Chapter 469: The Dissolving Demigod

……

Outside the bell tower.

The sky was covered with dark clouds.

Matthew calmly looked at the dozen or so demigods with starlight chains on their bodies.

As expected.

He saw the figure of Taland, the Weaver of All Things, in the dark clouds.

Just as Matthew had guessed before.

This female spider also sold herself to the God of Starry Night, thus gaining the opportunity to be resurrected in the Land of Gods.

At that time, Matthew had not yet seen through this, so the attack did not carry the power of Paradise Lost, so Taland escaped.

In comparison.

The Thunder Demigod Kramer was very unfortunate.

"So, there are still seventeen demigods left in the Kingdom of the God of Starry Night."

Matthew looked at the demigods in the dark clouds with malicious eyes.

And these demigods who are high and mighty in the eyes of ordinary people.

They are very cautious when facing Matthew.

The dark clouds have clearly completely covered the top of the bell tower, and the momentum of all the demigods seems to be the same.

But the two sides confronted each other for a long time.

No demigod took the initiative to step forward.

It seemed that insisting on being in a stalemate here was the limit of what they could do.

"Son of Winter, you have finally taken this path."

"And the sisters of desire and the Queen of Crazy Thing who temporarily joined the Kingdom of God..."

"The demigod of killing was captured by a pretty boy? He is a stranger. Could he be the man kept by the God of Starry Night?"

Matthew identified the identities of the enemies one by one.

In his eyes.

It would be a pity to kill all the demigods one by one.

The only exception might be the demigod of cold winter, who was demoted from the Son of Winter. This god was considered one of the few moderates in the Tianlun Palace in the past, and he also had a good relationship with Ekmond.

It's a pity.

Against the background of the fall of Tianlun Palace.

It seems that the Son of Winter has to find a way out for his future.

But in Matthew's view.

Joining the camp of the God of Starry Night itself foreshadows a catastrophe.

Matthew could only express regret in his heart before taking action.

"Who goes first?"

Seeing that the demigods just stood there staring blankly, Matthew repeatedly used provocative looks but they ignored them all.

He decided to be more proactive -

Matthew took a big step towards the dark cloud.

Who knew what would happen in the next second.

The demigods actually retreated a long way back -

At first, everyone just took a small step back.

But maybe because everyone wanted to retreat behind others quickly, the entire demigod group eventually retreated nearly 300 meters!

They even left the area covered by the dark cloud!

For a while.

The only thing surrounding the bell tower and Matthew was the roaring dark cloud.

That scene...

Matthew felt embarrassed for them!

...

"Hint: The demigods were frightened by your reputation and collectively retreated more than 300 meters.

Your exploration level in the field of celebrities has been upgraded.

You have been awarded the title "God Retreat"!

God Retreat: Your name alone is enough to deter demigods!"

...

"Has my reputation become so terrifying without me realizing it?"

Matthew himself was actually a little surprised.

But on second thought.

Maybe he is used to it.

For outsiders.

Matthew is indeed one of the top wizards in the entire south, and his reputation is catching up with the Seven Saints.

Especially after the Lost Paradise incident.

As the only survivor among the gods, his legendary color has become even stronger.

Even if his level has not surpassed the legendary.

People dare not underestimate him.

Not to mention the demigods who know Matthew's strength better.

They probably know that Matthew has already embarked on the road to legend.

At this juncture.

If you don't have enough strength to hit Matthew, then you will most likely become a stepping stone on Matthew's road to legend.

Thunder demigod Kramer is such an unlucky example.

"So, you just came here to watch me?"

"The gods of Tianlun Palace have only this much courage?"

Seeing the demigods retreat so neatly.

Matthew couldn't help but sneer.

However, he underestimated the thickness of these old men's skins after all.

His sarcasm could not arouse the anger of the demigods at all.

They used the dark clouds as a barrier and began to move around the clock tower without any rules, and they didn't even want to look at Matthew face to face!

Seeing this scene.

Butterfly couldn't help but say:

"They just want to stare at you, or find a way to drag you here."

"Even if they just play hide-and-seek with you here, it's acceptable to them."

Matthew nodded gently.

Butterfly's statement is undoubtedly correct.

At present, the eight astral gates in Canning City are wide open, and a large number of astral creatures are pouring in every moment. The material layer is also constantly expanding under the shadow of the high-dimensional shadow.

Monsters are pouring in, and the ether is expanding.

As long as Matthew, who can affect all this, is held back, the mission of the demigods will be accomplished.

In order to achieve this goal.

Of course, they don't have to fight for their lives.

The gentlest way is the best.

