Chapter 784: Apollyon
Chapter 784: Apollyon
Julie used that opportunity to run away.
The green beams were still following.
“Can you sense the other two Eternals?” she asked, while dodging the attacks.
Neo gritted his teeth and nodded.
He wanted to fight.
However, he was growing weaker by the second.
“The two Eternals outside this universe are the actual attacking force, not the brute that just appeared. Fuck, that snake bastard was prepared for our escape and set them up in our way.
“Now listen closely, one of the Eternal outside is attacking us with these Temporal Frequency Beams, while the other is trying to integrate our temporal strands into this universe.
“If he succeeds, he can erase us with Ouroboros Authority,” she said while using countless spells to block the beams.
Neo wanted to speak.
But his entire body and existence was freezing up.
Without a physical body, he was dying.
He could also instinctively feel the Golden Threads of Fate hastening his weaking.
And worse….
Each of the beams that Julie diverted landed on a planet, and erased it.
Neo desperately wanted to stop it.
However, he was unable to do anything but curse his own weakness.
“Why…. are you… the Supremes… not helping?” Neo eeked out.
Julie laughed. It was filled with mockery.
“Most of them were killed by your father. The ones who are alive? Why would they want to help us and antagonize someone who could kill your father.”
“Then—”
“We don’t have time,” Julie said cutting him off. “Before the Eternals finish us off, we need to escape his universe.”
“What… are you trying to say…”
“Ask the Mad Supreme for help.”
Neo froze.
He could feel that Moraine would come if he asked for help.
But… this universe would be erased.
He didn’t want that.
Julie noticed his hesitation.
“This bastard…!”
She threw him onto Stage 6 planet.
He was smashed into its crystalline surface, the crystal spikes skewing his ethereal body.
Before he could stand up, Julie flew down and hit him with enough force that half of the planet was instantly flattened.
“You think we want to kill the people?!”
She glared at him.
“Ultris stayed back! He is going to die! He did that to buy time for you escape! And here you are, not even trying to do your best!”
Enraged, she was about to punch Neo.
However, the arrival of the beams forced her to grab him and dodge the attack.
The beam hit the planet.
Once again, and entire planet and all life forms within it were deleted.
“Fuck,” Julie spat, seeing Neo’s indecisiveness. “Fuck. You ruined everything!”
She began to chant spells under her breath.
Neo recognized the Dragon Tongue.
However, she wasn’t a dragon.
As if to prove that, her skin began to rupture. Blood flowed out and her veins burst.
Still, she continued.
“Stop, woman!” The six-armed Eternal roared, recognizing the Spell.
One of the Eternal that had been waiting outside the universe and attacking with the Temporal Frequency Beams moved.
His figure zipped through the universe.
He had to stop Julie.
But…
“Heh, too late.”
She flicked a middle finger to the two Eternals rushing towards her.
A powerful pressure wrapped around Neo and twisted the reality.
“Displace.”
As soon the words left Julie’s mouth, her tongue was cut, and Neo surroundings blurred.
They zipped past by him, they twisted, they reformed.
Neo couldn’t tell what was happening.
A voice spoke inside his head. Julies voice.
’Go straight.’
’Inside the True Blessed Land, you will find our allies if you look around. Don’t be prick and work with them.’
She hated Neo. She absolutely hated him.
But he was their last ticket.
Even if Ultris had stayed back, Apollyon was about to arrive out of the Forbidden Lands.
Julie had to send Neo away before that.
Neo’s surroundings finally settled. He noticed a giant universe in front of him. It was filled with…. Hope.
’Elemental World?’
’Why did Julie send me here instead of True Blessed Lands?’
That was when Neo noticed a sliced arm holding him.
It was Julie’s.
’…Did it get teleported along with me?’
Neo had been angry at Ultris and Julie.
But seeing the current situation, he couldn’t sort his own thoughts.
’No, I can think about everything later.’
’I need to enter that Elemental World first.’
Neo didn’t understand if he had come to the wrong place, or if the Elemental World in front of him truly was the True Blessed Land.
What he did understand was that he had to move forward.
That was easier said than done.
His dying body was barely listening to his command.
He couldn’t even speak anymore
Obitus materialized in his hand, and he tried to use it to cover the distance.
Only to fail miserably.
As soon as he generated even an ounce of energy, it disappeared.
Neo gritted his teeth.
He had to move.
That was when it happened.
The Golden Threads began to move far too excitedly.
Neo looked back with a snap, his eyes widening.
A golden hand so large that it could hold dozens of universes was coming towards him.
Neo instinctively knew the identity of the hand’s owner.
Apollyon.
’I need to leave.’
Neo tried to move, but he was far too slow.
The hand covered the distance. From the root universe where Neo was born to his current location.
It appeared in a split second and grabbed Neo.
Overwhelming force crushed Neo from all sides.
He, who could fight a Stage 7 Supreme, physically felt like an ant trying to push a mountain.
“Don’t try to resist, Heavenbreaker.”
The voice made Neo’s entire existence shudder.
It demanded subservience and prayers.
Neo’s existence wanted to bow to this person.
But… he refused.
He commanded his own Existence to stand upright.
“Resistance is futile, Heavenbreaker. Ultris is already dead. You have no hopes left.”
The words made Neo freeze. The surroundings zipped as Apollyon pulled Neo towards his own location.
Neo’s stomach lurched.
Since the moment he had left his universe, he felt like an ant being pulled along with the ocean waves.
He couldn’t do anything.
He couldn’t move. He couldn’t resist.
“I respect your father, Heavenbreaker. That is why I wish to talk to you. But if you keep resisting, then I will have to treat you as an enemy.”
Neo’s mind was a mess.
Too many things had happened too fast.
Apollyon’s words added to that mess.
Ultris was dead?
The bastard who likely cursed his parents respected them?
Neo needed an outlet.
He was far too angry, and he had enough of his being pulled along by Julie, the Eternals, or by Apollyon.
That’s why…
“Moraine.”
He decided to let loose.
“Come.”
He called upon his Authority as the Apostle of the Mad Supreme.
