The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 617 - Final Duel Against Five Body

Han Wu had finally lured the Machine God Cult out of hiding. It was time to end them once and for all.

“Come on!” he roared, releasing his overwhelming pressure and showing them his strongest form.

The Five Body reciprocated Han Wu’s battle spirit. As they activated their Machine God parts, the scrap metal of the destroyed automatons converged around them. Even the massive automaton that had been the core of Black Park split into five streams of metal scraps that flowed toward the Five Body.

With the scrap metal, they each constructed their own mech. Their mechs towered at ten thousand meters tall, though each was distinct, likely dependent on their respective Machine God part.

Tou Nao piloted a mech with a disproportionately large head. Its head and body matched at a one-to-one ratio.

Xiong Tang piloted a mech that specialized in defense. It wielded two dense shields that could form a ten-thousand-meter-tall tower shield when combined.

Liang Ji piloted a mech that specialized in mobility. It had two huge wings that allowed it to fly even though it was ten thousand meters tall.

Zhuo Xing and You Jin piloted two identical-looking mechs, though closer inspection revealed a subtle difference. Zhuo Xing’s mech leaned toward agility with swift but shallow attacks. You Jin’s mech leaned toward offense with slower, more powerful attacks.

As twin brothers, they had impeccable synergy, a special connection that made it possible for their mechs to fuse. Their merged form was actually stronger than the other three cardinals combined.

The Five Body had revealed their true strength. After the completion of their mechs, massive Divine Rings appeared behind them. Their Divine Rings were made from an unknown material, but they all had the same effect of amplifying all mechanical functions by a hundredfold.

The buff from their Divine Rings had elevated each of the Five Body to Han Wu’s strength. It would be a lie to say that Han Wu wasn’t panicking against the encirclement of five World life forms.

Han Wu was also a World life form, but fighting against five other World life forms at the same time was a stretch even for him. The Five Body had the numbers. Han Wu's only chance was to deal with them one by one. Defeating even one of them would significantly lighten the pressure.

Glancing them over, he quickly decided his first target would be Liang Ji flying above. Liang Ji’s parameters were overall more balanced than the other four, and he didn’t have much going for him other than his flying capabilities.

Han Wu leaped up high and spread his sky-shrouding wings.

The Five Body attacked.

Tou Nao’s mech opened its jaws and fired a massive auto-tracking missile toward Han Wu. Zhuo Xing and You Jin merged their mechs to boost their speed and jumping strength, leaping up after Han Wu to knock him down. Xiong Tang clasped his shields together to prepare against any unexpected attacks. Meanwhile, Liang Ji flew around and tried to attack Han Wu from above.

Han Wu swiftly countered, gathering energy in his torso and belching a dragon breath at the missile. The breath was filled with Dark Energy that corroded everything it touched. The missile’s outer layer crumbled away, and its internal structures were destroyed, causing it to explode midair.

He then activated both his arms. Turning his left arm into its Cable Form, he tried to entangle Liang Ji, who was attacking from above. His right arm shifted into the largest laser cannon possible, allowing him to fire at Zhuo Xing and You Jin’s combined mech.

The instant the five thick cables successfully entangled Liang Ji, Han Wu activated Electrocute, channeling most of his energy into a massive electrical discharge straight toward Liang Ji’s mech.

Liang Ji’s painful howls echoed from within the cockpit of the electrocuted mech. Unfortunately for him, no one could save him in time, and he soon succumbed to the electricity.

His Machine God part turned into a small ember before merging onto Han Wu’s body. That was three out of seven parts in Han Wu’s hands.

The other four cardinals continued to attack.

Xiong Tang raised his massive tower shield to block the laser from hitting Zhuo Xing and You Jin. The two brothers then jumped up into the air before transitioning into a high kick as they neared Han Wu. The strength of their combined mech and the amplifying effects of their Machine God parts were powerful enough to kick Han Wu back to the ground.

The impact of Han Wu’s crash landing left a deep crater in the ground. As he stood up, he realized that his dragon wings had been injured. Blood dripped freely from them. It would take at least half a day for them to heal, and he had lost the ability to fly in the meantime. Thankfully, his only airborne enemy had already been dealt with.

Meanwhile, Tou Nao was still firing terrifyingly lethal missiles at him. Even Han Wu’s Black Dragon King body couldn’t withstand the onslaught of explosions, but dodging was difficult with Zhuo Xing and You Jin’s flurry of attacks. Their kicks were incredibly hard to avoid, and Han Wu was growing increasingly frustrated at his dire situation.

At that moment, Akanzor grabbed his older greatsword and tossed it toward Han Wu.

Having received Akanzor’s message through the strand of faith, he easily snatched the greatsword from the air with his claws. The greatsword was a God weapon, and under the influence of Han Wu’s Divine Points, it grew until it became large enough for him to wield.

Things became easier once he was armed. He used the greatsword to proficiently block Zhuo Xing and You Jin’s kicks, and even found the leeway to use Steelcutter from time to time.

Zhuo Xing and You Jin’s combined mech fell to the ground after suffering a series of heavy blows. Han Wu seized this chance to finish them off. Two more wisps of flame left their corpses and entered Han Wu’s body.

His legs, arms, and back were all imbued with parts of the Machine God. With five parts of the Machine God and only two more enemies, Han Wu couldn’t help but look down on them. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

However, he underestimated them. Landing the killing blow on the final two turned out to be more challenging than expected. The pair worked in unison, with one specializing in defense and the other in offense. Even with the God greatsword and liberal usage of Steelcutter, Han Wu still remained locked in a prolonged battle against them.

Tou Nao’s incessant missiles distracted him from Xiong Tang. At the same time, Xiong Tang’s powerful defense prevented him from attacking Tou Nao directly. After several bouts, Han Wu suffered several grievous injuries. If he didn’t defeat them soon, he could be the one to fall.
