Chapter 706: The Dragon Hunter Battle, Summoning the Gate of Eternity!
As the dust and smoke gradually dispersed, Lilith flew out once more.
At this moment, she looked noticeably disheveled. The arrogance and commanding presence she had shown at the beginning were almost completely gone.
"Captain Ryuunosuke, there is no irreconcilable enmity between us."
"If you go to the Path of God now and obtain the Seed of God, I will never stop you."
"Why must you stay here and waste your time on something so insignificant?"
"Your goal was never to kill me, was it?"
Lilith once again returned to negotiation.
And just like before, she was the one taking the initiative to seek terms.
The first time, she had tried to persuade Ryuunosuke to cooperate with her.
Then came her fusion with Eve.
And now, she was doing it again.
This time, the conditions she offered were even more generous than before.
After all, she had already stepped into the level of a false god. The weight of her words was no longer the same as it had been in the past.
Of course, that was only her own way of looking at things.
"Hmm..."
"Miss Lilith really is forgetful."
"I already told you. I will never cooperate again with someone who has betrayed me."
"Do you think I was joking?"
Ryuunosuke answered with a smile.
"Then Captain Ryuunosuke truly intends to kill me?"
After Lilith spoke, the aura around her began to shift.
Soon, the vines surrounding her body started turning white.
They shrank continuously toward her body.
The branches around her also vanished, leaving only the Spear of Longinus floating nearby.
Then, countless flesh wings grew out from behind Lilith.
It was a rather disgusting sight.
Still, the appearance of those fleshy wings clearly pushed Lilith's aura to an even higher level.
"Now that things have reached the point of no return..."
"Then let us test it."
"I want to see just how strong Captain Ryuunosuke truly is!"
As soon as Lilith finished speaking, she disappeared.
Boom!
When she appeared again, she was already right beside Ryuunosuke.
But the punch she threw was caught directly by Ryuunosuke.
Clang!
At the same time, the Spear of Longinus that shot in from the side was also blocked by him.
"I have to admit, Adam's ability is quite useful."
"Lilith, you..."
Tch tch tch!
Before Ryuunosuke could finish, the flesh wings behind Lilith suddenly fired out a dense barrage of bone spikes.
They pierced straight through Ryuunosuke's body.
Then the enormous wings wrapped around him completely.
The spikes stabbed inward again and again without restraint.
It was clear that blood was flowing out continuously.
Puff!
At that very moment, a huge hole suddenly opened in Lilith's head.
Although Lilith recovered in an instant, she knew very well that the attack had come from Ryuunosuke.
But Ryuunosuke was supposed to be trapped inside her wings now.
In other words, the one she was frantically skewering at this moment was not Ryuunosuke?
Realizing this, Lilith immediately spread her wings open.
Puff!
A blood drenched figure quickly retreated from within.
"What is that thing inside your body?"
"It stinks!"
"Bah!"
Ryuunosuke spat out a mouthful of blood and spoke with open disgust.
At the same time, the injuries on his body were recovering at high speed.
The Essence of Life surged quickly into his body.
That was right.
Ryuunosuke really had been trapped just now.
Moreover, there was a special energy inside those flesh wings that completely bound him, leaving him unable to break free at all.
But besides the large scarecrow Ryuunosuke had summoned earlier, there were also smaller ones.
And obtaining Lilith's blood was far too easy.
Even while enduring those spikes, he had still launched another curse against Lilith.
"Hey, if you two are just going to stand there watching, then at least move farther away."
"It's annoying having you here doing nothing."
Ryuunosuke glanced at Adam and Jay [the first generation] nearby and spoke bluntly.
"I do not know how to join a fight like this."
"So... I would rather watch."
Jay [the first generation] said helplessly.
After all, he genuinely had no idea how to coordinate with this kind of combat style.
"I... cannot win."
Adam answered just as directly, admitting without hesitation that he was not participating simply because he could not win.
There was nothing embarrassing about admitting that.
"Dragon Hunter Pirates, move out!"
Ryuunosuke gave the order directly.
Soon after, even Gaino arrived, controlling the Eternal Ark.
Six long blades floated directly above the Eternal Ark.
Gaino himself also stood high in the air.
"Eternal Heart?!"
"How is that possible? How can you possess the sixth Eternal Heart?!"
"And it can even be controlled?!"
Seeing the scene before her, Lilith was completely shaken.
The Eternal Heart was something that belonged to the gods.
It was not something ordinary beings should ever have been able to control.
Yet now, she was seeing those weapons forged from the Eternal Heart preparing to attack her.
The Eternal Heart was a weapon capable of reducing a god's origin.
"Oh, right. Let me show you a big surprise."
"Mr. Jay, this is something you wanted too, isn't it?"
After saying that, Ryuunosuke clasped his hands together.
"The Gate of Eternity!"
As Ryuunosuke's voice rang out, an enormous burst of energy erupted instantly.
"The Gate of Eternity?"
"This guy..."
Jay [the first generation] looked utterly stunned.
Originally, he had planned to talk about the Gate of Eternity only after he and Ryuunosuke found the Seed of God together.
After all, the five Eternal Hearts had already been in Ryuunosuke's hands.
But he had never expected that Ryuunosuke would now possess a sixth one as well.
That was right.
After Ryuunosuke brought Aruye back, Merlin had directly used Aruye's energy together with Ryuunosuke's power to quickly create the sixth Eternal Heart.
This purple red Eternal Heart surpassed the previous laws.
It was the Law of Divine Punishment.
With the appearance of the sixth Eternal Heart, Ryuunosuke had also obtained a new piece of information.
The Eternal Hearts were not energy sources at all.
They were god killing weapons.
That was why Ryuunosuke had such confidence now.
As the Gate of Eternity descended, the surrounding space and time were instantly sealed in place.
At the same time, the Red Line not far away also began sinking rapidly.
Then a path appeared directly before them.
"Lord Ryuunosuke, I have already driven them all away."
"There is no longer any support from the Sea Kings below."
At that moment, Shirahoshi arrived beside Ryuunosuke and reported quickly.
"Good. I understand."
"Shirahoshi, you did very well."
Ryuunosuke smiled as he praised her.
"Thank you for your praise, Lord Ryuunosuke."
"Shirahoshi is now a brave and free sea warrior."
Shirahoshi looked completely delighted.
After all, the person she had become today was entirely because of Ryuunosuke.
If Ryuunosuke had not taken her away from Fishman Island, she would probably still be that timid princess she once was.
"I'll be damned, I only said it in passing, but you actually dared to do it for real?"
"Do you even know what it means to open the Path of God right now?"
Jay [the first generation] spoke in shock.
"It means God may descend at any moment, doesn't it?"
"Even so, I am still confident that I can kill a god."
Ryuunosuke answered with overwhelming confidence.
After hearing those words, Jay [the first generation] could only cover his face.
Indeed, at this point, it felt like nothing could stop Ryuunosuke anymore.
At the very least, with the Gate of Eternity in his hands, Ryuunosuke had already stepped onto the same level as a god.
"Then what exactly are you planning to do next?!"
Jay [the first generation] asked in confusion.
