Chapter 476: The Unborn Saint ( Final )

The thing that was supposed to come down to carry out the final judgment was the incomplete sixth branch behind the Unborn Saint.

But unlike the others, it did not separate and instead pointed directly at Lian’s chest.

Predator’s Instincts gave only one command.

Run.

This was a warning of certain death, if he did not run, his only possible fate would definitely be death.

He looked around, one question remained, where? Where was he supposed to run?

The gravitational pressure had sealed off several kilometers around him, Ash Step could only move him a few meters, and he had only one percent of his mana left.

Thunder Step might work one more time, and after that all his mana would be gone.

The sky above him filled with hundreds of bone spears, and the tips of all of them pointed downward.

At the same time, the ice under Lian’s feet began to rise, and a huge part of the ground was pushed toward the sky like an upside-down mountain.

He was surrounded from both above and below, and both results meant death.

The Saint planned to crush him between the sky and the ground.

He raised his head, and hundreds of spears began to shake, and at the same moment, the creature’s hand came down and the entire sky fell.

And ....Boom!

Lian waited for the explosion, he was not worried about death, the Extra Life he had could bring him back to life once, and after returning to life, all his mana would return to its peak and his condition would also return to normal.

It was a shame to waste an Extra Life again so soon, but that thing was exactly for events like this.

But the explosion ....did not come.

His eyes narrowed slightly, the spears had stopped, and hundreds of thousands of pieces of bone were floating motionless dozens of meters above his head.

The floating pieces of ice did not move, and the five huge rings had stopped moving.

Even the snow particles seemed to be frozen in the air for a moment.

At first, Lian thought time had stopped, but no, he could feel himself breathing and Ezrak was also moving, so time had not stopped.

"What the hell is this?" Then a voice came from above, the voice was calm.

The young Vorhelm raised his head, and a man was standing on one of the huge floating pieces of ice, his face was calm and both hands were inside the pockets of his clothes.

His dark hair moved around his face in the weak wind.

There was no huge aura around his body, and there was no great display of mana coming from him, but this very man was standing in the center of an attack that only a few moments ago had been described by Lian’s Predator’s Instincts with one word.

Death.

His eyes opened slightly wider for a moment, he knew this face, in fact, almost every man in the world and everyone who had access to the internet knew him.

Overlord Orion, known as Mountainbreaker.

Orion did not even look at Lian at first, his eyes stayed on the Unborn Saint, and his right eyebrow rose slightly.

"A Calamity Seed?" He examined it for a few seconds, then his frown became slightly deeper.

"No..."

His eyes moved over the bone halo and the creature’s body structure.

"It’s artificial?"

Even his voice contained a small amount of surprise.

Ezrak, who was still on one knee under the pressure, slowly lowered his head, hoping he would not be noticed, but ....he was wrong.

"You." Orion’s gaze fell on him.

"Hello?" The white-eyed man gave an awkward smile.

But the Overlord ignored him for now.

The Unborn Saint still did not know what it was facing, and the heavenly rings began to shake again.

Its pressure increased, and all the spears tried to come down.

Orion let out a short sigh, took his right hand out of his pocket, did nothing special, and simply raised his palm.

Then he closed his fist.

The space became heavy for a moment.

Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrack!

Lian raised his head, and what he saw finally made him understand how far below he still was and how insignificant he was.

All five heavenly rings cracked at the same time ....the cracks did not start from one point, but from everywhere, as if something invisible was pressing the entire structure from hundreds of directions at the same time.

The first ring shattered.

Then the second.

The third.

In less than a second, the entire heavenly crown turned into thousands of pieces, and hundreds of bone spears turned into dust.

The huge pieces of ice floating in the air split apart from the inside and fell to the ground like snow.

The Saint’s gravitational pressure disappeared, as if it had never existed.

The young Vorhelm said nothing, Ezrak was also silent, and even the Unborn Saint remained motionless for several seconds.

Its black eye slowly moved away from Lian and landed on Orion, it was clear that the Calamity Seed had now found a new target, a target it needed to get rid of before it could obtain what it wanted.

But could it?

Or would it choose to run?

The Saint tilted its head slightly and then moved...fortunately, it did not choose to run ...perhaps if the creature knew more about the world, it would have run.

But only a few minutes had passed since its birth, it had not learned fear yet, it still did not know that it was not the strongest.

