Chapter 173 The Stream of Life, Devouring
Chapter 173 The Stream of Life, Devouring
Boom~!
With a single slash, Genesis was sent flying backward.
"Ah... Damn it, I have the protection of the planet's will, so who are you?"
Genesis got up and stood on the high platform, holding his greatsword high.
He roared angrily, and streams of green life flowed out from beneath his feet.
"You piece of trash, get out of here."
Sephiroth teleported in front of him and kicked him away.
He stands on the flow of life.
"Come, stream of life, roar with all your might!"
Sephiroth opened his body, and an endless suction force surged into the ground.
It directly absorbed this stream of life into its body, violently devouring it.
You, the will of a planet, have just joined forces with Genova to fight against me. Now I'm going to drain that part of your energy.
Boom~!
Powerful streams of life surged forth.
Genesis's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this.
"No, that's mine, mine~~~"
He rushed forward like a madman.
As a result, he was blasted away by a powerful force, followed by a whistling blade of energy.
It sliced through his body with a whoosh, and one of the black wings on his back was severed off.
Its only remaining wing is gone.
"Ah..." Genesis screamed, his body bursting with streaks of blue light.
Then his body exploded with a series of loud bangs, releasing countless rays of light before finally turning into dust and scattering into the air.
Only a clump of ashes remained on the ground.
"Calling you good-for-nothing isn't enough."
Sephiroth ignored it, focusing entirely on devouring the stream of life.
This is a good thing.
Engulfing cells can make them stronger, more active, and more vital, allowing them to live a long time.
After all, planets can live for a very long time, sometimes hundreds of billions of years.
If it were to devour the life force of a planet and drain it completely, it might be able to survive for hundreds of billions of years solely on the life force within its cells.
Moreover, this thing can be used to transfer energy to people, making immortality a matter of minutes.
At this moment, the planet's will became enraged upon realizing his actions.
A powerful will surged forth.
However, Sephiroth drove them back.
"Buzz~~"
The earth shook violently, and a rapid flow of life surged forth.
The planet's will promptly severed this life-giving flow, much to Sephiroth's displeasure.
"You're so stingy. What's wrong with me eating a little?"
He conveyed a thought to the person in dissatisfaction.
However, the planet's will arrogantly rejected the other party's attempt to communicate.
They even brought in Genova's mental entity, preparing for another great battle with him.
"I won't play with you anymore."
Sephiroth drained the life force, his body enveloped in a faint golden light that gradually receded.
He glanced outside; Zack had just opened the door and entered.
Swish!
Sephiroth vanished from his spot in a flash.
When Zack rushed in, he found the temple of the goddess empty.
There wasn't a soul in sight; Genesis was gone.
Only a clump of ashes remained, which blew onto Zack's face with a gust of wind.
"Ptooey~~" Zack spat.
He glanced around and shouted, "Genesis, come out here! I know you're here!"
Unfortunately, it was empty inside, and there was no response.
"What about people?"
Zack went berserk, furiously swinging his knife wildly.
... ...
Meanwhile, Shinra Corporation has amassed a large number of soldiers.
They even dispatched helicopters, preparing to capture Zack and the others alive.
The team leader for this operation was Sisni.
"Sisni, this time we must capture them alive."
A man in a suit gave a serious explanation.
"Don't worry, I will."
Sisni waved her hand without turning her head.
She strode onto the helicopter.
Watching the helicopter depart, the man in the suit muttered to himself, "It has to succeed. They're in your hands now."
"Are you looking forward to it?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
The man's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly turned around to look.
"Sephiroth?"
The man's expression changed drastically when he saw the newcomer.
Sephiroth looked at the man in the suit in front of him.
The director of Tekes once...
"Zeng, I'm giving you a choice: obey me, join me in destroying Shinra, and build a harmonious world."
Sephiroth's opening remarks stunned Zeng.
No, are you serious?
"You also want to betray Shinra?"
Zeng's expression changed drastically, and he gripped his weapon warily, staring at Sephiroth in front of him.
