Guild Wars

Seeing Eva here, the faces of Qiong Qi and Clarent naturally changed greatly. While they were hooligans who loved to cause trouble, it often had to do with them causing chaos, not flipping the entire table. The problem here was that Eva did not know moderation and would completely flip the entire table if it suited her!

Even Draco had a troubled expression. As a member of the shameless trio, he knew these fellows’ thinking process as well as their harebrained schemes all too well. However, he was a bit bored at this time after practicing his Refinement for so long, so he was willing to let loose by playing along and assisting them in causing trouble.

However, he knew that if either Eva or Shuangtian got involved, their chances of successfully causing trouble would plummet. The worst part was that Eva was in the right here, since her beef with Sunna was something that everyone knew very well.

It was one thing when no one could find her anywhere, but another thing when Qiong Qi and Clarent themselves had not only seen her but interacted with her. With this, the two could not suddenly change their tune and deny it, their faces darting to Draco for help.

"This… maybe they said Suncar? You must have heard wrong." Draco could only thicken his skin to say.

Qiong Qi and Clarent nodded rapidly like chickens pecking rice, their expressions seeming to say that what Draco said was exactly correct. Eva simply smiled coldly and pointed a finger, opening the portal that the idiot duo used to come here, which displayed the scene of Monster City.

She charged into the portal quickly, causing the faces of Draco and the two to change greatly as they scrambled after her. Seeing the commotion, Shuangtian and the others naturally came over as well, curious to watch the show, though they did not have any popcorn.

Back in Monster City, the stampeding crowd had long realized that they had been duped and were hurriedly spreading out to search the entire city. In this short period of time, news had been sent out to the top echelon, and martial law was effected in the city.

"Search! Search!! Search!!!"

"Do not leave any nook or cranny unchecked!"

"Catch them and skin them alive! The lords above have promised great rewards!"

"They cannot have gone far; none of the city arrays have been tripped!"

Many Monster True Gods of various law ranks were red-eyed as they almost dug three feet into the ground looking for Clarent and Qiong Qi. If the idiot duo had dared to stay in the city to try and tide this out, they definitely would have been caught and tied up for torture at the floating fortresses.

As such, when the group suddenly popped up in the middle of the ruined street that looked like it had been bulldozed by an army of elephants, the searching True Gods were stunned for a bit. Not only did their targets return, but they had brought reinforcements over?

How was this possible? Monster City had Origin level arrays just like the Supreme City, since many Monster True Gods had also ascended to become Origin Gods, being the hidden backers of this place.

Among them were defensive, counterattacking, trapping, and especially spatial confinement arrays. Without specially approved means by the array, one could not come and go from the city, especially not in the manner that this group just did.

However, such concerns were thrown into the back of their minds as the fellows seemed to see a free pot of gold fall in front of them, simply waiting for them to pick it. Immediately, shouts of greed and excitement that were mostly unintelligible were released as they all desperately rushed forward, even hindering one another, to be the ones who got the credit for capturing these fellows.

Eva frowned darkly. "Presumptuous!"

A snap of her finger caused a cascade of head explosions, all the True Gods within a certain radius of her going from excitement to headless in one instant, with a delay occurring row by row as if an invisible cannon was blowing through their craniums.

By the time she was done, a large area around the group had been cleared out, leaving the few Monster True Gods who were either still on their way here or who had miraculously survived from being too far back feeling a surge of endless fear.

Their mistake had cost them many lives, and it was a silly mistake called ignorance. Many of them did not know Qiong Qi or Clarent, and even if they did, seeing the two fellows fleeing the entire time without daring to fight back emboldened them, making them assume that they were weak.

However, even just Qiong Qi and Clarent were bona fide Supreme Law True Gods!

One could not just gang up with plenty of flies and expect to take down a giant. Swarming tactics only worked for players due to their special strategies, their special system mechanics, and their growth methods. But even at the True God level and above, players were no longer advised to swarm, forming smaller parties or encouraged to go solo.

Many of these Monster True Gods were either Basic Law, Intermediate Law, or even at best, Advanced Law. The truly strong ones were either in the fortresses above serving the top echelon or affiliated with their factions, so the rabble down here could never amount to anything, or why would those female True Gods debase themselves sexually for those two ugly fellows in the two idiots’ former squad?

Such fellows, even without using her bloodline, Eva could deal with using her Law of True Creation at the True Law Rank or even her Master Rank Law of Benevolent Light. They simply stood no chance yet blustered forward like idiots, losing their lives stupidly.

Roma, who came along, had her eyes light up as she clapped her hands and created a pale green sphere. With some eldritch chanting that echoed upon itself and even caused the clouds to darken, intangible tendrils formed from the sphere that lashed out and captured the souls of all the True Gods who died in this range, depositing them within the sphere.

