Chapter 643

"— —"

Silence.

Deathly silence.

When the power that was enough to shake the world burst out from Mara's body, all the sounds in the world seemed to disappear.

Some people sensed something, and their expressions changed drastically.

Some people didn't sense anything, and their faces showed confusion.

Some people looked at each other, shocked and uncertain.

Some people's hearts were pounding, and they felt that something terrible had happened.

Meanwhile, the people of the empire were still shocked, panicked, and at a loss because of the pitch-black sky and the crimson earth.

They had no idea that a terrifying existence had been born in this world at this moment.

"You …!"

In the air, Shien's expression also changed.

Because his sure-kill slash of the holy sword had been blocked by Mara with a single hand.

Blood dripped from the corner of Mara's mouth. The fatal wound on his body was still there, but the oppressive aura and presence he gave off were completely different from before.

Under such circumstances, while vomiting blood, Mara reached out a claw and firmly grasped the holy sword that Shien had slashed out.

A shocking aura of death rippled in that hand. Even though the holy sword's radiance kept purifying it, it still boiled violently and blocked the holy sword.

"Go away!"

Mara shouted at Shien as if he had regained his last breath.

A terrifying aura of death erupted from Mara's body, instantly collapsing the world.

"Bang —!"

The pitch-black sky shattered, revealing the originally clear and boundless sky.

"Bang —!"

The crimson earth shattered, and the brown soil, green forest, and grassland returned.

Even the sacrificial magic array that Mara had spent ten years to set up under the empire's ground disappeared at this moment. It was as if he had retreated silently after completing his mission.

Only the most terrifying aura of death that had ever erupted from Mara's body told everyone that what just happened was not a dream.

"Peng —!"

Shien didn't even have time to react before he was sent flying by the terrifying aura of death.

The holy sword's radiance enveloped Shien's body, reducing 99% of the damage. The remaining 1% was mostly removed by the [Rito's Mandate].

However, Shien still felt the pain that he hadn't felt in a long time. It was as if he had been hit by a mountain over ten thousand meters above sea level. His head buzzed, and he almost lost consciousness.

"Roar!"

You Lin immediately dashed up from below and caught Shien with her body. However, she was also knocked hundreds of meters away by Shien. She couldn't help but groan in pain.

The power released by Mo Luo was already terrifying to this extent.

"Pfft!"

However, Mo Luo, who had unleashed her most frightening strength, spat out a mouthful of blood. The injuries on her body seemed to have worsened, causing her to feel endless pain.

Undoubtedly, Mara had obtained the most shocking power in the world and became one of the pinnacle in this world.

That was a realm that surpassed the limits of life, a realm that even [Truth] could not restrain.

But Mo Luo knew what it meant for him to enter this realm.

That meant that her life would also come to an end.

It wasn't because the battle hadn't ended yet. Even with this level of power, she still might not be able to win.

It wasn't because the battle wasn't over yet. Even if he had this level of power, he still might not be able to win.

Mo Luo's life would come to an end. This was something that had been predicted for a long time.

"A fake like me really can't accept the power of the Lustrous Branch …?"

"A 'fake' like me really can't accept the power of the Lustrous Branch … huh?"

Mo Luo revealed an intoxicated expression as he sensed the incomparably great power within his body. At the same time, he also sensed that his existence was gradually being eroded by this power.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before his Great Spirit Body, which had become fragmented and was "borrowed" from someone else, completely collapsed.

Mo Luo wasn't sad, nor was he disappointed. He was only completely satisfied.

Because reaching this point was what she had planned, what she had hoped for.

At this moment, her mission was completely completed.

"If I can kill this hero that I hate so much before I die, it will be perfect."

"Before I die, if I can kill this hero that I hate so much, it will be a great achievement."

Mo Luo shifted his gaze to Sean, who had been caught by You Lin. He was shaking his head from You Lin's back as he struggled to stand up.

A murderous look flashed in his eyes.

"Boom!"

In the next second, Mara unleashed all her power, disregarding the injuries in her body.

The power turned into an endless aura of death. Like a black fog that blotted out the sun, it soared into the sky.

A terrifying pressure enveloped the entire world. Countless people looked at the sky in horror.

"Oh no …!"

Tierre, who didn't know what to do, and Capelin, who was carrying Harvey, changed their expressions abruptly.

Lockhart, Saliro, and the others were also in the same state. All of them were horrified.

If Mo Luo's strength could be said to be able to wipe the entire imperial palace off the ground earlier, the strength that she had unleashed at this moment could definitely wipe the entire imperial capital and even the entire empire off the ground.

