Chapter 266 Ragnarok, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Makes a Dazzling Appearance!
Four days later, in the Pacific Ocean, at Midway Atoll.
This small island, which once suffered greatly during war, has once again become the focus of the world.
The civilians on the island have long been evacuated, and in their place are broadcasting teams from various countries, official observers from various countries, and a dense array of warships.
China's aircraft carrier battle group is arrayed in the eastern waters, while the United States' aircraft carrier battle group is confronting it in the western waters. The Russian fleet is patrolling in the north, and the combined fleet of the Western alliance is gathering in the south.
More than two hundred countries around the world are watching this upcoming showdown.
Eastern mythology vs. Western mythology!
This is not merely a contest between China and Olympia, but a clash between two civilizations and beliefs.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sunlight shone on the sea, making it sparkle.
On the deck of China's aircraft carrier, Su Fan stood at the very front.
Behind him were Tang Sanzang, Yuan Qingsheng, Ma Tao, and Zhao Dabao, who had just recovered from his injury and returned to the team.
Further behind were two hundred elite Divine Warriors from China, all of whom were at least at the sixth rank. These were the Divine Warriors that China had gathered from across the country during this period of desperate struggle.
"Are you nervous?" Su Fan asked Zhao Dabao softly beside him.
Zhao Dabao swallowed hard; his legs were still trembling slightly, but his eyes were unusually firm.
"Nervous... but not afraid. Master Su, if I die today, you must erect a monument for me, with the inscription: 'Zhao Dabao, the Divine Master of China, died a worthy death!'"
Su Fan patted him on the shoulder: "You won't die. None of us will die."
He looked out at the distant sea.
At the ten o'clock position, seven figures rode the waves.
Leading the group was Zeus's charioteer, who was bare-chested, with muscles like a writhing dragon, holding a thunder scepter, and his eyes flashing with lightning.
On the left is Athena, the guardian of the gods, clad in golden armor, wielding a spear and shield, her eyes sharp as an eagle's.
On the right is Apollo, the God-Slayer, carrying a golden longbow on his back, with a quiver hanging at his waist, and a face as handsome as the sun.
Behind them are Ares the God-Keeper, Hephaestus the God-Keeper, Hermes the God-Keeper, and Venus the God-Keeper.
All seven Olympian guardians have arrived!
"Here it comes." Tang Sanzang put his hands together in prayer, and a faint Buddhist light emanated from them.
Yuan Qingsheng gripped the Gonggong Halberd tightly, while Ma Tao held the Zhurong Staff.
Zhao Dabao took a deep breath and gripped the magnifying glass of misfortune tightly in his hand.
This is the enhanced version that Su Fan redeemed from the system shop. It is ten times more effective than the previous one, but the side effects are also stronger. After using it, he will have diarrhea for at least a month.
But it was worth it!
The two sides faced off on the sea, about 300 meters apart.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy; even the sea breeze seemed to freeze.
"Su Fan," Zeus's charioteer spoke first, his voice booming like thunder, "Hand over the Nine Cauldrons, submit to Olympus, and I may spare your lives."
Su Fan smiled: "The man in black robes said the same thing."
Athena, the God-Slayer, said coldly:
"He is not our ally. But he was right about one thing! You cannot stop the coming of the gods."
"Then let's give it a try." Su Fan took a step forward, and the three cauldrons within his body appeared simultaneously.
The Jizhou Cauldron, the Qingzhou Cauldron, and the Yangzhou Cauldron floated above his head, their blue light intertwining to form a pillar of light reaching the heavens.
At the same time, Tang Sanzang chanted the Buddha's name, and Buddha's light soared into the sky.
The phantom of the water god Gonggong appeared behind Yuan Qingsheng, his aura of power spreading outwards.
Behind Ma Tao, the phantom image of the fire god Zhurong appeared, with flames raging into the sky.
Zhao Dabao then raised his magnifying glass of misfortune and aimed it at the seven people opposite him.
On the Chinese side, all combat power was on full display!
The expressions of the seven Westerners changed slightly.
They did not expect that China would still have such a powerful momentum after losing the Xuzhou Cauldron.
But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and it had to be released.
"Then let's fight!"
Zeus, the god-keeper, roared and raised his thunder scepter high.
boom!
The sky instantly became overcast with dark clouds, and countless bolts of lightning fell like a torrential rain, aimed directly at Su Fan!
"Good timing!"
Su Fan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead activated the power of the three cauldrons to the extreme, transforming the azure light into a barrier to withstand the lightning.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each bolt of lightning was powerful enough to split a mountain, but when it struck the azure light barrier, it only stirred up ripples.
"What?!" Zeus's charioteer's pupils contracted.
He knew Su Fan was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong!
"I'll do it!"
Athena, the Divine Guardian, took a step forward, her spear thrusting straight forward, its tip tearing through space with an invincible force.
Yuan Qing was moved. He swept his Gonggong halberd horizontally, and the towering waves transformed into thousands of water blades, sweeping towards the seven people in the west.
