Hunter of the Evernight
Chapter 697: Breakdown

Chapter 697: Breakdown

The waters of the Azure Seas raged, claiming the lives of those unfortunate enough to be at sea, as the Goddess of the Deep Sea, Ninmah, unleashed the entirety of her Authority.

This chaos was not just limited to the Azure Seas as it threatened to spread into not just Ra’as, but Argent and Emet as well.

If not that these continents had the support of Daemons and Demigods who were unwilling to allow their lands to be devoured by the sea forcing them to work together to keep the calamitous essence of Ninmah’s authority at bay, perhaps, the entirety of Eventide would have already turned from a place with land and sea, to a place with just the latter.

Even then, they only barely held on because Ninmah was focused not on their continents but on Henos, seeking to rip apart the veil currently obscuring it from her great flood.

The more she pushed, the more the veil was forced to its limits with its maker, the Figure Hidden Behind the Shadows, forced to put in everything, even his own being, just to ensure it held.

The consequence of this suicidal act was that he began to fall apart with the veil that hid his figure from being seen slowly falling apart.

Azazel, as a result of being the Apostle of the Figure, could tell that his patron God was being forced to death.

"My lord..." He breathed out, feeling a distinct pain as he was unable to do anything but watch.

He couldn’t even blame the Jester for leaving the Figure no chance but to put his life on the line, after all, even if the Jester hadn’t liaised with the Figure to act should anything happen during his ascension, the Figure would have been forced to act, though the range of his actions would have been limited to the location the Assassins Guild called home.

With nothing else to do but watch, he moved closer and sat cross-legged across from the Figure, intent on accompanying the deity in its final moments.

The battle ended quicker than anticipated.

With his superior weapons, Ull put a swift end to Old King Khabrias and his army, leaving behind stragglers who fled without daring to look back at the devastation the barbarian weapons had caused.

Ull smiled, happy that he had not listened to the words of his council.

They were cowards one and all, unable to understand his grand goal.

If they didn’t move now, when else would they move?

Perhaps it was time to put an end to those bastards...

"My lord!"

Ull glanced back at the sudden entrance of his highest-ranked general.

"What is it?"

"The chiefs have revolted!... We must flee!"

Before Ull could react, the doors to his chambers were blasted away, and the chiefs he thought subordinate to him marched in, each one radiating an intense bloodlust directed at him.

"Have you all gone mad!... What is the meaning of this?" Ull questioned, enraged that they would dare act against him.

"You traitor!... Not only did you work with those crazy clowns and their disgusting deity to kill our God, you dared to claim his weapon as your own!... You have betrayed us all and now it is time you pay for your treachery!"

"I am leading us into a new age!" Ull defended but the chiefs were not about to pay heed to his claims.

"You are unfit to lead us, Ull!... Give up your life!"

After saying that, the chiefs didn’t hesitate to rush Ull, intending to cut him down with their weapons.

Unwilling to be brought down so easily, Ull bellowed. "Fine then, since you have decided to go against me, then I shall show you why I was chosen by the heavens!"

Saying that, he unleashed a war cry like no other, retrieving the divine weapon once wielded by the Berserk God, Zyagi before clashing with the rebel chiefs.

Meanwhile, in another chamber, one that for some reason saw no conflict of any kind around it, Cybele was seated before a mirror, cradling a glass orb that glowed with a variety of colors.

Patiently, she waited, paying no heed to the chaos occurring across the mobile cities.

Alex, Elena, and Victoria appeared above the sky, discovering the presence of Ana, Arwen, and Nadia, who had evidently done as Elena asked, waiting patiently for her return.

"You brought reinforcement?" Ana inquired, unsure of why Elena had done so.

"Not exactly," Elena replied. "But there’s been a change in plans; We need to capture the Fallacy."

"Why?"

"Long story," Elena replied, echoing a similar statement the trio had responded with during her last visit.

Meanwhile, Arwen rushed to stand beside Alex as he made his way to the edge of the cloud to regard the situation below.

Although difficult to make out the situation, the presence of explosions and a terrifying screech made it easy to locate the creature they were there for.

"Let’s go." Alex immediately said.

Before anyone could offer a response, he snapped and they were all engulfed by black and white light.

Below, the Nysodosian defense was on the verge of crumbling.

Though they had managed to weaken the many-faced fallacy, its frightening vitality allowed it to keep moving forward, leaving them unsure of what else to do.

As it was, they were in dire need of more ammunition, causing a lull in their barrage of cannon fire, an opportunity the many-faced entity did not hesitate to use as it charged forward while calling on the mutants across the valley to mount an attack as well.

Within moments, Nysodosia was forced to fight a battle on multiple fronts against mutants who had evidently lost their senses as they attacked without care for their lives.

Just as the many-faced creature was close to slamming into the Nysodosian wall with the soldiers jumping off for fear of getting caught in the destruction, there was an audible snap, followed by a ripple in the aether, and the next moment, a black hole appeared between the many faced entity and the wall.
