Chapter 403 - The True Catastrophe, The End of the World!

Meanwhile.

A knight wearing a round hat gazed at the battlefield.

Making strange "kekeke" laughter sounds as he headed toward the distance.

He didn't expect to see such a large-scale war right after coming out, which excited him immensely.

Wherever he passed.

Tribes, forces, and nations that previously had friction.

Would inexplicably turn against each other and go to war.

This was the twisted nature of the War Knight, somewhat similar to the Darkin.

It would induce the darkest and most bloodthirsty side of people's hearts.

Next.

The last knight emitting an eerie green aura slowly appeared.

Carrying a pitch-black, rusted scale.

His entire being exuded a bone-chilling presence.

He was the Death Knight.

His existence was to collect the souls of those who died from war, plague, and famine, thereby strengthening his own power.

He could then influence causality, plunging this world into even more death.

No matter through what means.

In any case, more and more would die.

"Weilin oh Weilin! I really admire you! If you had god-king level divinity, the four of us together probably wouldn't be your match!!!"

Zeus was already trembling with rage, gritting his teeth.

Only she could create such twisted magic.

Having reached this point, he knew there was no room for redemption.

Because even killing the caster would be useless, unless the caster personally blew the horn again.

Only then would the Four Horsemen disappear.

Or when 99% of all living beings in the world were dead, the Four Horsemen would automatically vanish.

Zeus then looked toward the bunker, "Luo Ai'er! You people will pay the price for this!"

He also had to go make protective preparations first.

As well as ensure the continuation of the fire seed.

"How is this possible? You just blew a horn, and so many gods ran away?!"

Inside the bunker, Luo Ai'er found it hard to believe.

It was really a bit too sci-fi.

Lin Tian smiled coldly, "You think this horn is simple? 99% of all living beings in the world will become extinct because of it."

"What!!!"

Hearing this, everyone nearly lost their footing!

Just hearing it earlier didn't seem like much, but when "99% of all living beings will become extinct" entered their ears.

It exploded like thunder!

Lin Tian shrugged, "Don't worry about all that, let's do what we need to do. After some time we can go out to hunt the gods, and then I'll cancel the doomsday horn."

He originally didn't want to use this magic very much.

After all, if other living beings died, the future world would seem too desolate.

He only hoped that before killing the gods and lifting the apocalypse, the living beings in the world hadn't all died out.

...

Time passed day by day.

A great demon king who had previously participated in the bunker battle had already returned home.

A group of rhinoceros-headed sub-humans rushed up.

They looked very young, all children of this great demon king.

They could be considered one of the top-tier magical creature races, the Mountain-Flattening Giant Rhino Clan.

When mature, they stood ten meters tall, with thick leather armor that was impervious to blades and spears.

When enraged, they could easily smash a small mountain.

"Children, I'm back."

The Great Demon King Giant Rhino said with a hearty laugh.

Despite having extremely strong power, he was a gentle herbivorous magical creature.

Participating in battle was also unavoidable.

From the stone house, a huge female rhinoceros slowly walked out to greet her husband.

But as soon as she came out, she froze, "Husband..! Why do you have so many black mold spots on your face and body?!"

The Great Demon King Giant Rhino was also somewhat stunned, "Mold spots?"

Frightened, he hurriedly touched himself, feeling that nothing was wrong.

"Cough cough cough!"

At this moment, he felt an itchy sensation in his chest and coughed a few times.

"Poof!"

A large amount of black, viscous liquid mixed with foul blood was coughed up, spraying onto those little giant rhinos.

"This... impossible! Plague?!"

The Great Demon King Giant Rhino had at least seen the world, and immediately realized.

The reason he was coughing was that his internal organs were already full of mold spots, rotting and festering!

He hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and backed away, "Wife, quickly take the children and use plant ash to wash your bodies, don't worry about me! Hurry!!!"

For this type of race, medical awareness was very weak.

Even the entire world hadn't developed much medical culture.

They all leaned toward 'folk remedy' type healing methods.

Unfortunately, facing the terrifying plague, any folk remedies were useless.

"Where are you going! Are you going to abandon us!"

The female giant rhino trembled with fear.

However, the Great Demon King Giant Rhino ran outside without looking back. If he didn't leave after being infected with the plague, he might very well infect his family or even the entire clan!

