Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 594 Next, let’s take a gamble

boom!

The incomplete kingdom of God turned into a cocoon of light, enveloping the two of them again.

Xingluo clenched his teeth, and his bones in his body cracked slightly, emitting an ominous light:

"Pandora, hold me tight. Next...it's time to take a gamble."

"What do you want to do—"

Before he finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly fell into endless void.

The next moment, heaven and earth returned to silence, with only the ruined kingdom of God slowly dissipating under the starry sky.

In the ruined kingdom of God, Xingluo and Pandora stood back to back, covered in blood.

"...Can you still move?"

Pandora's voice trembled, and blood was still oozing from her palms. The purple-black sickle had shattered into pieces, and as she breathed, the shattered soul wavered, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if it would go out in the next moment.

Xingluo raised his head with difficulty, the divine fire still burning in his eyes: "Yes." Although it was only a simple word, he said it with all his strength, as if he was risking everything.

In the distance, the afterimage of the pope slowly emerged, and the twelve wings of light were completely shattered, but a holy light core was still shining in the void. That was the origin that supported the existence of the "Kingdom of God" - as long as the core was not destroyed, this area would not truly collapse.

"Foolish ants, do you think that by destroying my body, you can destroy God's realm?"

The Pope stretched out his hand, and the shattered holy light condensed again, transforming into countless sharp spears of light, which hung over the two men's heads like a rainstorm.

"In that case... let me turn into dust here completely."

A spear of light fell.

boom!

The earth exploded.

Following closely behind, countless spears of light fell like thunder.

Pandora was blown away and hit the light wall hard, with a crisp sound coming from her chest. She spurted out black blood, but her fingers were shaking as she formed seals, sending the last wisp of death energy to Xingluo: "Hurry... This is the only soul power I have left... Don't waste it!"

"Pandora!"

Xingluo's eyes were bloodshot, and the bones in his body made of divine flame crystals finally made an ominous cracking sound.

"……Hahaha."

He laughed miserably and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "In order to survive, and for her - I'll risk it all!"

-

boom--! ! !

A loud noise similar to the cracking of a star core came from Xingluo's body, and the divine flame crystal on his spine suddenly burst into a bloody red light. The flames rolled violently and swallowed him whole.

However, unlike the warm flames of the past, this time the flames were mixed with dark threads. It was the fallen divine flame, which even the gods feared - "God-destroying fire."

His skin cracked, reorganized, burned, and regenerated. A pair of huge space-time wings made of flames slowly grew behind him. The scorching power even caused the holy light of the entire kingdom of God to begin to tremble.

“…What kind of power is this?!”

The Pope finally roared and his pupils contracted violently.

"It is specially used to...burn away the power of the Kingdom of God."

Xingluo raised his head and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hands, and the flames between his fingers rolled wildly, condensing into a blood-red meteor.

"Pandora, lend me some of your 'death energy' - I want to make a big bet."

"You're crazy...if you fail, you'll be wiped out!"

Pandora shook her head desperately, but her tears couldn't stop falling.

"It doesn't matter. If we don't do this, we'll both be wiped out."

Xing Luo smiled calmly, his eyes were extremely firm: "Even if I have to die, I have to take that bright beast with me."

The blood-red meteor expanded rapidly under the interweaving of flames and death, and finally turned into a world-destroying dragon made of flames and darkness, hovering under the dome of the kingdom of God.

"You think you can destroy my country with such power?!"

The Pope roared, the core of the holy light spun wildly, and the endless holy light turned into a huge light shield, trying to block the impact of the World-Destroying Dragon.

"Try it!"

Xingluo and Pandora shouted at the same time, their minds intertwined, and they controlled the giant dragon to crash into the light shield!

Boom——! ! !

A loud noise tore through the sky and earth.

The light shield broke apart bit by bit, and the light of the Holy Light Core dimmed rapidly. The entire space of the Kingdom of God began to collapse, and a crack visible to the naked eye appeared in the void.

"Pandora!! The rift can only last for three seconds - follow me!!"

Xingluo roared, picked up Pandora and rushed towards the crack.

"Damn it! You can't even think about it—"

The Pope roared, and the last spear of light shot out and pierced Xingluo's back!

puff-

Blood spurted out wildly.

"what--!!"

After the Pope let out a scream, his strength suddenly increased.

