The Creators: From Night City

Page 439

In the air behind the stone platform lies the eternal goddess Marika.

To be honest, her current situation is not respectable.

The supreme divine body forged by the Golden Law is on the verge of collapse due to the shattering of the magic ring.

Or rather, it has collapsed.

Her 'perfect' body was like a rough terracotta figurine that had been fired too long and dried out, shattered into hundreds of pieces, and it was a miracle that it could be hastily glued back together.

However, the exposed left half of the body had completely collapsed and disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, her hands were shackled on a bright golden arc in the void, and her whole body was suspended high, in a posture like the crucifixion of Jesus.

Her long, golden hair was tied into a long braid, cascading down her delicate face, which was flawless despite being from a rare race.

The goddess, whose name had filled Jiang Bing's ears since his "descent," quietly lowered her head and closed her eyes. Even when Jiang Bing walked to her feet, she did not make the slightest movement. She was like a piece of porcelain that could break at any moment, fragile and lifeless.

She was dead, Jiang Bing was quite certain, and at this moment, not a trace of her soul remained in this divine body.

After all, as the 'container' for the operation of the Elden Ring, her body and the ring were already integrated. Smashing the ring was essentially smashing her body, her origin, and all the information about her existence.

Of course, just as the Elden Ring was not completely shattered, the Eternal Queen Marika was not actually completely dead, but the existence of a weapon completely robbed her of her remaining life.

It was a scarlet spear made entirely of death that pierced her abdomen from bottom to top, extinguishing all life in her broken divine body.

This spear also made Jiang Bing frown, as if he could see countless conspiracies and schemes.

This crimson spear is made of the power of the law of 'Predestined Death,' a power once wielded by the 'Queen of Night-Colored Eyes.'

It was also the cause of killing "Golden" Godwin, creating the "Night of the Black Knife," triggering the "War of Shattered Blades," and turning the border region into its current state.

The empty stone platform was unusually quiet; apart from Jiang Bing, there was no one else there.

So the question is, who hoisted Marika up, and who could control the power of 'Destined Death' to pierce Marika's body with that deadly spear?

Fortunately, Jiang Bing didn't need to guess; his 'vision' was always very broad, and he could see the answer to many things directly.

'Giggle~'

A very faint cracking sound rang out, and the shackles formed from the small arc of runes at the top of the Elden Ring suddenly began to crumble, and then shattered completely in front of Jiang Bing.

Marika, having lost her anchor, was like a piece of rotten wood falling onto the stone ground.

The pure golden light of the Golden Law shone from her, and a new will quickly took over Marika's body.

Her long golden hair rapidly transformed into red hair, and her slender female body transformed into a tall and robust male physique as the light shone through.

In just a few breaths, the Eternal Queen Marika transformed into the 'Red-Haired Hero' and 'King's Husband' Radagan.

"One body, two souls?" Jiang Bing guessed, frowning.

Chapter 894 Jiang Bing's Old Trick

Perhaps the fall caused his body to shatter again, or perhaps Radagan's 'top number' destroyed his divine body once more. When this 'King's Consort' stood up again, the left half of his body had completely vanished into nothingness. Through the cracked wound, one could even clearly see the gleaming golden law within his body.

The eyes, radiating a dazzling golden light, met the eyes burning with inexhaustible golden flames. During the brief moment of surprise on the part of the 'red-haired' hero, Jiang Bing had already gained a preliminary understanding of some of the other's true nature.

"So she is the embodiment of the Golden Law. Interesting. It seems that the high and mighty Eternal Queen is indeed a helpless puppet and vessel."

There was no response. This 'Wang Fu,' who had spent his life fighting and killing, was like the Golden Law, a cold and ruthless robot. He stepped on a barrage of exploding golden light and charged straight at Jiang Bing. Countless golden lights intertwined on his left arm, which had long since turned to nothingness, forming a golden arm that reached out to grab the enemy.

However, this attack seemed rather perfunctory, as Jiang Bing easily dodged it by simply turning to the side.

However, the other party's original target was not him, the intruder, but the stone hammer on the stone platform, the stone hammer that accompanied Marika throughout her life and shattered the Elden Ring.

The plan was well-thought-out, but the intentions were too obvious, and the person was overestimating their own abilities.

Jiang Bing suddenly grabbed one golden arm with another golden arm, and took the initiative, using the momentum of Ladagan's forward charge to press the other party firmly down onto the stone platform.

Just as the cracked fingers touched the ancient-looking stone hammer, Jiang Bing grabbed the handle first and snatched it from the other's hand.

'Give it to me!'

The remaining power of the Golden Law stirred along the hammer, as if trying to break free from Jiang Bing's grasp and return to its 'original owner's' hand.

But great strength can produce miracles, and Jiang Bing's immense power allowed him to easily suppress the insignificant resistance on the spot.

The red-haired hero, who was fighting on the border, struggled desperately, but his severely damaged divine body and the overwhelming difference in strength meant that he could only be pressed firmly onto the stone platform.

Jiang Bing twirled the stone hammer in his hand, then looked at Ladagan's large head, which was pressed against the anvil-like surface, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

If you happen to have a hammer in your hand, and there happens to be an anvil next to you with a freshly baked steel billet on it, would you smash it?

