The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　In just a moment, the Ash Hunter broke through the defense of the Tarek warriors and came to Ikason.

　At this moment, the light ring in Ikason's pupils also lit up, and he roared and started—

　"boom----"

　Accompanied by a howling gale, he flew out suddenly, and the wind and waves collided with the Ash Hunter, forming a vortex.

　And behind the wind is the knife——

　“Ding ding ding ding ding——”

　Within Ikason's subjective perception of time, he slashed 412 times in succession, each of which hit the sword and round shield of the Ash Hunter.

　This sudden and violent attack caught the Ash Hunter off guard. He retreated repeatedly, and blue light quickly accumulated on his round shield.

　"call----"

　After a round of attack, Ikason suddenly stepped back, put away his knife, took a breath, and raised his pupils.

　Before the Ash Hunter could react again, he suddenly drew his sword and whistled out -

　"boom!!!"

　"clang"

　The blade, wrapped in wind blades, slammed into the Ash Hunter's shield—he raised the shield, and the kinetic energy absorbed by the shield was completely converted into fusion energy, and blue light exploded—

　"boom!!!!"

　The annihilation explosion instantly tore the floor apart. Ikason only felt himself falling in a beam of light, with the factor shield on his body burning wildly.

　He fell several floors before finally landing on a solid floor. Almost at the same time, the blue light dissipated, and the Ash Hunter came slashing at him with a light blade -

　"clang--"

　Ikason raised his hand to block, and slid the knife along with it. Sparks burst out with a "sizzle", and the blade swept across the abdomen of the Ash Hunter like a dragon.

　"Sizzle!"

　Red sparks exploded in the Ash Hunter's abdomen. He stumbled back a few steps, his abdominal armor torn apart, leaving a burning wound.

　Ikason swung his sword, red thunder rolled, and light circles flashed in his pupils.

　He saw the Ash Hunter stand up, the wound on his abdomen gradually stopped burning, and then healed bit by bit.

　Immortal blessing... As expected, it is God's favor.

　"Even the fires of hell have never burned my soul," a dull voice came from behind the Ash Hunter's mask. "Halfergaard, what makes you so confident?"

　Ikason didn't say anything. He gently turned the sword, with the blade facing forward, and took a stance.

　Just as he was about to hold his breath and attack again, suddenly, thunder was heard in the distant sky:

　"Boom!"

　Ikason turned his head and saw a huge shadow roaring past the sky above the central building, with the engine below spewing out brilliant main fusion blue flames.

　"The Mourning Psalm has arrived," the Ash Hunter whispered, "You will be wiped out!"

　Mourning Psalm - Bridge

　Odin Sharma sat on a coffin-shaped aerostat, overlooking the central hub below.

　He saw the Free Alliance's fleet - the other Moksada had obviously failed to receive the prophecy and was now at an absolute disadvantage.

　"An undoubted victory," Odin Sharma said, opening his arms, "and... the beginning of a brand new poem..."

　He turned around and saw Perlis standing beside him, looking down with him.

　"Miss Pure White Fireworks, do you know what caused this rebellion?"

　Perlis did not respond to him, but just stared ahead silently.

　Odin's mouth curled up slightly, and then he said softly:

　"It's the overgrowth of the population! Look at the scale of this battle. The Great Drift War wiped out vast swathes of the population, especially the men who could serve as soldiers. And now, in just a few short years, we're once again slaughtering each other in a war of this magnitude, staining our blades with blood."

　"Before I became the leader, the Copper Fork Faction controlled this giant ship. They firmly believed that we were a refuge in this crazy universe, and that God and prophecy would lead us to a new world..."

　"So, they're frantically accepting refugees. No matter where they come from—the scattered Tarek tribe, the small population persecuted by the Star-Scorning people—as long as they encounter a starship, they have the right to board!"

　"Look at those massive cities on the upper deck. Haidu is just one of them. Eight megacities stand on our isolated island! The entire ship has expanded to billions of people in just a hundred years, surpassing even the average Earth-like planet!"

　"The Copper Fork sect believes that an overpopulation will bring diverse technology, culture, and customs. However, in my opinion, those invaders only increase our burden. Look at the refugees in the engine area, look at those children mutated in the secondary fusion. Where does their suffering come from? Is it from us?"

　"The population must be reduced until there is no more strife."

　After Odin finished speaking, he waved his cane, and a man who looked like an adjutant pulled a lever.

　Perlis heard the sound of charging coming from below - the blue light of the main fusion was converging, and a huge ball of lightning appeared right in front of the bridge glass.

　"Wow... Such violent energy..." Carly's voice rang in Perlis's ears, "Little White Flower, pay attention."

　"Yeah." Perlis nodded slightly.

　"The Central Hub connects all the major cities, including the Engine District below... In fact, it's located directly above the Engine District!" Odin Sharma continued to explain his grand plan. "When it completely collapses and collapses... the Engine District will experience a chain reaction."

　"I think that reducing the number of secondary engines would effectively slow us down and effectively... kill some people who shouldn't be alive."

　"Let's fire." Odin nodded to his adjutant.

　The adjutant pulled the lever again, and the next second, a dark blue fusion ball of lightning shot out straight ahead.

　"boom"

　When ball lightning passed over the city and approached the taller buildings, a thick lightning snake would separate from the ball lightning itself and suddenly cut the building in half.

　Ikason only felt a violent shaking under his feet, and a huge roar accompanied by lightning suddenly struck down, making him a little dizzy.

　The Ash Hunter had anticipated the ball lightning attack and raised his shield to block the lightning that was coming down on his head.

　The upper part of the entire central building was struck by lightning and disappeared, turning into a rain of gravel, smashing onto the city streets and the people running on the streets.