The terrifying power that seemed to be able to sink the entire continent made countless people feel horror and despair.

Mara was going to use her last bit of strength to wipe out Shien and the entire Empire.

This was her final revenge against the hero and the Empire of the Hero.

"Die!"

Mara made her final declaration.

Thus, a storm of aura of death that could destroy heaven and earth formed in the sky. It rapidly condensed and finally turned into a huge power mass that looked like a pitch-black sun. Under Mara's command, it fell to the ground.

It was a sign of doomsday.

It was the condensation of "death" itself.

When the "pitch-black sun" fell to the ground, everything on the ground would be wiped out.

Everyone in the Imperial Capital stared blankly at the pitch-black sun that was even bigger than the entire Imperial Capital slowly falling. There was no other reaction.

Including Tierre and Capelin.

"It's over …"

Capelin's pretty face turned pale.

"…"

Tierre bit her lip. A hint of bitterness could not help but appear in her eyes.

Proctor, Saliro, Tilly, Geno, and the others were trembling. Some looked bitter, some clenched their fists, and some collapsed on the ground. However, none of them chose to resist.

That power was not something that humans could fight against.

If there was anyone in the human world who could fight against that power, there was only one person.

The hero.

"Die?"

Sean finally stood up from You Lin's back. He looked at the black sun that was gradually setting in the sky and let out an angry roar.

"Die, my ass!"

On Shien's body, dazzling flames erupted with the largest burn so far.

In his hand, the most powerful holy sword's radiance also burst forth. It turned into a dazzling golden brilliance that illuminated the entire world.

Then, the hero soared into the sky.

Just like in all the legends and stories since ancient times, he held the strongest weapon that could defeat the Demon King and illuminated hope in the hearts of the despairing people.

It was a legend that was reenacted.

It was a history that would become a myth.

Even after countless years, this scene would still be engraved in the hearts of everyone who saw it.

This was the first and most dazzling stroke that the hero, who had been summoned to this world after a thousand years, drew in this era.

And so, the pitch-black sun fell.

And so, the dazzling flames and dazzling golden light turned into meteors that flew toward the sky.

It seemed like countless years had passed, but it also seemed like only a second had passed. Under the witness of countless people, they collided in the sky above the royal palace.

Just like that, a dazzling light and impact, like Mars colliding with Earth, exploded.

"XX XX XX —!"

An indescribable, terrifying sound rang out in the air.

The atmosphere was annihilated by the ring-shaped impact wave.

Countless people on the ground were blown away by the sudden gust of wind.

One building after another was shaken by the sound wave and the gust of wind. Some buildings even gradually cracked and collapsed.

An impact that could take away everything appeared in the sky above the Imperial Capital, and it directly exploded.

On this day, many people saw this scene.

And the Imperial Capital, which was under the impact, suffered the most terrifying aftermath. Although it wasn't destroyed, many pieces appeared, and it almost turned into ruins.

No one saw that at the center of the impact, the Holy Sword's slash cut through the pitch-black death aura, the terrifying impact, and also the huge sun-like light ball of power, cutting it in half.

The figure surrounded by dazzling flames and holding the dazzling golden light in his hand seemed to have been burnt. Smoke came out of his body as he rushed into the sky in tatters.

Finally, he arrived in front of the instigator of all this.

"…!?"

Mo Luo, who kept vomiting blood, suddenly widened his eyes when he saw this scene.

"No …"

"Impossible" — Mo Luo couldn't say this out loud.

"Puchi!"

The Holy Sword's slash that broke through all despair once again cut through space and time. It landed on Mo Luo's body, and it easily cut him in half.

Mo Luo was cut in half by this most powerful slash that was truly fatal. He turned into a dismembered corpse and collapsed on the spot.

"Cough …!"

In the dazzling flames, Shien coughed out a mouthful of blood. Like a kite with a broken string, he could no longer hold on and fell toward the ground.

And this time, You Lin wouldn't come to catch him.

You Lin had been blasted down by the terrifying impact, and no one knew where she went.

Shien fell straight toward the ground.

Until …

"Bang!"

Not far away, the only thing that had survived the terrifying impact just now, the pitch-black Demonic Qi barrier, suddenly exploded.

Inside, the little goddess finally appeared again. She flapped the twelve pairs of black wings on her back and rushed toward Shien at the fastest speed.

Soon, the little goddess successfully caught Shien.

The goddess looked at the brave warrior in her arms gently.

The two of them descended in the direction of the Imperial Capital.
