Chapter 990: Chapter 42: Detecting Incoming Fusion Strikes...

Rumble!

Without any warning, there was a colossal, deafening explosion echoing around!

Like an immense uproar tearing through the earth and sky, this sound resonated from afar, and simultaneously, the entire ground shook violently for a moment.

"...!!"

Just as she was about to enter the apartment building, not having had the chance to open the door, Amilia felt a violent shockwave sweep over her. She stumbled, almost falling to the ground. Grabbing the doorknob tightly, she raised her head in astonishment and instinctively looked in the direction the sound was coming from.

That was exactly the direction she had come from, but at this moment, an incredibly terrifying pressure was emanating from it!

The mighty pressure, resplendent like a prison, was endless!

"Earthquake! Earthquake..."

"Run quickly!!"

"Wait for me! Wait for me!!"

The pedestrians on the street immediately fell into panic, their reactions extremely swift. Upon realizing that the enormous shockwave, akin to an enormous typhoon’s eruption, and the violent tremor of the earth could likely mean something significant, they naturally became instantly flustered, their faces pale.

It was more than twisted expressions; they became utterly frantic.

Some had their pupils contract to the extreme in an instant; others cried out loudly without thinking, while some reflexively stumbled and ran wildly, attempting to find a good hiding place as quickly as possible, preparing to face the impending, even more, violent shock.

The street, just moments before filled with laughter and daily life, suddenly became chaotic and disorderly.

Even on the nearby road, there was a succession of screeching brake sounds and collisions, followed closely by the scent of gasoline and smoke permeating the air... All this happened in a fleeting instant. When those who reacted a bit slower came to their senses, it was as if they were placed in an apocalyptic atmosphere.

In short, the commotion spread rapidly among the crowd.

Word spread from one to ten to a hundred, exploding in a flower pattern, quickly spreading across the entire large city and even to the outer urban areas!

Moreover, probably due to the stimulation, in the depths of many people’s consciousness, at this moment, fragmentary images flickered unconsciously...

It was as if a déjà vu was triggered, making the scene feel slightly familiar, as if it had happened before, almost like it happened yesterday...

—Even though the memories were erased, some traces remained deep in people’s subconscious. The current situation felt like a cycle, with the instant and eternity seemingly overlapping at this moment, a feeling indescribable.

Despite not being able to break through the effects of the Demon King’s spell and recalling the previously deleted memories, the fear and despair rooted deep in their subconscious still surged forth, offering them double the thrill, and causing the tumult’s intensity to peak from the start.

"What’s going on?! An enemy attack?!"

Erica’s reaction was also swift. She deftly flipped from the upstairs balcony and leaped down, landing lightly beside Amilia.

Her crimson long dress fluttered, like a magnificent butterfly, yet exhibiting an anti-gravity and anti-air resistance effect that seemed magical, making one wonder if some spell was used to fix the direction of the skirt against Newtonian principles, which is certainly not scientific.

"No..."

Amilia glanced at the knightess who had just jumped down from upstairs, startled, then quickly regained her composure and shook her head, indicating that this wasn’t specifically aimed at them.

"Then it’s that situation from yesterday?"

Erica relaxed slightly, but her expression quickly froze again because just at that moment, from that direction, a blazing white light shot up into the sky.

Half of the sky was enveloped by endless light and heat...

The scorching rays even burned through the atmosphere directly!

At a glance, the immensely dazzling light made her feel a burning pain in her eyes, as if a gigantic fiery ball, like the sun, was rising, adding to the large sun in the sky, with the two suns simultaneously radiating light and heat, causing the atmospheric temperature to soar suddenly!

"Is that... a horse?!... Ugh—!!"

Amilia exclaimed in shock, instinctively widening her eyes, and then felt a searing pain on her retinas.

This made her groan, forced to painfully avert her gaze, yet the urgency in her heart intensified. She had never felt so fragile physically, so insignificant in the face of this raging catastrophe, powerless in facing disaster!

Indeed... I must quickly find a way to regain my Power!

The words from that strange young man not long ago replayed in her mind, every word precious, making her take them even more seriously...

Although the youth’s identity remained unknown, it was clear he knew many secrets, not only discerning that she was destined to destroy the Demon King, but also knowing she came from another world. It had all the makings of a profound sage template, naturally warranting Amilia’s attention and unquestionable belief in the information he disclosed.

—World-saving Divine Blade...

—Demon King Slayer Blade...

It is said to be the symbol of the Power to save the world, the last hope of glory...

