With a thought, flowers bloomed, and a monarch descended upon the world. The two supreme almighties battled to the edge of the universe. The galaxy collapsed, and the Great Dao was obliterated.
Between their movements, it was as if the universe had just opened, and the power of chaos surged.
"All the Daos in the universe are trampled under my feet!"
"I am the Horned Rat!"
"Who is the peak at the end of the Star Road? Once I see the Snake God Dao, I become nothing."
"I am Sotigo!"
Cough, cough, all of the above was nonsense.
On the Itaza battlefield, except for a few powerhouses, almost no human or rat could see the battle in the stars above the vault of heaven.
The fluctuations were extremely terrifying, and the blood light instantly illuminated half of the universe. The void and the stars were all illuminated by the god's blood in a dark green color. It was as if a huge evil moon was gushing out, and the green light occupied half of the universe.
The Horned Rat's body exploded under Sotigo's fierce attacks, and blood splattered everywhere. The Horned Rat God's screams were extremely ear-piercing, but Sotigo did not have a trace of pity or hesitation. The giant dragon spat out the fire of the stars to burn the Horned Rat's body. He stretched out his sharp claws and pressed down on the Horned Rat's shoulder, tearing the Horned Rat's body from the right shoulder to the waist, almost tearing the Horned Rat in half!
Everyone saw this scene, and the rats were all terrified. It was an indescribable panic, and their souls were about to shatter.
The Horned Rat, our Horned Rat God, was actually not a match for Sotigo?
On the other side, the lizardmen howled excitedly. The resurrected Snake God Prophet Tehenhoin raised the stone tablet and proudly displayed the prophecy on Sotigo's tablet to all the lizardmen, including the soldiers of the Ashes Corps.
I told you! The Snake God is the strongest!
I told you, Sotigo will save us!
I told you, our Red Crowned Spirit Lizard is invincible!
"What's going on?" Julius held Fu Gen, and his brother-in-law was puzzled by this scene. "The Horned Rat doesn't seem to be a match for Sotigo? That's not right. Whether it's the number of believers, age, or understanding of the laws, the Horned Rat might not be at an advantage, but it definitely won't be so passive. "
"… The Horned Rat and Sotigo's strength was originally about the same." Fu Gen nodded, and the Emperor's son looked at the battle in the starry sky.
Father, was this how you sealed the Void Dragon fragment on Mars?
"Then why?"
"First of all, it's because of the blood sacrifice. Tehenhoin's blood sacrifice achieved unimaginable success." Forgen had the intention to help his brother-in-law. He spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood and explained, "We can assume that the strength of both sides is the same. However, the Horned Rat has realized that the great Holy War of the Skaven Empire is on the verge of failure. If he does not personally take action, all the Skaven ratmen in Lucia will face a disaster. This cunning fellow still has the idea of harvesting us while we are weak, so he forcefully broke through the crack between the mortal world and the realm of Chaos and descended."
Sotigo, on the other hand, was different. Sotigo had relied on Tehenhoin's powerful blood sacrifice, drank the blood of millions of Skaven Ratmen, and enjoyed the great power of the blood sacrifice from three of the Council of Thirteen's hearts before descending into the world in his complete form.
There was a gap between the two sides from the very beginning.
Furthermore … Fu Gen couldn't help but want to laugh.
The Skaven ratmen themselves probably didn't realize that their repeated resurrection of the dead rats was, in a way, continuously adding to Sotigo's blood sacrifice.
This was similar to the ancient continent of Europe. Some rich people who had nothing better to do paid attention to "accumulating merit" and spent all day buying living creatures to set them free. For example, they would buy fish from fishermen and set them free. The fishermen would quickly catch these fish again, sell them to these people, and set them free again.
In the end, in order to accumulate merit faster, someone simply created a 24-hour fully-automated merit creation machine. They would load the fish into the machine and quickly rotate it to catch and set them free. The machine operated 24 hours a day without interruption, and merit was endless!
