The Warrior of Love

The King of the End laughed when he heard this: "Because the protection on me is not the "Great Law of the Covenant". In other words, the so-called "Great Law of the Covenant" is originally an imitation of the "Protection of the Gods" that I have received. I am the prototype of this ritual.

Naturally, both the effects and limitations are different.

Other Heroes of Steel need to fight multiple God Slayers to trigger the Divine Protection, but for me...

As long as there are multiple godslayers in this world, I will receive powerful blessings no matter where they are.

Furthermore, the more God Slayers there are, the higher my strength will be!"

This is cheating, right?

Jiang Liu himself also has many protections on him, so he doesn't seem to have the right to criticize the other party, but this kind of protection that directly doubles the strength and has almost no restrictions... is indeed so unreasonable that it makes people speechless.

"Indeed, this is not a fair duel." The Last King glanced at Athena in the distance, "So, you don't have to insist on fighting me one-on-one. It would be fine if you let the goddess join in."

"No, there is no fairness or unfairness in fighting. There is only the simplest difference between the strong and the weak."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly, pulled out another sharp blade from the dark void, held the Immortal Slash and the Flaming Demon Sword in each hand, and at the same time accelerated the circulation of the spell power in his body.

"In fact, the more this happens, the more excited I am!"

The dazzling thunder submerged Jiang Liu's figure. He once again activated the "Galloping Wind and Thunder" and his body entered a world of rapid speed.

"Come to think of it, this power comes from your followers."

The slashing blow surrounded by electric light was much faster than the speed of sound. After the double swords and the platinum divine sword collided dozens of times in succession, Jiang Liu's words finally fell.

The Last King's eyes dimmed for a moment, but his movements did not leave any flaws for Jiang Liu. The wide sword swept across, and the mighty sword energy forcibly blocked the airspace, forcing Jiang Liu to exit the super speed state and swing the sword with all his strength to block the attack.

“It’s still rising!”

Jiang Liu had a stern expression. It was already very strenuous for him to withstand the attack from the Last King. If this brave man were allowed to land on the ground, his strength would probably increase again.

It should be noted that, based on the information sent by Athena and Princess Ruriko, the Last King is able to bring out the characteristics of the Steel Hero to the extreme.

Ordinary "steel" can be tempered by the essence of the earth, but the Last King is even more efficient - he can absorb the essence continuously as long as he stands on the ground!

Sounds similar to Jiang Liu's Earth Messenger?

Do not!

Although the descriptions are similar, they are completely different things.

The Earth Messenger simply integrates itself into the vital energy cycle of the earth veins, so it can continuously replenish the loss, but it itself is also part of the cycle and will not disrupt the balance of the earth veins.

But the last king is different, he is a complete "plunderer"!

The earth spirit is like coal or fuel to him, a consumable that will not be restored.

If he stays on the ground for a long enough time, his strength will certainly rise to the point where he can "annihilate all the demon kings", but it will also cause various geological disasters, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. In the worst case, it may even develop into a catastrophe at the level of the end of the world...

This is why the Earth Goddesses and Susanoo were unwilling to let him wake up.

The King of the End is not only a hero who annihilates the Demon King, but also the embodiment of destruction that will bring about the end of the world...

"It seems that you don't know everything about me."

The Last King's eyes became indifferent, and at the same time, he released the cursed power in his body that had risen to a terrifying level.

"Although I have a lot to say, it turns out that using swords to communicate is the most direct way... Can you catch this sword?"

Zheng!

The platinum sword light gradually condensed onto the tip of the blade and was then held high above the head by the Last King, materializing into a huge shining entity that illuminated the entire outer space like a celestial body.

The platinum-gold sun!?

"this is?"

Jiang Liu's pupils shrank as he felt the powerful energy fluctuations that could threaten his life. Without even thinking, he summoned a huge god that was emitting a soft light.

Sun King!

"This is my "magic sword"!"

The Last King swung his divine sword, and a celestial platinum light fell.

At the same time, Jiang Liu increased the output of spell power to the limit and poured it all into the golden holy sword held by the Sun King. A pure white light that was extremely brilliant bloomed from the edge of the sword.

"Holy Demon Slayer, Light of Creation!"

The light of extinction that recreated the creation of heaven and earth shattered the sky, and the light of the divine sword that simulated the celestial body also encountered it.

Buzz - boom! !