Once done, she smoothed her hair and sighed with joy, feeling much better as she did a little happy jig. "Finally got some True God level souls, my experiments can continue! Hehe!"

Thinking about her experiments, which usually created horrifying wails of the damned that could be heard all across the plane in the void, suddenly everyone felt a deep chill in their bones and could not help but feel pity for the True Gods in her grasp.

Eva frowned as she turned to Qiong Qi and Clarent. "Where is Sunna?"

The two shared a look and decided that since the jig was up, they might as well confess. As such, they both shrugged at the same time and relayed the story of their discovery and subsequent escape, though they added a lot of flair and heroics to the tale, even claiming that they came here to pave the way for Draco.

Hearing this, Draco was deeply moved as he wailed loudly and hugged the two fellows, who also bawled their eyes out as they professed their brotherly love for each other. Meanwhile, Shuangtian and the others seemed to take a step back, not wanting to be infected by the ’cooties’ of embarrassment these fellows possessed.

Eva harrumphed. "If that’s the case, then she is here somewhere, and I simply need to dig her out. No problem…"

She slowly rose into the air as she lifted a finger upwards, from which a pristine white light gathered. The light coagulated into a beam that shot upward, illuminating the entire sky of Monster City as it reached the zenith, hovering just below the origin barrier that protected the entire territory in silence.

All beings in Monster City, no matter how far, could see this resplendent white beam that seemed to radiate benevolence and kindness. It did not hurt their eyes, nor did it seem to brighten the entire horizon, allowing them to gaze upon it with curiosity and awe.

Those in the fortresses seemed to notice this event and frowned deeply, feeling a vague hint of unease as the light pooled further and further in the sky, forming a small lake that was expanding more and more. Some proactive fellows even tried to destroy or cut off the flow, but their attacks were unequivocally disintegrated by the pillar of light, causing their expressions to change greatly.

The Morningstar Family who were present saw the beam, their expression shifting from jaw-dropping shock to one of utter horror. Qiong Qi and Clarent especially trembled, knowing that it was all over; the crazy wife of Draco had really brought out that forbidden technique!

Despite it all, Eva remained brutally calm as her eyes radiated a cold light. Her upraised finger twitched as she spoke in a grand voice which was heard by almost all living beings within Monster City.

"Let the light of the Goddess cleanse the world of filth. By my will: Heavenly Extinction!"

The lake at the apex of the light pillar spiked and suddenly contracted before pulsating in one instant. From its mass, hundreds of finger-sized beams of light formed, spreading out over the entire domain of Monster City and pushing through the sky before angling downwards, picking up speed.

Each beam seemed to have its own target, following the trails of mental energy that existed on a plane that only the strongest psychics could detect. The speed of light was something that was often spoken about in tandem with extraordinary beings that could move that fast due to their special power, so what about when light actually moved at its own stated speed?

PSSHT! PSSHT! PSSHT!

Many beings within Monster City who were looking up at the light beam did not detect anything, not even reacting when these beams pierced through their foreheads, incinerating their brains on the spot. It was a quick and painless death, a mercy of all mercies as they simply thought one moment and then did so no more the next.

Not only True Gods existed in Monster City. Many beings existed in tandem that kept its ecosystem in control, but they were all extinguished in an instant if they were mortal. True Gods at least had time to feel endless horror and fear from the intense sense of death that bore down on them from the depths of their minds, mustering their laws to defend themselves.

However, Eva’s attack was not a Law-based one but straight from her Goddess of Light Branch within her bloodline, operating at its fullest power. At its current 10% sealed state, the Chaotic Eternal bloodlines were somewhere between the peak of Supreme Law and the middle point Semi-Origin Rank, not something that these fellows could resist.

"AIIIEEE!!"

"ARGHHH! IT BURNS!!!"

"NOOO, WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS THIS?!"

"SPARE ME! I CAN’T DIE HERE!!"

Screams and wails of agony resounded like a sonata over the entire Monster City as countless True Gods either expressed their fear, unwillingness, and pain before being forever extinguished from this world. Their last cries were almost poetic in the way they represented their final calls to the life they lived, but it was meaningless in the face of absolute power.

The amazing fortress that floated above the city at first manifested barriers that were of the Divine Rank, a level weaker than the overarching city barrier. The beams of light struck them and caused them to crack greatly before shattering, lancing through the buildings like a knife through butter, turning the majestic constructions into sieves.

More screams were heard from the fortresses that lost their power and began to fall to the ground, eventually crashing one by one and causing tremendous explosions akin to nuclear bombs dropping, dealing more destruction to Monster City than anything had ever done in its history.

Eva finally took away her finger supplying the light energy to the lake in the sky, the backdrops of deathly throes and soul-quaking explosions seeming to illuminate her exceedingly beautiful face.
