Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 1044 Battle Against the Incarnation of the Goddess of Wisdom (4K, Requesting Monthly Tickets~)

The goddess of wisdom, Merylkel, looked at Gao Yang, her gentle yet powerful voice ringing out:
"This Lord of Calamity, I am the Goddess of Wisdom, Melikael. The God of the Myriad Golden Gears has joined my pantheon of wisdom. This matter has caused no real loss to either you or Him. Let's stop here."

Gnu Tike stood behind the goddess of wisdom, and only then did He finally have a chance to catch His breath.

He looked at Gao Yang, his eyes filled with a sense of relief and undisguised pride.

Gao Yang lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

This goddess of great divine power is indeed extraordinary; she has only just arrived here, yet she already knows his title.

The other party was not aggressive. In fact, with the strength of a mid-level divine avatar, it would be easy for them to destroy all life in the entire plane. However, they tried to resolve the conflict by persuading the other party.

But is this really the case?

If the goddess of wisdom had not descended, he would have been able to slay this weak deity and obtain His divine essence, divine sparks, attribute fragments, and life essence crystals.

For him, this level of gain was already a substantial loss.

But in the mouth of this goddess of wisdom, it became a loss that had no real substance.

This alone demonstrates that the other party's stance is not one of reconciliation, but rather a simple act of protecting their own, relying solely on the overwhelming power they wield.

What appears to be a benevolent approach is, in reality, still rooted in unparalleled tyranny.

An incarnation of a deity with moderate divine power descending into this plane already belongs to the top-tier combat force, and is probably inferior even to the original deity with weak divine power.

If it were an ordinary legend, being persuaded by the goddess of wisdom in such a gentle voice might have yielded due to her immense power, but this did not include Gao Yang.

Sometimes, taking a step back doesn't lead to a brighter future, but rather to the other party taking advantage of you. This is a principle that Gao Yang has known since childhood.

Seeing that Gao Yang had not expressed his opinion, Meryl was not in a hurry and just quietly watched him.

A few seconds later, Gao Yang raised his head and looked at the goddess of wisdom who was blocking Gnu Tik's way, and said, "Ms. Merylkel, what do you think I would gain if I killed Gnu Tik?"

The goddess of wisdom looked at Gao Yang, and with her wisdom, she naturally understood the meaning behind his words. She said directly, "A complete divine spark, an opportunity to become a god."

However, I believe that the Lord of the Calamity Sword would disdain using this method to become a god.

Gao Yang lowered his gaze to the tip of Yongyao's sword and slowly said:

"That statement is correct, but whether or not I use this divine spark to become a god is my choice, and now Ms. Merylcare's actions have deprived me of that opportunity."

Does Ms. Meryl still believe that your actions have caused me no loss?

Upon hearing this, the goddess of wisdom smiled slightly.
“If I had not come, everything would have continued as it was destined to happen.”

But now that I have arrived, everything must unfold according to my will. What does the Lord of Calamity Sword think?

Her words remained intellectual and gentle, but the confidence and determination she exuded were incredibly powerful.

As a powerful deity, the goddess of wisdom, Meryl, had every right to make such a declaration.

Gao Yang indifferently raised his sword, pointing it at the goddess of wisdom opposite him and Gnu Tik behind her, and a blood-stained sword cry soared into the sky.

Gnu Tike stared at Gao Yang in astonishment, his eyes wide. He had never imagined that this mortal would dare to wield his sword against a powerful deity. How dare he! How could he possibly dare!

Golden-blue light shone from Gao Yang's pupils. His "Freedom of the Ultimate" and "Freedom of My Heart" were activated to their fullest extent in an instant. This was a god of intermediate divine power at his peak. He had never faced an existence of this level alone before.

"Since Ms. Merylkel thinks so, then let's give it a try and see if the future will unfold according to your will, or if it will continue to develop along the predetermined path."

A crimson sword aura rushed towards them, stirring the hem of the goddess of wisdom's long dress. She looked at Gao Yang before her, smiled, and said, "An interesting mortal."

The moment His voice fell, Gao Yang had already stepped forward. The next second, he appeared in front of Him, and the Eternal Radiance in his hand, carrying an unparalleled domineering killing intent, slashed down fiercely!
"What an interesting mortal thing."

The sword energy rushed towards them, but the Goddess of Wisdom showed no sign of panic. As she made her assessment, she slightly clenched her right hand, and a bright white light quickly gathered, manifesting a scepter almost as tall as herself.

