Chapter 469: God-Slaying Pistol

Iroha widened his eyes even more. Everything that had just happened completely exceeded the scope of his understanding. The manner in which the Pantheon collapsed was incomprehensible to him.

As a grassroots armed Resistance Organization, he didn't know much about the deep-seated secrets of the Interstellar space.

So the scene before him made him even more terrified.

"Your Excellency Husband's Friend is indeed not simple." He said, slightly absent-minded.

………

While the Meditation Organization was preparing to act earlier, Horus, who had left the Black Pupil Fleet, had already found his opponent.

"Adams!"

Horus's eyes were cold, spitting out a name in a voice only he could hear, the wails of soldiers faintly echoing in his ears.

This made the killing intent in his heart boil!

"I knew it!"

Previously, when he saw Horus fighting with The Council, he had a bad feeling, and now it was indeed confirmed.

He dodged quickly, facing the enemy hastily, and simultaneously said in the channel: "Horus, now is not the time to seek revenge. The Star Glory Empire is Covetously Staring at us."

Horus couldn't be bothered to respond to his words. Energy erupted from his whole body, and he raised his fist covered by Black Armor.

The Knight's Blade slashed out at the same time. Terrifying Energy spontaneously spewed out along the blade, and the vigorous black slashing wave sent Adams flying.

But the next moment, Adams halted his figure, spun around in an arc, and actually intended to directly confront Horus's offensive.

"Adams, you Traitor, I want you dead!"

Killing intent spewed from Horus's eyes, his expression even somewhat twisted. Such an expression was almost never seen on his face, enough to prove his hatred for the person in front of him.

"Horus, you can't say that..." Adams's expression was gloomy: "I worked trembling with fear in Return Star for one thousand eight hundred years, and was only a miserable Tier A2 Lifeform."

"But after I defected to Nightmare, in just eighty years, they cultivated me into an A4-tier lifeform, pouring various Gene Development Potions onto my body at any cost."

"Would I have this kind of treatment if I stayed in Return Star!?"

Adams's punches and kicks brought up swift shadows, endlessly spewing out resplendent blazing red Energy, condensed to the point of near-materialization.

Like a Laser Cannon bombarding Horus, constantly blasting out countless Electric Arcs and Energy sparks in frontal collisions, his fighting style equally incredibly ferocious.

"This is your reason for betrayal? The ones who died on that battlefield were your compatriots!"

Horus rebuked angrily. The Knight's Blade rolled up wave-like black energy, each slash faster than the last.

In the blink of an eye, he collided with Adams thousands of times. The figures of the two constantly separated and joined at high speed, the clash of power causing the surrounding space to bend and dislocate slightly.

Wherever the two passed, a large number of warships were shattered by the aftershocks of the battle. In this kind of battlefield, there was no rule of big shots dueling one-on-one while the Little Brothers didn't interfere.

The countless warships around didn't stop their offensive towards this side, throwing large swathes of troops into this War Zone.

Bang!

Horus executed a thrust, which was caught by Adams with both hands. The collision between them exploded into a spherical shock energy mass.

They fought back and forth, evenly matched, like two blurry afterimages constantly colliding, frequently bursting out Shockwaves.

"Ha, Horus, how come your Strength has regressed so much, are you old!?"

Through the brief engagement, Adams noticed the decline in Horus's Strength and immediately sneered: "Now you're even sent to protect some Li Yu. Is this the reward for your Utterly Loyal service to Return Star!?"

And Adams suddenly shone brightly with Crimson Glow, his speed abruptly increasing, heading straight for Horus. The red light formed a massive biological projection behind him.

Following closely, his fists fell like meteors, constantly smashing onto Horus's body, as if trying to forcefully smash Horus to pieces.

But at this moment, Horus's eyes suddenly turned cold. The Knight's Blade was like a phantom, slashing accurately towards the other party's head amidst the meteor-like fists.

Adams's pupils contracted, only able to temporarily stop his offensive to block this attack, while Horus turned the hilt of the blade and blasted his other palm towards the other party's chest.

Adams flew backward directly, smashing a large number of warships along the way.

But at the same time, he also left a large number of densely packed red fist prints on Horus's body, which completely detonated at this moment, wrapping him in violent Energy.

