Chapter 388 Shattering Immortality with Thunder
The wind that seemed to be able to cut through everything was the power of the Archbishop of Greed.
But his power has nothing to do with wind. The Archbishop of Greed's real power is extremely unreasonable, and its name is "Lion's Heart".
Its function is to make the "time stop" of an object, but unlike the general time stop, its power is more like stopping the object from changing.
This unreasonable power can act on oneself as well as on other things. The object being acted on remains unchanged from a certain moment and becomes a kind of "space break". It can be said that it is directly offset from reality and continues to do so.
Because it can affect himself, the Archbishop of Desire remains eternally young, surviving for hundreds of years or more. He is also never hungry, thirsty, or tired, and is invulnerable to swords and guns in all directions.
Unless the boundary of time stop is broken, even Reinhard, the Son of the World, cannot hurt the Archbishop of Greed.
This power that disregards the laws is truly invincible.
The manifestation of its effect on other objects is that it can cause the "time to stop" of any existence it touches, including exhaled air and thrown objects.
Everything the Archbishop of Greed throws out will maintain its initial velocity and continue moving forever until it exceeds the limits of his ability.
Because of the characteristic of "space rupture", the objects thrown by the Archbishop of Greed cannot be blocked by anything. Unless a defense with space properties is used, there are only two outcomes: one is broken into two, or the thrown object is crushed.
The wind blade that the Archbishop of Greed swung at Crusch was the wind he created with a casual wave of his hand.
The breeze brought by the gentle wave, because time stopped, turned into a wind blade that could cut through everything.
Seeing the wind blade tearing everything in front of him, Crusch's breathing stagnated and he hurriedly slashed out with an invisible sword to block it.
However, the invisible sword that could break the white whale's defense couldn't block the wind blade for even half a second and was split in two by the wind blade.
Then, the wind blade attacked.
Fear appeared in Crusch's eyes and he wanted to dodge, but when she attacked, the chance to dodge was lost.
Just as the wind blade was about to tear the body apart, a hand glowing with lightning suddenly stretched out.
Crack!
The lightning and wind blade collided, making a crackling sound, and then the hand squeezed suddenly, and the wind blade that had originally stopped time disappeared into thin air in an instant.
"Tsk, I never thought that I would have the chance to rescue someone someday..."
Along with helpless complaints, Xia Yu walked out of the void, holding a young girl in his hand. The girl looked panicked, as if she didn't understand what was going on.
"Xia Yu!"
Crusch cried out in surprise, but a voice that was even more surprised and angry than Crusch’s sounded right after.
"What a joke, what's wrong with you, man? How can you take someone else's wife for granted? What do you want? Although I am a perfect person with a very good temper and no desires, I can't ignore this kind of behavior of touching someone else's wife casually! Even a perfect person like me will get angry. You are invading my property. How can there be such a shameless and disgusting person like you!"
The endless and incoherent words came from the mouth of the Archbishop of Greed, and his distorted face made them look even more distorted.
"Shut up, you idiot! You're so annoying!"
Xia Yu started to curse the Archbishop of Greed at his endless chatter, but after he finished, he felt a little confused.
He seemed to have been silenced just now, hmm... it was really effectively silenced.
"you……"
"I told you to shut up, you idiot!"
Xia Yu's dissatisfaction with the Bishop of Greed turned into thunder, and the thunder gathered into a lightning spear. Xia Yu held the lightning spear and threw it fiercely at the Bishop of Greed.
The golden lightning gun flashed through the air, leaving behind flashing electric currents.
"Huh? This is your attack? What a ridiculous attack! How could a perfect person like me be hurt by this kind of attack? This is an imperfect, flawed, short-sighted, pathetic, lamentable, incomplete person. A perfect person like me who has no desires and is physically and mentally satisfied would never - poof!"
The moment he saw the lightning spear coming, the Archbishop of Greed continued to chatter away, with no intention of dodging at all.
His power made him invincible, so he lived peacefully for hundreds of years, but precisely because of his invincibility, his mind did not grow at all.
But who would have thought that the lightning spear that was originally ignored by the Archbishop of Greed suddenly broke through the barrier of time stop and knocked him away with a bang.
The wandering thunder made the Archbishop of Greed's hair stand on end. Perhaps because the power of the lightning spear was not strong and the power to stop time was not completely eliminated, the Archbishop of Greed did not die immediately, but just lay on the ground twitching.
