Chapter 576 Shoot the Arrow First, Then Draw the Target
Winter has arrived, and the bitter cold has descended.
The endless cold wind and the icy light collided, mixed with the sounds of chanting.
"He will speak boastful words to the Most High, he will torment the Most High’s holy people, and he will try to change the festivals and the law."
"However, the judge will sit and carry out the judgment, and his authority will be taken away, destroyed, and utterly destroyed. The kingdom,
"Power and authority over all the kingdoms of the world will be given to the holy people of the Most High."
The soaring chants echoed in the cold wind, the steel-colored earth dimmed at a visible speed, and Joseph's vitality weakened accordingly.
"Hymn Team"
Joseph scoffed. "You've got some nerve, daring to try and suppress my Holy Light."
The choir was an orthodox department directly under Catherine the Great, and it was her largest base of support.
All members of the chorus are followers of Ekaterina, able to bestow their own power upon her and also receive her blessings.
After Ekaterina's breakthrough, the strength of the members of the Anthem Team also increased, and they were able to participate in battles of eight stars and above.
A radiant holy light slowly rose in the distance, forming a platinum cross. Its supreme and unparalleled power spread far and wide, actually suppressing Joseph's aura.
"In the name of Saint Catherine, we judge the traitor. The saint who was bathed in the uncreated light has become Judas. We will take away his authority and judge his evil deeds."
Joseph was a powerful figure who had broken through two heavenly barriers, but with the help of the faith of the Ursus Orthodox Church, he was able to possess additional external power.
His immense faith empowered him, serving as his spiritual driving force.
Even though Joseph broke away from the faith system, he still drew strength from his years of control over the orthodox faith.
But now, this channel of power has been cut off.
It was severed by the radiance that belonged to the saintess.
A sudden gust of cold wind invaded Joseph's territory, and frost spread, freezing even the gleam of the steel.
Although Ursus is known for its fierceness, its warriors do not rely on individual strength, but rather on the combined strength of many to form a cohesive whole.
But military strategists are an exception.
He did not follow the path of unity, did not join the Radiant System, nor did he follow the path of faith. He was one of the few true warriors in Ursus who was known for his individual greatness.
Back in the day, he even fought with a general.
Although the defeat was somewhat crushing, at least the general was held up for a whole day.
"You, go and deal with Catherine."
As Joseph spoke, he condensed holy light, forming a thick heavenly armor.
Then, two forces and two figures erupted, colliding like two mountains.
"Andrei!"
"Joseph!"
Amidst roars, their ferocious fists clashed head-on, sweeping in all directions and even causing distant mountains to tremble.
"Why does this feel like a battle between a hot mom from Hassan and Marada?"
.....
...
Bai Ze observed the battle between the two sides through the projection of light and shadow, and upon hearing the two loud roars, he muttered to himself.
To be honest, those two are really reckless.
Completely abandoning defense, he channeled all his power into his fists, making every move a powerful and relentless assault.
Military strategist Andrei was a powerful figure who broke through the barriers of both body and qi, while Joseph broke through the barriers of both mind and body.
However, both of them abandoned the mysteries of Qi and the suppression of their mental state, choosing the most brutal fighting style, which is also the most Ursus-style combat tactic—melee combat.
One technique incorporates the cold wind into the fist, with each move carrying an extreme chill.
The other one uses an iron will to interfere with matter, infinitely increasing the strength of his physical body. As long as his will remains unwavering, even if his physical body is shattered, he can manipulate atoms to reassemble it.
"It seems that my father-in-law is not at a disadvantage at all. Even if he cannot win, he will not be defeated in a short period of time."
Bai Ze stroked his chin, speculating about the battle situation. "Once the Holy Walker intervenes, Joseph will definitely be at a disadvantage. That's fine too, I won't have to show myself."
He's not at his peak right now, considering he managed to overcome three obstacles and break through the encirclement in a short period of time.
The strike that clashed with Indra's lightning inflicted considerable damage on Bai Ze.
With his current level of cultivation, it would take him at least ten minutes to recover if he didn't use the "words become law" technique.
Bai Ze looked down and saw that the Xuanhuang Qi was swirling around him, and his broken half of his body was constantly healing.
"It should take about six minutes now."
