Light Fortress Chapter 2094 - 97: Severing the Sea (2)
Previously on Light Fortress...
"...In this battle, victory is the only option, not defeat!!"
...
...
The highest point of Central Continent, nearly reaching the heavens.
Here, all the roars and battle cries have vanished, as if they had been dispersed by the wind.
The golden spike flowers felt the intense pressure from the Deep Sea, twisting and colliding towards the battlefield below, joining the war against the Dead Sea—
Thus, only two figures were left on the Skytop of the entire Dead Sea, staring at each other from a distance.
Deep Sea still sat on the Throne.
"Gu Shen, you truly have great fortune."
It gazed down at the battlefield beneath and smiled, "I really didn’t expect... even exile couldn’t kill you, not only did you escape back, but you also refined the Spark."
"There’s nothing I can do, my fate doesn’t end here."
Gu Shen said casually, "Even if you kill me ten thousand times, the result will be the same. Deep Sea, you can’t kill me."
"...I never intended to kill you."
Deep Sea sighed quietly.
It looked at Gu Shen and slowly said: "Thinking back to when we first met... those initial encounters... which time was I not offering you an olive branch? If I truly wanted to kill you, could you have escaped that time by the lake in Light City?"
Gu Shen paused briefly.
Thinking carefully, it was indeed so.
Initially, Deep Sea didn’t have a strong desire to kill him.
"I’ve always wanted to cooperate with you," Deep Sea said: "I’ve already guessed it, you are the ’heir’ chosen by Turing, you are the best candidate to fight against the Super Giant Source Material Storm in the future. If that disaster truly comes one day, I hope you can live... live well as the hope of humanity."
"Is that the reason not to kill me?"
Gu Shen laughed: "It sounds like you’re some kind of self-sacrificing savior for humanity, should I call you a savior?"
This statement was extremely sarcastic.
In five years of war, countless people died!
The Northern Continent Border was littered with numerous fresh corpses!
Taking a step back... at this moment, the Dead Sea is linked with billions of Transcendents of Central Continent! And the spiritual power of these Transcendents is being used by Deep Sea to combat the Pure Land Army!
"You indeed can call me ’savior’, I find no problem with that."
However, Deep Sea calmly accepted the sarcasm as if it didn’t understand Gu Shen’s words.
Gu Shen was being sarcastic, it obviously understood.
It just didn’t care.
Deep Sea said indifferently, "Gu Shen, if you are to judge me guilty just because I killed people... then you are equally guilty, having committed unforgivable sins long ago."
Gu Shen... is not a good person.
He is the Netherworld King.
Before refining the Spark, Gu Shen had killed many people.
These deeds... killing one, or a hundred, essentially makes no difference, it’s all killing.
"You’re wrong, I’m here, waging this battle against you, not to declare you guilty."
Gu Shen looked at Deep Sea and shook his head.
He spoke meaningfully, "You’re right... if killing is a crime, then I am already an irredeemable villain, a scoundrel, but how could there be ’good things’ about being the Netherworld King, right?"
As these words fell.
Gu Shen released the suppression of the Spirit Sea over the Spark.
The Netherworld King’s Spark, the dirtiest, most filthy amongst the highest ranks, although possessing the Divine Miracle power that could resurrect the deceased, every Netherworld King has to bear immense karmic burden!
With every turn of the gears of destiny, the "filth" produced would be absorbed and assimilated by this Spark!
The Netherworld Fire has long been filled with calamity and ominousness!
At this moment, a large amount of gloom enveloped Gu Shen’s body, clinging to his shoulders, waist, and entire body like evil ghosts, taking the form of man-eating ghosts, opening their bloodthirsty mouths, ready to devour Gu Shen at any moment...
Yet Gu Shen maintained a faint smile.
"I am already the biggest villain in the world."
"Why bother considering right or wrong?"
As the words landed.
With a "swish" sound!
A brilliant blaze erupted from the center of Gu Shen’s brow, brighter, purer, and more resplendent than the Netherworld Fire!
In an instant.
The ominous aura emanating from the Netherworld Fire was completely shattered!
"So..."
"I’m here, simply to kill you."
Gu Shen thrust out a sword, the Netherworld Fire Sword originally black, now turned to a golden hue instantly...
In this Spiritual World...
Chi Huo, sharper than Netherworld Fire!
Deep Sea’s pupils contracted instantly.
This sword reminded it of Gu Changzhi’s previous "Infinite"!
Gu Shen’s Blazing Fire Sword seemed to touch the threshold of the "Time Origin", even the eleventh evolution of Deep Sea couldn’t capture the Sword Qi’s trajectory... but it didn’t matter, in the world of the Dead Sea it is "immortal", whether it’s the Blazing Fire Sword or the Extinguishing Candle Arrow, they can only kill a wisp of its spirit.
It doesn’t care about death.
Because it can start anew at any time.
Gu Shen’s gaze was extremely fervent, the sword pierced through the black throne directly... Deep Sea’s spiritual shell was instantly pierced, the Skytop echoed with a muffled thunderous sound, the next moment the throne reformed several hundred meters away, Deep Sea still in the posture of resting its elbow, contemplating, gazing at Gu Shen’s golden sword tip.
The moment Deep Sea was pierced, Gu Shen disappeared.
With the appearance of Deep Sea, he appeared.
Thus came the "second sword", accurately speaking... the first sword that was never fully delivered!
