Chapter 374 The Second Heaven's Spears, Stark is Back
Chapter 374 The Second Heaven's Spears, Stark is Back
"FUCK," Aphex's pupils shook as he saw the giant angel appear above.
"This is bad," Follower backed away too.
They knew they couldn't escape this spear, they had seen it beforehand do some crazy tricks just to hit all of its targets.
The description of the skill also stated the angel of the spear never missed his shots, no matter what.
"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?" Follower's gripped Aphex's armor, "IS YOUR ATTACK THAT WEAK?"
"..." Aphex didn't say anything, his expression turning grim.
"SAY IT!" Follower shouted, punching Aphex with all his might.
Yet the apostle didn't even retaliate, he didn't care anymore.
"I'll say it to you quickly," Aphex chucked desperately, clapping his hands three times.
Doing that, Aphex summoned three screens around him.
Each of them displayed a video of Stark.
"Now watch very closely..." Aphex sighed, snapping his fingers, the first video playing.
"..."
...
In the outside world, everyone could also see the three screens that appeared, the first video taking over the screens of everybody.
There wasn't a single person out there that wasn't shocked by the turn of events.
When they thought that Chosen was dead, Heaven's Spear was suddenly activated.
But if it was activated, then it means that Chosen isn't dead?
Did he survive? Did he use any tricks?
No, the screens clearly showed him being disintegrated out of existence, even Aphex confirming it.
"This is insane..."
"I knew Chosen wouldn't die!"
"That's why he was so confident..."
Across Rheria, in every country and city, people watched.

"NICE ONE, KID!" Mike Gardenis nodded.
"Hm, as expected," Arthur Moonless sighed.
"..." Aiden Heartsouls stared at the screen, shocked but not willing to say anything.
And so, the first video played.
It displayed the fight between Judicator and Stark.
But the fight wasn't what interested Aphex, instead...
It was the part where Stark was cut in half.
You could clearly see that his body was split in half by the weapon, and even a panel came to confirm it.
[Chosen has been killed.]
"Huh?"
"Wait, that seems familiar..."
"Those powers...!"
People slowly began to associate Chosen with the black-haired guy with crimson powers that had taken the media by storm thanks to his fight recordings.
Previously, Stark's face was hidden by [Aura Camouflage], but now in this trial he didn't bother using it, everyone seeing his real face in full view.
One minute after being killed by Judicator, the camera focused on Stark's body.
"What the..." Follower's eyes widened.
Between Stark's upper and lower half, a crimson link was formed, and only a few seconds later, the two halves regrouped.
[Chosen has been revived.]
He was back to normal, at full health and without any injuries.
This was beyond any resurrecting power even a saint or artifact level item could produce.
"Let's move," Aphex groaned, clapping his hands to make the first screen disappear.
Then he snapped his fingers again, this time focusing on the second.
It displayed the fight between Stark and the Guardian Ape.
"Wait a minute, wasn't that the monster from the execution that went viral?"
"You mean the one where the monster was immortal, and that guy used the sword of the ape to decapitate it?"
"Shit was so cool..."
"So it was Chosen, huh."
Slowly, more and more similarities between the two appeared.
Black hair? Check.
Same body size? Check.
Crimson aura? Check.
Exact same powers... CHECK!
It was now confirmed, no one could deny it: Chosen WAS that powerful guy that took the world by storm!
On the other hand, Jay Heartsouls, Stark's brother, was absolutely furious.
While entering his very first secret realm, he had met with that guy, who was wearing a bunny-mask at the time.
He looked weak and without his place with all these strong people.
And yet, remember how he had fucked him and his [Wyvern's Wrath] group over?
Jay still held a grudge to that guy after all this time.
And now, he was finding out that it was his very own brother all this time?
It meant that Stark was the one that had humiliated his group by outsmarting and outpacing them, even though they were supposed to be the strongest.
Plus, he stole the boss kill from them and got all the recognition from the other powerhouses.
"THAT FUCKING ASSHOLE..." Jay couldn't believe it, his pupils shaking, his eyes mad with fury.
"Wow, what's happening?" Aiden raised his eyebrows, surprised to see his son this mad.