Meanwhile, in a distant and unknowable divine realm, shrouded in endless divine radiance, a pure white scepter about ten meters tall emitted a soft sound. Then, with the permission of a grand will, it instantly shattered the divine realm, traversed endless distances, and descended upon the center of the continent of Salisbury.

That was the manifestation of the will of the Wisdom Scepter of the Goddess of Wisdom, which descended into the scepter formed in the hand of the Goddess of Wisdom's incarnation.

The moment the will of the scepter descended, the scepter, originally formed from magic, radiated endless, shimmering white light. What was once an ordinary creation was now sacred and inviolable.

clang!
The sword and scepter collided, and a terrifying impact exploded from the point of impact, causing countless spatial cracks to erupt in the surrounding space, stretching all the way to the horizon.

The goddess of wisdom slightly lowered her arm and glanced at Gao Yang with a hint of surprise. She had not expected that the attack from this mortal who dared to swing his sword at her would be so heavy and so fierce.

Furthermore, this sword also contains power originating from the same source as them, as well as a destructive power that is extremely targeted at them.

The goddess of wisdom's eyes shone brightly as her gaze fell upon the greatsword that had struck the scepter of wisdom.

With just one glance, He understood everything.

"I never imagined that a mortal could control a god, and that a true god would willingly be controlled and driven by a mortal."

The goddess of wisdom slowly waved her scepter, and a surge of divine power erupted. Amidst the flying sparks, Yongyao was swept away by the scepter, and Gaoyang returned to his original position.

"Having mastered a true god as your natal weapon and possessing the power to slay gods, you, Lord of Calamity Sword, truly possess the power to kill gods."

The goddess of wisdom, wielding her scepter, slammed it heavily on the ground, her divine power surging and crashing into Gao Yang's body. She remained calm, looking at Gao Yang and asking:

"But that's all. Are you sure you want to continue, mortal?"

Gao Yang did not answer, but responded to His question with his actions.

A powerful wind pressure, carrying with it a twisted and collapsing space, rushed towards them. The moment the wise goddess's divine voice fell, Gao Yang had already torn through space, and Yongyao unleashed another furious strike.

The Goddess of Wisdom sighed, gripping her scepter tightly. Her previously peaceful gaze instantly transformed into one of fierce aggression. Facing Yongyao's furious strike, she swung her scepter of wisdom fiercely, clashing with Yongyao in an instant.

clang!
When Yongyao and the scepter collided, the entire world trembled. A visible spatial fluctuation spread outwards from their location, causing the earth to undulate like waves. The buildings in the City of Paradise below them began to collapse rapidly in the aftershocks.

The goddess of wisdom braced herself against the scepter with one hand, and divine power surged from her body. Then, she clenched her free right hand into a fist, her fair, jade-like fingers gripping tightly, and slammed it down towards Gao Yang's head.

Boom!
Gao Yang clenched his left fist and threw a punch as well. The two fists collided, producing a muffled boom.

Through the materialized power ripples, Gao Yang met the gaze of the Goddess of Wisdom. After these two encounters, he was certain that, setting aside the quality of divine power and the authority bestowed by divine office, in terms of pure attributes, he was now no less powerful than the incarnation of the Goddess of Wisdom before him.

The fundamental reason why gods are gods is that they represent the rules governing the universe, which are manifested as divine power and authority. Their extremely high level of divine power allows them to easily crush most mortals who have never come into contact with divine power.

He already knew in his heart that if the powerful goddess of wisdom were to descend in her true form, he would be no match for her immense divine power.

However, it is currently just an avatar. Although it possesses the combat power of a mid-level deity, it does not yet possess the most fundamental and powerful divine power.

Or rather, only a portion of its power.

A blinding golden light shone from Gao Yang's pupils. His left arm trembled slightly, and then he exerted force again. A tremendous power surged from his body into his arm, and then slammed into the opposing fist with unstoppable force.

This punch was clearly delivered in a state of super armor.

The goddess of wisdom raised her right hand high, and in that instant, Gao Yang took a step forward, his right arm holding the sword suddenly exerting force.

yah~
Amidst the flying sparks, the greatsword slashed through the scepter, and the same powerful strike sent the goddess of wisdom and her scepter flying.

With a single sword strike, Gao Yang repelled the Goddess of Wisdom. His battle aura roared, and he stepped forward again, swinging his sword once more.

The goddess of wisdom looked surprised. She was shocked to find that the mortal's attack was so heavy and so unstoppable that even if she used her divine power, she could not dispel that unstoppable will.

clang!
The silver greatsword slashed furiously, only to be blocked once more by the Scepter of Wisdom, but then the goddess of wisdom continued to fly backward.

