The Creators: From Night City

But at this moment they were all being indiscriminately slaughtered, their bodies cut open with countless wounds, their blood drained, all to complete the invocation ritual.

The blood was particularly concentrated around the killer's body, and the blood rain almost soaked him into a blood-soaked figure. The ubiquitous blood stained his scarlet armor, which was wrapped with sharp iron thorns. A crooked metal mask covered his face, and a large number of iron thorns filled all the gaps in the helmet, making people shudder.

With this outfit, if he moves even slightly, his body will surely be covered in countless wounds from the iron thorns.

However, this is exactly what the other party is looking for.

"My Lord has mercy," the other person said, their voice still carrying an inescapable, sticky scent of blood.

“A brand new vessel has been presented to my Lord, Marlene, the God-woman. You are more suited than your brother to bear my Lord’s law.”

His response was a burst of blood mist.

Upon hearing news of her brother Michaela from the other party, Marlenia was instantly enraged.

She swung the thin prosthetic knife like a heavy hammer.

The demigod, enraged, unleashed his full power, cleaving a gap of over ten meters in the blood curtain.

A large, square metal shield was held in front of the opponent, but the slash forcefully shattered the defense formed by the thick shield. The remaining force tore through the opponent's equally heavy armor, directly slicing a huge wound on the opponent's chest, large enough to expose all the internal organs.

In a single exchange, 'Iron Thorn' Elonmer was sent flying dozens of meters, tumbling wildly like a ball in the blood several times, proving the true value of the title 'Borderland Valkyrie' with her own horrific state.

"Where did you hide my brother?!"

Marlenia brandished her sword and demanded an answer, her words filled with barely suppressed rage.

"Hehehe..."

"That's it, wounds, more wounds, letting the blood flow out."

The enemy, who should have been on the verge of death, rose from the ground as if nothing had happened. Countless drops of blood from the ground began to flow into his body, into the wound on his chest, and into his limbs, as if they were alive.

"Which Outer God in the Borderlands 'craves' wounds and blood?" Jiang Bing, who had been watching the battle, suddenly asked Finley beside him.

Although the other party was knowledgeable, he could not be called learned, and could only shake his head in confusion.

The infusion of blood caused what should have been a fatal wound to heal rapidly, leaving only an inconspicuous scar as proof.

"Tell me, where is my brother!"

When confronted with questions, Elonmer laughed wildly and raised the Mare executioner's sword that he had stolen.

The blood-soaked ground was instantly trampled open, and Marlenia's explosive thrust completely shattered any resistance the opponent could muster. The shield used for blocking was pierced through by her prosthetic sword, wielded with masterful skill, and the body behind the shield was also cleanly pierced through.

But everything seemed to rewind, and the severely injured wounds healed rapidly under the nourishment of blood and fresh blood.

“Marinia, a divine being like Marika, why don’t you give up resistance and embrace the ‘Invisible Mother’? Since you have already abandoned corruption, why don’t you throw yourself into the arms of my Lord?”

“My Lord is so generous, so great.”

The rain of blood grew heavier, pelting everyone's bodies relentlessly.

Marlene was no exception.

She keenly sensed that the blood was not only sticking to her skin, but was also constantly spreading into her body and into the depths of her soul.

The Outer God, known as the Mother of the Formless, is not making such a grand show simply to show off. In reality, her true intention is to corrupt Malenia, the law 'vessel' that has come to her doorstep.

For this reason, He spared no effort, even at the cost of great energy, and rained down blood to give believers boundless power.

A deep chill began to seep out from the blood rain, enveloping Marlenia and freezing her.

She continued to wildly swing the knife, oblivious to everything else.

Meanwhile, the incessantly chattering 'Elon Meyer' was almost chopped into mincemeat; in a short while, his entire body was hacked up and down by the prosthetic knife.

But he continued to provoke her, occasionally revealing bits and pieces of information about Michaela, enticing Malenia to attack him relentlessly.

Until the Valkyrie's arm, which she had raised as she swung her sword, was suddenly grabbed and she could not move an inch.

"Stop," Jiang Bing said.

"He has been using words to incite your anger, just to leave you in the bloodbath. Don't let anger cloud your judgment, Malenia. Don't you realize that you are about to be 'possessed'?"

The Valkyrie turned her face, her once fair face now stained with blood, but her eyes were also filled with a faint bloodshot hue.

Anger flickered in her eyes, but reason told her that Jiang Bing's words were true.

“King against king, general against general. Since someone is brazenly using explosives to fish, I naturally have to have a good talk with him.”

Chapter 882 The Essence of the 'Outer Gods'

A burst of golden flames erupted from the spot where Jiang Bing held Marlenia's wrist, igniting her in a single breath.

