Chapter 385: Unsealing

This revelation left everyone present stunned. They certainly didn't think Yang Chen was bluffing. The terrifying aura of this Oleron was already beyond their ability to withstand!

In the massive space of the aircraft carrier base, the sheer anger of this man generated immense pressure out of nowhere. Everyone felt their internal organs being compressed, and a force seemed to be pushing them away!

Yang Chen was the focal point of all this pressure. Although Ares' aura couldn't cause physical harm, it was already a signal for battle.

"Damn it! Isn't he Oleron? Why is he the God of War? I've never heard of this before!" Dali Molo roared.

"He took so much money from us, why are we being oppressed too?!" the Shura woman screeched.

The Great Brahma King's agate prayer beads flashed a red light, barely resisting the surrounding pressure and providing some relief to his subordinates. "Whatever the reason, things aren't as simple as we thought. Sandstorm's acceptance of our hire and involvement in this mission must have been a ploy to seize the divine stone. They're using us!"

This realization left the other Brahma members pale. They had just seen the divine stone and thought their grand goal was within reach, only to become stepping stones—or even cannon fodder—for others!

Cai Ning gazed at the two young men facing off not far away, recalling information about the God of War, Ares. She whispered to Yu Ji and Master Yunmiao, "According to legend, Hera touched a flower on the 'Oleron Plain' and gave birth to Ares. That's probably why he used 'Oleron' as his name."

"How did things come to this?" Yu Ji said bitterly. He had thought his martial arts, while not the absolute pinnacle, were formidable. But after coming down the mountain, he was intimidated by Yang Chen, failed to defeat the Brahma members, and now faced a main god whose mere presence was overwhelming.

Ares sneered, "New Hades, is this all you can do, just endure? Where's your aura?"

Yang Chen turned to Cai Ning and the others, "You need to get as far away from here as possible. Don't act on your own; leave everything to me."

Seeing Yang Chen's serious expression, the three knew he wasn't joking. If Ares' mere presence was this hard to withstand, then Yang Chen, as a god of the same level, would also emit a similar aura. If they clashed, the three wouldn't be able to bear it! Though curious about what an unsealing battle between gods would look like, they didn't dare linger and quickly fled towards the aircraft carrier base's exit using their light-footed skills.

"We should go too!"

The Great Brahma King shouted and dashed towards the base's entrance, with Heitian, Shiva, and the other Brahma elites following closely behind, eager to leave this dangerous place. They had no time to care for Lin Zhiguo, who was unconscious and tied to a chair on the high platform.

They realized that the gap between their strength and that of the main gods was too vast. Although they could use hostages to threaten Hades, they couldn't control this newly arrived God of War!

"I've waited so long to unseal; do you think I'll let you run?" Yang Chen's cold voice suddenly appeared in front of the Great Brahma King.

The fleeing Great Brahma King looked up, only to see Yang Chen already blocking their path. His speed was terrifyingly unmeasurable, and his ordinary face and figure now seemed like a towering mountain pressing down on them!

Yang Chen, like Ares, had completely unleashed his aura.

"Hades! If you dare to act, I will immediately use my mental power to order those two Sandstorm warriors to kill your family! They have my mental seeds planted in them, and I..." Heitian began to threaten Yang Chen, but before he could finish, he disappeared into thin air!

Yes, disappeared into thin air!

The once arrogant Heitian had no chance to resist and was completely erased from the world without warning.

"It's spatial destruction!" the Great Brahma King exclaimed in a trembling voice.

The other Brahma elites were equally terrified. They couldn't comprehend how Heitian had vanished; it was beyond magic.

"So, you even know about this ability?" Yang Chen's eyes flashed coldly. "If you had taken the divine stone and left quietly, I wouldn't have bothered to kill you. With the divine stone, you would attract others' attention, saving me the trouble. But you chose to threaten my family, making it hard for me not to kill you."

In the distance, Ares watched the standoff between Yang Chen and the Brahma group, uninterested in intervening. He shouted, "Hades, stop wasting time and get rid of them. My fists are itching."

The Great Brahma King, his face flushed with anger and fear, knew his life was on the line. He shouted, "Everyone, don't panic! Help me defeat this man. If he's a god, we'll kill him too!"

With that, the Brahma members understood the Great Brahma King's intent. They all threw their weapons towards him simultaneously!

The Great Brahma King tossed his agate prayer beads into the air. They ignited into a flamboyant red flame, absorbing and burning all the thrown weapons!

In just a moment, the flames exploded with a roar, and a huge, pale gold, light-formed monster emerged from within! The creature had a head full of snake hair, eight arms, and four faces. Each hand held a different weapon—exactly the weapons that the Brahma group had been wielding earlier, such as the vajra, conch, trident, divine disc, and scimitar. The entire body of the light monster was engulfed in raging green and purple demonic flames, and it was mounted on a beast that resembled a snow lion.

Yang Chen clicked his tongue in admiration, "Finally, I've been waiting. I heard that Brahma's strongest technique is summoning the 'Durga' goddess through secret methods. I thought you were too focused on escaping to use it. Luckily, you did. Now I can give you a quick and satisfying death."

"Hmph, Goddess Durga will surely vanquish you demons!" The Great Brahma King, having completed the summoning, appeared extremely weakened but still shouted defiantly.

According to ancient Indian mythology, the Bull Demon King of the western heavens was a formidable demon who drove Indra and other gods out of the celestial palace. With the combined efforts of Brahma, Shiva, and other gods, the Durga goddess was born from flames of resentment, and she was armed with powerful divine weapons given to her by all the great gods, easily defeating the Bull Demon King. Thus, the Durga goddess was regarded as the strongest entity in ancient Indian mythology.

As the gigantic luminous form of the Durga goddess approached, brandishing her trident and crescent blade, Yang Chen stood still, neither dodging nor flinching.

Just when everyone thought the weapons were about to strike Yang Chen, they were shocked to see the Durga goddess suddenly appear behind Yang Chen!

"Boom! Boom!"

Two loud bangs echoed as the ground split open with two deep cracks, the force cutting through the steel plating and shattering the granite floor. However, Durga's attacks inexplicably missed!

The blade, which had clearly been aimed at Yang Chen's head, had suddenly shifted to behind him!

"Is it spatial folding?!" The Great Brahma King's face turned pale as he finally realized how helpless the situation was.

Yang Chen was done playing, "Alright, like your good buddy Heitian, time to disappear."

Without waiting for the Brahma group to respond, the space underwent another transformation!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

A series of cracking sounds echoed as the bones of the Brahma elites, including the Great Brahma King, were all inexplicably severed at the waist. All of them fell to the ground simultaneously, their faces still frozen in panic. Then, their lower bodies collapsed slowly, forming a stream of blood that stained the floor.

"Spatial fracture..." the Great Brahma King muttered his last words before dying with his eyes wide open.

With the death of the Brahma members, the Durga goddess dissipated as well, and all the weapons fell to the ground.
