Imp to Demon King: A Journey of Conquest Chapter 218 The Second Event: Divine Clash

A divine pressure crashed on everyone's limbs the mont they stepped into the golden do. They slowed as if invisible shackles wrapped around them.

"It's as if we're struggling in a swamp."

Achilles narrowed his eyes as he struck his spear into the ground.

"Co, Tromos Troias!"

Lightning rumbled and descended on his spear as a divine pillar cast ominous shadows over his face.

From it, his intricate and indestructible chariot manifested. The pounding of hooves colliding with air followed as Xanthos and Balius, the two divine horses, rushed to harness themselves.

Without wasting a second, he lept on it and seized the reins, his voice thundering.

"Co on. We won't win by fighting alone!"

Although he would have preferred a duel, his desire for glory wavered. Without Adam's chaotic contract, Zeus' leash would tighten around his neck again, and his goal to defeat him would vanish like a mirage.

Karna lept on the chariot and patted his trembling shoulder, his warm smile contrasted by the two suns burning intently in his eyes.

"We won't let Zeus have his way. We won't let Adam die, either." His Vijaya bow ford in a flash of golden light, solar arrows condensing on the bowstring. "I vow it on my father's na, Adhiratha."

As his voice rumbled amidst the divine energy's hum, rlin and Wukong joined them on the chariot.

However, Wukong's brows creased as his hand shot to rlin's collar. Gripping it, he gritted his teeth and pointed at Heracles' golden veins and expanding fra. Read the latest on empire

"Look at him! Your plan is a fiasco!" He held rlin outside the rushing carriage, his fingers twitching. "I told you I'd kill you if you lied."

rlin raised his hands, his firm eyes eting Wukong's.

"Perfect plans don't exist when gods are involved. You know it better than anyone, Sun Wukong. The ti isn't for inner strife, so let's proceed like this: we kill Heracles first, then you kill if you're unsatisfied by the outco."

"Humph."

Wukong shoved him against the railing behind him and crossed his trembling arms over his chest.

"Heracles' strength and resilience were already on par with gods. With Tyr's hand's ability to slow us down and empower him, he's covering for his weaknesses." His knuckles whitened around his staff as defiance lded with despair in his voice. "He's on the level of a major god now. I can't defeat him alone."

He turned to Karna, Achilles, and rlin.

"I won't let him get past no matter what happens, so watch for an opportunity to kill him."

A golden headband appeared on his head as his eyes darted to Adam, softening despite the critical situation.

"Knock out this troubleso little brother and keep him safe."

Without waiting, he lept down from the rushing chariot as the three remaining seals blocking his powers shattered like threads.

Divine qi rushed to his limbs, and the air humd with the scent of the immortal peaches as his layers of immortality returned to his tensing limbs.

He gripped a handful of hairs and blew his qi and essence on them.

Before they could drift to the ground, they shifted and grew into hundreds of perfect replicas, each sharing his equipnt and strength but not magical abilities.

Simultaneously, a veil of fog obscured his features as his body transford. Scale-like stone covered his growing limbs as his staff mirrored his new size.

Soon, he towered higher than the gasping Jotuns, matching Heracles' gigantic transformation.

His voice thundered next as he pointed his Ruyi Jingu Bang in his adversary's direction.

"The heavens could not bind , hell could not contain , and no mortal or immortal has ever broken my will! Shall we begin, or will you bow before the Monkey King to save yourself the humiliation?"

As his voice thundered, Heracles' eyes snapped open. Two beams of divine light pierced through the battlefield as his shoulders trembled in amusent.

"Hahaha! I never refused a fight. Let send you to the underworld, monkey."

The ground rumbled under his forceful stomps. His arm, a mountain of muscles, moved like a speeding train, causing the wind to roar.

BANG

A deafening storm rose as the fist collided with the staff.

The poor demons below trembled as furious gales propelled them hundreds of ters away. Yet, they couldn't avert their eyes from this battle, not when Wukong shockingly gritted his teeth and slid back under the fist's pressure.

anwhile, Achilles drove his chariot to Adam while rlin isolated him in another space with his mana.

Then, the divine horses galloped into the air, above the hundreds of replicas and behind Heracles' head.

"Strike simultaneously!"

rlin's urgent voice ripped through the air as his mana roared in his staff.

Achilles hurled his Pelian Ash Spear while Karna fired a barrage of solar arrows that vaporised the air.

The clones punched, thousands of eastern dragons made of pure qi roaring toward Heracles' giant back.

Finally, rlin coughed up blood, yet his eyes sparkled with determination as his voice thundered.

"Shard of Anathema!"

A chaotic void, loaned by Tiamat and predating creation, assembled in front of him into a replica of Excalibur. The wind raged and swirled around it as he made it spin before he hurled it at the colossus' neck.

All the attacks drew colorful arcs in the air before they collided with the giant.

BOOM

A sparkling pillar of energy engulfed Heracles' body, freeing Wukong from the pressure, as he, too, joined in the attack.

His hands trembled around his staff as he swiped it at the pillar, determined to crush the adversary threatening his newfound ho and companions.

However, a hand cut through the scalding pillar and gripped his Ruyi Jingu Bang's blunt edge, stopping it cold.

"Hahaha. That's it?" Heracles' voice rumbled as he blew the energies like a re cloud of dust, revealing his unwounded body. "I expected more."

He twisted the staff, snatching it from Wukong with brute strength. In the sa movent, the wind roared behind him as he aid his new club at the pathetic ants who dared to strike his back.

Achilles reacted first, his hands flinging the reins urgently for his horses to move.

Yet, they trembled under the mountain collapsing on them, too scared to take a step.

"Move!"

He roared against the wind pressure as despair clawed at his heart.