A crimson mist surged wildly from her body, containing both the blood that had invaded her body and some of her own blood.

The Valkyrie, weakened by blood loss, was tossed aside by Jiang Bing to the wary Finlay, while the charging 'Eronmel' was kicked by Jiang Bing onto his shield, which was now almost sieve-like, and sent back to his homeland.

The shockwave generated by the immense force created a vacuum in the air, and the scattered blood rain was thrown back into the sky. "Eronmel," who was like an unkillable cockroach, smashed through a half-meter-thick wall with his bare body and was kicked into the inner castle by Jiang Bing.

The blood that had accumulated up to his ankles on the ground began to spread into the room as if it were alive, but since there was a section of dry ground in between, the flow was very slow.

"Find a place to take shelter from the rain and don't expose yourself to it."

After giving Fenlei his instructions, Jiang Bing drew the 'Dictionary' with a backhand motion. Golden flames blazed from the sword, but instead of attacking the room, he held the sword and soared straight into the sky.

Moving under the eaves, Finley and Marlenia stared in shock as the 'Outer God' held aloft the golden flame sword. The golden flames instantly spread to tens of meters long, like a weapon of destruction. With a swing, the opponent directly tore a 'wound' hundreds of meters long in the empty sky.

Under their horrified gazes, golden flames clung to the 'Heavenly Mark,' burning fiercely and illuminating the once empty sky, revealing a strange yet magnificent outline.

This is a strange, giant creature that looks like a soul jellyfish. It seems to be formless and intangible, floating in the air, with countless tentacles reaching down to the ground and even more tentacles probing into the void.

Blood, like a celestial river overflowing its banks, poured down the slashed wound and onto the ground, only to be absorbed by the tentacles hanging low to the earth.

Jiang Bing's ethereal flames were extinguished by the massive amount of blood. Without the burning flames, the terrifying 'Heavenly Scar' healed rapidly in the blink of an eye.

As the wound healed, the enormous 'jellyfish' that was big enough to blot out the sky disappeared into the air.

“This is…?” Finley asked in astonishment.

"The Invisible Mother," Malenia, said with great certainty.

Immediately afterwards, a second flaming strike erupted, the blazing sword blade growing to over a hundred meters in length, while the figure wielding the sword had somehow expanded to nearly eight or nine meters tall, resembling a Titan.

The Invisible Mother, who had just disappeared, was wounded by Jiang Bingzi from the void and briefly pulled to the real world at the border.

Blood gushed from the wound like a waterfall.

The giant, like a god, continued to swing his sword wildly, turning the entire sky golden.

Wounds, more wounds are created, the 'true mother' of wounds is both pleasurable and painful.

The raging flames continued to scorch the opponent, frantically melting away its invisible, enormous body.

The power of the 'Mother of Truth' melted away in the flames, yet it grew rapidly again because of the wounds, creating a strange temporary balance.

The torrent of blood was like the Yellow River overflowing its banks, engulfing Jiang Bing and attempting to erode his very essence, while also submerging the entire Sunshade City in a sea of ​​blood.

The blood seemed endless. Although the body of the 'Invisible Mother' appeared extremely large, its size did not change at all after a small lake of blood flowed out, as if its body contained countless amounts of blood.

Faced with an opponent who seemed to grow stronger and more enthusiastic with each fight, Jiang Bing, the [Forger], finally stopped swinging his sword. Instead, he raised his dazzling holy sword high, and flames burst forth from his chest, instantly igniting into a sea of ​​fire that soared into the sky.

The "Mother of Truth," immune to physical attacks, took a full hit from Jiang Bing's "magical attack." Its massive body was like a squid pressed firmly against a hot plate, sizzling as it was roasted. Its enormous body began to shrink rapidly.

A faint, ethereal, and distant echo suddenly rang out, like the cry of a whale, spreading outwards in layers.

That was the lament of the 'Invisible Mother,' the wailing of an 'Outer God.'

The illusory voice echoed in Marlenia's ears, making her feel uncomfortable and chilled to the bone.

She involuntarily looked at Finley beside her, only to find that he remained calm, as if he had not noticed the 'Invisible Mother's' lament.

The 'Mother of Truth' was truly hurt this time, and a large number of tentacles began to frantically wrap around and whip Jiang Bing.

Jiang Bing, whose size was still slowly increasing, had somehow already leaped to the top of the 'Mother of Truth'. His long sword pierced through the body of the 'Mother of Truth', and he frantically poured a huge amount of etheric flames down into his body.

It's so hard to kill, so incredibly hard to kill.

The 'Mother of Truth' truly lives up to her title as an 'Outer God' who wields the laws of wounds and blood. Her health bar is so thick that it seems endless, and her life regeneration speed is so fast that it's almost like having a permanent health lock.

