MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

“Swoosh-swoosh-swoosh-swoosh…”

The four Divine Swords flew out of their own accord, forming a barrier of light around Aragon that kept all of Li Yi’s and The Mountain’s attacks outside.

“Your attacks are useless against me. I am the Ruler of God, and I control the strongest power in this world. Dark Wing, are you sure you want to be my enemy?”

“Crackle-crackle-crack—”

Li Yi replied with lightning.

“Come out, Aersith!”

Li Yi summoned both Dolly and Aersith. He did not know if he could break past the aura barrier made of four Divine Swords either, but he did not have time to waste right now. He would die if he attacked, and he would die if he did not, so all that was left was to go ham!

Li Yi and the other four had died once before already, and they had only resurrected because the Evil God used the Dark Resurrection Spell to bring them back. Although this skill doubled their ATK temporarily, its side effect meant that when the resurrection countdown ended, they had to die for certain.

There were only slightly over two minutes left on the Dark Resurrection countdown. Li Yi ordered The Mountain to break through with force because he wanted to kill Aragon before they died.

“Aragon! I never guessed that you would be here!”

Aersith was extremely surprised to see Aragon. She was the Second Demon God, so she was quite familiar with the demon Aragon.

“Aersith, daughter of the Great Demon God King, you were very kind to me throughout the millennia I lived in Foreignland. So why do you stand opposing me now?”

“Nihilistic Territory!”

Aersith released her purple Territory and played her flute to help Li Yi in battle.

The Aersith who stood here now was not the same as who she used to be. Among all of Li Yi’s many pets and mounts, her Affinity for Li Yi was second only to the mermaid.

In other words, if Li Yi asked her to die now, she would not even bat an eyelid.

“The Nihilistic Territory’s final evolution is the Nihilistic Authority. Heh, that’s something only the Great Demon God King may learn. I still remember how the Seven Demon Gods fought their way up Mount Pantheon many years back. Aersith, your father, the Great Demon God King, defeated all the gods. If I hadn’t fought him personally and used the power of the Supreme Authority with the Ruler of God’s Staff, I’m afraid the whole Mount Pantheon would’ve fallen to his hands.”

Aersith’s voice shook as she said, “My father… You met my father?”

“Oh, it went far beyond a mere meeting. To be precise, your father died by my hand. Hmm, but it’s still fighting now, huh. You can accredit those soulless puppets of the Seven Demon Gods to that foolish woman, Carulla.”

“I’ll kill you!”

The purple light around Aersith flashed as her Nihilistic Territory reached toward Aragon.

On the other side, Li Yi was also extending his Chrono Territory toward Aragon at full strength, and the same went for The Mountain, who was attacking the four Divine Swords with his Natural Territory.

The Mountain’s Territory was called the Natural Territory, and its special effect was that it converted any target it made contact with into natural elements,

“I control the world’s strongest Divine Power and the supreme, peerless Authority, and yet you will activate the meaningless power of Territories against me? Are you trying to make me laugh?”

The aura barrier made from the Four Divine Swords protected Aragon firmly. Li Yi and company’s attacks could not reach him at all.

There were still 46 seconds until the Dark Resurrection Spell ended!

“It’s over…” The Mountain was getting deflated.

The distance between Divine Power and Territories was like the difference between adults and toothless babies. The gap was enormous.

The Legendary Pet Dolly attacked with all her might. After a few rounds of strengthening, her destructive power had also increased drastically. However, she could not use Divine Power either, so no matter how high her ATK was, she still could not harm a hair on Aragon’s head.

Aragon never attacked Li Yi and company, not because he was reluctant to, but because all of his attention was focused on the Ruler of God’s Armor floating in the air.

“My God Armor, why will you not fly onto my body? Do you despise this body as well?”

“Swoosh… swoosh… swoosh!”

The Ruler of God’s Armor spun above his head merrily, but it made no indication of falling across his shoulders.

“Heh, so even you look upon me with contempt? Even you look down on me!” Aragon’s voice suddenly rose in pitch.

While he had once been the Ruler of God, he had stayed a ‘despicable lower-class demon’ for all the millennia he had lived in Foreignland. Even he looked down on his current appearance.

“Why do you look down on me? As soon as I regain my Divine Power, I can look any way I want. Why do you look down on me? You fought by my side for several tens of thousands of years. Why do you look down on me?” Aragon’s emotions seemed very unstable. Li Yi and the others did not even exist in his eyes. All he saw was the Ruler of God’s Armor floating in midair.

“Swoosh… swoosh… swoosh!”

The Ruler of God’s Armor began to bounce even more frequently, but it still showed no signs of going to Aragon.

“Alright, I get what you mean. You can’t stand this body of mine, right? Hahahahaha, very well! Then just stand there and watch as I regain my Divine Power and my appearance as Ruler of God!”

Aragon’s gaze shifted to the Ruler of God’s Staff in Li Yi’s hands.

“Return my staff to me!”

Aragon pointed with a single finger, and the Wind Divine Sword flew out like a shot, slashing ruthlessly at Li Yi.

“Bathump!”

Before the Wind Divine Sword could even reach Li Yi, the HP bar above Li Yi’s head suddenly drained completely, and he fell flat on the ground.

“Bathump!”

The Mountain died as well, and Dolly was forcefully dismissed. Aersith was the only one left fighting.

Aersith was a mercenary, so while she had to obey Li Yi’s orders, the client’s death did not affect mercenaries. That was why she could keep fighting.

Once Li Yi died, the Ruler of God’s Staff that he held also dropped to the ground.

Li Yi had tried keeping the Ruler of God’s Staff into his Backpack before, but that attempt ended in failure. This was the strongest Divine Weapon in King of Pantheon, and it could not be kept into a Backpack.

“Those who oppose me will die, without exception!”

Aragon ignored Aersith’s attacks and walked toward the Ruler of God’s Staff.

Aersith glided to Li Yi’s side like a ghost. Reaching into his pockets, she pulled out an item, and her hands glowed with purple light as she raised them up high. “Resurrect, my hero!”

A bolt of purple light shot at Li Yi, and he immediately stood up.

“Huh?”

His HP was full, he was fully buffed, and his Attributes were quadrupled!

Li Yi’s head was filled with questions.

“Resurrect, my hero!”

Aersith continued to project the purple light, and this time, she resurrected Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.

Having saved two people in a row, Aersith could not help but a soft grunt as she collapsed to the ground, weakened.

“Hraaaah!”

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s body exploded with a piercing golden light as her silver Protect Armor shattered, revealing the sexy Flaming Dragon Armor underneath!

“Ultimate — Fist of the Raging Overlord!”

A golden meteor crashed toward Aragon mercilessly…

“Release, Chrono Authority!”

“Whizz!”

With Li Yi’s loud holler, a piercing golden light barrier expanded in an instant, covering 30 yards and enveloping Aragon completely.
