Chapter 1847: One vs an army
"Attack with everything you have!" the Godslayer Human roared, his voice thunderous, crackling with fury and divine pressure.
As he spoke, a colossal well of energy burst open behind him—an ethereal vortex of raw power that warped the air around it, erasing everything it touched. Reality itself seemed to bend in protest. A devastating aura radiated from the sigil embedded in his chest, and the skies above the fortress darkened in response.
Beside him, the Anima Machinarium wasted no time. Her skeletal form shimmered as she summoned a tide of shadow, an ocean of roiling, pitch-black death. The darkness pulsed with unnatural hunger and screamed with the voices of those long forgotten. Her aura coalesced into a monstrous serpent of death and decay, swirling around her like a primordial beast waiting to strike.
The rest of the Prima Deities moved without hesitation. Fear raced through their veins, but their discipline held firm. Cain Laurifer was not an opponent they could afford to underestimate. They didn’t know how he had suddenly appeared above their stronghold after a decade of silence. They didn’t know what he had become. But none of that mattered now.
What mattered was destroying him—here and now.
The very walls of the fortress groaned as dozens of divine weapons activated in unison. Massive cannons embedded in the towers flared to life, glowing with ancient inscriptions that pulsed like beating hearts. Floating platforms released lances of compressed starlight. Glyphs spun through the air, forming runic matrices that drew power from the core of the fortress itself.
Then, it all unleashed.
Blades of plasma, hammers of condensed gravity, spears of time-warped light—all soared skyward in a radiant storm of divine judgment. The sky transformed into a kaleidoscope of deadly brilliance. Each attack was potent enough to shatter mountains, obliterate cities, or even kill a Peak Prima Deity outright. The entire heavens seemed to ripple, groan, and ignite under the force of the barrage.
Cain Laurifer watched it all unfold with quiet resolve. He didn’t flinch. He didn’t dodge. He didn’t even alter his descent.
He simply pushed forward, eyes locked on the fortress below.
And then, the barrage reached him.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!"
