Chapter 579: Chapter 67 Funie
No one had ever imagined that a person blasted into a mist of blood could resurrect, step out of death, and achieve rebirth.
Therefore, Questasa was unprepared with any excuses or phrasing. Faced with Lu Hong’s sudden questions, Questasa had no choice but to truthfully explain.
It turned out that Lu Hong’s stepmother, Funie, as Konstantin had said, had been secretly stirring things up behind the scenes.
The Beastman Empire had also discovered the abyss of extre demons under the deliberate guidance of Funie. And many years ago, when Lu Hong had left his small village and t Nono, Funie had already been secretly recruiting and building an army in the northern dinsions.
As Lu Hong’s reputation grew, Funie decided to strengthen the ideological managent of these scattered soldiers, borrowing Lu Hong’s na and continuously indoctrinating them to beco die-hard fans of Lu Hong.
Thus, the foundation of the Blood-colored Divine Might Army was established.
Originally, Funie was still hesitant about how to bring this army to the forefront. Since she was using Lu Hong’s na, she often thought about how to persuade Lu Hong.
Therefore, after Lu Hong’s death, the most challenging task Funie faced was suddenly solved, facilitating the debut of the powder of the Blood-colored Divine Might Army.
Funie’s purpose was simple: to seek revenge against Tai’e. This Blood-colored Divine Might Army, built over many years, had only one goal: to behead Tai’e.
After hearing Questasa’s narration, Lu Hong couldn’t help but sneer, “Did that old lady think too much?”
Questasa smiled bitterly, “You shouldn’t speak that way about Princess Royal, Your Highness.”
“I haven’t even criticized her for being foolish yet,” Lu Hong said sternly, “To behead Tai’e, does she not know how powerful Tai’e is? Tell , how many warriors at the Third Transition Peak does the Blood-colored Divine Might Army have?”
“None,” Questasa shook his head, answering honestly.
“And the warriors at the late stage of the Third Transition?”
“Three individuals, each in charge of one of the three main legions of the Blood-colored Divine Might Army.”
“Just three late-stage Third Transition warriors, and you think you can contend with Tai’e? Not to ntion Tai’e’s promotion to demigod, even his original strength isn’t sothing three late-stage warriors can confront.”
“Young master, early on Princess Royal found a record of an ancient formation in the ruins that can harness the power of a hundred thousand souls to launch a god-killing strike.”
Harnessing the power of souls?
Lu Hong quickly thought of the Eagle Alliance’s top divine artifact—the Axis of the World, which uses the lives of soldiers as its driving force.
It seed that the formation Funie possessed was not much different from this divine artifact.
Lu Hong raised an eyebrow and asked Questasa, “What do you think will happen to the soldiers in the formation once it’s activated?”
“Most likely, they will die,” Questasa answered reluctantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Hong slapped Questasa across the face, knocking the old minister to the ground.
“Using the lives of a hundred thousand soldiers for revenge? Foolish!” Lu Hong roared angrily, his eyes red, “Disband the Blood-colored Divine Might Army imdiately! And don’t force to do it myself!”
“Young master, please no! This is all the hard work of Princess Royal,” Questasa quickly pleaded.
“Get out!” Lu Hong looked at Questasa with disgust. He had thought well of him before, not expecting him to be another vile creature indifferent to life.
Seeing that Questasa was reluctant to agree, Lu Hong nodded, “Fine, if you won’t go, I will. I’ll announce to the world right now that your Blood-colored Divine Might Army has nothing to do with .”
An army established in Lu Hong’s na, completely driven by faith in him—if that faith were destroyed, this army would crumble instantly, leaving nothing behind.
“Alright, don’t trouble him anymore.”
At that mont, a woman’s gentle voice ca from outside the door.
The voice was very tender, srizing.
And that hint of lody also evoked Lu Hong’s earliest mories.
Turning his head to look towards the tall figure at the door, Lu Hong grinned, “Long ti no see, Funie!”
Funie, walking gracefully, approached Lu Hong and said, “It really has been a long ti, my son.”
“Don’t, I can’t bear it,” Lu Hong sneered coldly. In his mory, Funie had never taken on the responsibilities of a mother. Only once, when he was nearly beaten to death by villagers before his journey here, did she intervene to help him. He wouldn’t have bothered eting her if this matter hadn’t been significant.
“But I am always your mother.”
Faced with Funie’s statent, Lu Hong laughed, “So what? Tai’e is still my father. If I acknowledge you, Funie, as my mother, should I also acknowledge that old man as my father?”
