The Seventh Base - Chapter 1344: 103: Clash of Ideologies

Capítulo 1344: Chapter 103: Clash of Ideologies

The Punishment Sword unleashed infinite purification holy light, each ray containing the Light of Destruction, representing a top-tier ultimate skill.

Each sword strike had the power to shatter celestial bodies, not to mention the countless sword lights present at this moment.

Before Osman O’Brian’s massive handprint covered the sky, it seemed like a colossal celestial body descending, crushing downwards, with a blazing energy storm brewing within, destroying everything like the energy storm from an exploding star, as the purification sword light fell upon it, erupting with terrifying power.

A single sword was unable to destroy it, but as endless holy light descended, each light was like a sword, and suddenly the massive celestial handprint began to collapse, exploding in mid-air, with the falling energy containing a dreadful aura of destruction.

“Osman, you still have time to regret; together, we can create a peaceful world,” the Pope bathed in holy light continued to speak loudly, but in truth, his heart was as hard as stone. What he desired was war, continuously erupting wars that would overturn heaven and earth, destroy the universe.

At that time, the entire universe would reset, returning to the original state.

Civilization is the source of all evil, power likewise, only by regressing civilization, returning to the primitive state, would humans naturally lack the ability to wage wars. At that time, the Church would rule the universe with its doctrine, everyone would believe in the Church, spreading the good in their hearts, such a world was the Cosmic World he longed for in his heart.

To achieve this goal, he was willing to topple the universe and let it return to its beauty.

The current universe was filled with evil, with human nature being despicable, willing to go to any lengths for power.

His sword, named Punishment Sword, was meant to chastise all evil.

“I don’t understand your world,” Osman, having transformed into a giant, spoke coldly. His pupils emitted destructive energy, accompanied by thunderous sounds, as his massive body stepped towards the opponent. His attacks could only reach their strongest level upon contact.

The Pope of the Church was originally one of the strongest transcendents in the universe, standing at the pinnacle of the universe. This was also his first encounter with the opponent. Osman felt that he might lose, but he remained unafraid.

As his massive left handprint once again slapped towards the Pope, the destruction handprint covered the sky. The battlefield between the two collided violently and directly, and from the battle scene, its intensity was no less than the battlefield between Lin Qinghe and the Mystic God, as the two engaged in a direct confrontation.

The Pope was still bathed in endless holy light, with the gigantic divine light silhouette wielding the Punishment Sword, stabbing forward, immediately sending countless sword lights piercing towards the colossal celestial handprint, leading to continuous explosions and destruction, yet that hand remained unstoppable.

The Pope let out a cold snort, and the scepter gripped in his right hand shone with an incomparably divine and dazzling light, as countless rays of light throughout the universe flowed towards his scepter. The sky above the Emperor Star appeared submerged in light. Even inside the warships, it seemed difficult to see clearly, as signals were blocked by the light.

The Pope’s gigantic silhouette appeared almost transparent, and his own strength was exceptionally powerful. Moreover, holding the Divine Scepter, the Cosmic Treasure, this scepter was a relic of his family, for which his family paid the price of destruction. Until his family was annihilated and he was deposed, he managed to reconnect the clues from his memory to find it.

The Divine Scepter represents light.

Subsequently, he also forged a Punishment Sword, representing the chastisement of evil.

Light and evil established the majesty of His Holiness the Pope, with the Source God Sect rising among many churches, even annexing many churches to become one of the most powerful forces in the universe today.

The Divine Scepter stabbed forward, as countless rays of light in the universe irradiated the massive handprint simultaneously, immediately forming a terrifying pillar of light. With a booming sound, Osman O’Brian’s massive handprint was penetrated, creating numerous holes thereafter.

The light pillar transformed from the Divine Scepter continued to move forward, pounding towards his body. But at this moment, the Pope saw that Osman, with his other hand, held a massive long spear, stabbing forward in the instant he waved his scepter, shifting the attack position.

This scene caused the Pope’s pupils to constrict. Osman might have known his attack was inferior, so he didn’t choose to confront head-on, opting for a misaligned attack instead, enduring his attack and attempting to take his life with this spear.

This spear was extremely terrifying. Upon its release, a destructive celestial storm surged forward, creating a pillar of destruction in the sky, a super strong ultimate combat skill realized by him, named Apocalypse.