Bao's brother, Bao's.

Golden flames roared, enveloping the hammer and the hammer-wielder, illuminating the entire space. The figure hidden in the distant illusory golden tree projection could no longer contain himself and scattered several laser-like golden beams of light that struck Jiang Bing's divine body, but not a single snowflake was splashed, nor did it cause the slightest ripple in the other's raised arm.

Like a playful child, Jiang Bing raised the stone hammer high, disregarding everything else, and swung it with all his might, smashing it into Ladagan's forehead on the stone platform.

"boom!!!"

Like meteors colliding, a terrifying golden shockwave surged forth from the stone platform, and a typhoon-like disturbance erupted from the point of contact between the hammer and Radagan's body.

It's important to know that this hammer is no ordinary hammer; it's a tool that Marika meticulously prepared and planned for a long time to shatter the magic ring, and the stone platform is naturally no ordinary stone platform either.

Of course, Radagan's head is no ordinary head, and the one wielding the hammer is no ordinary being either.

Jiang Bing knew perfectly well what the consequences of his hammer blow would be.

Outside, an incredibly terrifying golden shockwave emerged from the burning golden tree trunk and swept across the entire border region.

All objects, prayers, miracles, and buildings that exist based on the power of the Golden Law trembled violently, and all believers of the Golden Law clearly heard a crisp cracking sound in their hearts.

Something broke.

Radagan is the personification of the Golden Law, born from the vessel of the 'rare' Marika, and represents the divine power of the Golden Law.

Therefore, when Jiang Bing swung the hammer, he not only struck Ladagan, but also the Golden Law itself.

It's important to understand that although the Elden Ring is broken, it hasn't completely collapsed or been destroyed. The Golden Law has only experienced a bug and is still operating by relying on the broken ring.

But today, Jiang Bing did what Queen Marika hadn't finished, directly smashing Radagan, which can also be said to be the culprit of Marika herself and the Golden Law.

To be honest, this job is not easy.

The immense force of the shockwave surged all the way up to the level of laws, and the storm first struck Jiang Bing, who was closest to it.

The shockwaves from the laws and the disturbances from higher dimensions caused Jiang Bing's avatar to become uncontrollably blurred and distorted, almost causing it to collapse on the spot.

One must be strong to forge iron, and fortunately, Jiang Bing's 'human form' is strong enough.

Another being, also standing at the center of the 'storm,' was not spared either. A series of ethereal, humming sounds, like stars in the vacuum of space, rang out as a huge, bizarre creature was blasted out of the shadow of the golden tree by the shockwave.

It is a golden meteor cast by the 'Supreme Will', the culprit who manipulated the Golden Tree to attack Jiang Bing, and the living Elden Ring.

This creature looks very strange. Its body is transparent and resembles a mollusk. It has four limbs, but also a tail. It has multiple wings on its back, but a disproportionately long neck. Its head has no facial features, is a chaotic mess, but has two eyes that are as bright as nebulae.

Through its almost transparent body, one can clearly see a dazzling golden magic ring pattern coiled within its body. However, this magic ring is more complex and also more ancient than the one that Marika smashed.

The strange creature, which looked like a long-necked dragon, was enormous, but its movements were unusually light. It was thrown out of the darkness by the shockwave and, once exposed, it no longer hid. With the flapping of its short wings, its mountain-like body danced in the air like a butterfly.

But the elegant aerial dance brought deadly danger. A large number of golden starlight were drawn along the opponent's flight path, leaving a dazzling golden light strip, and then they all rushed towards Jiang Bing.

Meanwhile, the beast that the 'Supreme Will' had cast upon the borderland simultaneously stretched out its soft, five-fingered arm, attempting to follow behind the 'Elden Meteor Shower' and snatch back Radagan's corpse.

It didn't care about the corpse of this 'royal consort,' but rather the golden law surging within that body.

Interestingly, Jiang Bing also took a liking to it.

This space, being the opponent's home turf, can be said to have amplified the combat power of this 'Golden Egg' to its maximum.

Carrying Radagan's headless corpse in one hand, Jiang Bing retreated rapidly towards the entrance. The opponent frantically unleashed a barrage of techniques derived from the Golden Law, blocking Jiang Bing's path of retreat.

Meteors, laser beams, wide-ranging golden halos, light spears, arrow rain... the attacks came one after another, relentlessly flooding the road, but they could not stop Jiang Bing from breaking through the obstruction amidst the hail of bullets, one hand holding a hammer and the other carrying Marika's corpse. Covered in wounds, he returned to Heiml's 'Gate of Roots', plunged into the gate, and disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Bing's avatar alone is no match for this 'preserved egg' formed from the magic ring; he'll have to use his full strength.

In the next instant, a massive, sky-covering flaming sword pierced through this small universe with absolute brutality, like popping a bubble under the sunlight. It completely destroyed this space and dragged the beast known as the 'Beast of Elden' into the boundary area.

Chapter 895 The Great Jin Dynasty is Dead

Royal City Rodel has had a really bad day.