Apollo, the Divine Guardian, drew his bow and nocked an arrow; the golden arrow shot out like a meteor, colliding with the water blade.
Ares, the charioteer of the gods, wields a battle axe; Hephaestus, the charioteer of the gods, manipulates fire; Hermes, the charioteer of the gods, becomes a blur; Venus, the charioteer of the gods, releases bewitching light…
Seven people attacked at the same time!
China was not to be outdone.
The Buddha's light shone brightly, suppressing the alluring light.
Ma Tao's sword energy surged, clashing head-on with Ares's battle axe.
Zhao Dabao… He stared at the magnifying glass of misfortune, shouting with all his might:
"Fellow Daoists of Olympus—please! Wait! For!!!"
hum-
An invisible law of misfortune spread.
This time, the results were remarkable!
Just as Zeus's charioteer was preparing to unleash the second wave of lightning, he suddenly slipped and nearly fell into the sea.
Athena's spear, which was part of the divine arsenal, went astray and nearly injured Apollo who was standing nearby.
After Apollo's arrow was fired, it suddenly changed direction and flew towards his own fleet.
Ares' battle axe struck his own shield.
Hephaestus's flames set his robes ablaze.
Hermes suddenly slowed down, as if he had gotten stuck in a swamp.
The alluring light of Venus... backfired, and her own eyes glazed over for a moment.
Although it was only for a brief moment, it was enough!
"Now!" Su Fan roared, unleashing the full power of the three cauldrons.
"Three tripods suppress mountains and rivers—open!"
A blue light, like a sea, swept across all directions.
The seven Westerners, who had just recovered from their misfortune, were engulfed by a blue light.
They hurriedly activated their divine power to resist, but the power of the three cauldrons was so immense that the seven of them were forced back hundreds of meters!
"Damn it!" Zeus's charioteer's face turned ashen. "Awaken the gods! Now!"
The seven people simultaneously bit their tongues, spraying their blood onto the idols they carried with them.
next moment--
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three terrifying auras shot into the sky from beneath the sea!
The first strike, a thunderous roar, transformed into a giant phantom clad in armor and wielding thunderbolts—Zeus!
The second path, where wisdom and war coexist, transforms into the phantom of a golden-armored female war goddess—Athena!
The third aspect, a blend of allure and beauty, transforms into a goddess phantom shrouded in pink divine light—Venus!
The three Olympian gods have descended!
Although it is only a divine shadow, a god is still a god.
The moment their presence was felt, the entire sea trembled.
The waves have calmed, the thunder has ceased!
Everyone in Huaxia, including Su Fan, felt a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Finally... you've emerged." The phantom of Zeus spoke, his voice booming like thunder from the heavens. "Mortals, you are quite remarkable. But... this is the end."
He raised his hand, and lightning gathered in his palm, transforming into a giant lightning sword a hundred meters long.
If this sword were to fall, not only would Su Fan and his group be cleaved in two, but the entire Midway Island would be split in two!
"It's over..." a Chinese divine warrior whispered in despair.
"It's not over yet!" Su Fan gritted his teeth, pushing the power of the three cauldrons to their limit. "Master Xuanzang! Elder Yuan! Elder Ma! Give me a hand!"
Without hesitation, the four poured all their divine power into Su Fan's body.
The Buddha's light of Tang Sanzang, the water god's power of Yuan Qingsheng, and the fire god's power of Ma Tao, plus the power of Su Fan's three cauldrons, the four forces converged, merged and sublimated in Su Fan's body.
His aura surged, and he even faintly touched... the threshold of godhood!
"To compare oneself to the gods with a mortal body?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the phantom Zeus, which then turned cold. "Unfortunately, it's merely touching the threshold."
Thunderous greatsword, slash down!
Su Fan looked up, his eyes burning with fire.
He raised his hands to the sky, and the five forces within his body transformed into a five-colored pillar of light, meeting the giant thunder sword.
This is a collision where everything is at stake.
Just as the two sides were about to collide—
A languid voice suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
"Oh my, it's so lively! Why didn't you call me, Old Sun?"
Before he finished speaking, a golden iron rod crashed down from the sky.
The iron rod grew as soon as it was exposed to the wind, instantly transforming into a colossal pillar that slammed down onto the thunderous greatsword.
Click!
The Thunder Greatsword shattered.
The phantom of Zeus grunted and took three steps back, his eyes filled with horror.
Everyone looked up.
Above the clouds, a monkey with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth was squatting.
He wore a golden chainmail armor, a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, and held a Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff).
A pair of sharp eyes were watching down below with a mocking gaze.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven—Sun Wukong!
"Brother Monkey!" Pigsy's voice came from afar as he rode the waves, carrying his nine-toothed rake. "You've finally arrived!"
"Idiot, you didn't call me when you were fighting, that's not very nice." Sun Wukong jumped down from the cloud, landed next to Su Fan, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Kid, well done. Leave the rest to me, Old Sun."
He turned around, his golden cudgel pointing at the three phantom images of gods in the west.
