki's mouth...

It is another name that she has engraved on her body, heart, and soul.

"Salvere000 (The Redeeming Hand of the Abandoned)!"