It gathered all the power in its body and with only one step....Boom! It appeared in front of Orion in an instant.

Its white hand went directly toward the man’s chest.

The same movement that Lian had been forced to escape from using Ash Step, Thunder Step, the ice field, and all his instincts.

Overlord Orion did not even dodge and simply raised his palm.

Bــــــom!

The Saint’s fist hit his palm, and the impact spread across the entire area like an invisible wall.

The snow was pushed away for kilometers, the ice under their feet cracked, Ezrak had to raise his arm in front of his face, and Lian firmly planted his feet on the ground.

But Orion did not move even half a step backward.

The Calamity Seed pushed harder, its black-gold veins became brighter, and the ground under its feet shattered.

But still ....nothing.

The Overlord briefly looked at the creature’s hand and then at its black eye.

"You’re not weak."

The Saint’s black eye narrowed, and Orion closed his fingers around the creature’s wrist and then ...pulled.

The movement was simple, but the six-meter Calamity Seed was lifted from the ground. Orion turned his body once and slammed the creature into the ground.

Bـــــــــــــooooooom!

The entire icy plain shook, and the ground sank across a huge area, cracks several meters wide spread hundreds of meters in every direction, and ....a huge pillar of snow and ice rose into the sky.

Ezrak’s mouth remained open, and Lian could only stare.

A few moments later, the snow cleared, and the Saint was lying inside a huge crater.

The Overlord was standing above it, his foot placed on the creature’s chest.

The Saint tried to move, but he pressed down slightly.

Crack!

The chest that had adapted into several layers to withstand Lian’s Suppressing Palm collapsed inward, its bones broke and its muscles were crushed.

The Saint tried to change itself, it tried to adapt to the situation like before, but the man increased the pressure of his foot slightly.

The growth process stopped right there, and the changing veins became completely still.

The five branches of the halo rose, and the Saint tried to activate its field again, it did not want to be stopped this easily.

It had been born to become a Calamity! It had been born to reach a point where it could destroy worlds!

How could a creature like it accept defeat?

"Calm down." But Orion did not even look down.

Boom.

A short wave of pressure came out from under his foot, and all five branches of the halo were forced into the ice at the same time and suppressed.

None of them could move even one centimeter.

Lian was standing several dozen meters away, dried blood could be seen on his face, he had one percent of his mana left and had used four potions.

He had used Glacial Reaper Claw.

Thunder Calamity.

Cataclysm Pulse.

Thunder Step.

Ash Step.

False Presence.

Suppressing Palm.

World-Devourer Bastion.

He had used almost everything he had, but from the moment the Saint reached Level 45, he could no longer stand against it face to face.

At Level 50, he had been forced to give up direct combat, and at Level 60, every contact could kill him.

And at Level 65, the only thing he had been able to do was survive, and even that had failed, he had been only a few seconds away from death.

Now that same creature was under a man’s foot and could not even move its finger.

Without realizing it, he remained completely silent for several seconds.

Level 80 or higher after four evolutions...a Overlord.

Before, these were only numbers and titles, there were also Overlords in the Vorhelm family, but he had never seen one of them fight and had never seen their power with his own eyes.

Now, for the first time, he could see that gap with his own eyes.

This was an Overlord.

This was someone who stood almost at the top of the world, and his name was powerful enough to create deterrence like a nuclear bomb.

Orion still kept his foot on the Saint and then said without looking toward Lian.

"You’re Lian Vorhelm?"

"Yes."

Orion finally turned his head toward him, his eyes fell on him, then on the destroyed ground, and then on the mountain that was collapsing.

"Gareth only told me to find you."

His eyes moved across the area once.

"He didn’t say I was going to find a Calamity Seed in the middle of Antarctica, and a cave that looked like it used to be alive...So these are the things that madman was working on? The secrets he had been hiding all this time?"

"I didn’t expect to get involved in something like this so suddenly either." Lian answered with the same emotionless face.

"I can see that.....You kept him busy well enough until I got here." The Overlord looked at him for a few seconds, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly.

Kept him busy? He had been dying during all of this, what other choice did he have, at first he thought that consuming the womb could stop this thing’s growth, but he was wrong.

Then he tried to deal with it in other ways, but he failed every time.

More than keeping it busy, his goal had been to defeat it, and in the end, he had failed.