This is Shinra's number one warrior.
"It seems you've chosen to be loyal to Shinra to the death. Then you shall be buried with Shinra."
Sephiroth shook his head, drew his Tang sword, and suddenly appeared beside Zeng.
"When?"
A flicker of fear crossed his face, and he instinctively wanted to resist.
Unfortunately, it was as if some force was pressing down on him, not only making him unable to move, but also making everything around him seem to slow down.
Buzz~!
With a swing of his sword, Tang was about to slice through Zeng's neck.
"Wait—" he shouted with all his might.
The Tang sword stopped right at his neck, its sharp edge piercing through his body; a second later and his head would have been severed.
He broke out in a cold sweat, staring in terror at Sephiroth beside him, whose eyes were icy cold.
"Tell me your last words!"
Sephiroth's voice came through.
Zeng regained consciousness and hurriedly said, "If you want to kill the high-ranking officials of Shinra, I can help you."
"Okay, remember what you said."
Sephiroth nodded slightly, sheathed his sword, and walked inside.
Zeng then collapsed to the ground, cold sweat pouring down his face.
He felt that Sephiroth seemed even more terrifying. Before, he could at least exchange a few blows, but now he didn't even have a chance to make a move.
At that moment, Zeng admitted defeat.
"Take me to see the Shinra executives."
Sephiroth's voice came from afar.
Zeng stood up with a wry smile and immediately followed, saying, "Aren't you afraid of being purged by the higher-ups for doing this?"
"Afraid?" Sephiroth scoffed. "If you kill them all, who will settle accounts with me? You, or someone else?"
"..."
I was speechless; you're right.
If the Shinra high command is wiped out, who will settle accounts with him?
Who has the ability to take down Sephiroth, the most powerful warrior of all?
Tekes?
Although they are Shinra's special forces, they seem to be no match for Sephiroth.
"I'll take you."
His expression shifted, but he finally gritted his teeth and did it.
After all, if you don't do it, Sephiroth will kill you.
He led the way, and the two entered the Shinra headquarters one after the other.
"Halt! This is the Shinra CEO's office. You cannot go in."
Shinra headquarters, in front of an office.
The two were stopped by the guards.
Swish!
Before they could even speak, Sephiroth severed their heads with a single stroke.
He kicked open the door and went inside, carrying a Tang sword.
"Baka! Who's being so reckless?"
As soon as I entered, I saw the president of Shinra Corporation looking at me angrily.
Upon seeing Sephiroth and Zeng enter, his expression softened: "Oh, it's you two, Sephiroth and Zeng. What brings you here?"
He looked at the two people in front of him with a puzzled expression.
He kept his head down and didn't speak, while Sephiroth walked towards him step by step.
"Stop, Sephiroth!"
The Shinra president gave the other party a warning look.
Unfortunately, Sephiroth ignored him completely, instantly appearing in front of the Shinra president with a Shunpo, and piercing his mouth with his Tang sword.
Poof~!
The Shinra president stared at him with wide eyes, filled with confusion, fear, and a hint of regret.
What followed was terrifying; Sephiroth really killed people.
Without saying a word, he went up and pierced the head of the Shinra president.
"You're a piece of trash, you're not worthy to control Shinra."
After Sephiroth finished speaking, a burst of flames erupted from the blade, burning the Shinra president to ashes.
It completely ended the opponent's life.
Where is Rufus Shinra?
Sephiroth gently wiped his Tang sword and asked casually.
"Business travel in Lufax, not in Midgard."
Zeng shuddered and answered the question honestly.
"Tell me when you find him."
Sephiroth nodded, then instructed, "Immediately issue a notice to take control of all Shinra forces. Eliminate anyone who disobeys."
"Also, summon all Shinra executives; I have an announcement to make."
After saying that, he sat down in the office of the Shinra president and closed his eyes to rest.
"Yes!"
Zeng bowed slightly and withdrew.
A major upheaval has begun at the Shinra leadership level.