"Stark is the one that... that... THAT FUCKED US OVER!"
He couldn't believe it, and immediately contacted his group to tell them about the news.
They were just as surprised.
And yet...
[Well, there's nothing we can do.]
They all answered.
[Huh? What do you mean there's nothing you can do?]
[Jay, that guy got us fair and square, plus, do you not seem him right now? He could kick our asses with his eyes closed...]
[That...]
That was true.
Jay was currently level 430, but if Stark managed to take on monsters at level 600 and even, as Aphex could actually be comparable to a level 750 if not more.
Then it meant he stood no chance if he fought him.
He was too weak to do anything.
Plus, even if he was level 900, confident he could take on Stark, couldn't his little brother just... you know... tactical nuke him and the entire city to win?
He needed more power...
'I need... more... power...' a vortex of spinning aura and insanity appeared in his eyes.
And at that moment, a crimson panel appeared before him.
[Do you want more power?]
[Join me, and you will gain so much of it you'll become invincible!]
No one but him could see that panel as his parents and sisters kept looking at the screens, which displayed some of the fight between Stark and the Guardian Ape.
[You'll always be in the shadow of your brother, and in the shadow of everybody else.]
A holographic crimson hand appeared before Jay, urging him to take it.
[Take my hand, and we'll become strong.]
"..." Jay's eyes widened at the sight, it was beautiful, "I... I... I wanna defeat everybody..." his expression was of pure hatred.
[Then we will.]
"Very well," Jay took the hand of the entity, accepting its conditions.
[Then let us become stronger.]
Ding!
[You have initiated the "Godless Demon Curse".]
[You will rise higher than all of your peers.]
Jay was ready to take his revenge and prove to the world that he was the true winner.
He was the one that was about to get his harem of beauties and have them agree to all share him.
He was the one... that would go farther than Stark ever could.
...
Back to the screens, the battle finally reached the moment where the Guardian Ape crushed Stark, destroying all his bones and organs.
But just like before, after less than a minute, and the Guardian Ape thinking he had won, Stark's body suddenly began to reform.
It was a gruesome sight, but the bones reformed and all his crushed limbs went back to normal.
[Chosen has been revived.]
And so what followed was obviously what all the classifiers had been fantasizing of doing: an execution.
"Still as cool as ever."
"Chosen's so cool~"
"Marry me!"
Fwish!
He pulled the blade that pierced the guardian's neck and used it to decapitate it.
"Do you see now?" Aphex clapped his hands again, the second screen disappearing.
"So he can just... come back?" Follower thought, "This doesn't seem believable..."
"Who knows, now just watch what actually happened inside that crater," Aphex snapped his fingers.
This time, even he would discover at the same time as everyone else the contents of the third screen.
It showed Stark's body get erased from existence by the [Moonlit Obliteration] beam, that made sense.
But then... while they were fighting, less than 60 seconds later...
Fwish! Fwish! Fwish!
Crimson energy began to crackle in the air around the location Stark had been killed.
And then...
Fwish! Fwish! Fwish!
Slowly, Stark's body to reform.
His cells, which were erased, began to appear again to create his body.
First it was his legs, then his stomach, and his torso, arms and finally, his head.
And just like that, Stark was back to before.
Previous, Stark's revive only put him at one hp, but maybe because of his upgrade in aura, this revive brought him back to max hp.
"Do you understand now?" Aphex looked down, gritting his teeth, "You fucked us both," he pointed up at the angel.
"No... this doesn't make sense..." Follower shook his head, "So he can just revive himself an infinite amount of times?!"
Aphex shook his head, "No, Lord Godless went as far as to use an artifact altar to check out his talent, and all it says was that he can revive himself once."
"So basically, he revived himself once with the token, then again with his talent, huh."
"Pretty much."
At that moment, Stark had felt that the moment was right as he didn't like wasting any more of his precious time in this place.
And so that brings us back to before:
"Throw that spear into them, I want them dead, but make sure to not throw it with so much power as to kill me or the girls too."
[Very well.]
Fwish... BOOM!
"HOLY SHIT!"
"..."
