Chapter 1187: Be My Demigod, Whitebeard!
Over on the azure sea.
The combat between Shiki and Freya had reached a climax, and it seemed it wouldn't be long before it drew to a close.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo was already waiting silently in the distance, holding the Benihisago.
At the same time.
Southwest of the azure sea, on the plain north of the Elbe Principality.
Edward Newgate and Emroy were still locked in fierce battle on this shattered, scarred earth.
The blade of Murakumogiri and the blade of the death scythe collided again and again.
Haki, divine power, tremor power, death lightning – these powerful supernatural energies.
Were like great armies clashing together.
Every minute and second, they wore each other down and shattered each other through impact and collision.
Rory Mercury, who was currently staying in the cloud layer, couldn't even clearly see the battle situation below, despite being at high altitude and looking down.
Red lightning, purple lightning, white light, and surging gale-force wind were intertwined, creating extreme chaos.
From time to time, she also had to avoid the deafening rumble that spread upwards and the shockwave that made her internal organs feel uncomfortable.
If she didn't possess a demigod body, she would have been severely injured long ago.
"There actually exists a human who can resist a chief god..."
Rory Mercury's nerves were already numb, and she muttered to herself with a somewhat listless gaze.
"No, the opponent isn't a normal human either. He's clearly a giant!"
Clang——————
On the shattered battlefield below.
Murakumogiri, enveloped in white light and carrying streaks of black-red lightning, heavily collided with the magnificent black scythe, which was also radiating electric flash and glowing with purple radiance.
Instantly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and air vibration occurred.
A vast qi energy swept across a radius of tens of kilometers, pushing out circle after circle of earth wave that rapidly spread outwards.
"Gurararara~ Your strength is not bad, woman!"
Newgate gripped the sword hilt of Murakumogiri with both hands, bending down to look at Emroy beneath him who was desperately blocking the blade with her scythe, and sincerely praised her.
Because in his opinion, Emroy's strength was no less than Charlotte Linlin's.
If it were five years ago, it would have been very difficult for him to suppress her like this.
"Hmph!"
However, Emroy didn't appreciate it at all, only finding the praise grating.
A mere giant mortal being condescendingly praising her strength?
Normally, she would have tortured and killed the opponent long ago and tormented their soul for over a hundred years!
Unfortunately, she couldn't do that now. Emroy's mood was extremely bad.
She was the god of darkness, death, judgment, madness, and war!
A chief god with five divine positions!
With this powerful divine power, she dared to fight alone against Hardy and Freya teamed up and was confident she wouldn't be at a disadvantage!
But now she couldn't suppress this guy in front of her?
Emroy's three views received a huge impact at this moment.
How could a mortal being resist a deity? She truly couldn't understand!
However, Emroy suddenly let out a chuckle and started laughing.
She looked so beautiful and moving, full of charm...
Unfortunately, Newgate ignored it and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you. You no longer have a reason to continue fighting!"
Emroy pushed open the blade of Murakumogiri, and her figure instantly retreated nearly a hundred meters backwards.
Newgate didn't hurry to pursue. He withdrew his weapon and asked again, "Why do you say that?"
Because he had realized that he couldn't defeat the opponent in a short time.
If they wanted to decide victory or defeat, they would probably have to fight for two or three days. A few moments for talk wouldn't make a difference.
"Why?"
"Of course, it's because you are no longer people of the World Government. You already belong to this Falmart World!"
Emroy held the blade in her right hand and covered her mouth with her left hand, laughing happily. Her laughter echoed throughout the entire field.
This caused Newgate to frown.
He subconsciously looked back towards the direction of the Hill of Alnus.
He understood her words.
To be honest, Newgate was absolutely unwilling to stay in this world.
His family and hometown were on that azure Sea Star World.
At this moment, Newgate prayed in his heart: "That Lord Im, you should have a way, right..."
Immediately, he withdrew his gaze and turned his head to stare at Emroy.
Instantly, a mass of white light containing tremor power reappeared in his hand on Murakumogiri.
"Didn't you understand?"
Seeing that this person still wanted to fight on, Emroy exclaimed with a face full of displeasure:
"You cannot go back. You will live in this world forever!"