Fortunately, Jiang Bing's 'Deletion Sword' combined with the 'Ether Furnace's' effect of burning everything can permanently reduce the opponent's maximum health, thus providing some restraint.

The 'Ether Furnace' roared into flame, illuminating the entire sky once more, as if a miniature sun had appeared.

A massive amount of ether was pumped into the furnace, turning into flames, which were then poured into the body of the 'Mother of Truth' beneath her.

In return for the sacrifice, a massive amount of ether and knowledge of the fundamental laws related to 'blood and wounds' flowed back into the 'etheric furnace'.

For Jiang Bing, the 'Mother of Truth' was a qualified blood pack: thin-skinned but generously filled, with relatively weak attack power, but a well-endowed figure.

However, this Outer God was not 'foolish'; on the contrary, His wisdom clearly surpassed that of ordinary people.

Seeing that things were hopeless, His body began to slowly dissipate. Even though Jiang Bing used the same trick again, forging a large number of golden chains composed of creation runes related to the concept of 'binding', he could not stop His departure.

After all, the method the other party used to escape was not to flee, but to return to the concept of 'invisibility'.

Jiang Bing was unaware of the state of the other Outer Gods in the border region, but the existence forms of the 'Crimson Corruption' and 'Invisible Mother' that he encountered did not have obvious physical forms. Instead, they seemed to be information life forms gathered from unified rules and concepts.

They actually have no physical form; the specific forms they exhibit are merely anchored concepts assigned by the observer.

This characteristic makes it extremely difficult for them to directly and precisely intervene in reality, but it also endows them with unimaginable 'vitality'.

They can be harmed, weakened, sealed, or exiled, but the difficulty of completely eliminating such beings is no less than 'erasing the Great Dao,' completely erasing the rules they represent from the bottom layer of the world framework.

In any case, Jiang Bing is not capable of such a feat in the short term.

However, this doesn't stop him from ruthlessly exploiting the other party.

Chapter 883 The Whereabouts of Michaela

Although the "Invisible Mother" has departed, the blood that permeates the city of Sunshade still remains.

However, the blood that had previously appeared to be alive had now turned back into inanimate objects.

Jiang Bingxian, whose body was still over ten meters tall, threw the Holy Grail, forged from the body of 'Odon,' into the Blood Lake, letting it frantically absorb the massive amount of blood on the ground. He then casually ripped open the roof of the inner fortress of Rimeng City and grabbed Elonmer, who was sneaking around trying to make a strategic retreat.

Completely ignoring the other party's struggles and resistance, and under the stunned and awe-inspiring gazes of Marlenia and Finley, Jiang Bing suddenly clenched his fist, and the etheric fire ignited in his palm, instantly refining the other party.

The flame, which had always presented itself as a beacon of light and purification to the two, finally revealed its domineering and cruel side.

Ironthorn Elonmer, who once took pleasure in tormenting people, gained immortality in the flames.

Everything he knows will become Jiang Bing's gain.

Its towering body, several meters tall, stood imposingly, as if the 'supreme will' had personally arrived at the point of contact.

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see.

Taking advantage of his height, Jiang Bing immediately spotted several furtive figures outside the city, constantly peering towards the city.

After dissipating his power, his physique returned to its 'factory settings', but he couldn't face the two women who were with him the same way as before.

The two soldiers' respect for strength made them unconsciously treat Jiang Bing with deference.

Having already obtained Michaela's whereabouts from the information burned by Elonmer, Jiang Bing didn't waste any words and directly told Marlenia the answer.

"The Mungwen Dynasty, Monge the Blood King."

Marlenia's gaze immediately turned cold; clearly, she knew something about the culprit.

"Although 'Ironthorn' Elommer suffered the blood of the 'Invisible Mother,' he was not of the same ilk as this Blood King; he was a lone wolf."

Therefore, regrettably, he had no memory of the path or method to reach the so-called Blood Dynasty.

Marlenia gripped her prosthetic knife tightly, but she had already rallied her spirits.

Jiang Bing lifted the 'Odon' Holy Grail, which had absorbed most of the blood of Sunshade City, from the ground. He gently shook the cup, examining the small amount of blood inside with interest, and then asked, "It seems you know him."

"This matter involves royal secrets, but if it's him, everything can be explained."

Jiang Bing has always been unable to resist this kind of family gossip.

Marlenia, too, made no attempt to conceal her family's scandals.

"In historical records, the first king Govre had a son, the golden eldest son Godwin, with the eternal queen Marika, but few people know that the two also had twins afterward."

"A pair of deformed twins."

"They are Mongot and Monger respectively."

“Deformity, twins?” Jiang Bing keenly extracted two keywords from the other party’s words.

Marlenia seemed to have guessed what Jiang Bing was thinking, and readily admitted, "That's right, just like us."