Little did he know it was already too late.

The little giant rhinos stained with black blood were already powerless to return to heaven.

...

On the seventh day after the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse appeared.

The sky of the entire world was gray and lifeless.

As far as the eye could see, there were only dead trees and barren land, not a trace of green visible.

Everywhere were corpses of the dead, with crows and scavengers constantly pecking at them.

As if this was their last hearty meal.

By a river.

The corpse of that great demon king-level giant rhino sub-human lay there.

However, his leather armor was too thick for the scavengers to peck through.

But his two eye sockets were empty, having been claimed first by the crows.

In just seven days.

About five hundred million living beings had already died, and this was only the first wave of death.

Because the plague could cause death in about seven days.

Soon the second wave of death would begin, with massive deaths occurring daily from then on.

Extremely terrifying.

Moreover, wars were breaking out in many places, further accelerating the spread of the plague.

Under the influence of the Famine Knight, food was also beginning to run short.

Finally.

The great god-kings, under pressure, had to gather again at Mount Olympus for a council.

In the vast temple, the atmosphere was particularly gloomy.

Everyone obediently wore thick cloth strips as masks.

Afraid of being infected with the plague.

Even though they could be resurrected, the pain of illness and death was very real.

During this period, Hephaestus the fire god had already been infected.

But he was personally killed by Zeus who burned his corpse.

To prevent the spread.

"If there's anything to say, say it quickly. The situation has been serious lately and I'm really worried about being infected and then spreading it to the residents I rule!"

Horus said impatiently, maintaining a high-temperature shield.

Because he left early and had been using his solar domain to continuously disinfect his territory, no one had been infected with the plague yet.

Of course, most importantly, the Plague Knight hadn't wandered around their territory yet.

This was an unstoppable magical process that no one could escape.

"Swoosh!"

Zeus directly flashed in front of Horus wrapped in lightning power, grabbing his neck, "Don't you go too far, you bastard! You're just trash, what right do you have to put on airs here!"

During this time, the territory ruled by the Olympian Court.

Plague was rampant! Countless casualties had already occurred.

Famine was also unstoppable, and conflicts would break out between forces from time to time.

At most within a month, this territory spanning tens of thousands of kilometers would become hell.

With no living beings existing.

How could Zeus not be furious, "I'm warning you! If Olympus is gone, your Sun God Clan territory won't be spared either!"

Saying this, he threw Horus to the ground.

Horus struggled to get up, looking at his bloodshot, fierce eyes, not daring to make a sound.

"Enough, things have come to this point and we need to unite even more, finding a way to end this is the most important thing."

Odin said earnestly.

Even though he left early and tried his best to establish defenses.

He couldn't withstand the Plague Knight taking a stroll around the Aesir territory.

Soon their side would also experience large-scale deaths.

Horus looked aggrieved at this moment, "Why, why did dealing with a group of defeated subordinates turn out like this! Why!"

Four dignified god-kings.

Could only sit here helplessly.

How frustrating.

Odin then said, "Now there's probably no way to break through the bunker. Anyway, they don't have divine authority, so they can't possibly threaten our position. How about we try to negotiate peace?"

This was already a last resort.

At least they had to get the other side to cancel the apocalypse first.

Otherwise, in at most ten more days, over 80% of the current living beings would die.

Plus with the existence of the Famine Knight, over one-third of places already had no vitality.

Lifeless.

"How do you know they can't threaten us?"

Horus said somewhat emotionally excited at this moment.

Because he was the most cowardly one, always hesitant in making any decisions.

"Slap!"

Zeus immediately slapped him again, "Useless fool, if they could win, would they need to hide in the bunker?!"

Hela also nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. Anyway, they don't have divine authority, so no matter how strong they are, they'll die in a few hundred to a thousand years at most, and then we can rest easy."

Hearing this.

Zeus fell into contemplation.

He slapped the table, "We can't let this slide! Negotiating peace should only be done when we have no other choice!"

Odin frowned slightly, "But we've already reached that point. Continuing like this won't benefit us either."

"Who says so?"

Zeus's eyes flashed with a sinister light.

He then looked at the gods, "Let these guys attract the firepower, while you, me, and Hela focus fire on one position of the bunker. We can definitely break through."