Matthew suspects that even if he asks them to sing a song or dance at this moment, these demigods may not necessarily agree...

"The speed of ether injection is too fast."

Butterfly's voice is full of solemnity:

"In the most serious neighborhoods, small-scale distortions have occurred among ordinary people."

"If this trend continues, Canning will undoubtedly become a city of monsters!"

Matthew noticed another ether star core held tightly in the opponent's hand.

He raised his eyebrows:

"It's not time to use it yet."

Butterfly nodded:

"I understand."

"It's just that if I have to, I will eventually choose to end this endless ether storm with my own hands."

"Even if it hurts a lot of innocent people."

Even Butterfly's tone was quite firm.

Matthew could also sense his emotional struggle.

There is no doubt about it.

Butterfly still has deep feelings for the City of Order, but as an artificer, he may only feel deeply helpless about the current situation.

And for Matthew.

He is more concerned about the motives of the Starry Night God:

"What good will it do them to destroy Canning?"

"If the material layer really collapses, this place will only become a no-man's land where void turbulence rages and ether storms occur frequently."

"Even if the star world creatures pour in from the star world gate, they can't continue to survive here. This will have a blow to the power of faith of the Starry Night God."

"unless……"

"The Starry Night God has become a lackey of the void. Is Canning City a hole they opened in advance to welcome the arrival of the giant beast?"

Butterfly shook his head.

Expressing that he knows very little about knowledge involving the void.

But at this moment.

The nun who had been silently following Butterfly suddenly said:

"No, that's not the case."

Matthew looked at each other in surprise.

It wasn't until he saw those special eyes with two pupils that he became serious:

"Original Giza people?"

"Can you use your spiritual power to divine the motives of the Starry Night God?"

The nun shook her head:

"I'm not good at divination."

"But you can feel a person's heart."

"I can feel that the Starry Night God is filled with pride and enjoyment."

"He is like a king who has expanded his territory and is patrolling his territory."

"He has a strong desire to possess this land, rather than a simple desire for destruction. It seems that he has regarded Canning as his own..."

Matthew asked:

"Then can you find the location of the Starry Night God?"

The nun shook her head:

"uncertain."

"But he must not be nearby, and his position has been moving, as if he is circling around a certain point..."

Matthew and Butterfly looked at each other.

Could it be that the God of the Starry Night wanted to create a disaster, then save it with his own hands, and re-establish the majesty and image of the God in front of the ignorant crowd?

But this is too risky!

As for Canning's current situation.

Even Matthew is paying attention to the progress of the collapse of the material layer all the time——

In case you accidentally get caught in the turbulent flow of the void.

He still has to consume additional founder energy to have a chance to return to the material world, or rush back from the cemetery!

“There are so many problems and they all need to be solved.”

"Then let's do it one by one."

Matthew knew that it was too late. In the absence of more information, reasoning and judgment would often lead to more fallacies, so it was better to take action directly:

"Leave the star gate and the demigods to me."

"As for the solution to the expansion of ether..."

Matthew hadn't spoken yet.

Butterfly suddenly answered:

"Leave this problem to me to solve."

Matthew looked at each other:

"Are you sure?"

Butterfly smiled slightly:

"certainly."

"The artificer's familiarity with the ether is not as good as that of your mages."

"What's more, I have already contacted Cyber ​​Dragon, and I believe their support will arrive soon."

"As long as you can take care of the Star Gate and those pesky demigods, there shouldn't be any problems on my side."

"No matter what the outcome is, on behalf of the ordinary people in the City of Order, I would like to thank you for your help."

Matthew nodded.

Then he left the bell tower and took the initiative to fly in the direction of the dark clouds.

call!

The strong wind blew violently, but it only blew the hair on Matthew's cheeks and the hem of his robe.

He broke into the clouds.

The demigods were still hiding in the darkness, showing no trace except for a rough outline.

Matthew was quite helpless about this.

This is the land kingdom of the Starry Night God, and the demigods have extremely high authority and growth.

If they sincerely act like a turtle playing hide and seek with themselves.

It was really hard for Matthew to catch them for a while!

"A monk can run away, but he can't run away from the temple!"

"Then I'll go and dismantle those annoying astral gates first!"

Matthew changed his mind in time.

He withdrew from the dark clouds as quickly as possible, and when he fell into the air, Pegasus Oli jumped out of the air from the top of a building not far away and caught Matthew steadily.

Matthew rode the Pegasus straight into the distance.

on the ground.

Philoleus is leading an army of bone dragons to kill the monsters pouring in from the Star Gate.