"How... is it possible!"
The Bishop of Gluttony, who was standing by in a daze, looked at the scene in shock. When he found that the Bishop of Greed was injured, he cried out in fear.
As an Archbishop of Sin, he naturally knew that the Archbishop of Greed was the strongest among the Archbishops of Sin. He was truly invincible, unrivaled and invincible.
But now, Wudi is injured.
Obviously, the Archbishop of Gluttony didn't know that invincibility was not a buff but a debuff, and the previous invincible guy was still floating in space.
"You...how could you possibly hurt him!"
Because he was too shocked, the Bishop of Gluttony suddenly looked at Xia Yu and asked loudly.
"Tsk, does this have anything to do with you?" Xia Yu curled his lips, stretched out his hand, condensed a lightning spear again, and suddenly threw it towards the Bishop of Gluttony.
As we all know, those who boast about their abilities when asked by the enemy are all second-rate villains.
The fate of these villains, without exception, was death at the hands of the protagonist. Even if they did not die, their ending was definitely not good.
With these predecessors… ugh, with these negative examples as warnings, he would be a fool to explain his abilities when he has the advantage.
Even if I want to tell it, I have to kill all the enemies first, and then tell it to their corpses.
The lightning spear flashed with golden arcs and flew towards the short Archbishop of Gluttony.
Seeing the attack of the Archbishop of Greed coming towards him, the Archbishop of Gluttony's pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly shrank his body, actually like a spider, fleeing on all fours with an extremely strange pace.
Although his steps were strange, his speed was not slow. In the blink of an eye, he had already moved away from Xia Yu. Of course, he also moved away from the still twitching Bishop of Greed.
The Archbishop of Gluttony had no psychological burden at all regarding the act of selling out his teammates. He was the Archbishop of Sin Gluttony, and he was not some reckless man who would fight to the death rather than flee. He would naturally flee if he could.
Fortunately, the monster that injured the Archbishop of Greed seemed to have no interest in him and actually stood there watching him flee into the distance.
The Bishop of Gluttony relaxed a little, but his speed did not slow down, instead he ran even faster.
"Xia Yu, that guy is about to disappear!"
Seeing the Archbishop of Gluttony running away, Xia Yu was not in a hurry, but Crusch, who reacted, became a little anxious.
Although she was still shocked that Xia Yu could injure the strongest Archbishop of Greed among the Archbishops of Sins, she also knew that since the Archbishop of Greed could be dealt with, then the Archbishop of Gluttony would definitely not be a problem.
Letting the Archbishop of Gluttony go now would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains. Who knows how many ordinary people will be harmed in the future.
In response to Crusch's reminder, Xia Yu shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, he can't escape. Someone will deal with him. Let's deal with this guy first."
As he spoke, Xia Yu looked at the Bishop of Greed who was slowly recovering.
The Archbishop of Greed is an important turning point in Emilia's growth in the later period. In the book Re:0, both the male and female protagonists are growing types.
Whether it is Natsuki Subaru or Emilia, they only began to mature after experiencing various things.
Therefore, Rem can only be the second female lead and cannot become the female lead because she cannot accompany Natsuki Subaru to grow up. Rem has been stereotyped from the beginning.
But Emilia didn't. Like Natsuki Subaru, Emilia was extremely immature when she first appeared. She only grew up after experiencing all kinds of things.
If he had dealt with the Archbishop of Greed here, then Emilia's later life might have gone into the unknown and she would not have been able to grow as she should have.
But to be honest, when he dealt with the white whale, he had actually interfered with Natsuki Subaru's growth, and Natsuki Subaru had already begun to move towards an unknown ending at that time.
Call him arrogant or conceited, he has always felt that growing up with sacrifice is cruel, and since he has the ability to change, he must change.
No matter what, Natsuki Subaru is just a normal high school student. He will be happy when he solves a problem, and will collapse in despair when he reaches a dead end. Looking at his growth path, it has always been cruel.
Growth is fine, but growth that is accompanied by death and sacrifice is better off forgetting it.
Back to the topic, the Bishop of Greed climbed up from the ground , his face distorted, and roared at Xia Yu in disbelief.