The name might be somewhat exaggerated, but destroying an ordinary planet with this spear posed no problem whatsoever.

“Madman.” A thought flashed in the Pope’s mind as the power erupted from the Divine Scepter already penetrated Osman’s body. Yet, he unleashed a desperate spear in an attempt to annihilate him.

As the Punishment Sword swung out, the Pope’s body turned into light, and his almost transparent silhouette vanished like a beam of light.

“Dong…”

A dull, heavy sound rang out. How terrifying was the power of this spear? Its immense range directly destroyed that gigantic light figure. The beam of destruction continued forward, impacting on the distant starships, causing them to disassemble and explode under the power of destruction, an extraordinarily shocking scene.

The power of a single spear can shake the heavens and earth.

In the sky, a figure was struck by Destruction Power and sent flying—it was none other than the Pope.

Osman looked down to see a gaping hole in his towering, massive body, sending chills through one’s heart.

“Father.” In the chaotic battlefield, Vera O’Brien saw Osman’s dire situation, her eyes red with sorrow. But in this level of battle, there was nothing she could do; she could only remain on her own battlefield.

In a battlefield of the Destroyer Level, if she dared to step forward, she would likely be instantly reduced to dust, completely unable to withstand the aftermath of the Destroyer.

On the ground, on O’Brien Star’s surface, many areas were affected. Amidst the flames of war, some still looked up to the sky, while others watched the screens.

“Leader.” Countless people felt a sense of loss. Although due to the war, public opinion supported Mystic God, and Osman had even been ousted, even so, Osman was still fighting for the planet, even fighting to this extent.

As one of the strongest beings in the universe and the founder of the O’Brian Republic, he could have chosen to abandon O’Brien Star and avoid this battle. But he didn’t do that; instead, he fought to protect O’Brien Star.

They looked towards the battlefield and saw the Pope returning. Although he was hit by that strike, it didn’t cause a devastating blow. He stared at Osman, knowing that if his speed hadn’t been quick enough, that spear probably would have severely injured him.

“Osman.” The Pope spoke, “You once founded the O’Brian Republic, creating a civilized nation. Yet in times of crisis, your people have abandoned you, yet you still fight for them. If one day you fall into the mundane world, how will your people treat you then?”

He recalled his own past. Once, he was the Crown Prince of the Royal Family, the pride of the planet. Yet, everything he experienced later was deeply ingrained, and even though now he can remain calm about his past, it doesn’t mean he forgets it all.

Human nature is most selfish, cruel, and merciless.

Osman felt like a shadow of his former self.

Osman was willing to fight for the citizens of the Republic Capital Star, but his citizens might not necessarily be grateful. They only wanted to survive, and to survive, they could push Osman off his pedestal, and also add insult to injury, as long as they themselves could live.

“I don’t fight for them; I fight for myself,” Osman said.

“For yourself?” The Pope looked at him.

“The act of humans protecting others comes from self-interest. If you desire others’ gratitude, of course, you’d be disappointed. What I do is merely adhere to my own beliefs. The universe needs civilization,” Osman said. “The era of the Empire, was it not an era worth yearning for?”

“Your Holiness, why did you establish the Church, and what do you fight for?” Osman asked.

The Pope was surprisingly filled with respect for Osman’s words. Although their beliefs were different, he too adhered to his own beliefs and executed them firmly, but it didn’t mean he denied everything.

“Osman, you are worthy of respect,” the Pope said. “As for me? I fight for peace in the universe.”

“Ridiculous,” Osman retorted sarcastically.

“Our understanding of peace is just different,” the Pope said. “In an era of high civilization, peace can never exist. The universe is inherently a hunting ground; only when everyone is equal—not just in status but in technology, civilization, and faith—can absolute peace be achieved.”

“You want to reshape the universe?” Osman stared at the Pope.

The Pope did not answer, seeming to silently agree.

“Madman.” Osman stared at the Pope. He felt that the Pope was even crazier than Lin Shou and Mystic God. He wanted to destroy the entire universe and reshape it. Only by reshaping could he achieve what he called absolute equality in status, technology, civilization, and faith.

“Boom.”

A fierce aura erupted from Osman as he thrust his long spear forward once again, causing the Light of Destruction to appear in the sky, piercing through the firmament.

Murderous intent gleamed in the eyes of the Pope. Although he admired Osman’s beliefs, he deemed them foolish. With different stances, only destruction remained.
