National Guardian's Gone and We're Done
Chapter 252 - 251: Could Brahma and Shiva Really Turn the Tables?
Many of the reporters responsible for the live stream were from large, well-known media organizations on Blue Star.
These media giants had deep pockets and treated their reporters exceptionally well.
So, naturally, the live streaming equipment they were provided was top-of-the-line.
They reacted swiftly. One by one, drones carrying high-end streaming equipment took to the sky.
The drones, like a flock of well-trained birds, flew in an orderly formation toward the space above the crater.
There, they hovered and resumed their broadcast.
Hearing the commotion overhead, Gao Liceng, Nalan Fengshan, and Yumizakura instinctively glanced up.
They saw the drones buzzing in the air and quickly averted their gaze.
Just moments ago, the sensory deprivation that had enveloped them vanished as quickly as a receding tide.
When they saw that the objects hovering above were just streaming drones, they paid them no further mind.
Their attention was still fixated on the crater below, on the outcome of the heart-stopping battle.
Soon, the live feed reappeared on the audience’s screens.
Inside the crater, the lingering dust was gradually dissipating, like a thick fog burning off under the sun.
The shockwaves from the massive energy explosion were also slowly subsiding.
The once-terrifying, violent aura began to fade.
However, the sight around the crater had become even more alarming.
The dense network of long, thin cracks had multiplied.
Like wounds on the earth’s surface, these fissures crisscrossed and spread ever outward.
Once everything obscuring the view had vanished,
the drones captured a clear and unobstructed view of the scene within the crater.
From the soil deep within the crater, wisps of white smoke were constantly rising.
The smoke looked like the pained gasps of the earth itself, a remnant of the recent energy explosion.
The smoke billowed upward.
Chu He stood quietly in the crater, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.
His posture was erect, his expression calm and composed. He had just emerged from a great battle completely unscathed.
As for the two Supreme Gods of the White Elephant Empire, they were a pathetic sight.
Their clothes were in tatters, as if mauled by a pack of wild beasts.
Parts of their garments were torn into strips, hanging loosely from their frames.
A small child could probably walk up and tear the strips right off with a gentle tug.
Not a drop of blood flowed from the two Supreme Gods, yet many parts of their bodies were a ghastly sight.
Chu He’s ferocious attack had scoured away their flesh and blood,
leaving nothing but stark white bone exposed to the air.
The bones gleamed with a ghastly pallor in the faint light, a chilling sight to behold.
Of Brahma Heaven’s original five heads, only one remained.
This last one was the centermost of the five.
The head was a terrifying sight. The crown was caved in, as if smashed by some heavy object.
His hair was a tangled mess, like weeds thrashed by a storm.
Within his fractured skull, a light like the break of dawn flickered in and out of view.
Brahma Heaven still wore his nonchalant smile, but on his ruined face, it looked exceptionally eerie and sinister.
To have suffered such grievous injuries without shedding a single drop of blood—
this alone was enough to show that Brahma Heaven’s body was fundamentally different from that of a mortal.
"Hmph, just as I said. The White Elephant Empire’s so-called Supreme Gods are completely powerless against Chu He."
"Right? They made such a grand entrance with the sky glowing and everything, acting all high and mighty.
And what happens? Has it even been half an hour? I doubt it. And now they’re beaten to a pulp. It’s pathetic."
"Don’t forget, these are the Deities of the White Elephant Empire. Given the Empire’s usual arrogance, is it really a surprise they got thrashed this badly?"
"Hey, where’d all the viewers from the White Elephant Empire go? They’re usually so chatty. How come the live chat is so quiet now? Come on out and say something."
"This Chu He is terrifying... Just how strong is he?
Can the peak of human Martial Arts really be this powerful? Even Deities are no match for him. Or maybe this Brahma Heaven and Shiva aren’t real Deities at all?"
Once the viewers in the live stream got a clear picture, the chat exploded like a pot of boiling water.
Some marveled at Chu He’s immense power, while others seized the chance to mock the White Elephant Empire’s Deities.
Still others were stunned into silence by the sudden outcome. A whirlwind of emotions clashed and churned in the chat.
"Even a Brahma Heaven and Shiva awakened to this degree are no match for Mr. Chu."
Yumizakura, standing at the edge of the crater, muttered to herself.
A trace of lingering fear remained in her eyes. Just a moment ago,
Brahma Heaven’s technique had instantly robbed her of all her senses.
She had felt like a fish on a chopping block, completely at his mercy.
That move alone would be enough to eliminate many powerful opponents in battle, a testament to Brahma Heaven’s strength.
Yet even so, he had been defeated by Chu He.
Chu He withdrew the Xuanyuan Sword.
From within his body, plumes of black clouds began to spread.
The black clouds, as if alive, rapidly extended toward Shiva and Brahma Heaven.
A flicker of terror crossed Shiva’s eyes, and he immediately shut them.
He had keenly sensed a fatal threat within those black clouds.
’I’m no match for this human,’ Shiva thought. ’Even with Brahma Heaven, we can’t stand against Chu He.’
’Continuing this fight is just waiting for death. It’s meaningless.’
’Besides, most of my flesh has been scoured away. My power has dropped by at least seventy percent compared to my peak.’
’I wasn’t a match for Chu He at my peak...’
’...let alone in this pathetic state?’
Step by step, Chu He walked slowly toward Shiva and Brahma Heaven.
The moment he drew near Brahma Heaven,
an indescribable destructive power suddenly erupted from within Brahma Heaven’s body without any warning.
Like a long-dormant volcano, the power instantly coalesced into a single, ferocious punch.
Brahma Heaven put every ounce of his remaining strength into it, aiming a vicious blow at Chu He’s chest.
"Damn it! The insidious bastard was faking his weakness!"
"No, I don’t think he’s faking. He’s genuinely been pushed to the brink. He’s probably trying to burn the last of his strength to take Chu He down with him."
"Chu He’s completely unprepared. He’s in trouble now."
"I knew it. A true Deity like Brahma Heaven possesses wisdom beyond mortal comprehension. No matter how strong Chu He is, he’s just a reckless brute. How can a beast compare to a wise Deity?"
"Wisdom? You call *that* wisdom? Spoken like a true citizen of the White Elephant Empire—bragging without a hint of shame. This is just treachery."
"Winner takes all. It doesn’t matter how it’s done. At this range, even if Chu He isn’t finished, he’s going to take a serious hit."
Most people were glued to their screens. No one had expected Brahma Heaven’s sudden attack, and everyone waited nervously for the outcome.
Could Brahma Heaven and Shiva really be about to turn the tables?