The fragments of the deserted island that were about to fall into the atmosphere were crushed into the most basic dust, and the shining brilliance engulfed everything...

When the all-consuming flash of light subsided, the floating island drifting in the satellite orbit had disappeared without a trace, and a large amount of dust and scattered debris was captured by gravity, falling into the atmosphere and burning up.

If you look up at the starry sky from Earth at this moment, you will probably see a huge meteor shower.

In this massive explosion, two figures were thrown out, captured by the earth's gravity, and unable to fall freely in a certain direction.

At this time, a slender figure with wings on its back rushed into the battlefield, not caring about the aftermath at all.

The silver-haired goddess of wisdom looked up and flew towards one of the falling figures...

Chapter 749: Goddess's Shy Night

"This is really embarrassing, Jiang Liu."

The silver-haired goddess followed someone's flying trajectory across the sky and the boundary between the earth and the ocean, and came to a vast land of ice and snow.

In this vast world, all you can see is endless wind and snow, and the endless icebergs rising and falling at the end of the horizon, like a entrenched evil dragon.

And in this pure white world, only where Athena fell there was a huge cemetery. The surrounding ice and snow were melted by the heat, revealing the gray-brown rock layers.

"How far was I sent flying?"

Lying at the bottom of the pit, Jiang Liu stared blankly at the lead-gray sky. The sun had almost completely set at this time, and coupled with the bad weather, it was no different from night, but he could still see things normally.

"This is the frozen northern land." The silver-haired goddess came to Jiang Liu and looked down at him condescendingly.

"The northern land... Hokkaido, Siberia... or the North Pole. I'm flying too far."

Jiang Liu shook his head and sat up: "But since it fell from the synchronous orbit, it's not too outrageous... The power of that blow was really terrifying."

He looked down at the hideous wound on his chest and couldn't help but grin, not sure whether it was because of the pain or because he was mocking himself.

"I have already activated the protection of immortality, but I still ended up like this. Can I only say that I am worthy of being the King of the End?"

"You are already in a relatively good situation. You took the full-power of the Last King's Savior Sword, but you only suffered physical damage. You didn't lose your life. You can't even be considered seriously injured and dying."

Athena exhaled a breath of hot air and felt relieved: "Fortunately, although it is difficult, this injury can still be recovered."

The Goddess of Wisdom was right. Jiang Liu’s current condition looked miserable, but he was actually very lucky.

You must know that it is the sword of salvation, the strongest steel that has annihilated countless demons and dragons and snakes!

The Last King has wielded the divine sword and killed many godslayers, including some as strong as the Heroes of Steel. However, even someone as strong as the "Ten-Life Demon King" would still die under this divine sword.

Generally speaking, if one wants to fight against this divine sword, one must possess powers such as "resurrection", just like the Ten-Life Demon King.

But Jiang Liu relied on his own strong defense and the protection of his immortal body to withstand the divine sword - even though it had been weakened by the Sun King.

The result was just a serious injury, which had never happened before.

Considering that Jiang Liu himself also possesses the protection of the "Twelve Trials" and is even more difficult to deal with than the original Ten-Life Demon King, he can basically be regarded as the "strongest demon king" that the Last King has encountered in the past thousands of years!

Jiang Liu's mind moved, and the blessing of Hydra began to circulate in his body. Streams of vitality emerged from deep within his body, dispelling his fatigue and beginning to heal the hidden injuries in various parts of his body. However, the knife wound on his chest showed no signs of healing.

"This wound is not so easy to heal. The aura left by the strongest steel cannot be healed by the protection of dragons and snakes. Instead, it will make it worse." Athena said lightly.

Jiang Liu nodded, then curled his lips and said: "Although my injury will not heal in a short time, the same goes for that guy, and he may even be worse off than me!"

Both sides endured the shock wave. The Sword of Savior was indeed powerful, but the full-strength attack of the Sun King was no joke.

"Light of Creation" is the trump card of the Sun King. It is a killer move that can tear apart the small world and cause space turbulence. The Last King is strong in his "immortality". No matter how many times he fails, he will make a comeback, but his own defense may not be that strong.

Now the last king’s injuries could not be less serious than Jiang Liu’s, maybe he has even “died” once!

However, after hearing this, Athena raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't be careless. Although this round can be said to be a draw, or you have the advantage, the Last King will not really die, and as long as he does not die, he will continue to become stronger.