Matthew gave Xiao Fei an instruction.

Then he arrived near the first star gate as quickly as possible!

This is also the largest star gate in the City of Order according to Matthew's visual inspection!

The level of chaos here is far beyond ordinary imagination.

Matthew’s expected scene of astral monsters massacring civilians did not appear——

The reason is that the civilians nearby either evacuated immediately, or have become dead souls under the claws of the astral creatures.

In fact.

What Matthew saw were more crazy scenes of astral monsters fighting each other!

Just passing through a main road near the Star Gate.

The number of monsters Matthew saw on the street exceeded thirty kinds——

Mantis Hunter and Mantis Mystic;

giant leech;

space eel;

Hundred-Eyed Giant;

Astral Swordfish;

The heart-stealing six-legged monster;

slurry;

Space Ghosts and Space Terrors;

Lizardfolk Defilers;

Adult moon shadow dragon and draconian guard;

Almost all elite monsters with some strength are competing for territory on this street.

Even the astral goblins and the astral mud monsters were fighting hard in the corners of the streets and alleys.

This scene is very unusual.

"Even if the Starry Night God can take advantage of the starry creatures' desire for the material world and recruit them to this side of the starry gate, these starry monsters are too irrational..."

"What are they fighting for?"

"Enclosing the territory? Did they get some information in advance, and the territory here is of great significance to them?"

Such thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.

Compared to Matthew's calmness.

Pegasus Ollie seemed a little panicked.

Obviously.

This was the first time for Ollie to come to a place where monsters gathered like this. Her four hooves stepped on the clouds very fast. At one moment, she almost tripped herself!

"Don't be afraid."

"These monsters can't hurt you."

Matthew soothed gently.

Ollie's mood calmed down a bit. Compared to the crowds on the ground, the passage in the sky was much wider, not to mention that the speed of the Golden Pegasus was far faster than most evil birds.

It didn't take long.

Matthew successfully arrived at the astral gate.

But his arrival obviously attracted some people's attention.

The first people to discover Ollie and Matthew were the group of mantis hunters and mystics who were responsible for guarding the door.

These people wore brooches emitting cosmic starlight on their chests.

He is obviously the most loyal believer of the Starry Night God.

"Trespassers!"

"die!"

A mantis mystic leader waved the staff in his hand, and what he spoke was actually a jerky common language.

For a while.

A large number of astral mantis people swarmed towards Matthew.

Mantis people can't fly.

But they jumped really high!

Ollie carried Matthew and stayed at a height of about two hundred meters.

But in an instant, dozens of mantis hunters jumped up.

Not only that.

They can also adjust the direction of their jumps and soars with the rapid trembling of their wings on their backs.

The mantises flew like arrows.

at the same time.

A giant leech that had become invisible in advance suddenly appeared above Matthew's head.

Layers of scarlet liquid oozed from the leech's body surface.

A large amount of soft but highly corrosive skin was about to wrap up Matthew and Ollie.

It was at that moment.

Matthew slowly raised his right hand high.

The palm of his hand.

The head of Augustus is floating with a faint blue light!

The short sound of the spell was drowned in the huge noise around him.

But the spell itself doesn't!

Under the increase in the power of the surging ether, almost instantly, all the units in the sky except Matthew and Ollie turned into panicked goats!

"Group Malicious Transformation Technique"!

Seeing that all those who were in the way turned into goats and fell down.

I won't be able to get up for a while.

Matthew was not in a hurry. He first shouted:

"A soldier!"

The words just fell.

Elegant shadows frequently appeared behind the mantis mystics.

The powerful assassination ability of the double-sword sage was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Each time an assassination is completed.

Ah Bingdu left a dark shadow on the spot.

When the shadows on the scene accumulate more and more.

The terrifying killing power became more and more obvious.

At the beginning.

The mantis mystic who is a long-range threat is only targeted by A Bing.

But soon.

His target turned to the mantis hunter falling from mid-air, as well as other nearby monsters!

cut!

cut!

cut!

Near the Star Gate.

The spirit of bamboo and jade played a small tune of killing.

The afterimages caused by the killing were densely scattered all around.

Ten seconds later.

A Bing's figure suddenly appeared behind the giant leech that relied on its super toughness to break free from the malicious transformation technique!

"cut!"

A powerful syllable burst out from A Bing's mouth.

So the next second.

All nearby afterimages disappeared without a trace.

The killing power that had been accumulated for a long time turned into that indiscriminate destructive strike!

Quietly.

Not only was the giant leech cut into hundreds of pieces, but other nearby monsters also suffered collectively.

After the afterimage disappears.

