Chapter 579: Stigma of Life and Death

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Justice" was a very special law, so special that no one except Austin ever managed to master it.

Even when Gu Nan launchedOrigin of Light on Earth, it actually only adopted the law of light and did not give players the "justice" part.

This laws effect was too strange, and it could do many incredible things. If it was handed over to the players, the entire games balance would probably be broken.

Austin could control this kind of law because he understood the essence of the law of justice, but at the same time, he was also restricted by "justice" and wasnt able to do many things. Players, on the other hand, would not have such restrictions if they were able to use the law of justice.

But since Austin paid such a huge price, the "justice" he mastered was naturally worth the cost.

He injured Yu Lian using an inconceivable method. And right now, he once again used "justice" in hopes of completely destroying Gu Nan.

The golden scale floated in midair. On one end was the pure, holy light shining brilliantly, and on the other end was the death scythe surrounded by death energy.

The two gods sudden pause startled everyone on the battlefield.

Daisy raised her head in astonishment and saw what the two were doing. Without even having to think, she fled the Divine Kingdom and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiu Po seemed to realize something and wanted to leave the Kingdom of Death as soon as possible but was hindered by the death energy and could not escape for a while.

After all, this was Baals home court. Once he completely ignored his own followers safety and concentrated on trapping his enemies here, he could still have some effect.

Baal was not only courageous, but also very greedy. Not only did he want to kill Gu Nan, he also wanted to get rid of Jiu Po once and for all.

Jiu Po had already witnessed the terrifying eruption of power from the intertwining of light and darkness once, and this time, it was another set of opposing laws.

Life and death.

Holy light could not only display the nature of "light", but also "life".

Austin and Baal both placed their weapons on either end of the scale as proof, but the actual price they paid was so huge that it was unimaginable.

Baal directly put his entire Divine Kingdom onto the scale and even took out most of his own Godhead. He could be said to be gambling with his life in this battle.

And what Austin gave was also not weak. He extracted all his laws pertaining to "life" and placed them inside this holy sword, just like what Lu Wen did to create Long Linger back then.

After this battle, no matter the outcome, Baal would lose his combat power for a long time, while Austin would lose all his understanding of the law of "life" and would need to start from scratch again.

The two of them paid quite a hefty price, but they naturally had considerable gains as well.

"We need to leave!" Jiu Po seemed to sense something. The power of the earth crazily slammed into the death energy, trying to smash open an exit, as he shouted at Gu Nan.

However, Gu Nan just stared at the intersection of life and death calmly.

When life and death simultaneously fell on either end of the scale, the holy sword and the death scythe slowly floated up and then slashed each other.

After the silent impact, an inexplicable shockwave erupted in the void, just like the Big Bang. All matter was thrown out wildly, and all laws could no longer exist.

Jiu Po didn't even have time to say anything before his figure was instantly annihilated.

Gu Nan didn't look any better either. His body was blown to pieces, and countless bits of flesh and blood were directly crushed by the shockwave while still in the air.

Austin had already withdrawn a long time ago. One of the parties involved in this collision of life and death was Baals entire Divine Kingdom, so it was impossible for the Divine Kingdom to remain intact after the explosion.

Jiu Po had completely disappeared without a trace. He was extremely unlucky. Though he was only here to help out, who wouldve known that hed encounter Austin and Baals powerful combination attack and suffer a big loss?

Even if he didnt die from this, his injuries would not be lighter than Yu Lians.

But be it Austin, Baal, or Daisywhod just arrived againthey only cared about Gu Nan.

"Is he dead?" Daisy glanced at the Divine Kingdom down below. There was no trace of life left. Instead, its state was alternating between life and death.

After the power of life and death erupted, the void where the Death Gods Divine Kingdom once stood was completely polluted. If any living being stepped foot here in the future, they would immediately be transformed into a half-living, half-dead creature.

Austin shook his head, then nodded. "We don't know yet. But even if he isnt dead, a fatal flaw has still been created."

"Hes not dead." Baal licked his chapped lips and grinned. "The Stigma of Life and Death has already been planted. Its up to you guys now."

As if to verify Baals words, the flesh and blood that had been evaporated gradually began to reunite in the void, re-forming Gu Nan's appearance.

While the greater gods still had a chance to completely kill him when Gu Nan was Tier 13, a Tier 14 Evil God could no longer be killed by normal means.

At least in the game, Gu Nan had never seen players being killed by NPC greater gods after reaching Tier 14. As long as they didnt court death, they could usually clear the game.

It would be a very difficult task for even Gu Nan to scheme and kill an existence like an Evil God, let alone the greater gods, who were entirely unfamiliar with Evil Gods abilities.

"Stigma of Life and Death?" Gu Nan looked down and saw a strange mark on his abdomen.

Hed never seen such a thing before. It was almost impossible for Austin to join forces with Baal inside the game, so the Stigma of Life and Death naturally wouldnt appear.

The last boss fight players normally had to face was when Austin directly joined forces with Daisy. Only with the abnormal development of the war between the two worlds would this bizarre current situation exist.

Baal disappeared in the blink of an eye after saying that, leaving only Austin and Daisy.

Gu Nan was not in a hurry to give chase. He still had some of Sylvia's blood anyway, so Baal couldn't escape. Instead, he was more curious about this stigmas effect.

Austin quickly told him the answer using the holy sword in his hand.

The holy sword accurately stabbed the stigma on Gu Nan's abdomen, and the stigma was instantly activated. Gu Nan felt a strange force coming from his body, affecting his entire body from the inside out.

Even the Evil God physique couldn't stop this power, which quickly spread throughout Gu Nan's body, transforming it into a strange state.

That was the state of "death".

The effect of the Stigma of Life and Death was to activate when hit by a certain amount of power, directly changing the targets state from life to death.

Gu Nan's body died instantly but recovered very quickly. It was clear that the stigmas power could not be maintained for long.

But for Austin, just this instant was enough.

Just as Gu Nan regained his ability to move, the holy sword struck the stigma again, and Gu Nan was once again transformed into a "dead" state.

Of course, it was only a second later that he was "revived" again, but this time, his death state seemed to last longer.