When he has absorbed enough energy from the land, and there are now seven God Slayers, his "Covenant Method" will be strengthened to the maximum extent. You will face a formidable enemy who is stronger than before!"

"I see……"

Jiang Liu's eyes were solemn and he sighed slightly.

He began to understand why a mere disobedient god could kill all the countless godslayers that appeared throughout the long history, so that there are no "previous generation" of godslayers at all now.

Just ask, what kind of demon king can defeat a steel hero who can be resurrected, whose strength continues to grow, and who becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents?

He is almost invincible in single combat, but ganging up on his opponent will only make him stronger... Those godslayers who were found by the Last King must be very desperate.

Jiang Liu had not yet reached the point of despair. After all, his strength was incomparable to that of the God Slayer who had appeared before. However, he did find it extremely difficult to deal with the Last King who had no weaknesses at all.

Now, Jiang Liu believed that he could defeat or even kill the opponent, but simply killing him could not stop the hero from making a comeback...

Suddenly I understand a little bit how the big boss in the online game feels when facing the players!

"Besides, this battle has a time limit."

Athena said seriously: "His existence is like a plague to this world. As his strength continues to rise, the speed at which he absorbs essence will become faster and faster. It won't be long before he can cause a global disaster."

“Then the burden on my shoulders is really not light.”

Jiang Liu smiled, stroked the wound on his chest with his right hand, and frowned slightly.

With his physique, this kind of "skin injury" should have healed on its own long ago, but since there has been no change, it proves that this wound cannot be treated by conventional means.

Of course, as long as he is willing to spend time and slowly improve himself, his physical activity will sooner or later cover up the remaining steel aura... but what he lacks now is time.

"Uh..." Athena looked at Jiang Liu deeply, pursed her lips, with a hint of struggle between her eyebrows, but as if she had made some decision, she suddenly relaxed.

"Do not move……"

After saying this to Jiang Liu who was sitting on the ground, Athena bent down and knelt down, almost sitting on Jiang Liu in a face-to-face hug.

"Ugh?"

Feeling the softness and warmth in his arms, Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment.

"Athena?"

"Don't talk! Shut up!"

The goddess' voice was filled with anger and inexplicable majesty, which made Jiang Liu, who had experienced countless Shuras, subconsciously keep silent.

"Well!"

With her hands on Jiang Liu's chest, the man's clothes had already been torn and tattered. His hot body temperature was transmitted to the goddess' fingertips, giving her the illusion of being burned.

Staring at the hideous wound, Athena took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, slightly opened her cherry lips and slowly leaned her head forward.

Jiang Liu was startled by the wet and hot touch on his chest!

The silver-haired goddess pressed her soft thin lips against the edge of the wound, and quietly extended her delicate tongue tip, licking the oozing blood delicately and tenderly, just like licking sweet honey.

Inch by inch, even the cross-section of the muscle fibers inside was not spared. It was hard to tell whether it was persistence or greed, as if she wanted to suck the man whole.

Pain... burning... itching, many complex sensations flooded into Jiang Liu's head, making him dazed, as if he had drunk fine wine.

Although the goddess's behavior was strange, he did not push her away, because Jiang Liu could clearly feel that as Athena licked him, the steel breath remaining on the wound was being cleared away bit by bit.

If he continues like this, he will be back to normal soon.

——However, some things are beyond control, even the goddess of wisdom cannot grasp them.

That is the rapid rise in body temperature of the two people!

Because they were hugging each other, it was impossible to tell which one of them had a higher temperature, but either way, their current condition was very abnormal.

To Jiang Liu, it was a heat even more unbearable than being burned by Bartras's flames, but to Athena, it was like the magma about to erupt from the center of the earth and could not be suppressed.

Miscalculated...

With the last bit of clarity still left in her brain, the goddess of wisdom understood where she had gone wrong.

She knew that the so-called "Steel" and the goddess were both enemies and companions of each other, and there were countless instances of the two appearing as spouses in mythology. Although many goddesses were forcibly degraded, it had to be admitted that there were some who were willing to do so, and Guinevere was the best proof of this.

This is because the aura of the two can blend with each other, just like heaven and earth, yin and yang, male and female. The combination of the two can give birth to all things in the universe.

This is a law that is almost like fate...

Athena had thought in advance that she and Jiang Liu might be attracted to each other, but she was confident that as the goddess of wisdom, she would not be confused by such things.