At the center of the Energy burst, Horus endured the pain, and a vial of Potion appeared in his hand.

"Connecting to the highest Database, accessing code , logging unknown Rule-Level Weapon, code name——God-Slaying Pistol."

"Appearance——Mechanical Kinetic type Revolver Handgun, temporarily unconfirmed if appearance can be changed."

"Method of use——Suspected to attack themselves in turn, like an ancient gambling game, but the target can be freely selected.

Uncertain if there is preferential treatment for the user themselves. It should be the cost of using this Weapon, fitting the characteristics of a Rule-Level Weapon."

"Known battle record: Erased Meditation's Pantheon in No Man's Land!"

Raymond entered the data with a solemn expression. Information of this level belonged to the highest secrecy, and only people of his tier could access it.

Accompanying the encapsulation of the Recording, this classified intelligence had been logged into the Star Glory Empire's highest Database.

Ted's face also turned very ugly, "An Interstellar Fortress is one thing, but how come Li Yu also has this kind of Weapon. Isn't the Dimensional Camp afraid of the item being snatched?"

How could he know that this thing was completely single-use, gone after use.

The more Ted thought about it, the angrier he got, couldn't help but curse:

"Fuck, how can we fight this!? He'll take us out one by one with a single shot."

Raymond, however, shook his head, not pessimistic: "Using a Rule-Level Weapon is not that simple. To modify Cosmic Rules in a small area, one also has to bear a portion of the cost."

"The drawback of this method of taking turns firing is too great. One might accidentally kill themselves, and during this period, others can completely launch an attack."

"Meditation probably has absolutely no experience fighting this kind of Weapon, so they fell into a state of shock and uncertainty."

"Since he has already used it once, we don't need to worry too much."

After hearing this, Ted nodded somewhat blankly. Anyway, he heard the last sentence: as long as he didn't need to worry too much, it was fine.

………

Just as the Pantheon collapsed, in dozens of Star Systems immensely far from here, a large number of Believers engaging in prayer activities cried themselves hoarse, sensing that the Divine Spirit they worshipped had dissipated.

And Reinhardt, after a brief moment of being dumbfounded, was then met with overwhelming rage.

Where is my big, fat Pantheon!?

He came with bursting confidence, and before the operation even started, how did the Pantheon disappear?

The Pantheon, but the Superweapon they had exhausted all hardships to build, comparable to a conventional Interstellar Fortress, even much stronger than an Interstellar Fortress.

Such a loss was completely unbearable for Meditation, especially when they hadn't gained any benefits.

More importantly, the god statues on it. To make the Believers of those gods convert, they would need to spend an even greater cost.

In a word, the Believers cultivated with immense mental effort no longer had any value.

If they just left dejectedly like this, Meditation would probably immediately start on the path of decline.

Reinhardt focused his gaze on Horus. The instigator of everything was this guy in front of him.

Old grudges surged into his heart. Reinhardt only wanted to capture him; only then could he make up for their losses.

However, right at this time, Li Yu flipped his palm, and another Revolver Handgun appeared in his hand.

This scene instantly calmed down the nearly irrational Reinhardt. This thing again!

Even the Pantheon couldn't withstand it, let alone him.

Although the organization's losses were great, as long as he didn't die, there was always a chance.

Li Yu held the Revolver Handgun. Naturally, this wasn't an item produced by the System, just something he simulated through the Symbiotic Colonization Armor.

It was used to bluff people and had no substantive effect.

But others didn't know that, especially after he erased the Pantheon with a single shot. Reinhardt was now like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring, absolutely not daring to easily approach Li Yu.

"Your Excellency Reinhardt, I originally didn't want to make the atmosphere so On the Brink of War, but I have no choice..." Li Yu said in the channel.

Reinhardt was truly in a dilemma now. Attacking Li Yu, he was afraid of being killed.

But if he just left like this, the organization's losses were truly too great, which would threaten his position as Leader.

And it was even more impossible for Li Yu to take further action. After all, the Gun in his hand was just a bluff.

He didn't want to continue wasting his trump cards on Meditation. Wasting a [Revolver Roulette] already made his Flesh Hurts very much.

The situation strangely stalemated like this, time passing by.

Although they were stalemated here, the surrounding battlefield didn't stop because of their stalemate.