"This is the embodiment of rules." Pandora's wings trembled slightly, the flames were suppressed inch by inch, and even Xu Yuan's power began to become unstable.

"Pandora, don't fight hard." Xingluo whispered.

Inside his body, the bones made of divine flame crystals had begun to crack, and a blazing red light shone through, like magma flowing in his body.

"Listen..." He spoke in a low voice, revealing a hint of determination, "Next... I will open a gap for you, you leave here, and leave the rest to me!"

"No!" Pandora's pupils suddenly shrank, her wings suddenly spread out, and flames surged.

"Don't mess around! We must have other ways."

"There's no time anymore." Xingluo smiled slightly, a smile that was free and easy yet sad.

boom! ! !

His whole body suddenly burst out with an extremely blazing red flame of time and space, and even the holy light of the kingdom of God was torn apart by a crack.

"Pandora! Now!"

Tears flashed in Pandora's eyes.

"...You're a lunatic."

She took a deep breath, clasped her hands together, and the flaming wings behind her suddenly ignited with purple-gold flames.

"Oh, Urobuchi - burn me up and turn me into the fire of judgment!"

——Urobuchi's ultimate magical skill: Nirvana Shinshin!

The entire flaming wing transformed into a phoenix that blocked out the sun and soared into the sky!

The wings of the phoenix stirred up a torrent of fire, heading straight for the core of the kingdom of God where the Pope was.

The Pope roared: "How dare you!!!"

He exerted his full strength to unleash divine punishment, and the holy light turned into thousands of thunders that poured down.

However, the phoenix rises from the ashes, and every time it is shattered, it is reborn from the ashes again.

--boom! ! ! !

The flaming phoenix and the core of the kingdom of God exploded at the same time, and the sky and the earth darkened.

The Kingdom of God collapsed in flames.

The Pope half-knelt on the ground, his heavy holy light armor was covered with cracks, and golden blood dripped from his fingertips.

"How can a mortal... actually..."

Before he finished speaking, flames suddenly appeared behind him and Pandora slowly descended with divine fire flashing in her eyes.

"God? You will bleed too." She said in a low and cold voice.

Xingluo staggered out of the flaming ruins.

His skin had already been charred and cracked. The power of the Divine Flame Crystal had finally completely merged into his flesh, blood, and bones. At this moment, even his bones and blood were burning.

"Huh...huh..."

Pandora rushed over and held him.

"I said, you are not allowed to die." Her voice trembled, tears slid down her cheeks and evaporated in the hot flames.

"Heh..." Xingluo smiled slightly and reached out to wipe away her tears.

"I'm still alive..."

The next moment after Xingluo's death, his eyes suddenly turned cold, as if he had made some decision.

Xingluo did not stop, but gritted his teeth and threw Pandora to the other end of the crack.

"Stay alive!! Don't look back!!"

The next moment, the blood-red flames completely devoured the Holy Light Core.

"……No!!!"

The Pope let out an unwilling roar, and the entire kingdom of God collapsed and annihilated in a huge roar, turning into billions of light points, floating in the endless void.

Pandora fell onto a piece of ruined ruins and looked behind her with wide eyes.

"Starfall!!!"

However, there were only black ashes left by the blazing flames.

The air was eerily silent.

Pandora reached out her trembling hand, trying to grab the ashes.

Suddenly, a fire lit up among the ashes.

"…Why are you crying?"

The familiar voice was hoarse, but with a hint of teasing.

Pandora's eyes widened as she watched the ball of energy slowly condense into a human form - with wounds on the flesh that had not yet healed, and a pair of eyes that still burned with flames.

"Starfall..."

"I'm sorry, but my life is probably... not over yet."

Xingluo smiled slightly, then knelt heavily on the ground: "But now I really... have no strength at all."

Pandora rushed over and hugged him tightly, tears flowing uncontrollably.

"we won."

Xingluo leaned on her shoulder, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "But the price... is too high..."

The remaining soul of the Pope was engulfed by flames, but he roared in the depths of the void: "Ants...you will pay the price for this."

The bones in Xingluo's body were completely cracked, and faint whispers of an ancient will could be heard - he seemed to be awakening the true power of the "Divine Flame Crystal", but this power was eroding his soul.

With the destruction of the Pope's body, the Pope far away in the Sky City was furious. He launched a general attack on the Starfall forces and began to use the lives of believers to fill the world with blood and killing at all costs.