There were only corpses left near the astral gate.

Except Matthew, Ollie and A Bing.

Not even a living creature!

"Well done."

Matthew Shiran dismounted and came to the gate of the star world.

At this time, the scene inside the gate fluctuated.

A terrifying roar came from it.

A huge monster with giant goat horns seemed to be coming across the border.

Seeing this, Matthew just silently pulled out the killing sword.

Subsequently.

He stabbed this divine weapon hard into the center of the star gate!

After a few seconds.

The huge goat horns were forced in front of Matthew.

He could clearly see the bloody texture and white bone fragments on the goat's horns:

"Let me in!"

"Let me in!"

Angry voices came from the other side of the star gate.

What a pity.

It was at that moment.

The entire portal suddenly shattered like accidentally falling glass!

"No……"

"No no no!"

"I haven't entered yet..."

The screams from the star realm gradually faded away.

Matthew silently glanced at the data column.

…

"Tip: You used the "Sword of Killing" to destroy the "Teleportation Ritual of the Starry Night God"!

You interrupted the landing of the astral demon "Goat of Destruction".

The Goat of Destruction is about to be exiled to an unknown place in the multiverse..."

…

Unlucky goat.

wrong.

Should be the lucky goat.

"If he teleports here, there will be only death."

"Now even if I am exiled to another place, at least I still have a glimmer of hope."

Successfully closed the first star gate.

Matthew was in a pretty good mood.

The Killing Sword is really useful!

Any magic circle, seal, barrier, or ritual is as brittle as a thin film in front of this thing. Just poke it gently and it's done!

Without this weapon.

Matthew still has some trouble closing the star gate——

The conventional idea of ​​force bombing with evocation spells may be counterproductive in the context of aether expansion.

As for filling the void or killing the initiator of the teleportation ritual, it is not that realistic.

At least compared to the one-click closing of the Killing Sword.

All other methods are too much trouble!

Even better.

After experiencing the sublimation of Lost Paradise, the Sword of Killing, which became a divine weapon again, has stronger attributes, especially attack power.

Matthew now holds the killing sword in his hand, and even the true god dares to touch it!

Not to mention those demigods who only dared to nuzzle around but never dared to get close...

After successfully closing the first star gate.

Matthew rushed to the second seat again.

This time he didn't let A Bing take action.

Instead, he directly chose to clear the field with his ultimate move——

Claws of Alester!

Even the most common claws of giant beasts are endowed with the secret of extremely effective spells under the background of ether expansion.

Monsters near the astral gate experienced a painless death.

Before anyone else could react.

Matthew's killing sword once again stabbed deeply into the star gate.

After a few seconds.

The second door also shattered out of thin air.

Dark clouds in the distance are rushing towards me.

However, when they saw clearly what happened at the scene.

Matthew had already drifted away.

The third door is even simpler to deal with——

He asked Philoleus to complete the clearing work in advance.

Xiao Fei, who had always made Matthew worry-free, lived up to his high expectations this time. The Bone Dragon Legion he led successfully drove aside the nearby astral monsters.

It was Matthew's turn to arrive.

What he had to do became simple and boring——

draw sword;

insert;

finished; finished

Pull out.

Everything is as simple as eating and drinking.

And just when Matthew was running non-stop to the fourth star gate.

The demigods who were following behind the dark clouds finally couldn't sit still!

Matthew's efficiency in dismantling the Star Gate was too high.

Follow this trend.

Less than twenty minutes.

The remaining five star gates cannot escape the fate of being smashed!

"This guy doesn't seem to be afraid of us at all..."

"Nonsense, no one dares to go up to you, who will treat you as human beings?"

"This guy's magic power seems to be unlimited..."

"It's still nonsense. Now we are in the background of ether expansion. The city is a paradise for mages. If you lack anything, you will not lack mana!"

"Having said that, this guy must have gone too far..."

"He didn't even use the Scourge of the Undead. I think he has been very restrained!"

After several rounds of dialogue.

The demigods all glared at Queen Crazy, whose words were always thorny.

The latter was not afraid at all and stared back one by one.

Her status in the Kingdom of Land is relatively special, so she naturally looks down on these demigod colleagues who have completely become puppets of the Starry Night God.

"Well, there is no point in arguing with each other now. We must slow down his pace of dismantling the star gate."

"Everyone, we have reached this point. If we don't work hard, are we really waiting for pie to fall from the sky?"

Ikanos, the former ruined man, suggested with a solemn expression:

"We must guard the fifth astral gate."

Queen Kuangse said coldly:

"The question is how to do it?"

