I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 1663

Chapter 1663: Chapter 1664: The Fall Chapter 1663: Chapter 1664: The Fall “Foolish brother, you’ve frightened them all…” Cardis stood in the distance, his brows slightly furrowed, shaking his head as he spoke.

As he spoke, Cardis’s right hand, holding the staff of civilization, gently pointed forward, and instantly several dark red streaks of light burst forth from the staff, tracing arcs through the air before landing in front of Cardis.

The dark red lights instantly transformed into several half-lion, half-wolf monsters that roared and charged towards the crowd.

“They are mine!” Utodil smashed one of the half-lion, half-wolf monsters that got too close, landing on all fours, then pounced towards the people.

For a moment, the morale that had already plummeted to its nadir instantly dispersed. All NPCs of the Legendary Realm, one after another, fled towards the rear. Some, in their panic, even plunged headlong into the swamp, where monsters lurking in the marsh surrounded and dragged them into the depths.

Song Jian and Basford had already noticed Cardis and Utodil, observing that although their strength had fallen to the Legendary Realm, they did not behave like fighters of that level in battle. They were hunting down or driving into desperate situations more than a dozen NPC professionals of the same level as themselves.

“The drop in level doesn’t seem to have much effect on them…” Song Jian furrowed his brows, murmuring softly.

“At this rate, in no more than three months, these two will be able to re-enter the Demi-God Realm…” Basford also spoke gravely, “They are just deities with weak divine power. Those stronger than them will recover even faster.”

“Song Jian, if you really want to seize this opportunity to ascend to the divine throne and become a true deity, I suggest we must speed up the pace and efficiency of our hunting!” Basford turned his head to look at Song Jian seriously.

Song Jian remained silent. With the Swallowing the Sky technique and the Posuo Fruit, he had complete mastery over the Time Law. It was only a matter of time. Once he fully grasped the Time Law, Song Jian would be able to ascend to the divine level. Moreover, he had a complete Law of Power in his hands, which meant that upon entering the true Divine Realm, his strength would increase manifold.

A deity who possessed two complete laws would be significantly more powerful than those with weak divine power, and would be only a step away from those with moderate divine power.

Therefore, Song Jian was not so eager to hunt the two deities that had fallen to the mortal world. This differed from Basford, who had been in the Demi-God Realm for far too long, and breaking through to the true divine level had almost become an obsession.

“You deal with the lion-headed one, I’ll take on the big crocodile!” Song Jian pointed at the two figures on the ground.

“The God of Battle, Cardis?” Basford’s brows slightly furrowed as he whispered to himself.

A moment later, Basford gritted his teeth and said, “Agreed, but you must fight swiftly. I alone may not be a match for it. As soon as you kill the God of Rage, you must come to my aid immediately…”

Basford had recognized Cardis; after all, the two deities were highly recognizable, and it was no secret that the God of Battle and the God of Rage were brothers.

“Agreed!” Song Jian nodded.

Though the God of Rage fought wildly below, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, his Vitality Points had not fully recovered, only about eighty percent or so, which indicated that the injuries suffered earlier had not completely healed.

Such a boss of the Legendary Realm, however powerful, was not considered very strong in Song Jian’s eyes.

“No matter how formidable you are, you’re still far inferior to the bosses of the Demi-God Realm…” Song Jian muttered to himself.

With a flick of his right hand, the Sky-breaking Sword appeared in his palm. Chaotic Sword Qi surged within him, and in an instant, the light within several hundred meters dimmed, as if in a matter of seconds, day had turned into night.

The perpetually smiling face of Cardis suddenly became serious, and he looked around with a vigilant expression. His consciousness spread out in all directions, sweeping across the surroundings.

Just at that moment, a streak of firelight appeared out of nowhere in the sky, a fireball as large as a meteorite descended from the heavens, hurtling towards Cardis!

“Divine skill…” Cardis could distinctly feel a trace of divinity within the flames, and his previously tense heart immediately relaxed.

His expression also became much more relaxed, and pointing his Civilization Staff at Basford, who had already revealed his figure in mid-air, he laughed and said, “Indeed, the scum of the Demi-God Level have started to stir. Compared to these mere flesh and blood, your divinity is the best replenishment for us to restore our strength!”

Crackle~
A dark red lightning bolt erupted from the Civilization Staff and rushed towards the fireball. Mid-air, the dark red lightning instantly transformed into a huge axe, viciously cleaving through the fireball.

Boom~
A loud noise rang out as the fireball burst in mid-air, the scorching aura instantly sweeping through an area of dozens of meters around it.

Basford’s surprise attack had failed, but his face did not show any signs of panic; it seemed as though everything was within his expectations.

Immediately after, a vast expanse of dark red clouds appeared above Cardis’s head, covering an area of several hundred meters. Within the clouds, lightning flashed, as if harboring boundless, terrifying energy.

This time, the smile had disappeared from Cardis’s face, replaced by a look of utmost caution. His eyes were piercing, fixed on the clouds above, and his grip on the Civilization Staff had tightened.

At this moment, Basford’s mindset was not entirely relaxed, but he was also not under much pressure. In his battle with Cardis, he appeared calm and composed, as if he were participating in a friendly match.

“No, something is off with his condition…” After a few probing moves with Basford, Cardis’s brow furrowed tightly, and after a moment, his gaze turned towards the gradually brightening stars in the pitch-black sky and the distant form of Utother.

“Utother, be careful!” Cardis suddenly shouted.

No sooner had his voice fallen when the stars in the sky began to explode one by one. Utother felt as if he were in the midst of the universe itself, surrounded by shattered stars.

“What, what is this situation!” Utother cried out in horror, aware of the tremendous power released as the stars burst.

Boom~
A star shattered right in front of Utother’s eyes, and a surge of chaotic Sword Qi burst forth at the moment of the star’s fragmentation, flooding towards Utother and instantly tearing apart his body.

“How, how is this possible, even if he is a peak Demi-God Realm powerhouse, how can he possess such a terrifying skill…” Utother, who had mostly restored his body, was wracked with intense pain. He could clearly feel that his body could no longer withstand such colossal energy, slowly crumbling apart.

And with the collapse of his body, his will was gradually shattered into pieces!