　Taking advantage of Ikason not being able to recover from the lightning strike, the Ash Hunter suddenly leaped forward and slashed at his head.

　"clang----"

　Before Ikason could block, a light axe blocked his way.

　The King of Warriors.

　There was a huge bloodstain on his body, but his pupils were still burning and anger was gushing out.

　"Grisha!!" the King of Warriors roared. "Look at what your master is doing! He's destroying the entire Nexus! He's destroying the entire lower deck!"

　“And the weak will die after this.” The Ash Hunter whispered.

　He exerted force, and the Warrior King flew backwards again. Before the leader could regain his balance, the Ash Hunter lunged forward, his blade raised—

　"bass----"

　"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

　When Ikason came to his senses, he heard screams.

　He turned around and saw that the former Warrior King had lost an arm and was lying in the corner wailing.

　The Ash Hunter stood beside him, a round shield in one hand and a shining blade in the other.

　He turned around and his eyes met Ikason, with blue lightning lingering around him.

Chapter 721 Gravity (Part 7) -3k-

　The moment the fusion ball lightning appeared, the entire sky was dyed a strange dark blue.

　A huge ball of lightning streaked across the Hub City, tearing apart all of Odin Sharma's airship forces along the way, and then began to tear apart the Free Alliance's shuttles.

　On the bridge of the main ship, Nynaeve looked at the huge ball of lightning in disbelief and shouted:

　"Is he crazy? Not only us, but no one in his army would survive! That's a primary fusion ball lightning! The entire hub will be destroyed! Along with the transportation tunnels and energy supply connecting the eight megacities! If he does this..."

　At this point, Nani suddenly froze.

　Raja sighed lightly and said:

　"This is what Odin Sharma wants to do. He wants to trap everyone, including the allies on the upper deck..."

　"Is he mad..." Nynaeve muttered. "If the Hub is destroyed... and the structure it sits on sinks, then the Engines will..."

　Nynaeve suddenly stood up, turned and walked towards the hatch:

　"Ikason and the others are trapped by the Ash Hunters. There's no time to access the terminal. I'm the only one who can crack the terminal! I have to go!"

　She had only taken two steps when her shoulder was grabbed.

　She turned her head and met Raja's hesitant eyes.

　"Nynaeve, it's no use. Odin has lit a fire on the grassland. The fire has spread all over the place, and no one can put it out."

　"But we can take him down!" Nynaeve yelled. "If we can take down the air defenses! We can take him down with us!"

　"This is meaningless!" Raja's voice rose several degrees. "If you die, what will happen to the soldiers of the Freedom Alliance?"

　"Is it really the warriors who need me?" Nynaeve raised her head and glared at Raja like an angry little tiger. "Or is it you who need me?"

　For a moment, everything became quiet, and the series of explosions caused by lightning streaking across the sky seemed to come from a very far distance.

　Raja avoided Naini's gaze and whispered:

　"We retreat. If the engine area is going to collapse because of this, we need to get there as soon as possible and save as many people as we can."

　"Answer my question!" Nynaeve yelled. "You've been acting strangely since the Great Drift War. You haven't come to see me, and you won't let me go to the front. If you really don't have any other options, are you going to keep me behind the front lines and confine me to the workshop again?"

　"There's no time! Nani!" Raja's hands were shaking. "Start returning immediately!"

　Nani glared at Raja fiercely, then returned to her seat and began to give orders:

　"Adjust gravity shield to 200%, prepare to retreat."

　"All ships! Prepare to retreat!" Raja shouted.

　Ball lightning streaked across the sky, turning all the air units along the way into broken arc residues, like a multi-tongued frog, catching every flying insect nearby with arcs.

　As it tore through more and more air units, the ball lightning grew larger and larger, and finally split into two.

　The second ball of lightning fell towards the ground and directly hit the outline of the Hub City—

　"boom!!!"

　Amid the sound of electric arc explosion, Ikason once again blocked the Ash Hunter's light blade and retreated dozens of steps.

　The Ash Hunter stood by the broken floor-to-ceiling glass window, with arcs of electricity behind him weaving through the city like giant snakes.

　Dark blue arcs of fire wrapped around his body, making him look like an angry statue that was invincible.

　"See, this is the true wilderness," the Ash Hunter whispered. "Civilization has been torn apart, the savage world has returned, and beasts roam the world once again."

　Ikason felt his wrist trembling. Even for him, after so many battles with the Ash Hunters, his body was gradually unable to withstand the exaggerated intensity of the battle.

　The appearance of the blue arc seemed to enhance his strength. The fusion energy from the interstellar ship Tamara-Toss filled his body to its highest state, and his combat power was now overwhelming.

　"Halfgard, are you ready to be my dinner?" The Ash Hunter raised his sword.

　"You know, ever since you started talking so much, your aura has become much weaker..." Ikason whispered, "A good warrior should talk less."

　He took a deep breath, and the flow of his mind calmed his mind, turning it into a long straight line.

　He sheathed his katana, picturing his master in his mind—one move, one movement, one breath.

　This will be his strongest attack.

　"Humph..."

　The Ash Hunter sneered. The sudden surge of manic energy that injected into his body seemed to make his mental state unstable as well. He held his sword in hand and walked towards Ikason step by step.

　At some point, Ikason opened his eyes and his breathing stopped.

　A halo of light appeared in his eyes, accompanied by a howling wind—

　"call----"

　The Ash Hunter's slow pace suddenly changed at one step. He stepped on the stone bricks of the floor and his body crashed into the wind in front of him like a rock falling from a mountain, crashing into Ikason.

　"clang----"

　"boom!!!"

　The light blade and the sword collided with each other, causing a violent gust of wind to burst out, and once again caused the floor to collapse.
