I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

"..."

Duanmu Lian watched the scene from the high platform, her expression indifferent and silent.

He recalled the countless times he had sacrificed himself, and the replicants like himself.

Initially, he was also a clone similar to Karula.

Back then, he had also witnessed the destruction of countless defective clones who looked exactly like him in Ayase Kozo's laboratory.

The righteous and awe-inspiring Sun God Cult, the tragic and pitiful Saintess of Time... Who is right and who is wrong?

There's no point in getting hung up on this one.

People live in this world according to their own will, but the differences between people cause separation due to misunderstandings.

From the moment the clone Karula was born, she was given the mission of contributing to the Sun God Cult.

It's fine if you don't have your own will, but for Karula, who already has self-awareness, it's a misfortune.

Duanmu Lian showed no sympathy or empathy for Karula.

In this world, or rather, in countless worlds, there are people who are born unfortunate; it is all a matter of timing and fate.

"Boom! B ...

Duanmu Lian raised her head and looked into the distance. A deafening thunderclap shattered the tranquility of the night and was rushing towards her with unstoppable force.

That moment seemed to freeze in time.

No, or rather, at that moment, because someone was moving too fast, it created the illusion that time had slowed down.

Faster than sound, a ferocious figure wreathed in golden lightning attacked the Sun God Cult base from hundreds of kilometers away in an instant.

The golden lightning bolt's target was—Kalulah!!!

It looks like he's going to kill the other person, but actually he's going to save them with his amazing speed.

But can it be saved?

Just as the hideous figure in the golden lightning was about to touch Karula, a hand suddenly appeared and forcefully stopped the hand reaching for Karula!

But is that possible?

With such incredible speed, is it really possible to catch something as swift as lightning?

“Bang—!”

Absolutely, easily!

After a strange sound, a huge hand, like an iron clamp, gripped the jet-black dragon claw that was flashing with lightning.

At this moment, Duanmu Lian appeared on the right side behind Carula.

With a calm expression, he used his hand to grab the dragon claw that Kamui, now in dragon form, was reaching for Karula!

"you!"

After transforming into a dragon, his entire body was pitch black, flashing with golden lightning, and his eyes were fierce and violent as he looked at Duanmu Lian, who had stopped him.

Several years later, the two who had fought once before met again.

Good evening, good night!!!

Unfazed by Shenwei's fierce gaze, Duanmu Lian responded with an even more ferocious smile, then grabbed Shenwei's arm and exerted force.

Enhanced Impact Level 6.6 Power — Qin Yueyang!

With intense concentration of physical strength, coupled with the terrifying Yang Flame Force, Duanmu Lian exerted force with her arm, and Shenwei's entire arm was actually blown to smithereens and reduced to ashes!

roar---!!!

Duanmu Lian's fiery power was a hundred times more terrifying than before. Even Shenwei, whose strength had increased by leaps and bounds, couldn't help but feel intense pain.

"Die!!!"

Pressing his advantage, he unleashed the Nine Yang Great Thunderbolt, originally a palm technique, with his fist!

The intent contained in Duanmu Lian's fist actually manifested as a blazing black sun.

This punch is aimed straight at the opponent's heart. The moment it touches the opponent's body, it will pierce through the body like butter and burn it to ashes!

But that day belongs to that day, and today belongs to today.

Compared to the Shenwei that Duanmu Lian remembered, the current Shenwei is a significant improvement.

Sizzle—!

With a thunderous roar, a golden bolt of lightning descended from the night sky, striking Shenwei directly in front of him and acting as a shield to block Duanmu Lian's fist.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a strangely shaped greatsword.

The Thunder Claw Universe Slash, a demonic sword of the Minion Clan plundered by Shenwei!

Boom!

Duanmu Lian's fist struck the Thunder Claw Universe Slash, and a straight, cylindrical shockwave of Yang Flame erupted like a dragon's breath.

The impact sent Shenwei, along with his demonic sword, flying dozens of kilometers away.

At this moment, a violent and deafening roar of thunder and fire spread out.