"Come on, let me see what you Western Mao gods are really capable of."
At that moment, the entire venue fell silent.
The seven Western God Masters and three divine phantoms all turned deathly pale.
On the Chinese side, however, there was wild joy and excitement.
The Monkey King!
He really is the Monkey King!
That Monkey King who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and shattered the Heavenly Palace!
"Great Sage..." Su Fan's voice choked with emotion.
"Stop crying like a girl." Sun Wukong grinned. "I'll catch up with you after I've dealt with these fiends."
He took a step forward, and his golden cudgel swept across.
"Take this from my old Sun Wukong's staff!"
The battle broke out again.
But this time, the situation has completely reversed.
Sun Wukong fought alone against the phantom images of the three gods Zeus, Athena, and Venus. With each swing of his golden cudgel, the heavens and earth collapsed and the seas surged backward.
Pigsy and Tang Sanzang stopped the seven guardian deities and fought them off in defeat.
Su Fan and his group took the opportunity to rest and prepare to deliver a fatal blow.
And just when the battle was at its most intense—
The man in black robes finally appeared.
He emerged from the void, no longer holding the Haotian Golden Palace Seal in his hand, but the black aura around him was even denser, and his aura even more terrifying.
He watched the two sides locked in fierce combat, and two crimson dots flickered through the holes beneath the white masks.
"Everyone's here...good."
"Then let's be buried here together today..."
He formed a mudra with his hands and chanted ancient incantations.
As the incantation was recited, the entire Midway Island began to tremble violently!
In the center of the island, a jet-black beam of light shot into the sky!
Within the pillar of light, countless hideous demonic figures could be vaguely seen, struggling to crawl out!
"This is……"
Sun Wukong forced Zeus back with his staff, then turned to look at the man in black robes, a hint of seriousness flashing in his fiery eyes.
"The Nine Netherworld Abyss? You're insane! Opening such a place would destroy the entire Earth!"
"Destruction?" The man in black robes laughed. "No, it's rebirth."
"The old era is rotten and needs a thorough cleansing."
"And you... are the sacrifices."
He opened his arms, and the black beam of light rapidly expanded.
The demonic roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The real apocalypse has arrived.
Sun Wukong's fiery eyes blazed with golden light, and with a flick of his golden cudgel, a thousand-foot golden light, like the rising sun, clashed fiercely with the pitch-black pillar of light that shot into the sky!
"Idiot! Protect the younger ones!"
Without turning his head, Sun Wukong let out a fierce shout, and his figure transformed into a golden lightning bolt, heading straight for the man in black robes.
Pigsy wielded his nine-toothed rake, creating a curtain of water that shielded Su Fan and the others behind him, all the while cursing under his breath:
"That damned black-robed bastard actually dared to open the Netherworld Rift!"
At this moment, the demonic figure emerging from the dark pillar of light became increasingly clear.
With a blue face and fangs, bone spurs growing on its back, and black mist flowing like pus and blood all over its body, it is the most filthy demon in the Nine Netherworld Abyss.
They struggled and roared, a giant claw covered in rotting flesh had already grabbed the edge of the pillar of light, and it looked like it was about to break free!
The phantom of Zeus's expression changed drastically, temporarily halting his battle with Sun Wukong, and pointing his thunder scepter at the man in black robes:
"How dare you summon these filthy things!"
"filthy?"
The man in black robes stood beside the pillar of light, his voice raving madly.
"This is the true face of the world! You so-called gods are nothing but parasites who have stolen the authority of Heaven!"
Before they could finish speaking, Sun Wukong's golden cudgel was already at his face!
The man in black robes neither dodged nor avoided the attack; instead, he extended his right hand from within his robes.
Upon closer inspection, the hand was no longer human, but a demonic claw covered in black scales with hook-like fingertips!
clang--!
The explosive clang of metal clashing tore through the air, and blinding sparks flew from the point where the golden cudgel and the demonic claws collided.
Sun Wukong swayed slightly, while the man in black robes slid backward more than ten meters, with two huge waves bursting out on the sea beneath his feet.
"You've got some skill." Sun Wukong grinned, his eyes blazing with even more fighting spirit. "Too bad, not good enough!"
The golden cudgel was swung up once more. This time, dense ancient runes appeared on the cudgel's body. These were the demon-subduing mantras forged in Laozi's alchemy furnace!
The crimson light beneath the black-robed man's mask flickered violently, clearly indicating his recognition of the rune's power.
He crossed his claws in front of his chest, and black energy surged wildly around him, condensing into a black shield in front of him carved with thousands of painful faces.
"The Shield of Ten Thousand Resentments!" Tang Sanzang exclaimed in shock, "He forged this weapon with the resentment of living beings; his sins are immeasurable!"
In that split second, the first demonic claw that reached out finally broke free from the beam of light, and its nearly 100-meter-long decaying body squeezed out of the crack.
It roared silently to the sky, spewing out corrosive black rain from its twisted mouth, heading straight for the nearest Chinese fleet!
"not good!"
Su Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.