“You may recognize a thief as your father, but I won’t bla you.”
“And then?” Lu Hong said with sarcasm, “Then I watch you assassinate him? Where in the world is there a son who helps his mother kill his own father?”
Funie’s face finally beca tense, and she said darkly, “You’d better not interfere in this matter!”
“I shouldn’t interfere? Haha, should I just let you, a madwoman, do as you please? For personal vengeance, you’ve dragged an entire empire into war. Do you know how many people will die because of your personal resentnt!”
Lu Hong roared, “You want revenge, no one is stopping you, but damn it, if you use the lives of the innocent as chips, I won’t agree to it!”
“Indeed, you would be better off dead.” Funie, who had already fallen into demonic obstacles, had a chilling look. As soon as she finished talking, dozens of soldiers dressed in blood-colored armor rushed into the room and besieged Lu Hong.
Lu Hong sneered, “What? Annoyed into anger? Since I dared to co alone, I have ans to save my life. Do you think they can do anything to ?”
“Yes, the Divine Duke of the Sacred Empire, renowned far and wide. These ten n can’t take you down, but what about a hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand?”
As Funie spoke, the vast City Lord Mansion was completely surrounded.
Lu Hong walked out of the mansion calmly, looked at the soldiers in front of him, and said, “I am the Divine Duke.”
A bizarre scene unfolded. When Lu Hong announced his identity, the soldiers showed no reaction, their faces calm, so even blank.
Funie chuckled, “They don’t know any Divine Duke. They only obey my orders!”
Closely observing the expressions of these soldiers, Lu Hong felt a chill in his heart—Soul Water!
Grinding his teeth, Lu Hong asked Funie, “Have you sided with the Underworld?!”
“So what if I have?” Funie did not deny it.
anwhile, Questasa completely collapsed on the side. The Crown Princess sided with the Underworld? Betrayed the human race? This was too much for him to accept, yet he was powerless to refute it.
“You madwoman, do you know what you are doing?!”
“I know!” Funie burst into laughter. “Konstantin can’t help , neither will you, so who can help , I will side with. What’s wrong with that?”
After her rampant laughter, Funie pointed at Lu Hong and ordered, “Kill him!”
As soon as she finished speaking, countless soldiers picked up their weapons and attacked Lu Hong.
Lu Hong, who had just returned to the strength of the Second Transition Early Stage, had no ability to counter the late-stage Second Transition powerhouses enhanced by Soul Water. Dodging while calling for help, he said, “Big Brother, Second Brother, if you don’t take action now, I might just die again!”
“Don’t panic, Third Brother, Big Brother is here!”
“Second Brother is here too, don’t worry, you won’t die!”
The speakers were Augustus and Aragon, the two brothers who had sworn brotherhood with Lu Hong at the Power God Path.
After sealing himself off for a hundred years in the Power God Path and yet to comprehend the final skill, Augustus chose to leave temporarily, returned to his old ho, spent a few comfortable years with his wives, and when the human race was in trouble, Augustus thought about doing sothing, eventually deciding to join the empire and beco a general, responsible for leading troops in battle.
Coincidentally, he was also at the Unfallen Throne, and upon seeing Lu Hong, naturally followed him, secretly protecting Lu Hong.
As for Aragon, he was completely dragged out by Augustus from the Gold God Path.
Not to ntion Aragon, just based on Augustus’s overwhelming combat power, this group of late-stage Second Transition soldiers was completely no match.
Ever seen an iron-fisted, brutal space mage? Well, you have today.
A space mage who can endlessly shuttle through space, a punch that can burst a head, is an utterly chilling existence.
Every soldier who got close to Lu Hong was instantly hamred to death, not even getting a chance to block.
As for magical attack skills, they were perfectly blocked by the Holy Light Shield employed by Aragon.
Protected by two late-stage Third Transition powerhouses, Lu Hong was especially at ease.
After the threat was neutralized, Lu Hong turned and walked towards Funie.
Seeing her son approaching step by step, Funie panicked for the first ti: “What,,,,,what are you going to do? I,,,,,I am your mother,,,,,your mother!”
“You don’t deserve it!” Lu Hong had no patience for soone who regarded human lives as re weeds, and slapped her to the ground.
Then he said to Questasa, “Tie her up and hand her over to Konstantin later.”
According to Lu Hong’s temper, he would have drawn his sword and killed Funie on the spot, but considering she was ultimately his stepmother, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Better to leave it to Konstantin to handle.