The Sun Saint, the Prison Saintess, and the Mechanical Saintess finally realized what was happening.

From the moment Duanmu Lian made her move until now, not even a second has passed, demonstrating just how fast the exchange has been.

Chapter 43 The Dragon God Descends, the Winged King Duanmu Lian?

Kamui's appearance did not surprise anyone present.

After all, the Sun God Cult had already discovered that Karula, number 19835, had a close relationship with the [Thunder Beast].

The execution of Karula didn't have to be done with such fanfare.

The reason for making such a show of force was to lure the Thunder Beast over.

In recent years, that beast has caused the Sun God Cult heavy losses.

The losses of personnel, supplies, bases, and facilities are unbelievable.

In order to stop the damage in time, the Sun God Cult must defeat the Thunder Beast.

"They've finally arrived."

The Sun Saint looked at Shenwei, who had been blasted away by Duanmu Lian, and then at Karula, whose face showed a complicated expression. He said in a low voice, "Number 19835, do you know what that beast did to the Church?"

"......"

Kneeling on the ground, Karula had no words to refute the words of the Sun Saint.

If disobeying the orders of the Divine Cult was a sin, then the relationship with the Thunder Beast was undoubtedly a betrayal!

But she couldn't think about that anymore; she just wanted to live, and she hoped that person could live too...

"Prison, use your power."

Duanmu Lian twisted her neck and loosened her muscles, then suddenly ordered the prison saintess to take action.

"Do you want me to cooperate? But the Thunder Beast is too fast, I..."

Upon hearing Duanmu Lian's voice, the Holy Maiden of the Prison, sitting in her cage, somewhat embarrassedly revealed her predicament.

Even if they didn't say anything, she and the mechanical saintess would still take action.

However, the Thunder Beast's mobility is too great; among the Dragon Slayers, only the immortal swordsman Lee Bailian can match it.

"No need, just use your cage to imprison Karula."

Before the prison saintess could finish speaking, Duanmu Lian pointed to Karula kneeling behind her and calmly instructed, "Since he came to rescue people, he wouldn't have escaped at his own speed if he hadn't succeeded."

Duanmu Lian's meaning is very simple: locking up Karura is equivalent to locking up Shenwei.

If they came to rescue people, would they leave if they failed?

If you can't contain one Thunder Beast, surely you can contain Karula?

The Maiden of Machines and the Maiden of Prisons immediately understood this. Then, the Maiden of Prisons immediately cast a spell, conjuring a prison and locking Karula inside.

next moment--

"Boom boom boom boom boom ————————!!!!!"

As thunder roared across the sky and the ground, streaks of golden lightning exploded dozens of kilometers away, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed toward Duanmu Lian at an unimaginable speed.

The demonic sword of the Minion Clan, wreathed in golden lightning, stretched and transformed in Shenwei's hands into a terrifying [Sword Tree] exceeding one hundred meters in length.

The sharp and menacing sword blade and tip, like countless wildly dancing golden snakes, thrust and slashed at Duanmu Lian from different angles.

"Thunder's speed of expansion and contraction...?"

Duanmu Lian murmured about the power of the demonic sword in the other's hand, and at the same time raised her hand and directly pinched the sharp tip of the demonic sword.

Then, the supernatural power, accompanied by the change in silver energy attribute, surged forth in a mighty torrent.

In the blink of an eye, the entire magic sword was stopped by the magic power within it, making it appear as if the magic sword had been frozen solid.

The surging power even reached Kamui's sword-wielding arm, freezing the magic within it and immobilizing him.

"!!!"

In a moment of shock, Duanmu Lian had already rushed in front of Shenwei in the blink of an eye.

Enhanced Impact Level 6.6 Power — Kotozuki In!

Boom—Crack!

A fierce punch landed on the opponent's abdomen, the immense force shattering Shenwei's frozen sword-wielding arm.

Then, as he was being punched and bent over, about to fly backward, Duanmu Lian slapped his face hard with her other hand in a claw shape.
