Chapter 550 A Sermon In The Battlefield
The attacks had become one!
A concept that Presiders had a hard time accepting. They were Conquerors, and they fought like one. They never expected that the Unlocked's power would manifest in combination!
They thought that individual attacks would be the attacks they faced, but the Unlocked's ace was rather simple. It was the power to arrange them to make a formation attack.
One Myrth could not defend the attack. So the combat body they formed was divided into two. And this was its disadvantage.
Nogard's soul power connected everyone for a split second, and all paths were united as it had one soul now.
From the Overcomer's attacks to the gunshots and feral slashes of those around them, these all contributed and became one in the power of Unity.
The crushing attack with all the paths destroyed the hellfire defenses of the male Myrth. By the time the female managed to redirect her beam, it was already too late.
BOOM!
The collapsing fire imploded out one final time, and the Combat Body of Myrth was broken.
Two bodies were thrown back.
Right after the attack reached, the combined power of the unlock disappeared.
Everyone fell down and was greatly exhausted.
Several ships from the WGP had arrived, and it was time to retrieve everyone.
The two Myrths were lying, glancing at the skies. They saw that the battle between Eagle and the Tyrant Empress reached the sky.
"You know, it would have been vastly easier if Eagle were here." The Realm King chuckled as he walked by.
His entire appearance had many wounds all over.
Nogard approached with his Supreme Exoskeleton that had many damages.
"He would use his power and say, 'and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.'" Nogard repeated the verse.
And together, as living stones crafted for the church, we, small pebbles, stones, and boulders, resisted the attack and overcame. This proves it. We can wage war and defeat Presiders and even Principals with this." The Realm King puffed his chest and rejoiced.
"Proof of our overcoming... Even David wouldn't have the guts to fight Goliath. He only fought him because God gave him previous battles. He fought the lion and killed the bear."
"Oh? I haven't read that part. So he already killed bears and lions with his slingshot?" Amir arrived. He was the first one to recover.
"No. David killed the bear and lion up close. Grabbing their beards, he claimed." Nogard chuckled.
"Then I guess you could say that we've grabbed the beard of these lions. And now, the giant ones are next." Greydon approached.
"You guys... win. Was this... the path all along?" The female Myrth asked.
"Oh? Even in death, you still desire that which Conquerors desire." The Realm King was curious.
"Well... We knew there was a curse... but... we somehow wanted to be conquerors of our own will... We wanted to be... great..." The male smiled.
"It was a fun match. But... you were not real Conquerors." The Realm King sighed.
The two Myrths trembled when they heard this.
"You guys... are jerks... you know that...?" The male cursed.
"I'm sorry. But your choice of fusing two as one isn't the path. It would have worked if you walked our path. But you sought solace and unity together. It's strong, but it's not that strong. Had you picked to either be a Conqueror or an Overcomer, you would have won. But I guess your siblings loved each other so much that you couldn't conquer your emotions. This is how you lost."
"You...! You don't know our world, earthling. We had no choice! My brother and I... We...!"
"He's dead." The Realm King turned and saw the Male Myrth no longer moving.
"..." The female turned to the side and saw her dead brother, and tears fell down.
"Damn you... You said... we would die... together! How dare you... go..." Myrth wept.
"Thank you for the wonderful fight. We cannot say we've overcome a conqueror yet. But you were an important enemy. Because of you, our confidence and resolve have increased. We Overcomers were confident to face anything man could create. But you and the rest of the presiders are not men but beings like gods. Now, we are confident in facing the gods. Rest now. Your brother must be pissed that he messed up. Go to him, and slap him." The Realm King chuckled as he turned around.
"...Yeah..." The female Myrth smiled as her last tear fell.
The WGP Emperors began to scramble at the collapsing remains of Myrth's fortress. It was no longer flying but had crashed on the ground as it lost all capabilities of flight. The towering megalith stood and watched over the lands of Egypt. The Babel fortress of Andronze had collapsed. And while the fortress of Myrth stood firmly within the ground, it was already incapable of launching attacks as the wolf plague had obliterated and killed all inside.
"Two battles remain." Nogard walked towards the edge of the Myrth's ruined fortress to view the battle.
The main battle occurred at the bottom as the swarms of locusts, soldiers, and many of the remaining soldiers of Andornze continued to fight. Many were drawn into the powers of the Tyrant Empress.
The lust of many caused them to serve.
The Nile Serpent has called those lucky enough not to see the Empress.
With Andronze dead, the Nile Serpent was calling the survivors to flee and stop entering the fight. However, because of the battles between numerous Presiders, only a small number of the forces of Andronze remained.
Some became part of the Tyrant Empress's army, others fled, and others joined the Nile Serpent.
But a surprising number of pioneers served Eagle!
The terrifying power of trust was surfacing.
Throughout the battle, a strange sound was affecting everyone. It was a sermon! A sermon that Eagle continued to perform as he battled!
The words of Eagle were making sense. His explanations, his means of pointing out the truth of their shallow servitude to a false queen, were slowly affecting them! And with it, many hesitated and began to flee!
The rage of the Tyrant Empress exploded as her beauty was being defeated. The power of several Paths continued to clash with the Paths of the rest. But meteors, chunks of massive metal hurling down at unstoppable speed, continued to fall from the heavens and clashed with the many powers.
BOOM!
A massive explosion struck, and the pressure was too much for Akahs Zulu. With the impact and force, he had to defend against, his power that controlled the dead bodies and lingering souls of the dead had vanished, and many exoskeletons had fallen as they had no control.
"My queen... His power... is too strong for my curses!" Akahs exclaimed.
The strange power of Eagle's sermon continued.
"The power of God will resolve even the hand of Legion! A thousand demons cannot stop us! Overcomers fight on! See how the word of God is fulfilled today! For it is written in Isiah 19! In that day the Egyptians will be like women, and tremble with fear before the hand that the Lord of hosts shakes over them. Is this not what the people of these lands perceived? And see how the altar they called the Babel was established, only to be quickly destroyed? Who would believe such claims? And now, another altar is placed. An altar that was purged by the very fires of God! This fulfills another verse!" Eagle's voice continued to be broadcasted.
"For it is written in Isaiah 19:19! In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border. It will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to the Lord because of oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and deliver them! This is yet another fulfillment! The grammar of that verse was not an accident! Who can an alter be in the 'midst of the land of Egypt,' while be a pillar to the Lord at its border'? And yet, Giza, when translated to its origin, the irregular Arameo-Arabic root, means edge! And here this megalith stand!" Eagle's words erupted.
At that point, the convincing prophecy added to the many odd and questionable truths that Eagle spoke. But his voice was granting clarity to many!
"Be free from Egypt! Take off your chains! That woman does not love you or care for you! A thousand have died for her cause, and these thousand are forgotten! You are of no value to her!" Eagle charged.
BOOM!
The Tyrant Empress once more set another powerful attack at Eagle.
But then, she felt an unprecedented crisis befell her. As she turned back, Octarion Ceasar, who had long served her, made a powerful punch towards her!
