Gospel of Blood-Chapter 559 : Battle of Myths

This was a highly successful raid.

Not only was it sudden, but the battle was almost a one-sided crushing force.

No one expected the bloodbornes of the Free City-State Alliance to suddenly mobilize almost all their top leaders, leaving their main forces behind.

Hundreds of bloodbornes, each at least at the Blazing Sun tier, appeared in the Dragonspine Mountains like a ghostly army. Legendaries, who were enough to command respect in past battles, gathered together, forming a force no empty Old Gods temple could withstand.

Perhaps when facing armies protected by divine artifacts and myths, the Blazing Suns and Legendaries might struggle to exert overwhelming power, but when Legendaries resort to “ambush” tactics, everything changes.

Against the high-level bloodbornes’ raid, the Old Gods’ temples were nearly swept away like chaff in an ocean of undead and beasts.

The bloodborne warriors had never felt such exhilaration.

In the past, due to the protection of divine artifacts and Old Gods, every battle they fought was extremely arduous.

But today’s “ambush” allowed them to experience a different kind of joy.

Like an expert descending upon a novice village to dominate.

However, as the deputy commander of this raid, Harald, the second-in-command of the Alliance, did not share the excitement.

Unlike the increasingly exhilarated bloodborne warriors, his expression was serious, and his gaze was constantly wary of his surroundings, ever vigilant.

In his mind, charlotte’s instructions before the raid still echoed.

“Harald, the significance of this raid is not in how many Old Gods’ temples you destroy, but in how you can lure the Old Gods out.”

“Lure the Old Gods out?”

“Yes, you are the sword, but you are also the bait. Successfully raiding means that the core extraordinary forces of the castle are surrounded. For the Old Gods, this is also a good chance to wipe out the high-level bloodbornes, so… they will certainly take action.”

“But they should also know we are the ‘bait’, right?”

“Of course, but even so, as long as you cause enough commotion, they will ultimately take action.”

“Why is that?”

“Because they are also ‘bait’, to lure me out.”

“And you…”

“Don’t worry. In a sense, I am also bait. The true confrontation of this war will be a battle of true Gods. We only have one chance. You must, in this raid, draw out the true existence behind the Sun Temple.”

“Then what should we do?”

“Maximize the anger of the Old Gods. The dignity of God cannot be violated. When they feel their dignity is being affronted, even knowing you are ‘bait’, they will inevitably intervene.” ŕÄＮỌ𝐁Ê𝙎

“I… understand.”

…

Various conversations flashed through Harald’s mind as he watched the Old Gods’ temples gradually being taken over by the bloodborne warriors, his gaze becoming deeper.

“Topple all the statues, smash them, burn down all the temples, and erase all traces of the Evil Gods!”

He ordered.

With his command, the bloodbornes quickly and efficiently carried out his orders.

As temple after temple of the Old Gods was burned and destroyed, as core statues were toppled and shattered…

Finally, a myth couldn’t hold back any longer.

When the last statue in a particular temple was toppled, the advancing bloodborne warriors felt the air around them suddenly solidify.

A roar, filled with anger, echoed through the heavens and earth, seemingly resonating in their souls.

“Impudent—!”

A bright silver column of divine power shot into the sky, and a terrifying pressure descended instantly.

The heavens and earth suddenly changed color, and a giant silver hand, like a mountain, quickly formed in the sky.

The bright silver brilliance almost illuminated the entire sky, and the giant hand of divine power almost covered the entire mountain range.

The magic in the air became agitated, and as the giant silver hand appeared, it fell like a star, pressing down on the bloodborne warriors in the mountains.

Seeing the giant hand of divine power descending from the sky, the bloodbornes felt their bloodline power freeze instantly.

Even though they had prepared mentally, they couldn’t help but change color, their expressions unprecedentedly grave.

They could feel the terrifying power contained in that giant hand of divine power.

They could also feel the anger in that vast voice.

Even the strongest, Harald and Abaddon, could clearly sense that they were no match for this blow.

Without the protection of divine artifacts and magic, this blow could wipe out most of the high-level bloodbornes covered by it.

Of course.

In the age of myths, how could the extraordinary lack divine artifacts?

“A myth has taken action! Activate the divine artifacts!”

Harald roared.

