Me and countless me.

Chapter 501 The Powerful Nobles (4th Update, 4kbps)
Li Ke was no longer bothered to argue about who was more despicable, the accomplice or the mastermind, because he felt they both deserved to die. Edward, though not understanding what Li Ke wanted to do, subconsciously agreed.

He wouldn't, and wouldn't dare, engage in a direct battle with the army, since the people they led were a complete rabble. However, arresting some incompetent lackeys was no problem for him.

So Edward immediately led his men to capture these escaped lackeys and set up the gallows.

Li Ke, meanwhile, stared at the Western-style building in the middle and silently gripped the long knife in his hand.

His figure rushed in like lightning, startling everyone around him so much that they didn't even have time to shout before they saw him standing right in front of them.

Several guards raised their hands to try to stop Li Ke, but they were kicked away by Li Ke in one move, revealing a small child behind them.

However, Li Ke also saw countless illusions in this child!
He clearly saw that after learning about divinity, the child deliberately starved one of his servants to death in order to verify whether what he had learned was true. Moreover, this behavior did not draw criticism from his parents, but was instead seen as a performance and guidance.

He was instructed on how to properly obtain divinity from a dying person, and how to torture a person to the point that they could obtain divinity.

This child is beyond saving.

Looking at that seemingly innocent and naive face, Li Ke momentarily doubted whether there was something wrong with the new Holy Name ability he had obtained, so he stopped and looked at the child.

He pointed to the maids fleeing outside and asked the child.

Do you feel that these people's lives are as important as yours?

The child looked at Li Ke, then at the maids, and nodded hesitantly. This made Li Ke's expression even calmer, and then he asked again.

"Do you know how to extract divinity? I need some people to extract divinity for me."

Then, he saw the child visibly relax and nod at him.

"Of course, but if you want divinity..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Ke drew his hand axe without hesitation and slashed it across his mouth before he could react!

The axe easily smashed all his teeth, sliced ​​open the upper half of his head, and revealed a confused expression in his innocent eyes. His eyes were fixed on Li Ke, not understanding why Li Ke asked him for divinity, but then killed him!

However, the next moment, a painful scream came from upstairs.

"My child!!"

With this shrill scream, the boy, whose mouth had been cut open by Li Ke, ran upstairs holding his head, startling the servants who had served him into screaming. Li Ke then swung his longsword and slashed at the boy's head!
He didn't believe that this guy could still move normally even after being cut in half!
However, the next moment, a voluptuous 'girl' with a strong maternal aura, yet exceptionally youthful and beautiful, suddenly rushed out from the second floor.

The other person was not wearing formal attire, but rather hunting gear, and was carrying a longsword and a musket.

Above the musket and longsword, Li Ke also sensed magic. Moreover, the clothes the other person was wearing also bore traces of magic.

He quickly drew his gun and fired at the towering chest and beautiful face, wanting to shatter the heart beneath the peaks and the brain beneath the beautiful face.

But the instant he fired, two buttons on the beautiful woman's clothes disappeared, and two identical gunshots rang out in front of him!
The bullet he fired vanished instantly and moved in front of him, heading straight for his heart and brain.

There was no time to dodge. As the lead bullets spun towards them, countless water droplets quickly gathered around Li Ke and rushed towards the two lead bullets!
Not only that, countless water droplets also transformed into countless ice spikes that rushed towards the mother and child, instantly piercing the child's body and pinning him to the spot. However, some buttons and ribbons on the woman's clothes disappeared again. Li Ke's attack vanished into thin air once more and reappeared in front of him.

The lead bullet was shattered. Li Ke tried to manipulate the ice spikes that were reflected back, but he couldn't. He could only manipulate the water flow again to collide with the ice spikes!
Ice spikes shattered, and icy mist enveloped the area in front of the two people. At that moment, Li Ke could see clearly that the woman was chanting incantations while pointing her gun at him.

“Great Heavenly Father, with three faces, Triune Lord, grant me divine power… the feathers of a raven, the tail of a steed, and the oil of a salmon, three kinds of wisdom, three kinds of power…”

As the incantation was chanted, an eerie feeling made Li Ke instinctively uncomfortable, and the woman's hair began to slowly dance, giving him a strange feeling!

Before he could do anything, the woman pulled the trigger, but the bullet didn't hit Li Ke; instead, it struck the decorative armor on which he held a giant sword.

The armor began to expand the moment it was hit, and a deep light emanated from the gaps in the armor. It expanded from one meter to three meters in an instant, and even the greatsword in its hand expanded to five meters in length!

The armor moved almost instantly, its speed far exceeding what the human eye could estimate. However, seemingly because its attack range included the mother and child, it did not use its greatsword to attack, but instead threw a punch at Li Ke!

His fist glowed ominously. Li Ke quickly dodged, and the iron fist struck the spot where he had been standing with a heavy sonic boom. However, it did not knock anything away; it simply punched a hole just big enough to accommodate his fist.
However, a rusty feeling quickly emerged from the struck ground. Whether it was soil, wooden planks, or marble tiles, everything was corroded! Moreover, because Li Ke dodged, the armored knight finally had the opportunity to use his greatsword. He took a step forward and swung his arm, slashing the greatsword horizontally. Nothing could stop it, whether it was stone pillars or walls, as it charged towards Li Ke with unparalleled power!

Seeing this terrifying aura, Li Ke dodged with an aerial somersault and simultaneously fired three ice spikes!

