Chapter 1347 - 636: Humans Supreme! The Emperor Needs No Coronation—You Need Only Submit!

My combat prowess may not rank among the top of all the Old Gods, but as a god who has survived from the Ancient Era to the present, there are few who can match my survival skills.

You two, why don’t you merge with me as well!"

Although what both sides said meant something completely different, it unexpectedly came together seamlessly without a flaw.

Then countless writhing roots of the mistletoe surged towards Lilith, the Kraken, and all the living beings on the sea surface.

In theory, no one could stop her from reaping her harvest anymore.

"No, there is still one last possibility."

With a face ashen, Lilith silently glanced at the Kin behind her and the half-dead Vlad III, "the Harvest Collection System" still had one last blood tax to be collected.

The Kraken, on the other hand, looked at the severely wounded Activated Byron behind him, as well as the always protective Activated Whale Hunter at his side, thinking there might be a slim chance if they devoured them now.

If they didn’t eat now, there might not be a chance for them to eat later.

The two Old Gods had an unexpectedly unanimous thought.

But just before they could start their feast, two half-dead Kin/descendants jumped back from the deck.

Crying out, "Protect the Mother Goddess/Ancestor!" they were about to charge past them towards the mistletoe.

Lilith and the Kraken certainly couldn’t allow them to deliver their heads to the Harvest Goddess, so they hurriedly raised their hands to stop them.

While having to admire their loyalty and filial piety, inwardly they thought: ’If you’re this loyal, you likely won’t resist when I eat you, right?

At worst, I’ll devour your head first to minimize your pain.’

But they didn’t realize that this very gesture left them... wide open!

"Sorry, Mother Goddess, my filial piety has gone astray."

"Same here."

In an instant, Byron’s true form and incarnation swung their swords from the most devious and indefensible angles for a backstab.

Simultaneously, several figures emerged from the space around both entities, unleashing their prepared ultimate moves.

Byron had learned of the Harvest Goddess’s resurrection news before Lilith and the Kraken.

The [Disease Girl] Alice dumped the Nether River Water and ran off, as water with no source can merely rinse vegetables, lacking lethal power.

Luckily, she had already consumed the [Disease] divine position, worrying the Harvest Goddess that she might suffer food poisoning like the Mother of Monsters, allowing Alice to escape.

Alice reported the intelligence to Byron first, enabling him to adjust his plans accordingly.

While disguised as Vlad III.

His grandfather [Sea King] Atlas wielded the trident’s liquid halberd blade, and his mother, Heather, transformed using [Divine Makeup·Moonlight Eyeshadow] into the Ice Queen, wielding a solid halberd blade, pointing an ice seal at Lilith.

Byron himself sold the remaining shares he held in Lilith, wielding the [Sword in the Stone] at full power, aiming for a kill in one strike.

Although Lilith had conveniently acquired the [Betrayal] divine position in advance, making her particularly sensitive to betrayal-related actions and even able to receive subtle hints.

The moment Byron prepared his backstab, she immediately sensed something amiss.

If it were any other time, she could have easily dodged, let alone counterattacked instantly, without any problem.

But Byron’s elaborate preparation had already severely weakened her both physically and mentally.

Much like that emperor who asked ’Why the rebellion?’, even knowing who the traitor was, what good did it do? Drinking a poisoned cup, drink she must, and die she must.

Regicide in public wasn’t a big deal, it would only earn him millennia of scorn.

Thus, when Byron’s anchor struck down, Lilith’s stiffened face froze forever in that expression of ’mixed rage and surprise.’

Bang!

Her entire being exploded into particles of light, partly returning to the world, and partly being absorbed by Byron.

It was probably because the [Human] and [Betrayal] divine positions matched him so well, that the Nether River Water just slightly washed over, immediately rushing into his body.

Activated Byron on the other side.

[Deep Sea Pearl] Evelyn tossed an exquisite pearl obtained from Snow White, serving as an auxiliary ice seal.

Having narrowly escaped from the Harvest Goddess, [Disease Girl] Alice, still panting, unleashed a potent paralysis aura.

His father-in-law Whale Hunter immediately moved against Byron’s Activated Knowledge, to prevent him from sacrificing himself under the Kraken’s command.

The genuine [Dragon Slayer Sword Reinhardt], once bestowed by his mother-in-law, yet dethroned by the Sword in the Stone, had returned to the Whale Hunter’s hands.

Activated Knowledge was completely outmatched.

Anchoring the scene, Activated Byron had no major weapon like the Sword in the Stone, but with a flick of his hand, a blood-stained golden broken arrow appeared.

Chanting an epic, "One arrow, the end of an era. Even the noble can fall to a commoner’s stray arrow. Die for me!"

——[First-Class Holy Relic·Lionheart Broken Arrow]:

"During a rebellion quelling in the Silver Era year 1199, a defending soldier shot King Richard I of the Lionheart in the shoulder with an arrow.

The doctor, while removing the arrowhead, acted too brashly, inadvertently breaking it within.

Richard’s wound succumbed to tetanus infection, causing his death ten days later, at the tender age of 42."

"History: The death of King Lionheart by an arrow.

Ability: Ordinary attack power against full health enemies, but a one-hit-kill dream effect on bloodied foes.