Ikanos said in a deep voice:

"field."

"This is our last chance."

…

Praise!

With the killing sword being inserted and pulled out in a dull manner.

The fourth star gate collapsed.

Under the angry gazes of all the astral creatures.

Matthew immediately rushed to the nearest fifth portal.

But as soon as he approached.

Matthew realized something was wrong.

There were no monsters from the astral world nearby!

No.

It's not that there were none.

They were hidden by them.

Matthew closed his eyes and concentrated his perception.

Soon, domain symbols that almost refined the elements to the level of mystery appeared in his vision -

Ruin;

Winter;

Desire;

Jealousy;

Killing;

Plague;

Pain;

Swarm;

...

Seventeen single domains that were raised to the extreme.

In addition to the Queen of the Crazy Zerg as an external aid.

Matthew understood.

This was the last battle of dignity for the demigods!

They didn't dare to fight Matthew with the strength of the material world, so they could only rely on the extreme single domain to suppress Matthew's power.

As long as Matthew wanted to destroy this astral gate.

He had to step into the domain carefully compiled by the demigods.

Although these domains seem to have average power, with the blessing of the High Dimension Shadow and the Land God Kingdom, they are enough to overwhelm the power of a legendary wizard.

Moreover, Matthew is not a legend yet.

At the same time.

The domains of the demigods are not completely uncoordinated.

Although they are independent of each other, under the coordination of the Starlight Chain from the Starry Night God, the edges of these domains show signs of slight fusion.

This is a sign of being tamed.

It is also an opportunity for the demigods to help each other.

No matter which domain Matthew enters, he will be besieged by all the others at the domain level.

This is a battle of domains.

It is also the level that the gods are best at!

Therefore.

It is their battle of dignity!

After seeing the joints clearly.

Matthew smiled lightly.

In fact, if he is more tactful, he can completely abandon this astral gate, dismantle the others first, and then play with these demigods.

Do that.

The one who is anxious must be the enemy.

But this time.

Matthew did not choose to take shortcuts.

Instead, he stepped into the realm that the demigods had carefully woven!

"You actually walked in."

"Are you confident that you can crush all of us in the realm?"

There was no surprise in the tone of the ruined demigod Ikanos, but only uncontrollable anger.

At that moment.

Matthew felt a wave of oppressive power descending on him.

It was as heavy as a dozen mountains behind him!

At the same time.

More power poured into the realm that Matthew himself owned.

That was the demigods trying to completely defeat Matthew from the level of subdivided realms!

However.

Whether it was the suppression on the spiritual level or the invasion of subdivided realms, it was doomed to be ineffective.

Matthew's eyes flashed.

The power of the person from the Lost Paradise allowed him to easily receive the anger of the demigods.

As for the infiltration of subdivided realms, it was even more ridiculous.

The biggest feature of the authority of the Minotaur Lord is-

Reject the infiltration of others!

For a while.

Matthew's own domain, under the strong suppression of the Minotaur's domain, formed an airtight iron barrel.

The demigods saw that the spiritual and domain-level attacks had not made any progress.

In the end.

They could only rely on the power of the high-dimensional shadow and the land kingdom to perform divine arts!

"Do you think you are a natural disaster wizard?"

"Do you think you are Isabel?"

"A wizard who is not even a legend dares to despise the gods?"

"Being bound and tortured, and burning in the fire is your final destination!"

More than a dozen angry and solemn voices intertwined.

In an instant.

Matthew found himself tied to a hot copper pillar.

The copper pillar was piled with firewood and kerosene.

The raging flames were spreading from the bottom of his feet step by step, and it was about to burn Matthew's feet.

But at that moment.

The demigods were shocked to find that Matthew, who was tied to the copper pillar, actually smiled:

"I am neither a natural disaster wizard nor Isabel."

"I know myself clearly. I am just a necromancer who needs to improve."

"But what about you?"

"Why are you, false gods, still indulging in false glory and power?"

"Perhaps, you were once high and mighty gods."

"But it is no longer the case since the fall of Tianlun Palace."

"No longer..."

Speaking of this.

Matthew's figure suddenly became extremely tall, and the copper pillar that bound him and the burning torture that burned him expanded to the point of occupying half of the sky!

His pronunciation also became ethereal and sacred:

"Ridiculous false gods, you should have predicted that your end has come long ago-"

"Disillusionment."

"Passing away."

"Destruction..."

"Gone!"

...

The voice fell.

In the horrified and desperate eyes of the demigods.

Their star spirit bodies in the kingdom of God, like the domain they possessed, began to rapidly melt away!

…
