Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 246 The Madness of Nicardo

About two minutes later.

Under the overwhelming offensive of Lin Qiong and Xing, the Heavenly Punishment followers who had originally occupied the Suspended Peak Arena had been almost completely wiped out.

At this moment, the vast arena was completely empty, with only the ground, washed by flames, still radiating a little warmth.

Lin Qiong stood in the center of the arena, planting the Jiemie upside down into the ground, his gaze slowly sweeping over every corner of the arena.

After confirming that he had not missed any of the divine punishment's followers, he slowly let out a deep breath.

At this moment, the others gradually arrived from their respective directions and eventually gathered again around Lin Qiong.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Qiong put away the Calamity Annihilation he had planted in the ground, then turned his gaze to Wan Di and asked:

"It seems Nicardoli isn't here. Where do we go next?"

“Only the Soul Forging Zone remains.” Wan Di looked up at the giant sword floating high in the sky and said calmly, “The Blade of Heavenly Punishment is currently activated, and it is most likely guarding that spot.”

"The passage is right behind you, follow me."

......

Suspended Edge City, Soul Forging Zone.

Led by Wan Di, the group passed through a rusty gate and stepped into the ruins that seemed to have been licked by the flames of war.

As soon as they entered, the oppressive feeling they had experienced in the Cloud Stone Palace returned to Lin Qiong and the others.

However, compared to the Marble Palace, the sense of oppression here seems even more intense and even more insane.

The persistent murmurs echoing in their minds were like poisonous insects, relentlessly gnawing at their sanity.

Hearing the voice in his mind, Lin Qiong felt an uncontrollable, nameless rage ignite in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, a crazy impulse surged into his heart, and he unconsciously wanted to pick up a weapon and slash at all living things in his field of vision.

It was as if only in this way could they vent their inner anger.

However, this strange feeling lasted for less than two seconds before disappearing without a trace.

"...It's happening again."

Lin Qiong frowned slightly, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

Just like the time at the Cloud Stone Palace, the eerie murmur only echoed in his mind for half a second before disappearing.

It was as if the sound was being blocked by something.

After much thought, Lin Qiong could only attribute the reason why he was unaffected by the sound to the system.

Then, Lin Qiong turned his gaze to Dan Heng and Xing, only to see that the two of them had furrowed brows and pale faces, clearly having been affected to some extent this time as well.

However, compared to their condition when they were in the Marble Palace, their current condition is significantly better.

“Nikadory is hiding behind that door.” Wan Di glanced at the crowd and coldly warned, “Once you push open that door, there’s no turning back.”

"We face only two outcomes: either reason is consumed by the madness of 'conflict,' or we reclaim the flame of 'conflict' and seize victory!"

"Are you... ready?"

Bai E drew his gleaming sword from its sheath and stared at the tightly closed door before him:

"Of course, I'm always prepared. Bearing the flames of 'conflict'... is my lifelong aspiration."

Lin Qiong summoned the Calamity Annihilation Technique in his hand and nodded slightly to Wan Di:

"Open the door. I will let Nicardi's true form savor the sword strike that he couldn't unleash on the Marble Palace."

With a loud "boom," the heavy door in front of them was slowly pushed open by Wan Di.

In an instant, an aura mixed with madness and chaos swept over them, engulfing them like a surging tide.

"Kill...kill...kill!"

The frenzied whispers echoed continuously in the quiet space, constantly assaulting Lin Qiong and the others' sanity, as if urging them to fall into the abyss of madness.

On the central circular platform, Nicardoli, several times larger than the previous clone and resembling a mountain, lay quietly dormant.

Seemingly noticing someone approaching, He slowly straightened up, grasped the golden spear beside him, and let out a deafening roar to the sky.

"Rotten God! Come and meet your end!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Di instantly entered battle mode, and crimson energy erupted from his body like a volcano.

Before Nicardoli could make a move, Wan Di appeared before Him in a flash.

"Drink!"

Wan Di's right fist tore through the air, and the crimson energy wrapped in his hand vaguely transformed into a burning lion's head, which blasted straight toward Nicardoli's face.

However, Nicardoly, being the most powerful of the twelve Titans, had long since lost his mind and fallen into madness.

But when faced with a sudden attack from all enemies, the remaining fighting instincts in His body still allowed Him to react quickly.

"boom!"

The powerful punch from Wan Di was perfectly parried by Nicardoli's raised golden spear, but the immense force still dragged his mountain-like body backward several meters.

It is easy to see that Wan Di's punch, in terms of both power and speed, was almost entirely aimed at killing the opponent in one strike.

"Again!"

Seeing that the punch had no real effect on Nicardoli, Wan Di immediately threw a left fist wrapped in crimson energy at Him.

Conicadori had already ignited his fighting spirit during the previous exchange.

With a roar, His body spun rapidly like a top, displaying a speed disproportionate to His enormous size.

To everyone's astonishment, Nicardoli twisted Wan Di's fist with an extremely bizarre movement, and at the same time threw the golden spear in his hand.

"Wan Di, get out of the way!"

Upon seeing this, Bai E's pupils constricted sharply, and he cried out in alarm to warn him.

But it was too late. The golden spear, like a golden lightning bolt, pierced through Wan Di's chest at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, carrying him backward at great speed, and finally crashing heavily into the door frame.

"Nikadori, your opponent is me!!"

Seeing this, Bai E roared angrily, dragged his sword behind him with both hands, and quickly approached the huge white figure in front of him.

When he was still a few steps away from Nicardoli, Bai'er leaped up, raised his gleaming sword above his head, and then slashed it down at Nicardoli.

Faced with Bai Er's fierce slash, Nicardoli, who had temporarily lost his weapon, could only raise his arm to block.

"Clang!"

The sword struck Nicardoli's arm, sending sparks flying and a sharp metallic clang echoing through the air.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Danheng and Xing seized the opportunity and flanked Nicardoli from both sides.

The flaming spear and the cloud-like attack, enveloped in a gentle breeze, advanced side by side, piercing Nicardoli's chest with the force of thunder.

Perhaps sensing the pain, Nicardo let out a roar filled with rage.

In an instant, golden energy erupted from His body like a torrent, instantly sending the three people nearby flying backward.

"Qiong, it's up to you now!"

Xing, who had been blasted away, did a beautiful somersault in the air and landed steadily on the ground. Then she shouted loudly at Lin Qiong.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong looked at Nicardoli, who was waving his arms wildly and erratically, as if he had fallen into a state of frenzy.

With a calm expression, he slowly raised the Destroyer in his hand above his head, took a deep breath, and uttered a low shout:

"Heavenly Fire, unsheathe!!"
