Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 803 - 414: Khorne’s Chosen: Huh? I Have to Fight Louis?

Khorne, one of the Four Gods of the Abyss.Compared to the most infamous Jianqi, Khorne could be considered the second most well‑known Evil God among the Four.

After all, although Slaanesh and Nurgle are no less cruel than him, just from hearing their names, they’re a bit lacking in intimidation.

But Khorne is different.

He is the symbol of violence, destruction incarnate, a lunatic who incites war.

He and his followers are like flies crawling over countless corpses in the haze of war, sucking the nutrients of war and expanding at a terrifying speed.

Purely in terms of destructive power, among God’s Chosen of the same tier, Khorne’s Chosen could be called the strongest in combat.

So when he encountered the sacrificial summoning, he accepted the invitation without hesitation.

—But you didn’t tell me I’d be dealing with this kind of monster!

Khorne’s Chosen was both shocked and furious.

What the hell is this thing? The moment he showed up, he got slapped with a full combo right to the face, beaten until his mind went blank and the corner of his mouth was about to be knocked crooked.

Divine Realm, without a doubt.

Only someone of the Divine Realm could unleash such terrifying power.

But hadn’t the Star Continent placed restrictions on powerhouses themselves, making it so that all Divine Realm beings could unleash only extremely limited strength on this continent?

Why would there be such a freak who was granted permission by the world itself to wield power so recklessly?

It was as if, from beginning to end, he had hardly ever borrowed any resources from this world to grow.

If you grow by borrowing a world’s power, you inevitably have to bear the consequences.

Now most Demigods can’t freely unleash their power precisely because that "loan" is still being repaid.

But how is that possible? The resources required to reach the Divine Realm are not some small figure.

Even as Khorne’s Chosen, he had consumed an unknown amount of resources from the Bottomless Abyss to make it this far.

Those who achieved higher‑tier power while using comparatively fewer resources from their native world would be the least restricted by that world.

This is also why dragons can firmly occupy a spot on the ceiling of the top races.

Because the world where the dragons originated had already collapsed and disintegrated many years ago, leaving it unable to restrict them.

Dragons who grew up amid the ruins of their world crossed the sea of stars to the Star Continent, which was equivalent to delivering a vast amount of rare resources from one world to the Star Continent.

Therefore...

Even under equal restrictions, the constraints on dragons are among the lightest.

Of course, those stories are too distant, completely turned into legend.

Only old monsters like him still vaguely remember a bit of the truth.

He had thought it would be difficult in his lifetime to encounter a true "darling of the world" as described in legend.

Until today, when he realized he was wrong.

After being slapped into the ground, he began to mull over his life.

Who am I? Where am I? Why did I come here?

Staring at the figure above, looking down at him from on high, Khorne’s Chosen started thinking about what he should say.

Can we talk this out?

Succubi next door, half‑price?

Would that be a bit too embarrassing?

But I can clearly feel that I can’t beat him.

My lord Khorne, what were you thinking? Throwing me over here to take this guy out?

Now I’m probably the one who’s about to get taken out.

Thankfully, there’s still the "cake hand."

Feeling that filthy concoction formed from the combined power of the Four Gods charging toward that existence, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Good, I don’t have to fight that monster head‑on.

He heard the will of his god.

The god told him that his opponent was not that person, but another one.

With that, he turned his gaze toward the woman infused with the aura of the Authority of Sloth... and the existence behind her.

In that instant he finally understood what his god wanted him to do.

"So you’re the one I’m supposed to kill."

Khorne’s Chosen let out a chilling roar.

Bigger! Bigger! Bigger!

His body swelled like a balloon being blown up, expanding rapidly.

Even from far away, his vicious form could be clearly seen.

On that body stretching thousands of meters tall, the Abyssal Fire of destruction coiled and burned, and he lunged like lightning in a certain direction.

"Hunter of Glory, come continue the war we never finished."

In the distance, within the Priest regiment of the Church of Glory and Justice, the cardinal narrowed his eyes and said:

"Lord Grace, take a half step back; leave that thing to us."

Grace looked at the cardinal in confusion.

That was Khorne’s Chosen, a monster with power surpassing even top Demigods by a good margin.

But the cardinal no longer had the leisure to think too much.

He stepped straight forward, the power of glory permeating his body.

A terrifying force followed right after, descending upon him.

They saw the cardinal open his mouth as if swallowing something. In an instant, the aura on him became as deep as an abyss.

He threw a punch, and it blasted out a vacuum cavity, devouring everything around it.

The terrifying aura collided with Khorne’s power, and the ear‑piercing sound made the surrounding Priests instinctively cover their ears; some of the weaker ones even had blood flowing from their facial features.

A Divine Art rose up, cast upon them, easing their pain.

The caster was Grace.

She tilted her head slightly, looking into the distance.

"The Pope has descended?"

She sensed a familiar power.

That filthy yet pure power was the hallmark of the Pope of Glory.

This was her first time formally seeing this Pope make a move.

However, why was the Pope able to directly attach his own power onto the cardinal?

And judging from the situation, it seemed the Pope had already predicted that something unexpected would happen on their side.

"Assist the cardinal and suppress Khorne’s Chosen’s power."

"Yes!"*N