"This... Lord Zeus, that artillery has various types of attacks that are very difficult to withstand!"

Horus said hurriedly, because he was also on the list of cannon fodder to attract firepower.

Of course he didn't want to do it.

However, the bunker's artillery could indeed directly kill god-kings.

Even if shield magic and the like could block it, they couldn't withstand such dense artillery fire, and there would definitely be casualties.

Poseidon and those minor gods, as well as Thor and Loki, all looked troubled.

Naturally, they didn't want to go die.

Just from watching earlier, they could see the risk of death was very high, and they weren't confident they could withstand it.

At this moment.

Zeus slowly rose from his throne, step by step approaching Horus, his face so dark it was about to drip water.

"Don't want to attract firepower? Fine, then I'll just kill you and give your divine authority to my people to use. Anyway, you're just wasting it, you useless fool! The strongest divine authority is in your hands, yet you display the weakest ability! If you had one-third of Phoenix's strength, the bunker would have been broken long ago!"

His voice was full of mockery and threats!

Horus was already scared to the point where his legs were trembling uncontrollably, "I... I'll attract the firepower!"

Hearing this.

Zeus finally stopped his approaching steps, then looked at the gods, pointing at Poseidon coldly, "Do you have any objections?"

Poseidon paused slightly, but still shook his head.

"What about you?"

Hades remained silent, not speaking.

"You?"

Apollo and the others naturally didn't dare to resist either.

It wasn't over yet.

Zeus's seemingly vulgar form walked toward Thor and Loki again, like a brutal tiger approaching lambs!

Scaring the two into complete submission!

Before Zeus could speak, Thor hurriedly said, "We're on the same battle line now, naturally we won't have any objections."

Only then did Zeus restrain his fierce expression, saying with satisfaction, "Since everyone has no objections, then prepare and let's go attack the bunker. If we fail, we'll adopt Lord Odin's peace negotiation plan."

"Why didn't you ask if I have any objections?"

Suddenly.

Athena's challenging voice rang out.

Breaking the oppressive atmosphere in this temple.

The gods found it hard to believe that someone would still dare to oppose Zeus at this critical moment!

Really crazy!

Even Poseidon tugged at her armor, "Athena, don't oppose him now, or you'll really be killed."

Hearing this.

Athena naturally understood the current situation.

But if she didn't protest, the bunker might very well be broken, and they were the ones attracting firepower.

They would inevitably be severely injured or even killed.

There would be no way to ambush Zeus.

"Athena, my daughter, why do you always have to oppose me! Take back your words and I'll pretend I didn't hear them!"

Zeus's face turned ugly again, but for the greater good, he temporarily endured it.

He still needed to preserve overall strength to attack the bunker.

Athena said coldly, "It's not that I'm opposing you, but this plan won't work. The situation inside the bunker is unknown. After we attract firepower and die, are you confident you can annihilate them all? Are you confident you won't be injured before breaking through?"

"Haha! Athena, you can rest assured about this. Even if I die a hundred times, my strength won't be diminished at all."

Hela laughed loudly, though it was laughter to ease the atmosphere, wanting to soothe her emotions.

Odin also smiled kindly, "Little Athena, perhaps you don't understand much about me, the Nine Realms War God?"

The title of Nine Realms War God was given to him by an evil god back then.

It meant that among the nine dimensional worlds that evil god had invaded, Odin's strength was among the best.

He even had considerable status in heretical worlds.

"Did you hear that? As long as we join forces, victory is without question!"

Zeus said calmly.

Previously it was purely overconfidence, plus the sudden situation with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

He hadn't been able to make such a decision earlier.

Athena was momentarily speechless, thinking, "But even if we kill the caster, the apocalyptic disaster can't be stopped."

"Hmph, wouldn't it be fine to just kill them? Anyway, after the Four Horsemen kill 99% of living beings they'll disappear. We'll preserve the fire seed, and restoration is just a matter of time. For us gods, what we lack least is time!"

Zeus said again.

This wasn't unreasonable either. Even if 99% of living beings died, recovery would take at most tens of thousands of years.

Thus, Athena completely didn't know what else to say.

It seemed there really was no opportunity to kill Zeus.

The situation was decided.

The gods didn't even make any other preparations, directly setting off toward the City of Evil Sages.

With great momentum!
