The Butcher of Sargon

Volume 1 Chapter 85: Audience with a God

Immersed in using Ascension Power to influence the disaster, Garde was startled when he suddenly realized a large group of people was staring at him.

"You all saw that?"

It wasn't something he intended to hide, but if word spread, traveling across different nations would surely become more complicated. 

After all, only ancient entities, predating Terra's civilization—the gods—could influence natural disasters.

The boost from the hero template was tremendous for Garde. 

Without it, he would have just been a slightly stronger crocodile man. 

But with the template, even without using Ascension power, Garde could hold his own against someone like Gladiia, a Abyssal Hunter from Aegir. 

The only downside was that the hero template leveled up painfully slowly. 

After all these years, he had only reached level 4.

“So, that’s how it is.”

Fernando looked at Hades and recounted the past events.

Hades fell silent.

In his memory, the Four Chaos Gods only intensified their erosion of the physical universe after the Monarchia incident.

But clearly, Fernando and his companions had encountered a Great Unclean One of Nurgle.

This was even earlier than the time the Twilight Raide...

"Heroic spirit? Hehehe, this is the first time I've heard a human call me such a decent name. If it were in the past, I’d have already stripped you of your soul and crafted you into a puppet for such impudence."

Amid the smoke, a sharp sound like nails rubbing against a blackboard echoed throughout the hall, and then a dark figure slowly walked out through the smoke.

Rumbling, rumbling, rumbling!

The howling wind roared like countless airplane engines thundering on the ground. 

The deafening noise echoed clearly even within the underground passage, tens of meters below the surface.

Thousands of Lizardman gathered there, huddling together, praying for the gods to calm their wrath. 

In this harsh, frozen land, survival was already difficult.

It was a strange place.

The entire room was carpeted with layers of dense, decaying spore bodies. 

Once thriving, these resilient plants were now dead, their pale-yellow spores floating up into the air with every step Fernando took, swirling gently.

Vines had overtaken the control console, thick, coarse tendrils covering the buttons and levers. Not far off...

“Well then, this is the gift from our Mage’s Tower to Your Majesty, along with a new patent system approved unanimously by the Tower itself.

In the dimly lit library, the faint glow of three candles burned quietly, casting shadows that crept into every corner.

Hades sat across from Fernando, staring in disbelief at the three tarot cards spread before him.

The darkened library, strewn with ancient weapons, the golden inscriptions scattered across the floor, the blood marks on Fernando's face...

Hades blinked in surprise.

This was a Nightzmora Knight!

Even though its blood and bones were long separated, even though it had been dead for millennia, and even though there was no visible trace of the Nightzmora left on its body, Garde was sure: the mechanical centaur before him had once been a Nightzmora Knight.

Being a machine, it was no longer bound by the limitations of a mortal body. 

However, apart from its centaur form, the mechanical knigh...

Fernando sat opposite Ugo, looking at him with a serious expression.

"You’re saying that when the new recruit touched you, you felt your psychic abilities being suppressed?"

Ugo nodded silently.

"Yes, teacher."

Fernando remained silent.

In less than ten minutes, the swarm of beasts charging toward Garde and Surtr fell like cut wheat, wave after wave. 

Despite their numbers, which could drag the battle out for a long time, they were just as delayed by Garde and Surtr as Garde was delayed by them.

The beasts had remarkable vitality. 

A slash or a stab barely fazed them. 

However, what they couldn't withstand was the natural disaster of the Hotlan...

It was obvious that Edward, who had neither done live streaming nor been an influencer in his previous life, and hadn’t even dabbled in stand-up comedy, had no idea how to break the ice in situations like this. 

The moment he spoke, the entire banquet's atmosphere grew tense and awkward.

In contrast, those who noticed the scene behind Edward began to chatter in surprise, clearly curious about where Baron Edward Durin was at that mom...

Like a dagger in the hand of death, it waited silently for the next inevitable demise.

People streamed across its hull, busy as ants.

And in a hidden, inconspicuous corner of this vessel, a conversation was taking place that would determine the fate of the entire Legion.

Facing the assembled captains, Hades let out a deep sigh.

As soon as Garde's words fell, the ground beneath them began to tremble.

A horde of disaster beasts started fleeing from the center of the Hotlands to avoid the hot winds, as they couldn't stay in the deep desert for hours without breathing. 

But their reason for heading towards the Lizardman's market wasn't merely to escape the heat.

These beasts seemed to be taking advantage of the fact that the Lizar...

The clock in the room continued its duty with a steady tick-tock, the dim yellowish glow slowly sighing across the darkness.

Hades glanced silently around the long table at the seven captains seated there, their faces expressionless and severe as they gazed back at him, waiting for his response.

Hades remained silent.

He understood them.

No one expected Saria to say something like that in such a moment.

In an instant, the admiration that the Rhine Lab operators felt for their director surged like a never-ending river.

Could it be that something had happened between Director Saria and Mr. Garde without them knowing?

The meeting room is plain and unadorned, with an outdated, rarely seen mechanical clock hanging on the white wall, ticking monotonously. A banner hangs from another wall, but it's not decorative—just a single, solid color, and its edges are slightly yellowed.

In the center of the room is a long table. Six captains are seated along its length...

The Lizardman market wasn’t large—walking from one end to the other wouldn’t take more than two kilometers. 

But since it was built into exposed mountain terrain, it was difficult to see the surroundings once inside. 

The Lizardman caravans passing through the market all knew that underground tunnels were built within it to avoid natural disasters. 

When they sensed the arrival of hot winds, their first ...

On the mountaintop, a forest stands resiliently against this cold, and deep within lies a castle.

In the marketplace, Garde and Surtr walked side by side.

Their contrasting heights created a striking difference, and Surtr’s unique appearance attracted frequent attention from the surrounding Lizardman.

However, when they noticed the tall and muscular figure of Garde beside Surtr, many of the Lizardman quickly averted their gazes.