According to that young man’s statement, she speculated that this likely was the world’s Holy Sword akin to the Hero, so she just needed to aim for it, perhaps she could bear the destiny as she once did during the trials in Ante Yisula World—

Obtain the Holy Sword, become a Hero, and then fulfill the duty of saving the world!

Amilia clenched her fist tightly, she decided resolutely, she was full of determination!

"Indeed, it is the ’White Horse’!"

At this moment, the Knightess in the golden hair and red dress also gazed towards the city skyline over there and similarly witnessed a resplendent sun that made her retina feel faintly stung by its brilliance.

Within that sun, there was faintly discernible an incredible outline; it was a divine white horse, soaring freely in the sky like the Pegasus of legends, its hooves stepping on the void, seemingly supporting that wheel of infinite light and heat.

Unlike the colossal figure of the previous Wild Boar, it was almost as if filming a tokusatsu movie.

Yet its majesty was still utterly undiminished, this spiritual steed with noble feet was like the Divine Beast that carried the Sun in legends, integrally one with the immense light wheel, angrily neighing, shooting white Flames as fierce as the sun’s out from the sky!

Even from afar, one could feel the astonishing heat brought by the high temperature radiation.

The heat was surging and rolling, the atmospheric temperature also soared rapidly.

But at the same time, a violent gale suddenly blew from the distant sky above, the flow of the wind faintly formed a massive vortex visible to the naked eye!

Seeing this scene, Erica’s heart suddenly skipped a beat; she realized the White Horse was angrily resisting because an enemy had appeared!

In the next moment, Flames and hot wind fiercely collided against each other, the disastrous fire akin to explosive flame was actually blocked by the long and mighty wind! The two seemed like tangible elemental lives, entangling in the sky, clashing, fighting, neither able to overpower the other, yet neither willing to give up the struggle.

"Indeed! It’s the same thing again!"

Erica took a deep breath, this was precisely the same ’Strong Wind’ that had defeated the ’Wild Boar’ before.

Now the ’White Horse’ had appeared as anticipated, yet the ’Strong Wind’ also promptly followed... These were the Divine Power phenomena witnessed on Sardinia, all related, surely the Defiant Gods had ventured from Italy to this far eastern island!

But...

Which God was it?

Moreover, why was this happening, could it be that for some reason, this God’s own Divine Power was dispersed, scattered across the world? Including the previous ’Wild Boar’, now the ’White Horse’ after, were they actually forms of a single Defiant God reclaiming their own Divine Power?

Thinking this way, Erica vaguely had a conjecture—

And indeed, this was also the truth.

The War God from Persia, according to his own will constantly sought opponents for battle. As the undefeated God of War, possessing the highest Godliness and Authority, he swept forward invincible across enemy territory. Until in Southern European Magic Realm’s domain, on Italy’s Sardinia, he then encountered a formidable enemy.

Mekar!

The King of the Gods, the great Warrior, also the strongest Hunter for slaying Dragons!

As the Baofeng, Lightning, Sky God, as the overarching God King of ancient Phoenicia, also as the prototype of Great Hero Hercules, ascending to the God King’s throne due to the feats of subjugating the Dragon King Yam!!

This Sky God was slumbering on Sardinia, War God Velaslana arrived at his Divine Domain, and the two engaged in a great battle. Ultimately, both were gravely injured... If following the trajectory of the original plot, Kusanagi Hikotou would carry the Fire Thief’s Stone Tablet, head to Sardinia at that time.

Exactly getting involved in it, he would unexpectedly end the showdown between the two Gods and rise to become the new Demon King.

However, for various reasons, everything was altered.

The battle between two top Defiant Gods ended, Mekar recuperating on Sardinia, while Velaslana pursued his dispersed incarnations, seeking to retrieve his Divine Power back, unknowingly leaving Southern Europe and arriving at the eastern territory... maybe it could be considered as "fate’s" guidance indeed.

"Nuclear bomb! It’s a nuclear bomb!"

"Crazy, crazy..."

"World war is about to start!!"

And at this moment, already quite panicked people went completely hysterical. ℴ

They couldn’t see the fine steed, just as they couldn’t see the previous Wild Boar. Yet the destruction and phenomena caused by the Divine Beast could certainly be observed, as if the sky was shattered, endless light and heat burning, another sun appeared in the sky besides the existing one’s miracle...

It was really easy to suspect a certain direction.

In fact—

Globally, quite a few major countries had already sounded the alarm, because they detected on course fusion strikes...