Gao Yang continued to step forward and swing his sword.

clang clang clang.
With seven consecutive sword strikes, each one heavier than the last, Gao Yang's aura surged to its limit with each relentless forward slash.

The goddess of wisdom looked at Gao Yang, who seemed like a volcano about to erupt, and with a flick of her scepter, amidst a thunderous roar of immense divine power, the scepter suddenly disappeared from Gao Yang's sight, shattering everything, and then thrusting towards Gao Yang's head.

This attack was slightly faster than Gao Yang's impending strike, and it was this slight difference that caused Gao Yang immense discomfort.

Because his sword strike, a culmination of his accumulated will and swordsmanship, was abruptly severed by this unexpected attack.

At this stage, he was unwilling to directly confront the goddess of wisdom's attack. Although her divine power was not as great as that of a powerful god, it still possessed some might. If his indestructible self-healing effect were suppressed by her divine power, even for a moment, it would be enough to determine the outcome of the battle.

With a flash of sword light, Gao Yang appeared dozens of meters away, and his scepter, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, shattered the afterimage's head.

"The response is quite good."

The goddess of wisdom gave a word of approval, then stomped on the space beneath her feet and vanished from the spot.

clang!
The Scepter of Wisdom slammed down with all its might, but Gao Yang blocked it with Eternal Radiance. The violent power erupted like a torrent, and even though Eternal Radiance blocked it, it continued to smash down with undiminished momentum. Under the excited gaze of Gnu Tick, Gao Yang and his sword were smashed into the densely built city below.

Boom~
Gao Yang plummeted into the earth like a meteor, instantly shattering the land within a radius of a hundred miles. In the deep, bottomless ravines, Gao Yang stood in the center of the pit, looking up at the goddess of wisdom swooping down from the sky.

The opponent's power was somewhat beyond his imagination, and with the amplification of divine power, the opponent's attack also carried a certain amount of rule-based power.

'Man-made disaster, a decaying force.'

Seeing the goddess of wisdom swooping down, Gao Yang slashed out with his sword.

Immediately afterwards, his body reappeared beside the goddess of wisdom, and in the eternal radiance, dazzling lightning and battle aura burst forth.

The goddess of wisdom was surrounded by countless sword energies. She waved her scepter, and wherever she passed, the sword energies were quickly smoothed out, as if they had never appeared at all.

In that instant, Yongyao tore through space and slashed down. As Yongyao slashed down, a pitch-black sword mark suddenly appeared deep in the sky of this world. As soon as the sword mark appeared, it grew at a speed that could be described as teleportation, connecting with Yongyao and continuing to spread down to the earth below as Yongyao slashed down.

As Yongyao slashed down, the space emitted a series of cracking sounds, as if the entire world was about to be cleaved apart by this sword.

'Man-made disaster, a creation of heaven!'

A dazzling golden light shot out from Gao Yang's eyes, and the already powerful Yongyao was further enhanced, as the pitch-black sword mark slashed down at the Goddess of Wisdom.

The goddess of wisdom frowned, flipped her wrist, and slammed her scepter into the dark sword mark that had been slashing towards her.

Boom~~
With a deafening roar, the already ravaged battlefield was further ravaged, with fragments of space the size of sugar cubes flying everywhere. Then, a figure enveloped in divine light shot out from within them.

The goddess of wisdom knelt on one knee and slid backwards for thousands of meters in the air. Only when the tip of her scepter of wisdom forcefully pierced into space did she barely stop her backward momentum.

Call ~
The moment He stopped, the sword pressure came rushing in, the sharp sword energy heading straight for His head. He let out a low roar, and the divine power around His body exploded. He held the Scepter of Wisdom in both hands and inserted it into the space in front of Him.

Boom~~
Within a radius of a thousand meters, jagged, pure white spikes, each tens of meters long, pierced out. Yongyao severed several spikes, and Gaoyang stood atop one of the broken spikes.

"burst!"

The goddess of wisdom gave a low shout, and the spikes within a kilometer-long space exploded simultaneously.

Gao Yang stomped down hard, his materialized will and power combining to compress the space beneath his feet into something even more solid than an iron plate, thus blocking the explosion caused by the divine spikes.

Using the recoil force, Gao Yang disappeared again.

In the next instant, he appeared before the goddess of wisdom, and Yongyao slashed down with unparalleled momentum.