Instead, it showed a trend of intensifying. The strange dissipation of the Pantheon made many noticing factions raise their vigilance.

But most of their attention still had to be placed on the entire battlefield.

The Resistance Organization United Fleet was already extremely close to the Star Glory Empire's two Legions, and had already begun to strangle the high-tier lifeforms wandering outside.

"Prepare to dispatch the Apostle squad, fuck, these people are too arrogant." Ted looked at the armored pages flashing red on the screen.

Those were all lifeforms that had lost their Vital Signs or were even critically endangered, belonging to the two Legions.

The high-tier lifeforms of the two Legions were still too few compared to the entire United Fleet and other factions Fishing In Troubled Waters within it. Their momentum had already fallen into a disadvantage.

Although Raymond frowned slightly, he didn't say much about this command.

Subsequently, Ted continued: "In addition, tell Reinhardt through an encrypted channel that Li Yu's Weapon cannot be used easily, no need to be so apprehensive."

"If they don't mind wasting time, I do. I want to see what kind of Unexpected Trouble he can pull next, let Meditation test it for us."

At this moment, Raymond seemed to want to say something, but ultimately didn't open his mouth, still maintaining silence.

Ted letting Meditation test Li Yu completely aligned with the Star Glory Empire's interests; he had no standpoint to stop it.

Li Yu's expression was strange. This bro had been standing here for so long, neither attacking nor retreating. What exactly did he want to do?

And at this time, Reinhardt's expression changed slightly. Someone anonymously sent him a message. According to what it said, Li Yu's handgun wasn't that terrifying at all and there was no need to fear it.

Only, was it worthy of belief?

His expression flickered, glanced at his subordinates, and decided to give it a try.

However, just at this time, a majestic black shadow suddenly broke into this battlefield. He emitted an extremely powerful Aura, causing the surrounding warships to constantly issue High-Energy Alerts.

"Horus!?"

Reinhardt's expression changed slightly. He had delayed for too long, Horus had already finished handling his own matters.

"You want to attack Li Yu?"

Horus looked around, arms crossed, carrying an intense killing intent, his eyes crimson, looking Predatory and Ferocious.

"Did you ask for my opinion?"

He spoke these words incredibly domineeringly. The Aura on his body spread out in a ring, making many people unable to help but feel terrified.

"Why did Horus come back at this time." Codri frowned.

Under this situation, the people from the Dimensional Camp actually still hadn't appeared.

And Reinhardt, who had originally made up his mind, now somewhat wanted to back down.

"Old man Horus, although you left at a bad time, you came back at just the right time." Li Yu praised softly.

Horus snorted coldly, didn't speak, looking incredibly imposing. His body seemed to have returned to its peak period, looking down upon the heroes.

But right at this moment, the originally peak Aura rapidly leaked out like a balloon.

"Cough..." Horus opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. His face was full of astonishment, feeling his physical condition rapidly deteriorating, and a large number of Cells dying.

The injuries that had originally disappeared reappeared in his body.

His body staggered, seemingly unable to stand firm even In interstellar space.

Li Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"This... what's going on?"

Horus frowned tightly and said in a low voice in the channel: "Maybe Adams secretly plotted against me. I feel my body rapidly deteriorating. This time... it's probably dangerous."

Li Yu's expression was awkward, "Did you use the Potion I gave you?"

"Yes, it was indeed very powerful, rapidly..." Horus spoke halfway and suddenly realized: "It's... side effects?"

"Pretty much..." Li Yu nodded.

Horus wasn't too surprised. After all, the effect of that vial of Potion was truly too astonishing; having side effects was also expected.

"You should have told me in advance." Horus's gaze was somewhat resentful.

"Forgot, forgot..." Li Yu pulled out another vial of Potion and stabbed it into Horus's body again, forcefully injecting it.

His current physical condition was indeed not very good. Li Yu inserted the syringe with almost no effort.

"You gave me another shot!?" Horus gripped Li Yu's arm.

The side effects of one vial almost killed him. Wouldn't another vial mean instant GG?

"This vial is different, this vial has no side effects." Li Yu explained again.

"There's one without side effects..." Horus widened his eyes: "Then why did you give me one with side effects?"

"The one without side effects is more precious, you understand." Li Yu smiled "shyly" and said embarrassedly.