Using the Battle of Itaza as an analogy, Seneschal Negary was actually doing exactly this kind of foolish thing. The rats that kept reviving were basically fish, and Sotigo had enjoyed several days and nights of repeated blood sacrifices in the millions, making him unprecedentedly powerful.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Sotigo's power was obviously stronger than the Horned Rat.
At the same time, there was also a second reason, which was that the Horned Rat didn't have enough fighting spirit.
"The Horned Rat God is cunning, twisted, treacherous, and despicable. He has no affinity with any positive personality." Fu Gen continued, "This determined that the Horned Rat lacked the courage to fight to the death. Sotigo immediately went for a life for a life, while the Horned Rat was hesitant between fighting to the death and seizing the opportunity to escape."
"So that's how it is."
"Yuri, you must remember, as my son, as the proud son of the Emperor, we must have the spirit of drawing our swords. When facing a powerful opponent, even if we know we are no match, we must still draw our swords resolutely. Even if we fall, we must become a mountain, a ridge!" Fu Gen's eyes flashed with memories, "Even if we encounter insurmountable difficulties, we must face them bravely. Failure isn't scary, what's scary is the lack of courage to face it. On this point, Laing did very well. Today, I will also ask you to do the same. I hope you will always keep it in mind."
"Yes!" Julius thought to himself. Who's your son? I'm clearly Laing's brother-in-law! But when he realized Fu Gen's attitude, he could only gloomily agree.
The battle in the sky came to a standstill, falling into a deathly silence. There was no sound, and everything withered.
The Horned Rat was defeated just like that? The great Horned Rat God, the Horned Rat God who had caused countless disasters in the world, the Skaven Rat Man God, was defeated just like that? Was he walking towards the end from the most glorious peak with his body smashed to pieces?
"I am the Horned Rat God! I am immortal and indestructible! " The Horned Rat's bloody light pierced through the subspace storm, and the Horned Rat God's fluctuations were world-shaking. The endless bloody light and dazzling green light all flowed in reverse, returning in an instant to reconstruct his divine body. The Horned Rat was extremely angry. He stretched out his hand towards the rats on the Itaza battlefield, "Descendants of the Horned Rat, now is the time for you to offer your loyalty!"
With a loud buzzing sound, it was as if a primordial powerful being from the primordial chaos had broken free from the world. Lucia trembled violently, and the sun, moon, and stars were all shaking. The bodies of another 300,000 rats exploded, and all their life energy and souls were sucked into the Horned Rat's body. Relying on this power, the Horned Rat God reconstructed his divine body and vowed to fight it out with Sotigo!
The battle between the true gods was still going on. Sotigo had expected that the Horned Rat would be difficult to deal with. This time, he spat out golden starlight rays, and the pure starfire was even more powerful, illuminating the universe in a dazzling manner. The Horned Rat's divine body was hit and retreated continuously, unable to face the attack head-on. Sotigo immediately pressed forward, using his giant claws to tear open two more wounds on the Horned Rat God's body. He then grabbed the Horned Rat and continued to rise.
The Horned Rat was terrified. Sotigo was dragging him to the legendary battlefield where the ancient saints had fought the star gods. There had been many supreme existences fighting there, and there was no light, no life, and not even much material. There were only the huge corpses of the defeated.
Both sides fought again, and wounds started to appear on Sotigo's snake body. The two giant creatures tangled together, and golden and green light exploded, shooting up into the sky.
Blood shot up into the sky again, and the Horned Rat's black blood flowed and splashed across the universe. The Horned Rat God's body exploded again under Sotigo's entanglement, exploding into fragments that filled the sky. Everyone could see a "green river" traversing the universe, which was formed by the remains of the Horned Rat's divine body.
The green river didn't last for long. Sotigo opened his mouth and sucked all the flesh and blood fragments of the Horned Rat into his body. To other gods, the filth of the Horned Rat was something that they wouldn't even want to touch. However, to Sotigo, it was a supreme tonic. After absorbing tons of it, the Horned Rat's power became even stronger, and the wounds on his body also healed.
