Chapter 491: Chapter 28 Thank You for Abandoning Me (4.7k)
Actually, based on Commander Hippomenes’ defection during the Beast Disaster and a series of previous mysteries, Luo En had begun to suspect the King of Arcadia.
With the Royal City succumbing in the blink of an eye, the answer was on the verge of revealing itself.
—The King of Arcadia, even if not the mastermind, was undeniably complicit in this catastrophe!
Although Luo En could decide the King of Arcadia’s fate on his own, after all, he was Atalanta’s biological father.
To consider his student’s feelings and to avoid any estrangement between them, Luo En chose to bring her along to personally inform her of the truth she deserved to know.
And then, there was no need for the farce of a father-daughter confrontation to unfold; it was better to leave that task to her teacher.
...
Just as Luo En made up his mind, preparing to confront the aberrant King of Arcadia, his shoulder was heavily clutched by a hand, and a deep voice rose in his ear.
“Teacher, let me do it!”
“He is your father...”
“I know.”
Atalanta nodded, took a deep breath, and looked indifferently toward the twisted, swollen figure on the dais.
“So what? As a father, he gave me life but did not raise me; as a monarch, he ruled the people but did not love them... In any role I face him, I owe him nothing!”
“So...”
“I will end him with my own hands!”
Atalanta stepped forward, bow of the heavens in hand, lost in solemn thought.
“Since this disaster began with him, let it end with him as well. To resolve the Beast Disaster and to send him off respectfully on his last journey, that’s the only thing I, as a daughter and an Arcadian, can do for him at this moment.”
At Luo En’s hesitation,
“Are you sure?”
Atalanta looked up at the figure rushing towards another battle at the end of the palace, drawing the bow of the heavens, the cold arrow aimed at the tyrant below, lost in solemn thought.
“Come on! Don’t keep me too long, because I don’t want him to fight alone up ahead.”
“Roar!”
The King of Arcadia, gradually losing his human form, furiously rose and lunged at his daughter, who brought him shame and resentment.
The battle between father and daughter, king and citizen, thus erupted!
~~
At this moment, in front of the Astrological Observatory,
Blood red rain began to fall from the sky, the molten-like red-black Divine Liquid drenching the Royal City, constantly branching out into mycelium-like red-black lines, and visibly eroding and transforming this land’s essence into the Netherworld.
Countless surging breaths of death and forcefully extracted spirits’ lights coalesced into a hundred-headed dragon in the sky, roaring incessantly.
Above the flickering light of the astrological pattern, Hermes Cultists and Cult of Erebus worshippers saw this scene, their faces lit with obsessed and fanatical smiles, their gazes growing dull and reverent as if beholding the monarch they served.
How pitch-black! How magnificent! How invincible!
“Gods, arise!”
As the worshipers’ minds wavered, they raised their arms, chanting and cheering in unison like marionettes, offering up all they had to the lord of the Abyss.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dozens of bodies crumbled and burst, turning into mists of blood, flowing back into the sky, staining the brilliant starlight scarlet.
In the center of the Astrological Observatory, the figure bathed in blood and sacrifice raised its hands into the void, pulling the starlight and the life spirits from the heavens into its body, throwing back its head in a hearty and exhilarating laugh.