After speaking, she showed a smile again and gently comforted him, "However, this goddess is very willing to accept you into the Order of Emroy!"
"Thirty-nine years later, I can also bestow divinity upon you and make you my demigod!"
"After another thousand years, when you achieve godhood, I can even give you the divine position of 'War'!"
At this moment, as the combat between the two sides stopped, there was naturally no more rumble.
Therefore, Emroy's words clearly entered Rory Mercury's ears in the air.
Hearing the keywords 'thirty-nine years later', her heart immediately relaxed.
Because she was already nine hundred and sixty-one years old this year, and in another thirty-nine years, she would be a thousand years old.
At that time, she would be able to let her soul leave her body, obtain the divine position bestowed by the world will, and become a newly promoted chief god!
But before achieving godhood, her divinity was bestowed by Emroy.
The latter could take it back at any time and bestow it upon others.
So Rory was truly just on tenterhooks.
She was afraid that she would hear from Emroy's mouth that as long as the opponent was willing to join the Order, she would immediately give the opponent divinity.
Because divinity is something that chief gods can only request from the world will once every thousand years.
Moreover, they don't necessarily obtain it.
This depends on whether the world will believes that new deities should appear.
So, divinity is also quite a rare thing for chief gods.
Even Emroy doesn't have extra supply in her hand...
It is worth mentioning that demigods actually also have a certain chance of not being able to achieve godhood after a thousand years.
If the world will thinks that the divine position a demigod hopes to possess is not suitable for the person themselves, it is possible for the situation of being rejected to occur.
For example, a certain demigod wants to become the god of archery.
But their archery level is judged not high enough, and moreover, their faith in the path of archery in their heart is also not devout enough.
Then the divinity within this demigod's body will be taken back, and their soul will vanish like smoke, not even having the chance for reincarnation.
Of course, this situation is very rare.
The history of the Falmart World has only had one example appear.
"Gurarararara~~~"
"Thirty-nine years later, how could This Old Man possibly live until that time!"
Edward Newgate was amused by Emroy's words.
"Aren't you from the giant tribe? Even if your lifespan isn't as good as the elf race, it should be several hundred years?"
Emroy said with doubt.
This world also has the giant tribe, but the population is very sparse.
The main reason is because there were not many from the giant tribe that came in when the gate was opened back then.
And for a long period of time, they suffered oppression from the flame dragon tribe.
Now there may not even be a hundred people, and due to living for many years in places rarely visited by humans.
Therefore, they long ago became a legend on the continent.
However, she is a chief god after all, so she naturally has more understanding regarding the giant tribe.
"Within this old man's body, there might be giant tribe bloodline, but I am not from the giant tribe!"
After speaking, Newgate narrowed his eyes, and the fighting intent in his heart ignited again: "Alright, let's stop the small talk here. It's time to decide victory or defeat!"
And this, in Emroy's eyes, became a manifestation of Newgate's resistance, thinking he had no hope of achieving godhood.
"Since that's the case, as long as you agree to join, I can immediately give you divinity!"
"Letting you possess a thousand years of lifespan and physical immortality during this time!"
As soon as the words fell, Rory Mercury above was as if struck by thunder, her entire person stood dumbfounded on the spot.
And Emroy below, clearly knew Rory was present.
But still waited for Newgate's answer expressionlessly.
Compared to Edward Newgate, Rory Mercury's value was clearly too low.
"Hmm, this is somewhat tempting..." Edward Newgate softly murmured.
However, just as delight flashed in Emroy's eyes, she heard him shout loudly.
"But compared to family, these things are worthless!"
"Therefore, This Old Man refuses!"
Before the sound fell, Murakumogiri in Edward Newgate's hand fell resolutely.
"Let's start the fight! Emroy!"
Boom!
Huge tremor power exploded in front of him along with the white light.
Streaks of hideous cracks and the cracking sound of shattering appeared in the air...
"Why?!"
Emroy's unbelievable scream sounded.
But she didn't see at all that Rory Mercury, whom she regarded as a sister and had been together with for nearly a thousand years before, was already in tears at this moment...