"Is he dead?"
"Has the battle between the true gods ended?"
Under Ita, everyone and the rats were discussing spiritedly.
The pain of having its flesh and blood directly devoured by Sotigo forced the Horned Rat to quickly reorganize his body. He once again absorbed 300,000 rats, spewing out a strong breath of life, and once again entered the battle.
If the true body of a God of Chaos descended, he would be too strong in battle. He almost had an indestructible body, and it would be too difficult to kill him.
Below, Fu Gen thought that if Sotigo didn't have an almost invincible body as an Ancient Star Dragon, and if he didn't restrain the plague of the Horned Rat to some extent, the Horned Rat would be almost impossible to defeat, let alone kill.
In the following day and night, the Horned Rat was blown up by Sotigo 13 times. The flesh and blood of the Horned Rat God were constantly devoured by Sotigo. The Horned Rat God absorbed the power of the Horned Rat God and became more energetic. The starlight he spat out turned into pure white light, which contained the primordial power of the Big Bang. The Horned Rat's divine body was swept by the starlight and exploded into bones and blood. Even his soul was badly damaged under Sotigo's power.
The Starry Dome expanded! Sotigo even directly summoned a small planet and smashed it on the Horned Rat's body. The Horned Rat God couldn't resist and exploded again, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Finally, after being blown up for the 13th time, the Horned Rat couldn't take it anymore. His head was pressed to the ground by Sotigo's huge claw, and his skull was crushed. Behind him, Sotigo opened his mouth and was swallowing all the flesh, blood, broken bones, soul, and divine power of the Horned Rat God into his stomach. This was all that the Horned Rat had painstakingly accumulated over countless years.
"No! It shouldn't be like this!
"No!!!"
The Horned Rat was pressed to the ground. He reached out his hand in despair and asked for help from the Four Gods of Chaos in the realm of chaos. However, he only received a cold sneer. The Four Gods of Chaos were watching this scene with incomparable joy. They didn't seem to have any intention of helping.
His feet were swallowed, his legs were swallowed, and his abdomen was swallowed into Sotigo's mouth. The Horned Rat kept struggling, and his strength kept weakening. When he was about to be swallowed into his chest, the Horned Rat God finally made a move. He gathered the last of his divine power in his chest, opened his mouth, and spat out with force. A small gray rat smaller than an egg flew out of the Horned Rat's mouth, broke through the battlefield, and disappeared into the subspace.
Sotigo was busy enjoying the feast and didn't notice this scene. However, even if he did notice, he wouldn't have cared. This was because more than 99% of the Horned Rat's chaotic substance had already been swallowed into his stomach.
With a satisfied burp, the Horned Rat God swallowed the Horned Rat God.
"Sotigo! Sotigo! Sotigo! "
"It's over. It's finally over. The war between the snakes and rats has ended!"
Cheers came from all over the place. They were celebrating the end of the world. Everyone was extremely excited. It wasn't easy to survive.
The spirit lizards vented their emotions and roared with all their might to express their feelings.
Sotigo's blessing quickly fell from the sky. Millions of poisonous snakes formed a Serpent God Storm and swept away all the remaining Skaven ratmen. All the ratmen desperately begged for salvation from the Horned Rat, but this time, there was nothing to respond to them.
"Great Scourge Lord! W-what should we do? "A Skaven warlord asked Wilmans, the corrupted one, for help.
Wilmans' face was extremely pale. The supreme Scourge Lord could no longer sense the Horned Rat. His own power was rapidly decreasing. "This is … the darkest day … in the history of the Skaven …"
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!!! "
With the order to retreat, the remaining few hundred thousand Skaven ratmen were finally defeated. They tried to escape, but it was all too late.
Sotigo, who had eaten his fill, had no desire to fight personally. However, the Serpent God's Serpent Storm had already heavily injured the ratmen. Seeing that the ratmen were trying to escape, Sotigo waved his claws. A river of stars surged, and a meteor shower fell from the sky, swallowing all the ratmen.
