NOVEL NEXT Chapter186-The Terrifying Power of the Empress
A sense of despair began to spread…
Is this the final outcome?
"Did you really think… I am still helpless against your filthy race?"
A cold voice echoed from deep within the void, instantly freezing everyone's thoughts.
In the next moment,
The space seemed to part like a curtain.
A woman dressed in the starborn-patterned imperial robes, her beauty cold and peerless, slowly stepped out from within.
With each step she took, the oppressive aura surrounding her grew stronger, as if the laws of the entire universe were bowing to her.
The Empress of the Sacred Empire—Hathaway!
Feeling that familiar, soul-chilling pressure,
Zeth's legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
After countless years, facing Hathaway once again, Zeth had thought he would be able to remain calm.
But fear had already rooted itself deep in his bones.
"M-Master… what should we do?"
A void devourer expert approached Zeth nervously, his voice trembling.
Zeth froze for a moment before suddenly letting out a strange laugh.
His laughter grew louder and more maniacal, eventually turning into wild, insane cackling!
"Ha ha... Ah hahahahahahaha!!"
He laughed while waving his arms.
This bizarre scene left not only his kin stunned, but even the Sacred Empire and Dalton's allied forces frowned.
"What kind of special attack is this? Or is he just losing his mind?"
"Master? Please stop laughing…"
The devourer by his side was visibly nervous.
It wasn't until Hathaway's cold voice rang out again that the strange atmosphere was broken.
"Do you think you can escape judgment by pretending to be mad?"
Everyone suddenly understood, and they looked at Zeth with disdain.
Zeth's movements abruptly stopped.
"Ridiculous, do you really think you are invincible?"
In the next moment, his energy erupted, and a terrifying aura surged.
His figure instantly vanished from the spot, heading straight toward the Unknown Land!
"This is bad! Your Majesty! He's trying to escape to his lair!"
A God of War from the Empire cried out in alarm.
The allied forces immediately surged forward, trying to intercept him.
"Don't worry, he won't escape."
Hathaway's voice carried an absolute sense of control.
She slowly raised her right hand, and a golden divine light, imbued with the will of ultimate destruction, instantly coalesced.
Hathaway threw it with a flick of her wrist, sending it like a spear of judgment directly toward Zeth's fleeing direction!
"No! You damned creature, you can't kill me…!!"
"Sovereign! Save me!!!"
Boom—!
An explosion that shook the stars erupted!
A gigantic nebula rose at the boundary.
Countless spatial structures were completely torn apart, and even the dimensional barrier of the Unknown Land was split open, leaving a horrific crack!
"Ah—!!"
A chilling scream echoed.
Everyone turned to see that half of Zeth's body had already vanished.
The remaining portion was torn to shreds, like a ragged piece of cloth.
The sight left all witnesses gasping, their awe for the Empress reaching its peak.
So this is the power of the Sacred Empire's Empress?
Truly unfathomable!
Fortunately, this supreme being was on their side.
"Do you really think you can escape?"
Hathaway's tone was filled with mockery, like a frozen spike.
"Do you really think my will can be so easily insulted?"
Humm—
An even more terrifying aura erupted from her,
Crushing toward the area where Zeth was located like an invisible giant hand!
In the blink of an eye, that region of space was completely turned into a lifeless void!
Zeth once again tasted the despair that emanated from deep within his soul.
"You… if you dare to kill me, Sovereign will never let you go!!"
His face turned pale, and his voice trembled violently with fear.
Facing such a helpless threat, Hathaway smiled coldly.
"A mere defeated pawn, do you really think I will pay him any mind?"
Boom!
Another destructive meteor struck toward Zeth!
Watching the deadly attack coming, Zeth froze in place, unable to move a single muscle!
"No—!!"
Boom!
The explosion rang out again, but Hathaway's face darkened.
As the smoke cleared, a repulsive figure appeared, blocking the near-death Zeth.
"...Long time no see, still as arrogant and conceited as ever."
A hoarse, vengeful voice slowly emerged from the void.
The Sovereign of the void devourers—Annihilation Shadow Morse!
"Sovereign!"
Zeth, who had barely escaped death, cried tears of joy, as though he had seen his savior.
"What's this? Didn't the lesson from that battle teach you anything?"
Hathaway's voice was cold.
Her words sparked a fury in Morse's eyes, and he instantly turned furious!
The battle from years ago had seen the strongest members of his race join forces to fight Hathaway,
But even then, they had failed to gain anything from it.
"I… will never fall into the same pit twice!"
Hathaway laughed when she heard that.
The smile on her face was filled with undisguised contempt.
"Has your devouring abyss recovered yet?"
"I fear you don't have an invitation to have me sit down for tea…"
These words thoroughly enraged Morse, and both old and new grudges surged up in his heart!
"The humiliation of the past shall be washed away with your divine blood today!"
"Die!!"
Boom!
The space shattered like a mirror!
Morse, filled with raging hatred and the terrifying power of an Authority rank peak, charged toward Hathaway in a dark streak!
The shockwaves of the battle between these two supreme beings rippled through the void like a storm!
"Quick! Fall back!"
"Fall back, it's too terrifying!"
"This is the Empress's power?"
"The lady's power is truly terrifying! I even see the shadow of the president in her!"
Invincible and powerful!
The soldiers of the allied forces retreated in fear.
This level of combat, even just a sliver of residual energy from it, would be enough to obliterate them!
However, they didn't know that Hathaway and Morse's confrontation was still in the testing phase, nowhere near their full strength!
Just as everyone was drawn to the top-tier battle, a hateful, mocking laugh suddenly echoed from nearby.
"Heh heh… now no one can protect you."
There stood the wounded Zeth, who, using some secret method, had temporarily stabilized his injuries.
A cruel smile returned to his face, and he maliciously turned his gaze toward the allied forces.
This treacherous villain!
The expression of the strongest among the forces turned grim, as almost no one on this battlefield could stop this damned creature.
"Hey, picking on the weak, is that your style?"
At this moment,
A sharp voice suddenly rang out from deep within the void.
The next moment, a terrifying aura, not in the slightest inferior to Zeth's, enveloped him!
"Huh?!"
Zeth's face shifted slightly, and he looked toward the source of the voice with a serious expression.
"Who are you?"
The allied forces were filled with confusion.
This voice was unfamiliar, and they wondered whether the newcomer was friend or foe.
Humm—
A wave of deathly pressure swept toward them!
Everyone's hearts sank.
A spatial rift tore open.
A man in a black suit, with a cold and stern face, stepped out from within.
Upon seeing him, Zeth's expression grew even more serious.
While the allied forces were still in doubt, wondering who this person was,
Aragis, Reize, and others on the battlefield immediately had their pupils shrink.
They clearly recognized who this person was!
"Quasi-Authority rank?"
Zeth slowly spoke, identifying the newcomer's rank.
The man's voice was emotionless.
"Crushing you, this worm… will be enough."
"Heh, arrogant!"
