i'm really only human

Chapter 499 Boss Stellius

"What on earth are you thinking about, Stellius?"

Zios, the commander of the biological Megiddo, looked around the empty temple frantically, with bare arms and disheveled hair, like a rebellious street teenager.

"Aren't we and the Sword of Truth enemies?"

"That was in the past," Stellius leaned against the throne of the Lord, his fingers casually fiddling with the hanging headband, "Now we are the best allies."

“Humph, I don’t care about any allies.” Zios opened his chest and took out his driving book, eager to undergo the forbidden ceremony. “Hurry up and increase my power to the limit! We must control that magic sword!”

"You have to think clearly," Stellius said, smiling and stirring up trouble. "Once you gain power, there is no turning back, just like Raziel."

"I'm not Raziel. I won't die foolishly," Zios said confidently. "Hurry up! Are you scared?"

"of course not."

Stellius lowered his head and smiled, then raised his hand and drew a black and red magic circle out of thin air.

"Once you are done, the Northern Base will be handed over to you. The Sword of Truth will work with you. When the time comes, we will first find the remaining fragments of the Book of Omniscience..."

"Don't tell me what to do!"

Zios grabbed the Ritual-Completing Control Book and stuffed it back into his body with a roar.

"my power!"

"Awake! The legendary Megiddo who controls all living things!"

"Ugh—!"

The huge and rapidly growing energy erupted from Zios' body, like an uncontrollable volcano, and instantly transformed in destructive energy.

The blue and white body of Megiddo, the claws of the hands covered with flames...

"call!"

The energy continued to rise, and as his body was stretched to the limit, Zios's savagery was released without reservation, the blue and white turned into red and black, and suddenly he turned around like a beast and stretched out his claws to attack Stellius.

"boom--!"

Stellius didn't seem surprised at all, and he caught the claw attack with one hand, but it caused trouble for the surrounding temples.

The originally magnificent and solemn temple seemed to have been exploded by a missile, and the flames spread mercilessly between the charred and broken walls.

"hehe."

Zios turned around and walked out of the temple as if nothing had happened.

"My target is Mei Sudo, that woman has also connected to the fantasy world!"

"Oh? Not a bad idea."

Stellius expressed surprise and curiously observed the back of the Zios beast.

A beast with only the desire to destroy left in its body actually has such thoughts.

"Controlling Sudo Mei is equivalent to controlling the magic sword, but how can we bypass the magic sword? The opponent never leaves his sword."

"You don't have to worry about it anymore!"

Zios violently broke through the temple door.

"Teleport me to Utopia Literary Society! I want to catch the editor-in-chief! Then..."

"Da da!"

The sound of footsteps suddenly rang out in the quiet passage of the base, and stopped suddenly before Zios could check.

"Ok?"

The wildness in Zios' eyes faded away briefly, and his body stiffly stared at the brightly lit but inexplicably dark and terrifying corridor.

As the lights faded, a white holy sword suddenly appeared at the end of the field of vision.

"Demon Sword..."

"Keng!"

The sword light became brighter, and in the face of life and death crisis, Zios forced himself to break free from his fear, stretched out his hand to block like a conditioned reflex, and the power of the book in his body burst out without reservation.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

When Zios came to his senses and saw the white sword blocked by his arms, he couldn't help laughing while breathing rapidly. "See? My power..."

"call!"

Nestorius of the Temple looked outside the door in confusion, wondering what was going on, when he suddenly saw Zios' laughter stop, and the figure in beast armor was suddenly swallowed by the orange-black flames and turned into nothingness.

The power of the Unnamed Sword!

Stellius stopped playing with the headband, lowered his face and stared at the glowing white sword that came into view at the door.

He had expected Zios's defeat, but he couldn't be happy at the moment.

Zios could die, but he shouldn't die here.

Even he himself was involved in the crisis.

Damn, did the Lord of Truth know that the Demon Sword would come?
"Sterius?"

Xia Chuan walked into the temple like a phantom, took a quick look around, then stepped over Stellius and sat on the throne.

"I have observed you for a long time. I know what you want to do and what your future will be like. Everything you do is meaningless."

"Ok?"

Stellius, who was quietly preparing to retreat, paused and looked at Xia Chuan, who was sitting on the throne with a mysterious aura, in confusion.

Is this a sword?

"What do you want to say?"

After preparing his retreat, Stellius raised his head again and held up a large black book with interest.

"Do you think you can stop me like this? Haha, your power is indeed strong, but it is still child's play in front of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence..."

"Do you think what is happening now has anything to do with the Omniscient Book?" Xia Chuan interrupted.

"what?"

"Since Kamiyama Touma obtained the Flame Sword, you should have noticed that this year of the untying of the world knot is different from the previous years. Both the swordsman and you, Megiddo, have become part of the story."

Xia Chuan's eyes fell on the big black book.

"That's why you want to completely restore the Book of Omniscience and regain its contents."

“Haha,” Stellius said gloomily, “I don’t understand what you are talking about at all. I restored the Book of Omniscience in order to rebuild this world, destroy mankind, and then gain inexhaustible power from fear and despair…”

"This statement can only deceive your two companions."

Xia Chuan stood up and walked down from the throne.

"There is no need to restore the Omniscient Book. I will tell you the answer directly. When you first obtained the power of the fragments, you have already become a part of the Omniscient Book. Everything you do now, and even your future actions, are all part of the plot that has been set."

Stellius sneered and pinched his fingers: "Do you think I will believe it?"

"That depends on you. Maybe you already have the answer in your heart, but you are just holding on to hope."

When Xia Chuan's perception spread throughout the southern base to investigate the exact location of the Thunder Sword, he unexpectedly discovered that the protagonist group's swordsmen had also broken into the barrier.

The person in charge of the response was actually Kamishiro Reika.

"Who do you think you are?"

Stellius's face gradually distorted, and he was shocked and angry in his heart, as if he had no secrets in front of Xia Chuan.

"How could a mere holy sword possibly know the contents of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence? Aren't you also restoring the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence? In the final analysis, you just want to stop me..."

"I won't stop you. I just want to tell you that I'm the only one who can change this world. Only I can help you escape from the story."

Xia Chuan didn't think about changing Stellius all of a sudden. After burying a seed, he turned around and locked the position of the Thunder Sword.

"Whether you want to follow the story to its end or embrace a new future, give me an answer when you have made up your mind."

"End of the story? A new future?"

Stellius looked at Xia Chuan in pain as he left. His gentle temperament disappeared and he gave off the aura of a neurotic boss in advance.

"How dare a mere holy sword boast so arrogantly... My future is decided by myself!"

Xia Chuan paused slightly, ignoring the gloomy laughter coming from the temple behind him.