In addition, the divine energy consumed is huge and needs some time to recover.
As Bai Ze pondered this, he sat cross-legged in mid-air, absorbing vital energy and circulating his cultivation technique.
Within the sea of consciousness, the newly formed primordial spirit was also meditating in sync, with the three souls and seven spirits interacting and feeding back the changes in the physical body to the primordial spirit.
When ten chaotic voids appear within the primordial spirit, and heaven and earth are in a state of profound mystery, then Bai Ze's celestial soul will be considered complete.
At that time, with the three souls and seven spirits complete, one will have reached the limits of both material and spiritual existence. Only by breaking through the heavenly barrier can one continue to advance.
This process can also be accelerated by the power of words. The time required is roughly calculated by Bai Ze in his mind, making his future path clear.
He had already used Hua Letian to deduce his future path, and even transformed it into a tangible force. Now, he was simply walking on the predetermined path, so naturally he would not be confused.
With accelerated progress, I can reach the peak of the Heavenly Soul Realm within a year. If other opportunities arise, this time can be shortened further.
A year is a bit long, but it's still acceptable.
Despite the numerous major battles that have taken place, the time to truly determine the victor is still far off.
Those who can stand firm in today's world and become a great power are not so easy to fall.
Some countries even have other global supporters behind them.
For example, the Western Union has the Mechanical World as its backing and also has a large number of troops stationed in the Wasteland.
The Shinra Empire, on the other hand, is supported by the Spirit Realm, and their twelve gods are all beings from the Spirit Realm.
Ursus's divine enemy will share divine will, and when necessary, the entire population can be mobilized as soldiers.
Not to mention the Dead Hand system, which can bring the tide of battle at crucial moments.
All sorts of precautions have been taken, ironically, most of which are aimed at humans, who are also of the same race.
Bai Ze smiled sarcastically.
In the various works I read in my past life, they all envisioned a future where humanity would become a unified whole to face threats from either the stars or from other worlds.
However, the reality now is that external threats have failed to bring about the emergence of a human community; on the contrary, the antagonism has become increasingly apparent.
Of course, it's also possible that the external threat wasn't strong enough.
An interesting world.
Bai Ze was looking forward to seeing how things would develop in the future.
"Do you think humanity will form a community?" Bai Ze suddenly asked.
"It's highly unlikely."
A calm and elegant voice rang out, and a woman dressed in a traditional Sanskrit saris and wearing a veil appeared under a large tree not far away.
"Even if all the enemies of the gods were to die, it would not be possible for a community to emerge."
The woman gave a cryptic laugh. "Unless time can be reversed, back to eighty years ago."
"Why eighty years ago?"
The space around Bai Ze shifted; he was originally sitting forward, but now he was facing the woman.
He looked at the woman with a curious expression, asking questions as he did so.
This is a young Indian woman, probably no older than thirty, and her spiritual level is...
Bai Ze noticed the other person's gaze.
Those calm and indifferent eyes, yet full of vitality like the rising sun.
"Koschae?" Bai Ze was starting to lose his composure.
He certainly recognized that look; after all, that person's shadow was everywhere.
Bai Ze had anticipated Kosh'e's sudden appearance, but he hadn't expected her to appear as a woman.
"Don't be surprised, for me, appearance and gender are the least important things."
Koche spoke in a clear and elegant voice, then walked gracefully to the large rock beside him and sat down with his legs turned to the side.
That pose was graceful and alluring, more womanly than any woman.
"Because eighty years ago, Shiva changed his foundation, transforming from the god of destruction Shiva into the demon Shiva. Since then, Shiva's power has taken root in people's hearts, and thus He has been the one who has driven the division and corruption of mankind."
Kosh said slowly, "We will use the method of faith to spread, allowing spirit beings to come to Earth one by one and don the skin of gods. We will secretly teach them the derivation method of turning the ethereal into the real, so that the gods of the Shinra Empire can create their own bloodline, leading to the emergence of that vast empire."
"The reason why the gods of the human world were able to control the nine gods and gain dominance in the beginning was because of the help of the Great Freedom."
"From then on, division and confrontation became the inevitable future."
The beings from another world cooperated and merged with the humans of Earth, forming a powerful force.
To achieve unity, these beings from other worlds must also be included.