As soon as he spoke, crimson brilliance lit up in the mountains.

These were protective divine artifacts prepared by the bloodborne warriors in advance, personally infused with Charlotte’s divine power.

The crimson brilliance spread, forming a massive energy shield that collided with the descending giant silver hand.

“Boom—!”

Under the deafening roar, the entire Dragonspine Mountain Range shook.

Chaotic magic formed a violent magic storm, tearing through everything in its path. Under the powerful impact, mountains collapsed, and the earth cracked.

The bloodbornes under the protection of the divine artifacts felt a massive force impacting their bodies and souls. Their already pale faces turned even paler, and some of the

weaker ones coughed up blood, struggling to stand.

However, no one died.

Although the blow nearly destroyed everything it touched, the bloodbornes under the crimson glow were almost unharmed, suffering only some internal injuries.

As the brilliance faded, the crimson divine power shield merely dimmed a bit. The bloodbornes, though somewhat weakened, were still alive and kicking.

This is the power of divine artifacts.

With divine artifacts, even mortals can face the power of Gods.

But this was not the end.

The terrifying pressure continued to rise, and the silver brilliance grew even more dazzling.

The giant silver hand reappeared, the divine power flames burning brightly, almost covering the entire sky. Under the destructive divine power, the bloodbornes felt an endless “anger” burning within them.

That was the anger of the Gods.

Or more accurately, the anger of the Demigod who had just acted.

Another blow descended from the sky, even more powerful than before. This time, the giant hand of divine power was surrounded by faintly glowing runes, with the shadow of scales faintly visible behind it.

Extraordinary beings can possess divine artifacts, and myths can naturally possess divine artifacts as well.

Clearly, the Old God who acted did not hold back but also used a divine artifact.

Divine artifacts amplify the power of Gods, and Gods’ use of divine artifacts is far beyond mortals’ capabilities.

The bright silver brilliance instantly turned platinum. Under the terrifying divine power, the divine power shield of the bloodbornes showed cracks.

The protective divine artifacts couldn’t hold on!

The bloodborne warriors turned pale.

Facing the insurmountable divine power at such close range, even the strongest bloodborne warriors couldn’t hide their shock.

But just as the platinum divine power hand descended again, the whole world suddenly darkened.

As if covered by a shadow, the stars and silver moon disappeared.

Then, a crimson blood moon rose, illuminating the mountains like the protector of the bloodbornes.

The platinum hand and the crimson blood moon collided instantly, turning the world into a dazzling white.

The bloodbornes’ vision turned blindingly white, and as the light faded, the darkness returned, and a terrifying roar echoed through the heavens and earth.

“Boom—!”

Under the roar, mountains collapsed, and the entire Dragonspine Mountain Range turned into a wasteland, almost flattened where the bloodbornes stood.

However, the previously fragile divine power shield had stabilized and under divine protection, the intact mountain formed a platform hundreds of meters high.

That was where the bloodbornes stood. The other parts of the mountains had been completely destroyed by the platinum divine power hand.

But unlike the previous damage, this time the bloodbornes did not feel the force’s impact.

Even though this time the force was more powerful, causing more terrifying destruction.

The divine power shield around them flowed like water, and the protective divine artifacts maintained by the blood divine power had returned to normal.

No, not just normal, the divine power shield seemed even more stable than when the bloodbornes activated it.

The bloodbornes couldn’t help but look up, gazing fanatically at the crimson brilliance, looking fervently at the blood moon in the sky, and the beautiful figure beneath it, who had appeared unnoticed.

Silver hair dancing in the wind, golden-red pupils burning with crimson flames, her expressionless, doll-like beautiful face indifferent as she gazed at the platinum divine power in the sky.

“It’s Lady Lilith, Lady Lilith is here!”

“Long live Her Eminence the Savior! Long live the great Progenitor!”

In the bloodbornes’ cheers, the crimson and platinum divine

powers clashed, and the platinum divine power visibly could not match the crimson brilliance, gradually losing in the confrontation.

The platinum rapidly faded back to bright silver, and the giant divine power hand turned into a ghostly face.

The face glared at the beautiful figure in the sky, eyes of divine flame blazed with resentment and anger, a low voice full of dread and hatred echoing through the heavens and earth.

“Eternal Night… Monarch!”