The supreme Scourge Lord, Wilmans, immediately threw everything aside and ran for his life. He only wanted to escape. He didn't know if his master had truly fallen, but the power in his body had begun to decline. It was enough to tell that his master's situation was not good. Very bad!
He had to escape. Only by escaping would he have a future!
If his master had truly fallen, then the Skaven naturally needed a new god, a new leader. This leader could not be anyone else. It had to be him, and only him, the corrupted one. The supreme Scourge Lord of the Skaven who carried more than ten thousand plagues and viruses! The protector of the Pestillon family!
While he was thinking that, Wilmans panicked and panicked. With all the noise around him, his senses had dropped by more than one level. By the time he noticed a gentle and accurate sound of air flowing through a blowpipe, it was already too late.
A blowpipe accurately pierced through the back of his head. His muscles stiffened as the poison churned in his blood vessels.
Wilmans' first reaction was anger. The supreme Scourge Lord thought to himself, 'I am the embodiment of the plague. My body is surrounded by a halo of decay. Its power is so great that its mere existence can cause an epidemic.
I can summon a storm of plagues or a wind of corruption to kill many enemies. My gaze is enough to cause a healthy enemy to rapidly deteriorate and die! '
'The poison on the blowpipe!
The poison of a lizard! ' 'How is this possible …'
'How is this possible …'
The body of the supreme Scourge Lord, Wilmans, fell to the ground like a small mountain. His lifeless claws loosened. The sickle full of deadly viruses fell into the swamp and frothed. In less than a minute, Wilmans' body began to liquefy, turning into black corpse water and dissolving into the storm of the Serpent God.
Not far away, the Shadowless Hunter, Osijodan, looked at his results with satisfaction. He was not surprised by this outcome. He was a native of the City of Ashes. After the city was dragged into the realm of Chaos during the first invasion, he was the only survivor. He had traveled in the realm of Chaos for more than six thousand years before returning to the mortal world.
The poison on the blow dart was personally created using the Subspace Origin.
This poison had once killed the great demon Nurgle.
The hunt had begun. Another day and night passed. Lucia of the Skaven had conquered the million-strong army. Other than the missing Gray Prophet, Chuanqueiro, none of the rats had managed to escape.
Another day passed. After cleaning up the battlefield, Mazda Moody came before Venerable Kroc's shriveled body. He got the Holy Guards to carefully immerse the teacher's body in a pool to nourish it.
As the Months of Demons were pushed away, the magic toads' prophetic abilities were restored. The lizardmen's military strength was also reduced to less than a tenth. Mazda Moody felt for a long time before officially announcing the start of the 'Great Evacuation' plan.
When the first stone floated up, it let out a thunderous roar. The mechanisms of First City, Sun City, and Moon City were activated. The great pyramids rose into the sky one after another, like mountains being pulled away from the ground. They simply turned the sunny weather into a cloudy one.
The great pyramids and stone temples hovered in the air for a few moments. Their actual size was far larger than what was previously revealed on the surface. A large part of them had been hidden underground.
When they floated up, huge chunks of earth fell from their bellies. The movement when they took off was so huge that they flew high into the clouds and disappeared.
The long watch had come to an end. It was time for the Eldest Son of the Ancients to return to Star.
There were two legendary lizardmen heroes who didn't leave. They were the last guardian, Kouga, and his Holy Baby Spirit Army, as well as Snake God Prophet Tehenhoin and his Red Crowned Spirit Lizard Brigade.
They would follow Fulgen's Ember Army and cross the large pond to support the Old World. If everything ended smoothly, Snake God Sotigo, who was digesting the Horned Rat, promised to open the Astral Gate and take them away.
Peace was restored to Lucia. There were only ruins and ruins left. Only the stone slabs covered in moss told all the latecomers that the Eldest Son of the Ancients had once come, fought, and protected.
There were no regrets.