"Da Zizai really went to great lengths," Bai Ze said.
The transformation from the God of Destruction to the Lord of Others and Freedom may seem like a demotion, but in reality, it greatly broadened the path ahead.
The power of evil gods is built upon the power of faith. They don guises to grow through the power of will. The more faith they can absorb, the wider their path will be.
If we only consider the power of legends about disguises, then all evil gods would probably have to don the disguises of deities from India.
Only the mythology of Sanskrit and India is still being updated in real time. Even after the country was destroyed, it did not stop, and it became more and more exaggerated, often talking about destroying the universe.
The Great Freedom abandoned the identity of Shiva, the god of destruction, and chose the demonic Freedom, drawing strength from the desires of people to grow. From then on, He became bound to the dark side of human nature, able to absorb all desires.
Everyone, even those who haven't received the demon blood, can become an aid to Great Freedom.
The entire planet Earth is a vast, free field of leeks (a metaphor for exploiting humans).
From this perspective, the Great Freedom is actually the evil god who least wants humanity to perish, or even weaken.
The better humanity develops, the stronger its sense of freedom becomes.
"How could one become the number one evil god without going to great lengths?"
Koschee chuckled softly, and said meaningfully, "The Great Freedom, rooted in the dark side of the human heart, can quickly recover once it returns to Earth. If it weren't for your third divine enemy stealing His demonic blood and usurping His faith, the Great Freedom might have already made a comeback."
"So, you want me to hand over this?" Bai Ze said, taking out the crystal sealed within the original demonic blood. "You really came for this. The news of this drop of demonic blood has finally leaked out."
However, this also proves one thing.
E
That is, the demonic blood does indeed pose a huge threat to the third divine enemy.
It remains to be seen how much the third enemy will pay for this.
Will he reveal all his cards?
Or will they go to great lengths to return to Earth through the spatial rift?
If it is the former, then Bai Ze might be able to use this demonic blood as bait to lure out the big fish lurking underwater.
If it's the latter, then that's a bit bad.
Furthermore, how did the Third Divine Enemy find out about the Demon Blood?
It should be noted that Bai Ze had already concealed all information just as the Demon Blood was about to manifest the "Great Demonic Law".
And after that, everything in the surrounding area was erased by Bai Ze.
"I'm very curious, how did the Third Divine Enemy know that the Demon Blood could target him? Theoretically, only Da Zizai and I should know this."
Bai Ze said softly.
Koschée simply smiled and did not respond.
If he answers, it means he really wants to explain the matter and not let Bai Ze misunderstand, which might make Bai Ze suspect that he is related to Da Zizai.
No, even if he didn't say anything, he was already suspicious.
Looking into Bai Ze's deep eyes, Kosh'e thought to himself: This kid is even more suspicious than Cao Cao.
Bai Ze still suspected Kosh'e.
Even if the probability is extremely low, as long as there is even the slightest possibility, Bai Ze will not hesitate to express his doubts.
No matter how Koshke reacts, Bai Ze will remain suspicious; the only difference is whether his suspicion deepens.
Moreover, in the deduction of the mimicry AI, this possibility is actually not too low.
At least, it's not negligible.
Bai Ze played with the crystal in his hand, then prepared to test it again.
He believed that Kosché knew what was hidden in his words, and that Kosché could sense Bai Ze's suspicion.
Using this as a probe, we should be able to learn more... The sound of mechanical movement reached Bai Ze's ears.
A large number of mechanical humanoids surrounded them from all directions, and an invisible spiritual force was quietly expanding.
Faced with Bai Ze's probing, Koschel decisively chose to take action.
A massive encirclement of mechanical humanoid figures resembling monks surrounded the area, while streams of spiritual energy locked onto Bai Ze's figure.
"You don't want to continue speaking, are you feeling guilty?" Bai Ze's gaze swept around before finally settling on Kosh'e.
Koschée fell even more silent.
He realized that no matter what he said, it seemed to deepen Bai Ze's suspicions.
Rather than saying Bai Ze is suspicious, it's more accurate to say he shoots the arrow first and then draws the target, essentially reversing cause and effect.
No matter what you say, he only believes his own thoughts.
As it turned out, Bai Ze's guess was actually correct.