The first ice spike shot towards the beautiful woman's head, but another button on her clothes disappeared, which had no effect other than making her snow-white, full breasts even more unrestrained and her hunting clothes even looser. Another ice spike appeared on her head.

The second ice spike struck the floor that had just been hit. The marble and soil, which showed signs of corrosion, collapsed into a large chunk after being touched by the ice spike, as if they had become as fragile as rusted steel.

Li Ke fired the third ice spike directly at the knight's hands and sword hilt!

But the ice spike didn't shatter directly; instead, it froze on his hand holding the greatsword, without showing any signs of rust!
So the next moment, Li Ke stepped forward suddenly, a layer of solid ice appearing on his hand, and punched the knight's sword-wielding hand directly.

The immense force instantly destroyed the knight's sword-wielding hand, and the greatsword slipped from his grasp.

In that instant, Li Ke's hand, encased in solid ice, grasped the five-meter-long greatsword. Using his strength, he delivered a vertical slash to the armor in mid-air!
The knight in armor dodged immediately and tried to block with his arm, but Li Ke's immense power wielded the giant sword, resulting in him instantly severing the knight's arm and smashing the armor into a pile of scrap metal!
Rust marks began to appear on the greatsword, and the beautiful woman showed a look of astonishment. But Li Ke landed without even catching his breath for a second. His eyes were flashing red as he charged towards the woman and swung his greatsword!
The moment the giant sword struck, the woman's hunting attire shattered, revealing her flawless white body, a captivating allure akin to the reappearance of Milotic.

But Li Ke couldn't see it; he only saw illusions.

He could clearly see through the illusion how many potions this woman had created for that beautiful body!
The girls wailing in the basement, those who took the drugs she concocted for the sake of youth, or perhaps to obey her, but who turned themselves into ingredients in her magic potion.

How much labor and health did the workers in those factories expend to make up for the work goals she casually mentioned, but in the end they still did not receive enough compensation.

The blood-soaked bathhouse in the basement, the regularly consumed flesh and blood of newborns, all for the sake of their children's future talents, so they endured the nausea of ​​eating other things raw...

Li Ke remained silent, but the giant sword in his hand burst into flames!

dead!
At this moment, Li Ke had no mood to let anyone judge the mother and child. The flames of revenge burned fiercely in his heart and on his weapon, so he did not hesitate to cleave the beautiful body in two with his sword. But even as her body was torn apart, the beautiful woman held her child tightly and finished chanting the incantation.

"...Let me and my living one be one, that he may be both father and son, both past and future, that I may be both past and future!"

The next moment, the flesh and blood of the mother and child merged together in a bizarre, repulsive, and disgusting way. The broken flesh and blood began to fuse together, bursting out a strange power that forced Li Ke to take a step back!
The flesh and blood merged and quickly transformed into something resembling a statue, becoming a flesh and blood statue with a large belly, resembling a mother and a wife, a husband and a child, a man and a woman, an adult and a woman!
He was extremely handsome and beautiful, with a halo of thorns on his head and six pairs of wings growing from his back, displaying twelve wings in front of Li Ke.

The statue looked like it was made of marble, but it could move. However, Li Ke still noticed something amiss: the mouth and waist still bore the marks left by his own slashes, and the body was burning with the flames he had accidentally ignited!

And just as he had expected, after the fusion was complete, the monster looked at its own body, at the flames that were constantly burning the divinity and magic within it, and let out a venomous cry.

"Ah... my body! My ritual! My ascension! I will kill you!"

Before Li Ke arrived, she had already merged her husband with herself by sacrificing several families. Next, as long as her child developed romantic feelings for her, she could perform the ritual again and complete the ascension of the three of them.

At that time, his body will be able to transform into any shape at will, and he will simultaneously possess the strength of a man, the mystery of a woman, and the growth potential of a child.

Although there will be the issue of the three people's consciousnesses being entangled and merged, this is not a problem, because they can split into separate entities. Apart from the shared consciousness and thoughts, there is no problem at all.

But now, because Li Ke split open her body, the power of the Leviathan Spear, the god of the tides she had purchased, invaded her body and severed her son's head! Fortunately, through this period of guidance, she had made her child fall in love with her, otherwise the ritual would not have been able to be completed.

Even though she had completed the ritual, she felt incredibly weak because the ritual had not been completely successful. She had not fully obtained the complete power of the three aspects as one, and the strange flames were constantly eroding the mystery and magic within her, making her feel that she was about to lose the power of the ritual and turn back into three people!
However, Li Ke was now completely serious.

He actively activated his true name and the contract, and the power of the oath transformed into his most authentic fighting strength at this moment. The sparks in his eyes seemed to float out and burn fiercely around him.

A violent, rebellious divine nature surged through Li Ke like a runaway beast, instantly alerting the marble statue. But Li Ke didn't care about it; he was concerned with something else entirely.

"There are such powerful individuals everywhere; it seems I need to become even stronger!"

Li Ke gripped his greatsword and charged toward the monster before him, shouting as he did so, and also performing his own 'ritual'!
"In the name of Li Ke, I will wage war! I will subdue all monsters like those before me, and annihilate all villains like those before me! And I will—"

Divinity rapidly formed new power within his body, and the flames finally found a true outlet, quickly enveloping his entire body under the horrified gaze of the statue.

"—Destroy all evil!"