The new filming location for Ultraman has been moved here from Japan.

The beast of Elden was quite large, measuring forty or fifty meters in length, but it still appeared tiny in front of Jiang Bing.

The battle between the two giants practically ravaged the royal city.

The heavy city wall, weighing tens of thousands of tons, was destroyed in an instant, and tens of thousands of cubic meters of soil were compacted by the body of the Elden Beast.

The battle between the two sides can be described in a physical sense as "mountains and rivers dancing, and rivers surging".

Marlenia and Finley, who were watching the battle from a hilltop far away, were almost knocked over by the tremors.

The earth rippled like water under the immense force, while the interplay of flames and golden light dyed the entire sky red, making the burning gold even more dazzling.

The dictionary was still stuck in the golden tree, while the egg-shaped Elden Beast was also unarmed. The two used the royal city as a ring and fought a traditional boxing match.

If the basic movement method is sufficient, then the techniques cannot be basic.

Jiang Bing rushed forward, enduring the dazzling meteor shower of the opponent's explosion, and delivered a flying horizontal kick, sending the Beast of Elden flying from the Rodel Palace to the entrance of the royal city.

The two tree guards were laid off on the spot, since the royal city gate was gone and the gatekeepers could only sadly lose their jobs.

The ethereal howl that trembled the soul resounded across half of the Yatan Plateau. Since its arrival at the border, the Beast of Elden had never suffered such torment or injustice.

Having spent his life on the battlefield, he had seen all sorts of things, but he had never seen a fight so dirty.

Those who are gods should at least maintain a certain image.

Unfortunately, Jiang Bing only focused on practicality.

Jiang Bing uprooted a massive and exquisite palace, picked it up like a brick, and swung it directly at the head of the Elden Beast, sending bricks flying everywhere.

What followed was even more shameless actions such as tripping, hugging, and punching.

The Beast of Elden has no 'blood' in the traditional sense; its body is composed entirely of pure law and energy.

However, it was still being hit by the opponent, coughing out nebula-like bursts of light and electricity.

As the embodiment of the Elden Ring, taking a beating is certainly not its style.

The counterattack came quickly.

The five fingers, originally condensed with golden light, suddenly turned into a deep, dark purple as they reached for Jiang Bing's back. The avatar of the magic ring finally unleashed its other powers.

That power, distinct from the Golden Law, belongs to itself, to the stars.

A dazzling light, like a star exploding, exploded directly, and the enormous and bizarre body of the Elden Beast was suddenly shattered, turning into endless tiny nebulae. It broke free from Jiang Bing's grasp and reappeared behind him.

A massive surge of energy condensed into a golden arc suspended in the air, binding Jiang Bing's arm to the void like Marika's. This strange creature, which was neither human, bird, fish, plant, nor beast, but combined the characteristics of all the above species, unleashed its full power for the first time.

Golden power, like surging blood, spread through the opponent's transparent body, transforming the eleven broken wings on its back into dazzling golden feathers, while its tail transformed into golden tree-like roots. The two propelled it soaring into the sky, unleashing golden beams of light like a storm.

These beams of light shot out from the golden wings, countless in number, but their target was strikingly consistent: Jiang Bing, who was fixed in place.

Unfortunately, while the small rune curve of the French Ring could imprison Marika, it was difficult to restrain Jiang Bing, who was not even in the same size.

The curved beam, made of golden glass, was snapped in two by Jiang Bing's elbow. Facing the impact of countless rays of light, he bent over and exerted his strength, his massive body instantly taking off, leaving all the bombardment behind.

While it may be called running, the full-force running of a 100-meter-tall divine body is inherently a world-destroying attack.

Like a swan circling in the air, stretching its neck, the Beast of Elden was grabbed by Jiang Bing, who jumped from the ground, and pulled off its boastful ultimate move from its aftercast animation.

Showy but impractical – that's Jiang Bing's assessment of the other party.

Compared to Diablo's ferocity and brutality, the Beast of Elden's moves and fighting style exude a 'bourgeois' air, affected and overly concerned with appearances.

In comparison, Jiang Bing's fighting style was less dignified, but it was practical.

Grabbing its long, narrow tail, he flipped over and slammed the Elden Beast onto a tower like a whip. As the largest tower in the royal city collapsed, he leaped up and attacked its soft belly, continuing to swing it wildly around while enduring the erosion of the golden law energy emanating from the beast.

All these attacks pale in comparison to his next move, "Monkey Steals the Peach".

On the belly of the Beast of Elden, there was a wound that was not very obvious but never fully healed.

Although it is unknown who left the wound or what methods were used, the damage to this 'preserved egg' was undoubtedly very serious.

The wound was surrounded by a dense ring of centipede-like marks, deeply imprinted on the other's very essence. This pattern seemed to possess some kind of magic, preventing the wound from fully healing and making it the 'only scar' on the other's perfect divine body.

Taking advantage of his weakness, Jiang Bing reached into the wound and gave him a heartfelt and intimate conversation.

Even the screams of the Beast of Elden were melodious and pleasant to hear, with a unique charm. However, once a large amount of ethereal fire ignited within its body, the screams immediately turned into pure despair.