"Impossible, impossible, impossible, what's going on? I don't understand! Why did I have to encounter something like this? Who do you think I am? I am the Archbishop of the Witch Cult, Regulus Corneas, who is in charge of greed. I am the most satisfied person in this world! The most complete individual! An existence that cannot be shaken both physically and mentally! If this is the case, why did I encounter something like this! Are you kidding me? This is not a joke! Why would such a troublesome, noisy, annoying, hateful, nasty, superficial, disgusting and stupid person hurt me!"
"Tsk, what a mental pollution." Xia Yu couldn't help rubbing his nose bridge. He finally understood why someone would say something like "you're hurting my eyes."
People like the Archbishop of Greed are really an eyesore.
"Unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable..."
He kept muttering something vague and incomprehensible, and suddenly the Archbishop of Desire grabbed a handful of gravel from the ground and threw it forward.
Any object touched by the Archbishop of Greed will maintain its initial speed and continue to move forever. Because it cannot be disturbed or stopped, no matter what obstacles are ahead, they will be directly penetrated.
But the sand and gravel that were like shotgun blasts turned into ordinary sand and gravel and fell to the ground sparsely after encountering the wall of thunder pulled out by Xia Yu.
“This…is impossible…”
At this moment, the crazy Bishop of Greed was unusually silent. He just asked unbelievable questions as if his neck was pinched.
"Haha, there are many impossible things." Xia Yu sneered and put away the wall of thunder in front of the Bishop of Greed.
The reason why he could eliminate the time stop was very simple, because he was using the thunder from the dark soul world, the golden thunder that hunted the immortal ancient dragon.
In the world of Dark Souls, immortal ancient dragons coexist with rocky trees. They are supreme beings that are above everything else, and their racial origins are even older than the first fire.
The immortality of the ancient dragons comes from their rock scales, which are immortal dragon scales that can withstand the passage of time.
But in the War of the Ancient Dragons, the Sun King Gwyn used the Spear of Sunlight to destroy the Immortal Dragon Scales and finally conquered the ancient dragons in the world.
Of course, the thunder used by Xia Yu is naturally not as good as that used by the Sun King Gwyn, but the immortal ancient dragon is not comparable to the Archbishop of Greed.
After taking back the wall of thunder, Xia Yu lightly snapped his fingers, a flash of lightning appeared, and a bloody hole immediately appeared on the thigh of the Archbishop of Desire.
"ah--!"
The injured Archbishop of Greed fell to the ground with a shrill scream, and couldn't help but wailing while holding his legs.
After making the Archbishop of Greed show his ugly side, Xia Yu patted the young girl he brought here, who had already been frightened silly.
"How is it? Your husband is very ugly, isn't he? Now I will kill him, and you can be free."
The girl did not come back to her senses in the face of Xia Yu's words. She just stared blankly at the ugly and lustful Bishop.
She was the wife abducted by the Archbishop of Greed. She was lost... No, it cannot be said to be lost, but she suppressed everything about being a human being deep in her heart.
At least from the panic in the beginning and the shock now, it shows that they still have emotions, but the Archbishop of Greed has always wanted them to think of themselves as objects, so they also think of themselves as objects.
The reason for all this is because of the flaw in the Archbishop of Greed. Although he can stop physical time, his heart still needs to beat.
It's not biological, but it's magical.
If the heart stops beating for more than five seconds, the Archbishop of Greed will feel very uncomfortable. If it lasts too long, he will also face death. Therefore, he also gained another power, which is called "Little King".
The function of this power is to place one's own heart into the body of a designated object and integrate it with the object's heart.
At the same time, the heart can be transferred freely between targets, but the prerequisite is that the target must be a member of the "Little Kingdom", that is, the wife unilaterally recognized by the Bishop of Greed. It is useless to refuse.
As long as the Archbishop of Greed determines that the target is his wife, the target will join the "Little Kingdom".
Therefore, if the two powers are activated at the same time, the Archbishop of Greed will be granted eternal invincibility.
Of course, the target of the heart must not only be alive, but also have obvious vital signs, and cannot be too far away from the Archbishop of Greed. If it is too far away, the power of the "little king" cannot be activated.
The reason why Xia Yu went to scout out the place to rescue people was because he had gone to look for the wife of the Archbishop of Greed.
The target's characteristics are quite simple, as long as she is pretty and expressionless.
It was not known whether it was because the Archbishop of Desire was too confident, but after searching for a long time, Xia Yu only found this one, the young girl he brought with him.
At this moment, looking at the Archbishop of Greed with a distorted face and a dirty body, the girl's originally suppressed emotions finally began to ripple.
